Progress is killing beautiful Carlsbad valley
I feel as though a close friend is slowly being killed. This beautiful valley at the corner of Palomar Airport Road and El Camino Real has been my friend for many years. In the middle of any chaotic day one could enjoy this canyon and return enlightened within the confines of a lunch break. I am not alone in my love for this valley.
Many people came to run, walk and ride bicycles here. There were some who cared deeply about this secret place. They built little wooden bridges over the water crossings to keep erosion in check. We all stayed on the trails to avoid disturbing the wildlife that lived there. The trail along the babbling creek is almost spiritual in its sudden cool and quietness with oak trees completely overhead and loamy terrain. The challenging hills led to incredible views.
It is rare, I think, to have such a place of beauty so close to where we live and work. Now, the bulldozers, having just finished devouring the racetrack area, are headed in. There will be another business park and the creek will be cemented into a drainage culvert and someone will get richer.
This luscious valley will be missed.
Give the Eckes a break
Yes, the Eckes made a deal with the city and the people in 1994. And they've kept that deal faithfully. But does that mean that they are not allowed to respond to changed business conditions 10 years later ("Encinitas should reject Eckes' attempt to renegotiate 1994 contract," Feb. 4)?
I think it is admirable that the Eckes are willing to voluntarily take this issue back to the people of Encinitas and let us have our say. I think there are few people who have done as much for the city and the county as the Ecke family. I think they have earned our trust and deserve our gratitude.
I do not understand why we think we should continue to make reasonable requests so difficult for those who have done so much good for our community. Give them a break and let the people decide.
Editorial passes judgment prematurely
I think you said it right in the first paragraph of the Feb. 4 editorial: "The Ecke family nurtured the fertile soil that blossomed into the city of Encinitas, first with their flower-growing industry and then with their philanthropy." The Encinitas Town Center and the Encinitas Ranch Golf Course represent two high-quality developments serving the needs of the community.
Equally important, the tax revenues associated with these projects are critical in maintaining the infrastructure and services necessary to manage a city the size of Encinitas.
Why then does your editorial attack a planning process that is still in its early stages? We haven't even had a chance to see an analysis of the project's environmental impacts, nor have the specifics of the development plan yet been finalized. You would do a service to our city and its residents if you waited until you had all the facts before passing judgment.
It is time to make a difference
Leigh Rayner attempts to duck the issue in his Feb. 6 letter. Mr. Rayner is a member of the Vista Unified School District's Bond Oversight Committee, and he is not doing his job. Mr. Rayner has an obligation to ensure that the new high school project results in the two magnet schools specifically mandated by the voters. If he wants to do his duty as a committee member, he will demand that the district launch incubator magnet schools at temporary sites this fall. They are desperately needed to relieve the overcrowding situation.
But he refuses to disclose his position on this issue. To oppose starting the magnets now is to doom them to failure. Does Mr. Rayner want to ensure the failure of the magnets? His silence in this matter is deafening.
Petty little protest was despicable
Eric Parish is just another self-important activist capitalizing on the war in Iraq to show us what a swell and important guy he is. In a truly nauseating Feb. 5 article, he bragged about how he and his cronies assembled a mock cemetery of American war dead on the beach in Oceanside. Contrary to his patronizing statements, this was not done to honor our fallen. It was a shameless exploitation of our brave men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice. It was a despicable way to try to push a political agenda.
Mr. Parish is either too young or too immature to fathom how enraging it is to have this bunch use the deaths of our comrades and loved ones as props in their amateurish and petty little protest display.
If Parish and his ilk were sincere, they would volunteer at VAhospitals. However, I'm sure they couldn't handle that experiencebecause they would have to face real American patriots and heroeswho have made genuine sacrifices for their principles andconvictions.
Rainbow election is about accountability
As a resident of North County inland, I have been following with interest the recent events surrounding the management and old board of Rainbow Municipal Water District. I'm concerned with the impact their actions will have on all of us in this region.
One case in point is a pre-annexation agreement that the board signed many months ago. The intent of this agreement is to construct a sewage treatment plant with open percolation ponds on the banks of the San Luis Rey River. This was done with no public hearings and very little discussion, and in spite of protests from members of the public who happened to attend the meeting where the vote was taken.
Although I do not live within the Rainbow water district, I am a nearby neighbor. I've been watching as their mistakes continue to mount up — mistakes costly in dollars and in public trust.
On March 8, some of you can do more than just watch. If you are in the Rainbow water district, take action.
Elect Russ Hatfield to the board. He'll be the kind of steward, like new board members Jack Griffiths and Larry Sundram, to restore accountability and true public service to your district.

