LAKE ELSINORE -- City Councilman Bob Magee is blasting the deficit spending proposed in the city's operating budget for the coming fiscal year, which starts July 1.
In a recent memorandum to fellow council members and city staff, Magee wrote that for the past two years Lake Elsinore has passed budgets that are in the red and is now proposing continued deficit spending in the this fiscal year and next.
"This trend, I believe, must be stopped now," Magee wrote in his May 20 memorandum.
City Councilman Bob Schiffner, however, said Monday that as long as things come back in balance in the near future, a short period of deficit spending is OK in order to maintain services.
The latest revised-budget proposal for 2004-05 shows the city taking in $24.1 million and spending $25.3 million.
The city ended the 2002-03 budget year with $4.1 million in excess revenues left over from previous budget years. In the current budget year, which ends June 30, the city used $1 million of that money to replace the shortfall that occurred when projected revenues were less than expenditures. The city also used another $1 million to bring its reserves up to the current $3 million level. For the coming year, the city has proposed again dipping into its unallocated funds to make up for another $1 million shortfall.
City officials say they believe they will need to continue depleting the unallocated revenues in the 2005-06 fiscal year. By the 2006-07 fiscal year, however, they expect that the city will have turned the corner and at that point -- barring unforeseen circumstances -- revenues will have surpassed expenditures.
To help meet the coming year's projected shortfall, city staff has also proposed budget cuts to several departments. The city had asked each department to try to cut 6 percent from its projected expenditures in the coming year. At last week's budget review session, more than $300,000 in cuts to different departments were proposed.
Magee says that's not enough and suggests further reductions, in particular of expenditures for things which can be put off temporarily. The additional temporary cuts he proposed would not include basic city services like police and fire, Magee said. He does propose cutting -- for now -- what he calls non-emergency items. Magee's suggestions include: postponing information and technology upgrades, deferring merit pay raises; delaying the hiring of a proposed senior planner and new chief engineering inspector; and eliminating travel and meeting expenses.
"Why don't we just not go anywhere for a while?" Magee asked Monday.
The total savings from the cuts Magee suggests would save the city $1.2 million, according to his calculations and save Lake Elsinore from having to dip into its unallocated revenues again this coming fiscal year, he said.
"I don't spend more than I make, personally. I don't do it in my business, and I don't propose to that with the public's money," Magee said. "I don't understand the term 'unallocated revenue.' I would love to get an explanation."
Lake Elsinore's director of administrative services, Matt Pressey, said Monday that the city's budgets are made using conservative estimates for both revenues and expenditures. The purpose of that conservative approach, he said, is to provide a cushion for the unexpected. That is the reason that in years past, the city has ended the year with more money than originally projected, he added, which is designated "unallocated revenue."
If for some reason the city saw a greater than projected deficit in the coming year, it would be able to adjust its spending in the 2005-06 budget year, he said.
"If (it) … started to drop even more, that would be a problem," Pressey said.
Councilman Bob Schiffner has a different take on this year's proposed budget spending. He said that it's not necessary to perfectly balance the budget every year, as long as over the long run the city matches its expenditures to its revenues.
"I don't think any member of the City Council should micromanage the city budget," Schiffner said Monday. "I think we should trust our city staff."
It's important to have a longer-range perspective on city spending, he added.
"I don't think it's necessary to have an exactly balanced budget every year at the expense of services, as long as over the long run we maintain a balance between income and expenditures," he said.
Schiffner said that Magee's suggestion that the city postpone hiring a new senior planner and a new chief engineering inspector is shortsighted, since those positions pay for themselves every time a developer pays permit fees.
"If you cut the cost of those people, you would have to cut the same amount off of the revenue side," Schiffner said.
City Treasurer Pete Weber said Monday that he supports Magee's proposal for halting nonessential spending increases that can be postponed until the revenue picture improves.
Weber said that with the state in a budget crisis that is not expected to disappear in the near future, prudence is the key.
"Like Magee, I don't spend money I don't have, and I would like to see a more conservative budget until we get through these difficult times -- with the squeeze, every nickel counts," Weber said.

Happy 2016!!
Planning has been in the works for several months already for our combined MKCC & IMKEC meeting in April in Kansas City. We are looking forward to a good time of networking together. We hope you can join us. Below is information about the conference and registration process.
Click here to REGISTER NOW!
Dates: April 4-8, 2016—beginning with a banquet on Monday night, April 4, we will wrap things up on Friday, April 8, after lunch. (NOTE: this is one day longer than our normal MKCC schedule)
Speaker: Dan Egeler—President of ACSI Dan will speak each morning for our main session after a time of worship.
Workshops: We have come up with some workshops for Tuesday and Thursday afternoons that we think will be of interest to both Caregivers and Educators. Here are some of the potential titles:
Excursions: The last couple years, we have offered off-campus excursions to some fun and unique places in Kansas City. It has been a great time to interact with others and enjoy an afternoon out. We are including it again this year and will get you more information about the various opportunities. We will work on carpooling to these places, so don't worry if you are flying in and won't have a car. There will be no supper offered at Avant on Wednesday night so that you can go out on your own as you desire. We know various mission groups have used this week as time to get together for your own ministry conversations as well as network with other agencies. We will work out a plan for those who need transportation for supper options.
Because we expect the group to be larger than our normal MKCC crowd (closer to 80-90 is our best guess, though 100 is totally possible!), we have reserved a block of rooms at the Comfort Inn in Kansas City. It is about 15 minutes from the Avant Ministry Center. There is a free shuttle from the airport to the hotel and we will set up a shuttle from the hotel to the Avant Ministry Center each day. The limited number of rooms at the Avant Center will only be available for double occupancy this year and will be registered on a first-come, first-served basis. There is a limited number of people in the area who are willing to host individuals in their homes. They will only be providing a room, so you will need to provide your own transportation to the Avant Ministry Center (some are within walking distance and we will assist with rides as we can). Most of these options will be for one person which will be a good option for those who want single rooms.
So, registration options will be as follows:
Conference Schedule
Monday, April 4 5:30 pm Opening Banquet with Dan Egeler
Daily Schedule 7:30-8:15 am Breakfast
8:45-9:15 am Worship
9:15-10:30 am Main Session
10:30-11:15 am Break
11:15-12:15 pm Plenary Session
12:30-1:15 pm Lunch (conference ends after lunch on Friday)

