The Arabs, the Jew and the quiet eco-project
It is the great unreported story of the Middle East: that, despite the conflict in the region, an Israeli, a Palestinian, and a Jordanian have been quietly working together for nearly 20 years to protect their shared environment.
And in London this week, the three co-directors of the Friends of the Earth Middle East (FoEME) spoke about their "shared vision" at a fundraising event held by the New Israel Fund.
Set up in 1994 by Israeli Gidon Bromberg, FoEME has offices in Amman, Bethlehem and Tel Aviv and focuses on sustainable development, improving scarce water resources and renewable energy.
Jordan's Munqueth Mehyar said: "When the peace treaty [between Israel and Jordan] was signed in 1994, we felt that it would bring a lot of business to the region, which had been closed for a long time because of the war. As environmentalists, we were worried about the size and kind of business and that the region would not be able to take this burden.
"We knew the only way to live in this region was to bring people together through the environment, which knows no boundaries."
Palestinian Nader Al-Khateeb said that the conflict has never affected their relationship "personally". During the Israeli incursion into Bethlehem in 2003, he was under curfew for 40 days and the roof was blown off his house.
"Underneath, I was communicating with Gidon, talking about raising funds to repair water tanks," he said.
Mr Bromberg said: "We share a vision of a two-state solution, with Jerusalem as a shared capital. The beauty is we can bring people on board who don't share that vision, but understand that we must help the environment."

Congressman West should be President.
Paul P & West VP! As far as this "incident" the favorite words of my old SGT come to mind:
"Who gives a rat's ass?"
- 14 January, 2012 13:22
Congressman West is right on the mark...he has my vote.

- Richard G. Williams, Jr. said...
Brock - you have a military background, not me. Though I agree the incident is way overblown, it's not one I would condone either. I think West's approach is the proper and balanced one.

Lindsay - West is very much a common sense, no nonsense kind of a man. The type that would make a great leader now. Secy of Defense maybe?

Sounds like just the type of man we need...I am hopeful that before long people will start voting based on things like common sense versus money and popularity.

A Veteran's Day re-post from 2010 SFC Jerry "Mad Dog" Shriver
"No one else could engage the machinegun that trapped Shriver's men -- it was up to Mad Dog. Skittish Yards looked to Shriver and his half-grin restored a sense of confidence. Then they were on their feet, charging -- Shriver was his old self, running to the sound of guns, a True Believer Yard on either side, all of them dashing through the flying bullets, into the treeline, into the very guts of Mad Dog's great nemesis, COSVN. And Mad Dog Shriver was never seen again."
His last mission is well documented on the internet, so I will not be redundant, but most of the NCO's in SF prefer to remember him as the leader, who, with NVA on all sides, refused extraction, saying, "No, No, I've got em right where I want em, surrounded from the inside."

Dear Old Dom.,
Would General Lee have approved of this action? We know he would not have. The Marine Corps Hymn states" to keep our honor clean." Do it. When we act like barbarians we become the enemy.
- 16 January, 2012 09:56
- Richard G. Williams, Jr. said...
Dear Dave - no, he would not. Oddly enough, that is actually the first thought that came to my mind. But I think you're missing West's point. He is (as am I), all for holding them accountable for their actions according to military regulations. He cites it specifically. Did you miss that? But there needs to be a sense of balance regarding the outrage. Urinating on a corpse hardly compares with gutting one, dragging it through the streets or hanging it from a bridge.
Give me a break.

95 chevy z71 spitting and shaking at 70mph
I have a 95 Chevy z71 350 and a couple of months ago on the highway it started shaking real violently at 70mph, and kinda bogs down and wont go any faster. If I let it coast for awhile it will go away and i can climb back up to 69mph. If i put my foot in it it will spit out the tail pipe.
Parts iv'e changed:
Fuel pump and filter
EGR valve
I don't have catalytic converters so i know there not clogged.
I thought fuel but I don't know its got me buffaloed
Any help would be greatly appreciated i just don't wanna keep throwing parts at it.
hmm.. maybe its a spark issue?? hard to tell without seeing. is that an efi engine or tbi?
My friends truck had this problem but not as bad. He has a '94 GMC Sierra and all we did was change his plug wires and it fixed the problem right away. But that's just my guess is the wires.
camaro820- its a tbi motor
bravelil305-the spark plugs and wires are not that old but i will check someone also told ecm so i will be checking this weekend
thank you for the advice

I assumed that Tenma, being in the test equipment biz, would arrange the output jacks for use with dual banana jacks. NOT so. They could have made the case an inch longer, spaced the jacks correctly, and opened the door to easy connection to existing test setups(like mine) and adapters to BNC, etc. Sounds like an otherwise perfectly good unit, but I'll be returning this untried. If you are willing to manufacture all new adapters using individual banana jacks, I guess this is a good deal.Bummer.

