(The main office boss retired and Lenore took it upon herself to put together a small photo album containing photos she took with a disposable camera of all of the staff to give as a gift. Having recently completed this album, Lenore wanted to share her hard work with me. She also added caption, think bubbles, to all of the photos.)
(flipping through photos) ...and this one is Anthony, see, he's saying,
"I don't want to do my work. I want to play." Isn't that funny?
Me: Yes.
Lenore: And this one, see, Martin says, "Bet you can't guess what's in my bag," and see, he's carrying a bag.
Me: Yes, I see. Where's mine?
Lenore: (flipping, flipping) Here. Remember I took it of you in the kitchen
and here you're saying, "Now that Deborah is gone I'm going to take her
coffee pot."
Me: Oh, I don't drink coffee but okay.
Lenore: It's just for fun. Not real. You're not really going to take the
coffee pot. (flipping, flipping) And this one, see I had Bat Lady hold
out all those dollar bills and smile and here it says, "I made this
money working nights. You can't have it!"
Me: Oh. That sounds like she's a prostitute or something.
Lenore: Maybe she is...(flipping, flipping)...and here's George, "These donuts are the best!" and then Stacy is here saying...

This mat is made of high quality material. It collects the litter great! I use 2 outside of my litter pan to catch all of the litter!

We currently own three of this particular litter mat. It's a nice looking mat that doesn't clash with any of our decor. It is a little on the small side and on occasion or cats will track litter off the mat. However, I prefer to have to run the vacuum around the boxes once a week than have a large unattractive mat taking up space. Great product!

I got this because I love walking around the house barefoot and can't stand when litter gets on my feet. I've got an enclosed litter box (easier to clean) and this fits directly in front of the opening. My cat doesn't mind it one bit, he may even prefer it...if only I could read his mind I could tell you one way or the other. The only downside is you have to re-position it daily which isn't a big deal because it's best to shake the litter that ends up on the mat back into the box every day when doing litter box maintenance.

I bought this for my boyfriend's cat's litter box & she makes so much less of a mess with her litter now! Before, it was all over the floor in front of the box, but now it's contained on this mat. And it seems to be that she likes the feel of the mat under her paws, because she'll sometimes just stand in front of her box, wiping her paws across it.

I have used these mats for many years and they have been very effective with my two cats. Thank you!

....but this has turned into a floor and back saver! I have always kept something under the littler box because our cat it a thrower. Litter everywhere! And we have a covered litter box! I have used throw/scatter rugs and a lipped plastic mat and the litter still ended up all getting tracked around the house by the cat. Constantly I was sweeping. But this actually does catch the litter from his little paws as he exits the box and anything that happens to make it outside the box while he is inside! The only maintenance is to pick it up periodically and shake it into the garbage pail.

WT Football Falls in Season Opener 35-6
PUEBLO, Colo. – The No. 11 West Texas A&M football team dropped its 2014 season-opener 35-6 at No. 4 Colorado State-Pueblo Thursday evening. WT was led defensively by 16 total tackles from redshirt freshman Carter James.
The Buffs struggled offensively as they totaled 302 yards of offense, including 94 rushing yards and 208 passing yards. WT junior quarterback Preston Rabb went 25 of 49 passing in his debut behind center. Northwestern senior transfer Venric Mark tallied 58 yards on the ground, while senior Anthony Johnson had nine catches for 61 yards and junior Jarrian Rhone had five catches for 72 yards. Three lost fumbles also proved costly.
CSUP, who returned a senior-laden team from last year, tallied 163 yards on the ground to go along with 277 yards passing for 440 total yards. Senior quarterback Chris Bonner went 16 of 31 for 277 yards with four touchdowns and one interception, while Cameron McDondle ran the ball for 83 yards and J.B. Matthews had 53 yards on the ground with a score. Senior Paul Browning had four catches for 102 yards and a touchdown.
Minus a few missed tackles and a couple of big pass plays, defensively the Buffs were all over the field as James had 10 solo stops with his 16 total tackles, including two tackles for loss. Sophomore Patric Youngman tallied 10 total tackles with six solo stops. WT had 10 tackles for loss in the game for 22 yards. Senior Torian Oakley had five tackles with an interception.
Breaking in a new punter and field goal kicker, the Buffs looked much improved in both areas as junior Elliot Moore had 11 punts for a 40.6 average with three inside the 20 and one touchback. Sophomore kicker Connor Hollabaugh converted two field goals for the Buffs' six points.
The Buffs went three-and-out on their opening drive of the season setting the Thunderwolves up on their own 20. A first down pass from Bonner got things started, but the Buff run "D" stymied CSUP on the next two snaps for a pair of tackles for loss from James and junior Jacob Laguna and Oakley combined for the other setting up a third and long. Bonner then completed a long strike for a touchdown to Paul Browning for 66 yards and a 7-0 lead with 13:44 left in the first quarter.
The teams exchanged punts on the next two possessions, but the Buffs' best drive of the half came following a CSUP punt beginning at the 30. A roughing the passer penalty gave WT its first, first down of the game on a third and five. Mark bounced outside and made some shifty moves for 32 yards to the CSUP 11. Mark rushed to the three, but a delay of game penalty on fourth and two pushed the Buffs back. Hollabaugh converted the 25-yard field goal for a 7-3 score with 7:21 left in the first quarter.
Late in the quarter, CSUP took over at its 41 and Bonner tossed his second touchdown pass of the game to Daniel Wise for 47-yards and a 14-3 score.
CSUP extended the lead to 21-3 on a drive early in the second quarter as Cameron McDondle scampered 28 yards for a first down at the WT 41. Wise caught another long pass from Bonner for 41 yards to the WT one yard line. Once again the Buff "D" stepped up and forced a fourth down. ON fourth and goal, McDondle caught Bonner's third touchdown of the half out of the backfield for a 21-3 lead.
With 1:26 left in the half, Rabb and the Buffalo offense had its best drive through the air to that point as Rabb completed three nice passes with two to junior Jarrian Rhone and one to senior Anthony Johnson. Rabb then completed a 12-yard pass to redshirt freshman Jordan Jones for 12 yards to the CSUP 34. Rabb was sacked and fumbled on the CSUP 35 ending the threat with 26 second left in the half.
For the half, WT was led by 43 yards on the ground on six carries from Mark. Rabb was 13 of 26 for 111 yards. Junior punter Elliot Moore had seven punts in the half for a 41.7 average. Rhone had four catches for 52 yards. WT had 177 total yards in the half.
Bonner was 10 of 17 for 214 yards and three touchdowns for the Thunderwolves, while McDondle had 72 yards on 17 carries. Browning had three catches for 93 yards and a score.
After a three-and-out to begin the second half for the Thunderwolves, the Buffs got the ball back at their own nine. A fumble by Rabb set CSUP up as Bonner tossed his fourth touchdown of the night for a 28-3 lead.
On the ensuing WT possession, the Buffs started driving with a pair of runs to begin the drive from senior Boise State transfer Derrick Thomas. On a fourth and three, junior Geremy Alridge-Mitchell scampered for five yards and a first down at the CSUP 33.
Alridge-Mitchell rushed the ball once again and appeared down with a whistle as the ball came out after he was down. The referees convened and decided that it was a fumble with a CSUP recovery ending a good drive.
Oakley came up with the pick later in the quarter and the defense came up big once again as senior Syracuse transfer Markus Pierce-Brewster blocked a Greg O'Donnell kick keeping the score at 28-3.
The Buffs turned the blocked kick into points at the other end early in the fourth with the second field goal from Hollabaugh for a 28-6 score.
Late in the game, Matthews scored from 10 yards out for the final margin of 35-6.
It was the first game since a 41-3 loss against Pittsburg State in the NCAA playoffs on Nov. 19, 2005, that WT failed to score a touchdown in a game.
WT returns home for the 2014 home-opener Sat., Sept. 13 at 7 p.m. at Kimbrough Memorial Stadium against Lone Star Conference rival Tarleton State.

