During my 6 years at the Capitol, I've been a strong advocate for GMO labeling and continue to support this cause. Since 2008, I've been introducing legislation to label GMO "whole foods", to label GMO fish, and to set up a farmer notification system so people would know where all the field tests are taking place. I've been disappointed that we haven't been able to get any of these bills passed into law. What I keep coming back to is that this is common sense. We have a right to know what we're eating. The GMO industry should do what the organic industry did on a shoestring budget back in the 1970s-and that is a national campaign promoting organics. I remember 5 years ago suggesting this in an ENE committee meeting to the GMO industry. If they think their product taste better and is better for us, then do a national media campaign and convince us to buy GMOs. I never got a satisfactory answer to this question. So, I'll ask again. Why not, Monsanto? I've been a part of the on-going efforts of Label It Hawai"i to bring this issue to more people's attention. You might be aware that the people of California voted on Proposition 37 on November 6th, which would've required the labeling of GMO foods in that state. Unfortunately, that ballot initiative fell short with 47% of the vote, largely due to the nearly $50 million that was spent by the GMO industry to defeat the measure. The Makakilo-Kapolei-Honokai Hale Neighborhood Board voted to pass a motion in support of labeling of GMO foods at their meeting on October 24th.

Sagging Roof
I've agreed to terms on the purchase of my first home pending inspection. The obvious issue with the home is that the roof ridge is sagging. I am planning on having a professional roofing contractor inspect the roof. Is this always a significant issue? It definitely appeared that there were a few layers of shingles and I live in Northern Ontario Canada, so I imagine snow weight wouldn't help. The other realtor has said that there is no access to the attic from inside the house and there doesn't appear to be any gable vents either so I'm worried it will even be possible to adequately inspect it.
Any thoughts on this from anyone with similar experience?
Unless there's a cathedral style ceiling in the US by code there has to be an access to the attic area.
Unless that seller was willing to let me cut a hole and check it out I'd pass.
Even then to fix it right involves removing the whole roof and rebuilding all the rafters and ridge pole.
There is no lifting it, only stabilizing it without a total rebuild.
Got the seller to agree to putting in an access in the master bedroom closet. Sending in an expert on Wednesday to check things out. Thanks for your help!
Here in canada there did not need to be an attic access if the ceiling to peak height was under a certain height (Sorry the measurement eludes me)
Also some homes that were built modular (2 or more pieces put together) did not have attic access.
My wild guess is looking at the age of the house it was stick framed with just 2x4 rafters and they have sagged and some may be even broken. Can be fixed.
I would have checked if getting a peek through the turbine vent was feasible.
Moved to roofing forum.
That thing looks scary from the pictures. Best to get an inspector (preferably one with some real framing knowledge) look at it.

Bi fold doors are also known as Bi-folding Doors and Folding Sliding Doors. Our Bi-fold doors can also be used in place of where a window would conventionally be. Here a large opening is possible that doesn't extend to floor level. With this solution, a balcony can be used all year around and in any weather condition.
The Bi fold Door Shop supplies folding doors and windows in uPVC, aluminium, a selection of timbers or aluminium with timber cladding.
Suitable for external or internal use in homes or business properties, bi fold doors have the power to completely transform a space. They can be installed in new properties or extensions, or in existing buildings, replacing an existing doorway or window.
Our bi fold doors can be manufactured with up to 16 panels, either in one large door, or split into two sets of doors. Choose from inwards folding doors or outwards folding doors, depending on what is best for you in your situation.
We can supply folding doors that suit your needs, we can even offer corner bi-fold doors that require no centre support post, so you can have a clear entrance. A flush threshold allows for easy access and reduced risk or the bifold doors can be supplied with a sill if preferred.
Bi fold doors can increase the value of a property and add a unique design feature that is also highly practical. Glass folding doors offer increased light levels that can easily be controlled with integrated blinds. The temperature of a building on hot days can be controlled by opening up bifold doors and on cold days, the use of thermal glasses helps to retain precious heat.
The Bifold Door Shop offers a wide range of options to choose from, so the end result is a bespoke bi-folding door that meets your needs.