3:30-4:00 pm Break (Tues & Thurs—Wed: excursions)
4:00-5:00 pm Workshops (Tues & Thurs—Wed: excursions)
5:30-6:15 pm Supper (Tues & Thurs—Wed: excursions)
Tuesday evening: info on ACSI membership & "The Road Home" video
Thursday evening: movie "Inside Out"
Avant Ministry Center
10000 N. Oak Trafficway
Kansas City, MO 64101

Guns are dangerous. Guns can kill people. Guns do kill. That is the case for gun control. It is simple, straightforward, obvious and wrong. Crime is not the main issue; politics are because:-
Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.
That is what a communist said when he had power.
That is what communists are not saying because they want power.
Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.
Mao Tse-Tung told the truth because he could. Being a mass murderer with huge power meant that he could. He also said that:-
Politics is war without bloodshed, while war is politics with bloodshed.
Mao was spot on regarding politicians as well. They want the power to oppress. Lies are their first tool. Oppression is the second. Disarming people makes it much easier for them to take our money, just like ordinary criminals. The politicians are worse. Tax in England is around 80% of a working man's income. The Armed Citizen is safer against both classes of rogue.
Other men have put their views and put them rather better. Read for yourself. Think for yourself. Decide for yourself. If you think I am wrong tell me why but remember that abuse is an admission that you do not really have a case.
European Versus American Murder Rates
Murder rates depend on race, not weapons. Blacks are the most trigger happy, followed by Hispanics.
Guns & Violence
The Libertarian Alliance takes a sympathetic look at honest citizens & their due rights
Gun Control Fails Again
Bad cases make bad law. This is very much a case in point. One crime was used an excuse by power crazed politicians.
Gun control What is the agenda?
Doctor Roberts does not quite say but he is spot on regarding the Sullivan law of 1920. It was made by Tim Sullivan, a career criminal for the benefit of criminals.
Timothy Sullivan
Was a very corrupt politician. His law was made to help criminals rob people in New York
Guns are Dangerous?
Doctors are far more dangerous. Statistics sometimes tell the truth. The real objection to guns is political - because political power grows out of the barrel of a gun. Mao Tse Tung told us the truth because he could afford to. He had an absolute dictatorship.
Gun Control Myths
A good analysis of the pros and cons.
Gun Control – Past, Present, & Future
Someone looked at the evidence as distinct from the propaganda. He mentions the men who like gun control.
Mahatma Gandhi said -Among the many misdeeds of the British rule in India, history will look upon the act of depriving a whole nation of arms as the blackest
No this is not a misquote. Ry Jones gives the full quote and the context.
Is short for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms. It is there in the American Constitution.
What happens after gun control
Politicians disarm people then murder them. Simple, isn't it? Sometimes they just rob them blind. That is how it went in England.
An interesting letter in the Australian Shooter Magazine this week:
"If you consider that there has been an average of 160,000 troops in the Iraq Theater of operations during the past 22 months, and a total of 2112 deaths, that gives a firearm death rate of 60 per 100,000 soldiers.
The firearm death rate in Washington, DC is 80.6 per 100,000 for the same period. That means you are about 25 per cent more likely to be shot and killed in the US capital which has some of the strictest gun control laws in the U.S., than you are in Iraq.
Conclusion: The U.S. should pull out of Washington.
Sounds like a way of living off the land. In practice it is not but that does not slow urban fans of the simple life down.

After Five Years of Pantawid, What Next?
When the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program was designed, the government publicly promised to limit to five years the giving of the education and health grants. This five-year limit is almost over for the first set of beneficiaries by 2013. The natural policy question then is: Would it be wise to keep the promise or would an extension be better? This paper presents five arguments and evidence why the extension of the program is better than keeping the promise to limit it to five years. The five arguments include: (a) the problems that the Pantawid had been designed to address continue to be high priority issues; (b) Pantawid remains credible as an effective and valuable instrument for poverty alleviation in the short run and for reducing the transmission of intergenerational poverty in the long run; (c) the extension could provide great opportunities to produce a much greater positive impact on the welfare of the poor; (d) the extension could buy much-needed time for developing and implementing an adequate and workable transition promotion strategy to help beneficiaries outgrow their need for CCT assistance and, therefore, facilitate its termination; and (e) secondary education enrollment and completion produces high returns in terms of increased earning and is achievable with a moderate amount of subsidy. The paper ends with cautionary notes including articulating that Pantawid remains a bridging program; the need for a careful study to ensure affordability and maximize its cost effectiveness; the need to continue to generate better estimates of key parameters such as income elasticities; and possible phasing for affordability and recognition of possible supply-side constraints.

