Betsey Armstrong's Goal
"I really enjoyed my time at both places," Armstrong emails from London. "It was challenging to do something so different and new, but I made some really great friends." She also decided to try out for the Olympic team--because, she says, "I didn't want to think 'what if' down the road." With Armstrong in goal, the U.S. women took the silver medal in Beijing in 2008, and earned their spot in London with a hard-won victory in the Pan Am Games last fall. "It was an eight-team tournament, and it was a nail-biter every game," Armstrong says.
Her former coach says Armstrong is as good a person as she is a goalie. "She's kind and has a very positive outlook on the human spirit," says Anderson. "Other players on the team play hard defense for her because they like her as a person."
Her parents say nearly the same thing. "There's been a lot of focus on Betsey's achievements," says her father, "and she's done very well. But she's [also] a very caring person."
"It seems so high-flying to be part of the Olympic team," says her mother, Mary, a homemaker. "But it means getting up early and working so hard all day, and then getting up and doing it again the next day, and the day after that and the day after that. It's humbling to see how much work goes into it."

Rachel and Jon's Wedding
"This venue is truly beautiful; we held our cocktail hour on the side terrace overlooking the vineyard and our reception out in the amphitheater. The grounds are beautifully landscaped and there are fountains and gardens everywhere you look. The staff was professional and worked well with our vendors. Because our wedding was so large we had to bring in a lot of rental and there was some miscommunication about the reception setup, but overall we were very happy with the venue and our guests are still talking about what a romantic and beautiful setting we picked for our wedding."
Cecilia and Daniel 's Wedding
"The Robert Hall Winery is a beautiful setting to hold any event. The fountains, brick walls, archetectual structure, and vineyards make for beautiful pictures. We were very satisfied and all of our guests were impressed! Our ceremony was held in the ampethieter and the reception was down stairs in the caverns."

BeschreibungIt only takes a moment for a life to change forever. Ethan Denton is a lucky man. Lately things have gone his way-like being granted custody of Nate, his three-year-old son. But when he takes the child up to Angels Crest early one morning to show him the mountains, Ethan's luck changes instantaneously. In an impulsive decision any parent might make, he leaves his son asleep in the back seat while he follows a pair of magnificent buck, just for a minute-but when he returns the truck's door is open, the child is gone, and snow is falling . . .As townspeople gather to aid in the search, the boy's disappearance resurrects old wounds and regrets for each of them. But it also provides the chance for love and redemption, as they struggle to make sense of the inexplicable.

Montclair Democrats will honor Rep. Donald Payne at annual awards banquet
The Montclair Democratic County Committee will hold its annual awards banquet on Thursday, Oct. 18, from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. at the Valley Regency, 1129 Valley Road, Clifton.
The banquet, which is open to the public, will honor the life, legacy and contributions of U.S. Rep. Donald Payne, who died earlier this year. Payne had represented a portion of Montclair in the U.S. House of Representatives since 1988.
Donald Payne Jr., a candidate for the vacant 10th Congressional District seat, will accept the award on behalf of his father.
Proceeds from the dinner will help support the campaigns of President Barack Obama, Sen. Robert Menendez, and other Democratic candidates running for election this year.
"Montclair is one of the strongest-performing Democratic municipalities in the state and it is up to us to turn out votes for President Obama, Senator Bob Menendez and our Democratic candidates," stated Montclair Democratic Committee Chairman Brendan Gill, an Essex County freeholder, in a release.
"With a new Congressional map this year and new candidates for Congress in Montclair, we're going to have to work even harder to elect our House delegation," Gill stated.
"Donald Payne Jr. and John Arvanites share our values and we are committed to making them New Jersey's newest members of Congress."
Arvanites is the Democratic candidate in the 11th Congressional District.
Proceeds from the dinner will support the Montclair Democratic County Committee's effort to get out the vote for Obama, Menendez, Payne Jr. and Arvanites, as well as the campaigns of Essex County Sheriff Armando Fontoura and other Democrats.
Tickets are $100 for the public and $75 for Committee members.
The Montclair Democratic County Committee can be reached at P.O. Box 613, Montclair, NJ 07042, by calling 973-454-4506, or by emailing email@example.com.

I spoke to Mr. Findling on the phone on numerous occasions to help me with a family law issue. He was able to resolve the problem without me having to spend a dime. An honest lawyer. I am very grateful to Daniel and his firm for his guidance. Thank you Daniel
Posted by cjohnson
I just recently went through a divorce proceeding and I am very satisfied with the work that the Findling Law firm did while in court. We went to court three times and each time we were there they worked very diligently to represent me. Anyone choosing the Findling Law Firm would be very happy with the results.
Posted by Gloria
I interviewed several attorneys before I chose Mr Findling. He took the time to explain the law, and the procedure of a divorce as well as the time frame. My divorce was dificult to say the least but he handled it with professionalism and optimism.He litterly saved my finances , my life and my sanity. I don't think I could have chose a better lawyer or person to handle my situation. I personally feel he's the best, and I'd highly recommend him.
Posted by Raymond
I hired Daniel 2 years ago to represent me on a show cause hearing on child support in Macomb County. My ex-wife is so difficult to reason and deal with that even her own attorneys have eventually abandoned her. She has been through 6 attorneys since our divorce. Daniel actually got this woman to sit down and talk to us and negotiate the child support payments. I have never been able to get my ex to actually listen to anything I say because she always thinks she is right and has all of the answers.
Anytime I have called Daniel since then, he always takes my calls and will answer any questions I have. There is no one else that I would hire than Daniel. If you want someone who can get the job done, Daniel is your man.
Posted by Suzanne
After coming to the decision to file for divorce, I didn't realize how important it would be to choose the right attorney. After interviewing 5 different attorneys who came highly recommended to me, I chose Daniel Findling, and I am forever grateful that I did. After sitting down with him for my consultation, I felt empowered. He went through the entire divorce process with me, answered all of my questions and gave me really good advice. When I left his office, I felt a sense of relief because I knew I had someone on my side that would fight for me if I needed him to, but who would be civil if I asked him to. Daniel made the process so much easier and his staff was so helpful and supportive.
I would highly recommend Daniel to anyone that I know who is going through a divorce. The other attorneys I met with didn't spend half the time with me that Daniel did and certainly didn't explain the process to me at all.
Posted by anonymous
I never went through a divorce before, but i knew some people that had and asked them what to expect and what to do. They said get a lawyer, but a good lawyer. so i did some research and met with a bunch of attorneys in my area that provided a free up front meeting (i also called some firms that charged a few hundred bucks to sit down for a few minutes!). I have to say the first time I interviewed with Daniel it was different than what i had been through at that point. he gave me numerous options, and one included me doing nothing, walking out, and him losing my business. i could tell that i wasn't being hustled like i felt at other places. he also took me around the office and introduced me to his staff which made me feel important. i interviewed a couple of other attorneys after that, but felt Daniel would be best for me. i'm glad i hired him. although it wasnt easy emotionally, i felt protected and felt like i was always important and a priority. i was happy with my results and would recommend Daniel to any of my best friends. this is a far cry from some of the horror stories my friends told me about their divorces.

