Can Reforming Own Resources Foster Policy Quality? (2008:3)
The report, written by Jorge Nuñéz Ferrer, Associate Research Fellow at the Centre for European Policy Studies (CEPS), analyses how the own resources system can be reformed to foster better decision-making in relation to policy-making in the EU.
The author argues that a combined strategy of policy reform and changes in the own resources system is necessary and the report therefore proposes to finance the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) in a different way. To this end the report presents two systems as possible ways forward. The first system is a modified version of national co-financing of direct payments, while the second system focuses more on the Gross Value Added (GVA) of production. According to the author the proposed systems would break the interplay between EU policies, allow a refocusing of negotiations on the budget and mitigate the distorting effects of the net balance considerations of the Member States.
The report was presented at the seminar The EU Budget Review 2008/09 and is a part of the research project The EU Budget.

MICHAEL Clarke must move back to number five and stay there.
Ed Cowan must be dropped unless he does something very special in Australia's second innings.
These are the most desperate conclusions from another brittle batting display by Australia on the opening afternoon of the first Test at Trent Bridge.
Clarke is simply too valuable to be exposed against the new ball as he was on day one.
The only world-class player in Australia's fragile line-up should be batting where he has dominated the world these past few years and was named reigning Wisden Cricketer of the Year.
Instead Clarke was forced to arrive at the crease midway through the fourth over with Australia already two down and departed after just six balls for a duck, bowled by a magnificent delivery from Jimmy Anderson which moved away off the pitch.
Whatever the silly debates about manliness and fortitude which sometimes surround the make-up of a batting order, the only thing that matters is what works for the team.
Going into this Test Clarke averaged 64 batting at five and just 22 batting at four. Question answered.
This is particularly so in a squad stacked with top order batsmen. Only Clarke and late addition Steve Smith are genuine middle order players.
They should be batting five and six despite concerns that this would leave Australia with three left handers in the top four.
Clarke was forced to the crease with the lacquer still on the ball because of Cowan's negligence.
There were many fine swinging, seaming deliveries bowled by both sides on day one but the only ball faced by Cowan was not one of them.
Among Cowan's assets are his ability to leave the ball and bat for long periods.
That would have been particularly valuable at Trent Bridge with pace bowlers dominating thanks to a moving ball under the gloom of overcast skies.
Carrying a stomach which forced him from the field on several occasions and the heightened expectations of an Ashes series, Cowan was caught between playing positively and not play the ball at all.
In the end he sliced a loose drive to second slip, stood momentarily stunned to take in exactly what he had done, and then trudged off.
Cowan has deserved his opportunities. Once a peripheral player in NSW he rebuilt his game on a difficult wicket in Hobart and earned his place in the Test team through sheer weight of runs for Tasmania.
There are so few players scoring decent runs in the Sheffield Shield at the moment that those who do deserve to be rewarded, as Chris Rogers has been.
However Cowan, 31, is now in his 18th Test and has rarely made an impact. His batting average is now under 32 with just one century.
He must do something soon or the selectors will decide that he is taking Australia nowhere.
David Warner's suspension and now banishment to the Australia A tour of southern Africa has helped Cowan's cause but at some stage Usman Khawaja, 26, will deserve another opportunity.

Author | NULL | Monday, Jan 01,1900 7:50 AM
A recent Tam media research conducted by A C Nielsen, shows that regional and language TV channels are far ahead of others, in terms of channel share, on the day most results of the recent Assembly elections were declared. TAM, found that Sun and Jaya have beaten all other channels in Chennai and the 'Rest of Tamil Nadu' markets in election time TV viewing on May 13, the day when most of the poll results were announced.
The Tam research has traced the TV viewing pattern during the election time in some significant markets including Chennai, rest of Tamil Nadu, Cochin and Calcutta on May 13 across several channels, age groups, cable and satellite homes and all TV homes.
In a survey of the cable and satellite homes in the age group of four years plus in Chennai, Sun bagged a channel share of 45 per cent, closely followed by Jaya with 33 per cent. The time band for the survey was 2 a.m. to 6 p.m. The other channels to attract some viewership that day in the Chennai market included Raj with 9 per cent share, Vijay with 7 per cent, DD-5 with 3 per cent, DD-1 and Sun News with 1 per cent, respectively.
Similarly, for the 'Rest of Tamil Nadu' market in the same category and time band, Sun had a channel share of 42 per cent, followed by Jaya with 30 per cent. The other channels to get any viewer attention on May 13 in the 'Rest of Tamil Nadu' market included Raj TV with 12 per cent, Vijay with 9 per cent, Sun News with 4 per cent, DD1 and DD5 with 1 per cent, respectively.
Surprisingly, other channels such as Star News, Star Plus, Sony, BBC, CNN, Zee News, Aaj Tak and DD News, did not have any share at all in that time band on May 13, both in the Chennai and the 'Rest of the Tamil Nadu' market, as per the survey.
According to a survey in the cable and satellite homes in Cochin, in the four years plus category, Asianet is ahead of others with 44 per cent channel share, followed by Surya TV with 32 per cent, Kairaly with 18 per cent, DD-4 with 5 per cent and DD-1 with just 1 per cent.
In Calcutta, the popular Bangla channel—ETV Bangla—scored over others on May 13 in a survey of cable and satellite homes in the age group of four years plus category. While ETV Bangla grabbed a channel share of 39 per cent, DD-7 (another Bangla channel) got 21 per cent. Perhaps, there's a lesson in this for other popular channels!

hey everyone
i'm a 21 year old (female) first time traveller, planning to start my trip with new zealand in april '12. After researching i have thought booking a bus tour with stray or the kiwi experience would be good idea, as i would ease me into travelling alone, and allow me to meet people etc.
but im not sure if i should just go on my own route and meet people at hostels etc, as it would probably work out at the same price.
but i have heard the kiwi exp is a 'party bus' which i would enjoy, but i also want to enjoy what scenery and activities the country has to offer, and not just get wasted all the time!
any advice is welcome!!
thanks, ellie x

