Is the Government too cocky by half? The National Party had a great election result in 2011, but with a one seat majority to support its key policies, as well as a bumbling start to 2012, John Hartevelt asks if ministers are full of 'misguided bravado' - see: Opposition met by Government swagger. Hartevelt concludes that even if their confidence is misplaced it does enable them to keep moving forward with the reforms.
In Welfare carrots and sticks, Jane Clifton looks at the minefield politicians tread when they are seen to make judgements about mothers choosing or being forced to take up work when they have young children. She also looks at David Shearer's refusal to play politics, labeling it 'Oppositional Compliant Disorder' as opposed to the usual 'Oppositional Defiant Disorder'.
Ex-Labour minister Steve Maharey has some advice for the Government. Although he tries to stay clear of critiquing their welfare policy, he can't stop himself trumpeting the success the previous Labour government had in reducing the number of beneficiaries - see: Steve Maharey's Out with old and in with new not the best policy.
His questioning of why the policy needed to be changed at all ignores the obvious point that other critics of the welfare reforms have made, namely reducing welfare expenditure is easy when there are plenty of jobs but a lot harder when times are tough.
The Government's own job-shedding programme continues, although with the defence forces it seems they may have been too successful. Derek Cheng reports that defence bosses are calling a halt to the civilianization programme, as it has caused a record low in morale and prompted large numbers of staff to leave of their own accord - see: 'Change fatigue' floors Defence Force staff. There's a big difference of course between selecting staff you could do without and losing highly skilled and trained personnel. Cheng also reports that the Vice Chief of the Defence Force, Rear Admiral Jack Steer, seems to have told a parliamentary select committee about halting the programme before he told Minister of Defence Jonathan Coleman. The minister is reported as saying he thought the changes had 'gone through pretty smoothly overall' - see: TV3's Defence Force changes 'smooth' - government.
Meanwhile the internal battle at Mfat goes on, with the Government trying to stem the flow of leaks - see Vernon Small's Ambassadors told not to cable cutback criticisms - Goff. The level of resistance amongst staff is made starkly obvious when the cables sent by ambassadors to Wellington are no longer seen as secure.
Winston Peters is in classic form at the moment, making numerous claims of conspiracy and corruption - see for example, TVNZ's Yarrows demise caused by 'corporate thugs' - Peters, and Bernard Orsman's Boss denies US trip paid for by Deloitte. This prompts David Farrar - no fan of Peters - to look at the NZ First leader's use and abuse of the protection he has as an MP - see: The protection of parliamentary privilege.
David Slack has a particularly funny and illuminating parody of Peters in the March edition of Metro magazine. His fictional sketch ('New life in the old parrot') has Peters providing advice to the earnest newcomer David Shearer. When Shearer objects that his advice makes no sense, Peters replies, 'It doesn't have to. You just look fierce and say 'disastrous' and 'selling out' and 'traitors'. And if it doesn't work you threaten legal action'. Also in the latest Metro Martyn Bradbury has an open letter to the new Minister of Broadcasting with some relatively intelligent ideas for saving public broadcasting, Steve Braunias has a feature story on the 'strange, troubled life of former Act MP David Garrett' ('Mr Angry'), there's an 'exclusive' interview with @drbrash (the incredibly clever parody of Don Brash on Twitter), Simon Wilson writes a strong editorial on the Ports of Auckland dispute, and most promising of all, Metro has launched a new regular two-page feature called Power, which covers political ups and downs - in this issue it covers the Auckland Plan with specific reference to the port, the fall of Pita Sharples and rise of Hekia Parata.
News that green energy company Windflow has teamed up with an American company that also make nuclear submarines has prompted the Dominion Post to ask Wellington's Green mayor Celia Wade-brown about her ongoing personal ownership of shares in the company - see: Mayor unfazed by link to nuclear submarines. The Green mayor said that she would hold on to the shares as, regardless of what companies associated with Windflow produced, it was encouraging that they used renewable energy. David Farrar points that Windflow has been the 'darling' of the Greens for years and that in the past Green MPs and their superannuation fund may have owned shares - see: Windflow and nuclear. Despite Wade-brown's stance, the parliamentary Greens may have a more difficult position if they continue to own shares, as leader Russel Norman has regularly demanded the New Zealand Super Fund disinvest from companies on ethical grounds.
Leftwing councilor Mike Lee has finally spoken out on the Ports of Auckland dispute, but in doing so says the workers should never have gone on strike (see William Mace's Ex ARC chair 'sick' about port sackings), and David Farrar blogs about The Mayor for all of Auckland, explaining why Len Brown has done the right thing in ignoring calls by the left to side with the port workers. But the must-read item on the ports dispute today is Brian Rudman's Mayor's paralysis in port dispute leaves role of leader vacant.
Other articles worth a look today include Lockwood shows Mojo the money, John Key looks at things ... it's a thing, apparently, Knighthoods and crony capitalism, and Chris Trotter's When the Government is no longer afraid of its people. Finally, Gordon Campbell previews the task ahead of David Shearer as he prepares to make some major announcements. He says that Shearer will still have to confront the role of the state in the economy as, despite three decades of free market policy, the domestic economy has become dominated by former state-owned organisations or near monopolies - see: Shearer faces tricky balancing act.

In Anoka County Thursday night, almost 150 residents of the new city of Nowthen attended a public hearing to have their say on whether the city should raise taxes or trim the police protection it gets from the sheriff.
At the same time, in Edina, five long-time residents gathered around a table and discussed city budget choices, trying to offer suggestions for city leaders. Should enterprises like the city's golf course or ice arena support themselves or get help from the taxpayer, for example?
Next week in Duluth, voters will decide between property taxes and less park and library spending. Elsewhere, cities have surveyed residents online and in the mail to get their opinions. Earlier this year, the League of Minnesota Cities spent months going to about a dozen cities to talk with residents about what they want their communities to do. The League is going back next year.
And, of course, in the next month or so, everybody can get in on the action at truth-in-taxation hearings being held by cities, schools and counties throughout Minnesota.
Communities come to judgment in a variety of ways about how much money to spend and what to spend it on. Some of those ways work better than others.
Twenty years ago, for example, truth-in-taxation hearings were jammed and were a pretty clear way to tell elected officials that people thought taxes were going up too fast. Lately, a lot of those annual hearings have played to empty auditoriums, providing precious little guidance to the leaders trying to set priorities.
That's why the Edina session was interesting. Convinced the truth-in-taxation hearings weren't particularly helpful, Edina this year enlisted the Citizens League to lead three discussions this week that delved into the choices before the city.
A lot of cities would love to have Edina's problems. A main question this fall, for example, is what to do with a one-time $2.5 million excess, partly a result of the success of the city's liquor stores. Should the city use it for property tax relief or speed up spending on some capital projects? More generally, is it more important to avoid property tax increases or maintain quality services and amenities?
For two hours, guided by the Citizens League's Stacy Becker, the five batted these questions back and forth in front of the mayor, city staff and a council member, who were there to provide information but weren't the main event.
At one point an Edina retiree offered up, "I need less bling in my life and more quality of life for everyone."
But even among the few residents last night, you got a glimpse of the difficulty in coming to judgment. Via instant-feedback clickers, the five managed at one point to express the desire that city operations like the golf course and arenas should pay for themselves and in the next minute express at least some opposition to higher fees, selling more ad revenue, selling naming rights and relying on private donations.
Every idea has an enemy, as one official in another city complained to me recently.
Even so, as Mayor James Hovland said afterward, it was a good start on improving how Edina makes its choices.
"We're trying to tap the collective intelligence in the community," said city manager Scott Neal.
Beyond all the immediate decisions about property taxes and street repair and police protection, how to do that is really the most interesting question.
If you want to see this in action, especially if you're in Edina, you can join a webinar Sunday evening. See this for details. And go to our Forced to Choose site for lots of information about communities making choices.