Biodynamics RETHINKING AGRICULTURE
New Logo, Name, and tagline As you may already have read, after more than 25 years with our previous logo, we felt the time was right to create a fresh image to reflect the current work and vision of the Biodynamic Association. Our goal was to create a visual identity that conveys the deeper values and spiritual impulses at the heart of our work — an image that could speak both to newcomers who know nothing about biodynamics, as well as to the long-term practitioners who have studied the esoteric mysteries of biodynamics for decades. Achieving both these goals in one image was not easy, but we are deeply gratified by the result and we hope you are too. (To see the full-color version of the logo, please visit www.biodynamics.com.) In an effort to simplify our communications and strengthen our outreach, we have also decided to formally adopt the shorter, simpler version of our name that our members have been using for many decades: "Biodynamic Association" (formerly "Biodynamic Farming and Gardening Association"). And we have created a new tagline that you will see regularly in our communications: "Rethinking Agriculture." We feel this phrase captures the deeper core of our work in a way that is both provocative and welcoming. We hope you will see reflected in all this work the good spirit of biodynamics growing strong and spreading its light far and wide.
For the future of biodynamics, Robert Karp Executive Director
DEVELOPING thE BIODYNAMIC APPRENtICEShIP CURRICULUM By Cory Eichman Saugeen River CSA, Durham, Ontario IN MID-JANUARY A SMALL GROUP Of BIODYNAMIC EDUCAtORS fROM ACROSS NORth AMERICA
gathered at the Pfeiffer Center in Spring Valley, New York, to culminate a year-long process of documenting, developing, and synthesizing the curriculum outline for the introductory biodynamic courses offered as part of the North American Biodynamic Apprenticeship Program (NABDAP). The educators involved were Barry Lia from Washington State, Harald Hoven from the Rudolf Steiner College in California, Malcolm Gardner and Rachel Schneider working from the Hawthorne Valley Learning Center in New York, Mac Mead of the Pfeiffer Center, Thea Maria Carlson from the Biodynamic Association (BDA) in Wisconsin, and myself. This meeting was generously sponsored by the Foundation for Sustainability and Innovation, the Agriculture Section of North America, and the BDA. NABDAP is the beginning farmer training program of the BDA, which combines 24 months of on-farm training with a course of classroom study, an independent project, and several other elements. When the program was launched five years ago, we created a broad outline of the topics we wanted to cover in the various courses that would participate in NABDAP for the classroom component. We tried to align this with the content of courses taking place at Rudolf Steiner College, at the Pfeiffer Center, and in Ontario. In 2010, Malcolm and Rachel created a new series of winter intensives at Hawthorne Valley Farm, as did Craig and Henrike Holdrege of the Nature Institute, specifically designed for NABDAP while also welcoming other interested individuals. The NABDAP curriculum outline that we started with was organized as three groups of topics: the human world, the biological world, and the physical 1
world. All of these topics can be explored and deepened throughout a whole lifetime. The challenge is to bring at least a working understanding of what are quite complex and comprehensive concepts in Rudolf Steiner's agriculture lectures. At the same time, we wanted to make sure apprentices were exposed to the basic biology of soils, compost, plants, and animals in relation to practical farming skills. We also wanted to leave quite a bit of flexibility for teachers of new programs to develop courses that suited their gifts. However, in practice, we found that leaving the curriculum too vague actually made it harder for new programs to figure out how to get started. Revisiting the curriculum started over a year ago. At the 2012 Biodynamic Conference in Wisconsin there was an opportunity for those of us working on existing classroom programs to meet face to face. At that time, we decided that, over the next year, we would share with one another how existing courses are working to cover the material. So, each month, those of us who are teaching courses wrote a description of how we are covering each of the topics listed. This had a real cross-fertilization effect, as we each got ideas and inspiration from learning how the other teachers struggle to present different and sometimes difficult aspects of biodynamics.
With all these summaries in our basket, we were able to make a rough, more comprehensive curriculum "straw man" that helped us focus on what was essential for the January meeting. We were ripe for clarifying our objectives and challenges, as well as our vision. We acknowledged that what we are trying to accomplish in this two-year biodynamic apprentice program is very ambitious; European programs are generally four years and may not cover as much spiritual science as our curriculum. However, we all felt that it was essential to introduce these concepts as uniquely central to biodynamics, and thereby meet a real need. One of the things we explored was comparing concepts to capacities. An integral part of biodynamic practice is not only understanding certain concepts from spiritual science, but also developing certain observational abilities and the capacity of intuitive thinking. Self-knowledge and conflict resolution skills are also essential for true sustainability in agriculture. We did not feel that it was appropriate to include these topics as required elements of the curriculum, but materials could be compiled as a resource for teachers who want to incorporate them into their courses. We also recognized the breadth of the material we are trying to cover in this program. When we reorganized the structure into three different components, we were then able to make quite a bit of progress. These three components are: 1) practical skills, Continued on page 4

