A good friend of mine, after going on several trips with me, wants to upgrade her gear. She is short, around 5'3 I think, and is looking for an for good sleep system. Inflatable pad like a Neoair (old one or Xlite) would be great or something similar, as would a down sleeping bag. She has Paypal.
Shoot me a PM if you have either or both such items laying around that are in good condition. Note that this would be shipped to Sweden, but all you have to do is fill out a simple customs form, and my friend is happy to pay the shipping fees.
@primezombieLocale: Scandinavia
My friend is still searching for a nice pad and bag. Sleeping pad more of a priority. I check gear swap a few times a day, and it seems like short sleeping pads go very quick!
Weight is not that big a deal, btw, but a short Neoair original or Xlite would be ideal.

text: Hello, Yesterday I installed Windows 7 on my brother's PC. He had been using Vista previously. Upon booting to the installer, the "Starting Windows" screen would appear with the animated windows logo. This screen took 20 minutes of waiting to get past, so for ages I thought it wasn't going to work at all. Eventually I left it on long enough to get through to the first stage of installation. Everything went ok during install, I formatted the single partition on the HDD and told Win7 to install there. The next two times the install had to restart the computer, the huge delay on getting past the "Starting Windows" screen remained (keep in mind this is before/during the install). Vista had no such issues with boot times. And now that Windows 7 is installed, the boot issues remain, even after installing all available windows updates, updating graphics/mobo/sound/mouse/keyboard drivers, etc. I have checked the Event Log as I have read that you can diagnose possible boot problems in there, but there doesn't appear to be any Boot Events logged, all I see in the Diagnostics-Performance log are Shutdown events. Specs are as follows: Windows 7 Ultimate x64 RTM Core 2 Quad 2.8Ghz 3GB DDR2 RAM 500GB Samsung SATA 7200rpm HDD Nvidia 9800GTX XFX nForce 780i SLI Motherboard (BIOS ver. P09) I have tried many things to fix it, such as removing various RAM modules, enabling/disabling various BIOS settings relating to USB/IDE (I don't use any IDE devices but thought I'd try)/RAID etc (also don't have my single HDD in RAID). If there is any other information I can give, please let me know. These boot times are crazy and I would very much like them to go away Thanks, Gareth.

