I have some sad news. My China a.k.a. China Boy passed away yesterday at the Vets office. He had been coughing for about a week and I got medicine for him from the vet. He was still acting normally; playing, eating, drinking etc. Saturday night I noticed a change in his breathing and he wouldn't eat his treat. I had drill with the National Guard this past weekend. So I packed him, Georgia and Topsy with me in the car so I could keep an eye on him throughout the day during my drill in Seattle. I was in Seattle for about two hours when I decided I had to leave and take him to the vet. After an X-ray, the vet said it was his heart and his lungs had filled up with fluid. The decision was made to leave him at the vet and I would pick him up in the afternoon. The vet called and said that she had seen no improvement with the IV medication given. I had three choices. 1. Take him to the dog emergency over night whe re they could monitor his fluids. 2. Pick him up and take him home with medication and take him to my regular vet in the a.m. 3. PTS. So I chose number 2 thinking that I would have very little time with him left and I wanted him at home with me and his pals.
While I was driving to go and pick him up, the vet called and said he went into cardiac arrest. They revived him once but it happened again and he passed away. He was a beautiful soul and spent one full year as a pet and member of my family. He woke up excited every day and grateful. He would run and play with his toys first thing.
When I took him from the breeder and then to the vet after I first got him; The vet told me China had a bad heart and he was on enalapril the whole time I had him. This happened quite suddenly. I knew he had a heart condition but I sincerely thought he would be around for several more years. He is with my precious Shy-Shy in heaven with no pain and playing with his toys I am sure. I took today off from work.
As many of you know; I took China and Topsy from the breeder with the intention of adopting them out to loving homes. However, when I got Georgia, she attached herself to China so I decided to keep both China and Topsy. I am sooo glad I made that decision. Georgia cuddles with all of my babies so I am sure she will be fine. She loves Sassy and Teddy alot to. She still prefers the dogs to me but she always just sits beside me and stares and she just loves treat time like they all do.
I will be getting more Shih Tzu from the breeder and hopefully one in the coming months, as she has kept three female puppies to breed. It is such a weird situation. The woman has some good qualities but she needs to STOP breeding PERIOD!! The dogs are not over bred, they are not abused, she genuinely cares for them. However, she does not keep up with their grooming or vet care and they do not live the life of pets, as part of a family. Her place is just filthe. I cannot get her to stop so I do what I can. I pray I can convince her to give me them to me sooner rather than later. There are so many others in the area I am sure, but I can effect this situation and she trusts me. I just want her to release the dogs to me sooner so they have more than just a year in a real home.
For those of you who cannot keep track.
Teddy - 8 yrs old, I got as a puppy from this breeder
Henry - 6 yrs old, I got as a puppy from this breeder
Sassy - 14 yrs old (my first rescue from a home that could no longer care for her, has heart condition)
Topsy a.k.a. Poopsy - 10 yrs (came from the same breeder)
Annie - approx 12 yrs old. (was schedule to be PTS at the shelter)
Georgia - 10 yrs old (I flew to Kansas to get after my Shy passed)
Shy - (passed last year after I had her a year and she is Teddy and Henry's mother)
China - (passed after I had him a year and is Teddy and Henry's father)
Everyone is pretty healthy except for Annie who is getting better every day she is with me. I originally thought I would have her only six months. She keeps improving so I think she has a couple of years in her.
This has been therapy for me to write. I appreciate those who love me for me and truly understand why I have more than several Shih Tzu.

Gandhi was a positive role model and helped change the world for the better. He protested against violence and he also organized protests with peasants, farmers, and urban laborers. They felt the land tax was too high because they did not have enough money to pay for it.
When Gandhi was in Natal, he was also subjected to discrimination. He once was thrown off a railway compartment. That made him want to fight injustice and for his rights as an Indian even harder. In 1924 he organized a march against British Salt Tax. He also made his own salt by evaporating sea water. He was arrested for it.
In 1913 hundreds of Indians (women too) went to jail, and many Indian workers went to prison, were whipped, and even shot at. But the Indians kept fighting. It was horrible for the Indians, but bad advertisement for the South African government because they were the ones doing it. That was Gandhis goal. To make the African government look bad. Unfortunately many Indians were injured or sometimes killed. They were mourned but they also helped stop discrimination. Also, even after others died people didnt give up. The biggest reason they died was the punishment after they were captured. Eventually, the people who had lost their lives, as well as the people who had survived, made an impact. All those deaths had made the African government look bad. They didnt seem so great anymore. And that is what he, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, had hoped for.
Those are some reasons Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi is my hero. He was brave to face all that and courageous to keep protesting. He was admired by other people because of all he did. If everyone was like him the world could be better. Unfortunately he was assassinated January 30, 1948. But his impact on the world will remain. That is why Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi is my hero.

Camille Corot
1796 - 1875
"Drawing is the first thing to work on, then the tonal values. Look for the relationship between shape and value. These are the essential starting points." Camille Corot c. 1825
One of the most admired and copied French landscape artists of the 19th century, who understood the importance of painting out of doors, well before the Impressionists. He was also well traveled, incessantly looking for new sites and subjects for his paintings.
Camille Corot did not have a classical art education at the École des Beaux-arts, but instead he studied with two painters, Achille-Etna Michallon and Jean-Victor Bertin, both students of Pierre-Henri Valenciennes. Corot traveled to Italy in 1825 until 1828 to further refine his skills and knowledge. It was during this time he painted The Bridge at Narni and exhibited in the Salon of 1827. Corot produced history paintings, mythological and biblical subject that were submitted to the annual Salons in addition to producing a range of allegorical subjects, portraits and genre paintings, but he was known and beloved as a landscape artist.
Corot was admired for his talent of capturing subtle light effects and gradations of tone. He developed a system of recording light effects in his drawings. The National Gallery has paintings, drawings and prints as well as works produced with an experimental medium that combined printmaking and photography called cliché-verre. His techniques were of great interest to the Impressionists in particular Pissaro, Morisot and Monet. Corot died just after the first Impressionist exhibition. He exhibited extensively in the Salon and was named Chevalier of the Legion of Honour in 1846.