Libraries change lives
Libraries have always been a repository of information and knowledge. Now, more than ever, libraries are crucial to the education, distribution of information and well-being of our society.
The suggestion in a recent North County Times column to close our public libraries is tragic and misinformed. The author suggested closing our libraries and having everyone instead buy a computer to then use the government's hopefully-to-be-provided Internet connection. This assumes that the Internet will not be supplanted by some future technology.
At various times microfiche, eight-track tapes, Beta and VHS videotapes and CD-ROMs have been touted as the last word in technology. Today all of these are considered outmoded, if not obsolete. Books and the printed word have survived for millennia.
Libraries change lives! Libraries educate and teach people of all ages to read and write, learn languages and improve themselves.
Libraries — like freedom itself — should be encouraged, applauded and supported.

Return vocational ed to schools
Laurels to the editor of the North County Times for the Feb. 6 editorial, "Schools must return to vocational education."
Gov. Schwarzenegger's support on rebuilding vocational education schools should make this area the backbone of our comprehensive high school system. All students should have meaningful training to enhance their education. It is not just the non-college-bound student. It is also for the college-bound student to search out a career, to provide for an entry-level skill that would act as the steppingstone to move up the career ladder and to provide basic job training skills and knowledge for further education at higher educational institutions. Even the skills and knowledge in an occupation to work their way through college. What a better way to ensure your future.
Vocational education is not just for the non-college-bound. All students that want to be successful can benefit from vocational education.
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger recognizes the important contribution of vocational instruction to our economy and is working on the solution.
Parents should too.

Legalized abortion related to SS dilemma
Thanks for a letter published Jan. 9 from Mimi Rohwer of San Marcos titled "Are two letter sections necessary?" Now Mimi Rohwer may not agree with all my values and that's all right, but I agree with her that the North County Times needed to be brought to task for biased editing between Faith & Values and oftentimes hateful political tommyrot.
Please let me make the following pragmatic opinion: The present dilemma of the Social Security deficiency is directly related to legalized abortion of approximately 40 million babies in America. Conceding that 5 million may have died at birth or soon after, another 10 million would now be under 18 years of age, hence not a big Social Security support; however, the remaining 25 million would be at prime-producing age right now had they lived.
Even if you don't believe abortion by demand is murder according to the Bible, have you no shame at all? A real choice — rescind Roe v Wade, voluntary partial private investment, and by 2042 or sooner voila, Social Security is safe and sound.
San Marcos
Free Mexico from its leaders
Kim Oakley's Feb. 6 letter about liberating Mexico is right on. The constant economic oppression of their hardworking citizens and the denial to address the real issues of class oppression in that country by their so-called elected officials have left that country in a continual state of poverty.
Mexico's everyday citizens need our help. Many are encouraged to leave their homeland in order to eat and provide for their family. Those who have escaped the poverty to come to the United States truly desire to live as we do in their own homeland, not in the U.S. Women are second-class citizens and many do not have much education. How can the U.S. government stand by and watch the elitist dictatorship continue to drag down and economically hold down their own country?
Instead of Vincente Fox demanding the U.S. to take care of their people, Bush should demand that real reform take place. They must educate, care for the sick, house and encourage business to flourish for the good of Mexico. If Mexico continues in the state of decline as I have watched for the past 30 years, we must go down and help the people take over.

