Study on the Information Level of Pupils and Parents Regarding the Effects of Unhealthy Food Consumption
During the past centuries, consumption has become both one of the most discussed and analyzed subjects in the literature and a mass phenomenon in society. In order to satisfy their needs and to improve the quality of their life consumers need information and education. Consumers' information and education are promoted by a globally-developed consumer movement. The aims of our paper are to present the role of the consumer information and education in society, and to analyze and highlight the results of a national project regarding the information and education of Romanian young consumers, run by the Association for Consumers Protection (APC) Romania. By using primary data obtained from a survey based on a questionnaire, a set of three hypotheses was tested during our research. The results of our research shows that a relatively small number of Romanian pupils from the 5th grade to 8th grade were aware of the negative effects of unhealthy food consumption and of the fact that the unhealthy food consumption may give rise to obesity and ADHD (agitation with attention deficit).

Express yourself! These chalkboard vases invite the owner to contribute to the design. Available in three different sizes: 10" x 3.5", 12" x 5", 10" x 6". Chalk included. $40
StraightLine's recommendation
I can think of a zillion ways to use these vases (well, okay, maybe not a zillion). If you're having a theme party put your doodles to work! If it's a birthday...again put something appropriate for the celebrant. What if you're taking flower to someone who needs cheering up? Write encouraging words or funny faces on the vase and stuff it with fabulous flowers! And men, if you're bringing her flowers on V-Day, she will go crazy if you decorate the vase yourself! See, the possibilities are endless!

Loss of 'Made in America' tag explored
Nathan McGill and Vincent Vittorio learned a lot about American manufacturing as they crisscrossed the country for their documentary about the changing nature of the industry and its impact on the towns and cities that play host to companies of all sizes.
But the directors and producers of "American Made Movie" got some of their first glimpses of 3-D printing, known as additive manufacturing, while touring several Westmoreland County sites on Tuesday.
The filmmakers are on their 19th day of a promotional tour hitting 32 cities in as many days. They plan to end their stint in Western Pennsylvania with a screening of "American Made Movie" and a panel discussion in downtown Pittsburgh.
The movie will debut in theaters Aug. 30. They are documenting their tour, filming at each stop for a supplementary DVD.
McGill and Vittorio watched carefully and peppered officials from ExOne in North Huntingdon with questions as they explained the company's 3-D printing operations. The company makes parts and the machines that print those parts from a digital image using stainless steel powder.
Rick Clark, general manager of ExOne, showed the crew "green parts," the first form that comes out of the machine, and then pieces that had been infiltrated with bronze to fill in gaps and make a solid metal part. Finally, pieces are finished and polished to shiny silver or other patina.
In another area of the facility, ExOne engineering manager Larry Voss showed the crew where workers are building a new metal platform for a 3-D printer.
"Pittsburgh is one of those areas with a rich manufacturing history ... but it's also rebranding itself," said McGill, 32, of Atlanta. "A place like this (will) change the face of manufacturing in 10 years."
McGill and Vittorio, 33, who lives in Los Angeles, went to high school together in Georgia but went separate ways for college. About eight years ago, they partnered to make documentaries under Vittorio's company, Life is My Movie Entertainment.
The pair previously made a documentary about tax reform called "An Inconvenient Tax."
Both men have personal connections to manufacturing; McGill's parents and grandparents worked in the automobile industry, and Vittorio's wife's family worked in Detroit in auto manufacturing.
They were inspired to look at "whatever happened to the 'Made in America' " labels after seeing food documentaries focusing on buying local, organic products, McGill said.
The crew also made stops at Westmoreland County Community College to tour its Business and Industry Center and learn about the Advanced Technology Center the college broke ground on this month. The center will provide more space for growing workforce development programs, including 3-D printing.
WCCC purchased a 3-D printer about 2 1⁄2 years ago for about $18,000 using federal grant money. Trustees approved using the grant funding to purchase a 3-D scanner and software for about $19,000 in October.
At Elliott Group in Jeannette, the filmmakers planned to present the company with its "Be a Part" award for its investment in the community and the positive economic impact on the area.
Vittorio said the documentary has received "really, really good" responses so far because it blends manufacturing history with personal stories.
"People say, 'I didn't know I'd weep at a documentary about manufacturing,'" Vittorio said.

