"The country might have been a candidate for the World Cup a few years ago when the economy was stable but it is not prepared for it now. If they asked me to help the bid I would refuse. I don't want to participate in any group trying to get the vote for 2006. Their intention is to get some money but not do a great deal of work for it."
Pele is the second member of the 1970 World Cup-winning team to publicly declare his opposition. Tostao, who played alongside Pele in the 1970 World Cup final, said last month he would not support the bid.
Five countries - Brazil, England, Germany, Morocco and South Africa - are still bidding to stage the finals. Fifa's Executive Committee will decide on the venue next March.
"I have the perfect solution," Pele said. "Why don't England and Germany co-host it like South Korea and Japan? I think that would be the answer."
Pele confirmed yesterday he has been in discussions with Media Partners over the possibility of forming a Brazilian Super League. Media Partners were forced to back out of their bid to set up a Super League competition in Europe after leading clubs decided to side with the sport's European governing body, Uefa. Now the company have turned their attention to Brazil, where a change in the law, made by Pele, has opened up the sport to business. "Yes we are discussing the matter with Media Partners," Pele said yesterday.
The Brazilian double World Cup winner was responsible for changing the country's law when, as Brazil's sports minister from 1995 to 1998, he introduced the so-called Pele Law. The legislation, which will come into force in March 2000, is designed to make Brazilian clubs more business- oriented although Pele admitted there were some concerns over the changes.
"Not only Media Partners but other groups in Brazil have come in to acquire teams, such as Vasco da Gama and Flamengo. There are a lot of companies now trying to acquire teams. In one way this is good. But the other side is the worry about creating a monopoly.
"If organisation was better then maybe we could protect young players in Brazil," Pele said. "Brazilian football is now really a supermarket for foreign clubs."
Closer to home, the Blackburn Rovers manager, Brian Kidd, wants to sign David Wetherall from Leeds United as part of a pounds 5m overhaul for his defence. Kidd sees the experienced centre-half as the ideal replacement for the Swiss defender Stephane Henchoz, who is set to leave. Wetherall has been in and out of the Leeds side for the past season. Blackburn are willing to pay around pounds 1.5m for him.
Kidd also has a pounds 3m bid in for another central defender, Aston Villa's Riccardo Scimeca. He hopes for an answer on that move shortly. Meanwhile, Steve Harkness is also due in for talks at Blackburn next week after Benfica's final game against Sporting Lisbon on Sunday. The former Liverpool left- back is prepared to come home in a pounds 750,000 move although he will face a tax problem after returning to Britain so quickly.
The ITV sports presenter Jim Rosenthal has joined a team of four businessmen in a new bid to rescue financially-troubled Oxford United. Rosenthal has been a long-standing supporter of Oxford. The other men are Oxford solicitor David Bower, George Bailey, managing director of Sotheby's and art restorer Hamish Dewar.
The quartet are willing to inject pounds 1.5m into United, who have just been relegated to the Second Division. Their bid rivals that of London hotelier Firoz Kassam, who has just appointed a team of financial advisors to try to sort out United's tangled pounds 13.5m debt crisis. Kassam will only complete development of Oxford's half-built new stadium if Oxford City Council agree to let him build a multiplex cinema and leisure complex alongside the ground.
In a clear clash of personalities Bower, another long-time United supporter who has been dealing with the club's legal affairs in recent months, said: "I have not been prepared to come on board with Mr Kassam because we have had a big bust-up. I don't like Mr Kassam and the way he has treated people." He added: "Manager Malcolm Shotton is tearing his hair out because he can't go after any players and has only 11 or 12 fit ones for next season. As it stands at the moment Oxford United might not even get into the League's fixture list for next season."

Home > Archives > Fitness Tips > Somatopause
Timeless Fitness Tip
The sa-mot-a-what? The somatopause (sa-mot-a-pause) is the name scientists give to the slowing of metabolism and loss-of-energy that usually begins in our mid-30s.
Symptoms of the somatopause are weight-gain, especially around the middle; loss of bone density; and declining energy and sex drive. Bad cholesterol goes up, good cholesterol goes down, and skin begins to wrinkle.
The somatopause is related directly to the decline of a natural substance produced by the body as we age. This substance is a "growth hormone", or as more commonly heard of, HGH (human growth hormones).
So what can we do? Specific forms of exercise, an inexpensive nutritional supplement and adequate deep sleep, will help ward this off.
Researchers show that short bursts of exercise such as sprinting, high-intensity cycling and swimming will significantly increase growth hormone in your body, the way nature intended it to be.

Tonight we are dining in the Chops Grille for my birthday. They claim the best steak on the high seas. We have much more motion on this crossing than we did last year in the Pacific. They have drained and closed the pools until we get to some calmer waters. They have also made some subtle changes in the entertainment because of the increased motion.

