RiverFest rolls into St. Albert
Take some trash, plant a tree to help Sturgeon
Saturday, May 03, 2014 06:00 am
Clean and Green RiverFest
Visit www.stalbert.ca/cleanup for details.
Hundreds of residents will celebrate Mother�s Day this month with trees and trash as the city�s annual Sturgeon River cleanup returns to St. Albert.
The 17th annual Clean and Green RiverFest event is this May 11 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The event draws hundreds of residents down to the Sturgeon each year to collect trash and plant shoreline vegetation as part of the River Edge Enhancement Project (REEP).
Up to 500 people have attended the event in past years.
This year�s event will once again take place behind St. Albert Centre mall by the Sturgeon River, said city community recreation co-ordinator Margo Brenneis.
All you have to do to take part is come down to the registration desk at the site. City staff will give you gloves, bags, and a zone to patrol, in which you�ll be able to pick up as much trash as you can find.
Residents should flag any items that are sharp, heavy or dangerous for later collection by city workers, Brenneis said. They should also keep out of the river itself, as it may be dangerous.
Participants can also learn about different eco-initiatives at the event�s Environmental Fair, and take in free entertainment from some on-site buskers and children�s games.
�What we�re trying to do this year is tie it in a little bit more with Mother�s Day,� Brenneis said.
The first 100 mothers who come to the event will get a free carnation. Kids can also make mom a clay sculpture at the crafts station.
Or you can give a living Mother�s Day gift by stepping down to the nearby REEP planting site, located this year just east of the St. Albert Centre pedestrian bridge.
REEP is an ongoing project backed by the city to restore riparian (shoreline) vegetation to the Sturgeon River, with an aim to filter pollutants from runoff and draw more birds to the region.
The idea is to do more than just plant a wall of vegetation along the river, said REEP spokesperson Nicholas Batchelor. �We want to encourage birds and aquatic fowls to come in and be nibbling on things.�
City arborist Kevin Veenstra has gathered about 500 plants for this year�s event, Batchelor said. On tap to plant are a variety of native species including white spruce, alder, willows, and saskatoons.
Attendees will get a plant, gloves, and a shovel, and be asked to plant their seedling in one of the many holes Veenstra will drill on site prior to the event. They�ll also get a small copper strip to write their names on to mark what they plant.
Residents can also donate $200 to the REEP project to plant one of a limited number of big spruce trees at the site, Batchelor said.
�They can put it in a place of proud possession, come back and show (future) generations where they planted their roots.�
REEP progress
REEP has now established about seven vegetated plots along the Sturgeon near St. Albert Centre, having started its work in 2005.
Many of the earlier plots were created by roto-tilling, which let invasive weeds take hold and shade out native plants.
�We really lost three or four years of growth when we used to roto-till,� Batchelor said, as the plants had to grow enough to crowd out the weeds. That�s why they drill holes for the plants now instead.
Past events have also had a shortage of healthy native plants with which to put into REEP areas, Batchelor said.
�It�s often very difficult to find the species you�re looking for.�
That�s why the group is setting up a native plant nursery this summer near the grain elevators.
The plan is to put about 200 large pots into the ground at the site this summer with a drip irrigation system to follow later, Veenstra said. Crews will grow native plants in the pots to keep the plants from rooting into the ground, making them easier to remove. Many of these initial plants will be ones already growing on the site.
The plants should be ready for use in local plantings in about five years, Batchelor said.
Batchelor said his favourite memory of the RiverFest is that moment where a little kid plants something for the first time.
�They usually have a huge grin plastered on their face as they finish,� he said. �It�s pretty infectious, and I get to see it every year.�


text: Most of Europe's major stock indexes ended the day lower. Only Germany and Greece bucked the trend.Europe has returned to investor's radars after several months of relative quiet. Stocks fell on Monday, partly because of a spike in borrowing costs for Italy and Spain. That reignited concerns that those countries won't be able to service their debts. Still, some say that the decline is more of a pullback than a sell-off. That will give investors a chance to buy stocks at lower prices in anticipation of the market resuming its rally. Stocks have jumped this year on optimism that the housing market will sustain its recovery and the job market will slowly heal. Corporate earnings growth has also accelerated. "There's really nothing new to worry about it," said Sam Stovall, chief equity strategist at S&P Capital IQ. As stocks fell Thursday, bonds rallied. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note, which moves inversely to its price, fell 1 basis point to 1.95 percent. Among other stocks making big moves: â¿¿ Akamai Technologies Inc., which helps websites deliver online content, plunged $6.32, or 15.2 percent, to $35.26, after revenue missed forecasts. â¿¿ Sprint Nextel Corp fell 3 cents, or 0.5 percent, to $5.74. The country's third-largest wireless carrier lost $1.3 billion in its latest quarter as it revamped its network to take on larger competitors. The company also lost 243,000 customers in contract-based plans. â¿¿ DeVry surged $4.29, or 16.4 percent, to $30.41 after the struggling for-profit education company reported better-than-expected earnings and analysts praised the its cost-cutting and restructuring efforts. â¿¿ Auto parts retailer O'Reilly Automotive jumped $7.45, or 8 percent, to $100 after earnings beat Wall Street forecasts.

Back in January, YouTube co-founder Chad Hurley confirmed plans to share revenue with users who upload original content to YouTube. At the time, he said not to expect it right away, but also not to expect one big release. Instead, the feature would be rolled out over the period of a few months.
Several sources are reporting that YouTube is now in fact ready to start rolling this feature out as soon as next week. Revenue would be split 50/50, and users will have the option of selecting whether they want the ads at the beginning or the end of their video.
This continues YouTube's quest to promote creativity which they thrive off of. Recent numbers indicate just how important original, creative, non-copyrighted material is for YouTube. While many people thought they really needed the big media to stay afloat, they've proven that they don't.
YouTube wouldn't be the first online video service to split revenue with their users. Revver and Metacafe have shared the wealth with their users, and some of them have made a pretty penny off of it. The more popular your video becomes, the more money you make — which will help push the creative content.
Also keep in mind that YouTube's filtering system is set to debut soon– perhaps "claim your content" and revenue sharing will be launched at the same time?

