I hexed myself for being thankful for working on Sat. 400 mile trip 07:00 (1) Paper Mill load to p/u 1000 lbs overweight drive axles 1 hr (2) flat 3 hr wait, ( 3) jam up at intermodal yard 2 hrs (4) Paper Mill 2nd load to p/u not loaded check for other loads 1 hr.(5) Train stopped at crossing 20 min. and after getting around old man driving 40 in 60 mph zone finally and thankful to be home 22:00
I am thankful that the rain is supposed to stop here some time next week. :sleep:
I am thankful that I am not (yet) in Kansas.
better be thankful if your on high ground or have a boat , be safe down there
I am thankful for the continuing efforts to find cures for cancer and the time researchers spend attempting to halt a killer disease.
I am thankful I am leaving Kansas in eight hours.
I am thankful that things are coming together for me to move to TN. I still have to make some money but I am well on my way. :glasses:
I am thankful for a Father who always gave me something to shoot for, even if he didn't know it. While we had tough times we also had good times.
My father taught me how to work on cars beginning at age 8. I always looked forward to no school the next day as I got to work at the Chevron Station he managed. He taught me how to work hard every day just by his actions.
He was the first to put me behind the wheel of a Pete at age 14. He showed confidence in my mechanical ability and also bragged about my athletic feats. While he seldom told me I did good he always told others how proud he was of me.
Didn't get to see Dad today but I saw him on his birthday just a week ago. He wasnt home today and I know not where he was. I did leave a message on his answering machine.
I am also thankful that I was able to be a father and teach my children working hard is good for the soul.
I got texts from 2 of my 5 children today and that was wonderful.
Hope all had a good fathers day.
Today I'm thankful I was wise enough to inspect the lighting on a used trailer I looked at. What a mess...

This week, I've been writing about container gardening activities you can do with your kids (or with your favorite kid-at-heart). Here are some more great ideas I found in the wild, wild, web.
- Sow and Grow: The cover art alone made me want to buy this book, and I don't even have any children of my own (yet). It is a book of gardening projects and activities–indoors and out–for parents to do with their children.
- 10 Ways to Fire Up Kids' Imagination and Get Them Digging: The ideas highlighted in this article are fun, and not the same-ole-same-ole. Okay, #7 has been around the block a few times, but the rest are pretty fresh. The author is obviously and creative parent!
- Simple Container Gardening Project to Do With Kids: I liked how this project featured recycled containers that kids can decorate. Is there anything better than arts and crafts mixed with playing in the dirt for the under 10 set?
- Cute Idea for Keeping Kids Interested in Their Gardens: TreeHugger highlighted this story. Worst case scenario, parents will enjoy their kids mug on the tomato plant they are caring for in their kids' absence.
- How to Create a Frog Pond: The Kids Garden website was full of fun ideas for gardening with kids, but I thought this one was especially interesting.

Craving Attention
Craving Attention
Dear Editor;
It's outrageous that a very important event such as the Relay For Life which is sponsored by the American Cancer Society, The Rockaway Kiwanis Club and the Rockaway Beach Civic Association and hosted by our local Beach Channel High School should receive such little attention in your paper.
June 2 edition had a small article buried in the back of the paper. Another walk received front page attention in the same edition. June 9 has movie night on the front page and no mention of the walk.
The students at Beach Channel are very enthusiastic about volunteering and participating in this cancer fund raising activity. It would be wonderful to showcase our local school for the positive things happening there and not the negative. We do hope to see coverage of it in your next edition.

Back in April we got our first listen of Daft Punk's new single Get Lucky and from the get-go, it was a smash hit song … one that will likely win the title of Song of the Summer for 2013. Because one can never have too much of a good thing, Daft Punk has decided to remix their own song and re-release a 10 minute version of the track. That's right, folks. If the 4 minute radio edit isn't enough, even if the 6 minute album version isn't enough … we now have a 10 minute remix version of Get Lucky to satisfy your aural needs.
As much as I love the Get Lucky, I don't know that I personally need to hear 10 minutes of the track but … I'm sure there are plenty of folks out there who are happy with this release. Now, instead of having to play the song two times in a row for satisfaction, folks can just play the longer 10 minute version instead. Perfect, right?

Boris Johnson today criticised schools for turning out youngsters who are not prepared to work as hard as immigrants.
London's Mayor said the reason most catering jobs went to people from overseas was because migrants offered better service as well as lower costs.
"There isn't some fixed 'lump of labour' that means these jobs would otherwise be done by native Britons," he wrote in the Daily Telegraph.
Mr Johnson said schools had improved but a quarter still left primary school unable to read or write properly. "No wonder they will lose out in the jobs market to industrious people from Eastern Europe who can take down a telephone message correctly."
He insisted most migrants came to London to work rather than pocket benefits — and denounced the notion that they pushed up unemployment. "It is economically illiterate to blame Eastern Europeans for getting up early and working hard and being polite and helpful," he wrote.
Meanwhile, Westminster City Council said it had exposed a gang of 50 Iraqis who faked mental illness using drugs in order to claim benefits. "These men went to extreme lengths to commit benefits fraud," said Lindsey Hall, the council's anti-fraud czar.