We Will Shut Down the Army Experience Center at Franklin Mills Mall in Philadelphia on May 2, 2009
By Pat Elder
Killing is fun -- and life is cheap at the Army Experience Center at the Franklin Mills Mall in suburban Philadelphia.
"This is so cool!" This is so cool!" The enthralled 13 year-old kept repeating as he squeezed rounds from his M-16, picking off "enemy combatants" while perched on a real Army Humvee.
We're in the new Army Experience Center in suburban Philadelphia and the young teen, who doesn't look older than eleven, was obviously impressed with the Army's killing machines. "I just came to the mall to skateboard in the skate park across the hall but everyone said this was pretty cool. I just had to try it and its great!"
Video games offer the perfect segues between childhood innocence and institutionalized killing. That's why the Army opened the Army Experience Center, a one-of-a-kind, 14,500-square-foot "virtual educational facility" in August of 2008. Although the Army says it's not about recruiting, all 20 soldiers stationed at the mall are active duty recruiters.
From the popular America's Army video game:
The Army will run the Experience Center as a pilot program for up to two years when it will decide whether to launch them nationally, like so many Wal-Marts. Early reports regarding the success of the program indicate that the Army Experience Center is able to attract the same number of recruits as five traditional recruiting centers in the area surrounding Bensalem, the Philadelphia suburb where Franklin Mills Mall is located.
With the unemployment rate of Bensalem, Pennsylvania, steadily rising from 3.8% in December of 2006 to nearly double that rate today, the military chose an excellent location for the pilot program. Although the Army Experience Center cost more than $12 million to design and construct, the recruiters on duty explained that the Army is "giving back" to the community by preparing students for the high school equivalency test. The center includes 20 PC work stations where recruiters provide GED instruction for free.
Although most of the youth at Franklin Mills Mall seemed generally pleased with the shooting experience offered on the Humvee, the Black Hawk, and on the America's Army video game, avid gamers in their late teens are critical of the America's Army video game, at least compared to other popular killing games like Viking on the PS3 where gamers can hack their enemy to death with an axe, or Nintendo's Mortal Kombat where blood and intestines seem to hit the screen. Teens also complain that America's Army is unrealistic because good guys and bad guys can exchange point-blank automatic weapons fire for ten seconds before anyone goes down.
Youth and adults enjoy the killing games at the Army Experience Center at Franklin Mills Mall in Philadelphia:
Generally, however, the Army's killing game is fun for the teens in Philadelphia, especially because it's at the local mall and it's free.
The 14,500 square feet of retail space is laid out in several distinct sections, each attempting to sell the Army. Youth are impressed when they examine the Global Base Locator which highlights Army bases throughout the United States and around the world. The Career Exploration Area, using the same name as the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery Career Exploration Program, ASVABCEP that operates in 11,900 high schools across the country, lets visitors use its touch-screen technology to learn about 179 different Army career fields. This is where recruiters might engage youth in discussions of their interests to gauge possible career paths. For instance, if a teen explains that his favorite pastime is playing in a rock band, the recruiter might describe an Army career as a Bass Guitarist. If a potential recruit expresses interest in graphic arts, for instance, recruiters at the Army Experience center might suggest a job as a Multimedia Illustrator.
Of course, the Army is first and foremost about killing -- and the Army Experience Center is part of that mission. None of the recruiters at the center or their literature mention that soldiers in the Army may be killed in action or may be required to kill others, but the Army has a different spin. "The Army is not all about boots and guns," explains Army Major Larry Dillard, Army Experience Center Program Manager. "We want to give people the opportunity to experience the Army for themselves, so they have an understanding of what soldiers do, and they can be proud of their service."
"We're the good guys and they're the bad guys." - a 13 year old in Philadelphia:
The highlight of the Experience Center is the Black Hawk Simulator in which participants take a virtual tour through an Afghan mountain village while shooting at enemies who are trying to sabotage a U.S. medical convoy headed to a field hospital. "We're the good guys trying to bring medicine to people and the bad guys are trying to stop us from giving medicine to the sick and dying because they hate our freedoms." At least that's the way 13 year-olds in Philadelphia who've had fun "blowing people away" explain it.
The virtual shooting ranges and video games are an abomination that cheapen life and blur the lines between virtual killing and the real thing. We are outraged by this development. We see it as a dangerous escalation in the militarization of American society and we vow to shut it down.
Please join us on Saturday, May 2. We're simply encouraging people to show up early at the mall and spend some time shopping. Franklin Mills Mall Directory. Shopping bags are an excellent decoy. (The cops will suspect everyone with a shopping bag!) At 2:00 pm people will come out of the woodwork and converge on the Army Experience Center. It may not be wise to congregate into large groups before the demonstration or wear clothing that would suggest your participation in the protest. We think it's possible for hundreds of us to arrive at the mall without being detected. And it is a free country, sort of.
In America today, privately owned spaces like shopping malls are not generally considered to be public property like streets, sidewalks and public parks. It's a real problem for 1st Amendment enthusiasts because, well, because many of today's public spaces are…private.
Malls pose a special challenge for purposes of 1st Amendment activity. Generally, in Pennsylvania, if the owner of a mall doesn't want protesters, they have the "right" to demand that we leave. In February, 2009, 50 of us suddenly appeared at the Army Experience Center with large labels on our clothing that said, "War is not a game." The police and mall security were very cordial and repeatedly asked us to leave. After about 15-20 minutes of negotiating with officials, the "freeze action" dissipated. We made our point. No one was arrested and everyone was pleasant.
Franklin Mills Mall is owned by a huge multinational corporation, Simon Property Group, Inc., NYSE:SPG. Headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana, SPG is the world's largest retail outlet owner. It owns or has an interest in at least 380 properties in the United States comprising more than 258,000,000 square feet in 39 states. Simon Property Group also holds interests in 52 malls around the world. Maybe we're out on a limb here, but Simon is probably more concerned with protecting the rental income from its tenant, the U.S. Army, than protecting our 1st Amendment Rights. David Simon, co-owner of Simon Property Group, is an Army veteran. Simon says, "Shop!" And part of what he's selling is the Army. Simon, however, is not our primary adversary. We're targeting the Army. We're simply going to convince Melvin Simon and David Simon that leasing to the Army is a bad idea and we intend to affect their bottom line until the Army goes.
So where does all this leave us?
We can enter the Army Experience Center and cause a great big fuss at 2:00 pm until we're asked to leave and then we can take our time to get out. We'll go to peacefully and artistically express our indignation at this abomination. Some are planning on singing. Some will unfurl banners, some will chant and some will cry. There's talk of a die-in. We are people of peace. We're nonviolent. The Army is Shock and Awe, Abu Ghraib, recruiting lies, a thousand rapes, and cool video games.
Immediately after the action, we have a location picked out for a demonstration on public property -- on the street -- right outside of Franklin Mills Mall where we have the "right" to peacefully assemble.
We demand the Army close up shop at Franklin Mills Mall and we're determined to block the expansion of this monstrosity in malls across the nation. We will be successful in this campaign because we'll bring in enough protestors to attract national media attention. Simon will get the message that leasing to the Army was a mistake and other retailers will learn from his miscalculation. If he doesn't close it down, we'll return in greater numbers.
The demonstration being planned for 2 pm on May 2, 2009 at Franklin Mills Mall has been endorsed by Code Pink Women for Peace, World Can't Wait, Student Peace Action Network, SPAN, Peace Action Montgomery, Next Left Notes, American Friends Service Committee - Youth & Militarism Program, Staten Island Chapter of the Movement for a Democratic Society, Gray Panthers, NYC Network, AfterDowningStreet.

