In a bygone era, Vincent Kompany would have received praise and admiration for his well-timed, ball-winning tackle, which helped avert the danger posed by Jack Wilshere's probing run.
Escaping punishment would have been the least of the Manchester City captain's worries in an age when the likes of Ron "Chopper" Harris and Norman "Bites Yer Legs" Hunter may even have criticised him for leaving the Arsenal midfielder unscathed.
Kompany's tackle in his side's 2-0 Premier League victory at the Emirates was inch-perfect. A combination of competence and bravery to skilfully dispossess Wilshere, whose close control would normally have seen him knock the ball to the side, drawing in the foul.
The margin for error was high, but Kompany showed great technique to execute his challenge, just one of many reasons why the Belgian international is regarded as a natural leader and worthy of his captain's armband at Eastlands.
[cat_link cat="manchester-city" type="list"]
The red card he received as a result of what Alan Hansen quite rightly labelled "just about the perfect tackle" was a worrying refereeing decision, which thankfully was overturned by the FA.
Nevertheless, the original judgement from Mike Dean to dismiss Kompany is undoubtedly a product of the modern-day climate, in which tackling is punished to the extreme.
The FA rules state that for a player to be guilty of serious foul play (a sending off offence), he must use excessive force or brutality. It further states that any player who lunges at an opponent in challenging for the ball should be handed the red card.
Yes, the challenge was a firm one, as was necessary for Kompany to dispossess Wilshere effectively. But it was certainly not excessive or brutal.
Furthermore, he does not lunge towards the onrushing Wilshere, but essentially stands his ground, lifting up his back foot in the process.
To agree with former Manchester City and Germany midfielder Dietmar Hamann, Kompany did not intend to harm Wilshere by lifting up his back foot, as would have been the case if the front foot were raised, but instead to avoid being harmed.
Players run the risk of sustaining horrific injuries, when their feet are planted in the ground. A most noticeable case was that of Eduardo da Silva. The former Arsenal striker suffered a broken left fibula and open dislocation of his left ankle, as his leg gave way under the pressure of Martin Taylor's bruising challenge in a match against Birmingham.
Kompany's tackle was far better timed than Taylor's, but the red card was brandished all the same.
Wilshere too has been a victim of this unfortunate trend to punish tackling excessively. The yellow card he harshly received for a well-executed tackle at Wigan in December was similarly disappointing.
In essence, the game's most skilful tacklers are being punished for their ability to perform the sorts of interventions referees consider dangerous if they go wrong.
The FA needs to tell referees not to be thinking cautiously "What if?", but rather give credit where credit is due. The former approach can only give rise to a low-risk and less competitive way of playing football, making fundamental changes (for the worse) to the game we grew up knowing and loving.
In reaction to his sending off, Kompany tweeted:
"Ultimately I'm a defender: Appeal may work or not. I will never pull out of a challenge, as much as I will never intend to injury a player."
Admirable words from a player committed to his principles of playing tough but fair, but he should not have to run the risk of a three-match suspension for doing so.
The game needs to show greater respect to players of Kompany's ilk to help restore the competitive nature of football. Indeed, the way it is officiated at present, one could be forgiven for questioning its status as a limited-contact sport.
Their constant punishment, however, will only exacerbate the issue of a game continuing to lose touch with itself.

Despite its complexities, the market for carbon capture and storage technology is indeed fascinating to follow. I tried my best to capture (pun intended) an overview of this market mostly on the capture part and ICIS Chemical Business just released online today my article on how the chemical industry could potentially benefit from this high-growth area.
Participants in this article include Jeff Chapman of the UK-based Carbon and Capture Storage Association; Shell's Graeme Sweeney; BASF's Andreas Northemann, Praxair's Chuck McConnell; Air Products' Steve Carney; Linde; GE Energy's Keith White; and reports from Citigroup, BCC Research, IEA and IPCC.
An interesting story from Carbon Sciences' CEO Derek McLeish talked about the potential use of the captured carbon dioxide as feedstock for fuels and chemicals production.
Also check out McKinsey & Company's interactive presentation on how CCS technology works, which was just released this week.
My CCS article is going to be part of ICB's Green feature to be published next week Monday.

