Washington » They want immigration reform, and they want it now.
Activists will descend Tuesday on the U.S. Capitol to pressure House Republicans to restart a national debate about visas, border security and paths to citizenship — and participants are far more eclectic than you might think.

Mixed in with the Latino youths and the Catholic priests are people such as Stan Lockhart, a former chairman of the Utah Republican Party, who called reform "a moral issue."
"Our country is a nation of immigrants," he said, "and we need to fix a broken system that is de facto amnesty."
Lockhart is one of about a dozen Utahns participating in the "Americans for Reform fly in" organized by such groups as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and FWD.us, a lobbying effort started by Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, along with Partnership for a New American Economy. In all, about 600 community leaders, many of them conservatives, will press House members to act — at least on incremental immigration reform.
Other Utahns expected to participate include Todd Bingham with the Utah Manufacturers Association, former Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff and Jesus Loya of the Park City Angels, a group trying to make it easier for the children of undocumented immigrants to become citizens.
The very existence of the fly-in shows that immigration reform is faltering in Congress.
The Senate already passed a broad overhaul that would tighten border security, expand access to visas and provide a 13-year path to citizenship for those in the country illegally. The House panned that effort and has instead started work on a series of smaller pieces of legislation. A few of those, including a border-security bill, have cleared committee, but there appears little appetite among Republicans to move forward on the issue anytime soon.
"It's disappointing," said Randy Parker, chief executive officer of the Utah Farm Bureau Federation, who is among those lobbying members of Congress this week. "This is an issue that shouldn't be shrouded in politics. It should be discussed out in the open."
A deal breaker » Many Farm Bureau members rely on foreign labor to herd livestock, milk cows and harvest crops, and they say the inaction in Congress has resulted in fruit rotting in the fields.
"Utah agriculture," Parker said, "really needs a stable policy that allows people to come in on work visas."
There's wide bipartisan support for such a plan. The sticking point in this debate has long been what to do with those already here illegally.
Parker said his members are not in favor of an "amnesty program," but at the same time he called the 13-year path to citizenship in the Senate bill "pretty strenuous."
"Without doing something about it, we have amnesty right now," Parker said. "There is nothing being done. Let's get something done that makes sense, for heaven's sake."
President Barack Obama has signaled a willingness to tackle the issue in chunks, like the House has proposed, as long as a citizenship path is included.
That's a deal breaker for Reps. Jason Chaffetz and Chris Stewart.
Chaffetz, R-Utah, called the Senate plan "amnesty" and something he couldn't support.
"If something includes flat-out direct amnesty, I will vote against it," he said. "And that's a shame, because I'm trying to fix this."
He supports five bills that have passed committee. One reason they haven't come before the full House is a concern by some conservatives that if one passes, it could be used as a vehicle to move the Senate's broader reform.
"It's a legitimate concern and against something the speaker and our Republican leadership need to clarify," said Chaffetz, a member of the House Judiciary Committee that oversees immigration issues.Next Page >