By Arthur Martin and Keith Gladdis, 15 January 2013 |
An '11 or 12 year old' victim of a child sex ring was forced to
miscarry after her attacker used an 'instrument' on her in a home
abortion when she became pregnant, a court has heard.
A gang of nine men face accusations of grooming and horrifically
abusing vulnerable girls from the age of 11 – making their lives a
'living hell.
The men, all from Oxford, allegedly plied six girls with alcohol, cocaine and heroin before repeatedly raping them.
Kamar Jamil, 27, Akthtar Dogar, 32, Anjum Dogar, 30, Assad Hussain,
32, Mohammed Karrar, 38, Bassam Karrar, 26, Mohammed Hussain, 24,
Zeeshan Ahmed, 27, and Bilal Ahmed, 26, deny the charges against them.In
the dock from L to R: Kamar Jamil, Akhtar Dogar, Anjun Dogar, Assad
Hussain, Mohammed Karrar, Bassan A Karra, Mohammed T Hussain face
accusations of grooming and horrifically abusing vulnerable girls from
the age of 11. All deny the charges
Karrar together with other men not before the court is accused of
using an instrument on one of the victims when she was 11 or 12 to force
a miscarriage after she became pregnant.
They are accused of subjecting them to 'extreme physical and sexual
violence', often beating and burning them as they raped their victims.
The Old Bailey trial has heard how there were many more potential abusers in addition to those in the dock.
It took almost half an hour for all the charges to be read to the jury.
The jury was told it would hear evidence from friends of the victims, relatives, care workers and the police.
Telephone evidence between the accused and the victims will be presented along with DNA evidence.
Mr Lucas said: 'The evidence will show that these girls were targeted precisely because they were young.'
The men took the girls to towns and cities across the country where they suffered further sexual abuse by other men.
The abuse is alleged to have taken place over a period of eight years.
Prosecutor Noel Lucas QC said: 'Much of what the girls were forced to endure was perverted in the extreme.
'The depravity of what the girls were forced to endure was extreme.'
Mr Lucas told the jury of seven men and five women at the Old Bailey to 'steel yourself' for the evidence they were to hear.
They were told the girls became addicted to some of the drugs and
felt unable to live without them making them more reliant on the men.
It was claimed the girls were often given so many drugs that they were 'barely aware' of what was going on.
Mr Lucas said: 'Indeed they say that is the only way they could cope with what was going on.'
The court was told the men had 'actively targeted vulnerable young girls from the age of about 11 or 12.'

First of all we will start by thanking Bambi for designing Rusty & Sassy's Wedding Page. It is such a beautiful page. Thank you my dear friend. You have always been there for us.
We want to thank The Roo Crew for moderating Our Wedding Group Page and for all the hard work you put into it.
Thank you "Anonymous" by your request, for making all the wedding and reception pictures. Everything was so perfect.
We had a very elegant formal wedding at 11:00 am Saturday morning.
My dear friend Bruti gave me the honor of walking me down the aisle. My best friend Jezzie was my Maid of Honor and George Underwood was Rusty's best man. The Bridesmaids were Missy, Daisy Mae CGC-EWC, Bernieand Lucy. The Groomsmen were Shiloh, SammyJ, Rudy, and Mickey. Mickey was also our Usher. The beautiful Flower girls were none other than River and Annie. Dusty was the Ring Bearer and his brother Ringo was our Justice of the Peace. I might add he did a superb job. He has everyone in tears. The Master of Ceremony's was none other than Boomer – Forever Loved Angel. We also had two more Fur Angels that helped out tremendously keeping the puppies in control. Not planned but definitely needed and appreciated. They were Rosie-In Loving Memory and Nelson-Sprinkler Dog In Heaven. Thank you so much. We forget how playful puppies can be.
We were pronounced husband and wife at 11:44 am. The ceremony was beautiful and the reception was great! Hearsay is that my Angel brother Wilson was hovering over us because spots and rain were seen over the reception. Thank you Wilson. You made it complete.
We left the reception in a horse drawn Carriage to the airport for our Honeymoon destination to the Château-de-Bagnols in the France Alps. We will be back next week.
Just a word of advice. Never ever leave your loved ones or friends without telling them how much you love them. You'll never be sorry. Live each day as though it's your last because you just never know.

I missed the post until everyone kept posting waiting on Sassy's answer. I had to go back many, many pages to see what they were talking about.
When I found out I said yes about a dozen times.

Three Things You Need to Know About Self-Promotion
If you're in the marketing business or do your own marketing, you know how difficult self-promotion can be. Due to current market conditions, many business people find themselves working on their own marketing campaigns and branding programs.
Fueled by pressure to publish creative and technical publications and messaging, marketers find themselves doing the work they would have outsourced just a few years ago. If you find yourself in this situation, here are three things you need to know about doing self-promotion:
1) Win in the niches.
Do you know what specific niches in which your brand can effectively compete and win? If not, it's back to the drawing board before you write word one. You'll need three lists.
- The first will list what truly differentiates your brand from all others.
- The second will list your customers' needs that your brand fulfills.
- The third will list the specific markets in which your customers can be found.
With these lists in hand, your next step is to analyze if you're trying to sell in more niches than your company is truly capable of supporting. In most cases, it's desirable to sell more products in fewer markets than fewer products in many markets. By competing in niches, your company and its brand can be positioned as a leader—which generally will provide a greater return on your marketing investment.
2) Know your competition.
Before you begin writing your self-promotion, it's critical that you study your competition to ensure you have a strong and persuasive story to tell to your customers in comparison to your competition. If you find a niche market that has many competitors that are all pretty much offering the same set of products and services as yours, perhaps this is a market you may want to avoid. If withdrawing from the niche is not feasible, then the more you know about your competition, the better you can bring something new and fresh to the table.

The Best TWSS Stories (All Time)
I was playing with a koosh ball sitting next to a girl I'm seeing and she say, "if you play with it in front of me, I'm going to want to touch it." TWSS
In our biology class we have a really annoying guy that loves to annoy everyone. One day he was sitting behind this girl and he started shaking the back of the seat with his legs on the book-holder. The girl told the teacher that he was shaking the chair and the teacher told her to deal with it, the girl replied "but hes doing it so hard and fast!" TWSS.
The other day at my lifeguarding job we were opening the pool back up after break and Jon yells at me to blow my whistle. I tell him I don't have one, and he says to use Kevin's. I respond with "I don't wanna blow Kevin's! I have no idea where that thing's been!" TWSS.
Me and my friend were in a CPR class and we were learning the Heimlech maneuver, when the instructor told his partner, "Spread your legs, bend over, and remember, keep going until it comes out." TWSS
My Track friends and I were talking about Hurdling. One person said, "I don't think I could get my legs over top of those hurdles!." Another girl said, "Oh, well I am used to spreading my legs." TWSS.
I was trying to take the cap off of my Strawberry Coolatta from Dunkin' Donuts and I was waiting for my dad to come pick my friend and I up. It was really difficult to remove. So I said "I know that as soon as I take my top off, he's going to come." TWSS
One of my friends was trying to sharpen his pencil with a sharpener that hangs on the wall, which he had never used before. There were different sized holes for different pencil sizes. He asked the teacher, "What hole do I put it in?" The teacher replied, "Show me how big it is and I'll stick it in there." TWSS
I was reviewing a spreadsheet with a coworker and suggested that she try to make it more concise, to which she replied: "I know it looks big, but trust me, it was a lot bigger beforehand." TWSS
My wife was talking about those thick fruit smoothie drinks and how sometimes the straws get clogged: "You suck and suck and suddenly you get a load in the back of your throat". TWSS.
Me and my girlfriend were sharing a packet of M&M's and I noticed she was taking more than one at a time because "It tastes better when you have two in your mouth at the same time." TWWSS.
Me and my girlfriend were sharing a packet of M&M's and I noticed she was taking more than one at a time because "It tastes better when you have two in your mouth at the same time." TWWSS.
The other day I was wearing a pull over with a zipper that goes half way down. It looks relatively stupid all the way down so i put it there trying to make a joke, my friend put it back to the middle, then my other friend put it all the back to the top. Somebody asked why in the world was my zipper at my neck? "Well, it was all the way down, then Jenny brought it up some, and Kristin got it all the way up." TWSS.
This girl in my English class was talking about how everyone made fun of her. She was talking in slang so she said "Everyday I get rode on. First thing in the morning, I wake up and someones riding on me, its not just guys either, girls too. I get rode on long and hard and they just won't stop. I'm just tired of being ridden on while I'm not ready" TWSS
Earlier today, while referring to a loose wing-nut on a 4" expansion plug, I said to my co-worker: "Good thing I pulled it out when I did, because this nut was about to pop off." TWSS
I ran a 5k with my sister. After the race, she informed me that her phone kept falling out of the inside pocket of her running pants, to which I replied "good thing you didn't drop it while running." Completely serious, she stated "No, whenever it started to slip out, I just held it in my hand." TWSS.