On Special Report, Hume told the truth on warrantless wiretaps, then corrected himself
Research ››› ››› MATT GERTZ
On Special Report, Brit Hume reported that "[t]he Senate Judiciary Committee's latest deadline for the White House to comply with its subpoena for documents relating to warrantless -- allegedly warrantless wiretaps has come and gone." Contrary to Hume's assertion, administration officials have admitted that the National Security Agency has engaged in warrantless wiretapping.
On the August 20 edition of Fox News' Special Report, host Brit Hume reported: "The Senate Judiciary Committee's latest deadline for the White House to comply with its subpoena for documents relating to warrantless -- allegedly warrantless wiretaps has come and gone." Contrary to Hume's assertion that the administration has only "allegedly" engaged in warrantless wiretapping, administration officials have admitted that the National Security Agency has engaged in warrantless wiretapping.
The New York Times, the first news outlet to reveal the existence of the wiretapping program, reported in a December 16, 2005, article: "Mr. Bush's executive order allowing some warrantless eavesdropping on those inside the United States -- including American citizens, permanent legal residents, tourists and other foreigners -- is based on classified legal opinions that assert that the president has broad powers to order such searches, derived in part from the September 2001 Congressional resolution authorizing him to wage war on Al Qaeda and other terrorist groups, according to the officials familiar with the N.S.A. operation." The next day, during his radio address, President Bush confirmed that he had "authorized the National Security Agency, consistent with U.S. law and the Constitution, to intercept the international communications of people with known links to al Qaeda and related terrorist organizations."
Several administration officials have since admitted that the wiretapping program, which the administration calls the terrorist surveillance program (TSP), involves warrantless surveillance. A January 19, 2006, "White Paper" from the Department of Justice -- titled "Legal Authorities Supporting the Activities of the National Security Agency Described by the President" -- stated: "The NSA activities are supported by the President's well-recognized inherent constitutional authority as Commander in Chief and sole organ for the Nation in foreign affairs to conduct warrantless surveillance of enemy forces for intelligence purposes to detect and disrupt armed attacks on the United States." In addition to claiming that the president has "inherent constitutional authority ... to conduct warrantless surveillance," the paper asserted that the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force "confirms and supplements the President's inherent power to use warrantless surveillance." Altogether, the 42-page document used the word "warrantless" 36 times. This document was cited in a January 22, 2006, White House press release, titled "Setting the Record Straight: Democrats Continue to Attack Terrorist Surveillance Program."
Additionally, a December 12, 2006, unclassified reply brief written by Justice Department attorneys appealing a federal district court decision holding that the surveillance program violated the Constitution and other laws stated that "the TSP intercepts without warrants at least some international communications." From the brief:
Plaintiffs claim (Br. 58) that invocation of the state secrets privilege does not require dismissal because "Government officials have publicly promoted and defended the legality, scope, and basis for the program." Beyond acknowledging that the TSP intercepts without warrants at least some international communications to or from individuals the Government has reasonable grounds to believe are associated with al Qaeda, the Government has not revealed any information regarding the Program, including its methods and means. To the contrary, as explained in the classified declarations, the Government has vigorously sought to prevent disclosure of the Program's operational details.
Further, in a January 23, 2006, speech to the National Press Club, current CIA director Gen. Michael Hayden, then the principal deputy director of National Intelligence, who was the NSA director when the warrantless wiretapping program was initiated, said that under the program, "The trigger is quicker and a bit softer than it is for a FISA [Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act] warrant, but the intrusion into privacy is also limited: only international calls and only those we have a reasonable basis to believe involve al Qaeda or one of its affiliates." During the May 18, 2006, congressional hearing on Hayden's nomination as CIA director, while discussing a briefing Hayden held on March 11, 2004, Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT) asked: "[T]he very next day you briefed the majority leader of the House. This is all on the warrantless surveillance program, right?" Hayden replied: "Yes, sir."
Also, during his February 6, 2006, testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales asserted, "[T]he terrorist surveillance program is lawful in all respects." In his description of the administration's legal justification for the program, Gonzales stated that, "in 2002, the FISA Court of Review explained that -- quote -- 'all the other courts to have decided the issue [have] held that the President did have inherent authority to conduct warrantless searches to obtain intelligence information.' " Gonzales also claimed that "Presidents throughout our history have authorized the warrantless surveillance of the enemy during wartime. And they have done so in ways far more sweeping than the narrowly targeted terrorist surveillance program authorized by President Bush."
From the August 20 edition of Fox News' Special Report with Brit Hume:
HUME: The Senate Judiciary Committee's latest deadline for the White House to comply with its subpoena for documents relating to warrantless -- allegedly warrantless wiretaps has come and gone. White House counsel Fred Fielding has asked for an extension until after Labor Day. Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy today called that "dilatory unresponsiveness," but said he still prefers cooperation to contempt, and he'll bring the matter up before the committee when the Senate returns in September.

Jay does some awesome wood work on those boxes, I really like how the rough edges on your box looks, very nice indeed. I bought a beautiful cigar box for a friend of mine, but haven't had a chance to give it to him yet. We are going fishing on the Green below Flaming Gorge this weekend, I can't wait to see his face when he opens that package up. He isn't a big smoker, just likes a nice cigar after a day on the water.

State Infrastructure Institute Within USC's Lusk Center
California's existing infrastructure network is in dire need of maintenance and repair. At the same time, an expected influx of over ten million more people to California by 2010 signals a need to focus on the infrastructure required to accommodate the growth and maintain a high quality of life. Additionally, our political system provides a disincentive for politicians to invest time and energy to the solution of long-range infrastructure needs. To that end, Michael Keston and his wife have provided an endowment to the Lusk Center at the University of Southern California to create an institute solely dedicated to the infrastructure policy and solutions in California. MIR was pleased to sit down with Michael Keston to discuss the Keston Institute and the state of infrastructure planning in California.