text: 000 FXUS63 KMKX 271431 AFDMKX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan WI 931 AM CDT Sat May 27 2017 .UPDATE... && .MARINE... Visible satellite confirms the lack of fog along the shoreline...or anywhere in the nearshore area this morning. Should be a clear morning with mid/high clouds moving in during the afternoon and evening Rain chances increase overnight with a low end thunderstorm chance across the southern zones after midnight. Southeast winds of 5-10 knots will keep waves around 1 foot. There could also be some patchy fog tonight. && .PREV DISCUSSION... (Issued 736 AM CDT Sat May 27 2017) UPDATE... AVIATION(12Z TAFS)... Ground fog with visibilities down to 1/4 mile at times will quickly dissipate this morning in low lying areas, probably by 14Z or 15Z. Some areas are already fog free, per area web cameras. Area of low ceilings and fog to the west of Madison should move slowly east before mixing out by middle to late morning. Should see scattered diurnal cumulus clouds develop by early afternoon. Light winds will allow for a southeast lake breeze by late morning near Lake Michigan, pushing inland to Burlington, Waukesha and West Bend by late afternoon. Ceilings will push east into the area this evening and gradually lower to below 2000 feet later tonight. Area of showers should push eastward across the area mainly around and after midnight. A few thunderstorms are possible, but left out of TAFs for now due to low confidence. Winds will remain light, with some light fog possible later tonight with the showers. Wood PREV DISCUSSION... (Issued 333 AM CDT Sat May 27 2017) UPDATE... Updated to include aviation and marine section. PREV DISCUSSION... (Issued 327 AM CDT Sat May 27 2017) TODAY AND TONIGHT...Forecast Confidence Is Medium. Areas of ground fog continue across mainly the southern and eastern portions of the forecast area early this morning. The fog intensity should jump around quite a bit until middle morning, varying between light fog and patchy dense fog. Low stratus developing may limit any patchy dense fog. Should see some diurnal cumulus clouds develop during the late morning into the afternoon. Lake breeze developing by the late morning hours will keep lakeshore areas cooler than inland locations. Highs today should be warm inland, with middle 70s expected. Models were showing low pressure system sliding northeast into central or northeast Illinois later tonight. In addition, a lead 500 mb vorticity maximum will push east across the area this evening, with a more defined 500 mb shortwave trough approaching the area later tonight from the west. High resolution mesoscale models were showing a line of convection pushing east across Iowa and weakening as it clips the far southwestern counties around 00Z Sunday. The area will also be in the right rear quadrant of the 250 mb jet streak as well by later tonight. This should help provide enough upward vertical motion and combine with moisture pushing into the region to bring good chances for showers by later tonight. Mesoscale models were developing an area of showers and storms in central or northern Iowa into southeast Minnesota later this evening with a cold front. It then pushes east northeast toward the western counties later tonight. The frontogenesis response is weak to modest with the front. Area forecast soundings tonight show weak mean layer CAPE, perhaps a few hundred J/kg. Thus, kept slight chances for thunder this evening, and just in the south later tonight. Lows tonight should remain relatively mild, in the middle to upper 50s. Sunday...Forecast confidence is medium. Precip will likely continue into the morning on the backside of surface low pressure moving from Illinois to Michigan. Surface winds will be northeast across the far SE part of the state on the backside of the low and winds will be westerly upstream resulting in a frontal boundary. A mid level trough will swing through during the day and the frontal boundary will push through the region as the surface low moves away. There are precip chances with these features and a few hundred J of ML Cape contributes to a chance for thunder as well. A closed low will drop over Lake Superior bringing slightly cooler temperatures compared to Saturday. Memorial Day and Tuesday...Forecast confidence is medium The closed mid level low will drift across Ontario and several waves of vorticity will drop across the region. There are small chances for showers each day. Thunder chances diminish Tuesday as surface temperatures cool and weak warm air advection in the mid levels reduced instability. 850 winds will increase to 25-30 knots and steep low level lapse rates will promote mixing and breezy west winds. Wednesday through Saturday...Forecast confidence is medium. The upper low will slowly move east period as ridging develops over the plains. Surface high pressure moves across the region Wed and Thurs bringing dry weather. The ridge breaks down somewhat as it moves east, but temperatures will still rebound somewhat, with highs around 70. Models differ later in this period and show precip again at various times. AVIATION(06Z TAFS)... Expect ground fog to gradually expand across srn WI during the early morning hours on Sat. Vsbys will be very variable and range from anywhere from light fog to dense fog. The fog should remain shallow and dissipate within 2-4 hours after sunrise. VFR conditions the remainder of the day but good chances of showers and thunderstorms are forecast late Sat nt. Cigs will eventually fall to 1-3 kft early Sun AM. MARINE... Area web cameras and observations were indicating a lack of dense fog over the nearshore waters of Lake Michigan early this morning. In fact, it has been tough to see any fog. Thus, after coordination with neighboring offices will cancel the marine Dense Fog Advisory. Continued to mention areas of fog into the morning, until sunrise can show if there is any extent to any remaining fog. && .MKX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... WI...None. LM...None. && $$ Update...99 Today/Tonight and Aviation/Marine...99 Sunday THROUGH Friday...99


text: http://www.bloggingtheboys.com/2011...t-of-the-week-small-school-big-game#storyjump Now, a year later, he has gifted us with another set of players who come in a step below the under-the-radar guys: the guys from schools so small that we have never heard of them (the schools), with team nicknames that boggle the mind (what is an "Oredigger"? Where might one find such a creature?). Its pretty easy to become a draftnik who can bloviate knowledgeably about the top 100 players in the draft (I should know, this described me with discomfiting accuracy). Lissyyyy, however, distinguishes himself: no draft book features these names; you won't hear these players uttered from between Mike Mayock's lips. No, indeed. This list is the result of cold, hard research. In the comments section, he modestly claims to "just keep my ear to the ground and good ole detective work." I suspect its a bit more laborious and complex than all that. If you doubt this, take a look at some of the names on his list (here) and tell me honestly whether you have ever heard of them: •DE/OLB Keith Darbut •DE/OLB Marc Schiechl •OG/NT Leslie Michael Jasper (who is a biiiig man, BTW) •WR Demario Ballard

