Brita Sailer to host workshop to update residents on recycling practices
What numbered plastics can you recycle? How do you properly dispose of batteries? How about fluorescent lights? What about Styrofoam?
You might think you know the answers to these and other recycling related questions, but Brita Sailer, Cass County recycling education coordinator, said recycling standards are changing, and you might benefit from a refresher course on the three R's.
"You really do have to adapt to make sure you are up to speed," Sailer said.
Sailer will offer just such a course at the seventh annual Back to Basics Sustainability Fair, which will run from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 26, at the Pine River-Backus School. Sailer's workshop, "Recycle That, Too!" is meant to educate people about the changes happening in the world of recyclables.
"We used to tell them just 1 and 2 (plastics). Well, that's not true anymore. We can throw everything in, but plastics have different recipes," Sailer said. "Think of it like making cookies. There are lots of white powders that go into making cookies ... but you can't interchange them."
Sailer, a former Minnesota House of Representatives member, owns Sailer Environmental Consulting, contracts with Cass County and was an essential part in making Minnesota the first state with legislation to handle disposal of electronic waste. Her business experience, as well as her legislative experience, has made her an expert on recycling.
Sailer's workshop will educate people on why batteries are now more disposable than ever, how to dispose of electronic devices once they fail, and what happens to your soda bottles once the soda is gone. She will do this by showing examples of recyclable products in most stages of recycling, from the sorting stage, to the packaging stage, to the breaking down stage, and finally in the repurposing stage.
The workshop will mostly be dedicated to explaining what should be recycled and how, as well as why. Sailer will even inform audiences how your neighbor's unused paint, cleaning supplies and other approved products can translate into free products for you.
Sailer will discuss not only what has changed, but also what is going to change in the future. Landfills are one of the least favored disposal methods, but Sailer said traditional opinions of landfills are changing as it is discovered that they can be dug up for the resources disposed of in the past.
"We are going to be digging up our landfills, probably in the not-too-distant future because landfills are full of copper and all sorts of valuable materials. Even aluminum," she said. "Making aluminum uses so much energy."
So, if you didn't know that alkaline batteries can now be disposed of in a traditional waste basket, that Styrofoam is actually recyclable but is still not accepted at your local recycling plant, that there are some things that can be recycled but shouldn't be, and that landfills are actually full of buried treasure, then chances are you could benefit from Sailer's workshop.

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I love batiks and D9P is one of my favorite patterns! Great quilt. I'm going to look for your other 2013 quilts!

Another gorgeous scrappy. Well done.
Aloha Karen
very cool and colorful.
Nicely done!
Retired teacher, loving it.
Love quilting also.
Great job! Definitely a black border. You could piece six inch strips of the various batiks and make a multi-colored inner border. It would be a lot of work but nice.
Wayne & Gabriele, the married quilters.
Love it. i have always controlled my colors, only 3, and now want to make one with tons of colors.

Gorgeous! If you want a border, I agree with the black, or a narrow black inner border & your favorite of one of the other fabrics.

I think a black border would look great!

Kenny Wilson (left) and Tom C. Frost
Kenny Wilson appointed development board chair
By Lorna Stafford
Development Communications Coordinator
(Sept. 16, 2008)--Kenny Wilson, president of Bank of America for Central and South Texas, has been appointed chairman of The University of Texas at San Antonio Development Board. Wilson, who has served on the board since 2006, assumes the new role Sept. 16. Tom C. Frost, the board's chairman for 18 years, will serve as chairman emeritus.
"The most important factor in the success of our community is education," said Wilson. "UTSA continues to grow and create new opportunities for San Antonio. I am honored to play a role in the next phase of the university's expansion."

Wilson, who has been a major supporter of UTSA and its mission to become the next premier public research university in Texas, also has served on various boards throughout the region including chairman of the board of the Greater San Antonio Chamber of Commerce and board chair of the Free Trade Alliance in San Antonio. He currently serves on the board and executive committee of the Greater Austin Chamber of Commerce, and as a board member of ACCION Texas, San Antonio Museum of Art, San Antonio River Foundation, Economic Development Foundation, UT CTRC, P14Plus Education Council, and United Way of San Antonio and Bexar County.
Under his leadership, the Bank of America Charitable Foundation gave $1 million last year to help fund the Child and Adolescent Policy Research Institute, now named the Bank of America Child and Adolescent Policy Research Institute, or CAPRI.
Frost, who is chairman emeritus of Frost Bank in San Antonio, was chairman of the UTSA Development Board since 1990. Through his leadership and support, the university has increased its student enrollment, increased the number of nationally recognized faculty and implemented millions of dollars worth of infrastructure construction.
"Today is a great day for UTSA, a day we celebrate two outstanding leaders in our community," said UTSA President Ricardo Romo. "Thanks to Tom Frost's leadership at the helm of our development board, UTSA is well prepared for the challenges that lie ahead. And, thanks to Kenny Wilson, a leader with great vision and a can-do attitude, UTSA is in great hands as we continue our journey toward premier public research university status."

Speaker: Tamim Ansary, Author, Games Without Rules
From the outside the conflict in Afghanistan has been painted as a war between pro-democracy forces and Islamist fanaticism. It is, however only one small part of the larger and much older conflict—between Kabul and rural Afghanistan, between the attraction of the modern world on the one hand and traditional Afghanistan on the other.
Drawing on his Afghan and Muslim roots, Tamim Ansary reveals a centuries-old internal Afghan struggle the world has never fully understood. Ansary sheds light on a country desperately trying to find its identity, while undermined by its own demons, plagued by a 40-60 year cycle of invasion by outside forces and constantly at the center of an ill-informed international political debate.

Beautiful time we have spent in Barcelona....and definitely we will be back and use Xavier hospitality again.
Thank you so very much
Aga and Arek
We enjoyed a very pleasant stay in Barcelona due to the room close to the city center we found by WIMDO and due to Ramon, a nice person who welcomed us in a very friendly way. He showed us around in the apartment - a comfortable and clean room with an additional bed for our little daughter (4), with TV, balcony above the street and a big, modern wardrobe, a spacious bathroom. He led us to the kitchen, showed us the well filled fridge with lots of things to take for breakfast, explained everything in good English and gave us many good tipps and hints as to what to see in Bacelona and how to get there. Thanks to his tipps we had a wonderful time in this great city, and we learned a lot about everyday life there. He was very nice to our little daughter so she got the impression this is her uncle. We enjoyed our stay very much, and when we go to Barcelona again, we surely will prefer to stay with Ramon and Xavier. Thank you so much for everything, as well as for taking us to the airport by car in the middle of the night!
Hi all,