While cleaning out a closet recently, we unearthed a bag of Easter supplies leftover from last year. We discovered a bunch of plastic eggs and a few papier-mache eggs. My son, H, asked if we could decorate the eggs. Well, sure, I said--but at the moment I was occupied on another (rather messy) project with his younger sister and wasn't up to supervising more paint or dye or even glue.
Scanning the craft area, I spotted this and knew it was the answer to my prayers: For months, I lusted over the colorful craft tape in my kids' preschool and kindergarten classrooms. Like all kids (I presume), mine LOVE tape, and use prolific amounts of Scotch tape at home on all sorts of wrapping-related projects. But this tape at school--oh, it's on another plane. First, it's masking tape (easier for small hands to tear). And then, it comes in these beautiful vibrant colors, arranged in a rainbow spectrum. But I gotta tell you, it ain't cheap. I finally broke down and bought some on Amazon; it's a LOT of tape, and I figure it will last us for a year, at least... And it's been so fun to have around--we use it for decorating birthday packages for friends, all sorts of wrapping and building projects... and it was PERFECT for decorating eggs!
We used the papier-mache eggs for this project, but you could absolutely use plastic eggs, if you have to have a bunch of those on hand (or, if you're buying them, they are considerably less expensive than the papier-mache version--use the $$ you save to buy the tape!)
This was a perfect NO MESS project to ease into the egg decorating season. And while my six-year-old had a great time with it, it's also a project that extends well for a younger child--you can tear a bunch of tape pieces ahead of time, and let him or her stick them on the egg on their own (you could even just draw or cut out an egg-shape, if holding the egg while sticking tape on is too difficult).
Oh, and if you liked that little nest up top, then check out how you can make your very own. (Again, with just two ingredients!)
My child and I completed Tape + Plastic Eggs = Decorated Eggs.

Have a Tax Question? Ask a Tax Expert
Thank you for using Just Answer.
You may not deduct insurance premiums paid by an employer-sponsored health insurance plan unless the premiums are included in Box 1 of your husband's Form W-2. As long as the premiums are included in income then you are allowed to include them in calculating your Schedule A Medical deductions. If the premiums are taken out of wages before the amount is taxed then you may not use them as a medical deduction.
I sincerely XXXXX XXXXX information is useful,
How do I know if they are or aren't included in box 1? The only thing on his last paystub for 2009 that indicates it is "exclududed from federal taxable wages" are his 401K contributions.

Re: Project "VANQUISH" Widebody kit for CTS-V
A variation of that wing will be produced and only made in Carbon Fiber. This wing is not for looks but performance.
I am off to the "ROLEX 24" so I will try and answer any questions that might come in but bear with me if I don't answer right away.
Thank you for your interest
Wow... That...looks...amazing!!! Good work zzilla and your shop!
That being said, will the kit include wider inner fender linings? I apologize if this has already been discussed ( I've tried to keep up on this thread the best I can).
I really, really want to do this, but it's too expensive for me at this juncture.
I figure the total cost to get a standard V to the point yours is at is:
1) $4000 - widebody kit in fiberglass
2) $3000 - body work to install & prep
3) $3000 - paint, basically the entire car, minus the flat portions (hood, roof, trunk lid) need to be repainted - more if you get the hood too
4) $3600 - CCW wheels (18x10 front) (18x12 rear)
5) $1400 - tires (285/30r18) & (335/30r18)
Grand total = $15000
I'm definitely not trying to discourage anybody from doing this, but I've researched these costs and it's a pretty grim reality that body modifications to this level are ridiculously expensive.
I guess my main question is: will these body panels always be available? I can't afford to do this now, but if it takes me 3-5 years to save up the money will I still be able to get my hands on these?
This is a very exciting time to be a V owner no matter what!
I also wanted to add that the new wheels/tires cost that I added into this are not absolutely necessary, but probably would be needed if you wanted the car to look right.
If someone wanted to keep their current wheel/tire setup, they would have to get longer wheel studs installed and go with a crazy wheel spacer to move the wheels out toward the new fenders. This could be done as a temporary fix, but would not be a great solution in the long run.
Re: Project "VANQUISH" Widebody kit for CTS-V
^ Same Question
I am thinking a DIY who doesn't mind 3M wrapping and cheaper wheels etc. could get it done for a lot cheaper, but I think your estimate is close to do it proper. Now when I see my V I envision it widebody w/ carbon fibre... damn you zzilla! I might roll a different hood though.