Win a free pass to SXSWi 2006
January 9, 2006 at 3:58 PM
Add to Delicious or Add to My Yahoo!
Ok, so the title is a little gimmicky, but it's true. SXSW Interactive has issued Digital Web Magazine a free pass to the 2006 event. True you will still need to pay for airfare and hotel, but you can't argue with free... besides, there are always plenty of web geeks to split a room with, just ask around. With that said, you're probably thinking I should shut up and just tell you how to get a free ticket. Well, it's simple. Post a comment to this blog post and tell us why you think Digital Web Magazine should give you the free ticket. Points will be awarded for originality, sob stories, and evidence of participation in acts of good will to other fellow web geeks. So what are you waiting for, comment away. Note, you may want to make sure you include your email address so we can contact you should you win.
I think DigiWeb Magazine should give me the free ticket because initiative should be awarded. Unless I am mistaking, I am the first one to post a comment to this story. If the early bird gets the worm, then feed me, damn it. :) You need someone who will use the ticket to its fullest, not sleep through all the festivities.
Hey! digiWeb, you guys are awesome! and giving away this free pass rocks! I think I'm going to win it. Thanks!
I've never left the northeastern portion of the U.S. and where I'm from there's precious little interest in modern web development techniques. Please help me turn my world upside-down by sending me to the opposite corner of the country and exposing me to true visionaries in the field. I would sure appreciate it.
You can save the world, it's easy(tm). For many many years The Beast was sleeping, fought by an ancient wizard and finally beaten. It's evil plan to conquer Earth and wipe humanity from the face of Earth had failed. But now, it has awaken! On the first January of 2006 the Curse that held The allmighty Beast down was broken and The Beast is roaming on our plane of existence again. But... Don't give up, cause you can save the World! It's easy(tm). For two reasons: 1. The Beast has an E-Mail Adress: firstname.lastname@example.com 2. The Beast will vanish for ever if it can once visit the SXSWi 2006. Save the World. PS: Sorry for mistakes, i'm no native speaker.
Release the beast! For the love of god, RELEASE THE BEAST!
Hey, sailor! Me give you BIG love. Very clean! Oh sorry - wrong website.
Why should I go? Other than obvious seminars and the speakers and the people and *GLAVEN*, it's to buy the guys at DWM a round after Day 1, Day 2, and possibly every day I'm there. Plus how else is a fan boy supposed to meet so many blogebrities?
Hi Digital Web: I think you should give ME the free pass to SXSW Interactive this year beause: I've lived in Austin for three years and never been to the interactive festival (boo hoo). Every year - I've managed to squirm my way into the festival (i.e. fake press, real press pass, friends in low places), but this year, I wanna get in for real! I missed the Bruce Sterling party AND Malcolm Gladwell's keynote speech and if I can go this year, I may be able to reconcile those emotional losses (another boo hoo). AND, it looks like I might be the first girl to post!!!! help a sister out...
Dear DW, I work for an IT contracting firm. Check that...I work for the world's CHEAPEST IT firm. That's right. The firm is SO cheap, it takes an act of congress just to get them to pay for a 1-day conference, even when I offer to pay my travel and overnight expenses. The request was DENIED! What IT firm won't invest $100 to train their employees and strengthen their skillset? I mean, really! Anyway, I'd probably have to pay my hotel and airfare anyway, but it sure would help out a web geek with 3 small mouths to feed if I didn't have to pay for the conference pass too. Yours Truly, Zack
Greetings Nick and DW! Last year's SXSW was an great experience for me. Meeting and interacting with peers around the world (including you, Nick, at one of the many night functions) was the highlight. I changed universities in the fall, and plans to go to this year's event were approved until an order from above froze my travel budget. With my new job, I am charged with a complete overhaul of our university web presence by August, and SXSW would be the perfect interlude to the project - plus a chance to rejuvenate myself and catch up on the freshest ideas to put into play. I made a lot of friends last year that I very much want to see again. A free conference registration would probably tip the scales enough to get my travel and hotel approved. And if not, I would cover the rest. Bottom line - I don't want to miss interacting with the panels, the Box-Model lunch with Molly and friends, and the camaraderie of everyone involved. SXSW 2005 convinced me to stay in the web biz, and I really, really want to go back. Salud! Chip D
I think you should give my husband a ticket because he's an amazing man. I have fibromyalgia and he supports both of us since I can't work and disability is on the third year of putting me off. He's a senior PHP engineer for a company here in Austin and works his tail off. He loves me and makes sure to spend time with me as well. We have two ferrets, two cats and a dog and with all that we can't afford the tickets but he should totally go. I think that about covers it!
My free ticket is in the bag because: * I know the true definition of Web 2.0, but I'm not telling anyone unless I get to go. * Without said ticket, my ability to go is highly questionable, despite my ability to simply drive to Austin. * I have family in the area and can simply drive from Dallas to get there, leaving only the ticket... * I couldn't go last year because classes interferred, but I spent that entire week depressed. * You (Nick Finck, Digital Web's Publisher) have told me you think I should go. * Andy Budd (Digital Web contributer) has publically encouraged me to attend. * I was the first person to use the "ajax" del.icio.us tag for something other than cleaner or sports. * I pimp Jeremy Keith's, Zeldman's, Molly's, Dave Shea's and Jason Fried's books (and call out Jeffrey Veen's book) on my Squidoo 'Essential Web Developer Bookshelf' lens. * It's one of my year-old 43Things. * I could meet most of my 43People, who I have all lovingly tagged, photographed, and stalked (digitally), who could then finally rest easy at night, knowing that I was finally able to add other people to my list to obsess about. * If you agree with afirmative action, then you should know that while I may look white, I'm really Hispanic. * If you don't agree with affirmative action, then just look at the photo, I'm white! * Hopefully somebody at SXSWi can help me figure out if I'm a designer, developer, front-end architect, experience designer, or perhaps simply unlabelable. * I'm just beginning my professional career and want to get off to the right start.
I think I should get the ticket because I've *never* been to any sort of conference. Never. Ever. To make matters worse, I've *never* had a two-sided design/developement conversation with anyone offline. Never. Ever. Why? I live in the middle of freaking nowhere, devoid of people (I could end the sentence right there, I could) who share my interests. The icing on the cake? Actually, there is no icing. I mean, whenever anyone says that, it's generally either their strongest argument, or a real let down. I've already stated my strongest arguments, and I'd rather not be a let down. So I guess the the best reason why I should get the ticket is that there is no icing on the cake. Let that settle for a minute or two...
Well, seeing that I pretty much invented SXSWi and this (Digital Web Magazine & this contest of course) I should probably get the free pass, which, I might add, I invented.
Did someone say "free SXSW pass" and "sob story" in the same post? Gee, those pertain to me since I work for a nonprofit that never seems to have the resources to send people from our Web team to cutting edge Internet conferences. And what makes my sob story even sadder is that I live in Montana where the Web is just a rumor. If that ain't enough, the work we do at the National Center for Appropriate Technology (OK, deep breath... I know that's a long name so let's just refer to it as NCAT) makes a real difference in the lives of people on the margins everyday. We manage over ten Web sites focusing on sustainable agriculture, renewable energy and energy efficiency, and sustainable communities... why right now we're sending a Small Farmer Disaster Specialist to work with minority and limited resource farmers as the try to recover in the hurricane devastated areas of LA and MS. I'm tearing up already... Add to all this the fact that if I am able to go to SXSW and learn some good stuff that I'll be able to bring that knowledge back to our Web staff and spread it far and wide. Talk about a sob story...
I hope Chris Griego receives the pass. He has put quality effort into his Squidoo lens and 43 Things pages. Also, this statement is excellent: "Hopefully somebody at SXSWi can help me figure out if I'm a designer, developer, front-end architect, experience designer, or perhaps simply unlabelable."
I need to go there for one simple reason: * I need to beat up every single person that mentions web2.0 in a serious sentence. I will crush them with the mighty power of the clog.
..that seems... rather disturbing Hayo.