There is no other crime in America that is comparable to the 9/11 attack including the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. If your mind is open and you desire to see the evidence please watch the speech by Richard Gage at this web address
Dan Rather CBS nightly news anchor stated, "We're going to show you a video tape of the collapse itself. For the third time today we're going to show you, it is reminiscent of a building deliberately destroyed by dynamite to knock it down."
The comments by CBS reporter Dan Rather and other witnesses at the WTC scene were never repeated since those moments on 9/11. That contrasts to the current story being replayed over and over right now when Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez met President Obama, shook his hand, and handed him a copy of his book. Last month there were hundreds of broadcasts of Olympic swimming great Michael Phelps smoking a bong. Why do media producers make these choices?
To be able to grasp the validity and purpose of the media it is important to be able to evaluate the censorship of an overwhelming event – explosions at the moment of the collapse of all three WTC buildings – compared to repeated broadcasts of inconsequential occurrences. For the entire American nation to ignore the comparison of news broadcasts that fills our minds with trivial nonsense while it censors a devastating crime capable only by the Commander in Chief is the essential issue being raised.
There are many other facts and evidence that point directly at President Bush besides the explosions that collapsed the WTC. Another fact is that the NORAD F-16 jet fighters stationed at Andrews AFB, 15 miles from DC, to protect the Pentagon from enemy attack were ordered to leave their post to be in a training exercise 180 miles south in North Carolina. I served in the Navy on board submarine USS Trigger and stood watch armed with a loaded .45 to prevent boarders on the boat and on the pier. Leaving that post would result in a Court Martial. Only the Commander in Chief has the power to order the NORAD General Ralph Eberhardt to have his pilots abandon the post. The Air Force has hundreds of F-16's that could have been used for the training mission in North Carolina.
Which conspiracy theory do you prefer to believe? There is the government's theory or there is the conspiracy reality proven by the evidence that Richard Gage presents that shows the footage and the commentary being broadcast at the scene by notable reporters and first responders. President Bush and his vast group of admirers love to claim that Bush kept us safe since 9/11. Bush neglects to explain that he kept us safe from himself.
The 9/11 Commission never mentioned one word about the collapse of Building 7 in its report. That omission is conclusive evidence that the 9/11 Commission covered-up the truth. To completely ignore the collapse of that 47 story building, never hit by any plane, speaks for itself. You need to really want to be misled to ignore that omission.
Controlled demolition needs thousands of charges synchronistically timed resulting in a free fall collapse. Typical features are direct evidence of explosives, dust clouds, cutter charges, and a total collapse of the steel structure ready for shipment.
Expert corroboration by control demolition experts stated that the columns of steel inside the buildings were removed by slashing the steel with thermate. Thermate is an incendiary pyrotechnic composition that can generate short bursts of exceedingly high temperatures focused on a small area for a short period of time.
WTC building 7 is a 47 story building 100 yards from the North Tower that had two small fires. It was never hit by a plane. It collapsed after 5:00 PM on 9/11 about eight hours after the planes hit the WTC Towers.
Craig Bartner of the NYFD stated, "The whole time you're hearing thoom, thoom, thoom, thoom, I think I know an explosion when I hear it. That didn't sound like just a building fall down. I was real close to building 7 falling down. That's one of the things I live with all the time and a lot of guys should be saying the same thing."
After I heard numerous firefighters, reporters, and other people who were at the WTC complex within minutes of the two planes that crashed into the North and South Towers state that they heard explosions, I became suspicious. It never came to my mind that all of these people were hallucinating. To have hundreds of witnesses to any crime who were being ignored by law enforcement is extremely convincing that there is intimidation by very powerful officials who decided to gag the witnesses.
I have a personal experience of observing a conspiracy by senior government and media decision makers. I wrote and published this story titled Just Cause Just Facts in 2005. My experience in this case that began in 1987, gave me first hand exposure to the willingness of the government's team to jump into protecting a huge Wall Street fraud even though they had no apparent benefit other than being on the team.
The most common defense used to discredit citizens who choose to learn the truth is to call them "conspiracy nuts". I learned that the nuts are the citizens who believe the government's version of 9/11. The credibility of the most senior government and media officials has been bullet proof even after they are caught in one lie after the next. This is a cultural trait that isn't likely to change. If the evidence of the 9/11 case continues to be ignored the outlook for change is bleak.
President Obama has promised change and is determined to "look forward". That is a sly way to obstruct justice. Justice is impossible when criminal investigations are prevented. When criminal laws are applied to regular citizens but are suspended for the most powerful, most senior officials who are considered royalty by President Obama, our revolution and Constitution just disappeared before our eyes.
Americans have destroyed their own country. The conflict of interest being ignored is an irrational medical disorder that can only be treated by citizens who will unite to form a third party determined to win an election. There are no signs for hope that the 9/11 incident will trigger a new beginning.

Luscious Leeks for Your Feast
When it comes to Thanksgiving, our family is pretty set in our traditions. Once a year we are consumed by a need for bourbon-brined turkey, oyster stuffing and creamy mashed potatoes awash in a deep, dark pool of gravy. I'm somewhat addicted to an ever-evolving cranberry dish with pears and ginger, and the necessity for pecan and pumpkin pie practically goes without saying. But when it comes to the other sides, I like to bring something new to the table and am open to anything my guests care to bring. Items involving marshmallows or canned cream of mushroom soup don't top my list, but hey, as long as there are the aforementioned "staples," I can be flexible.
Even though I have always been a big fan of the leek—the creaminess of these mild alliums never fails to wow me and their luscious flavor borders on decadent—until last week I had not considered them as Thanksgiving fare. Then a haphazard lunch of leftover mashed potatoes, squash and braised leeks with thyme so pleasantly warmed my soul with the flavors of Thanksgiving, I knew they would be a perfect addition. Braised leeks are meltingly creamy with a delicate flavor that will complement most any traditional dish. And if you don't use a ton of butter, they are much lighter than the creamed pearl onion dish that is part of many traditions. Whether or not the latter is on your must-have list, a side of sleek, farm fresh leeks will sidle up to all your Thanksgiving traditions oh so nicely and just may become one of their own.
This is more of a method than a "recipe." The butter, liquids and herbs can be switched out to suit your meal or mood. Adding chopped apples to the leeks and substituting apple cider for part of the liquid adds a nice sweet note that is particularly wonderful with halibut or poultry.
4-6 leeks
3-4 Tbsp unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups white wine or stock, or combination of both
2 teaspoons fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried
Salt and pepper to taste
Cut off and discard the tops of the leeks at the point they turn from light to dark green. Slice through the shank of the leek lengthwise until you get to the root end—do not cut through the root. Rinse thoroughly.
Once the leeks are free of any dirt or grit, cut off the root and cut through the base to make 4 long pieces for each leek. Cut the leeks in half or thirds crosswise so that you have 4"-5" lengths. If your leeks are really thick you may want to cut the pieces lengthwise again.
Melt butter in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the leeks and cook, stirring often, until they are softened and beginning to brown, about 10 minutes.

