One Of The Biggest Misconceptions About Equatorial Guinea: No Infrastructure
Equatorial Guinea is not the easiest place to get to, or the easiest place to understand.
It's Africa's only Spanish-speaking country. Arriving flights generally include half foreigners and half locals. Natural resources, particularly oil, and related foreign investment helps explain that.
But the country is not simply oil. It is home to Africa's longest-serving president, whose his son is vice president and also under indictment by French authorities. Yet corruption is not the story line either.
The country is rather mysterious with a tough political and economic history, and a future murkier still in the current economic state of the oil market.
Comparing Equatorial Guinea to North Korea or Rwanda
Nearly 50 years ago, Francisco Macías Nguema, the deputy prime minister of the independent transition government, was sworn in as president after defeating Prime Minister Bonifacio Ondó in Equatorial Guinea's first free election.
Nguema ruled ruthlessly for 11 years. He is considered one of Africa's most brutal presidents. He employed monstrous tactics to subdue opponents and critics, imagined and confirmed, leaving about 20 percent of the population dead at the hands of his internal security. His country earned the nickname "the Auschwitz of Africa." Unconfirmed reports suggest that as much as 50 percent of the population fled the country during his government. He also ordered the death of more than two thirds of the national legislature and all 10 of his original ministers.
He is rumored to have ordered he killing of people who wore glasses. His internal security generally targeted the Bubi ethnic minority in an effort to eliminate the relatively wealthy and intellectual. Ngeuma outlawed private school education in 1975. The economy collapsed, the educated escaped, and foreigners left. He ordered the killing of several family members, including the brother of current President Teodore Obiang Nguema Mbasago. Obiang overthrew his uncle on Aug. 3, 1979, had him tried, and oversaw his death sentence.
When Obiang assumed power, he restored civilian rule with a new constitution, removing the authoritarian decree giving the president absolute power. He eliminated other laws that imposed up to 30 years imprisonment for insulting or offending the president or his cabinet.
One-party state
Obiang won seven-year terms in 1982 and 1989 as the only candidate on the ballot as well as in 1996, 2002, 2009 and 2016 with marginal opposition party participation. Skeptics argue that opposition parties do not have a chance to challenge the current leadership. There are no newspapers and the broadcast media are generally owned by the government. Voter fraud occurs in some districts.
All that said, Obiang has supporters who will point to his economic success in Equatorial Guinea. The story of this important oil producer is well documented. Oil was discovered in the mid-90s and the country, according to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), grew an average of nearly 40 percent per year between 1996 and 2006. Critics say that growth has been unstable ever since then. Yet Equatorial Guinea has trucked along with evident gains on the ground.
The Obiang growth strategy
The country is small with less than 1 million people, yet it has thrived under President Obiang's economic development plan heavily focused on oil. It's sub-Saharan Africa's third largest oil producer and revenues are targeted toward infrastructure spending.
One of the biggest misconceptions about the country is that there is no infrastructure. Money is aggressively being spent on construction of roads, schools, hospitals and housing. First-time visitors will encounter well-paved roads, easily navigated highways, and inexpensive tolls to cover the cost.
The government is constructing Oyala, a planned city deep in the rain forest, to possibly replace Malabo as the capital, similar to what Nigeria did in Abuja and Brazil in Brasília. Equatorial Guinea's planned city will feature new government administration buildings, a university, a couple of five-star hotels and conference centers. Kempinski Hotels, one of Europe's most reputable and oldest luxury hotel groups, plans to operate the first Oyala hotel as well as the planned golf resort. Detractors say that Oyala is being constructed at exorbitant cost to avoid seaborne coups attempts, such as the one attempted in 2009. Regardless, Obiang's efforts are manifesting tangible results.
Oil prices at the center
The problem for Obiang, however, is his country's growth can thrive and sink with the oil markets. Declining oil production coupled with lower prices decimated the Equatorial Guinea economy in recent years. GDP plunged more than 10 percent in 2015 and by nearly 8 percent in 2016 with estimates ranging from negative to 3 percent in 2017.
Gabriel Mbaga Obiang, the minister of mines and hydrocarbons, plans for Equatorial Guinea to become a member of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), the world's largest organization of oil producers. Equatorial Guinea joined 10 non-cartel members in December to cut 558,000 barrels per day of oil production in 2017 (Equatorial Guinea's share of the cut is 12,000 barrels per day). The minister traveled to Vienna last month to meet with OPEC officials.
All these efforts are likely to undercut production and revenue in 2017 and further lower the government's ability to boost growth. But the focus by Obiang's administration, along with OPEC, is to push up prices. Speaking recently with the local reporters, the minister said an oversupply of oil has been dragging down the price of the barrel. For a country that has nearly $11 billion of yearly oil and gas exports, which amounts to 95 percent of the country's total exports, a price jump in the market is the primary ingredient required to infuse growth in the country.
And, as is the norm with many oil producers, the spending has not slowed while waiting for higher prices. The country has ongoing cash-intensive projects such as the Bioko Oil Terminal, the Fortuna Floating Liquefied Natural Gas project, and the Riaba Fertilizers plant. It is also hosting its latest oil and gas licensing round, EG Ronda, offering all open acreage not currently operated or under direct negotiation.
Like diamonds in Botswana, oil is not forever
The reality for Equatorial Guinea is oil production may only have a couple more decades. The development of a dynamic and diversified non-oil economy is necessary to sustain the country. The leadership is pushing the narrative towards private-sector development. But the current measures to liberalize and privatize have not necessarily pushed the needle, with foreign business owners and investors citing institutional weakness and uncertainty as challenges.
"Putting money in oil is straightforward because of the country's focus on it," says one oil advisor, "but going beyond that will require the country's leadership to confront investor's worries and reaffirm a commitment to economic diversity."
Initial steps to improving the investment climate include strengthening property laws and labor laws. The government is wrongly portrayed as a bureaucratic hurdle. But the correct story may simply be that the leadership has not built non-oil related apparatus or does not possess officials with non-oil-related experience to reorganize the infrastructure of the public sector. Human capital development and training is part of running oil projects in the country and accordingly should extend to other private and public projects and administration. These efforts must also include introduction of performance-based pay, merit-based promotion and courses in management, accounting and entrepreneurship for locals.
A reset point
Critics rightfully will point to Vice President Teodoro Nguema Obiang Mangue — the president's son — as part of the problem. He is currently under investigation in France for embezzlement and money laundering. France has indicted him. The trial has been delayed until June. French authorities have already seized the vice president's luxury cars, including an Aston Martin, two Bugattis, two Ferraris, a Maybach, a Maserati, and a Rolls-Royce. The case will play out like a soap opera. Regardless who wins, when the dust settles on what will be a long fight, the country is at a crossroads or reset point.
Detractors do not think things will change, but the sentiment on the ground is more optimistic. Locals see the country moving forward. Mid-level government officials and business owners recognize that oil has its limits and that the country will have to evolve economically to preserve international relevance. Growing oil revenue is imperative for investment in other sectors. Revenues are still significantly allocated towards oil and gas. Yet, agricultural investment, for example, could change the lives of most Equatorial Guineans but the government is hesitant to expand spending in a variety of sectors.
The Obiang family is in the first year of another seven-year term. Without new discoveries, there are only two more presidential terms after this one where oil can be the primary revenue for the country.