Nano Tech by Denis Wright.
Nano Tech by Denis Wright. Pub. Makaro Press, 2015.
A novel for high school students that is clearly meant to shock. And it does.
Professot Meinhoff is an American Biologist who invents a virus that is meant to cure diseases that are ethnically selective. He understands that such viruses could also be used for evil as they are capable of being used to wipe races out without touching others. Mankind is littered with evil men who have tried to do this.
Meinhoff creates a virus that works on the melanin in skin pigmentation which if put in the water supply of American cities could wipe out black Afro Americans without touching the white population. Fortunately Meinhoff is a genius and can hold all the formulae and gene structures in his head without putting them to paper or keeping computer files.
A white supremacist gang capture Meinhoff while he is lecturing in New Zealand but things go wrong and a group of intellectually gifted year 13 high school students are kidnapped at the same time along with their vivacious teacher Bernie. The gang is hell bent on getting Meinhoff's secrets out of him by fair means or foul and there are going to be casualties.
Each student has their own quirks and problems but none more so than Joe who speaks very little, has spacey moments and hasn't been right since an accident when he was 10 years old. He narrates the novel and it is his story that is the second part of the shock syndrome of this novel along with the Stockhlom Syndrome effects on the teacher Bernie.
I will let you the reader decide how effective this novel is. Sexual abuse is not an easy topic to discuss in a YA novel.
Killing God by Kevin Brooks
Kevin Brooks is one of the best writers of Realism for Young Adults in the world of children's literature. Killing God lives up to the awesome standard that he has set with his previous books Candy, Being, Martyn Pig and Road of the Dead.
This story is about Dawn who is in a dreadful state psychologically. She is 15 years old but has an inner secret self who is 2 years younger due to a dreadful event that happened to her at that age. The book is about getting that out into the open, and Brooks is a master at doing this.
Dawn lives with her mother who is a sad case. She lies around all day getting drunk and watching television. Dawn is a loner. But the two have a secret that keeps them going, that is related to the disappearance of the father and husband two years earlier.
When two worldly and brazen girls, Mel and Taylor, come into Dawn's life, all that has been hidden comes to the surface in a dramatic way.
This is a riveting tale that maintains suspense throughout and also gives vent to the existence or not of God and the relevance of God in the life of someone who feels they have been forsaken.
The music and lyrics of the band Jesus and Mary Chain are spread throughout the text in a meaningful way.
If you like realism at it's starkest and most thought provoking, then this is the book for you. Definitely Young Adult or Senior Secondary.

Blackwater continues killing Iraqis
Blackwater our war profiteer of the month of June has made war profiteers to be main-stream news more than ever. Mainly because Blackwater personnel killed 11 Iraqis and wounded 14 during what the company said was an attack on a U.S. diplomatic convoy travelling through the Mansour district of Baghdad. Blackwater employees have been involved in at least 195 shooting incidents since 2005. Blackwater so far has fired 122 employees because of alcohol and drug abuse, misusing weapons, violent behaviour and other inappropriate conduct, according to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee report. Mainly, this "inappropriate conduct" involves the death of civilians and the abuse of alcohol and drugs and has led many times to the killing of Iraqi civilians.
In another shooting by a Blackwater employee, that killed a guard of the Iraqi Vice President Adil Abd-al-Mahdi, the report said, that the U.S. Embassy charge d'affaires recommended that Blackwater compensate the victim's family, proposing a $250,000 payment. That amount prompted one State Department official to say that such "crazy sums" might cause Iraqis to "try to get killed so as to set up their family financially." Blackwater eventually paid $15,000 delivered to the guard's family with the help of the State Department, according to a House report. The Blackwater guard was moved out of Iraq on Dec. 26. On Dec. 28, in a letter to the U.S. Embassy, Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki's chief of staff labeled the incident "murder."
George Friedman said in his article "The Geopolitical Foundations of Blackwater" that "Blackwater works for the State Department in a capacity defined as noncombat, protecting diplomats and other high-value personnel from assassination. The Army, bogged down in its own operations, lacks the manpower to perform this obviously valuable work. That means that Blackwater and other contract workers are charged with carrying weapons and moving around the battlefield, which is everywhere. They are heavily armed private soldiers carrying out missions that are combat in all but name -- and they are completely outside of the chain of command". Blackwater has a noncombat campacity contract but they do exactly the opposite as they are involved in large military operations in Iraq not only providing security but in most cases replacing the military in their occupation operations.
Blackwater has a very good relationship with the White House and the Republicans, that in many cases includes the revolving door factor where employees of Blackwater move to work for the State or the other way around. As presented by Jason Rhyne and Nick Juliano in their article "Man Bush chose to lead Pentagon contracting probes left under fire to become Blackwater COO" "the connections include the firm's chief operating officer Joseph Schmitz, who was tapped by President Bush in 2002 to oversee and police the Pentagon's military contracts as the Defense Department's Inspector General" Also Erik Prince, Blackwater's founder, donated around $300,000 to Republican candidates and political action committees. The ties between State and Blackwater are only part of a web of relationships that Blackwater has maintained with the Bush administration and with prominent Republicans. From 2001 to 2007 the firm has increased its annual federal contracts from less than $1 million to more than $1 billion.
All the latest events have provoked an even bigger rejection from the Iraqis about the presence of Blackwater in their country. And the Iraqi government has asked for the removal of Blackwater from Iraq. Janessa Gans who was in Iraq and was protected by Blackwater said in an interview with Democracy Now about the Iraqi government asking for the removal of Blackwater "I actually was surprised that it had taken this long. You know, I used to often think, well, I benefited personally so much from their protection and their security and without which I could have not done my job, but I used to think if there were foreign armed convoys going through my streets every day, delaying traffic, if I got anywhere too close, I would be pelted with water bottles or have guns pointed at me, I would have piped up right away and made a complaint. So I'm just surprised that they waited this long"
Now is the time to keep up the pressure and make sure that Blackwater's contracts are not renew and that they leave Iraq and follow the example of what protesters did on Saturday 20 of October, when protesters re-enacted the Sept. 16 shooting in Iraq. Saturday's demonstration marked the first protest at Blackwater's headquarters since the company was formed. 7 people were arrested.