College Drinking FAQ
What is Alcohol Poisoning?
When a person drinks alcohol rapidly, his or her blood alcohol level can quickly climb to a dangerous level. High levels of alcohol affect parts of the brain and nervous system that control breathing, heartbeat and other related functions. When the blood alcohol level gets too high, a person can stop breathing and his or her heart may stop beating. A person is normally unconscious when they are this drunk.
How Can You Tell When a Person is Suffering from Alcohol Poisoning?
If conscious, the person will be very confused or appear to be in a stupor. If they are unconscious, they may appear to be in a coma. They will be unresponsive if someone tries to wake them up. They may also show the following signs: vomiting, seizures or unusually slow or irregular breathing. They may feel cold, be pale and their skin may look bluish, all signs of the hypothermia that may occur when too much alcohol has been drunk.
Is It OK to Let a Person Who Has Passed Out from Drinking Just Sleep it Off?
NO! There are two reasons for this. First, a person who passes out after drinking may still have more unabsorbed alcohol in their stomach or intestines. While they are unconscious, alcohol will still be absorbed into the bloodstream. Alcohol depresses respiration and the gag reflex, meaning that even though the body might like to vomit up the toxic amount of alcohol that has been consumed, it may not be able to. The alcohol in the person's body may just depress respiration to the point of death, if the individual is not gotten to an emergency room for care.
Second, if the body has enough gag reflex remaining to vomit up the alcohol and other stomach contents, aspiration or inhaling the vomit is quite common. This can lead to a person suffocating on their own vomit.
What Should Be Done For a Person Who Has Alcohol Poisoning?
The only safe thing to do is get the person into an emergency room of a hospital where their breathing can be supported, they can be given fluids and monitoring will be constant. Few people outside a hospital can provide constant enough and skilled enough care to get the person through all the hazards of an alcohol overdose. It is better to have your friend be mad at you for days or even weeks than to know that you could have helped him or her survive the alcohol overdose but you just failed to help.
What are Some Signs That a College Student is Not in Control of His or Her Drinking?
- Schoolwork assignments are not completed or fall off in quality.
- Grades drop, attendance in classes is poor.
- There have been disciplinary actions by the school, perhaps repeatedly.
- Legal problems are showing up from DUI arrests or assaults while the person was under the influence.
- Relationships with friends, a girlfriend or boyfriend, faculty and family are deteriorating.
- The person goes through personality changes such as becoming more irritable, impatient, defensive or temperamental.
- The person begins to experience memory lapses, has poor concentration.
- The person's physical condition or personal care begins to worsen.
How Many People Die or are Hurt Each Year from Alcohol-Related Causes?
A 2009 report stated that 1,825 college students died of injuries sustained in alcohol-created accidents, including car accidents, in one year. More than half a million more were injured in alcohol-related incidents.
What other harm occurred while college students had been drinking?
This 2009 report also stated that nearly 700,000 college students were assaulted by another student who had been drinking, and 97,000 were the victims of alcohol-related sexual assault or date rape.
How Many Students are Problem Drinkers?
About 25 percent of college students included in a number of surveys executed between 1996 and 2002 reported problems with their classes, grades or assignments as a result of drinking. A little more than one percent of students whose drinking has gotten out of control has tried to commit suicide. And nearly one-third of all students were consuming alcohol and seeing adverse effects to the extent that they could be classified as dependent on or abusing alcohol.
How Can You Help a College Student if He or She Can't Control aDrinking Problem?
If you get the student to an effective alcohol rehabilitation program, he or she can recover from the alcohol abuse, learn how to live drug-free, and then return to school to complete their education. Many colleges and universities will permit a medical leave so a student can enter an inpatient rehabilitation program.
Many college students who once had alcohol or drug problems found that they could live drug-free and alcohol-free at college after they completed the Narconon drug and alcohol rehabilitation program. With Narconon programs available on six continents, college students at campuses around the world have a way to leave alcohol abuse behind in favor of a productive, enjoyable life free from drugs or alcohol.
If you know a student who is struggling with alcohol abuse, have them contact a Narconon drug and alcohol rehab counselor to find the Narconon alcohol rehab program closest to them.

If some of you enjoy playing poker online you may have notice that sometimes it can be a little bit hard to be eligible to play especially if you are from north america.
So here is the thing, most poker sites allow you to run applications on their site(so there is no need to download anything) but most of this application are java based, therefore using a proxy wouldnt always work as i have heard that java exposes your real ip.
Is there any way to bypass this filter?
Thank you

House Speaker Boehner Signals He Wants To Shift Fiscal Fight To Senate. Senate Majority Leader Reid Says GOP Dominated By 'Anarchists.' Budget Expert Hoagland Now Sees 'Real Possibility' of Brief Govt Shutdown
September 18, 2013
Market News International (MNI)
John Shaw
"No one seems to have an end game or a strategy. Everything seems reactive and ad hoc," said Robert Bixby, executive director of the Concord Coalition. He added, "there is no negotiation going on and everyone seems to accept a bad result as a foregone conclusion, so most of the effort seems to be channeled toward avoiding getting blamed for whatever happens. It seems quite possible we could have at least a brief government shutdown, largely by accident."

Hi Folks. Me has not written in a while and I know how you all love me so >blushes
Ok it started out as a usual day, me sleepin and Mom was home today. Then.....THEN.....Buddy got food and the gate to the kitchen went up and I tried to get in but it wasn't happening. WHAT NO FOOD AND NO WATER???? hmmmm ... It was early, much earlier than we usually get our food but Mom's working so our times change for the food schedule sometimes. I'm still thinkin there must be a suprise surely there must be a suprise. YUP there was a suprise I was going "by by" in the "car car" and little Buddy was staying home. Ok that's cool. Boy did Buddy raise cane, he yelped and barked like somebody was chokin him as he watched us drive away from the window. Maybe we're going to get that scrumpcious hamburger or something at the Burger place. Maybe it's my birthday and I didn't know it sure I forgot. Yeah that's got to be it. Mom is spending the day with me. ahhhhh....we toodled down the road and it was awesome. Me and Mom, spending the day, and cool things to look at. hmmmm we passed by the Burger King, it's the only hamburger place here. Ok maybe there's another place yeah that's it.

