China approves HSBC sale of remaining $7.4 billion Ping An stake
By Lawrence White
HONG KONG (Reuters) - China has approved the sale of HSBC's (HSBA.L: Quote) remaining $7.4 billion stake in Ping An Insurance (2318.HK: Quote) to a group controlled by Thailand's richest man, allowing completion of the biggest equity purchase in the country by a foreign investor.
For HSBC Holdings Plc (0005.HK: Quote), the sale marks its exit from a decade-long interest in China's second-biggest insurer and books it a $2.6 billion post-tax gain from selling what it no longer considers a core asset.
Approval by the China Insurance Regulatory Commission (CIRC) had been in doubt after media reports last month raised questions over Thai conglomerate CP Group's funding for the deal.
State-run China Development Bank (CDB) did not provide finance for the purchase, despite being lined up for funding last month, people familiar with the matter told Reuters.
One of the sources, who is familiar with CP Group but not authorized to speak publicly, said the CDB credit facility was still in place but CP is not drawing it down as it became such a politically sensitive issue, and it could complete the deal without it.
Charoen Pokphand Group (CP Group), controlled by septuagenarian billionaire Dhanin Chearavanont, bought HSBC's 15.6 percent stake in Ping An in December for $9.4 billion, agreeing to pay up front for around a fifth of that stake last month, and the rest, backed by CDB, on approval by the Chinese regulator.
Payment for the second $7.4 billion tranche of shares was made in cash, HSBC and CP Group said in separate statements. Last month HSBC had said the second tranche would be financed in part in cash and in part under a facility with CDB.
The first payment was supposed to be funded by wholly-owned CP subsidiaries, but local media reports said people not directly tied to the Thai food conglomerate were behind the deal, prompting CDB to voice its concerns. [ID:nL4N0AD33Z] The bank would likely not want to anger Beijing by being involved in facilitating a non-mainland investment in Chinese stocks. Continued...

Royal Bank of Scotland will increase the pace of its clean-up this year with a view to being "fit for sale" by the end of 2014, chief executive Stephen Hester said today.
Announcing a £5.2 billion loss, Hester said that 2013 should be the final year of repairing the bank, which took £45 billion from taxpayers in 2008. He outlined plans to float the 315 branches rebranded Williams & Glyn's on the stock market, sell 25% of the shares in its American retail operation Citizens in the US, cut back its investment bank further, and be in a position to announce a dividend within two years.
"It is our ambition the company looks clean and normal as we move through 2014," Hester said. "One of the things which we and the Government are both very conscious of is that the RBS story is only a success if we are privatised successfully."
Today's £5.1 billion loss includes an accounting charge of £4.6 billion, which reflects the improved ratings of the bank's own bonds.
Hester said: "It actually shows that investors rate us as the most improved bank in the world in terms of safety and soundness over the last year. Without that accounting charge, we would have virtually broken even."
But losses were also compounded by the £381 million Libor rigging fine, £700 million for mis-selling interest rate swaps and an additional £450 million for payment protection insurance mis-selling. Much of the Libor fine was clawed back from bankers, with bonuses across the bank down £182 million at £607 million and those for investment bankers down £145 million at £215 million. Hester said: "The numbers end up being substantial but they are much smaller than any comparative bank."
Opting for a stock-market to float Williams & Glyn's after its £1.6 billion sale to Santander failed last year will mean RBS has to get an extension from the European Commission, which had imposed a deadline of the end of this year as part of its terms for the bank's bailout.
Cutting back the investment bank further will lead to further job losses among the 13,000 staff but Hester was today unable to say how many.
RBS shares dropped 7.1p to 339.4p because the bottom-line loss was far higher than analysts had expected. The taxpayer paid an average price equivalent to 500p a share for a 81% stake, and is now sitting on a loss of just over £15 billion.
Comment: Chief will want to bow out on a high
Stephen Hester put his neck on the block today, saying that RBS should be "fit for sale" by the end of 2014 in time for the General Election.
But he made it clear this does not necessarily mean the taxpayer's 81% stake will be "saleable" at that point. That is a decision for the Chancellor, who must decide whether or not the Treasury waits to bale out at a profit or takes a loss. Banks cannot grow while their customers are not growing, and it will take signs of an economic upturn for bank share prices to start motoring. But similarly the Tories will be pointing to green shoots of recovery if they plan to be re-elected.
What politicians and regulators have demanded of banks since the crash does not necessarily coincide with what investors want.
Hester wants to be able to "articulate our dividend policy" during 2014. I imagine he would also like to be able to announce his departure that year, saying: "Job done."

PIERRE, S.D. -- Excited shouts of "rooster, rooster!" will soon fill the fields of South Dakota. And while that excitement is part of the thrill of the hunt, Game, Fish and Parks officials also remind hunters to exercise caution and restraint, especially on low-flying roosters.
During 2004, 14 of South Dakota's 22 reported hunting incidents occurred during pheasant hunts, quite often when a hunter fired at a low-flying bird.
"One incident occurred with only 40 yards between the victim and shooter," said Hunter Safety Program Specialist Al Bahe. "It's important to know what's beyond your intended target before you pull the trigger – somebody's life may depend on it."
Hunters using the "walkers and blockers" method need to be extra careful. Last year, eight "blockers" and four "walkers" were injured by shotgun pellets while hunting pheasants.
Whether walking a corn field, milo field or chest-high weeds, hunters in a group are at risk for injury from shots taken at low-flying roosters. "The pellet pattern from a shotgun blast at a low-flying bird is typically at the upper-body level," Bahe noted, "resulting in a spray of shot at the head, neck, chest and arms."
Bahe said wearing hunter orange hats and vests may increase visibility for others in a hunting party, but the key is knowing where your hunting partners are at all times. If you don't know where they are, don't shoot.
"The brood counts tell us there are plenty of birds out there," Bahe said. "So let the low-fliers go and wait for the next chance. It is just not worth the risk injuring one of your hunting companions."

A/C Compressor Identification Assistance
I hope this is the correct place for this post. I am trying to identify which models/years vehicles this compressor came in. The number on the compressor is U508S63. There is no other info on it. Not even a manufacturer name. Nothing. It is in my '38 Coupe and I think it is a GM compressor. I've searched the internet with no success. I hope someone on the forum has a better reference source or can point me in a direction to find some info.
Looks like an old Sanden # 508 Model , R12 type.
Sanden USA:
Thanks. You may be right because it is an old R12 type. Thats all I do know about it. It was installed many years ago and the car was given to me with very little info.
Sanden is a very popular Compressor, used in most Aftermarket, Street Rod etc.. A/C kits.
Net search for SD508 will probably show something.
Example >> SD508 - Bing Images Does this look like it?