When it come to relationships I never seem to find a balance. I'm either too interested or a spark is just not there. I went out with this girl, we went out twice, we had an amazing first date and a second even better when we got a bit physical. I waited a day and called, she didn't picked up but a minute later texted me. Seemed like she was really into me. But I might have over texted her, not by a huge amount but by a text. I see some potential and I'll like to explore the option but I don't wanted her to think I want to be her whole life. What amount of interest should I show to not scare her away? Should I call or give her some space and wait for her to call?
Most Helpful Girl
Just take your time with this, you know when enough is enough and when you should take a break from her. I think at this point contact once a day or maybe every other day is good enough for the time being. It's hard in the beginning sometimes but you have feel her out. If she is only texting you instead of speaking to you via telephone then I would wonder why that is. But other than that, it may be okay. ty-lady!00|00|0
Well I know she was in class at the time. Also I got a bit of an accent I'm form the u.k and its hard to understand each other on the vphon gets frustrating for both of us. I'm happy with the texting and face to face conversation, not much of a phone guy.
Gotcha! Hope it works out for the two of you! ty-lady!

When TV sets first started coming out, it was way back in late 1920s. Since then, the television has become commonplace in homes, businesses and institutions, particularly as a vehicle for advertising, a source of entertainment, and news. Now it's 2014, and more than 90 years down the line, Samsung is setting an entirely new benchmark in TV viewing.
Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd., a burning name in TV technology already for the last eight years, has today set the records straight with the launch of its Curved TV range in India.
The company showcased its line-up for 2014 which included world's first Curved UHD TV and expansive portfolio of home entertainment products that have been designed to raise the overall television viewing and audio experience.
Samsung's new 2014 Curved TVs are said to deliver an impressive theatrical experience, while changing the way the world views TVs. The curved screen offers videos a presence that's usually not felt on flat screens, alongside a wider field of view which creates a panoramic effect. This makes the display seem even bigger than it is.

From virtually any viewing position or angle, the curved design creates a true-to-life experience so everyone in the house can boast the best seat.
Speaking on the occasion, Mr. S.K. Kim, Managing Director, Sales at Samsung India said, "In 2014, Samsung is opening a new era of Curved TV with the ultimate immersive viewing experience. With the launch of world's first Curved UHD TV, Samsung is blending its innovative Curved form factor with its UHD TV technology. With this launch, we are further augmenting our robust product portfolio in the home entertainment segment."
"With its full line-up of products, Samsung aims to revolutionize the concept of home entertainment with beautifully designed, world class premium products to meet the discerning taste of its customers", he added.
There are a host of new TVs to choose from Samsung new range of line-ups. There's the Samsung-made 105 Curved UHD TV with a beautiful curved design and movie theater-like aspect ratio. Apart from that, Samsung has also introduced the HU9000 Curved UHD TV and the H8000 Curved Smart LED TV.

Apart from that, there are the HU8500 UHD TV (flat) and Samsung HU7000. While the HU9000 Curved UHD TV will be available in a 65 for Rs. 4,49,900 and 55 for Rs. 3,29,900, the H8000 Curved Smart LED TV is set to be made available in a 65 model for Rs. 3,85,900, 55 model for Rs. 2,51,900 and 48 model for Rs. 1,62,900.
The HU8500 UHD TV (flat) will be available in a 65 for Rs. 4,09,900 and 55 model for Rs. 2,93,900, while the HU7000 in 40 will be available for Rs. 1,04,900.
Keeping aside the new TVs for the time being, there's the new and faster Samsung Smart Hub which now offers less searching and more watching. Users can easily access all of their live TV, VOD apps and social media in one easy-to-browse place with the Smart Hub.
Moreover, with Samsung's Multi-Link (Dual) feature, consumers can transform their TV into two screens that can access live TV and streaming video / the web, making multi-tasking as easy as ever.

Jess Jonassen is on the verge of a memorable century on debut having rescued Australia from the depths of a day one horror show in the one-off women's Ashes Test.
England's Anya Shrubsole (4-59) ripped out the Australia top order during a 37-ball purple patch either side of lunch, as Australia crashed from 0-66 to 4-87, before recovering to be 8-268 at stumps in Canterbury on Tuesday.
The tourists then slipped to 5-99 but with the aid of Test newcomer Jonassen, who hit a brilliant unbeaten 95, Australia rallied to ensure honours finished even after day one.
Jonassen, the 22-year-old Queensland right-hander who was one of three players to receive their 'baggy greens' prior to the toss, hit 10 fours in her 186-ball stay, batting for a shade over four hours to frustrate an England side that had been on top after Shrubsole's four-wicket burst.
Batting first, after Meg Lanning won the toss in the first fully-televised women's Test, Australia struggled to lay bat on ball against England's opening pair of Katherine Brunt and Shrubsole.
In overcast and humid conditions both England seamers got the ball to swing and nip around off the seam.
It took England 21.5 overs to make their first breakthrough and part a half-century Australian opening stand between debutante Nicole Bolton and Elyse Villani, who edged to Heather Knight at first slip to be out for 33.
Four runs on and Shrubsole struck again, Australian skipper Lanning (3) sparring with a near identical delivery to be caught smartly once more by Knight.
Bolton (36), the left-handed opener who was also making her Test debut for the tourists, then had her leg stump pegged back by a Shrubsole in-swinger that sailed through the gate, while Ellyse Perry nicked a defensive push into her pad, which ballooned up for England keeper Sarah Taylor to snare.
Australia then found themselves five down with fewer than 100 on the board when Brunt trapped Alex Blackwell lbw for seven on her 200th international appearance for Australia.
Australia rallied, but soon after tea Laura Marsh removed Alyssa Healy (39) to end a sixth-wicket stand with Jonassen that had added 77 from 129 balls.
Healy, who had been dropped at point off a sliced drive when on 21, played across one from Marsh that pitched on the stumps and straightened to make it 6-176.
Sarah Coyte (3) followed soon after, before Megan Schutt (11) was also removed to reduce Australia to 8-206.
That would prove to be England's last success of the day, as Jonassen and fellow debutante Kristen Beams (24 not out) dug in for an hour-and-a-half to thwart Charlotte Edwards' side with an unbroken ninth-wicket stand worth 62.

