Re: Bonejacked
What's this? A late entry by me!? Seems to be my signature, but I'd rather get just one dance than to miss the whole party, you know. :D Also, this week is actually NOT a collab with my brother, Jedigreedo. Although this shirt underwent a lot of his scrutiny.
Um...not much to say about this shirt. The theme threw me for a loop & I had this mish-mashy idea in my head that just kinda wanted to go in several directions & it came out like this. (This is why I usually collab with my brother for ideas. >_>)
So, take a hit of your anti-drug of choice (you see what I did there?) & enjoy whatever trip this creepy skull may take you on.
Detail image for the groovy cats. Peace.

Where I stayed
We went to California Adventures the first day and had a great time. A lot of the rides were the same as Disney World and they combined rides from Epcot, Animal Kingdom, and Hollywood Studios. We tried to go on the rides we hadn't been on before first and then see what else we had time for. The big hit was "Cars Land" an absolute replica of Radiator Springs from the movie Cars. It was very impressive! The most popular ride in that section is called "Radiator Springs Racers". It is similar to Test Track at Disney World but you are in vehicles from the movie Cars and are racing through beautiful "Ornament Valley". We headed there first to get a fast pass and found they were already sold out for the day! At that point the wait time was 2 hours and we just refuse to wait that long in line for a two minute ride. We said we'd check back later, maybe it would be less busy during a parade, or the fireworks right before they close like we have found with other rides.
We had a little bit of an unfortunate incident while at Disneyland! As we have mentioned before Aimee can be quite clumsy at times! She had been looking at pictures on the IPad with Clare while the boys were on a ride and when she stood up to go the IPad slipped from her hands and crashed to the pavement. It was in the case but not shut and of course landed screen down. Nervous to look, she picked it up and found the screen completely shattered. It was still working fine unbelievably and thankfully we bought the extended warranty on it. Hilariously, when we bought it we thought we better get the warranty because the kids would be using it. We should have known Aimee was just as likely to break it! Aimee took a big breath, tried not to cry in frustration, and we headed to the next ride.
We really enjoyed the Aladdin Musical. The set and costumes were done in true Disney fashion and were nothing but spectacular. The actors voices were phenomenal and the kids loved when they danced through the aisles and flew through the air on the magic carpet. The admission cost at Disney is outrageous but when you compare the cost of taking the whole family to see a musical of that magnitude in Toronto the cost really isn't too bad. We're so glad we were able to see it!
We tend to not be one of those families that gets a good seat for the parades ages before they start and instead usually just find a spot as they are starting. There is just so much to see and do we try to limit our "waiting" time as much as possible. The kids also know our maximum "wait" time for any ride is at the upper most an hour. For some reason we usually seem to luck out and find a great spot to sit and this happened for the Pixar Play Parade too. The parades at Disney are fantastic and very high energy. We always get a little chuckle watching the performers faces because they are just too happy!
We couldn't forget some of our favorites and went on Toy Story Midway Mania, Soarin', and Ariel's Undersea Adventure. We checked the wait times at Radiator Racers and found the time kept going up and was at two and a half hours now. A Disney employee suggested we go in the singles line which was only 45 minutes but meant we wouldn't be able to go in the same car. We felt that was better than nothing. Clare was too young to ride it so Aimee stayed with her and the boys got in line. After waiting for 30 minutes the ride unfortunately had to be shut down for repairs. They waited another 15 minutes but not knowing when it would start up again and because it was getting quite late they decided to leave the line. It was a big bummer but the boys handled it very well and we headed to one more ride they hadn't been on before we went back to the campground. When we got back Gran and Gramps were there waiting up for us. We were staying so close to Disneyland that while we were telling them about our day we were able to watch the fireworks from the park. It was great to be able to watch them and not have to fight the crowds leaving the park at the end of the night.
We started our second day with tensions running high and not in the best frame of mind! We had spent the last few days trying to find a spot to stay on the coast after Anaheim. We're not sure if it was because it was Fathers Day weekend but we could not find a place anywhere. We had nowhere to stay the following night and Bruce and Aimee were feeling a little stressed out! We didn't want to waste any more time that morning making phone calls so realized we would have to do it while in line at Disney. Not something either of us wanted to do but we had to find a place to stay. We finally gave up trying to stay on the coast and found a highly rated campground a half hour inland. Bruce booked it while on "Its A Small World" with the song from that ride blasting in the background. He had to keep repeating himself because the guy couldn't hear him over the music! We were relieved to have found a spot and could go on and enjoy our day.
The Disneyland Park was similar to Magic Kingdom and we had lots of fun there with Gran and Gramps. The Space Mountain ride was totally different than the one in Florida and Gramps, Caleb, and Bruce had a lot of fun on it. We didn't even come close to getting on all the rides at Disneyland. It felt very busy at the park and was sometimes even hard to navigate through the streets it was so crowded. The crowds were huge at some rides and you just didn't want to fight your way through. We still had a lot of fun on some of our favorites (Buzz Lightyear) and were able to try some new rides we hadn't been on before. The Nemo Submarine Adventure was really well done and both Autopia and the Disneyland Railway were better than at Disney World.
Disney is always a great time but it sure would be fun to be there without the crowds! We're ready to take it easy and celebrate Father's Day in California's wine country!