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
Before the Red Sox and Yankees took the field, the umpires told the pitchers to serve up fat pitches all game.
OK, so that really didn't happen, but it might as well have as the Yankees beat the Sox 15-9. Sox starter Clay Buchholz was shelled, allowing seven earned runs in just 3 2/3 innings. He only allowed one walk, but was all over the fat part of the plate in allowing eight hits while striking out two.
Chien-Ming Wang was just as bad for the Yankees. He actually got through four innings, but couldn't get an out in the fifth as he allowed five runs. In all, he was clobbered eight earned runs on nine hits and three walks. Yikes…
Believe it or not, the Sox had the lead after scoring six runs in the fifth. They led 9-7, but that was short-lived as Julian Tavarez was shelled himself for four runs (three earned) as the Yankees regained the lead 11-9. They would not reliquinsh that lead as Tavarez took the loss (0-1).
Buchholz allowed two homers — a two-run shot to Bobby Abreu and a solo blast to Alex Rodriguez. A-Rod finished 2-4 batting in the cleanup spot.
Manny Ramirez led the charge for the Sox, going 3-4 with one RBI. J.D. Drew, Dustin Pedroia, and Sean Casey eached finished with two RBI, but it was not enough as the bullpen let the team down.
Mike Timlin was destroyed for four runs in the eigth inning. He now has a nice 27.00 ERA so far in 2008. At that rate he should pay the Red Sox to play.
Game Notes:
Tags: Alex Rodriguez, Chien-Ming Wang, Clay Buchholz, Julian Tavarez, New York Yankees
At that rate he should pay the Red Sox to play.
Or the Red Sox can pay a fan $100 bucks to "pitch"

one year in every four years when February has 29 days instead of 28 Word Originlate Middle English: probably derives from the fact that feast days after February in such a year fell two days later than in the previous year, rather than one day later as in other years, and could be said to have "leaped" a day. Culturethe calendarBritain and the US follow the Gregorian calendar, which replaced the Roman Julian calendar in 1752. The year is divided into 12 months, with 30 or 31 days in each month, except February, which has 28 days. An extra day is added to February every fourth year, called a leap year, to keep the calendar in time with the moon. A well-known verse helps people remember how many days there are in each month:nounjump to other results
leap yearnoun
BrE BrE//ˈliːp jɪə(r)//, BrE//ˈliːp jɜː(r)//; NAmE NAmE//ˈliːp jɪr//
"Thirty days hath September,April, June and November.All the rest have thirty-one,Excepting February alone,Which hath twenty-eight days clear,and twenty-nine in each leap year."The calendar year starts on 1 January, New Year's Day. The number of each year (2003, 2004, etc.) represents the number of years that have passed since the birth of Jesus Christ. The year 2000 marked the end of the second millennium (= a period of 1 000 years) since Christ was born. The years before Christ are described as BC (= before Christ), e.g. 55 BC, or BCE (= before the Common Era). The abbreviations AD (Latin Anno Domini, meaning 'in the year of the Lord') or CE (= Common Era) are put before or after the date for the years after Christ's birth, e.g. AD 44 or 44 AD, but they are not used with years after about 200 AD. Some cultural and religious groups use different calendars: the year 2000 in the Gregorian calendar began during the year 5760 in the Jewish calendar, 1420 in the Islamic calendar and 1921 in the Hindu calendar.The academic year used by schools and colleges in Britain runs from September to July, with short holidays at Christmas and in the spring and a long summer vacation. In the US the academic year runs from August or September to May or June. Many business companies have a financial year (= a period of accounting) that runs from April to the following March. The tax year in the US is the same as the calendar year but the tax year in Britain begins on 5 April. The reason is that in medieval times the calendar year began on 25 March, not 1 January. When the Gregorian Calendar was introduced, an adjustment was needed and 11 days were removed from September 1752. To avoid being accused of collecting a full year's taxes in a short year, the government extended the end of the tax year 1752–3 to 4 April.Many festivals are celebrated during the year. Christmas and Easter are the main Christian festivals. Jews remember Passover and Yom Kippur. Ramadan, a month of fasting (= not eating during the day), and Eid ul-Fitr are celebrated by Muslims. Diwali, the Hindu festival of light, takes place in October or November, and the Chinese celebrate their new year in January or February. Special occasions such as Bonfire Night in Britain and Thanksgiving in the US are enjoyed by almost everyone