Bad Conduct: PK Yonge Student Arrested
GAINESVILLE - A PK Yonge student has been arrested and parents tell us its because a girl was molested at school.
Police have been on and off campus at PK Yonge for the past week because of what they are only calling "serious inappropriate behavior." Parents tell me that three eighth grade boys were expelled for the rape of a 7th grade girl, which occurred after school hours but on PK Yonge campus last Thursday (11/1/12).
Kathy Olmos a parent of 3 children attending PK Yonge says she was surprised when she heard about the incident. "All of my children feel very safe here, and it was very shocking," she says.
PK Yonge families received an automated message through calls and voicemails alerting them of an incident regarding inappropriate behavior on campus.Olmos says she feels less concerned after the call she received at home.
The recorded call told parents, "I am calling because you may have seen or heard from your child that we have had police officers on our campus this week. Serious and inappropriate behavior between students is under investigation by the University of Florida Police Department. We are taking appropriate steps regarding students involved we are working with UPD to better understand what happened."
Janine Sikes, spokesperson for the University of Florida says the situation is being analyzed. "University of Florida Police Department was called in and certainly is investigating. We've taken appropriate measures here at PK Yonge," Sikes says.
Since everyone involved in the incident is a minor, no information on the matter is being released to us. "I am sorry but we're unable to talk about anything related to the incident because of the age of the individuals," Sikes says.
Olmos says despite what happened at PK Yonge, she has always made it a point to discuss things openly with her three children. "Our family has open conversations about what goes on in the world and how to be safe and how to take care of themselves. Kind of how to think ahead of situations."
One suspect has been arrested and charged with two things, lewd or lascivious offenses committed upon a person less than 16 years old and the kidnapping of a child under the age of 13 with aggravating circumstances. The case will continue to be investigated by the University of Florida's Police Department, who tell me this suspect may be charged with more.

Playing in Pools
The pool is the core Superbru experience. Whilst everyone competes on the global leaderboard, it's in your pools that you'll find the most fun. After all, competing against 10 or 15 friends or colleagues has got to be more fun than competing against thousands of strangers.
Kinds of pools
You may play in up to 7 pools.
Autopools are the simplest kind of pool. If you don't join a standard pool when you join the tournament, you will automatically be allocated to an autopool of around 20 other people. The public pool names start at Autopool 001 and fill up from there. Before the start of a tournament, you may move around autopools, finding one you'd like to be in, but a few days after the first game is played we shut off all migration among the autopools - find out more about autopool lockdown.
Standard pool
Anyone can set up a free pool, thereby becoming the pool's captain. Once you've set up your pool, you can invite people to play in it. There is currently no limit to the number of players who can take part in a private pool, but the experience will degrade substantially beyond a few tens of players. We recommend around 30 players as the maximum.
For a small fee, a standard pool can be upgraded to a SuperPool, giving access to a whole host of extra features and scalability.
MegaPools are designed for big brands that wish to run a branded experience inside Superbru. This could be a competition for your employees or clients, or a means of engaging with a new audience as part of a promotion you're doing. MegaPools come with all the features of SuperPools plus more and can gracefully handle thousands of players. Please contact us on firstname.lastname@example.com for pricing and a customised quote.
Managing your pools
Use the my pools page to manage your pools - you can create, join and resign from pools here. Try to get this all sorted out before the tournament kicks off, as it becomes more difficult once the first game has been played (for example, you'll not be eligible for any Bonus Points for the games played prior to your joining a pool).