Wildcats Storm Back for 3-2 Win at Tennessee
Oct. 26, 2012
LEXINGTON, Ky. - Facing a 2-0 deficit in the match as well as an eight-point hole in the fourth set, the Kentucky volleyball team showed great resiliency and rode the energy of the senior class to an incredible 3-2 (21-25, 27-29, 25-14, 25-22, 15-5) comeback win at Tennessee on Friday night. The win over the Lady Vols marks the first in Knoxville, Tenn, since the 2008 season, and it also ensures UK a sweep of the season series for the first time since 2007.
"This match goes to our seniors, they stepped up when we needed them to," UK coach Craig Skinner said. "We knew we had it in us to compete in big matches like this. Our seniors literally willed us to a win."
With the victory, Kentucky improves to 14-8 overall on the year and 8-4 in league competition. Tennessee falls to 14-6 and 7-4 in SEC action.
Kentucky was led by the senior class who provided the spark both offensively and defensively. Senior Ashley Frazier paced the Wildcat attack with 18 kills. Setter Christine Hartmann logged a double-double effort with 51 assists and 11 digs. Libero Stephanie Klefot had 19 digs and seven assists in the match, but kept rallies going with unbelievable hustle.
"Our toughness, resiliency and defense after set two, we as a staff just couldn't be prouder," Skinner said.
Tennessee opened to a 2-0 lead in the game before UK utilized a 25-14 third set win to prolong the match. The Lady Volunteers raced out to a lead as large as eight in the fourth, before UK capped the stanza on a 16-6 run to earn a 25-22 win and force the decisive fifth frame.
Kills from Frazier and freshman Sara Schwarzwalder gave the Wildcats a 2-0 lead it would never relinquish with the momentum clearly on its side. A 4-0 run by the Blue and White pushed the lead to 8-2 into the switching of sides. UK did not let up, and closed out the frame on a 7-3 run with Tennessee committing back-to-back attacking errors for the Wildcat win.
UK posted seven kills on a blazing .500 hitting clip in the set with three coming from the hand of Frazier. Tennessee managed a mere three kills on negative .071 hitting in the final stanza.
Frazier led four Wildcats in double figures in the kills' column. Sophomore Lauren O'Conner had 12. Junior Whitney Billings notched another double-double effort with 11 kills and 15 digs. She had seven kills after the second set. Junior Alexandra Morgan also reached double figures with 11 kills while adding a career-high five service aces.
Schwarzwalder narrowly missed out with nine kills, but added a team-high four blocks. Junior Jessi Greenberg had 12 digs and sophomore Jackie Napper chipped in with seven.
After the Lady Vols claimed the opening two sets, UK came out of the locker room and earned a 25-14 third set win to prolong the match. UK totaled 15 kills on .353 hitting, led by five from Morgan. Tennessee was frustrated into eight kills, committing five errors for a .088 clip.
Four-straight points from the Wildcats opened the third set. The Lady Vols pulled back to within two as late as 14-12, but UK posted an 11-2 run to end the set. The stanza concluded with Kentucky scoring the final seven points beginning with five straight kills. Morgan, Frazier, Hartmann and Schwarzwalder all registered at least one hammer in the run, and then Morgan capped the set with back-to-back aces for the Wildcat win.
Tennessee raced out to a 9-3 lead in the fourth set. UK kept chipping away and mounted a 9-3 run to tie the match at 18 on consecutive kills from Billings. Tennessee took a timeout, and out of the break UK forced the home team into an erroneous attack. Billings came back with another kill to push UK's advantage to 20-18. UK logged set point at 24-22, and concluded the comeback by forcing the Lady Vols into their sixth hitting error of the stanza to force the final frame.
UK totaled 15 kills on .297 hitting with Billings torching the Lady Vol defense with six kills on .556 hitting. Tennessee totaled 13 on .194 hitting.
Kentucky will remain on the road and travel to Georgia for a 1:30 p.m. ET matchup on Sunday. It will mark the first of two meetings between the SEC Eastern Division rivals over the final four weeks of the season.

I can say that Tien is definitely one of the better-looking heroes (aside from Piccolo and Chiaotzu who I rank slightly cooler looking) I like the lesser heroes more than the likes of Goku,Gohan, etc. Yes, I'm eager to admit I don't like the main saiyans.

New "Autumn Reflections" Palette Knife Oil Painting by Contemporary Impressionist Niki Gulley
In Autumn Reflections, I wanted to give you the feeling of a beautiful, peaceful retreat on a colorful autumn day. To create that feeling of being immersed in nature, I chose this long panorama format so that the sanctuary is completely engulfed in fall foliage, a perfect escape from bustling city life. Loaded with uplifting color, still waters suggest a calming effect. One small ripple in the lake's distance lets you know that some ducks just swam by and you are surrounded by wildlife, not a care in the world.