BIODYNAMIC SChOLARShIP fUND: Providing Access to Educational and Advising Opportunities thANkS tO thE GENEROUS SUPPORt of
the Kalliopeia Foundation, the High Wind Foundation, and individual donors, we have been able to award scholarships to over 60 individuals through the Biodynamic Scholarship Fund to participate in biodynamic educational opportunities across the continent this fall and winter. As scholarship recipients reflected in their own words: "My days at the Enzo Nastati Seminar have started me on a sacred path in the use of biodynamics. I have already started making applications and spreading it on our land. My interconnectedness with the Earth is more keenly felt, and I have a greater sense of responsibility to protect and connect with all that is around me." — Bruce Forrester, Bellbrook, OH "Through the 'More Humus, More Humanity' workshop, I gained immense appreciation of the depth of contribution and insight from Rudolf Steiner and others connected to the biodynamic agriculture movement. I found Bruno Follador's work and presentation extremely inspiring. I learned a lot about compost and agree with its profound value in the context of healing the earth." — Mary Spalding, Chicago, IL
"The continued support from the biodynamic organizations around me have shown me that the biodynamic community cares about individual farmers and farms. I feel grateful and seen by the larger whole as someone who is entering into the practice from the world of organic farming and seeking to bring greater energy and purpose to the work." — Virginia (Ginger) Salkowski, Manzanita, OR
In addition to this personal enrichment, the educational programs themselves are enhanced by the participation of the scholarship recipients. According to Mac Mead, Program Director at the Pfeiffer Center in Chestnut Ridge, New York: "Thanks to the Scholarship Fund of the Biodynamic Association, several young and aspiring farmers were able to attend the fifth annual mid-winter agriculture course conference at the Pfeiffer Center. Their youthful energy added greatly to the success of this festive weekend where we took up the theme of the 'Animal and the Farm Individuality.' It was quite a collaborative process, which was kicked off on the first evening with a Young Farmer Panel and followed in the next two-and-a-half days by small and large group meetings, artistic activities, music, and visits to the cows and horses. It was a lively event and greatly enhanced by the addition of those who could only attend thanks to the Scholarship Fund. The alliances formed during this weekend between younger and older farmers will be a positive force for the future."

2) basic biology as relates to various farming practices (soil science, botany, cover cropping, crop rotations, and animal and human nutrition, to name a few), and 3) the spiritual science that stands behind biodynamics. We felt the skills checklists, which guide the on-farm training for apprentices, covered the first component quite well, and we discussed using existing webinars through organic organizations or developing our own webinar series to address the second component. We could then focus the classroom courses primarily on the third component, so that spiritual science as it relates to farming could be thoroughly addressed in face-to-face gatherings. This plan created a tangible relief in the meeting. Since NABDAP serves the whole North American continent, the webinar format can support teachers in best using their limited classroom time. This new curriculum and webinar series will be finalized sometime soon, with updates on the BDA website (www.biodynamics.com). It is very exciting to have developed the program to this point, and we look forward to seeing it evolve further and reach more people, as it really addresses a practical need for farmer training in North America. for more information on NABDAP, visit www.biodynamics.com/nabdap.

Getting employed is largely a matter of chance . There are recruitment agencies
specialising in male escorts but the job description is different and the title is "gigolo" .
Gigolos are experienced professionals who provide a service. Toy boys are
inexperienced amateurs who receive one.
Most of our toy boys were Australian but a spattering came from the UK and
Canada. The typical candidate was bronzed, athletic and unworldly. They gave the
impression of having lived a life of total innocence until picked up by a thirty-plus lady
from the other side of the world. The term to describe her male equivalent is sugar
daddy. I like sugar mamma but will stick to modern terminology and refer to the ladies
as cougars ... after the big cat of the same name.
The most memorable of our cougars was Renata. I became aware of her presence
when a worried mum from Melbourne phoned to inquire about her eighteen-year-old
son, Robin. Mum was unhappy about the company he was keeping and it was a while
before she disclosed that Robin had gone off with an older woman whom he'd met at a
schoolies party.
At this point, I should explain that schoolies parties are held for school leavers.
They are an annual event and of great concern to parents a nd teachers who worry
about older males that gatecrash the parties and prey on young girls . I wondered if
anyone was keeping a lookout for older females.
Renata and Robin were on a scuba diving trip when mum phoned. I assured her
that they had gone out with a good dive company and were in competent hands but
that did little to calm her fears. In the end, I agreed to speak to Robin on his return.
I cornered the young man in the hostel garden, sipping a coke and sarsaparilla and
looking totally at peace with the world. There was no sign of Renata.
"How was the diving?"
I asked to get the conversation going.
"How did your friend like it?"
It wasn't much of a reply and I decided that Robin was a man of few words . But I
needn't have worried. He was soon waxing lyrically on Renata's charms . At thirty-five
she was almost twice his age. That didn't worry Robin. He was clearly flattered by her
He told me that his friend was a company accountant from Hamburg and she was in
Australia for her Christmas break. Renata lived in a fabulous apartment and knew lots
of famous people. They'd had a fantastic time together and he'd learnt a lot from her.
The last remark came with a touch of shyness and I didn't ask for details.
It seemed that his dream encounter was coming to an end. Renata would soon be
returning to Germany. Her company was negotiating a big contact and her financial
skills were needed. She boarded a plane a few days later and Robin returned to
Melbourne in good health and apparently no worse for wear.
I thought I had seen the last of Renata but I was wrong. She'd enjoyed her stay with
us and turned up at Christmas two years running . The hostel was a fruitful hunting
ground and she managed to find a young companion o n both occasions. Her
preference was for fresh-faced young men from sheltered backgrounds.
Not all cougars share Renata's tastes. Some like their young men tough and
brawny. Others go for a more delicate model. There are opportunities for most young
guys so long as they remember the two golden rules of cougar hunting.
1) Don' brag about your conquests (real or imaginary).
2) Don't pretend to be older than you are.