Pharma: Code won't impede grants
"While we don't expect there to be any significant changes in the way commercial support is requested, offered or managed moving forward, these new ethical guidelines should help to encourage other stakeholders (academia, government, payers and health systems) to assume a greater responsibility in the financial support of CME," Maureen Doyle-Scharff, senior director, team lead, in Pfizer's medical education group, told MM&M. "This will be good for CME, healthcare professionals and patients."
Pamela Mason, director of the med ed grants office at AstraZeneca, concurred: "I do not expect that the CEJA recommendations will have a negative impact on industry funding of independent medical education...This is an important statement by CEJA and goes to the heart of why industry supports independent medical education."
The report advises physicians who participate in CME to "strive to avoid" financial ties with industry, where possible. It was the fifth version to come before AMA's House of Delegates.
The Alliance for CME testified against passage, saying the CEJA recommendations were not based on objective data and that current rules were adequate to prevent bias.

Shawinigan Cataractes Dillon Donnelly Admits He Broke The Memorial Cup
Shawinigan Cataractes defencemen Dillon Donnelly broke the Memorial Cup, and now he's going to have to pay to fix it.
"Breaking the memorial cup was an accident. I picked it up lost my balance and dropped it, there was no intention to break it, I'm sorry," he tweeted.
Cataractes general manager Martin Mondou isn't feeling sympathetic.
"You have to be responsible for your behaviour." Mondou also said the issue "will be resolved between us, the league and the kid. Nobody else."
According to the Toronto Star, the Memorial Cup was already damaged before Shawinigan won the trophy.
"Two figurines of hockey players on either side of the cup were missing, but they fell off long before Donnelly had the trophy on July 13 in Montreal. Pictures of the team being presented the Cup following their victory on home ice in the final against the London Knights in May showed the trophy without one of the figurines. Mondou said the figurines came off twice during the presentation."
Let's face it, this trophy is cursed. Remember when Spokane did this…

Clariant to Acquire Sued-Chemie from One Equity, Family for $1.9 Billion
Clariant AG agreed to buy private equity-owned Sued-Chemie AG for 1.4 billion euros ($1.9 billion) in cash and stock to expand in chemical catalysts used in the oil and automotive industries.
The Swiss maker of plastic additives will acquire a 50.4 percent stake from One Equity Partners LLC, JPMorgan Chase & Co.'s buyout arm, and has agreed to buy shares from family investors to take its stake to "slightly above" 95 percent, Clariant said in a statement today. One Equity will get 121 euros a share, compared with yesterday's close of 126 euros.
Clariant shares fell as much as 14 percent because of investor concern that Chief Executive Officer Hariolf Kottmann is paying top dollar to buy Sued-Chemie and diversify so soon after completing an overhaul. Sued-Chemie, whose sales and margins held steady during the financial crisis, will add 1.2 billion euros to Clariant's sales, a boost of about 22 percent.
"We are surprised a little by the timing and view the exit multiples as full," said James Knight, an analyst at Barclays Capital. "However, we think Clariant's management remains underestimated, and back them to use proven cost-cutting skills to extract synergy."
Clariant agreed to a 700 million Swiss-franc ($723 million) share exchange with family shareholders of Sued-Chemie. It will also seek to raise 400 million francs in a rights offer and 900 million francs in debt financing. Clariant investors will forego a dividend payment on 2010 earnings. Barclays's Knight in a note referred to the financing as "exceptionally conservative."
Shares of Muttenz-based Clariant fell as much as 2.48 francs to 14.98 francs and they traded at 15 francs as of 12:08 p.m. in Zurich. Munich-based Sued-Chemie last traded at 126 euros.
Opportunity Knocks
The transaction comes as Kottmann brings an end to major restructuring. The maker of paint pigments, which closed plants and cut jobs, ended 2010 almost debt-free, with an opportunity to acquire a business in a new market with higher growth prospects and less exposure to economic cycles.
Clariant, advised by Morgan Stanley, paid the equivalent of 10.5 times earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. The median Ebitda multiple for 104 specialty chemical deals announced in the past 12 months was 7.1, according to Bloomberg data. Debt of about 500 million euros brings the transaction's enterprise value to 2 billion euros.
The "pro-forma new Clariant looks expensive," said Tim Jones, an analyst at Deutsche Bank. "The investment case for Clariant has been cost cutting and portfolio optimization, not large-scale M&A, and we see this deal as increasing complexity," Jones and colleagues said in a note.
'Competitive Process'
Kottmann, 55, said the sale process was "competitive," and a pledge to keep Sued-Chemie intact helped give Clariant the edge over other catalyst makers. Albemarle Corp., alongside Umicore SA and Honeywell International Inc., were among those interested in Sued-Chemie, three people familiar with the matter said Dec. 22.
"Our real advantage compared to other companies bidding for Sued-Chemie was that we always said we didn't want to split the company into different parts," Kottmann said on a conference call. "The transaction is not an adventure, it's a logical next step."
Clariant's "unique" proposal, which included support for developing products like lithium-ion batteries, helped unlock the stake held by the Winterstein, Stockhausen and Schweighhard families, who had no real interest in selling and wanted to remain involved in the company, Chief Financial Officer Patrick Jany said in an interview today.
Profit Restored
Kottmann, who took the helm in October 2008, and Jany overhauled Clariant to boost efficiency and lift margins. The world's biggest maker of printing-ink chemicals returned to profit last year, with net income of 191 million francs. It predicted a "stable business environment" for its existing activities in 2011.
"Clariant has gone through a big change over the past couple of years," said Jany in the interview. "The restructuring was hard on everybody, but now we have a good base to really build the business. People are proud of increasing the performance and everybody is behind this move."

