The Presidential Elections are getting into high gear. It is normal in our Nation that every four years one side tells us how well we are doing and the other side tells us how poorly we are doing. That has become the American way. Regardless of which side is in Office at a given time, the other always says the opposite. Our job, as voters, is to figure out which side is closer to the truth?..If that is possible. News coverage now is so swift and rapid, and you can bet there is always a small army of news analysts and experts ready to dissect whatever just came out of any candidate?s mouth within three seconds of the words being spoken. It is just the world that we live in today, I suppose. Mitt at present is taking it on the chin because of remarks captured on a hidden camera?.And Barack is under fire because our U.S. Ambassador and aides in Libya were killed and we didn?t know in advance that it was going to happen.
To complicate the matter further, demonstrations and threatening attacks have been suddenly made in multiple countries in the Mideast, mostly aimed at our Embassies. Of course, I do believe these ?events? have been orchestrated to some degree by our old friends in Al Qaeda. What outwardly appears to us as ?spontaneous? flare-ups, were probably having plans laid a year before for the actions to occur when opportunity presented itself. And now, with the release of some fourth rate movie made in our country, unknown to nearly anyone, we find ourselves suddenly staring that ?opportunity? in the face?.. embroiled in an extension of the multi-Nation politics of the Arab World. Foreign Embassies are an extension of the country they represent and are viewed in that manner by all foreign countries under International Law. Through the years our nation has pumped millions of dollars into these countries through our Embassies, but in truth, the monies that we contributed were probably siphoned off before much of it got into the hands of those we had hoped to help, but went instead into building up local palaces and playgrounds for those in power?..or directly into Swiss bank accounts under the ownership of some nation?s ?leader?. After a half century of sending money, I believe we did it wrong?..We should have been sending foodstuffs, schoolbooks and means for them to eke out and improve their living scale and situation in life. Probably, we just sent money because it was easier to transfer?.That is the sad aspect of the whole deal. Most of those folks that we were trying to help didn?t need money??Their most basic need was something to EAT! I think we have forgotten and overlooked that one, simple aspect. There is one common denominator for relief of hunger and that is namely FOOD. As I recall, fifty years or more ago, I believe we did start off sending food, shovels, hoes and seeds through the CARE program, but somehow the radish seed, wheat and goose-necked hoes turned into money just sent direct.
Butler VFD and Oakwood VFD to fire in field and trees, FCR-301. Wortham VFD to S. 1st, husband fell, needs assistance getting up. Dep. Harrison deals with mysterious event on FCR-1171?..a hand just came through the window screen and stole one cell phone and a pack of cigarettes. Man calls from Mockingbird, wife and dog went out for a walk?.both now missing. Dep. Jones and Game Warden Hernandez to FCR-1040 on report caller?s brother just drove by and fired a gun.
Dep. Jones to FCR-240, 17 year old from Arlington just abandoned there afoot, scared to death, about dark, scared to death, carried to Sheriff?s Office then Bus station. THDEMS to FCR-867, seizure problems. Customer causing problems at Texas Burger, FPD advised. WPD Crowley working on recovery of a stolen saddle. Fairfield VFD and Deputy to fire problem on FM-488, one to put it out, the other to explain the dangers of setting. Deputy Howerton to report of missing cows, FCR-200, later found.
Tragedy for family on FCR-1267, small baby died in sleep, possibly SIDS, autopsy ordered by JP. TPD Noll to N. 9th, woman locked man out of house. Deputy Shaw to snake problems on FCR-1091, but neighbor took care of first. TPWD Mark Kleinert jails driver, DL Suspended, FM-2570. DPS Purnell, FEMS and Dew VFD to accident, Mile 185. TPD Mike Noll to theft of copper wire, Hwy-179. DPS Purnell jails man, US-84, Controlled Substance, DL invalid.
Deputy Robert Elom to FCR-1151, cow out, put up. FEMS to Hall Street, Lady fell, injured. Two exes having troubles on 5th in Wortham, WPD Crowley to same. Donie VFD to fire, Hwy-164. Lady turns self in at Jail for Court Ordered Time to be served, then finds also has two Navarro County Warrants, so her stay will be divided, some here, some to the north, vacation time extended unexpectedly. Fire alarm going off at residence near Dew?..Nope, no fire, just fumigating.
Come on Rain?..Head our way! Pay us a visit. Please.
Until Next Week?..RALPH BILLINGS

It seems B.o.B isn't one to suffer foolishness. Earlier today, the Atlanta MC released "No Future," as a response to one of Tyler, The Creator's lines in his song "Yonkers": "What you think of Hayley Williams?/ F--- her, Wolf Haley robbing 'em. I'll crash that f---ing airplane that that f----t n---a B.o.B is in/ And stab Bruno Mars in his goddamn esophagus."
B.o.B stepped away from his typical poppier fare to take aim at the young upstart with a few choice bars:
Mmm, hey, I eat it like dinner/
You see this s--t I gotta deal with from these beginners?/
I ain't circusing around with these clown a-- n----s/
You snappin' at the heels of a world class sprinter…
I eat bars, eat beasts for my appetite/
You wouldn't know about that, you never had a bite/
What I gotta do to get some solidarity?/
Apparently, I need to speak with some more clarity/
No luck needed, know no charity/
And I'mma grown man, don't need p---y to take care of me…
Keep f----n' with me and you ain't gon' have no future.
It looks as if it was enough to make the rookie back down—and even bow down—a little. Tyler, the Creator responded via Twitter: "Whoa. I Don't Think The 'No Future' Song Is Even A Diss. But, Ive Never Heard Him Spit Like That. Took Me By Surprise, Cus Its Tight"