Backward flag was not an insult
I too was confused about the backward flag of our country being sported on the shoulders of the Army. Being the person I am, I asked why and did some research.
It appears that the Army Chief of Staff Gen. Peter Schoomaker approved the flag on Feb. 11, 2004. The only flag authorized for wear on the uniform is the reverse field flag in red, white and blue.
Mr. John Warrington (Letters, Feb. 6) seemed upset by the Army's decision to wear the flag in this manner. I think the Uniform Policy Chief for Army G1, SGM Walter Morales, said it best, "The flag is worn on the right shoulder to give the effect of the flag flying in the breeze as the wearer moves forward, and this will serve as a vivid reminder that our nation is at war."
Being a military veteran I agree with that statement, and I hope Mr. Warrington can now see the light and sleep well. I hope he understands that no one is trying to either insult our sovereignty or diminish our patriotism.
With live or recorded music, dancing is great
I've had the pleasure of dancing to live bands and to recorded music, so which is better? With a live band, you feel the music more than with recorded music. There is a interplay with the musicians and the dancers.
Recorded music with good speakers does well, since fewer breaks are taken by everyone. You can also hear the original recording, adding memories. I have danced to both and enjoy the variety. Both may include live singing, which makes it very romantic. It seems seniors enjoy more live bands, while the younger crowd goes for recorded music done with karaoke singing.
Recently I was invited to the North County Dance Studio in Encinitas, where they played recorded music and I couldn't tell the difference. Either way, it is always delightful to dance in an atmosphere of friendly people seeking fun. P.S. I'm getting closer to finding the right woman.
Green flash at sunset a sight to behold
On Jan. 27 from a Cardiff hillside a vivid green-and-blue flash was seen as the sun appeared to drop just below the surface of the ocean, and two days later there was another one almost as spectacular.
I have seen perhaps two dozen such events over many years. This all goes back to what my high school science teacher told about one Roy G. Biv, whose name helps in remembering the different colors contained within sunlight in the order of decreasing wavelength, i.e., red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet.
As the wavelength decreases, in that order, each color of light undergoes more and more bending in the atmosphere. When the sun is high in the sky all components of light can reach the eye of an observer, and the high wavelengths (Roy) dominate.
However, as the sun just disappears into the ocean this less-bent portion of the spectrum is blocked from view by the Earth's circumference, but for a very brief moment the GB portion with its greater bending can still reach the eye.
In very rare cases indigo and violet flashes can be seen at sunset, when the air is almost entirely free of particles more effective in scattering of low wavelength light.

Future Rooms are a successful garden room manufacturer and installer, the business has grown rapidly over the last 5 years. Our garden rooms are built using quality materials by our experienced carpenters, all of the timber elements we use are from sustainable sources. We are now taking this knowledge into the design and build of camping pods.
The pods have a wide variety of uses, from 'glamping' to extra hotel accommodation or maybe you are thinking of setting up a B&B and have the land, but not the extra rooms in your home? They would also be suitable for outdoor activity centres, youth camps, nature reserves, fishing lodges, retreats or meditation centres – the uses for these multi-purpose pods are endless!
Busy campsites can gain extra revenue from the pods, they open up a whole new customer base and are an all year round option, being cool in the warmer spring and summer months and cosy and wind and waterproof in the unpredictable autumn and winter months. They can be sited on land that wouldn't be suitable for a traditional caravan or tent and are aesthetically pleasing, blending into their surroundings and taking up no more room than the average 4 berth caravan.
All pods are built in our workshops and are delivered to the site as a complete unit. These eco- friendly pods are available in a variety of sizes to suit your needs and with the revenue that they can earn, you'll be amazed how quickly they pay for themselves! The pods are fully insulated as standard, with UPVC doors and window, electrical sockets and lighting, CO2 detectors and non-slip decking. The pods also have a unique selling point of an airflow system through the walls and room. They can be supplied with furniture as an additional extra. Each unit is built to order and can be installed onsite, ready to use within 6 weeks of placing your order.

BLACKTAIL CREEK. Blacktail Creek rises at the breaks of the Llano Estacado in northwestern Briscoe County (at 34°41' N, 101°21' W) and flows north for four miles to its mouth on the Prairie Dog Town Fork of the Red River, near the northern county line (at 34°44' N, 101°20' W). The creek was once part of the Tule division of the JA Ranch, and most of it still lies within the ranch's boundaries. The stream crosses terrain surfaced by silt loams that support mesquite and grasses.

