Disposing of Old Medicines
Submitted: 01/11/2013
- A new study says the vast majority of prescription and over-the-counter drugs in Wisconsin are not being disposed of properly.
The study recommends boosting programs that collect unused household meds.
These programs keep more of those drugs out of the environement, and the hands of people who would abuse them.
The study estimates about 118.8 million prescriptions and over-the-counter medications.
That's 13.1 million pounds � were dispensed and sold in Wisconsin in 2010.
Of those one-third, or 4.4 million pounds, went unused.
Only two percent were collected for safe disposal.
You can find more informatnion about safe perscription drug take-back programs on the DNR's website.
Many local police departments also participate.

Wisconsin Democrats view Republican Gov. Walker as beatable
Submitted: 05/28/2017
- Wisconsin Democrats say they are increasingly optimistic about their chances of knocking of Republican Gov. Scott Walker next year, even though a top tier candidate has yet to emerge and they're still recovering from a devastating 2016 election.
Democrats are gathering this weekend for the Wisconsin state party convention. They say liberals are energized in opposition both to President Donald Trump and Republicans closely tied to him like Walker.
Walker's approval rating has been below 50 percent since early 2014.
But their recent track record hasn't been good. Democrats are still trying to recover from Trump becoming the first Republican presidential candidate to carry Wisconsin since 1984. And Walker has been challenged plenty but has won three elections since 2010.

- Memorial Day gives us the chance to remember those who died while serving our country. On Saturday, hundreds gathered at a Northwoods ceremony to pay their respects.
"It's an observance. It's not a celebration. It hurts too much to celebrate," said United States Marine Tim Bahr. "If we don't talk about those who gave it their all, who's going to? For us Memorial Day is pretty much every day."

Man charged after police find 133 pounds of high-grade marijuana following Antigo-area car crash
Submitted: 05/26/2017
Play Video
- When police showed up to a car crash near Antigo this week, the driver seemed discombobulated and out of sorts. Sunday night, Pao Vang, 33, told officers he had just flown in from vacation with someone else, even though he was the only one in the car. But it's what officers did find in that car soon after that has Vang in trouble.
Police towed the car from an intersection near the Langlade County Airport (where Vang said he just came from) to a nearby gas station. There, officers noticed bags full of what appeared to be marijuana sticking out of duffel bags in plain sight. They got a search warrant and found 133 pounds of high-grade marijuana.

Case closed: DA's office won't charge Schneider in It Matters to One animal mistreatment investigation
Submitted: 05/26/2017
- Stephanie Schneider will not face criminal charges for animal mistreatment.
After more than three months of waiting for a decision on potential prosecution, Oneida County Assistant District Attorney Mary Sowinski announced her choice not to press charges on Friday afternoon.
Schneider was the operator of It Matters to One, a dog rescue operation in Sugar Camp. In February, sheriff's deputies seized 39 of her dogs, later arresting Schneider and recommending animal mistreatment charges.
Sowinski wouldn't give a reason why she decided not to press charges against Schneider.

The Rhinelander Veterans Affairs Clinic helps a Veteran walk on her own again
Submitted: 05/26/2017
- Five years ago Army veteran Beth Bowman was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and lost her ability to walk on her own.
It was crushing news to the once active 43- year- old veteran.
But this week she tried out a new device at the Rhinelander Veterans Affairs Clinic that gives her a new outlook on life.
"She has very limited or no use of some leg muscles," said Rhinelander V.A. Physical Therapist Dr. Wesley Spurgeon.
The disease broke down the ability for her brain to talk to the nerves in her legs.
She went from a cane to crutches to a wheelchair.
"It was kind of crushing, I was using a cane within a year of my diagnosis," said Bowman.
Last month Spurgeon offered some hope to Bowman.
He learned about a nerve stimulator at a class.
"We place electrodes over the top of the muscle we want to stimulate," said Spurgeon.

Our first challenge is all about reducing your food waste. As you may already have noticed, earlier this month the wonderful Zoe Williams accepted our writer's challenge – to live for a week on just the contents of her store cupboards and her vegetable box. (After much negotiation, we conceded that she could also buy milk. And cheese. Okay, the occasional egg. But that is absolutely it!) We blogged her progress here together with some of your most helpful tips and ideas.
Your challenge: not to throw away any leftovers or edible food for one week.
Think you can do it?
What you'll get: It's free to join a challenge. All you have to do is register or sign in to the Guardian which takes a few seconds. The benefits of joining a challenge and becoming part of the Live Better community are:
• You'll get a free weekly newsletter with the latest news and articles, full of hints and tips to help you survive the challenge and enjoy sustainable living
• Automatic entry to our monthly competitions to win brilliant sustainable living prizes
• Access to the Live Better community - allowing you to comment on the site and share your own Live Better experiences
• You will save money! Sustainable living doesn't just help the environment, it is a more affordable way to live too.
• Guaranteed self satisfaction, obviously!
You can also win: everyone that joins the challenge is also entered into our challenge competition. At the end of the challenge month, we'll pick one challenger at random to win a consultation with the award-winning Dinner Doctor, with five more winning a copy of The Kitchen Revolution cookbook by Rosie Sykes, Polly Russell and Zoe Heron. Terms and conditions here.
We want you to come up with ingenious ways to use up your mashed potato, to work out the correct portions so that you're not scraping plates into the bin, to eat the last slice on the loaf, or to use up that last, blackened banana in the bowl. You can even try stepping it up to the next level and eating nothing but the food in your kitchen for the next week, and skipping the usual run to the shops. There's always more at the back of those cupboards than you imagine.
It may all seem like small fry – what's one banana among friends? But it really adds up. The average UK household throws away 5kg of food a week – the equivalent of a whole chicken, garnished with 22 carrots and 11 potatoes, every week. If just 100 of us sign up, that will be 500kg less waste. If 500 people sign up that would be an amazing 2,500kg of waste.
After all, food waste is not just a bad habit; it's one of the most pressing environmental issues in the world today. In his ground-breaking 2009 book Waste, Tristram Stuart recounted that the organisation Wrap (Waste & Resource Action Programme) had calculated UK household waste to be the equivalent of 18 million tonnes of carbon dioxide per year – that's the same as the emissions produced by 21% of the cars on our roads. He points out that Wrap and the Department of Agriculture in the US have estimated that "10% of all greenhouse gas emissions in these two countries come from producing, transporting, storing and preparing food that is never eaten".
But organisations such as Wrap, their offshoot Love Food Hate Waste, 10:10, Sustain, Friends of the Earth, Feeding the 5000, the Sustainable Restaurant Association and others have done a brilliant job of raising awareness about this subject over the past decade. A 2012 Wrap report revealed that, since 2007, the amount of household food waste in the UK has reduced by 21%. That's a lot of progress, but there is more to be done.
So what's the best way to reduce our food waste? The five keys, according to Wrap, are "planning, portioning, storage, date labels, and leftovers".
All, some or none of these may work for you, but planning your weekly menus, making sure you get your portions right, storing food appropriately so you get the maximum from it, knowing what "best by" and "sell by" dates really mean, and using up your leftovers, and the food at the back of your cupboards, really will make a difference to the amount of food you throw away.
This month we'll look at all of these ways – and more – to reduce food waste, with delicious leftover recipes from the UK's best chefs, energetic discussions about menu planning, and your top tips, too.
Please send us your ideas and shortcuts; email us at firstname.lastname@example.com or tweet us @GdnLiveBetter. We look forward to hearing from you.