Export HTML
From Scoop.It
After you put all that work into curating awesome content into your Scoop.it boards, one way to leverage the content is by exporting an email newsletter template!
If you're a MailChimp user you can directly connect the two… or just simply export the HTML and put it into your ESP (email service provider)'s autoresponder newsletter field that takes HTML.
First, go into your topic. You need to be within an individual Scoop.it topic/board in order to find the right menu.
For example: http://www.scoop.it/t/socialmediamktg/
Second, in the grey menu bar, you will see a "More" option. Selecting that opens a drop-down menu and you will find "Create Newsletter".
Clicking that opens the "Create A Newsletter" page.
This is also found at: http://www.scoop.it/t/YourTopicURL/exportByEmail
There are only a few settings on this page – because that's all you need!
Select the number of posts to export: 4, 6, 8, 10, 16, 20 or 24
Select if you want the Twitter/FB/LinkedIn share buttons to be embedded below each item.
Then either connect your account to MailChimp OR select to download the file OR select to have the file emailed to yourself.
As I'm not a MailChimp user (they disallow affiliate marketers) I went the other route. (MailChimp users, click here, for the official tutorial which is just slightly out of date at this time.)
I first emailed it to myself – but rather than emailing me an HTML file they emailed me the newsletter. That was a lot less than helpful as it can't be sent to my list like that.
So I clicked "Download as Zip File".
I unzipped the zip and there was my lovely little HTML file.
While you do not need to edit it at all, I opened mine in Dreamweaver (or any HTML editor) and made a few minor tweaks.
One of the things I did was to manually alter all the Twitter share buttons to include my Twitter ID. This is a very time consuming task and I'm not sure I'll always take the time to do it. ScoopIt really should fix that issue.
The other thing I did was to clean up some of the descriptions. Just minor little stuff to create a slightly cleaner look with more emphasis on my personal commentary.
From there you can do anything with this HTML file!
You could share it on your blog if you wanted to (but you will have to manually decrease it's width which is not easy) … or, as I did, drop it into the HTML source code box of my autoresponder provider and send it as a newsletter!
Take the HTML, drop it in your autoresponder provider, and you have a very nice looking broadcast email that shows off all of the work you have done this month!
Things I'd like to see improved:
- Get my twitter URL into those tweet buttons
- Make the design mobile responsive
- Give the ability to specify an output width
Newsletter options used to be exclusively for paid Scoop.it members but you can now export, each topic, once a month, for free. (Because you only get one, be sure your settings are right before clicking export!) Newsletter pricing details here.
If you're using Scoop.it to build your brand authority this is a really useful way to leverage this work into another media format!

Oooh, shiny!
En forme, Mr Dog. He's no advertisement for Oxford.
I eagerly await the poll results comparing the popularity of Mr Rabbott with Ross River Fever.
Ironic that he would be lucky to be about 81 cents in the Oxford Scholar.
How come the newspaper that paid for the accommodation costs and for the escorts,(well they already had the number after the dial-a-pro/"I slept with thompson" affair), doesn't get a trot somewhere?
Not a fig, eh?
Well, I don't give a flying fig for the cacaphone's evasions.
I am the very model of a Leader Oppositional
I've information vegetable, animal and mineral
Atlantic, Southern, Indian, the Arctic and Pacific
But about that strange chap Ashby I know nothing that's specific
What a great ornament to the Estate of the late Cecil Rhodes Mr Rabbott is…though I suspect that he is exactly the sort of fine upstanding half-sentient pugilistic mustelid that Rhodes had in mind as a misleader of empire.
Top work Andybob. From The Muckado?
Interesting work of forensic IT at Independent Australia:
Even the Rupertarians must be beginning to realise that the stench cannot be concealed forever.
Thanks, rwh. Mustelid is a new word for me and it's a beauty.
Really FD.
It's simply not cricket to slag off Tony's pal Mal like that.
P.S. Awesome stuff Andybob.
Champion, Andybob. I think the original was a hit for Gilbert O'Sullivan if memory serves.
Dog#1, in the spirit of every other publication at this time of year, perhaps you could consider holding a Top 20 of your best skewerings of personailities your 'toons have carried out in 2012. Lounge members will happily vote, I am sure.
We could call it the 2012 Dog Food Awards.
Then again, Tony Abbott would win the first 12 spots hands down .. or would he?
Nice work rhwombat; the spin cycle will be set to full speed for that one.
The puss gallery are going to get you FD if you keep comparing their concentration span to a goldfish on speed.
Neat work, Andybob.
Drovers cat has come up with a fine idea. Alternatively we may call it the 2012 Dog Dis(h) Awards.
Oh look! Is that lint in your navel Toady?
[Andy, Pinafore on the donkey?]
@drmick, I do wish people would stop this relentless slander on the species Carassius auratus auratus. They have been shown to have rather good attention spans relative to the size of their brain. I liken the press gallery more to magpies – the are easily distracted by shiny objects, are known to hoard and be reluctant to let go of things that are no longer relevant or useful, and are prone to swooping on innocent people without warning. On the plus side though, they can be quite friendly and will even eat out of your hand.
"Things are seldom what they seem"?
@stevo, I think of the press gallery as houseflies – quite capable of spending their lives buzzing around inside an empty jar, but happiest hanging around a big stink.
It's a fair cop, guv'nor.
Just the same Stevo, I would count me fingers afterwards.
Klewso; you could be right. The abbut has huge buccan-ears.
ANDYBOB: Strictly top of the class. Olé. Could have signed it 'The Lord High Executioner?'
ANDYBOB: Could you have signed it……..why not?
ANDYBOB: Sorry, I just had to enter the spirit of your fantastic effort.
Three little crooks who, all very wary
Come from a Catholic seminary
Everything is a source of fun
Nobody's safe, for we care for none
Those on the left are so much scum
Three little crooks are we
"pugilistic mustelid" Thank you, rhwombat!
Excellent comment on the commentariat
Thanks for the link, rhwombat.
It's a good thing Toady's standing on Brough's shoulders?

What does European institutional integration tell us about trade integration?
The start of the European Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) has spurred a new interest in the debate on the effects of monetary unions on regional economic integration. This literature either investigates past episodes of monetary unions or attempts to gauge any effect with a few years of EMU data. This paper takes instead a more general perspective - it investigates the link between economic integration and the overall institutional process of regional integration in Europe – of which monetary integration was only one step – over the last 50 years. We look mainly at two dimensions - European institutional integration – whose main steps were the customs union in 1968, the single market in 1993 and the single currency in 1999 – and intra-European trade. We pay special attention to the successive EU enlargements which took place in 1973, 1981, 1986, and 1995. Different facets of openness and trade linkages are presented. After looking at some descriptive links between institutional and trade integration, the paper uses some causality tests to assess the direction of causality and magnitude of impact. The evidence provided is consistent with the idea that the interaction between regional institutional and trade integration before monetary union matters. Such interaction runs in both directions, although the link from institutional to trade integration dominates. Many open questions remain, however.