In honor of this week's release of The Great Gatsby, I bring to you my most treasured glam secret: DIY dry shampoo.
You may be asking what dry shampoo has to do with the 1920s, so let me make the connection. This was a time when women slipped into a pair of trousers, smoked cigarettes, boldly cut their hair short, and rocked finger waves. One of the best ways to achieve a head full of curls is with day-old (or even two-day-old) hair. This is where the dry shampoo comes in. With dry shampoo, you get the curls, but your bangs and hairline stay nice and clean. So go forth, dare to be unwashed, and try those 1920s hairstyles with confidence.
To create this recipe, you are going to need the following three ingredients:
– 1 tablespoon of baking soda
– ¼ cup of cornstarch
– 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder unsweetened (for brunettes) or baby powder (for blondes)
Simply mix the ingredients and then work the chalkiness into your hairline. Once your hairline is covered, then work the powder back into the rest of your scalp. Brush it out, and style as usual.
The baking soda deodorizes your hair, as the cornstarch helps soak up any oil that the baking soda may have left behind. My favorite part about this recipe is that as a brunette, I don't have to worry about any white residue left in my hair after using it. As many of you fellow brunettes out there probably know, most store-bought dry shampoo leaves your hair looking dull and grey. The cocoa changes all of that! Not only does it make your hair look natural and brown, but you will smell like a chocolate cake! Honestly, a few weeks ago I had a stranger press her nose into the back of my head and ask what shampoo I use. For blondes, baby powder works just fine! If you want a little smelly goodness for your hair as well, try using lavender scented baby powder in this recipe. You can experiment with scenting this recipe by adding dried lavender, rose petals, or basil and rosemary.
Have your own dry shampoo recipe to share? Tell us all about it in the comments!

O'Neill Suspended For Pac-10 Tourney
March 11, 2011
Pat Haden Quote:
"I have talked to Coach Kevin O'Neill and expressed my disappointment in his involvement in an incident last night in which he and his wife engaged in an argument with a supporter of another school.
"We have met with various parties who have knowledge of the incident. Based on the information we have gathered, I am immediately suspending Coach O'Neill for the balance of the Pac-10 Conference Tournament. We also have set forth additional discipline that will remain private.
"Coach O'Neill was remorseful and apologetic and accepted responsibility for his actions. He understood that his actions were unacceptable and that they reflect poorly on him, his team and USC. We hold our coaches to very high standards, as they are role models to the student-athletes they lead. Clearly, Coach O'Neill used poor judgment and failed in this situation.
"Coach O'Neill is a good man and an outstanding basketball coach. He made a bad decision in this instance and is now suffering the consequences.
"Assistant coach Bob Cantu will coach the Trojans for the remainder of the Pac-10 Tournament."
Kevin O'Neill Quote:
"I want to apologize to my team, our university and our fans for my involvement last night in an incident with a fan.
"I understand my behavior as the leader of our team was unacceptable. I used poor judgment and put myself, my team and USC in a bad light. I regret that I have let them down.
"I respect and accept the disciplinary actions imposed on me by USC. It is something that I will have to live with. I look forward to learning from this, moving forward and coaching the Trojans well into the future.
"I know that Coach Cantu and the rest of the staff will do a great job in my absence, and that my players will continue to give a great effort on the court."
Pac-10 Commissioner Larry Scott Quote:
"It is an unfortunate circumstance, but we are in complete agreement with Athletics Director Pat Haden's decision.
"It's our highest obligation and responsibility to set a good example for our student-athletes as we prepare them for productive lives beyond college athletics. We commend USC for its actions."

Yet another example of Republicans showing they'd rather cheat than win elections fair and square…
GOP employee Colin Small, 31, was arrested by police after multiple witnesses watched him throw away voter registration forms in a dumpster. Those forms were recovered and given to police. The Republican party is denying any involvement or responsibility for the actions of their surrogate to whom they paid a salary.
Small was originally hired by Strategic Allied Consulting, a known right-wing front that has been previously connected to cases of voter fraud around the nation.

The further north we got the ice turned into a frosty coating and then into a light dusting of snow and finally turning into a rather thick covering of snow in some places (heavy snow in September should hopefully convey just how cold it was, currently about 3 degrees C). We reached the furthest north that we were due to go, Inari. A small town built on the edge of the largest lake in Finland with over 100 islands and 1000 km of shoreline. The water was very calm, even though there was a fairly nippy breeze coming in. The town however was not up to much, so we headed on after a few minutes wander and break.
From here our journey headed south, not far outside of Inari was a museum signposted at the side of the road. We began to head up before being confronted with a 25% gradient sign. Realising that the museum was on the top of a rather steep hill made the journey even more worthwhile. When we reached the top and took our pick of spaces in the empty car park we hopped out and had a small snowball fight as there was a good few inches of snow lying around the carpark. The museum was all open air and was showcasing the various vehicles and methods of transport used through the ages, especially when everything gets frozen over from the end of October. We wandered into the building at the end of the museum to be presented with a wonderful panorama overlooking Lake Inari. At the top, out on the terrace, there was a sign informing us that we were less than 30 miles from Russia and 260 miles from Nordkapp the furthest north part of Europe. All this whilst being over 700 miles away from Helsinki in south Finland.
We popped back into the car and continued a further 10 miles or so to a larger town called Ivalo where we decided to stop for lunch. I had the delight of Sauted Reindeer in a ring of mashed potatoes and lingonberry jam. I have to say that the meat was extremely tasty and very tender with next to no fat at all. Very nice indeed. We took a short walk along the river after the lunch before getting back in the car and driving onto Sodankyl�, 100 miles south. The terrain was fairly similar and flat with the same vegetation of pine/silver birch mix and lakes dotted around and about. We drove through Sodankyl� apart from a quick petrol stop, just short of 400 miles on the one tank of petrol, we filled up and got on our way. A further 60 miles back to Levi, stopping only at the supermarket to buy in some goods for the evening dinner.
Later in the evening, not long after 2200 we decided to see if we were able to see the Northern Lights again. This time we headed away from the ski slope and into a more foresty part of the village, but we could see a fair amount of stars but no Lights, there was a light scattering of clouds that had been with us for most of the day. We decided to head back up the ski slope anyway just on the off chance, but to no avail. It did seem that there was some clouds blocking the area where we expected the Lights to be and there was only a feint glow behind one cloud. We waited a little longer, but still nothing so we headed back to the cabin and to bed. A long day was in front of us.