Cape York Peninsula Land Use Strategy
Abrahams, H., Mulvaney, M., Glasco, D., & Bugg, A.
Office of the Co-ordinator General of Queensland
Australian Heritage Commission, March 1995
(Citation : Abrahams, Harry, Mulvaney, M., Glasco, D., and Bugg, A. (1995). 'Areas of Conservation Significance on Cape York Peninsula'. (Cape York Peninsula Land Use Strategy, Office of the Co-ordinator General of Queensland, Brisbane and Australian Heritage Commission, Canberra.)
The Conservation and Natural Heritage Assessment Project has identified areas of natural heritage significance across the Cape York Peninsula Land Use Strategy (CYPLUS) study area. The assessment has either modelled conservation values across the Peninsula, focused on particular themes, or used species specific or point location information. The assessment has particularly focused on extensive conservation values. The first part of the report details the distribution of particular conservation values across the Peninsula, while part two outlines the values of thirty-six places identified as being of natural conservation significance.
The report is also a guide to the 40 Geographic Information System (GIS) layers created during the conservation assessment. The report details all the raw data of the assessment and explains what use was made of this data to assess conservation values. This allows the possibility of re-interpreting results and updating data sets when more information becomes available. It also means that CYPLUS members and the wider public can use the CYPLUS GIS to focus on particular areas of interest such as their pastoral property. The report provides a professional, widely accepted and transparent methodology of natural heritage assessment. It interprets the results in a regional context and in comparison to international and national natural heritage information.
Cape York Peninsula is one of Australia's key conservation areas. Its dune fields and deltaic fan deposits are amongst the best developed in the world, while the biogeographic and evolutionary relationships of the plants and animals to the biota of New Guinea provides important insights into the evolutionary history of Australasia. In a national context, Cape York Peninsula is a key area for wilderness, heathland, rainforest, riparian, and wetland conservation. The Peninsula also contains some of Australia's highest concentrations of rare and threatened species as well as restricted endemics. It is also an important area for species richness, and is particularly rich for invertebrates, freshwater fish, mangroves, seagrass and orchids. The combination and extent of these features of national significance result in much of the study area being of international conservation significance.
Features of conservation value are not restricted or concentrated in a few areas but are generally widespread and occur over most of the Peninsula. For example, the best examples (being the largest and least disturbed patches) of each of the 201 natural vegetation classes that occur on the Peninsula, are not found in a few key areas but are distributed right across the area. Similarly, although rare vegetation classes tend to be clustered in certain areas, a different set of areas are important for different values such as endemic species, or wetland values.
Over 80% of the Peninsula has been identified as having natural conservation significance for at least one natural heritage attribute. The vastness and importance of this area, together with the widespread nature of individual values, necessitates a regional consideration of natural heritage values in land use planning, rather than a focus on a few key areas. Clearly conservation of its heritage values will be a major component of any land use planning or development strategy for the Peninsula, and will need to include both conservation within protected areas as well as land use outside protected areas.
A major reason why the conservation values are so extensive is that, unlike much of Australia, Cape York Peninsula is little fragmented with the large majority of the Peninsula still retaining its natural vegetation structure. About 40% of Cape York Peninsula is of very high wilderness quality, with the Peninsula being one of Australia's few biogeographic regions where the majority of the region is of high or very high wilderness quality. No other large, predominantly natural area in Australia contains the diversity, in such large areas, of major vegetation structural types that are found on Cape York Peninsula.
The Peninsula is unique, at least in Australia, in containing continuous areas of high and very high wilderness quality that encapsulates large areas of open woodland, woodland, tall open forest, closed forest, heaths (both dune field and plateau), riparian vegetation, coastal wetlands and freshwater wetlands.
Cape York Peninsula is also unusual in containing whole river systems of high wilderness quality. The large wilderness areas are important representations of northern Australia's ecological processes and natural systems. The Peninsula contains the largest areas in Australia of heathland, riparian vegetation and tropical rainforest that are of high wilderness quality. In addition the Peninsula has the largest area of high quality wilderness in Eastern Australia and the only large areas of high wilderness quality on the east Australian coastline.
The wetlands of Cape York Peninsula are amongst the largest, richest and most diverse in Australia. Many of the wetlands are also amongst the best examples of their type in Australia, while vast coastal and sub-coastal wetlands of the mid west coast are of national importance to waterbird populations. Fourteen wetlands on Cape York Peninsula are identified as of national significance and a further three wetland areas as of regional significance.
The mangrove and seagrass communities of the CYPLUS study area are floristically amongst the richest in the world, with over thirty mangrove species and twelve seagrass species recorded from individual communities. On the basis of species richness, rare and uncommon species or features, diversity of habitat, the relative lack of disturbance and importance for maintaining fish populations, sixteen mangrove and seagrass areas within the CYPLUS study area have been identified as of conservation significance.
Adjoining islands, within the northern Great Barrier Reef area support some of the largest breeding and/or roosting populations of seabirds in Australia. The northern Great Barrier Reef area, together with Horn Island, is also a habitat of international significance for seven shorebird species and of national significance for a further three.
Cape York Peninsula is amongst the most important areas in Australia for rare and threatened plant species, with 379 species recorded from the area. These include 15 endangered, 49 vulnerable, 213 rare and 102 poorly known species suspected of being at risk. The number of rare species and threatened species identified in the CYPLUS study area is greater than that of any phytogeographical area in Australia (outside the north-east Queensland area of which the CYPLUS area is a part). Only the adjoining Wet Tropical Forests and the large south-west Western Australia biogeographic areas contain comparable numbers of rare species and threatened species.
Vegetation communities that were either rare or uncommon on a regional basis have been identified by considering the relative total area of a community across the Peninsula and/or the number of occurrences of that community across the Peninsula. Nine uncommon and eight rare broad vegetation groups were identified which occupy about 13% of the Peninsula. Sixteen uncommon and ninety-six rare vegetation classes were identified. Areas with a large proportion of uncommon vegetation classes include the mid-Peninsula rainforests, the far north-east of the Peninsula, the Torres Strait Islands, the south-east of the study area, the Starke-Cape Melville- Lakefield area and coastal areas generally.