Lookout Tether Strap
This tether strap arrived in two days. Just what I needed. Wonderful company to do business with.
Great strap to use on the booster seats, this is a replacement for me since I lost the other one I got originally with the seat. It's very durable and attaches easily to any harness (I would recommend getting a nice soft harness for car trips.)
If I could give this strap no stars, I would. It broke while I was adjusting it, with very little pressure exerted upon it. Thank goodness my dog was not attached when it broke. We buy these products to keep our pets safe, but the truth is that we are buying a myth. Please go to the website for Center for Pet Safety and watch the crash test video for the Snoozer seats and learn about safer options for your beloved dog.
I had recently bought a new car and unfortunately left the tether straps behind. I found GW Little website and the price was right. Amazon wanted double the price. And they were quick to ship immediately. Will use them again for other items and will tell my friends too.
Love it. We have a lookout tether strap in each of our vehicles, this way our beautiful pet is safe in his car seat.
Perfect addition to the doggie car seat. Latches perfectly from the harness to the seat belt!
I previously purchased seat belt attachments to connect to my pups harnesses. However, they would frequently disconnect themselves from the seat belt attachment by stepping on the red button of the seat belt. I bought this item to attach to the tether connection under the rear seat back. The other end connects to their harness. Now they are safer in the back seat of the car. This item does the job.
Perfect extension for smaller pups to look out and have a little more room for lying down. A little bit goes a long way when trying to keep your pup happy. Well made and strong, easy ordering and the shipping was good. Easy use with halters and your seat belt, really the perfect product for my needs.
Very satisfied
Adjusts very well to console carrier.
This strap goes great with our 2 lookout seats, one for our 2 Yorkies and 1 for our min pin. We use this strap and attach it to their harnesses. Two of our dogs love to poke their heads out of the window and this strap holds them in safely (only in our gated community at 25 mph max).
Fast delivery!!
Perfect! Thank you!
Used for transporting two rescues dogs. I felt more relaxed and I think the dogs did too. Easy to attach to the seat belts and harness. Secure and still gave them room to shift position, lay down or sit.
Seems to work fine. However, I like the other one I have that buckles right into the car seat belt better.
Love this strap works great
These tether straps are great for taking the dogs out in the car. We like to put our two small dogs in the same elevated car bed. They were not easy to find and I'm glad you carry them!
Exactly what I was looking for. Arrived in a very timely fashion. Good company to work with.
Bella loves her console car seat and so do I. It arrived in perfect condition, I installed it,put Bella in it and we went for a ride. She can see well and be safe and close to me at the same time! Thank you so much.
I lost my last strap. So I am so thankful GW Little had replacements. I use mine once we get out of the car to hook her into a shopping cart. We had to size up on carseats so this is headed to my husbands suv with the smaller lookout carseat.
Exactly what I ordered. Works perfectly
Perfect with the Padded Car Harness!
Needed security and ease for traveling with our 4 Papillons....these straps make travel and rest stops fast, safe and secure.
Received very timely manner and works well to attach to harness in their car seat, which I ordered from GW Little several years ago. Thank you.
The strap is exactly what I needed and was delivered in a few days. Thank you.
I had one to use in the lookout car seat. Lost it. You have to have one of these to keep your fur baby safe and secure. Worksgreat.
This clip opens in both directions and is easy to attach to my dog's harness. I clip her in and she lays down to take a snooze! Couldn't be easier.
The straps are perfect to use with or without the Lookout Car seats for small dogs!
While this strap is great for my min pin to sit in her Lookout Car Seat in the back seat, she is an aggressive chewer and has already eaten through 2 of these. I wish they made a chew proof version of this, then I'd give it 5 stars!
This is my second strap, the first one I ordered stays in my boyfriend's vehicle and this one stays in mine. Very convenient and easy to use not to mention the safety issue. My only suggestion to make it better would be if the clasp swiveled?
We travel with our dogs and this strap works well to keep them safe and secure in our back seat.