The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

Chronic stress, tension, anxiety and/or physical overexertion can prevent restful sleep which can negatively affect your health and quality of life.
Relax-All is formulated with science-backed natural herbal extracts and nutritional compounds that allow the body to achieve a balance of muscle relaxation and mental tranquility.
NeuralCalm is a proprietary herbal and amino acid blend of highly concentrated extracts and neuro-peptides. Jujube, Valerian, Ashwagandha, Chamomile and Lemon Balm are all known for their relaxation properties and work synergistically to promote tranquility. Gamma Aminobutyric Acid (GABA) is a main inhibitory neuro-transmitter. Clinical data suggests Venetron, a patented Rafuma leaf extract, has positive effects on anxious energy, by supporting tranquility and relaxation. L-Tryptophan and Inositol benefit serotonin levels with a positive influence on GABA activity and mental relaxation. Calcium and Magnesium, in balanced proportions, are essential for proper muscle contraction and relaxation.
Suggested Use
Take 1 capsule every 3-4 hours or as directed by your qualified healthcare provider. Do not exceed 4 capsules per day or 5 days of consecutive use. For sleep take 2-4 capsules 45-60 minutes prior to sleep.

Sedation and Sleep Enhancement
Verified Purchase
Sedation and Sleep Enhancement
This product contains 'phenibut' (Beta-phenyl-gamma-aminobutyric acid), which reduces anxiety and improves sleep and may have other benefits. Because of the powerful sedative qualities of this supplement, along with its capacity for creating tolerance (the need to take more to get the same benefit), it is recommended that you do not take this in combination with other medications. I recommend intermittent use of this product, to decrease the likelihood of dependence. That being said, I have a relative who combines this with Jarrow 5-HTP to create a powerful sleep compound. If you are taking psychiatric medications (especially MAOI medications), consult with your physician before using.
Great supplement for relaxing
Posted by iHerb Customer on May 25, 2017 | Verified Purchase
I have severe insomnia and when I discovered Relax-All I found something that will relax me and turn off my mind from all my worries of the day and I can close my eyes and fall asleep. I do not use it every night but when I cannot sleep I reach for it and I can fall asleep. I recommend it for times when you are uptight and cannot sleep. The capsules smell terrible but you can get past it.
RSD and anxiety
Posted by 5584677917677897499 on May 11, 2017 | Verified Purchase
Have used Relax-All for years. My daughter has used it for RSD and the anxiety from work and life while dealing with constant nerve pain. I like that each capsule is 1/4 strength (4 capsules for full dose) as it is able to be dosed throughout the day, as needed, to smooth out over-firing nerves without become overly drowsy. iHerb has a great price and fast shipping!

Posted by Reviewer1463232 on Dec 05, 2015 | Verified Purchase
I used the entire bottle, before I wrote this. First off, this doesn't contain phenibut anymore, which works great for sleep. I thought it did. It just has regular GABA, which I've used for years and can get for far less money. The amount of other herbs in this is too small to do much of anything. Compared to real phenibut, this doesn't measure up too well. It helped for mild anxiety but not for sleep.

11 Days Left to Comment on Christo's Over the River Project
By Noel Black On September 2, 2010 · 5 Comments · In A Big Something, Art!, Ideas, Local Issues, Outdoors and Nature, Transport, Travel
In some ways, it's almost impossible to believe how controversial many of Christo and Jean-Claude's projects have been. The Orange Gates in New York City took 26 years (from 1979 to 2005) to be realized after many controversies and rejections (and that was in the art capital of the world). Christo and his late wife Jean-Claude work with fabric, after all, and their installations are always temporary. So what's the big deal? In the case of The Umbrellas, installed in both Japan and the US two people died in accidents. Critics of the Over the River Project have similar concerns related to both public safety, impact on business and recreation, and environmental impact. A group calling itself Rags Over the Arkansas River, or ROAR raise concerns about the impact on Bighorn Sheep, Bald Eagles, and the effects that up to a 1,000,000 visitors in a two lane canyon over two weeks could have on the its residents. Would ambulances be able to get through in the event of an emergency? What about sewage? and wildlife access to the 5.9 mile stretch (of 40 total miles in the canyon) of the water that would be covered? And yet the project is also estimated to bring in millions of tourist dollars to Colorado and international attention during the two weeks it would be installed. Additionally, none of the project itself would be publicly financed.
Regardless of the outcome, Colorado, and Southern Colorado in particular, will certainly be remembered for this project and the decision-making process. The Bureau of Land Management will have the final say over the project, which would be installed during the summer of 2013 at the earliest. They have extended the comment period until September 14 and you can read the Environmental Impact Statement HERE.
-You can email them at email@example.com.
-You can use the BLM's online comment form HERE
-You can send them a letter to: BLM RGFO, OTR Comments, 3028 E. Main St., Canon City, CO 81212.