Please confirm that you want to add 10 Career Boosting Resolutions to your Wishlist.
Every year, many people explore New Year Resolutions. But I'm not here to talk about New Year Resolutions. I want to discuss changes that will boost your professional career to the next level. These career boosting tips will assure that you have a happy and prosperous career.
The purpose of this introductory course isn't to provide you with detail training. Instead, it tries to help you recognize and acknowledge some things you are unknowingly doing. The first step in correcting those traits is to recognize them.
Before we get started, please take a moment to outline what you are willing to do to achieve your career goals. Use this 1-page worksheet to help clarify your intentions.
Download the form from the supplementary materials section.
** Increased the audio on this video - but if you are having trouble with the audio of the video, please download the Zipinar Ebook (ebook with the presentation and speaker notes) to help.
10 Career Boosting Resolutions:
Below are the actual 10 Career Boosting Resolutions. We will talk about each separately (through
audios, videos, and various articles) in the IT Professional Development Toolkit.
1. Convey your mission to at least one person each day
2. Ask at least one person each day about their goals
3. Focus on the relationship you are building versus the detail IT task
4. Surround yourself with exciting and motivated people in IT
5. Create a network of supporters and collaborators that are in line and excited about your vision
6. Emphasize ethics, honesty and integrity in everything that you do
7. Elevate those around you
8. Be aware of the abundance of possibilities
9. Delegate or delete items that are not aligned with your goals
10. Acknowledge that everything is unfolding perfectly
Next Step: Sign up for the IT Professional Development Toolkit
3 resolutions job seekers should make
1) Increase your professional exposure in your social media.
2) Start clearly articulating your career goals to at least one person every day.
3) Ask other people about their career goals at least once a day.
The best way to follow-through on these things is to create a Marketing and Client Attraction Plan or an Individual Network Strategy (included in the Professional Development Toolkit). This plan outlines the type of people you want to network with, how often you want to network with them, and actually mark the dates/times on your calendar in which you will be doing these activities. Setting up an accountability partner (like a spouse, friend, business coach) such that you have an external commitment to follow-through is another way to stay on track.
If you are interested in this type of information, check out some of the online courses (many are free) at Udemy.

HOUSTON - Harris County sheriff's investigators are searching for the thieves who broke into a storage container behind a local church and got away with thousands of dollars worth of equipment.
It happened at around noon Monday at the Church of Champions on Cutten Road in northwest Harris County.
Church surveillance video shows two men getting out of a Ford F-150 pickup after backing up to the steel cargo container. Workers found the locks had been cut and more than $4,000 in equipment, including a welder and generator, were missing.
The surveillance video shows men loading up the equipment and driving off.
"I hope people return the stuff. If not, our church, we're a strong church," said church member Tremayne Dortch.
Volunteers were using the tools to build an obstacle course beside the church.
The equipment belongs to Sam Sann. Sann tried out for "Ninja Warrior," owns his own gym and wants to share his passion for fitness. He is building an obstacle course beside the church for the community.
"I guess there are a lot of desperate people out there," said Sann, of IronSport. "Just get a real job instead of going around stealing people's stuff."
If you recognize the men in the surveillance video, please call the Harris County Sheriff's Office or Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS. You can remain anonymous and could earn a cash reward.

Institute of Portland Metropolitan StudiesRSS Feed
Institutional Setting
The Institute was formed in 1992 under the leadership of Nohad A. Toulan, founding dean of the College of Urban and Public Affairs at Portland State University. The Institute is a research and services center within the college, but has an external governing board consisting of regional leaders and citizens.
The mission of the Institute of Portland Metropolitan Studies (IMS) is to advance the economic, environmental, and social goals of the Portland metropolitan region by gathering and disseminating credible information, convening regional partners, and stimulating dialogue and action about critical regional issues. In addition, IMS provides statewide information about demographic trends through the Population Research Center, which became affiliated with IMS in August of 2009.
Indicators Initiatives
The Institute is pursuing three related indicators initiatives:
- Greater Portland Pulse;
- A regional equity atlas;
- Neighborhood Pulse.
1. Greater Portland Pulse (http://www.portlandpulse.org/) Greater Portland Pulse Provides a common foundation for regional collaboration and informed decision making by tracking our region's social, economic, and environmental conditions. It educates users about regional priorities and provides information about the progress we are making toward these priorities. It does this through the provision of data, context, and by providing opportunities for dialogue.
GPP can be used in a number of ways including:
An Authoritative Source for Consensus-based Regional Outcomes and Related Indicators. Because of the process by which it was developed and the authority and neutrality of the university-based institution that maintains it (Institute of Portland Metropolitan Studies at Portland State University), the GPP outcomes and indicators reflect a widely accepted vision for the region measured by the best data available;
A "State of the Region" Measurement Tool. The GPP indicator process produced a measurement tool that includes expert-vetted indicators for each of the outcomes that are available via the portlandpulse.org website;
A Repository of Regional Indicators and Data. The GPP indicators and data are updated continuously and may be used for a wide variety of purposes including grant writing, policy development, and policy assessment.
3. The Regional Equity Atlas 2.0, published by the Coalition for a Livable Future, is a major research and education project to promote widespread opportunity for a stronger, healthier, and more sustainable region.
Using maps, policy analysis, community based research, and other tools, the Equity Atlas project assesses how well different populations across the four-county Portland-Vancouver metro region can access key resources necessary for meeting their basic needs and advancing their health and well-being.
IMS participated in the development of the original Equity Atlas data and the revisions of the data for version 2.
3. Neighborhood Pulse is a new initiative that will map smaller-geography data than that avaialble on Greater Portland Pulse. IMS is working with the neighborhood organizations and with PSU's Institute for Sustainable Solutions to identify neighborhood data most useful to those organizations working to improve their neighborhoods.