Innocence and Mayhem in Art
Celebrating masterpieces of the mentally ill
ince 1988 the National Art Exhibitions by the Mentally Ill (NAEMI) has striven to discover and promote the work of mentally disabled artists while seeking to help them gain credibility, self-esteem, and independence. Many artists have gone on to earn national acclaim, including Mario Mesa, Lucia Ballester, and Eric Holmes, all locals whose pieces are regularly sold in New York galleries and entered in museum collections.
"Their work is just amazing; Eric Holmes is part of the collection at the American Visionary Art Museum in Baltimore," remarks NAEMI executive director Juan Martin. "We are often dulled by the TV or other forms of acculturation; our dreams and fantasies become secondhand clichés. Perhaps it takes the kind of disconnect found in autism or schizophrenia to attain this type of naive and fresh look in art," adds Martin. "Its purity is powerful." Experience the work of nearly two dozen artists included in NAEMI's seventeenth annual show opening tonight from 6:00 to 9:00 at Borders Gallery, 1601 SW First St., Miami. The exhibit runs through July 8. Call 305-649-0324, or visit www.naemi.org. --Carlos Suarez de Jesus

Political Corruption
Rather than spending his golden years fishing or perfecting his golf swing, retired professor Edward J. Reninger devotes his time to organizing his Classic/Foreign Film Discussion Group. This afternoon's screening will be Frank Capra's 1939 movie Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, which is especially significant in these days of Senate filibusters. Stay afterward for a discussion that Reninger says gets "quite heated."

For this 2013 album, "I re-worked/re-mixed the material and this is the result, it is a great album, if I may say so myself. Features lots of great players like Mike Keneally and Bill Ray."

Celebrating the life and legacy of General Samuel V. Wilson was the order of the day on August 31 with the dedication of the expanded and renovated home of the Wilson Center for Leadership in the Public Interest.
Students, faculty, staff, and many guests gathered on the front lawn of the Center to recognize the tireless work of Gen. Wilson; Dr. David Marion, the longtime director of the Center; and financial supporters of the Center's mission. The large crowd in attendance that day was a sign of how many people Gen. Wilson and the Center have affected since its inception 15 years ago.
What we now know as the Wilson Center first was the brainchild of Gen. Wilson when he was still "just" a professor. He approached then-President Ralph Rossum about creating what he called a "Center for Excellence in Public Service" to aid students interested in a career in one of the many roles available in that field. Despite Rossum's support for the idea and Wilson's unexpected ascension to the presidency of Hampden-Sydney College, development of the Center was put on hold. Then President Wilson had more immediate concerns begging for his attention. However, the idea did not die.
Gen. Wilson says, "I did endeavor to keep the concept alive by discussing it with others, to include talking about it in faculty meetings and before local civic clubs. The Farmville Herald's talented editor, Ken Woodley '79, covered one of these local presentations and ran a favorable front-page article in one of the Herald's Friday editions. Nonetheless, the idea of a Hampden-Sydney Center for Excellence in Public Service was stalling out—at least for the moment."
What happened next was a bit of an aligning of the stars. President Wilson found among the faculty a professor with a similar vision, a similar passion for the intellectual development of young men, and a similar drive to succeed. As Gen. Wilson recounted at the dedication ceremony: "Then a faculty member with rich and varied ideas of his own stepped in with a proposed public service certificate program. The faculty approved his proposal, and we were off to the races. Things have not been the same since. Again, time will not permit me to list the many achievements in the College's Leadership and Public Service programs arena for which this individual bears direct responsibility. Suffice it to say that the Wilson Center for Leadership in the Public Interest would not exist, and we would not be gathered here today, but for the organizational skill, creative imagination, and intellectual brilliance of this remarkable man." That remarkable man was Dr. David E. Marion.
Together, Gen. Wilson, Dr. Marion, and the entire staff of the Wilson Center have developed a multifaceted program to educate students about public service and to provide opportunities for students within political, public-policy, educational, governmental, and military organizations. As President Christopher Howard remarked at the dedication: "From the beginning the goal of the Wilson Center has been to create leadership and public affairs programs that would be competitive with the best of these programs in the country. It serves as an umbrella for a number of different programs and activities such as the Public Service and Military Leadership and National Security Studies programs, freshman pre-orientation and leadership programs, Society of '91, and Army ROTC. Each year the Wilson Center hosts, sponsors, or co-sponsors 50 to 60 different events that cover a panoply of leadership and policy topics to engage our students, alumni, and greater community."
Since 2007, the Wilson Center has taken residence in the Packer-Fulton House (which was built in 1926 as "Edgeworth"). This expansion includes a spacious lecture room, a seminar room, exhibition spaces, and two offices. These rooms add valuable space to the original building, which offered faculty and staff offices and a casual lounge that is popular with students.
Though this occasion marks the beginning of a new era in the life of the Wilson Center, it also gave the College and its supporters an occasion to celebrate the Center's namesake. In doing so, President Howard said of Gen. Wilson: "Know that Hampden-Sydney College's success stems from your effective leadership. But for your steady hand during a most turbulent time, the College might not have righted herself, survived, and then thrived. You touch lives that in turn touch other lives. I don't believe you will ever or can ever fully appreciate how much you mean to this College, community, the Commonwealth, this great nation, or to the World.
"You are a soldier, statesman, educator, leader, friend, scholar, and fine human being."