– spontaneus trip on the last three days of the camping season there – great camping place, we lived in a mobile home with great view over the lake for an extremely reasonable price – the pizzas were delicious! – great view over the lake, to Saló and the mountains around it – our son loved the entertainment, we used Spottyland with lots of toys and Mini Disco in the evening, he was so excited to see Spotty the last evening – nice walk over to Saló, even with a 4 year old good to do – 2 playgrounds with fun stuff for kids – very nice pools, also for kids (it was just too cold to actually swim in them) – very nice staff
Very good price, fair condutions. I had booked 1 cottage for 6 people and it was available at the time we arrived. So we got 2 cottages for 5 people each! Very good deal! Nice green territory with 2 pools, comfortable cottages, friendly staff.
Campsite was clean, Pool area is great for couples with young. Campsite is quite diverse offering camper vans, tents and bungalow accommodation.
The swimming pools, slides, warm spa pools 🙂 They always had at least two lifeguards on duty too. The restaurant – lush ice-cream sold for 1.20 euros. Such a bargain. Lovely staff on reception and the entertainment staff. Lots to do with my two boys (5 years and 2 years old) Outdoor gym type equipment, adventure park with zip wire, tunnel slide, archery and lots of woodland stuff. Another park with see-saw, swing, slide, wooden house etc. Entertainment throughout the day…land train ride, mini disco, make your own pizza, pirate theme day, painting and loads more. Hired a car and did loads of amazing things around the lake…can even walk through to the lake to swim in it! Salo really close – about 5km – and had a wonderful fireworks display there Sunday night. Lovely that my sons could go outside to play outside our cottage/chalet…not trapped in a hotel room!! They could go onto the decking and have a run around, be in nature, get loads of sun 🙂
Oikein hyvä allasalue. Helppo tulla autolla. Siisti, rauhallinen lomakylä. Hyvä ravintola. Nice pool area. Clean, peaceful holiday village. Good food in the restaurant. Gorgeous view.
Nice, quiet place to have vacation. Frendly staff, solved problems quickly. Nice view to the mountains. Children had nice playgrounds.
The location is beautiful, an awesome village on the hills around Garda lake, also has an inner passage to the lake itself. The rooms are in small but comfortable lodges. Everything is clean Inside there is a little kitchen with dishes, fridge and teapot, which we found to be very helpful. Outside there is a lovely terrase with garden table and a BBQ. The staff was kind and polite. Overall it's a very nice place and we were sorry that we aren't staying for any longer. Besides, the price was more than fair.
Sauber, Wohneinheiten waren gemutlich, Pool für Kidies super, Service Perfekt, einziger Nachteil der Weg zum See, bei jeder Wohneinheit ist sogar ein Grill dabei.
perfect location near lake. nice aquazone and kids playgrounds barbeque kit. carefour supermarket nearby in the village.
E' stata una bellissima scoperta. Alloggiare nei Cottage con la famiglia è una bellissima esperienza poichè si condivide tutto da vicino. Ideale per le famiglie con bambini piccoli visto che dentro il campeggio non manca nulla, piscine, vari parchi da gioco, minimarket, bar/pizzeria, e soprattutto il Lago di Garda a 2 minuti a piedi. Nonostante abbia trascorso solo 3 notti insieme a mia moglie e tre bambini piccoli, alla fine è stato tutto molto molto rilassante. Spero di tornarci presto.
E' già la terza volta che soggiorniamo in questo campeggio davvero carino, l'ideale per i bambini, noi affittiamo il bungalow e ci siamo sempre trovati bene, ogni anno rinnovano qualcosa, quest'anno il parco per i bimbi e il negozio. Il campeggio è nel verde ed è pulitissimo!

I have a QuickSilver (yes, I know how hated Ed Roman is in most circles, but I do really love this guitar, so please bear with me). It's got an alder body, a maple top, a maple neck and a rosewood fingerboard. Vintage tremolo. Two humbucking pickups. In short, it has the construction of an early PRS Classic Electric (before 1995 they were made of alder, not mahogany). It is currently strung with Dean Markley Blue Steel strings, though I am considering switching to nickel-wound D'addarios.
I've decided I don't care for the stock pickups, which are referred to as Black/Back ND pickups. The Black/Backs might sound better on a darker wood like korina or mahogany, but on my alder body they're awfully sharp to my ears. Having had a pair of PRS pickups (HFS and VIntage Bass) installed for a time, I preferred the PRS pickups. The problem is, the PRS pickups can't be bolted directly to the wood, at least not without altering the construction of the guitar. So I'm considering switching to a different model of Duncans.
When I run the specifics of my guitar's construction through the Tone Wizard, I invariably get the same results for all three of the playing styles I'm interested in (Classic Rock, Rock/Pop, and Hard Rock/Metal) -- 59's or Alnico II Pros. The only deviation from this is if I choose "Hard Rock/Metal" for playing style... then one of the suggestions for the bridge pickup is a Custom 5, which I am thinking is more for heavier work than what I do.
So the suggestions from the Tone Wizard are pretty straightforward -- either 59's, or Alnico II Pros, or a combination of those two. But I'm still not quite convinced, so I was hoping to get some opinions from this forum.
I play almost entirely with the tone and volume knobs all the way up, and with the pickup selector switch in the center (both pickups active). This gives me a fuller tone than the bridge pickup, but a brighter tone than the neck pickup, so I like this compromise. I mostly play spacy progressive rock, in the style of classic bands like Rush, Pink Floyd, and Yes, as well as newer bands like Porcupine Tree, and ethereal artists like Eric Johnson (particularly on Venus Isle). I tend to use a lot of chorus, and often similar effects like flange and phase, along with delay for that spacy effect. I want a smooth, sweet dirty lead tone with a soft attack and not too much crunch. It should also be noted that I play without a pick, and mostly pick with my fingers (not my fingernails, unless strumming).
Given my playing style, and the construction of the guitar, what would you recommend for pickups? If you think the Tone Wizard is on the money, should I go with '59s, Alnico II Pros, or some combination thereof? Any advice you guys can give me is greatly appreciated.

Inline PDF solution available for Camino 2.0a1pre builds
Talk about the native Mac OS X browser.
Moderator: Camino Developers
37 posts • Page 1 of 3 • 1, 2, 3
Edit 2009-10-06:
DO NOT USE THIS PLUG-IN; use the new version of the Schubert PDF Browser Plugin instead.
We have discovered over the course of this thread that the Firefox PDF plugin is buggy, causes crashes, and requires a very complex and unfriendly installation method.
As seen on Mac OS X Hints, there's a new PDF plug-in available for Mac OS X 10.4 and 10.5. It mostly works in Camino trunk (2.0a1pre) builds, too.
It's packaged as a Firefox extension with a XUL wrapper around the actual NPAPI plug-in; however, the actual NPAPI plug-in (pdfplugin.plugin) does work in Camino trunk (2.0a1pre) builds, too. Just download the .xpi file ("Install Now" link), rename the .xpi file to .zip, unzip it, and put the pdfplugin.plugin from the "plugins" folder in (~)/Library/Internet Plug-ins on your Mac and relauch Camino.
Some keyboard shortcuts (arrow keys/pgUp/Dn/home/end for navigation) don't work, but scrolling with the scrollbar/trackpad works, as do zoom in/out (cmd-=/-). Selection of text and copy work, also. It's certainly usable, though.
Note the plug-in is not compatible with Camino 1.6.x (presumably it uses the new plug-in models introduced in Gecko 1.9), and it breaks the existing "auto-download" of pdfs in Camino 1.6.x on Intel Macs.