Prior to Beyonce's "anti-police" Super Bowl 50 Halftime Show performance Sunday night, a Texas newspaper took matters a step further this past weekend.
The San Antonio Observer announced Saturday its plans to publish the names and addresses of every San Antonio police officer after a fatal incident involving one of them.
According to San Antonio Police Department Chief William McManus, on Thursday, undercover officers affiliated with the department were following Antronie Scott, 36, who was wanted for several felony warrants.
Advertisement - story continues below
Upon exiting his vehicle, Scott was reportedly told to show his hands to the officers. He was fatally shot once in the chest after appearing to turn around quickly.
McManus reportedly told the press that the investigation from the department concluded that Scott was not armed during the incident, and was holding a cellphone before he was fatally shot.
TRENDING: Joe Biden Says the Man Who Shot the Texas Church Shooter Shouldn't Have Had an AR-15
The weekly tabloid publicized the department's actions after publisher Stephanie Zarriello spoke to Fox San Antonio about the incident, claiming that Scott had been "unjustly murdered." Zarriello went on to say that Scott had been in "a position of surrender" before he was shot and killed by Officer John Lee.
According to KENS 5, in a press conference with the media, Zarriello said, "Like Ku Klux Klansman with hoods, [officers] do everything they can in order to protect their identities for fear of being brought to justice."
Advertisement - story continues below
"Just as the names and addresses of sex offenders are publicized in order to protect the public from their wicked behavior, we feel that our community has the right to the exact same level of protection," said Zarriello.
In a statement sent to Fox San Antonio, the department said: "The San Antonio Police Department is continuing its investigation of the officer involved shooting. We will continue to provide the public with updates into both the criminal and administrative investigations as information becomes available. We are committed to conducting an unbiased and transparent investigation into this matter."

American Medical and Life Insurance Company Insurance Fraud Chicago, Illinois
I became ill from a food born source and was admitted to the hospital via emergency room visit. I spent 13 days in the hospital, as the bacteria or viral infection attacked my lower GI tract. I became very anemic and low in vitals and almost died. The doctors and hospital saved my life. I am 45 yrs old, non smoker, and marathon runner. I have lived a very healthy and honest life.
American Medical and Life Insurance has done everything to not pay any of my bills. They have told me over and over, that they have not received claims from the hospital or doctors, even though they have all submitted paperwork 4 times. They have refused claims based on treatment not being medically necessary. They refused a claim, stating that my expenses were incurred after coverage was terminated, code 27. When I called to ask why they continue to take the automatic draft from my account, if my coverage was terminated, they said it was a clerical error, but refused to correct the mistake with the 2 doctors that were told I have no insurance. In my opinion, this is fraud.
I am at a complete loss. I cannot believe that after paying for insurance for 12 years, that I am being treated this way. I cannot understand how they get away with treating consumers like this. I am upset that the people who saved my life are waiting to be paid. This may ruin me financially.

I was recently in the Netherlands reporting a story about the economic and political woes the country is currently feeling. Seven long weeks of protracted political negotiations ("That's a long vacation!" as some Dutch comedians put it) to come up with an austerity plan ended when Geert Wilders of the populist, far-right Freedom Party said he couldn't in good conscience make the Dutch people suffer through austerity. That move brought down the government, and until elections are held in September, the country will be run by a caretaker prime minister and cabinet.
With these slightly shocking events, there was flurry of journalistic interest in the Dutch economy. Was it tanking? Is it the next domino to fall? What happens if one of the eurozone's strongest core members falters? Is this the end of the euro?
Journalists all ran around Holland looking for signs that the economic end was nigh for the Dutch. We went to food banks, which indeed have seen an increase in the number of people asking for assistance. We looked for other places, other situations, that would prove dramatic examples of "just how bad it is these days" in the Netherlands.
One place many of us ended up is the Basis Bar in Amsterdam. Why? Well, probably because the Basis Bar has a very particular schtick. You can bring your own food; bring it from home, pop over to the supermarket across the street and get a frozen pizza, or even have a local restaurant deliver your meal to the bar.
"We provide all the necessities that you need for eating here. Plates, cutlery, microwave oven. We even do the dishes for you if you ask us nicely," joked co-owner Jan Schaberg. The assumption, of course, is that the "bring your own" idea is somehow related to worsening economic conditions.
But, you'd be wrong. It was just the idea that the owners had to make the place more like your living room, and less like a traditional bar.
"It had nothing to do with the crisis," Schaberg said. "But," he admitted, "four months in it is proving to be a selling point. If you want to go out to have dinner in a restaurant, you'll go quickly up to $40 or $50 per person. And with us, you pay for your drinks, and if you pay for a pizza at the supermarket, it'll cost you six bucks. So yeah, the financial factor is bigger than we thought it would be."
Still, Schaberg told me, they have no intention of changing the way they advertise the place. I asked him if he thought it was getting tougher for young people to find and keep jobs. He said yes, but cautioned that it's nothing compared to Spain, Greece or Portugal.
"Everyone is still going out, and buying things," Schaberg said.
While at the Basis, I also met up with Denise Dulcic, a young Dutch woman who I had seen profiled in a couple of different media outlets. When I emailed her, she cautioned me that she had been misquoted numerous times, and she insisted on seeing which quotes I was going to use.
Unlike what I had read about Dulcic, she actually hadn't lost her job because of the financial crisis. Instead, two years ago, her contract ended as a child-care worker and she decided to start her own business by focusing on something she loved to do – cook.
But it hasn't been easy for her.
She told me about going to the bank to ask for a loan to help out with the business. "They really had a laugh," she said. "The bank told me, 'All these restaurants and bars, they can't all survive at this moment. So, why you?'"
Dulcic told me that things are difficult now for young people who are trying to break into the job market, or who are trying to be entrepreneurial. I asked her if she thought the upcoming elections in September would change anything.
"No," Dulcic said. "Because you know they talk a lot, promise a lot. And then what happens? Nothing."