Fucking customs officers. Sons o' cows are so— "damn slow!" Simeon yelled. The officer closest to him didn't look best pleased. They stood, three officers and himself, in the storage room of his ship. It was a large space, filled with boxes of fruit and some spices and even jewellery. Two of the men were at the far end of the room, reopening boxes, re-ruffling through a mound of furs.
"Mind your tongue dog, unless you want to find yourself in chains." The nearest officer, with slicked back blonde hair, answered. All the officers wore the same crimson and gold brocade doublets uniform with knives at their hips and special rings on their fingers. They weren't so tough. Simeon could take them, he guessed. But if he started anything now, he could miss a grand opportunity.
He tried to calm down, normally the ship rocking underfoot, with that familiar sway, worked like a lullaby. But it was not enough to soothe his foul mood today. The officers had taken one look at his ship from afar and had stopped him leaving the docks 'till they had scoured every inch. Simeon hadn't been to Popping-by-the-Sea for many years, not since the Barbaran Uprising when the vassal Lord took his host north and left the town ripe for plunder. Surely Ol' Lord Weston aint still sore about that?
Regardless, they couldn't do anything to Simeon unless they found some proof, and they wouldn't find squat here. He hoped that was riling them up. But they've been bloody searching for "three hours! Is this really necessary?" the same officer narrowed his eyes at Simeon, but said nothing. "I do have a lot o' have customers to sell to, y'know, a living to earn and the like—"
"—silence scum. We know just what you are and we'll keep you in irons all night if that's how long it takes. Seems to me as you might as well confess." The beginnings of a smile crept onto the man's face.
"Bugger it, you wait!" Simeon felt his own face redden deeply. They were intentionally taking the piss. "I'll petition to your Lord about this." he felt his fist clench and unclench, trying to release some rage before he decked the man.
The guard let out a long, slow laugh designed to bait him. If he punched the officer, he'd go straight to jail, pirate or no. "Our word against yours, scum." Then the officer scratched his chin. "Let me see your papers again."
"You already read them three times!" but he grabbed them from on top of a nearby box and smacked them into the waiting, open palm. The officer licked his thumb, his eyes lazily drifting across the page. As he did so, Simeon decided it was time for a different tactic.
He leant against the same box. "You know, I'm sure you guys are too busy to be spending a whole day searching one ship. What's say we grab you an ale and be on our way." The officer raised an eyebrow, but kept his attention seemingly on the papers. "Maybe I'll even reward you for your good work."
The officer finally looked up. "Oh, so tempting. Or we could take your whole ship and keep the coin for ourselves. You being in prison would just make that day all the brighter. The world needs less of people like you." Simeon could have laughed at that, and said the exact same back.
"Not without that proof though, eh?" Simeon stood right in front of the officer, whose hand moved straight for his knife. "And if it comes to that..." he looked down briefly and laughed. "Well I'd do anything for this ol' gal. I'd kill for her." His voice was little more than a whisper.
The officer's own voice broke slightly as he tried to speak, he coughed and began again. "Is that a threat, sir?"
A threat could land him a fine, if not a pair of manacles. Being intimidating within the law was a real pain. "I don't do threats, I'd like it if you boys left, and soon." He stepped closer, as if that were possible, and the man retreated a step. He was almost shaking.
"Make us," he spoke, his voice quite the squeak. Simeon hadn't noticed he was now surrounded. And he had no weapons either. Cowards, I could still take them all though.
And the other two began to advance.

Thank you, Duke.comments powered by Disqus
Posted on Monday, December 22 2008 @ 13:17:53 PST
Thank you, Duke.
Thank you so much for mentioning obscure games like "Personal Trainer Cooking" on the podcast. Yeah, it does seem kind of weird that the editor in chief of Game Revolution is a cooking fiend, but hey, to each their own. I do have to say though, if you never mentioned the DS title on the podcast, I would of brushed it off as another piece of shovelware on a Nintendo system.
Boy was I wrong.
I guess coming from a twenty-two year old that never took home-ec classes (I blame the catholic school system, damn St. Peters.) I can safely say my cooking skills are lacking. Hell, they are downright atrocious. If I try to pour a bowl of cornflakes they would spontaneously combust for all of my luck. I can barely make a grilled cheese sandwich, and that alone is sad.
But after the podcast where you mentioned "Personal Trainer Cooking" I decided to give it a shot. I shelled out $21.66 for the DS title (which I have to say, is selling rather well right now.) and gave it a whirl, and I was amazed as to how easy the menu's were, how detailed the instructions are, and how simple it is to make dishes with the bare minimum of supplies.
While it is not a typical game, and therefore it really doesn't get a review from me as I normally would, I do recommend the game for anyone who doesn't know how to cook. It will teach you. I promise.
The first thing I did was learning a simple dish like rice. Yes, I even can't make that on my own. Following the instructions and burning myself once or twice, it took me a good hour to conjure up the lovely white grains from the pot I put on the stove. And you know what, they tasted damn good. Really good. It was not burnt, not soft either, but just right. And upon hearing the clapping coming from the audience in the DS speakers, a wave of accomplishment swept over me. I felt like I have done something I never thought I could do, something I could enjoy doing independently for myself, instead of relying on subway sandwiches or pre-made turkey breast. I felt like I could finally learn how to cook.
Hey, someone needs to start somewhere. And while a lot of the recipes in the game I will never even eat, mainly because I am a picky eater who hates the taste of read meat and hates eating soup, I will make sure to keep making the simple stuff before I graduate onto something bigger, some delicious morsel I can impress my friends and family with one night while they are out.
So thank you, Duke, for mentioning the game on the podcast. Sometimes, it's the more obscure games that actually can teach you something tangible, or interest you in some way to expand your skill set, so to speak. I hope to see some review of it on the website (and of "What's Cooking with Bobby Flay," only for balances sake.) and more obscure games that the general gaming public may not know about, or even let alone care for.