This is a SUPERHOST ! We enjoyed every minute on this apartment. The location is great near to PARALEL METRO station, or you can go on foot to Rambla, Maritim museum or port. It's not noisy, very good sound insulation on windows. very confy beds. Ramon has doing a great job explaining all the major interest points in the city and how to get fast. Good breakfast.
If I go again in Barcelona I will check up here !
Thank you for hospitality !
Very kind staff, perfect location and everything was clean!!! The kitchen was very helpful and well equiped.
The apartement was very clean and Ramon was very friendly. He helped us with our sightseeing tour and offered us a lot of information about Barcelona.
Ramon is one of the nicest person I have ever met. The room was amazing, huge, clean and tidy, I hadn't any problem, kitchen was provided of all facilities and overall is a nice house. in my opinion price was excellent, perfect position literally 2 mins from the metro and 10 mins from the centre. My stay was brilliant, Ramon helped me a lot and explained all the places of interests, giving me suggestions for the fastest path and so on. I definitely recommend it.
Grazie di tutto Ciaoooo :))

Reviews of this property
Excellent place to stay with.
While being extremely busy, Tarina took the time with her husband to show me around a place I had to go.
The flat is lovely, quiet, clean and well equipped.
The business trip was a real pleasure thank you.
We reallay enjoyed our stay at Tarinas place. It was cozy and clean and very near to the Tower Bridge. Thank you Tarina!
The apartment is nice, cosy, bright, well located and very clean.
I stayed here for 4 days and 5 nights with a friend and we felt perfectly at home.
The small kitchenette is very useful and fully equipped for 2 or 3 people; the bed is very comfortable and the shower worked perfectly. There was even a washing machine that we didn't have the time to use. There were even europe adaptors, thanks a lot for this courtesy.
What's been said about the traffic noise (ambulances, police sirens, etc.) is accurate. It didn't really bother us too much but it does get quite at times, but not excessively noisy, which might bother some hosts especially at night time. Also, the wood Venetian blinds do not hide the bright lights properly from the main avenue. It would be great if the owner could get a long and thick curtain and double glazing. This would really solve the only negative points of this accommodation.
It is a very lively quarter. You'll find everything you need nearby in terms of food, goods and services. Both tube stations Aldgate East or Whitechapel (District/Hammersmith & City lines) are approximately 10 minutes' walk from the apartment. If you're a tube addict as myself, please do consider taking bus 15. The bus stop "New road" is nearly in front of the house and it takes you directly to several central points of interest such as St Paul's cathedral, Tower hill and Trafalgar square (last stop). It is rather comfortable heading back home from Trafalgar on the 15. It does take about half an hour but it is direct and a rather pleasant trip.
The apartment that you will be booking online might not be the one you'll get. Tarina and her family rent several small apartments in the area but they seem to be quite similar. We met several Tarina's relatives during the stay, notably at the check in/out. They live in the area and are very kind and helpful. Everything was very functional so we just contacted them once to let them know that the remote control wasn't working and they quickly replaced it. They also managed to keep our luggage before and after the check in/out, which was extremely useful for us. If you need any help do not hesitate to communicate with any of them. Thank you Tarina, Bill and Mabs for your kindness and assistance.
See you someday maybe. :-)
We have not seen Tarina, studio tiny comfortable bed, but unfortunately the studio overlooks the highway noise all night.
Nous n'avons pas vu Tarina, studio tout petit bonne literie, mais malheureusement le studio donne sur la route du bruit toute la nuit.
We were warmly received by Tarinas uncle Abraham. We lived a few streets away eventually, as originally planned, but it was ok. and unproblematic. We have enjoyed our time in London very much. The location is good, because it is fast in the center and can also be quite good shopping. We would not hesitate to stay there again, for Abraham and his family is very nice.
Wir wurden freundlich von Tarinas Onkel Abraham empfangen. Gewohnt haben wir letztendlich ein paar Straßen weiter, als eigentlich geplant, aber es war ok. und unproblematisch. Wir haben unsere Zeit in London sehr genossen. Der Standort ist gut, denn man ist schnell im Zentrum und kann auch ganz gut einkaufen. Wir würden jederzeit wieder dort buchen, denn Abraham und seine Familie ist sehr nett.
Overall satisfied with the place! Good value for London. Room still noisy as busy street and no double glazing. But in the center by metro, namely what we seek. Small finishes the room unrealized damage! Very comfortable bed! Hosted by a different host Tarina, very friendly, this time to the day of arrival and available if any concern.
Globalement satisfaite du lieu ! Bon rapport qualité prix pour la ville de Londres . Chambre tout de même bruyante car rue passante et pas de doubles vitrage . Mais dans le centre rapidement en métro , à savoir ce que l on cherche . Petites finitions de la chambre non réalisées , dommage ! Très bonne literie ! Accueillies par un hôte différent de Tarina , très sympathique , présent à l heure le jour d arrivée et disponible si moindre souci .
clean, safe, and it's pretty fast in the center
sauber, sicher, und man ist ziemlich schnell im Zentrum

Have a top bar hive with a screened bottom, then a bottom cover I can unlatch to let the hive get some air.
It has been closed for awhile due to the cool weather. So today I opened the bottom and saw some larvae on the bottom of cover. I guess the bee's can't get to them because of screen and they found a way to get into that space. Any way I am posting some links to the pics below. Can anyone identify what these critters are? Also I am thinking of coating the bottom of the board with some petroleum jelly to prevent this in the future.
Some who fell onto the ground.
And here is some new comb the bee's are working on.

One aspect of fitness is dealing with the weather in a healthy and safe way. The Windows Phone app WeatherCare hopes to help you combat the elements in a healthy, safe manner by providing weather tips based on your current conditions.
Tips range from health related to clothing tips to driving tips. On rainy days you may get a tip to watch for slippery spots on the road or on sunny days with a high UV Index, tips to wear sunscreen for protection.
WeatherCare has potential and I like the concept, but the app still needs a little fine tuning.

The anti-sweatshop movement scored a major victory in September 2002 when 26 major retailers settled a lawsuit targeting working conditions on the island of Saipan. The settlement capped a bitter, three-year legal struggle between advocates for sweatshop workers and some of the world's largest apparel companies.
In 1999, Global Exchange, Sweatshop Watch, the Asian Law Caucus, and the garment workers' union UNITE filed a class action lawsuit on behalf of workers in Saipan, a US commonwealth. Consumer pressure, spearheaded by Global Exchange and Sweatshop Watch, helped convince 19 retailers to settle the lawsuit in 1999 and 2000. But several of the corporations— led by Gap Inc., JC Penney, and Target—refused to settle the suit, preventing a comprehensive resolution to workers' woes. That resistance finally broke down, paving the way for a full settlement involving the US retailers and 23 local manufacturers, who together will pay $20 million into a fund to pay for back wages and create an independent monitoring system to prevent future abuses.
"This is a significant victory because it pushes the envelope on how far workers and consumers can press retailers to be responsible for the conditions under which their clothes are made," Nikki Bas, co-director of Sweatshop Watch, told the San Francisco Chronicle the day the settlement was announced.
The settlement will help guarantee that workers in Saipan making clothing for some of the world's most profitable companies no longer suffer routine abuses. The deal calls for:
- A Code of Conduct. Companies agree to meet basic standards, including paying for overtime and supplying safe food and drinking water.
- Independent Monitoring. The International Labor Organization will conduct announced and unannounced inspections to check out worker complaints.
- Compensation. Some 30,000 former and current garment workers are eligible for $6.4 million in unpaid back wages.
- Repatriation. Workers who want to return to their home countries (most garment workers in Saipan are guest workers from China and the Philippines) will be eligible for up to $3,000 in travel costs. This will help guest workers avoid being placed in indentured servitude, which prevented many of them from standing up for their rights.
Chie Abad, a former sweatshop worker who has spent the last three years tirelessly traveling the US educating people about the abuses in Saipan, was thrilled with the settlement. "For me it's a great thing that this happened, that the workers will get their human rights," Abad said. "Finally their voices have been heard."
There is no question that sweatshop abuses remain a problem in countries around the world. Workers face hazardous working conditions, suffer poverty wages, and experience repression when they try to form unions to protect their rights. The Saipan settlement represents a small yet significant step toward ensuring that the people who make our clothes are treated with dignity.