Chris says:
Just because it's big doesn't mean it's art. But what is art, anyway? I'm not qualified to answer that question, but I have serious misgivings about this man's project. I just don't see the point of it. Why drape this fabric over the Arkansas River at all? Just so he can say that he did it? And if it poses as serious a threat to the surrounding environment as a lot of people say it does, then it shouldn't be given the green light. The more I hear about this project, the less I think it has to with art than ego.
R. A. says:
Putting this rag over the river is tantamount to putting a paper towel over a butterfly and calling it art. You can't improve upon nature.
a laszar says:
The world believes that Cristo is a great Conceptual Artist. Colorado should be thankful that the Artist wants to create art of our state. The international aclaim that would be bestowed upon Colorado not to mention the revenue from the appreciators of art visiting our state could be a huge boost to the economy. Those who are not familiar with Cristo should know what his works entail and how concerned he is with the impact on the environment. I completely support the opportunity for this state to have a real piece of history, the landscape itself is art. Whether you appreciate art or not.
Sarah M. says:
This project will bring world attention to Colorado – there is always a great deal of interest by the press in Christo's projects. Consider the banners at Central Park – many people spoke of walking through them as being a "magical experience". I suspect that rafting under the banners across the river will be too – it's a big visual spectacle which one would never normally see anything like it; one can only see for two weeks and it would never be seen again. I know people are upset about the goats, but I truly feel that if the goats survived the road and railway being built, this installation isn't going to be a big deal for them. The economic benefits, employment and interest in the area will be splendid!
Lenore Fleck says:
The pictures don't look especially spectacular. Maybe they don't do it justice? I guess rafting under the fabric would look pretty cool. From the road view, it would be rippling in the wind and reflecting the sky. Maybe I need more imagination to appreciate a long piece of fabric reflecting the sky. I know the river gorge is very beautiful as it is now. The 1-1/2 to 2 year construction seems long for a 2 week show. I know the wildlife would potentially have "access" under the fabric, but I wonder if they'd be scared off from those areas due to the long period of extra activity and just the change in appearance of their habitat. I'm just not wowed by the presentation. Maybe I'm missing something.

Is WTO about to abandon dream of global free trade?
By Tom Miles
GENEVA Jan 13 (Reuters) - As it seeks a new chief to lead it out of a negotiating death-spiral, the World Trade Organization looks doomed to be fatally undermined by new global carve-ups that will leave many of the world's poorest sidelined.
At its creation 18 years ago, as the "third pillar" of the post-World War Two economic system alongside the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, tariffs fell by a third and world markets, from farm produce to finance, were opened up.
A boom in commerce ensued, gathering pace when China became a member in 2001. But then, at a meeting in Doha that year, the WTO launched an ambitious attempt to push for further liberalisation that would help developing countries most of all.
The talks dragged on for 10 years, failing to resolve a split between the developed and developing worlds, mostly over agriculture. WTO Director-General Pascal Lamy, who vowed in 2005 to make them his "first, second and third priority", finally declared an "impasse" in 2011.
The WTO's first head, Peter Sutherland, wrote in an op-ed published on Dec. 31 that it was "a unique failure in the history of multilateral trade negotiations".
The stalemate triggered a scramble to arrange preferential trade terms outside the WTO - regional deals such as the U.S.-led Trans-Pacific Partnership and bilateral agreements such as the one the European Union is pursuing with the United States.
"If either ever comes to pass, which I doubt, a huge share of world trade would be conducted within a discriminatory framework," wrote Sutherland.
Such deals were already common before the "impasse", but afterwards they became the main focus for many countries seeking a route back to economic growth. British Prime Minister David Cameron has made an EU-U.S. deal one of three priorities for the UK's presidency of the G8 group of nations, which began this month. Continued...

Latest Headlines: After Snow, Bitter Cold Hits NYC, Northeast
Here are the latest headlines from the WNYC newsroom.
Brisk winds raking the Northeast complicated travel by blowing snow around. About 2,200 flights have been canceled nationwide today, according to the aviation tracking website, FlightAware.com. The winter storm and the cold temperatures are now blamed for 13 deaths across the country.
New York City officials encouraged the homeless to find shelter as single-digit temperatures followed a snowstorm into the city. In upstate New York, areas north and west of the mid-Hudson Valley were under either a wind chill warning or advisory overnight into Saturday morning. The National Weather Service said the Adirondacks and much of central New York could reach 25 to 40 degrees below zero, while the eastern part of the state could experience temperatures of 15 to 25 below.
In California, a judge said the mother of a 13-year-old girl who was declared brain dead after tonsil surgery can remove her daughter from an Oakland hospital if she assumes full responsibility for the consequences. Children's Hospital Oakland has declared Jahi McMath wants to disconnect her from a ventilator. McMath's mother wants to transfer her daughter to another facility that would fit her with breathing and feeding tubes.
The body of a second victim was found Friday in the ruins of a Minneapolis apartment building, increasing to two the death toll from the explosion and fire that gutted the building. Fire investigators are focusing on a gas explosion as a possible cause. A spokesman for CenterPoint Energy said there were no natural gas leaks in the system and that the utility received no reports of a suspicious odor before the blast.
Tonight: partly cloudy, blowing snow, winds 15-20 mph with gusts up to 30 mph. Very cold, with a low of 5 degrees and wind chill values near zero. Saturday, sunny, not as cold! High 28. By Sunday, temperatures will reach 47 degrees. Go figure.