SplineFit - Parametrization ?
I got a question concerning the "SplineFit[DATA, Cubic]" function of the
NumericalMath`SplineFit` Package.
My problem is to fit a cubic spline to a set of numerical 2d data. E.g.
using simply x,y-data like:
DATA := Table[{1.*i^2, Random[Real, {-1., 1.}]}, {i, 10}];
splinefit := SplineFit[DATA, Cubic];
splinefit[u=f(x,y)][[1]] =! x ???
I found that SplineFit works much more accurate like e.g. the function
Interpolation. That's why I switched from Interpolation to SplineFit.
The problem is, that using SplineFit (in contrast to Interpolation),
specfific data along the curve only can be identified by the curve
parameter value. But actually I'm interested to explicitly get a curve
value f(x) as function of x! Is this possible with SplineFit ? In case
not, does anybody know how are the parameter values linked to the x, y
values ?
It seems that the parameter, say "u=f(x,y)", is running like
U=[0,1,2,...,Length[DATA]-1] along the data points, somehow a uniform
(integer) curve parametrization. But what happens with the parameter in
between data points ?
Thanks alot,

'Footloose' Premieres in Tennessee
The new 'Footloose' movie, which stars Nashville's own Julianne Hough, premiered in Franklin, Tennessee, just south of Nashville, last night (October 6). Plenty of stars strolled down the red carpet, including the film's leading men, Kenny Wormald and Miles Teller, plus several country music celebrities, including Julianne, Blake Shelton, Lauren Alaina, Hunter Hayes, Whitney Duncan, Jana Kramer and Big & Rich, who give the movie two thumbs up.
"I saw the whole thing, and it is absolutely fantastic," Big Kenny told The Boot on the red carpet. "I'm really excited to see it again. They definitely stepped it up and if nothing else, they brought it to our times.The music's got the edge of our times in it."
Filmgoers may be a bit surprised that 'Dancing With the Stars' champ Julianne does very little fancy footwork in the flick. But fans of the 1984 original, starring Kevin Bacon, will be pleasantly surprised at the remake's respect for its predecessor. Julianne, who stars as preacher's daughter Ariel, tells The Boot that a last-minute change in film director and script kept the remake from straying too far from the cult classic.
"It was going to be this singing, dancing, big shebang movie," she explains. "Now it's more like the original and really, really holding all the key points from the movie. It's great for me, because I feel like it's a real performance, acting piece for me. I don't sing or dance in it, so it's going to be really fun and challenging."
'Footloose' will hit theaters nationwide October 14. Click below to watch our exclusive sneak peek of the movie.
'Footloose' Track Listing:
1. 'Footloose,' Blake Shelton
2. 'Where the River Goes,' Zac Brown Band