As I stare out of my office window, I'm looking at how spring is beginning to make an appearance. It's exciting and fresh.. Everything that was old and cold is now becoming beautiful and exciting.
7 years ago, February 2005, I open the doors to what I felt was going to be the most exciting time of my life; my company AnyEvent-Event Planning Service. I order the business cards, told everyone and I knew and began letting the world know "I'M A CEO!!" I was finally my own boss.
I sat down with my business consultant 7 years ago, we wrote out the plan, how I dreamed AnyEvent would be. I had big expectations for my company. I had plans on where we would be 5 years from the time I started. I had big dreams, and dreams cost and I knew sitting right there in Mr. Howards office I would have to starting paying.. Working hard and building my company from scratch. I was OK with that. But I never knew that it would take me like it did (lol).
The one thing people never want to happen in life is failure. We don't want bad grades; failed marriages and our children to fail in school. We don't want our friendships or relationship to fail, because it makes us feel like……We failed. But as often as I stated failure is a part of growth and if you want to grow, in some area you may fail.
I have been working hard with AnyEvent. I had some hits and some miss, more success then failure, But all in all the training I've learned has been an experience I wouldn't trade it for nothing in this world. The school of Good Bad and Ugly has brought me…..Here ...looking at my business plan that was written 2005.
Now I have heard successful business people say that a business plan is the road map to where you will go and grow with your business. I have also heard that business plans are a waste if you are not able to follow it. Does this make someone a good business person because they have one or don't have one? Hmmm.. Inquiring minds wanted to know (lol).
After much research and study, I realize that it's both (lol) . There are companies that failed with business plans and others who didn't; there were some companies said they didn't write a business plan until they were 15 years in to their company, and still successful to this day. And then there were companies who started with a business and are successful. All in all you need a business plan to not write, but to follow. So with that said, I looked at my 2005 business plan. Review it careful.. Made a copy, label it FAILURE. Tore it up, and place it in a folder, Copy and the pieces. I'm not shame, I'm grateful because in all in all leads to trail and error, which worked for me.
So what did I do, I decided to rewrite it (lol) yep. I decided to keep it moving but do what I wanted to do with my business not with what others think it should be doing. Some where I got lost in the "You should" syndrome. I took advice but never listen to my own. I allow myself to get with people who did very little to support me or even mention my name. This happens in business and we learn from it.
I will still continue to work with my clients in DC and now that I have a bigger project at hand; Real Men Cook Event Manager for the
area, I will build business relationships
there. Pittsburgh
I'm moving forward, I'm excited with my new love. Some things will remain the same with AnyEvent; and there will be changes in other things. It will all be on me and the new plan.. Jeremiah 29:11.. Write the Plan.. Make it plain.. (lol). Plain enough for God to give me and plain enough for me to follow.

Hate Leads to Love
Book by: Red's_Wolf
Status: Finished
Genre: Gay and Lesbian
Chapter1 (v.1) - Hate Leads to Love
"But why do I have to do it?" I asked my boyfriend as he held me in his arms. We were both lying in bed snuggled together after our little fun.
"You're our best actress and the most beautiful one too."
"But it's going to be gross."
"Look Valerie do you want these fags walking around?"
"No but…"
"You didn't hear Carl complaining when he had to do it , did you ?"
"No I didn't, but I don't want to kiss another woman."
"You have t Valerie, we need to teach them a lesson."
"Fine but what if she wants to sleep together."
"Then you sleep together just make sure she falls in love with you."
"Fine, who's the target?"
"Samantha Robinson." Michael said a he pulled up her file on line. As I looked at her I realized it wouldn't be so hard just as long as I imagined her as a guy. Samantha seemed athletic; I mean you could clearly see she had muscular stomach. She had brown eyes and short black hair.
"When will I have to start?"
"The sooner the better."
"So tonight?" I asked as I began to change the bed sheets.
"Tonight would be perfect, seeing as she will be at the bar she's always been at."
"So what is she?"
"What do you mean?"
"Is she a stud, player, femme, etc?"
"Well clearly she's a stud."
"Well not all muscular women are studs you know."
"Yea well this one is."
"Anyways she goes in and buys drinks but she never takes anyone home.'
"So she's not easy to seduce?"
"No not really."
"Great so how am I going to get her to like me and eventually love me?"
"You're the actress babe figure it out." Michael said as he gave me a kiss and then began making pone calls. The plan was going to begin tonight and the group wouldn't interfere until I gave the sign that she has fallen in love with me.
Later that night
"Have any plans tonight?" my mother asked me
"No mom." I said as I lay down on the couch.
"Well you should get a girlfriend and stop spending so much time with your mom."
"I know mom." I said as I closed my eyes.
"I know it hurts that she left you but at least you'll have timothy with you in two weeks."
"Yes mom you're right."
"Of course I am, doe me a favor Sam?"
"Anything mom."
"Try making conversation with someone."
"Yes mom." I said as I hugged her and headed towards the bar.
"I admit I was nervous so I went to the bar really early. I was wearing a tee shirt with a leather jacket and leather pants with black high heel boots. My black curly hair and green eyes matched well with the black leather. To be honest I think I looked badass.
Anyways I began to feel uneasy and after having drank water only I ordered a martini. I think I was on my fourth one when Samantha finally walked in. When I first saw her she seemed to be lost but she had a smile on her face that is until she came to the bar.
"Hey Harry give me a beer." Samantha told the bartender.
