Marriage amendment foes are putting a premium on friendly and compassionate conversation. The fiscal cliff that looms in Congress could put Minnesota's economy through the shredder. Jim Graves is campaigning to not be the fourth Democrat to lose a congressional election against Michele Bachmann. And look at the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Antietam - the single bloodiest day in United States history. First, the marriage amendment:
Conversation and compassion
With two polls out this week showing that Minnesotans favor a proposed constitutional amendment that would make marriage only between a man and a woman, opponents of the measure are in the midst of a strategy they think will sway voters. A key component will be conversations with voters designed to elicit compassion for gays and lesbians. That's important, the opponents say, because arguments against discrimination haven't worked in other states.
The shredder
Congress returns to Washington this week to continue its short session before the November election, but political observers say lawmakers are unlikely to agree on a plan for taxes and spending, a stalemate that bodes poorly for the states. Without such a deal, a number of tax hikes and spending cuts will automatically kick in Jan 1. If that happens, it would be devastating to the Minnesota economy.
Can Graves buck the trend?
Jim Graves, a property management executive, is trying to do what three other Democrats failed to do in the 6th District: defeat Republican U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann. Although the Graves campaign is encouraged by a recent internal poll showing a competitive race, he is struggling with fundraising -- and that same poll shows that voters throughout the district don't know him, even after six months of campaigning.
Poligraph: GOP flier lacks details and context
It is fall in an election year, and that means Minnesotans will find their mailboxes overflowing with fliers trumping up the accomplishments - or failures - of one lawmaker or another. Such a flier from the Republican Party of Minnesota simultaneously praises the record of Rep. Diane Anderson, R-Eagan, and criticizes the record of former DFL Rep. Sandra Masin, who is challenging Anderson. And it leaves key facts and context.
Polls prompt Romney to change his tactics
As Republicans openly fret about the state of their nominee's campaign and polls appear to show Obama with an advantage just seven weeks before Election Day, Mitt Romney's campaign says it's changing its focus to offer more concrete examples of how the candidate might govern.
Wisconsin's union law tossed by judge
Wisconsin's attorney general says he will seek court permission to keep enforcing a state law that effectively ended collective bargaining for public employees while his office appeals a judge's ruling striking it down. A Dane County judge issued a ruling Friday overturning almost all of the law that has been a hallmark of Republican Gov. Scott Walker.
The most savage day
From as far away as Minnesota, Colorado and Ohio they came, more than 30 members of the Bloss and Mitchell families who converged on the hallowed Civil War fighting grounds of rural Maryland. John McKnight Bloss, now 81, tried to sum up what this gathering of his clan was about. He wanted the younger generation to "understand the sacrifices that were made" on the single bloodiest day in United States history at Antietam 150 years ago.
Wolf hunt watchdogs notch court win
A Wisconsin judge has refused to throw out a lawsuit challenging the use of dogs in this winter's wolf hunt, marking another victory for a group of humane societies working to reduce the chances of deadly dog-wolf encounters in the woods.
Pass (on) the salt
American children eat as much salt as adults -- about 1,000 milligrams too much, or the same amount as in just one Big Mac, according to a new study. The findings matter because extra salt is linked with higher blood pressure, even in kids, and government research says those who are overweight and obese may be most vulnerable to its effects.
Skipping freshman year
Matt Peterson is not a typical incoming freshman at the University of Minnesota, thanks to a high school program called the know as the Post Secondary Enrollment Option that allows him to bypass a lot of freshman year courses.
Get out there: New Ulm
New Ulm tourism revolves around several annual music and cultural festivals, including Bavarian Blast and Oktoberfest -- but there are fun things to do any time of the year. With the help of recommendations by New Ulm residents in our Public Insight Network, we've assembled a list of seven things to do in this town of 13,500.

|Dominika Miloszewska featured in four of Poland's first six games at the U18 European Championship Women and was their top scorer and rebounder after the first two rounds
Poland came to the U18 European Championship Women with a single goal in mind. They just wanted to avoid relegation. Now they find themselves in the Quarter-Finals.
How did that happen? Well, the secret lies in playing with heart, believing in yourself and, last but not least, have a little bit of fun on the basketball court.
The moments that followed the Polish side's win over Slovenia in the Preliminary Round are unforgettable.
The FIBA Europe TV crew took Karolina Wilk aside for the post-game interview. She was all smiles and happiness. However she died her best to keep a serious face in front of the camera.
But she was not left alone by her teammates. They all joined behind her, a bunch of effervescent teenagers, and they tried really hard to let her go through the interview. As soon as she pronounced the last word though, the riot errupted.
Team spirit. Joy. Passion.
"We came here to avoid relegation. That win against Slovenia helped us a lot in the Preliminary Round," said Poland head coach Adam Zieminski.
Poland came to Oradea with eight players born in 1994. This is a generation for the future. A further four players, all of them born in the same year, stayed home because of different injuries.
Still, they are not playing the Classification Round for 13th to 16th place. Not even in the one for 9th to 12th place.
A minor miracle? Yes, according to coach Zieminski.
"Our federation, our basketball journalists, everybody back home, were just hoping that we will stay in the elite. They did not put any pressure on us, knowing the situation. Now, they will believe for sure that we made some miracle here, at this tournament," he explained.
They advanced to the Quarter-Finals after a tough game against the home team, Romania.
It was a do-or-die encounter, but with a small advantage for the Polish side, as they could qualify even if they lost the game by a small margin.
But that wasn't an option for Karolina, Monika, Dominika and the other members of the fun gang.
"I am so happy I don't even remember what happened on the court. We started the game with Romania a little bit slower, but we proved we are a team. We never ceased to support each other and at every time-out we kept telling each other that we cannot lose," said Wilk after the win with the hosts.
This game offered another image of the exuberant Polish team. When Monika Skrzecz beat the buzzer with her huge three-point shot at the end of the third quarter, she was suffocated by her colleagues on the bench.
They were so unbelievably happy that the coaches had to intervene and remind them that there is still another quarter to play.
But once again, as a team, they held on, and in the end the screaming and the laughter of the happy Polish girls were an oasis in the silenced "Antonio Alexe Arena" in Oradea.
From now on there is nothing to worry about. They will still be welcomed home as heroes, no matter what the result in their quarter-final clash with mighty France is.
"They are one of the strongest teams here. We played them in a friendly game and it was a debacle for us. We know what to expect and I just hope that we will play better than in preparations against them," said coach Zieminsky.
But that is for the coach to worry. The members of the fun gang are busy preparing another big miracle and... having fun in the process. After all, who can stop them from dreaming?

What? You don't believe a man who thinks certain classes of guns should be restricted to only police and military doesn't really believe in the 2nd. He says he does, and the 1st and the 4th, well with certain exceptions of course to be decided upon by wise people like him. It's for our own good you know. Leave all that evil semi-auto stuff to the professionals and boogermen. We can all stick to Grandpa's single shot shotgun and SAA colt revolver. (loaded with black powder of course)
Good intentions will always be pleaded for any assumption of power. The Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern will, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters.