Business plans
From MediaWiki
A five-year business plan was completed in October 2010, and updated in 2013.
Since this plan contains detailed information about our competitiveness, it is not available to the general public.
If you are a potential investor or member, you can see our complete business plan under non-disclosure agreement.
As of 29 February 2012, we are organized as ten distinct profit centres, plus a cost centre for general overhead. Each profit centre is assessed a portion of general overhead proportional to that profit centre's gross income.
|Expenses that are common to all profit centres get logged to this cost centre. Certain income, such as interest and long-term lodging rental, is also logged to this cost centre.
|EcoReality principals and associates are skilled educators. We have offered programs ranging from two hours to two weeks on Permaculture Design, Composting, Soils, Propagation, Small Energy Systems, Biodiesel Production, Water Management and Irrigation, and Livestock Systems, as well as numerous non-agricultural topics, such as Bead Weaving and Photography.
Past educational clients include University of British Columbia, Simon Fraser University, O.U.R. Ecovillage, and Quest University. Past educational events include talks by author and community development expert Diana Leafe Christian, author and sustainable economy expert Mike Nickerson, natural builder Adam Perry, facilitation trainer Tree Bressen, filmmaker Paul Manly, Greenpeace International founder Rex Wiler, green architect Paula Baker-Laporte, and author and social activist Starhawk, among others.
We will continue to integrate revenue-producing education into all our activities, organizing educational events and activities around our food and energy production activities in a synergistic manner.We will continue to use revenue-neutral education to attract "free" labour from interns and work-exchange workers. In such cases, we will seek outside funding to cover our costs of food and lodging for non-revenue exchange workers.
|Our lodging capabilities allow us to extend our sustainability education activities into the realm of agri-tourism. We operate "bed and breakfast" operations to those who want to learn about self- sufficiency and sustainability on a level that is in-between voluntary labour and formal educational programs. Farm animals and healthy, delicious, organic, home-made meals make this attractive to those who would like something beyond the typical B&B scene.
|Market Garden
|We have been producing small quantities of market garden goods, with larger quantities of several specific items, such as garlic.
Continual development of a 1.5 acre area is creating passively irrigated permanent garden beds, suitable for a wide variety of produce, eventually expanding into an irrigated ten acre hayfield.We will identify niche areas of low-competition products, and will focus on those products for future market garden activities.
|Transplant Propagation
|We have identified transplant propagation as an important low-competition area for immediate development. This is an important "synergy" niche, because we need its product for our other profit centers, notably market garden production and medicinal herb production.
We have built a 3,550 sqft greenhouse, divided into three areas with separate temperature and water control for propagation, nursery, and direct planting. Winter plans include limited heating with biodiesel produced on-site, and through passive solar heating.By producing our own starts, we will get to market earlier in the season and reduce the cost of commercially-available starts. By using our own biofuel, we'll significantly reduce the cost of late winter and early spring heating, when passive solar heating cannot meet our greenhouse heating needs.
|Our largest income producer to date has been pasture-fed, raw organic goat dairy products, available only to those who purchase a share of the animals and associated infrastructure, in a community supported dairy operation.
We would like to grow this profit centre slowly and steadily at a natural rate to keep pace with demand.Our current limit is the amount of hay we can store through the winter, and money from new investors may go toward a larger hay barn.
|We have been producing modest numbers of organic, pasture-fed eggs, with a loyal clientele. We plan modest growth up to 99 hens over the next few years, beyond which requires a commercial permit and a lot of additional paperwork and expense.
|We have eleven heritage pear trees, eight apple trees, and seven hazelnut trees, plus numerous sources of "wildcrafted" fruit on site.
We plan to expand our fruit and nut production with additional cane, bush, tree, and field perennials.Although we market some of this fruit through local grocers and directly, the primary customer of this profit centre will be our own value-added products.
|This is an unconventional business, but one that is important for our economic resiliency, because its value should track the spiraling cost of petroleum products. We can produce biodiesel from local restaurant waste oil.
The feedstock (local restaurant waste) is currently free, but if the price of petroleum-based diesel increases significantly, we may have to pay for waste oil. The primary cost is methanol, which currently amounts to about 60 cents a liter in the finished product. We have been collecting from four local restaurants, producing 120 liters of biodiesel per week. This was about ten times our own needs. As with the raw dairy, we can legally distribute the excess to co-op shareholders with sufficient mark-up to cover both direct expenses and a share of general co-op overhead expense. The local market supports approximately a 30% premium for locally-produced biodiesel ($1.40 per liter vs. $1.10 for commercial dino-diesel).
We are working in partnership with a local inventor who will collaborate to put a wind turbine on site. This "first generation" turbine will be primarily an education and demonstration tool, generating a few kilowatt-hours per month, primarily used for battery charging. Part of this project will be to research and initiate feed-in tariff agreements with BC Hydro, in preparation for producing more substantial amounts of energy in the future.
We intend to pursue micro-hydro potential on this site and an adjoining community farmland property. Estimated generation potential is about 20 megawatt-hours annually, generated primarily during the winter. While the income from this at current retail electricity rates is insignificant, BC Hydro is poised to offer significant feed-in tariff increases for renewable energy, which could make this a five-figure income annually.We also produce all our own firewood, which is "sold" internally at cost to site residents. As such, this is not really an income producer for EcoReality, but it does allow EcoReality residents to invest their normal heating expense in other ways.
|Using synergy among the various profit centers, EcoReality is poised to craft unique value-added products that have broad appeal to regional and island customers.
We plan a number of premium "zero mile" products, where nearly all the ingredients come from within the Fulford Valley. In such a case, a product that is unique becomes premium, and a product that is ordinary becomes unique.
For example, we currently produce both unique jellies that contain wildcrafted fruits, and "ordinary" grape jelly. The demand for "hawberry jelly" is already high, but when we replace the sugar in our grape jelly with locally-produced honey, it becomes a "zero mile, zero-CO2" product, which we have determined has much greater appeal.Similarly, greenhouse starts produced using "zero mile, zero-CO2" biodiesel for heating fuel will have greater appeal than competitors' greenhouse starts produced using conventional polluting energy sources for greenhouse heat.
|Medicinal Herbs
|We have identified medicinal herbs as an important part of local resiliency. Many naturopaths and herbalists obtain supplies from China, and would love to have a local source. In addition, it is thought that local herbs have a greater efficacy, since they are adapted to the local environment. The bulk dried herb market will continue to be dominated by large foreign producers.