Longtime reporter and columnist Robert Novak appeared on Fox's O'Reilly Factor on Tuesday and agreed with host Bill O'Reilly that media bias may not help Barack Obama that much. But that doesn't mean it isn't biased. Novak declared: "I've been covering presidential campaigns since 1960. I have always said I have never seen the media as much entranced by a candidate than when they were in my very first campaign, in 1960, when they were for JFK. But I'm telling you right now, the enchantment with Obama beats the JFK syndrome."
O'Reilly was amazed and mentioned how Novak recounts his early days in his memoir Prince of Darkness. But a bigger infatuation than with JFK?
Novak said "I believe it is. It is just such a feel-good atmosphere of my colleagues, my senior colleagues, people I've known for years. And I get it from some of the young people, too. They just feel this is such a wonderful thing, in the first place to have an African-American candidate, nominee, but also one that makes them feel so wonderful."
O'Reilly conceded that Obama was tremendously charismatic and could have his own TV show, but the he also makes them feel wonderful because they hate Bush and hate conservatives.
Novak replied with some amusement: "And then the other interesting thing about the media is that they have dropped, Bill, they have dropped John McCain like an old girlfriend. I mean, I remember how much -- some of the very same people who really felt that he was something new, something different in the year 2000 when he ran against Bush. They have no use for him now. They say well, he is not the same guy. He is the same guy! He is exactly the same. Same person but it's a different circumstance. He is not running against Bush. He is running against Obama."
O'Reilly suggested Hollywood and the entertainment industry seemed unanimous in their desire to influence the race for Obama:
O'REILLY: You say then that the media's tilt and we put it at about 80% here, toward Obama, not going to help him that much because people really aren't reading The New York Times or the L.A. Times any more. They are not watching the network news any more. But they certainly are going to pick it up as we did in our first segment from people like David Letterman, from MTV, from all of this pop culture stuff which is almost 100 percent on Obama's bandwagon.
NOVAK: The thing that may really benefit Obama, Bill, on this is that if the american people just get a sort of impression that there is something really not very legitimate about McCain and that this is just an opportunity for America to look wonderful in the face of the world. I don't think you can sell Obama on the issues. He doesn't really deal with issues. It's 'this is our time. This is hope. This is change.' But if you can sell the American people in a time when they are mad at gasoline prices and other things, make them feel that this is something good, that makes us feel good in the world, that's something that McCain will have a hard time combatting.

According to the Galveston County Daily News, the flight museum and its exhibits suffered $20 million in damage when Hurricane Ike blew ashore nearly three years ago.
The museum says it looked at every possible option to stay in Galveston, and be protected from another massive storm surge. But officials say there's no substitute for being on higher ground.
The negotiations for the move to Ellington have been in the works for about a year. The newly-christened international airport, which used to be known as Ellington Field, is undergoing a major expansion.
The Houston Airport System told the Daily News that it is not offering the museum any incentives to make the move. If the city council signs off on the lease, it would be at least three years before a move takes place. In the meantime, the museum will operate as usual at Scholes International Airport.

those engines had a pressed on ground electrodes on the plug as well. lots of them get repaired because when the plugs are removed for replacement the pressed on ground comes off the plug and stays in the head. napa has a special tool for getting the electrode out (and there are lots of posts on the net about how to repair that problem), maybe they also have a kit for installing threads that were damaged. either way, always change the plugs on a cold engine or trouble will come looking for you.
grab a mirror or borrow/rent a snake inspection camera and take a look down the hole where the plugs go in (I hear harbour freight has an inexpensive camera, try to get the largest viewing screen you can find). you should be able to see if there are threads left in the head. also, did the ground electrode come along for the ride with the plug, or did it stay in the head? did it pull the threads out for the coil mounts? is the coil damaged? I have changed plugs on a few of these engines and never had a problem yet, but I have had lots of trouble with coils that worked fine when the vehicle came in for plugs, but misfired right after they were removed for plug access. not exactly cheap either. if you install new plugs always use anti sieze compound on the threads.
keep us posted and good luck

Crematoriums are struggling to deal with spiralling numbers of stouter clients as the UK's obesity crisis grows, local government leaders are warning.
The Local Government Association, which represents over 400 councils in England & Wales, is warning that local authorities are finding that many of their crematoria furnaces are too narrow to deal with increasing numbers of over-sized coffins.
To combat the problem, many councils are widening their furnaces, but coffins are also having to be transported to other crematoria that can accommodate them.
Standard coffins range from 16 to 20 inches. However, increasingly coffins anywhere up to 40 inches are being ordered to fit larger bodies. Around 430,000 choose to be cremated in Britain each year.
Lewisham Council has ordered a special cremator from America, measuring 44ins in width. Lewisham's crematorium has taken coffins from as far away as the West Midlands and Gloucester.
A new furnace at Mintlyn Crematorium in Bawsey was recently installed by King's Lynn and West Norfolk Council to accommodate coffins a metre wide. The furnace replacement was part of a £1.2m project to refurbish the crematorium.
Blackburn with Darwen Council takes bodies from all over East Lancashire. Plans have been put in place to install a 42-inch cremator in the next few years to deal with wider coffins. Bodies have been taken to Manchester in the past.
Many of the UK's crematoriums are installing new filtering equipment to comply with new laws to halve mercury emissions by 2012 and are taking the opportunity to widen their furnaces.
Cllr Hazel Harding from the LGA, says: "As long as the nation keeps on piling on the pounds, pressure will continue to be placed on crematoria. This is just another demonstration of how the UK's obesity problem is putting a real strain on public services.
"The death of a loved one is always a difficult time and having to decamp to another area for the cremation just adds to the ordeal. It is important that grieving relatives get the service they deserve and councils are doing what they can to accommodate larger clients locally.
"By upgrading their crematoria and widening furnaces, councils are changing the services people use for the better to make sure that relatives are not put out. As waistlines keep on expanding we can expect more and more councils to provide larger furnaces."
Tim Morris, Chief Executive of the Institute of Cemetery & Crematorium Management said: "The Institute has received calls from funeral directors from all parts of the country whose local crematorium is unable to cremate large coffins. The likelihood is that a large number of facilities will be upgraded to meet these requirements with some taking this opportunity to install a larger cremator at this time.