Robert Carling has done us all a favour simply by illuminating the rapidly accumulating cost of major new spending proposals since 2010.
Carling, a former Treasury official, has cast his light beyond the limited horizon of the four-year budget forward estimates. By 2020, he says, the annual cost of national disability insurance, the Gonksi education reform, and a clutch of other programs and commitments could be $30 billion.
Not all of these spending proposals are government policy, but many of them are, and most of the others command strong community and political support.
Carling's point is not that these programs are unworthy or unaffordable, but that they would have to be met by cutting expenditure or raising taxes.
A failure to properly budget for their cost could weaken the budget just as the government's finances are about to be affected by demographic change. The government's Intergenerational Report shows the budget sliding into long-term structural deficit in the mid 2020s.
There are several useful conclusions to be drawn from Carling's analysis. The government should make structural changes to spending or taxes to fully accommodate its major new programs.
There needs to be more transparency, with 10-year budget forward estimates to expose the full cost of new initiatives. And finally, we need reform of government spending and program evaluation to ensure value for money, and of taxation and the economy in general to carry the cost of new programs demanded by the public.

Heather McComb will earn $7,750 per month as part of the spousal support determined by Los Angeles County Superior Court.
Actor James Van Der Beek has agreed to pay his estranged wife Heather McComb $7,750 per month in spousal support. The couple split last year after six years of marriage and the former "Dawson's Creek" star filed for divorce in November.
As part of their split agreement, Van Der Beek has now agreed to make the monthly payments to McComb. Papers filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court also reveal that the actor will keep the couple's Hollywood home as well as all the movies, stories, scripts and screenplays he wrote during their union, reports TMZ.com.
James Van Der Beek makes an average of $50,000 a month according to the trade. He has two recurring roles on television, "One Tree Hill" and "Mercy". He has also completed a supporting role in "The Big Bang" which is slated to hit theaters in U.S. this year.

Very bad tooth ache after filling?
Started by Cat© , Jan 11 2013 11:27 PM
10 replies to this topic
Posted 11 January 2013 - 11:27 PM
Anyone else had it?
I had a filling taken out today and replaced as it was old and he said leaking and decaying behind the filling. Apparenlty it was fairly deep.
He put in amalgum, but also put ? a something cover to protect the nerve as I was worried about ho/cold conductivity as I have had it before with another filling.
Anyway, felt nothing during the procedure. But about 2 hours later the pain started (I guess once the needles wore off). Ive had two panadol rapid and they took the edge off but then four hours later its awful again.
My whole jaw aches badly, tooth and gum/bone. Im not yet in "ong I want to die" pain, but its VERY sore and Im not going to be able to sleep with this pain (have just taken two more panadol before bed).
its the kind of pain that will probably wake me during the night as it aches incrediably bad.
So is this normal after a deep filling? Will it perhaps go by tomorrow or has he hit a nerve or something? Is there anything I can do?
Posted 11 January 2013 - 11:36 PM
Nurofen might work better then panadol if you can take it.
I had a deep filling and gave it time to settle down but it never did so I had to have it taken out. I think they can either do that or a root canal depending on which tooth it is.
Oh and if you have any Vanilla extract try some if that on the tooth to help the pain
Posted 11 January 2013 - 11:36 PM
The only time that happened to me there was actually an abscess there that the dentist had overlooked.
Hope it's not that but I would be ringing the dentist anyway.
Posted 11 January 2013 - 11:37 PM
Ill be living on panadol and neurofen if it doesnt settle! lol
Panadol hasnt kicked in yet and OMG feels like someone has takne a chizel and hammer to my mouth now. I swear its getting worse by the minute.
Sure Im a woosy when it comes to mouth pain, but this is awful.
Posted 11 January 2013 - 11:40 PM
I had a very deep filling done in August. The dentist put in something to protect the nerve just as you described. I didn't have pain in it like you describe afterwards but was told that it will be highly sensitive for about 8 weeks afterwards. The sensitivity has not settled down - sensitivity to hot & cold, cant eat on that side, so I'm going in this week to start a root canal. Yay, not looking forward to it. If I were you, I would call the dentist in the morning and ask them whether you should expect this. Sometimes because they got close to the nerve it might take some time to settle, but I'd ring and ask what is 'normal' in case you need to be seen again.
Posted 11 January 2013 - 11:40 PM
Yep i have had that... i swear it was worse than the tooth ache, its all to do with the pressure changes in the tooth, and all the other work done... take panadol/nurofen and it does settle down after a few days, if not go back to see your dentist... he might have missed some of the root...
Posted 11 January 2013 - 11:44 PM
Your nerve may be dying, and the new filling could have aggregated it.
My dentist said to me that nerves either die rapidly and violently, or slowly and quitely
Either way, hopefully your dentist will be open tomorrow and you can call first thing.
Do you have a heat pack you could use tonight?

I thought the nerves were left in tact as it was just a filling, not a root canal or anything, just a standard filling. Only took him about 20 mins to do.

Yes he wouldnt have touched the nerve but it might be close. Hopefully it's just irritated the nerve and it settles down. I'd try nurofen plus when you can get some and ring a dentist first thing tomorrow if still in pain

Do you have any vanilla extract in the cupbord? If you rub some on your tooth and gum it might help
the pain.

Ive taken two panadol rapid and two neurofen, hopefully something will kick in soon. The pains to the point where I feel sick and dizzy. I think perhaps he did hit the nerves, my mouth is throbbing.
Who would have thought such a silly little thing could hurt so much. Even my c-secs didnt hurt this much LOL

In one of your previous replies, I was surprised to read that you are still promoting the use of hazardous nitric acid for passivation of stainless steels, especially for brush-on applications. Citric-based formulations have been in use for a number of years with excellent results and have been approved under ASTM A-967. They can be applied by immersion or spray and are very effective as a brush-on gel for cleaning weld areas.
Citric-based materials are non-hazardous for workers and environmentally friendly. As an added benefit, passivation results are much improved over nitric acid. Thanks. D.D.
You are correct. Citric acid is a viable alternative for nitric acid in some passivation applications. It has the advantage of creating less hazardous waste and is safer to work with. Although nitric acid will not remove all heat tint and scale from a welding operation, it will work better than the citric acid. Additionally, the nitric acid is probably less expensive to charge with initially, although this difference is probably offset with the cost of disposal.