Have Mental Health Questions? Ask a Psychiatrist Online
Hi, I'd like to help you with your question.
It sounds like your daughter is either not willing to help herself because of laziness, fear or she is depressed. Either way, you are going to need to set some deadlines to get her to move out of your home and on her own.
So far, it sounds like she has had little reason to be motivated to help herself. She may be scared to do so. It seems that since her husband left, she has lived with others. She may fear living alone. But she needs to face this fear so she can be independent again.
Talk with her about setting a deadline for her to move out, maybe six months to nine months from now (or whatever time frame you are comfortable with. Just be sure it is reasonable). Then set up a schedule with her with deadlines for finding a job. Start with a certain amount of resumes she is to send out each week in her search. While she is at home with you, have her complete chores. Let her know that she will owe money towards the costs of the home by a certain date, say two weeks from now. But do not change the move out date. If you start giving in and moving the date, she will stay indefinitely.
Remind her often about her move out date. Discuss her progress with finding a job. Keep the topic out in the open so she knows you are thinking about it and that it is a real deadline.
If she needs help, guide her to those who can help her. She needs to learn to rely less on you and start making connections in the community. A therapist would be a good person for her to work with to help her deal with her feelings about living on her own. Also, a career counselor could help her as well. She can contact her local community mental health center for help. They have many resources to help her get back on her feet.
If you are willing, you can offer to keep her kids with you until she settles in her new home. She may feel overwhelmed at first and need time to sort things out. Make it a set time frame, say two weeks, then send the kids with her.
She could also live nearby you, if that works for you. She could still have the security of having you close, but not be living with you.
I hope this has helped you,Kate

I Am Unable to Apply Discount Coupon Codes to Individual ProductsAsked by coloradomtb on March 14, 2015 at 04:39 PM

When I select Products I do not see a list of items to choose the items I want to deselect from applying the discount.
Please advise.

Upon cloning your jotform I discovered that it's the HTML tags used to make the product text red and bold which is causing the problem:
Once you remove those tags (both the opening and closing ones) the coupon section will function correctly.

Five of us stayed at this condo while attending a work-related conference in Sunset Beach. The owner was awesome to work with and the condo met our needs perfectly. Great view of the ocean. Everything was exactly as described; clean and well-maintained. Quiet and relaxing. We will definitely consider staying here again.
My family and I just finished up a wonderful stay at this condo. We had 4 adults and 2 kids under the age of 6. The condo was perfectly situated on the island to be quick access to restaurants, etc as well as very easy access to the beach. The beach access is directly across the street from this unit which made for a really quick walk. The view from the living room and back deck were amazing - it makes you feel like you are beachfront. There is a really spacious elevator located directly beside the parking for this unit which made the unloading and loading process very easy. The unit is on the top floor (3rd Floor) of the building. The inside of the condo was extremely clean and well maintained. We cooked most of our meals and the kitchen had everything we needed. The bonus area (4th bedroom) was perfect for the kids. With a Playstation and XBox 360, the limited amount of time we did end up spending in the condo was enjoyable for the adults and kids. Between the condo and the weather (low 70's every day) we had the perfect Thanksgiving vacation. My family has stayed at several rentals in this area and Kaye and Matt's place was hands down the best deal we have run across. We will certainly keep it in mind for our next beach get-a-way.
Wonderful, 3 generations stayed this past week, we had a great time! A first in this area, we totally enjoyed our stay in this pretty and well equipped condo. Enjoyed a very clean beach, beautiful pool, boating and lots of family time! Owner super easy to work with!
This condo exceeded my expectations in every way! It was clean, comfortable, and beautifully decorated. It's RIGHT across the street from the beach and has amazing views. The owners were easily accessible and great to work with. Ocean Isle is gorgeous, and this staying in this condo is definitely going to become a family tradition for us!
We cannot say enough wonderful things about our stay at this Ocean Isle Beach Condo. It is warm and inviting, impeccably decorated and so well maintained it feels brand new. It has a spectacular ocean view and a wonderful community pool overlooking the ocean! Some of our most enjoyable moments is just sitting out on the deck in the morning having breakfast watching for dolphins. The condo has everything you could possibly need for your stay and one of the nicest family vacation spots we've ever come across. The owners are very accommodating and handle arrangements with such ease it is just the start to a hassle free and very relaxing vacation. This is actually our third stay at this condo and we can highly recommend it. Our kids were younger the first time we went and begged to go back, and now as teenagers, they are just as excited as we are when planning the trip. They have gone fishing, jet skiing, golfing and enjoy a trip to Barefoot Landing a unique outdoor shopping area just minutes away in North Myrtle Beach where you can have your picture taken with tigers, ride a mechanical bull or even a camel. You can do as much or as little as you want. We love it and plan on many more trips to come. Although we just returned, I'm already counting the days until we go back next year:)
The location of the condo is amazing! The beach is right across the street and there are plenty of things to do around the area. I stayed here with a bunch of friends for spring break last year as well and we had a great time. The view is wonderful and you couldn't feel more at home! The list to come here for vacation goes on and on...
Families look no further! This condo is perfect for little ones and grandparents alike. The elevator makes access to the third floor easy. Enjoy the beautiful view of the ocean - which is right across the street - as well as the sound. As a guest of the Islander Villas you have free use of the pool and its amenities, tennis courts as well as wireless internet. Great golf and tourist attractions are close by. The amenities inside and out make it so comfortable and homey you won't want your vacation to end!