U.S. Views of China's Regional Strategy: Sphere of Influence or of Interests?
Today's relationship between the United States and China is more varied, complex, and cooperative than the accumulation of headlines would lead one to believe. The news media and commentators spotlight points of friction; more books are sold about conflicts and potential conflicts than about peaceful relations; and the bread and butter of politicians and government officials is in identifying and solving problems rather than simply shepherding the normal course of events. That said, U.S.-Chinese relations remain under a cloud of mutual suspicion and misunderstanding. No relationship between large nations is totally untroubled, but that between the United States, the continuingly dominant global power, and the rising China is particularly unsettled. That situation is reflected in the way Americans have been debating China's security intentions.
There is no consensus within American opinion regarding whether China seeks to join the existing international system or to transform it. There is also an important doubt, on which this paper will focus, whether China's priority is to stabilize its neighborhood or to dominate it – or whether China sees that as the same thing. U.S. interpretations of Chinese intentions rely in part on reading what Chinese commentators write on the subject and in part on the assumptions the U.S. commentators bring to their analysis.

Liverpool: What Has Been Brendan Rodgers' Strongest XI This Season?January 14, 2013
Liverpool: What Has Been Brendan Rodgers' Strongest XI This Season?
After seven months, almost two complete transfer windows and 35 competitive matches, Brendan Rodgers is getting a hold of his new job as Liverpool manager. By now, he should have a pretty good idea of what his strongest XI is.
So far, in all competitive matches, Rogers has utilised 34 players, with Raheem Sterling playing the most times (30) and seven players appearing just once or twice to date—including record-breaking youngster Jerome Sinclair, new boy Daniel Sturridge and the now-departed Charlie Adam.
Form has been up and down for a large part of the season, though a recent resurgence offers hope for the Reds that they can pick up a significant point total in the Premier League over the second half of the season. They also have trophies to play for on two fronts, with the FA and Europa League Cups up for grabs.
Rodgers ensuring that he can select his strongest side as often as possible will determine just how far up the league table the Reds can look to finish.
Following is a breakdown of the best XI for Liverpool in the Northern Irishman's debut season in charge.
Goalkeeper: Pepe Reina
This would normally be undisputed; an almost unnecessary addition to credit Pepe Reina with being the No. 1 goalkeeping choice for Liverpool. But this season, his own form and fitness, coupled with transfer rumours circling and the improvement of Brad Jones, means it is no longer so cut-and-dried.
Reina struggled early on, perhaps with his own confidence but likely also because of yet another change in the way that the defensive line operates ahead of him. The latest incoming manager meant a fourth style for Reina to adjust to since May 2010.
It might not seem too big a deal, but for a goalkeeper who has built his solid reputation on organising defences in front, manning his penalty area with authority and being secure in his place in the team, all these switches were bound to take their toll at some point.
In truth, Reina's poor form started more than a year ago, but the start of this campaign saw him perhaps hit the bottom. Injury soon followed on international duty with Spain, and suddenly, one of last season's heroes of the FA Cup, Brad Jones, was thrust back into the limelight.
Jones is well-liked because of his admirable confidence and mental strength. He seems to be a good character in the dressing room and, most importantly, he has shown in his 11 appearances this season that he can be a real challenger to Reina's post.
However, Reina has bounced back with a series of better performances and clean sheets over the past couple of months, and he maintains his place as first-choice 'keeper at Liverpool.
Right-Back: Andre Wisdom
One of the rookies of Liverpool's team, Andre Wisdom only made his debut in September but has already established himself as a regular member of the match-day squad and has amassed 15 appearances so far—nine of them in the Premier League.
Strong, athletic, comfortable in possession and reliable for such a young defender, Wisdom has made the transition from reserve-team centre-back to first-team full-back with ease.
He has much to learn in terms of when to press higher up the pitch, his delivery in the final third could use a little more work and, of course, as a young defender, you need to expect and accept a few mistakes. But, by and large, he has been a terrific integration in the side.
Wisdom has had two major spells in the team either side of a Jose Enrique mini-resurgence, but he has been much the more reliable and higher quality of the two. He also balances Liverpool's defence out at times; one full-back attacking, the other holding position more.
That's not to say that he can't attack though.
Wisdom isn't the type to bomb forward with the ball at his feet, but he is intelligent enough to let space open up ahead of him before quickly accelerating into it to receive the ball to feet—and that is just as effective a method of attacking the flanks as trying to dribble past an opposition midfielder. It is quite a lot safer too.
Central Defenders: Martin Skrtel and Daniel Agger
Central defence is one of three areas which needs little explanation.
With Jamie Carragher and Sebastian Coates providing nothing more than cover this season, Martin Skrtel and Daniel Agger are the two regulars for Brendan Rodgers.
Both have had a few off-games where mistakes have cost Liverpool goals and points, but in general, they are an effective partnership and hold the back line together well.
Agger is the more controlled organiser and the one blessed with good vision and anticipation. Skrtel is the sweeper down the right channel with a thundering sliding tackle, and he is the individual more likely to jump into a challenge 15 metres further up the pitch to stop an attack before it really takes hold.
They are the Reds' first choice pairing and, barring injury and suspension, will stay so for the whole season.
Left-Back: Glen Johnson
Liverpool have managed to field four players at left-back again in the opening half of the season, in what remains the club's most problematic position to fill with reliability and quality.
Jose Enrique has alternated between woeful and explosive, Stewart Downing has filled in when required and youngster Jack Robinson will be hoping for more than his five appearances so far this term.
But the best of the lot has been Glen Johnson.
Usually the Reds' right-back, he has arguably been the best attacking full-back in the entire Premier League this season, combining strong defensive performances most weeks with his usual attacking invention and thrust.
Johnson has been at his best when paired down the flank with Stewart Downing, who leaves more space infield for Johnson to hurtle into. Unlike most full-backs who will almost exclusively attack the flanks, Johnson prefers to cut infield toward the penalty area as he enters the final third. He is usually heavily involved in the build-up play—regardless if playing from the right or left.
At present, he's the Reds' best option for the left because Wisdom has offered the solidity on the right, but this has got to be the position near the top of the manager's "to do" list for the summer.
Holding Midfielder: Joe Allen
Liverpool's three-man midfield under Brendan Rodgers consists of a holding, controlling player who will receive the ball from the defence or goalkeeper and distribute into midfield, a playmaking central midfielder who is intended as the hub of the team's rhythm and tempo, and a more attacking midfielder.