I spent ten minutes earlier playing Angry Birds on the iPod Touch of a friend. The game is available for play on the iPhone or iPod Touch, provided that your device has the proper updates required to play the game.
Angry Birds is a game starring a bunch of differently colored birds who are angry… angry at pigs who apparently have done something wrong. I do not know what these pigs did (probably mass genocide of birds?), but the introductory cutscene-type deal seemed unappealing and cartoony so I skipped it.
Most of the ten minutes I spent playing Angry Birds was actually comprised of listening to my friends tell me about the controls. Apparently, these furious fowl are willing to jump on a slingshot and have someone finger them into position to be released all cannon-like in order to obliterate some pigs. This smacks of many MMORPG tropes, such as the suicide mission trope and the band of heroic fowl trope. By comparison, World of Warcraft and LOTRO both have chickens in them, and I assume they are also rather angry at the misrepresentation of their species as a fowl race.
Much like other MMORPG's before it, Angry Birds is actually quite the intriguing multiplayer game, but for a different reason entirely. It involves a system of gaming known as "sharing," which is commonly unheard of in many MMORPG's as it requires people to relinquish control of the game in order to allow other people equal time in completing or failing objectives. That said, the addition of a sort of ranking system to determine who should best be set in the sharing roster may become an intriguing development for the game, should its developers decide to implement it, as it opens up an entirely new metagame that can enthrall its sizable fanbase into playing.
With that, it can be said that Angry Birds is one of the most innovative MMORPG's I've had the experience of playing. Despite its lack of a crafting system and its rather lackluster quest implementation, Angry Birds serves as the immutable metaphor for the human spirit, as man, like an Angry Bird, must learn to overcome obstacles together in order to succeed in killing people who want to do other things which you disagree with.
EDIT: For the record, I do not take money from Rovio. They have not paid me to say anything. But I would like some money, so if you could send some my way, that'd be nice, Rovio. 🙂

When Paul urges the Judaizers who trouble the Galatian churches to "mutilate themselves" (Galatians 5:12), it seems like a crude joke. They like cutting foreskins; might as well go all the way to cut off the whole thing.
But it's not just a vulgar insult. As many commentators have noted, Paul virtually equates circumcision with castration, which, far from being a mark of inclusion in Israel is a reason for exclusion (Deuteronomy 23:1). But a student, Grace Langness, points out that there may be something else happening. Circumcision is literally a removal; it is a privation. To take pride in circumcision is to take pride in an absence. This is the irony of the Judaizers position: They treat circumcision as a sign of power, when in fact it is a sign of human impotence, the impotence of the flesh. Whey they glory is circumcision, they glory in what is not there; they glory in nothing.
Castration is not, in this sense, the opposite of circumcision, but the logical extension of circumcision. If you want to glory in nothing, you might as well not stop cutting when you've cut the foreskin. Go all the way and boast in absolutely nothing. If the Judaizers would do that, though, they would circle back to Paul's own position, because they would be glorying in their own powerlessness, the inability of flesh to breed Spirit, the incapacity of humans do rectify what has gone bad. If they would castrate themselves, they would begin to see the truth of circumcision: That it is nothing .

How did Ms. Tur—the daughter of legendary Los Angeles helicopter reporter Bob Tur—land such a lofty job at such a tender age? The Post reported that Ms. Tur had gotten the position "allegedly with [Mr. Olbermann's] help."
But as it turns out, Ms. Tur hasn't landed a news anchor job at all.
The Media Mob caught up with a CW11 spokesperson Jessica Bellucci this morning. According to Ms. Bellucci, Ms. Tur joined the station several weeks ago as a "freelance reporter," working on general assignment.
"She got the job on her own merit," said Ms. Bellucci.

The Making of the Common Law
€ 221,99

August 2003
BeschreibungEngland was unique among the medieval kingdoms of Western Europe. In addition to developing a system of national courts with an extensive original jurisdiction and run on quasi-bureaucratic lines by royal justices, it also gave birth to a single national customary law which was applicable throughout the country. This was partly the product of judicial decisions made by the royal courts and partly the product of legislation. The great formative period of the Commom Law began during the reign of King Henry II but continued through to the early fourteenth century. Paul Brand possesses an unrivalled knowledge of the published and unpublished sources for this critical period. The Making of the Common Law brings together his essays, some previously unpublished, on this period. The essays on the making of the English legal system (which complement his book on The Origins of the English Legal Profession) include an important essay on 'Henry II and the Creation of the English Common Law', and 'Courtroom and Schoolroom: The Education of Lawyers in England prior to 1400', the essay which won the 1988 Donald W. Sutherland Prize of the American Society for Legal History.The devlopment of English law is discussed in a number of essays including a critical introduction to the 'Milsom thesis' on the origins of England land law and 'Lordship and Distraint in Thirteenth-Century England', a major reappraisal of the balance of power between lords and tenants in this period.
The Common Law was taken by settler from England to North America and to Australasia. Its earliest venture overseas, however, was to Ireland. The Making of the Common Law includes a number of important essays on the transfer of English law and the creation of a legal system modelled on that of England in the medieval English lordship of Ireland.