We all tell stories. As kids we create friends to keep us company and to feel safe. Todd was no different. He had many imaginary friends in his childhood though as an adult he says he cannot remember them. The only reason he knows he once did was from stories his parents told him. He says he is past such childish ideas now-a-days, but that for some reason he did create the idea of Gray Fox.
He said that it was just his imagination. When he was board he would daydream about a mysterious warrior who lived in the shadows, was the most cunning of fighters, and whose sole purpose was to protect others. Todd says that the Gray Fox was never a clear picture in his mind. Based on the specific daydream the Fox would look different. But there seemed to be certain aspects that always stayed the same. He could never picture its face. Either it was in too much shadow or had a hood or something coving it. Todd couldn't really tell if it was a man or woman but says he thinks of Gray Fox as a man. And more often than not Todd would see Gray fox carrying a giant sward that gleamed faintly in the dark.
He doesn't talk about this imaginary character a lot though he says he thinks about him all the time. He images that it is the alter ego of himself that he ends up using to make him feel safe when he feels edgy or scared. "I always feel better when I think about him being around, kicking ass" he said once.
With time though it seemed that Gray Fox became more than just a daydream, it grew a life of its own. Todd would sometimes talk about Gray Fox like it was a real person. Or that he could become it or was it. He ended up making an e-mail account and other accounts to websites under the name Gray Fox and would post cryptic ideas and warnings. Most people didn't think too much of this since there's plenty of people who did stupid shit like this on the internet. It can be kind of entertaining at times. Plus he didn't do it that often. Mostly when he wanted to say something but didn't want to be known by using his main account.
But something weird began to happen. Todd would say that someone was hacking his Gray Fox account and would post things. He didn't notice until he was reading some posts and saw that there was a post from "Gray Fox" that he knew that he didn't post himself. He looked at his account and saw that the history showed someone had made the post with his account. But that post was not made by him. He thought about taking the Gray Fox account down, but he really didn't want to get rid of the account. So, he decided to just change the password and tried to beef up the protection of both the Gray Fox account and his main one. He said he thought that would be enough. Given that there was no important information on the Gray Fox account the hacking was more of an annoyance that anything else.
But the hacking wouldn't stop. If fact he said it just got worse. There would be more posts and he would take more action only for it to happen again. He couldn't seem to figure out what to do. And what was even weirder was that whoever was hacking was just doing what he had planned to do with the account. Sending useful information, warnings, and links to more information when someone was desperate for help. BUT it wasn't coming from Todd. It was driving him nuts. It finally came to a head when Todd started to harass the hacker by trying to discredit and adding stupid comments whenever 'Gray Fox' made a post. He would also try to stay on his Gray Fox account so that whoever was hacking wouldn't have access. But still Gray Fox was posting.
Finally as a last ditch attempt to stop the hacker he sent an e-mail stating that if the random posting didn't stop, if this person didn't leave his account alone he would close it. The following was that discussion:
"You have no right to my account Todd. It is mine. It always was. -Gray Fox"
"You gave me this account. You made it for me. I am just doing as you expect of me. Don't stand in my way. -Gray Fox"
"What? Are you trying to act like the real Gray Fox? I'm sorry to tell you but that person doesn't even exist. So stop acting like it! If I see you on my account one more time I swear I will close the account for good and will find a way to report you!! -Todd"
"fine. If you want it that way Todd I'll stop helping you. I WILL LEAVE YOU ALONE. Good luck…"
Todd says that after reading that e-mail he felt really weird. The last e-mail sent was weirdly worded. 'leave you alone'? way say it like that? Todd felt a chill go through him as he thought about it. His Cat Grim at that moment freaked out, crying and ran from the room to hide under the bed. No matter what Todd did the cat wouldn't move.
As the days passed Todd kept feeling worse and worse. The chill wouldn't leave; he would get headaches; he would always have a feeling of fear when he was in the dark; he felt like he was being watched but by something he never felt before, something evil; he would sometimes catch in the corner of his eye something dark and not right; and the nightmares, he said they were the worst.
He didn't really know what was going on but he couldn't take it anymore. He also knew it had something to do with Gray Fox. Did it really leave him? Was it protecting him all along? He felt all alone and as stupid of an idea as it sounds he just wanted Gray Fox back. So one night when he was no doubt at his lowest he called for help. He called out for Gray Fox to come back.