Joe Allen has filled all three roles at times this season, but after a good start, has fallen off the pace of matches recently.
Filling in for the injured Lucas during the first couple of months as the deepest of the three, Allen received the space and time to play his normal passing game as the rest of the team got to grips with a new formation and altered routine of training and playing matches.
With most expecting that he would excel further when deployed closer to the attacking third, Lucas' return was eagerly anticipated—but instead it has coincided with a dip in form from the Welshman and a spell in and out of the team.
Whether because of tiredness, expectancy of playing for a bigger club or simply not being confident enough to play his normal game, Allen has not yet hit the heights expected of him in a more attacking role.
Having said that, Lucas has also not recovered his best form post-injury and is struggling to recapture his best levels of dominating midfield—so Allen remains the strongest player Liverpool have had in this position so far.
Deep Playmaking Midfielder: Steven Gerrard
Allen's form has somewhat reverse-engineered that of Steven Gerrard.
Early in the campaign the captain seemed to take a time to come to terms with what his manager was asking of him, playing as one of the two deeper midfielders instead of the expected attacking element.
Gerrard's ball retention was questioned at times—as was the manager's decision to play him further back in a team which was crying out for goals; either as the attacking midfielder or as one of the front three, it was generally thought that Gerrard would aid scoring significantly if the team could get him in the penalty area.
Instead, Liverpool persevered with the No. 8 in the deeper role and over the past six weeks his form has taken off.
Suddenly the team had gotten to grips with positioning themselves higher up the pitch and as a result, Gerrard was afforded huge amounts of space to work in—and picked up six assists in a matter of weeks as a result, as well as a handful of goals.
He has been one of Liverpool's best players for over a month and results have picked up at the same time.
Advanced Midfielder: Jordan Henderson
The third and most advanced position in midfield is a curious one.
Brendan Rodgers has tried all sorts of combinations; the raw potential and huger of Jonjo Shelvey, the creative Sahin, Joe Allen, Suso—and, finally, Jordan Henderson.
Each of the players who came before him in the role—while the former Sunderland player was stuck out at right-back, holding midfield, left-sided forward and who knows where else—had their good moments, but none showed enough consistency to nail down the spot.
For four weeks or so over the Christmas and New Year period of fixtures, though, Henderson brought not only technical ability but also power and terrific work-rate to the team as his running enabled Gerrard in particular to be afforded much more time on the ball.
He can count himself unlucky to have lost his starting spot in the most recent of games—but he's probably been the most effective in the role to date this season, despite getting the last shot at it and having played fewer games in that position than some of the others.
Settling on a player who will do well in this role will be important for Brendan Rodgers; the last 20 minutes against Manchester United saw Luis Suarez operate in a very loose version of the role. Time will tell if he will get more minutes trying the same position.
Right Forward: Raheem Sterling
Liverpool's front line almost picks itself.
An early season injury to Fabio Borini meant that youngsters such as Suso were handed more chances, but Raheem Sterling was already in the team by then and in his first few months showed plenty of the explosive talent that he possesses.
Having played the most games at this stage of the season has had an obvious effect on the wide forward.
Not so much his confidence but his sharpness, ability to beat players and his effect on the game in general has diminished of late, and he will be afforded a well-earned rest over the coming weeks as Borini's injury and the signing of Daniel Sturridge hand Rodgers more options in the final third.
Sterling is a very good talent and will get better as he gains more experience, but his true worth is in beating defenders to create space for himself and others—a spell on the sidelines will help him get back to his best.
Centre-Forward: Luis Suarez
No question here.
Luis Suarez may or may not continue in the most advanced central attacker's role for the remainder of the season, but he has operated there with aplomb from August to January and is the Reds' top scorer with 19 goals in all competitions—two better than last season's total already.
One of the best footballers in all of Europe, Suarez brings creativity, hunger, pace and aggression to the front line which is too often otherwise lacking in four in recent times.
Left Forward: Stewart Downing
Out on the opposite flank, the recent improvement in form of Stewart Downing secures him the left-forward berth after a very poor start to the season saw him lose his place in the team altogether.
Another who has benefited from the injury to Borini, Downing took longer to regain his place after the likes of Suso and Jose Enrique were given runs in the team.
A couple of months' worth of effective wing play is not enough to secure his long-term future at the club and Downing needs to prove he can produce on a consistent basis if he is to remain at Liverpool beyond the summer, but his upturn in form is very much appreciated nonetheless.
He's in the team on merit these days, has been a much harder worker in both directions and has combined well with Suarez and Glen Johnson.
Even so, he is one of those under pressure to keep up his good levels in the near future with the increased options available for the front line.
On the Bench, or in the Team?
For a variety of reasons, there are up to half a dozen players who would hope to be a part of Liverpool's strongest XI, but haven't yet managed it this season.
In goal, as mentioned, Brad Jones has been pushing Reina hard but is understandably and undeniably the No. 2 pick at present and will likely remain so.
Jose Enrique had picked up his form over December after an awful first three or four months of the season when he lost his place in the team. However, an injury has meant he lost his spot once more—we'll see how many more chances he gets after his return, due in another couple of weeks.
Lucas Leiva is Liverpool's usual holding midfielder but after two injuries robbed him of more than a year of football, he has yet to return to his absolute top level. He will certainly continue to get plenty of game time and will be first choice in more matches than not—because he is the Reds' only "real" defensive midfielder.
However, he will know that he needs to continue working on his fitness and form to be seen as an indispensable member of the side once more.
Fabio Borini is another who would have played far more this season, up front aiding Luis Suarez, but for injury. A three-month layoff has ruined his debut season so far, but Borini should be back in the squad for Liverpool within a week or two.
Finally, of course, there is one striker who will be expected to be an immediate addition to the first-team list: Daniel Sturridge.
It remains to be seen whether he plays centrally or from the right, but it is certainly expected that he takes the place of either Sterling or Downing. Initially it could be the former who makes way, having played a lot of matches this season already, but Downing is likely the longer-term victim of the purchase with Sterling showing far more potential.
Liverpool's squad continues to improve slowly, but Rodgers knows he will need a few more new faces to challenge the "strongest XI" if the Reds are to make up more ground on the top end of the table.