"Sure thing girl." Harry said as he handed her the beer, Samantha sat down on the stool next to mine and just completely ignored me and everyone else. I couldn't help but stare at her as she seemed to not even notice the people all around, could she really be so full of herself.
All I really wanted was some nice cold beers and to be able to relax but of course I couldn't have that. I turned and found a black haired woman staring at me like if I were some sort of experiment she also seemed to be mad, but of what, I had no clue.
"May I help you?" I asked but the woman only kept on looking at me. It wasn't until I snapped in her face that she blushed and pulled up.
"I'm sorry." She said as she drank her martini.
I was really enjoying my second beer when I felt a hand on my shoulder and a kiss on my neck. I already knew who it was and I really wished she wasn't here. Melissa always caused trouble for me not that I got kicked out but it still looked bad.
I was just about to maybe start a conversation when I saw a brunette in a red dress put her hand on Sam's shoulder. I saw as Sam became tense and she finished her drink before turning around.
"What are you doing Melissa?"
"Aw I just wanted to say hi."
"Hi, can you go now."
"Oh such a wonderful attitude."
"What do you want Melissa?"
"I wondered if maybe you wanted to I don't know hang out?" Melissa said as she put her hand on Sam's thigh and moved it upward. I couldn't let her touch Sam what if she ended up going with the brunette so I did the most logical thing, I put my hand over Melissa's making sure she stopped.
"Okay I have no idea who the hell you are but that's my girlfriend you are touching." I said as I removed her hand from Sam. Sam just turned to look at me as well as Melissa.
"Please darling Samantha does not date at least not since Beatriz."
"Well here she is now."
"Look darling how about you…"
"How about I do nothing but stay here and try to enjoy my date while you go somewhere else to be the slut you are." I said as I raised my voice making Sam smile.
"Oh hell no I am no slut unlike you dressed in leather."
"Please leather isn't slutty it's badass."
"Yes it is it really does make your ass look bad."
"Ha-ha very funny but seriously how about you leave before I hurt you." I said as got in between Sam and her.
"Look child you may not know but I am not an animal which is why I do not fight like you."
"Pussy." I said as I began to turn around, but at that moment Melissa grabbed my hair and pulled me back making me fall against her, which caused us to both end up on the ground.
As I sat up I elbowed her on the gut before standing up but she pulled my leg making me fall again, I turned around and as I straddled her I slapped her on the face before I felt a pair of arms pulling me back and outside. I was really about to go off on whoever pulled me but as I turned I saw that it was Sam.
"Thank you." She said after I had calmed down.
"For what?"
"Saving me from that predator."
I couldn't help but laugh but as I did I held my side noticing that it hurt to laugh.
"Are you okay?" Sam asked me as she came towards me but without much thought I backed up and saw as Sam herself backed up as well.
"Sorry." I said.
"You have no reason to be sorry."
"I'm just… I had a bad childhood and I have trouble with new people." I said telling her the truth for some strange reason. I did have a bad childhood and I did have problem with strangers it took knowing Michael for over seven years and then three of dating before I became open to him. Now I couldn't envision my life without him.
"It's okay I understand."
"Thank you." I said as I stood there shivering a little bit.
"Um so do you want me to take you home or do you have a car?"
"Actually I don't have a car but I need to check if I hurt something however I really don't want to go to the doctor."
"I can take you to my house, my nanny knows about medicine."
"You live with your nanny?" I asked as she led me to her car.
"Technically she lives with me."
"Mhm sure."
"Ha-ha I'm serious." Sam said as she began to laugh but suddenly quit, becoming serious again.
"You know it's okay to laugh." I said as I got into her car.
I kind of expected an answer but when she didn't answer I looked over and she turned on the car. We were heading to where those rich people lived I mean I really didn't think she would live here but I was wrong. When we got to her house it took my breath away. Sam parked in front of her house before getting out; I got out too and just stared.
"Are you coming?"
"Um yea." I said as I went to where she was waiting for me in front of the door. Sam opened the door and led me inside where I saw a woman sitting on the couch staring at the TV.
"Hey Nana." Sam said as she walked in and gave her nanny a kiss on the cheeks I guess Nana was short for nanny.
"Who's your friend Samantha?"
"Um…" is all I could say just realizing that I didn't even know her name.
"I'm Valerie Franklin." Valerie said as she shook Nana's hand.
"Oh child I'm so sorry I thought I had taught Samantha better." Nana said as I blushed.
"Nana, Valerie was in a fight and I was wondering if you could make sure she is okay."
"Sure thing." Nana said as she made Valerie sit and raise her shirt when she was informed that Valerie's ribs were hurting. Nana touched here and there as I avoided my eyes until she finally told us what was wrong.
"You aren't hurt child just bruises but put ice on it, Samantha you help and I am going to bed now." Nana said as she headed upstairs.
"So do you have any ice?" Valerie asked me and again I blushed. I motioned for her to follow me and she sat on the kitchen counter as I went to the fridge and got a frozen vegetable bag. I handed it to her as I got two beers and handed her one I leaned against the counter and looked at her face as she put the ice on her ribs and began to drink the beer.
"Do I have something on my face?" Valerie asked me as she noticed how I was looking at her.
"Um no, sorry."
"For what?"
"I don't know." I said as I drank my beer.
"So where's the girlfriend?"
"Excuse me?"
"Don't you have a girlfriend?"
"No I don't."
"I don't know I guess I'm still hung up on my ex."
"She must have been special."
"She was."
"So what happened to her?"
"She cheated on me."
"Damn that's harsh, with who?"
"My best friend."
"Wow that must have been awful."
"It was."
"But how did you find them?"
"They were fucking in my bed, come on lets take you home." I said as I headed outside and got in the car read to take Valerie to her house before I made a mistake in letting someone into my life again.