Re: Project "VANQUISH" Widebody kit for CTS-V
Yes we are working on inner fender linings. Finding the right materials is the key.
Since every kit will be numbered and as long as the owner wants new panels for any reason I will make sure that they can and will be reproduced.That means even if the business ever closes I will make sure that the owners of this kit have replacments.I too have been in a situation that if you purchase something and the company closes your SOL and that really blows.Which means if someone wants a kit it will be avail. because I will always have the molds. Again no one can predict the future but it is my sincere intent to have these avail.
Small correction on #5 the front tires are 315/30/18( not 285/30/18) and on #4 (on a 11in wide wheel not 10in)
As far as cost other bodykits aimed at performance BMW($10,000 fiberglass) posrshe $25,000 in CF. When you think about it all of the cadillacowners spending $4000.00 for a supercharger and then all the added costs for upgrades rear end axle's etc...to make the drivetrain last to go in a straight line(which by the way is great) in turn this kit is geared for taking corners and handling. It is also to get the widest track possible on a production cts v for the maximum amount of grip on a road course.
I knew when starting this project that it would not be cheap,. but I believe this car deserves to finally be able to reach its maxium potential and to be able to let others have the posibility to do so also.
And a very big thanks to all for the great feedback.!!!!!!!
Time for sleep. Tomorrow back to the track.

Re: Project "VANQUISH" Widebody kit for CTS-V
Hi All,
Got back from the Rolex 24 great race. If you have never been it is one thing to go and see as far as races go.
We should finally be getting in the fiberglass we have had ordered today. We will start making final parts next week .
In the mean time we are working on the rear wing brackets so they can be mounted to the frame of the car.
I am also working on the possibility of Carbon Fiber. If We do this the parts will not be like alot carbon fiber stuff you see out there which either has one layer of carbon fiber and the rest fiberglass or they use black fiberglass which looks like carbon fiber but does not have any of the properties of carbon fiber,Strength or weight advantages.
For instance the hood would be made out of a dry carbon and honeycomb and will only weigh 3-4lbs and it will be a full fledge competition piece.
All of the parts will require a autoclave to produce the strongest and lightest parts. And that is not cheap by any means so if your are looking for carbon fiber BLING these parts are not for you, they will have to be painted or wrapped because they will not come with a glossy finish as you see on a lot of carbon fiber pieces. If any of you have ever seen a true race car with carbon fiber pieces before a wrap or paint you will know what I am talking about.
I don't want to discourage you, I just want to let everyone know that up front and not mislead you about cost. These parts will be for competition.I hope to have some pricing in the next few weeks.
I will continue to keep all of you updated
Thank You

Re: Project "VANQUISH" Widebody kit for CTS-V
When I had my S4, LOTS of people orderd RS4 kits to make their car wide body. Parts cost and shipping was roughly $10k. That said, It also wasn't fiber glass, It was OEM pieces. I would be very skeptical about doing this on a car you intend to drive on typical streets.
Re: Project "VANQUISH" Widebody kit for CTS-V
Rear bumper, side rocker panels, right fender are done. Glassing left fender today. Front bumper next week, then the hood.
Production panels are very light (have not weighed yet for true numbers)The Fiberglass that we have used is for aircraft so it has an amazing amount of flexibility for fiberglass. Things are moving along.
Anymore photos will not be released untill the car is finished that way you will be able to get the whole picture instead of production bits.

Why is FindRoot[] HoldAll?
Recently there was a question about finding the roots of an equation
that is defined in terms of NIntegrate[].
The following *works*, but it gives lots of error messages:
FindRoot[NIntegrate[Exp[a x], {x, 0, 1}] == 2, {a, 1}]
The messages suggest that FindRoot evaluates the equation even before
the unknown 'a' is substituted with a numerical value. This is not
consistent with the fact that FindRoot has HoldAll.
Would it be possible to
1. Either remove the attribute HoldAll to make it clear to the users how
this function works (and allow FindRoot to receive Unevaluated arguments
so that equations containing NIntegrate[] can be used directly),
2. Or prevent FindRoot from evaluating the equation before the unknown
has been substituted with a numerical value.
If either of these two possibilities is implementable in Mathematica,
then IMO the current behaviour can be considered a bug. If they are not
implementable, could someone explain why?

Jennifer Aniston Sets Record Straight on 'Ellen'
Jennifer Aniston clears things up on Ellen…
Just Go With It isn't just a movie title for Jennifer Aniston. It has become a way of life.
"You're going to adopt another dog, I heard?" Ellen DeGeneres asked the actress in an interview airing Wednesday.
"I think you're confusing that with the Mexican child I'm supposedly adopting," Aniston replied good-naturedly, referring to Star magazine's latest cover featuring Jen with the headline, "Yes, I'm adopting!"
Another day, another baby-procuring rumor. But at least it's given her plenty of opportunities to work on her comedic timing.
"No, I'm not adopting a Mexican child," Aniston admitted to Ellen. "Adam Sandler adopted four last week and that never even got mentioned! No, I'm not adopting any children."
But perhaps she's adding a puppy to the homestead?
"No, and no doggies right now," Aniston added.