A woman from Wajir who was stabbed in the cheek in a domestic squabble has said she wants her husband arrested for her safety.
Fatuma Ibrahim, 32, was released from Kenyatta National Hospital in Nairobi on Saturday morning following a successful operation.
"I want my husband jailed because if released he may stab me to death," she said, adding the 'maslaha' Somali justice system should handle petty, not criminal, offences.
"I have lost count of the times I have experienced domestic violence but I have had to put up with regular beatings because of my children."
Ibrahim, a housewife, said she has been in an abusive relationship with the man - Mohammed Deeq - since 2000. She said she lost four teeth after several physical assaults.
Deeq was arrested and placed in police custody following the attack on January 6; the knife used struck Ibrahim's bones and left a three-inch wound in her cheek.
Ibrahim left KNH in an Amref van to Eastleigh estate where she will leave with relatives for three days before Amref flies her back to Wajir.
"She will go back to her children as we wait for justice. We want action taken against the culprit to ensure this does not happen to Fatuma or any other woman," said her nephew Abdi Ahmed.
KNH acting CEO Lily Koros said doctors did their best to save Fatuma's life after she arrived in critical condition. Koros said doctors will monitor Ibrahim's progress from her home.
Yasmin Mohamed, founder and CEO of the Kenya Sister's Empowerment Network said, said such incidents demonstrate the need for Kenyans to support each other.
"If our brother's home is on fire we should always contribute whether in Kisumu, Lamu or Wajir," Mohamed said.
Ibrahim was airlifted from Khorof Harar after doctors at Wajir General Hospital said they could not remove the knife as this would likely result in complications.
Amref, which promised to respond to emergency air evacuations in the northern part, flew her to Nairobi free of charge.
Wajir woman representative Fatuma Ibrahim and Wajir West Member of Parliament Abdikadir Ore footed the hospital bill.
Deeq denied stabbing his wife and told a court on January 8 he was trying to save her from attempting suicide.
The man who hails from Wajir East appeared composed when brought to the courtroom which was packed with women and human right activists.
Abdiaziz Haji, Eastern African Development Agency executive director, decried the rising number of cases of domestic violence in Northern Kenya
"I demand action from the leadership of Northern Kenya counties sothat there are no repeat-incidents," he said.

Can tackle any mountain....
By: DeepFriedGenocide
I just used these boots to hike the Ozark mountains in Arkansas this last week and they held tough. I am usually let down by my boots but not these. These steel toe provides peace of mind and that is an underrated quality. The breath ability is also great my feet stay dry for the duration of my hike. A+

Comfortable fit right out of the box, provides good support & comfort all day in hard working conditions...
By: Gary
Purchased these work shoes because I had very good experience with Timberland Pro Mudslinger 6" boot. These work shoes lived up to my prior experience. They provide good support and comfort all day in hard working condition. I am on my feet most of the day on a mostly concrete floor and do not have pain as I do with other shoes.

Not as comfy as the Pro Oxford...
By: bcmaine
I purchased these for summer wear at my job, the Pro Oxfords I have are heavy and hot in the summer. I got these with the composite toe thinking they would be better. Although they have worn well, they are just not as comfortable as the Pro Oxfords. I even bought a pair of gel insoles for them but they still made my feet hurt after a full day at work. I would not recommend these if you have a high instep.

This June I'll be travelling round Asia and be using HK as my starting and returning point. I would like to ask which country after HK would be best to go to? To Seoul, Osaka, Taipei and back to HK or Taipei to Osaka to Seoul back to HK?
It probably doesn't matter much but I was thinking I ended with Taipei the return journey back to HK would be more comfortable as it should be shorter judging by distance. However would the cost be the same in either direction I'm travelling to?
Thanks for your kind help!

Lucky 7: From the Ground UpJanuary 23, 2013 • No Comments • category: Algonquin Books Blog, Lucky Stars
It's never easy to learn something new, but in From the Ground Up, Amy Stewart puts all of her successes and mishaps on display in order to help plant the path for us. Take your first step toward becoming a master gardener for only $1.99 through January 31st as one of this month's Lucky 7 books. This e-book also comes with a bonus recipe inspired by Stewart's upcoming book, The Drunken Botanist — coming in March.
You can buy From the Ground Up at AMAZON, BARNES & NOBLE, KOBO, GOOGLE, INDIEBOUND, POWELL'S BOOKS and APPLE.
Amy Stewart had a simple dream.
She yearned for a garden filled with colorful jumbles of vegetables and flowers. After she and her husband finished graduate school, they pulled up their Texas roots and headed west to Santa Cruz, California. With little money in their pockets, they rented a modest seaside bungalow with a small backyard. It wasn't much–a twelve-hundred-square-foot patch of land with a couple of fruit trees, and a lot of dirt. A good place to start.
From the Ground Up is Stewart's quirky, humorous chronicle of the blossoms and weeds in her first garden and the lessons she's learned the hard way. From planting seeds her great-grandmother sends to battling snails, gophers, and aphids, Stewart takes us on a tour of four seasons in her coastal garden. Confessing her sins and delighting in small triumphs, she dishes the dirt for both the novice and the experienced gardener. Along the way, she brings her quintessential California beach town to life–complete with harbor seals, monarch butterfly migrations, and an old-fashioned seaside amusement park just down the street.
Each chapter includes helpful tips alongside the engaging story of a young woman's determination to create a garden in which the plants struggle to live up to the gardener's vision.
"How-to gardening books abound; how-not-to gardening memoirs are rarer… Along with a witty description of her mistakes, the author shares her solutions. She gives other beginning gardeners tips… Written in a humorous, conversational style…" – Library Journal