Rated 5 out of 5 by RedSetterLady from Flavorful coffee with no bitterness All I can say is YUM! The brew time is long enough to get great flavor and short enough to leave the bitter compounds in the grounds. It's east to use and clean, I just toss out the grounds, flip the filter inside out and and rinse in boiling water. Plus it looks great with it's wood and leather handle. I think it makes coffee as delicious as the Chemex maker does.Date published: 2014-01-14Rated 5 out of 5 by QT777 from Worth the extra effort for a truly great cup. An elegant, streamlined design which produces a wonderfully clean, full-bodied brew. The reusable flannel cloth filter does a good job of allowing more oils to pass through while keeping out fine grind particles, but has to be cleaned immediately after use and should always be stored wet (I keep mine in a small container of water in the fridge). I find that flipping the filter inside out (while it's still on its metal ring) and lightly scrapping the dirty side of the filter with a spoon as hot water is running through it is the best way to get rid of tiny coffee particles that could build up, slowing down extraction time and making a bitter brew. The Woodneck does require a little practice (and a thin spout water kettle) but it is much more forgiving than the Hario V60 or Chemex. Overall a great coffee brewer for folks with a little extra time in the morning for manual brewing.Date published: 2013-04-08Rated 5 out of 5 by Terka from Hario Coffe Drip Pot Loved the taste of the brewed coffee and the looks of the quaint pot. Also, it does not take up all the space on the countertop that a coffee machine does.Date published: 2012-10-06Rated 5 out of 5 by HookyDoo from A coffee craftsman's tool The Woodneck Pot is for coffee lovers and coffee geeks who don't mind spending a little time and effort to get consistently great coffee. The woodneck makes a full-bodied, complex cup of coffee like a French press, but without a muddy mouth feel. Brewing is straight forward and doesn't require timing, tamping or precsion measurement. This little pot makes great coffee - probably the best drip coffee you will have anywhere (better than Technivorm). You'll want the Hario Kettle and extra flannel filters. If you don't have access to good, freshly ground coffee, you should consider the reasonably priced Hario manual grinder.Date published: 2012-03-15Rated 5 out of 5 by VijayV from Great cup of coffee Just bought a coffee maker and its most simple, elegant, and capable of turning out an incredibly fine cup of coffee in just a couple of minutes. My wife and I had the smoothest and most flavorful cup of coffee that a machine couldn't replicate.Date published: 2012-01-04

Q&A: Malcolm Klassen
By Peter Lim
Fighting for the first time outside his native South Africa, Malcolm Klassen defends his IBF super featherweight belt against Robert "The Ghost" Guerrero, (24-1-1, 17 KOs) this Saturday at the Toyota Center in Houston. The fight, staged by Golden Boy Promtions, will be aired on HBO. Klassen, (24-4-2, 15 KOs), dethroned Gairy St. Clair via split decision for the title in 2006 but lost it against Mzonke Fana, also by split decision, in his first defense. Klassen regained the belt by stopping fellow-South African Cassius Baloyi in April via seventh round TKO.

What should fans outside of South Africa know about Malcolm Klassen?
First of all, I don't need to trash talk or anything but (Guerrero) is not in my class, if you know what I'm saying. For me to come to Houston from South Africa and leave my title here is not going to happen. That will never happen.
Can you describe your fighting style to the fans who have never seen you fight.
I am the whole package. I am Mayweather, I am Marco Antonio Barrera. I can move and I can fight. That's what you can expect – the whole package. I've got speed and I've got power. They say speed is power and I've got everything together.
How have you fared against southpaws in the past?
I fought a few southpaws early in my career and I have been sparring with some of the best southpaws in South Africa which has been very, very good for me. So I'm not going to have a problem with that. (Klassen's trainer Nick Durandt points out that Klassen has never lost to a southpaw before.)
Do you have more to lose in this fight than he does?
Definitely, because I'm not fighting just for me. I'm fighting for the whole of South Africa, I'm fighting for my family and for the guys at the gym who've helped me out. So I've got a lot to lose.
Nick Durandt: Guerrero's going to be knocked out. Guerrero's not going to see six rounds.

Humphrey Civil Rights Award, the Ernie Pyle Award for Lifetime Achievement, and others. Goodman worked at Newsweek, the Detroit Free Press and, in 1967, she began writing for The Boston Globe. A 1963 cum laude graduate of Radcliffe College, Goodman returned to Harvard in 1973-74 as a Nieman Fellow, where she studied the dynamics of social change. In 2007, she was a Shorenstein Fellow at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government.
This lecture, which is free and open to the public, is part of the Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina Presidential Lecture Series at Meredith College. Each year, the series is designed around Meredith's campus theme. For 2009-10, the campus theme is "Catalysts for Change."