We can usually help with neutering yor cat. We are happy to discuss this with you if you phone us but, if you prefer, you can follow what is below so that we can get things underway.
You need to;
Send us a NEW email to
Write 'Neutering' in the subject line
Main part of message: just follow the example below, writing in your own details instead of those made up:
Mr Tom Smith
1 Main Street
Cat/s details;
Molly, five months, female
Harry, five months, male
Poppy, 4, female
Vets to be used:
12 Peter Street
Our usual system is that we send vouchers to the named vets, though one vet works differently. These help towards the cost of neutering; the one for a male is worth £20 and one for a female is worth £26. This comes off the price that any vet charges for neutering. However, in some cases the price you will be asked to contribute will be lower than this because of links we have with vets.
We aim to ensure that the voucher will arrive at a vets about a week after we have received a request, though this can vary and be longer than this or it may be sooner. The owner usually needs to then contact the vet themselves, having given time for the voucher to arrive. When the owner is told that their vouchers have arrived, cats can then be booked in. One of our main vets does now usually phone owners when they receive vouchers.
PLEASE feel free to contact us again if vouchers appear to be delayed. We can usually put this right quite quickly.
For your interest
Vets' prices vary a lot. After enquiring at vets yourself, if you find the cost for neutering is still very high, even with the voucher to help, do feel free to contact us, as we may be able to point you in another direction where less of a contribution is needed by you. You will need a secure, strong carrier for each cat to be neutered so that they can be transported to the vets safely.
We would, with the greatest respect, ask that you remember that we are a charity. We hope that you will bear this is mind and if you can easily afford to pay for your cat/s to be neutered, perhaps consider people in real need whose cats need neutering too, along with all the poor, innocent souls who have been completely neglected and very often just abandoned, having to fend for themselves, often scavenging for food and with no shelter etc. A lot of these little ones should never have been born but once they have been, we have a duty of care towards them. Part of this is to have them neutered along with ensuring they have any basic care needed, poor souls. This all costs a lot of money of course.
If you are going to have your cats neutered, this shows that you are a responsible owner who really cares about your cats' welfare and health. PLEASE encourage as many other people you come across to do the same. You will be preventing a lot of suffering and sadness if you do.
- OR BY PHONE: Our new number is 07760 780 759
This branch is run solely by volunteers and we rely on donations, along with our adoption fee, to enable us to rescue, 'repair' and then nurture the cats and kittens that come into our care until we can find them loving and safe new homes.
We never ask a vet to put a healthy cat to sleep.