City Saving On Street-Sealing Projects
POCATELLO, Idaho - Construction season is on its way, and the city of Pocatello is preparing.
This year, the city's roads will be less torn up, and Street Operations will be saving some money, but that's not without some adjustments.
Drivers aren't the only ones groaning at high gas prices. Oil is a major ingredient in some of the products used by Street Operations.
"We've experienced about a 10 percent increase on some of our products, not all of our products," said Streets Superintendent Randy Ghezzi.
Ghezzi asked the Pocatello City Council for $47,000 for fog seal materials, and the price is up ten percent from last year.
While that price pinch is painful, there is good news, too. Street Operations is coming to the council for cost approval early this year, because Ghezzi is locking down some deals. Pocatello is piggybacking on Bingham County's 2011 bid for asphalt and another bid for slurry seal.
"The piggyback bid is when a company will honor their price from the previous year. It's very positive. Those are the prices that are locked in and remain constant, so that was a big savings for the city," Ghezzi said.
It'll end up costing just more than $500,000, and Ghezzi said, if the city hadn't gotten this deal, the price would have definitely gone up.
"Yes, they've seen a significant rise, in order of 25 to 30 percent in some cases," Ghezzi said.
The city has a $900,000 budget for the entire season and will be treating 85 streets for a total of 22.5 center lane miles. Ghezzi's glad he's beating the price hike.
"It helps everybody, gives everybody a great deal," he said.
Another silver lining: Pocatello Engineer Deirdre Castillo said there are no major construction projects slated for the city this season. All of her department's big projects are just in the planning stages at this point, she said.
Check out where city crews will be working on the Street Operations' website and plan a headache-free commute.

Avril Lavigne says planning her upcoming nuptials to Nickelback's Chad Kroeger is a full-time job. While the 28-year-old singer-songwriter has kept most of the specifics under wraps, she did tell E! talk show host Chelsea Handler that the big day will have an "edgy" style. We predict a black and white scheme with a fun, slightly rebellious, rocker feel.

It needs to be easy to maintain with a basic user interface to add a caption, short pre-text, link and of course the image making all of these options option-able except of course the image. The link would need an option to open in same window or new window when clicked. Just like the demo it will be 5 images Here is an example/idea of how I would like the 'admin' interface for the accordion slider to look; http://xenforo.com/community/threads/slider-banner-manager.17398/ I understand there may be some issues with images and the sizes etc... this will need to be discussed between me and the person willing to take on the job as im not sure how to handle this yet.

Taking GPS on airplane especially after today's events
Posted 10 August 2006 - 05:39 PM
Maybe it's a little early to be asking this question, but as I will be flying from Canada to the US next week, I am wondering what the status is regarding taking a GPS as carry-on luggage. Has anyone here traveled today by any chance? Are GPSs now viewed as items that should not be carried on board? (And how would you insure it if you had to put it in chacked luggage? I couldn't find anything on nwa.com). I so want to take my new Garmin 60CS with me when I travel, but don'twant to risk losing it.
Posted 10 August 2006 - 05:41 PM
Different airlines have different policies about if you can use them during the flight, however.
Posted 10 August 2006 - 06:41 PM
So if it reached that level, I suppose you could take the GPS, but you'd have to pack the batteries in your checked luggage.

When you get to the airport, ask the ticket agent or the TSA representative when you check you bags. That way, if you can't take it on the plane you can slide it into your checked luggage and won't have to deal with any drama when you go through security.

They didn't actually say they were prohibiting them in carry ons thouugh. Perhaps it was an attempt to speed up the very long lines they were experiecning at DIA, and just remove anything that might be questionable at all.

Just what is their definition of an electrical device? The same article continues on to say that "laptops and cellphones are still permitted".
I don't care if they want to be strict and get everything into checked luggage, but geez, can't they at least post thorough lists of what can and can't go into carry-ons? With all this in mind, though, I'll try to pack so that I could get all my electronics into my luggage, and only take disposable batteries onboard in case they want to take those. That also means I better check two bags because I'm not taking the risk of losing my laptop, GPS, digital camera, etc., all at once (for the last 6 times that I actually checked luggage, it was lost 4 times).
Getting a bit more back on topic, I just received my GPS a couple of weeks ago, but have been working so much and taking exams that I haven't had much of a chance to use it, so I was banking on going for some foreign caches
. A plane would sound great for that too.

It is OK to fly, as long as you drain all your bodily fluids into a TSA approved container after the body cavity inspection, but prior to boarding the aircraft.
Seriously, almost all electronic devices can be used to trigger an explosion. Watches (even old mechanical windup alarm clocks), cellular telephones, weather widgets with barometers, laptops, PDAs, and certainly GPSrs, could all be readily used by someone with only mild skills in electronics to initiate a device.

I get (kinda) that they won't let you take a liquid through security. What I don't understand is that after you go through security, you can buy a soda, but not take it onboard the aircraft. I naturally assumed that the sodas that are being sold on the concourse had been checked for explosives, but I guess not.
Posted 14 August 2006 - 07:48 AM
Media - Questionable
Here is info directly from the TSA site. FAQS
BTW - I used my GPS on a flight in May and freaked out the flight attendant. I was holding it near the window and telling my wife the speed and altitude. The attendant over heard me and in a very nervous voice asked if I was "tracking" the plane. I explained what I was doing and gave him a pamphlet on geo-caching (always carry one). He seemed to calm down.