This week is going to be crazy busy for me. I've got something every night this week. I've got dentist appointments, vet appointments and I'm meeting the new Ob/Gyn for the first time, baby ed class and other such stuff.
And then this weekend we are going to try and tackle cleaning out the basement and getting it all organized because on Sunday I have my first shower. I'm having two showers, one for DHs family and one for mine. One is Sunday and the other is next Saturday. My goal is to have the basement all cleaned out and ready for the new batch of stuff we'll be getting. I'm really lucky because our Goodwill will pick up and donation that's larger than 5 items and we're going to have at least a truck's bed worth of stuff. Although, most of it will be clothes. DH and I have lost a lot of weight over the last two years and we're finally getting rid of all of our old stuff.
Is anyone else currently dealing with a DH who really wants to start a large scale house project? DH wants to re-tile the kitchen and while he says it'll only take a weekend (Yea, right!) I just can't even think about starting that right now. First of all, I don't really want to be spending a ton of money before the baby gets here and second, I know it will take at least three times longer than he thinks it will and that entire time the kitchen will be out of use and that thought just about sends me to tears but he doesn't get why I don't want to just jump in and do it.
Ugh, sorry to complain but I almost broke down in the car last night in front of my MIL because he wouldn't drop it and when I told him I already had too much on my plate he responded by saying, "Well, this wont be on your plate. Just don't think about it."
Ok. rant over. Happy thoughts for everyone this week.
Sally sorry to hear about the kitchen project. Scary!
DH took me to a bed and breakfast for a night for my birthday after dinner out with his family. He's such a prince. We had a great connecting weekend together.
about 1.5 feet of snow at my house in VT overnight last nght....
Anna, married to my soulmate, loving on DS (4)
SallyNichole- good luck with your basement. We have a finished basement and one side is the kids play area and fairly neat. The other side is a pit and I really want to tackle it before the baby arrives. For us, it's mostly paperwork and computer stuff so it requires more organizing. Good luck with all your appts. Sounds very hectic.
I would go nuts if DH wanted to start a kitchen project. My DH is sweet but not one to finish projects for months so I would definitely be upset. Has your DH been very good about start/completing home projects before?
Annaconda- so sorry about the snow. I am in MA and we finally have only had rain instead of snow. The kids were so thrilled to see our grass today. It's been covered since Xmas time. That weekend sounds lovely. How sweet.
AFM- just returned from my 31 week midwife appt- everything is great. I am measuring 30 cms but I was 27 cms at my 28 week visit so that still is a 3 cm growth. She was not concerned. I go back in 2 weeks and will bring my birth plan to go over. The birth plan I have used with my first 2 kiddos was fairly simple and just had the items we really wanted that were outside the norm. DH is a wonderful advocate and not afraid to stand up to medical personnell so I am lucky to have him.
He's got really great intentions and he's really good about working on it when he can but the problem comes in that we usually are waiting for someone else in his family to help him finish the work. He's not super handy but other people in the family are. I'm sure that if I weren't pregnant I wouldn't care but with all the baby to-dos and all the stuff we still want to do with our exchange student before she leaves in early June, I just don't think we should be adding anything else.
AnnaC- Very Nice! I hope you were able to sleep in and get lots of relaxing time together.
Karen- 3cm is pretty good. And you still have weeks of growth spurts to go. :) Were your other two on the small-ish/average side?
Ok, so with all the general mommywisdom that we have floating around here, when, after birth, is it generally ok to have an alcoholic drink?
I have only had three craving this entire pregnancy: oj, guacamole, and a margarita.
I know I'll need to ask my dr but I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask here, too.
SallyNicole-don't know about the drinks. We don't drink, but having a husband wanting to start a big project this close to D-day would probably drive me to drink!
AFM-Just spent way too much money on maternity clothes and nursing bras. Motherhood is having a B3G1F sale on nursing bras. I only bought two outfits and four bras and DH kinda flipped at the price tag. So, I may be bringing back one outfit. But, the bras I refuse to give up, That's enough bras to last me through nursing, because at about 12-15 months I switch back to regular bras.
Had an OB visit today. This time it was with the CNM. She's really sweet. She wants me to rest more though... HA
Birthday party for the little man on Saturday. I'm making a volcano cake with a Dinosaur Train toy at the base of the volcano. Making it vegan because of food allergies of the kids at the party. I can do egg free. This will be the first time I've tried milk-free.
Kids are on my absolute last nerve today. I'm so thankful I'm home and it's naptime now!
Me: DH: DD: DS1: DS2:
I had a glass of champagne with dinner when DS1 was 2 days old. When baby is quite small, I tend to avoid drinking more than a small glass of wine occasionally...as baby grows, I get less worried about it. The amount of alcohol in your milk is the same as your blood alcohol level, so the amount of exposure to baby from breastmilk is much lower than in utero (however, small babies detoxify alcohol more slowly than adults, so that factors in as well)
As for your kitchen, usually it's me pushing DH to do stuff to the house before baby shows up ;) With DS1, it was new flooring in the baby's room, painting the main floor, and tiling the kitchen counter (which we never got around to...even now, 6 years later). DS2 we renovated the main floor powder/laundry room at around 35 weeks pregnant, which wasn't too bad, a little over a weekend job. Then we proceeded to completely tear apart the upstairs bath only to (surprise!) not get it finished before our home birth. It was s-t-r-e-s-s-f-u-l and I was in tears alot...my FIL was here helping for a week while DH was at work during the day, and it just felt like NO progress was getting made, and I had no bathtub/shower until like a few days before baby arrived, and no toilet upstairs until AFTER the birth was over!! So, this time I am pushing all the little "we shoulds" in my head waaaay back inside there and we are starting NO renovations. :P If we can declutter a few spots in the house so that we come home to a tidy home with baby, I will be satisfied!!
Sally Nicole, here is a copy and paste of La Leche Leagues breastfeeding recommendations.
"La Leche League's The Womanly Art Of Breastfeeding (p. 328) says:
The effects of alcohol on the breastfeeding baby are directly related to the amount the mother ingests. When the breastfeeding mother drinks occasionally or limits her consumption to one drink or less per day, the amount of alcohol her baby receives has not been proven to be harmful.
La Leche League's The Breastfeeding Answer Book (pp. 597-598) says:
Alcohol passes freely into mother's milk and has been found to peak about 30 to 60 minutes after consumption, 60 to 90 minutes when taken with food. Alcohol also freely passes out of a mother's milk and her system. It takes a 120 pound woman about two to three hours to eliminate from her body the alcohol in one serving of beer or wine...the more alcohol that is consumed, the longer it takes for it to be eliminated. It takes up to 13 hours for a 120 pound woman to eliminate the alcohol from one high-alcohol drink. The effects of alcohol on the breastfeeding baby are directly related to the amount the mother consumes."
So it's best to have your glass of wine or whatnot directly before breastfeeding, and then it's usually out of your system before you will need to feed again. Also, if you metabolize alcohol faster, or are heavier than 120 pounds. Then you have longer in between when you'd need to be concerned. There's always the option of pumping and having some extra bottled milk on hand if you want to have more than one drink. You don't have to pump and dump though because it leaves your milks as it leaves your blood stream.
Thanks ladies.
I'm not looking to have more than one but this entire pregnancy I've craved the taste of a margarita. I'll just have to be a little more patient, I guess.
Ugh the kitchen would bug me and I wouldn't want to start on it either. As for the drinking I prefer not to have a drink the first couple of weeks or at least until I get a hang on the baby's schedule enough to know that I have enough time for the drink to pass my system before the next feeding.
Keep in mind though one drink is one 12 oz beer, one 5 oz glass of wine, or one 1 oz shot. If you have a margarita make sure you measure the alcohol put in when you mix it so that you can be sure it counts as "1 drink" not 2 or 3.

Thanks, ladies.
I'm not looking for more than one. I might even be fine with just a drink or two of one but this entire 32 weeks Ive craved margaritas.
I'll just wait until after I know around when she'll be wanting to bfeed
oops, double post
I've been "lucky" enough to start a major project while pregnant all three times! The first time it was moving at 38 weeks, the second time I laid hardwood floors in my dining room. This time I am preparing my house to rent out. The renters will move in after the baby is born but there is still so much work to do before that. It is seriously overwhelming.
I feel almost bad that this is such an uneventful pregnancy. I fell pretty good. I did have some acid reflux last night and things like getting up from sitting on the floor are tough but other than that i feel pretty good especially when compared to how the first trimester and first part of the 2nd tri treated me.
Evergreen- Loving my girls Dylan age8, Ava age 4 and baby Georgia (6/3/11).
Babies under 3 months old cannot metabolize the alcohol at all. Their livers are still growing. I personally would limit myself to one drink and do it immediately after nursing so that it could clear alot before the next feeding.
oh man. Total meltdown. I wrote a paper this weekend, got about halfway through, worked for about 5 hours. Saved it on my idisk, went to go work on it at work today and it wasn't there. Came home, found it, then synced the wrong way and overwrote it. Bawled for about 20 minutes, as in uncontrollable sobbing like someone had died. Of course the stupid thing is due tomorrow. Now I'm off to rewrite. *sigh*

SallyNichole, I feel the same way! Which is so weird to me - my dh and I are not what you'd call drinkers really, maybe 1-2 drinks a month, if that. We go months without any alcohol and then one of us will bring something home, which will take us months to consume. And I didn't have any desire for alcohol during either of my previous pregnancies, or even while I was nursing, but with this pg I have wanted either a beer or a marg pretty much the whole time. So it's good to see I'm not the only one! And to get some info on how our bodies handle alcohol while nursing - I was thinking if I did do it, I'd have to pump and dump, so it's happy to find out that's not necessarily so.
Oddly enough, at babies r us a couple of months ago, I saw some test strips for alcohol in your milk in the breast pump section. No idea how reliable that would be.
My MIL likes to tell me how her "Irish grandma" (as opposed to her Italian grandma) used to tell her when she was pg with my dh that she needed to remember to drink her "good Irish beer" for all the vitamins and nutrients in it! Happily, she didn't, lol, but it makes me wonder if I'm somehow missing a nutrient I need that I've been craving beer off and on! I should look that up...
It's such a relief to finally trust yourself.