Tura, June 16: A massive combing operation was launched today to track down the unidentified militants involved in the abduction of a State Bank of India (SBI) official.
Security forces from West and South West Garo Hills are conducting joint operations in the Garobadha-Rangsakona area, said superintendent of police, West Garo Hills, Mukesh Singh.
Arvind Kumar, who was posted at Ampati branch as its manager, was abducted from Garobadha today around 10am while on his way to Ampati, the district headquarters of South-West Garo Hills. Police said Kumar was travelling with his driver Sanjay Mahanta when three suspected militants stopped their car near a bridge at Garobadha, and abducted them at gunpoint.
First they asked for money. On being refused, the three militants sat in the car and asked the driver to take the vehicle towards Rang-sakona. After reaching Rang-sakona, they kept the manager and asked the driver to leave with his vehicle, said Singh.
Kumar had joined SBI as a probationary officer in 2008. He started his career as an assistant manager at Chandmari branch in Tura. He was promoted last year and was posted to Ampati as its branch manager. He hails from Bihta in Bihar. The police are interrogating the driver.
Assistant general manager, SBI, Garo hills division, Nixon Joseph, has appealed to the abductors to release the official, who has come from outside to serve the region and its people. Bank officials depend only on their salary for their livelihood. I request those who have kidnapped the official to release him, as he has to support his family and child. SBI is trying its best to develop Garo hills and incidents like this would only dampen our efforts to do more.
Condemnation on the alleged abduction of the SBI official has also come from chief minister Mukul Sangma and the Opposition National Peoples Party (NPP).
In a statement, the chief minister, while condemning the abduction in the strongest of words, said, Whoever is involved in this crime are people who want to display their cowardice by holding up innocent people and keeping them as their bargaining chip. He said this crime against society shall not be tolerated, and all efforts would be made to ensure that the perpetrators of the crime are brought to book.
NPP legislator James P.K. Sangma said the incident proved that law and order in Garo hills was beyond the control of the government. The situation in Garo hills is reaching such a point where no citizen is safe. We request the perpetrators of this abduction to immediately release Arvind Kumar, he said.
GNLA slams MLA
Meghalaya legislator Clifford R. Marak has drawn flak from the GNLA for his comment that the outfit was killing wild animals. The outfit today expressed concern for animals and has asked the wildlife department to pursue cases of animals killed in different police operations.
Marak had made the comment on the floor of the Assembly on June 12. The commander-in-chief of GNLA, Sohan D. Shira, in a statement issued here today said, The allegation that GNLA is killing wild animals is baseless. His accusation is unwanted and false.
Appreciating the concern of the legislator for wildlife, Shira said, We highly appreciate your concern for the wildlife of Garo hills, but we cannot accept your speculative statement.
The outfit also lambasted the police for rampant killing of wild animals during their operations against militants. The statement pointed out that an elephant was killed in last weeks encounter at Adugre, near Williamnagar. They also mailed pictures of mortars, which failed to explode.
The outfit is of the view that by bombarding the militant hideout in the jungle, the police are indirectly killing animals. There are countless dead animals in the jungle rotting everywhere. They were killed in police firing, said the statement. The outfit has also questioned as to why the forest and wildlife department failed to take up the matter as many animals were killed during different operations.

My first encounter with Omega Crom came courtesy of a manila envelope stuffed in my mailbox. It was my first promo CD, and having no preconceived notions of what the band might sound like my first impressions were naturally based entirely on the album art. In this case it was a cover which depicted a loincloth clad cartoon warrior who, with muscles rippling and battle axe poised, was leading a vicious mob of bloodthirsty minions into battle. How much more ridiculously metal can you get? Continue reading

You may not believe it, but it is true that the water used in putting out fire in a burning building does more damage to the building than the fire itself.

After the fire had been extinguished, you should attempt to salvage any of your valuables that may still be left untouched by the fire. You should be able to handle the fire damage cleanup by yourself if the fire damage is not much.

honest to God, could there be just one episode where the Donald could actually learn in advance the names of the executives they will be working with? Criminy, he starts explaining the tasks, then turns to the execs and says 'your names please'. Is that the first damn time he has even met these folks? It is so disrespectful to me. I don't care how big or small El Pollo Loco is (I've never heard of it myself), but at the very least he needs to get off his ass and learn the names of the business execs who will be on the show. What a moron!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm kicking myself in the butt for starting to watch this show again. I skipped the premiere episode, but started watching the second week. Oh I miss Carolyn and the other guy (brain fart, can't think of his name). And tents? tacky, tacky, tacky. Lets get back to basics and see some real Apprentice shows like they had in Season one and two.

Galactic Civilizations III has officially entered beta. As it makes the transition to a new phase of development, Stardock has decided to launch the game on Steam as part of its Early Access program while also lowering the price by five bucks to $44.99. The version available now features sandbox mode and online multiplayer, a first for the series, while diplomacy, revamped ship combat, and trade are planned to go live "in the coming months." A few of the improvements since the alpha include enhancements to the ship designer and the shipyard being moved off-world to allow for colonies to pool resources.
Stardock has an ongoing series where they detail their progress via a weekly livestreaming series that airs every Friday at 3 p.m. (EST) on their Twitch channel.
Galactic Civilizations III is scheduled to launch spring 2015 for 64-bit Windows PCs.
Galactic Civilizations III puts players in charge of one of several fantastical sci-fi races (including 23rd-century humans) about to begin interstellar colonization. Spreading your empire throughout the galaxy, unlocking the secrets of creation through radical scientific research, and building massive fleets of starships to defend your way of life is only the beginning. As the age of expansion ends and the age of war dawns, you must navigate the waves of conflict crashing through the galaxy. Diplomatic channels may secure your borders, cultural imperialism might expand them peacefully, or you could do things the old-fashioned way through military conquest. Finally, the age of transcendence brings the struggle for galactic dominance to a fever pitch as mighty empires bring titanic forces to bear in the race for final victory.