Acoustic is a beautiful and authentic acoustic folk song that consists of several acoustic guitar parts that piece together to create an uplifting and emotionally-charged love song. So what if the strumming is a little messy. Love sure isn't perfect, and that's what makes it authentic. It has the feeling of hopeful excitement. I'm excited about this one. Hope you find it enjoyable as well. Enjoy, rate, comment! I always appreciate and respond to feedback, criticisms, and suggestions. Thank you!
Purchase will include both WAV and MP3 files.

Flu and Norovirus update
|Author: Kathryn S.
Date: Friday, January 11th, 2013
We have received several inquiries regarding the flu activity and if there are vaccines still available.
Currently, the CDC still recommends receiving the vaccine if you have not already received one this season. As of 1/11/13, WKU Health Services has approximately 70 doses still available.
Influenza activity continues to increase in 9 of the 10 regions of the United States and most of the country is now experiencing high levels of influenza-like-illness (ILI) several weeks before the usual time of late January or February, according to CDC's latest FluView report. The other U.S. region, the Southwest and California, had "normal" flu activity last week.
The CDC continues to recommend influenza vaccination for people who have not yet been vaccinated this season and antiviral treatment as early as possible for people who get sick and are at high risk of flu complications. The vaccine will reduce the risk of getting the flu and/or may reduce the severity of the illness, preventing pneumonia and other life-threatening conditions of flu.
Norovirus Concerns: In addition to the flu, there has also been an increase in the Noroviruses (AKA "Stomach Flu"). Infection with these viruses affects the stomach and intestines and causes an illness called gastroenteritis. These can be spread quickly. There is no vaccine, nor any treatment for Norovirus.
To help reduce the spread of infection of the flu and/or norovirus, please follow these steps:
- Stay home if you are sick
- Do not share food or drinks with people
- Practice proper hand hygiene – wash your hands
- Clean surfaces and wash laundry (be aware that it is difficult to disinfect surfaces contaminated with the Noroviruses)
- Rinse food and cook thoroughly
- When you are sick don't prepare food or care for others
- See your physician if symptoms are severe
- Get the flu vaccine
Important Seasonal Flu Information: The flu vaccine covers the H1N1 virus, H3N2 virus and influenza B virus.
- To expedite services, please read the Patient Rights and Responsibilities and complete the Adult Consent Form prior to your arrival. If you are a new patient, please also complete the New Patient Form.

text: We all think about doing it. Some of us actually make it part of our professional life. Food diaries. More specifically, your client's food diaries. Nutrition and scope of practice is, and will continue to be, a tricky area for ACE candidates and professionals. We've talked before about the limits of your certification with regards to nutrition (Talking Nutrition), but I wanted to specifically address food diaries in this post. For those of you not familiar with food diaries, they are a written record of everything a client has eaten over a specific time period. A food diary can help a client keep track of what they are eating as well as how much they are eating. The time period covered in a food diary can range from one day to a daily record, depending on the client and their needs or goals. Many personal trainers will have a client who is interested in weight loss keep a food diary for several days, then go through the record with the client to educate him/her on areas that he/she could be eating better, If your client is keeping a food diary there are a couple of things you can help them with while still staying within your scope of practice. You can help your client to review the information in their diary as a means of finding patterns and problem areas. Sometimes clients are not aware how much or how frequently they are eating – this is particularly true with snacking. By reviewing their food diary you can help your client to figure out what nutritional areas need attention based on the client's goals. When working with a client and their food diary, you can also educate your client about healthier choices or options using information from the Dietary Guidelines etc. For example, if your client is trying to lose weight, you may point out that their food diary reveals a lot of cream based pasta sauces, which can be high in calories. You can then educate your client about healthier pasta topping options – marinara sauce, herbs etc. – that they could investigate. However, remember that you cannot make dietary decision for your client. You can offer them options and choices, but you cannot tell a client 'you need to use marinara sauce instead of cream sauces'. We need to provide our clients the tools and information necessary to make the decisions on their own…which also allows us to stay within our scope of practice. Questions about where to find the latest dietary info? (Don't forget there is a recent post about the Dietary 2010 Guidelines update!)Questions about scope of practice?

I periodically cite new academic research about tax policy and economic activity. I sometimes even publicize research from international bureaucracies showing the link between taxes and growth.
I'm not naive enough to think that any particular study will change minds, but when the bulk of the research unambiguously tells us that lower tax rates are better for economic performance, I think (or at least hope) that it may have some impact on government officials.
That's why I'm particularly interested in some new research by Cornell University's Karel Mertens.
Here are some key findings from Mertens' study, beginning with some observations on existing research.
To what extent do marginal tax rates matter for individual decisions to work and invest? The answer is essential for public policy and its role in shaping economic growth. The strand of the empirical literature that uses tax return data, surveyed in Saez, Slemrod and Giertz (2012), finds that incomes before taxes react only modestly to marginal tax rates and that the response is mostly situated at the very top of the income distribution.
So what does this mean? A lot depends on how one defines "modestly," though it's worth noting that even very small changes in growth—if sustained over time—can have big impacts on prosperity. That, in turn, has a significant effect on government finances.
And I have no objection to the assertion that upper-income taxpayers are most sensitive to changes in tax rates. After all, people like me who rely on wage and salary income don't have much opportunity to alter our compensation in response to changes in tax rates.
But upper-income taxpayers get most of their compensation in the form of business profits and investment returns, and this gives them substantial control over the timing, level, and composition of their income. So it's quite understandable that their taxable income is quite sensitive to changes in tax rates.


text: In Malcolm Gladwell's book Blink, he has a study on how to determine if a patient is having a heart attack. It turns out there are really only a few things that matter and that the more information doctors gathered in making their decision, the more likely they would make a bad one. He gives many examples of the same concept, that too much information causes us to make worse decisions. What we need to make good decisions is big picture, not all the details. I think the more you measure all those small things the more tempted you will be to limit the gene pool much more than you should, and you will put too much emphasis on things that simply don't matter at all.