I would have bawled, too. Like a BABY!
I save stuff to google documents as well as a thumbdrive now, because that has happened to me more than once.
Also, MamaChef, thanks for the info on newborn's liver development! I was looking forward to a beer, but will definitely hold out.
Oh my word. Last night I started getting an achy, stabby pain in my pubic bone. It was so bad I couldn't move. DH had to carry me to the bathroom because I had to pee. I think my full bladder+baby was too much weight on my pubic bone because it got better, but still hurts. Anytime I shifted weight last night in bed or walk around it just hurts. I've never had pain like this. I may see if my MIL will come over to watch my kids so I can go to the chiropractor.
Me: DH: DD: DS1: DS2:
Elonwy - been there - it's a nightmare
Becca - ouch! Hope it goes away soon!
Feeling good - hit 32 weeks on Sunday! Getting excited - bought the homebirth kit last night and have some prefolds and fuzzi bunz on the way. Now have to finish my maternity leave plan this week - struggling with it a bit and need to just LET GO.
Caught up, read it all, love you guys!!!!
I have had the occasional sip of beer and wine throughout my pregnancy. I've not really wanted any more than that, but I have loved a sip of good beer every few weeks and ditto with a little sip of wine here or there. I may be in the minority here but if I wanted a sip of margarita, I'd probably have one while pregnant. I've been erring on the side of having a little bit on occasion so I don't want an entire drink at any point. It's been completely satisfying and unworrying to me... and I don't really want a whole drink ever at any point. A little dab does it completely - just for taste, not for alcohol, I guess. There are lots of good yeasts and carbs in beer.
As for right after birth, I found this non alcoholic sparkling cider and tried it and it was SO good and wouldn't result in any kind of dehydration from enjoying it. In fact I totally had 2.5 glasses of it when I opened it last night it was so yummy and delicious. It's going in the fridge/hospital bag for SURE!
I'm straddling the fact that things are flying by vs. creeping along.
Hypnobirthing classes start tonight - once a week, 2 hrs each, and will take me through the end of March.
At my house, the word of the next 8-10 weeks is MITIGATION. DH said to me, ok. We're at that point. We're just going to try to mitigate everything, not be aggressive. We'll clean in small spurts. We'll sleep as best we can. We'll get you naps and good food. We'll make sure you are comfortable. We are on the home stretch here so please don't try to do anything gung-ho. Let me do it for you, accept help, rest, relax, and let this last little bit go by without feeling guilty that you're not "contributing enough". I like that so much. Thankfully I don't have another LO to care for right now!
Anna, married to my soulmate, loving on DS (4)
Love this!
After doing piles of research and getting the 'go ahead' from my OB & midwife, I have been having a glass of wine (or occasionally beer - but it's not my first choice) or two a week throughout my pregnancy. The recommended intake for all sorts of things in the States is very restrictive because people here sue like mad, so I've been checking into all the studies and regulations elsewhere too, so as to get a well rounded view on how the world views pregnancy. I'm a Canadian on a greencard, so I'm seeing some inherent large differences in what my friends in Canada are told vs what I get told here.
Right now, because I haven't found anything that tells me that this is outright bad, it's my plan to have a small glass of very expensive scotch directly after birth. I know lots of people do champagne toasts and whatnot, but I'm a scotch drinker and this will be my first chance to do so since I got pregnant and I'll likely just do a sip now and again while breastfeeding and stick mostly to a max of a glass of wine a day (unless I have some bottles prepared) until I decide to stop.
On a personal pregnancy note, I've suddenly become insanely thirsty and hungry in the last two weeks. I down three glasses of water in a row about 5 times a day. Suffice it to say, my washroom trips are becoming more frequent then anything else I do. I'm not really a sugar person because I've trained myself to not want it because of my PCOS, but now I'm craving ice cream and sweets a lot! I've managed to keep it reasonable, but is this just the baby getting fat time that is upon me?
reelgeek - I was doing the wine/beer thing to, until I found out about my glucose intolerance - then I had to cut it out (along with all other sorts of yummy stuff). I'm planning on champagne right after birth - but, hmmm, you've given me a great idea to get a bottle of fabulous scotch for hubby! I like it, but I love champagne way more.
Scotchy scotch scotch... I think I need to watch Anchorman now lol
Me: DH: DD: DS1: DS2:
Elonwy- I am so sorry about the loss of your paper. I would have cried as well.
Funny, the discussion about alcohol. I made Mexican last night and told DH I would give anything for an ice cold Corona with lime. I don't drink often but I would love to just have a nice glass of red wine on the weekends on occassion. With my other 2 kiddos, when they were tiny infants I only took a few sips of wine but as soon as they started to space our their nursings a bit, then I would sometimes nurse, have a glass of wine and then by the time they nursed again it was always 2-3 hr so more than ample time to exit my system.
I have friends in Ireland and it used to be standard practice to give women Guinness right after labor as they Guinness provided a lot of vitamins and carbs necessary to nursing and helped relax the new mom :-)
Working some contracting hours this week. Just trying to balance everything - still trying to figure that out. DH had one of the managers in his department review my resume and she said they really liked it and that I should submit it to the company. Going to have to wait until after the baby is born but that made my day.
Thanks for the nice words. I finished crying, took a shower and sat down and rewrote the thing in 2.5 hours. Wasn't as good or as long, but it's done and I have something to turn in tonight. I came in late today to work too, cause my face was a hot mess this morning. Puffy and red and a headache. I put a cloth on my face and went back to sleep for three hours, was perfect.
Beer is basically fermented bread, so it's full of good stuff. (not that I can drink it:P). I've grown to love my faux drinks, like the faux-jito and faux-gerita. Though an actual margarita would be pretty amazing, gotta say. I think I'll probably wait until the baby is a bit older and I know how the feedings are spaced, like other people said.
Karen- That's got to feel exciting! YAY!
I was thinking about doing a birthday cake for the actual day of. My husband thinks I'm weird: "The baby can't eat it!" Umm... I can :P
married to Mike Mama to my furry babies just gave birth to our first DS.
Almamiel - you actually can probably still have your wine, you know. My mom is type 2 and often has a glass of red wine along with dinner because red wine actually helps lower your blood glucose levels (white wine works too, but not nearly as much - it tends to have more simple sugars. Since beer has lots of carbs, it may not do anything at all, other than help increase milk supply). The ADA actually recommends that if you're drinking alcohol and are on insulin, you test your blood sugar before bed to make sure your levels aren't too low (less of an issue with us pregnant ladies, since we probably aren't going to be having more than a glass), and there are plenty of studies that show moderate wine drinking can lower your fasting glucose levels (cinnamon does too, by the way - and green tea!). They basically think that wine works like metformin...
Obviously I'm not a doctor or anything, but you'd probably be perfectly safe drinking a little wine in the evenings if you wanted to! In my GD nutrition class, the nurse said alcohol was a big no-no, but the midwife I talked to later said they throw that in because it's a group of pregnant ladies and no alcohol for the preggers is sort of the party line, not because it's actually bad for diabetics.
Due May 4th!
I have had the odd glass of wine with a meal during each pregnancy, too, although all it tends to do is give me heartburn :P I think this time, I had a little bit with Christmas dinner and that's been it...but I did discover dealcoholized beer when I was DYING for a beer one day. It's actually not all that bad! It still has a wee, wee bit of alcohol (less than 0.5%) so I only have one or maybe two if I'm eating food with it. It's not real beer by a long shot, but it's very light tasting and goes nicely with salsa and chips ;) I went through a dying for margarita phase, too, and ended up drinking a ton of sugary lemonade and limeade...so yummy, but so bad for me!
Elonwy, with my second child, I read about making a cake during labour and fell in love with that idea. If you search "labor cake" you should find some threads with recipes here on Mothering...there is one that each egg symbolizes something and supposedly your labour is supposed to move forward as you progress with the cake. It was a great little activity (I kept it easy - cake mix and jarred icing!) to keep me busy and doing 'normal' stuff as long as I could before labour really got intense. I baked the cake and iced it as labour was really getting going, and then we had a little "0" candle and sang happy birthday to the baby the next afternoon (the plan was to eat it immediately after birth, but I didn't feel like it...now that's a first!! LOL!). The four of us cuddled up in bed and ate chocolate cake, crumbs and all. One of my best memories (oh crap, now I am getting all teary thinking about it!). We will definitely be doing it again for this one. Actually, it's funny you mentioned it today, I was just thinking about it a couple of hours ago, planning what kind to make and reminding myself to add it to our packing list.
I love that story Bluepetals. I will probably do a gluten free cake mix, since that is the easiest thing. I have a castle cake form I used to make our wedding cake, I think it would be fun to use that for the baby too. I love the idea of the 0 candle :) Now to convince DH.