You cannot understand the doctrines and the commands the roles and relationshisp of the Bible clearly and deeply without a clear understanding of the Gospel. In this sense the Gospel makes everything else make more sense. It is the "rosetta stone" for every other command and pattern in the Bible. The Gospel is the center point of everything. As the center point, it explains and interprets everything else. Everything points to the Gospel and the Gospel points to everything.
One of the reasons it is critical for believers to continually consider the Gospel, is that they need a constant framework from which to understand everything. The Gospel clarifies everything. The Gospel sweetens everything. You cannot understand marriage, headship, submission, child raising, discipleship, work, preaching, church discipline or anything else unless you see how the Gospel calls for it and how it glorifies the Gospel.
One reason you should consider coming to the Power of the Gospe Conference, is that you will walk away with fresh eyes for all of life as well as a renewed understanding of everything that the Gospel commands, provides, produces and implies.

Sleet, snow move across parts of Texas
Published 3:11 pm, Sunday, February 2, 2014
Some areas of North Texas saw up to 2 inches of sleet and snow from a storm that brought up to 10 inches of snow across parts of West Texas.
National Weather Service meteorologist Steve Fano said there was a light accumulation of sleet in parts of the Dallas-Fort Worth area on Sunday afternoon.
A Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport spokesman said that about 285 departures were canceled Sunday, about 31 percent of the day's schedule. The airport said that on Sunday afternoon all runways and taxiways remained open and operational as the light amounts of freezing rain passed through. The airport had pretreated the airfield with de-icing materials.
The snow fell across parts of West Texas from Saturday night into Sunday morning.

PUPILS at Wood Farm Primary School got very messy decorating these fairy cakes for the Wood Farm Festival.
More than 40 year three pupils spent Friday morning icing the cupcakes which were sold at the afternoon fete to raise funds for the school.
At 20p each, the 100 cakes made £20 towards the total which staff are still counting up.
Year three teacher Sarah Fellows, 25, said: "It was brilliant, we had a lot of fun getting messy and spent all morning doing it."
Parents and others from Wood Farm joined the annual fete at the school, which also had a bouncy castle, face painting, ice cream and more stalls runs by pupils.
Money raised helps pay for field trips and a Christmas treat.

Malouda: Players must take blame
Florent Malouda believes Chelsea's players are to blame, not manager Andre Villas-Boas, for the club's poor form.
• Villas-Boas not worried by exit talk
Chelsea have slumped to three defeats in their last four Premier League matches, leaving Villas-Boas, who took over in the summer, under pressure.
But Malouda has attempted to ease the growing strain on the Blues' head coach, insisting the players must take responsibility for the team's disappointing run of results.
Speaking ahead of Wednesday's Champions League meeting with Bayer Leverkusen, Malouda said: "I don't think the solution is about looking at the manager. We are the ones going out on the pitch and performing in a good or bad way.
"We have all the ingredients at the club right now - the board, the technical staff, the players and the manager - to perform. We've done it in the past.
"We've got good players in the squad, and we still have that ambition. It's difficult to explain why it went wrong recently, but we started the season well and were able to compete with the top teams in the league, and get to first place in the group.
"There's no reason to panic. Everyone wants to give us advice or point at the manager. We have to take our responsibility on the pitch."
Malouda went on to admit that he is as guilty as anyone of underperforming of late, adding: "I would say that I need to step up my game more.
"I've never blamed a referee or a pitch or the weather to explain a bad performance. That's not how you become a top player. I need to do more, I need to improve my performances, and I'm fully aware of that.
"That's why I don't want to give you excuses. If I tried to explain it in a logical manner, you might think I'm making excuses for losing. I just want to win."

The southwest ridge is the standard route to the summit of Mount Magog. It starts at Tony Grove Trailhead in Logan Canyon. The route follows a trail for a couple miles and then goes up the southwest ridge to the summit. This is one of the easier peaks in the Bear River Mountains thanks to the high elevation start from the trailhead. It is a fun and interesting mountain so I thought I should submit a page it. Despite its rugged appearance, the hike is only class 2 and there was a faint footpath on the ridge. When I climbed the peak many years ago, there was no evidence of this at all. So I guess more people have been climbing it. The view from the summit is really nice and there is a steep drop from its north face down toward the White Pine Lake cirque.
The name Magog comes from the Bible and so does Gog and Naomi. Bullen Hole Peak is unofficially named. It is sometimes referred to as Ezekiel Peak which is a name that comes from its relation to Gog and Magog in religion.
Distance is 4 miles to the summit via the southwest ridge with 1,800 feet elevation gain.
Getting There
Drive on I-15 north of Brigham City and take exit 362 (US-91/Logan). Keep driving on US-91 through Sardine Canyon. After 25 miles US-91 will merge into Main Street in Logan. Drive to the intersection of Main Street and 400 North in Logan. Turn east on Highway 89 into Logan Canyon. Drive for about 18 miles to the exit to Tony Grove. Turn here and follow this road for 7 miles to the trailhead and also the parking lot for Tony Grove Lake.
If coming from the northeast near the cities of Soda Springs or Montpelier in Idaho. Turn onto Highway 89 and drive south toward Garden City which is on the east side of the range near Bear Lake. Drive up the switchbacks into Logan Canyon. Go over the summit of the canyon and then drive to the road junction turnoff to Tony Grove. Drive up this road for 7 miles to the trailhead.
Route Information
From Tony Grove trailhead, start hiking up the trail heading north. In about a quarter mile you will get to a junction. The trail to White Pine Lake goes right for 3.8 miles. The trail to Naomi Peak goes left for 3.3 miles. Take the trail that goes left. Follow this trail through meadows that are often filled with flowers during summer. You'll get a good view of Mount Magog here.
The trail gains elevation very gradually as it goes through the canyon. It then enters into a large valley beneath the east face of Naomi Peak. The trail goes toward the ridge that separates Naomi Peak from Mount Magog. This is where I left the trail : (N 41.91259 W 111.66788). Head toward the top of the ridge and start hiking along the southwest ridge of Mount Magog.
You will go over a sub-peak labeled as 9,614 elevation on maps. Near the top of this subpeak is a large sinkhole. It shows up all of the sudden so keep an eye out for it. If you are following the very top of the ridge you will run into a cliff. There are several gullies to the right that you can descend to get around it. You'll lose some elevation here before you go up the final part of the route.
The pyramid shaped summit can be seen to the northeast. Follow the ridge and hike on talus and grassy slopes up this steep face. You'll be able to see cliffs above so just hike up a gully to the left to avoid them. The summit may look difficult but it ends up being rather easy. It consist of several large limestone square and rectangular blocks. One is slightly higher than the others.
The Views
There are great views of the Bear River Range from the summit. To the south you can Tony Grove Lake and the trailhead. To the southwest is Naomi Peak. To the northwest is Bullen Hole Peak aka Ezekiel Peak which is higher than both Magog and Gog. Directly north is Mount Gog and below its south face is White Pine Lake. Farther behind Mount Gog to the north is Doubletop Mountain. From this vantage point the two mountains blend in with each other. To the northeast is Steam Mill Peak which looks like a small bump on the ridge from here. On a clear day you can see all the way to Sherman Peak in Idaho if you know where to look. The summit is surrounded by cliffs some of which are hundreds of feet high on its north face.
1) Most people will descend the ascent route from the Naomi Peak trail. You can easily combine both peaks for a nice day hike.
2) South Slope Descent: This is an optional descent down the canyon that is located south of Mount Magog. I found this route to be a little faster than following the ridge back down. A good landmark is a dry lake bed near 9,100 feet elevation. Descend down steep boulders and rocks. Once there, hike around the lake bed on either side to avoid boggy areas. Farther down the canyon you will get to another dry lake bed near 8,900 feet elevation. I saw deer in this area so there must be some water around here. Continue down canyon while losing 200 feet in the process. You should be able to see the trail on the other side of the hill now. It should be in this area : (N 41.90762 W 111.65331). From here, follow the trail all the way down to Tony Grove trailhead.
When to Climb
The main climbing season for Mount Magog is during the summer months. This is July through September.
The mountain can also be climbed in late spring and early fall depending on snow conditions. In normal years, snow last in early summer. Many people who have climbed nearby Naomi Peak in early July have encountered a lot of snow at the higher elevations. In fall, there are few people out hiking until October when hunting season takes place. Tony Grove can be accessed in winter by skiing or snowshoeing.
What to Bring
Hiking boots during summer and fall. Day pack with food and water. Ten essentials. Trekking poles. TopoMap.