Some other notes:
• The plug-in doesn't seem to support standard PDF page/fragment identifiers
• It can occasionally eat the next/previous tab shortcuts
• If you switch back and forth between 1.6.x and 2.0a1pre builds and don't want to kill 1.6.x's ability to download PDFs, you can store the plug-in in the 2.0a1pre Camino.app/Contents/MacOS/plugins folder

Very cool, thanks for the tip!

There is no dark side of the moon, really. As a matter of fact, it's all dark.
Also, note that the author of this plug-in is releasing new versions very quickly, so be sure to check back there for updates. The latest version fixes some keyboard nav bugs (but between the plug-in and focus bugs in Gecko 1.9, it's hard to tell what's a bug in the plug-in and what's just horribly broken in Gecko For instance, while the arrow keys now work, in order to get them to work you have to explicitly click in the plug-in content, but that has the unfortunate result of eating the tab-switching shortcuts 100% of the time, and then triggering known Gecko/Cocoa widgets plug-in bugs).

In the last few days there have been a few new builds (after a three month period without any activity). However, when I tried the newest version (0.9.9.5), Camino crashed when opening a PDF.
Fortunately, there seems to be an easy fix, if a rather ugly one
The author has changed how he does certain things in the newer versions and, rather than using the plug-in API, is using XPCOM, which means he's added a bunch of files.
The only way to use the plug-in now is to perform surgery on Camino itself.
1) Download the latest version from http://code.google.com/p/firefox-mac-pdf/ ("Install PDF Plugin" link)
2) Rename the .xpi file .zip (so Mac OS X will know how to expand it) and double-click to extract the files
3) Copy the "pdfplugin.plugin" file into Camino.app/Contents/MacOS/plugins
4) Copy the contents of the "components" folder into Camino.app/Contents/MacOS/components
N.B. You will need to repeat this procedure any time you install or upgrade Camino.
See the previous posts for some of the known problems with the plug-in in Camino.
Edited to supply a better step-by-step set of instructions

So it better not to upgrade? or is the upgrade worth it?
I just tried installing this following Uncle Asad's instructions for 0.9.9.5. I put the pdfplugin.plugin file in Camino.app/Contents/MacOS/plugins, and the contents of the components folder inside the xpi in Camino.app/Contents/MacOS/components.
Nevertheless, each time I click on a PDF link Camino crashes. Do any of you have this working? Or does anyone have an old version that they could perhaps send to me?
I could not get it to work either.
You can use the bookmarklet below and use PDFMENOT online flash to open in browser. The bookmarklet creates a link next to any pdf link on a webpage. Click it and it will open in PDFMENOT.
ex. http://www.letterfu.com/letters/plain-lilac-letter.pdf
Put bookmarkelet in bookmark bar and click it. A PDF link appears in Camino next to example link.
Very cool! Thanks for the tip.
It works for me; I don't have any idea why it's not working for you
In my experimenting (and ozean's report above), the crashes came about because the stuff that belongs in Camino.app/Contents/MacOS/components/ was missing. Perhaps double-check that you have PDFplugin.xpt, PDFService.js, and PDFService.xpt in Camino.app/Contents/MacOS/components/ ?
In the end, because of all the focus/plug-in bugs in Gecko 1.9 and the new hackery required to install it, it's not a very elegant solution even when it is working, which is unfortunate. If you're on PPC, I think you're probably far better off with the ancient Schubert plug-in; on Intel, simply downloading the PDF, clicking Open, and then clicking Trash when you're done if you don't want the PDF is still a more effective workflow.

This instantly crashes the nightly (Version 2.0b1pre (188.8.131.52pre 2008103000)) upon loading a pdf file on my machine.
I was able to get it to work using the version that "stardomains" linked to. The new version crashes Camino without fail.

Adorable Adonia: Adonia Cruise Review by jennym1
Overall Member Rating
Adorable Adonia
Destination: Europe - Western Mediterranean
Embarkation: Southampton
As Adonia is small you must realise that the buffet restaurant, the Conservatory, is not open every evening and that dress code is in place across the ship after 6pm. It is a very traditional ship and in our 17 More nights we had 5 formal nights. It was great to see everyone dressed up and even on smart casual nights there were some very smart outfits around. With the Conservatory not being available as an alternative as on bigger ships beware if you do not want to join in the black tie evenings as one couple found to their cost. We ate a couple of times at the Grill the speciality restaurant and found it excellent well worth the surcharge, unlike other ships we have been on.
The cabins may be a little on the small side and the showers even smaller but unless you are really not very mobile this should not make things difficult. In fact the effectiveness of the cabin steward and the luxurious feel of the cabins more than made up for the size.
The entertainment was good but different with the 5 amazing Headliners who performed shows both together and separately The tenor Gary was especially good. We also had guest speakers on a whole variety of topics but the best was Sue Holderness ( Marlene from fools and horses ) who not only did the story of her acting career but a great talk on the history of navigation watches linked obviously to the fortune gained by Del and Rodney in only fools. Films too were available in the Curzon lounge which was the venue for most of the entertainment
We missed the last port La Coruna because of a 8-9 force storm. The ship was fine in these winds although I must admit I couldn't face dinner that night but many people made it!
The majority of our fellow cruises were in an older age group and at times it felt a little overpowering and we are retired! There were too the typical whingers who seemed to be determined to spoil their holiday by constantly complaining about everything from the amount of walking (on a walking tour) to the lack of balance of the knives ( yes really ) and everything in between. However the vast majority of our fellow passengers were friendly, chatty and great to be with.
The Adonia is for you if you want a feel of a luxury country hotel/ gentleman's club with traditional furniture and charm. There were no queues, always sunbeds available and everything relaxing and low key. If you want high activity, lavish shows, a casino or a cinema - it's not for you.
We really enjoyed our cruise on Adonia and visited some good destinations in a comfortable and friendly little ship Less