Changing from shrubs to parking pad
Hello all,
I am glad to be on here and hopefully I can contribute to the forums at some point in time...
Here's my challenge/dilemma: We have an landscape area that has some plants, bushes/shrubs that I want to convert into a parking area for our newly acquired 1977 Wilderness 21-foot camper...The ground is very solid there and is braced on the interior part of the yard by squared 6x6 PT boards (timbers might be a better word--they are heavy!)...The area is approximately 12' wide by 10' long...The ground is very solid...I need to extend the length of this area another 12' in order to keep the camper off of the sidewalk...I would like to just add on to the end of the 6x6 timbers. Is there a recommended fill (dirt only or dirt and "junk" mixed) that should be used? I would then cover the parking area with 2b stone or something along those lines...Thanks for your help in advance! Doug

IPEX 2002 -- Accent on the Positive
Having also announced a planned merger at PRINT, Barco Graphics and Purup-Eskofot chose IPEX as the venue to unveil the combined company's new corporate identity: Esko-Graphics. The new entity's headquarters will be in Gent, Belgium, it was revealed, but exactly how the organization's two U.S. operations will be integrated has not been finalized.
Lastra SpA announced that its Brookfield, CT-based subsidiary, Lastra America, acquired Western Lithotech from Mitsubishi Chemical. Roberto Ziletti, president of Lastra SpA, commented that, "Western's plate product line complements our current offerings and the equipment business presents us with an opportunity to expand our analog prepress business into the area of CTP."
Even More Mergers
As an extension of its acquisition of Xeikon NV's digital color printing operations, Punch International NV of Belgium reported it had acquired the activities of Xeikon America. In a related move, Koonras Technologies Ltd. acquired the black-and-white magnetography printing operations of Xeikon, which will again be known by the Nipson name.
Flint Ink announced a "combination merger and acquisition agreement" with German ink manufacturer Gebrüder Schmidt GmbH. Flint reportedly is acquiring Gebrüder Schmidt's Canadian operations, while the two companies' European operations are to be merged.
Getting back to the product trends, the best way to describe developments in the pressroom is as being evolutionary, not revolutionary. Koenig & Bauer Group, however, did introduce a B3-format sheetfed press with a distinct V-shaped unit design around a central impression cylinder.
MAN Roland unveiled what it said was dramatic new styling across its press lines, including sheetfed, commercial web, newspaper and digital products. The company claims the impact is more than skin deep, noting that one element of the redesign "is a sparkling-green accent color whose role is to indicate interrelationships of systems, as well as to facilitate operation by its signal effect."
The product introductions in the computer-to-plate arena represented a mixed bag of technologies. Heidelberg added the Topsetter P 74 model to its thermal platesetter line, but also introduced an automated version of the Prosetter 102 violet line. Agfa, one of the biggest proponents of violet imaging, rolled out the Xcalibur 45 external-drum, eight-up thermal platesetter featuring Grating Light Valve (GLV) technology. Screen also plans to use GLV technology, but in the PlateRite Ultima thermal platesetter with twin exposure heads capable of imaging 16- or 32-page plates. Fujifilm, meanwhile, introduced four- and eight-up, violet-imaging versions of its Saber Luxel internal-drum platesetter family.

I had an aftermarket alarm and remote start put on my 09 sierra 5.3 and worked fine for 6 months now when I went to turn the truck on it started then after about 3 seconds cut off. I also noticed the security light stays on solid when the key is in the ignition. Not to mention after a couple of tres to start the truck with my key, it quit working(the key) but the remote start would start the truck for a couple of seconds. Any ideas? Remove the alarm?

About the TRA:
Thoroughbred Racing Associations (TRA) was formed in 1942 when World War II
threatened to force a halt to all racing in the country. Realizing the
Thoroughbred industry needed guidance and a plan to continue some racing to
ensure the continuation of Thoroughbred breeding, Alfred G. Vanderbilt, then
president of Pimlico and Belmont Park, planted the seed to form a commission of
racetracks. The first conference held in Chicago on March 19, 1942, attracted a
who's who of racing at the time, including The Jockey Club chairman William
Woodward, prominent breeder A.B. Hancock, and track presidents Henry Parr III
and Carleton F. Burke, among others. From that seed, the TRA grew. In 2015, the
TRA has 44 member associations conducting racing at 40 racetracks in the United
States and Canada.
Through the years, the TRA has played a leading role in the establishment of
many programs beneficial to the racing industry. In 1946, the Thoroughbred
Racing Protective Bureau, a subsidiary of the TRA, was formed to preserve
integrity and security in racing, and today maintains the most extensive,
private collection of records on individuals and horses as well as tattoo
In 1972, the TRA, in conjunction with the Daily Racing Form and National Turf
Writers Association, established the Eclipse Awards to recognize racing's
national champions.
In 1990, the TRA formed Equibase with The Jockey Club, thereby creating an
industry-owned database of racing information that enabled the unfettered growth
of full-card simulcasting. The more intangible services of the TRA exist within
the unified racetrack voice it provides in regulatory, legislative, and other
industry matters.
At the same time, TRA also led the effort to implement full-card, merged pool
simulcasting. The TRA's 1995 Committee, named after its target date,
demonstrated the benefit and feasibility of merging pools nationally with the
inaugural Breeders' Cup Pick 7 in 1991 as fax machines were utilized to create a
common pool.
A year later, the Breeders' Cup Pick 7 became the first national pool merged
electronically and simulcasting began a phenomenal growth spurt, now accounting
for almost 90% of North American pari-mutuel wagering.
The 1995 Committee was renamed the TRA 2020 Committee as it continues to deal
with evolving technology.
The role and services of the TRA include:
Serving as a strong and unified voice of
the Thoroughbred racetrack operators and
as such should include as many
Thoroughbred tracks as possible,
provided each track adheres to the TRA
Code of Standards and By-Laws.
Placing the maximum emphasis on the
integrity of racing.
Representing the TRA members in the area
of Federal legislation, by sponsoring
and/or performing activities connected
Serving as a clearing house for
information, reports, statistical data,
ideas, promotions, problem areas, etc.
Creating various programs, activities,
ventures, and enterprises related to
Thoroughbred racing.
Maintaining liaison with (a)
organizations and associations
representing other segments of the
Thoroughbred industry, and (b) with
organizations and associations of other
horse breeds.
The TRA annually hosts
the International Simulcast Conference to
keep the industry abreast of technological
advances and other issues regarding
simulcasting. The fall conference attracts
more than 250 attendees each year.
The TRA collects and compiles information of
professional interest to its membership. In
1999, the TRA initiated an electronic
database of industry-related material for
member tracks, which is accessed via the
internet. The private document database
allows member tracks to view, print, and
download economic impact studies,
TRA surveys, federal legislation, and a
variety of other reports.
Finally, the TRA website offers a host of
services, primarily to TRA racetracks, but
also to the industry as a whole. The
website, www.tra‑online.com, currently
provides the following services:
Directory of Simulcast Contacts:
current contact information of simulcast personnel at various racetracks;
Eclipse Awards: a complete record of past and current recipients;
Standardized Uniform Simulcast Contract, including exhibits and schedules: files available for download in various formats for convenience;