100 babies born drug dependent in NE Tennessee
SULLIVAN COUNTY, Tenn. - Data from the Tennessee Department of Health shows a startling statistic.
Between January 1 and July 5 of 2014, 100 babies were born in Northeast Tennessee dependent on drugs.
They are called NAS cases, short for Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome.
To date, 463 NAS babies have been born state wide. There were 921 cases reported in 2013. This led the Tennessee General Assembly to pass Public Chapter 820, which allows the prosecution of mothers who give birth to babies dependent on drugs. The mother can be charged with misdemeanor if she illegally uses drugs during pregnancy and the baby is born dependent.
The law is not without its opponents. The Tennessee chapter of the ACLU is currently looking for people to challenge the law.
"This dangerous law unconstitutionally singles out new mothers struggling with addiction for criminal assault charges. By focusing on punishing women rather than promoting healthy pregnancies, the state is only deterring women struggling with alcohol or drug dependency from seeking the pre-natal care they need," said Thomas H. Castelli, legal director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Tennessee.
The Sullivan County Health Department is taking steps to educate pregnant women on the dangers of drug use while carrying a baby.
"We've started some parenting classes in our jail and we're seeing some success. Is it slow, absolutely. Is it working in all cases? Absolutely not, but if we can make a dent and try to start and be aware that we can," says Linda Brittenham."We can educate. We're going to have to do some treatment, and then look at prevention."
Brittenham tells News 5 it costs $67,000 dollars to deliver and care for a drug dependent newborn. Some moms are on TennCare. Others do not have insurance, and that cost is passed on to the hospital.
"It is an epidemic in the state of Tennessee," said Brittenham.
Mountain States Health Alliance told News 5 that MSHA staffers do not report suspected cases of NAS to police. Rather, hospitals notify the Tennessee Department of Children's Services of cases. DCS handles investigation and will bring in local law enforcement if needed.

Writing Across Worlds: Literature and Migration
€ 84,49
Lieferbar innert 2 Wochen
Oktober 1995
BeschreibungWriting has always been a means of making crossings and forging connections between different worlds. Some writers have found it hard to reach an international audience, however: for decades the western literary establishment has been all too ready to sideline writers with mixed cultural or migrant backgrounds as 'marginal', 'multicultural' or simply 'other'. Since its foundation in 1984 the literary magazine Wasafiri has focused on the idea of the writer as someone who transports the imagination beyond the maps of narrowly defined borders, and has promoted a range of new and established voices as well as signposting new waves in contemporary literature worldwide. To celebrate Wasafiri's twentieth anniversary, Writing Across Worlds brings together a selection of interviews with major international writers previously featured in the pages of the magazine. Conducted by a wide constituency of distinguished critics, writers and journalists, the interviews offer a unique insight into the views and work of a remarkable array of acclaimed authors. They also chart a slow but certain cultural shift: those once seen as 'other' have not only won many of the establishment's most revered literary prizes but have also become central figures in contemporary literature, writing across and into all our real and imagined worlds. With an introductory comment by Susheila Nasta, editor of Wasafiri, this collection is essential reading for all those interested in contemporary literature.
InhaltsverzeichnisPreface 1. Geography, literature and migration: introductory themes 2. Literary reflections on Irish migration in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries 3. From Pappkoffer to pluralism: migrant writing in the German Federal Republic 4.'Rivers to cross': exile and transformation in the Carribbean migration novels of George Lamming 5.

Sunday too far away: images of emigrant existence in the literature of Slovenes in the United States, Canada and Australia 11. Migration in contemporary Maltese fiction 12. Literary perspectives on Jews in Britain in the early twentieth century 13. The depiction of return migration in American novels of the 1920s and 1930s 14. Birds of passage or squawking ducks: writing across generations of Japanese-Canadian literature 15. Vulcan's brood: spatial narratives of migration in Southern Africa 16. Far cities and silver countries: migration to Australia in fiction and film 17. In Samoan worlds: culture, migration, identity and Albert Wendt Index

Auckland Airport has announced it is partnering with China's leading social media website Sina Weibo through its new digital programs in China.
It will include the use of content from its luxury tourism website and new independent traveller site allowing New Zealand to be marketed to an audience of over 500 million people, the airport said.
Part of Auckland Airport's broader Ambition 2020 programme to expand New Zealand's share from high growth markets, the partnership with Weibo aims to attract more Chinese visitors.
Sina Weibo is a micro-blog, described as a hybrid of Twitter and Facebook, and one of the most popular sites in China, with a similar market penetration to that of Twitter in the United States.
Auckland Airport's chief executive, Adrian Littlewood told the tourist industry conference Trenz in Auckland today he was expecting great results from the Weibo partnership.
"Users will be able to learn about destinations, have access to special travel deals and share their holiday experiences with friends and family," says Littlewood.
Sina Weibo's General Manager of Weibo Marketing Strategy, Ken Hong says, "Not only are over 500 million consumers using Sina Weibo, over 200,000 companies have also registered their enterprise Weibo accounts to communicate with their target audience. "
"China's affluent segment is growing extremely rapidly and outbound travellers are increasingly looking for destinations that provide a high-quality travel experience."
A direct daily air service between China and New Zealand, launched in November 2011 by China Southern Airlines, has produced over 40 per cent year-on-year growth in Chinese holiday visitor numbers to New Zealand.
Air New Zealand is also now flying daily to Shanghai.
The airport said New Zealand's economy has reaped the benefits of this daily service, with Chinese visitor spend an estimated $522 million from June 2011 to June 2012 - an increase of 27 per cent from the previous year.