With all that you hear in the local and world news, you might think to yourself, "Can I really make a difference?" The answer is an emphatic "yes!"
Every day, members of your community are working to make a difference. Whether it is a small group gathering in Orange to assemble Blessing Bags to give to those in need, or a group dressed as pirates hosting a diamond dig during the recent Dana Point Festivals of Whales.
Orange County is home to about 2,000 such difference makers.
In communities from Los Alamitos to San Clemente, from La Mirada to Newport, these groups meet weekly to network, plan service projects, discuss international and community issues, and have fun.
Who are these people? They are your insurance broker, your Realtor, your dentist and your child's teacher. They are Rotarians, members of the oldest service group in the world, Rotary International.
Rotary International is a global network of community volunteers, and a great place to meet some of the most interesting, involved and inspiring people you'll find anywhere. Rotary International has more than 1.2 million members in 33,000 clubs worldwide. Rotary club members (Rotarians) are volunteers who work locally, regionally, and internationally to combat hunger, improve health and sanitation, provide education and job training, promote peace, and eradicate polio.
Contrary to some misconceptions, Rotary is not a good old boys club. Oh, we have our share of boys, but we also have many great women members.
There are also Rotaract clubs for younger professionals 18 to 30, and younger people 12 to 18 can join Interact.
Rotary work is focused in on six areas:
Peace and conflict prevention and resolution: Rotarians are involved in training leaders to mediate conflict. They work to support peace-building locally and globally. Rotary International also supports studies for people pursuing careers related to peace and conflict prevention and resolution.
Disease prevention and treatment: Rotarians work to improve the capacity of local health care. They promote disease prevention, with the goal of limiting the spread of disease, with programs such as End Polio Now.
Water and sanitation: Rotarians support programs that increase access to safe water, improve sanitation systems, and increase awareness of the benefits of safe water, sanitation and hygiene.
Maternal and child health: Rotarians work to reduce the mortality and morbidity rate for children under the age of five, and to improve access to essential medical services.
Basic education and literacy: Rotarians work to ensure that all people have access to basic education by supporting programs that strengthen the capacity of communities to provide basic education and literacy, and by working to reduce gender disparity in education.
Economic and community development: Rotarians invest in people by building the capacity of entrepreneurs, community leaders, local organizations, and community networks to support economic development in impoverished communities.
So the next time you find yourself asking if you can really make a difference, remember that there are other like-minded individuals doing just that.
You can truly think globally and act locally through Rotary. Get started today.

A Machine-To-Machine "Internet Of Things"
For years, tech visionaries have spun dreams of a world of connected, communicating machines -- what they call the Internet of Things. Some gurus predict that within a few years, there could be more gizmos chattering away over the Net than there are people. New wireless technologies such as Wi-Fi and ZigBee that can link computers, consumer electronics, vehicles, and millions of other devices are vastly speeding the process. "This is going to be very big," says Ian Barkin, managing director of researcher FocalPoint Group in San Francisco. By 2008, he figures, machine-to-machine (M2M) communication could drive a $180 billion annual business in hardware, software, and services, up from about $34 billion today.
These talkative devices need an on-ramp to the Internet to share their information. And that's where mobile-phone companies see opportunity. Equipment makers such as Nokia Corp. (NOK ) and Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications are churning out tiny cellular radios that cost as little as $30 -- half the price of a few years ago -- that can be built into everything from cars to home heart monitors. Once fitted, the devices could send status reports or cries for help. Large mobile operators such as Sprint PCS Group (PCS ) and Singapore Telecommunications (SGTSY ) are waking up to the market. FocalPoint thinks carriers could score $2.5 billion in revenues this year and $10 billion in 2008 from transmitting M2M data.
Nobody has pursued machine-to-machine communications harder than France Télécom's (FTE ) mobile subsidiary, Orange. On Apr. 8, the company rolled out an ambitious program called M2M Connect that offers lower data prices and a suite of software tools to help European companies jump on the M2M bandwagon. It's a big step from a few years ago, when overpriced services and immature technology made M2M a nonstarter for carriers. Philippe Bernard, vice-president of Orange Business Solutions, figures M2M applications could hit 20% of the company's data traffic in three years.
Large corporations already are discovering new applications for wireless. Nestlé (NSRGY ) is installing hundreds of ice-cream vending machines in France and England that send daily reports on their sales and notify drivers if they're running low on Maxibon sandwiches or Extrême cones. Canadian train and plane maker Bombardier Inc. (BBD.B ) has fitted 1,000 railcars in Britain with radio devices that transmit reams of preventive maintenance data. And Dutch giant Royal Philips Electronics (PHG ) wants to put wireless links in all of its products, from entertainment gear to medical systems. It's even developing technology that links light fixtures using ZigBee radios. That will let companies monitor and control usage without building costly wired networks. ZigBee systems can even be tied into the mobile network. That way, if the lights are left on over the weekend, the building manager could be notified with a text message on his mobile phone -- and he could message back to turn them off.
Making big M2M applications fly is still tricky. The toughest problem is tying scads of connected gizmos into legacy corporate-data systems. Solving this problem is spurring companies to collaborate. Software giant SAP (SAP ) struck a partnership with Coca-Cola Enterprises Inc. (CCE ) in February to help it link a new automated bottle-delivery system to its central databases. And Nokia is teaming with Hewlett-Packard Co. (HPQ ) to develop computer systems that are better able to track and manage wireless-enabled assets.
In the end, companies likely will harness a mix of wireless systems. Packages in the back of a truck might talk to the driver using a ZigBee network, sending a warning if something tips over or breaks. At the loading dock, signals could be gathered and sent to tracking systems via Wi-Fi. On the road, the data would phone home over the cellular network. It's that enticing mix of local and remote communications, all seamlessly linked together, that's inspiring a rush to construct the new Internet of Things.