Nano regulator build for pressurized CO2 - (shown on a Fluval Edge)
A couple people have asked about the nano regulator I built up for my Fluval Edge. This post details that build as well as some of the info I dug up while figuring out how to do it.
While some of this is specific to the Edge, hopefully it will be helpful for anyone who is considering the ADA CO2 Advance system or another nano system.
The goal of the project was to build a pressurized CO2 system that could fit in the back housing of the Edge, under the HOB filter. Based on my measurements there was at most 7.25 of vertical clearance available (more on this later). A secondary goal was to minimize ongoing CO2 costs given that a cartridge based system is already one of the more expensive ways to get pressured CO2 (vs. refillable canisters). This meant finding something that would work with standard threaded mini cartridges.
It quickly became clear that many of the available nano systems would not work for one reason or another:
Brand / Name / Height / Threading
UP Aqua / Pierce / 9.06 / Distributor did not know thread spec
Hydor / Green NRG / 7.5 / 5/8-18 threads
ADA / CO2 Advance / 8 / Metric threads + proprietary stand-off
The UP Aqua system is too tall and difficult to find in the US, while the ADA system has proprietary threads which restrict you to their cartridges. The Hydor looked too tall originally, but I discovered later that by locating the CO2 rig carefully within the rear housing of the Edge (way off to the left or right) there may be another 0.5 to play with. On the other hand, the Hydor system cost is still relatively high ($110-130) and has no pressure gauge, solenoid, etc. But this might be a prepackaged alternative that would work for the Edge.
One clarification before we move on to the build the reason why I was focused on a regulator with standard threading is standard cartridges are 40-60% cheaper than the ADA or Hydor cartridges:
Source (Size) - Cost per cartridge - Cost per gram of CO2
ADA (74g) - $14 - 18.9c
Hydor (74g) - $17.50 - 23.7c
Williams Brewing (45g) - $3.50 (1) - 7.8c (59% cheaper than ADA refill)
Midwest Supplies (74g) - $8.48 (2) - 11.5c (39% cheaper than ADA)
(1) $3.50 / each if you buy 8 or more, $5.90 /each for lower quantities
(2) $16.95 for a 2-pack, $8.95 individually
If these canisters generally last 1-2 months, this is potentially $44 / year savings if you can use the Midwest 74g cartridge.
I was able to get the bulk of the parts from 2 sources: Midwest Supplies and Clippard. One annoyance about Clippard is they charge you a $10 handling fee so it may make sense to go through a local distributor if there is one nearby. Also, if you need a power supply for the solenoid and / or connectors you may also have to make a trip to Radio Shack (I had some stuff lying around that I could scavenge).
Parts list:
Putting this together is relatively straightforward, but Id break it into two steps: screwing together the fittings and wiring the solenoid.
Regulator parts assemble per the picture above. I used Oatey Great White Pipe Joint Compound with PTFE from Home Depot to seal the connections (an alternative is RectorSeal T Plus 2) and a range of English sockets was helpful in getting the pieces tightly screwed together. Use the pipe dope sparingly (see detail pic below) you dont want it getting inside the fittings.
I found it easiest to start with the regulator and the 1/8 NPT to 10-32 adapter. This way, you have something weighty and meaty to grasp while tightening all these tiny fittings. Note there may already be a fitting on the regulator that needs to be removed first. Also note that is not my hand in the picture below, my kid was "helping" out.
One last note is make sure you have the in/out markings on the solenoid oriented correctly. The in should be closest to the regulator.
Worth mentioning that I dont know of any standards for torquing these fittings, so I went hand tight using the smallest wrench I had. Regardless, you can test for leaks by putting a drop of dishwashing soap in a jar of water and painting this solution on the connections between the fittings with a brush. Do this while the regulator valve is open but the solenoid is closed. If there is bubbling at any joint you have a leak and you should disassemble / reassemble with more pipe dope and / or tighter torquing on the fittings.
Now, time to wire the solenoid. You can choose as I did to add a quick disconnect plug or just splice the 2 solenoid leads to the wall wart. There is no polarity to the solenoid so you can wire either lead to the + of the wall wart.
Caveats: in retrospect the Clippard needle valve is not the best solution for a Nano application as it doesnt offer very fine control which becomes more critical when trying to achieve a very low bubble per minute count. This is mentioned by Rex Grigg at his site but I figured Id buy the valve anyway since I was already getting a bunch of stuff from Clippard. Ill probably insert a Swagelok that I bought a while back on the S&S downstream from the assembled regulator but were I to do it again, Id just attach the 10-32 male to 1/8 hose barb fitting to the female outlet on the solenoid, then run tubing to a better needle valve. A check valve can be placed in-line between the needle valve and the bubble counter.
Finished product (note the actual assembled height is smaller, the CO2 cart was not screwed in all the way in this pic):
Hope this is useful to folks I'll post another section of how to fit this into the Fluval Edge shortly.
Great thread. I'm following this with great interest since I'm possibly doing something similar soon. Thanks for posting this.
I'd love to see the unit fitted in the Edge.
Thats awesome! Its too bad you couldn't make something like this to work with a paintball tank. They're so cheap to buy and cheap to fill!
I like to think there is an option to reuse this in a bigger setup down the road if it comes to that, but again don't have access to a cannister to confirm it.
How much was the Leland regulator?
Part II: Fitting the Nano CO2 setup into the Fluval Edge
I originally thought I would need to get a new HOB filter for the Edge because of clearance issues. The pic below shows the HOB filter for the Edge, hung in its stock placement, but without the plastic column that conceals the filter. You can see that the total height of the CO2 tank + regulator is just taller than the space available under the AC20 HOB filter.
However, playing around with the space I figured out a way to make it work.
The CO2 setup will just fit under the right edge of the HOB filter if you place it all the way against the right wall in the back housing of the Edge and place the HOB filter as far to the left as it will slide. However, you have to cut a notch in the cylinder stand to get the setup to fully snug up against the side wall because of a stiffening rib in the base. This probably sounds pretty confusing but hopefully the pics below make it clearer.
This picture shows where in the base of the CO2 cylinder should sit (what you're looking at is the rear section of the plinth that the tank sits on from above the tank). Note there is a notch you need to cut in the plastic cylinder base, highlighted by the arrow. Also note that the cylinder base has 2 flat sides and you want one of those sides to go against the wall.
Detail pic of the notch. The plastic is really soft and cuts easily with an Exacto type knife.
This is what the final positioning looks from the top.
Hope this was helpful for others on the forum.
Next up...injecting CO2 into the AC20 HOB filter.
this is awesome, good job!
I really like my 1L Jello co2 though :-)