The Metropolitan Police Service's (MPS) current local policing model does not currently provide the degree of police visibility in our neighbourhood that is expected by stakeholders. A new scheme, Met Patrol Plus, will provide for uniformed police officers to be supplied on a 'buy one, get one free' basis within the South Bank BID area for a minimum of 3 years. The aim of the scheme is to enhance police visibility in the area and to reduce crime and anti-social behaviour.
The officers will blend problem solving and direct enforcement activity to address the priorities of the South Bank. This includes unlicensed street trading, aggressive begging, street drinking, anti-social behaviour and the theft of personal property from people at venues.
The police officers will work closely with the area's private security teams. This will include them undertaking joint patrols and working with the South Bank Patrol. They will be expected to attend stakeholder and community meetings, as well as functions which will enhance their visibility and engagement within the area and enable them to undertake effective problem solving with our community. This work will be completed in partnership with a number of statutory and non statutory organisations that have a responsibility for tackling crime and anti social behaviour in the area.
The London Eye S106 and South Bank BID will fund for one officer and Mayor's Office for Policing and Crime (MOPAC) would provide an additional constable free of charge. This will equate to 80 hours of policing over a 7 day week.
South Bank BID businesses can find out more about the security services available to them by contacting the Public Realm Team at email@example.com

text: 1. I came from the droid that did not have internal storage, and I have a friend with the droid incredible that does. When he connects the incredible to his computer he is able to access both his internal storage and his SD card. They show up as drive F and G. I can only access my SD card. Drive F is the only one that shows up on mine. 2. I had read many articles about prior to 2.2 the droid x and droid incredible could not store apps to the internal storage (not SD card). Engadget and Phandroid both explained why. They were the first phones to have an internal storage other than RAM/ROM and the operating system was not written to be able to write apps to anything other than RAM/ROM for copy write purposes. I also found where people were rooting their phone for this reason so that they could get their apps on either the internal storage or the SD card. So now that we have 2.2, are the apps going to the internal storage and leaving all the RAM for memory and not storage? Where can I see how much free memory I have? I mainly want to know because I am a freak about keeping my phone fast and clean. I do like to try apps, but in the past if it's an app I don't use all the time, I will get rid of it to keep it running great! Again, I came from the droid that had 256 not 512 like the DX. But if I know for sure that the apps are being stored on the 8 gigs of internal storage I will start keeping a lot more apps on my phone. Thanks

Obviously, you didn't buy your Sonoma unless you wanted to buy horsepower and rugged design both rolled up into one car, truck, or SUV. You purchased your Sonoma because its reliability and longevity agreed with your nature; so why would you settle for anything but the best when it comes to superior quality auto parts? It's not a regular occurrence that you realize that you have to buy a replacement Oil Filter to fix your vehicle. When your GMC Sonoma rolled off the assembly line, it was destined for a driver who wants longevity in their automobile.
The longevity of our engines depends on how well they are cared for and lubricated. Oil filters have been around for almost 100 years, and your GMC Sonoma engine benefits from the innovations made a century ago. Your GMC Sonoma oil filter separates the engine oil and the debris that normally flows through it so that the engine can continue to remain lubricated. If your oil filter is clogged and needs replacing, the engine oil would become increasingly dirty, highly viscous, and ineffective.
When your GMC requires a new replacement Oil Filter, there's no need to go somewhere besides the authority, Car Parts Discount. Given all the hassles associated with repairing damage to your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the most authoritative website you go to make buying it easy. Bring your Sonoma back to life with the best replacement parts from the experts at Car Parts Discount. If your car or truck was built in 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 2000, 1999, 1998, 1997, 1996, 1995, 1994, 1993, 1992, 1991, then you will find the correct GMC Sonoma Oil Filter parts right here.

We have our daughter and granddaughters here for a couple of weeks. Life is busy, they talked me into downloading an app on my phone that keeps track of my steps. I thought that I was keeping track of them pretty well up until now, instead of making me walk more, it just reminds me that I am not walking as much as I should. Not sure it is a good thing or not.
I am enjoying having them around for awhile though. We're heading over to WA. state for a family reunion next week. Will see a few of the sites, do a little hiking and then back home for a well deserved rest, I will need it by then. The girls are in high school now, both have their cars and not easy to keep up with them. I remember the days when I had teenagers, just was not enough time in the day to get everything done.
The cherries are hanging from the trees, the cauliflower looks like it had a bit too much fertilizer (It's huge!!!!), and the chicks are growing like weeds. Life is good on the farm. We haven't heard the guinea hens get overly loud yet, but everyone says it's coming. I think that I am kinda looking forward to it, ever since losing the dog, it's just too quiet around here. We have been kicking around the idea of getting a Britney or a blue tick hound dog, they both look like they would fit right into our life style. The Britney is a little smaller, making it a good dog for being in the house with us, and the hound just has that lazy look and feeling like she would fit right in also. What kind do you like?
You don't have to see them or talk to them every day,
To know that God has sent them in His own special way.

UUWorld.org reports that a new system has been announced for choosing workshops at General Assembly. This system will immediately shift the focus to workshops focusing on"congregational growth, new directions in ministry, and social justice."
The three tracks are explained as follows (from uua.org announcement):
- Growing the Congregations We Want to Be: Imagine 1000 vibrant centers of liberal faith reaching out to the world with a message of hope! Congregations grow in number and impact one Sunday and one relationship at a time by focusing on mission, hospitality and spiritual depth. What are the practical arts, skills and practices of vibrant congregations?
- Embracing Evolving Ministries: We are called to create multicultural, multiracial congregations eager to welcome each rising generation. This responsibility requires that we think about ministry in new ways and in new contexts, reaching beyond Sunday morning into the workplace, campus, community and statehouse. What skills do we need to create and sustain these new, shared ministries?
- Building a More Just Community: We recognize that true spirituality results in acts of compassion that build communities of peace and justice. Courage and partnership will be required to confront the moral issues of our time. What strategies and experiences inform effective work for justice?
Previously GA workshops were assigned to the following groups:
- UUA districts
- UUA staff groups
- Associate and Independent Affiliate organizations
- Theological schools.
Under the new system there appear to be no sacred slots with the program development group ( PDG – Joy, a new acronym!) fully responsible for inviting and selecting workshops. The PDG is a team comprised of Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) staff and GA Planning Committee members and is responsible for developing and/or inviting proposals for quality, mission-based GA programs. (source)
Proposals are due no later than November 16, 2009.