Fierce Creatures strives to be a band without limitations, and since its inception in 2009, the Fresno, California-based outfit has been proving this sentiment. Instead of nailing down a specific genre, the septet prefers to pursue a song wherever it leads.
Though guitar and keys generally drive the songs, instruments like the mandolin, harmonica and bells accentuate the sound and allow the tunes to soar to new levels. In 2010, the seven-piece self-produced and self-released its debut EP, I Mostri Feroci. The experimental outfit is currently gearing up for the release of its debut full-length, Catacomb Party, which is set for a September 11 release via Paper Garden Records.
Today, we are happy to premire "Babbity Abbot," off the aforementioned album. The track fortifies the notion that Fierce Creatures does not restrict itself. Beginning with a somewhat melodic, somewhat disjointed instrumental intro, this song is captivating from the start. Frenetic instrumentation and muffled vocals lead the tune as it chugs along a loose track of pyschedelic art-pop.
Listen to "Babbity Abbot" below.

The Houston Astros experienced an organization worst nightmare last week, when 10 months of their trade talks were leaked and disseminated on Deadspin after their internal computer database was hacked.
The leak revealed a few discussions with the Nationals. The Nats essentially laughed and walked away after the Astros asked for top prospect Lucas Giolito in exchange for Lucas Harrell at the trade deadline last year, and the Nationals declined to give up Nate Karns – whom they ultimately dealt for Jose Lobaton and two prospects – in exchange for catcher Carlos Corporan this winter.
During his weekly on 106.7 The Fan with Grant Paulsen and Danny Rouhier, General Manager Mike Rizzo expressed confidence the Nationals' trade talks will not be stolen. Why? Because he keeps his ideas in a notebook.
"It's something that every organization fears," Rizzo said. "The new world and the new generation, we've put all our information down in e-mails and databases and that type of thing. It's really something that is troublesome to learn. You hate when things are leaked out, because a lot of those trade proposals are just initial ideas and spit-balling, if you will. It would be a nightmare for us, and that's why a lot of my trade proposals and ideas are in my notebook that's in my briefcase. That's why sometimes being old-school ain't so bad."
Grant and Danny asked if they could see the see the notebook, and Rizzo reacted as if they had asked him for permission to burn down his house.
Rizzo also addressed Bryce Harper's comments – his suggestion that Ryan Zimmerman should stay in left field, Anthony Rendon should play third and Danny Espinosa should play second – for the first time. Rizzo called the controversy "old news" and said the Nationals had put it behind them.
"Harp's a competitor, and he says what's on his mind," Rizzo said. "I think if he had the chance to take it back and say it differently, I think he would have. But he didn't. To me, it's old news. He's a guy we need in the lineup. He's going to perform very positively for the club. I think when he spoke to his teammates afterward, everything is fine. It's old news. We put it behind us, and we're ready to move on play baseball with, finally, our 25-man roster intact."
Rizzo said Harper spoke with teammates and he spoke with Harper, which he called "very informative." Denard Span said early Tuesday afternoon he had yet to discuss the comments with Harper, but Rizzo said the two have in fact spoken since.
"He has talked to them," Rizzo said. "He's talked to Matt Williams and myself. We're all on the same page, and everything's good. We're ready to move past it."

A few months ago I took the train down from London to Cambridge with my colleague Frida Bengtsson, who is leading this expedition, so that we could meet up with Professor Peter Wadhams. As head of the University's 'Polar Ocean Physics Group', it's fair to say Peter knows a thing or two about Arctic sea ice. Friends at Greenpeace like to call him 'the Elvis of sea ice science.'
In his modern office, which looks directly across into Professor Steven Hawking's studio, we were lucky enough to spend a few hours getting our own private seminar on the changes occurring in the Arctic.
For example, he told us he expected there was more than a fifty per cent chance that this year we would witness a world record shrinking of the summer sea ice, driven by the rise in global greenhouse gas emissions. He added that his counterparts at the National Snow and Ice Data Centre (NSIDC) – the main institute in America for studying Arctic sea ice – expected that by 2030, the summer sea ice could have disappeared completely. He predicted it would occur even sooner, perhaps in the next decade, suggesting too that the North Pole itself could be open water even sooner than that – maybe even next year!
To hear such a world authority, somebody who has studied the Arctic ice for the past forty years, make this assertion seemed quite profound. Shortly afterwards, he took us down the corridor to introduce us to his student and colleague Nick Toberg. Back in London, and a few emails later, Nick was confirmed to join our trip with another Cambridge sea ice expert, Till Wagner, and on September 1st they both set sail with us from Longyearbyen on Svalbard to go up to the pack ice.
At around 81 degrees north, the ship is being carefully navigated to suitably strong ice floes where the scientists can conduct three weeks of field research into the thickness and volume of the sea ice. Using drills, core-ing, aerial imagery, snow depth measurements and GPS readings, they are establishing the properties of the sea ice at ten different sites.
Excitingly, they're also pioneering a new approach to measuring the thickness of the ice by working with Will Trossell and Matthew Shaw - two experts on laser scanning who have joined us from University College London. Laser scanners are more conventionally used in architecture, but Till explained why it's a groundbreaking development for their research:
"Up until now we had to measure the sea ice with a tape and a ruler going point by point. Now we scan the sea ice floes at a high resolution and take an exact digital copy of the Arctic ice home with us to the lab."
Back in England, the data Nick and Till have collected here should hopefully make a modest contribution to the world's understanding of what is happening to this fragile region where 28,000 square miles of ice is disappearing every year – and what that means for the stability of the global climate. Just as Miners used to have canaries to warn of rising concentrations of noxious gases, climate researchers have Arctic sea ice.
With information from satellites, complex computer models and dedicated field campaigns like this one, we will all be better able to comprehend what our fossil fuel addiction means we're losing before it becomes too late.
Joss Garman is communications officer aboard the Arctic Sunrise, which is currently in the Arctic. You can follow all updates from the ship here.

HMAS Tobruk arrives in Wewak
You do not have access to view this node has arrived in Wewak in the East Sepik Province of Papua New Guinea. Over 100 embarked personnel travelling with HMAS Tobruk are bringing medical, dental, veterinary and engineering assistance to the township.
Australian and American personnel were formally welcomed to Wewak at an opening ceremony ashore.
Air Commodore (AIRCDRE) Ken Quinn, Director General Joint Exercise and Evaluation Branch said the support from the Wewak Provincial Authority in the lead up and preparation to this program has been outstanding.
"Papua New Guinea is Australia's closest neighbour," he said.
"Pacific Partnership was conceived by the United States Navy's Pacific Fleet following the 2004 earthquake and tsunami as a way to improve the interoperability of the region's military forces, governance and humanitarian organisations during disaster relief operations," he added.
"The Australian Defence Force has been involved in every Pacific Partnership mission since it commenced in 2006. This year's Australian Defence Force led part of the mission is focussed on building capacity and working together," AIRCDRE Quinn said.
Engineering teams from the Australian Army's 6th Engineering Support Regiment and the United States Navy's Amphibious Construction Battalion are renovating local schools while Australian Army, Navy and Air Force personnel are working with members of the United States Army's 807th Medical Battalion to provide medical assistance.
Volunteers from HMAS Tobruk's crew will also refurbish sports facilities, war memorials and public buildings.

