The Secrets You Wrote On My Back - Poem by Geof Lusins
radiating towards us, orange waves of warmth
In a room no bigger than a car, just enough room for a bed
you whispered "one day" onto my back
Gently moving towards us, an invisible stream of cool
In a room no bigger than two cars, enough room for a bed, and a desk
you whispered "one day" onto my back
The innocence of an open window, choosing when to cool us down
In a room we decorated ourselves, evenly spaced picture frames
You whispered "one day" on my back
Consistently humming towards us, a frosty breath of ice
in a room no bigger than a house, plenty of furniture and pictures framed of "us"
you whispered "today" on my back
occasionally blowing towards me, oscillating in a corner
in a room with a single bed, clothes dead across on the floor
you don't whisper anything, you are, at best a reminder not to trust

Freudenberg town
Collecting and recycling waste efficiently.
The town of Freudenberg in Germany, a rural community, is responsible for the disposal of waste in their town. As part of a European tendering process, the town as the customer and bid tendering office in bid 1 awarded the contract for the collection of non-recyclable waste, biodegradable waste, bulky waste and used paper including recycling. This bid also included the container stocktaking and container updating service. Our scope of services in bid 2 was container supply and distribution.
Freudenberg town
Country: Germany
Region: North-Rhine Westfalia
Inhabitants 18,556
Web presence: www.freudenberg-stadt.de
Contact partner: Mr Stockhausen
The task
The container provision was defined in two service packages. Service package 1 includes the supply of approx. 20,000 containers made from plastic including a transponder. The container specifications were given in the sizes of 80 litres, 120 litres, 240 litres and 1100 litres, and in the following designs:
- Non-recyclable waste containers with anthracite coloured bodies and anthracite coloured or red lid
- Biodegradable waste containers with anthracite-coloured body and pale blue lid
- Used paper containers with anthracite-coloured body and sky blue lid
The container quality was defined by DIN EN 840 and the relevant RAL quality assurance mark RAL – GZ 951/1. The transponder to be installed in BDE format 134.2 kHz, "Read Only", permit the unique and forgery-proof identification of the containers.
Service package 2 necessitated the distribution of the containers and allocation to individual properties. In the preliminary stage, all households and business owners were informed about the new system in a letter. At the same time, a postcard campaign with a survey was conducted on the future container stocks and maintained with a software solution developed in-house and prepared for distribution.
Within the specified performance criteria, the town of Freudenberg was recommended to use containers made from 100% new material with the high quality standards conforming to RAL - GZ 951/1. We also suggested using the innovative container generation GMT eXtra with the new and easy-to-use lid system 'ergolid'. In addition to the standard embossed informations, the containers were hot-embossed with a unique design on the body (see photo) in the form of the town crest for the town of Freudenberg.
The implementation was completed in three phases and these followed on directly from one another. The publicity work began 5 months before the distribution date with a survey of the inhabitants and evaluation of the data inventory. The containers were produced in parallel with the distribution, meaning that the allocation was completed within the timeframe set by the customer of 6 weeks.
Awarding the contract for the "removal" of waste is a basic need of inhabitants and communities. In Freudenberg a way was also sought for the separate collection of the waste and recyclable materials efficiently and to recycle the relevant materials. The "population equivalent benchmark" previously used was replaced by a "container benchmark". In addition to increased fairness of fees, the administrative burden in the fees assessment was reduced considerably. With the choice of container size, the inhabitants now have the option to affect their waste costs significantly.

That Red Lanterns staff handle such adulation with skill and aplomb is a major achievement, as is the kitchens loyal adherence to the traditions of Vietnamese cuisine and its resistance to too many mod-Asian detours. Owner/chef Luke Nguyens family has a long-standing place on the Cabramatta eating scene. This vermilion-and-black-toned inner-city version is squeezed into every available nook and cranny front, back and verandah of a slimline Crown Street terrace. Among the classics are irresistible goi cuon and bi cuon (ricepaper rolls), the Nguyen clans gorgeous cari de (goat curry), wrap-your-owns such as chao tom (prawn paste on sugar cane) or canh chua sweet white fish chunks in a pineapple-tangy fish broth, southern style. Someone is always on hand to explain wrapping methods and ingredients or to suggest a well-balanced order. Let them tempt you with a stir-fry Vietnamese-style, or soft-shell crab on green papaya salad from the specials menu.

Vancouver, Canada (SPX) Feb 21, 2012
Thinning ice resulting from climate change in the Arctic is happening far faster than experts previously imagined. With it come new global shipping routes and growing interest in natural resource development and regional tourism.
These changes, says a leading expert in oceanic governance, are urging Canada to advance its laws on shipping regulation, ocean governance and marine biodiversity protection.
David VanderZwaag, Canada Research Chair in Ocean Law and Governance, says that, although Canada faces growing challenges in Arctic governance given increased regional activity and mounting interest in developing the region's oil, gas and mineral industries, it has the potential to lead the way by how it governs its oceans and adopts practices of sustainable development in the Far North.
"There is a huge doughnut hole in the central Arctic Ocean that's beyond all the countries' coastal jurisdiction," says VanderZwaag.
"As every country has the right to a 200-nautical mile exclusive economic zone, there's a big gap in the middle, which could potentially turn out to be problematic. It's an area, however, where Canada could demonstrate its leadership."
VanderZwaag's work is wide-reaching and addresses ocean law, research, governance and policy-areas where Canada could prove to be an international leader. His research looks at how and where Canada can build on its strengths in oceanic governance.
Such strengths include the Oceans Act of 1996-a first-of-its-kind comprehensive international act that set out a roadmap for dealing with future challenges in international oceanic governance.
Another area of success Vanderzwaag is researching is Canada's solid foundation of strict environmental standards for shipping. He is currently working on a book that covers Canadian and Russian approaches to the law of the sea and Arctic Ocean governance.
VanderZwaag's work is already helping to strengthen Canada's law and policy net for protecting-even saving-marine species at risk. He recently co-authored a report for the Royal Society of Canada on how to better sustain Canada's marine biodiversity.
He has also published extensively on the precautionary approach to decision-making, which can be a powerful risk-assessment tool for policy-makers in evaluating the environmental impact of development proposals.
Vanderzwaag has also published recommendations to improve the governance system for the international control of toxic chemicals.
The Canada Research Chairs Program is designed to attract and retain the best talent from Canada and around the world, helping Canadian universities achieve research excellence in health sciences, natural sciences and engineering, and social sciences and humanities.
Since the program was launched in 2000, chairholders have improved Canadians' depth of knowledge and quality of life, strengthened the country's international competitiveness, and helped train the next generation of highly skilled people. For Tier 1 chairholders, the award is worth $1.4 million and is allocated over seven years.
VanderZwaag will discuss his research and answer questions from the press as part of the Canada Press Breakfast on the theme of Arctic and Oceans, which is being held at AAAS in Vancouver. The breakfast will be held in Room 306 of the Vancouver Convention Centre at 8 a.m. on February 17, 2012, and will feature Canadian research experts across natural sciences and engineering, health, and social sciences and humanities.