Even Pollution-Fighting Drones Won't Save China's Cities
The environmental news from China doesn't get any better, with the official revelation that only three of the 74 major Chinese cities that are monitored for air quality have met national standards this year. They are: Hainan's capital Haikou, Zhoushan, an island city off Zhejiang's coast, and Tibet's capital Lhasa.
China's legislators said last week that they would strengthen environmental law enforcement this year, following Premier Li Keqiang's declaration of a "war on pollution" last Wednesday, but it won't be easy. Corruption is endemic throughout Chinese society.
According to Environment Minister Zhou Shengxian: "Companies illegally and stealthily emit pollutants. They fail to fulfill their social responsibilities. Secondly, some local governments protect those companies. They are still deeply influenced by the mindset of GDP growth-worship. Thirdly, the environmental authorities' supervision is not sufficient and in some cases nonexistent."
Sometimes, pollution is so bad that even bus drivers lose their way in the smog. Desperate officials are even considering sending drones out to spray chemicals into the smog that cause the particles to coagulate and fall to the ground. But the problem won't go away until the pollution is checked at source.

Local environmental enforcers in Beijing recently conducted spot checks and investigations of enterprises, including midnight raids. In North Beijing fines were issued to a central heating company for emitting six times the permitted amount of sulphur dioxide. "According to the new Air Pollution Control Regulations, the company will be fined 80 thousand yuan, and ordered to rectify the problem," said Zhong Chonglei, the inspection team's chief. "We will keep on tracking the company's progress. If it is found to be over-emitting after a second check, the fine will double."
Wu Xiaoqing, China's Deputy Minister for Environmental Protection, said at the weekend: "When we were chasing GDP growth, we were also paying the price of pollution, and this price is heavy, is massive".
The Ministry's anti-pollution drive is mainly focused on the heavy industrial areas around Beijing, Hebei and Tianjin, Shanghai and Guangdong. In these areas just 8% of China's land surface, 55% of national steel production, 40% of cement output and 52% of liquid fossil fuels are produced. Together they cause 30% of China's pollution with emissions at least five times higher than other regions. The most polluting plants and coal-burning power stations will be closed down.
But campaigners worry that this will only shift production to elsewhere in the country. For example in coal-rich regions like Inner Mongolia, Ningxia or Xinjiang, new coal-burning power stations are still planned.
Airpocalpse soon?
They say that central government doesn't have the will-power to really get to grips with the pollution problem, which they dub "airpocalpse".
China has a policy of buying the world's cheapest, and so most polluting, fuels. It is the world's largest buyer of the lowest grade of petroleum, which can have a sulphur content up to 15 times higher than that in the West.
Refining it to a higher standard would increase the price to consumers, which would cause inflation and social unrest, two other spectres which, up till now, the government has viewed with greater alarm than a pollution.
Corruption also means that fuel is often adulterated with even lower quality fuel, and a thriving black (sic) market means that the dirty fuels would still find their way into engines.
The problem is enforcement. Zhou Shengxian's Department is essentially toothless. Fines are not sufficient to act as a deterrent, and he would need an army of enforcers to do his job properly. And, of course, if too many polluting plants are closed down, the economy would grind to a halt.
But the cost to the environment is now threatening the Communist Party itself. At the People's Congress held last week, Chairman Zhang Dejiang (right), the third most powerful person in the Politburo Standing Committee, promised that combating pollution would be a top priority this year.
"We will revise the Environmental Protection Law and the Air Pollution Prevention and Control Law to improve environmental protection and management so that emissions of all pollutants are strictly supervised," Zhang said.
"[We will] enforce the strictest systems for protecting the environment by controlling pollution at the source, holding polluters accountable and ensuring that they compensate for the damage they cause," he added.
But few people believe this will happen. The NPC is seen as a "rubber stamp" body to the Communist Party. It has limited powers over central and provincial governments. And it was recently rocked by a corruption scandal in Hengyang, Hunan province, where 518 of the 527 members of the city's people's congress were accused of accepting bribes totalling more 110 million yuan in a cash-for-votes scandal.
One idea does raise hope amidst the gloom: to construct a high voltage power line to conduct pollution-free electricity from the solar and wind resource-which western regions to the central and coastal areas. This has been suggested by power distribution company State Grid Corporation's chairman Liu Zhenya at the People's Congress last week. He claimed that it would also result in cheaper power in Shanghai.
He said that if the ultrahigh voltage (UHV) grid connection plan were to be fully implemented, central and eastern regions' PM2.5 readings, the small particles of pollution thought to be most harmful to health, would fall by 28 per cent by 2020 compared to 2010.
But even this idea has its critics, who point out that it would make the recipient areas extremely vulnerable to power cuts were the line to develop a fault.
China has rushed so fast to pursue its growth agenda at any cost that stopping this runaway juggernaut is far from easy. And we all know what happens to runaway vehicles that can't stop.

DESIGNED to help young talent build their business over time, you can be sure there is precious little left of the £25,000 Blaak </B> raked in from their Vidal Sassoon Award this season. [b] Aaron Sharif, </B> the label's male half, played the Godfather backstage, proffering cash to models, helpers and DJ Seb Chew, who "does the music" for Chloe, according to stylist Andrew Davis. "I feel like some dodgy dealer," bleats Sharif, champagne bottle in one hand, sadly no big cigar in the other, before explaining how he and partner [b] Sachiko Okada have taken the street label to another level with Swarowski sponsorship, the lightest leather and most sumptuous silk, not to mention couture craftsmanship. Not that he wants people to think "Blaak think they're really special". Clearly excited about all the support, he kisses his Mum and thanks his sponsors - blah-di-blah - but did the clothes live up to the hype? With Africaaaaa the theme, huge black circular earrings and black wooden beads clattered over pintucked black leather Alaia-style dresses to the sound of "Black is black is black is black". Slick start. Along trotted simple jersey dresses with scarf-tied fronts or backs. Good commercially. Later came satin pieces laden with beads like huge strings of jewels. Stunning. Ignoring the sudden glut of ruched lace and a dodgy lime/brown/raspberry colour combo that would make Bertie Bassett jump back in his box, Blaak proved they had it in them to shift from small fry to big time. Conclusion? The boy and girl done good. By Lucy Ryder Richardson (19 September 2001, PM)

As I said in my goals, I just finished my freshman year of college, with all of the added weight and out-of-shape-ness that it entails, and I'm looking to drop back into a healthy weight and get back in shape, hopefully to start rock climbing again (these piles of pullups with DEFINITELY help me with that goal).
Starting stats (as of a few weeks ago, before I started):
male, 19 years old, 5'4"
waist ???, weight: 150ish pounds
(after a few weeks of watching what I eat, and 2 weeks of working out):
still male! still 19! still 5'4" (sigh)
still no idea what my waist size is.
141 pounds (yay!)
BF 19.8% on a cheap electronic scale thing. Probably not accurate.
I finished L1 this week (2'29" day 3) and I'm looking forward to tackling level 2 next week. This is fun...