Survivors recall terror in Nairobi mall
Nairobi's Westgate Mall, usually filled with foreigners and affluent Kenyans, echoed to deadly terrorist gunfire
Nairobi's Westgate shopping mall, part Israeli-owned and often crowded with well-to-do Kenyans, expatriates, diplomats and United Nations workers, has long been seen as a soft target for Islamic militants.
The sprawling multi-storey complex, which opened in 2007, is known for its shops carrying trendy foreign brands as well as its friendly cafes and restaurants. Their terraces, however, are adjacent to a road along which cars can pass without security checks.
Entering the mall is normally easy, involving a cursory body check, sometimes with a small metal detector.
Alerts issued intermittently by foreign embassies over the past two years have regularly listed Nairobi's shopping malls as possible targets - but the crowds have not stayed away.
A Western intelligence source said: "It was only a question of time until a mall was targeted."
Kenneth Kerich, who was shopping when the attack happened, described scenes of panic.
"I suddenly heard gunshots and saw everyone running around, so we lay down. I saw two people who were lying down and bleeding, I think they were hit by bullets," he said after he managed to escape the carnage.
Eighteen-year-old survivor, Umar Ahmed said: "I was at Westgate Mall rooftop at the parking, and all of sudden I heard screams and gunshots all over the place," Ahmed recounted.
"I got scared. I tried to run down the stairs and saw someone running towards the top, I ran back and hid behind one of the cars," he said from his hospital bed where he was nursing burns to his hands and chest.
Ahmed said he lay on the ground and played dead as one of the gunmen approached him.
"Thankfully he turned back," he said. "After a while, the police came and we were able to be evacuated."
Mall worker Zipporah Wanjiru, said: "They were shooting indiscriminately, it was like a movie seeing people sprayed with bullets like that."
Waiter Titus Alede said it was a "miracle from God" that he managed to escape the approaching gunmen.
"I was serving a client and these men came. They were not after money, as they were shooting people without asking for anything. I remember them saying, 'You killed our people in Somalia, it is our time to pay you back'," he recounted.
Alede risked his life and leapt from the second storey of the mall and "the death that I saw coming".
"It was a miracle from God," he said of his escape.
Another survivor of the attack, who only gave his name as Jay, said he witnessed the gunmen round up shoppers, ask them questions - possibly to find out if they were Muslims - and then execute them.
"They spoke something that seemed like Arabic or Somali," said the man. "I saw people being executed after being asked to say something."
Another survivor, Cecilia, said she spent a cold, terrifying night hiding underneath a car in the parking area before she was rescued by Kenyan soldiers.
"When we tried to run they started shooting, so I ran to the basement. I stayed in the basement under a car," she said.
"There was a young man with a gun and he was really shooting as we were trying to get out. There were a few people who got injured and even some died, so I went under a vehicle."
She emerged from the mall - shocked, shivering but safe - some 20 hours later.
A spokesman at MP Shah Hospital said shortly after the incident that more than 100 casualties were brought to his facility.
"Our bed capacity is full, we cannot accommodate any other person."
August 7, 1998: A car-bomb attack outside the US embassy in Nairobi kills 213 and wounds about 5,000. Most are passers-by or workers in nearby buildings. Forty-four people including 12 Americans are killed in the embassy itself.
A nearly simultaneous explosion of a booby-trapped tanker truck outside the US embassy in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, kills 11 and wounds 70, all passers-by. Al-Qaeda claims responsibility for both attacks.
November 28, 2002: A car-bomb attack on an Israeli-owned hotel kills 12 Kenyans, three Israelis and three suicide bombers near the port of Mombasa. Almost simultaneously two missiles are aimed at an Israeli plane with 261 passengers on board but they miss. Al-Qaeda later claims responsibility for both attacks.
June 11, 2007: A suicide bomber is the only fatality in an attack in Nairobi that wounds 41.
June 13, 2010: Two blasts during a gathering in Nairobi of Christian evangelists kill six and wound nearly 80.
December 20, 2010: Three die in a grenade attack on a bus in Nairobi. Police suspect al-Shabab.
October 24, 2011: Grenade attacks in Nairobi kill one person and wound more than 30. Investigators suspect al-Shabab.
January 1, 2012: Five die in a grenade attack and shoot-out in a bar in Garissa in the northeast.
March 10, 2012: Nine people die and about 60 are injured in a grenade attack on a Nairobi bus terminal. Al-Shabab deny involvement.
June 24, 2012: Three die and dozens are injured in an attack on a bar in Mombasa.
July 1, 2012: An attack on two churches in Garissa claims 18 lives and wounds 40 near the refugee camp of Dadaab where four foreign aid workers were kidnapped in June and a Kenyan driver was killed. The aid workers are released on July 2.
March 3, 2013: Twelve people including six policemen are killed in attacks against security forces on the Kenyan coast ahead of general elections. The "Mombasa Republican Council" fighting for secession of the mainly Muslim coastal region is suspected.