U.S. Rep. Adam Kinzinger (16th Congressional District) provided updates on legislative issues like flood insurance, tax reform and housing and answered questions from 15 members of the Kankakee-Iroquois-Ford-Association of REALTORS® (KIFAR) Wednesday in Watseka.
Federal Political Coordinator Ed Neaves led the discussion, which also covered developments with the Federal Housing Administration, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Neaves and his fellow REALTORS® emphasized the importance of extending national flood insurance past the Sept. 30 expiration date, since Watseka is in a flood plain and the National Association of REALTORS® estimates that 40,000 real estate transactions could be affected.
Kinzinger is in his fourth term in the U.S. House of Representatives and his district covers 14 counties in northern Illinois.

Men and women both 'want it all,' but men want more
The Solution Dayton, OHNov. 4, 2013 10:28 a.m.
Very interesting survey with wild conclusions by those interpreting the data. There is plenty of sacrifice from both parties in having a "successful" family life and marriage. People who assume otherwise are either inexperienced or bitter because they were not able to acheive it. Success in balancing work with family is always a difficult struggle, and yet it appears that the majority of people, both male and female, still see it as the most important thing in life. At least in this survey of only 1000 people, which is really small to be gleaning any generalities for the larger population.
How stupid to think that this is the result of guys' obsession to want it all.
gmlewis Houston, TXNov. 2, 2013 9:31 a.m.
When I was younger, I worked night and day and frequently had to travel. I was able to achieve a better work/life balance by taking my family on work trips with me, driving the car instead of flying. It was a sacrifice, but it was worth it.
I'm now able to work at home 3 days out of 5, and that is really wonderful. Occasionally during the day I can walk away from the computer for ten minutes and hold our new baby granddaughter or play with the older ones. This luxury makes me very loyal to my employer!
My wife has worked off and on during our marriage to help out in rough spots, but only for as long as is absolutely necessary. I helped with housework and childcare a little extra during those times. She was always glad to go back to watching the kids and grandchildren as soon as she was able.
Are we lucky? You bet! We have been supremely blessed.
Johnny Moser Thayne, WYNov. 2, 2013 7:46 a.m.
Pretty telling report, sure the man doesn't get asked how he balances work and family because he is assumed to have already sacrificed his family for his job/work. He is constantly fighting the balance because he is culturally expected to make his work the priority, she is given an opportunity to make the choice of which to pursue. I would have liked to have had the choice, even with the implications that she has in reduced wages/salary and opportunity. Someday, she will wish for the good old days; she isn't going to really like being "equal" when it means that she gets the same crappy deal that he gets now.

NEW YORK (AP/CBS13) – The NBA has suspended Sacramento Kings forward Thomas Robinson for two games for elbowing Detroit's Jonas Jerebko in the neck.
The play occurred with 10 minutes left in Sacramento's 105-103 win on Wednesday night. Robinson, the fifth overall pick in this year's draft out of Kansas, was immediately ejected.
Robinson will miss the Kings' games against San Antonio on Friday and the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday.
The league announced the suspension on Thursday.
Robinson posted an apology to his Twitter account Thursday, tweeting: "Apologize for my actions mistakes happen I take full responsibility lost my cool will never happen again!"

It's not every day that a newspaper company hire can point to a job slot having been especially created for them. But those are now the bragging rights of Emily Smith, a former Disney Interactive Media Group exec.
Smith is the Los Angeles Times Media Group's first ever senior vice president, digital. As such, she will oversee the development of new products and business partnerships for all of the company's digital properties (LATimes.com, TheEnvelope.com, ThisisBrandX.com, etc.), hoping no doubt to monetize the endless Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, and foursquare opportunities. Per this morning's press release:
Smith is the first hire of Times president and chief operating officer Kathy Thomson, signaling The Times' focus on identifying new or underserved audiences, designing and implementing go-to-market strategies, and creating digital solutions that anticipate the needs of our readers, communities, advertisers and sponsors.
At press time, there is the slight embarrassment of the official announcement at LATimes.com being accompanied by an awkwardly ratio-ed digital photo of Smith. Oops.

Nifty work by their advisers has meant that three members of the Rolling Stones, including Sir Mick Jagger, paid only 1.6 per cent tax on their £81.3 million earnings last year. I must confess it brought a wistful tear to my eye when I read this news the other day.
I remembered those years long ago when five friends at college used to talk of one day getting together to form a hit accountancy firm. It was just a distant dream back then, but they would sit around half the night arguing about what they would call themselves. Tax Planning Associates? Strategies in Accounting? Which one of these sounded right? Now, of course these are the people known all over the world as Premier Tax Solutions.
There were thousands of would-be accountants in those days, but the Solutions were one of the few groups to make it to the big time. Michael was always the restless, flamboyant one in the group; he wore a striped tie, often loosened; Charles, the quiet one, had a way of drumming his ballpoint pen on the desk all the time, and Keith, Brian and William were all crazy accountancy students in their own way.
The amazing thing is that they did turn out to be kings of the tax bands, legends not just in their own Inland Revenue district, but all over the world.
It all started pretty quietly with just a few PAYE gigs around the country and the odd Notice of Coding, then suddenly the Solutions took off. Of course, their arrival on the scene horrified mothers, who all wanted their daughters to settle down with a nice steady rock star. I'm proud to say I still have a copy of their debut letter, on their own headed notepaper, in the year ending April 5 1984 with that memorable opening line: "Re your outstanding 81/2 tax arrears."
The first decade of the Solutions went by in a haze of figures. It was a wild time. Soon they were doing Peps, they were doing Isas, they were doing all kinds of other stuff. There were endless tales of deductible women, crazy depreciation on company motor vehicles, of hotel mini-bars being raided for the miniatures, and of appearances in front of Inland Revenue tribunals.
Then, after their first Offshore Tour, in Belize, (I still have the souvenir blazer) it all seemed to go wrong. Michael, by now very much the front man, decided he wanted to go solo and become a loss-making farmer. The clients were distraught. It was a particularly difficult time for me as they had recently advised me to minimise my tax burden by investing in a balsa wood plantation in North Wales.
The solo career did not work out and the Solutions were soon back in action, ready to make history. The right-on Journal of Accountancy welcomed the news with the headline "Happy Return". I still have a restaurant receipt for the very day the Solutions re-formed.
Everyone agrees the Solutions broke new ground, challenged accountancy taboos and pushed the OHMS brown envelope further than ever. As they went from success to success, I followed their progress, but from a distance, as they had advised me to move my operations to a remote village in Swaziland until the Inland Revenue calmed down about the money they thought I owed them.
As tax planners, the Solutions have always been a bit "edgy", or dangerous. What is remarkable is that Michael, even now he is getting on a bit and has a life peerage from the Blair Government, has never been sucked into the Establishment. He's still a rebel.
When I met up with him the other day I asked him if he was ever tempted to settle down and spend his days strumming a Fender Stratocaster. He responded by telling me to go to the Netherlands and register myself as my own great aunt for inheritance tax purposes.