The problem with that theory is that you really don't have any idea where pressures are going when you overstuff a .30-30 case, or a re-formed .375 case.
The M336 is a pretty sturdy design, but as you near the top end of the load range, pressures tend to increase well out of proportion to the amount of propellant added.
I never worry about a Max load in a manual being a problem, as there is some extra margin with a Marlin, and I know guys with M788 Remington's, T/C's and Ruger No.3's that use some pretty pumped up loads in .30-30 brass without failures, but those actions have a lot more structural integrity by design.

The strong smell of this product was not what i expected from something labeled natural and vegan. Think the smell of regular baby lotion intensified 10x. Washed my hands four times after using it and still wasn't rid of the smell.
I dont recommend this cuz this has weird and strong smell 너무 강한 향이 나요.

Does this sound like your topic?
Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
One of my truck was parked at the truck stop and was hit by another driver. Other driver recieved a ticket for careless driving. Now the truck is going to be out for several weeks and we had to sent another driver to make delivery. Our expenses are acumulating every day and i will like to know if we can request for downtime compensation.
Yes. It's technically called loss of earning capacity. Keep track of your out of pocket expenses associated with the tractor being out of service, list of any jobs you couldn't take, etc and submit to other company or it's insurance for reimbursement.Ask a similar question
You may find it helpful to review the Legal Guides I have published on Avvo.com, one of which deals with different elements of damages. You can access these Guides through my profile page.
One of the elements of damages is "loss of use". If you can prove damages flowing specifically from the loss of use of the vehicle, they should be compensable. If there is a considerable amount of money involved here, you may wish to involve your company attorney or perhaps a "public adjuster" to assist you with your claim.

Mr. Lundeen strongly advises the questioner to confer with an attorney in your state in order to ensure proper advice is received.Ask a similar question

Hey, I have one of those & also a puppy German Shepherd one that I found years ago on E-Bay. They are both awesome to make cookies out of & SOO CUTE! I made sugar cookies for Christmas one year for my family. We had a White Shepherd at the time so I just frosted them with white icing & used mini chocolate chips for the eyes & nose. THEY WERE A HUGE HIT WITH EVERYONE. I will have to try making doggie cookies for Mollie with them. :)

David Warner's latest outburst sounded all the more churlish for the fact Australia has struggled for years with reverse swing, both bowling it and batting against it.
The South Africans were understandably angry when Warner suggested they had been doing something not entirely legal with the ball in Port Elizabeth, where the Australians encountered Dale Steyn at his devastating best and lost all ten wickets for 90. So, in contrast with Warner's "scared eyes" taunt of England's batsmen after the first Ashes Test of the summer, this time he was not speaking from a position of strength.
This Australian team has come a long way since Darren Lehmann and Michael Clarke came together to restore spirits and return to a distinctly "Australian", aggressive brand of cricket that underpinned the Ashes triumph. But Australia's worst defeats in the months before Lehmann took over were suffered on foreign surfaces or against the moving ball - high-class spin or difficult-to-counter swing - and those problems take longer to fix than morale.
Nor are these problems new; Australia was embarrassed by the mysterious but potent art of reverse swing in the 2005 Ashes and many times since coaches and players have spoken of the need to get better at the legal ways of making it happen.
Warner admitted as much during his interview with Sky Sports Radio this week.
"We worked on the ball a lot in England and we got the ball to reverse a lot there and we got the ball reversing a little at home and this time it just didn't work for us because the outfield was probably a little bit moist under the ground and day one it was obviously quite hard to get it to go reverse as well. That's what happens in the game. You have to try and work out how to do that. Sometimes that happens," he said.
Then, as often happens with Warner, he shot his mouth off.
"We were actually questioning whether or not AB de Villiers would get the ball in his hand and with his glove wipe the rough side every ball. That's another thing we have to try and bring up with the umpires."
Warner is as instinctive with the media as he is at the crease, and he shouldn't be condemned for reaching beyond boring sporting platitudes. But to accuse the opposition of questionable tactics after a resounding defeat and one of the great spells from a champion fast bowler does, as the South African team manager said, smack of "sour grapes".
It would also have caused cringes within his own team, and it would not surprise if Lehmann - who likes to handle such episodes firmly but in private - quietly asked his opening batsman to pull his head in.