Discussion in 'The Logo Creator Gallery' started by DogStar, Jan 2, 2004.
IACP store design time
This one as a jpeg
and it worked! :banana
GREAT JOB!! I'm a big animal lover :)
Thanks Hexastar!
Some of the text came though a light lumpy/sloppy but the original is clean. FWIW I am a pro dog trainer and am working on a series of dog related websites and projects.
Hope to use TLC for a lot of stuff for them. I will post some here of course.
P.S. The logo in my avatar is done from my dog Braveheart, female Pittie, and I had the logo done professionally.
looks pretty good.. a few things that might make it even better....
perhaps make the letters stand out by shadowing them or outlining them (the big IACP letters). Also.. something behind them.. the dog faces are great! But the white space behind the letters (between the dogs) hmmm... well looks like there should be something else behind those letters with the dogs. does that make sense? maybe just putting a background behind all the letters or something.
ah well.. just a few thoughts. glad you figured out how to post it though! :)
Separate names with a comma.

|This is a discussion on PLAY FREEROLLS within the online poker forums, in the Learning Poker section; The (free at the entrance, but with cash prizes) Freeroll tournaments are a great opportunity for beginners poker players wanting to practice your poker game.
The (free at the entrance, but with cash prizes) Freeroll tournaments are a great opportunity for beginners poker players wanting to practice your poker game. However there are some tips that you must follow before venturing into the freerolls.Primero that nothing have to be prepared to lose. As negative as it sounds, you have to know that even the best poker players are struggling to win this type of tournament, because luck is a big factor, as well as experience, personal situation (nerves, concentration, observation) etc. Play with a winning spirit but do not be discouraged because you will lose many tournaments and then make the experience to win other and increase your account.
You can not control your luck but you can improve your game by participating in many freerolls. Another tip is to play that many freerolls and play well. Many novice players believe they will make fortunes from nothing playing in freerolls and not even care to play a good game. Take it as a good opportunity to practice, do not think money is at stake and that ultimately even you are risking your own.
Begin playing poker game a little aggressively. The players of the poker table that have been lucky with your cards, be putting all his chips at once, make them bet heavily until they run out of chips and withdraw. Thus you despejarás the table.
If you look around a table in a freeroll you will see that some poker players are sitting but not play in any hands. This is because they scored in the tournament but will not play. These players are easy to keep their blinds white. Simply double your bet pre-flop in this way not only will stay with you more points but will expedite the drawing table players who are not participating
With these few tips you can participate in free poker tournaments have the opportunity to earn some money.
good luck!!
totally acceptable opinion.i keep believin that i ve made more money from freerolls than money tourneys and i also think that the greatest poker i have played is in freerolls.i may also have played the worst due to lack of sleep,luck etc but generally i use to play good poker in freerolls and take n give many lessons from this type of tourneys
I'm actually pretty curious if someone would elaborate on their early and middle game freeroll strategy. I feel like I make more money in cash tournaments than freerolls despite the fact that I can often go deep in freerolls. I feel like I consistently get knocked out just prior to the bubble (whether it be cash or tickets to other tournaments) in freerolls. I feel like the freeroll bubble basically turns into a game a luck (who can actually hit their all-in when it seems like all but 1 person at the table has less than 10 BB remaining).
If you are successful at freerolls then I would love to hear your strategy suggestions.
re: Poker & PLAY FREEROLLS
Not all free rolls are the same, say you get many freerolls at FTP and used to be in Pokerstars daily, but they are for anyone passing by, so many players play them as a roulette or worst, for this kind of freerolls you need a lot of luck and I will agree are useless.
On the other hand there are freerolls in which you need to classify to be able to participate, those are better to play and practice your skills. within this group you get the Coin freerolls, weekly phase 2 freerolls and on top of them Cardschat Club freerolls with better players, where you can build up your bankroll step by step and learn some tips.
Yes, it's true that a lot of the totally 'free' freerolls are played by a lot of 'bingo' players but that doesn't mean that you should be one of them too. Anyways as the tournament progresses a better poker follows. Personally I like them because that is where I started playing poker and learned the most.
I totally agree !! But in freeroll,many people,just first hand go all in with J-6 just like i have AA haha,and after i call because i know this person not have strong hand,and I call with AK,and what flop JJ9,ok and like this many time in start tournament, every hand in begin all in ,all in....and this is when freeroll is with many people,not pay for this and go all in with every hand.. I like freeroll,is chanse to win,practise
re: Poker & PLAY FREEROLLS
The freebuys on ACR right now are super crazy, i've cashed 300$ out of them already, super soft fields, i'd recommend for people who dont even play on acr to just make an acr account just to play int he freebuys,
The "freebuy super series" continues on for about 5 more days and one of them is 20,000$ GTD.
Look into it everyone!
Well. I guess if you play good and take your shots, sooner or later you will win in freeroll, just need to stick with your game and use your best odds. In freeroll is many monkeys ,who don't care they chips, so I better don't risk with my chips even with AK in the very start of the freeroll because even if i'm favorite, i dont need to risk with all my stack in some kind of flip.
When blinds are bigger and u have like 10-30BB it's already better to try your luck with AK flips, but still don't need to play like monkey and when get those cards ,without thinnking go all in.
Just as I see freeroll is - 1st hour don't rush, let the biggest fishes get caught - 2.hour start playing your game ( I pretend to be agressor in table, but it's useless when no one cares his stack.
Yes agreed but in this kind of turnaments is a lot of crazy people who go all in with really bad hands and worst thing is that they win a lot of hands so only thing I don't agrre is that is a good place for begginers because they see this idi ots and what they can learn ???
GL at the tables and have a good day
Hey there im new

Advances in anti-missile capabilities give the lie to your theory. USA has around six thousand nukes.Russia has twelve thousand.The Russians have found that missiles that intercept other missiles are getting cheaper to make, and lasers are cheaper yet.No technology remains inviolate forever.

I know some disagree and don't like the concept, but peace through superior firepower works. That is what kept the world safe during the Cold War. We kept manned interceptors on alert. We had our entire bomber force on constant alert. 9/11 was a success for the terrorist in part because of our having no fighters sitting for scramble. With the old Cold War over some think we can just sit back and relax. I believe in having a strong enough defense to stand off any nation that wishes us ill. Now I know this sounds conflicting with my reluctance to go to war in a hurry. I don't think money better spent on our own country should be wasted in brush wars in the mid east or anywhere else. But we should be strong enough to stand off any direct threat. Build defensive forces, build the economy, put people back to work. Those are the main things to accomplish to make this nation safe and strong.