Nissan plans to further attack sales of the locally produced Ford Falcon and Holden Commodore with its new Altima mid-sized sedan, pictures and details of which leaked online today ahead of its reveal at this week's New York motor show.
To be positioned as a medium car, the Altima will initially sell alongside the Maxima large car and form the basis of the brand's $10 million-plus return to local touring car racing.
The Altima will be powered by a 2.5-litre four-cylinder or a 3.5-litre V6 and sell against the likes of the Toyota Camry, Honda Accord Euro, Mazda6, Ford Mondeo, Hyundai i45 and upcoming Holden Malibu.
Designed in America for a global market, the Altima is not on sale here until later in 2013, at which time more details will be revealed about features for the car in Australia.
Pricing will also be revealed closer to the launch, although the planned competition would suggest it has to start below $30,000.
In America the Altima will be loaded with technology, including a lane departure warning system and "smart" windscreen wipers that automatically turn the headlights on once they've been on for a while.
There's also NissanConnect, which syncs with a smartphone and allows Google maps information to be wirelessly beamed to the car.
Nissan is hoping for big things from the Altima from a sales perspective, boldy predicting it will outsell all mid-sized contenders other than the locally produced Camry.
"The medium-car segment is still growing," says Ian Moreillon, Nissan Australia executive general manager, national sales and fleet.
"It's not growing fast, but it is growing.
"We believe that we can ... get an 8 per cent share of that segment. We're looking at around 5-600 cars per month. That's very achievable."
While it will sit in the ever-crowded mid-sized segment, Moreillon predicts the Altima will also take its toll on Falcon and Commodore - off the track.
"The whole market space is changing," says Moreillon. "This is an opportunity for us because the segment is still growing. The large car segment is in decline."
"The reality is we expect to get people out of Falcons and Commodores into Altima. We expect to people within [the mid-sized] segment into Altima, people who currently own Camrys."
The Altima is by no means the first brand to take aim at Australia's two locally-made large cars.
They've been attacked - largely unsuccessfully - by brands as diverse as Mitsubishi, Chrysler, Hyundai and Toyota.
Back in the 1970s Chrysler targeted the Falcon and then-Kingswood, while Mitsubishi's Magna (and, later, 380) spoke boldly of taking the sales fight to Ford and Holden.
Even Hyundai has targeted the big Aussie two, with its slow selling Grandeur.
More recently Toyota's Aurion has tried to steal sales away from the Falcon-Commodore duet with limited success.
Despite the bravado, though, Nissan has few runs on the board, having tried numerous family-sized sedans. The once popular Bluebird is now gone, as is the Pintara.

Eames group meets Troubles police
group set up by the Government to explore ways of dealing with the legacy of the Troubles was today holding discussions with the PSNI's Historical Enquiries Team.
The group, headed by retired Church of Ireland Primate Lord Eames and Denis Bradley, the ex-vice-chairman of the Policing Board, is also planning a series of public meetings.
It held its second meeting in Armagh yesterday and afterwards confirmed discussions were held in London last week with the police team who turned up collusion between the security forces and paramilitaries.
Former Metropolitan Police Commissioner Lord Stevens is believed to have discussed sensitive details about his investigations into collusion during four days of meetings with his Stevens Inquiry team.
The Eames/Bradley group, which has six other members, was set up by the NIO in June to seek "the best way to deal with the legacy of the past".
Its meeting with Stevens is an indication members may be exploring ways of explaining the Troubles' murkiest episodes.
Lord Stevens reported in 2003 that collusion happened and was a factor in several murders.
But the full reports of his three investigations - which touched on the activities of security force agents within the UDA and IRA - have never been published.
The group can be contacted by email on firstname.lastname@example.com or on 028 9051 7023.
The Historical Enquiries Team welcomed the opportunity for discussions with the group.
Its director Dave Cox said: "Any new approach to the past must place the needs of those who suffered most, all the families, firmly at its centre. "