About James
Most politicians are very good at assembling a majority in order to get elected. That does not mean that they know what to do after they are elected.
Most politicians seem to believe that the way things are and the way things have always been done are the way things should be done.
Most politicians are conventional, traditional, uncreative, afraid to do things differently.
I have spent my adult life studying the law, and I will be less dependent on others for information about what can and cannot be done.
There are many things that can be done to improve our health, improve our economy, improve mobility, and generally improve the quality of life here. For that reason …
I am running an issues campaign. My opponents are running an image campaign. See my Platform Page. Look at John Lovick's web site. John does not address any of the important issues I raise.
See Dave Somers' website. See Robert J. Sutherland's 2014 web site. I cannot find a web site for Norm Nunnaly.
My opponents talk about their elective experience, but they say little or nothing about what they want to do to make Snohomish County a better place.
I maintain that my broad experience as an attorney and my knowledge of the law and what can and cannot be done by and on behalf of Snohomish County are far more important that how many times I have been elected to public office.
Instead of an image campaign, I am running an issues campaign. Counties are closer to the people, and through police power and zoning power, the people can pass laws which are often difficult to pass on the federal or state level.
Read more at JamesRobertDeal.org/platform.
It had never occurred to me to run for public office until 2012. It was an issue that drove me to run. I realized that the best way to take my issue to the greatest number of people was to run for office. So I ran for Lieutenant Governor in 2012, and I ran for Lynnwood City Council in 2013.
The vexing issue I felt so strongly about is that we should have safe water. Our water should be safe for everyone to drink and safe to drink in whatever quantity one desires or needs to consume. The right to safe, clean drinking water is a right higher even that the rights in the Bill of Rights. In fact, the right to clean water is implied in the Constitution. The Fifth Amendment says:
[N]or shall any person . . . be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.
One cannot have a healthy life if he or she is deprived of safe drinking water. The poor are forced to drink what comes out of the tap. They cannot afford expensive filtration. They may not have transportation to haul heavy jugs of water home. They may not be able to afford to buy or haul water. The middle class is largely unaware that the tap water they drink in Snohomish County is slow poison.
Water should be safe for pregnant mothers to drink, safe for infants, diabetics, arthritics, and safe for those with kidney, and thyroid disease. Unfortunately it is not safe for any of these groups. It is unsafe for them in the short run. It is unsafe for all of us in the long run.
Note that we consume water in the form of the food and beverages we eat and drink since most foods and beverages contain water. Water containing dilute toxic waste is impossible to avoid without going to great expense and difficulty.
It vexes me that in Snohomish County we add dilute toxic waste to our drinking water. We call it "fluoride", but it is really toxic waste. Our cities and water districts have been defrauded by big chemical companies into adding so-called "fluoride" to our water.
It is a great disapointment to me that the City Council of Everett and the Snohomish County Board of Health are completely tone deaf to the science I have explained to them as well as the law on the subject. They are completely duped by misinformed fluoridationists in high positions, who themselves are duped.
It is not naturally occurring calcium fluoride we are adding to our water. Calcium fluoride is not even classified as a poison. It is not pharmaceutical grade fluoride we are adding.
It is commercial grade, and it is the unfiltered and unprocessed scrubber liquor from the wet scrubbers in the snokestacks of super phosphate fertilizer plants in Florida, Mexico, and China. It is the worst kind of fluoride. It is not even correct to call it "fluoride" because it contains so many other toxic elements and chemicals.
It is mostly fluorosilicic acid and hydrogen fluoride plus significant amounts of lead, arsenic, mercury, cadmium, and thallium. It is mined out of filthy ore which contains every element on the periodic table. It is filth, and so the water we are forced to drink is dilute filth.
The type of fluoride used leaches lead out of pipes, a lot of lead. Agencies show endless concern about the lead in lead paint but ignore the lead in drinking water. Peer reviewed studies show that when fluoridation stops, blood lead levels drop, as happened in Tacoma when fluoridation was stopped briefly.
Since 1978 it has been illegal to let the pollution go up the smoke stacks and illegal to dump it into the sea, river, or lake. But the Everett City Council injects it into my drinking water at the rate of 250 gallons per day, at a cost of $25,000 per month.
Everett sells its toxic water to other water districts, such as the Alderwood Water District, which in turns sells it to Lynnwood. The same thing happens throughout Snohomish County. Everett has an abundant source of the purest water in the nation. It comes from Spada lake and Lake Chaplain, near Sultan. It is snow melt water and rain water, and it is as pure as water can be – until Everett Water Districts adds toxic waste dental chemicals to it.
These toxins are hard to excrete and they accumulate over the course of our lifetimes. If you drink fluoridated water you may be less healthy in your old age and your life may be shortened. These toxins are especially harmful to diabetics, and to those with arthritis and thyroid, kidney, and heart disease. Around one percent of the general population is severely allergic to this so-called fluoride. Blacks and Hispanics are impacted more than Whites. But these toxins are most harmful to fetuses and infants because their cells are still dividing. Studies show IQ reductions and brain damage.
Convincing studies show that this so-called fluoride, at the concentrations at which we dump it into rivers and Sound, narcotizes salmon and repels and kills them.
Note that most water filters do not remove this so-called fluoride nor lead nor arsenic. A distiller is the only reliable way to remove these contaminants. Reverse osmosis filtration may or may not remove them, and it is hard to known when the reverse osmosis filter has ceased to be effective. The common carbon block filter or the popular Britta filter do not remove fluoride. Fluoride is highly attracted to calcium, and so bone char filters will remove fluoride.
Employing the big lie technique, chemical companies sell this so-called fluoride to us as an elixir that allegedly protects teeth when ingested. This is all a multi-billion dollar lie. It was brought to you by the same people who brought you tetraethyl lead. It is important to understand that captains of industry will lie to buyers for profit.
I have studied the issue in great depth and looked at it from all sides. I have read hundreds of scientific journal articles. I exchange emails with science professors – in the US, Canada, Australia, the Irish Republic, and other countries.
I also read the pro-fluoridationist literature. I am always most interested in reading anything that supports so-called fluoridation and challenges my conclusions. If I am wrong, I want to know it.
I can assure you that if you will go to Fluoride Alert or www.Fluoride-Class-Action.com/safewater and do a few hours reading on the subject, you will agree with me: This so-called fluoridation is not safe, not effective, and not legal. The politicians supporting it have believed a big lie. They are in a trance induced by lies coming from trusted professionals they know. The trusted professionals in turn are in the same trance. They are all in a maze and unable to find the exit. Chemical companies with toxic waste to sell start the lies, lobby to get their people into positions of influence in medical schools, dental schools, and agencies such as the FDA, EPA, and CDC. Most fluoridationists are sincere, however, they are sincerely wrong.
Politicians get duped as easily as the dentists and medical doctors they trust. It is amazing to me just how tone deaf politicians can be on this subject. Fellow safe water advocates and I carefully explain the science and the law to city councils and supply them with stacks of scientific documents, and it is if they were deaf. I feel like I am trying to convince the Flat Earth Society that the earth is round.
I live in Lynnwood, where I work as a lawyer.
I went to law school at the University of Washington, wanting to be an environmental lawyer, but upon graduation I found that the only paying jobs for environmental lawyers was working for polluters. So for a living I help people modify their mortgages and hold onto their homes.
On the side, however, I do environmental law. It's my pro bono work and my primary reason for running. Read all about it as www.Fluoride-Class-Action.com. Drinking water should be as pure as possible, with as little additives as possible,and as safe as possible for people of all ages and all health conditions.
I wrote up my first fluoride broadsheet in August of 2005 and started passing it out. My broadsheets are 8.5″ x 14″ and double sided, and they pack in a lot of information. I put links in them to substantiate my arguments, and then I post the broadsheets on my website so readers can follow the links. See latest version of my boradsheet.
Most people who study the issue at all quickly conclude that even if this so-called fluoride is somehow good for teeth applied topically, it is not good when consumed orally for life, by people who drink different quantities of water, and by people which certain preconditions and illnesses.
This chemical is added to our water allegedly to prevent illness, and therefore it meets the definition of a drug. It is wrong to force a drug on people against their will. It violates our right to consent to or decline medical treatment.
Why do I think that as County Executive that I could do something about adding toxic dental chemicals to our water? It is the County Council which makes the laws. The answer is simple: If I am elected, it will be a clear sign that the people of Snohomish County want this foolish practice should come to an end.