|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood? No, no. The Country Mouse and the City Mouse? Scratch that. Paula Abdul and that dancing cat in the "Opposites Attract" video? Lame, I know, but you get the point.
The Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees are two teams going in entirely different directions and both will be thrown into the gloaming this weekend at Fenway Park for a three game baseball soiree that could either confirm the validity of the early seasons signs of mediocrity from the Red Sox or catapult them into a stretch where they fully manifest their baseball capabilities.
The Red Sox and their fans need to put aside thoughts of rivalries. This is merely another series for the cold, efficient, mercenary Yankees whereas it is gut check time for the Red Sox, regardless of who they are playing.
The Yankees always seem to come around at a time when Red Sox guts need to be checked and this early May series could prove quite a rubicon.
Will this series mimic the infamous five game sweep at the hands of the Yankees back in late 2006? A series that all but crushed a boot heel into the throat of the Red Sox season? Or will this series propel the Red Sox to AL East prosperity along the lines of the 8-0 start they got off to against the Yankees in 2009?
The style in which these teams have played out of the gate, it looks like the former verily.
Simply put, the Yankees have dropped one series all year. One. The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim of the State of California of the United States of America of Planet Earth of the Milky Way were somehow able to take two of three at home from the Yankees.
Of course, the Red Sox are in the midst of pounding said Angels into submission at Fenway and will gunning for the elusive four game sweep tonight. So, the Angels beat the Yankees, and the Red Sox beat the Angels, so the Red Sox should beat the Yankees, right?
If only it were that easy.
Remember, this Red Sox team recently got swept by the Baltimore Orioles, a team whose existence the past seven years or so has been merely to serve as a fodder for the class of the AL East to fatten up on, in embarrassing fashion.
As always in baseball, the quality of pitching will determine the outcome of this series, and that is what we will focus on. Plus, that is what Theo touted all offseason, right? Run prevention?
It seems as if the boys and Theo got their wires crossed, though. Maybe Theo Epstein didn't explain it quite well enough to the players. Prevent the other team from scoring runs, but you Red Sox can score all you like. By all means, please do.
So, let's get our hands dirty and break this series down game by game, matchup by matchup, Will McDonough style. Anyone remember Will McDonough? Boston Globe writer? NFL on NBC stalwart? First print guy to make the leap to television? Dubbed Roger Clemens the "Texas Con Man"? Anyone? Crickets.
Josh Beckett (1-0) 6.31 vs. Phil Hughes (3-0) 1.44
How in the world is Phil Hughes allowing 4.87 runs less than Josh Beckett per nine innings? The discrepancy is Grand Canyonesque and the rift is equal parts outstanding pitching by Hughes and meatball lobbing by Beckett.
I'm just glad the Yankees couldn't decide between Hughes and Joba Chamberlain as starters over the past couple of years. Ostensibly, the Yankees could have had a seamless baton passing at closer from Mariano Rivera to Chamberlain but had to get cute and mess up his arm. Thanks, Brian Cashman!
Hughes is coming off a scintillating seven inning, one walk, six strikeout performance against the Chicago White Sox in which he allowed no runs. He has yielded but four earned runs all year.
Beckett allowed five earned runs in his first start of the season, and it must have been a pleasurable experience for him, as he continued on his path of anti-run prevention.
After seven innings of aberration pitching against the Toronto Blue Jays in which he allowed no earned runs, Beckett gave up a seven spot against the Texas Rangers, and then let the Toronto Blue Jays hang eight runs on him in a mere three innings.
This does not bode well for game one of this series, especially when taking into account the unceremonious way in which a number of current Yankees have disposed of Beckett's offerings.
As currently constituted, as Dale Arnold would say, the Red Sox lineup does not have a long and storied history against young Master Hughes. Dustin Pedroia is the most familiar with him, having nine plate appearances, and he remains hitless in all of them. The only Red Sox player that jumps out is the lamentable J.D. Drew, who has managed a triple and four walks in seven trips to the plate. Not a lot to sink your teeth into.
In contrast, the Yankees have 308 plate appearances against Beckett in their back pocket. The Yankees are a superb fastball hitting team, and everything Beckett does is based off his fastball. Its power versus power and the bats have been winning.
However, with Alex Rodriguez and Mark Teixiera already struggling this year, Josh Beckett may be the last pitcher they want to see. Sporting career OPS' of .790 and .416 (that's correct, .416) respectively against Beckett, this could further their funks.
Scoring 17 runs on Monday night, the Red Sox bats seemed to wake up a bit but, unfortunately, the Yankees have no Joe Saunders in their rotation. Well they do, Javier Vasquez, but we will not be seeing him this weekend unfortunately.
This game could get ugly for the Red Sox and set an ominous tone for the weekend. I especially see Robinson Cano, given how white hot he has been lately, doing some major damage against Beckett
Yankees – 9
Red Sox – 3
Clay Buchholz (3-2) 2.97 vs. C.C. Sabathia (4-1) 2.74
Now we should be in for some pitching fireworks. And when you get down to the nut of it, that is what makes baseball exciting. Baseball is a game unlike any other, and in our quick fix, crack generation society games predicated on defensive (read: pitching) dominance just don't cut the proverbial mustard.
Soccer? Wildly unpopular in the USA. Put it on ice, give the players sticks and let them fight and now we have a sport America can get behind. Think about the other three major sports. In basketball you need to have the ball to score. In football, a team must gain possession of the ball before points can be accumulated. In hockey, you need the puck to pot one.
Baseball? The defense is in control, has the ball and dictates the flow and pace of the game. It is up to the offense to react quickly enough to then make the defense react to it. It's a different paradigm and this schism between the natures of baseball versus the three other major sports pretty much sums up the steroid era.
America still loved baseball. Loved the tradition, the heritage and the history, but MLB and Bud Selig allowed the game's will to be bent to the whims of the fans, who are the paying customers, I guess, but I digress.
This will be some old tyme, low scoring, fastball locating baseball. With apologies to John Henry and his facelifts, C.C. Sabathia basically owns the Red Sox (playoff blowups with the Cleveland Indians notwithstanding). This Red Sox roster has posted a career OPS of .667 versus the portly southpaw. Ouch.
Clay Buchholz, oddly enough, has corralled the Yankees lineup to an identical .667 OPS, albeit the number of plate appearances we are dealing with here is greatly skewed toward Sabathia, 211 to 43.
With a forecast of 61 degrees and low humidity, the conditions should prove ideal for these two fireballers to do their do. Runs will be at a premium.
Buchholz, while off to a great start this season, turned in an uneven performance against the Angels in his last start but was given seven runs in the first four innings. But will he get any support this game?
Boston's most consistent hitter against Sabathia, Kevin Youkilis, is battling a minor groin strain and Adrian Beltre, maybe the Sox most dangerous hitter of late having raised his slugging percentage over 130 points in the last ten games, has had almost literally no success against Sabathia. Check this line: .071/.125/.143.
That is uber-underwhelming.
Add in the fact that the late Saturday afternoon, six beer malaise will cast a pall over the Fenway faithful and their leather lunged louts, and we could be in for an efficient, quiet little game here.
Steve Buckley will be so happy. He'll think he's at one of his old tyme games in Cambridge. Maybe we'll retire Tony C's number as well so Buck can die in peace.
Final Prediction:
Yankees – 3
Red Sox – 4
John Lester (2-2) 3.93 vs. A.J. Burnett (4-0) 1.99
Don't look now, but the man with the million dollar arm and ten cent head has quietly put it all together this year. No, I'm not talking about Ebby Calvin "Nuke" LaLoosh, but rather his real life doppelganger: A.J. Burnett.
Burnett hasn't surrendered a run in three of his last four starts. He is leading the Yankees, a team with a 3.45 cumulative ERA, in that category (Hughes ERA is technically lower but he doesn't currently have the requisite number of innings to qualify for league leaders). His current WHIP of 1.16 would be a career best.
Will the unblinking eye and burning spotlight of the ESPN cameras jostle Burnett off his perch of dominance? In past years I couldn't have answered "yes" to that question fast enough. Now? Not so much.
After spending a year under the wing of Roy Halladay and then winning a ring the following year with the Yankees this late bloomer has, well, bloomed.
Wunderkind John Lester, who was forced to be wise and mature beyond his years while battling to come back from cancer, has rebounded very nicely after a shaky start.
Seeing his ERA balloon to 8.44 after being manhandled by the Tampa Bay Rays on April 18th, Lester has permitted the opposition to score but once in his last three outings spanning 20 2/3 innings.
In a nutshell, these two hurlers have been their respective team's best starters as of late.
In lieu of this "new" Burnett, the perceptions gleaned from past performances of the Red Sox batsmen while facing Burnett may prove dubious. However, if past performance is an indicator the Red Sox best hope in this game is the, gulp, struggling Victor Martinez.
Martinez' career OPS of 1.079 versus Burnett jumps out like a kangaroo on greenies, but keep in mind this is a man who, aside from Thursday, hasn't homered since the second game of the season. The pitcher he first took over the bridge? A.J. Burnett.
Now I'm confused.
With Pedroia sporting a healthy .459 OBP against Burnett it will of paramount importance for him to get on base in front of Martinez. This tandem represents the Red Sox' best chance to score against Burnett. Here's hoping Terry Francona heeds this advice and bats them second and third in the order.
With the Rodriguez-Teixeira struggles taking place in the middle of the Yankees order, and the fact that the Yankees don't hit Lester well as a team, the bullpens will have quite a bit of say in this game.
If Lester can get through the sixth inning: Advantage Red Sox. Daniel Bard and Jonathan Papelbon have been doing some great late inning work lately. Even Manny Delcarmen has shown signs of settling down, although the 10th inning, game winning RBI single he gave up to Miguel Tejada in Baltimore was a step back.
If the Red Sox need to go deeper into the 'pen, that spells trouble. Hideki Okajima has been all but useless this year. Even lefties are lighting him up at a clip of .357, which I suppose is better than the .364 righties are touching him for.
Don't even get me started on Scott Schoenweis, Ramon Ramirez or Scott Atchison. If we see any of this trio in this, or any other game, that means bad, bad things are happening.
The Yankees are in the same proverbial boat. No worries in the late innings, with the forever young Mariano Rivera (he is to the Yankees what Richard Alpert is to the "Lost" island) and a stabilizing Chamberlain. Damaso Marte is even giving the Yankees quality out of the pen, holding batters to a .227 average.
This will be the most exciting game of the series and I believe it will be decided in the late innings, long after Lester and Burnett have showered, and will make Boston and New York fans alike salivate for their next series, a two game mini-series in New York May 17-18.
Yankees – 4
Red Sox – 5
This series could serve as ballast for the rest of the Red Sox season. Momentum is on their side after dismissing the Angles. Then again, the Yankees have had Uncle Mo [and Chamberlain, just in case] on their side all year.
This series is more important for the Red Sox. They will play with the desperation of a team tying to mold itself into the winner they believe they are.
The Yankees? This is just another business trip for them, but one that will not end well. The Red Sox will take two of three in this series. Book it.