Agree EXCEPT: Fighters were airborne on 9.11.01 and in a holding pattern off Long Island, armed , ready, and waiting for orders which never came. HW Bush was having breakfast with a Bin Laden family member, Dubya was doing a pr photo op at a Florida school and Cheany was hiding. But lets pretend that didn't happen and that our present president is worse than that. How much worse than that could anyone get?

Not totally correct.I know that day very well. The fighters that arrived off New York were delayed in getting airborne. They then had typical FAA red tape issues on going through the Mach to speed up their response. The first aircraft in the air were F-15A aircraft from Otis ANG Base in Mass. Later North Dakota Air National Guard F-16 aircraft that were TDY at Langley scrambled. The whole response was caught pants down. The F-16 Wings at Atlantic City and Andrews could have responded faster, but both Wings were in a stand down from alert duty that day.The North Dakota Air Guard aircraft once airborne took up a CAP orbit over D.C. and then responded to the Pa. point to attempt an intercept on the plane that crashed.The D.C. Air Guard then took over the CAP over Washington. Before the day was over additional F-16's from Shaw AFB, SC and F-15's from Langley were in CAP over DC, New York and Atlanta. The California Air Guard was in CAP over L.A. and San Fran. The point is the response was too late, because of our alert stand down that had been evolving since the mid 1990's.
#42382 Sep 12, 2013
BTW....none...and I mean none of the initial aircraft that responded were armed. The F-15's from Otis were not armed nor were the F-16's from Langley or Andrews. It wasn't until much later when the 16's from Shaw and 15's from Langley got airborne that any aircraft were armed. This is fact.

American 11 departed Boston 7:59am, was reported hijacked8:41am, hit the North Tower at 8:46:40
United 175 departed Boston 8:14am, was reported hijacked 8:52am, hit South Tower at 9:03 am
American 77 departed Washington 8:20am, reported hijacked 8:54, hit the pentagon at 9:37:46
Unite 93 departed Newark 8:42am, was hijacked 9:28 am , went in at 10:02
NORAD was called at 9:03 am, 9:13am they ordered the OTIS Fighters OUT OF THE HOLDING PATTERN TO NY . They arrived at NY 9:25 am
Langley fighters were ordered to battle stations at 9:09am, 9:23 Langley scrambled and were airborne at 9:30 am and vectored to BALTIMORE
So Langly fighters took 21 minutes from battle stations to take off and left unarmed? OTIS fighters were unarmed? Why do we need unarmed fighters? Why not just take off in a J-3 cub and ride around? Wouldn't have mattered anyway. Fire oders didn't transmit until 10:14 am. The whole thing was over. Cheany and Dubya were safe. Next day, Bin Laden family jet was the only civil aircraft flying--- to get the Bin Ladens out of the USA. Who allowed that to happen?

Even though your communist US thinks they are in charge of humanity the reality is they are not. In your imaginary world the toothless media supports your spit ball shooting president. They actually think their words are supreme and final. Kerry and McCain keep dancing in a parade trying to influence a congress which is neither conservative nor moral but nevertheless war weary. The once drug addict now United Socialist leader cannot fight against Vladimir Putin who brought Russia from poverty in the 90's to a more stable economy today. Obama's buffoonery selling the war against Syria has hit a wall thanks to President Putin's firm stance and leadership. You people are nothing more then half a&& Communist want-to be's.

Everybody says"the American People want this","the American People want that", its beginning to seem, more and more, as though the only thing the American People want is drugs, internet , sex and free everything.
#42386 Sep 12, 2013
Those of you who continually support welfare to the rich are full fledged communist. Putin didn't stop the Syria strike, the republican congress did. When republikans were already threatening to stop paying the military personnel with government shut down.. if it isnt' important enough to even pay our troops, it is doubtful that they would be motivated in a strike. It is and has been clear republikans will not support a strike simply because Obama does support it.. Putin is just taking the credit, to make himself look like a peace maker. Obama put off the vote because he already knew the outcome. I am thankful for the strike being avoided, regardless of the reasons. It will save a lot of money and lives.
It is kind of embarrassing to have Putin's foot up the asses of congress and the president. This kind of illustrates a concept that Ben Franklin expressed: "We will hang together or we will most assuredly hang separately." Looks like it is starting to happen, figuratively anyway..
#42387 Sep 12, 2013
Yep.The first fighters in the air and part of the second launch was unarmed. The first 2 Pilots from the 113th Fighter Wing of the D.C. Air Guard formed a plan to ram any aircraft if they had to do so. They were unarmed because as I said we had scaled down our Defense Alert drastically since 1995. Our air defense had been designed to intercept manned bombers and this was no longer seen as a threat. I was at Shaw AFB at the time. The 20th Fighter Wing got elements airborne over the next few hours as did almost all fighter units throughout the Air Force, Reserve and Air Guard. Naval Air even got in the action with F-14s from Oceana doing coastal patrol. Over the next several weeks Noble Eagle grew. We were over almost all major cities, powerplants and sea ports. Over time it scaled down due to threat reduction and costs. However, Noble Eagle is still in effect pretty much. When the threat level goes up so do the fighters. Also CAP operations are flown over sporting events and other venues that may have a large crowd. Just to add the first and only civilian aircraft allowed to fly for a few days was the Civil Air Patrol. They flew recon missions over New York and D.C. For those that don't know the Civil Air Patrol is the civilian auxiliary of the U.S. Air Force.
#42388 Sep 12, 2013
I checked on the DC Air Guard pilots that formed a plan to ram flight 93 if they had to. They had been scrambled from Andrews as I said unarmed. The two pilots were Colonel Marc Sasseville and 1/Lt. Heather Penny. I think Colonel Sasseville may be retired now I am not sure. But the last I heard Penny is now a Major maybe a Lt. Colonel and flies a C-21 with the D.C. Air Guard.
#42389 Sep 13, 2013
Just learned this am that Sasseville is not retired yet. He is a Brigader General and now Commands the 113th Wing, D.C. Air Guard.

It's a new conspiracy theory everyday with you.
How about thinking outside the box, but not crazy outside the box. You grouch if republicans don't support the president and you complain if they do. Stop the fence straddling.
Maybe the bozo in the white house and those in congress finally see the writing on the wall. This country is war weary. No conspiracy there. Obama isn't getting support from the democrats either. You must be the lone independent supporting the president and your reasoning is because the republicans didn't support him, thus it's just to make him look bad. He's managed to make a jackass out of himself without the help of either party.
His reasoning is as skewed as yours. He has cut back on military spending, bringing home troops (with no jobs might I add), and he wants to engage in another war? WTH?
You tell me if, does he make any sense? He can't even muster up allies from other countries because they know it's too costly and the end result will be as we're finding out with the other middle eastern countries, it won't matter. They always have and always will fight each other.
If you don't like war as you claim, what difference does it make which party won't support a needless war?