Why can't you take a soda on board? Because you might be cahoots with someone who has a roll of Mentos in their pocket.

Perhaps, as a flying Brit, I should clarify the current situation for British flights.
As of today, one single small bag is permitted as carryon. The dimensions are very strictly limited to maxima of 45cm wide x 35cm long x 16cm deep (17.7" wide × 13.7" long × 6.2" deep), including wheels, handles, side pockets - equivalent to a small laptop bag.
No fluids are allowed in carryon baggage.
Small electronic devices, including GPSrs are now allowed, but as before you should always ask the cabin crew before switching one on aboard the aircraft. Policy regarding GPSrs varies between airlines and sometimes within airlines, so always check with a flight attendant on your particular flight before even removing the thing from your bag.
The really important precaution to take at the moment is to expect the British Airports Authority to lose your hold baggage. Don't even expect them to forward your bags within several days. I know, I'm still waiting for bags lost last Friday morning by the chumps at Gatwick.
Posted 18 August 2006 - 08:42 AM
The Canadian Air Transport Security Authority (CATSA), has an updated list of permitted and prohibited items. About 2/3 down the page, personal electronic devices and batteries for them are listed as permitted on carry-on.
Any more Canadian travelers with GPSrs here?

I know Fort Knox can be unlocked from the inside, which means it can be unlocked from there also. they also have swing in doors and swing out doors. I happen to be looking into this right now.
I think most good makers will include that option in case someone gets locked in. Most likely its a standard thing.

A pico projector permits perpetual peering at a plethora of pleasurable programs. The performance of these personal projectors is particularly pleasing, so pragmatic people plan on procuring a pico posthaste. Perhaps the paucity of these projectors is palpable, but they're purchasable for a pittance.

these seem expensive for such a low lumen output.

Their portability are worth some of that cost though. These don't replace a boardroom projector, but work in small venues where you have control over reducing the ambient light. If you have a room with large windows letting in a lot of light, these pico projectors don't perform that well. I've seen 400 lumen ones and they do ok. But any of these would be nice in a room you can darken. I sure like the small form factor as I travel a good bit with a projector.
Remember that not everybody uses projectors for meeting rooms. I have a few pico projectors for Halloween effects, and the work great.
The 450 Lumen one AC only specs make no mention of any kind of power.


text: BOSTON, June 5, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- John Hancock has implemented new breakpoints for three mutual funds and lower expense caps for two funds, across a range of asset classes. Three of the funds implemented new breakpoint schedules effective June 1, 2013, while two funds reduced expenses last year. Additional details are available in the funds' prospectuses. "We are a steward of our shareholders' capital and we put our investors' interests first. With these new fee schedules and others in the works over the near term, John Hancock is delivering on our commitment to driving higher investment value for our shareholders," said Andrew G. Arnott, President & CEO of John Hancock Funds. New fee schedules became effective June 1, 2013 for John Hancock Classic Value Fund (Class A: PZFVX), John Hancock U.S. Global Leaders Growth Fund (Class A: USGLX), and John Hancock Alternative Asset Allocation Fund (Class A: JAAAX). John Hancock Classic Value Fund reduced its advisory fee rate by four basis points across all breakpoints, which investors will realize immediately. John Hancock U.S. Global Leaders Growth Fund has added two new breakpoints to the advisory fee schedule. John Hancock Alternative Asset Allocation Fund, which previously did not offer breakpoints on the advisory fee schedule, also implemented two new breakpoints. For these latter two funds, investors will realize an expense reduction from the new breakpoints as fund assets increase. Previously, in 2012, John Hancock Funds implemented a lower expense cap on John Hancock Core High Yield Fund (Class A: JYIAX), which resulted in a total expense reduction of six basis points. John Hancock Government Income Fund (Class A: JHGIX) also instituted a lower expense cap in 2012, reducing advisory fees by eight basis points.

Defending world champion Argentina beat the United States, 1-0, in a tuneup game for the Under-20 World Cup on Tuesday night at PAETEC Park in Rochester, N.Y.
Diego Braghieri scored on a header off an Alejandro Gomez free kick for the game's only goal in the 55th minute.
The USA created numerous scoring opportunities, outshooting Argentina, 15-8, but goalkeeper Emiliano Centeno was outstanding for Argentina. Centeno's best save was on a point-blank shot by Jozy Altidore only four minutes after Braghieri's goal.
"In the end, we didn't convert our chances and they converted the one they had," said U.S. under-20 coach Thomas Rongen. "I can't be prouder of the mentality of the team, though. We put the reigning world champions on their heels. It's a great lesson to be learned at this point, that the little things make a difference. I'm not happy about the loss, don't get me wrong, but at the same time there are a lot of building blocks and positive things we can work on."
Rongen fielded what should be virtually his first team at this summer's Under-20 World Cup in Canada. Missing against Argentina were European-based players Michael Bradley (Heerenveen) and Gabriel Ferrari (Sampdoria).
Argentina will travel to Canada as one of the favorites. All but one of its U-20 stars will play in Canada. Lionel Messi, star of Argentina's 2005 team, will skip this year's tournament for the Copa America. U-20 coach Hugo Tocalli will take Sergio Aguero (Atletico Madrid), French-born Gonzalo Higuain (Real Madrid) and 2007 Libertadores Cup standout Mauro Zarate (Velez Sarsfield) to Canada. They all were unavailable for the game in Rochester.
May 15 in Rochester, N.Y.
USA 0 Argentina 1. Goal: Braghieri 55.
USA -- Seitz, Igwe, Sturgis, Valentin (Anibaba, 76), Ward, Adu, Szetela, Arguez (Lopez, 46), Rogers (Zizzo, 62), Altidore, Smith.
Argentina -- Centeno, Mercado, Cardozo, Villafane, Sanchez, Braghieri (Sotomayor, 88), Vangioni (Dul, 64), Meza, Coria (Scoppa, 85), Malano (Caraglio, 69), Gomez (Chavez, 79).