I found this picture on an art site, but it only came in a small size. Then I found the larger one at Walmart.com. I was concerned about the quality, but was pleasantly surprised when it arrived! The quality matched similar items purchased from art sites. Very pleased with my purchase. The picture is amazing!
I love the colors in this picture. I wasn't sure it would fit in with the other art in the room since it has so much energy going on but it is perfect.
I received much sooner than I expected to pick up at Walmart. I was not disappointed. The
colors were beautiful and gave my livingroom just that kick of color it needed. I was very pleased.
I bought this painting as I was looking for something with some deep color. The reds are stunning in it! It's a really lovely painting of very nice quality but the background is a little darker than I expected. Keeping that in my though, overall it's beautiful painting. Maybe it would look better on a light wall instead of a darker one.
The colors are so rich. It definitely makes a statement. The cost, compared to other internet sellers, is great. Very pleased with the purchase and would not hesitate to buy WalMart canvas art again.
This picture is very nice and has great color. Good quality merchandise.. I would definately reccommend this to a friend.

Journalist Demessie Damte 1953 – 2012
Demessie Damte was an accomplished sports journalist and a commentator with demonstrated passion for sport and his country. For over more than three decades, Demessie reported on thousands of Ethiopian sports news stories with a style that has come to be his unique hallmark.
He was born in 1953 in the eastern Ethiopian city of Harar and began cultivating his skills in sports journalism in his teenage years while attending school.
He continued working his way up in the field to eventually find himself working for the national broadcaster as a TV and radio journalist. Soon, he became a household name and a very influential and respected journalist.
A talented professional and a fanatic sports commentator, Demessie made many Ethiopians fall in love with his style of sports news presentation.
Many say they prefer to listen to his passionately delivered commentaries on the radio than watch the same match on TV. He travelled to many parts of the world along with some of the most talented Ethiopian sportspeople to report on their competitions, and he always exceeded expectations by delivering sports news stories with incredible enthusiasm and engaging reportage. The way he gave live commentaries on matches involving Ethiopian teams and the way he presented sports news stories inspired thousands of Ethiopians to get into sport and also to be patriotic Ethiopians too. He was a unique journalist many Ethiopians find to be of great inspiration.
Demessie died on 5 November 2012 after battling diabetes for years and is survived by his wife and their three children.