Florida-based PetroAlgae is preparing for its initial public offering (IPO) as the company announced today its S-1 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
The number of shares to be offered and the price range for the offering have not been announced but according to the filing, PetroAlgae hopes to get a maximum of $200m from the IPO.
Looking at their financial statement, the company does not incur any significant history of revenues, operating or net income, and cash flows to date given that PetroAlgae's business is still at a development stage. As of March 31, 2010, the company had an aggregate accumulated deficit of $67.2 million and said in the filing that they anticipate to continue to report losses and negative cash flow.
"We expect to derive substantially all of our revenue during our next year of operation from a small number of contracts that we will enter into prior to the consummation of this offering." – PetroAlgae
PetroAlgae expects its main source of revenue to come in the form of licensing fees and royalties from customer licensees. The company licenses its commercial micro-crop algae technology system for food and fuel. Last month, PetroAlgae announced a potential licensing deal with Korean cleantech developer Eco-Frontier for production of up to 850,000 tons of biocrude over a three-year period beginning 2012.
In April, PetroAlgae announced a deal with Asesorias e Inversiones Quilicura (AIQ) of Chile to develop a micro-crop technology system for the large-scale production of green gasoline, diesel and jet fuel in the country.
To date, they have signed MOUs with five prospective customer licensees representing up to 18 license units. The company said it has yet to construct their technology on a commercial scale.
Over the past 4 years, PetroAlgae have spent $35.1 million on R&D for algae growth and harvesting technologies. The company's 2009 R&D expenses was at $15.1 million.
PetroAlgae is currently trading their common stock on the OTB Bulletin Board ("PALG") at $19.99/share as of August 10. The green blogger is not really good with financials so feel free to analyze them yourselves! =)

Date of Stay: July, 2011
We love this campground. The spots are good size with plenty of room for tow vehicle and trailer. No shade or trees, but who needs that when your on the beach. The sites are ocean front with full hook-ups. It's very difficult to get reservations but well worth the effort. I would camp here again and again.
Date of Stay: July, 2011
The spots are small and very few parking spots are available outside of your spot. We have a dually truck and even though our trailer is not very big, we had a hard time putting both of them on our site. The spots have either full hook-ups or partial. This park has great ocean views but the staff is not friendly. Our daughter visited us and was even at our site long enough to say hello, when the park patrol came over and told her to pay $10.00. The view might be good but I would not stay there again.

[1]The very first Chevrolet 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible has sold for more than $1 million.
The car — the first actual production model — was sold at the Barrett-Jackson auction in Palm Beach, Fla., the Los Angeles Times reports[2].
The buyer was auto dealer and NASCAR team owner Rick Hendrick. He earlier paid $1.1 million for the coupe version of the vehicle.
Hendrick will be waiting for delivery on both, however. Production of both versions of the car doesn't start until late this summer.
Proceeds from the latest sale will benefit the Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Center in Detroit.

Very pleasurable place, close to Gare du Nord from that you can go to Ghent or Brugge. Friendly host. Clean and cosy room. Thanks.
Very nice flat, everything was in proper conditions in the house.
I can recomend the house to everbody who is interested to have some nice days close to the capital of Belgium.
Contact with Damien have been very good at each time.
Thank you!
We are a family with 3 children (from 5 to 9 years old) and enjoyed our time in Bruxelles very much. The place is worth visiting, also with children. Definitely it was the right choice to stay in this house (Rue Charles Lechat 17). Inside we found everything we need, quiet rooms in a quiet neighborhood, with terrace and even a small garden. Metro 5 in walking distance. The owner and his family are very friendly. We really can recommend this place to other families.
The apartment was beautiful and provided very well: we had everything we needed. The rooms were clean and tidied up.
Damien and the house-community were very kind, helpful and polite.
We enjoyed our time in Brussels very much: the flat was a great place to stay and to come back to relax. We recommend it!
It was a very nice stay at the appartment, everything was there and ready to use. Thanks to that I will never rent a hotel again, because renting appartments like these makes a stay in another city just more and more beautiful. Thanks a lot for this beautiful time.
This accomodation served us perfectly. (2 parents with 4 children) It is located on walking distance from the Metro station Hankar, so no need to use a car in the city centre. The neighbourhood is very friendly and quiet and near the beautiful Parc de Woluwe. The house is very clean. There are four bedrooms and three double beds and a single bed. The third and fourth bedroom to be reached through the second. The price/quality rate is fine. We were welcomed very friendly.
Very good apartment for family vacation!
You will find fully equipped kitchen, a lot of space and two convenient separate bedrooms.
Apartment is located in a clean and quite area, close to metro station (10 minutes walk).
Thank you for perfect stay!
Perfect! This place is so nice, clean, fully equipped and owned by friendly and helpful people it gets all my recommendations.
My parents enjoyed their stay very much. A very big and comfortable appartment. Very clean and fresh. Around 10-15 min walk too tram and around 8-10 to the metro that takes you too centrum quick, a very easy road to walk. The host is very nice and it was a really good play too stay! If my parents or anyone else I know is going too visit Brussels I'd recommend this apparment. Thanks a lot!