Driving course geared for survival
MOSSVILLE, Ill. — Driving often poses all kinds of unexpected challenges — icy roads, sharp turns, a deer running out in front of your car.
That's why Tire Rack Street Survival Teen Driving School was conceived: to help young motorists meet and conquer those challenges before those challenges conquer them.
But simulating those situations even in a controlled environment can leave one in a cold sweat, with a beating heart, and a newfound sense of control. On May 5, a vast parking lot at Caterpillar Inc. in Mossville was converted into an obstacle course mapped out using neon cones. The teen drivers navigate the course in their own cars, with an instructor in the passenger seat.
"We give the kids the opportunity to push the car beyond its limits and teach them how to get it back into control, so that this is the first time they may experience some of these maneuvers, but we want it to be here in a controlled area with an instructor versus out on a highway trying to avoid an accident," said instructor Jim Roal, a member of the Porsche Club, and its former regional vice president.
Students are taught how to effectively maneuver their vehicle through often dangerous and tricky situations — the air ringing with screeching tires.
Street Survival is in its fourth year in central Illinois. With 93 schools in more than 60 locations last year, it was formed in 2002 by the BMW Car Club of America Foundation, with corporate sponsors, The Tire Rack and BMW of North America.
"In driver's ed, they learn laws, they learn rules of the road," Roal said.
"They learn not to do these sorts of things. We take them through what the car feels like when these things happen and how to get it back in control."
That involves driving to a reasonably fast speed before being told to change lanes with a split second of reaction time.
"This simulates driving in congested traffic on the freeway and finding an obstacle in front of you like a stalled car or a ladder or other things that might fall in front of your car," Roal said. "I teach you how the car feels when you have to make that split-second decision and how to get the car into control and get it safely into the other lane."
The course also involves accelerating to a reasonably fast speed before slamming down on the brake in a sharp turn, which requires a clever use of braking and steering so as to swing through the turn. An obstacle that required driving fast in a tight circular path slick with soap suds and water was an exercise that taught effective turning under less-than-optimal conditions.
"You feel like you're gonna like spin out or something, but really if you just keep a good speed and stay on the brake then you're fine," said Breck Gamble, 15.
She said she approached the course with much trepidation. However, the activity was just as much about conquering one's fears as it was safe driving.
"I feel like I conquered a lot of what I didn't think I could do," Gamble said.

Prévert is one of the famous French poet of last century. An exhibit located at the Hotel de Ville (until February) currently depicts his life and how he participated to artistic movements such as Surrealism. He was also very involved with photographers, participating in the texts of several of their books. This picture could be a small tribute to him, somewhere between surrealism and his famous play of words. (click to enlarge)

The Boatman (2015)
Release: October 16, 2015
Megashare The Boatman (2015)
Miguel is the perfect coyote: dedicated, single-minded, his record unblemished. His home is the winding path of the migrant: the back alley gravel, the crumbled pavement, and last - the river. Despite this perfect record, Miguel is no stranger to death. His nickname, \"El Maldito\" hints of what we will soon see for ourselves, for Miguel seems haunted by the dead and dying. He comes upon them on desert roads; he hears their confessions, and takes part in their dying wishes. Miguel\'s house, much like the man himself, stands alone; yellowed photographs breathe the sigh of a life given over to a singular purpose - crossing his people to a new life. There are signs that this quiet struggle is soon to break. When a terrible wreck draws Miguel to the roadside, the order of his life comes to ruin, for Elena, the wreck\'s lone survivor, recognizes Miguel.

About Schiller University
Our Founder
Dr. Walter W. Leibrecht was born on September 3rd, 1927 in Karlsruhe, Germany. He enrolled in 1945 at the university of Erlangen-Nuremberg and later continued at the University of Heidelberg. During his studies he was selected as one of the first German students for a study abroad term after the war, at first at the University of Zurich, Switzerland and later at the University of Chicago.
Later, during his time as a professor and student advisor at Columbia, Harvard, Northwestern and Chicago Walter Leibrecht was often approached by young Americans who inquired about study abroad possibilities in his native country of Germany.
In 1964 he established the first campus of Schiller College at the medieval castle of Ingersheim, near Stuttgart in Southern Germany and named it after the famous 18th century German poet who also is considered as a national figurehead for ideas of liberty and tolerance among nations. The college was very successful – soon several dozen, then up to three and four hundred colleges and universities all over the United States chose Schiller as their study abroad venue in Germany.
A second and third campus was opened in Germany and two years later Dr. Leibrecht's vision of an international university grew beyond the borders of Germany, when a study center was opened in Paris, France, soon to be followed by campuses in Madrid, Spain and London, England.
Schiller International University today, continues to propose education as a force to unite people, nations and cultures to encourage active development of international understanding. Students gain the invaluable experience of studying and interacting with people from different national and cultural backgrounds and forming lifelong relationships. Understanding other economies, cultures and political systems is critical in today's global economy.
Schiller International University transforms students while preparing them to develop into global citizens of the world who can meet the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. Here each student counts, each student is taken seriously, and faculty and staff members support our students. Close attention is paid to each individual student and, more importantly, there is a holistic approach where equal emphasis is placed on professionalism and on the education as a whole for the individual. Students will develop the ability to think creatively and critically, and to develop their cross-cultural communication skills. Personal initiative is encouraged throughout their program of study.