GOP hopefuls retired Air Force Col. Martha McSally, small-business owner Shelley Kais and retired Air Force Chief Master Sgt. Chuck Wooten agreed in principle on a number of subjects in a debate Saturday afternoon.
Each pledged to secure the border, strengthen the United States' role in international relations and all said they would have refused to sign on to the Senate Gang of Eight's proposal for immigration reform last year.
The devil may be in the details, however, as the three differed on the specifics of the reforms they would support in terms of federal immigration policies.
Wooten said early in his remarks that he would spend the entire 90-minute debate offering solutions to the questions posed by the panel.
"I didn't come here to recite my résumé to you, I didn't come here to regurgitate facts off the Internet and I didn't come here to tug at your heartstrings with emotional stories," Wooten told the standing-room-only crowd in Green Valley.
Securing the border would be his top priority, but Wooten told the crowd that he had no interest in getting involved in reforming existing immigration laws.
Additionally, he said he supports deporting undocumented immigrants, estimated to number in the millions, currently living in the United States.
"I don't stand for illegal anybody getting automatic citizenship," he said.
When a moderator noted that Arizona Sen. John McCain has said the Republicans can't take back the White House without comprehensive immigration reform, Wooten was unfazed.
"I don't agree with much Senator McCain says," Wooten said, eliciting a roar from the crowd.
McSally said there is a need for immigration reform, pointing out there is no system for immigrants with legal temporary visas who overstay their visas. She also questioned the limit placed on the number of H1-B visas issued annually, saying the U.S. is turning away highly educated workers.
McSally said there is a need to reform the federal system so it is more responsive to the needs of the economy.
"In the first week of April, we turned away 95,000 people who were willing to come here to jobs that were going to help the economy," she said.
Kais said the Democrats are slowly changing immigration policy piece by piece and the Republicans need a watchdog to keep a close eye on those changes.
"They are 'fixing' it and we need to be able to move quick," Kais warned the crowd.
Kais has stated for several weeks that she found funding inside the federal budget — dating to 2010 — that meant some federal officials were anticipating a massive wave of immigrants being caught at the border.
Debt ceiling
The trio were also asked to take a hypothetical stance on whether they would have voted for the debt ceiling if they had been in Congress last year.
McSally said she would never have let the events unfold that temporarily shut down the government. Asked if she would have voted to increase the debt ceiling, she prefaced her answer by saying the shutdown should have been avoided in the first place.
"We shouldn't have been in that situation and I wasn't there," McSally said. "So we want to lose full faith and credit in the United States? I don't think so. So we've got to pay our bills but moving forward we have to get our spending under control."
Wooten compared federal spending to an addiction and said it has to stop, vowing never to vote to increase the debt ceiling.
"Think of the most addicted person to alcohol or drugs you can think of and you take that and multiply that by a million and that is our federal government when it comes to spending," Wooten said.
Kais also said she would not have voted to increase the debt ceiling.
"We cannot sustain the debt we have," Kais said. "We are spending money like a madman."
Cuts to federal government
Asked how they would make cuts to the federal government, each offered their program:
- McSally noted the feds have 47 job-training programs, saying money would be better spent in block grants for local programs.
- Wooten said he would cut the budget of the Environmental Protection Agency by 80 percent, noting each state already has its own environmental agency.
- Kais said she would reduce funding for a federal program that helps immigrants with resettlement costs.
The winner of the GOP primary on Aug. 26 will face Democrat Ron Barber, who is seeking a second term.
Early ballots will be mailed on Thursday.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
How much does it cost, and does it get sealed automatically? Or is there a certain amount of time required?
It is the express intent of the Legislature "that juvenile court records, in general, should be confidential. See In re Keisha T. (1995) 38 Cal.App.4th 220, 231, citing Welf. & Inst. Code §827(b). Courts have recognized, however, that this policy of confidentiality is not absolute. The juvenile court ("JC") has been vested with "exclusive authority to determine the extent to which juvenile records may be released to third parties." Ibid., citing T.N.G. v. Superior Court (1971) 4 Cal.3d 767, 778, 781; See also Cimarusti v. Superior Court (2000) 79 Cal.App.4th 799, 804.
Welf. & Inst. Code §827(a) governs the authority/right of specific enumerated personnel to inspect juvenile court records. In addition, California Rules of Court, rule 1423(a) states: "Only those persons specified in sections 827…may inspect juvenile court records without authorization from the court. Juvenile court records may not be obtained or inspected by civil or criminal subpoena. Authorization for any other person to inspect, obtain, or copy juvenile court records must be ordered by the juvenile court presiding judge or a judicial officer designated by the juvenile court presiding judge." Rule 1423(a) defines the protected "juvenile court records" to include: (1) all documents filed in a juvenile court case; (2) reports to the court by probation officers, social workers, and special advocates; (3) documents made available to probation officers, social workers, and special advocates in preparation of such reports; (4) documents relating to a child concerning whom a petition has been filed, which are maintained in the office files of probation officers, social workers, and special advocates; (5) transcripts, records, or reports relating to matters prepared or released by the court, probation department, or child welfare programs; and (6) documents and exhibits admitted into evidence at JC hearings. CYA or DJJ files include documents transmitted from the JC that unquestionably are JC records as defined by Welf. & Inst. Code §827 and California Rules of Court, rule 1423. Cimarusti, supra, at 805.
The right to have juvenile records sealed is governed by Welf. & Inst. Code §781. In re Jeffrey T. (2006) 140 Cal.App.4th 1015, 1019. The relevant provides in relevant part: "In any case in which a petition has been filed with a juvenile court ("JC") to commence proceedings to adjudge a person a ward of the court…the person or the county probation officer may, five years or more after the jurisdiction of the JC has terminated as to the person…or, in any case, at any time after the person has reached the age of 18 years, petition the court for sealing of the records, including records of arrest, relating to the person's case, in the custody of the juvenile court and probation officer and any other agencies, including law enforcement agencies, and public officials as the petitioner alleges, in his or her petition, to have custody of the records…If, after hearing, the court finds that since the termination of jurisdiction or action pursuant to Section 626, as the case may be, he or she has not been convicted of a felony or of any misdemeanor involving moral turpitude and that rehabilitation has been attained to the satisfaction of the court, it shall order all records, papers, and exhibits in the person's case in the custody of the JC sealed, including the JC record, minute book entries, and entries on dockets, and any other records relating to the case in the custody of the other agencies and officials as are named in the order…Notwithstanding any other provision of the law, the court shall not order the person's records sealed in any case in which the person has been found by the JC to have committed an offense listed in Welf. & Inst. Code §707(b) when he or she had attained 14 years of age or older." Good luck!