Investors have until May 28 to come forward and declare if they've engaged in dividend washing, without being hit with big tax penalties.
The Tax Office has released its final ruling on the controversial practice of dividend washing – where investors trade franking credits, allowing some shareholders to receive two sets of franking credits effectively for the same parcel of shares.
The public ruling confirms that tax commissioner
The Tax Office first warned in October that such schemes are not allowable.
Deputy commissioner Tim Dyce said public consultation was undertaken on a draft ruling issued in January and more recently 3000 letters were sent to taxpayers who may be involved in dividend washing arrangements.
"During this time, we have encouraged people to self-amend their tax returns with no penalty being imposed," Mr Dyce said. "This offer to all taxpayers has been extended until May 28."
Dividend washing occurs when a taxpayer sells shares in a company on the ordinary market after a franked dividend has been announced. Within days, they buy back a similar parcel of shares in the same company on the "special market", which entitles them to the franked dividend on these shares.
Costing $20 million a year
Mr Dyce said the anti-avoidance legislation had always applied to dividend washing arrangements.
The public ruling states that the franking credit anti-avoidance rule will generally apply to a dividend washing arrangement to deny the franking credit benefit on the second parcel of shares.
"This [ruling] supports our position that getting two sets of franking credits on what is essentially one parcel of shares is not allowed," Mr Dyce said.
The law will apply to investors who have franking credit tax offset entitlements in excess of $5000 (small shareholders will be excluded) – both retrospectively and prospectively.
Treasury estimated the practice of dividend washing costs $20 million a year and said that would likely grow if no action is taken to address the problem.
The practice, first revealed in The Australian Financial Review, led to Labor's inclusion of a dividend washing crackdown in the previous federal budget.
Then in November Treasurer
The Institute of Chartered Accountants Australia's head of tax policy Michael Croker said the Tax Office had a "good understanding of the taxpayers who have engaged in this strategy".
"The ATO's ruling highlights the importance of getting tax advice before entering into arrangements offering attractive tax benefits," he said.
Taxpayers wishing to self-amend can call the Tax Office on 1800 177 006.

By Judith E. Glaser
Are your people afraid?
I'm not asking if they're scared of you because you are a bully. (You aren't, are you?)
Nor am I talking about the fear that comes from worrying about being punished for a well-thought-out plan or product launch that fails. Plenty of literature exists on why you need to encourage (small) failures, and how you can help your employees do their jobs better.
I am talking about something much more visceral: anxiety caused by the concern that something drastically harmful — such as a layoff, firing, pay cut, or demotion — is going to happen. Everyone is fragile at the core. We all worry that tomorrow will be our last day. Fear impedes people from doing their best work.
How can you, as a leader, eliminate it? Here are four ways:
1. Be present. Your people spend an inordinate amount of time watching everything you do. If you are almost always behind closed doors, don't seem to be listening during conversations, spend a lot of time reminiscing about the way things used to be, or talk about a future that seems unconnected to the present, people are going to read things into your actions and words and make stuff up. Typically, what they imagine won't be positive.
To make yourself present in the eyes of your reports, you need to make yourself open to others by being tuned into your relationship environment. You may need to have a talk you didn't plan on having with a staffer. Or get sidetracked by a needy employee who distracts you from grandiose thoughts. Welcome to life in the big city. Business is about people. It's about how we handle our relationships with others.
2. Tell people where they stand. As leaders, we resist doing this because we fear it will lead to broken relationships, feelings of rejection, and messes we can't fix. So we don't raise certain issues. Yet people need to know where they stand so they can do something about it. Once they know, they often discover that their imagined fears were much worse than reality.
3. Provide context in every communication. A picture with a frame becomes a different picture. Without background, fear can be elevated by confusion and uncertainty.
A technology company I'm working with is growing rapidly. Sales have tripled in two years and now top $1 billion. The chief financial officer, who came from a large company in anticipation of this kind of growth, brought with him his "big company" mindset. One of the first things he told his staff was: "Go out and hire your replacement."
He thought his message was clear: "I want you to hire someone capable of filling your shoes because given all this growth — and how wonderful you all are — I anticipate promoting each and every one of you."
His staff heard: "Hire your replacement because none of you are good enough and you all will be fired soon."
Not surprisingly, his employees grew anxious. Morale and performance suffered. When I explained to the CFO what his people had heard, he instantly understood what he had done. He called a meeting to explain that he wanted his people to go out and search for their own replacements as part of planning for the future and to make it easier for him to promote them when the time was right.
Putting this context around the statement was not only less frightening, it also made people feel good about themselves and the company — and more secure about their role in the growth process. Not surprisingly, fear receded and performance improved.
Context can make things that are bad seem right — or at least far less worrisome.
4. Use honesty at all times. No one likes to tell the truth when it will hurt someone or make that person look bad. So we fudge. As adults, we should know better. Often we don't. When the truth surfaces, the impact is twice as bad as it would have been without the fibs.
At all times, tell the truth — tactfully and within the appropriate context. Context, in this case, does not mean spin. Don't make a situation sound better than it is, even if you can. As a leader, you can have no greater resource than a high-performing team. If you are honest, you'll admit that there are times — maybe far too often — when the people who work for you are not producing their best work. Check to see if fear is one reason.