Mets Weekly Report: Remaining Interested In This SeasonAugust 8, 2011
With the Mets clearly out of the playoff race I ask Dave Doyle of Mets Report to give me some reasons to stay interested in the remainder of this season. Note: we did this video before Reyes and Murphy got hurt on Sunday…
2 Responses to Mets Weekly Report: Remaining Interested In This Season
Terry Collins did a great job with this team and i think that he will be good for the young players.Going forward i think that the players they bring in will be the most important next step.I have alot of confidence in terry collins getting the most out of his players which is huge and something we were lacking before.What i will say is this is new york and interesting although nice just is not enough.What is sad is that if we just keep our payroll at 145 million we would be able to not only retain reyes but get fielder and that could get us into a real fight in august and september for the playoffs unfortunately they are gonna cut payroll.
I give Collins credit. This team never quits. Last night was a great example of that.

by Anti-Racist Parent columnist Tiffany Pridgen
Coming from a very conservative small town, breastfeeding was a topic that was never discussed outside the home and certainly not practiced in public. For context, in the same small town if you were to take your birth control prescription to the pharmacy to be refilled, the clerk would never refer to the pills by name: she'd say, in a whisper, "Your b.c. is ready to be picked up."
You could go through life there forgetting that breasts are for baby food until you actually had a baby yourself and had to deal with the consequences of delivering it (namely engorgement). I have to admit that until about a year ago I myself found the concept of breastfeeding to be a bit backwards…and I mean "barefoot hippie" backwards. It seemed like an activity only women on the fringes of society engaged in, and I had certainly never seen any black women doing it.
It wasn't until my pregnancy last year that I began to evaluate why I was so uptight about breastfeeding, and much to my chagrin figured out that I feared that I'd lose my "homegirl membership" if I did. I had already received one strike against me when caught listening to Johnny Cash at work one day. Seriously, though, I think a little part of me was afraid that black women would tell me I was selling out. Frankly, up until that point I didn't give a damn about how people judged me, but when you add a multi-racial child into the mix you can't help but to feel like you're being called out for turning your back on "your people." Why add insult to injury?
After a lot of third trimester deliberation and having a labor & delivery nurse basically make the decision for me (it was a "give me your breast so I can attach your kid to it" situation), I breastfeed. Exclusively. I'm not a "lactivist" and I'm not going to try to convert anyone to my way of life. I don't argue with people about formula being just as good because, frankly, I don't care what other people do…but maybe I should?
Research shows that black women are far off the mark in terms of how many attempt to nurse, and that those who do typically don't do it very long. Dr. Suzette Oyeku comments on this trend in the July-August 2003 issue of Public Health Reports. In her article "A Closer Look at Racial/Ethnic Disparities in Breastfeeding" she details the following statistics:
"In 2001, 69.5% of women in the U.S. breastfed and 46.3% of women exclusively breastfed their infants in the early postpartum period. In the same year, only 32% of mothers were still breastfeeding and 17.2% were exclusively breastfeeding at 6 months postpartum. In 2001, only 52.9% African American women breastfed their infants in the early postpartum period, compared with 73% of Hispanic mothers and 72% of white mothers. The proportion of African American mothers continuing to nurse 6 months after birth was only 22%, compared with 33% of Hispanic mothers and 34% of white mothers. These rates underscore a significant racial/ethnic disparity in breastfeeding rates."
Oyeku discusses that of all the factors influencing a woman's decision to breastfeed, the two most critical sources of information are from healthcare providers and social supports (friends and family). Black women signing up for WIC during the time preceding her study were more likely to be advised to bottle-feed than their white counterparts because they were more likely to return to work sooner than non-black women and wouldn't be working in situations suitable for pumping.
You know, I did a lot of bitching and moaning to my mom's group when I was pregnant about how I wouldn't be able to nurse if I returned to work and was told that my logic was full of holes: one mom in the group had been a full-time employee of a huge home improvement store and went out to pump on the loading dock (shielded by a plastic curtain) during breaks. She was fully committed to following through on the choice she made for her child and found a way to do it. It's not impossible. Breastfeeding isn't just for stay-at-home moms and the educated upper classes who work desk jobs. I feel like many black women dismiss it entirely just as I did.
Additionally, I'm sure some Southern black women who are healthy and able to nurse find it difficult to forget what breastfeeding meant for them in the past. Breastfeeding later became equated with something that poor women who couldn't afford formula did, and now the tables are turning once more. It is now the women who can least afford to purchase formula who most often do because our society has conditioned us into believing that breastfeeding is passé, and at best an alternative to formula.
I can't recall a single advertisement or illustration representing a black mother and child nursing when I was pregnant, but then again I suppose the magazines and websites I read aren't trying particularly hard to be culturally inclusive. Whenever the media covers some breastfeeding-in-public scandal, the woman in question is usually white and possibly more than a little sensationalist (read: activist). I suppose that for some young black women seeing this sort of coverage would further convince them that it, like feminism, is a white woman's battle.
Whose responsibility is it to normalize breastfeeding for black Americans? Healthcare providers? Those public assistance caseworkers who approve WIC applicants? People like me (middle-class, college-educated, and fairly liberal)? I think that part of my job as an anti-racist parent is to occasionally stick my neck out and set an example, but would the people who need an example take me (coming from a situation of privilege) seriously?
What do you think?