The 'Lone Ranger' actor undergoes dramatic transformation to play the infamous crime kingpin in the biopic directed by Scott Cooper.
Johnny Depp was almost unrecognizable when spotted on the set of his new movie "Black Mass". He was spotted in Boston, Massachusetts wearing a bald cap with thin blond hair to portray Whitey Bulger in the true-story movie.
Bulger was an FBI informant in taking down a Mafia family who invaded his turf. However, he was later outed as a criminal himself and went into hiding when the Feds closed in on their targets. He became a fugitive for years before being arrested in 2011.
Joel Edgerton will play FBI agen John Connolly, Bulger's childhood friend. Connolly himself ends up in prison for tipping Bulger about the Feds' plan. Guy Pearce will play Bulger's brother, Bill, who was president of the Massachusetts Senate and a big power broker in town.
Scott Cooper ("Crazy Heart") serves as a director for the biopic.

Newtown aftermath: Glints of sunlight on the gun front
Here's a Newtown six-year-old, commenting about slain friend Jack Pinto: "We just played all the time. I can't believe I'm never going to see him again."
According to the gun-fetish lobby, that sort of thing is simply the price we must pay for Freedom. But the good news today is that most Americans now appear to believe (finally!) that this price is way too high.
Granted, I doubt there will ever be a mass revolt against the prevalence of guns - death by trigger is too deeply embedded in our DNA - and the feds say that 14,900 newly manufactured firearms enter the U.S. market each day of the year. We're basically numb about stats like that. For instance, we'd surely be scared witless if Al Qaeda had slaughtered 47,856 Americans on home soil between 2006 and 2010, right? Yet that's the number of Americans shot dead by fellow Americans during that time span, and few of us seemed to give a damn.
Until now. What makes Newtown different (at least for the foreseeable future) is that the slaughter has pierced the heart of every parent who has ever sent kids out the door. And it speaks to any American who can remember what it was like to be six years old, playing "all the time" with a best friend. Which is why we're witnessing these welcome developments:
1. A totally quiescent NRA. The leading gun-fetish lobby group hasn't uttered a peep since the news broke on Friday. Not a single response to press inquiries. Not a single tweet. Not a single mention of the massacre on its website. No rebuttal to the protestors who marched to its Washington office yesterday. And no activity on its Facebook page... actually, that's an understatement. The NRA, at least for now, has taken down its Facebook page. On some cognitive level, the NRA knows that its arguments don't wash, not in the current climate. No doubt the group is waiting things out, and preparing to operate in the shadows, to throw sand in the gears of any reform legislation, but for now it's refreshing not to hear the usual claptrap about how civilian assault rifles are staples of Second Amendment freedom.
2. A private equity firm anounced yesterday that it will sell Freedom Group, the perversely-named company that manufactures the assault weapon that terminated the childhoods of Jack Pinto and his 19 schoolmates. Cerberus Capital Management, the private equity parent, was making good money from its Freedom asset, but it has decided that blood money is a deal breaker.
In a statement, Cerberus said: "It is apparent that the Sandy Hook tragedy was a watershed event that has raised the national debate on gun control to an unprecedented level. We believe that this decision allows us to meet our obligations to the investors whose interests we are entrusted to protect, without being drawn into the national debate that is more properly pursued by those with the formal charter and public responsibility to do so." Which is as close to a moral confession as you'll ever get from a private equity firm. And reform probably won't happen unless the gun industry's corporate overlords deem it in their interest to acquiesce.
3. Some gun-friendly lawmakers on Capitol Hill are starting to speak up for sanity. Senator Mark Warner of Virginia said yesterday: "I've got an A rating from the NRA. But the status quo isn't acceptable. I've got three daughters. They asked me on Friday evening, 'Dad, what are you gonna do about this?' There's got to be a way to put reasonable restrictions, particularly as we look at assault weapons, as we look at these fast clips of ammunition." Another hunting-state Democrat, Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia, said: "Who would have ever thought, in America, or anywhere in the world, that children would be slaughtered? You know, that - it's changed me," which is why he now believes that "everything should be on the table."
And Kentucky Democratic congressman John Yarmuth lamented yesterday that he had "largely been silent on the issue of gun violence over the past six years. I am now sorry for that" - whereupon he committed a blasphemy, at least by Kentucky standards. He assailed the gun-fetish powerhouse: "The National Rifle Association has spent untold millions of dollars instilling fear in our citizens and our politicians. That organization, which regularly fails to represent the responsible attitudes of its members, wants us to believe that the best protection against the irresponsible and lethal use of guns is for everyone to be armed. And while no specific gun regulation may have prevented the deaths of the 20 Sandy Hook Elementary children, 6 and 7-year-old children, the answer simply cannot be a gun in every elementary school lunchbox."
No Republican on Capitol Hill has said anything similar (natch), but, hey, any glints of sunlight are welcome. Let it also be noted that the NRA spent $14 million to defeat President Obama in 2012, and we've seen the results of that investment. Now it's his turn to return the favor - and to hopefully demonstrate that Mayor Michael Bloomberg was correct on Sunday when he insisted that the NRA's power is "vasty overrated."