The Five Day Week Straw People
While the album (simply titled The Five Day Week Straw People) has attracted some fanatical praise among collectors, it's average-period British psychedelia. It leans a little more toward heavy rock than toward mod, although there are some strong pop elements in the vocal harmonies and the British storytelling lyricism. At times, it's reminiscent of the most pop-oriented material that Cream recorded. The same could be said of some of the stuff done by Andromeda, the group that Du Cann, Hawksworth, and Collins decided to found after cutting The Five Day Week Straw People, although Andromeda was definitely in a heavier, hard rock vein. A two-fer featuring The Five Day Week Straw People and The Attack was reissued on CD by Angel Air in 2000, with nine unreleased songs by the Attack added as bonus tracks. ~ Richie Unterberger

Are you tightening your receivables?
November 12, 2008
Survey Results for 11/12/2008:
I expected that perhaps window and door companies would revisit their financial policies given the current economic environment. As I said last week, it's going to be important for companies to maintain control over their cash, and massaging receivable terms is one way to try to do that. Still, it's a fine line to walk. Pulling in your terms will put cash in your account quicker, but will you sacrifice sales with customers that expect or need more time?
I've been speaking with a lot of industry players in the last few weeks as I prepare for our annual forecast issue. Companies are streamlining and looking for ways to stay efficient in many areas, including the finanical realm that prompted this poll question. One quote in particular comes from the owner of a dealer and manufacturer located in upstate New York:
"The companies that will survive are the leanest, with probably the best systems. One has to realize that all companies are good at certain areas. If we can't get better at the weaker areas, those people won't survive. That includes my own company. We have the same dilemma."
We'll have forecast information and feedback from industry representatives in the January issue of Window & Door. Stay tuned... and send me an email if you'd like to share your thoughts about 2009.

Brian Lavoie uses his knack for numbers to benefit others
HUDSON - Brian Lavoie uses his knack for numbers to benefit his clients and the community at large.
Lavoie is a certified financial planner serving clients from a spectrum of ages and wealth but sharing a common motivation to improve their financial shape. He understands the leap of faith involved in trusting him with personal money management, Lavoie said.
"My main focus is just being the best at whatever I do and always doing the best by my clients," Lavoie said.
Lavoie lends his financial expertise to a number of charitable organizations. He concentrates on fundraising in his role as chairman of the board of directors for the Southern New Hampshire branch of Friends of the Norris Cotton Cancer Center. The organization's low overhead allows 100 percent of the proceeds to go to research and treatment.
"It's a very rewarding cause," Lavoie said.
Lavoie also serves on the board of trustees for Symphony NH of Nashua.
While working with the orchestra, Lavoie noticed that the Edmund M. Keefe Memorial Auditorium, now the Edmund Keefe Center for the Arts, had taken on a rundown look and feel. He brought the idea of a renovation to the Greater Nashua Arts Initiative, and the group immediately embraced the cause.
"The project went in an incredible direction," Lavoie said.
The Indigo Girls performed as part of the fundraising efforts, and the concert became an important event for the city.
"We really highlighted the fact that this could work," Lavoie said. "It is the largest facility of its type in the state and that means something."
The auditorium's facelift included painting top to bottom, new acoustic panels, LED lighting, a new sound system, and improvements to make it more energy efficient.
As an alumni volunteer, Lavoie annually interviews two to six high school seniors applying to Dartmouth College.
"My role is not to sit in judgment. It's more informational," Lavoie said.
In the end he wants to be sure the decision is a good fit for both.
To help keep new college graduates in New Hampshire, Lavoie volunteers with IUGO, an offshoot of the Chamber of Commerce offering social and personal development events to make the local community more desirable to young professionals.
Lavoie likes the idea of supporting local organizations that make the community a better place, he said. He enjoys the variety of his volunteer work and finds working with other volunteers personally rewarding.
"I genuinely have enjoyed my work with these organizations," Lavoie said.