Obama tells his cabinet, don't worry about intentional issues, concentrate on domestic issues.For instance, health care.AFL-CIO has abandoned its support of the insane Obamacare plan.More and more people are finding that the cost of the health care premiums will be ruinous.

Also in the news, Californians have decided that the best way to save their shattered economy is to...raise the minimum wage to ten dollars an hour?? Rick Perry says,"Thanks" idiots! As more panicked California companies, already awash in regulations and overtaxed to boot, see Texas as the answer to their prayers...

Our customer reviews for Sofitel Paris la Defense
Reviews collected from customers who booked on AccorHotels.com
Booked partly with Accor points as surprise last night of summer Alps holiday on way back to England- and staff were great from valet parking, room upgrade, complementary champagne and great breakfast. Perfect base for trip into town and up the tower. Recommended

Overall very good stay. Front desk friendly and efficient. They even came up to my room to help me connect my Ipad to the WIFI. Great breakfast with the excellent french bakery and many other different types of food nicely prepared. On the downside, no bathtub in the room and breakfast staff a a little slow

We wish you a Wonderful Year, Respectful Regards Marie-Charlotte COLRAT Guest Relation & Quality Manager firstname.lastname@example.com
This is an expensive hotel with 5* and for this reason, features that may be acceptable in lessor hotels are less acceptable. The hanging clothes closet in the rooms is incredibly small and when the hotels ironing board and iron are inside has no space for clothes at all. The breakfast is very pricey and the cooked elements were cold, strangely inaccessible and the scrambled egg could be poured as a liquid. Otherwise, the hotel is smart and convenient with good service but borderline for 5*.
Dear Peter A, Thank you very much for your comment. I feel concerned about your sentence saying that breakfast were below standard. Consider contacting me at your earliest convenience to get more detailed information about what you have experienced with us. Truly, Robin DEROP Guest Relations Manager firstname.lastname@example.com
Sofitel has offered us the best experience ever since we have decided to choose for this brand in a consistent way. Other five star hotels have been disappointing to us. Sofitel La Défense is situated in a very quiet part somewhat at the border of the city, with the metro at three minutes walking. Personnel has always been friendly in a natural way. Service is always top level.
Nice and clean hotel and perfect sevices , sur we'll be there every time we go to paris , and the room service is good and it's 24h plus it has aprivet parking The location is in the hart of both business and tourism lactation and just Under the hotel there are several metros that will start from la defense area to all paris tourism locations .
Stayed for straight 13 days. Room was small, wifi was limited in speed, front desk are not that courteous or helpful. I was surprised that with Platinum status and stay of 13 days, the frontdesk will not give a room upgrade nor wifi upgrade to better speed. Disappointed with room size. For price paid, was expecting something better. Also the wall is kind of thin. AC is set to lower setting, even after changing it ... still takes a while to cool down the room. Definitely will not go back to this hotel

The most serious complications of airway stenting are long term, including infection and granulation tissue formation. However, to our knowledge, no studies have quantified the incidence rate of long-term complications for different stents.
To compare the incidence of complications of different airway stents, we conducted a retrospective cohort study of all patients at our institution who had airway stenting for malignant airway obstruction from January 2005 to August 2010. Patients were excluded if more than one type of stent was in place at the same time. Complications recorded were lower respiratory tract infections, stent migration, granulation tissue, mucus plugging requiring intervention, tumor overgrowth, and stent fracture.
One hundred seventy-two patients with 195 stent procedures were included. Aero stents were associated with an increased risk of infection (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.98; 95% CI, 1.03-3.81; P = .041). Dumon silicone tube stents had an increased risk of migration (HR = 3.52; 95% CI, 1.41-8.82; P = .007). Silicone stents (HR = 3.32; 95% CI, 1.59-6.93; P = .001) and lower respiratory tract infections (HR = 5.69; 95% CI, 2.60-12.42; P < .001) increased the risk of granulation tissue. Lower respiratory tract infections were associated with decreased survival (HR = 1.57; 95% CI, 1.11-2.21; P = .011).
Significant differences exist among airway stents in terms of infection, migration, and granulation tissue formation. These complications, in turn, are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Granulation tissue formation develops because of repetitive motion trauma and infection.