Yeap buy the time you buy a sunomi barrel that is the right size then buy a sleave that fits it and then find a way to get it attached ( I dont recomend welding on barrels) then buy some dodad to make it longer and legal and still have to turn it down to fit all the other stuff you can likely for a few more bucks get a barrel made and be able to add muzzel attachemnts to it as it will be long enough to start. Now if you had a all the stuff to do it including the barrel then it migt be differant. Sunomi kits used to be $25 and that is why so manmy guys bought them for parts. i have a few still my self. the other way to go is build this as a pistol and then you dont need it to be 16".If I went with a barrel black right, since I don't have a lathe or enough experience with them to use one what do you think my best bet is ? To get the barrel, gas block, rear sight block, handguard retainer and muzzle break and send them out to someone with a lathe and have them turn the barrel down for all the parts and to fit the front trunnion too ??
Honestly you might want to consider building your kit as a traditional 7.62x39 to get the feel of what is involved in all of this. doing a 9mm blow back as a first build is going to be tough with no machinery. Im not saying you cant do it but your looking at a lot of obsticals. have you seen the bolt /carrier assemblys already made for blow backs?? it might be worth it for you. they replace the original bolt and carrier.

Please keep egos and politics out of this situation and let clear heads prevail in using this beautiful property.
Stony Brook already had a 5 year business plan for this campus and the state supported it separately from Stony Brook with 7.4 million dollars a year. If the first 5 year plan was an error in judgment in using 78 million taxpayer dollars, why should we trust Stony Brook University again? There were 800 students scheduled to be educated at this campus in the fall.
"New York State Assemblyman Fred Thiele and New York State Senator Kenneth LaValle today blasted Stony Brook University for making its decision to close the Southampton campus behind close doors without public involvement in violation of state law. The decision to close Southampton was presented to lawmakers and then the public as a fait accompli two weeks ago."

"In response to the closing, State Assemblyman Fred Thiele, a graduate of the campus when it was owned by Long Island University, and State Senator Ken LaValle have asked state Attorney General Andrew Cuomo and Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli to investigate fraud on the part of Stony Brook University, alleging that university officials deceived incoming students.
Thiele and LaValle were instrumental in having the state purchase the campus when LIU was preparing to sell it to a real estate developer four years ago and have been heralded as heroes for saving it as an educational facility.
Both men say their offices have been flooded with complaints from parents and students regarding what they are calling "deceptive acts and practices" on the part of the university.
In particular, they say complaints have charged that parents and students were told prior to enrollment the campus and its programs were in no danger of being closed or eliminated because of the state's fiscal problems.
"Without exception, Stony Brook made representations to these students and parents that SBS would not be closed or its unique environmental sustainability program eliminated," they said in letters to DiNapoli and Cuomo. "In some cases, these representations were made just days before the closure announcement."

SOTU 2012: Community Colleges, Workforce Development, Taxes & Infrastructure
A blog post by Mark Price, originally published at Third and State.
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette has a pretty good summary of the State of the Union.
Here is the full text of the President's speech, and Wonkblog has a version of the speech with only what they define as specific policy proposals.
What follows are our favorites from the speech.
Community colleges and workforce development:
Join me in a national commitment to train two million Americans with skills that will lead directly to a job. My Administration has already lined up more companies that want to help. Model partnerships between businesses like Siemens and community colleges in places like Charlotte, Orlando, and Louisville are up and running. Now you need to give more community colleges the resources they need to become community career centers – places that teach people skills that local businesses are looking for right now, from data management to high-tech manufacturing.
I want to cut through the maze of confusing training programs, so that from now on, people like Jackie have one program, one website, and one place to go for all the information and help they need. It's time to turn our unemployment system into a reemployment system that puts people to work.
But in return, we need to change our tax code so that people like me, and an awful lot of Members of Congress, pay our fair share of taxes. Tax reform should follow the Buffett rule: If you make more than $1 million a year, you should not pay less than 30 percent in taxes.
Building this new energy future should be just one part of a broader agenda to repair America's infrastructure. So much of America needs to be rebuilt. We've got crumbling roads and bridges. A power grid that wastes too much energy. An incomplete high-speed broadband network that prevents a small business owner in rural America from selling her products all over the world.
During the Great Depression, America built the Hoover Dam and the Golden Gate Bridge. After World War II, we connected our States with a system of highways. Democratic and Republican administrations invested in great projects that benefited everybody, from the workers who built them to the businesses that still use them today.
In the next few weeks, I will sign an Executive Order clearing away the red tape that slows down too many construction projects. But you need to fund these projects. Take the money we're no longer spending at war, use half of it to pay down our debt, and use the rest to do some nation-building right here at home.