text: I have been meaning to start a thread like this for about three years. Better late than never. One reason I'm interested in hearing about other people's experiences is because three of my four grandparents died before I was born. And my Dad's Mom seemed kind of..."out of it". I don't remember her having much of an impact on my life. When I was younger, we would stay at her home sometimes and I hardly remember having much interaction with her. I can't remember anything specific about being with her, except that she was physically there. Maybe she was not really mentally there? In my later teens, she moved closer to our family and I would leave school early (free period for the last one of the day), take transit into town and visit with her before getting a ride home with my Mom (who worked in the elementary school next door to the group home where Grandma lived). Again, I hardly remember much about those visits. I'm thinking I just wanted to get away from high school as well as avoid the bus rides home. I also wonder about how some people not only met most or all of their grandparents, but have many memories of them. And even better, those grandparents played a positive role in their lives. My mind goes blank when I try to imagine something like that. I wonder if some people have really good lives because they had one or more grandparents who were a positive enough presence in their lives that it gave them a strong foundation to build a good life upon. Part of me thinks I should be jealous of those people. But I feel kind of numb instead. But I would love to hear stories from people who had great grandparents. Even though those stories might make me sad, I think it will help me realize that maybe I haven't accomplished as much as others because I didn't really have much of a support system around me. And being able to see things a little clearer in this respect means in some way I can cut myself some more slack for not being where I could have been otherwise. I'm interested in hearing all your stories though. Maybe some of you met all of our grandparents and had relationships with them...but those relationships were not good. Maybe we can start an FSU support group around this. Big hugs to you if you're one of those people! So what's your grandparents story? How many of them did you meet? What was good about your relationship with them? What sucked? Any other thoughts or comments you have are welcomed. P.S. I'm going to include a poll with this thread. It will be multiple choice as the poll won't be one question with an either/or type of answer. So look over the choices before you click submit!!

C is for Calories
C is for Calories.
Creeping Calories, that is.
I don't know why I decided to count calories in order to lose weight but it came to me and it was easy to do. Maybe it appealed to me because I like lists. I could make a list of the food I ate during the day and add up the calories. Easy!
The creeping calories are the calories that we DON'T count. I most definitely fall into this trap sometimes. There are sometimes days here and there where I get lazy with my calories. I use the My Fitness Pal app on my phone and log my calories.
Most of the time I do pretty well. But every once in awhile I get lazy. That's what it is, pure and simple. Laziness. I walk by the Candy Room at work and grab a few mini Tootsie Rolls and eat those on my way to the printer and then "pretend" those calories don't count.
Creeping Calories!
Sometimes when I'm at home I'll grab a snack…maybe some salty tortilla chips with sour cream. "Nah, these calories don't count." Tell me again why they don't count? I really do need a reminder sometimes. I need a little fairy to sit on my shoulder with me and whisper the reminder.
I'm not talking about the "breaks" I take from counting my calories. Sometimes I take a day or two off. If I am starting to feel like I'm burned out mentally from working out or counting calories, I take a day or two off. That does NOT mean I go nuts and eat everything in sight. NO! I eat my normal way, I just don't track. I think that's the biggest trick I've learned to stay fresh and on track for so many years. Sometimes we all need a break.
No, I'm talking about being inaccurate in my counting. Sometimes it's laziness. Sometimes I know I'm about to eat something so high in calories I just don't want to deal with it. I choose denial. Perfect example:
I shudder to imagine how many calories I ate at the Texas State Fair. I don't even want to know. I enjoyed my corndog, Catfish Taco and fried cookie dough and don't want to know I ate 4,000 calories. 🙂
But at some point we have to be accountable to ourselves. It doesn't matter if we're accountable to other people, or Weight Watchers, or to my online calorie tracker. They don't care. It doesn't matter to them. What matters is SELF accountability. By lying to myself about the creeping calories I'm eating I'm only hurting myself.
Falling into the habit of ignoring calories, bites, nibbles and sneaked treats only harms myself. Period. My lies will show themselves on the scale.
QUESTION: Do you track the nibbles, bites and creeping calories? If not, how do you remind yourself to do so?

There has been a LOT of cheating on calories from me lately. It's terrible! I keep telling myself the snitches don't count, but the scale tells me otherwise. Rough!
At Weight Watchers, we call them BLTs – Bites, Licks, and Tastes. I think your point about being SELF accountable is huge – yes, your tracker won't know that you forgot to put something into it, but your thighs and the scale most certainly will! Since I so recently hit my goal weight and have gone through some major life changes, I'm still working on finding that healthy balance.
I tend to nibble at lot (working at home and all). I always assume 100 extra calories of nibbles per day.
We can lie to our tracker, but the scale doesn't lie to us. (wow…that was profound! NOT…)
Thanks for this great post Lisa. Have a good Wed.
I struggle with this, and with not having much leeway between what it takes to lose and maintain.
One of the reasons I don't like MFP is that it never just lets me enter my cals without it's own motherly comment. If I'm under by 50 if yells at me that I'm under for the day and if I'm on track it gives me some unrealistic version of what I should weight in 5 weeks (which has never happened, ever, even if I ate perfectly for 5 weeks).
And since I'm so short, I haven't found a setting to give me a decent range yet.
I try to remember myself that the truth is the truth (about more things than just weight or calories) and that just because I don't record what I eat or when I gain, it doesn't make it less a fact. And that really what's going to help me not eat poorly or gain in the future is looking at those failures and fixing them.
But it sure is no fun sometimes 🙂
I used to count calories religiously. I did it for years and it helped me to lose almost 75lbs. But now I kind of keep a running tally in my head and that works for me. I have put on a few extra pounds in the last year (about 7 I think) and instead of counting calories I have just been very mindful of my workouts and don't eat after 8:00.
I promised not to weight myself again until January 1st (after keeping with all the body lovin promises I made) and hope to see a drop in the number or at least a pair of jeans that fit me the way they used to!!
I have found that using the MFP app on my phone is super easy and convenient, so I have been logging consistently for six days out of seven. I'm not a big taster/snacker so it works for me. Through tracking I have found the number that enables me to lose weight steadily and slowly. I am at 157 and a size 8 trying to get to 145, and then see how I feel. It may take months but I am fine with that because I don't have to starve.
I am very guilty of this lately – 20 calories here and 50 there add up to quite a bit by the end of the day. The other day on Tumblr I saw someone had posted this: "Your body logs it even if you don't." Food for thought, pun intended.
I do NOT count calories or keep track of what I eat..which is a big reason I've gained back some of the weight I've lost.
I need to do this.
You are awesome!

Natural gas prices may be headed higher
BOISE, Idaho - Intermountain Gas Company has asked the Idaho Public Utilities Commission to approve a 2.64 percent increase in prices. The $6.7 million hike would take effect Oct. 1.
The company said the main reason for the increase is the price of natural gas that Intermountain purchases for sale to its customers.
The request was part of the company's annual purchased gas cost adjustment application.
If approved, residential customers using natural gas for space and water heating will see an average increase of 3.81 percent, or $1.89 per month. Customers using natural gas for space heating only will see an average increase of $1.40 per month, or 3.64 percent, based on average weather and usage.
Commercial customers, on average, would see an increase of 31 cents per month, or 0.15 percent.
Intermountain Gas Executive Vice President and General Manager Scott Madison said the higher prices were caused by upward pressure on prices. That was caused by last winter's cold weather in the eastern U.S. It also put a significant dent into natural gas storage levels across the country.
An increase in domestic natural gas production is expected to keep prices fairly stable in the coming years.