LA Chamber Orchestra Names Four Musicians to Roster
Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra (LACO) Music Director Jeffrey Kahane announces the appointments of Robert Brophy, viola (Los Angeles 90042); Sandy Hughes, flute (Portland, OR); Carrie Kennedy, violin II (Pasadena); and Joel Pargman, violin II (Pasadena) to LACO's roster, one of the nation's leading orchestras renowned for its wide-ranging repertoire and adventurous commissioning initiatives. The 2012-13 season marks the first full season with the Orchestra for Brophy, Kennedy and Pargman; and the first time that Hughes has performed with LACO. Kennedy and Pargman are husband and wife.
"We are delighted to welcome these four fine musicians to the Orchestra's ranks," says Kahane. "Their superb artistry and outstanding technical skills blend beautifully with LACO's unique musical profile."
LACO's 44th season launches with a dynamic program of works both familiar and new on October 6 at the Alex Theatre in Glendale, repeating October 7 at Royce Hall. The repertoire includes Ravel's jazz-infused Piano Concerto in G major, Beethoven's Violin Concerto in D major, Op. 61, and two West Coast premieres – The Great Swiftness by LACO Composer-in-Residence and Pulitzer Prize-finalist Andrew Norman, and True South by James Matheson, recipient of the prestigious $200,000 Charles Ives Living award.
Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra (LACO), proclaimed "America's finest chamber orchestra" by Public Radio International, has established itself among the world's top musical ensembles. Since 1997, LACO has performed under the baton of acclaimed conductor and pianist Jeffrey Kahane, hailed by critics as "visionary" and "a conductor of uncommon intellect, insight and musical integrity" with "undeniable charisma." Under Kahane's leadership, the Orchestra maintains its status as a preeminent interpreter of historical masterworks and a champion of contemporary composers. During its 44-year history, the Orchestra has made 30 recordings, toured Europe, South America and Japan, performed across North America, earning adulation from audiences and critics alike, and garnered seven ASCAP Awards for Adventurous Programming. Headquartered in downtown Los Angeles, LACO presents seven Orchestral Series concerts at both Glendale's Alex Theatre and UCLA's Royce Hall, five Baroque Conversations concerts at downtown Los Angeles' Zipper Concert Hall, three Westside Connections chamber music concerts at The Broad Stage in Santa Monica and an annual Discover concert at Pasadena's Ambassador Auditorium. In addition, LACO presents two major fundraisers, a Concert Gala and an annual Silent Film screening at Royce Hall, as well as several fundraising salons each year. LACO was founded in 1968.
ROBERT BROPHY, viola, can be seen and heard playing with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, LA Opera and many West Coast chamber music series. He is featured with Nigel Kennedy in a quartet on Kennedy's new release Greatest Hits on the EMI label and has performed alongside Martha Argerich, Mischa Maisky, Michel Dalberto and Dmitri Sitkovetsky. He won the viola audition with the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra in December 2011. An advocate for new music and former member of the Ens? Quartet, Brophy has worked with many leading composers of the 20th and 21st centuries, including Joan Tower, William Bolcom, Tan Dun and Bernard Rands. Of the Ens? Quartet's concerts, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette noted, "It was standing room only," while The Strad applauded their "totally committed, imaginative interpretation." The quartet earned its place in the ensemble world with multiple honors at the 2004 Banff International String Quartet Competition, including best performance of the pièce de concert, for the quartet's riveting performance of Stewart Grant's String Quartet No. 2. It also won awards at the 2003 Concert Artists Guild International, the Fischoff National Chamber Music and the Chamber Music Yellow Springs competitions. Featured on two recordings with the Ens? Quartet on the Naxos label, Brophy continues his quartet life as a member of the New Hollywood String Quartet, which has performed throughout the Southland for the last five years and recently became quartet-in-residence at South Pasadena Library's Restoration Concert Series. Brophy holds degrees from the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester, England and Rice University, where he studied with James Dunham, formerly of the Cleveland Quartet.
SANDY HUGHES, flute, a native of Portland, Oregon, joins the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, beginning in the 2012-13 season. Called "one of the best young American flutists I've heard" by Sir James Galway, Hughes has received critical acclaim for her "eloquent playing" and "detailed attention to the musical phrase." She performs second flute with the Akron Symphony Orchestra, is a member of The Hollywood Soloists and also appears frequently with the New York Philharmonic. An avid chamber musician and soloist, Hughes has collaborated with the Miami String Quartet, the Alturas Duo and the Wallingford and Hartt Symphony orchestras. A Fulbright Grant recipient and New World Symphony finalist, Hughes earned her Master of Music in Orchestral Performance from the Manhattan School of Music, studying with Robert Langevin. She also received her Bachelor of Arts in English Literature from the University of Hartford and a Bachelor of Music in Flute Performance from the Hartt School of Music, where she studied with John Wion.
Award-winning violinist CARRIE KENNEDY has been the featured soloist with orchestras throughout the United States including the San Antonio, Richardson, University of Southern California, Torrance, Suburban, Brevard Festival, Clear Lake, Westchester, Solano and Magic Valley symphonies, and has performed concerts around the world. She joined the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra in January 2012. She is also a member of the New West, Long Beach and Pasadena symphonies; Musica Angelica Baroque Orchestra and the Fiato Quartet; and performs with the Riverside County Philharmonic and the Santa Barbara Chamber Orchestra. She toured with Andrea Bocelli, the Percy Faith Orchestra of Japan, and in South America with the Musica Angelica Baroque Orchestra, and has recorded music for commercials, motion pictures and recordings. She has earned numerous awards including first place in the National Federation of Music Clubs Young Artists Competition, a prize that includes two years of concert engagements, and first place in the American String Teachers Association Competition. In addition, she was a semi-finalist in the Irving M. Klein Competition, Tunbridge Wells International Competition in England, Concert Artists Guild Competition and the International Leopold Mozart Competition in Germany. Kennedy is an alumnus of intensive chamber music programs at Tanglewood and Amelia Island, where her quartet was coached by the American, Guarneri and Takacs quartets. While at SUNY Stony Brook, Kennedy's quartet studied with the Emerson Quartet. She served as concertmaster at the Tanglewood Music Festival under Rafael Fruhbeck de Burgos and was in the live broadcast of Strauss's Ein Heldenleben on New York's WQXR. At the London Master Classes where she studied with Gyorgy Pauk, Kennedy was selected to have her lesson filmed by Online Classics for a television documentary on the master classes. She attended the Indiana University String Academy; Encore School for Strings; and the Angel Fire Chamber Music, Weathersfield and Masterworks festivals. Kennedy holds a Master of Music from the State University of New York at Stony Brook, where she studied with Pamela Frank and Ani Kavafian, and a Bachelor of Music from the University of Southern California, where she studied with Robert Lipsett.
JOEL PARGMAN, violin, graduated summa cum laude from USC in 2002, where he studied with Robert Lipsett and served as a teaching assistant in violin and in music history. Born in San Bernardino and having spent his youth in the Pacific Northwest, he now resides in Pasadena with his wife, LACO violin Carrie Kennedy. A frequent guest performer with the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra since 2005, Pargman won the violin audition to join LACO's second violin section in December 2011. He also is a member of the Santa Barbara Chamber Orchestra, the Pasadena Symphony and Musica Angelica Baroque Orchestra. In addition to his live performance engagements, Pargman records music for film, television and albums of diverse genres. He has performed as a featured soloist with the Seattle Philharmonic Orchestra, the Musicians Emeritus Symphony Orchestra, the Tacoma Youth and Bremerton symphonies. For three summers, Pargman was a fellow of the Tanglewood Music Center, most recently as a member of its resident new-music quartet, the New Fromm Players. The ensemble premiered works by the composition fellows-in-residence, performing new works by Bright Sheng and John Harbison, and collaborating in performances with the Mark Morris Dance Company. He has also spent summers at the Aspen Music Festival, the Encore School for Strings, the Indiana University String Academy and the Académie Musicale de Villecroze, where he was a student of Pamela Frank. Pargman spent eight years as artist-in-residence with the Denali Quartet at Santa Monica's critically acclaimed Jacaranda concert series.

text: Cape Town - Barclay's group chief executive Antony Jenkins this weekend spoke out about the need for corporate business to operate ethically, and said he will be accountable for implementing change. Jenkins was speaking to 1 300 young leaders attending the One Young World summit in Pittsburgh. He told them he is putting his words into action and they can hold him accountable for that. Jenkins took the reins in August after an interest rigging scandal lead to the resignation of the chairperson, chief operating officer and group chief executive. In July, Barclays was fined £290m by British and US regulators for attempted manipulation of Libor and Euribor interbank interest rates between 2005 and 2009."So, the, sort of, visible, tangible, example of what happens when a business does not serve all of its stakeholders became very personal for me... (two months after) I was asked to lead Barclays as group chief executive, so now I have to put my words into action and you can hold me accountable for that." Outlining his plans to reform Barclays in the wake of the Libor scandal, Jenkins stressed the need for corporate businesses to take responsibility for their own actions, and not rely on existing regulation. "Large organisations have to take responsibility for their own behaviours and actions. And I actually believe that businesses that operate in an ethical way will ultimately be more successful." Jenkins said he is in the process of crafting a purpose for the Barclays group. "Right now, (at) Barclay's, I don't think you could say that we have an expressed purpose that operates across the organisation. "Next week we are going to spend time at Barclays looking at what our core values are, and defining a balanced scorecard for the institution. What that's really about is setting goals, targets, metrics for each of our stakeholders, for our customers and clients, for our colleagues and for broader. We will do all that work and get that done by the end of the year." One Young World, a charity cofounded by David Jones and South African Kate Robertson stages an annual Summit, gathering together the brightest young people from around the world. Forty-four young South Africans are representing the country this weekend. In October 2013, the One Young World summit will take place in Johannesburg, South Africa.