Hey Guys,
I just wanted to apologise and give a small brief as to why I have been absent recently...
At work there has been an opportunity to highlight myself within the company and my role as a marine design engineer?
I have recently taken on a project managers role for the development of a new portfolio product Water Quality System (WQS) this basically takes in pumped sea water and filters it through hydro-cyclonic filtration? This then passes the filtered water through to both our fitted seals and bearings for a multitude of vessels in both commercial & non-commercial.
This project then became very high level when we were approached from a non-commercial client to retrofit 123 vessels with seals / bearings & WQS systems... With me now being the WQS guru (not a self-proclaimed title by any means) lol. It fell upon me to design a complete system that will both suit there filtration requirements while being able to fit into a very small space envelope on-board. (bad times).
But over the last couple of months I stepped up in front of the senior management team and presented my designs, which were then passed onto the end user in way of a tender and it looks as though it will be taken... (Good times).
So in a nut shell, I apologise to everyone that has either sent a PM or an email, I will be going through everyone and responding accordingly. I have no excuse other than what I have posted above which has been quite stressful.
But I do understand and I expect some flak for not updating you guys.
Please check my other threads with updates.

Discussion in 'The Coffee Shop ~ Chit Chat' started by ChevyFan, May 20, 2007.
This was about 2 blocks up from my house. That Crown Vic got it's front end taken off.
Woops, oh that'll buff right out.
I wonder what ever came of this issue. I actually snapped this photo a good number of weeks ago and just found it on my system. I really couldn't tell who's fault it was to tell you the truth.
a little paint,and it'll be good as new
Hope he's Ok. Next time slow down, that bag of day old donuts will be there when he gets there. Geeez
New Jersey Driving at it's best
Wow, that's horrible. Driver was probably killed in that or at least very seriously burned. Nuts how the first couple of people just drove around and kept going like that Jeep Grand Cherokee.
Maybe I'm just a heartless prick, but there really didnt seem to be anything to stop for unless you like to watch fire.
someone could have stopped and heroically jumped out of their vehicle to try to pull the person out, don't know if I would have done it, but I certainly would have stopped and tried to help any way possible. On the topic of the cop car, from those pics it kinda looks like the car's driver rear tire is sitting on blocks. I know it's not, but that's what it looks like.
The news reports said that the driver was prone to seizures and that's what they think happened. They said he was doing about 65 mph when he hit. He was obviously killed instantly and could only be identified by dental records. The Cop on scene was sitting about 100 yards away doing Truck inspection checks. You can see him run up to the car but the heat was to intense. As for people just driving past it like it wasn't even there, thats Jersey for ya. Everybody always in a hurry.

[quote user="MattMeyerBud"][quote user="dezzzR"]lol i looked matt and you didnt ask me "what does a head coach do" once. you DID however ask how can i hate someone like girardi and support tc. girdardi is one of the most unconventional coaches in baseball. just dont like his style. he did an amazing job with our sp last year but i feel we could of won at least one ws in the past years with a different approach and coach.
tc is a traditionalist, old school, hard *** whatever you want to call it. youre right a head coach is suppose to make sure the players are ready and prepared, i still really dont think a coaches main job is to motivate a player, he should try to an extent but a player needs to be able to motivate themselves, agree to disagree i guess. iv notice that its just the defense that always seems to give up, they probably were indeed "prepared and ready"(tc own words) to execute fewells plan, but it hasnt worked since hes walked in the front door. like i said few times the buck stops with tc i get that, but to start calling him out saying he needs to be fired, i cant wait, tcs 20-100 against winning teams......the man deserves better is all im saying.
Bottom line is that we do take it on the players and coordinators every week. <u>At what point of having the SAME thing happen with different players and 3 different DCs does it stop being everybody else BUT the HC.</u>
Just curious, what do u think was the major change in San Fran was? Braylon Edwards?
[/quote]youre looking at the glass half empty. 05 we went 11-6, 07 superbowl, 08 12-4. hes done some great things with this team. whats the same thing. defensive players quiting on horrible schemes? cause the only time iv seen them really quit like the other night has all been under sheridan and fewell. theyre horrible coordinators. but like i said hes head coach and hes in charge. maybe it will be good if he leaves. but no need for the spite.
im not going to pretend like i know why the 9ers are winning cause i dont watch them. they havnt played any good teams though besides detroit though.

Leah McLennan spends two nights sampling the array of relaxation options on offer at Sir Richard Branson's heart-shaped Australian getaway.
The reclusive spinster Hannah Makepeace could never have imagined that one day a British billionaire would be having a fabulous time in a grand resort on her namesake island.
How surprised the housekeeper would be to hear that in 2003 her beloved island was bought by Sir Richard Branson and Brett Godfrey (former CEO of Virgin Australia) and reincarnated as a Balinese resort.
Back in 1924 Hannah moved to Pig Island, as it was previously known, to work for Mr and Mrs Nicholas. She later inherited the island from her long-time employees, who had no children.
This nine-hectare, heart-shaped, subtropical island - once home to just one rambling white Queenslander that Hannah lived in until she passed away aged 89 - now boasts a cluster of Balinese-inspired dwellings and is one of Australia's most exclusive private island rental escapes.
Usually private island resorts are hard to get to, but Makepeace is surprisingly easy - it's a 30-minute drive from the Sunshine Coast Airport or a 90-minute drive from Brisbane Airport.
When you arrive at Noosa Marina, there's a zippy white boat waiting to be boarded and you're then whisked away by Makepeace staff to another world.
Then the fun begins.
There's Moët and hot towels on arrival. Butlers to carry your bags. A boat captain at your disposal. A chef to prepare whatever your taste buds desire. And plenty of places to sleep: there are 11 bedrooms to choose from - all with romance-inspiring four-poster canopy beds.
The overall feel of the place is open and comfortable - where you can just be yourself surrounded by family and friends. There are no other annoying guests because the place is entirely yours.
The only intruders as such are the wonderful, attentive staff, comprising Nick (manager and executive chef), Sarah, Dennis, Jason and Nic, all of whom become buddies within the brief time it takes to eat lunch.
By the time I've demolished a goat's cheese, fig and prosciutto salad and a luxurious chocolate tart, I've decided I want to stay longer than just two nights.
Fortunately, my list of must dos for this getaway is brief: catch up on sleep.
But on this island and beyond temptations abound.
There are small catamarans and kayaks, fishing rods at the Boat House, a tennis court, and a barge, known as an "aircraft carrier", where you can have parties.
There's an enticing collection of coffee-table books to be read under lofty coconut palms, dozens of large stone Hindu statues to photograph and a lovely pool with a 15-person spa.
Just deciding where and how to relax is difficult - shall I wander to the open-sided wantilan (village meeting place) for a game of chess on the giant marble set?
Sit in the Long House, home to the bar, and play on the range of musical instruments (piano, gamelan and bongos)?
Maybe I should take a rest in the four-bedroom Bali house or relax in one of the two-bedroom villas with traditional thatched roofs, granite baths and indoor goldfish ponds?
And then there's Noosa.
One of the benefits of this location, unlike other remote private islands, is that you can have your seclusion, but are just 10 minutes from a fancy seaside town.
Noosa can easily keep one busy spending money for hours with its ritzy day spas, city-trained baristas and cosmopolitan boutiques.
I never quite make it to Noosa during my stay on Makepeace - each time I planned to venture out, the afternoon refreshments, hor d'oeuvres or sundowners were served.
So what would Hannah think of washing down a seared scallop and three-citrus salsa with a mojito or slurping on oysters with champagne vinegar mignonette?
I doubt she could have ever conceived of such frivolities as an outdoor cinema, a synthetic grass flood-lit tennis court, a 500,000-litre lagoon pool and a helicopter landing pad on her little island.
Ms Hannah Makepeace would be astonished to see how the alchemy of time has transformed this islet from a place of isolation, hardship and hogs to one of romance, exclusivity and absolute indulgence.