I really want to thank the Bootham Park Crisis Team. I couldn't have had a better or more considerate treatment had I been royalty. A very sincere thank you for an amazing service and for the follow up session, especially given that it was in the week of the junior doctors' strike. I really felt safe under their care.
My family were also consulted during this time and were struck by the professionalism and modern approach to mental health.
Well done and thank you again.

Have you ever observed awesome pictures that individuals in your family have taken and thought about how they got that great of a picture? Have you ever taken a looked at your photos and been totally unsatisfied? In this article, a professional photographer Terry Shaddock best technique to get started in digital photography. After reading this article, you will be better prepared to jump into the world of digital photography.
Whether you simply need to discover some new information, take better photos of your children, get more interesting photos, or get another leisure activity, you should have a desire to learn. Pictures are surrounding you. If you come up short on things to photo, go out into your backyard. If you begin searching for pictures to take in natural situations, they will appear like enchantment. Always look at things through your photographer's eye. Continuously know about new and interesting things to take pictures of.
Anything that can take a digital picture can be utilized for digital photography, a wireless camera, a $20 scaled down camera from Walmart, a simple point and shoot, or an advanced DSLR. It doesn't make a difference what you use to get the shot, you can get great pictures with anything.
Know how to use most, if not all, of the elements on your camera. Most cameras offer a "full automatic" mode, which is extraordinary for those starting in digital photography. Simply make the shot and take the photo. As you turn out to be more exceptional, you can begin to experiment with alternate different modes on your camera.
There are a plenty of data about photography on the web. Hunt down articles on the basics of photography, for example, presentation, control of thirds, and light. The more you take in, the better at photography you will get to be. Never quit hunting down new data.
You won't show signs of improvement at anything without practice. Bring your camera with you wherever you go, and dependably be prepared to take a photo. While you are out, experiment with new systems or thoughts that you have come up with. Attempt to get the photo that you can picture in your mind already.
The two major projects are Adobe Photoshop and GIMP. These can be greatly convoluted, specialized, and difficult to use, yet once you master the basics you will be exceptionally glad that you set aside the opportunity to learn. For starting photographer, GIMP is flawless on the grounds that it is totally free. It is like Photoshop, however a tiny bit less overwhelming and a great deal less costly. Begin by perusing a couple articles on the best way to use GIMP, then invest energy trying different things with your own particular pictures. There is a fantastic video podcast on the best way to use GIMP called Meet the Gimp.
Join an online group, as Flickr, and post some of your best pictures. Join bunches relating to you and your photographs and present your pictures to them. Join a starting photographer group and ask any questions that you have. Look at other individuals' photos, break down them, attempt to copy them, and after that apply what you have figured out how to your own photography.
These will help you learn new procedures, see proficient work, and so forth. Some great ones incorporate Chase Jarvis Photography, D-Town TV, Photography 101, The Art of Adventure Photography, and The Art of Photography.

Laslandes wants loan move
By Patrick Haond
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Veteran striker Lilian Laslandes is ready to demand Bordeaux release him on loan.Veteran striker Lilian Laslandes is ready to demand Bordeaux release him on loan for the second half of the season.
Laslandes has become frustrated with his plight at Bordeaux this season, with the bulk of his 15 appearances coming as a substitute.
He remains determined to honour his contract with Les Girondins, which runs until 2007, but he is also keen to be playing on a regular basis.
Marseille and Strasbourg have been linked with the 34-year-old already this season, while Ajaccio and Nice are chasing his signature.
The former Sunderland flop would be willing to join Ajaccio or Nice and is hoping for a move when the January transfer window opens.
"The trouble is my contract prolongation," Laslandes told L'Equipe magazine. "If this season I just play 10 minutes from time to time, I will lose the pace of matches.
"And in 2006 I will be 35-years-old, so I need to play.
"If I don't play enough, I will ask my officials to be loaned during the winter transfer window, to play regularly for six months somewhere else.
"So when I come back, I will be at the right level to fulfil my last year of my contract with Bordeaux.
"If I just stay in the changing room and train, I will stop.
"If I am loaned, I am attracted by Ajaccio and Nice. I need to feel emotion, defending a shirt and a town.
"For example, I won't go to Strasbourg even if it is a good club."