Clementine is becoming trendy, and pales in comparison to the family ties that Doris has. Alma Doris does sound a little out-dated, though. Alma Lily has a youthful, lovely flow. It also means "soulful lily" or "white lily" together.
I do really like honoring family members in names though, but many of us think we have to use the actual name to honor. Doris has connotations to the water, and there are a lot of names that do too, like Ondine, Tallulah, Moselle, Oceana, Dorine, Dorissa, Cordelia, Marina, Marissa, and Nerissa. That way, they could still honor your grandmother, but in a new, fresh way that she can make her own.aurora- autumn- ashwyn- bambi- bernadette- calliope- emmalou- henriette- indigo- ione- january- lark- leela- llewellyn- lydia- marnie- molly- narnia- noelle- oralee- penelope- philomena- rain- raven- roxy- ruby- snow- tessa- thora- waverly- willow- winter- wren- zoe | abel- aesop- angus- banjo- bartholomew- bear- bruce- burkley- darwin- elliot- finn- flynn- foster- henry- indigo - knox - laszlo - lyle - navy - nemo - noah - otis - oakley - rainn - thatcher - thomas - thompson - titus - zen

DETROIT — United Auto Workers members passed a four-year contract agreement with Chrysler LLC on Saturday despite significant dissent from some workers, the union said.
The union said 56 percent of production workers and 51 percent of skilled trades workers voted for the pact. The percentages voting in favor were much higher among clerical workers and engineers represented by the union.
The new contract covers about 45,000 active workers at Chrysler and more than 55,000 Chrysler retirees and 23,000 surviving spouses. It will expire on Sept. 14, 2011.
UAW and Chrysler bargainers reached the agreement Oct. 10 after a six-hour strike. The deal came the same day the union announced that General Motors Corp. workers had approved a similar contract.
Many workers opposed the agreement because it establishes lower wages for some non-core, non-assembly workers.
The union now turns to Ford Motor Co., the last automaker to negotiate in this year's round of contract talks. Talks with Ford were expected to proceed throughout the weekend.

Got to go to a cremation at 1.30 pm - looking for somewhere that serves reasonable food with parking as near as possible to the crematorium - ideally somewhere that starts serving at 11.30 am. All suggestions gratefully appreciated. Don't want to have the hassle of parking in the town and then walking to restaurant/pub
Would they be open in January? (we are hoping to visit next weekend).
I am still in the process of buying tickets for my England journey and I've got one more question on train tickets. Does 'anytime' ticket means that I really can travel on any train that day? For example, I'm looking for London-Hastings tickets. I see that there is 'anytime' at 9:18 for 96.25 pounds (for our group), 'off-peak' at 9:37 for 65.20 and 'anytime' at 9:45 for 55 pounds. Can I buy the one for 55 pounds and take an earlier train?
Another question. If I plan London-Hastings-Brighton-London, I guess there is no way for me to take some ticket and 'break' my journey at Hastings and then go on to Brighton and back to London? I'll have to buy separate tickets L-H, H-Br, Br-L?
Hello! I live in norwich, norfolk. I would like to visit my friend, who has recently moved to Hastings. Can I get a coach, or even a train straight to Hastings without going to london first? Or can anyone tell me, which is the cheapest/quickest way to get there? Thanks
How far is it from London to Hastings? What is the quickest and least expensive way to get there? Can anyone recommend inexpensive places to stay? Has anyone been to Judges Bakery? It is owned by Craig Sams and is totally organic.
dear sirs,we should be VERY greatfull if you could send us some information
about parkingspaces in hastings
on some websites they say that its very difficult to find free parkingspace
if so....can we get to hastings from a nearby town by coach or train and if so...how can we do so and not getting in to much trouble to return to our car
because we have to catch a train through the channel tunnel by 9pm
we expect to arrive in hastings around noon on 28th of december coming from canterbury(2couples)
thank you ... eddy
I will travel to Hastings on a National express coach. However, I have no idea where to find the coach station in Hastings. The ticket says something about "Queen's parade", but I can't find this street in any city map only "Queen's road". Could anybody tell me where to find an online town map where I can see the buc/coach station or perhaps just tell me where to find it?
Best regards
Good morning,
I would like to dance latin music in Hastings too
I'll spend some days in East Sussex..
Please help me to find some places..
see you soon
Can anyone please tell me the derivation of Rock-N-Ore? I visited Hastings this week and was fascinated by this area. I would also like to buy a painting if anyone knows where I can do this. Many thanks. Val
Anyone can ask a
travel question.
Destination experts (like you!) provide amazing answers.
Readers "like" answers, and the best float to the top.

Lobby group highlights provincial debt
Province: Taxpayers group says provincial debt has grown from nothing to $7.7 billion
Friday, Jan 17, 2014 11:18 am
Once declared paid in full, a lobby group said Alberta�s debt has hit $7.7 billion and is rising at a rate of $11 million per day.
The Canadian Taxpayers Federation has launched an Alberta version of its debt clock online at Albertadebtclock.ca, counting up what it says is an increasing amount of red ink for the provincial government.
It�s a marked contrast to when former premier Ralph Klein pronounced the provincial debt paid in full in 2004.
Derek Fildebrandt, Canadian Taxpayers Federation Alberta director, said it shouldn�t be any problem for the Alberta government to balance its books and stay out of debt.
�It�s unethical to run up debt and pass it on to your children, especially when you�re in a place as easy to balance the budget as Alberta,� he said. �This should be the easiest place on the face of the North American continent to balance a budget. There�s absolutely no reason for debt here.�
The organization will also create a physical version of the debt clock it plans to tour around the province. Fildebrandt said they will bring it to Okotoks at the end of winter or early spring.
He said the group used provincial data in its calculation.
The group maintains a clock counting the federal debt and the debt for every other province. Fildebrandt said they never had a debt clock for Alberta because they didn�t believe they�d ever need one.
However, he said the provincial government hasn�t been able to control its spending and this has resulted in sending the province back into the red.
Jessica Jacobs-Mino, spokesperson for Alberta�s finance minister, countered the CTF�s criticism.
For one thing, she said the debt clock is not an accurate representation of how the Provincial debt is accumulated. Jacobs-Mino said the group also isn�t recognizing Alberta�s strong financial position in comparison to other provinces.
�I don�t think they�re consistent of their criticism of government across the country because there�s no recognition for the fact that on an operating basis we�re doing really well here and we have the strongest balance sheet in the country,� she said.
Jacobs-Mino said the Province has been open with Albertans about borrowing money to meet the demands of a growing province
�We�ve been in consultation with Albertans, we were told to continue to invest in infrastructure, we�ve held the line on our operating spending and we�ve divided out our budget so people can understand where the money�s being spent,� she said.
Jacobs-Mino said putting off infrastructure projects will only make it more expensive to build them in the future.
As well, she said it�s a good time to borrow money with record low interest rates.
Unlike debt accumulated before former premier Ralph Klein took office, which built up over years of operating deficits, she said the provincial government is not borrowing money to cover operating expenses today.
The provincial government has only borrowed to pay for capital projects, she said.
�We�re not borrowing to pay off our credit card bills, we�re borrowing to build the infrastructure that a growing province needs,� she said.
The opposition Wildrose Party has been decrying the provincial government for once against putting Alberta in debt.
The party�s finance critic said the government has an obligation not to leave it to future generations to pay this generation�s bills.
�We can pay our own bill, we don�t need our kids to pay those bills for us,� said Airdrie MLA Rob Anderson.
He said the Alberta debt will be upwards of $8 billion by the end of the year. By 2016, he said the provincial debt will be more than $17 billion.
�Its an extraordinary amount going from essentially zero in 2008 to roughly three and a half million dollars or so when Premier (Alison) Redford took over to $17 million within a term,� said Anderson.
He said there�s no reason for Alberta to have gone back into debt with the high price of oil and gas.
�It�s just baffling to people that we would be running such a significant deficit and having to borrow too much money when we have so much prosperity in our province,� said Anderson. �It shows just a complete lack of fiscal competence.�
He said the danger with debt and borrowing money is when it spirals out of control.
Anderson said interest that is paid to service the debt is money that could be going to health care, education and other government priorities.