With shares of Citigroup (NYSE:C) trading around $47, is C an OUTPERFORM, WAIT AND SEE, or STAY AWAY? Let's analyze the stock with the relevant sections of our CHEAT SHEET investing framework:
T = Trends for a Stock's Movement
Citigroup is a global diversified financial services holding company providing consumers, corporations, governments, and institutions with a broad range of financial products and services. It operates in two segments: Citicorp and Citi Holdings. The company's products and services are consumer banking and credit, corporate and investment banking, securities brokerage, wealth management, and transaction services to consumers, corporations, governments, and institutions worldwide.
Citigroup has been asked by the U.S. Department of Justice to pay more than $10 billion to settle a probe into the bank's sales of mortgage securities before the financial crisis, Bloomberg News reported on Friday. The report, which cited a person familiar with the investigation, said that talks broke off between the bank and prosecutors on June 9. Citigroup shares were down 1.7 percent for the day in New York trading following the report. A Citigroup spokesman declined to comment. Reuters reported in December that the Justice Department was preparing a civil fraud lawsuit against the bank that alleged investors lost tens of billions of dollars on the securities at issue.
T = Technicals on the Stock Chart are Weak
Citigroup stock has struggled to make significant progress over the past several quarters. The stock is currently pulling back and may need time to consolidate before heading higher. Analyzing the price trend and its strength can be done using key simple moving averages. What are the key moving averages? The 50-day (pink), 100-day (blue), and 200-day (yellow) simple moving averages. As seen in the daily price chart below, Citigroup is trading between its rising key averages which signal neutral price action in the near-term.
Taking a look at the implied volatility (red) and implied volatility skew levels of Citigroup options may help determine if investors are bullish, neutral, or bearish.
Implied Volatility (IV)
30-Day IV Percentile
90-Day IV Percentile
|Citigroup options
What does this mean? This means that investors or traders are buying a very significant amount of call and put options contracts, as compared to the last 30 and 90 trading days.
Put IV Skew
Call IV Skew
|July Options
|August Options
As of today, there is an average demand from call and put buyer or sellers, all neutral over the next two months. To summarize, investors are buying a very significant amount of call and put option contracts and are leaning neutral over the next two months.
On the next page, let's take a look at the earnings and revenue growth rates and the conclusion.

President Obama spoke before a group of fat cats—or rather, "titans of industry," as he called them—from Wall Street on Thursday at Cooper Union in New York City, the same site where he'd delivered his pre-bailout, pre-presidential speech on the economy two years ago, in an attempt to recruit them to support his cause of reforming the financial industry. Good luck with that one, Mr. President. —KA
Read the text of Obama's speech here.
USA Today:
"I'm sure that some of these lobbyists work for you and they're doing what they are being paid to do," Obama told invited guests—"titans of industry," he called them—during a speech at Cooper Union in New York City.
Even so, Obama argued that new regulations on the financial industry would help businesses, customers, and the U.S. economy as a whole. "We need to enact a set of updated, common-sense rules to ensure accountability on Wall Street and to protect consumers in our financial system," he said.

The Roma minority in east Europe invariably is the object of hate attacks because they are viewed as "different" and inferior. A Czech Republic political party, the right wing Workers' Party, will soon be banned for its vicious brutality towards Romas. The Workers' Party has witnessed a growth in membership from 9,000 in 2004 to 29,000 in 2008. Human rights activists are concerned as the economic crisis deepens, people will seek a scapegoat and the most convenient are Romas. There are already signs some political leaders are shifting toward an anti-Roma stance in order to obtain votes.
The decision to ban a political party raises many questions regarding the nature of a democracy. A true democracy distinguishes between actions of a political party and those of an individual. If a member of the Workers' Party uses force against a Roma there are laws which provide for his criminal prosecution. There is no need to make right wing neo-Nazis pose as being oppressed by society. Trust in the power of the judiciary to handle violence against Romas. Of course, this means the police have to investigate and prosecution to resut.