The Center Serving Persons with Mental Retardation is celebrating 50 years of offering vocational training. Houston Public Radio's Capella Tucker reports the program helps businesses and the Center's residents and clients.
The Center offers a variety of services to businesses such as assembly, packaging, mailing and furniture restoration. One of the 250 people employed in the program is Marshal Meade who takes part in landscaping services.
"I love to mow and I like to water plants and roses and vegetables."
Meade earns money through the program. The Center's Business Development Manager Elizabeth Cullen
"Our ultimate goal is for our clients to have a job out in the community, so the vocational side of things is that type of training.What is expected in the workforce, the way we dress when we go to work the way we speak when we go to work so that provides them with those type of services. "
The anniversary comes in the same year that the Center reached a deal with the city of Houston so it could stay on the property on West Dallas. Capella Tucker, Houston Public Radio News.

It is not explained why Bluebeard murdered his first bride; she could not have entered the forbidden room and found a dead wife.
In the 1812 version published in Grimms' Fairy Tales, Wilhelm Grimm, on p. XLI of the annotations, makes the following handwritten comment: "It seems in all Märchen [fairy tales] of Blubeard, wherein his Blutrunst [flowing of blood] has not rightly explained, the idea to be the basis of himself through bathing in blood to cure of the blue beard; as the lepers. That is also why it is written that the blood is collected in basins."
Maurice Maeterlinck wrote extensively on Bluebeard and in his plays names at least six former wives: Sélysette from .'Aglavaine et Sélysette (1896), Alladine from Alladine et Palomides (1894), both Ygraine and Bellangère from La mort de Tintagiles (1894), Mélisande from Pelléas et Mélisande, and Ariane from Ariane et Barbe-bleue (1907).
In Jacques Offenbach's opera (1866), the five previous wives are Héloïse, Eléonore, Isaure, Rosalinde and Blanche, with the sixth and final wife being a peasant girl, Boulotte, who finally reveals his secret when he attempts to have her killed so that he can marry Princess Hermia.
Béla Bartók's opera A Kékszakállú herceg vára (1911), with the libretto by Béla Balázs, names "Judith", which places her as wife number four, whereas Ariane would be wife number six, but fails to take Judith into account. Bartók's version does not name any of the wives that appear in it. Rather than retelling the original story, the libretto only uses the main characters and setting, and transforms them into a symbolist story.
Anatole France's short story "The Seven Wives of Bluebeard" names Jeanne as the last wife before Bluebeard's death.
Alfred Savoir wrote in the 1920s a play La huitième femme de Barbe-Bleue (Bluebeard's eighth wife) from which Sam Wood and Ernst Lubitsch produced two films, other than starting from the point of being a plus one wife of Bluebeard and that it considers Anatole France's count of his wives, this play or the films share nothing with a description or numbering of the duke's wives.
In Edward Dmytryk's film Bluebeard (1972), Baron von Sepper (Richard Burton) is an Austrian aristocrat known as Bluebeard for his blue-toned beard, and his appetite for beautiful wives. This film names an American beauty named Anne, who discovers a vault in his castle filled with the frozen bodies of his previous wives.

Chicago White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen took advantage of a question regarding the Minnesota Twins' new ballpark to fire an opening shot of sorts at his team's division rival.
"They're going to go from piranhas to sardines," Guillen joked about the Twins' new image after they settle in at Target Field. "A prediction is a prediction."
The move from the enclosed Metrodome, where the spongy turf afforded the Twins a major home-field advantage offensively, to the new open-air stadium, is being eagerly anticipated by their opponents as an equalizer -- at least early on.
But the Twins say the field will favor neither hitters nor pitchers, and Guillen is not exactly writing them off.
"The thing about them, they find a way to stay where they are [atop the AL Central]," he said. "How they do it, I don't know. They find a player from the Mexican League and all of a sudden they come play for the Twins and they're unbelievable. They find a way to make the players play well . . . and they're going to compete."
But Guillen warned the Twins and their fans to be ready for an entirely new game involving the elements.
"It's a different game now -- rain delays, doubleheaders, cold, rain," Guillen said. "Good luck, [Twins manager Ron Gardenhire]. Now he has to deal with what we deal with in the Midwest They have to deal with what we do every day and that's an advantage to the teams playing against them."

So, um...
As I listened to the sadness in Meggie's voice when she talked about Aidan - no matter how much she tried to hide it, heartbreak like that is difficult to conceal - I wrapped an arm around Alex's waist and pulled him closer to me. I can't imagine what I would do if he left me... I could barely breathe through the pain of just thinking about it.
My eyes wandered over to the other girl - Erica. I knew her story; who didn't? Her face has been plastered all over the news since the death of all her family members. I couldn't help but feel a pang of pity for her. She was alone, and not by choice the way I had been.
I gave her a small smile, which probably only succeeded in making her feel like I was patronising her or something. But it was the best I could do. Hey, just a little support can make you feel better, right?
Looking around, I was suddenly hyper-aware of every closely-packed body in the place. The guy hovering over Meggie's shoulder looked like he was trying to pretend not to listen in on our conversation, so I turned my head to whisper in Alex's ear.
"Don't you think we should go somewhere quieter? If they're trying to hide, a packed pub like this isn't exactly the best place..."
He just shrugged. "They chose this place... I'm sure they know best, but I don't mind where we go. I wouldn't mind another pint though..." He looked at the bar wistfully, and I couldn't help but laugh.
"Don't mind where we go, huh?" I grinned cheekily. Then I pulled Alex close to me, kissing him passionately on the lips, before pushing him away again. "Go get your drink." Oh, how I love teasing him.
He winked, and I couldn't help the smile that spread across my face. "You want another drink?"
I considered for a moment, feeling the warm fuzz from my previous pint. It's been too long since I drank anything... my alcohol tolerance must have gone down. "Um... just coke, please." He nodded, and wandered off to join the crowd at the bar.
I realised too late that we probably should've offered Meggie and Erica a drink... oops. Oh well. I'm hardly known for my manners.
"So, um..." I managed to tear my eyes away from Alex to talk to the two of them. "You wanna tell me what exactly happened next door? And don't bother giving me that crap about not worrying about it." I watched as they exchanged a glance, and Meggie opened her mouth to speak.
A deafening explosion tore one side of the room apart, dust billowing outwards and over everyone in the room.
My only thought? "ALEX?!"