Cite one comment from any NRA representative that states the NRA is against prosecuting criminals guilty of committing a violent CRIME with a gun. Ask any gun owner if they are against prosecuting gun violence criminals.
Again, just making crap up to strengthen your weak argument isn't good enough.

The fact is FAR more gun deaths, homicides, murders in the U.S. occur by so-called 'law abiding' folks pulling the trigger than by the 'criminal' element you want to blame. You're far more likely to be the victim of homicide by someone other than a criminal, i.e. friend, acquaintance, family member etc., particularly if there is a firearm in the home. Check it out, dare you. But here's a hint. You won't find any of these FACTS in your right wing gun nut or NRA sewer pipe propaganda you're so fond of.

I am compelled to ask you to provide sources for your claims.
#67 Apr 9, 2013
Here is a couple things. If a person living in a rural area 30 miles from town wants to give or sell a gun to a family member he/she will be required to: Drive 60 miles to and from town. Pay a gun dealer to do the gun deal that he has nothing to do with. Go to the police station for the purposes of background check. The farmer could also be required to keep that transaction paperwork on file or face felony charges and jail time. Seems quite a bit much just to give your kid a gun. When only a very very very small amount of these guns ever get into any crimes.
Despite what anyone says, a listing is being kept of those gun owners. Wether it is the government or the gun dealer that is required by law for record keeping. The government only needs to audit him to get a list if they don't have it themselves. A list is a big concern for reasons of publishing and privacy as already seen. Also confiscation reasons as we have saw in the past. I believe those are some of the biggest concerns not to mention the 20,000 laws on the books restricting the law abiding citizen. A lot are just tired of adding laws that do nothing to the criminal and only hassle them. Some of these laws are making law abiding citizens into criminals by slightly crossing legal document or legal procedures. There is no need for more than 20,000 laws. Not to mention what is not being unforced anyway.

I would be in favor of very strict penalties such as life behind Bars or death sentance if all doubt was removed and it was fact that the crime consisted of shooting and wounding or killing a innocent victim. There are way to many variables to what you said to agree. It was very very unspecific all do respect. If you meant it the way I think you did I agree totally. It just can't be said so openly because people would butcher what you said.

Why could'nt it be done directly with local law enforcement...over the phone or internet? Instead of driving there?.....As far as any records on gun ownership, would'nt they already have been gathered, regardless of what new laws might be introduced?

Sorry, my last post was replying to Phil.....

C even I was not clear enough while trying to be very clear. In the process of a serious crime the criminal also beside the serious crime it's self, shoots wounds or kills a innocent victim with the intent of doing so.

You have not went through the seriousness of a real background check. There are no two ways about it, you can not do it any other way but face to face with the proper authorities.
No that paperwork would not be kept on file without new laws.

You might want to look in the mirror when you talk about dumb SOBs so you can see for yourself what one actually looks like. Hello, dumbazz...if you commit a crime, whether you use a weapon or not, you aren't a law abiding citizen, now are you?

It doesn't sound unreasonable to me. BUT, we already have background check's, and waiting periods in place.
I have no problem with that. If I want to go buy a gun (which I am thinking about doing) I don't have any problem with the background check, or waiting period.
I just don't think any more laws and restrictions are going to keep guns out of the hands of those that use them to commit crimes.
Just this morning, some kid robbed a gas station near where I work, he had a gun,....I doubt he bought it legally, and went through a background check.s
Like I've said,....I'm not against back ground checks.
I just don't see how more laws are going to keep those Saturday night specials out of the wrong hands.
Shuck's,..you can go to Mexico and buy a truckload of guns that Obama left down there with his Fast and Furious campaign for $100
no back ground check required!

You seem to have a lot of personal experience with that sort of thing. You might want to stop self-medicating and seek professional help at your local health department...it could be a sign you're infected with one or more STDs.
Then again, an advanced case of syphilis would go a long way towards explaining your irrational thinking. http://ajp.psychiatryonline.org/article.aspx...