I know nothing about HTML. Does anyone have an example where i can know at least how to start it and print some lines?

I am currently divorcing my wife on the grounds of adultery. In my state, adultery is still a crime, punishable by up to $1000 fine and a year in jail. I have no desire to prosecute her but since the OM was a participant, I am considering a civil suit against him for damages, counseling for my kids, etc...Would anyone else consider this if it were available in your state? Leaving her to her screwed up self is her punishment but why should he get to participate in this act that has brought so much pain to my family, and get away with no consequences?
Your stbxw is going to be brought into the civil suit as a witness, so you are not sparing her from any shame.
Is the criminal law against adultery something that is normally enforced? If so, you may not have any say in whether or not your stbxw is criminally charged if you institute the civil suit against the OM.
How old are your children? Will your pursuing this course of action cause them shame and embarrassment?
How will you feel having your 'dirty laundry' aired in public?
All things being equal, I would sue both if it were available; they were equally culpable.
Me: FBS (no longer betrayed nor a spouse)-62
Him: WXH-62
D-day: 2007 (two years before finding SI)
I will say that I personally left OW out of our divorce documents (which we ended up tossing anyway) simply because I want nothing to do with her- but when OW's BH listed my fWH name in their documents and the threat of testifying was on the line- I think that shaped up fWH more than anything!! It embarrassed the hell out of him and he really took a step back at that point to evaluate the damage he had caused.
Best of luck...
As far as civil, if you're talking alienation of affection type causes, it is rarely worth it financially. If you're not, intentional infliction is not typically a winner either, but check the case law in your state (or have an L do it).
This is a business. "She cannot get away with this" has no place in making these decisions. Focus on your healing, not sticking it to the ex.
And I would hope it would send a message about how bad behavior still has consequences. I know in NC a woman was recently awarded several million dollar award in this type case. Maybe she collects, maybe not. But I have to believe if this type suit were more successful and common, folks might think twice before inflicting this type damage on others.

Would require them to possess this:
Conscience is an aptitude, faculty, intuition or judgment of the intellect that distinguishes right from wrong. Moral judgment may derive from values or norms (principles and rules). In psychological terms conscience is often described as leading to feelings of remorse when a human commits actions that go against his/her moral values and to feelings of rectitude or integrity when actions conform to such norms.
Frankly, if they possessed that, you wouldn't have to consider legal action, now - would you?
No one wins in this. Ever.
I agree that enforcing laws don't make people change or make them grow a conscience, but they are there as a consequence for wrongful behavior.
I think adultery is comparable to domestic violence. The perpetrators in both cases are broken persons with horrible coping mechanisms. We have laws against DV and encourage DV victims to press charges. Some victims do and some don't. I wonder why we don't encourage victims of adultery?
I agree with Angelback, adultery is a "cruel and devastating 'action' that one human intentionally commits against another." Angelback may not have physical scars, but emotional scars hurt every bit as much as physical scars and have a lasting impact.
We all heal differently. I can see how this might help some to process and heal. Angelback seems to be thinking about all ramifications if he purses legal action against OM.
Would I consider this for myself? No, I would rather just let go of all of it. The OW is not worth my time and I'm still trying to figure out if my WH is.

Separated (3/8/2013) and in limbo.
I believe that without a large monetary loss that you're seeking to recover, a civil suit isn't a productive way to spend money. I guess if I was a legal theorist, i'd be"law and economics". Exacting some sort of moral penalty is not the purpose of the civil legal system.
The OM is irrelevant. He was just around and willing. Focus on yourself and your children, not whether the OM or stbx are suffering appropriate consequences in your mind.
That your attorney is considering taking the case on contingency is not particularly meaningful. All it means is that they see a deep pocket on the other side, and are willing to gamble that a little work might give them access to some hush money.
You're thinking in very black-and-white terms. Good, bad. Right, wrong.
Strangely, the legal system cares very little about those things. It is driven by dollars and cents.
You won't change laws.
You won't change human behavior.
You won't illustrate that good triumphs over evil.
You won't unfuck your wife.
And you won't feel better.
Furthermore, because you are making the argument that you are considering this fight because your children have been harmed, STOP AND THINK ABOUT IT. Filing suit against a celebrity pretty much guarantees that more damage will be done to your children. If you draw an "actor of some fame" into litigation, you will be putting your kids in a fishbowl, particularly if you claim damages related to them. Are you prepared for that?
Going public is just not the way to protect your children from affair fallout.
I get your anger--really, I do. But keeping it alive in the legal system is not the path to healing.
Especially when, really, it's not this other guy's fault your wife cheated.
Want to file suit? Include her as a defendant.
That's what the contingency is for.

Review of Big Tit Patrol:
Its time to go out on patrol again, officer. However, today we are not patrolling the streets for crime. We are not patrolling for protection. We have no better purpose for this patrol. In fact, this patrol satisfies our personal needs very rigidly. It is a patrol for large chested women. You know the kind of boobs I am talking about. The kind that you can lose your head in if you are not careful. See what you can find out on the streets, officer. Because you are part of the Big Tit Patrol.
Big Tit Patrol is a website with a focus on extremely large chested women. Now, the name makes this sound like a super reality site with guys going on the street and looking for big tits. Well, that is actually not the case here. Most of these videos begin simply with an interview of a very large chested girl. And the action goes from there. So what exactly is the patrol? We don't get much of a taste of that, but nobody cares if they are a fan of big tits! Overall, this site lacks a little focus but does have a good theme and sticks to that theme extremely well.
When you first sign into Big Tit Patrol, you are given a members page that lists a lot of stuff all at once on you. You start out with the three latest updates to the network, listed with one smaller thumbnail. After that you get the latest update to this page, with a slightly enlarged thumbnail and a longer description. Then the exclusive videos are listed, with one smaller thumbnail per video. This thumbnail is more of a portrait to give you a good idea of how a girl looks. Then there are the unexclusive movies, with the same setup. Now we have a listing of the numerous bonus sites here. After that we get live feeds and stores, not taking up too much space, but more than neccessary. And that is your site pretty much. It's simple and easy to navigate, but ultimately there is just a lot thrown onto the front page and that makes it a little crowded but not overbearingly so.
The videos are the big focus of the patrol here. When you get into the videos page, you get the top of the page that looks like the setup for the latest update on the front page with the description and thumbnail. Underneath this you get all of the segments, with a thumbnail for each. The segments here are numerous. For each girl, there can be up to 45 segments. That is way way too much if you ask me. But luckily, you also have the ability to view the entire movie. That helps a lot. Notice I said view. No mater what you do here, everything is streamed with no downloading whatsoever. If you know how to download off of streams, you can. But you need that knowledge. Otherwise you will just be viewing streams. Either way, I think streams should be left for the free, leased sites of the world. No matter what you choose, you have the option of high, medium, and low quality WMVs.
The video quality here is pretty good, but shy of great. The WMVs are encoded and run at 740k at highest quality. This is a nice quality, but there are some flaws. You can definately see the pixels if you look closely enough. But lets face it, these movies run over 20 minutes and the file sizes are pretty managable. The videos look pretty good, and maybe not perfect but definately good enough for what they are trying to do here. I really have no complaints about them. They flow smoothly when you watch them as well, not like a lot of streaming sites that have problems with their streams.
The pictures here are vidcaps, and they definately load us up with them. There are several pages of vidcaps here. That means that they didn't take a whole lot of time picking out the best of the best, and most of these galleries didn't have a whole lot of thought put into them. With that said, these vidcaps are by no stretch the worst I have ever seen. But they are vidcaps, and that alone is kind of sucky. I usually don't slag a video site too much for it, but nice pictures are always welcome to supplement the video content better.
The girls on Big Tit Patrol fit the name well. These girls all had huge tits, with many of them natural as well. With big titted women, you usually have a full framed girl. That is true here, these girls all had a little meat on them. But I wouldn't call any of them overweight or anything silly like that, but they were a little meaty. You get the gist of it. Also, most of these girls looked a little on the skankier/porn star side of things. That isn't bad, but again to give you a feel. The action was typical porn action, but with some titty fucking and an overall titty focus included. Pretty nice stuff if I may say so myself.
At the time of review, there were a total of 29 exclusive movies as well as several more unexclusive movies. The site is updated weekly, sometimes with the unexclusive stuff but mostly with the exclusive stuff. This is a good amount of content, but just wait, there is a ton more! This has a vert nice update schedule, and there are a ton of bonus sites we will now look at!
Included in this network are: Bus Stop Whores, Big League Facials, College Teens Bookbang, Big Cock Teen Addiction, Mr Chews Asian Beaver, Pimp My Black Teen, Casting Couch Teens, I Spy Cameltoe, See Her Squirt, Pump That Ass, XXX Adultstars, The Big Swallow, Please Bang My Wife, Big Tit Patrol, Teeny Bopped Club, XXX Proposal, Tiny's Black Advnetures, Barefoot Maniacs, Giant's Black Meat White Treat, Blind Date Bangers, Horny Spanish Flies, Filthy Fred's Amateurs, Bikini Contest Porn, Tongues and Toys, and Nasty Movie Madness. Some sites have bonus sites that take five minutes go through. This one has sites that take five minutes to type! Just an unbelievable amount of content, and lots of different themes and genres to go through.
Big Tit Patrol is a great big tit website. It's been around for a while and it definately has a good groove to it. It seems like the women coming out of it are consistently hot and big titted. I could definately go for a few changes, but the entire story is that you should check out this network at least once in your porn travels, and if you like big boobs this just sweetens the deal!