Alexander Zipf, Chair of GIScience, Department of Geography, University of Heidelberg, Germany shared news of an article comparing OSM and TomTom data in Germany.
A new study by the GIScience Research Group of the University of Heidelberg (http://giscience.uni-hd.de) that compares the evolution of the crowdsourcing project OpenStreetMap (OSM) with the commercial dataset from TomTom/Teleatlas has just been published. It is available fulltext as Open Access at http://www.mdpi.com/1999-5903/4/1/1/ and covers the years 2009 to 2011 in Germany.As shown earlier the data contributions to OSM show a geographically heterogeneous pattern around the globe. Germany counts as one of the most active countries in OSM; thus, the German street network has undergone an extensive development in recent years. The question that remains is this: How does the street network perform in a relative comparison with a commercial dataset? By means of a variety of studies, the authors show that the difference between the OSM street network for car navigation in Germany and a comparable proprietary dataset was only 9% in June 2011. The results of the analysis regarding the entire street network showed that OSM even exceeds the information provided by the proprietary dataset by 27%. Further analyses show on what scale errors can be reckoned with in the topology of the street network, and the completeness of turn restrictions and street name information. In addition to the analyses conducted over the past few years, projections have additionally been made about the point in time by which the OSM dataset for Germany can be considered "complete" in relative comparison to a commercial dataset.Neis, Pascal; Zielstra, Dennis; Zipf, Alexander. 2012.