Apple Signs License Agreement with Swiss Railway for "Stolen" iOS 6 Clock Design
Tiffany Kaiser

The companies haven't disclosed how much Apple is paying
Apple has decided to pay up for an allegedly
stolen clock design
in its latest iOS 6 mobile operating system.
IOS 6, which was
released last month
only days ahead of the iPhone 5, featured a new clock design for the iPad that seemed pretty basic. Just a white face with black, rectangular notches representing the numbers, black hour/minute hands and a red seconds hand. No big deal, right?
Wrong. The iOS 6 clock was nearly identical to a clock design developed by a railway company in Switzerland called Swiss Federal Railways (SBB). SBB said its company created that clock design back in 1944.

When SBB became aware of the stolen design, it immediately contacted Apple in hopes of some sort of licensing agreement.
"We are proud that this icon of clock design is being used by a globally successful company," said Reto Kormann, SBB spokesperson. "We've approached Apple and told them that the rights for this clock belong to us."
Apple has agreed on licensing terms
for the clock design with SBB. However, the companies haven't disclosed how much Apple is paying.
It's interesting to see Apple on the losing end of a copyright infringement claim; especially after the hell it has put Samsung through over mobile patent lawsuits. After a lengthy battle with Samsung around the globe, a U.S. jury
found Samsung guilty of copying the iPhone/iPad
for its Galaxy line. Not only was Samsung ordered to pay $1.05 billion USD in damages, but a court date on December 6 may lead to more product bans for the South Korean electronics maker. Apple is also looking to
boost that $1.05 billion fine to $3 billion

It's not about how much skill is required to do something.
It's about how well you can do a defined element.
Yeah, I'm sure doing a triple back-flip requires more skill than doing a quad,
but you ain't gonna get any points for it.
If you legitimize UR as you suggest and give in-between points,
skaters who are not quite capable of clean triple jumps or 3-3 combo will be practicing under-rotation and doing them on purpose in competition.
Do they/we/you really want to see that?
Besides, are you going to give same points to a jump with 2.6 rotations as a jump with 2.4 rotations? How about 2.2?
IAGH (it ain't gonna happen).
Figure skating jumps are well-defined moves.
Either you do a triple, or do a double. Not something in between.
It should never be "jump up, and rotate as much as you can!"

Secure Denture Adhesive Strips for upper plates.
Posted by Reviewer1586683 on Jul 03, 2010 | Verified Purchase
Every add I've seen for the denture strips says they are for use with the lower plates. They do a pretty good job there, not perfect, but better than most adhesives. Where I think they truly shine is on the uppers. My upper plate has alway given me problems with pain when I bite down on something hard or tough. The strips totally eliminated that, and I can generally leave them (the uppers) in for up to two days. Use the little piece(s) of strip trimmings across the rear of the plate for extra holding power.

A student at the University of Colorado at Boulder died Monday, Feb. 3, at University Hospital in Denver following a short illness diagnosed as meningococcal meningitis.
Scott Matthew Connett, 19, a sophomore prejournalism major from Longmont, entered University Hospital on Sunday, Feb. 2. He lived at Farrand Residence Hall on campus.
University and Boulder County Health Department officials are investigating the single case and report that no other cases of the disease have been identified.
"We are saddened and shocked by the death of our student, Scott Connett," said Chancellor Richard L. Byyny. "Our hearts go out to his family and friends. We extend our deepest sympathies and offer our counseling services to anyone who needs assistance during this sad time."
Meningococcal meningitis, an inflammation of the membranes of the brain and spinal cord, and its accompanying bloodstream infections are rare but potentially dangerous, said Dr. Jim Schlegel, a physician at CU-Boulder1s Wardenburg Health Center.
"The risk for contracting this disease is low, but individuals who have had close intimate contact with the victim are advised to receive antibiotic treatment as a preventive measure," Dr. Schlegel said. Intimate contact includes kissing, sharing eating utensils, and being exposed to droplet contamination from the nose or throat.
Others with concerns about the case may call Wardenburg's special hotline set up at 492-6083.
Dennis Lenaway, Boulder County Health Department epidemiologist, said, "It's important to remember that a single case does not constitute an outbreak. Such isolated cases occur from time to time, especially during the winter and early spring months. Nevertheless, we recommend that anyone experiencing symptoms of the disease contact their physician."
Symptoms of meningococcal meningitis include fever, severe sudden headache, stiff neck, nausea, vomiting, rash and lethargy.
Lenaway said, "If anyone feels they are in the at-risk group by having had close personal contact with the victim, they should call the Boulder County Health Department at 441-1417 for further information." CU-Boulder students, faculty or staff in the at-risk group may receive antibiotic treatment at Wardenburg Health Center.
CU-Boulder has launched an information program to answer questions and respond to concerns about the disease, said Ron Stump, dean of students. Special informational materials and consultation are being provided to residents of Farrand Hall, as well as to other students expressing an interest. Victim advocacy and counseling staff members are available to work with individuals needing assistance.