These problems may be difficult to remedy in that a wide range of sources affect air concentrations and deposition thousands of kilometres from the source.
For example, Sweden can hardly influence the amount of acidification or eutrophication through sulphur and nitrogen which falls on the country when only a small part of it comes from own emission sources. Most derive from outside of the country. Similarly, most of Sweden's sulphur and nitrogen is exported to countries outside of Sweden.
Substances are transported over large regions
The reason these substances are transported from one country to another is because of the average amount of time they spend in the atmosphere, which can be from a few days to up to a week. They follow therefore the winds and weather systems throughout this time. The average amount of time spent in the atmosphere is nevertheless limited, which means that these substances are not dispersed across the entire planet (as are carbon dioxide and freons).
Regions that are connected and that are usually studied from an Air Quality point of view include Europe, North America, East Asia, southern Asia and Southeast Asia. In Europe and North America, most of the regional air pollutants are reducing while they are increasing in Asia and other parts of the world.
MATCH model
SMHI's dispersion model MATCH was originally designed to study the regional transport of acidifying substances in Europe. It is still used for this purpose both in Europe and other parts of the world, for example Asia.

Rocketbirds: Hardboiled Chicken is finally blasting off onto the PlayStation Vita, bringing some rather cool new features along for the ride. If you missed out on this action adventure when it released last year for the PlayStation 3, or just want to take all of that jetpaction (jetpack + action) on the go, you can grab this one off of PSN come Feb. 12.
Producer Sian Yue Tan recently visited the PlayStation Blog to talk about Rocketbirds, a title that has already been tearing up the charts in Asia since late last year.
The core gameplay remains the same from the PlayStation 3 version of the game. In single player, you'll take control of Hardboiled Chicken, a tough-as-nails mother-clucker who knows his way around a wide array of weaponry. In order to take down the violent penguin nation that actually made Hardboiled into the soldier he is today, he'll have to fall back on pistols, machine guns, grenades and even bugs that allow him to control enemy soldiers.
Rocketbirds for the Vita will sport a separate co-op campaign that has players controlling a pair of Budgie Commandos, each with their own weaponry. These little soldiers are on a quest to save the presidents daughter and can do so in either ad-hoc or infrastructure mode.
Along with some spiffy new knife maneuvers for the extra hard difficulty and a cool shifting landscape that simulates the original game's 3D presentation via the Vita's gyroscopes, those who already own Rocketbirds on the PS3 will receive a discount on the Vita version. Also, playing the demon on the PS3 and/or owning the console version will unlock up to two new heroes for the co-op missions.
Jetpacks, mind-controlling insects, a full arsenal and both a single player and co-op campaign will be crash-landing on the PlayStation Vita when Rocketbirds: Hardboiled Chicken takes off on Feb. 12.

Sun 5th Jan 2014 9:00amConstantinesurf's Constantine Surf Report
Surf conditions at 7.50 a.m. on Sunday 5th January 2014: Is that my imagination, or is that light wind blowing offshore this morning? I think that it might be dead southerly although the headland might be bouncing it to feel more south easterly. Either way, the wind is only light and it is trying to be offshore and that is making those still big waves a pretty picture indeed! It was a bit difficult choosing the size scale and star rating this morning, the surf is probably eight footish but with ten to, yep, probably fifteen foot sets! And those outside peaks off the Reef are grinding through, top to bottom, spitting tubes! But you would never be able to get to them, unless you have a ski? Somewhere right now is absolutely rocking! It's not really doing it here, only in the mindsurfer's eye. But somewhere, somewhere there will be big, big waves and they should be as clean as you can get. Surfari anyone? Take it easy if you do, that surf could build again yet and there is that next storm hogging the Atlantic too! And, as these Winter storms wrap themselves around us, tugging and tearing and testing your wetsuit, snapping surfboards and chilling those little fingers and toes, have you thought about replacing any of your equipment yet? We have stacks of leashes, deck grip, fins and all sorts, not to forget those basic things like surfboards and wetsuits! And we're just deciding whether to do a massive clear-out Sale! What do you think? We have Xcel, O'Neill and Alder wetsuits, boots, hoods and gloves, Merrick, ....Lost, Meyerhoffer, Haydenshapes, Webber and other surfboards, FCS, Futures and Captain Fin Co fins and accessories, as well as O & E and Kommunity Project grips and bags and stuff. Plus loads more! So, do you fancy a bargain? Drop in or mail us (at firstname.lastname@example.com) for whatever you want! Check those images out below of the recent surf! Harlyn has been going off!

Last week four-star offensive lineman Josue Matias made news when he said Florida State was quickly rising on his list.
The Seminoles are still in a good position with Matias, as the Union City, N.J., prospect will be visiting the school tomorrow. It will be his first time ever visiting Florida State and he's looking forward to the experience.
Now another school from the Sunshine State is making a push for Matias.
Article Continues Below
Miami is just one of the schools, along with Rutgers, North Carolina and South Carolina, that have visited Matias' home for a visit this week. The Hurricanes are an intriguing option for him because of their hiring of Al Golden.
"They were recruiting me when they were at Temple," Matias explained. "They offered me there and now they're trying to recruit me so I'm probably going to consider them."
Matias said there is a chance he might officially visit Miami, but that's far from a given. If he takes his scheduled official visits to Rutgers and South Carolina in January he won't have any more official visits left.