SO, the fuel price hike has finally been announced, barely two weeks before the presentation of the Budget for 2008-09. Dr Manmohan Singh, our PM, says the price rise of Rs 2/- and Re 1/- for petrol and diesel respectively, is 'marginal" and that if the Government continues to provide subsidy, the fiscal system would collapse.
Of course, both the BJP and the Left have taken a diametrically opposite view of the price hike which they say is totally unjustified and have announced plans for protests. On the one hand, we see the Government taking credit in not having raised the fuel prices over the last 20 months, despite that the crude price has risen by 50% this year, as compared to 2007. On the other hand, we have the BJP and the Left, which rule several states, taking it to the streets. Thanks to its own making, the Congress has given the BJP and the Left, a common stick to beat it, with.
Now, the question is… is the Government justified at all in raising fuel prices at this juncture? For answering this, we would need to understand that the process involved in the pricing mechanism for petroleum products in the country is very complex involving a lot of intermediaries and players. The Central Government either imports crude or procures crude from the domestic companies. There are refineries who use the crude and produce the intermediate and final products like petrol, diesel, etc. Then you have the Oil Marketing Companies ('OMCs") which market the petroleum products. There are the State Governments which levy VAT, Entry Tax and other commercial levies. Of course, the Central Government rakes in significant revenues in terms of customs duties and other indirect taxes. The final player in the distribution chain is, of course, the poor consumer, who bears all of these taxes that are levied and collected from the point of the import of the crude till the delivery of the petrol or diesel in the local petrol pump. The Government justifies its decision to increase the fuel prices on the fact that the international crude prices have increased significantly over the last 15 months or so. What it conveniently covers up or refuses to tell the Indian consumer is the fact that, it is taxes that push up the cost of petrol and diesel and the increasing international crude prices is only one of the elements of this jigsaw puzzle.
Let"s not get into complex issues like the Import Parity Pricing ('IPP") which the Government follows, in respect of select petroleum products. It would suffice for the reader to know that the total amount of the various taxes that are collected, in respect of petrol and diesel, work out to an UNBELIEVABLY HIGH 55% to 60% on the final price. Of course, if you work backwards, you will easily find out that the levy of taxes is to the tune of more than 100% of the base price. Thus, if a Bangalore resident pays Rs 39 for a litre of diesel, something like Rs 21 would have been collected as taxes by the Central and State Governments. The problem then, is not so much to do with the international prices of crude, as it is, to do with the taxes that are levied which make it so expensive for the Indian consumer? To blame the international crude prices without looking at the taxes that are levied, is plain hypocrisy.
Pakistan does not have a robust economy like what India has…. Pakistan does not talk of the growth rates that we are so proudly talk. Yet, the Pakistani consumer pays much less for petrol and diesel, as compared to his illustrious Indian counterpart. Like India which imports two-thirds of its requirements, Pakistan also imports most of its requirements. Then how come the Pakistani consumer only pays around Pakistani Rupee PKR 38/- to a litre of diesel, which is equivalent to about Rs 23 /- to Rs 24/-. While there could be issues related to the grade of diesel, etc. the fact remains that the price differential is at least about 30%, which is really significant. Some economists might say that the Indian consumer earns more and hence has to shell out more. Wrong, Sir. Take, the case of Malaysia, a more affluent country, where the consumer pays much much lesser, as compared to even Pakistan. Malaysia incidentally is on of the countries where fuel is really cheap.
The underlying fact is that all countries procure crude at
international prices and subsidize for the benefit of their
consumers. The recent fuel price hike, the Indian Government says,
is to cut down on the losses of the 'Oil Marketing Companies"?
China faces the same problems in terms of the surging import prices
and its curbs on the retail prices and several Chinese oil
producing and marketing companies are reported to be in the
Coming to Pakistan, surely, with international crude prices going at around US$ 92 for a barrel, it is very likely that a smaller economy like Pakistan will be hit harder, as compared to India, which has a much larger and growing economy. India has had the added advantage of having an appreciation currency which means that, there is a 15% odd price advantage which India has gained over the last few months, vis-À-vis its imports. Does the Government then have to necessarily increase the selling prices of petrol and diesel, to ensure that the fiscal system does not collapse, to use the PM"s words?
Perhaps, not.
The Government could possibly reduce duties and taxes to ensure that the fuel prices do not go up any further, by involving the States. Afterall, the reduction on duties and sales taxes should involve both the Central Government and the State Governments. The BJP and the Left, not withstanding their protests, can do something more meaningful and helpful. After all, they rule several States and can take the first step in reducing the respective sales tax and entry tax rates, which would immediately result in lesser retail fuel prices. Especially, the Left, which seems to protest any fuel price hike, irrespective of whether the NDA or the UPA rules, can think of doing something which is more meaningful, in the two States that they rule. What prevents the CPM Government from exempting petrol and diesel from the commercial taxes that are levied, which would result in a very significant fall in the petrol and diesel prices in West Bengal and Kerala, is any body"s guess.
Jokes apart, what is required is a medium to long term strategy aimed at providing petrol and diesel to the Indian consumer, at fair prices. Both the Central and the State Governments and the political parties need to realize that the Indian consumer can no longer be fleeced to such an extent that he has to pay 30% more than his Pakistani counterpart. There are, of course, other issues, arising out of the reduction of duties and taxes on fuel, in terms of the impact on the tax revenues, etc. With a booming economy and impressive tax collections, India is much better placed to handle the situation.
History has given Mr PC, the opportunity to take a fresh look at the fuel pricing methodology in India, when he presents the 2008-09 Budget. Given the current buoyancy in tax collections, let"s hope that he comes out with an 'out of the box" solution.
As some wise man said 'Logic includes the lack of it". The recent fuel price hike announced perhaps, is a classic example of this.
One last word, though. Where was the tearing hurry for the Government to announce the fuel price hike just two weeks before the Budget? Having waited for 20 long months, couldn"t they wait for two more weeks? Doesn"t the announcement undermine the whole Budget preparation exercise?

Pampers swaddlers Dry Max Diapers absorb-Away Liner helps keep babies dry and happy. Quilted blanket-like softness wraps babies in all-around comfort. Super-stretchy sides gives infants a flexible fit . Umbilical cord notch included in size N for more comfort for new babies. With our Dry Max design, these Swaddlers are our driest ever.
Average Price: $19.99
I have used pampers diapers for all 5 of my children and I currently use pampers swaddlers for my 6 month old son. I am so happy that pampers have extended the sizing up to size 6. These are the only diapers I buy for my son. We both love the softness of these diapers as well. He has never had a leak with these diapers.
I use these for my newborn. Great diapers. I have never had any problems with pampers diapers
When I had my first son people bought us packs of Pampers Swaddlers and Huggies and hands down Pampers Swaddlers are my favourite diaper. We've had no accidents of blow outs or leakage issues with this diaper. I have since tried a few other brands and I always come back to Pampers Swaddlers. I highly recommend this diaper!
we have tried other types and come back to this. less "blow outs"
This is what we use with our daughter and they work very well. They hold everything in really well and fit her nicely. She is pretty chunky so it was difficult to find a diaper that fits around her legs.
I will only buy the papers brand for my baby but usually dont buy the swaddlers. I was given a box as a gift and used them on my son and he ended up with a wicked rash. I changed him right back to his regular papers and it cleared up quickly.
J'adore ces couches.. Elles sont si douces, sentent bonnes et surtout sont très absorbantes..
Ma filles ne sent jamais mauvais avec.. C'est dommage qu'elles ne sont pas disponibles dans toutes les grandeur...
Love these!!! My son leaks through many different brands but not these. They also smell great!
I was introduced to Swaddlers when I had my little girl last year. They were so very soft against her delicate skin; that was very important to me. They also had great absorbancy. I really liked the wetness indicator on them. I used these for months because she was so tiny. I bought a box of Huggies becasue they were on sale and they didn't fit the same or guard against accidents on clothes. So I would definately recommend these to any new mom out there.
ii got this for my sister, now she useses this brand all the time,