It is a tie-up with Asian Business Software Solutions.
Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) can now enjoy greater convenience and efficiency in their payroll processing with the launch of Maybank's tie-up with Asian Business Software Solutions (ABSS).
Maybank said this is its first collaboration in Singapore with an external software company to provide services to SME customers. With the said project, SME customers can use ABSS' MYOB branded payroll software for payroll processing, which supports the bank's Business Internet Banking payroll file format, and can be used by the companies to directly credit the salaries to their employees' bank accounts.
Using the payroll software, SMEs can enjoy a host of advantages such as auto-computation of salary and generation of itemised payslips for each employee. The software can also be updated so SMEs will be kept abreast of policy changes announced from regulatory authorities such as the Central Provident Fund (CPF) and the Income Tax Authority of Singapore (IRAS). SMEs will benefit from greater productivity as they move away from manual computations and paper-based payments to automated payroll systems. Upon registration, customers enjoy free 30 days' introductory technical support to help them to get started.
Choong Wai Hong, head, community financial services, Maybank Singapore said the collaboration shows Maybank's goal of delivering greater value for the SME segment.
"We have observed a growing number of our SME customers carrying out their banking transactions including payroll processing online. The active number of Business Internet Banking customers who log in at least once a month has grown by 35% year-on-year, and the number of SME customers using our online payroll services has tripled over the past year," he said
Choong noted that Maybank has a suite of online services aimed at helping companies with their payroll, collections, payments and trade document submissions.
"Unlike many other industry players, use of Maybank's Business Internet Banking is without any monthly subscription fees and has competitive transaction fees," he added.

A film time capsule of Winnipeg recently surfaced on YouTube, offering a glimpse of a city adapting to the jet age and new-found tourism.
City of Rivers, a 26-minute film produced in 1964 by the Manitoba Department of Industry and Commerce, tours viewers through the city's attractions — architecture, nightlife, dining, entertainment, sports — as well as Manitoba's lake country.
Hosted by former CBC broadcaster Ed McCrea, who delivers the narrative in an old-school radio voice, the film predates Tourism Winnipeg and Travel Manitoba.
The film was made the year the now-demolished Winnipeg airport terminal was opened. McCrea talks about how the modernist structure, torn down in 2012, is referred to as the Taj Mahal of the Prairies.
There are views of long-gone buildings, boulevards and signs, the old duck pond at Assiniboine Park, and bygone fashions. The film also includes clips from a Bombers football game in the old stadium where, to no surprise, the home team is losing.
The past is also evident in the language, with its sexual innuendo, politically incorrect terms, and racist references to Eskimo art at the WAG and an Indian village at the Red River Exhibition.
McCrea died in 1991 and the film was recently rediscovered in storage by his son, Paul McCrea, who transferred it into a digital format. Paul McCrea's son, Andrew McCrea, then uploaded it to YouTube four days ago and it has already racked up 30,000 views.
"I never expected it to take off like that," Paul McCrea said. "It's really neat to be able to see him and hear him again."

Uzbek President Islam Karimov on Wednesday strongly criticised a Russian-backed proposal for closer integration among former Soviet nations, saying history cannot be reversed.
"When they talk about the integration process and create different inter-state organisations to this end, we should always be vigilant of the fact that these organisations could become increasingly political," said Karimov.
"And this negatively affects the member states' relations and partnerships with other foreign countries," he said at a ceremony marking Constitution Day.
The comments were the first by Karimov since Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan last month greed to set up a new Eurasian economic union, which is loosely modelled on the EU.
Karimov called the 1991 collapse of the Soviet Union a logical historical process, remarks that contrast with Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin's description of the event as a "catastrophe".
The Uzbek leader added that his country needed foreign investment to modernise its economy and was ready to build closer ties with any country "no matter which part of the world they are in."
"We do not need someone's permission to to conduct such a policy," said Karimov. "History cannot be reversed."
Resource-rich Uzbekistan has previously distanced itself from other Russian-led initiatives such as the Collective Security Treaty Organisations -- sometimes dubbed a regional rival of NATO -- and the Customs Union.
Washington and the European Union have made recent efforts to re-engage Uzbekistan after ties between Tashkent and the West strained over accusations of rights abuses which the Uzbek government denies.
The US giant automaker General Motors, which produces Chevrolet cars in Uzbekistan, in November opened a new engine factory in Tashkent province.

BOSTON (CBS) – Stephen Cohen, professor emeritus of Russian Studies at Princeton University and New York University, believes that all of the talk about Russia is extremely harmful to the U.S. and undermines our credibility on the global stage. While there are plenty of conspiracy theories and wild accusations being thrown around claiming that the President has been compromised by Russian interests, there has been zero proof offered to support such serious claims. Cohen says we are nearing McCarthyism hysteria, and is concerned over the potential long term effects. Do you agree?

What I liked
I cannot fault the care and treatment I received on Dorrell Ward. Everyone was incredibly friendly and helpful, especially the nurses and the domestic staff. The ward was really clean and everyone used the hand gel at the bedside.
What could be improved
Other patients washing their hands after using the toilet - I know they didn't as they were out of the door before the toilet had finished flushing!

text: I need new tires for Honda Accord. In grad school, when my little Escort needed new tires I went to some national chain and got some affordable tires. Didn't really think about it. Now, I've got a nicer Accord and too much time on my hands this evening, and I'm puzzling over tires. I can get Honda tires from my dealer and regular service location -- I assume they'll be the same Michelin Energy MXV4 as I have now. Survey results at TireRack.com are average. Or I can go to Dunn and get the Yokohama Avid TRZ. They'll be a bit cheaper than through Honda. And TireRack survey gives these top of class marks, though they're a different class from the Michelin, so I don't know if I'm muddling comparisons. What's a guy to do? Do tires really vary much; does it matter much what brand and model I get? Would Honda sell me anything inadequate?