Re: Mildew on the cabin overhead
Do some searches here, you'll find lots of good information. Vinegar works well, as does Tea Tree Oil. What I found works very well is to wipe down with a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser to knock down most of it, then hit it with the vinegar to change the pH enough that the buggers can't grow back.
Mildew on the cabin overhead
Mostly done cleaning the interior of our Helms 25. Had some unrelated issues that pulled us away from our rebuilding for awhile, but now getting geared up for some serious work.
Cabin roof inside is textured enough that a cleaning cloth doesn't do a good job. Quite a lot of mildew there because of the core being wet for awhile. Have a plan for correction of that, but need to get the mildew off. Any suggestions as to safe solutions to use - I don't handle bleach or ammonia very well. Will vinegar solution, or baking soda, be a good thing to try first.
Our 45 foot Starratt had very few problems with mildew because we ventilated her well when we were building.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

WSJ Erases Romney's History Of Invoking Rev. Wright To Attack Obama
Blog ››› ››› MELODY JOHNSON
A May 18 Wall Street Journal article claimed that the "tenor" of a recently proposed super PAC ad campaign to attack President Obama over his association with Rev. Jeremiah Wright "was far different than that adopted so far by [Mitt] Romney," and that Romney's campaign "has been focused on raising money" and the economy while "rarely straying beyond those topics." But as Politico pointed out, Romney invoked Wright as recently as February to attack the president.
From the Wall Street Journal (note: full article available behind pay wall):
Mr. Romney's comments on the Obama campaign's attack, three days after the ad was released, underscored his campaign's approach in recent days: It has been focused on raising money and building Mr. Romney's image as a businessman concerned about the economy and federal debt, rarely straying beyond those topics--including putting him in front of a monitor at public events showing an updated total of the national debt.
The tenor of the proposed ad [linking President Obama to Reverend Wright] was far different than that adopted so far by Mr. Romney and many other GOP-leaning groups, which have chosen not to attack Mr. Obama personally. The episode was a reminder that while independent super PACs have shown their power to assist candidates they favor, they also hold the potential to complicate or contradict a candidate's own messages.
But as Politico noted, Romney independently raised the subject of Rev. Wright in a February 7 interview on Sean Hannity's radio show. After Hannity played a clip of a speech by Obama in which he warned against "the dangers of sectarianism" and noted that "the diversity of America's populations" meant that "we are no longer a Christian nation," Romney attacked the president, saying "I'm not sure which is worse, him listening to Reverend Wright or him saying that we ... must be a less Christian nation." From The Sean Hannity Show:
ROMNEY: The other part of his quote is also an unusual thing, where he says that sectarianism presents a great threat. Look, we've had -- he may not be much of a student of history but perhaps he doesn't recall that from the very beginning, America had many different sects, many different religions, that part of our founding principle was that we would be a nation of religious tolerance.
Also, without question, the legal code in this country is based upon Judeo-Christian values and teachings, Biblical teachings, and for the president not to understand that a wide array of religions and a conviction that Judeo-Christian philosophy is an integral part of our foundation is really an extraordinary thing. I think again that the president takes his philosophical leanings in this regard, not from those who are ardent believers in various faiths but instead from those who would like to see America more secular.
And I'm not sure which is worse, him listening to Reverend Wright or him saying that we must be a less Christian nation.

Contact your bank/CC Company immediately and dispute the charge. You can find enough negative information on this company on the internet to demostrate they are questionable. My understanding has always been a consumer has 72 hours to get refunds anyway, so for them to say no refunds, that is illegal.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

NEW HANOVER COUNTY, NC (WECT) – The New Hanover County School System is looking into allegations regarding false enrollment qualifications for one local school district.
According to Dr. Rick Holliday, who is the Assistant Superintendent for Support Services, a number of complaints have reached his office in the past week regarding students at Wrightsville Elementary School.
Holliday told WECT.com that some people have filed complaints claiming some students do not live within the school district but still attend the school. He could not comment on the details of those complaints or release how many complaints have been filed.
According to Holliday, these types of complaints come into their office all the time.
"Sometimes the information is correct," he said. "Sometimes it's not."
Wrightsville Beach Elementary has had issues with overcrowding since the school year began. Some parents told WECT.com that they feel these false addresses are contributing to that problem.
Holliday said the school system has not found any evidence of that being true.
The New Hanover County School Board is looking into a number of options to fix the overcrowding problem, including the possibility of rezoning the district. The rezoning solution targets those people who live along Airlie Road.
Holliday added that if the complaints they have received are legitimate, it would not help alleviate the overcrowding issue.
The system's staff members are capable of investigating these allegations.
The school system also has an agreement with a private investigator to handle these situations, according to Holliday. The investigator is only called in when the number of complaints or allegations are more than the staff can process. The PI is paid case by case, according to the school system.
Holliday said employees can usually check tax records or voter registration to see whether or not the claims are legitimate.
He said the school system investigates every complaint they receive from people in the county.
WECT.com heard from parents who believe other parents are using vacant lots, vacation homes or even random addresses to enroll their students at Wrightsville Elementary School.
According to NC law, you may own multiple residences and lots, but you can only have one domicile.

Coach Mike Krzylkmadfladski—as those numerous American Express commercials told you—wants his players armed for life. But when it comes to Team USA, he doesn't want to be armed with his best defender. The coach, with the worst hair in sports next to The Bish, cut Bruce Bowen from whatever tournament Team USA is getting set to embarrass itself in.
Wasn't Coach $100K brought in to restore some pride in USA basketball? And to do that, wasn't he supposed to rely on that good old fashion Coach $100K approach.
No, not media whoring and making bad commercials. Solid defense.
Team USA had long assembled its national team the same way kids collect trading cards. They would gather a group of disinterested big-name standouts, roll out the ball and expect to win a gold medal. But the rest of the world caught up and Team USA started losing to countries such as Nauru. Those in power responded by selecting Coach $100K to lead the team, because—let's face it, the coach's Duke teams never underachieve in tournaments. There also was a new emphasis put on team players instead of big-name stars. Guys who can actually make a defensive stop. Guys willing to do the little things to help their team win.
Guys like Bowen.
Instead, Coach $100K responded by cutting the former Cal State Fullerton star, thus ensuring that Team USA will again have an early tournament exit. But at least they will get a chance to see Coach $100K's latest commercial.