If you'd like to improve your outdoor living space but desire an alternative to a wood deck or a boring concrete-slab patio, look no further than concrete pavers. Beautiful, durable, and available in a wide range of colors and patterns, pavers can give you whatever look you're after.
You can create a simple square patio or an intricate showpiece in complex curves. Walkways, eating areas, play areas, a spot for that shiny new gas grill -- they're all possible with these versatile paving stones. And with a little work, they're also a great do-it-yourself project that will add not only bring satisfaction and outdoor enjoyment, but also add resale value to your home.
Pick a pattern and a color
At your local home center, lumberyard or other retailer of paving stone products, you'll be able to get a look at the many different stones available. They range from uniform squares and rectangles to ones that appear to have a more random, flag...

UK cities, mayoral powers, and "tall poppy syndrome"Submitted by Jess Zimbabwe on August 22, 2012 - 9:00pm
This morning over at Atlantic Cities, Richard Florida aptly refuted an opinion piece by Kevin Meagher that appeared in the Guardian last week advocating for doing away with the position of Mayor in London. Florida lays out several strong arguments in favor of a strong elected mayor who can act as an advocate for his or her city.

Cul-de-sacs verboten?: Tim Kaine and Roman Polanski on dead-end streetsSubmitted by Jess Zimbabwe on March 31, 2009 - 8:20am
As you may have heard in yesterday's Planetizen Podcast, Virginia Governor Tim Kaine doesn't like cul-de-sacs.
Most news reports on the story have claimed that the state is "forbidding," "banning," or even "outlawing" the cul-de-sac. In fact, Virginia municipalities can still design, build, and approve any road patterns they wish, but the State will no longer agree to foot the bill for the ongoing maintenance of cul-de-sacs. The news item came up in a staff meeting yesterday and one colleague told us that a friend he was having dinner with declared the move "Un-American!"
post-Starbucks planningSubmitted by Jess Zimbabwe on September 16, 2008 - 7:56am
Starbucks stores have seen a lot of protests. Due to its international brand recognition, the chain became an easy mark for activists looking to draw media attention to concerns from genetic engineering to union busting, from store placements in historically sensitive locations to the company's opposition to Ethiopia's application to trademark three types of coffee.
Liveblog from the MICD Santa Rosa Technical Assistance Team SessionSubmitted by Jess Zimbabwe on July 18, 2008 - 2:40pm
In early 2008, the Mayors' Institute on City Design received a generous gift from the Edward W.

The four cities that we selected for the pilot phase of this work were Santa Rosa, CA, Lincoln, NE, Cincinnati, OH, and Tulsa, OK.

Unanswered: help with dates
hiya guys.
I'm having a little trouble with a criteria on one of my queries.
What I would like to do is show records which are a month other due and also which records are due in a month so i am guessin i need some criteria which pulls out dates which are 31ish days in the past and 31ish days in the future.
effectively wat i want is something that can tell me things that are overdue from the previous month and stuff which is likely 2 be due in the current month.
i tried something like >=Date()-30 And <=Date()+30
but that doesnt seem 2 work

thanks, got it to work in the end ok next challenge....... now that i can filter these dates out i have marked them with either Overdue or Due soon using the following:
status: IIf([valid_till]<=Date(),"Overdue","Due Soon")
which works a treat. I'm now wondering if i can use my query to count the number of those marked with "Overdue"

Over the last couple of months these psychedelic rainbow bagels have been taking Instagram by storm.
From funfetti cream cheese filling to pink fluff, they are bright, colourful and totally instagramable and I had to get my hands on them as soon as I came across them back in February.
Where did they come from?
Originating in New York City at The Bagel Store on Bedford Avenue.
The owner Scot Rossillo was the first creator of the rainbow bagel which has now made its way across the pond. But along with the rainbow bagel creation he now makes bagels in a range of bright beautiful colours.
All of Rossillos bagels taste different, I particularly want to try the cotton candy one, and all the colours are just outstanding!!!
The rainbow bagels are only made in small batches and you have to pre order one, unlike the ones in London where you can just pick one up for lunch.
So where can you get them in London?
So for everyone who has asked me where you can get them, this is especially for you.
I went to two different places to show you the different types of Rainbow bagels available in London and why / how they differ.
First of is the Beigel Shop on Brick Lane.
Typically known as the yellow one as you will find the Beigel Bakery one door down with the white sign.
Both open 24 hours, both have raving reviews and a must if your visiting, but only the Beigel Shop sells the Rainbow Bagels.
Located at the northern end of Brick Lane, you will see the colour run sign saying "Famous Rainbow Bagels Sold Here" along with a range of the rainbow bagels on show.
For just 30p they are a complete bargain, and they have a range of fillings for you to try.
The good thing about these bagels are that they are freshly made on the day and mine was warm and smelt beautiful when I got it.
These ones had a slight sweet fruity taste to them. It's not overly strong so don't worry about that.
As you can see they are brightly coloured, but not the complete perfect swirls of the original rainbow bagel but for the price it's not bad.
Selfridges Food hall.
It was only a matter of time before Selfridges got the hottest trend in their store.
Supplied to Selfridges by Yummies Deli, I only came across them being stocked in store two days before I went into London to grab some.
I am so glad I found out about them as they are the definition of the rainbow bagel.
As you can see they are beautiful, with 6 colours all twisted together to get that rainbow effect.
They are more expensive than the Beigel Shop addition at £4.99 for a bag of five.
But I think for the quality of the bagels and for how pretty they are I don't mind paying that for a one off colourful treat.
There is no taste with these one they taste just like a normal bagel.
Get your hands on them while you can and experiment with some fun colour fillings.
I can't wait to get the fluff and funfetti out and I have even more reason to visit New York again so I can try all these amazing new flavours.
Hope you enjoyed this post, be sure to check out my instagram and twitter to see which weird and wondful concoctions I come up with and to check out other cool things I find.