'Rights of Nature' pushed in UN
NEW YORK, United States — Humans have rights and so does nature, environmentalists said Tuesday as the UN General Assembly planned a meeting to uphold the ''Rights of Nature'' one year after the BP oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico.
The 192-nation assembly was to meet Wednesday in commemoration of Earth Day. Wednesday is also the first anniversary of the explosion on the Deepwater Horizon oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico that led to the months-long BP oil spill that devastated the Gulf's marine life as well as the livelihoods of inhabitants in the region.
Environmental organizations like the Council of Canadians, Global Exchange, and the Fundacion Pachamama have called for the UN to adopt a Universal Declaration of the Rights of Mother Earth.
''Today's environmental laws place commerce above nature, and in so doing they legalize harm to ecosystems,'' said Shannon Biggs, director of the non-governmental organization Global Exchange.
''We see communities across the world, including in the United States, taking action to change this model in recognition of the Rights of Nature and to protect our environment, our communities and our future. This week's dialogue at the UN recognizes the Rights of Nature at another, important level.''
It was also an occasion for environmental groups to advance their agenda defending nature and cite progress made so far.
Countries like Bolivia and Ecuador, and some US cities, have already adopted legislations, to protect nature against damage caused by commercial exploitation, advocates noted.
The assembly meeting called for discussion on new international standards that allow rights to nature and the ecosystems against individual and business exploitation.
Maude Barlow, a UN adviser on water and chair of the Council of Canadians, said, ''The case for acknowledging the Rights of Nature cannot be understated.''
Barlow said a declaration of the Rights of Mother Earth could be the equivalent to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights for people around the world.
The environmentalists backed the case at the UN by citing countries that have erected laws to defend nature.
Ecuador became the first country in the world in 2008 to amend its constitution to include a clause in favour of nature ''to exist, flourish and evolve.''
The US city of Pittsburgh upheld the rights of communities and nature over those of corporations with an ordinance in 2010 banning the practice of shale fracking to extract energy within city limits.
Other US cities have also passed similar ordinances to protect local ecosystems.
In Canada, pro-earth movements are trying to demand legal rights for nature to stop the privatization of public water systems and halt tar sands extraction in Alberta.

- Publisher's Summary
- R is an Open Source implementation of the well-known S language. It works on multiple computing platforms and can be freely downloaded. R is thus ideally suited for teaching at many levels as well as for practical data analysis and methodological development. This book provides an elementary-level introduction to R, targeting both non-statistician scientists in various fields and students of statistics. The main mode of presentation is via code examples with liberal commenting of the code and the output, from the computational as well as the statistical viewpoint.Brief sections introduce the statistical methods before they are used. A supplementary R package can be downloaded and contains the data sets. All examples are directly runnable and all graphics in the text are generated from the examples. The statistical methodology covered includes statistical standard distributions, one- and two-sample tests with continuous data, regression analysis, one and two-way analysis of variance, regression analysis, analysis of tabular data, and sample size calculations. In addition, the last four chapters contain introductions to multiple linear regression analysis, linear models in general, logistic regression, and survival analysis.

National Dem blog slams Minnick
The Daily Kos, a national Democratic liberal/progressive blog, slammed Idaho Democratic Congressman Walt Minnick over the weekend for his latest campaign commercial, which targets GOP challenger Raul Labrador over immigration. "Minnick is up 20 in the polls, while his opponent is broke and has zero institutional support (he's a teabagger who beat the establishment's choice)," Kos writes. "It's a done race, yet Minnick decides to be a bigot anyway by attacking his opponent's work as an immigration lawyer. Not only is this gratuitous, but it hurts his state's small but growing Democratic Party."
Kos concludes his post with an epithet, after writing, "Minnick has decided, for no obvious reason, to run a hateful campaign."

Joey Travolta, older brother of actor John Travolta, will open a vocational film school for the developmentally disabled in Sacramento this September. He has already set up workshops in Burbank, Livermore and Bakersfield.
In Sacramento, Inclusion Films will offer 20-week courses to adults with developmental disabilities that will teach entry-level film and media production skills.
"We've been working with Inclusion Films for several years on our summer film camps and have seen a tremendous impact on participants year after year," Will Sanford, the executive director of Futures Explored, said in statement. He was referring to the annual two-week camps held at Saint Mary's College in Moraga.
In the hands-on studio environment, students will work as a team with industry professionals to produce two short films, which could be entertainment, documentary, public service announcement, or a commercial.
The course will also include instruction in graphic design, advertising and sales. The workshop may be repeated up to four times by approved students.
The project aims to provide the practical skills to contribute to a production team, and help students "become employed, independent, and well-rounded individuals."
Travolta got his degree in special education and was a special needs teacher before going into show business as a singer in 1978. He launched his acting career in 1979 before going on to become a director, writer and producer.
In addition to opening permanent studio workshops in California, Travolta travels the country with his production crew to offer summer camps to special needs kids.
Inclusion Films has also partnered with the non-profit HEAL and Jacksonville-based Filmlab Productions, to create the annual HEAL Film Camp, which offers a two-week studio workshop for special needs children ages 10-17, most of whom have autism.
Livermore Film Commission Director Jeanie Haigh brings a background in recreational programming and a film-lover's fascination to her 24-7 position.
"I'm part-time, but all the time," she laughed. "They can call me anytime and that's big for film production people.