Sagada caves
There is a connecting passageway between Lumiang and Sumaging Caves in Sagada. This is a sweet 3 hour hike if you go slow and enjoy the beauty down there.
If you enter the Sumaging cave and make a detour through some winding passages you will be able to exit the Lumiang cave. We went with a local guide, George, who was recommend to us by other travelers.
Beth and I followed George as he led us through narrow cracks in the cave walls and up and down slippery limestone formations.
We found that it was easiest to go barefoot because it seemed to get very slick on the white quartz type rock and our flip flops were not gripping too well.
Most people use some type of climbing shoe but for some reason or other we were using flip flops.
It is really a trip in that cave and it would be very difficult for a first time caver to set out on their own because some of the passageways are quite difficult to find.
For experienced cave climbers or spelunkers it would not be very challenging but still the beauty would be very rewarding and perhaps quite refreshing if they chose to go swimming in the underground lake.
It was a rush being down there winding up through places like the chimney and other restrictions. I couldn't help but thinking what an experience it would be to do a cave like this with scuba equipment if it was totally submerged.
I never was that excited about being underground in caves until now.
Once as a younger man I went with a friend to a cave in Arkansas and we got lost in there over night and our batteries went dead.
It was like we were under the influence of some kind of drug or something. Maybe someone put something in our orange juice. Who knows?
We finally got out of there around 4am and it seemed like the middle of the day to us because our eyes had adjusted to total darkness. Lucky thing we had some lighters.
Another good idea is to always let someone know that you are going caving so they will know to come looking for you if you don't show up for dinner.
In Sagada it is quite safe because these guides walk these trails daily and they really know the way blindfolded.
These caves are remarkably clean and well kept considering the tourist pressure these caves get.
There are bats clinging to the ceiling but we only had lanterns rather than high intensity searchlights so we could only make out the outlines of clusters of them hanging up there.
A few would fly around making some kind of squeaking sound.
We found a cricket way back there too. It had super long antenna and didn't seem to be affected by our light.
A trip to the caves is a great idea if you are in the area. You can take a jeepney from Banaue to Sagada or a bus from Baguio to Sagada. Check the other stories for more information.
Sagada is only about an hour from Bontoc also which is a great jumping off point for going to Tinglayan to climb the mountains over there.

Ask an Eye Doctor and Get an Answer ASAP
Hi. I'm online and happy to answer your question today.
When dry eye issues fail to respond to treatment with drops and ointment many times it is because there is more then just dry eyes going on and/or the dryness is more severe. Sometimes you may also have some component of allergies and blepharitis in addition to the dryness.
When it comes to allergies it is almost impossible to pin down the offending agent(s) and, therefore, treatment needs to focus on controlling the symptoms. Dry eyes are very common and can be improved by a stepwise series of therapies. First, the use of natural tears 4-6+ times/day to augment your natural tear production, if this doesn't work then you can try temporary punctal occlusion of the lower puncta, then, if needed, temporary occlusion of all 4 puncta then, if indicated, surgical ( non-reversible) closure of the puncta. The openings to your tear drainage system are called puncta and you have one opening on each lid, near your nose.
Blepharitis is a condition where glands in the eyelids are not functioning normally. They become plugged and instead of putting out their normal clear, oily secretions, they put out thick, toothpaste like gunk. You may not be able to see this "gunk" yourself, unless it is really bad, but it shows up clearly on slit lamp examination.
The best treatment for this condition daily lid scrubs combined with warm compresses. I like to use baby shampoo for lid scrubs. In the shower, place the shampoo on your index fingers, close your eyes, raise your eyebrows (to stretch the skin on your eyelids) and scrub back and forth along your eyelashes for 3 to 5 minutes. The hot water in the shower helps to soften the plugged oils in the glands while the mechanical scrubbing with your soapy fingers removes the oils.
Baby shampoo lid scrubs will also help to wash away allergens and stimulate tear production, thereby addressing all three of your issues. Remember, this is not an instant fix. While you are waiting for the lid scrubs to have affect you can use over the counter allergy pills such as Travist, dimetapp or Zyrtec.
Should your symptoms get worse, your vision become significantly affected or things just not get better in 3 weeks or so you should have a complete eye examination by your local ophthalmologist to look for other, less common, causes of your symptoms.
As you can see above when just talking about your dry eye issue, there are more aggressive treatments available. Before rushing to do them I suggest trying the home therapy mentioned for at least a month and see how you feel.
Does this make sense to you?

To explore potential barriers to and facilitators for implementing occupational road safety initiatives, in-depth interviews were conducted with personnel from four major Australian organizations. Twenty-four participants were involved in the interviews comprising 16 front line employees and eight managers. The interviews identified that employees perceived six organizational characteristics as potential barriers to implementing occupational road safety initiatives. These included: prioritisation of production over safety; complacency towards occupational road risks; insufficient resources; diversity; limited employee input in safety decisions; and a perception that road safety initiatives were an unnecessary burden. Of these organizational characteristics, prioritisation of production over safety and complacency were the most frequently cited barriers. In regards to facilitators, participants perceived three organizational characteristics as potential facilitators to implementing occupational road safety initiatives. These included: management commitment; the presence of existing systems that could support the implementation of initiatives; and supportive relationships. Of these organizational characteristics, management commitment was the most frequently cited facilitator.