An Enchanting Townat 240 × 180 in An Enchanting Town.
I visited this WHS in June 2014. I spent 3 splendid days living in a trullo in Aja Piccola, which is the residential quarter where most locals live. It's like stepping back in time with several old cars from the 60s and 70s parked outside the trulli. I visited the commercial quarter, Rione Monti, early in the morning and late in the afternoon/evening when all the tourist groups were gone or hadn't yet arrived. I visited many trulli to see the different interior designs and I must say that the ones in Aja Piccola are definitely not to be missed. The Trullo Sovrano and Casa Lippoli have been converted to museums but both are worth a visit. The Trullo Siamese is more interesting from the outside than the inside and the same applies to the quaint church in Rione Monti. The views overlooking the 1000+ trulli from here are worthwhile but the best views are from the Belvedere near Piazza del Popolo or the public gardens nearby. Unless you spend at least a night in a trullo in Alberobello wandering from one trullo to the next, gazing at the different pinnacles and white painted signs (Christian, Jewish or Pagan) on the trulli, to experience "slow tourism" at its best … you will miss out and you will end up looking at Alberobello as a tourist trap without realising all this surreal WHS needs to reveal its OUV is TIME!

Pallone Lauds President Obama's Action on Fuel Efficiency Standards
U.S. Rep. Frank Pallone, Jr. (D-NJ), a senior member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, today lauded President Obama's directive to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to reconsider a waiver from California that would have allowed the state to set strict automobile emission and fuel efficiency standards. The waiver, which was rejected by the Bush administration in December 2007, was supported by New Jersey and 12 other states.
The president also ordered the U.S. Department of Transportation to issue guidelines in order to ensure that the automobile industry is prepared to meet new vehicle fuel efficiency standards that begin to take effect in 2011. A 2007 law, supported by Pallone, requires all vehicles meet fuel efficiency standards of 35 miles per gallon by 2020.
The New Jersey congressman issued the following response to President Obama's action:
"President Obama signaled a dramatic shift in our nation's environmental policy this morning when he proclaimed that science will dictate his administration's actions on global warming. This is a refreshing change from eight years of the Bush administration blocking any effort to reverse the dangerous effects global warming is having on our planet.
"I commend the president for directing the EPA to reconsider the Bush administration's unfortunate rejection of a waiver that would allow New Jersey and 13 other states to set stricter automobile emissions standards than the federal rules. These states are true leaders in efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. I am confident the Bush administration's action will be reversed so that states like New Jersey can move ahead with their worthy efforts to confront global warming head on.
"While Congress passed landmark fuel efficiency standards in 2007, the Bush administration dragged its feet in setting the guidelines. President Obama's directive today sends a strong message to the automobile industry that it must begin the process of retooling its vehicles so that it can meet the new standards in two years. Such innovation is not only good for our planet, but also for American automakers."

I drive a 2006 BMW 330i fully loaded and I'm looking for a quality insurance company that has the lowest price.
Im looking to get liability, comprehensive and collision coverage on my car.
Or i might just go ahead with full coverage.
Which company will offer me the best rates on these insurance policies given my age, 21?
Most Helpful Girl
Try Checking into "The General," @blustar. This Most Amazing Company just Might be Able to give you a Great Rate in whatever State you live in.
If not, I have used Gieco when Living in New York City, and only Because "The General" would Not take on New York drivers. Got a Fairly good Rate with them here, dear.
I would not Suggest Some of the Others above. I believe they are More Expensive, I have Had a Few of Those in the Past.10|10|0
I went to compare dot com and The General was one of the lowest rates with the coverage plans i had in mind.
Do they have any benefits besides the low rates?
Thank you for the Like, @blustar.
Aside from them apparently Insuring you in your own state, which you must have found out will Benefit you, They also Are:
Financially Stable
Accept most cars and drivers
Low Down payments
Convenient Monthly payments
Quality Claims handling
*I have been with them for a long time, aside when I was Living in New York City, and I have found them Best from the Rest.
It's nice to have a Company that will Not Rake young drivers over the Coals. xx
Thank you for the Vote of Confidence, @blustar, and hoping it all worked out for you. xxoo

Your BMW dealership isn't the only place to locate trusted repair parts to fix your 735iL. It's not all the time that you find yourself in need of a replacement Fuel Filter to repair your automobile. While it may not be difficult to find replacement parts for BMW vehicles, these days only the absolute best are required to fix your automobile. You picked your 735iL because its sporty handling and European styling agreed with your nature; so why would you settle for second rate when it comes to great quality auto parts?
You can't get great gas mileage and horsepower at the same time without the best air intake and fuel delivery parts. The fuel filter in your car or truck keeps tiny particulates that may be flowing from your gas tank to the fuel injectors out of the fuel supply. This dirt affects the performance and fuel economy of the engine in your BMW 735iL, because dirty gas lowers its octane and could create pre-detonation and knocking. When your BMW 735iL fuel filter becomes overrun with trapped dirt, your fuel supply will be restricted and the same effects could result. That is why it is important to change your fuel filter every year.
At Car Parts Discount, we have live customer service members here with enough expertise to help you select the appropriate BMW 735iL part for your project or repair. Given all the trouble that can be involved with repairing damage to your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the first place you go to make buying it easy. Procuring new BMW parts from www.carpartsdiscount.com means you are paying the lowest prices for the most superior original and aftermarket replacement 735iL parts on the internet. If your car or truck was built in 1992, 1991, 1990, 1989, 1988, then you will find the correct BMW 735iL Fuel Filter parts right here.