Drese's MRI reveals flexor tendon strain
Drese's MRI reveals flexor tendon strain
Following Monday's exam, Dr. Lewis Yocum -- in conjunction with Nationals orthopedist Dr. Ben Shaffer and medical director Dr. Bruce Thomas -- recommended that Drese begin a rehab program on the right elbow upon return to Washington, D.C., on Friday.
In the bottom of the fifth inning and with two outs on Friday night, Marlins first baseman Mike Jacobs stepped up to the plate and, with the count 0-2, Drese couldn't throw another pitch. Pitching coach Randy St. Claire walked to the mound for the second time in the inning. Suddenly, St. Claire looked into the dugout and out came manager Frank Robinson, who motioned for left-hander Joey Eischen in the bullpen.
This is Drese's second injury in less than a year. Last season, he missed most of September because of a cartilage tear in his right shoulder.
In the meantime, left-hander Billy Traber is expected to replace Drese in the rotation and will pitch against the Phillies on Thursday.

Brazil savor increased confidence after China win
By Tales Azzoni ,AP Thursday, September 13, 2012, 12:02 am TWN
SAO PAULO -- For Brazil, there's no better way to appease disgruntled fans than with a flurry of goals. That's why a thrashing of China was just what the team needed to boost its confidence and bring supporters back to its side.
Brazil beat China 8-0 in a friendly at home on Monday, and players left the field applauded by fans just three days after hearing loud jeers following an unimpressive 1-0 win over South Africa, a result that increased pressure on coach Mano Menezes.
The coach said the boos from fans in Sao Paulo upset players and gave them extra motivation to play harder and get the big win against China in Recife.
"We came into this match with a positive anger," Menezes said. "And you need some of that to become a winning team. We had to transform that into positive energy and we did. We answered by playing good football."
He added: "We received some fair criticism in the last few days and we knew we could do better. And that's what we did."
Menezes and the players acknowledged that China didn't pose much of a threat and created no significant difficulties for Brazil, but they said the convincing victory helped show fans that they can trust the national team.
"We knew that China wasn't too strong, but what mattered the most was the way how we played, our attitude," said Neymar, one of the players jeered the most in the match against South Africa. "This is how we should always play, taking control of the match from the start."
Neymar scored three times on Monday, and Brazil also got goals from Ramires, Lucas, Oscar and Hulk. Chinese defender Liu Jianye scored an own goal.
Daniel Alves, one of the players who criticized the fans' behavior in Sao Paulo, said that if Brazil keeps playing well it will continue to enjoy the support from the stands.
"The example needs to come from us," the Barcelona right back said. "We are the ones playing for the national team right now, we need to answer the critics positively by playing well like we did against China. We are united in our quest. We know it won't be easy, but if everybody is together, it will be a lot easier."
Brazil is trying to put a team together ahead of next year's Confederations Cup and World Cup at home.
The victory against China helped reduce the criticism against Menezes ahead of the upcoming matches against South American rival Argentina. Menezes heard from the fans against South Africa every time he left the bench to instruct his players.
The pressure for his resignation had significantly increased after he failed to lead Brazil to the gold medal at the London Games despite having most of his top players available.
Brazil will play the Superclassic of the Americas, a home-and-away series against the Argentines, on Sept. 19 and Oct. 3, and then will face Japan in a friendly in Poland on Oct 16.

49th Annual Honor Choir Festival and Teacher Enrichment Day: Friday, October 14, 2016
High School Mixed Honor Choir, Jim Papoulis, conductor
The festival will begin with rehearsals on Friday, October 14, at 9 a.m. and will culminate in a concert beginning at 5 p.m. This concert is free and open to the public! Throughout the day we will feature conductor enrichment workshops, performances, and more.
Registration deadline is Wednesday, September 14, 2016.
How can University of Miami's Honor Choir enrich students' learning?
"I can speak from personal experience, because my very first honor choir was at UM. Being around other wonderful musicians helped me to determine this is what I was passionate about, and I am certain it was the foundation for my going on to become a music teacher."
Jessica Napoles, University of Utah
Honor Choir Alumnus and 2011 Middle School Mixed Choir Clinician
"It will give participants an opportunity to perform music with people who share a common bond: a love of singing. Because of this common bond, we will be able to reach levels of artistry that might not have been possible in a different group of people."
Dr. Corin Overland, University of Miami
2012 Middle School Mixed Choir Clinician
"Coming together and singing with other high school students and a guest clinician really enhances each student's list of life's experiences."
Merrilee Webb, Dixie State College
2012 High School Women's Choir Clinician
"Any time students come together for a festival they will learn new ideas and concepts that they can take back to their own school and share. It not only enriches their individual learning, but puts them in a place to be leaders in their own communities."
Dr. Matthew Mehaffey, University of Minnesota
2011 High School Mixed Choir Clinician
How do choral directors benefit from UM Honor Choir?
"UM HONOR choir provides a catalyst of sharing with colleagues in a setting that is enriching not only to the students we bring but also within the relationships among the educators. I go away every year with a new and refreshed perspective just from the one day event. It is a worthwhile day that culminates in a performance that is very rewarding to witness. It has provided the opportunity to get together with other colleagues and establish great networking opportunities and lifelong associations. I look forward to it every year."