Economic woes take toll on workers' mental health
By Ellen Wulfhorst
NEW YORK (Reuters) - One in five U.S. workers say the recession is causing them mental health problems, as they battle anxiety and fear over the potential loss of their jobs, new research shows.
Among 1,068 employed adults surveyed, 215 said the economic situation has had a negative impact on their mental health, while another 359 workers said their on-the-job stress level has increased. The survey was conducted online for employment agency Adecco USA from February 25-27.
"There's certainly been a pretty severe increase in stress, and stress is a precursor to anxiety and panic," said Dr. Elisha Goldstein, a Los Angeles-based psychologist who specializes in stress issues.
Workers are distracted as well, worrying about keeping their jobs, when layoffs might come or the fate of colleagues who already lost their jobs, he said.
"Companies start to become less effective. It starts to become a downward spiral, where an economic recession starts to become more of an emotional and mental recession," Goldstein said.
With job losses growing, company coffers shrinking and budgets tight, it's no wonder workers' mental health is taking a hit, public relations executive and lecturer Terrie Williams said.
"What's really difficult and very isolating about this experience is that people are walking around with that stuff inside of them. It's pretending that you're fine when you're really worried sick," said Williams, who suffered from depression and wrote about it in her book "Black Pain." Continued...

/// Peyton Place: NBC Scores With Manning's Return
The first week of the 2012-13 NFL season was something of a mixed bag, as record ratings in Sunday prime were offset somewhat by a blowout in the marquee Monday night game. The Sept. 9 Sunday Night Football showdown between Peyton Manning's Denver Broncos and the Pittsburgh Steelers averaged 27.6 million fans, making it the second most-watched regular season NFL broadcast on NBC. Only the Cowboys-Giants contest on New Year's Day 2012 put up bigger numbers; the game that determined the NFC East title out-delivered Sunday's broadcast by a margin of around 50,000 viewers. Boasting an average 11.0 rating in the adults 18-49 demo, the Broncos-Steelers game now stands as the highest-rated prime-time regular season NFL broadcast in 15 years. Sunday night's game marked the first start for Manning since Jan. 8, 2011, when the New York Jets eliminated the Indianapolis Colts in the AFC Wild Card game. Multiple neck surgeries kept the four-time MVP sidelined for the duration of the 2011-12 campaign, and after the Colts let Manning go, the Broncos snapped him up in March. Showing no signs of rust, Manning completed 19 of 26 passes for 253 yards and two touchdowns, leading the Broncos to a decisive 31-19 victory over the visiting Steelers. As one might expect, Sunday night's game drew the biggest crowds in the two home markets. Per Nielsen, 70 percent of TV households in Pittsburgh tuned in for the Steelers' season opener, while 67 percent of Denver homes were glued to KUSA, the Mile High City's NBC affiliate. If Sunday night was a triumph for NBC, Monday night's two-fer on ESPN failed to live up to the hype. Bristol kicked off its first Monday Night Football broadcast of the season with a grudge match between AFC North rivals Baltimore and Cincinnati. While the Bengals seemed evenly matched with their hosts in the early going, the game had all the makings of a rout midway through the third quarter. By the time the final gun sounded, the Ravens had rung up 44 points to Cincy's 13. As a result, ESPN delivered its all-time lowest ratings for an MNF opener, averaging 10.9 million viewers and a 4.7 in the dollar demo. By comparison, Bengals-Ravens deliveries were down 25 percent versus ESPN's 2011 MNF kickoff, when the New England Patriots and Miami Dolphins averaged 14.6 million viewers. (Along with the lopsided score, it's worth noting that Cincinnati (No. 35) and Baltimore (No.

If Friday's post didn't instill in you a healthy fear and respect for hurricanes, I don't know what will. Okay, so maybe I'm inflating my writing skills, but I hope it was useful. I promise that this posting is going to be interesting and useful.
I'm a huge fan of the social media blog Mashable, and this posting about tracking Hurricane Bill through social media is another example of them just destroying the competition. Okay, so Hurricane Bill is yesterday's news, but that doesn't mean you can't use their storm-tracking suggestions for future weather patterns.
Right out of the gate, they drop eight separate websites on you that let you track hurricanes online. Taking things one step further, a couple of the sites they list also feature Facebook apps and Google Maps mashups. Then they turn around and give you the names of seven hurricane- and weather-related Twitter feeds that you can follow. To wind things down, they provide you with six different mobile options for tracking storms.
The smart phone ideas probably won't help you in the classroom, and the Facebook apps for some of their suggested sites won't exactly work out either. You could still mention the Facebook options offhand to students who might be interested in their after-school studies. The websites should definitely facilitate your lesson plans by providing you with several outlets to plot and track storms, put eyes on satellite imagery across several spectrums, and receive news bulletin updates.
The Twitter feeds could go either way for you, depending on your stance with integrating Twitter in the classroom. Assuming that you make use of it, adding the feeds they mention to your stream would provide you with some real-time updates to your lesson. Ideally, this is best during periods of high hurricane activity and you'll find yourself with a bonus mini-lesson about how social media has flipped the script on adverse weather reporting.