Donald Trump Said A Lot Of Gross Things About Women On "Howard Stern"
In the hours of audio reviewed by BuzzFeed News, Trump ranks, rates, and degrades women.
Donald Trump's rise toward the Republican nomination has been fueled, in part, by his candid and often crude style — more Howard Stern, say, than Mitt Romney.
And the roots of Donald Trump's rhetoric come, in fact, in part from The Howard Stern Show. Trump appeared upwards of two dozen times from the late '90s through the 2000s with the shock jock, and BuzzFeed News has listened to hours of those conversations, which are not publically available. The most popular topic of conversation during these appearances, as is typical of Stern's program, was sex. In particular, Trump frequently discussed women he had sex with, wanted to have sex with, or wouldn't have sex with if given the opportunity. He also rated women on a 10-point scale.
"A person who is very flat-chested is very hard to be a 10," he told Stern in one typical exchange.
Women make up a majority of the American electorate, and any of dozens of Trump's remarks would be considered a severe blow to most candidates for public office. Trump has, in the Republican primary, proven largely immune to the backlash that the laws of gravity in politics would predict, but there are also suggestions that he has a deep problem with some women voters: 68% of women voters held an unfavorable view of Trump in a Quinnipiac poll released in December. In a Gallup poll also released in December, Trump had the lowest net favorable rating out of all the candidates among college-educated Republican women. And should he win the nomination, his comments are sure to become ammunition for Democrats against what they have long cast as a Republican "war on women."
Trump has a history of making crude remarks toward women. He reportedly said of his ex-wife Marla Maples, "Nice tits, no brains," and more recently, he has called Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly a "bimbo" and a "lightweight" and said she had "blood coming out of her wherever" during the first GOP debate.
The focus of Trump's attentions when interviewed by Stern was commonly female celebrities — movie and television stars, recording artists, models, and media personalities.
Trump, in more than one instance, expressed his admiration for and attraction to Diana, Princess of Wales.
Months after Diana was killed in an automobile accident in 1997, Trump told Stern he thinks he could have slept with her, saying she had "supermodel beauty." In a different interview in 2000, Trump said he would have slept with her "without hesitation" and that "she had the height, she had the beauty, she had the skin." He added, "She was crazy, but these are minor details."
Describing Angelina Jolie, he said, "I never thought she was good-looking. I don't think she's got good skin. I don't think she's got a great face. I think her lips are too big, to be honest with you, they look like too big."
On several different occasions, Trump ranked or rated women on their looks.
In one instance, Trump ranked his top 10 most beautiful women, and while his then-girlfriend Melania Knauss took the top spot, Trump told Stern he definitely would have sex with Mariah Carey, Cindy Crawford, and Princess Diana, who also made the list. In another appearance, Trump assigned each of the actors on ABC's Desperate Housewives a score of 1 to 10 based on their attractiveness. He said of one of the actors, Nicollette Sheridan: "A person who is very flat-chested is very hard to be a 10." When he got to Marcia Cross, he asked Stern, "Would you go out with Marcia Cross or would you turn gay, Howard?"
In the interviews, Stern and his co-hosts often introduced the most vulgar elements into the conversation, but Trump was almost always willing to go along. Talking about Pamela Anderson's hepatitis C diagnosis in 2000, Stern asked Trump, "Would you do her, still?"
Trump replies, "No, I'm sorry."
Robin Quivers, Stern's sidekick, then asked Trump whether he would choose to sleep with Anderson or Whoopi Goldberg.
"You know, right now, I have to go with Whoopi," replied Trump. "Look, it's a terrible thing. It's a sad thing. You know, it's a terrible thing."
Trump also discussed his involvement with beauty pageants. After purchasing the Miss USA pageant in 1997, Trump said he would make the "bathing suits to be smaller and the heels to be higher." In 2005, when promoting the pageant on Stern's show, Trump said, "If you're looking for a rocket scientist, don't tune in tonight, but if you're looking for a really beautiful woman, you should watch."
3. Here's selected audio from Trump's many appearances:
4. After buying the Miss USA pageant in 1997, Trump said he would get the "bathing suits to be smaller and the heels to be higher."
5. Later in the same interview, Trump speculated he could've gotten with Princess Diana.
"Why do people think it's egotistical of you to say you could've gotten with Lady Di?" Stern asked. "You could've gotten her, right? You could've nailed her."
"I think I could have," Trump said.
6. In May 2000, Trump listed his top 10 women and again said he would have slept with Princess Diana given the opportunity:
His list, in order:
Melania Knauss (his girlfriend at the time)
Ivana Trump (his first wife)
Princess Diana
Michelle Pfeiffer
Cameron Diaz
Julia Roberts
Cindy Crawford
Mariah Carey
Gwyneth Paltrow
Diane Sawyer
Trump admitted that some of the names were on the list for political reasons, but he told Stern he definitely would have sex with Mariah Carey, Cindy Crawford, and Princess Diana, whom he continued to hold a flame for.
"I never get this thing with Lady Di," Stern said.
"I think she's magnificent," Trump said. "Lady Di was truly a woman of great beauty."
"Would you have slept with her?" Stern interjected.
"Without even hesitation," Trump said.
"She had the height, she had the beauty, she had the skin — the whole thing," Trump said, before adding that "she was crazy, but these are minor details."
7. In one 2002 discussion on Pamela Anderson publicly announcing that she had hepatitis C, Trump, mocking Anderson, said he'd rather sleep with Whoopi Goldberg or Rosie O'Donnell:
"It's very bad news about Pam Anderson, that is really bad," Trump said of her diagnosis with hepatitis C, the debilitating disease that causes inflammation of the liver.
Anderson said she contracted the disease after sharing a needle for tattoos with then-husband Tommy Lee (she recently announced she was cured).
"Would you do her, still?" asked Stern.
"No, I'm sorry," responded Trump.
Robin Quivers interjected, asking Trump whom he would rather have sex with, Anderson or Whoopi Goldberg.
"You know, right now, I have to go with Whoopi," said Trump. "Look, it's a terrible thing. It's a sad thing. You know, it's a terrible thing."
But what about Rosie O'Donnell or Anderson, asked Quivers.
"You have to go for life. You have to go for life. Always. I'm having a good time with life. I want to live."
"It sounds to me like it's just a disaster," Trump said of Anderson's disease.
8. In 2004, Trump told Stern he trusted his then-girlfriend (and current wife) Melania so much that he doesn't pull out during sex.
9. And, in September 2004, Trump admitted he wasn't a huge fan of oral sex:
10. In Sept. 2005, Trump ranked the Desperate Housewives cast on their appearances:
Nicollette Sheridan was "solid four," said Trump. "I liked the way she used to look."
"Would you go out with Marcia Cross or would you turn gay, Howard?" said Trump, asking who he would date.
"She's got a good body, just put a bag on her head," replied Stern.
"Solid four to five," added Trump on Cross.
And of Teri Hatcher, added Trump, "A six."
"She's really bouncy, really cute, she's got beautiful skin," Trump said of Eva Longoria.
Trump ranked her a seven.
11. "Would you go out with Marcia Cross or would you turn gay, Howard?"
12. "A person who is very flat-chested is very hard to be a 10," said Trump of Sheridan.
13. Trump also said of Carmen Electra, "The boob job is terrible — they look like two light posts coming out of a body."
14. In another exchange, Stern asked Trump if he'd ever slept with a black woman. Trump awkwardly replied, "Yes."
15. In a separate 2005 interview in April, Trump talked about how he wanted to have more kids with newlywed wife Melania: "I mean, I won't do anything to take care of them."
"'Cause I like kids," said Trump. "I mean, I won't do anything to take care of them. I'll supply funds and she'll take care of the kids. It's not like I'm gonna be walking the kids down Central Park."
16. And in that same interview, Trump found himself puzzled by email, noting, "Half of my friends are under indictment right now because they sent emails to each other about how they're screwing people."
"What really fascinates me is email. I have friends — first of all — half of my friends are under indictment right now because they sent emails to each other about how they're screwing people," said Trump. "Email is unbelievable. They'll talk on the phone, they can't even say hello, they don't want to say hello or goodbye, and yet they'll write you a message that they're having sex with 15 different married women. It's unbelievable. Email is unbelievable."
17. Later, while promoting his Miss USA pageant, Trump said you should look elsewhere for rocket scientists.
18. In 2006, Trump rated some of Hollywood's leading ladies, rating Angelina Jolie a five and Jennifer Aniston a "six or a seven." Trump again said of Princess Diana: "Other than she was wacky, I think she was close to a 10." Trump said Jolie had "bad skin."
19. In 2007, Trump made a series of fat jokes about Rosie O'Donnell, whom he was publicly feuding with at the time, saying she ate his entire wedding cake and might beat him in a fight if she fell in the right direction.
"I think it'd be pretty close — if she ever fell in the wrong direction I wouldn't have a chance," said Trump in the late 2007 interview.
"She was at the wedding and I got extremely angry because she ate almost the entire wedding cake," added Trump of his wedding to his second wife, Marla Maples.
20. In an October 2007 interview, Trump expanded on his opinion of Angelina Jolie, declaring her not good-looking. He also expressed disgust that she was "frenching her brother" at the Academy Awards.
"I don't think she's good-looking," declared Trump. "I don't know what it is. I never thought she was good-looking. I don't think she's got good skin. I don't think she's got a great face. I think her lips are too big, to be honest with you, they look like too big."
"I don't think she's good-looking," continued Trump. "You talk about a transformation. Now the United Nations is honoring her as this great, wonderful — I remember three years ago she was frenching her brother at the Academy Awards. She was walking in with Billy Bob and she was saying she got screwed in the car. Now they're saying she's a lady of the peace. I mean, give me a break. I never thought she was good-looking."
21. In 2008, Trump said it would be difficult for him to get an erection for Madonna.
22. Here's the full conversation, which includes a long riff on breast surgery (implants and reductions). Trump notes that he thinks "anyone is insane" who reduces the size of their breasts.
23. And, said Trump, women throw themselves at him: "They'll walk up, and they'll flip their top, and they'll flip their panties."
24. But remember, says Trump, practice safe sex:
- "I wish we would hear you say these names." People are sharing this letter from journalist Dan Rather to Trump about the Portland victims.
- Trump tweeted Sunday that he wants to spend more on health care, an unexpected position that appears to be at odds with his party's policy.
- After spending the G-7 summit with Donald Trump, Angela Merkel said Germany can no longer fully rely on the US or the UK.
- A 17-year-old is blazing the way for California to become the first state to legally recognize a nonbinary gender option.