News Release Article from
Archived - PSC urges targeted hiring in a period of no growth
Archived Content

OTTAWA, Ont. – October 25, 2011 – The 2010-2011 Annual Report of the Public Service Commission (PSC), as well as 11 audit reports and the Report on the Agreement on the Follow-up to the Audit of the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada, was tabled today in Parliament.
The PSC reported that in 2010-2011 the number of individuals in organizations under the Public Service Employment Act remained practically unchanged from the previous year. Fewer hiring and staffing activities took place than in each of the four previous years. Related reductions were seen in employee mobility and the hiring of new employees.
According to Maria Barrados, President of the PSC, "As the government enters a period of fiscal restraint, there will be increased pressure to ensure that core and guiding values are respected in each appointment process." Mrs. Barrados added, "The role played by the PSC in providing independent assurance of the integrity of the staffing system will continue to be very important. Targeted hiring will be essential to ensure succession in the public service. The PSC will also need to make sure that the priority administration system is sound. Managers will need to ensure better planning and proper use of the permanent and contingent workforces."
Based on its oversight activities for 2010-2011, the PSC has concluded that, overall, merit is being respected in the staffing system. Of the 11 organizations audited in 2010-2011, the PSC has placed additional conditions only on the delegation of staffing authorities at the Office of the Commissioner of Official Languages. The Commissioner has provided an action plan that outlines how the Office will respond to the audit recommendations, and will provide semi-annual reports on how the plan has been implemented.
The PSC's audits show that managers are doing a better job of applying merit, and organizational performance in the management of staffing continues to improve. However, a number of issues identified in last year's audits persist, including inadequate quality control of appointment processes, lack of appropriate assessment and documentation of merit, and poor rationales for non-advertised appointment processes.
With respect to non-partisanship, a small proportion of public servants are politically active. In 2010-2011, the PSC received 94 political candidacy requests from public servants. Effort is still required to ensure that public servants are well informed about their rights and responsibilities with regard to political activities.
In addition, Maria Barrados stated, "The PSC is concerned that a quarter of employees perceive that the staffing process is not fair. We are also preoccupied about the continued low rate of external appointments for persons with disabilities, which can have negative consequences for their representation in the public service over the long term."
The PSC is an independent agency reporting to Parliament. Its mandate is to safeguard the integrity of the public service staffing system and the non-partisanship of the public service. In addition, the PSC recruits qualified Canadians from across the country.
The PSC also released the Analysis of 2009-2010 and 2010-2011 Audit Results: Consideration of priority persons in the public service and the History of Employment Equity in the Public Service and the Public Service Commission of Canada. The reports tabled and released today can be found on the PSC Web site at www.psc-cfp.gc.ca.

My kitty will only play with leaves and doesn't like treats?
My 7 mo old kitten will only play with leaves and doesn't like treats of any kind. I adopted her about three weeks ago and got her all these toys, plush, wand, bell ball, two scratching posts, but she ignores them all and begs to go on the porch to pick out her leaf which she then shreds all over my house. Winter is coming and then she won't have any leaves! Also she won't eat treats. I've tried giving her cat treats, cat nip, carrots, and plain raw chicken or broth, and she won't touch it. Beyond a nice rub down and sweet words, I have no way to reward her during training or after a bath or other challenging experience. How do I get her interested in toys and treats?

- Cast your vote for which answer you think is best!
If your kitten is trainable, stop the leaves and eventually she will forget about them. For safety you should not be letting her outside if there's a chance that she can bolt. Try a motorized laser light toy, wind-up mouse or the cat's meow. My cat's favorite toys have been used and chewed up band-aids (yum) and milk carton caps. In the future, spend time in the 99 cent toy section and see what she likes best; expensive is not necessarily what your kitten will prefer. A rolled up wad of paper could be her ideal toy. After age 6 months, you can try Greenies treats, in flavors like fish and poultry mixes and catnip. Finally, don't tempt kitty with people food. You should be happy that she wouldn't eat what you offered because there is little nutritional value in cooked human food for felines. You should not be bathing a cat regularly except for shows... they are not dogs and you will dry out her natural skin oils. Happy Howli-days ^_^