Disappearing Messaging Apps – What You Need to Know
Popularized by Snapchat, disappearing message apps are flooding online stores and becoming increasingly popular with users of all ages. Social media is an undeniable part of the social lives of young people, where they interact with their friends and peers in real time through the web. Parental control apps, like the ones we've reviewed before, have become increasingly popular among parents, but thanks to disappearing message apps, teens are finding loopholes that keep their interactions "off-book", so to speak, and away from the prying eyes of their digitally involved parents.
Apps such as Snapchat, Confide, Cyber Dust, Ansa, Slingshot and many others, all provide a means of interacting online without any apparent evidence being left behind on the user's device. This phenomenon poses a problem for parents who want to be sure their kids are using technology responsibly since messages and other related data are stored on private company servers and not accessible to parents. When researching these apps I've seen them positioned as effective tools for businesses. Perhaps they could be. For kids and teens however, here's a few of my top concerns, and what you need to know:
1. SnapChat blatantly lied to users about deleting messages. When I shared this with my teenage son, he said: "Jokes on us isn't it?" He's right. Teens believed their messages were private when they weren't. Snapchat was ultimately fined by the FTC for deceptive practices.
2. The main selling point for disappearing apps is to ensure the user's privacy, but if your child is willing to lie to you to be able to keep you from knowing what they are up to, that's a red flag. We know as parents that trust is earned by our children. However, when they're actively trying to hide something from you they whittle away at the trust they're building and that's not constructive, but an indicator of concerning behavior.
3. The marketing pitch of these apps encourages users of all ages to engage in behavior that is simply wrong. Whether it's lying, cheating, spreading false rumors, or being cruel and unkind. Take a look at their advertising in the app store:
"Disappearing Messages, Say Whatever You Want"
"Delete by Default, Keep what you want; we'll get rid of everything else."
"Easily go 'off the record' to communicate without leaving a record behind."
Many of these disappearing message apps don't prevent users from screenshotting messages and images. This means if your child has chosen to send an inappropriate picture or message it can be saved and shared with others. This underscores the message our children need to hear: "Nothing goes away on the Internet. Think before you post." And as we've written about before, content shared that shouldn't have been can have devastating consequences.
If you're concerned your child or teen has one of these disappearing messaging apps, ask them, and take a look at their phone. As with any app downloaded on a device, these apps will require an icon on the device's screen in order to be used. A simple review of your child's downloaded apps and a look at their devices' home screens/folders will reveal whether or not they are using any disappearing messaging apps. As a parent, here's what I recommend you do:
1. Talk with your kids about appropriate mobile phone use.
2. Come to an agreement, verbally, or in writing, about the use of these apps. Depending on your child's age, there are even a number of parental controls apps that regulate the amount of time your child can use certain apps, if that's the agreement you and your child come to.
3. Depending on how your iTunes or Google Play accounts are set up, sync your child's phone to your account.
4. Do updates once a month. You'll get a record of apps they've downloaded.
5. Tap through the home screen and open folders. As one young 11-year-old told us, she hid apps she knew she wasn't supposed to use in the "Education" folder on her device.
Although these apps might be a fun way to interact with friends and share updates and pictures, it requires a degree of maturity and exemplary digital citizenship to learn what is appropriate. Teaching kids to use social media and messaging apps appropriately, and setting an example of your own, is essential to halting the inappropriate use of these apps and other social networks.

Customers of the Hawaiian Electric Companies installed solar photovoltaic systems with 129 megawatts of generating capacity in 2013, up 39 percent from the previous year, the utility reported today.
That was a significantly slower pace than in 2012 and 2011 when PV installations more than doubled each year.
There were 17,609 PV systems installed last year across the utility's service area, which covers Oahu, Maui County and Hawaii island.
The cumulative amount of PV installed through 2013 totaled 300 megawatts of generating capacity.
According to HECO 10 percent of its customers on Oahu have PV systems, by far the highest percentage of any utility across the country. In Maui County the figure is 8 percent, and on Hawaii island it is 7 percent, according to HECO.

Wow..$8,600.00 for an 06 Rubi is a steal!

I'm in at $ 5,100!!! :punk:
Scam. Notice the guy uses a free Gmail email address which is nearly untraceable and he has zero feedback.
Also notice the FREE SHIPPING. lol Who the hell ships a vehicle for free. I went to carmax when looking for a rig and they said to ship me a jeep from Ohio to Chicago (about 450 miles distance) would cost me about 500 bucks. And this rubi has a FREE SHIPPING? lol.
At last
Payment methods accepted
Cashier's Check (certified from US or Canadian bank) or money order
which cannot be returned or tracked once the person receives it
Cash (in person)
i wonder if he would really take cash in person..
I'm definately no ebay expert, but is it not possible that he has a reserve set, and its just hidden?
Anyway, its a sharp lookin jeep.
2much, look at the middle of the page, you will see it says 8600 buy it now price to email him...
Now that i check it it seems like its deleted.
look at the names of the ppl that bid.. they are fake =p
Too bad it is a fake ebay listing...as that is the exact Rubi that I am looking to buy!
He seems to have removed the 8.6k buy now price he had up there earlier. Its up to almost 15k now.
Yes, I just noticed that as well. Maybe I should get a cashiers check tomorrow and mail it to him - NOT!
Seller is presumably located in "Alton Park"..but no state? Looks like there is an Alton Park in PA. According to carfax, the jeep was purchased in Mississippi and sold in Feb 07 to a private buyer in Texas.

If I had caught this with the BUY IT NOW at $8600, I'd have to turn into instant ninja and sneak into the bank vault and grab a fist full of Benjamins :D
i donno it seems like he was probably getting bombarted with the buy now so he switched it to make more money.
It is a Scam in every sense of the word. If I had the time before work, I would report it to Ebay, but I'm headed out the door. I'll do it at lunch. DO NOT EMAIL him. DO NOT BID. Anytime you run across Hyperlinked text in an auction, especially linked to disposable email addresses, you can rest assured that it is a scam.
Lol i think he just added the 8600 buy now again lol. wtf
I do a lot of stuff on eBay so I sent an email to their fraud people saying it looked like a scam auction. If they reply, I'll post up what they say.
Thanks Jerry. I just didnt get a chance this a.m.
hmm lets ask him questions only jeepers that actually owned that jeep would know haha
also id really like to know why he would need 2winches if it never was taken offroad?
Listing has been removed.
lol most likely his account is also canceled.