Connexin 43 (Cx43) is a predominant gap junction (GJ) protein that is expressed by pulmonary alveolar epithelial cells, both in situ and in primary culture. Cx43 expression increases with culture time, as type II cell isolates assume a more type I cell-like phenotype. In these cell populations, Cx trafficking, assembly, and turnover are regulated by diverse pathways, including those that involve integrin-mediated cell-extracellular matrix interactions and/or elements of the cytoskeleton. Immunocytochemical double labeling demonstrates the association of microtubules with the cellular internalization of Cx43-positive GJ plaques. Antibodies against the α5 integrin subunit block cell-extracellular matrix interactions, with little effect on tubulin expression. In contrast, the inhibition of mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase by PD98059 reduces tubulin expression, based either on direct immunostaining or on Western blot analysis. To examine the association of microtubules with GJ plaques, day 3 cells were exposed with colchicine (0.5 to 24 h). The drug disassembled the microtubules within 60 min, whereas Western blot showed no change in tubulin abundance. Colchicine caused a parallel redistribution of immunopositive Cx43 from the plasma membrane to the cytosol. These data are consistent with the conclusion that in alveolar epithelial cells, the direct association of cytoskeletal proteins with GJs plays a role in the regulation of Cx43 expression and intracellular distribution via integrin-mediated signal transduction pathways.

Danny Gokey may have left the building, but for the next three weeks, another gifted and likable Milwaukee entertainer will be starring in a wildly successful national show.
Like "American Idol," this show includes audience participation. Better yet, it also involves a talented supporting cast. And you can see it live without ever leaving Milwaukee.
For the fourth time in eight years, John McGivern and his cast of usual suspects are staging a Milwaukee production of "Shear Madness," the freewheeling farce that is the longest continuously running non-musical in American theater history.
The recipe for success is deceptively simple.
There's been a murder in the rooms above the hair salon owned by flamboyantly gay hairdresser Tony Whitcomb. Tony (McGivern), his tarty assistant Barbara (Mary MacDonald Kerr), a shifty antiques dealer (Norman Moses) and a snobby socialite (Jenny Wanasek) are the suspects.
Two detectives (Christopher Tarjan and Lee Ernst) invite the audience to help solve the crime. The identity of the murderer can change nightly - depending on what the audience observes and the questions it asks.
Taken by themselves, these ingredients are the stuff of run-of-the-mill detective novels. But there's so much more.
Start with the manic humor. "Madness" delivers enough jokes - with an emphasis on the malaprops that work particularly well in farce - to bust a laugh-o-meter.
Add a heavy dose of broadly physical and suggestively sexual comedy, served up by a cast of veteran actors with impeccable timing.
Mix in up-to-date local references on topics like Wisconsin's lousy spring weather, allegedly fixed sausage races, the Fonz statue and Danny Gokey's infamous screech.
Garnish with a surprise guest appearance on opening night Friday by radio celebrities Dave Luczak and Carole Caine, giving us an update on the murder investigation.
Finally, add the secret sauce: The deliberate heightening in "Madness" of the adventure and risk that can make theater so special.
It isn't just this crazy show, after all, that features a constantly changing performance. Every good play does so, and subtle changes in chemistry between actors and between a cast and its audience write a new script every night.
The ultimate secret in the "Shear Madness" mystery therefore isn't really about whether Tony is guilty. It's about how and why - in any first-rate confection like this one - we get sucked in enough to care.