An International Driving Permit (IDP) is an internationally recognised permit which allows you to drive overseas. You can purchase an international driver's license from the NRMA by going to our international driving permits page
However, it's not a driving licence in its own right. You must also carry your current Australian driver's licence with you when you travel.
Even if you don't intend to drive when you travel overseas you should always carry an International Driving Permit.
- IDPs are officially sanctioned by the United Nations and accepted worldwide (in over 150 countries) as a recognisable form of identification;
- Your IDP carries your identification details in nine languages (English, Spanish, Japanese, Greek, German, Arabic, Russian, Chinese and French), in case you need to communicate with foreign authorities;
- In some countries you may be asked to surrender your passport under certain circumstances. An IDP provides an extra photo ID in nine languages which you can always carry with you;
- IDPs are a special permit for tourists, authorised by a United Nations Treaty for the purpose of allowing motorists to drive internationally without further tests or applications provided their domestic drivers licence is valid;
- An IDP is proof that you hold a valid drivers licence in your home country at the date of issue of the IDP and should be carried with your domestic drivers licence;
- A valid IDP permits you to drive in most foreign countries in case of an emergency under normal IDP conditions.
The authorization for the International Driver License has its basis in the United Nations conventions on Road Traffic and Safety held in 1923, 1943, 1949 and 1968, which established standards for the International Driving permit.
Your IDP is valid for twelve months or expires at the same time as your Australian driving licence, whichever comes first.
Internet IDP Warning
Counterfeit IDPs are being offered for sale on the Internet, usually at inflated prices. These forged IDPs are illegal and can get the holder into a great deal of difficulty with the traffic authorities in various countries. In Australia only the Australian Automobile Association, through the State and Territory Motoring Clubs, is authorised to issue IDPs.

Pretend there are no religions, no gods, and no laws that prevent you from killing. Would you behave any differently with regard to killing than you do now? Why or why not?
Let me just cut to the chase. There are a number of psychological exercises including and similar to the trolley problem.
Basically, these exercises examine the subject's intuitive ethical sense in a way that is not related to morality. They can be fiendishly complex. For example: a runaway train is headed down the track. You have control of a switch. Currently, the train is heading toward a mother pushing her infant child in a stroller. If you flip the switch, it will instead hit five single, adult men. Do you flip the switch? What if the train is originally headed for the five men? Do you flip the switch? What if they are convicted petty criminals? Convicted murders? What if it were one innocent man instead of five? An 85 year-old man, specifically. What if it's one innocent man on one side and two petty thieves on the other? How would you feel about someone else who chose to flip the switch, or not, in each situation? I think you'll find thinking about these questions that you have an inherent ethical sense unrelated to religion or morality. Pay attention to your reasons for your answer in each case.
My point is that there are no blanket statements like "this is what happens when you take God out of schools" because it's just not accurate. Would a more faith based upbringing benefit some? Sure. Would it help some stay a virtuous course? Sure. Is it a guarantee? Nope.
Not to mention that religion isn't actually a solution unless you can find a way to force people to believe something. If they don't want it on their own, it's pretty much out of contention as far as causality.
***On a side note, thank you moderators for letting this thread stray close to the line. Everyone's been respectful but I appreciate you folks letting this one hang around.
As to the second bolded part of your post, there really is no way to focus only on quantifiable things because many factors that influence a person to act violently are simply not quantifiable. However, that does not mean that these things have no influence for good or for ill. Therefore, since we cannot quantify everything, it makes sense to consider some things that may not be quantifiable but may still have an impact, such as religious and moral upbringing and the ability to freely exercise your beliefs without fear of Government restriction.
Having said that, I am not saying that religion is the only answer. Obviously it is not. But I believe it's a huge mistake to exclude it as part of an overall strategy, if you will, for dealing with the violence which has become so pervasive in our society.
WHile on this subject, am I the only person who is upset that Christmas is a Federal Holiday and other religious holidays such as Ramadan, Hannukah, Dasara, and the holy days of other religions are not? I am not a Christian and it is ridiculous that companies are forced to pay overtime or close or respect this holiday over others. I am sorry but I get riled up about it. Either we honor them all or we don't honor any of them.
As far as prayer in schools, the kids can do it on their own. We don't need an official moment of silence or moment of prayer. If the magic Skygod of some silly cult gets offended because I don't want a school sanctioned Bible or Torah study or moment for their invisible supreme being that is not my problem. I do not have a problem with kids or faculty praying, I have a problem with the school sanctioning it. They can do it on their break or lunch or whenever but not on my time. I pay for the schools with my taxes and I don't want to pay teachers to pray.
I've got no problem with God in schools or anywhere else for that matter. Just don't let it run around unsupervised.
The problem with the world is grown-ups behaving like unsupervised children.
If we know that one can follow a religion and still do evil things, then what will putting religion in schools do? Nothing. In the same way that a child growing up in a religious home can do evil, so can a child growing up in a school system that teaches religion. It is not a solution.

"somewhat user-hostile interface"??? In what respect?
Are you confusing the "interface", i.e., the front end -- with the vast
array of built-in functions available in the kernel?
Intelligent interaction with the front end is something I routinely
teach my undergraduates in an hour (along with lots of stuff about the
capabilities of the kernel).

A Very Weird Song About Adolf Hitler
World War II ended in Europe on May 7, 1945 with the formal acceptance by the Allies of Germany's surrender. This mysterious recording offers a satirical theory on the early childhood of one of its major players, Adolf Hitler.
This one-of-a-kind disc was recorded on August 23, 1940 in London, at the height of the Battle of Britain and just two weeks before the start of the terrible German blitz bombings on that city. Although satirical songs about Hitler were not uncommon even before the start of WWII, we know little about this recording and its performers, Inga Anderson and Harold Stead. Was she a Canadian comedienne? Who wrote the defiant piece? So far, these mysteries remain unsolved.