Humaima Malik is one of talented actress of Pakistan who has done good work in Pakistan. She has worked in Pakistani movie 'Bol' by which she got real popularity. Humaima Malik has got offer from Bollywood, that's good as other countries also respect our talent. She accepted, that is also good as every one should go forward to achieve popularity. But if she shows her skin on the name of talent and do extra ordinary bold scenes on the name of scene demand and confidence then it is not so good and the question raise that is Humaima Malik giving right impression of Pakistan?
Is Humaima Malik Giving Right Impression Of Pakistan ?
I don't say that Humaima should wear Abaya while coming on screen, but one should respect the values of nation and country. It looks that our actresses were just waiting to get chance to wear very short dresses and to do vulgar scenes and as they get that chance they forget their values. This was started from Meera when she worked in Bollywood movie and she wore vulgar dresses and did bold photo shoot for Bollywood movie 'Nazar' and got criticized. After that a big scandal and controversy raised because of Veena Malik as she not only did bold photo shoot but also did bold roles in low budget movies of Bollywood and for some vulgarity in Big Boss. After her wedding she has changed a lot even she has showed herself as a good woman, wife and now hopefully will become a good mother.
Now Humaima Malik is following Veena Malik. Even she know that all those Pakistani actresses got criticized and it gives bad mark to their career and fame but then too she did it. She has not only done bold scenes with Imran Hashmi even she is giving interviews and headlines about that as she is not only used to with this but also feeling proud upon all this.
As an Artist of a country if you go some where, you denote your country and culture. Humaima Malik is not giving good impression of Pakistan and Pakistani. Imran Abbas Creature has also released , it was heard that Imran Abbas has denied to do bold scenes and now it is showed. He really did what he said. We have not seen any bold scene of Imran Abbas with Bipasha in Bollywood movie 'Creature'.
If a common person do something then it does not come in media. But If some special person do something with whom country name get attached like PAKISTANI actor or actress then I think that person should be careful about his/her deeds and decisions. What you people think about this ? Share your views with us …!

i mentioned before that i'm using the power sheets this year to keep goals in one space and to focus on what i want to complete in 2017. every month, i fill out what is called a "tending list", a list of monthly, weekly and daily goals. what a wonderful list to check off. i love seeing the progress i made throughout the month. i did not complete everything this month. i don't expect myself to complete everything every month. i'm not striving to be perfect, i'm striving to make progress and that exactly what i'm accomplishing.
one of my favorite parts about the tending list is the part on top where you can write "encouraging words". this month: "every day you wait is a day you won't get back."
- creating and ordering our december 2016 photo book - i simply kept forgetting to do it but it's nothing that i can't complete this month
- visit and join a church - we still have not found a new church in our new city and i'm a little ashamed of it because we need to get back to visiting god's house, especially getting that mind set instilled in our girls as they continue to grow. i have a list of church's i want to check out and i'm hoping to complete this sooner rather than later.
some of the things i only partially completed for the month:
- successfully complete whole30 - i made it through the first week and a half before i stopped in january, but i started again two weeks ago so i'm pushing this goal to complete in february.
- find dentist for all four of us - i found a dentist for the girls (they had their first visit today!) but i still haven't found one for andrew and i. it's a work in progress.
- complete simplicity challenge - there were some things i just didn't get to but i still am going to complete the challenge, just obviously not in january anymore. i really did love it, some days time just didn't allow me to get to the task.
- read four books - i read three and three quarters of one so i feel like i was dang close. i'm already done with that fourth book though and one to my february books.
i think my ambition was a little too high for my weekly goals. i'd rather set the bar higher though and work toward bettering myself. blogging monday through thursday didn't happen every week - in fact it only happened two of the five weeks, but i now know i need to make a better calendar and start prewriting posts so i'm not thinking about it the night before. working out four times a week also only happened two of the five weeks but i had family in town ten of those days this month. i know i did my best with getting to the gym and i'm simply going to try harder this month. knitting a little more on amelia's blanket, yep. that didn't happen at all. honestly i'm not sure if that blanket will ever get done. maybe i should change my mindset for this being my first grand-baby's blanket. ha!
daily goals were actually fun to tick off one by one. as you can see though, i clearly need to lower my goal for water intake. i need to work my way up to 80 ounces apparently.
february is a new month and i'm excited to try new things and complete new tasks!
here's what my tending list looks like this month:
it's a big month of celebrations in our house and i'm excited to push forward! (i almost said start, but seeing as it's the 6th already... :)

Antique wall mirrors make attractive additions to any indoor living space, whether it has traditional decor or an eclectic mix of traditional and contemporary. Combining pleasing, antique form with timeless function, antique mirrors are practical and decorative items, available in a huge range of styles and types. Learning about the options available and what to look for when choosing an antique mirror for your home ensures you get a high-quality model with a long lifespan.
Condition of Antique Wall Mirror Glass
The condition of the glass and the silvering of your antique wall mirror is an important consideration because it impacts the appearance and the practicality of the piece. Antique mirrors often develop a few minor spots and patches of discolouration, or even bubbling, on the silvering, which show from the front of the glass. This can add valuable character to the piece, and is not particularly concerning. However, if the dicolouration and spotting is extensive or impacts the view, you need to decide whether to resilver it. You can get a professional service or resilver yourself. However, the condition of the glass plays a crucial role in the resilvering decision. If the mirror glass has damage, such as scratching or chips, the resilvering process does not cure this problem, and can in fact, make the damage even more obvious. In this case, it is more cost effective to install new, high-quality mirror glass, as this comes with new silvering already in place.
Condition of Antique Wall Mirror Frame
The vast majority of antique mirror frames are wooden, and as they age, the frames can develop issues. Therefore, a thorough inspection is necessary. Look for signs of warping, as this indicates dampened wood, and also puts extra strain on the glass. Check the joins to ensure they are solid and secure. Look for small insect holes which indicate insect infestation from furniture beetles or wood worms. These insects spread rapidly to other wooden furniture and weaken the wood.
Styles of Antique Wall Mirrors
Choose a style or period that suits your tastes. There is an extensive selection of styles to choose from, with something to cater to everyone. Gothic, or medieval gothic, dates from the 12th to the 16th century, and saw a revival during the 19th century, which is known as Victorian gothic. These mirrors usually have orate, dark wood frames, complete with sweeping lines and sharp points. Baroque-style mirrors date from the 17th century and are generally oak or walnut, offering less intricate carvings, but often boasting gilded portions. Rococo wall mirrors date from the early to mid-18th century and feature rectangular shapes with walnut or mahogany construct, overlaid with gold gilt. Victorian wall mirrors from the 19th century feature dark wood, sometimes painted black or white, along with ornate, intricate carvings, and often with gothic form.