Chapter 7Mature
I finally woke up to darkness. My only source of light, the beeping monitors regulating my life. Huh, yay! Something else to regulate and dictate my life. I should already be used to it, I mean, God forbid I take charge and live my own life right? When I try to make something of myself and make my own choices, and decisions someone, mainly a male busts into my life unannounced, pulls a caveman, and I'm dragged back into his cave. Whether said males intentions are good or bad, I'm sick of it. Time to take charge, once the coast is clear, I'm biding this place fucking adieu.
I reached over and noticed I was hooked up again, Fuck! This is going to hurt like a bitch, but I have to think of the big picture, this will save Kinkaid a headache, and most of all Alastair's life.
I removed the pulse detector on my pointer that sent the machine into a frenzy, making it louder then fucking ever, geez my dead grandfather could hear it. I looked at the door and no response, good at least that hasn't changed; not mattering to anyone does have its advantages. I went to rip the tubes out of my arms when I heard a familiar voice in the shadows.
"If you remove one more vital piece from your body, I will not hesitate, I will personally strap you to that bed until you are fully healed, which my dear you keep pulling this shit you'll be here a lot longer, so don't test me!"
The last few words that left his lips sent shivers down my spine. I looked over to the shadows, and saw Mr. Metaxas, lean forward shedding some light to his darkened mood, which I'm sure I put him in.
I took a deep breath, and lowered my hand to my side away from the tubes.
Mr. Metaxas had his elbows on the arm rests of the chair, and when he saw that the threat had worked he laced his perfect fingers together, narrowed his eyes, and smiled, " You see, that wasn't hard, makes things easier don't you think?"
I narrowed my eyes back at him, "Meaning?"
"Meaning Kindred, that the sooner you follow orders, the sooner you get discharged. That stunt you pulled a week ago caused an infection, and set your healing time back. So now you are never alone, ever."
I held my hand up, "I've been out for a fucking week? What the Hell did you give me?"
"I told you, you re-opened you wound and that in turn caused an infection. The infection caused the fever, hence the hallucinations, you weren't in your right mind. You wouldn't let anyone near you except Kinkaid, but he fucked up his chance, so you were sedated."
"My fucking wound was fine, dammit! I was able to treat it after I got home. If it wasn't for you, kicking the fucking door into my life causing the people in my life to hate me more I would still have a job, and I could have gotten on with my shitty life! But no, you just had to be another rich, up-tight ass that has nothing to do except throw money around and mess with people's lives because you don't have one of your own!"
Mr. Metaxas' smile dropped, he put his hands on the arm rests and shot out of his chair, walked up to the side of my bed and glared at me, "If it wasn't for me you wouldn't be alive. How well do you think that wound healed? "
"It fucking clotted enough, to relax in a tub and regain some of my damn sanity that I lost through the fucking day! Anyways I'm not your damn concern, so stop being the fucking white knight and rescuing me! I'm not some lost cause for you to help, I know you rich people need a fucking hobby, but I'm not an experiment! So leave me the FUCK Alone!" As I ended my speech I ripped the tubes out of my arms, stood straight up, pushed past Mr. Metaxas and made my way to the door. As soon as I made it to the door, I yanked on the doorknob, but it wouldn't budge. I started jingling it again and again, so frustrated so close, but yet so damn far.
"Gah!" I pounded and pounded on the obstacle separating me from ultimate freedom. I should've known freedom comes at a price, and I'll have to pay….again.
I felt Mr. Metaxas' breath on my neck, I still felt angry, but somewhat at ease. "You're not going anywhere, do you hear me? No more running, especially from me. You need to know what life is like without the constant fear of him behind you. I don't know what it is but I feel that you compare me to him. Tell me something Kindred Cassidy," He grabs my shoulders and spins me to meet his eyes, "Am I someone to fear? The same someone who in your own words a White Knight who keeps rescuing you. Have you ever stopped to think that maybe I'm the good guy; the guy who wants to shield you from the bad and make you open your big, beautiful eyes to see the good. That there is still good in all things, that I'm good…for you. I don't want you to hide in the shadows, I want you to be seen in the sun to know that your life is worth living and not running from."
I sighed, he just doesn't get it, he doesn't get me, "It's not your place or responsibility to look after me. I did an ok job of that myself until I put that very same job and responsibility into the hands of the one person I completely trusted, and it blew up in my face. That very same person, who like you wanted me to shine in the sun, but after a while, he showed his true colors and realized he wanted me to live in the dark under his command. So please forgive me if I just don't take your word for it and believe you, because quite frankly Mr. Metaxas that ship has sailed, and sank with no survivors. And you're right, you have opened my big eyes, to realize that I'm not as good at being invisible as I thought, so please let me go and save us all."
He took his forefinger and his thumb and gently raised my face to me his gaze, "I'm not going anywhere, I don't care how much you push me away, there is nothing you can say or do that will turn me away, because quite frankly Miss Cassidy I'm not him, I would never in a million years let any harm cross your path, let alone cause your sweet existence to become invisible, I would be robbing this world of your complete radiance and beauty, you can rest assured that you can finally stop running, and just simply live."
I smacked his hand away from my face, and took a step forward into his space, taking a stand, pointing a bony finger to his immaculate suit jacket, "I don't know who you think you are, barging into my life, stealing my job, banishing my brother, and you know what you did just fucking that, you see you kept your promise, you did bring me into the sun. But, as soon as that light hit my vulnerable flesh, you brought the one person out of the shadows, the man I fear most, my fucking possessive husband. And now, here I stand with no defense, my only option is to run for the hills, and quite frankly Mr. Alistair Metaxas if you don't move the fuck out of my way I will throw you out of my way, I've always been a fighter, I had to be, no one will ever dictate my life not anymore, not after the freedom I've tasted, so step aside." As soon as my rant was finished I all of a sudden felt light headed. I was still pointing at Mr. Metaxas when I caught a glimpse of red running down my arm. I looked at my forearm and noticed that a steady flow of blood was making its way down to my elbow and on to the sterile floor. I picked up my other arm, and it was in the same exact condition. What the hell? I looked up at Mr. Metaxas and his eyes were a mixture of concern and rage.
"You never answered my question Kindred, how do you think your wound healed before?"
He started to take a step towards and I threw my hands up in defense and took a step back, damn this room was starting to spin, "It, it clotted, I, um, the tub?" I was taking another step back, and then the last step I took I was uneasy.
"Kindred when I found you your towel was soaked in blood, you didn't clot what so ever, and the alcohol you consumed only thinned your blood even more. Kindred when I found you, you were in shock and on the verge of death. I saved you. If I would've shown up a moment later you would've been dead."
Still disoriented, I kept my hands up, "So what? You called an ambulance, big fucking deal; you want a medal of honor? A cookie maybe?"
He simply smiled, that arrogant ass! And took another step towards me so that we were nose to nose, "No, Kindred, I saved you by giving you instant taste of relief. I gave you a part of myself that heals, my blood, my sacred soul. You see Kindred, I am a Vampire."
What the hell? The room started to spin faster, all but Mr. Metaxas, I reached up to hit him, to stop this spell he had over me, but when I went to slap him he caught my wrist, and then I finally succumbed to darkness.

More informationWhat is it about Israel that is so special?
How has she survived millennia of persecution and oppression?
Why is she once again the central focus of world attention and politics?
Could this be the time when the Father restores the kingdom to her?
Israel is the delight of God's heart, the apple of His eye, His firstborn son (Ex 4:22), His sovereign choice, His special possession, and His eternal dwelling and glory (Is 46:13). She is the focus of Scripture, the burden of the prophets and the tears of the Messiah.

They Keep Askin
Poem by: Atton Brown
Status: Finished
Genre: Romance
I guess it shows how much you've taken from me
Cuz they keep askin'
I'm probably gonna relapse back to the clown
His smile etched to cover the pain
I didn't even think it would be this hard
Or that we'd get this far
It was unexpected but welcome
Time passed and you seemed to fade
I tried to be bigger
To handle it, but you didn't care
I shouldn't say that, you did
You just failed to express it
And I seem to fail at everything
I guess I'm not good enough
Like I said, I'll be a regret
I'm the world's regret
That's why they left, all of them
But I didn't think you would
But I knew you had to
The future may hold a reunion
"Who knows," as you would say
Who can ever know?
So I guess I'll go back to the old me
That guy I hate
I guess I'll relapse and lie some more
But I gotta tell em something
Cuz they keep askin'