Airscape Home Coffee Container
Solid construction and simple design. Pushes the air out and keeps it out. Using a system like this is really the best way to store coffee. Keeping it in your freezer does preserve the coffee over long periods of time (at least more than leaving it out). However, the expansion of moisture in the bean caused by freezing will crack cell walls and cause a degradation in flavor. The best way to keep your coffee fresh is keeping it in an airtight container in a cool place, out of the sunlight. And of course, only buy as much as you will be able to drink within a week.

Tim5 Stars Out Of 5Beautiful Bible. We love everything about it.May 16, 2017TimQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5This review was written for HCSB Study Bible, Black Genuine Leather, Thumb-Indexed .What a great bible! It has exceeded our expectations in every way. We love the HCSB translation. It's easy to read while remIning true to the word of God. It is well designed and constructed. We love the book intros, study notes, translation of Greek & Hebrew words. It's maps and illustrations are beautifully done. And is an exteremely good value. Holman hit a homerun with this one!

DG5 Stars Out Of 5my new study bibleSeptember 24, 2016DGQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5This review was written for HCSB Study Bible, Black Genuine Leather, Thumb-Indexed .this by far one of the best study bible i have ever purchase. i am loving studying with this new bible.
Marty5 Stars Out Of 5Excellent Translation, Tremendous Study BibleJuly 14, 2016MartyQuality: 4Value: 4Meets Expectations: 5The HCSB translation is an easy to understand English version, yet it contains many familiar verses. This comes from the in depth study by the scholar team to find a word for word and literal translation. Many bracketed scriptures with footnotes letting you know why they were omitted from other translations, or why they are included in this one. I have read where earlier versions only had a topical concordance, but, this has been corrected and it now contains a full concordance. It is a large bible, one I do not recommend carrying with you, only for study. I purchased the Mahogany simulated leather cover, and it holds up really well. It is a sewn binding, and lays flat at any point I go to. The use of Messiah and Yahweh along with God and Lord adds an extra power not normally understood. This is a wonderful study bible with in depth notes, commentary, HCSB bullet notes and many more features. I do not believe anyone would be disappointed with this bible.
farout5 Stars Out Of 5The very best Bible!April 29, 2016faroutQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 4This review was written for HCSB Study Bible--imitation leather, mahogany .The Holman Christian Standard study Bible is wonderful! The way it uses Yahweh in the Old Testament and Messiah in the correct way in the New Testament is not only unusual, it is excellent. For those who want to understand the Bible and what it says this is the Bible you need! No matter if you know nothing about the Bible or you are a Sunday School Teacher or Pastor this is the perfect Bible. Accurate and dependable to the original meaning of the Biblical writers. Most translations of the Bible can follow along nicely. The notes show original unique insight and are meaningful for us today to better understand Bible verses and their meanings. Notes are more complete and in depth, compared to other Study Bibles.
The pages of this Bible feels nice yet strong and prevent marking bleeding. The paper quality very good has a unique feel. I use a red lead and black ink, it does not bleed through. There are pages for notes, and colorful maps. The Simulated Leather covers hold up well. The Bibles are manufactured in the United states and China, my wife has one made in China and I have one made un the USA, there is no difference in the Bibles, both are identical in excellence of workmanship and quality.
I am exceptionally pleased with the translation and the Bible notes. I would recommend the Holman Christian Standard Bible for anyone from possible the fourth grade with parents help to adults no matter what the age. What a fantastic wonderful blessing to have the Holman Christian Bible. I love it!
Holman has made exceptional Bible, superior to most other Bibles. The Holman Christian Standard Bible is praiseworthy. However the Concordance lacks some basic words one expects, thus making it incomplete inadequate. I find it frustrating that Holman put such a very limited Concordance, with uniquely wonderful Bible Translation. Holman desperately needs a more complete concordance, to go with the best Bible I have known.

Airline Cutlery Fits Together To Create A Model Airplane [Pics]
The airline redesigns their flatware to reduce their carbon footprint.
Notable French designer Eugeni Quitllet created an eco-friendly cutlery set for Air France. The new collection took inspiration from the "aerodynamics" of the aircrafts in which they will be used, and can be assembled to artistically resemble a plane.
It contains a knife, spoon, fork and a set of wings. The added set of wings increases the overall size and grip of the utensils, giving the user a more comfortable handling. Ergonomically designed, the cutlery is an assembly kit suitable for adults and children.
Quitllet's design will reduce the company's raw material usage by 30%, which is equivalent to 40 tons a year. This new addition to meal trays will cut unnecessary costs for the airline, especially when Air France serves 14 million meals annually.
The new design will be taking flight in October, 2013.