Alistair Overeem and Masato Heading to K-1' s Open Tryouts Featured
- Written by Dave Walsh
- font size decrease font size increase font size
When looking back at the collapse of FEG, one figure stood out in the United States when it came to publicly speaking about the problems with K-1/FEG, and that was Alistair Overeem. Alistair, the 2010 K-1 World Grand Prix Champion, had very publicly stated on numerous occasions that he was still owed a large sum of money by K-1. For him, working for the UFC meant job security and not having to worry about those past follies, and he had been heard talking about never wanting to work with companies like K-1 again. So for K-1 to announce that Alistair Overeem, one of the top Heavyweights in the UFC, will be in attendance for the K-1 Open Tryouts in Los Angeles, it is a big deal.
Think of it as a show of faith and letting sleeping dogs rest for K-1, as Alistair Overeem was a very vocal critic but still believes in the brand and the sport, and is willing to make a public showing like this with them. That is a big deal.
K-1 Open Tryouts are July 19 at Muscle Beach - FREE and OPEN to the Public
Los Angeles, CA - With close to 200 men from all over the world pre-registered for the K-1 Open Tryouts, K-1 has reached out to two of its former champions, Alistair Overeem, World Grand Prix Champion and Masato, two-time MAX Champion, to help evaluate and scout all the Hopefuls trying out next week Thursday for a chance to fight in the K-1 organization. Overeem and Masato will head to Muscle Beach on July 19 to alternate as judges during the tryouts, and also will pose for photos with the athletes and fans in attendance. Overeem and Masato join fighting legends Tyrone Spong, Dewey Cooper, Mighty Mo and Rick Roufus who were already scheduled to attend. The K-1 Open Tryouts are FREE and OPEN to the public. With only one week left until the tryouts, Hopefuls should confirm their participation by pre-registering through the K-1 FACEBOOK page at: http://www.facebook.com/K1GlobalTV.ENG. "We are thrilled that Alistair Overeem and Masato are coming to the K-1 Open Tryouts next Thursday at Muscle Beach," said Doug Kaplan, Chief Executive Officer, K-1. "I have asked Alistair and Masato to join Tyrone Spong, Dewey Cooper, Rick Roufus and Mighty Mo to come out to LA and help K-1 find the next great breed of fighters and world champions."
Overeem, 6'5" and 265 lbs, is the last man to hold rank as the K-1 World Grand Prix Heavyweight Champion. He holds belts in two fighting sports, mixed martial arts and kickboxing, across three different organizations including Strikeforce, Dream and K-1. In Overeem's last professional fight, he knocked out former UFC Champion Brock Lesnar in the first round.
Masato, who twice held rank as K-1 MAX Champion (2008 and 2003), and runner up of K-1 MAX (2007 and 2004), is one of the biggest stars in kickboxing. He began fighting professionally in 1997 and throughout his record racked up an impressive 55 wins with 25 coming by knockout. Over the years, Masato has appeared in several feature films and in May 2012 was announced as the executive producer for K-1 Global.
About K-1
K-1 is the largest kickboxing promotion in history. Since 1993, K-1 has presented professional live martial arts events in 38 countries featuring the best and most accomplished athletes in the sport.
World Grand Prix Champions of K-1 include Alistair Overeem, Mark Hunt, Ernesto Hoost, Peter Aerts, Remy Bonjasky and Semmy Schilt. K-1 has held broadcast deals with ESPN and HDNet in the United States, Fuji TV in Japan, and numerous other networks across the globe. K-1 returned to the world stage on May 26, 2012 in Madrid, Spain drawing a packed stadium and hundreds of thousands of views on the K-1 Live Stream.

The Women's Soccer Association of New Zealand (WSANZ) has disbanded after becoming part of the national body.
WSANZ has wound up its organisation and will operate under New Zealand Soccer (NZS) following a meeting in Wellington recently.
Allan McLarin, WSANZ president, said a series of changes within NZS, including the appointment of Michele Cox as director of women's football, justified the decision to support the move.
NZS's board has acknowledged women's soccer as the code's main priority over the next three years, with the initial focus on next year's Fifa under-20 World Cup in Russia.

The lack of incoming cashstream is very short term and not a total stoppage– my day jobs are in education, so there's a natural lull in the summer. I'm thinking of it as an opportunity to get some work done on some stuff, specifically my site re-launch and 50 Books for Problematic Times (which is still accepting submissions!), both of which begin on August 1. Once this week is over, I plan on discussing some issues that I have not really explored here yet, and which are clearly in need of analysis.
I want to address Sunday's post on Ms. Magazine's cover, which generated some conversations here, on Twitter, and in the Womanist Musings cross post. I want to thank everyone who stopped by and shared their ideas. I hope you'll stick around!
In further consideration of that post, I'd like to say a couple of problematic things about the post and my blog as a whole:
- It was problematic for a white woman to criticize a WOC's handling of an issue of race.
- It was problematic for a childless woman to police the voices of mothers on an issue of motherhood.
The idea that I could have these attitudes was a jolt for me, because my mother is a major part of my feminism and I plan on having children in the not-super-distant future. I think a great deal about my future methods of parenting, my fertility, and the future of my life with my partner. Not wanting to acknowledge my privilege or missteps to myself, I became defensive when I was called on that in the comments, and I apologize.
Pregnancy and fertility and reproductive rights are a major part of my feminism, but I haven't done any reciprocal thinking about other side of choice: motherhood. I don't really have a lot more to say on this issue right this second. But I wanted to let you know that I'm owning my privilege and thinking about stuff carefully and critically.
Thanks for reading.

Anne of Green Gables HTML version
XXII. Anne is Invited Out to Tea
"And what are your eyes popping out of your head about. Now?" asked Marilla, when
Anne had just come in from a run to the post office. "Have you discovered another
kindred spirit?" Excitement hung around Anne like a garment, shone in her eyes,
kindled in every feature. She had come dancing up the lane, like a wind-blown sprite,
through the mellow sunshine and lazy shadows of the August evening.
"No, Marilla, but oh, what do you think? I am invited to tea at the manse tomorrow
afternoon! Mrs. Allan left the letter for me at the post office. Just look at it, Marilla. `Miss
Anne Shirley, Green Gables.' That is the first time I was ever called `Miss.' Such a thrill
as it gave me! I shall cherish it forever among my choicest treasures."
"Mrs. Allan told me she meant to have all the members of her Sunday-school class to
tea in turn," said Marilla, regarding the wonderful event very coolly. "You needn't get in
such a fever over it. Do learn to take things calmly, child."
For Anne to take things calmly would have been to change her nature. All "spirit and fire
and dew," as she was, the pleasures and pains of life came to her with trebled intensity.
Marilla felt this and was vaguely troubled over it, realizing that the ups and downs of
existence would probably bear hardly on this impulsive soul and not sufficiently
understanding that the equally great capacity for delight might more than compensate.
Therefore Marilla conceived it to be her duty to drill Anne into a tranquil uniformity of
disposition as impossible and alien to her as to a dancing sunbeam in one of the brook
shallows. She did not make much headway, as she sorrowfully admitted to herself. The
downfall of some dear hope or plan plunged Anne into "deeps of affliction." The
fulfillment thereof exalted her to dizzy realms of delight. Marilla had almost begun to
despair of ever fashioning this waif of the world into her model little girl of demure
manners and prim deportment. Neither would she have believed that she really liked
Anne much better as she was.
Anne went to bed that night speechless with misery because Matthew had said the wind
was round northeast and he feared it would be a rainy day tomorrow. The rustle of the
poplar leaves about the house worried her, it sounded so like pattering raindrops, and
the full, faraway roar of the gulf, to which she listened delightedly at other times, loving
its strange, sonorous, haunting rhythm, now seemed like a prophecy of storm and
disaster to a small maiden who particularly wanted a fine day. Anne thought that the
morning would never come.
But all things have an end, even nights before the day on which you are invited to take
tea at the manse. The morning, in spite of Matthew's predictions, was fine and Anne's
spirits soared to their highest. "Oh, Marilla, there is something in me today that makes
me just love everybody I see," she exclaimed as she washed the breakfast dishes. "You
don't know how good I feel! Wouldn't it be nice if it could last? I believe I could be a