Home > National News > Anti-Terror Watch > Article
US prosecutors are considering more charges against a Somali man suspected of having terrorist links and who had several long stays in Australia, his lawyer said yesterday.
Mahir Sherif said his client, Omar Abdi Mohamed, was refused bail this week because he was deemed to be a flight risk.
Mohamed was last in Sydney in December to witness the birth of his second Australian child but is now in custody in the US awaiting trial on immigration charges.
US prosecutors allege Mohamed, the founder of the Western Somali Relief Agency, made false statements in relation to $US351,036 the agency received from the Global Relief Foundation.
The US Government suspects the foundation of having terrorist links and has banned its operations there. Mr Sherif said he expected US prosecutors to charge Mohamed with accepting $5000 from the Islamic charity group Al-Haramain, which the US says also has ties to al-Qaeda, and which has been implicated in the Bali bombings that killed 202 people, including 88 Australians.
In 2002 the US Government blocked the accounts of the Somalia and Bosnia-Herzegovina branches of the Saudi Arabia-based Al-Haramain.
Mr Sherif said yesterday that US prosecutors had "alleged Omar received money from another charitable organisation that the government says has links to terrorism", and "indicated that they will bring additional charges".
Labor's homeland security spokesman, Robert McClelland, said yesterday the fact that Mohamed was alleged to have links with such an organisation was a matter of grave concern.
"It reinforces the fact that [Justice Minister] Senator [Chris] Ellison's statement that Mr Mohamed's presence in Australia was 'immaterial' displays a reckless indifference to the security of Australia," Mr McClelland said.
"The Government must have a full inquiry as to why the request by United States authorities as to Mr Mohamed's possible presence in Australia was not documented, and why at that time we were unable to detect his presence in Australia."
The ASIO director-general, Dennis Richardson, said this month that the US State Department had sought information from authorities about Mohamed's movements in Australia one to two years earlier than January, when ASIO, through a media report, became aware of Mohamed.
The Federal Government and the states failed yesterday to agree on Canberra taking over some state powers to prosecute terrorist money laundering offences.