Feel free to send me photos of your bagels that you buy I would love to see them :)

Former Delaware State Senate candidate Eric Bodenweiser faced his accuser June 2 in Delaware Superior Court in Georgetown.
The man who has accused Bodenweiser of sexually abusing him 25 years ago took the witness stand to testify about events he says took place when he was 10 and Bodenweiser was his neighbor.
Clad in a dark suit and green tie, the victim, now 37, testified candidly about what he says happened. He said his mother was his best friend; she worked for Bodie's Dairy Market, a convenience store chain run by Bodenweiser's family. The victim said his father was a Vietnam veteran and an alcoholic who was physically abusive to his mother and mentally and verbally abusive to him.
The victim described himself as an average, but chunky kid who did not fit in with the older kids in his Frankford development. He said his father ran the house like a drill sergeant and that he and his father clashed repeatedly.
The victim, who now has a shaved head and a beard, said Bodenweiser lived across the street with his wife and young daughter. He said he would help give heartworm medication to Bodenweiser's black labs. In late 1986 or early 1987, the victim said, Bodenweiser's wife left him, but he continued to go to Bodenweiser's house to take care of the dogs and to help Bodenweiser work on his race car.
"He was pretty cool to a 9-year-old kid," the victim said.
The interactions with Bodenweiser changed when Bodenweiser invited the boy into his home. The victim said inside the house, Bodenweiser had pornographic movies on the television; they would be playing when he entered or were put on after he came in. He said Bodenweiser asked him what he thought about the movies; he testified that he thought they were funny looking.
The victim said at one point, while watching a pornographic movie, he became aroused and ran to the bathroom, embarrassed.
Bodenweiser came through the door, which had no lock, and asked the boy what he had in his hands. He said Bodenweiser touched him and then exposed himself. The victim said Bodenweiser grabbed him by the back of the head and forced him to perform oral sex.
They went back to the living room, where the victim said Bodenweiser again forced him to perform oral sex. On the stand, the victim paused, took a breath, and said, "He finished."
The victim said Bodenweiser told him not to say anything about what happened. Referring to his mother's work for Bodie's Market, the victim said Bodenweiser told him, "I can make it harder on you."
The victim stayed away from Bodenweiser's home for a time, but then went back. He said this time, Bodenweiser forced him to perform oral sex, then took him to the living room, where Bodenweiser made him get on his hands and knees. He said Bodenweiser then raped him.
"It was excruciating," he said.
The victim said Bodenweiser snickered about this encounter and told the boy, mockingly, that he'd just had an AIDS test and was positive. He said after the incident, Bodenweiser would imply what happened in front of other kids in the neighborhood. The victim said he did not say anything to his parents out of fear and embarrassment.
He said he went back to Bodenweiser's house again several months later. He said Bodenweiser again had pornography on the television and forced him to have sex.
"I trusted him, and it continued to happen," the victim said.
The final abuse, he said, came after the victim had tried out for his junior high school football team. He said for a few weeks before tryouts, he had talked with Bodenweiser, who had also played football as a youth. He said he wore his practice jersey to Bodenweiser's house to get Bodenweiser's approval. The victim said Bodenweiser put on a pornographic movie.
"I knew what was going to happen," he said.
The victim said he did not tell his parents what had happened until he was 17 years old. The family agreed not to talk about it ever again. It wasn't until 2012, when Bodenweiser unseated incumbent Joe Booth for the Republican nomination for the 19th Senate District seat, that he decided to come forward.
"I was tired of running from this. Tired of dealing with it. I didn't want him to be in another position of power to do something to another kid," the victim said.
Call to radio show
After initially contacting Delaware State Police but feeling he wasn't getting anywhere, the victim said he left a comment on WBOC-TV's Facebook page and then contacted radio host Dan Gaffney. The victim said Gaffney told him to stop talking, and the two talked off-air. Shortly after that, the victim said he was contacted by Delaware State Police Detective John King, who interviewed him in Florida.
The victim said he also spoke with Bodenweiser's estranged brother, Paul, who kept a blog and, according to defense attorney John Hurley, "hates his brother's guts." The victim said he received $100 in the mail from Paul Bodenweiser, but he did not testify as to what the money was for. He said he did not receive any other money from Paul Bodenweiser.
Cross-examination of the victim is scheduled to begin June 3, Hurley said. He said he did not cross-examine the victim June 2 because his story on the witness stand was inconsistent with his original statements. While he said he would save what those inconsistencies are for the courtroom, Hurley said the victim's mother worked for Bodie's for only nine days.
During the victim's testimony, Bodenweiser sat expressionless, facing his accuser, occasionally jotting notes. Bodenweiser faces 14 counts of first-degree unlawful sexual intercourse and 14 counts of second-degree unlawful sexual contact. The trial began May 30 in Sussex County Superior Court before a jury of seven women and five men.
Defense pounces on friend's testimony
Prosecutors also called Amie Errickson, a friend of Bodenweiser's accuser, to the stand. She said when they were in ninth grade, the victim told her that he had been sexually abused. Errickson said the victim did not tell her who had abused him, only that it was a man.
Errickson said she and the victim were like brother and sister, even referring to themselves that way on Facebook.
On cross-examination, Hurley jumped all over Errickson's testimony, pointing out inconsistencies in her statements to police and then in testimony. In court, Hurley said, Errickson and the victim talked about sexual abuse, but she told King that the victim said he had been touched.
Errickson also said she and the victim had not discussed the case, but Hurley pressed her, and she admitted she had discussed being contacted about testifying by the victim on Facebook. Errickson also admitted she and the victim rode together to the courthouse June 2. Afterwards, Hurley scoffed at the notion that they had not discussed their testimony with one another.
Also testifying was Gaffney, the radio host who took the on-air call from the victim claiming Bodenweiser molested him. Gaffney said he told the victim to call his office line off-air, and they talked over the phone a day or two after the victim's original on-air call. Gaffney testified the victim had referred to Bodenweiser's house as a mobile home. Gaffney also testified he referred the victim to police after hearing about the victim's first sexual encounter with Bodenweiser.