Central Montcalm mat coach predicting big things next season
STANTON — There's some optimism coming from Central Montcalm after this past wrestling season.
That optimism is coming from coach Dan VanderVlucht after his team finished with a 24-9 record in the regular season and won a Division 3 district title.
"I am very impressed with the season," VanderVlucht said. "All the kids came together and wanted to wrestle."
That coming together was what made the season so successful, according to VanderVlucht.
"We had seniors that worked together," he said. "Then we had juniors who were on the team for three years. We had a good group of freshmen that came in and did as well with the seniors and juniors. Everyone stepped in. One kid stepped in one week and one would step up another week."
And VanderVlucht knew right away that he had a good team. The Green Hornets opened up with a pair of wins over Farwell and Ithaca in the first competition of the season.
"We went down to the (Grandville) Calvin Christian tournament and the kids went together," he said. "We beat some bigger schools and started clicking."
The wrestler who went the farthest in the individual tournament was Jesse Judge. But there were others who were unsung heroes on the team.
"The No. 1 kid was Tyler Rydahl at 130" pounds, VanderVlucht said. "He had goals that he had set and he got all his goals. He did everything I asked him to do. He went right out there and went six minutes with a state champ, and not once but four times. When you only give up four points that's major to a team. Whatever you asked, he would do it."
VanderVlucht also singled out Trenton Braman.
"He (Braman) stepped up as a freshman and was 35-17," he said. "He's going to be a really good wrestler as he sticks with it. When you have a freshman that steps in with 35 wins that's outstanding."
VanderVlucht thinks next year's team could contend for another district title.
"I think we should be right back in the mix for a district title and see where we sit for regionals," he said. "When you lose Jesse Judge that's a big thing. I do believe we can do another district title. The kids are doing real well. It's up in the air."

text: Daniel Radcliffe looks murderous in first Horns poster The Harry Potter star is suspected of murder in a new offbeat thriller, also starring Juno Temple, Max Minghella and Heather Graham Comments Written By Ellie Walker-Arnott 5:14 PM, 14 July 2014 The Boy Who Lived is now the boy who might have killed (not quite so catchy, we know). It's hardly a mistake that Daniel Radcliffe is a million miles away from Harry Potter in his new movie. Since the final film in the franchise, the 24-year-old actor has purposefully chosen diverse roles that prove he can play more than a wand-wielding teenage wizard. And this latest role is no exception. Though, having said that, we did notice a few similarities between this front cover and a few from Harry Potter... Horns sees Radcliffe play Ig Perrish, a man accused of the violent rape and murder of his girlfriend Merrin Wililams (Juno Temple). After a night of heavy drinking, Ig wakes up to find horns growing out of his head - horns which make people confess their sins - and so embarks on a mission to find Merrin's true murderer. Directed by Alexandra Aja, Horns is based on Joe Hill's dark fantasy novel and also stars Max Minghella, Heather Graham and David Morse. Horns will be in UK cinemas 31 October. Like this? Share it.

Sayal electronics has multiple locations in the Toronto area. They already have about 1/5 of each location dedicated to tables of hobby stuff :)
Also their website sucks…
Are the silicon buttons for these unavailable? I can't find them anywhere on the site and they don't show up at the bottom for me…

Does anyone have any experence with the Kel Tec P-11? I'm trying to get a guage if this would be a good pick over teh Kahr PM9. Most of the Specs are close to the same, I'm just looking at the price for something that is really easily concealed when I'm wearing shorts and either a light tee or no shirt at all.

The P-11 is a good gun for the money... but the trigger really sucks on it. If the money is not a problem go with the Kahr. I like the PF-9 better than the P-11. It has a better trigger and conceals better, but the re-coil is worse than the p-11.

Ive had one for about a year. It feeds reliably, is easy to clean and maintain, and is very easy to conceal. The trigger does suck, but its not as bad as some make it out to be. Don't expect to enjoy shooting it, but it will go bang every time.
I have a P11 and and have no complaints. Accurate and reliable.
I have a P11 as my daily carry gun. I like it.
It's inexpensive, concealable, and American-made. The trigger is heavy and the pull is long, but that's a good thing in something that I might be tempted to slip in my jacket pocket.
My only complaint is that magazines are not as cheap as they could be.
I got a P11 12 +1 9mm is pretty good and it doesn't conceal too bad,and is a good BUG
"Outside of the killings, Washington has one of the lowest crime rates in the country,"
--Mayor Marion Barry, Washington , DC .
I bought the p11 and went directly to the range for about 50 rounds of hollow point and ball. No problems . It got uncomfortable to shoot. The trigger pull was long and hard, my trigger finger got sore, etc.
Went home and a couple days later I did some of the recommended soft buffing of the sharp corners and mold marks , straighten the trigger a little, and dry fired with snap caps a bunch of times. I returned to the range and practiced drawing and firing on a 7yd target for another fifty rounds (2 shots /draw, about 25 reps))and I was very pleased at the results. The trigger pull gets better, or you get used to it, and the results were in less than a soccer ball area with the draw, point and shoot drill . This was from appendix carry. The gun felt good in my hand, never had a failure. I like it and I carry it.
For $289, this is an amazing firearm.
When you learn when the trigger breaks, you become more accurate with it. Just don't expect it to be a range gun.
I am amazed that they are able to get 11, 9mm rounds in this ridiculously small handgun!!
I would rather die with good men than hide with cowards