How the NRA Undermined Congress' Last Push for Gun Control
We reconstruct how the NRA advanced two measures long on its agenda in the wake of the 2007 Virginia Tech shooting.
78 comments
More selectivity I see….
you:"but do think we should strengthen the background check system (as do about 92% of Americans), then tell him you don't support one, but do support the other."
Ruger: "Your focus should be on strengthening mental health care and improving the quality of data supporting NICs checks (National Instant Criminal Background Check System)."
Conflict of interests is unavoidable. Im completely fine with some if it will help support my beliefs. Ruger is an amazing company even if it didn't make guns, its customer service is top notch.
Some one seems a little upset that Ruger created an easy and ingenious way to contact all the representatives. No need to scour gov. website for email address. Here an expert from one of the many responses:
"I do not doubt Senator Feinstein's and Rep. DeGette's sincerity, but I believe these standards are best left to state and local governments. However, I am in favor of improving the federal gun background check system through legislation that would strengthen the screening process for people who have a record of past criminal activities or mental illness. "

"Ruger Take Action Now!"
You can contact all your reps within 2 minutes or less.
Perhaps it might be helpful to go to the primary source of concerns regarding white house efforts to promote legislation geared towards improving gun safety. When we get our information second hand, we expect to get an interpreted (biased and shortened) version unless sources are cited and the recipient actually reads through it for content and validity.
It will take 33 minutes, 31 seconds to watch: "Fireside Hangout" with Vice President Biden on Reducing Gun Violence"
A question and answer format with the questioners focusing on different aspects of the debate, including assault weapons, mental health issues, law enforcement concerns, video games and lack of research to determine whether they're causal in violence, lack of funding, hamstrung abilities to do the research needed, extended clips, the need for states to take initiative and not rely on national (central) government for all solutions, etc.
"Some one seems a little upset that Ruger created an easy and ingenious way to contact all the representatives. No need to scour gov. website for email address."
Not ingenious in the slightest. Ruger has taken their playbook from activist organizations which have all long employed "easy" access and prepared messages which directly and routinely target and bombard our reps:
"Move On", "People for the American Way", "Mayors Against Illegal Guns", "The Daily Kos", Coalition to Stop Gun Violence", Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence", "The Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence", and many, many more.
What separates these organizations from Ruger is the fact that ALL organizations which support measures to increase legislation to promote gun safety are NON-PROFIT. They need supporter donations to survive.
Ruger is a corporation. They don't ask for or need your money to promote their message. The costs of running their website campaign is chump change. They want your support to serve their own interests which is continuing business as usual.
Old Joe? He showed his ignorance of facts….
"A shotgun would keep you a lot safer – a double barrel shotgun – than the assault weapon in somebody's hand who doesn't know how to use it, even one who does know how to use it.
You know. *Points to the camera*
It's harder to use an assault weapon to hit something than it is a shotgun. So, if you want to keep people away in an earthquake, buy some shotgun shells."
HAHA! That keeps making me laugh. Thanks for bringing it up again.
You know what really separates those website from Rugers Take Action Now set up? Not a single one you listed has easy access to contact all my reps all the way up the entire line, if at all. I didn't see any obvious links, let alone something so perfectly set up as what Ruger did.
You're just upset and its getting funnier.

"Ruger Take Action Now!"
You can contact all your reps within 2 minutes or less.
The purpose of your Rugers "Take Action Now petition" is to contact your congressional representatives - thus the automatic contact process is included. Once you provide your zip code, they know who your reps are and they do all the legwork. When you visited the websites I suggested, you didn't find petitions - thus have no clue as to how they're conducted - thus concluded, without any evidence, that they're not as efficient and easy to use as your Ruger petition. The recipients of petitions aren't always the same. Some are directed to senators only, some are directed to all reps, including state reps. Again, all of our representatives are identified through the use of our zip code. The PURPOSE of the petition determines WHO will be contacted. Once you've submitted your email address, the organizations behind the petitions come to your inbox. You no longer need to go find them.
Here are three of the many, many petitions out there which might help you educate yourself. The Brady petition directs concerns to senators. The other three are directed to the white house.
The Brady Campaign: "Contact Your U.S. Senators
Take Action, Support Efforts by Senator Feinstein and Congress to Reduce Gun Deaths" My name is on it.
The Daily Kos began the petition which asked Obama to start the conversation about gun control. It's not closed even though the objective has been reached. "Daily Kos Now is the time to talk gun control" My name is on it.
The "We the People" White House Gun Control Petition Became the Site's Most Popular Ever "Immediately address the issue of gun control through the introduction of legislation in Congress." (The petition is closed since the objective was reached. My name is on it)
What you may find interesting is that the "We the People" petition process is the ability for any one of us to start a petition on the White House site. You might find the one created by an anti 1st amendment NRA Nut which got a lot of traction: "we petition the Obama administration to: Deport British Citizen Piers Morgan for Attacking 2nd Amendment" (Anger at CNN reporter Piers Morgan because he's a Brit and had the audacity to use his CNN perch to compare the high gun violence rates in this country to the low rates in England). (It's was closed after Obama responded to it.) Obviously, I did not sign it. I suspect you may have or would have if you'd known about it.
There will be many more petitions coming up. It's a hot topic. :)
"thus concluded, without any evidence,"
Why are you even arguing with me about that? I'll admit its entertaining, but you pick some odd battles….You even said they take the legwork out…making it easier, more efficient, and more personal than signing a petition. Ruger sends the letter with your personal email as the sender, I've gotten replies from every recipient with my name in their response. Now I send them all a more personal note.
Much more effective than a petition.
Good luck with those by the way!