Sealth falls hard against West Seattle Wildcats
By Jeremy Martin
Wednesday afternoon was a beautiful day for baseball, but for the Chief Sealth Seahawks the result of a rivalry game against West Seattle wasn't quite as pretty.
An 8-3 Wildcat victory gave West Seattle High School something to celebrate and some much warranted momentum heading into the second half of the rivalry matchup on Friday.
It took a while for the Wildcats to find its groove, not registering a hit until the fifth inning, but once the bats warmed up nothing could cool them down.
West Seattle went on a tear starting with a double in the fifth and not stopping until it had racked up six hits in the final three innings.
"We played a good team, their tough, their pitcher had our number for our while. I'm proud of our guys because they hung in there and it's a seven inning game so it was nice that we stayed with it and kept playing good defense," West Seattle head coach Velko Vitalich said.
It was all Sealth early, as the Seahawks scored in the first inning and were able to pick up five hits before the Wildcats even found first base.
"We had control of the game for the first four innings then we made a couple defesnse mistakes. We settled down and got back into it, but in the end of the day errors cost us this game," Chief Sealth head coach Ernest Policarpio said.
However, by the time the seventh inning rolled around, West Seattle had not only mounted a comeback but had taken a commanding 8-1 lead.
The Seahawks had no interest in going down without a fight though, and picked up two hits, two runs and a hit batsmen in the last half of the seventh.
"We teach our kids to finish every single game, regardless of what the score is. We got hot real quick then their pitcher did a good job of settling us down, Policarpio said. "The great thing about rivalry games is you get two chances to face off, so our kids will be ready to go on Friday."
Vitalich too said his boys will be up to the challenge of taking on its rival twice in one week.
"They have to come to our place, and we've got a little bit of momentum," he said.

Windows > Internet > Connection & Internet Phone > VoIP > Skype
تحميل نسخة سكايب الإصدار القديم Skype 18.104.22.168
Skype is a popular, easy to use and reliable VOIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) program, that allows you call and talk to other Skype users, video chat and more for free over the internet.
With Skype you can not only have voice chats on your computer – just like telephone, only for free – but also make real phone calls at much lower rates, using the so called SkypeOut service and paying with Skype credit. Besides voice chats, Skype also includes the standard IM functionalities (written conversations, emoticons, user avatars and so on) and also lets you have video conferences.
These video calls are precisely the main focus on Skype's latest version. The program's interface has been completely redesigned with video conferences on mind. This means it's been made wider so that video fits in perfectly with your written chat, your contact list and a toolbar to manage conversation. Honestly, I'm not sure this is a big improvement; my guess is that most people still use Skype only for voice calls and will find the new interface too obtrusive.
The sound quality during our testing was perfect: loud and clear. Video appeared a bit pixelated, but nothing we couldn't really deal with. There was also one nice detail, and that's the ability to see your own video image built-in on your contact's video, and the possibility to take a snapshot of your own image.
Other improvements in this beta are, among others, a call quality feedback indicator, the ability to turn alerts off, the possibility to group contacts and a new feature called Video in mood, which lets you embed online videos from Metacafe and Dailymotion in your status message.
Skype 4 features a complete interface overhaul that now focuses more on video chats, and also adds some handy improvements to the way you communicate online.
English, German
Recent changes in Skype:
- Skype Access – access WiFi hotspots the easy way with your Skype Credit.
- Call transfer – transfer calls to a Skype contact or a mobile or landline.
- Updated call quality guide with pre-call soundcheck.
- Bug fixes.
OS requirements for Skype:
- OS: Win2000/XP/Vista/7
- The download link from the publisher's site appears to be broken
- You can still download it from Softonic
- Attempting to download the file from an external source

UAE banks have started applying stringent restrictions on banking services to non-resident Iranians and businesses owned by them, bankers told Gulf News yesterday.
Banks are quietly turning away Iranian customers for fear of violating any international sanctions that could invite penalties for them in the US and Europe.
A leading bank has issued an internal memo to staff to seek prior permission from the top management for offering banking services to non-resident Iranians including salary earners.

Israeli jets bombed a convoy on the Syrian-Lebanese border amid fears that chemical weapons are being smuggled out of the collapsing Assad regime, it was reported today.
Lebanon's army said three waves of Israeli jets violated its territory between 4.30pm local time on Tuesday and 7.55am today.
The Israeli Defence Force refused to confirm reports that a convoy had been targeted.
But a diplomatic source said: "There was definitely a hit in the border area."
The incident came as Syrian dictator Bashar Assad's regime ruthlessly seeks to suppress a 22-month revolt. Hundreds of thousands of Syrians have fled their war-ravaged country.
Britain's Overseas Aid Secretary Justine Greening today issued an appeal for £1 billion to stop the refugee crisis turning into a full-blown humanitarian catastrophe. Ahead of a donors' meeting in Kuwait, she told the Evening Standard: "It's time to get serious. The time to donate is now, tomorrow may be too late."
The UK pledged a further £50 million, which together with £21 billion promised at the weekend, takes the UK total to nearly £140 million.
The Foreign Office was this afternoon trying to confirm reports of the Israeli strike.
Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned his Cabinet on Sunday of the risk that chemical weapons from Syria could be falling into the hands of Hezbollah in Lebanon.
"It is necessary to look at our surroundings, both at what is happening with Iran and its proxies, and what is happening in other arenas, lethal weaponry in Syria, which is steadily breaking up," he said.
The country's vice premier Silvan Shalom stressed any sign that the Assad regime is losing control of its chemical weapons could trigger Israeli military strikes.
Israel is also worried that conventional weapons, including missile defence units, could be handed to Hezbollah militants.
An estimated 60,000 Syrians have been killed in the civil war, with two million believed to be internally displaced and a further two million in desperate need.
The UN-Arab League peace envoy Lakhdar Brahimi has warned that Syria is being destroyed "bit by bit" with "unprecedented levels of horror".
Shocking pictures emerged yesterday of a fresh massacre in the northern city of Aleppo. At least 71 bodies, many with their hands and feet tied together and shot in the head, were found by a river.
At the Kuwait conference, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon told envoys from nearly 60 countries, including Assad allies Russia and Iran: "In the name of humanity, stop the killing, stop the violence."
America is pledging £240 million for the humanitarian effort, Kuwait S£200 million, the United Arab Emirates £200 million and Germany at least £75 million.