Road could be renamed ``Neil Armstrong Way.''
(Lebanon, Oh.)--A new stretch of state highway near Lebanon, could be named for Astronaut Neil Armstrong, who lived in the area after becoming the first man to walk on the moon.
The proposal calls for labeling a newly rerouted part of State Route 123 as ``Neil Armstrong Way.'' the $5.65 million project stretching from downtown Lebanon onto Ohio 63 south of the city is still under construction and is expected to be finished late this summer or early fall.
City council unanimously supports naming the road for Armstrong, according to Lebanon Councilman James Norris, though Council has not officially voted on the issue yet.
Armstrong lived on Ohio 123, between Lebanon and Springboro, for more than a decade. He died in Cincinnati on August 25, 2012 at age 82.
Armstrong and fellow astronauts Michael Collins and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin were part of the Apollo 11 mission that landed the first people on the moon on July 20th, 1969.

Fines, jail time possible penalties for violations
If you're planning to stage a Fourth of July celebration with illegal fireworks this year, you'd better think twice.
That's the message that the Sandy police and fire departments are sending out after receiving numerous complaints during last year's holiday.
'As complaints come in, we're going to be more focused on those individual houses or neighborhoods and finding the people responsible for (the fireworks),' said Sgt. Shawn Burns of the Sandy Police Department.
Instead of using illegal fireworks, city officials encourage people to attend the city's fireworks display, to be held at 10 p.m. Tuesday, July 4, from the Sandy High School football field.
'It seems to the City Council there's not much excuse to set them off when the city has one of their own with huge mortars,' City Manager Scott Lazenby said. 'I think it's gotten to the point where there's so much (illegal fireworks) that they push the envelope a little bit.'
Illegal fireworks include anything that explodes, ejects balls of fire, flies in to the air, or travels more than 6 feet on the ground or 12 inches in the air. Legal fireworks in Oregon include base fountains, cone fountains, sparklers, wheels and ground bloom flowers. Some people may be tempted to purchase legal fireworks and try and make them more powerful, but the practice could be costly.
'A problem is people getting legal fireworks and altering them,' said Phil Schneider, Sandy deputy fire chief. 'That could be a felony.'
Sally Morrison, who runs the fireworks booth in the parking lot by Hi School Pharmacy, couldn't agree more.
'Use them as they're intended to be, because once you start altering them, that's when people get hurt,' Morrison said. 'We want people to have fun, but we want them to be safe.'
Morrison, who works at an insurance company during the year, started selling fireworks in Sandy 20 years ago. She noted that the legal fireworks today are much improved over what was offered in the past.
'The funny thing is, years ago, people seem to forget that all you could get was smoke - 100 different ways to smoke,' Morrison said. 'They've really opened up Oregon to have a lot of the fountains.'

Scooter Libby — legal voter
posted at 8:18 am on March 1, 2013 by Ed Morrissey
A footnote in history, but an interesting one nonetheless:
Former vice presidential adviser I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby is among more than 1,000 felons whose voting rights were restored in the past year by Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell, according to a report to the General Assembly.
Libby's name is listed in the Feb. 23 report on pardons, commutations, reprieves and other forms of clemency the governor is required to submit annually. Without elaboration, the report says Libby's civil rights were restored Nov. 1, 2012. …
In Virginia, only the governor can restore felons' civil rights. McDonnell has streamlined the process and, consequently, has restored the rights of more than 4,600 felons — more than any previous governor — with nearly a year still remaining in his term.
A spokesman for McDonnell says that the governor grants the restoration of civil liberties to 90% of non-violent offenders who apply. That certainly is true of Libby, whose sentence was commuted by George W. Bush but not pardoned, which made him ineligible to vote until November 1 of last year.
I wonder who Libby voted for in the presidential election ….

"Right now we are reminding players to play responsibly," said Gary Gonder, director of communications for the Missouri Lottery. "It only takes $1 to win."
Gonder also said people who do plan to buy a ticket for the drawing should try to do so early to avoid long lines that happen closer to the drawing.
"The terminals in Missouri will close at 8:59 p.m. on Saturday night," he said. "I wouldn't wait until then to buy a ticket."
Players should always sign the back of their ticket and put it in a safe place.
"There are nine prizes you could win in Powerball, so keep your ticket in a safe place and check it after the drawing to see if it is a winner," Gonder said.

In a little under two minutes, Nigel Farage sums up the utter farce that "the religion" that Europe has become.
He explains, his fear is that what will break up the Euro, "is not the economics of it, but wholesale, violent revolution," in the Mediterranean, and that is "all so unnecessary!"
Speaking at Simon Black's Offshore Tactics workshop, the so-called modern day Cicero goes on to point out that France's Hollande is "the number 1 among idiots running countries around the world,"and worries that Merkel's pending election means there will be more and more 'tough talk and action' as she shows the people she is in charge.
Simply put he warns, alongside Ron Paul, that if you have money in European banks, "Get your money out," because, "when the next phase of the disaster comes, they will come for you."