There's a new menace in town, in every town, across the world that threatens our very way of life. It doesn't sleep, doesn't eat and certainly doesn't care about anyone else but itself. It can strike at any time of the day, and as many times as you're willing to let it.
It known as the productivity killer, and has been known to use the alias "time burglar." Those deadlines seem to creep eerily closer whilst the time burglar is busy distracting you with emails, phone calls, social media and even mind controlling colleagues to make sure distraction wins.
Don't fret, we've been tracking the productivity killer's every move and can help you eliminate this threat for good. Simply Business recently created an interactive productivity guide that compiles resources from the top productivity experts to help you get things done. It has videos, how-to articles, and tools to help five time suckers:
- Collaboration
- Meetings
- Workload
- Travel
Click image to open interactive version.
Simply Business also interviewed entrepreneurs to get their personal productivity tips. With all of this information at your disposal, you'll be defeating the productivity ninja at no time.
A word of caution: This isn't going to be easy, and there may be some temptation to succumb along the way. With Simply Business' help, our advice and your focus and discipline – we can take him out together.
Determine the productivity killer's preferred time of attack
The PK (productivity killer) typically looks for unique vulnerabilities in each person, including the time of day in which to strike because your guard is typically down. The best way to determine when he's running amuck is to determine when you have the hardest time concentrating on one task.
"The PK has been hitting me every morning when I first get to work for years. I get to my desk, turn on my machine and the next thing I know – it's 1pm." – From Ohio, does not wish to be named
Alternatively, you can reverse his thought process by figuring out what point of the day you're most focused on tasks and extract the clues as to why.
"After lunch, I usually tend to shake him off. For some reason, he decides to leave me alone in the afternoon before continuing his reign of terror in the evening." – James, NY
The first step towards freedom is finding the right time of focus for you and determining the reasons why. Maybe you're more productive because you decide to turn off social media in the afternoon? Maybe you don't have your email open and listen to Bach in the morning?
Don't let him dictate your day
Once he's in, the PK has the ability to shift meetings, extend deadlines and even overwrite your schedule. We've devised a system to beat him at his own game, so please follow the steps below:
- Write down all the things you need to do today in order of priority. On a scale from 1 to 5, 1 means it's urgent and 5 means it can be done when you have spare time.
- When the PK isn't attacking you, (morning, before lunch, afternoon) make sure you work on your tasks with a high priority level.
- If you manage to get your highest priority tasks done, you've already won.
Reclaim more of your day
Sometimes the window in which he doesn't pop by isn't enough time to get things done, so you need more time. It's now common knowledge that the productivity killer assumes the shape of:
- Open email monitoring
- Instant messaging
- Social media
- Mobile phones
There are other forms yet to be listed, but some will be specific to you. The key is to eliminate as many of these forms as possible during your day to fend him off. As long as these channels are open, you'll never be free, so do yourself a favor and shut them down when you need to get things done.
We know just how dangerous he can be, we wish you the very best of luck in your fight and we encourage you to spread this message to your friends and family.
Good Luck!

Hi everyone,
I've applied through the ballot for London so am awaiting their response, but I know chances are slim of getting in, so has anyone any ideas about where I can do a marathon in March/April time - I have 2 weeks off at the end of March, but live in the Channel Islands so it need to be near Gatwick (or by train from there obviously) or along the south coast? Don't really want to spend ages travelling if possible. Looked at Bath Beat which is 26.5 so it counts as an ultra!!! Sounds fun........
Any thoughts much appreciated!
Brighton is a great alternative if you can't get in London - although that's becoming hard to get into in itself now! I haven't done it myself but it's becoming big.
Another alternative is the other side of the channel - the Paris Marathon, it's normally a week before London but it's recommended by myself!!
many thanks everyone - had thought about Brighton and Paris - I'll have to wait and see what happens for London........

Poor Merlin, I hope he will not be punished for saving a life. Tis all so unfair!
| theAP chapter 4 . 11/12/2013
You know, I'm mildly concerned at how well you write these horrible, tragic fics, Miss Italy. Does someone need a hug? ;)
- well, you know who:)
| chele the original chapter 4 . 11/3/2013

Save Merlin.
Good chapter.
| chele the original chapter 2 . 11/3/2013
Well written.
terribly sad.
| chele the original chapter 1 . 10/31/2013
good chapter,
Hugs for Merlin.
| Lesley chapter 4 . 10/29/2013
What a beautifully written and very moving piece of work. The emotions flowed and brought a tear to my eyes. So, so sad.
Thank you for such a wonderful read.
I know it has been done so many times before, but would you consider putting your talents to an angsty Lamia story. I always felt Merlin was so wrongly treated by the knights in this episode.
Thank you again,
| Glacier22 chapter 4 . 10/29/2013
Wow. That was sad.
| battlemaiden518 chapter 4 . 10/29/2013
Loved this one! :) I had a hard time imagining this as Morgana, though, until the end. Don't know why. Who is the killer supposed to be? I imagined him as Arthur... xD
| Guest chapter 3 . 9/16/2013
just brilliant...thanks.
| dragooonthegreat chapter 3 . 9/16/2013
all of these are so awesome that their awesomeness cannot be measured on the scale of awesomeness so I will just tell you that they are awesome! I love the quotes at the bottom too and I hope you continue this soon cause you have got skills!:P
| battlemaiden518 chapter 3 . 9/16/2013
Is this one going to have a sequel?
| mersan123 chapter 3 . 9/16/2013
Lovely. Thank you,
| MamzelleHermy chapter 3 . 9/15/2013
Loved it ;) It was really clever :)
It is just, of course, a tad too short :D
| Tango Dancer chapter 2 . 9/13/2013
Heartbreaking! I wish you would make this into a multi-chapter story, without Merlin dying at the end, of course, but Arthur unconsciously choosing someone (Mordred or not) over Merlin and Merlin having to suffer the consequences. It would be utterly awesome! Would you consider writing that?
Anyway, great chapter, keep writing!

Remove hydrocarbon impacted material from the garden of a residential property, Glendaruel, Argyll & Bute
The Client: Loss Adjuster
The Challenge: Following the identification of a leak from a heating oil storage tank at the rear of residential property Soilutions assessed the spill impact. Approximately 200-300 litres of kerosene had been lost to ground up-gradient of the building structure impacting soils and drainage.
The Solution: An excavation investigation contract was agreed with the client in order to avoid the cost of returning to site to undertake a comprehensive site investigation prior to remediation works.
Due to restricted access which prohibited the use of mini-plant, impacted soils were hand excavated by Soilutions personnel. Heavily impacted water found in the field drain was pumped in to storage containers. During the excavation works further contamination was identified. Authorisation for further works was gained whilst on-site thus maintaining efficiencies in the project. All impacted materials were disposed of at appropriately licensed facilities. Despite the additional works, the project was delivered on-time and at a mutually acceptable budget.
Duration: 2 Days on-site