I finally got around to putting the current weather back in the blog. This was the one major cleanup from when I switched to Drupal almost two years ago.
It isn't especially elegant: at home I have a Mac Mini running Lightsoft Weather Center; this downloads the current weather from my Davis Vantage Pro weather station. Every 15 minutes, it updates an HTML template and FTPs it as a static file to my web hosting provider. This static HTML page is included on every page of the site through an iframe.
There are also some history graphs which can be accessed by clicking the "Weather in the Frozen North" link; those are also updated every 15 minutes.
I was forced to abandon the Davis WeatherLink software because the Mac version was simply pathetic--it has not been well maintained, and ran as a Java application which seemed to be very brittle. Fortunately, there are now several superior alternatives for weather station software on the Mac which have more features, are easier to set up, and produce nicer-looking output.
Comment moderation has been turned on--it didn't take long for the spammers to flood one of my entries with a couple hundred spam comments advertising what appeared to be puppy spam.
At least the cleanup was quick, thanks to mass delete.
The moderation policy is that any reasonable and unspammy comment will be allowed through, but no promises on the time. This blog is very much a part-time hobby, so I'll get to comments when I get to them.
I'm slowly getting the hang of this new blog software thing....This morning I finally discovered the comment moderation queue (so that's where all the comments went!). I'm still fiddling with the site design, and plan to get a custom favicon up soon.
There was one complaint about the site design--I'm not sure if it's a browser issue, or someone complaining about my nonexistent graphic design skills. I basically took the stock Drupal theme and added my "cosmic finger" banner and snow-covered font from the old site. I tested it under Safari and Firefox, but I don't have easy access to a current version of IE (I have a ten-year-old copy, and this site sucks with that, but I'm not going to lose sleep over that).
The other thing I want to get working again is the live feed from my home weather station--which is only useful if you happen to live in my home, but cool nevertheless. So expect to see some more tweaks of the site design: this is a work in progress, and I welcome all comments. I'm even going to turn off moderation, at least for the time being.
If this had been a real emergency, I would have been running for the exit.
Welcome to the new Dispatches from the Frozen North! I've migrated from iBlog to Drupal, an open-source content management system. iBlog was good for what it was, and a good choice back in 2003 when I first started writing this blog. Sadly, it has not been maintained in recent years and has become almost non-functional as the operating system has changed and iBlog has not kept up. That (and generalized life business) is a big reason why I haven't been writing much the past six months or so. iBlog was simply too painful. I'm hoping that Drupal will be useful for many years to come. It's far more powerful than iBlog ever was, and has a lot of features and extensions for all sorts of amazing new capabilities. For now, I'm still stretching my wings. Expect the layout and features of the site to change a lot over the next few months as I try things out. With luck I'll be able to avoid the temptation to overload the pages with gizmos and gadgets: one of my goals is to keep the site clean and usable. Comments, as always, are welcome. And now supported natively.

Hello from Minnesota.
Hi, my name is Dave and I live in the Twin City area of Minnesota. I grew up on a farm in the western suburbs, but now don't get out there much to help out.
I consider myself a reluctant do-it-yourselfer because I'd rather not have the problems to begin with. But, when they appear I try to find the best approach to fix the problem (by myself if possible). I also try to do most of my own maintenance on the house, lawn, equipment, automobiles, etc.
Many times I get caught up on details that you just don't know when you're not a pro. So, thank you all for the insightful posts that help us struggle through a project that may take an experienced person minutes to accomplish!
Hi Dave,

Help with lockout status
I have 2 Amana Air Command Hi Efficiency 90 gas furnaces. They are both about 12 years old.
One has had service three times in the last month and a half and the symptom is always the same .blowing cold air.
First they replaced the thermostat? Next they replaced the igniter with an upgraded version that is not as fragile. Now they think it is either the control board or the blower. I was told to unplug the unit and plug back in to rectify the problem. This works initially but does not last long. This unit is in a bed & breakfast and a real problem for paying guests.
I am getting fed up with the expense of having service on this unit and am interested in fixing it myself, can someone please give me some insight?

Lewis Hamilton may not have fully realised that he has changed his team over the off-season.
At the Malaysian Grand Prix on Sunday, the Briton came into the pit lane for his first pit stop on lap 8 but instead of stopping into the Mercedes box, he dived into the McLaren pit, where team members were waiting for one of their drivers.
The mechanic with the front jack immediately left his position to clear the way while the rest of the crew waved frantically at Hamilton to drive through the pit box.
Having realized his folly, Hamilton continued to his the Mercedes pits almost immediately.
"Smiles in the garage after a well-worked double pitstop with an unexpected twist," McLaren mentioned on its Twitter page.
"Feel free to pop in and say 'hi' any time, @LewisHamilton!" the team added a bit later on the social media website.
Hamilton's pop star girlfriend Nicole Scherzinger, who was watching the race from the team's garage, too was surprised as she gave a jaw-dropping reaction to the episode.
In 2011, a similar incident had occurred when McLaren driver Jenson Button drove into the Red Bull pit box at the Chinese Grand Prix.
"I just did a Jenson. He did that a couple of years ago," Hamilton recalled.
"I don't know what happened. The teams look so similar," he later told the BBC. "I have been stopping in that pit box for years. It's an easy mistake and hopefully one I won't make again."

Feb. 7, 2011
Sat-Sun., Feb. 12-13, Noon/6 p.m./10 a.m./5 p.m. -- at OSU Winter Invitational (Columbus, Ohio)
Live Results | ohiostatebuckeyes.com
Seven members of the No. 13-ranked University of Michigan men's swimming and diving team (8-2-1, 5-1 Big Ten) will take part in the OSU Winter Invitational on Saturday and Sunday (Feb. 12-13) at the McCorkle Aquatics Pavilion in Columbus, Ohio. The remaining Wolverines will turn their attentions to Big Ten Championships which take place Feb. 23-26 in Minneapolis, Minn. Michigan has won two of the last three Big Ten crowns and has been amongst the top three finishers every season since 1977-78.
Michigan will be represented by senior Sam Wensman (Durham, N.H./Oyster River), junior Casey Sreenan (Miami, Fla./Christopher Columbus), sophomores Alexander Hoff (Mercer Island, Wash./Mercer Island), Andrew Novakoff (Lighthouse Point, Fla./Pine Crest) and Kevin Wilson (Short Hills, N.J./Seton Hall Prep) and freshmen D'Voreaux Cann (Tacoma, Wash./Stadium) and Kyle Duckitt (Johannesburg, South Africa/St. John's College).
Our Records, Their House -- Both of Michigan's relay squads established new records for the 52-year-old Charles McCaffree Pool when the Wolverines traveled to Michigan State on Saturday (Feb. 5). U-M's 200-yard medley relay team finished in 1:29.75, breaking the record Chris Brady, Adam DeJong, Jonathan Hiett and Bobby Savulich set in 2009. The 200-yard freestyle relay squad also set the new bar at 1:22.05.
Moving the Bar -- Freshmen divers Jack Lee (North Egremont, Mass./Berkshire School) and Thomas Jahnke (Ann Arbor, Mich./Huron) took another leap forward this weekend at Michigan State (Feb. 5). Lee's 326.17 off the one-meter board and Jahnke's 367.73 were the highest scores for a Wolverine diver since late in the 2008-09 season. The two narrowly missed Kyle Schroeder's (2006-09) performance off both the one-meter (329.99) and three-meter (373.57) springboards set on Feb. 8, 2009, in East Lansing.
Dual for the Crown -- Of Michigan's conference-leading 34 team titles, eight have come when the Wolverines had two or more losses on their dual-meet record. The most recent example came in 2002-03 when the Maize and Blue entered the conference championships with an 8-2 record and knocked off two-time defending champion Minnesota. In 1988-89, the Wolverines claimed the Big Ten Championships crown after going 5-1 in conference during the dual-meet season, the only U-M squad to have a Big Ten loss -- also to Indiana -- and go on to win the crown. That team went on to finish third at the NCAA Championships.
The Next Generation -- Michigan head coach Mike Bottom announced the signing of three swimmers to National Letters of Intent on Nov. 22. Richard Funk (Edmonton, Alberta), Justin Glanda (Rochester Hills, Mich.) and Bruno Ortiz (Tokyo, Japan) will join the Wolverines for the 2011-12 season. [ Press Release ]

I just went over to the Kramer website very nice looking holsters, use it well.