During our Christmas vacation, we rented a vehicle, as part of our ritual holiday planning. My husband, who works in the automotive industry, quickly pointed out that our car was supremely inferior to the Ford Motor Company's equivalent, which was unfortunately unavailable. When I asked him about the difference, he simply stated: "Ford's technology is intuitive, simple and way ahead of the game." I realized in that moment that Ford is an example of a company that is willing to embrace change.
Although my enthusiasm for cars will likely never match my husband's, I was nonetheless intrigued by the conversation that ensued as we navigated the highways of California in our "second rate" rental car. My husband's comments about the Ford product got me thinking about the three main challenges that many of my clients are facing in their efforts to stay ahead of the curve: Continue reading "Driving With Husbands In Cars: Business Lessons From The Road To Help You Stay Ahead Of The Curve" →
Why do organizations repeatedly react to rather than plan for change? Why are leaders often stupefied by the glaring realization that their workforces are aging, or that their customers have "suddenly" switched allegiances?
Consider the example of Mike, a manager working in the wholesale grocery business. Mike sought my advice to lead his department through change. He had just received a list of his company's soon-to-be retired employees. Continue reading "Sink Or Swim? How To Anticipate Change" →

Analog voltmeters
As mentioned in the previous paragraph Methods voltmeter, analog voltmeter are rotating device rotating frame Baazafh a resistance in series with the coil (frame) used as a voltmeter. In fact voltmeter using A small frame (coil) placed in a strong magnetic field, measure the voltage. This frame rotates and compresses a small spring frame rotation angle of the initial position proportional flow through the frame (and thus the voltage across voltmeter) is sensitive in terms of voltmeters «ohms per volt» expression. For example, a voltmeter with a sensitivity of 1000 ohms at 1 mA current state can be sensitive to voltage. If the maximum value measurable by a special voltmeter 200 V Bashd.mqavmt voltmeter can be 200, 000 ohms at 1 mA, in which case the frame deviates from its original condition. In most voltmeters Andagyry voltage range can be changed it by changing the internal resistance V m will be possible. Voltmeter is an instrument used to measure potential difference between two points of the circuit used. And to measure the voltage of the AC (AC) and DC (direct) used and pre-installed voltmeter should mode Multimetere according to the type of applied voltage (which is often used on power supply The circuit is defined) then it can be determined. Installation voltmeter in parallel circuit and should be noted that the measurement should be larger range (measuring mode with higher voltage) should be initiated. Not to damage the voltmeter. First direct voltage start DC.V. As you know, this episode has six measurement basis is from 0.25 V to 1000 V DC can not fathom. Here's how it works almost as important is that if we 10V selector on our devices can show up to 10 volts. This classification numbers on the page number is part of three class can see. Left and mA circuit with DC.V specified. If you wish to have a battery or a direct current power supply device test positive wire to the positive power supply and the negative wire to the negative power supply devices connect. If, for example, six-volt battery you should set the selector to the number 10. A few tips: 2) To use a digital multimeter to measure voltage, while observing the above (1 choice and 2Mvazy connect the DC and AC voltmeter) connected to a voltmeter enough oats in place COM and V installed. In case of displacement of the two wire voltmeter only negative number, but in terms of the absolute value of the difference does not worry.
Digital voltmeter
Measuring devices for digital measurement screen genotypes (Display) show usually measured quantity units such as volts, amps, mA, ° C, etc. to the appropriate display. Including measuring devices such as voltmeters, watt meters, Cosφ meter, frequency meter, Dvrshmarha, thermometer and Vvmtr noted Nmvd.

It Vvmtr like scorpions (analog) is, as you know, is the main part of the galvanometer Darsvnval. Digital DC voltmeter on a comparable basis. The voltage applied to the voltmeter, with a reference voltage (typically 100 mV and in some Vvmtrha suffered a volt AC) compared to the result compared to electronic circuits and digital data representing the DC voltage applied to the V meters, will appear on the screen. Today, most of these devices have automatic range (Auto Range) are. Automatic range in this case is that after applying a DC voltage to the voltmeter, the voltmeter automatically selects the first range. If the measured voltage range, some show it. If not in this range of voltage measurement, voltmeter automatically selects a higher range until the measured voltage in the range of the device. The advantage of digital devices Digital measurement devices due to lack of moving parts, very high lifetime (if using them correctly) are and to physical factors such as vibration, humidity, air cleanliness and ... not case sensitive. While with the advancement of technology has made electronic devices today are much more accurate. quantity, it records. Another advantage of a quantity measured by a digital system is that when the value of this quantity is transferred to the computer, the computer can take the necessary decisions on the value of this quantity. For example, if the amount is less than what has already been set, the computer can special order for this issue.
Electrical quantities such as voltage multimeter is a device for viewing multiple current or voltage and amperage or electrical resistance that can assess the health of the parts or characteristics of a piece. There are two types of analog and digital multimeter digital type which are designed for different purposes.

Senator expense claims outstrip annual salary
AS a serving senator, Ivor Callely receives a salary of €65,621.
The most recent figures show that he also claimed €77,773 in Seanad expenses between June 2007 and December 2008.
His register of interests shows he is letting a house at St David's Wood, Artane, Dublin 5. He also declares he is a co-owner and has an investment interest in a property at 59/60 Clontarf Road.
This is the site that Mr Callely, the late Galway-based developer John O'Dolan and two other investors acquired in January 2007 at a cost of €10m.
The co-investors had sought planning permission to demolish the existing houses on the sea front site next to St Anthony's Church in Clontarf and build 44 apartments and three shops on the site.
However, this plan was rejected by An Bord Pleanala in 2008 after being approved by Dublin City Council.
Last December, the project's lead financier Investec Bank -- which had provided €8m in loans -- appointed a receiver to the site.