Velvet Paintings Of The Day
k.d. lang
Jesus with Gene Simmons dressed as Elvis. Notice which one has the angelic glow.
Speaking of Jesus, here He is watching over a big rig. Or maybe it's just a big rig carrying a giant Jesus statue to Heritage USA. Or maybe it's not Jesus at all, but an Allman brother, showing us the model truck he just finished building.
Not Jesus, but close: Willie Nelson. With Elvis' shades.
Kenny on velvet. A no-brainer.
Celebrate our Native American heritage with a disembodied polar bear head with footless claws in place of a lower jaw, as worn by Garry Shandling.
Here's one for your entryway: Monica with fertilized dress. A real conversation starter.
This was falsely billed as a Neil Diamond collage. I see two Neils, but I don't know who the fuck that is on the bottom left.
Another Kenny, this time in profile and denim. If you think his eye looks too high, you're thinking about old Kenny, not new Kenny.
Phil Spector - why? Honestly, I think someone just wanted to paint his hair.
I was going to apologize that this painting of Lionel Richie is blurred, but that's actually a good thing.
Marilyn MAN-roe... tranny version.
Chimps make horrible dealers.
Another Kenny, or Michael McDonald. Take your pick.
Hank, Jr. Whoever commissioned this probably asked for "Hank with a necklace." Instead, they got Hank, neckless.
One for the kid's room. This ought to help them get to sleep at night.
Whoa. It's the love child of Kenny Rogers and Dom DeLuise.
Twenty years ago, Don Johnson woulda kicked somebody's ass for this
It's-a crap!
Finally, the pièce de résistance: Mr. Charles Nelson Reilly.
29 comments:
Frankly I think I would kill for a Charles Nelson Reilly done in velvet. Priceless!ReplyDelete
That makes two of us, Kim Langston. I don't think it's for sale, sadly, but I bet you can commission one. I'd have to choose between Charles or Bea Arthur.ReplyDelete
Never play poker with Ed Asner, that cheating chimp!ReplyDelete
OMG!!!! These just got better and better as I scrolled down! I would pay a lot of money to walk into a house where one of these is being displayed. I mean, seriously. Phil Specter's hair rocked the house down too.ReplyDelete
I also want the Charles Nelson Reilly.ReplyDelete
It deserves to hang on my wall next to my Nipsey Russell and Gene Rayburn.
Oh Cary, this is comedy gold!ReplyDelete
Don Johnson? My gut says Kevin Nealon.ReplyDelete
- Another AmyMay 15, 2008 at 11:30 AM
The only thing missing from this fine collection is a Dale Earnhardt, Sr. portrait.ReplyDelete
These are classic. I can't believe you found the offspring of Elvis and Jimmy Carter (second photo down). And the Charles Nelson Reilly? Where can I get a few of those?ReplyDelete
Here's the dealio, if you just had one or two of these at home, you would be a dorkus, but if you had the whole damn collection you would be a legend for sure...ReplyDelete
i wonder what it says of me that I happen to own a velvet Elvis - complete with a tear.ReplyDelete
Did you know about these guys in Portland OR?ReplyDelete
No gallery on the website, but it looks like they have a book coming out.
BTW, the Charles Nelson Reilly one is awesome. I wonder, does one have to be of a certain age to even know who he is?
TRULY horrible!!!!!!!!!!!!!ReplyDelete
I want one of Jesus watching over a tractor. :PReplyDelete
I love Charles Nelson Reilly as much as the next gal, but where's The Duke???ReplyDelete
CC - you scared him off with your "penis shriveler."ReplyDelete
The Neil on the bottom left appears to be Neil YOUNG, as opposed to the Diamond Neil. Easy to confuse those two.ReplyDelete
I never knew Kenny Rogers could inspire so many pieces of bad artwork. I've seen Velvises, and plenty of Velvet Our Lady of Guadalupes, but never so many freaky renditions of Kenny Rogers (pre- or post-bad plastic surgery). Truly, I am sheltered.ReplyDelete
- BrianWMay 15, 2008 at 7:05 PM
The bottom-left Neil is actually George McGovern.ReplyDelete
I wonder about the first guy (or gal) who said, "You know, that would look great on a fuzzy black background."
Perhaps the Neil painter got mixed up with Neil Young.ReplyDelete
Charles Nelson Reilly - perfect but needs Brett Summers to bookend the glasses.
I saw this museum on that travel/cooking show with Anthony Bordain. It's lovely!ReplyDelete
Mwahhhh. I want the Charles Nelson Reilly.ReplyDelete
The next to last comment: priceless.
The man on the lower left of the Neil Diamond? Jimmy Hoffa, ya dummies.
ha, ha....Cary - I'm off to commission a velvet portrait of myself giving the PS look. Guess what you're getting for Christmas? ;-)ReplyDelete
cary, somewhere in mississippi, a trailer park is missing their artwork...ReplyDelete
The Tiger one has the best caption.ReplyDelete
That last Kenny reminds me of Will Sasso's impersonation of him on Mad TV a few years back....ReplyDelete
Dead. Too damn funny!ReplyDelete
Oh man hahaha, I love this. As an art student I actually really love working on velvet because it holds pastel strokes in an interesting way, but I didn't know until recently the kitschy history behind it. This was very...enlightening. And hilarious.ReplyDelete
Shameless self promotion of my own velvet pieces:
I would half to say my favorite painting is the monkey playing poker. It made my day. :)ReplyDelete

How to get rid of booklice
Booklice, also known as bark lice, plaster mite, and bark flies are a common problem in the UK. Increased numbers of HSDonline customers are contacting us on how to eradicate them from their home.
Where do book lice come from?
The booklice is tiny grey or brown insects generally found in damp, warm, undisturbed areas in buildings, where it feeds on microscopic mold and mildew. This little bug appeared on earth approximately 295–248 million years ago. Contrary to popular opinion, book lice do not bite humans or animals, spread disease or damage household furnishings, however they can sometimes cause mild skin irritation.
Outdoor species are often referred to as bark lice, since they are normally found under tree bark or leaves.
What do book lice look like?
- Adult booklice are soft-bodied 'greyish-white' insects about 1-2mm long and are usually wingless.
- Nymphs are very small and often appear transparent, becoming more opaque with age.
Booklice are all female, with development occurring from unfertilized eggs. Each female is capable of laying in excess of 60 eggs, which are placed either in clusters or laid singly. The young white nymphs then emerge to feed on molds and mildews until they reach adulthood – a process that takes between four to nine months.
Up to eight generations of bark lice per year can be produced, with adults dying in cold weather and eggs hatching the following spring. Outbreaks are common when long periods of humid weather is accompanied by warm temperatures.
Booklice avoid light and prefer temperatures of 25°C to 30°C, with relative humidity's of 75-90%.
Dehumidifiers for home can help eradicate booklice by reducing the high humidity levels they prosper in.
What are Psocids?
Psocids or booklice are common but harmless household bugs between 1 and 2 mm long, which survive in dry powdery foods. They prefer to live in dark, warm, humid places such as the folds in packaging in food cupboards, and dislike light or disturbance. They feed on a wide variety of dry food products such as flour and also the microscopic moulds that develop in humid conditions.
They may live for over six months during which time the female may lay up to 100 eggs. Research has shown that the sort of Psocids (there are several different species) which cause problems in homes are rarely found where food is produced.
What Causes these bugs?
They prefer areas with high humidity but can tolerate dry conditions for some days. The kitchen is likely to provide the conditions they need and fitted cupboards provide the darkness which attracts them. Some food products, including flour, naturally contain moisture. Moisture in the home can be caused by not having enough ventilation in the kitchen or bathroom.
In warm conditions they can rapidly increase in number. This is most likely to occur during the summer months when temperatures are higher, leading to their discovery in the autumn.
How to prevent a booklice infestation ?
It is best to keep all dry foods in cool larders or cupboards with ventilation. If this is not possible make sure that your cupboards are always free from condensation and damp. If you notice that condensation occurs in your kitchen, particularly during cooking or washing, open your windows. If the problem is continual it may be necessary to take additional precautions.
Advice on preventing condensation may be sought from the Private Sector Housing Team. If you discover any insects, do not use an insecticide because of the danger of contaminating your food. The best method to get rid of booklice is to remove and dispose of all the affected food.
- Clean the cupboard by using a DRY cloth, or by vacuuming.
- Empty the contents into an external dustbin.
- Make sure the cupboard is completely dry before replacing any foods.
- This may be achieved by using a warm air blower like a hair dryer.
Prevention is always better than cure. Store dry foods in a cool dry place.
How to get rid of booklice?
Chemical pest control is required. You should ventilate and dry areas with a dehumidifier fan and apply for below products to the specified areas.
1. For use in sensitive food areas: remove all food from cupboards, spray Protector Natural Insect Killer -let it dry- wipe down with a dry cloth and pack food back.
2. For use on soft furnishings use the efficient Protector C for a long lasting residual kill effect.
Infestations will usually disappear during late autumn when rooms are artificially heated and kept dry, but many people have found that using mothballs or mould-control products will help clear up an infestation more quickly.
I finish with one of our hundreds of positive feedbacks about the Protector C
An amazing product. It goes to work immediately. I cannot recommend it highly enough. I now have peace of mind and no beetles – yipee!