LAGOS – As a career diplomat he would be expected to be able to converse in several foreign languages, but it's doubtful that Nigerian pidgin English would be one of them.
Yet the U.S. ambassador to Nigeria took to the airwaves to speak in the vernacular about the most pressing issues between the two nations, from gay rights and presidential elections to visa rules.
"Me I no talk say sanction go dey for Nigeria," James F. Entwistle told presenter Oga Madam on a recent visit to Wazobia FM, the Lagos radio station that broadcasts entirely in the English-based patois.
"Make I repeat myself, the U.S. government no say sanction go dey for Nigeria because of same-sex palava o."
In other words, the U.S. was not planning sanctions against Nigeria for passing a recent law banning same-sex marriages and civil partnerships despite the furor it has caused abroad.
Nor, he said, did Washington have a preferred candidate for next year's elections, at which incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan's ruling party is expected to be pushed hard by the main opposition.
"First make I tell you say U.S. no get any candidate for mind," he said, according to the weekly English-language newsmagazine Tell. "The only thing wey go sweet us be say make the election dey transparent, credible and concluded."
The U.S. Consulate in Lagos confirmed in an email that the quotes attributed to the ambassador were correct.
"He knows a few words and phrases and received assistance from the staff to do the interview," a spokeswoman added.

Another fresh new year is here...
Another year to live!
To banish worry, doubt, and fear,
To love and laugh and give!
So begins William Arthur Ward's "A New Year" -- spritely guy, right? He's got a pretty good attitude.
Sitting here reflecting back on 2010, my thoughts are distressingly catastrophe-ridden: the earthquake in Haiti, the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, WikiLeaks documents being released, the economic crisis -- the bad has left a mark on my memory more readily accessible than the good.
Well, so much for wine and roses.
But then I think a little harder. I think of the World Cup in South Africa, I think of the incredible Chilean miner rescue story, I think of the total lunar eclipse that so much of the world witnessed. I think of riding out the February "Snowpocalypse" in D.C., drinking hot toddies with friends and learning how long cheese in the refrigerator can really last. I think of watching John Isner and Nicolas Mahut battling out over 11 hours of tennis at Wimbledon. Now we're talking.
The funny thing is, people get so worked up over resolving to do better, to eat better, to give more, to cross things off of our lists, that we forget to live. You think Isner and Mahut had "play longest tennis match in history" on their list of New Year's resolutions? Probably not. But how much are you willing to bet that that match went down as one of the highlights of their year -- or life?
My point is this: Natalie Portman is pregnant and engaged, and men all over the world are weeping -- but there's hope! We've embarked on another calendar year, another fresh slate filled with promise and zest and opportunity.
If these pop culture references are moot, even better. With a little bit of luck, a little bit of hard work and a little bit of destiny (if you believe in it), we find ourselves in a position where every day is a new day. That means new chances at love, new chances at helping another person, another animal, another cause. It means trying something new. It means throwing away the old. It is another chance to laugh, to cry, to cheer, to smile. It is a chance to conquer challenges. Have you ever known something as magnificent?
I have not. This year, I understand that natural disasters will happen. Violent protests will occur alongside poverty and corruption and devastating loss. The world will continue to turn in disharmony, and leaders will continue to resolve to do better. But if you can do one thing, one seemingly insignificant, small detail, resolve to live. To be kind. To not dwell on dreams and duties, but act on them. Create a little magic.
But most importantly, enjoy it. Here's to 2011.

-=READ THIS=- I made this in 2006 when I was about 15-16yo and in this video the WHOLE idea was to use MS PAINT (like in description) just because it´s not created to tune/modify/style, call it whatever you want, vehicles. So no stupid comments please!

Hazardous materials workers and Bear River Health Department officials on Monday cleared the resumption of irrigation water use from a Cache County canal contaminated by oil over the weekend.
Bear River Health Department spokeswoman Jill Parker said tests had confirmed the water in the Lower Hyde Park irrigation canal, which serves the North Logan and Hyde Park area, was oil-free. As of noon Monday, farmers and residents along the canal were allowed to resume use of the canal.
Cleanup in a field where the canal's flow was temporarily diverted Saturday night will continue for the next day or two, but officials did not believe any lasting environmental damage had been done.
Heavy rainfall Saturday was blamed for the incident in which an unknown amount of oil from a road construction project on 1800 North in North Logan washed into the canal.
While health officials believed any crisis had passed by Monday, the department set up a hotline telephone number (435-792-6576) for citizens to report any concerns.