A Doodle & Migration
Two more doodle exercises that I did. I really enjoy working on the doodles; they are so relaxing. The first one is just silhouettes of various household appliances. Forgive my typo at the top of the page. I was so focussed on the doodle itself and filling in the letters that I completely lost it on the spelling. The second one is of migration and I would like to do more of these. I kept thinking about MC Escher when I was doing this one. I don't remember how long ago, but I was actually able to attend an exhibit of MC Escher's work at York College in York, Pennsylvania where I lived at the time. He did amazing things with his artwork and lots of it was based on geometry. I would never be able to do the things Mr. Escher did, but my fish made me think about him. If you have time, you should browse through his works. You will be amazed.

In early December, the Korean Central News Agency, North Korea's state wire service, provoked much online merriment when it reported that archaeologists had "reconfirmed" an ancient "unicorn lair" in the heart of Pyongyang. The discovery, "associated with legend about King Tongmyong, proves that Pyongyang was a capital city of Ancient Korea," the article claimed.
The legend in question has it that the king, who founded the powerful Koguryo kingdom in the third century A.D. and was a descendent of the creator of the world, rode a mythical beast. The Koguryo extended through northeastern China toward the Mongolian frontier and down the Korean peninsula south of Seoul; it was one of the most powerful kingdoms in Asia, and its later capital was in Pyongyang.
So was North Korea claiming that unicorns exist, as some mocking accounts put it? Nope. A Korea scholar quickly debunked that interpretation, explaining that "unicorn" was a mistranslation. The mythical beast was actually a kirin, a four-legged creature with the head of a dragon and the body of a tiger. And it turned out that the North Koreans weren't using the fanciful story to prove that the kirin actually existed. Instead, they were reinstating their claim on the king's birthplace, to remind their people and their neighbours that North Korea was once a great nation — and can be so again.
North Korea's relentlessly propagandistic state media often mentions how Tongmyong built a military powerhouse by unifying tribes throughout the peninsula, and has mentioned his 7th century successor, King Yeongyang, who slaughtered tens of thousands of Chinese troops instead of paying tribute to Beijing. North Korea is keen to portray Kim Jong Un as the inheritor of this legacy. In mid-December, KCNA called his successful rocket launch an event "to be specially recorded in the 5,000-year-long history of the nation." A Jan. 8, 2012, propaganda documentary about Kim placed him in the tradition of Korean kings by describing his relationship to Mount Paektu, the mythical birthplace of both the Korean nation and Kim Jong Il. Two days after state media praised Kim Jong Un's horse-riding prowess, KCNA ran an article extolling ancient Koguryo traditions — of horsemanship.
Glorifying past kings is unsurprising in a country where leaders are worshipped like gods. In 1993, then President Kim Il Sung approved the reconstruction of King Tongmyong's tomb complex — a year before he himself was interred in a marble mausoleum in the heart of Pyongyang that cost an estimated $100 million to construct. The country is reportedly expanding former President Kim Jong Il's massive marble tomb so he can lie in state next to his favourite Italian yacht.
But North Korea also commemorates Koguryo to remind its neighbours that the past is just as important a battleground as the present. Apart from Pyongyang, the world's largest concentration of Koguryo tombs lies in that empire's former capital Ji'an, a city that now belongs to China. When Kim Jong Il passed through the area on his armored train in August 2010, he was allowed to stop in a nearby city to sample wine but couldn't stop in Ji'an, where the Chinese have been constructing a new museum to tell their story of the Koguryo — that it was always Chinese, not Korean. In November 2011, after a high-ranking Chinese delegation left Pyongyang, KCNA ran several articles about Chinese cowardice and malfeasance — in the 7th and 11th centuries.
And it's not just China: North Korea's historical beef with Japan goes well back into the 16th century, when samurai plundered the southern half of the Korean peninsula and invaded Pyongyang. The invasion comes up regularly in North Korean children's stories, popular documentaries and historical dramas, where it's portrayed (inaccurately) as a Korean victory despite Japanese savagery. Pyongyang reaches even further back in history for the Dokdos, a group of small islands in the Sea of Japan whose ownership it disputes with Japan and South Korea. In May, KCNA wrote about a "detailed report" put out by Kim Il Sung University proving that the "Koguryo expanded its territory" to a nearby region, putting those islands under its control and thus disproving Japan's claim as "brigandish sophism."
When a delegation of Japanese came to Pyongyang during a brief thaw in October, the North Koreans made sure to film them in front of a huge new mural of Korean naval victories over Japan of the late 1590s, placed in one of Kim Jong Un's signature "theme parks." The subtext was clear: North Korea defeated Japan in the past and could do so again in the future.
In short, North Korea may not be claiming that unicorns exist, but its other forays into history are just as fanciful.