Word is that the food is good, just not as outstanding as in Union Blvd location. We are so disappointed; it's further away and we just don't go downtown to eat. It's Creole and Cajun, well done.Full Review

Ripoff Report
HMG Nashville30 Nelson Merry Street Nashville, Tennessee United States of America
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
We attended HMG's annual convention in Nashville, TN. Artists had opportunities to perform their songs on stage. Afterwards, we found out that we could purchase a DVD copy of the performance for $100.
We ordered a copy, but was told later that the film of our performance had "disappeared". They refunded our money, but without much of an explanation.
Apparently, they filmed straight through all of the performances, but ours was mysteriously missing. Their only explanation was that the camera came unplugged. Yeah, right. It came unplugged just before the performance started and was plugged back in as soon as it ended. If that really did happen, the cameraman would know it.
This was a copout because they deliberately sabotaged the performance due to our Puerto Rican nationality. Everyone else (who was caucasion) received their DVD except us. They treated the whole thing as a joke. I don't recommend anyone using their services.

HMG is not like what this man said
SUBMITTED: Monday, October 07, 2013POSTED: Monday, October 07, 2013
There had to be a very good reason for them to have lost this. HMG is a very good reputable company and when you talk about Brenda Higgings like this, you obviously do not know her. They are a business and could have used that $100 but they gave it back to you and apologized. This is just not a fair statement at all.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Disclaimer: I do not own Human Target and intend no copyright infringement.
A fierce kick to his knee out of nowhere, followed straight by a devastating crowbar blow to his upper arm, sent him tumbling sideways and backwards at the same time. He lost his footing on the debris-cluttered abandoned garage's floor, spun around, got hit directly in the solar plexus – there went his weapon – and crashed face first into a brick-built windowsill. His chin felt like it was split wide open and it started bleeding immediately, but that was the least of his problems.
Junior looked up and sure enough, the bodyguard was pointing his weapon straight at him.
So this was it. He kind of had it coming, hadn't he? Well, at least the guy could aim well and didn't seem to get off on other people's pain. It wouldn't be much of a mess.
"Get up", he barked at Junior.
He was not going to kill him while he was on his knees? Junior would have never thought something like that would matter to him in the end, but it did. He slowly stumbled to his feet, wondering briefly if he should try one last attack but gave up the thought even before it was fully formed. The guy had beaten him flat out. Period.
"Now turn around and run!", he ordered him.
Junior was puzzled. Did he want to shoot him in the back? Some people liked to leave trademark wounds on their victims, was that it? Did this one shoot everyone in the back?
The bodyguard waved his gun impatiently. "Your assignment is over. The police is already knocking on your client's door. Now run!"
Junior's face was still one big question mark.
The older man shook his head. "You don't get it, do you? Nobody deserves to die." He waved the weapon again.
Finally Junior unfroze. He took a tentative step towards the exit, then another and then he was rushing out the door, still not fully able to believe his luck.
"Tell your boss Christopher Chance said hallo!", was the last thing he heard before he dashed out of that place and down the street as if the devil himself was after him.
… … …
It felt a little like cheating on Guerrero. And even more so when Junior came home and unexpectedly found his friend at the kitchen table of his apartment, picking noodles from a Chinese take away box with plastic chopsticks. Of course he sensed immediately that something was off.
"Everything okay, dude?"
"Yeah, everything's fine", Junior replied as casually as possible, quickly hiding the envelope he had received from another tracker in exchange for a ridiculously high amount of cash.
Guerrero rested his steely blue eyes on him for a moment so long, it almost brought Junior on the verge of confessing, but then he shrugged and returned his attention to the food.
If the old man hadn't gone totally ballistic at the mention of the name "Christopher Chance", Junior maybe wouldn't have started digging, but that and that damn sentence that kept reverberating in his mind had kept gnawing at him till he engaged a colleague of Guerrero's. Not quite as brilliant at gathering information as his friend, but he had come up with something. Curious, Junior skipped through the envelope's contents as soon as he was sure Guerrero was sound asleep on the couch in the living-room.
Guerrero, pretending to be sound asleep, heard Junior rustle with paper in the kitchen. He was behaving kind of weird lately. Guerrero wondered if he should be concerned, but decided against. Junior was still a bit rattled from the encounter with that bodyguard in San Francisco, but considering how reckless and easy-going his friend was, that effect would surely wear off soon.
… … …
It was one o'clock in the afternoon and Junior was dressing up in front of a stained mirror in a cheap hotel in the outskirts of San Francisco's Western Addition. As he adjusted his tie, the tiny scar on his chin caught his attention. It had been a part of him for two years now, he hardly noticed it anymore, but today was different. Maybe it was because he was in San Francisco again, maybe because the Tenderloin was only a few blocks away. Christopher Chance holed up there, at least according to the information he had received from that tracker.
For a very brief moment Junior imagined he could just go there, knock on his door and have a few beers with him. He'd like to ask him a question or two. There had been a bodyguard named Christopher Chance in Minneapolis, died 1927, one in Nashville, died 1954 and another one in Brooklyn, died 1975. Who were all these people? He'd also love to know how he had managed to piss the Old Man off so completely that they weren't even allowed to say his name around him.
But most of all: Why hadn't he killed him? "Nobody deserves to die…" Really? Not even he, Junior, who had killed so many and was about to kill another one in a few hours time?
Junior sighed and pushed the questions away. He had a job to focus on.
"Conrad Hall, Assistant US Attorney", he practiced.