East Providence teachers help students during the holidays through 'Gingerbread Express' program
EAST PROVIDENCE — Quietly for the last two decades, the East Providence Education Association, the union of city teachers, has been adding a little Christmas cheer to those students and families in most need.
The "Gingerbread Express" has been at full throttle in recent days, as teachers have delivered presents to each of the department's 11 schools and through its partnership at Bradley Hospital. A total of 226 families were sponsored by the EPEA through the program this year.
"It is fully operated by teachers and staff of East Providence as well as a few community sponsors," the EPEA's district coordinator for the event, Jenn Preiss, said.
Mrs. Preiss is an elementary and middle school social working in city.
According to Mrs. Preiss, a child or family is identified as "in need" either by referrals or through existing aid programs offered to them through the school system. Staff and teachers then volunteer to sponsor a child. The basic requirements are at least two articles of clothing and socks as well as a few toys or gifts of the child's interest. The average cost to sponsor a child is about $75. Each child is given five to nine gifts. The gifts have to come wrapped because some families "can't even afford or don't have gift wrap."
The process begins in early November and all gifts are available for families to pick up the week before Christmas vacation at the schools. Earlier this week, Tuesday, Dec. 17, Mrs. Preiss and EPEA President Val Lawson, a Social Studies teacher at East Providence High School, delivered presents to children at the Oldham and Whiteknact elementary schools.
"New this year, all my fellow social workers volunteered to do all the package pick up and deliveries which was is a huge help," said Ms. Preiss. "We have to deliver to all the elementary schools and it takes about two full days to gather all packages, make all the runs, etc. So a shout out needs to go to the E.P. Social Workers."
Ms. Lawson explained the "Gingerbread Express" locally is an extension of the state-wide program, the "Children's Fund," run by the National Education Association Rhode Island, the conglomerate of unions throughout the state.
The Gingerbread Express is in its 22nd year of operation. Nearly 2,000 children and families throughout Rhode Island will benefit from the efforts of teachers, school and public employees, student groups and other friends of the fund this holiday season.
"We believe in providing children with a quality education and a quality education experience both inside school and in the home," said Ms. Lawson, who also noted the support the program receives locally from the School Department administration. "The Gingerbread Express is an extension of that as we try to meet the social and economic needs of the children."
According to NEARI, the Children's Fund is financed by money raised through payroll deduction, fundraising events, and direct donations. Valerie Staples coordinates the fund for NEARI and retired member MaryJo Pouliot, from East Providence, serves as its president. The EPEA has taken part in the Gingerbread Express since its inception with thousands of children and families having been helped over the years during the holiday season.
Added Ms. Lawson, "We care about the kids, about the community. Our goal is to support them in every possible aspect of their lives, and this is one way to do it."

The appointment was set for 11:30 initially then moved back to noon. I came to the hospital in the late morning, took some photos and shot some video of church brethren and their children receiving treatment.
The Minister was very supportive and we discussed how to guide the project through the necessary legal requirements, get government recognition and approval.
A very interesting event occurred when Mr. Mundeli ask for clarification of something that had been mentioned. The Minister fixed his face very carefully, then slowly said: "did you used to teach geography?" Mr. Mundeli replied that he had taught many subjects during his career and that geography had in fact been one of them. They compared notes about years and places, then the Minister exclaimed "you should always pay attention, you never know who you're going to meet!" Of all the interesting coincidences on might imagine, Mr. Mundeli had taught the future Minister Geography when he was about 16 years old and Dr. Ntawukuliryayo had not forgotten. He told our elder "your face has changed over the years, I might not have recognized you, but your voice and your way of speaking, I couldn't forget!" He went on to say that he didn't have pleasant memories of all his teachers from that period, but of Mr. Mundeli he did. As a pupil, he hadn't done well in French or English, but had excelled in Science and Math (and basketball). He reminisced for 15 or 20 minutes about those days, the obstacles he'd had to overcome, how some teachers had helped him and some had tried to trip him up. Mr. Mundeli proudly congratulated him on having done so well, receiving his PhD from a Belgian University, and now serving at the ministerial level in the government of Rwanda. It was truly an unexpectedly joyful moment, even for those of us who had no background in this situation.
After nearly 90 minutes, we had finished. He agreed to have his photo taken with our group, and then escorted us to the door.
Back at the hospital I took my leave of the others and had Etienne come and pick me up to take me back to Chez Lando, so I could take Dr. Kirkpatrick out to the Ntarama genocide memorial.
I hadn't had lunch and there wouldn't be time, so Dr. K. kindly gave me some been jerky that his wife had packed for him (thanks Mrs. Kirkpatrick!), and we drove the 30 minutes out to Ntarama. A pretty 24 year-old woman, named Dativa, was attending the site.
We were sobered to view the site and reflect on the suffering that had occurred here. Tutsis had taken refuge in church buildings when the genocide began in 1994, because on previous occasions when such violence had begun, people had been safe on church grounds. So the small church was filled to overflowing with men, women and children (there are always so many children in Africa) frightened for their lives. This time however the "holy ground" was not respected. Men with sledgehammers knocked holes in the walls and hand grenades were thrown in. When the explosions killed and wounded many and stunned the rest, the doors were broken open and the survivors finished off with machetes, clubs; anything at hand.
In a neighboring building, what had been the mud-brick kitchen, other people had been locked inside and burned alive. It was hard to imagine in the middle of what is now a tranquil dusty village. Dr. K. asked Dativa many questions, which she was happy to answer as best she could. She herself was 10 years-old and was on the grounds when the killing occurred. No, she told us, she wasn't in the church itself but hiding elsewhere. Yes, she had lost many members of her family. Yes, it was hard for her to be here, but she wanted to tell the stories and honor the memories of those who died. No, she didn't think there was still anger and bitterness among survivors, at least she hoped not. Some years back I interviewed other survivors of the killing at Ntarama for our Good News magazine, and I remember one of them concluding her explanation with "I hope we've learned our lesson." Probably all humanity throughout all human history could express the same hope.
We drove back into Kigali and had a brief breather before attending our team hosted for the dental staff at the hospital to thank them for their participation and work while our project ran. The meal was supposed to begin at 7:00 pm, but things ran late at the hospital both for the dental team and for the director, so the time was pushed back to 8:00. Most people had arrived by 8:30 at which time we ordered. Mr. Mundeli introduced himself and the Church and then introduced me to make some welcome comments and to explain the work of the United Church of God and our Good Works Project. I thanked the director and the hospital staff for their support and good will, and explained that we believe we should do good to all men, as the Bible says, especially to those of the household of our faith, but not limited to that, and also according to our means and to opportunity. I said we were happy to have been blessed with the means and the opportunity to help in Rwanda in this small way. We hope we will be able to continue assisting.
The director then responded with comments of appreciation for the work of Dr. Swartz and the support of the Good Works program. He said he hoped our partnership could continue to the benefit of the patients served.
Conversations were being conducted around the table in French, English, Kinyarwanda with a little Kiswahili thrown in. And finally, at a little after 10:00 pm, the food arrived! We ate and talked until about 11:00 when we took our leave and went our separate ways. It was an enjoyable evening, even if things went slowly and late. We appreciate the friendships that have been established, and hope that the doors that have opened will lead to more good things in the future both for our Church member and for others that may be helped.
Tomorrow it will be time to move on from Rwanda and head to Kenya, our next destination for a little rest and exploration and for visits with friends.

Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I was referred to this edodontist for a root canal and had the worst dental experience of my life, and I have no dental phobia, or anything like that. For the procedure I was tilted back with my head way down towards the floor, very uncomfortable for the lengthy procedure, but that wasn't the worst part. As the days past after the procedure, I kept feeling worse. I called the office and they told me to take some ibuproven, but that didn't help. Then I developed what I now know to be classic symptoms of Bell's Palsy, it was frightening. I lost muscle control in the right side of my face, my eye lid was sagging, I had uncontrolled eye twitching, my mouth was weird on the same side. When I went in, Dr. Mann suggested that maybe I had a stroke, he even called another doctor to confer with, and between to the two of them they had no idea what I had, but the symptoms were absolute classic Bell's Palsy symptoms. When I described my symptoms to friends and relatives, many of them said it sounded like Bell's Palsy, but Dr. Mann, a trained medical dental practitioner with over 15 years experience, had no idea? Really? I found a doctor who immediately recognized my symptoms and put me on a course of steroids, but not before he told me that the delay in treatment could prevent a full recovery, that Bell's Palsy when treated immediately had a high rate of success, but in my case ten days had passed. Luckily, after about one month, I did recover, but here's the kicker, for this wonderful experience I recently learned I was charged about twice the going rate for a root canal on the same tooth, I was charged $1,400.00 and a friend of mine had a smooth, fast and painless experience, and recovery, for $700!