Have a Tax Question? Ask a Tax Expert
The answer would depend on the purpose of determination of the residency.
Thus, for tax purposes the IRS dictates that would depend on where is your main home. If you have two homes and live in both of them, your main home is ordinarily the one you live in most of the time.
In addition to the amount of time you live in each home, other factors are relevant in determining which home is your main home. Those factors include the following. Your place of employment.The location of your family members' main home.Your mailing address for bills and correspondence.The address listed on your: --Federal and state tax returns,--Driver's license,--Car registration, and--Voter registration card.The location of the banks you use.The location of recreational clubs and religious organizations you are a member of.
Please see IRS publication 523 for details - http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p523.pdf
Each state may have its own determination of residency for tax purposes. Thus for California - your residence is usually the place where you have the closest ties in compare with your ties elsewhere. In using these factors, it is the strength of your ties, not just the number of ties, that determines your residency. A partial list of the factors to consider:
You may review FTB Publication 1031 - http://www.ftb.ca.gov/forms/03_forms/03_1031pub.pdf
Social security may send money to foreign bank - and you are not required to have a bank account at all.
See for reference - SSA Publication No. 05-10137 - http://ssa.gov/pubs/10137.pdf
If you reside in the foreign country - you most likely pay income tax in this country as a resident - if so - because the same income is taxed in the US and abroad - - you may claim a credit for taxes paid in foreign country - so the same income would not be taxed twice. Use the form 1116 - http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f1116.pdf please find instructions here - http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f1116.pdf
I´m a bit disappointed in your response. It feels as tho it is generic and not specific to me. But I will try to respond to the points you mention.
I spend approx 5 weeks per year, 2 visits of about 2-3 weeks. This can be easily proven by the stamps on my passport.
My wife is Chilean and lives here in Chile with me. My children are over 40 years of age and live 1 in Canada, and 2 in Calif.
My principal and ONLY residence is in Chile. I own no property in the US
I carry an International DL (for use here in Chile) and still have 1 year left on my Calif DL. It has the address of my son who receives mail for me.
I own one vehicle registered here in Chile, I own NO vehicles in the US
As a retiree I maintain NO licenses.
I use the Absentee System to vote and continue to be registered in Santa Clara County, Calif I can not vote in Chile, therefore not reg´s in Chile.
Location of the banks where you maintain accounts;
As my retirement system will not send money outside the US, I maintain a bank account in San Jose Calif. I have had money wired to mutual funds held by Banco Chile and can easily draw out money in pesos from the local banks here.
As my med and dental is free with my retiremenet sys, and my med and dental is NOT accepted outide the US, my doctor, dentist, accountant and attorney are in Calif
I belong to a catholic church in Chile, a service club in Chile (Rotary), and a member of the bd of directors of the condo assn where I live in Chile. I have no similar affiliatations in the US
I own NO property and have no NO investments in the US. My home, my car, and some mutual funds are all here in Chile.
I am retired and have NO work assigments in the US. For a short while I had a temporary residence card and was employed in Chile as a teacher of English.
The Rotary club and the condo assn and my wifes family and our friends are ALL here in Chile. I will forever be connected to my adult children and grand children who live in Canada and Calif. I have family ties in the US, but my regular on-going ´social ties are here in CHile.
Although Social security may send money to a foreign bank - and I am not required to have a bank account, that is NOT true for my retirement from the Fire Dept. They will not forward money outside the US. I have automatic deposits sent to a Calif bank, then as needed use an ATM to draw money out here in Chile, or have them wire money to Chile if I have a big purchase like a car.
You say that If I reside in a foreign country - I most likely pay income tax in that country as a resident. So far I have NOT paid an income tax, but suspect that when I recieve my permanent residence in summer 2010 I will begin to be taxed. I DO PAY property taxes on my home in Chile.
IN SUMMARY....... having read the above which lists all my connections with Calif should I consider 1) getting another bank which is OUTSIDE of Calif where the my retirement could be sent, 2) change my Calif drivers license, that is let it expire and only use an International DL, 3) discontinue using the absentee ballot which allows me to vote in US elections from outside the US, 4) provide receipts to show I pay property taxes here, then later receipts for income taxes I will pay here in Chile, 5) find employment here in Chile.
If these things or others you can suggest help, I WOULD BE WILLING to do so.
If in fact I did the various things to help my situation, then what?? What is the procedure to officially declare I am not living in California.
Bob Delgado Viña Del Mar CHILE
There is no official procedure to renounce your residency in the CA. All you should do - just establish your residency elsewhere and you will only liable to report income from CA sources and file CA tax return as a non-resident.
How the FTB would determine if you are a resident of not? - your residence is usually the place where you have the closest ties in compare with your ties elsewhere. In using these factors, it is the strength of your ties, not just the number of ties, that determines your residency.
In other words - your ties to the new established residence should be mush more strong than ties with California. If you ties to CA and Chile ar eabout equal - teh FTB may disagree with your determination and you will be involved in litigations.
I may not give you any specific recommendations what should you do - but I may say for sue that such factors as absentee ballot, drivers license, etc in CA - are evidences of your ties to CA.
Also - if you are not paying income tax in Chile - is an evidence - that you are not consider yourself as a resident. If you do pay income tax in Chile and claim a credit for thes e taxes on your federal tax return - that would be used as evidence of your ties to a new residence.
Now - you seem as a non-resident in Chile and thus - you did not change your residency from CA.
Fortunately or unfortunately - we should relay on the common rules and may not know your specific circumstances belong the information provided.
To address your specific situation - you could request a private letter ruling from the CA Franchise Tax Board to determine your residency status. That will eliminate possible litigations from FTB in the future.
Let me know if that helps.
Does that mean I would pay the same Calif taxes as I have been paying -or- are you saying that as a non-resident I would pay LESS taxes than as a resident?
You say...
if you are not paying income tax in Chile - is an evidence - that you are not consider yourself as a resident. If you do pay income tax in Chile and claim a credit for thes e taxes on your federal tax return - that would be used as evidence of your ties to a new residence.
THIS makes sense to me.... If I am NOT a permanent resident of Chile and if I am NOT paying Chilean income taxes then I am NOT a resident of Chile and must therefore be a Calif resident.
Soooooooo.... I have the impression that when I AM a permanent resident here, and when I AM paying income taxes here, then I have a much better claim to be a non-resident of Calif.
I think that´s the heart of the matter. When those two things occur, that´s when I will NOT file a Calif tax return and defend why by those two factors. Plus I´ll claim the Chilean taxes on my federal return.
you could request a private letter ruling from the CA Franchise Tax Board to determine your residency status.
I think this is the safest thing to do. Write a letter listing the factors I´ve noted, especially about having legal status as a permanent resident and paying taxes in Chile.
When it´s time to write that letter, I think I´ll use a Calif tax preparer. The right jargon, a tax preparer letterhead, and just maybe I´ll have a chance. I would prefer to do that than to take my chances and possibly face litigation.
Thanks for the info.....
Generally - yes - but that depends on income types.
As a resident - you pay CA taxes on all income regardless of its source.
If you are a non-resident - you pay taxes only on income from CA sources. For instance if you receive interest or dividend income while you are non resident - they will not be taxed in CA.
A private letter ruling is a request to the FTB to rule on your tax issue before taking certain action. The private letter ruling is applicable only to that tax situation and that taxpayer only. Most likely - you do not need a private letter ruling, but if there is a large amount of tax involved and a tax issue that is unclear - you might consider one.
The risk is that the private letter ruling will not be in your favor.
You definitely would need to have someone to represent you with the FTB in this case.
Again - your residency status determination is your responsibility. I would suggest to use the FTB Publication 1031 - I provided above and verify with the list of ties - your ties to the new established residence should be mush more strong than ties with California.
At first - you might want to changes items that ar e easier to track by FTB - driver license (that is a resident privilege) and voting registration.
Unless you do that "homework" - the right jargon, a tax preparer letterhead will not help.

The Austrian forward grabbed a goal and an assist in the crucial win over Villa's relegation rivals and Lambert was delighted with Weimann's contribution at Villa Park.
"I don't think he was a regular in the side but we gave him a chance and he is playing exceptionally well," Lambert said. "I know his natural position is probably through the middle but that's difficult with the way Christian Benteke and Gabby Agbonlahor are performing. But, whether or not he has to play off the line, he seems to score goals.
"The biggest compliment I can pay him is that he is a brilliant guy who gives you everything and that can take you a long way.
"It was a brilliant goal that he scored and, for the third goal, he just never gave up the ghost. He's a phenomenal lad to work with."
Defender Ron Vlaar was also quick to heap the praise on Weimann and the Villa captain hopes the club can convince the 21-year-old forward to sign a new deal at Villa Park.
Vlaar told reporters: "He scores a lot of goals and he's always in the right spot at the right time. I heard [he and the club] are talking to each other, but of course it's very important that he stays playing for Aston Villa."

One of Australia's biggest infrastructure fund managers says it has been forced to look offshore for investments because of a lack of suitable assets in Australia.
Melbourne-based Industry Funds Management, which manages $37 billion on behalf of large investors such as super schemes, said on Friday it had made eight investments overseas, including water companies and airports, worth a combined $5 billion.
"The clarion call for super funds to invest more in infrastructure has become very tiresome. There is no shortage of finance. The biggest challenge for us is the deal pipeline," said IFM head of Australian infrastructure
However, he noted that offshore investment risks were rising because of the need for indebted governments to appease voters hit by austerity programs. "The No.1 risk of overseas investing is political and regulatory risk. Governments are being forced to be seen to be doing something. They are limiting the return private investors can get from infrastructure," he said.
The $82 billion Future Fund said it was keen to invest more in low-risk Australian infrastructure projects because such investments allowed the fund to better match its assets with liabilities. Investing in local projects gave the fund exposure to the Australian economy and Australian interest rates, which would help put it in a position to make pension payments from 2020.
The Future Fund has just spent nearly $1 billion buying stakes in Melbourne and Perth airports, although it may be sued over the latter investment by AustralianSuper, Australia's largest industry super fund. Future Fund director of infrastructure and timberland,
Ms Norris and Mr Hanna were addressing the annual Council of Major Super Funds conference in Brisbane, alongside former NSW premier and chairman of Infrastructure NSW
He argued the failures were the result of "lots of testosterone" on the part of investment banks and "lots of greed" on the part of treasury departments and politicians. "It is important we don't allow [those failures] to besmirch the whole area of infrastructure funding. I suspect there is still some appetite to take patronage risk, but I suspect we will have risk-sharing models going forward," Mr Greiner said.
The NSW Infrastructure chairman called on state and federal governments to sell mature infrastructure assets to free up capital that could be invested in new, much needed projects.
Ms Norris said the Future Fund had no intention of joining an industry trend to manage assets in-house. She said it was important for the fund's main business to be selecting the most appropriate asset mix, which was best achieved by having no internal bias for one asset class over another.