Somalian militant leader denounces reluctant fighters
* Split comes after Mogadishu withdrawal
* Leader vows attacks against govt troops, peacekeepers
* Security incidents creeping up in capital
MOGADISHU, Aug 30 (Reuters) - The leader of al Shabaab militants in Somalia, who were driven out of the capital last week, on Tuesday lambasted fighters who he said had given up hope of victory and abandoned the struggle.
Sheikh Muktar Abu Zubeir, in an audio message sent to media, said his fighters would keep up attacks against government troops and foreign peacekeepers despite the retreat.
His comments showed the divisions within the al Qaeda-affiliated group's ranks as government forces and African Union peacekeepers battled them in the capital, ultimately forcing them to withdraw from most of their bases there.
"This new phase of fighting has also split people into two groups. Al Shabaab -- a faithful group that says the real fighting has just started and believes God's promise that there will be a victory at the end, and a hypocrite group that lost hope and believes there will be no victory," Abu Zubeir said in the message on the eve of Eid, the end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.
Analysts said they expected al Shabaab, which still controls large swathes of south and central Somalia, to return to Mogadishu and adopt guerrilla tactics.
It was not immediately clear how big Abu Zubeir's following now was but he said he would carry out more attacks against his sworn enemies, government troops and AU forces. Continued...

Landlord's right to visit his property with or without notice
My understanding of the housing act is that a landlord cannot just visit his property when he likes, he has to give the tenant adequate notice, usually 24hrs.
Please correct me if I am wrong. I also have a few questions
1. Does this notice have to be a written notice, and if so how should it be delivered so that a troublesome tenant can't deny getting one.
2. Does this notice cover more than one visit if assuming the property needed some attention and the landlord would need to make more than one visit to put things right.
3. If a simple phone call to the tenant was made to give a 24hrs Notice, can a tenant claim to not have been warned and the landlord turned up unannounced?
4. What are the rights of a Landlord when a tenant has not only breached many tenancy conditions but also fallen behind in rent by several months, does a landlord need to give his/her tenant a notice when the rent arrears have reached more than 6 months?
I will appreciate your answers to above questions.
Hi Mike,
I'll try to answer your questions as best i can:
With regards to entering the property this is Section 11 of the Landlord & Tenant Act. A landlord must give a tenant not less than 24 hours written notice (which i suggest you obtain a certificate of posting from the post office just in case), please do note that this is only for the purpose of viewing the condition and state of repair. It also has to be at what is considered a reasonable time i would suggest some time from 10am – 8pm as in my eyes this would seem reasonable. The act also grants the tenant the right to refuse you access at any time if it is inconvenient, however the tenant should have a good reason to refuse access, although just for safety if a tenant refuses access it is best just to accept it as it is a judges decision as to what is considered reasonable.
If the tenant continually refuses access without good reason then this is in breach of contract and this is effectively a legal trigger to allow you to serve notice if everything else was in good order.
If the tenant allows you access but is not present at the property i would strongly advise that you are accompanied by a third party.
I would write a notice every time you were to visit the property as the act does not specify the frequency at which the notice applies to and therefore i would consider one notice to be one visit.
If you ring the tenant this is not in accordance with the landlord and tenant act and therefore without fail i would always write and obtain a certificate of posting as proof.
You can serve a section 21 notice to evict a tenant at the end of the fixed term providing the notice is served two months prior to the termination date or if your tenancy is periodic you can give 2 months notice from the term date. If the tenant leaves and handsover the keys then fantastic if not, after the date on the section 21 notice you will have to fill out an N5B and submit it to the courts which providing that all forms are filled out correctly should (although doesn't always) result in the tenant leaving 30 days from the ruling ( i was involved in one case which went on for a year and a half due to the tenant appealing) even though it is a mandatory ruling.
For rent arrears you could always pursue this through the small claims court.
Another route would be a section 8 notice for breach of contract and rent arrears, which would be served on the tenant and then from the date on your notice you can fill the rest of the documentation in online to commence court proceedings.
With regards to legals and rent arrears, a rent guarantee insurance can save you a lot of hassle and limit any financial pain.
I hope this helps a little.
As a side note I would actually advise when visiting the property to always take a third party as i have heard some horrific landlord stories over the years.