text: Hey all, need to ask a little help. I'm rooted, s-off running stock 2.2 with Launcher Pro... or at least I was. After (another) recent prompt to download and install the latest OTA, I finally pressed "Reboot and Install". This temporarily freed me of the prompts. Then, over the next couple days I began experiencing random reboots. Today, I got another prompt to "Reboot and Install" so I pressed it again. Now every time I reboot my phone (or it reboots itself) all my apps start force-closing (including Launcher Pro, so it defaults back to Sense) I was thinking I should use Doug's How to get back to complete stock from s-off and 2.2 to get S-ON again? Then I could install the update again (or for the first time)? Note: I have a current Nandroid backup made, as well as an Apps backup made in TitaniumBackup. Should I wipe and restore? (which I've never done before :no2 thanks for any help UPDATE: Phone is shutting down CONSTANTLY. I've tried pulling the battery, didn't help.

Young adults today, often called the millennial generation, are more likely to be foreign born and speak a language other than English at home, compared with young adults in 1980, according to the U.S. Census Bureau's latest statistics from the American Community Survey released today.
"Many of the differences between generations examined within these latest data reflect long-term demographic and societal changes," said Jonathan Vespa, a Census Bureau demographer. "Three decades of decennial census statistics combined with the latest American Community Survey statistics give us a unique view of how — and where — our nation is changing. In this case, we can look at the changing characteristics of young adults over the last few decades."
Five years of data collected between 2009 and 2013 provide statistics on more than 40 economic, housing and social topics, such as commuting, educational attainment and home value. As the nation's largest ongoing household survey, the American Community Survey produces statistics at all levels of geography, down to the block group level. Today, for the first time users can access block group level statistics on the census.gov tool rather than via a separate FTP site.
Highlighting some of the topics available from the American Community Survey, the Census Bureau released "Young Adults: Then and Now," a new edition of the interactive mapping tool Census Explorer. The tool illustrates characteristics of the young adult population (age 18-34) across the decades using data from the 1980, 1990 and 2000 Censuses and the 2009-2013 American Community Survey. The American Community Survey, which is a part of the decennial census, replaced the "long form" questionnaire soon after the 2000 Census.
Comparing Generations
The 73 million young adults currently 18 to 34 years old, often referred to as millennials, comprised the largest such population in the last three decades. Nonetheless, their share of the population is actually smaller today than in 1980, when the young adult population included the baby boomers born between1946 and 1964. The baby boom is distinguished by a dramatic increase in birth rates following World War II and comprises one of the largest generations in U.S. history.
In 1980, 30 percent of the population was age 18 to 34, compared with 23 percent today.
The percentage of young adults today who are foreign born has more than doubled since 1980 (15 percent versus 6 percent).
All states have higher proportions of foreign-born young adults than 30 years ago.
The increase was larger in the West and Northeast, where 21 percent and 18 percent, respectively, are now foreign born, compared with 12 percent and 8 percent 30 years ago.
Only 9 percent of young adults in the Midwest and 14 percent in the South are foreign born, up from 3 and 4 percent, respectively, in 1980.
One in four young adults, or 17.9 million, speaks a language other than English at home. That proportion is higher still in New York, New Jersey, Texas, New Mexico and Nevada (where it is about one in three) but is highest in California (where it is about one in two).
More millennials are living in poverty today, and they have lower rates of employment, compared with their counterparts in 1980:
One in five young adults lives in poverty (13.5 million people), up from one in seven (8.4 million people) in 1980.
Today, 65 percent of young adults are employed, down from 69 percent in 1980.
Prior generations of young adults were more likely to have ever served in the armed services: 9 percent were veterans in 1980, compared with 2 percent today.
Millennials are more educated than young adults in 1980:
22 percent have a college degree, up from 16 percent in 1980. States with the largest share of young college graduates are in the Northeast, including Massachusetts, New York and New Jersey.
Unlike in prior generations, the majority of millennials have never been married, reflecting continued delays in getting married:
Only about three in 10 young adults have ever been married, down from six in 10 in 1980.
The state with the highest share of married young adults is Utah (51 percent); the lowest is Rhode Island (25 percent).
Some things have not changed:
Young adults continue to rely on a car to get to work: about eight in 10 drive to work, which is largely unchanged compared with 1980. Alabama has the highest share (95 percent); New York has the lowest (53 percent).