A Brief Guideline to Chrysler Cars For Sale
1 Recommendation
simonward67's recommendation
may possibly had bad credit during the last 5 years now. while i first got out of the us army 10 years ago my wife and i bought a great home in Gilroy CA and we desided to raise our family their. People quickly learned to enjoy our new city people lived in and made some great friends realy fast. we started to have kids first we had a some that is right now 9 years old. Then our daughter came 4 years latter she is now 5 years old and then we had a son 12 months after that. we knew that we needed a bigger home so we desided to sell the home we were happy in and get a much bigger home since our realator told us for any no interest loan that would alow us to afford a house 3 times the size he were in using a lower payment. That was the biggest mistake we available the payment were great for one year after that they quickly went up to double and then it stayed their for 5 years. we had to give up our home and obtain bad credit all because a realtor wanted to generate a bigger commision.

For my cycling tour this year I had chosen a route along the Black Sea coast from ▐ile to Sinop. This was the first time that I would be cycling such a long distance alone, so as I loaded my bicycle onto the ▐ile bus in ▄sk³dar in the first morning light, a trace of apprehension mingled with my eager anticipation. On this holiday the journey itself would be the whole pleasure, rather than merely a means of reaching a destination.
At nine o'clock in the morning I started pedalling along the hilly road from ▐ile to Ava. Delighting in the tranquil beauty of the woodland and deserted shores of the Black Sea, the 40 kilometres were soon behind me, and I arrived at Ava around noon. A German couple to whom I asked the way invited me home for a lemonade, and then I set out under the hot sun for Kefken, the asphalt melting in the heat and smearing the tyres with tar. Beyond the village of P²narl² the road became a dirt track all the way to Kefken. That night I camped in the village of Karaaań just past the town. I had ridden a total of 99 kilometres that first day.
The following morning I took the sandy, dusty road to Karasu, the Black Sea appearing sporadically to my left. At Karasu the road improved, and I spun through colourful scenery to Kocaali. I noticed that the bed of the Maden River was dry, its water channelled off to supply the town. After lunch at Karaburun further along the coast, a succession of steep hills leading through hazelnut plantations brought me to the seaside town of Akńakoca, where I stopped for a refreshing swim. I continued on to Ereli, doing my best not to let the many lorries make me tense. Here I spent the night, and then continued by bus to Zonguldak, since the road was too dangerous for cyclists. From there I pedalled fast along the busy Bart²n road, and then struck north to Amasra on the coast, halting at Ku■kayas², or Bird Rock, so named after a monument built by the Roman governor Aguilla to mark a halting place for travellers. The monument consists of a broken eagle on a pillar and a human figure carved in relief on the rock.
The road from Cide to Doanyurt was one of the most demanding but also loveliest stages of my journey, with constantly changing views of the sea and a profusion of wild flowers, including mauve and purple irises, clumps of violets, calendulas, and broom.
At Aydos I stopped for a meal and then set up camp near the lighthouse on Kavakl² headland. A northwesterly wind was blowing when I awoke. That morning I passed numerous villages whose local names were confusingly different from those on the map - Akbay²r was Girvli, Doanyurt Meset, ▌lyasbey Fakaz, Ūayyaka G³b³r, Aydos Sakall² and so on. Now I arrived at the loveliest village of any I had yet seen. This was Kayran, just beyond Doanyurt, lying within sight of the sea in a deep valley through which a river ran, and surrounded by fields of maize, hazelnuts and cabbages. At lunchtime I swam on the outskirts of ▌nebolu, a town with many traditional houses similar to those of Safranbolu.
One steep hill after another took me to Gemiciler and a chat over coffee in the cafķ, and then to Abana, one of Turkey's first seaside resorts.

By following a tutorial on using aircrack-ng i was able to get my network's wep key using bt4b on a flash drive and my AAO; i don't recall making any changes (especially since I was and still am a newb).
i want to buy a acer aspire one a110.
But i am unsure now... i have read some articles and some say it wont be able to "crack" wep , because bt3 and bt4 doesnt work with that netbook out of the box?
So my question: is it possible to do packet injection and mode monitor with the aao a110 (the first one) ?
By following a tutorial on using aircrack-ng i was able to get my network's wep key using bt4b on a flash drive and my AAO; i don't recall making any changes (especially since I was and still am a newb).
cany anyone test this to crack his wep?
i can crack min within a few minutes and this works on my eee 4g 701, if this works on the AAO i'll buy it
airmon‐ng stop wifi0
ifconfig wifi0 down
airmon‐ng start wifi0
wesside‐ng ‐v [router mac] i ath1 (has to be in Mode monitor)
I just purchased an AOD150-1577 and installed backtrack 4 beta as the primary OS. I have only been on it for about an hour now but most things seem to be working fine. I have however had a problem with kismet. When I try to launch kismet from the console or menu I get
I haven't tested injection yet but I am on my home wireless. I also havent tried to user the webcam for anything. I'll update later when I've had a chance to test more features.Code:Suid priv-dropping disabled. This may not be secure. No specific sources given to be enabled, all will be enabled. Non-RFMon VAPs will be destroyed on multi-vap interfaces (ie, madwifi-ng) Enabling channel hopping. Enabling channel splitting. NOTICE: Disabling channel hopping, no enabled sources are able to change channel. Source 0 (intel): Enabling monitor mode for iwl3945 source interface wlan0 channel 6... FATAL: GetIFFlags: interface wlan0: No such device
You need to set the correct "source= " parameters in the /etc/kismet/kismet.conf file.
There are a ton of threads on how to do this if you don't know how. Search and you should find the answer to your kismet problem.
Well I setup a verizon fios router we weren't using today and cracked WEP no problem. I don't have audio yet but
I haven't begun to look into why.