The Earl of Haddington asked Her Majesty's Government:
Lord Donoughue: The proposal of the European Commission to introduce a total allowable catch (TAC) for sand eels in the North Sea took account of advice provided by the Advisory Committee on Fisheries Management (ACFM) of the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea. ACFM concluded that the sand eel stock appears to be within safe biological limits and that the stock can sustain current fishing mortality. However, it advised that fishing mortality should not be allowed to increase because the consequences of removing a large fraction of the food biomass for predator species are unknown.
The United Kingdom welcomed the introduction of a TAC for North Sea sand eels at the Fisheries Council on 18-19 December 1997. However, the United Kingdom also pressed for the TAC to be set at a lower level and called for continuing analysis of the environmental effect of large scale industrial fishing.
Lord Merlyn-Rees asked Her Majesty's Government:
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Home Office (Lord Williams of Mostyn): My honourable
This follows his announcement on 13 November that the Government intend to introduce legislation seeking to restrict the frequency of on-line lottery draws under the Lotteries and Amusements Act 1976.
The draft Bill restricts the frequency of such draws to one a day on any particular premises in Great Britain.

Spain's Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero will shake up his cabinet Wednesday, naming a new team after securing enough support to pass a cost-slashing budget, the media said.
The government refused to comment on the reports.
In one of the biggest changes, Foreign Minister Miguel Angel Moratinos will be replaced by the health minister, Trinidad Jimenez, according to the online edition of El Pais and radio and television stations.
It would be a dramatic change in fortune for Jimenez, who only two weeks earlier lost a vote to represent her ruling Socialist Party in 2011 regional elections in the Madrid region.
Zapatero's deputy Maria Teresa Fernandez also is out of the cabinet, the media said.
She will reportedly be replaced by the interior minister, Alfredo Perez Rubalcaba, who has led the battle against armed Basque separatists ETA and is often touted as a candidate to succeed Zapatero.
"I cannot confirm anything," a government spokesman said when asked about the reports of a reshuffle.
Jimenez also declined to be drawn when questioned about the reports on public radio.
"I cannot give you any information," she said.
Zapatero has slumped in the opinion polls as he pushed through painful austerity measures and labour market reforms, and advocated deep budget cuts to avoid a Greek-style debt crisis.
The major challenge for him now is passing a budget that pledges to cut spending next year by 7.9 percent to 122 billion euros (170 billion dollars). It is expected to be approved in December.

The world has more organisms than scientists have been able to count and classify. Identification can be tricky because so many organisms are microscopic in size and invisible to the naked eye. Two of the categories that often get confused with one another are bacteria, which are single-celled microbes, and protists, which are eukaryotic organisms that are not plants, fungi, or animals. Let's take a look at what makes each of these organisms unique more than just these simple definitions, and while we're at it, we can also see how they are similar.
What are bacteria? They are some of the oldest known organisms and are classified as prokaryotes. What does that mean? Well, prokaryotes are simple, single-celled organisms that lack organelles. If we look at bacteria, we see a single-celled organism with a flexible cell wall, a semi-permeable cell membrane, single-loop DNA, and enzymes. There are no internal compartments or structures, and no sexual reproduction takes place.
When bacteria multiply, it's usually through the process of asexual reproduction by binary fission. We may see colonies or groups of bacteria form, but each individual bacterium in that group is still a unicellular organism. Bacteria have three primary shapes: cocci (ball-shaped), bacilli (rod-shaped), and spirilla (spiral-shaped). Their differences are generally biochemical in nature, rather than physical. Some bacteria are helpful to humans, while others are harmful.
One type of bacteria you may be unknowingly familiar with is Staphylococcus aureus. These bacteria can cause digestive problems when consumed on contaminated food. The results are generally referred to as food poisoning. They're also the culprit of staph infections, which can be mild, like a pimple, or severe, like meningitis!
Now let's look at the group of organisms known as protists. These are small eukaryotes. A eukaroytic organism can be unicellular or multicellular; most (but not all) protists are actually unicellular. Unlike bacteria, protists have specialized organelles, including a true nucleus confined by a nuclear membrane. This compartmentalization differentiates protists from bacteria. You can think of prokaryotes (bacteria) that have no nucleus or organelles like an empty house, whereas eukaryotes (protists) are like a house full of appliances that have different functions. Both are still houses, one is just more complex than the other.
Additionally, protists are generally larger in size. Some protists ingest food, while others may make their own food. These photosynthetic protists, such as blue-green algae, contain chloroplasts, too. We can further classify protists based on their functions. There are animal-like protists (heterotrophs), fungal-like protists (decomposers), and plant-like protists (photosynthetic).
Animal-like protists are called protozoa. They are small, eat other organisms, and are capable of moving through the use of cilia or flagella. One animal-like protist you may be familiar with is the amoeba, which can be found in freshwater.
Plant-like protists are also known as algae, and most are capable of making their own food through photosynthesis. Volvox is a type of green algae commonly found in freshwater. Fungal-like protists include organisms that get their food by decomposing dead organisms; this group includes slime molds and water molds.
We can sum up the major differences between bacteria and protists here:
Despite these differences, there are also similarities between bacteria and protists. Let's take a look at some of them.
Bacteria and Protists
Who knew there was so much to learn about microscopic organisms! While bacteria and protists have some similarities, they have many differences. The primary difference between them is their cellular organization.
Bacteria are single-celled microbes and are prokaryotes, which means they're single-celled organisms lacking specialized organelles. An example of bacteria is Staphylococcus aureus, which can cause digestive problems when consumed on contaminated food, leading to food poisoning.
In contrast, protists are mostly single-celled eukaryotic organisms that are not plants, fungi, or animals. Eukaryotic means they have a defined nucleus and specialized organelles that carry out cellular functions. Protists can be classified based on their function; there are animal-like protists (heterotrophs), plant-like protists (photosynthetic), and fungal-like protists (decomposers). Though these two groups are very different, they also share some similarities. Both are microscopic in size, can help or harm humans, are capable of movement, and are living organisms.