Allied Domecq Gains on Buyout Talks
From Standard & Poor's European MarketScope
Allied Domecq was up £0.96 to £6.34 after the liquor company confirmed it is in talks with French group Pernod Ricard, which is working with U.S. group Fortune Brands, regarding a potential offer for the company. Allied Domecq said discussions are at an early stage and there is no certainty an offer will be made. Separately, Goldman Sachs downgraded the company to in-line from outperform.
Phone-book publisher Yell was down £0.48 to £4.22, after the Office of Fair Trading said the classified directory advertising market is not working effectively. The OFT has referred the matter to the Competition Commission for investigation. The move follows a seven-month study into the market. OFT said the structure of the market remains highly concentrated with Yellow Pages and Thomson Local Directories holding 90% of British supply, with barriers of entry high. The OFT added that the commission will now investigate further to decide on any necessary remedies. Following the announcement, the company said that in ten years since competition authorities first reviewed the market, the classified ad market has become increasingly dynamic and aggressively competitive. The company said it believes this has served customers well. It also stated that it will play an active role in helping the commission understand significant changes in the marketplace and its rapidly changing dynamics.
EMI music group was up £0.06 to £2.44, after Deutsche Bank upgraded the company to buy from hold and raised its target to £3.10 from £2.15. The bank said growth in broadband and MP3 devices will drive digital downloads and hence margins as the music industry undergoes a fundamental transformation. According to the bank, digital music revenues are opening up incremental revenue streams leading to margin benefits that should underpin significant revenue and profit growth.
SABMiller was up £0.23 to £8.45, after JP Morgan said the brewer looks set to achieve positive volume growth for the full year to March 2005 from its U.S. portfolio. The broker said this positive performance is despite a weak U.S. beer market, although it anticipates a better market performance in the spring and summer of 2005. The broker thinks that the company should achieve low single-digit sales value growth in fiscal-year 2005 and fiscal-year 2006. From this base, the broker expects margins to expand into double-digits and adds that the group's strong performance in South Africa and across other countries bodes well for the group figures. The company's organic turnover growth of 7% to 8% and earnings before interest, taxes and amortisation growth in excess of 20% during the past two years has been the best performance in the sector, according to the broker, yet the company trades at less than 14 times 2005 price-to-earnings.
Glaxosmithkline was up £0.27 to £12.28, after U.S. rival Pfizer declared that 2005 would be a year of transition. The U.S. giant is targeting $4 billion of cost cuts by 2008, with large cuts coming from marketing. Pfizer added that in addition to the loss of exclusivity on a number of important products, there are also uncertainties on the outlook for the Cox-2 franchise, continued pricing pressures and market expectance for new products. Pfizer expects 2005 revenues to be substantially unchanged from 2004 and added that the adoption of new accounting regulations will have a negative impact of $0.03 per share. The group says that it sees sustained long-term growth.
Drugmaker Sanofi-Aventis was up €1.55 to €66.60, in the wake Pfizer's announcement. In addition, Prudential reportedly initiated coverage of Sanofi-Aventis with an overweight rating. Separately, the British National Institute of Clinical Excellence backs wider use of colorectal cancer treatments, including the company's Eloxatin.
Liquor group Pernod Ricard was up €5.50 to €113.20, after UK drinks group Allied Domecq confirmed that it is in talks with the company, which is working with U.S. group Fortune Brands, regarding a potentialoffer for Allied.
Aeronautical equipment-maker Zodiac was up €1.45 to €37.70, after the company announced it has agreed in principle to buy all of the assets of C&D Aerospace Group, a U.S. company based in Huntington Beach, California. C&D Aerospace generated revenues of around $400 million in 2004 and projects that 2005 revenues will be substantially higher. The acquisition price is about $600 million and will be financed internally. The completion of the acquisition is subject to final documentation, regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions.
Engineering group Man was up €1.14 to €36.01, after the company said it expects its truck unit's operating profit to rise 29% or €100 million from €342 million in 2004. First quarter profit is expected to be clearly above last year's, while first quarter truck deliveries are expected to rise 15% and sales are expected to increase by almost 10%. The company said it expects a pay accord with unions in the second quarter. It stuck to its revenue growth forecasts of 5%. The company also said it is selling its logistical unit through a management buyout.
Salzgitter was up €0.34 to €16.34, after the newspaper Westdeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung reported that the steelmaker may consider buying or merging with a competitor, citing an interview with the company's chief executive, Wolfgang Leese. Germany's Dillinger Huette and France's Vallourec are named. Meanwhile, the brokerage Cheuvreux said that management is very confident about 2005 earnings and considers an earnings before taxes close to the €323 million achieved in 2004 possible. The broker said further selected steel price increases do not seem to be unrealistic in the third quarter, especially for heavy plate and tubes. The broker expects continued positive newsflow.
Singulus Technologies was down €0.36 to €11.84, after ABN AMRO downgraded the company to reduce from hold with a €11.2 price target. The broker said management will not give firm fiscal year 2005 guidance until the first half of 2005 results in August. The broker noted that the collapse in the fourth-quarter of 2004 orders did not bode well and said that, if the last cycle is anything to go by, the current downturn in sales could last for four to five quarters, or until the first quarter of 2006.

KEVIN RUDD has told officers at Beijing's main defence academy it's in China's interest to use its influence to quell North Korea's aggressions.
The former prime and foreign minister says the North's threats to bomb the US and its allies, and to reduce the South Korean capital of Seoul, comes as some in Japan and South Korea push for their own nuclear weapons.
He says Pyongyang's threat is causing the US and its allies in the region to enhance their co-operation on ballistic missile defence.
He says that would have wider implications for China's national and security interests beyond the Korean Peninsula.
Prime Minister Julia Gillard will lead a delegation to China this week that includes ministers Bob Carr, Craig Emerson and Bill Shorten for talks on trade, security and clean energy.