"Bleeding" veggie burger ...
Creators of a fake-meat burger made with a high-profile genetically eng...
Posted Jan. 9, 2013 / Posted by: Adam Russell
ANNAPOLIS, MD -- The Maryland Court of Special Appeals ruled earlier this week that a coalition of local and national river advocacy groups have standing to challenge a major stormwater pollution permit in court.
At issue is a state-issued pollution discharge permit for Montgomery County's 499-square mile stormwater system. Clean water groups contend the permit allows ongoing harm to water quality and human health due to excessive discharges of pollutants and trash into the Potomac and Anacostia Rivers watersheds.
Maryland's Department of Environment found that, to meet the state's own standards, Montgomery County's sediment discharge would need to be reduced by 46 percent, nitrogen and phosphorus by 79 percent and fecal bacteria by 96 percent.
The coalition engaged in a four-year dispute in which lawyers for the state argued courts must only hear a challenge to a water pollution discharge permit if it is filed by a person who owns riverfront property or has some other financial interest being affected by water pollution.
Jennifer Chavez of Earthjustice, who represents the coalition of conservation groups, said, "Everyone who enjoys the Anacostia and Potomac Rivers has the right to seek enforcement of the Clean Water Act. The court agreed. We all have a right to a healthy environment."
The decision allows the case to move forward but issues no judgment about the legal sufficiency of the permit.
"It's about time that people who -- like me -- canoe, kayak, fish or otherwise enjoy Maryland waterways have the right to ask the state to comply with its legal duties to clean up these wonderful rivers and streams," said Mac Thornton one of the individual plaintiffs in the case.
Marc Yaggi, Executive Director of Waterkeepers Alliance said, "The waters that run through our nation's capital should set an environmental standard for our country. We look forward to working with our local partners to finally get the job done."
Mike Bolinder, Anacostia Riverkeeper said, "The Anacostia was once a thriving fishery and an epicenter of trade and recreation, but is now best known for being one of the most polluted rivers in the nation. Our nation's rivers belong to everybody, not just the people who can afford front row seats. This is a victory for everyone who wants to see a restored Anacostia."
"We are encouraged that the courts have finally agreed with what we have known: everyone who paddles, fishes, enjoys the river and the over five million people who get their drinking water from the Potomac have a right to protect it," said Robin Broder, Vice President of Potomac Riverkeeper.
"The court affirmed the ability of citizen groups to defend the Clean Water Act. This is a victory for Maryland waters and for clean water enforcement across the country," said Marcie Keever, legal director at Friends of the Earth.
Earthjustice represents Anacostia Riverkeeper, Potomac Riverkeeper, Waterkeeper Alliance and Friends of the Earth as well as individuals Mac Thornton and Pat Munoz.

It's simple, and free.
1). Hughes also creates vivid characters like Westley, who takes the Lord's name in vain in church and gives in to being saved because it's taking so long and the church is stifling hot. The fact that Westley seems unscathed by his blasphemous behavior creates a moral crisis in Langston, "God had not struck Westley dead for taking his name in vain or for lying in the temple. So I decided that maybe to save further trouble, I'd better lie, too, and say that Jesus had come, and get up and be saved" (Hughes, 2008, p. 2).
We see that in both Updike's story and Hughes' there is an attempt to have the stories read like fiction in order for the author's stories to take on more depth and meaning to others. In Updike's (2001) story he tries to help Americans heal by remind us our history is based on sacrifice for our deepest held values, "we have only the mundane duties of survivors-to pick up the pieces...risk is a price of freedom" (p. 2). In this way, Updike provides the story of events most of us are familiar or watched on television, but he adds a deeper level to it by writing the account more like a short story with his own views interjected than a straight report of the day's events would include. In "Salvation," Hughes' use the story of the revival is merely to demonstrate the crisis of faith precipitated in him by it. Hughes waited and waited for a savior that never showed up, dashing his faith that there is a Jesus. Like many individuals who have at one time or another questioned their faith, Hughes fiction-like account of the nonfiction event helps others understand that we all question our faith at times in our existence.
The theme and purpose of Updike's (2001) work seems not only to provide a beautifully written account of the horror of September 11, but also to reaffirm the very values that made it so horrific. As Updike (2001) writes at the end of his piece, his walk around Brooklyn Heights "renewe...

The NTSB is investigating the May 4 upset of a Raytheon Aircraft-owned Hawker 800A near Lincoln, Neb., during a post-maintenance stall test. At 17,000 feet, the Hawker's right wing dropped, then the jet rolled right and left and lost more than 10,000 feet before the pilot pulled (he said) four to five gs, recovering at about 7,000 feet. The stall test, required after leading-edge panel replacement, must be done at 10,000 feet above clouds and with the autopilot disengaged. The pilot told the NTSB that the Hawker proceeded down through clouds at 12,000 feet and exited at 10,000 feet "descending vertically." The pilot also said that the auto-pilot was engaged during the test. Four passengers were on board. On Sept. 20. 2003, an instructor and two pilots on a training mission were killed when their Hawker crashed near Beaumont, Texas, after it was stalled from 5,000 feet.

It is not only in relation to the origins of the Israelites that DNA evidence has the potential to solve longstanding mysteries about the origins of a people group. Since the colonial era, when light-skinned Europeans took control of India, it has seemed plausible to many European scholars to interpret the Vedas as reflecting the culture of a people who, like their European cousins, invaded India and took control of it away from other, darker-skinned human beings. Although challenges to this scenario have often been raised, these have themselves been suspicious, since many supporters of the indigenous Aryan scenario were themselves motivated by nationalism and other concerns.
Now, however, studies of both Y-chromosome and mitochondrial DNA markers are pointing in the same direction: the Aryans were, most probably, well-established in India long before the purported Aryan invasion would allegedly have occurred.

"Although this set does not have a reception card, which is strange cause everyone gets a reception card most likely, BUT the great part about this you are able to customize it and I customized it to a reception card and even went back and forth with them to help me choose the best wording/option. I love it!"

"These are adorable cards, perfect for that extra memo for your guests. They are on the smaller side, so try to limit the length of the message. I used these for our wedding website address, and just wish our website address we used was shorter so it didn't look like it was running off the card. Otherwise I love these cards!"