Hi Chris
Do you know the story about why Paul Routledge set up Landlord Referencing Services?
Well, to cut a long story short he was stabbed in the head 5 times by a tenant under these exact circumstances.
We covered the story in more detail here >>> http://www.property118.com/landlord-stabbed-in-the-head-5-times-by-drug-dealer-takes-action-lrsreferencing/17091/
Good afternoon Mike
Section 11 Subsection 6 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 has this to say on the matter:
"In a lease in which the lessor's repairing covenant is implied there is also implied a covenant by the lessee that the lessor, or any person authorised by him in writing, may at reasonable times of the day and on giving 24 hours' notice in writing to the occupier, enter the premises comprised in the lease for the purpose of viewing their condition and state of repair."
However, because of the tenant's right to quiet occupation, your tenant is entitled to refuse you entry and if you gain access without permission, you may be guilty of harassment (the exception being access to communal areas in an HMO let on an individual room basis). As Chris said, the tenant will be in violation of their tenancy agreement if they repeatedly refuse access without good cause. It's a bit of a legal tennis match, which we recently published a blog about.
With regards to your questions:
1. The notice should be written, at least 24 hours in advance, and it's advisable to deliver it by recorded post. You should retain a copy of the letter and proof of posting for your own records.
2. Each individual time you gain entry, be it for repairs or an inspection, you need to give 24 hours' notice. The exception to this rule is if there is an emergency, such as a flood or fire, in which case you can enter at will.
3. A phone call alone isn't sufficient, though it is always worth substantiating the written notice with a quick phone call, email or text exchange to make sure the tenant is fully aware of, and happy with, your visit.
4. I'm afraid that you have to give 24 hours' notice irrespective of arrears or any other contractual breaches of which the tenant might be guilty. This includes extreme arrears cases, such as those of several months.
I hope this helps.
Warm regards
@Mark – i hadn't heard that story, all the more reason to take a third party with you to view a property.
A question I've sought advise on in the past (which i don't believe to have been the correct advise) is what is the course of action if a tenant does not allow the plumber access to carry out the gas safety certificate.
I was told by one firm that you have to demonstrate that you have contacted the tenant three times, would this stand up in court?
Another firm told me that you would have to seek a warrant from the courts to allow access to carry out a gas safety certificate, which to me seems like quite a lengthy process for something which is a very key point to the safety of the tenant and the property.
I suppose this would lead back to section 11 of the landlord and tenant act whereby if a tenant repeatedly refuses access you serve notice and have to have demonstrated attempts to access the property three times in writing.
I've always managed to get the plumber into the property eventually to carry out the certificate but if the tenant were to refuse access Is the above correct or are there any special circumstances relating to a GSC as it is a safety matter?
I appreciate that if a tenant isn't allowing access they are most likely not an ideal tenant, but it is something i have never received an answer which i am confident in.
Brian, Chris Sheldon and others, thank you for your advice, I really was under the impression that once a tenant breaks the rules, then providing a 24hr notice is no longer an issue.
On the other hand, last year when I took with me a Heating Engineer specialist in Warm Air heating, it was found to our horror that not only had the tenant not notified me of the heating broken down, (rather quite extensively and caused by the tenant's own actions)
The tenant started to use a portable Calor gas appliance which goes against the tenancy rules.
but also blocked with a adhesive tape all permanent vents, to the horror of the heating engineer who almost refused to conduct a safety check and restore the WAU that had suffered a major failure due to a reason I shall explain below.
One of the warm air ducts had been blocked or stuffed with her own jacket, i guess to stop heating one room to save on heating costs, but this resulted in heat building up and resulted in my WAU from plastic panel to melt! (or rather deform badly)
That panel as well as over temperature sensors were replaced as the cause of the overheat was a sensor failure, but later on when the Heating engineer tested the appliance after replacing all crucial parts, only then it was discovered that one of the warm air vents was not blowing warm air out and seemed blocked, so when we took the front grill cover out, there was this great big padded jacket stuffed inside!
That was horrific!
So now if I were to give her 24Hr notice, how do i know for sure that she is not using the calor gas any more plus what i9f she has still blocked the permanent vents for open flue requirements, quite honestly in a case like this where deaths can occur due to negligence of the tenant, I should have the right to make unannounced inspections for her own safety. But i know doing so will only cause me the hardship and nobody would look at the fact I am actually doing her a favour and she has two little boys!

@Chris & Mike
I know how you both feel about this. I once had a tenant who would not allow an engineer in to do a Gas check. I was stuck between a rock and a hard place and ended up serving her notice and I really didn't want to do that as she was otherwise OK. Fortunately she did move out without me having to take her to Court but by that time my Gas Safety certificate was three months out of date. If I had had to go to Court it could so easily have been six months or more! I never did get an explanation as to why she would not let the Gas engineer in. After the second attempt I tried a different Gas engineer, so three failed attempts to gain access in all, just in case she had something against the first one she wasn't telling me. I shudder to think what would have happened if there has been a gas explosion in that property. Would the fact that I could call on two gas engineers as a witnesses to the fact that I had done everything possible have saved me from prosecution?
Thanks for your comments Mark, and because being a person of responsibility, I rightfully informed my Lettings Agents and when they saw me in a sinking ship, they simply abandoned me when I most needed their spport.
They abandoned me because I reported to them how the tenant they chose for me, ended up not paying me rent and started to use lethal portable gas heating, and never reported to them or to me that my Warm Air Unit had overheated and its front panel cover had deformed beyond recognition!
It was almost like they sabotaged the heating so that I am forced to replace it with brand new wet radiator heating because she had always wanted a wet system, but she had a choice, if she did not like my place she could have got out and rented another, whilst I am a landlord, I don't grow money in fields.
I have tenants complaining that I have not given them notice for entry to the common areas of their HMO – ( for cleaning, and also for repairs to an oven ) – please can somebody supply me with the exact reference to the relevant section of the Housing ACt which states this …. It is mentioned above, but not referenced, and this is what I will need please, and as soon as possible too please!!
MAny thanks
When the landlord wants to, or tries to enter the property pursuant to a right of access I don't see how the tenant is entitled to refuse.
It is established that such access does not breach quiet enjoyment.
However, it may leave the landlord open to all sorts of allegations and councils will probably quickly side with the tenant so it may be unwise to strictly enforce the right of access without the tenant's cooperation.
Regarding s.11, I don't see that it entitles the tenant to refuse access.