Issue: I was charged with a DUI by the state of Washington. I originally paid a substantial sum of money to another competing law firm (intentionally unnamed) who charged me their premium rate and assigned me their most inexperienced lawyer. After four months I decided to cut my losses and find a better lawyer to trust my case to. If you are reading this, you are fully aware of how referring to your life as "a case" or "situation" doesn't do bear the weight of its true significance, given the amount of external effects teetering on the outcome of proceedings. We all want to have the best, and when paying large sums of money, we certainly deserve it. That being said, I was referred to Mr. Lousteau by a friend after leaving the aforementioned firm. Mr. Lousteau was referred to me as an "experienced trail lawyer".
Discussion: Mr. Lousteau took my case on short notice and was consistent, professional, and very straight forward. Mr. Lousteau's diligence and courtroom expertise showed in every interaction including face to face consults, over the phone, pretrial hearings and most importantly at trail. Mr. Lousteau's experience in the courtroom is confidence inspiring and reassuring that you have chosen well to entrust your situation with a professional attorney who has made you and your case a priority.
Recommendation: I was fortunate to have Mr. Lousteau defend me and by doing so, found not guilty, however, this would not change my review of his performance. I by no means intend to say that Mr. Lousteau can control the verdict. I aim to promote an attorney who is in my opinion the most experienced trail lawyer. If your situation is one to require trial, rest assured that Mr. Lousteau is truly in his element. I was fortunate to have someone recommend Mr. Lousteau to me, I hope my review is helpful in your decision.
Posted by Amanda
David Lousteau fought long and hard on my domestic violence case and the day before trial my case got dismissed..I'm very happy and satisfied with how he took care of my case. He is upfront about every thing and keeps you informed what is happening with your case and explains everything well to you .I highly recommend David Lousteau to anyone that is looking for a good attorney to fight hard for what is right for his client.
Posted by anonymous
I hired David for a domestic violence charge. It was the first and only time I had ever been charged with anything, and David was incredibly knowledgeable in regards to filling me in on all the details regarding the possible outcomes. He also was key in recommending places that would provide fair and accurate evaluations that proved very key in the successful result of my case.
Ryan Jacobsen, Real estate Attorney
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
David is a very energetic and motivated attorney who is very knowledgeable in DUI defense. I consult with him on matters where criminal law might come up in my civil and probate court cases. For those reasons, I refer anyone in need of an effective criminal defense attorney to David Lousteau.
Alexander Frix, Criminal defense Attorney
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I've personally seen David in the courtroom fighting for his clients. In the face of difficult opposing counsel and unyielding judges, he's obtained not guilty verdicts and other great outcomes for his clients. I endorse his work.

Tainted Saint, Chapter Forty-ThreeMature
And Cassandra ran and ran and ran...right into the arms of Hadrian.
Bursting through Hadrian's door, though she was uninvited, Cassandra let out an anguished cry and catapulted into Hadrian's arms. She half expected him to yell at her and shove her away, but instead, he wrapped her tightly against himself and tucked her head under his chin. Ignoring the pungent scent of liquor and body odor that always accompanied Hadrian, Cassandra allowed herself to be held.
After a short time, Hadrian pulled away and tipped Cassandra's chin so that their eyes met. "Cassandra," he said in the most comforting of his tones, "why are you here?"
"I need security," Cassandra swiftly responded, hiccuping through her tears.
"And why do you need security?"
Cassandra closed her eyes and leaned back into Hadrian's arms. "I've done an awful thing," she whispered.
"And what is that?" Hadrian asked, and for the first time, Cassandra heard no underlying hints of anger in his voice. He seemed perfectly gentle, perfectly caring...
"If I say, then you'll be angry with me," Cassandra replied, voice small from both fear and pain.
"You know I love you, Cassandra. If I'm ever angry with you, it's for your own good. It's because I love you."
Oh, how desperately Cassandra wanted to believe Hadrian's words! Yet she found herself still wary. Hadn't it been only a short while ago that she had borne bruises on her body from Hadrian's abuse? Hadn't it only been a short while ago that Hadrian had told her she was good for hardly anything but her body? Could a man like that truly love her?
Hadrian ran a hand through Cassandra's hair. "You doubt my love."
Yes. Yes, Cassandra did. She doubted Hadrian's love, but at the same time, she needed it. If she gave into Hadrian's base desires enough, wouldn't he finally love her completely? If he hated her, it was because she wasn't doing enough.
But Amadeo loves me, and I have done nothing for him...
Shrugging aside the disconcerting thought, Cassandra sniffed and wiped tears from her face. "I want you to love me, Hadrian," she said. "So I want you to know that I'll do whatever it takes, just as long as you love me."
"It's because I love you that I claim what you have to offer, Cassandra. I am who I am because I love you. Do you doubt that I love you?"
"I know about Lizzie."
Hadrian stiffened, but when he responded, his voice was as calm and collected as ever. "I did that to show you that I don't take it lightly when you run away from me, trinket."
"I don't like being called your 'trinket.'"
And with Cassandra's words, Hadrian's attitude changed entirely.