Let's Consider Taxing Legal Sevices in Palo Alto.
Original post made by Solutions, Downtown North, on Nov 1, 2007
Above is just a partial listing of private law firms extant within Palo Alto. Collectively, these firms bring in BILLIONS in untaxed revenue.
Why not include private legal services in the local sales tax? Just this tax alone would help towards keeping our city fiscally sustainable.
More communities should consider this.
a resident of Another Palo Alto neighborhood
on Nov 1, 2007 at 1:45 pm
Do other Cities tax law firms? If not all the law firms with offices in PA will move out and go to Cities that don't charge a law firm tax.
a resident of College Terrace
on Nov 1, 2007 at 1:53 pm
Most cities don't tax legal services, but there is a groundswell of activity in this area, to change that.
Why should legal services not be taxed? If we loose legal services companies - so what? What are they doing to help generate local revenue? Why shouldn't they be taxed?
a resident of Downtown North
on Nov 1, 2007 at 3:18 pm
Here are some interesting numbers:
Revenue per lawyer: $790,000
Profits per partner: $1.275 million
WSGR has 168 partners
WSGR this generates a *profit* (not revenue) of $214M. That's just ONE law firm.
Why aren't we taxing some of this *revenue*, which is a far higher number?
Add up all the law firms we house in Palo Alto - how important are they to the local economy? They pay no taxes, other than property taxes, if they own their own facilities. Why?
a resident of College Terrace
on Nov 1, 2007 at 6:41 pm
You do that. Then you'll see every restaurant in your city buckle after the business lunches and recruiting lunches go elsewhere -- same goes for copy vendors and every other shop the evil local lawyers support.
a resident of Another Palo Alto neighborhood
on Nov 2, 2007 at 8:38 am
If you tax the law firms around Palo Alto Square and these law firms move out to other Cities; watch the retail and restaurant businesses on California Avenue collapse.
The law firm I worked for on Hansen Way has already left and moved to Santa Clara to be closer to the high tech businesses further south. I bet other law firms would love an excuse to make the same move.
Contrary to what many Palo Altans may think, PA is no longer the center of the high tech industry.
a resident of Downtown North
on Nov 2, 2007 at 11:41 am
California Avenue will be fine, and companies like WSGR will not move; they'll simply pass the increases on to their clients, the very wealthy corporations whose own lawyers are living on the edge of the current legal feeding frenzy in Silicon Valley.
I would like to see somem good arguments for not taxing legal services - especially legal services provided to corporations. Much of the "legal action" we see today is comingn from deal making and lawsuits over intellectual property disputes. The law firms are raking it in, and corporations are winning massively profitable legal battles. (btw, this ends up costing consumers more - that's me, and you).
So, why aren't we taxing these services? And how is it that one almost NEVER sees any suggestion to do so? Could it be that the primary reason for this is that probably a majority of our legislators are afiliated with the legal profession?
We are passing up an opportunity to open this conversation at the policy level. Why not?
If we lose a few firms, others will replace them. There is ino end to the opporunity to sue, and make money. the most prominent firms will continue to stay
Conservatively, assuming one billion in revenues for corporate legal services here - apply the local sales tax to that. It;s a pretty significant number. Everyone should pull their weight, including the cash rich legal sector.

My wife works for a major corporate law firm (not in Palo Alto). Those of you who think you can just tax law firms without repercussion are not being realistic.
Law firms are run any other businesses. They make decisions about the cost of doing business in any given local just like other profit-making enterprises. Moreover, within the local area, their operations are highly mobile. My wife's firm expanded their office in Menlo Park instead of San Francisco explicitly in part because the cost of doing business is lower in MP.
I don't know how much overflow business that the existence of law firms provides for other PA businesses like restaurants, but I do know that if you tax lawyers you'll have fewer of them in town. (Of course maybe a lot of you think that's a good thing!)

Just a few pics from camping this last weekend.
Looks like you were loaded for bear (or fun)!
Well I was loaded for 5 woman? Four girls and the HH6. So yes Loaded for Bear.
Thanks MK
looks like a fun time
Looks like you have the THULE M.O.A.B. basket. I just picked one up off Craigs list. Love it. Do you have the net for it or do you pack a bag on it and stuff it full?
Lookin good.
The Thule basket I hve is called the "Play Pen" It was before the MOAB. It was silver aluminum. I painted it black. I think it is smaller then the MOAB.
I just got it and it was my firt use of it. I have Sea bags strapped in the pictures. I also used ruermaid tote oxes strapped in on the way over. either way worked good. I am still undecided on the look. I got some plans make it more intregrated with the rack system and not so high of of the canpy.
I am in the process of LineX'ing the roof between the Rails for the Rack System. This will help in keeping the roof clean and better protect the roof line in case small items scratched and or dropped on the roof. Hopefully reduce the chances of ruining the paint from splintering the fiberglass and scratching.
It will not be visable from the ground. a 4 foot x 3 foot section.
Wow, that's what a truck is for, I tell you what! Is that the Olympic mountains in WA state? I've not been up there in years, but I love it over there, would love to take a trip there next year with the family.
my truck probably would of just got stuck in there lol
look so good
TwoTone, I'm Sure you would look so goooood doing it.
looks like a blast!!

Excerpt: "The Kansas City Chiefs are on the verge of a deal to make Andy Reid their next head coach, Chris Mortensen and Adam Schefter of ESPN report. This according to league sources.
There still are minor details to work out but after nine hours of meetings Wednesday, one source involved in the talks said "the major issues have been discussed and agreed upon."
One source close to Reid said this morning, "This is going to happen fast."
The two sides spent the day Wednesday meeting at a private airport in the Philadelphia area. Reid had been scheduled to fly to Arizona to speak to Cardinals officials about their head coaching opening, but talks progressed with the Chiefs to the point where no hangups are expected.
The Chiefs' contingent of officials included owner Clark Hunt, general manager Scott Pioli, executive Ryan Petkoff and president Mark Donovan, who used to work in Philadelphia with Reid." Read more...

Hi Everyone,I wanted to chime in and give my very brief thoughts on the 2004 Mazda RX-8 that I had this weekend. I will do a comprehensive write up when I get a chance later this weekMy cousin needed the use of my Dodge Caravan, so I traded him this weekend for his 2004 Mazda RX-8. His only has 42K miles, and is fully loaded. Black interior/black exterior. It is in near mint condition. The vehicle isn't very photogenic from some angles due to the protruding front fenders. I don't really like this aspect of the car, but the rest of it is fabulous. The center indentation on the hood, the suicide half doors, and unique C-pillar (no true B-pillar req) with the contour lines all equate to a beautifully designed and purposeful styled car. The interior was nice. The seats were supportive and not too firm. While I never grew accustomed to the Mazda interior layouts, it was nice and very intuitive. Easy to learn, and exhibited good quality. I appreciate that this is a true 4 seater also (separated by the drive line). The Engine is a 1.3L rotary. It puts out 232HP and 159 ft-lbs of twist. This is more than enough to propel this car to levels that satisfy the weekend warrior on the coastal highways. The whine of the rotary is sensual and a bit crude all together, if that makes sense? I love the high RPM driving characteristics, as well as the quickness in which the engine winds up. It was very gratifying on hills and quick exits from deep corners.The 6 speed manual was nicely spaced and worked well. Certainly not the most crisp, but very good indeed.The car is nearly perfect in its balance. I was able to push the rear end out quite easily (which to no surprise this car is also used in drift racing). Steering was quick and required minimal inputs to get the job done.The only negatives I found are the common gripes among Mazda RX-8 owners. 1. Mileage. It's rated at 16/22, but I do believe I hovered in the 14/19-20 range. This is a complaint I've heard from other Mazda RX-8 owners, but chalked it up to exaggeration. There is no exaggerating here. The mileage is on par with Full size SUVs.2. Maintenance. Another common gripe is the oil burned between changes. This may be due to high RPM driving, but that's not practical nor always the case. This may be part of the cost/maint of rotary engines.Overall a fantastic driver for drivers. Commuters and pseudo drivers need not apply. Although Mazda offers an auto for them also. Thanks,Karmann.
"If one does not fail at times, then one has not challenged himself" Ferdinand Porsche
Thanks for the review. I like the car a lot I really dont see it as a car that would serve the commuter role very well, which is what I need. If I ever got a purely recreational car, this would be in my top ten.
Supreme Emperor of the Testing Forum, CTS and Offshoreqa forums.
For the mileage you were getting, you could get any of the current pony cars and get better fuel economy yet the same performance or better, even in the V8 versions. Though, that might not apply to the next gen rotary's.
--------------------------------Something stinks and it ain't me. E-thugs: always looking for a fight, no matter how meaningless.I drank all of RL's rum.
Nice review. Excess oil use and poor mileage have been problems with the rotary engine. I've got an 84 RX-7 on it's second engine. I love the car but mileage could be better.