My wife has a p11. Very nice for it's purpose. Not fun to shoot at all. Heavy, rough trigger, but very reliable.
I have P11 and PF9 and have issues with both for over a year. I don't like the trigger on either the P11 or the Kahr. I don't know reliability on the Kahr but Kel Tec's are a roll of the dice. You either win or lose. No in between. If you go to KTOG.com there are posting there that tell you how to lighten the trigger on P11. I've done it and it makes big diff. My issues are FTF FTE. I just did a review on this thread on my Taurus 709 Slim and you should check out the Slim before you buy. Not as many rounds as the P11 but much better gun for my money. Just my $.02
Pf-9 is a great gun Keltecs customer service is the best, i hear..
YouTube - Kel-Tec PF-9: Table Top Review, Pt 1
You may not like guns. You may choose not to own one. That is your right.
You might not believe in God. That is your choice.
However, if someone breaks into your home at 3AM the first two things you are going to do are:
1) Call someone with a gun.
2)Pray they get there in time." - A wise man
I've contacted Kel Tec customer service three times on my PF9. The first time I sent them the gun, they sent me a new one. Good deal. The second time, first time for the second gun they sent me a new follower for the magazine. The third time their sending me an extractor. Yeah their customer service is good, their guns, that I have, are not reliable. Why buy a light gun for range shooting. Their intended for CCW. If they can't fire three rounds without jamming, I might as well have a derringer. I'm sorry to be so negative, I've read lots of glaring reviews on Kel Tec's. But, that is not my experience with PF9 or P11. If price is the issue, and your good at tinkering, they may work out for you. Or you may grab a good one like others have said they have. If you do a web search for PF9 you'll see a lot of negative comments as well. So, be ready to make lemonade!
I had a P11 about six years ago, bought used, that was great. Actually, I could out shoot a buddy with a BHP with the P11, and I never had a glitch. I have had, or still have most of the KT pistols over the years, and other than the P32 still in the collection, the P11 is the one I wish I had never traded.

dbx Gate Clamps Down on Noise!
Clamp down on noise with the dbx 1074 QuadGate. Four channels of gating, each with independent threshold, depth, and release controls, make eliminating unwanted sounds a piece of cake. The 1074's flexible internal filter can be activated and managed on a per-channel basis. This filter also provides you with selectable frequencies for precise control over your gating. Craft super-tight rhythms, by means of an external sidechain on each channel. Achieve true stereo gating with the 1074's Stereo Couple switch. Based on dbx's legendary VCA technology, the dbx 1074 QuadGate is an essential piece of gear.
Independent sidechain and selectable frequencies yield a ton of flexibility
The dbx 1074 QuadGate's sidechain input allows you to trigger it with an external signal. Use one track to gate another to create a compelling pulsating effect. Tighten up your bass synth by gating it and triggering it with a kick drum. You can also achieve the legendary "gated snare" effect with the 1074 by sending your dry snare signal to your favorite reverb processor, inserting the 1074 into the reverb's output signal, then connecting the snare signal into the 1074's sidechain input.

There's still a long way to go
One of the many attractive Maltese sayings is It-tiġrija sal-barkun (it's not over until it's over). So here we are, in the third week of the official election campaign. Less than seven weeks to go, but that is a long time. Time enough for predictions (led by polls of course) to swing significantly. This is what happened in 2008.
As I can understand, last week's polls ranged between 11 points (Malta Today) and six points (The Sunday Times), in favour of Labour. The former is a good lead. The latter, with all the "don't knows", and the margin of error accepted by the pollsters, is, shall we say, marginal. What is to be noted in Malta Today survey results is, one, the overall reduction in PN support in its traditional strongholds in the ninth and 10th districts, and, two, the way the new vote is going towards the Nationalists.
With regard to the first, this is no surprise, since the voters in these districts always tend to "play this game" (and I don't mean to be disrespectful to them, but only to be realistic, based on past history). When they come to the moment of judgement in the polling booth things would be different – for many at least.
As for the second, it is encouraging for the PN to see new voters favouring that party. First time voters range in the 18 to 23 year old bracket and they are the people who have the longest future ahead of them; a future which they cherish and care for. Most of them are also highly educated, benefitting from free education at tertiary level.
Certainly, these are people who can reason and weigh the options. And what is important is that they tend be liberal. So why should liberals back a "conservative" party, as the PN is labelled? Interesting.
These polls, however, must be judged in terms of the time and circumstances in which they are conducted. To date, in the last fortnight or so, the Labour Party has come out forcefully, the water and electricity "plan" leading their barrage. Then there are volumes of other proposals. One would think we were approaching heaven. The PN stance has largely been to react, attempting to tear the Labour plans to pieces.
We have had reports from "experts" presented by both sides. I would say that so far there has been much of a stalemate. We have had a full mouthful of the fresh faced, slick, fact machine Konrad Mizzi (and how important the English-speaking is, because otherwise the constantly increasing number of English speaking voters would be at a loss).
I think we've had more than enough of him although he might be a margin above the Kremlin-style press conference troika of Karmenu Vella, Edward Scicluna and Carmel Mangion.
They talked nonsense about Malta's unemployment rate being worse than Spain's and Dom Mintoff's economic performance being better than today's.
In fact, after an opening week of his cool presentations day in, day out, Mizzi seems to have finally been pulled out, following the battering he received from Tonio Fenech on Bondi Plus.
He had by then "tilef il-boxxla" (literally translated as "lost his compass" or perhaps "his direction" – very hard to translate this one). However, this being said, voters (I for one) are not in a position to judge Labour's proposals until the full and complete technical and financial reports are published, something they are refusing to do.
Not only do they have be published, but they have to be analysed thoroughly by those who are in the know (and I certainly am not one of them), and this particularly in the face of the damning KPMG report. And what about the "private" investors who have shown an interest in the project? So let's not waste any more time and space on what may very well turn out to be pie in sky.
Many of the other Labour proposals have already been made by the PN or, better still, are already in place. The PN has largely stayed silent with putting forward the Nationalist proposals. These are expected this very week; unless they have already started to trickle out by the time this piece is published. I am sure there are many more proposals up the PN's sleeve.
I must say that the only really concrete proposal that the PN has come out with, until the time of writing at least, was that on Gozo.
Lawrence Gonzi presented a long list of clearly doable proposals on that island's future. I must say that I have been asked many times by close Gozitan friends in the last months to help Gozo temper its insularity.
I think that the Prime Minister's proposals last week go a very long way to addressing this.
Joseph Muscat was vague and wishy washy about his proposals for Gozo. He has now said he will deliver soon. Let's see
A very interesting and attractive week ahead!