If that's the case, why wouldn't a dealer tell folks that they'll get a check for $5,000 in a few months time, and when they don't, just point out that it's not in the contract and they'll be covered legally? Wouldn't they sell a lot more cars? I mean - if you're going to lie, and can get away with it, why not make it a big one?
Personally - I've never had a dealer deliberately lie to me. They may be not providing all the information, be ignorant, or hold back their best offer, but that's not the same as lying. If you expect the dealer to disclose everything, doesn't it work both ways - the buyer should also disclose everything, like the highest price they are willing to pay, their best offer from another dealer etc.?
Putting myself in the dealer's shoes, the choices are lie, and potentially be caught out as lying, and have the customer walk (what customer wants to buy from a liar?). Or be vague, evasive and non-committal. I think the latter is probably better for THEM than the former. Not a real big incentive to lie. And heaven forbid they are actually fully open, gaining the trust and respect of the customer. Yes - we can all dream.
Take my post and replace "lie" with what you wrote. Semantics, in the end the consumer holds the bag.
And in terms of 'suing', the cost to prosecute a case will exceed the damages. Plus the document you sign will say something to the effect of "I am relying on no verbal assertions" and "only the written terms in this contract shall be binding".
Keep it as simple as possible...but no simpler.

Did you know.uk domain names are coming in 2014?
"Opt in scheme for equivalent .uk"
Owners of a Million or more .co.uk domains will not apply for new .uk, as they will not know about it
"Oldest registration gets first chance"

to name but a few.
New .uk domain will cost over 100% more than .co.uk and owner will still keep paying for the .co.uk renewals to protect website.
Confidence in trusted extensions like .co.uk, .org.uk, .sch.uk etc. will be eroded by claims .uk is more secure
Security nightmare with different owners of .co.uk and .uk: phishing attacks, misdirected email, scams, cyber-squatting and fraud.

Tennis overran into this 6 PM SportsCenter timeslot and honestly, it was a welcome overrun as the edition of SportsCenter was not worth watching. They plugged the NASCAR event on the channel after this, but I am not Lisa Niles so that does not really interest me.
You have to like how often this channel will air its signature program SportsCenter (and if that is not on then ESPNews most likely is) but that also leads to diluted quality from time to time, and more often than not recently it has been diluted quality on an hour to hour basis.

Tax attorneys understand the interplay of different tax laws and regulations, and in planning strategies to minimize people's tax liabilities. Many tax laws are written by lawyers for lawyers, and as such are very difficult to understand. There are also many different types of taxes and tax laws–for example, income taxes, corporate and business taxes, death taxes, property taxes, estate and gift taxes, sales taxes, and international taxes. Sometimes taxes are based on an inflated or incorrect value the government has placed on an entity or activity. Tax attorneys will help you challenge the value or the tax itself, and help you reduce your taxes through careful planning.

The USC Trojans had to wait two weeks to get back onto the field after their embarrassing upset loss to Boston College. They also had to wait a month to return to the Coliseum after opening up the season four weeks ago against Fresno State.
It's still too early in the season to know exactly what kind of team USC has. Are they the team that blew out Fresno State and shocked Stanford in Palo Alto, California, to open up the season or the team that was unable to run or stop the run against Boston College? It's hard to say, but USC's 35-10 win over Oregon State momentarily put USC back on track and made the Boston College fiasco look like an early-season aberration.
Passing attack
Cody Kessler was once again efficient for the Trojans. He completed 24 of 32 passes for 261 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions. In fact, Kessler has not thrown an interception this season. Kessler has thrown at least one touchdown in 15 of his past 18 games. He is already 10th on USC's career completions list with 333. Kessler is also completing 76.5 percent of his passes from inside the pocket this season, tied for fourth best by any Power Five quarterback with a minimum of 50 attempts.
Rushing attack
USC ran for 200 yards against Oregon State, bouncing back from their 20-yard performance against Boston College. Javorius Allen rushed for 115 yards and a touchdown, and Justin Davis rushed for 82 yards and a touchdown. Allen also had a team-high five receptions for 23 yards, and Davis had three catches for 30 yards and a touchdown.
In the trenches
Not only did USC rush for 200 yards, but they held Oregon State to 58 yards rushing and recorded two sacks. Kessler was given enough time, more often than not, as USC controlled the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball and dictated time of possession.
After a nightmarish game against Boston College, USC's defense responded with its best performance of the season. Oregon State had only 181 total yards, the fewest by a USC opponent since San Jose State's 121 in 2009. Oregon State quarterback Sean Mannion finished 15-for-32 for 123 yards, which was his lowest career output. Su'a Cravens had a first-quarter interception return for a touchdown, the first of his career, and Leon McQuay had an interception in the end zone. USC's secondary has not allowed a touchdown pass this season; no other secondary in college football can say that after the first four weeks of the season.
Special teams
Andre Heidari's lone field goal attempt from 36 yards was missed, but punter Kris Albarado had his best game, averaging over 40 yards per punt, including a 57-yard kick. USC didn't get much from the return game outside of a JuJu Smith 35-yard return. The Trojans allowed Ryan Murphy to return a first-quarter kick for a 97-yard touchdown to tie the game and gave up 170 yards on four kick returns.
Steve Sarkisian opened up the offense some after a lackluster first quarter, as USC scored 35 points, their most since the season opener against Fresno State. The offense tallied 461 yards and USC won the turnover battle 2-0 after entering the game eighth in the nation with a plus-1.7 turnover margin. USC's defense also shored up its problems from the Boston College game and shut down the Beavers, stifling Mannion, who passed for the fewest yards in his career.