My issue with DC is that we are 28th in the league in assists per game, and he can't run a successful pick and roll, drive and kick, or especially run a break properly like a normal starting point guard should be able to. We are a very good team, but assists per game is a huge issue for us (Which is a direct affect of our poor transition game), as well as point guard defense. Lack of point guard play, lack of a pure scorer, and lack of a complete bench is what is keeping us from being an elite team.
I have a huge problem with this line of thinking, I could probably agree with you if you told me that you don't mind our SG/SF/PF to be the weakest link but the point guard? to me point guard and centers are the most important pieces on any team, you have a weak PG or Center and unless you have Lebron/Dwade you are pretty much screwed.
Agreed. But I'm of the opinion that serious improvement could come even without the likes of Rondo, DWill, etc.
Just a decent distributor who plays effective defense could make a big differences, and I think that player is obtainable right now.
"Look, it's up to me to put a team around ... Lance right now." Kevin Pritchard press conference
This sounds good and got a lot of Thanks. But it's not that simple.
What if D.C. was playing center? Well, sure, he's a good player, but the skills he brings to the position would be a serious weakness.
It's not as drastic as that, but D.C.'s skills are for shooting guard, not point guard. His being a weak link is indeed a serious problem.
"Look, it's up to me to put a team around ... Lance right now." Kevin Pritchard press conference
Get real please.
But my concern/frustration is what I mentioned a few posts earlier. I DO think we can find a decent point guard right now to upgrade the position. It doesn't have to be an All-Star. My two cents.
"Look, it's up to me to put a team around ... Lance right now." Kevin Pritchard press conference
I'm thinking Felton, Hinrick, Andre Miller. Some people dismiss them (especially the first two) when I bring them up because they don't have Steve Nash offensive skills. But my point is DECENT distribution and GOOD defense would trump BAD distribution and BAD defense, which is what we currently have.
"Look, it's up to me to put a team around ... Lance right now." Kevin Pritchard press conference
We need to see if and how GH can improve the situation. Hill got hurt way too early in the season before the team got used to playing with one another. Sharing the PG position should help. I am not unhappy with what we have now. Consistency from some of the other "all stars" would go a long way
I like Andre Miller but like you said he is a bit of a diva, he wants to start not matter what in his next team and I don't like that type of attitute, to me the best choice at the moment is Calderon, great floor general that knows how to pass the ball and create for others, his defense is bad but not as bad as some people here think, him playing in a crappy team with not defenders makes him look worse than what he is, a first round pick plus some players should get the Raptors interested.
It's crazy how quickly things sour here. A year ago this board erupted that we traded Murphy and got Collison. His 2nd year with the team, and 3rd overall and we're looking for the next big thing.
Obviously if an upgrade is available, you pursue, but let's not down a guy that's help to solidify the point guard position that use to be EXTREMELY unstable
I've given up on the whole Deron Williams ever coming here idea no matter how much sense it would make for us. There are probably a good 4 or 5 times a game that I just groan because someone was standing WIDE OPEN and Darren missed it cause he's not looking up and concentrating on how he's going to beat the guy in front of him and where he's going to go with the ball. Rondo would be a perfect fit for us and he always seems to abuse Derrick Rose which would be another plus.
I think the Pacers can beat the Heat and the Bulls as long as they have really good defenders at all 5 positions, and play unselfish ball. I like said earlier in the year. We are not going to out superstar or out talent the Heat or the Bulls. So we have to out defend them. You play lock down defense and you will always give yourself a chance to win at the end. Thats why i want to see GH starting at point or atleast finishing games.
You can't get champagne from a garden hose.
The Pacers can be the Bulls or the Heat in the playoffs? Oh, they might win one game. You need to serious come down to earth......
We're currently the #3 seed. It's reasonable to think we could end the year there (hardest part of our schedule is behind us). Which one of the bottom seeds do you think is going to win 4 of 7 against us when we've got home court?
I don't think we (yet) have the guns to take out Miami or Chicago, but against anyone else I like our chances.
This space for rent.
I'm not perfect and neither are you.

Ephisians 4: 32 And be kind towards one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as Elohim also forgave you in Messiah.

Baltimore • Sharing how he has coped after his son's suicide last year, megachurch pastor Rick Warren urged Southern Baptist pastors Monday to let their times of suffering be acts of ministry.
"Behind every publicly successful ministry, there is private pain," Warren said at the Southern Baptist Convention's Pastors' Conference. "Pain is God's megaphone. There is no testimony without a test. There is no message without a mess. There is no impact without criticism."
Warren's son, Matthew, 27, who suffered from mental illness, killed himself five days after Easter in 2013.
"If your brain doesn't work right and you take a pill, why are you supposed to be ashamed of that?" Warren asked. "It's just an organ, and we have to remove that stigma."

Alright so many of my followers and friends have taken a survey on what exactly this Sandy Hook Shooting was caused by. Is it video games, Films, Books? 100% of the People who have taken this survey have said "No."
ISSUE #1 Parents and Politicians.
A Quote from the Survey
The fact that you read about violence or you play a violent or cruel video game doesn't make you more willing of becoming a criminal or committing a crime. Stop blaming inanimate objects for people's stupidity. Shakespeare's creations include: raping, violence, suicide and torture. I never heard of a parent trying to ban his books. The reason why some parents and politicians are trying to ban violent video games is because is easier to blame an object rather than a parent.
Now the above comment is true. Have you ever been at GameStop when a parent is buying a kid Grand Theft Auto? The employee tries to explain exactly what is in the game from the Mature 17+ rating. The parents interjects and says something along the lines of ;
"Yes, It's fine"
This is the real problem. Letting children by with the fact that playing these games given a rating (for a specific reason) instead of being at the right of age is
For you Parents out there! Here's an Example of what we mean.
Watch what your kids play?? Good idea?
Part 2 coming soon!