Vendors Must Modify Strategies To Reach New Segments Of Mobile Workers
Posted by Michele Pelino on January 22, 2011
- 565 Recommendations
- 0 comments
Vendors in the mobility ecosystem are dramatically underestimating the demand for mobility solutions in the corporate arena. Why? Because they are missing demand that will come from two emerging segments of employees: Mobile Wannabes and Mobile Mavericks. When combined, these two worker segments account for 22% of all employees today, but by 2015 they will grow significantly to 42% of all corporate employees. To identify the needs of these mobile workers, Forrester analyzed results from the Forrsights Workforce Employee Survey, Q3 2010, which was fielded to over 5,500 employees in Canada, France, Germany, the UK, and the US and captures their smartphone device usage, purchasing behavior, and mobile application adoption.
Mobile Wannabe employees work in desk jobs at an office and do not get mobile devices from the corporate IT department, but they "want to" use their smartphone devices for work. Today, Mobile Wannabe workers account for 16% of all employees worldwide; however, by 2015, this segment will account for nearly 30% of all employees. Wannabe worker roles include executive assistants, clerical personnel, human resource workers, and customer service representatives. Momentum in this segment is driven by Millennial workers who grew up having easy access to personal computers and mobile phones and often purchase smartphones prior to entering the workforce.
An emerging segment of mobile workers are Mobile Mavericks who use smartphones for work-related activities, travel frequently, and often work at client sites or outside of the corporate office. Mavericks are considered to be mobile workers by the corporate IT department; however, they select and purchase their work-related smartphones on their own. Mobile Mavericks are the smallest but fastest growing segment of mobile workers and currently account for only 6% of workers. However, the Mobile Maverick segment will grow at a 20% CAGR, more than doubling in size by 2015 as more enterprises encourage employees to purchase their own smartphones to control mobile device costs.
For additional details on the size of the Mobile Wannabe and Mobile Maverick worker segments, or for recommendations on how vendors in the enterprise mobility ecosystem can capture and address the needs of workers in each segment, feel free to reach out to me, and watch for my upcoming report highlighting the rise of Mobile Wannabe and Mobile Maverick workers.

Dear all,
My name is Daniel and I have been elected to take over from James as the President of the Law Society for this upcoming academic year.
The Law Society exists to inform students as to their intended legal career, but also, and perhaps more importantly, to help students in achieving their career aspirations. Prospective employers are looking for more than a 2:1 from 'Top Ten University' and active participation with the Law Society by virtue of our extra-curricular activities offers exactly that. Our focus on legal careers notwithstanding, these activities will differentiate you from the crowd no matter what career you may choose to pursue.
Our executive team is working incredibly hard to ensure that 2016-2017 is the Society's biggest year to date. Building on the successes of last year, where the Law Society was awarded 'Best Student Engagement' by LawCareers.Net. The various extra-curricular activities on offer this year will range from inter university competitions to local pro-bono work, most of which will be posted on this website.
Finally, I would like to wish you all well in your studies and hope that you will make the most of the opportunities available to you. If you have any queries at all then please do not hesitate in contacting either myself or any other members of the executive. You will be able to find all of our contract details here.
Kind regards,
Daniel Jacklin

You are correct. A 17 mm difference does get to be pretty significant, although I suspect that the most noticeable difference would be to make the speedometer less optimistic!

The OP is trying to make the tire situation on his car better. Having mismatched tires on the front is certainly not an ideal situation, but those "too tall" Hankooks will certainly be much better than the tires with exposed belts on the rear axle.

I don't think anyone here disagrees with the goal. Often, there are intermediate steps on the way to the ultimate goal. As long as the tires on the rear axle match in size, have an adequate load rating, and don't rub, it is a better situation than riding with exposed belts. This is a step toward the goal.