People using the expressway to get to Hawke's Bay Airport during the next four days are being advised to set out a little earlier as there are likely to be delays caused by roadworks.
Resealing, which will be followed by new road-marking, will be taking place at various sites along SH2, SH2B and SH50 between the Meeanee Rd interchange and the airport.
Work is set to get under way on Saturday and is scheduled to continue through to next Tuesday.
"Caution and patience will be required and any airport-bound traffic is urged to make allowances for delays," an NZTA spokesman said.
Minor delays can also be expected around Pandora Rd, Meeanee Quay, Prebensen Drive and Severn and Thames St next Wednesday evening as a triathlon takes place.
On SH2 between Napier and Gisborne work on five new passing opportunities is continuing.
There are work sites at Tutira Hill, Waihua Hill 17km south of Wairoa and 3km north of the Morere Springs - extra care will be required at the Morere site.
Tree felling is taking place at White Pine Bush, 30km north of Napier, and at Matahorua, 4km south of Putorino, while guardrail replacement work is under way at Devil's Elbow.
Speed restrictions are in place and there are likely to be minor delays.
Delays can also be expected on SH2 south where contractors are installing a guardrail on the Tutaekuri River Bridge between Awatoto and Clive as well as highway guardrails 5km south of Pakipaki.
On SH5 between Napier and Taupo, road maintenance is being carried out on several sites between the Esk Valley and Te Haroto, as well as on the Rangitaiki Plains near Taupo. Speed restrictions are in place.
Roadworks are also taking place on SH38 between Wairoa and Lake Waikaremoana with only minor delays expected.

Worldview in Painting: Art and Society Selected Papers, Volume V
€ 29,49
Lieferbar innert 2 Wochen
November 1999
BeschreibungHow can we profitably compare art and philosophy? In the first part of this collection of twenty-one writings, many previously unpublished, Schapiro uses specific works of art to elucidate the rich variety of ways in which artists and art movements have been compared with philosophical systems. His highly lucid arguments, graceful prose, and extraordinary erudition offer new opportunities to broaden and enrich our understanding of even the most familiar works of art.In the second part of the collection, Schapiro explores aspects of our everyday experiences with art: the value of modern art, social realism, revolutionary art, art as a cause of violence, the art market, the public support of artists, public art commissions, church art, and others. Here, in essays that range in a period of more than forty years, we witness Schapiro's unfailing dedication both to the liberty of the artist and to the integration of the arts in society.Throughout all of his writings, Schapiro provides us with a means of ordering our past that is reasoned and passionate, methodical and inventive. In so doing, he revitalizes our faith in the unsurpassed importance of critical thinking and creative independence.

Ensuring the Bali accused get a fair go
Page Tools
The evidentiary processes in the Bali drug cases may be alien to Australians, but are they fair?
The intense public interest in the trial of Schapelle Corby in Bali and the case being built against nine other young Australians alleged to be involved in drug trafficking there has manifold consequences. Because these matters are being processed by the Indonesian legal system, the rules are somewhat different. From an Australian perspective, one could almost be forgiven for believing there are no rules, so free appears the information flow about these cases.
Much of the confusion stems from the fact that the Indonesian criminal justice system proceeds on an entirely different basis from that in Australia. As a former Dutch colony, its criminal code follows European law rather than the adversarial model of common-law countries. The onus of proof is reversed, with the accused required to adduce evidence of their innocence, rather than the prosecution needing to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
There is no jury trial; instead, guilt or innocence is determined by a panel of judges. They are not arbiters, but inquisitors in search of facts. In court proceedings, judges will allow much into evidence that would not be permitted in an Australian court. The view is taken that the judges will determine the relevance or otherwise of submissions at a later point in proceedings.
In recent years, there have been significant reforms within the Indonesian judicial system. A greater premium has been placed upon improving the standard of judicial training. There has also been greater co-operation at an international level between law enforcement agencies. Australia has worked co-operatively with Indonesia in these areas for some years. The recent experience of the trial of the Bali bombers gave some indication of a criminal justice system increasingly capable of producing outcomes that Indonesians as well as Australians consider satisfactory.
There are, however, some worrying aspects surrounding both the Corby case and the investigation of the so-called "Bali nine". These include surprising levels of public access to the accused, along with the release of highly incriminatory video and other evidence into the public domain.
This somewhat looser approach to evidence may help explain why Indonesian police, defence lawyers and other officials appear to play almost a lobbying role during the pre-trial phase. There is a risk, however, that Australian authorities and the vocal supporters of the accused may be sucked into this vortex of publicity, claim and counter-claim.
The Chief Commissioner of the Australian Federal Police, Mick Keelty, has warned that to "parade evidence in the public" may be counter-productive. The accused, rather than helping their cases by pleading them directly in public, may be doing their defence irreparable harm.
Irrespective of guilt or innocence, it is incumbent both upon the Indonesian authorities and the Australian Government to ensure that the accused in both these matters are dealt with fairly and according to law. There must be some question as to whether the present processes fully achieve this.