Aftermarket Headlight Assemblies for ZJ's
I see tons of the WJ owners have upgraded to Halo/Projector headlights, etc.
Anyone done their ZJ, I know there is an E-Code headlight assembly available which has a much better light pattern, etc etc. Anyone able to snap me a pic of how they actually look installed. Or any of the other aftermarket headlight assemblies on their ZJ. V-Leds has a bunch but their website gives no information on how "plug & play" their lights are & whats involved with the wiring, or what comes with their kit (bulbs, etc) So if you've done one on the ZJ, I would love to ask a bunch of questions, and would love to see a pic of the finished product.. I'm having a hard time picturing an aftermarket setup on my ZJ, but am very much looking to upgrade my lighting as the stock housings & beam pattern leaves much to be desired.
Re: Aftermarket Headlight Assemblies for ZJ's
You can email Nick email@example.com I think he maybe able to help you out!
Re: Aftermarket Headlight Assemblies for ZJ's
Yep, Nick has got together the e-code ones in a package. I may go with a set. apparantly the light pattern is really good and has a defined cutoff so i wont be blinding oncoming traffic.
Re: Aftermarket Headlight Assemblies for ZJ's
You got it! I'd prefer those than putting HID's in the normal Headlights.

Needless to say, New York Giants wide receiver Domenik Hixon has had a rough go of it over the last two seasons. Not only has he torn his ACL twice in as many years, but the emergence of Victor Cruz, along with the addition of Rueben Randle got many thinking that Hixon's days with Big Blue could be numbered. However, today, offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride announced that for the second consecutive season, Hixon would be the team's number three wide receiver heading into week one.
While Hixon will ultimately see the majority of the snaps on the outside opposite Hakeem Nicks, the team will still allow Jerrel Jernigan and Ramses Barden some playing time. In short, the competition for playing time at wide receiver will be ongoing throughout the 2012 campaign. However, for now, fans should be ready to see what Domenik Hixon has left in the tank after missing the vast majority of the last two seasons.
"I feel extremely blessed and fortunate and just thank God for being able to come back from what I personally came back from to be on the defending champs," Hixon said. "It's tough. We had a lot of competition out here and everyday we're getting better. We're still trying to get better a wideout."
The key to Domenik Hixon's success this season will be whether he still possesses the break away speed that we have seen from him in the past. While his advanced knowledge of the offense will undoubtedly play a factor in his overall performance, it's important to note that Hixon is replacing Mario Manningham, a guy who was always able to stretch a defense. While Manningham did not always produce consistency, opposing defenses always had to account for his ability to make plays down the field. If Hixon can fill a similar role in 2012, the Giants offense should see continued success.
The good news for the Giants is that Hixon has displayed no signs that his previous knee injuries will limit his physical ability this season. With that, his work ethic will be an invaluable example to a painfully young wide receiver core. Offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride expresses these same thoughts.
"He's a consummate pro," Gilbride said of Hixon. "He's always going to know exactly what to do. He's always going to be technically very, very sound. He's very dependable. You can trust that he can do the right thing and right now there's no evidence that there's any residual limitations because of his injuries. Anything we've seen is a very positive."
Domenik Hixon is more than a feel good story. It's unbelievable that after suffering two devastating knee injuries, that he will be able to come back and contribute to the defending Super Bowl champions. However, he is going to be relied upon to play a major role this season.
The time for patting him on the back is soon to be over, and the team is going to need him to be a viable option on offense. Hixon has shown no signs that he won't be able to be effective, the only question is whether he will remain healthy. Hopefully we see him have a break out campaign in 2012, because nobody deserves it more than him.

Hong Kong, Feb 22: Morgan Stanley has agreed with JM Financial to end their Indian partnership as the US firm expands in one of Asia's fastest-growing markets for investment banks.
Under the agreement, announced on Thursday, the US investment bank would acquire the joint venture's institutional equities sales, trading and research platform for 5 million.
JM Financial would acquire the investment banking, fixed income and retail operations for million, resulting in a net consideration of 5 million to be paid by Morgan Stanley.
''Morgan Stanley will expand its wholesale businesses and develop a platform in India that is fully integrated with its global footprint,'' the investment bank said in a statement.
Morgan Stanley has plans to increase its Asian global capital markets staff by up to 25 percent with fast-expanding economies like China and India becoming hot markets for investment banks.
Investment bank revenues in India jumped 23 percent in 2006 to 3 million as companies raised record funds and bought other firms. Fees more than doubled in 2006.
Morgan Stanley India said it would combine its existing wholly-owned businesses, including Morgan Stanley Investment Management and Morgan Stanley Real Estate, alongside the institutional equities business.
It would also roll out its own investment banking, capital markets, fixed income and private wealth management operations.