Vital Signs: New PPI Tells a Familiar Story
The Labor Department released a revamped version of the producer price index Wednesday. The new PPI for final demand includes goods, services and construction while the old PPI covered only finished goods.
The new data show the most of the volatility in inflation remains in the goods sector while service prices rise at a steadier and generally higher pace. Over the past two years, the goods PPI has increased 2.1% while the service PPI is up a faster 3.2%. The trends seen in the new PPI reflect patterns in the consumer price index which has long included both goods and services.
The volatility in the goods PPI partly reflects the swings in energy commodities. Excluding them, the 12-month percent change of the index shows a steadier and falling trend over the past two years.

It's been a while since Everard Cunion saw his last human girlfriend.
"We had a bit of an argument in 1995 and I haven't seen her since," he tells GQ. Though the 57-year-old is anything but lonely. He has Rebecca, Caroline, Louise, Virginia and Lina for company. Then there's Joanna and Annabelle, Denise and June – and Laura, from Japan.
"They all have their own personalities," he says of his current romantic partners, none of whom are alive. "Rebecca is fairly reserved and quiet. I mean, they're all quiet. But Caroline, if she could speak, would be loud and telling people what to do. The sex is pretty much the same with each one. Nowhere near as sensual as the real thing. But, for something that's not human, it's pretty good."
Before he goes out to work, or for his daily coastal walk, he lets them know what he's doing. "I treat them like human beings. But not fully human beings."
Cunion bought his first non-living girlfriend in 2000, when he was fired from his position as a technical author at an aerospace company. "I'd saved up enough money that I was able to take stock and think, 'What am I going to do with my life?' I thought, seeing as I can't get a real girlfriend – and there's a lot of people in my situation – somebody, somewhere must be making the artificial equivalent." He was right.
Cunion's fake girlfriends are made from silicon and steel. They cannot speak or walk, but they're anatomically correct and beautifully proportioned. And although Cunion's passionate interest in inanimate objects is unusual, there's a good chance that, in him, we might be seeing a glimpse of the future, and that Everard Cunion might one day be celebrated as a pioneer. Because many experts believe once the technology is sufficiently advanced, it will become common for people to fall in love, and have sex with non-humans, in the form of robots.
To be a robot doesn't necessarily mean to look human, which is perhaps why we tend to underestimate the fact that they already live among us, in vast numbers. According to Noel Sharkey, Professor of Artificial Intelligence and Robotics at the University of Sheffield in the UK, there are 1.5 million industrial robots in operation on the planet, painting car doors and making plastics.
Meanwhile "service robots" already number about 8 million worldwide. From cleaning machines to submarines that mend coral reefs, little contraptions with "minds" of their own are already scratching about in distant corners, selflessly assisting humanity. David Levy, twice-winner of the Loebner Prize for Human-Robot interaction says: "When robots are sufficiently human-like in their appearance and in how they act and talk, they will be almost indistinguishable from humans. So why shouldn't someone fall in love with them?"
We might not have robot boyfriends or girlfriends yet, but the world is already littered with their component parts. As well as the visually lifelike, if immobile, sex dolls such as the ones Cunion lives with, a wide range of electromechanical robot genitals can be bought, relatively cheaply. Our familiarity with vibrators has inured us to the fact that they are, in fact, robot penises. In Australia, sales of vibrators alone are worth over $20m a year. As practically every character of the treacherous and not-at-all missed TV show Sex and the City seemed ever so keen to tell us, these gadgets can achieve effects that are far beyond the ability of any human man. And the technology is becoming even more advanced, and robotic. Those made by US sexual simulation company Sybian show quite how pleasurable our mechano-erotic futures may be.
Founded by former dance instructor Dave Lampert, Sybian sells orgasm engines of astonishing capability. The female "friendly" Sybian, which retails at about $1470, is a kind of saddle, upon which a rotating and vibrating nodule stimulates the G-spot, vulva and clitoris during masturbation.
A female journalist from Penthouse Forum, who witnessed its unveiling, reported it made, "Movements no human male could possibly duplicate, at least for any length of time." She was there for a demonstration, given by a brave young volunteer named Sally. "Sally's face began to contort, first with mild pleasure, then with growing disbelief and eventually into complete abandon. At one point, I thought she was going to faint."
A Sybian creation for men, the Venus 2000, is a hydraulic vagina that costs $1027. Larry Peronis, a 56-year-old mechanic from Southern Indiana, bought his first (he owns two) 20 years ago. When asked how it operates, he replies, "It works fantastic. It's just a sleeve inside a tube you put your penis in, then you hook up a hose that moves air in and out of the tube." The speed, he says, can be adjusted from slow to "violent". His wife is not a fan of his Venus 2000, which he keeps in his desk in his study. Every day, he reclines in his leather chair, attaches the machine, switches it on and commences his favourite sexual fantasy. "I literally make love to my machine. I could sit there for hours."
Peronis insists his Venus 2000 generates orgasms that would be impossible to experience with another human. Of those who might doubt him, he says, "They don't know what they're missing." And when a female robot is created with a similar mechanism built into its crotch, would he buy one? There's a long silence, as the magnitude of the notion makes itself known in Peronis's head, "Oh yeah!"