Late Night Stampers - favorite Color Combo for Christmas this year
Before I share my card today I wanted to show you the process used to make my stuffed ham. You begin by parboiling cabbage, onions, red pepper, and mustard seed until the cabbage is soft. Take your ham and cut slits in it so you can stuff the cabbage mixture in the slits.
After you get your cabbage mixture stuffed in the slits and packed around the ham you tie it up in a large piece of unbleached muslin. Then you put it in a big pot on the stove and bring it to a boil. Turn the temperature down so it continues to soft boil. You boil it for 4 - 5 hours depending on the size of your ham - I had a 22 1/2 pound ham so I cooked mine for 5 hours.
After it has cooked you need to hang it so the excess water can drain out. I usually hand mine between 2 chairs using a sawed off tool handle. It has to drain for about 4 hours.
Once you have drained it, you need to take the fabric off of the ham and place it on a platter. After it cools in the refrigerator you can then slice it and eat it.
Now for those who don't really care about my stuffed ham. Here is my card for today.
Do you have a favorite color combo that you like to use for Christmas? This year we have some great colors with the new in-colors.
Our challenge this week is all about favorite color combos. We were to create a project using our favorite Christmas Color Combo this year. Several years ago I made a card using pink and green - at the time it was the old colors so mine was Mellow Moss and Pretty in Pink. I have loved that color combination and have used a green and a pink for a Christmas sample each year. This year I decided to use Pretty in Pink and pair it with Always Artichoke. I love this color combination also.
I stamped my image on Very Vanilla as white would have been too harsh. I used blender pens to color it in. Love how you can get a soft color with the blender pens. Here is my creation.
inside of card and envelope
I am so looking forward to eating some of this ham. This is usually a traditional holiday recipe for the native countians in St. Mary's County. Typically we do not serve it other than Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter. It is great as a sandwich on Wonder White bread.
Thanks for looking and have a Marvelous Monday!

Love your color combination for Christmas, very pretty and yes, the blender pens make for a soft effect. Cabbage adds great flavor to almost everything. You do have a lot of patience for that process, though. I bet it is good. Happy Thanksgiving.

Your ham recipe sounds yummy, but it sure is a lot of work! I'll just come to your home to eat.....
Your Christmas card is awesome. The colors look so very nice.
Thanks for sharing both with us.

Cancer specialists in Kentucky say the disease has frequently progressed to stage 3 or stage 4 by the time it is found. Dr. Daniel Metzinger of the Brown Cancer Center in Louisville says the disease can spread relatively quickly. He's one of the interview guests in our special two part report on ovarian cancer. Ovarian Cancer Awareness Seminar Scheduled By Dan Modlin • Sep 5, 2012 Researchers say ovarian cancer can be difficult to detect and treat. However, Dr. Daniel Metzinger of the James Graham Brown Cancer Center in Louisville believes the medical field is finding more effective ways to prolong the lives of those with the disease. He believes new strategies need to be developed to help with early diagnosis. A number of public awareness activities are scheduled in the region during the month of September, and an ovarian cancer awareness seminar will be held in Bowling Green on September 15th. Dr.

vinyl over vinyl (flooring)
vinyl over vinyl?
Hey guys, I am a paper hanger, painter by trade but my wife wants a new floor in the basement and I have a question or two. The existing floor is 9 by 9 inch tile(old from the 40's, I would guess, so no doubt asbestos)I did the laundry room area by removing the old tile which came up fairly easily( except for the black glue) and replaced with ceramic, but it is kind of thick and would be expensive to replace the entire basement with. I was wondering about the self stick tile I saw at Blows. Could I just put this on top of the existing or as with wallpaper is it better to remove to old tile? Would regular tile be better?I know the floor has to be almost perfectly smooth for tile as I did my kitchen and ANY piece of crud shows through, that is why I was thinking about going over the existing. Also, just to add , this room CAN get flooded ,it has only happened once in 25 years but I am thinking that this would eliminate ANY type wood product. Any ideas or tips are welcome, thanks.
I'd suggest a fiberfloor like IVC. It's a soft back sheet vinyl. Made from a Fiberglass core. You can loose lay it though I recommend a full glue. If it's vinyl tile you have down now, some minor patching may be in order but the IVC will glue right over it. Best part is this stuff is virtually impervious to water. I've seen a place get flooded with it and they just pull it out, let it dry and reinstall it.

Has the upcoming big screen version of "Fifty Shades of Grey" found its Christian Grey and a director?
According to The Wrap, director Gus Van Sant has shot a racy test sex scene featuring "Magic Mike" star Alex Pettyfer as the book's BDSM-loving lead.
A source said the sex scene shot was with Anastasia Steele, who is a virgin until she meets the billionaire playboy. No word on who stepped in (and undressed) with Pettyfer for the racy clip.
PHOTOS: Fifty Shades Of Grey: The Celeb Fans & Fantasy Castings
The source said the director and actor have not been selected by Universal to head up the project based on the E L James bestseller.
However, Pettyfer is currently starring in the Universal remake of "Endless Love."

A rep for Universal told the Wrap they have not commissioned any test shoots or lined up any directors or actors for the project.

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
Bad news for Red, the Bono-inspired, star-studded ad campaign to sell Gap t-shirts, andoh, yesraise some money for the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. Despite all the hype, its total contribution to the Fund so far has been a paltry $18 million. A Global Fund spokesman explains to Ad Age that this was to be expected: "Red has done as much as we could have hoped for in the short time it has been up and running.... The launch cost of this kind of campaign is going to be hugely frontloaded." Translation: Most of the money raised has been blown on ad budgets by Gap, Motorola, Armani, Apple, and other companies that are taking a cut from selling Red stuff. To give you a sense of just how big the corporate cut is, for every special edition Red iPod nano sold, Apple donates just $10.
This isn't the first time an altruistic corporate campaign has been revealed to be too good to be truewe collected some other examples in our November issue. But there's an easy way to not get snooke(red)cut out the middleman and give directly to the Global Fund. Visit buylesscrap.org to find out how.

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! Contact us, or contact another local humane society, animal shelter or SPCA.
Cats: Adoption fee includes spay/neuter, vaccines. dewprming. vet checked and leukemia tested.
Our pets adoption fees will vary from pet to pet based on the amount of vetting that is needed. Also there may be pets that have been sponsered or partially sponsered which effects the fees. Contact us and let us know which pet you are interested in and we can let you know what the fee is
An adoption contract is required and a home visit may be done prior to placement.
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder? When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