Punctuated throughout with real-life stories from both Irish people and visitors to the 'Emerald Isle', it will show that although being Irish isn't necessarily a prerequisite for seeing angels, it can certainly act as a catalyst. Many Irish people have grown up with stories of guardian angels and protector saints like St Patrick, so their insights and stories provide the perfect launching point to help others connect with their own angels. Here are stories of miraculous healing from this mysterious and sacred land, which has historical associations with the divine. This book will encourage spiritual seekers of all ages to make a pilgrimage to Ireland or, if that isn't possible, to feed their souls with Celtic spirituality. × Added to Cart List Price $8.99 Your Cart ( items) Cart total Continue Shopping CHECKOUT NOW Choose a format: Paperback eBook Choose a format: eBook Paperback eBook Simon & Schuster UK | 288 pages | ISBN 9781849834841 | February 2012 Buy Amazon's Kindle Store Apple iBookstore Barnes & Noble Books-a-Million Google Play Kobo List Price $8.99 Browse Related Books Body, Mind & Spirit > General Buy now Amazon's Kindle Store Apple iBookstore Barnes & Noble Books-a-Million Google Play Kobo Get a FREE eBook when you join our mailing list.

Need advice for 4 year old curly girl
1 Attachment(s)
My daughter is 4 and I would love advice on her hair. I have no idea what type of hair she has (am thinking 2C or 3A), how to style and care for it, whether to cut it or not. I've attached a photo below. Her ringlets can be fairly tight and her hair is impacted by humidity. She does have a straighter section in the back, so I can't tell if she is losing the curl at all. Underneath that section it is still very curly. It has never been cut. Do you think by cutting it we will cause her to lose the curls? Would love any advice - we are trying to get a handle on styling with preschool starting!

I guess not, there is no such API for integrating WP and WHMCS. Though you can make a manual bridge between the both.
@SimpleSites4U Well, I am not sure what went wrong with jaguarPC service lately because I used there VPS once for like a month and received almost 99.9% uptime, but have recently saw some bad reviiews about them.
I have hopped from various VPS providors, some premium and some no so premium, in the mean time learned that there is no "QUICK SUPPORT" and no "100% UPTIME GUARANTEE" what so ever!
Also, owning a good VPS does not come cheap, so after much losses I had to resell my very own VPS to shared clients
hey thanks man!
Well I am not planning to sell this, it is just what I did in my break time
BTW , i will try to do some justice with the ending of the track.
Hey guys, Last week I took a break from regular coding/designing stuff and tried out my hand on FL studio … reviews anyone!?http://soundcloud.com/user492607/test1
Congrats bro!!
This website has many JS stuff which can be easily found on CodeCanyon or if you are looking for full website please check ThemeForest!
You cannot compare them! HTML is like the backbone for WP or for that matter any other CMS .
I felt that the navigation icons are too light and are not very prominently visible, I suppose there should be some contrasting colors for the menu icons.
also, I am using firefox on my desktop .. running on 1280×720, I am not able to see the footer copyright text, unless of course I reduce the page size even the scroll doesn't work (maybe due to some jQuery constrain set by you)
Thanks Kops for your helpful review!!
Yes, I am working on the padding (as said earlier the typography as well as the padding and margins ..)
I will remove "mark your web presence today" and increase the size of the content slider ..
BTW do you think I must reduce the logo size? i guess it is taking extra space .. what say?

Write. Revise. Repeat. One author's thoughts on writing for children.
Wednesday, February 17, 2010
Semester Two: Packet One. Done!
...until, TA-DA! My amazing advisor (at a lightspeed pace) sends back a complete and thorough set of comments about my entire packet of work. I love this aspect of the semester because I find out specifically what is working with my writing, and more importantly, what I need to learn more about--craft issues, suggested readings, revision tips, etc. It's like going to the candy store for writing-improvement.
This morning I fist-pumped and yelled, "YES!" when I read Laura's comment that I'd successfully used "objective correlative." (chuckle if you will, but this was new to me). I loved seeing her revision suggestions for my picture books--seeing how I can sculpt my stories into better pieces of art. I wrote an essay comparing dialogue in beginning readers and picture books; I knew, with her being an expert at this, that she'd have a lot to say on this subject. I definitely have a lot to think about on that topic and am looking forward to having a discussion with her about it.
Yes, packets are a stressful and joyful part of the Vermont College experience. To me, they're like a compass. They give direction and the hope that I'm heading the correct way.
Now, onto re-reading Laura's comments so they can sink in even more...

"Sculpt stories into better pieces of art," very intriguing. Will you share your info?

Hi Ann,
I see picture books as works of fine art; a combination of text and illustration that come togther harmoniously in one final piece. As I recently wrote in an essay, "As inhaling and exhaling gives life to all creatures, text and art breathe life into a picture book." As a writer, I want to "sculpt" my story into the best form it can be to allow an illustrator to bring his/her magic to it.

Hi Terry,
Laura Kvasnosky IS fabulous! I was lucky enough to be in a crit group with her in Seattle before I moved. She is amazing as a person and author-illustrator. I'm so glad you have her as your advisor.
Congrats on turning in your semester packet!

Hi, Terry,
I really appreciate that you're giving such an in-depth look into life as a VCFA student! I found your blog through the VCFA catalog. I'm about to apply to the MFA in writing for children and YA (though my focus is more YA). Thanks so much for your great blog!

when we first got engaged i blogged about French bridal designer Laure de Sagazan, and now we're getting married in less than 5 days – so i thought i'd show you their beautiful new collection. these are dreamy & timeless lace creations, don't ask me how much they cost, but if you are ever lucky enough to wear one you should probably hand it down to your daughters.