Junichi Tazawa -- sidelined since April of 2010 with Tommy John surgery -- will make his his first rehabilitation start on Friday with Hi-A Salem.
The Sox will have 30 days to activate Tazawa, and will almost certainly option him after doing so. They will then have to clear a spot on the 40-man roster for the right-hander upon the completion of his rehab assignment.
Tazawa was signed to a three-year contract in December 2008 and pitched in six games for the Sox in 2009, posting a 2-3 record with an ERA of 7.46. Dr. James Andrews performed the surgery to reconstruct the elbow of Tazawa, who compiled a 2.55 ERA in 109.1 innings pitched for Double-A Portland and Triple-A Pawtucket in 2009.

what difference does it make in what long ram air intake you choose to buy?
This is a discussion on air intake within the General Maintenance, Troubleshooting & Accidents. forums, part of the Tech & Modifying & General Repairs category; what difference does it make in what long ram air intake you choose to buy?...
what difference does it make in what long ram air intake you choose to buy?
what exactly do you mean by "long ram air intake". Are you refering to an intake that draws air in from the wheel well, commonly known as a Cold Air Intake?
yes thats the one, thought that was what it was called, but i dont know much about these things
There is already a ton of info posted on this site about intakes, do a quick search.
The gist: Leave the stock airbox alone.
damn, but i really like the sound that it makes haha
If you must have the turbo sound:
Remove the stock intake silencer (search for instructions)
Buy a COBB, K&N Typhoon or SPT Short Ram Intake.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 126.96.36.199
On one page I insert into $_SESSION at 'mykey' a value:

ccccccc

It comes from a form and is assigned as usual:
And on another page when I start the session and try to read the $_SESSION array the $_SESSION['mykey'] is empty.
All the other values set elsewhere are right there.
I tried addslashes(), htmlentities() but nothing works. To my surprise it doesn't work in FF, in IE it's ok.
Any idea? Thanks in advance,
Have you checked that the session var is being populated on the first page? Is the problem on that page rather than when the data is accessed on the next page? Try using this directly after you set the var:
echo '
';
echo '
';
Are you using session_start() at the top of all your pages?
The long string comes from an iframe on page 1 generated by JS after inserting in image in wysiwyg editor. If you feel like looking into the problem to avoid potential future problem let me know, I'll post codes and describe the problem in detail.
As for now, I went round this problem inserting src attribute at a later stage and it works.
Thanks for your interest and help DC!

This paper focuses on bank risk in countries that have abandoned their domestic currency and adopted the American dollar as a means of payment or in countries in which the dollar is a defacto currency, together with a domestic currency. In such economies Central Banks have a capacity to provide liquidity is constrained by their capacity to acquire dollars. Banks that operate in these economies thus face a risk profile that is significantly different from banks that operate in an economy where the central bank has the capacity to create unlimited amounts of domestic currency. We discuss this risk profile in detail. We also argue that, since much of the bank risk imposed by dollarization is systemic, banks may have little or no incentives to make provisions for the scenarios in which losses materialize. Under these circumstances, bank regulation may introduce liquidity and capital requirements in order to minimize the costs associated with a panic. The Basel capital accord does not provide any guidance for the management of bank risk in a dollarized economy. Given assumptions regarding the probability of a systemic financial system crisis, we develop a constrained optimization model for calculating the optimal amounts of capital and liquid assets banks should hold to maximize bank value. We compare and contrast the optimal decisions for banks with and without regulatory restrictions on bank capital and liquidity. The paper also provides insights into the potential financial system wide costs to of liquidity crises in a dollarized economy, an issue that is usually overlooked in the dollarization debate.
We have in hand an initial computer model for undertaking the above analysis. Current efforts focus on gathering and analyzing information from a number of countries to appropriately estimate the model parameters.

Craigslist Ad Of The Day: This Dude Just Wants To Eat Pussy
gotta sneak a profile shot in
(CL) – any girls wont 2 have there pussy ass licked till you cum let me no we can meet later ill be at the bw3s in mason its Monday any race age 20 45 send pics
I love Ken's game here. It might be perfect. Because some people may look at this and think, "This dude just wants to eat pussy? That's weird." And I guess, in a way, it is. I mean I love eating pussy as much as the next guy, but I don't leave the dinner table after appetizers. I stick around for the entree. However, have you ever just eaten a chick's pussy? Like just licked her out then walked out the door? No, you haven't. Because after you're down there for 10 minutes, licking like a German Shepard at his water bowl after a July walk, she's gonna start moaning, "Fuck me, fuck me." Every time that's going to happen. So any chick that replies to this is going to fuck Ken, they just don't know it yet. They'll show up for a casual pussy licking but once they get there and Ken start's twirling that tongue, she'll be begging to fuck. Ken just absolutely flipped the Craigslist fuck game on it's head. CL pimpin'!
PS – I need a belt buckle with my name on it so bad. Chick asks me my name and I just point down. Am I pointing at my dick? Nope, just telling you my name. Subliminal messages everywhere.
PPS – Shocked Ken said he'll tongue fuck any race. Definitely strikes me as more of the "No blacks allowed" type.

Procedure No.: 01.015 Page No.: 1 and 2 of 2 Date Issued: 03/01/98 Issued By: Carol Blum
To the extent possible, a distinction will be made between "centers" and " institutes."
A "center" is a program oriented activity of a group of faculty (inter- or intra- department or college) which has minimal or no need for special funding. The activity will normally be teaching or limited research.
An "institute" is defined as a research-oriented activity which requests and requires significant funding for its infrastructure and existence. The research focus implies an emphasis on multi-disciplinary, inter-department and/or college participation. The ability to obtain outside funding will be necessary for the institute's viability.
Centers and institutes are temporary in nature and reviewed every five years to determine viability and need for continuation. Both require action by the Board of Trustees for establishment.
a. a statement of need specifying the particular role to be accomplished.
b. a description of the manner in which the center or institute will effectively meet this need in a way existing units cannot.
c. the unique value of the program to the University.
d. identification of personnel and departments to be involved initially and a projection for such involvement over a five-year period.
e. estimated fiscal resources and sources of funding for a five-year period.
f. space and equipment needs and a description of how they will be met.
g. description of administrative control and lines of authority for the center.