Please read this article: "The calculus of genocide" Acceptance of gun control and registration have historically proven to be a stupid and suicidal move by the masses of a free land.
You fear the gun because you are not familiar with them, probably never even held one. You should come to terms with your fear and realize that they are a lot less scary when they are the last thing between you and a concentration camp.
Inline with previous requests to folks like you, I ask that, once you succeed in destroying my constitutional right to keep and bear arms, you permanently wear a shirt that states, " I Hate John Wayne". When they come to round you up, all gun owners that are left will know not to waste a bullet trying to save your treasonous hide.
Funny Kerri mentioned John Wayne. Was just reading Gunfight on DC vs Heller. In it the author covers quite a bit of gun history, including the fact that nearly every western town in the late 1800's had strict gun control bans, including "notorious" towns like Dodge and Tombstone.
You checked your guns at the town limits, or often left them with your horse at the stable.
As such, and in it's worst year, Tombstone had exactly 8 deaths due to firearms, and that included the OK Corral. Not exactly the picture of an independent and wild but polite society based on a well-armed populace that we've been fed by Hollywood.
John Wayne strutting around with two-six-shooters in a double holster and carrying a rifle, Liberty Valance-style? Nope. John would have been thrown in jail.
In short, the "masses of a free land" have long had regulations controlling exactly when, where, and what you could carry.
Kerri has come late into the conversation and has addressed me with some assumptions. I have had guns in the past (rifle and shotgun) and, having lived on a farm then, used them on large livestock, predators, and game. Since I now live in an urban area, I no longer own any guns. Perhaps reading through what has been already been said here might be useful, since nothing has been said by any of us which indicates we want to take away all your guns nor brought up the possibility that we'll all end up dead or living in concentration camps.
John Wayne was a movie star. I have no idea why I would be compelled to either love or hate him. He played roles based on scripts written for him by hollywood screen writers. I wasn't fond of his politics. If we're into picking out Hollywood personalities who echo our politics, I would probably pick George Clooney. Definitely didn't like Charleton Heston, or that "Make my Day" guy who yelled at an empty chair during the GOP convention.
" When they come to round you up, all gun owners that are left will know not to waste a bullet trying to save your treasonous hide." Who are "they", and what is "treasonous" about my point of view? Oh, I get it… YOU'RE the guys who've determined we're treasonous.
As a Virginia lawyer and an acknowledged expert on firearms law, I can tell you that it is not true that someone can get their firearms rights back, after being ordered by involuntary commitment to in-patient treatment or being ordered to mandatory outpatient tratment, by writing to the state. It requires a petition to the General District Court where they reside and senting a copy to the Commonwealth's Attorney. See Section 18.2-308.1:3, Code of Virginia, 1950, as amended. The New York Times is quite simply in error. It is time to issue a retraction.
By the way, Virginia leads the nation in mental health reporting.
I have read the New York Times article you reference. There is nothing about people being able to get their gun rights restored by writing the statte. If you were in court and made such a statement under oath we would call it perjury.
It is people like you that are dangerous. You state falsehoods and cite in error sources to make your argument.
The Times article refers to a county next door to me. I know the judge and the Commonwealth's Attorneys involved. It refers to a hearing before a General District Court judge; just like I mentioned above.
I cannot help but wonder how many people have fooled by your article.
Mr. Sapien: When are you going to admit that you misrepresented the law in Virginia? All I can say is for shame.
"Senate Democratic leaders expect a gun bill to move to the Senate floor that includes most of the proposals backed by President Barack Obama, with the notable exception of a ban on military-style, semiautomatic weapons, a top aide to Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada said."

@Rich: You're on the record as saying…
"There will be no Assault Weapons ban, probably won't be a magazine ban either. It does not have the support need[ed]. Universal background checks, probably, and for good reason."
So. You've said an AWB is stupid. I've said it was stupid. And it appears that they're not doing it.
They are doing universal checks and several other things, which I've been promoting and to which you're quoted as agreeing with both here and on another article.
In short. They're doing what we think they should do.
So why slam "the lefties" for doing what we both agreed that we should do, and why the continued link to a site whose default letter says "do nothing at all"?
Or are you just a NRA shill?
Im slamming them for the original agenda, not whats happening now, re-read for comprehension.
And since you haven't notice, I really don't care what you perceive me as, it entertains me to get any response, thanks for strolling right in again.
They also aren't doing what YOU think they should do, so stop acting like that's all you wanted to see happen…I won't quote your extensive list….Universal background checks may not even happen either.

Michael, I admire you for continuing to try to work with Rich through the use of impeccable logic. It's rather obvious by now Rich prefers conflict to resolution, does not read for content in his own posts (much less that of others) thus attempts at conversation to find common ground are circular and pointless.
My concern lies with how future legislation is debated. Legislation will have to go through the Senate - and as you know, Harry Reid, who has an "A" rating with the NRA, recently caved in on filibuster reform.
Today The Daily Kos sent out a petition to ask Reid to re-open filibuster reform in view of recent GOP threats to filibuster any nominee to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau unless Democrats agree to gut the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's power to actually protect consumers.
It's been my opinion that Harry is fearful of the gun lobby, and that the upcoming Senate gun control debate had everything to do with his decision to do nothing about filibuster reform.
I'm not trying to "convert" Rich. I'm simply pointing out the inconsistency of his various positions to all of the others who might read them or follow the conversation.
And I agree about the legislation. If you care about the matter write (don't email) your representative, Reid, and others. Or even better, call them.
Email petitions are a dime a dozen.
Hey you have someone who admires you for something your not really trying to….haha I love it.
Dime a dozen my bootay, I got a phone call FROM my rep to talk about the issue. Another separate reply asking to set up a meeting for lunch or coffee to discuss it.
Both of your frustrations are showing through hard now. Keep it coming.

If either of you really wanted to make gains together, you would have emailed each other and continued this conversation there. Instead you come back when I want you to in attempts to grand stand your position and logic against my endless comments transparently out of pure frustration.