Yeah, the new rumor is a 2.0L, triple rotary engine that gets slightly better economy.Not sure how they will pull that off since rotary's don't get good economy in the first place. Maybe they should just go with a single rotary engine with a turbo on it to get decent power levels and good economy.BTW, the 1.3L engine, for those who do not know, are two 0.65L rotary engines stock together.What is cool about them though, is the more miles they have, the faster they become. So the engine now is going to make more then 232hp. I think that it was caranddriver, they tested this rumor out. Stock, off the lot, pulled to 60 in 6.6 seconds. At 40,000 miles, it was running to 60 in 5.9 seconds.Only downside is that rebuilds are recommended before 100,000 miles.

I think with the sequential power cycle scheme of the rotary, the static displacement of the engine would actually be comparable to a 4-stroke piston engine of 2x the displacement. So a "1.3 L" rotary is actually breathing and exhaling like a 2.6 L piston engine, for each revolution indicated at the tach.Additionally, the rpms of the rotor is actually 1/3 the speed indicated on the tach. The only thing that is really spinning at 7000 rpms in a rotary is the output shaft (courtesy of the 3:1 eccentric gearing). The actual rotor is really just chugging along at a placid 2333 rpms as you swing the tach needle into the redzone.
_________________________________________________ It's not that I really needed 370 hp...but having 150+ hp riding shotgun at a moment's bidding w/o a 6000 rpm moonshot is what makes me feel like I'm in the right car for me. The roar of a v8 seals the deal!Is the Change everything you had hoped? Do you feel safer? Does the world now love us? Where did your $'s go?

thanks for your review. I really like the RX-8, its a pure sportscar.
One great looking car, with one of the great chassis out their, with one of the worst engines. Before Wankel fans jump me, it is smooth and is fun to rev like mad, but I am a HUGE fan of Torque and it makes me cringe the fact that a 4 banger accord, Camry, Altima and Malibu have more torque. Obviously I realize COMPLETELY different cars, but still. They are fun to drive as long as the revs are above 5K. I'm a V8 man, so not my cup of tea but they still are pretty damn cool.

Thanks for that little mini lesson! The Rotary is quiet an interesting engine. A friend of mine is a Rotary lover, but I don't like them. He brags that there is only 3 moving parts, but I could care less. Your engine brakes, and few people know how to work on them! lol. I am a V8 and I6 guy, but the diesel is stop the king. All that torque!!! which the rotary completely lacks.Rotary Makes power like a 3.0L to 3.5L V6 engine.Makes torque like a 2.4L I4Gets economy like a 5.7L V8.I think it would be smart for Mazda to make a MazdaSpeed RX-8 that is turbocharged to pull around 300hp and really help improve that lacking torque, and strengthen the torque curve.

They must have relisted it because I saw it for sale at least a week ago. The receiver looks cast to me.
I just noticed this Gunbroker auction:
I did not know DPMS made FAL receivers. I'm going to have to check into this.

I seldom talk to liberals.............................. But when I do, I order fries............
They must have relisted it because I saw it for sale at least a week ago. The receiver looks cast to me.
The Logo and markings on that receiver are ugly, ugly, ugly. Most FAL builders tolerate the DSA markings only because the receivers are such good quality. I don't think I'd buy a DPMS FAL receiver after seeing what they look like.

I can't find them on their web site. Anyone have a link?
I saw that too! I searched around but dint find anything that jumped out. I guess I'll wait for a "spud" for my STG58.

dpms did make fal receivers a few years back i'm not sure if they sill make them or not. there good receivers but there logo is very big and ugly on the side
IIRC, DPMS came out with these around 2001 or maybe a bit earlier. The early ones had all sorts of problems with the locking shoulder cut being way off and various other problems as well. DPMS was looking to expand into the FAL market with these, but I think they dropped them after a year or so due to poor sales. Brownells used to carry them, but I haven't seen them advertised for a few years now. Do a search over on the FALFiles, I'm sure you will find several threads on these.


text: Guinevere, I would be hesitant to go to a lawyer. Unless you want the job back or feel that they owe you something significant, I'd avoid that. You have an offer and promising interviews, no reason to compromise those, by getting involved in a contentious law suit. Which may yield nothing.

This week, November 7th through the 10th, Microsoft hosted educators all over the world in Washington, D.C. for the annual Partners in Learning Global Forum event. Educators got the opportunity to network, attend keynote speeches from educational leaders and present their own innovative projects that leverage technology in the classroom. The event is a great complement to the Microsoft Imagine Cup, with an emphasis on inspiring and addressing world-wide education concerns.
On Tuesday's keynote, U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, along with Microsoft Vice President of Education Anthony Salcito, announced that the DOE's TEACH campaign will be taken over by Microsoft. This site, a marketing effort aimed at recruiting new teachers, will be moved from its current home at teach.gov to a new site, teach.org. Going forward, Microsoft will be forming a coalition of private-sector companies to support these efforts. Secretary Duncan's full remarks can be read at the ed.gov website.
This is an interesting move by the Department of Education. Teach.gov launched a little over a year ago and aimed to help show people what teaching was really like. It also provides resources on how to get started in this career including directing access to financial aid scholarships or federal grant programs that can help.
Out of curiosity, I took the existing survey to become a teacher and while the links to further information were good, there didn't seem to be a lot of targeted information for me for finding a job in Wisconsin. I did enjoy seeing how easy it was to import new job data, with plenty of helpful XML syntax. For a site that wants to be the clearing house for teaching-related job information, both on the recruitment side as well as the employer side, that openness is welcome. I'm hopeful that Microsoft will recognize that need for that openness and ease of use while simultaneously increasing the depth of information there, which quite frankly, can use some work.
But the event is more than just a place where education leaders can make policy announcements. Educators showcased innovative ways they've integrated technology into their classroom curriculum, whether that involved programming, data analysis, or online collaboration. These projects are judged by a panel of education experts and awarded prizes at the end of the event. There were a number of U.S. educators present among the 115 world-wide educators competing in Washington DC. The below video shows some of these educators talking about their projects.