If we run that Nascar formation this year , who do you think we will have up front.
If we run that Nascar formation this year , who do you think we will have up front.
"it don't cost you nothing to be nice"
That is how I feel about NASCAR. I still have a nasty taste in my mouth from what it never was.
No one remembers who came in second.
Last season our Nascar package played like a Pinto. In my opinion I think they should do away with it and find a more suitable defensive line formation on passing downs. I say this for the reason, Tuck can't play inside like he once did, so who would play inside? Kiwi? I don't want JPP inside, keep him at end where he is most productive. Moore, Tracy and Ojomo are relatively unknowns so we can't assume they can produce on passing downs until we see it for ourselves.
IF they use which i hope they dont i could see jpp and kiwi at end jenkins and tuck inside with either tracy and or moore at lb. its not what i want just how i see it if they choose to use it

"The poor we shall always have with us, but why the hungry?"
– John van Hengel, founder, St. Mary's Food Bank Alliance
Founded in 1967, St. Mary's is the world's first food bank. The idea came to founder John van Hengel when he was volunteering at St. Vincent DePaul, serving dinner to those in need.
When a mother stated that soup kitchens and grocery store dumpsters were the only way she could feed her children, the concept of a food bank was born, wherein individuals and companies with excess money and food could "deposit" it, and those in need could "withdraw" it. Van Hengel approached his local parish, St. Mary's Basilica, with his vision and was given $3,000 and an abandoned building. Van Hengel's idea became a reality, and in gratitude, he named his organization "St. Mary's." Inspired by his accomplishments, cities nationwide began opening food banks to feed those in need. Soon, other countries were following his lead.
Today, St. Mary's Food Bank is one of the largest food banks in the United States, and proud of the impact it has had on Arizona—and the world.

PowerShell goes to work
I was working this past weekend. PowerShell saved me lots of time and effort for instance:
- use the Quest cmdlets to move subnets between sites. One by hand isn't too bad but by the time you have tens of the things it gets tedious.
- moving DCs between sites
- checking replication is working properly & forcing a replication so I can test (both those scripts are in my book)
- checking the contents of GPOs
- adding accounts to AD & local groups
- etc
The more you use it the more you find to do with it – I haven't quite got to the point of 2+2 in PowerShell but its only a matter of time 😉

Senate Releases Text of Transportation Authorization Bill
We'll have more analysis at the mark-up this week (November 9), but in the meantime, here's the statement on the release of the Senate Transportation reauthorization bill, along with links to the bill and the bill summary.
Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA), Chairman of the Environment and Public Works Committee, Senator James Inhofe (R-OK), Ranking Member of the Committee, Senator Max Baucus (D-MT), Chairman of the Transportation and Infrastructure Subcommittee, and Senator David Vitter (R-LA), Ranking Member of the Subcommittee, today released the bill text for Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century (MAP-21), bipartisan legislation to reauthorize the nation's transportation programs for two years. Senators Boxer, Inhofe, Baucus and Vitter are all co-sponsors of MAP-21.
Senator Boxer said: "I am proud to be Chairman of a committee that has joined together across party lines to write a strong, job-creating transportation bill. I believe that our bill will not only protect the 1.8 million existing transportation jobs, but we will also create up to an additional million jobs thanks to the way our bill leverages federal funds. My deepest thanks to my Ranking Member, Senator Jim Inhofe, the Subcommittee Chair, Senator Max Baucus and Subcommittee Ranking Member, Senator David Vitter."
Senator Inhofe said: "I commend Senators Boxer, Vitter and Baucus for their work in striking the right balance on our highway bill, and I am pleased to join them as we unveil it today. Yesterday's votes on both the Democrat and Republican infrastructure bills showed that there is a strong bipartisan majority in the Senate that supports putting Americans back to work by building our roads and bridges. I look forward to working with my EPW colleagues to pass this bill - which is proven to help strengthen our economy and create jobs - in the committee next week."
Senator Baucus said: "Maintaining a strong transportation system is a proven way to create jobs and keep America strong and competitive, something we need now more than ever. Because Montana is a highway state, we know firsthand that the smart transportation investments in this bill will deliver big returns in construction jobs in the short term and they will support American commerce around the country and around the world for years to come. This is a bipartisan package everyone can support."
Senator Vitter said: <"I'm encouraged that we've found an efficient way of addressing some of our most important transportation needs. The American people - and many American businesses - depend on reliable infrastructure, and I'm glad that we were able to find some common ground with this bipartisan bill."
The legislation maintains funding at current levels, reforms the nation's transportation programs to make them more efficient, and provides robust assistance for transportation projects under the Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (TIFIA) program to leverage state, local, and private-sector funding.
Here are the: bill text for MAP-21 and a bill summary.

Reviews for this host's other properties
We spent 3 nights at Cliff´s home and appreciated very much his helpful and warmhearted hosting. As we didn´t have exact plans for our stay in Strasbourg he gave us a lot of tips what to do and see there. The room was clean although the building itself could need some renovation.
The bathroom was shared with another guest. All in all we liked our stay in Strasbourg very much. If you visit Cliff, you should also ask him to tell the story how he met the pope of rome.
Very Friendly and helpful guy with a nice place to stay.
He gave us also a lot of information about Straßburg and even drow us a map of the city. We would enjoy to come back some time.
Stephan and Lara
Clifford is a very nice and helpful man - and spontanous! We decided to go to Strasbourg 2 hours before arriving there and the next day to stay another night. No problem for Cliff! He gave us very good recommendation for concerts, restaurants and wine addresses.
The appartment is very nice and clean and in a quiet settlement.
Merci beaucoup, Cliff! Cordialement, Betwi de Stuttgart;-)
We really enjoyed our stay at Clifford's home. He is such a nice and open person. We talked a lot to him. He went with us in the city to show us some nice places. The breakfast in the morning was prepared with love ;) the room is simple but there is everything you need! Thanks Clifford for everything!
The room is big enough for two people. The neighborhood is quiet and safe. Clifford is a very nice person and personally cares for all his guests very much. The whole apartment can be used and it is tidy and clean.
We were received with great warmth and kindness.
My husband was ill and at 5 am, Clifford did not hesitate to call SOS doctors then accompanied me to the pharmacy.
He was very concerned about our well-being.
We would not find it more helpful and friendly.
If the opportunity arises we would not hesitate to return home.
Nous avons été reçus avec beaucoup de chaleur et de gentillesse.
Mon mari a été souffrant et, à 5 heures du matin, Clifford n'a pas hésité à appeler SOS médecins puis m'a accompagnée à la pharmacie.
Il a été très soucieux de notre bien-être.
Nous n'aurions pas plus trouver plus gentil et serviable.
Si l'occasion se présente nous n'hésiterions pas à retourner chez lui.
Pleasant, Friendly and available. Good relationship, competent and rich in review useful places for the traveler.
Agréable, Sympa et disponible. Bonne relation, compétant et riche en avis sur les lieux utiles pour le voyageur.