CLAIM: Madonna Worries Kelly Osbourne is "Bad Influence" on Lourdes
Madonna is afraid her 14-year-old daughter Lourdes' friend Kelly Osbourne is a "bad influence," reports Star.
Osbourne and Lourdes became pals when the reality star shot an ad campaign for Material Girl, the clothing line created by Madonna and her daughter. According to a so-called member of the singer's "inner circle," "Madonna likes Kelly very much, but she worries about the 12-year age difference and thinks Kelly's lifestyle is just too edgy for Lola [Lourdes' nickname] to emulate."
Now, says Star, Lourdes "wants to join Kelly in London to hang out in her favorite haunts and meet her friends." But Madonna is opposed to it. The mag notes, "She has worked hard to maintain control over her kid, and now she sees it slipping away."
Still, Madonna will put her foot down, reports Star. "Madonna truly admires Kelly but would never choose her as a role model for her teenager," adds the tabloid's source.
Of course, Star doesn't offer one example of why Osbourne is a "bad influence" other than being older and "edgy." So, is Madonna really "concerned about their friendship," as the magazine says? Of course not. Madonna's rep tells Gossip Cop the mag's claims are "not true."

Impressive Portugal set early marker
By Mitch Phillips
VIENNA (Reuters) - Portugal served notice that they will be again be among the title challengers when they turned on the style to outclass Turkey 2-0 on an entertaining first day of Euro 2008 on Saturday.
Co-hosts Switzerland, however, got off to the worst possible start in Basel when they lost 1-0 to Czech Republic in the other Group A game and lost captain Alex Frei to a knee injury that could well rule him out of the tournament.
Austria get things underway across the border on Sunday when they play Croatia in Vienna (1600 GMT) while tournament favorites Germany play Poland in Klagenfurt (1845) in the second Group B match -- the highest security risk match of the group stage.
Seven German supporters were arrested in the town late on Saturday after German and Polish fans exchanged increasingly hostile insults but heavy rain helped keep a lid on any trouble.
There were no other reports from either Austria or Switzerland of any serious trouble and the on-field action was free too of any major controversies or ugly incidents.
In Geneva, Portugal looked dangerous throughout, hit the woodwork three times and could easily have won by more as they began their campaign to go one better than four years ago when they were runners-up to Greece on home soil.
After weathering a bright Turkish start Portugal, soon took control and Cristiano Ronaldo was denied a goal when Volkan Demirel brilliantly tipped his low free kick on to a post.
In the second half, Nuno Gomes hit a post with a shot and looped a header against the bar but in between those efforts the striker played a lovely return pass to Pepe, marauding from the back, whose deflected shot left Volkan helpless. Continued...

Proposition 4 gives county governments a tool already available to cities and towns: the ability to issue bonds to pay for improvements within a designated zone and to use property tax revenue from new business drawn to the area to cover costs.
Extending this practice to counties makes sense, given the shrinking pool of federal and state funds for transportation needs and other improvements to infrastructure. Yes, there are more holistic ways to address these critical needs, but most, if not all, those options result in increased taxes. We know the appetite for that kind of solution at the state level is, well, thin.
In that context, it is important to note that Proposition 4 does not authorize a tax increase, either directly or indirectly. Sponsors of the measure are so worried that voters will be scared off by a reference to "taxes imposed" that the proposition includes wording to dispel that notion.
We think voters could still be confused, so here's our attempt at clarifying. Under the proposition, counties would be allowed to pay for infrastructure improvements in a designated area by tapping the property taxes of new businesses. Under current law, once the bonds used to finance these improvements are paid for, the special zone expires and property taxes revert to the general fund.
We say yes to Proposition 4. Let's give elected officials at the county level the authority to explore creative financing for transportation projects and trust them to decide what is right for their constituents.
This is one in a series of Dallas Morning News recommendations in the Nov. 8 elections.
Coming soon: More recommendations on the 10 proposed amendments to the Texas Constitution.
Early voting: Oct. 24-Nov. 4

Manufacturing declines at slower pace in June
July 16, 2001,
In a hopeful sign that a string of Federal Reserve rate cuts may finally be doing their job, a widely watched gauge of U.S. manufacturing activity showed some improvement in June, as the manufacturing sector continued to decline for a second straight month, but at a much slower pace than in June.
The NAPM Index measures raw material purchasing activity at 400 of the nation's largest companies.
Norbert Ore, head of NAPM's survey activity and purchasing chief at Georgia-Pacific Corp., said, "While the sector continues to struggle, the rate of decline slowed somewhat during the month. It is encouraging that pricing pressures appear to be moderating and inventory liquidation continues to occur at a rapid rate."
NAPM's Prices Index remained below a level of 50 percent as manufacturers paid lower prices for a fourth-straight month after 22 months of higher prices. Backlogs declined for a 14th straight month, and the NAPM's Deliveries Index continued to improve, reflecting faster deliveries. But manufacturing employment continued its long decline in June, and the index fell beneath the break-even point for a ninth-straight month. A major concern is the export market, which failed to grow for a third-straight month.
"The overall picture is one of continued decline in the manufacturing activity during June," said Ore. "The manufacturing sector is in its 11th month of decline. A rebound in the New Orders Index — the rate of decline slowed significantly — is somewhat encouraging, as it tends to lead future production."
In a separate set of data indicating a glimmer of hope for U.S. manufacturing, the U.S. Commerce Department reported that new orders for goods produced in U.S. factories increased in May by 2.5 percent, to a seasonally adjusted level of $343.7 billion, recovering from a 2.4 percent drop in April. The May jump was the third increase in factory orders in the past four months. Orders for durable goods — items ranging from air conditioners to vacuum cleaners — increased by 3.0 percent, following a 5.7 percent decline in April.
Shipments of factory goods rose by 2.6 percent in May, following a 2.4 percent decline in April, taking some pressure off of inventories. With shipments on the rise, inventories fell for a fourth-straight month, declining by 0.3 percent, following a 0.2 percent decline in April. But given the prolonged slowdown in U.S. manufacturing, stockpiles are still about 1.2 percent higher than year-before levels.