World Peace - Is It Possible
Original post made by World Citizen, Crescent Park, on Jan 2, 2013
The answer is, world peace is everybody's responsibility. You may say, isn't that somebody else's responsibility? I submit, we are all part of that elusive term, somebody else.
I would like to request that you consider,
1) Devoting at least one hour a year, or more, to this worthwhile goal, and
2) Spend at least 45c, or more, on postage to do something constructive in achieving this goal.
Why now? One reason may be that this time of year one hear's a lot about the historically and often times spoken goal of "Peace on Earth, Goodwill Toward Men". This sounds wonderful, but as leaders of our community the question becomes, "what can I do about it?"
Embracing the concept, "Think Globally, Act Locally", I appeal to you to be a part of the solution.
Several years ago, UN Secretary General Kofi Annan spoke to the General Assembly about this very concept. Amongst his comments were these quotes, as follows:
"We try to picture all governments listening to -- and acting on -- the will of the people."
"We do this because progress in our world does not happen without someone first having a vision or a dream."
"On this International Day of Peace, let us dare to imagine a world free of conflict and violence. And let us seize the opportunity for peace to take hold, day by day, year by year, until every day is a day of peace."
Yes, you have a lot on your plate already. Those activities are important. I'm not asking not to make those activities a priority. Instead, what I am asking for is for you to take a moment to lend a hand, in this special effort.
Humanity depends on it.
How you go about it, when you decide to do it, can be left to your best judgement. I do hope before year 2013 ends, you find the time and a way, large or small, to do your part to support the efforts of others in one way or another. If you do, many will think the world of you.

Syria is testament to the fact that it is important to lead from behind. World peace can be established by pretending that evil does not exist.
Peace...in our time.
a resident of Crescent Park
on Jan 2, 2013 at 9:01 pm
Well, we have about 1/4 of the world who believes that world peace must be the peace of Allah ... so that might be part of the problem. Another 1/4 seeking to expand their empire by force into Tibet, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and by oppressing their people.
Maybe if we could get some kind of cell-phone democracy up and running we might see what the world has to work with and whether a democratic peace is workable or not. Not sure what we do if it is not.

We will never be able to achieve world peace until the Darwinistic mechanism of war and genocide are replaced.
We are the top of the food chain. We have no predators to keep our numbers within sustainability, and our quality high. Instead, we have developed war, so that in a sense, we are our own predators.
We now have the technology to replace the necessary Darwinian function of war through breeding regulation, but do we have the strength to implement it? I think not.

World peace is, indeed, at hand, but its coming has nothing to do with nice feelings and conscious efforts. Rather, it's the natural by-product of humans taking up agriculture 10-15,000 years ago, and better nutrition leading to higher IQ and a host of other violence-diminishing effects.
Web Link
Voltaire mocked optimism in Candide, but when he made the point that we must 'cultivate our garden' rather than blindly trust that we live in the best of all possible worlds, he didn't know that he was being incredibly ironic. For it is, in fact, mankind cultivating the garden that has over the course of thousands of years led us to what, in terms of violent & death from conflict, is the best of all possible worlds.

Chris, have you ever read either of two books by the anthropologist Jared Diamond, the oddly and poorly titled "The Third Chimpanzee", and is new book "The World Until Yesterday"?
Diamond makes the surprising point is made about how humans were healthier, and lived longer with less stress as hunter-gatherers than in farming communities.
Diets were more varied and more nutritious in the hunter-gatherer communities than in agricultural communities, and social structures were simpler and less stressful, less violent although violence is always a factor when it comes to humans.
Farming had human being substituting grain for the varied diet of the hunter-gathers. The fossil record shows a smaller skeletons and more evidence of disease in the bones of those in agricultural civilizations that in hunter-gatherers. I was surprised by this last year while reading "The Third Chimpanzee". Hunter gathers also surprisingly also had more leisure.
It is population conflicts that probably drove most of this and I am not suggesting that humans should return to hunter-gathering ... even if it was possible, but there is much we can learn about how we could live by looking at the past and not taking what we have been told as gospel.
As Bill Joy pointed out, first that I can recall in the public space, that intelligence and technology is a dual-edged sword and can work for and against civilization. The accessibility to information and technology can enable terrorist destruction as well as progress, or the use of technology that may not be appropriate or constructive.
So in cultivating our gardens we have inadvertantly build and travelled the path that leads to over-population, scarcity, hierarchical societies and war among elites. Maybe if we can understand the ironies and discuss them widely and openly we might learn, but as has been the case all through human history the general trend has been for elites to try to maintain control of information and weapons.

Is World Peace achievable? Or in the alternative, are the consequences of continued confrontation, violence, war, strife, hatred, terrorism, slaughter and the toll on human life acceptable? I submit, that trying to turn this tide, making the effort and contributing to the solution is a far better choice.
There are many ways in which one can consider enhancing and contributing to the important topic of World Peace. Below are three programs that a citizen can consider, as follows:
1) Sister City program
Numerous cities, counties and individuals across the U.S., and especially in California, have committed to joining the Sister Cities International program, which President Dwight D. Eisenhower started in 1956. Since that time, nearly 600 communities in the U.S. have relationships in nearly 2,000 communities located in 136 countries on 6 continents. For more information, refer to their website, www.sister-cities.org.
2) Peace One Day program
Started in 1999, this non-profit organization establishes Sept. 21st each year as a day of non-violence, international unity and cooperation. In 2001, the United Nations General Assembly unanimously passed a resolution supporting this effort, which now involves countries around the world, allowing for medical staff to enter hostile areas for medical assistance and a focal point for world peace. The U.S. Senate passed a similar Resolution on Sept. 17, 2009. For more information, refer to their website, www.peaceoneday.org.
3) Mayors For Peace
You don't have to be a mayor to become a member. Established in 1982, this international organization is dedicated for the promotion of peace. It was nominated for the 2011 Nobel Peace Prize. This organization promotes a way to transcend national borders and work together to press for nuclear abolition. As of January 1, 2013, membership stood at 5,524 cities in 156 countries and regions. For more information, refer to their website, www.mayorsforpeace.org.
As with many solutions to challenging problems, numbers count.
To personalize this email, allow me to share that I believe in community service. Dedicated to the public good by leaving a legacy of efforts and accomplishments is a very satisfying way of life. No amount of compensation or recognition can surpass the personal satisfaction of giving back to the community.