I just got mahogany horsehide IWB#3 from Kramer today.
This one has a sweat guard, which I like, and is cut to accomodate the Crimson Trace Laser Grips on my gun. The Belt Loops are in the same place as my Milt Sparks' Summer Special II, but are thinner and not as hard to thread the belt through.
What seperates the Kramer from the Sparks is the lack of a metal reinforced mouthband, it's horsehide on the Kramer, and the large "wing" that the Sparks doesn't have. I think the "wing" makes the gun more comfortable for daily carry, but that's just me.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not knocking the Sparks that I wrote up recently, as I still consider it a very good holster and will continue to use it frequently. It's just that I have found that the extra leather on the Kramer is better suited to my needs, for most days.
The Kramer mouthband is reinforced with horsehide and stays open after multiple draws. Also, it is cut to accomodate the Crimson Trace Lase Grips I use. That does make a difference in how the Holster performs.
As I said before, it's not as hard to thread a belt through the belt loops. I have had this issue with all Kramer products I have used in the past. Personally I think this may be more to Kramer cutting his holsters just a "hair" different and not relying so much on the belt loops to position the gun on the belt. I may be wrong about that, but it's an educated guess.
I also received an OWB Double Mag Pouch in the same color and also in horsehide. It is very comfortable to wear. My Sparks Double Mag Pouch is an IWB version. My only complaint with it is it is cut "old school". What that means is, the bullets, while loaded facing down, they are pointed in opposite directions. That can make the last magazine change interesting for someone used to having his bullets facing forward.
My complaint with the Kramer Mag Pouch is the amount of leather. It's an awful lot, thus forcing me to use my fingertips to grasp my magazines. I much prefer to get as much of my hand as possible on as much magazine as I can when doing a speed reload. Oh well, I guess I can't have everything.
With the Sparks Mag Pouch I seem to be able to get more of my hand on the magazines, facing the wrong way or not, even though it's worn IWB.
I prefer horsehide in sweaty environments and metal reinforced mouthbands when I'm in and out of the leather a lot. So for me I have specific applications for each holster, and they will both get used frequently. Both position the gun about the same on my hip, so that's not an issue to me. They also have very similar rake, so again, that's not an issue for me.
I just wanted to give a plug to Kramer, especially since I don't see much on the forums about their products.
Kramer Handgun Leather - Revolver holsters, concealment holsters, paddle holster, 1911 holster, ankle holster
I just went over to the Kramer website very nice looking holsters, use it well.
I have always admired Kramer's stuff. I think they make one of the most attractive owb scabbards out there...and their pocket holsters are higly revered.
Friends don't let friends be MALL NINJAS.
I am just as nice as anyone lets me be and can be just as mean as anyone makes me. - Quoted from Terryger, New member to our forum.
Thier rigs are VERY durable too.
Oh and pics of the holster on would be appreciated, i have used the iwb#2 but not the #3 yet.
I have a Kramer #3, and once had two. I think I gave the one for a 1911 to a LEO who was a member of our church. The one I still have is for a Glock.
Personally I find the Kramer too bulky, and not comparable to my Sparks ExC. I also have a Kramer OWB for a 1911, and again do not find it comparable to several other of my OWBs, including Sparks, Brommeland, Del Fatti, or Nossar.
I understand that the Kramer paddle holster is the cream of the crop, but I would not buy another Kramer except the paddle.
Just a difference of opinion. The user is the final arbiter.

No one knows that delicious four pack WineSmith is secretly mild-mannered writer Clark Smith! Maybe it's the glasses?
When we heard Clark Smith was a writer, we groaned. "He'll want to do everything!" we said, "What if he only wants to write about elves in spaceships?" But it turns out that Clark Smith isn't the sort of guy who cares about spaceship elves. And we assume that means he knows a thing or two about wine.
Check this out, by way of example:
I DARE you to try my 2003 Chardonnay, to marvel at its straw-green tint and fresh lemon blossom nose, and wonder if it could possibly only this year have become drinkable. I DOUBLE DARE you then to appreciate the 2004 vintage (name changed to "Faux Chablis") and note that it is still too steely and unbloomed to enjoy as you will years hence. To facilitate this double dare, I have cut the $30 retail price exactly in half.
Succinct, right? And not a SINGLE crazy word like "Smalgframablan the Crusher" or "Ion Genesis Port Gemini." THAT is a fella who knows how to use the words that exist, and THAT is the greatest type of writing that exists. And everybody knows that he who masters words masters wine.
So take a chance and enjoy the two pack of 2003 Chardonnay and two pack of 2004 Faux Chablis that Clark Smith has brought us. Perhaps it'll be like guzzling a poem, or drinking a thrilling novel. Or maybe it'll just be really good wine.

Yeah, I know this thread is 4 years old, but I didn't want to create a new thread. I just want to know how is the review process, if the live preview is a "step" for the review process, etc. I know about review time these days. I was curious about what I have to write in the "message to the reviewer" section. Thanks.
Live preview is most probably the first step in the review process. You don't need to write anything to the "message to the reviewer" section.

Dr. Petra Bianchi Environment Protection Director within MEPAAugust 2011The Malta Environment and Planning Authority is constantly in the news. Whether it is buildings, waste collection, quarries, air, canopies, basements, protected areas and species, beached whales or dolphins, the restoration of old buildings, noise or odour nuisances, parking, dumping, diving, excavating, demolishing, filming, landscaping, camping or rambling – many people immediately first turn their gaze towards MEPA.
While the duties of the Authority are indeed wide-ranging, it is frequently assumed to be responsible when it is not - however this is not the moment to explore that particular concern.
The Environment Protection Directorate (EPD) is one of the Authority's four directorates, and tends to feature prominently in media reports and articles. However its role and main functions within the organisation are perhaps not sufficiently known to the public.
The EPD performs a multitude of duties. We regulate waste collection in line with EU legislation, issue environmental permits to industry, monitor air quality, regulate activities taking place in protected areas, collect and report environmental data to the EU, evaluate Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs) linked to proposals for development, and designate protected species and habitats in terrestrial and marine areas, amongst a myriad of other tasks.
The reform of the Authority is ongoing, and the EPD is part of this process. Among many other initiatives, industrial permitting is being strengthened and a new set of regulations will be open for public consultation shortly. A draft Plan for the collection of electronic and electrical equipment waste will also be made available for consultation in September.
The EIA regulations are being reviewed. Various measures put forward in the Air Quality Plan last year are being implemented. A national strategy to protect and conserve biodiversity will be published for consultation later this year. Funds have been obtained from the EU to draw up management plans for all the Natura 2000 sites in Malta and Gozo.
The Authority is also striving to make the environmental aspect of the planning process ever more central and transparent. For example, we have recently begun uploading the EPD reports on EIAs onto the website, to allow applicants, environmental NGOs and the general public to view these documents. The EPD reports were previously only summarised in the reports prepared by planning case officers towards the end of the application process.
This is a significant step towards making environmental assessment more central to the planning process, as can be clearly seen in the reactions to the EPD report on the Hondoq ir-Rummien application, with various statements being published about it in the press since its publication.
The EPD is intent on doing a good job in protecting the environment. There is a colossal amount of work to be done. However a reform of the magnitude that is being targeted needs a period of time to take shape.
The Authority also operates within a legal framework and is at times constrained to follow certain legally binding decisions taken in previous years, whether it likes them or not. This should not detract from all the good work that is being achieved for the benefit of environment. One of the steps of the ongoing reform is that outline permits were removed from the planning process earlier this year. Consequently, it will soon no longer be possible for a set of board members to constrain any subsequent board members, together with the environment and planning directorates, into reviewing a proposal within the restricting framework of an outline permit.
However until all existing outline permits and applications have been concluded one way or another, both the directorates and the board members of the Authority may continue to be challenged by difficult and at times controversial decisions related to outline permits. Yet this should not be allowed to overshadow or discourage the positive steps that are now being taken to move ahead.
In many ways, some of them obvious and others perhaps less visible but equally significant, the Authority has embarked on a new direction. I have no doubt that this will become increasingly clear as we move ahead over the coming year.
The reform will undoubtedly continue to call out for improvements, together with fine-tuning as new measures are introduced, but overall the direction has been firmly set to raise the protection of the environment high on the Authority's agenda.