My mother was diagnosed with IDC level 3. I feel like her doctors are not being aggressive and seem to wait and see. What are the first steps to treatment?READ MORE
What is survival rate for level 3 invasive ductal carcinoma?
Hi Krissy: First, please read our IDC FAQS, to acquaint yourself fully with this diagnosis. The first step in treatment is usually either surgery to remove the tumor; or chemo to shrink the tumor. That said, there's often quite a lag between diagnosis and onset of treatment, sometimes up to 6 weeks or so. Various doctors/surgeons need to be scheduled, and it doesn't always fall into place quickly. Following surgery, your mother would probably have chemo (if she hasn't already); and possibly radiation, depending on the pathology of the tumor, where it was located, etc. Then, she might take hormone drugs. This is a pretty typical course of treatment. Hope this helps. Good luck - PJH
They did a lumphectomy first on me and i requested both breast be removed a lateral masectomy both breast were removed and i had 6 rounds of chemo and 33rounds of radiation..I was diagnosed in 2009 and am now cancer free i would say deal with this aggresively it can spread quickly and needs to be treated harshly to remove it..Lot's of prayer is important as well..Hope this helped a little and God bless you Sandie HallYou should know Answers to your question are meant to provide general health information but should not replace medical advice you receive from a doctor.

Formed in 1955 in Brooklyn, New York, USA, the Tokens were one of the most successful white harmony groups of the early 60s, best known for their 1961 number 1 single The Lion Sleeps Tonight (number 11 in the UK). The group was originally called the Linc-Tones (taken from Lincoln High School, which the original members all attended) and comprised tenor vocalist Hank Medress (19 November 1938, Brooklyn, New York City, New York, USA, d. 19 June 2007), Neil Sedaka (b. 13 March 1939, Brooklyn, New York City, New York, USA), Eddie Rabkin and Cynthia Zolitin. The following year Rabkin left and was replaced by Jay Siegel (b. 20 October 1939, Brooklyn, New York City, New York, USA). With that line-up the group recorded I Love My Baby for the Melba label, with no success. The next change came in 1958 when Sedaka departed for a hugely successful solo career as a performer and songwriter. Zolitin also left in 1958 and the remaining duo carried on for a...

Richard Angwin | 03 Dec 2011 11:13 GMT | Environment, Humanitarian crises, Weather, US & Canada, Latin America It could almost be called the forgotten drought. Water shortages across the southern states of the United States have made regular headlines over the last few months, whilst the plight of the people and animals across the border in northern Mexico has received little attention. Only now that rain and snow are beginning to fall in the U.S. has attention turned to those living in five of Mexico's northern states where the effect of the worst drought in at least 70 years is being worst felt. The figures are staggering; it is estimated that the country's farmers have lost more than two million acres of crops and 1.7 million livestock have died, either through lack of water or starvation. Almost 1,500 villages close to the border with the U.S. are relying on government tanker deliveries of drinking water.It is highly likely that the drought, which has seen the lowest annual rainfall since records began in 1941, is directly linked to La Nina. The prospects for the region do not look good. The dry season stretches on until at least June of 2012.Source: Al Jazeera

Child's play grows up... a little!
Adam and Joe have put away their childish things, but Seth Green and Matthew Senreich are continuing the Brit comedy duos legacy of doing very wrong things with toys. This hit US TV show comprises a series of stop-motion skits for pop-culture aficionados with ADD. Their success depends on whether you find the idea of Optimus Prime developing prostate cancer, Bob Marley singing on Zombie Idol and lots of people getting kicked in the nuts inherently funny. With such a quick-fire pace, many of the gags fail to hit the mark, but with an impressive voice cast (including the likes of Sarah Michelle Gellar, Scarlett Johansson, David Hasselhoff and Mark Hamill) happily taking the piss out of themselves, its hard not to get caught up in the bad-taste-tinged silliness.

For three decades, the work of Chilean photographer Sergio Larrain was seen only by archivists. Now, two years after his death, Larrain's images are finally getting their due.
FOR CHILEAN PHOTOGRAPHER SERGIO LARRAIN, beauty was in the details: a child's face, a dog, a reflection. "The perfect photograph is a kind of miracle that appears in a blaze of light," Larrain wrote. "You press the button almost by chance and the miracle happens."
Now, two years after Larrain's death, the Aperture Foundation has published more than 200 of his photographs in an eponymous book, and a retrospective of his work curated by the Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson is touring the world.
Born in Santiago in 1931, Larrain worked prolifically in the late 1950s and 1960s, with assignments from Magnum Photos and Henri Cartier-Bresson taking him around the globe. Then, in the late 1970s, he stopped. "I feel that the pressures of journalism—the need to be ready to jump on a story at any moment—destroys my concentration and love of work," Larrain wrote. He retreated to northern Chile to live a life of monastic seclusion, painting, drawing, and practicing yoga.
Even at the height of his career, Larrain rarely exhibited his work, and later in his life, he mandated that his photos not be shown until after his death. Agnès Sire, the director of the Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson, exchanged hundreds of letters with Larrain over the course of 30 years, and she edited the book and curated the retrospective. "It was never his purpose to show a place," says Sire. "He was not a journalist. He reacted as a poet, as an artist. He wanted to express his feelings in a place."
All photos were taken in Chile between 1952 and 1963. Photos from the Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson are on exhibit at the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes in Santiago, Chile, through July 15. Sergio Larrain is available through the Aperture Foundation. $85, aperture.org.
This appeared in the June/July 2014 issue.