"I did all those separate interviews and really was convinced that this was an amazing case," he recalls. "I really believe they saw something real. What it was, I really don't know. [But] it was one of the cases where I felt very comfortable saying, 'I don't know.' "
For a more fully fleshed-out account of the sightings and their aftermath, see the chapter on this topic in his excellent book Mysterious America (Pocket Books). But it's safe to say that the Dover Demon was the first New England cryptid to gain prominence worldwide, and it still attracts interest today. (The Massachusetts demon is especially popular in Japan, and Coleman has two tiny action figures to prove it.)
As Coleman writes in the introduction to Beasts 2, the '70s were "a time of 'high strangeness.' Was the world going crazy, or were humans only screening sightings of new cryptids through the lenses of a culture unbalanced by UFO contactees and planetary poltergeists? New animals were being discovered, of course, but weird and unlikely ones were reported, too. The world seemed open to anything."
In fact, it's not hard to notice a pattern of sorts. In dreary Depression-era days, people sought diversion in the black-and-white beasts flickering in the dark of matinees. The stultifying Eisenhower era found kids ogling lurid EC Comics titles like Weird Science and Tales From the Crypt. In the '70s, marked both by wooly weirdness and Carterian malaise, folks went looking once more for things beyond their front doors. Now things are once again bad all over, and once again we detect a strong longing to believe.
The passion of the cryptidThe popular desire to collectively will mythological creatures into existence can sometimes leaves us vulnerable to those who just make up stuff. Frauds and hoaxes perpetrated by overzealous cryptid hunters have always bedeviled the field, says Coleman, undermining whatever claims to legitimacy other sightings might have. Then again, of course, to the doubting Thomases among us they're the rule, rather than the exception.
But be you skeptic, agnostic, or true believer, it's those fakers that get all the attention. "And you saw that," says Coleman, "with Georgia this summer."
Ah, yes. You may remember the two dudes down South this past July, who posted a YouTube video on which they claimed to have found a Sasquatch body in the woods. The media coverage was all-pervasive in the lead-up to an unveiling and press-conference, where, Coleman says, there were "100 reporters and 38 cameras and CNN live streaming." Cryptomundo.com's servers crashed as it was barraged by 23 million hits in 24 hours.
When the cryptid corpse was finally thawed in the glare of a thousand flash bulbs? The fur was synthetic and the feet were made of rubber.
Such hoaxes, alas, come with the territory, says Coleman. "I think 'frustrating' is too heavy-duty a word, but I think it's a distraction. Certainly, for those people who may want to fund [cryptozoological studies], or do serious journal articles, it becomes a sidetrack that we don't need."
(Interestingly, Coleman says, many of the hoaxes are "repeat fakers," who've had one actual cryptid encounter and end up staging more and more dubious claims to prove it. "It becomes very sad . . . a psychological need to prove to everyone that they weren't crazy in the beginning.")

Please if you are going to drag race, use thick steels in high drum and borg-warner clutches. The oil needs cuts in the clutches in high hp/torque to apply fast enough or they will burn up, YOU will have alot of heat in high so thin steels like to warp. Been there done that. My stock clutches of 5 did better then the smooth 6 clutches and talked to too many race c4 places and they agreed what i have found out, high fluid pressure is a must on a stroker around 240, five in high has been proven to be best with stock clutches in pro-trans transmissions. I done alot of expermenting with mine. Its the torque and rotating weight that kill third, Its the week link when you put them on the edge.

I have performed some spring cleaning/inspections on a few of my hives and have removed the screened bottom boards from them. Why? Because all they appear to be good for is collecting hive debris and moisture. I am also leaning towards the opinion that they may be one of the reasons I have so much trouble with the small hive beetle, and wax moths and even caulk brood in my hives. Are there benefits of screened bottom boards? Well yes I am sure there are, but in a humid environment with these pests always attempting to enter the hive the screened bottom board is just another way in.
So this year I am going to go without them and see what the results will be.

he is a black german shepard if he have white on the chest???
Asked by

Best Answer
Yes, absolutely possible.
There is a white spotting gene in the German Shepherd dog that generally causes white spots on the chest and paws. It's very common to find purebred German Shepherds that have a little bit of white on one or several paws, as well as on the chest. In most dogs, these spots get smaller as they grow up, but some retain a fair amount of white into their adult lives. It's not a disqualifier at shows, although it's not preferred.
I recently evaluated a purebred black German Shepherd female at a local shelter, which had three white paws. This was an unusual amount of white for a Shepherd, but there was no question that she was purebred.
Abby answered on Jul 30th.
Other Answers
No, I have seen purebred German Shepherd that are completely black with no white whatsoever.

As a result, many of the people you interact with, from the ticketing and check-in areas to gate attendants, Security staff and food service staff, don't work for HIA. Comments about their service should be directed to the airline or vendor employing them.