Discussion in 'Windows 7 Help and Support' started by Chris Selby, Apr 14, 2011.
What does it mean when it says RAM: 4.00gb (2.87gb usable) ?
The difference is probably down to two parts in your case. Firstly if you are running a 32 bit version of Windows it can only "see" about 3.5GB of RAM due to the number of bits required to address more. The other bit which you appear to be "missing" could be down to a number of reasons but most likely down to your video system using some "shared" RAM. If you wanted us to check this out you would need to give more details of your hardware and operating system.

|RE: Providing RMI access for a model 2 - shared deployment
|Wed, 14 Feb 2007 07:51:58 GMT
Hi Zukka, Thanks for your response (as always). "....you can simply configure your existing repository webapp to expose the RMI endpoint. Check the rmi-port, rmi-host, and rmi-uri init parameters in the RepositoryStartup servlet configuration within WEB-INF/web.xml in the Jackrabbit webapp." My setup: /Tomcat /conf server.xml - Configured as per http://jackrabbit.apache.org/doc/deploy/howto-model2.html to provide JackRabbit via JNDI - Snippet from server.xml below. /webapps app1 - using JNDI to access JackRabbit app2 - using JNDI to access JackRabbit So I don't actually have a deployed webapp based on the JackRabbit-webapp.war (http://mirrors.dedipower.com/ftp.apache.org/jackrabbit/binaries/jackrabbit- webapp-1.2.1.war). I have deployed that in the past to enable RMI access but only where "app1" and "app2" were then changed to use RMI over JNDI. So my clarifications are (as I'm rusty on RMI and JNDI): 1) do I need to deploy the JackRabbit-webapp and configure its JNDI and RMI settings such that it "replaces" the configuration in the server.xml?, or 2) do I need to deploy the JackRabbit-webapp such that uses JNDI to lookup the repository configured in the server.xml and then just exposes via RMI?, or 3) can I improve my server.xml and add the RMI library to common/lib to get JackRabbit registered in both JNDI and RMI WITHOUT the need to deploy JackRabbit-webapp?

Yes, in fact you shouldn't even need a separate Jackrabbit webapp, as you can simply configure your existing repository webapp to expose the RMI endpoint.

No matter what mood you're trying to create in a photograph, one thing about exposure values generally remains true: there should be pure black values and pure white values if you want your images to have pleasing contrast and reproduce well. If you can set a solid baseline of black tones and white tones—which varies with the image in question and the method of reproduction—you'll find your images have better overall contrast and even better color rendition. Reading the numerical values of pixels in highlights and shadows is a great way to ensure blacks are black enough and whites are white enough. If nothing else, setting only these values at each end of the spectrum will help prevent images from looking blah, muddy and bland.
To test your black point and white tones, open an image in Photoshop, Lightroom or any image editor that provides information on the RGB values corresponding to the pixels in a specific part of image. In Photoshop, this is done by selecting the eyedropper tool and positioning it over a particular value in a scene, then reading the RGB numbers as they appear in the Info palette.
For instance, drag your eyedropper over the deepest, darkest shadow in a scene. (It should be a fairly small area, as it's representing the total loss of detail, the very blackest of black.) Checking the values in the Info Palette you should see that the RGB numbers are very low, less than 15 for sure. If the numbers are much higher, your black values aren't especially black. Ideally, the darkest tones in an image should read close to pure black, which would be a reading of 0. But since 0 represents the total and complete loss of information, a better general purpose target for a good solid black is 10. At the other end of the spectrum, the lightest tones in the image should read close to pure white, which would be 255. A better target for a variety of print outputs is 245. (In each case, if an image is going to be reproduced on a glowing screen, a value closer to the extremes of 0 and 255 may be preferable.) Drag your eyedropper tool to the brightest area of the image and keep an eye on the RGB values in the Info palette.
Let's say you discover your white values measure only in the 200 range. That tells you that the area you want to read pure white (or close to it) is actually reading light gray. This could be a function of overexposure, or not enough contrast, or both. If your black values are too high—say 50 or so—then you know your blacks don't look black, they look dark gray.
Bear in mind that the software you use may provide a different readout than the 0 to 255 scale. Lightroom, for instance, displays RGB values in percentages, from 0 (black) to 100 (white). The principle, of course, remains exactly the same.
How you remedy any deviations in your readings is fodder for another tutorial, as there are a number of approaches. My preference is typically to use a Levels adjustment layer in Photoshop to easily slide white and black values into place. There are lots of ways to set appropriate black and white points, but the important thing is that you employ these tools to rely on a bit of science rather than your own biased eyes.
While you're in the Info Palette, you can check something else equally important without moving the eyedropper at all. Remember how we examined Red, Green and Blue values as a method for determining brightness? The difference in those values is a great way to measure neutrality as well. If a tone is truly neutral, each of the values will be about the same. A reading of 245/245/245 indicates a bright white without any color shift—i.e. correct white balance and neutral whites in the highlight areas. A reading of 10/10/10 represents a dark black pixel without any color shift in the shadows, and a reading of 125/125/125 represents a nicely neutral middle gray.

text: EUR/USD update (16th May 2012, 06:00) Market Moves Staff in Forex News 16 May 2012 0 share Share Tweet Email Share In US trade, is was a case of same story, different day, with Greek issues once again trumping everything else, just as it did for most of last year. The news out of Greece overnight was that it is set for elections again in June after a two-hour meeting of five party leaders yielded no breakthroughs in forming a new government. Though this was not a surprise, the clear lack of any middle ground among the various parties at the table triggered a sharp 'risk off' reaction, with the euro slumping 80 pips on the announcement. Also hurting sentiment towards the shared currency were reports that €700 million of cash deposits had been withdrawn from Greece's major banks in the week and a half since the stalemate election. Some are now suggesting that Greek citizens now see 'cash under the mattress' as being a safer option than cash in the bank. These negatives overshadowed some of the more positive news on the day, namely that German GDP came out stronger than expected (+0.5% versus a +0.1% consensus), and that fact that Greece met its €0.4 billion foreign-law bond redemption. Having ended yesterday's Australian trade around the 1.2850 level, the euro slumped to close the US session at 1.2729. Upon reopening for the Asian session, the euro is little changed, continuing to trade in the high-1.2720s.