Incremental Changes
I remained in my office until just before midnight, double and triple checking my schedules and documentation while I waited for the night crew to be all that remained of the staff on the grounds. The Skeleton Crew, so-called both for their function and their pale appearances, moved like ghosts through the halls of the institution, taking care of any emergencies that arose before the sun.
I suppose that when you work the night shift it's hard to get a tan but I thought that a poor excuse for their pallor. I've heard talk that one of them, Henry I think his name is, might suffer from albinism but I think it equally likely he's a great-grandchild of Dracula.
Regardless, I did my best to avoid encountering any of those creepy souls as I made my way to Room 333 that night. That room had been waiting for a man like Connor for too long - I'd had to make excuses on more than one occasion in order to avoid having one of the normal psychopaths incarcerated there. I'd spent too much time preparing that room for my experiment to have it wasted on someone who believed his invisible pet unicorn knew the Cadbury Caramilk secret.
I passed several rooms from which crazed mutterings emerged, testing a few locks to reassure myself. By the time I reached the third floor hallway that led to my destination I had probably looked over my shoulder a few hundred times and jumped at imaginary shadow creatures at least twice.
I'd be lying if I said it didn't occur to me then that I might have waited too long and that I would be certified and locked away before my research had run its course.
I pushed the thought aside as I reached Connor's room, pressing one ear to the door and holding my breath. Hearing only quiet snores I took out my copy of the master key, which all staff have on them from sign in to sign out of every shift, from the inside pocket of my lab coat and inserted it into the lock with sweat-slicked fingers. The deadbolt slid back with a muffled click and I pushed the door open on silent, very well oiled hinges. I had left nothing to chance.
A flickering lamppost on the sidewalk outside his barred window provided the only illumination but it was enough for me to make my way safely to his bedside. I pulled the unscented cloth out of my pocket and placed it gently over Connor's nose, removing it after he had taken three deep breaths. I jabbed one closed eye with the covered end of my pen to verify that he was out cold before returning to the doorway.
I stuck my head into the hallway to make sure I was alone, then closed it silently and flicked on the light. I moved to the electronic temperature display next to the door and opened it by tapping out the access code on it's number pad - 66827299938.
I smiled at my own creation, knowing I would never forget it - it spelled out NOTCRAZYYET on a digital phone. Clever, no?
The electronic display showed 72 degrees Fahrenheit - the one on the outside did at least. But then, I had programmed it to always show that temperature. The display hidden on the inside, however, not only showed the actual temperature of Room 333, it also controlled it.
With a press of the down arrow I lowered it to 71 and flipped the cover closed again, locking it away from prying eyes. On a whim I moved to the bedside clock and moved it forward by one minute, making a mental note to record this on the schedule.
I probably should have stuck to the initial plan but I was excited. Not reckless mind you, merely excited.
With a final look around the room I returned to the door, turned off the light, and made my exit, barely containing a childlike giggle.
"Doc Esco?"
If I jumped half a foot in the air it was only because I'm physically incapable of attaining a greater height.
"Doctor D!" I said as I turned to face Dr. Dimitrijevic. Okay, I might have squealed it. "You should know better than to sneak up on people like that!"
"What are you doing here this late?" she asked, trying to look into the room I had just vacated. I smiled politely before closing the door firmly. "Usually you're in the parking lot by 5:01 and that's only going by your watch. Which, for the record, everyone knows is ten minutes fast."
"I was simply checking in on my new patient," I told her as I took her by the elbow and lead her down the hall. "And I can assure you that I set my watch by the BBC broadcast, just like everyone else. What are you doing here?"
"Yes, I'd heard you'd certified another one today," she said, pushing her wire-rimmed glasses higher up on her nose. "I'd love to have a meeting with him, he sounds very intriguing."
"I think you're busy enough with your own patients," I replied cheerfully, sweat running like a river down my spine. "Besides, it would only confuse him to meet too many people at such an early stage of his residence. Perhaps later."
"Good night doctor, I'll see you in the morning." I left her at the top of the stairs, her mouth moving soundlessly, and hurried back to my office. When I got there I noted the unplanned time change on my computer and scribbled one more message for myself on a sticky note and left it on my monitor. It simply read, "Get new lock put on Room 333."

Stage Praise Productions Presents Moving Day
"When leaving where you live, is the only way to find your life."
Under the direction of Founder & Artistic Director Robyn L. Rease, with worshipful music and compelling dialogue, the Rhode Island theatre, music and arts community is in for a treat! Performances will be held at Theatre 82 at The Artists' Exchange, 82 Rolfe Square, Cranston, RI 02910 beginning Thursday May 1 through Sunday May 4, 2014. Performance times are Thursday, May 1st at 7pm; Friday, May 2nd at 8pm; Saturday, May 3rd at 3pm and 8pm; and Sunday May 4th at 4pm.
Moving Day is the dramatization of the lives of three women and their journey to total victory and wholeness - overcoming abandonment, sexual abuse, and drug addiction. The play creates separate stages for the stories of Hyacinth 'Hycie' Milner, Carrie Dumas, and Arlaine Douglas – and is intentional about looking at the affects of addiction on those who love the addict. The dichtotomic relationships depicted convey the complexity of the human experience. Each character plays an integral role in bringing the audience to tears of healing and deliverance—
The cast brings a mix of new and seasoned actors & soloists to the stage for a powerful performance.
Robyn Rease is a prolific poet and screenwriter with countless collections of published poetry and prose to her credit. Rease has mastered the art of live theatre & stage plays—understanding that during an actual performance, emotional exchanges will occur which could throw the entire scene. She knows how to harness the energy necessary to bring the words to life.
Stage Praise Productions is a theatre, film, and television company with a mission to change the face of entertainment – and the world – one story at a time. Rease says her goal is to create a company that produces quality Christian entertainment that not only ministers, but that changes lives. This production is one that Rease hopes will compel, as well as inspire the cast and audience to "… abandon fear, and pursue their dreams…"
Tickets are on sale for $20.00 each and may be purchased online at www.stagepraiseproductions.com, or $25.00 at the door. This show is not recommended for children aged 12 and under.