Contact your reps! Protect your 2nd amendment rights!
Online petitions in a variety of forms can work. A woman in her 20′s started a petition to get Bank of America to stop its plan to charge a $5 fee for debt card users, More than 300,000 people signed it (I was one of them), and the fee plan was eliminated.
The petition process educates people, and more of us are more aware of more issues as a result of petitions that end up in our inboxes.
The "Move Your Money" campaign a few years ago actually got me off my duff, prompted me to do what I had long known I should. So I went through the process involved in switching from BOA to a non-profit credit union bank. I was only one in hundreds of thousands who joined in that same effort.
Public pressure via properly done online petitions work, especially when the signee provides his/her full name and address. EG: Common Cause petition to tell corporations to withdraw from ALEC. If you google "List of members of the American Legislative Exchange Council" and look up "Former Corporate Members" you will find the huge list of companies which recently resigned membership - and a few of those are denying ever having been members. I doubt the NRA (long a member in good standing) will succumb to any pressure from Common Cause to disassociate itself.
Yes, effective petitions to government requires our disclosure of full name, address, and require us to follow up by making phone calls to the right reps. A lot of us do just that. They are a valid part of the entire process in educating ourselves on the issues and following through with action.
"Instead you come back when I want you to in attempts to grand stand your position and logic against my endless comments transparently out of pure frustration."
Project much?
And from my perspective, you're the one who keeps returning… (grin)
Well when petitions are in favor of something you want, they work. When you are not in favor of something they call for, they don't work at all and are a dime a dozen.
lets see…will you reply to this comment? I bet so…did you reply on this section before I did? Nope….so it must be you who is returning…will you argue with me about that? Most likely….HAHAH your both hilarious.
this website is inconsistent with its link screening lol.

what a stupid comment! Its actually kind of funny.
"He added that the private sales of the missile launch tube and other weapons illustrate the need for comprehensive background checks as proposed by President Barack Obama"
Because the missile launcher was originally obtained legally right? and a background check would have prevented that…
Maybe the military should just keep tabs on its missile launchers better.
No assault weapons ban, no high capacity magazine ban, no universal background checks. They won't happen and you know it.

This Singer sewing machine trash bucket funny enough was found in the trash!
In perth we have verge side collection and it caught my eye while driving past. so pleased I stopped and had a look, I dont think that it is origional because it was made in hongkong but to be honest I dont know much about it. I think its great considering I was brought up playing with a singer sewing machine when I was a child.

DETROIT - Detroit City Council President Charles Pugh got into an argument through social networks this past weekend.
Pugh was criticized over the weekend by The Detroit News columnist Laura Berman for his weight loss video which he released this past Friday while the city's leaders were deciding Corporation Counsel Krystal Crittendon's future.
Berman skewered Pugh for showing off his washboard abs, calling them "absurd" given the city's troubles.
Michigan State University student and Automotive News intern Josh Sidorowicz agreed and tweeted, "Wow, love this little piece.
Too bad @Charles_Pugh has been such a disappointment for the city of Detroit so far."
The City Council president couldn't resist, firing back with, "Yep, a huge disappointment. Just a downright lose LOL."
Sidorowicz didn't appreciate Pugh's jab, and returned with, "Well now you've just put words in my mouth. I didn't say that at all. It was more or less a question of priorities, that's all."
Pugh shot back with, "My priorities are appropriate. If Laura reported on what they actually are & not my abs, maybe u'd be more informed."
The war was on.
Sidorowicz: Some would disagree your celebrity status & personal agenda has taken priority over helping the city. Laura seemed accurate.
There was more back and forth ending with Pugh getting nasty.
"Josh, do you think the folks at Automotive News would be interested in your inaccurate, offensive commentary? Just curious?" Pugh tweeted.
In fact, Pugh did just that. He tweeted the following at Automotive News' account:
"I'd appreciate a word to your intern Josh Sidorowicz about his offensive posts to my page. It doesn't represent you well."
Local 4 tried to reach Pugh for comment several times. He did not return our requests.
Automotive News would not make Sidorowicz available. However, Local 4 has confirmed he did not lose his internship as a result of the City Council president's concerns.

Celebrate Pinkster with African Burial Ground National Monument
Pinkster was a religious holiday celebrated throughout the Colonial period that was also associated with the coming of spring. Its name is derived from the Dutch word "Pinksteren" which means Pentecost or the Seventh Sunday after Easter.
Pinkster was not well observed for most of the 20th Century, but since resuming Pinkster celebrations the 1970s, New Yorkers have held Pinkster festivals in New York and the surrounding areas.Today, Pinkster is recognized as the oldest African-American holiday of the original 13 colonies that became the United States of America. The African influence on Pinkster dates from the 15th Century in the Bantu regions of Congo and Angola.
African Burial Ground National Monument and the African American Pinkster Committee of New York (AAPCNY) will hold a commemorative celebration from 2 to 4 p.m. on Saturday, June 14, 2014. The celebration, which will take place at the site's outdoor memorial, will feature the pouring of libations, lectures, songs, performances, reading of proclamations, and the laying of flowers on the burial mounds. Additionally, artist Andrew Markus Bell will display his work in the visitor center.
About African Burial Ground National Monument
The African Burial Ground is recognized as the oldest and largest known African cemetery excavated in North America. It extends for 6.6 acres, and it is estimated that approximately 15,000 enslaved and free Africans are buried within its boundaries. On February 27, 2006, the African Burial Ground was designated a National Monument by Presidential Proclamation, making it the 390th national park site to be managed by the National Park Service, an agency of the United States Department of the Interior.
The African Burial Ground National Monument is located on the first floor of the Ted Weiss Federal Building located at 290 Broadway in Lower Manhattan; close to Foley Square and just north of City Hall. The cross streets are Duane Street and Reade Street. The national park site consists of an indoor visitor center and exhibition along with an outdoor memorial. The visitor center is open Tuesday through Saturday, 10 a.m.- 4 p.m. The outdoor memorial is open Monday through Saturday, 9 a.m.- 5 p.m. Both the indoor visitor center and outdoor memorial are closed on Thanksgiving and Christmas Day.
The African Burial Ground National Monument is accessible by public transportation. Driving and parking in New York City is significantly more difficult. If you are driving on the east side of Manhattan- leave Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) Drive at the City Hall exit. Proceed west to Broadway. If you are on the west side of Manhattan-leave the West Side Highway/West Street at Chambers Street. Drive east on surface streets until you reach Broadway. The African Burial Ground National Monument is located just north of City Hall at 290 Broadway.