This guy's great! I'm on my second Honda, and he's always helped me keep both running well over 100,000. He never tries to tell you more repairs are necessary than really are. When I first went to him, I took his estimate to three different places, and he was by far the lowest and fastest. I've had some problems that other places couldn't even figure out, and he nailed them both. Now I live in Waco, but will take my car up to him if ever I need another repair.
Sep 09, 2004
They repaired my 1992 Toyota pickup when the timing chain broke and I am pleased with the repair and overall experience. Robert discussed my options and provided what I believe is reasonable advice. Once I decided to proceed with the repair his shop completed the work in the time frame estimated and with no surprise charges. I was surprised though at the unexpected attention to detail and replacement of minor parts like hoses and belts at no additional charge. My truck ran very well and when I detected minor pinging I took it back and the problem was investigated and corrected while I waited. If I ever need other mechanical work done on my truck I will take it back to this shop.
Jul 07, 2000
I got this name from the Car Talk database and decided to give them a try. I'm sure I'll go back. Price was reasonable and car was ready before promised time. Robert seems to know his subject matter very well.
Jan 22, 2001
Shop was highly competent in fixing multiple oil leaks of my car. Robert was direct (e.g. no-BS) in explaining initial problems found and dead-on his estimates of time-to- complete and final cost. Robert also forthright in providing maintenance tips and engine information. I'd return to this shop in a heartbeat for any future engine issue that had to be fixed.
Jan 26, 2001
The chief mechanic Robert was honest and helpful with both his tune-up and advice for future maintenance. The price was VERY reasonable and I only was without my car 1 day. I highly recommend this shop for at least Toyota maintenance!
Feb 27, 2001
I was very pleased with the work performed on my Lexus. The dealership would have charged me an arm and leg for routine maintenance. Robert's prices are very competitive and he was very patient with me in explaining everything he did. I trust his judgment and would have no problem returning. His address is 4321 Lindbergh, Addison.
Mar 16, 2001
Robert Fought, the owner, is patient, honest and thorough. I was very impressed with the service, speed and fair pricing. In addition, he seems very competent.
Jul 13, 2005
I went to this auto shop for my Rav 4 because of the reviews in CarTalk. I needed fairly extensive maintenance work - timing belt, shocks/struts, brakes all around, and tune-up. Also, my gas pedal was sticking up when I released it and the car would lurch when I depressed it again. I also was having a little problem with the steering wheel being stiff when I first started the car. Robert told me to bring the car in on Monday evening and it would be ready by Wednesday afternoon. My thinking was "no way." He explained everything to me that he would be doing along with the work being done - water pump change, hoses, belts, etc. Sure enough, the car was done by 3:00 on Wednesday for the price we discussed. I had one minor problem after I got it back, took the car in on Saturday morning, and it was fixed within 10 minutes. That was 14,000 miles ago and I have had no problems since. I drive 120 miles a day to work and am thrilled to have a mechanic I can trust and who will actually repair the car. Oh yes, the gas pedal was strictly a stuck throttle and he sprayed it to clean it. The steering wheel, he said, was stiff because there was too much power steering fluid. I recommend this garage to anyone with a Japanese car. He uses all factory parts so they really fit the vehicle they were designed for, as opposed to non-factory parts.

Skunk Creek is less skunky, thanks to a joint city/state/federal effort to pay farmers to keep their cows out of the water during the best boating months:
About 60 percent of the water flowing through the still-impaired Big Sioux River comes from Skunk Creek, according to Jesse Neyens of Sioux Falls Environmental Division.
"We're extremely happy that Skunk Creek being de-listed for total suspended solids," Neyens said. "It shows that the work that's been put into the watershed is paying off."
The success story stems from a partnership, Neyens said..The city has taken out more than $5 million in state revolving fund loans to improve the Big Sioux River and Skunk Creek since 2013. Funding also has come from the federal government, the DENR and local conservation districts. The DENR set up a page on its website to outline the Skunk Creek project.
After bank improvements were completed, the focus shifted to a program called Seasonal Riparian Area Management, or S-RAM. Producers sign 10- or 15-year contracts to keep cattle out of the water through the recreation season [John Hult, "Skunk Creek Pollution Drops," that Sioux Falls paper, 2016.08.11].
According to the DENR's website on the Skunk Creek project, SRAM-eligible pasture extends from creek's edge out to the 100-year flood plain boundary. Livestock producers get $60 per acre to not run cattle on that ground from April through September. Cattle can graze the rest of the year if the farmers maintain four to six inches of vegetation.
$60 an acre—funny. Senate Bill 136, the grassy buffer strip bill that the Governor vetoed over fiscal concerns last spring, was estimated to cost between $12 and $28.89 an acre. Plus, where the cost of SRAM is an additional budget line, SB 136 was budget-neutral: it would have lowered the property tax on participating land and balanced that loss by spreading the balance out across the much larger tracts of non-participating land.
If Sioux Falls can spend big money on voluntary incentives to improve water quality, and if the state is willing to distribute federal dollars for the purpose, why not add some more local effort through sensible ag land assessment based on actual use of the land to keep more pollution out of our water?

This is my second pair of Ultegra wheels (for my second bike). At that price, I wouldn't go for anything else. They're as light as wheels priced 5 times more, they're solid and they provide a smooth feel when riding. The only thing is they look flash but personally I have no problem with that.
Great new wheels roll so smooth response to turns with great feel from the wider hubs ,stiff to .a little tight getting the tyres on but that is a small thing . Great to roll past mates free wheeling downthe hills .
What a change from my stock wheels. They are so light it feels like the frame floats above the road. Great quality. Nice understated looks. I just found minor paint chips on some spokes and the decals on the rims do not 100% adhere well. Happy with the purchase overall.
These were a replacement for my durace wheels and I believe they perform just as well.