Bear Hero ready for first-up crack
Related topics
David Ferraris says Bear Hero is over the setbacks suffered on a disastrous first overseas trip and is confident the crack colt is up to a challenging first-up assignment at Sha Tin.
Bear Hero hasn't raced since a disappointing 21-length last in the Group One Coolmore Stakes in Melbourne in late October and tackles 1,400m for the first time tomorrow.
'His work has been tremendous and I don't think he'll have a problem with the seven furlongs,' Ferraris said. 'He's the type of horse that doesn't pull, he settles beautifully and he'll put his head down and relax.'
Ferraris had the exceptionally-bred sprinter looking superb at Flemington, but the horse lost a plate early in the race and tore a chunk from his off-fore hoof in the process.
The three-year-old will wear glue-on shoes for the immediate future, but the South African trainer said he was happy with the horse's overall condition.
'He enjoyed the Australian environment and it really brought him on,' he said. 'Even though it was an expensive trip for the owners ... he had a nice break out of Hong Kong and I think it has done him good.'
Ferraris said a scintillating 1,050m all-weather track trial under rider Brett Prebble 10 days ago 'proved the horse hasn't lost his spark'.
Bear Hero is entered in the Griffin Trophy, a restricted race for three-year-olds, where he faces the John Size-trained Classic Jewellery, an impressive debut winner over this course and distance three weeks ago.
'We don't know how good John Size's horse is, he might be another Entrapment ... but I know how good mine is and he is well-handicapped,' Ferraris said.

I left the hotel early and caught the shuttle bus to the Martin Luther King Jnr Historic site. It included the Ebeneza Baptist Church that his father and he were ministers.

Published Editorial
Need for a booster shot
Financial Chronicle
Ritika Loganey Gupta
Associate Director - Tax & Regulatory Services, EY
The rapid rise of the Indian IT sector over the past decade has earned India a number of accolades for the scope and scale of work undertaken, high levels of service quality and sustained cost competitiveness. The special economic zone (SEZ) policy represents the latest thinking on India's growth initiative and may even represent the future of industrial development strategy in the country.
The key objective of the SEZ policy is to enable creation of integrated world class infrastructure and generate economic activity in the country. SEZs contribute about one-third to the country's total exports, provide employment to about 15 lakh people and exports from these zones have increased from Rs 22,840 crore in 2005-06 to Rs 4.94 lakh crore in 2013-14.
While SEZs were touted as future engines of growth by establishing excellence export zones, the ground realities narrate a different story. With the change in the global economic scenario, coupled with unstable policy, a wide gap has emerged in the number of new proposals getting approvals and that of SEZs becoming operational — of the 566 formally approved SEZs, only 185 are in operation.
New projects are hardly coming up; in fact several of the approved ones are not yet complete and companies are seeking multiple deadline extensions to complete their projects. SEZs, once a major attraction for investors, lost sheen following a combination of economic slowdown, acute difficulties in aggregating large tracts of uncultivable land lying vacant, and adverse tax changes such as imposition of minimum alternate tax (MAT) and dividend distribution tax (DDT) and threat of enactment of direct tax code (DTC) which provides for investment linked incentives for both developers and units instead of the current regime of profit based tax exemptions.
On the indirect tax side, the SEZ policy provides for exemption from service tax. However, as per service tax rules, exemption is available only for those services which are exclusively used by the developer/unit. Now, whether a particular service is exclusively used for authorized operations, may become a subject matter of debate; resulting in SEZ units paying service tax to service providers, thereby increasing cost of operations.
On the regulatory front, approvals for authorised operations are being given to developers in the non-processing area with the condition that it can be used only for the purposes of employees/persons working inside the SEZ. This has sent out discouraging signals to developers who intend to develop and lease out the non processing area to non SEZ entities/persons to earn revenues till such time when the processing area is sufficiently developed/occupied.
This would improve the cash flow of such developers in the interim, which in turn can be infused into developing the processing area. As per Rule 5(5) of SEZ rules, before recommending the proposal for setting up of SEZ, the state government shall endeavour that exemption from various State levies are made available to the proposed SEZ units & SEZ developer. In few states this provision is not implemented in principle and in some others implemented only partially. As a consequence, developers and units are unable to claim benefits under VAT Acts, state electricity Acts, stamp duty Acts which add up to a significant cost.
As a first booster shot to revive SEZs the authorities fine-tuned the SEZ policy in August 2013 by reducing the minimum area requirements for developing multi-product and sector-specific SEZs, allowing sector broad-banding, clarifying issues on vacancy of land and laying down an exit mechanism for SEZ units. Though this provided a breather to the beleaguered stakeholders, however much is left to be done for the revival of the policy.
The regulators need to also look at the operational issues including periodic convening of unit approval committee meetings, service tax refunds for SEZ units, clarity on use of social infrastructure beyond employees/workers inside the SEZ, extending indirect tax benefits to contractors/ sub-contractors on procurement of goods and services for SEZ developer/unit, clarity on guidelines relating to ECB for SEZ, financing for land acquisition and definition of infrastructure lending and enhanced commitment of state governments to SEZ policy implementation.
At this juncture, it important to highlight the words of finance minister Arun Jaitley while presenting the budget for 2014-15, "The government is committed to revive the special economic zones (SEZs) and make them effective instruments of industrial production, economic growth, export promotion and employment generation. For achieving this, effective steps would be undertaken to operationalise the special economic zones, to revive the investors' interest to develop better infrastructure and to effectively and efficiently use the available unutilised land."
These words represent a silver lining for the SEZ stakeholders and if all goes well, it is anticipated that the SEZ policy, will play a crucial role in the near future in placing India on the global map as a preferred destination of doing business.

As fall takes nature by storm, rustling through the branches and turning trees into colourful pieces of art, Victoria's parks become a great retreat from the hustle of the city. Discover the different shades of yellow, orange and brown one of these beautiful fall walks.
Selkirk TrestleOriginally constructed by the Canadian National Railway, the Selkirk Trestle bridges the Gorge waterway and lies just outside of downtown Victoria. From the trestle you can also observe Victoria's upper harbour from a distance. The long wooden bridge is a sight in itself; see how the plank is raised by hand. Retreat from the city for a little fall walk along the Gorge and the Galloping Goose Trail and enjoy Victoria's vibrant autumn colours.
Thetis Lake
Welcome to serenity, just 15 minutes outside of downtown Victoria. A network of trails connects Thetis Lake to smaller lakes and streams in this large regional park. Spend an afternoon strolling along the scenic lake trails and bring a snack to enjoy at the beach. Alternatively, you could make it a full day hiking adventure and get lost in Victoria's wilderness. You can also spend a night at the Thetis Lake Campground if you want to be the first in the morning to hike panoramic hills in the park.
Goldstream Park
For a truly unique fall experience, visit Goldstream Park. Hundreds of salmon make their way up stream, a feast no eagle will miss. Bring a pair of binoculars to view the gracious royals of the air up close. Explore the large network of trails to view majestic waterfalls, a lively stream and 600-year old Douglas firs. For a more strenuous hike climb Greater Victoria's highest peak, Mt. Finlayson. Be sure to pack a camera as the panoramic views of Bear Mountain, Victoria, the Olympic Mountains and, on clear days, Mt. Baker and Mt. Rainier in southern Washington will leave you breathless.