There's only two things that matter in that split second. Driver reaction and tires. Sure 99% of the time it doesn't matter and you'll be "just fine" but it's that one time that counts. And that's the make or break moment. Don't cheap out on tires.
If only more drivers understood this...and acted on it.

The Cambodian Incursion was a military campaign during the Vietnam War that culminated in a limited-objective invasion of Cambodia in 1970. The campaign was known officially in the U.S. Army as the Sanctuary Counteroffensive. U.S. incursions into Cambodia began in 1965 with numerous tactical bombings which thereafter were escalated into an intensive carpet bombing campaign that took place from May 1 to June 29,1970 and were overlapped by the 75-day South Vietnamese incursion occurring April 29 to July 22. A total of 13 major operations were conducted by the allies during the campaign. Only three of these involved U.S. ground forces, but all or parts of the 1st Cavalry Division (Airmobile), 4th Infantry Division, 25th Infantry Division, U.S. 199th Light Infantry Brigade, 3rd Brigade (Separate) 9th Infantry Division, and 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment conducted combat operations inside Cambodia.

The National Liberation Front and their North Vietnamese allies had used large sections of Cambodia along its border with Vietnam as sanctuary areas into which they could withdraw to avoid destruction, rest and rehabilitate units without being attacked by allied forces, and as base areas in which materiel could be stored on a large scale. North Vietnamese began moving through Cambodian territory in 1963. In 1965, the government of Cambodia concluded a secret agreement with North Vietnam that allowed for permanent bases in Cambodian soil and the use of Cambodian ports for supply. In spite of these agreements, the government of Cambodia claimed to be neutral.
In 1968, The Khmer Rouge lauched a national insurgency to overthrow the government. While they received limited material help from North Vietnam at the time, they were able to shelter their forces in areas controlled by Vietnamese troops.
Between 1965 and March 1969 the United States and South Vietnam made more than two thousand incursions into Cambodian territory that were backed by primarily tactical bombing operations, despite Cambodia's claims of neutrality. Thereafter commander of the Military Assistance Command, Vietnam (MACV), General Creighton Abrams, recommended to newly-inaugurated President Richard Nixon, that the base areas be attacked by aerial bombardment using B-52 bombers. Nixon authorized the campaign, which totalled more than 3000 sorties over 14 months.
Sihanouk went abroad in January, 1970, for an extended tour involving visits to communist countries and a stay in France. Sihanouk directed in March that his ministers organize anti-Vietnamese demonstrations as a way of pressuring the communists he was negotiating with. The demonstrations quickly got out of control. Unrest in Cambodia spurred an ultimatum to the North Vietnamese to withdraw its forces from Cambodia.
On March 18, Premier Lon Nol and the National Assembly deposed Sihanouk. Lon Nol did not have the active support of the army at the time. The National Assembly named him as a provisional head of state. This immediately led to Sihanouk relocating to China and establishing himself as the figurehead leader of the Khmer Rouge. Sihanouk lent his name and his popularity in rural areas of Cambodia to the Khmer Rouge movement. Combined with the actions of the North Vietnamese, who were supplying large amounts of weapons to the Khmer Rouge, the country plunged into civil war. Sihanouk lent his full support to the Khmer Rouge even though he had no authority over their organization and little influence on them. When the port of Sihanoukville shut down military supplies, the North Vietnamese Army reacted with military force. The NVA launched a campaign against the Cambodian Army westward from its base areas toward Phnom Penh, isolating and overrunning or besieging a number of Cambodian cities including Kampong Cham.
The South Vietnamese responded on March 27 with a covert raid by an ARVN ranger battalion to overrun an NVA base camp three kilometers inside Cambodia, as a rehearsal for future operations and to test public reaction in the United States. Lon Nol requested military assistance from the United States government on April 14.
That same day the ARVN conducted the first of three brief cross-border operations under the aegis of Operation Toan Thang ("Complete Victory") 41, sending armored cavalry units into regions of Cambodia's Svay Rieng Province nicknamed the "Angel's Wing" and the "Crow's Nest" (from their perceived shapes on maps). These were largely reconnaissance missions in preparation for a more wide scale incursion being planned by MACV and its ARVN counterparts, subject to authorization by Nixon. On the evening Of April 26 Nixon gave his approval, with the stated goals of (1) reducing allied casualties in South Vietnam, (2) assuring the continued withdrawal of U.S. forces from Vietnam, (3) allowing Vietnamization to proceed on schedule, and (4) to enhance peace negotiations.
[edit] Incursion operations
The bombardment of Cambodia began in 1965 as the Johnson administration commanded primarily tactical bombing in support of more than two thousand ground incursions by the CIA and US Special Forces. From 1965 to 1968 US planes flew 2,565 sorties dropping 214 tons of bombs. Beginning March 18, 1969, with the launch of the Menu Campaign, the Nixon administration escalated the incursion into a massive carpet bombing campaign that would see American forces drop 2,756,941 tons of bombs on Cambodia until Congress imposed an end to the bombing in August 1973. The total tonnage dropped exceeded that dropped by the combined Allied forces during World War II, including the bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.http://migs.concordia.ca/links/documents/Bombs_over_Cambodia_Kiernan.pdf
The Menu Campaign began on April 29, 1970, with Operation Toan Thang 42, in which 12 ARVN battalions and 8,700 troops crossed into the Angel's Wing under the command of General Do Cao Tri, the commander of III Corps Tactical Zone and by reputation the most aggressive and competent ARVN general.
On May 1 an even larger operation, known by the ARVN as Operation Toan Thang 43 and by MACV as Operation Rockcrusher, got underway with 8 US and 6 ARVN battalions entering Cambodia. Known as Task Force Shoemaker, the force attacked the "Parrot's Beak" area of Svay Rieng province with 10,000 U.S. and 5,000 South Vietnamese troops under the operational control of the 1st Cavalry Division, using mechanized infantry and armored units to drive deep into the province and link up with ARVN airborne and U.S. airmobile units lifted in by helicopter.
In the first week of operations additional battalion and brigade units were committed, so that between May 6 and May 16, a total of 90,000 allied troops (including 33 U.S. maneuver battalions) conducted search operations in the sanctuaries:
- Operation Bold Lancer (Toan Thang 44), 1st Brigade 25th Infantry Division, May 6-May 16
- Operation Tame The West (Binh Tay 1), 2nd Brigade 4th Infantry Division; May 6-May 14 in northeastern Cambodia
- 3rd Brigade 1st Cavalry Division, May 6-June 25, in "the Belly" area north of An Loc.
- Operation Binh Tay (1,2,3, and 4), 22nd ARVN Division, May 6-June 26 northeastern Cambodia
Almost immediately units, facing largely disorganized resistance, overran large NVA supply bases. These successes, coupled with a violent political upheaval on American college campuses in protest of the incursion, caused Nixon on May 7 to issue a directive limiting American incursion in Cambodia to a depth of 30 kilometers (21.7 miles) and setting a deadline of June 30 for withdrawal of all U.S. forces there.
Seizures of large NVA base areas became well-publicized events, notably "the City" near Snuol, captured on May 5 and containing 182 supply caches, "Rock Island East" on May 8 and containing 28 caches, and "Shakey's Hill" on May 23, all by the 1st Cavalry Division and its attached mechanized units.
U.S. sweeps were conducted by individual companies in dense jungle, resulting in frequent small unit firefights. However most large NVA units, including headquarters units, fled deeper inside Cambodia to remain out of contact, although they were only able to move a small amount of materiel before it could be seized (approximately 400 tons out of a total of more than 10,000 tons).
The South Vietnamese were not constrained by the time and geographic limitations placed upon U.S. units. From the provincial capital of Svay Rieng the ARVN pressed westward to Kampong Trabec, where on May 14 their 8th and 15th Armored Cavalry regiments defeated the 88th NVA Regiment. On May 23, the South Vietnamese pushed inward beyond the deepest US penetrations and attacked Krek. On May 25 ARVN cavalry units surrounded and destroyed the 272nd NVA Regiment at the Chup Rubber Plantation, and on May 29 lifted the siege of Kompong Cham. The last major battle of Toan Thang 42 was again at Chup, where the 271st NVA Regiment was defeated by ARVN mechanized forces, rendering the NVA 9th Division comb at ineffective. The ARVN remained in Cambodia until July 22 conducting road security.
Militarily the Cambodian Incursion achieved its objectives and was successful in destroying a large amount of war material in the area by means of an unprecendent bombing campaign. The operation was successful in destroying the military effectiveness of North Vietnam in the southern parts of South Vietnam. The combined loss of the Cambodian ports and the tons of supplies crippled operations in the area for a long time and assisted in the policy of turning the war over to South Vietnam. For many U.S. units, combat in Cambodia was the last significant action any of them experienced for the next six months, by which time the 4th, 9th and 25th Divisions were completing the process of returning to the United States.
Politically the incursion increased domestic unrest in the United States. The American media and many commentators claimed that the incursion had violated Cambodia's neutrality and had drawn it into the war. Those who supported the war argued that the criticism of the incursion was often difficult to reconcile with the obvious military presence of North Vietnam's Army in Cambodia. The unrest led to violence with the worst violence being the Kent State shootings in Ohio on May 4. Reaction in the United States Congress led to legislative attempts to limit executive power, beginning with the Cooper-Church amendment on June 30, barring further spending of funds for military operations in Cambodia without congressional approval.