Cutters Five Game Winning Streak Snapped
By Williamsport Crosscutters | July 11, 2014 10:54 PM ET
The Vermont Lake Monsters used a 7-run second inning to win the finale of the 3-game series with the Crosscutters Friday night at Susquehanna Bank Park at Bowman Field 14-2.
Cutters starting pitcher Chris Oliver (0-1) making his second start did not survive the second inning going just five outs on the night allowing seven runs on four hits, three walks while striking out one in his first loss.
Preston Packrall would also be roughed up by Vermont hitters over five outs of work allowing six runs on seven hits and two walks.
Manny Martinez entered the game with one out in the fourth inning and gave up a single to Brett Vertigan. From that point until the end of the game the Cutters bullpen combined for 5.2 innings of no-hit relief but the damage had already been done.
RP Manny Martinez (1.2 innings), Keivi Rojas, Christopher O'Hare and Mark Meadors all worked scoreless innings.
RP Ricky Bielski allowed a run in the sixth inning on a pair of walks, a balk and two hit batters.
Derek Campbell had his 10-game hitting streak snapped by going 0 for 4.
The Cutters offense was held to just five hits on the night. The only extra base hit and RBI on the night belonged to Robinson Torres who doubled home Garcia and Hernandez in the fourth inning. It was the only time the Cutters scored on the night and had more than one base runner on in an inning.
The Crosscutters loss makes their record 16-12 and snaps a 5-game winning streak.
Williamsport continues its 6-game home stand with the first game of a 3-game series with the Tri-City Valley Cats Saturday night at Susquehanna Bank Park at Historic Bowman Field.
Saturday, July 12th is an appearance by Denny McLain as well as Star Wars night, post-game fireworks and Prostate Cancer Awareness night.
Sunday, July 13 come out for Bark in the Park XVI, along with Selinsgrove/Sunbury night and Baseball Bingo.
The home stand concludes on Monday, July 14 with the Crosscutters Team Photo Giveaway, plus Military Monday and Hoss's Knothole Gang night.
Cutters Carvings: LHP Joey DeNato was promoted to Lakewood (A) after posting a 2-0 record and an ERA of 3.18 in 8 appearances for the Crosscutters…LHP Christopher O'Hare & RHP Jesen Therrien were assigned to Williamsport from Lakewood (A)… RP Manny Martinez (1.2 innings), Keivi Rojas (1 inning), Christopher O'Hare (1 inning) and Mark Meadors all worked scoreless innings...IF Derek Campbell had his hitting streak snapped at 10 games with an 0 for 4 performance…

The amazing Danny Trejo.

30 Comments on "Random Photos Part Three – Sin City Premiere"
Well, whenever I see Josh Brolin all I wanna do is throw him down and fuck the hell out of him. Obviously, I need help.
Whenever I see Brolin – I think of what gross woman beaters/haters that he and Sean Penn are. Still can't figure out what Charlize is thinkin.
Blanky: I heart Trejo's face so hard it hurts
I'm so jealous of everyone that is now getting to watch BrBa for the first time. I miss it so bad. It is too painful to think that I will never get another Sunday night viewing party that starts with the sound of ANGELS 🙁
Ugh that song just seriously brought a single tear from my eye. I'm gunna go watch that episode now too.
Enjoy! <3
Zoe Saldana has the career Rosario Dawson should've had in my opinion.
Danny Trejo is one of my favorite character actors.
Is Jessica Alba trying to morph into Sofia Vergara? Jessica, dear, Sofia wouldn't be caught dead in those shoes.
Bruce Willis looks terrific.
All the girls look pretty, but does Rosario have her nips pierced or is she just cold?
I have loved Jamie Chung all the way back to her days on "The Real World."
And I feel really bad for Mickey Rourke's date.
Holy crap! Did anyone else think Bruce Willis was Michael Kors!? LOL!
I like Alba's dress.
Danny Trejo, love him so much. Too many movies to list.
Rourke looks like the wizard of Oz once the curtain moved away.
Danny!!!!!! Love that man
mickey rourke/bruce willis nice suits!
That's totally what I was thinking @Penelope. I mean, aside from the alcoholic fits of rage, I think I'd actually go there. Like, in a big way.
I love, love, LOVE Danny Trejo! He was phenomenal in his somewhat small part in the Rob Zombie Halloween remake as a big sweetheart and just as good in every role in which he plays the badass. Such a great talent.
P: Broad w/ Rourke
M: Chung
B: Alba
That's the best picture of Cash Warren I've ever seen! He looks very handsome there.
Josh Brolin looks super hot. Too bad he's a violent jerk.
Jamie Chung, who ever you are, flawless – beautiful dress too.
Jamie King – I think like it.
Rourke – Ur a bad Piece Of Work.
(I take it ur "friend" has some darn good body make-up, either that or u haven't gotten her home yet.)
Shag: Machete and Gail. I'm not gonna lie, I'd be quite happy just to watch that encounter…which, in the interest of safety, may be for the best.
Marry: Eva Green and anyone who's seen 'The Dreamers' knows why.
Kill: The con artist who took advantage of poor Mickey and sold him one of Andy Warhol's old wigs.
I've waited on Trejo…he's very short. But just as gracious.
I want the drapes mickey is wearing.
Alba doesn't usually register with me, but that's a great dress.
I almost bought some luggage that looked like Mickey Rourke's outfit.
In the pic Trejo looks like short and fat, de vito short and fat. I will say this low because he is/was a criminal and I don't want him to come with a horse head.
It seems that not beating ladies daily feels good to brolin, sadly it won't last.
How funnt Lady H..I just watched that epi of BB.
What has Rourke now done to his face. Something with his mouth/teeth. And yes, that hair is bloody odd.
Jamie Chung is beautiful. Rosario Dawson always looks like she's having fun.
SUGAR!!!!! Hey grrrl HEEEEEYYYY
Mickey Rourke – I'm sorry, but I love that batshit crazy mahfucker. I just wish he'd start carrying his chihuahua around again. That was freakin' hilarious. Of course, knowing him, he'd probably hit up Paula for chihuahua stroller recs, but still.
Danny Trejo – yes!!
@Nipple – yes!! The only ice bucket video I've actually watched, because that might be the only chance we ever get to see Anna Wintour be even remotely casual. It was worth it!!
What wild animal got trapped on top of Mickey's head?
Yes. And her daughter's.
Have you seen Tom Cruise's? I have to give him credit, he met the challenge in a big way.
DANNY TREJO!!!!!!!!!! Everyone else sit the fuck down! Especially you Mickey Rourke wtf is that?
Oh my goodness, does Josh Brolin look amazing.
Anyone see the Anna Wintour ice bucket challenge video?
Word, Lady.
Tortuga 4 life. That is all.