science-VERY URGENT
posted by jon on .
I think it's A or C, but I need to know because it's due in an hour. Please help thank you, it's my last question on the homework.
A flower is red, has a long tube formed by fusion of petals, has nectar at the bottom of the tube, has no landing platform, and opens during the day. It has probably become adapted to mate with the assistance of
A) mice.
B) bees.
C) hummingbirds.
D) bats.
Hummingbirds. They have a huge beak thing to poke down the long tube. And they love red.
Mice come out at night
Bees have to land
So is it Hummingbirds? my friend said B but got it wrong.
Long tube? Depends on how long. very long, probably a moth. shorter long, hummingbird.
k thank you I actually only have 1 more sorry, Which of the following is an example of reproductive isolation? I'm almost certain that it's C, if not B. Thank you so much i promise this is my last 1.
A) Male deer with large branching antlers are more likely to mate.
B) A blue lizard washes away from a population of mostly green lizards during a hurricane and ends up on an island containing no other lizards to mate with.
C) One population of frogs mates in the deep water of a pond and another population of frogs mates on the shore of the same pond.
D) One individual from a population of fruit flies from an apple orchard is blown by heavy winds into another orchard where it mates with a different population of fruit flies.
Yeah hummingbirds is the answer
Thank you so much, is the other one I just posted answer C? Sorry I'm a little frantic these two were the ones that tricked me up and they are due very soon.
I would say C. No promises though. But go with c
thank you so much it was C i got 100 on it :) now i am not stressed about it thank you!!!
No, don't pick b because it's an isolating situation.

Tbh i thought it was a pretty easy exam, and for once i understood what all the comprehensions were and could do all the questions, the listwening was much better than mocks and letter was pretty good
I don't do Spanish or anything but I don't understand why people feel the need to dissect the exam and ask what everyone else got. It's over and done with now and you need to either move onto your next exam or, if you're finished, just enjoy the fact that you're on your holidays and finished the JC for good.
You can ask me questions about the listening and ill tell you what answer I got.
What was the first answer for the directions - listening
i cant really remember that one as it was a pretty long answer
ec2406 you have no right to tell people that. Like I agree with your opinion on saying that the exam is over, you should be enjoying your Summer but at the end of the day, if the student wants to ask others about answers or thoughts on the exam, they have the full right to do so.
@SryanBruen actually yes I do have the right to tell people that they shouldn't be dissecting exams. Unlike the LC, what you get in the JC makes no difference to your life whatsoever, so you shouldn't need to be looking for answers to a paper you'll never need again in your life (unlike the mocks). There's nothing wrong, however, with only discussing thoughts on exams because that's their own choice but people posting like a whole threads containing the answers they got isn't doing anybody any favours. Like don't get me wrong, it's a free world at the end of the day and everyone can post what they want, but looking for answers that will be of absolutely no benefit to you in the future is pointless.
'Em no you don't. So what if it's not the LC? If they want to do pointless things, let them do pointless things.
Em yes I do have the right to advice people. And in LC borderlining an A/B could mean the difference between getting into college, whereas in JC it would mean absolutely nothing. And I'm pretty sure I said that I'm not stopping anybody (obviously) from doing pointless things. But can you give me one benefit/good reason why people in JC should post answers up? Stressing people out over an exam that's over and irrelevant doesn't seem like a good reason.
ec2406 its their own choice to give answer. I dont see why it is bothering you. Just focus on your own leaving cert things instead of writing paragraphs in a junior cert thread
Thank you ^
I said (a) Went different places like coruna and i think it said something like going to the post office
(b) They are promoting their movie
(c) I cant really remember this one but it involves doing something on the internet
Not sure if these are right but it is what I said
travel agents not post office
@ug_roland2504 actually, I just finished my JC today, so don't tell me what threads I can post on thanks.
Anyway, I'm not gonna tell people what to post, but as someone who's just finished the JC it's quite frustrating to have people making a huge deal out of the exams and posting answers that just stress you out if anything. Does anyone actually have a good reason/need for posting answers?
Yeah see how well we did (early) (if we can remember our answers) - for impatient people.
They don't release the marking schemes until the results so anyone's definition of a right/wrong answer could be different than that shown in the marking scheme. Plus how could a JC exam matter that much to anyone? I mean I'm extremely impatient too but I mean it's the holidays now and results will be out when we're back to school.
Whatever, I'm not going to argue with people who take the JC so seriously they look for answers after the exams.
ye dont argue, cheers. Nobody else is complaining. i still dont understand why you care about sharing answers. Be like me and dont look at the discussions if it frustrates you
ec2406 your profile has leaving cert subjects so why are u surprised that i thought u were doing the leaving cert
@ug_roland2504 ^^^why are you telling me to not argue when you're the one being provocative and when I'm saying I just want to leave? I just changed my subjects on here to LC today because I felt like it- I guess it's kind of metaphorical in the sense that I can actually move on, unlike people here with the JC and you with the conversation.
Anyway, sorry if I came across as harsh- I'm just stating the facts about how dissecting exams doesn't do anybody here any favours. Slán
Yeah you came across as harsh in my eyes but now I see that you're just trying to advise which is fine. Slán

"Millie Bush is the best dog park I've ever visited. It has all the necessary "stuff;" that is, it's securely double-gated, has a separate area for dogs who weigh <20 lbs., plentiful garbage cans and waste-disposal bags, &c. Millie Bush also has three ponds (two in the big-dog area and one for the little guys), "fire hydrants" a-plenty, and really nice washing stations if you want to give your pup a bath before heading home. It's wonderful to see water-oriented dogs splashing in the pools after their toys (or just because.) Since even the small dogs get a pond I've even seen tiny toy poodles getting in on the action, which is just delightful. There are also benches for the humans and a nice covered area for those hot, bright Houston days. It can get pretty muddy at Millie when it's been raining hard but that's never been a deterrant for us. (The website says: "Millie Bush Bark Park is on Federal land used as a reservoir which is intended to hold large amounts of flood water when needed. Lucky for us, it doesn't flood often to this extent, however, when it does the park may be flooded for 2 to 3 weeks.") What I love best about Millie is the size (there's enough room to run) and the variety of dogs and people who are always there. I've had some great conversations and seen examples of breeds I'd only read about before. (I've also met some charming mutts. Like I said, great variety.) The location is beautiful and I wouldn't want it anywhere else but it is pretty far away from everything. Totally worth it, though."
great place to play!
I love coming to this park! Plenty of room to run and 2 different pools for me to swim in. I have made many friends here and cant wait to go again. I wish there was a place for my daddy to go to the bathroom sometimes I see him doing the potty dance and I know it means we have to go. Other than that you couldnt ask for more!

Millie Bush Bark Park
This place was the first BIG dog park of its kind in Houston and it is the bomb. We love it. I am let off their leash at the gate and I go straight for the pond, then a hearty game of "chase me, chase me" and then about an hour of playing fetch in the water. A weekend ritual! They do need to but a starbucks next door though...and some human bathrooms!