U.S. spending on plastic surgery dips to $10 billion
By Walden Siew
NEW YORK (Reuters Life!) - Americans reeling from a recession spent $10 billion on plastic surgery procedures last year, down 3 percent from 2008, with declines for all of the most popular procedures, according to new data.
Breast enlargement, nose jobs, eyelid surgery, liposuction and tummy tucks were all down, with liposuction showing the biggest decline, the latest figures from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) showed.
The top five procedures overall in 2009 were breast augmentation (down 6 percent); nose reshaping (down 8 percent); eyelid surgery (down 8 percent); liposuction (down 19 percent); and a "tummy tuck," or the surgical cutting of excess fat on the abdomen and stomach (down 5 percent).
About 210,000 teenagers between the ages 13 to 19 had cosmetic surgeries, making up 2 percent of the procedures, or the smallest group, according to the data.
The most popular cosmetic surgeries among teens were nose reshaping, breast reduction in boys, breast enlargement, ear surgery and liposuction.
Less invasive surgery like Botox and wrinkle fillers are up 99 percent since 2000. Facelifts also remains of high interest to baby boomers 55 years old and older.
The reported declines did not seem to reflect a cultural shift away from plastic surgery, said Tom Seery, president of RealSelf.com, a social media website focused on cosmetic surgery.
"Interest in cosmetic makeovers is significant and expanding, especially by those seeking solutions to aging and body contouring, especially post-pregnancy," he said. Continued...