Hey, there is absolutely, positively nothing wrong with this.
In fact, I believe that in the majority of cases, it is a blessing.
First, you didn't lose your job.
You know exactly where it is.
Guess what?
Now you are no longer a slave to it any more.
Second, there are ways to help you supplement your financial input while you adjust to your new lifestyle and decide which direction in life is right for you.
When you lose your job, unemployment benefits can provide temporary financial assistance.
It can help you pay the bills while you look for a new career.
Unemployment insurance is a hybrid program between the federal government and state governments but administered at the state level.
The insurance pools (that's right, this is unemployment INSURANCE) are funded by both employers and employees.
Both employers and employees must pay a percentage of the employee's pay to the state and federal unemployment insurance funds.
The federal rates are set by Congress but the state rates are set at the state level by each state.
You and the company you worked for paid this money into the system while you were employed.
If an employee is fired from a job for cause, generally no unemployment benefits can be drawn.
At times, hearings will be held to determine eligibility when an employer claims a firing was for cause and the employee disputes this.
It is my opinion (remember, everyone has one), that most larger companies will not spend the time to defend uninsurance claims so even if there might be a cloud on how you became unemployed, and you have the time, you might find it helpful to pursue an unemployment insurance claim.
The benefits are not going to sustain your previous lifestyle but every little bit helps right?
In addition to being unemployed from no fault of their own, employees must generally show that they are actively seeking employment.
Most states have created agencies to help individuals drawing unemployment benefits find a new job.
Here's How:
- Find out if you qualify to receive benefits. Individual states determine eligibility. Your State Unemployment Insurance Office can tell you if you qualify and how to apply if you do.
- Gather the documents and the information you need to file your claim. You will need your Social Security number. You will also need a list of past employers, their addresses, and your dates of employment.
- Apply for unemployment benefits through your State Unemployment Insurance Office, which may allow you to apply online, by phone or in person. Apply as soon as possible since it may take a while to receive your first check.
- Register with your state's Employment Services Office. You can receive free services that include help with your resume, job interview help, career counseling, access to local job listings and job training.
- Claim your weekly or bi-weekly benefits. In many states you can do this online or by phone. It is important to follow your state's directions for claiming your weekly benefits so you don't miss payments.
- Appear at your Unemployment Insurance Office when you are requested to do so. Be on time for all appointments.
- Look for a job. To maintain your benefits you must actively look for a job and not turn down any suitable offers. Taking a part-time job may not mean your benefits will end, as long as you don't earn over a certain salary, as determined by individual states. Check with your unemployment insurance office for details.
- Contact your State Unemployment Insurance Office for information specific to applying for unemployment insurance benefits in your state.
- The amount recipients of unemployment insurance benefits receive is based on a percentage of the individual's earnings over a 52-week period. The amount will not exceed a maximum benefit amount that varies by state.
- Benefits can be paid for up to a maximum of 26 weeks in most states, although additional weeks of benefits may be available during periods of high unemployment.

Portland, OR (PressExposure) August 04, 2009 -- Pilot HID has taken their website to a whole new level by adding HID products that most other businesses dream of being able to offer their customers. Pilot HID has done a great job of really expanding on their brand and really opening themselves up to several new markets.
By offering new products like HID Off-Road Lights and HID Flashlights, Pilot HID is really capturing a new audience that would not necessarily be looking to buy HID Conversion Kits for their cars.
"We are no longer just selling HID headlights, we have really grown into a full service HID products company, and will continue to grow the brand and raise the bar for other HID companies." said Matt Ollivier, CEO of Pilot HID.

I bought an android phone because it was the only phone Sprint had that seemed like it would be excessible to me even though I'm visually impaired. They had an LG that came with a screen-reader, but it was only good for basic features on the phone. Android has more potential as an excessible device. As for facts about myself, I'm a bit of an electronics geek. I like to learn about coding and how things work. I also like to study things like animal life. I enjoy artistic persuits as well. Finally, I just plain old love to explore in this wonderful worlk God has given us. I look forward to hanging out here. God bless you all.