Eighty-five vertebrate species occurring on Cape York Peninsula are listed as rare or threatened on the schedules of Queensland's Nature Conservation Act (1992) and/or the Commonwealth Endangered Species Protection Act (1992). The greatest concentrations of these species occur in the rainforests and the boulder and cliff habitats of the study area. However, there are many endangered, vulnerable or rare fauna species outside of these habitats. The CYPLUS study area supports major populations of two endangered taxa: the Little Tern (Sterna albifrons sinensis) and the Golden-shouldered Parrot (Psephotus chrysopterygius).
Cape York Peninsula contains major proportions of Australia's rainforest and heathland communities, both of which can be considered as nationally uncommon. Uncommon rainforests are a very rich component of the Australian flora and are consequently of high conservation value. About one fifth of Australian rainforests occur on the Peninsula, while 5.6% of the Peninsula is covered with rainforest and 3.3% by heathland.
There are at least 264 plant species and four plant genera that are only known to occur on Cape York Peninsula. This number of endemic plants places the Peninsula amongst the top biogeographical areas in Australia for richness in restricted endemic plant species. Vegetation classes on the Peninsula that support particularly high numbers of endemic species tend to be rainforest.
There are forty-one vertebrate species that are endemic to Cape York Peninsula. The most important habitats for endemic vertebrates are rainforest and boulder mountains and cliffs.
Many invertebrate species are endemic to Cape York Peninsula. Recorded locations for 258 of these species is provided in the GIS coverages accompanying this report. Areas which contain endemic species only known from two or less records include Mt Webb, McIlwraith Range, Iron Range, the Heathlands, the Bamaga-Somerset area and the permanent insect trap sites in the vicinity of Coen and Batavia Downs.
There are several plant and animal species which only occur on Cape York Peninsula and also in New Guinea. Plants, birds and mammals with this distribution are largely found in the northern half of the Peninsula and reach their greatest diversity in the mid-Peninsula rainforests. The fish and invertebrate community of the Jardine River and the invertebrate community of Lockerbie Scrub also contain a large New Guinean element.
The relationship of the Australian biota to that of New Guinea is best illustrated in Australia in the Jardine, Lockerbie and mid-Peninsula rainforest areas. This concentration in the mid-Peninsula forests is thought to be because the high mountains of this area have acted as a refuge during times of aridity when rainforests on the Peninsula have contracted.
The mid-Peninsula forests together with the wet tropical forests within the CYPLUS study area have also been important for retaining relic Gondwanic (a ancient southern super-continent) species and those rainforest species that invaded Australia from Indo-Malay following the collision of the Australian and Asian plates about 15 million years ago.
The populations of at least 134 plant species on Cape York Peninsula are separated or disjunct from other populations in the Northern Territory and Western Australia, or further south on the east coast. These disjunctions provide insights into past environmental conditions and plant distributions. A large number of the disjunct species occur in vine thickets and riparian forests.
The number of vegetation classes in each ten minute and six minute grid cell on the Peninsula was determined. At the ten minute level a grid cell was considered to be of significance if it contained at least fifteen different vegetation classes. Areas of high vegetation diversity include the Lakefield - Cape Melville - Starke area, the south-east coast, Iron Range, Shelburne Bay, Lockerbie and Virilya.
An analysis of relative vertebrate richness on Cape York Peninsula was provided by McFarland (1993) as part of CYPLUS project NR03. Ten minute grid cells identified as having, or likely to have a high faunal diversity included cells at Somerset, Port Musgrave, Iron Range, Coen - McIlwraith Range, Aurukun, Edward River, the mouth of the Mitchell River, the base of Prince Charlotte Bay, Cooktown and the Wet Tropics area.
At a local scale, riparian vegetation supports a relatively high diversity of vertebrate species, while this vegetation type also provides important corridors across the Peninsula along which many species of fauna move, as well as being a refuge area during times of drought and flooding.
The Wenlock River contains the richest known freshwater fish fauna of any river in Australia, while the diversity of the Olive River is exceptionally high for an Australian river of this size.
Cape York Peninsula contains several areas that are amongst the most diverse in Australia for particular invertebrate groups. These areas include the Iron Range area, the McIlwraith area and the rainforests in the Mt Webb - Hopevale region.
The butterfly fauna of Australia is amongst the best known of the invertebrate groups. Butterflies found on Cape York Peninsula represent a significant component of the Australian butterfly fauna, with almost 60% of the total known Australian species occurring there. Twelve areas that are of particular significance to butterfly species on Cape York Peninsula are identified in this report.
Cape York Peninsula has been an important centre for plant and animal collection since the time of first European exploration. The Somerset - Lockerbie and Endeavour River areas are particularly important collection areas, being the type localities for hundreds of species. Many of the collections were made by scientists whose activities have been significant within the history of Australia (such as Sir Joseph Banks, Alan Cunningham and Sir William Macleay). Thus the type areas, which have changed little since the original collections were made, provide important associations with significant figures in Australian history.
The chenier ridges near Fig Tree Creek contain a high-resolution record of environmental and landform processes over the last 6 000 years and provide important information about past environmental processes and events in northern Australia. The swamps of the Glen Garland area that contain fragments of Pleistocene fauna are the most northerly known of such deposits, and are of importance in comparing past environmental trends across Australia. The dune fields of eastern Cape York Peninsula have very high potential as research sites for studying geomorphological and biological processes.
The dune fields of eastern Cape York Peninsula also provide internationally significant examples of the evolution of sandy landscapes in the humid tropics. The dune fields are exceptional at the global level for the development of relict (dunes formed by past processes) and active variants of parabolic dune forms and associated water bodies. Some of the parabolic dunes are amongst the longest in the world. The gegenwalle (small dunes that run counter to the prevailing winds) ground-patterns developed in the deflation corridors of the Cape Bedford - Cape Flattery dune field are the best developed in the world.
The Mitchell River delta contains one of the best developments of depositional fan features in the world, with lateral migrations of the river channel resulting in complex series of fan like deposits.
There are several other geological and landform features on Cape York Peninsula that are amongst the best examples of their type in Australia. These include:

Talking About Suicide
Decreasing the stigma around the almost 40,000 annual suicides
We were recently shocked by the suicide of a 15-year-old Greenwich High School student after his first day of school.
But the numbers prove this is not an isolated incident. Every 15 minutes, someone dies by suicide in the U.S. And, for every one of the almost 40,000 people who died this year, there are many more who think about, plan, or attempt suicide.
And, it's also the 3rd largest cause of death for adolescents and young adults...claiming almost 5,000 lives of those aged 10-24.
Some think that talking about suicide is taboo...maybe even unhelpful. But our panelists today say that it can help break the stigma surrounding it.

Students' Academic Self Perception
AbstractParticipation rates in higher education differ persistently between some groups in society. Using two British datasets we investigate whether this gap is rooted in students' misperception of their own and other's ability, thereby increasing the expected costs to studying. Among high school pupils, we find that pupils with a more positive view of their academic abilities are more likely to expect to continue to higher education even after controlling for observable measures of ability and students' characteristics. University students are also poor at estimating their own test-performance and over-estimate their predicted test score. However, females, white and working class students have less inflated view of themselves. Self-perception has limited impact on the expected probability of success and expected returns amongst these university students.

Data Updates
Keeping you up to date on the latest data releases.
September 2014
- 03.23.2011
- New Home Sales
- Sales of new single-family homes fell 16.9 percent in February to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 250,000, representing an all-time low since the series began in January 1963. On a year-over-year basis, sales of new single-family homes are down 28.0 percent, falling for the tenth consecutive month. Sales of new single-family homes were down in every region, with sales declining 57.1 percent, 27.5 percent, 6.3 percent and 14.7 percent in the Northeast, Midwest, South and West respectively. The median sales price plummeted 13.9 percent from January to 202,100 and is down 8.9 percent since February 2010. The number of single-family homes for sale at the end of January stood at 183,000, representing a 9.6 months' supply at the current sales pace. While part of February's poor performance could be attributed market distortions resulting from the expiration of the California tax credit in December and poor weather conditions that made home shopping difficult, the majority of February's decline is likely attributed to continued weakness in the housing sector.

I'm going to name my iPhone "The TARDIS", that way whenever someone calls me, I can say, "Hang on. Someone's calling the TARDIS."
Then it will sound like I'm a time traveler with a TARDIS. :D

Photographer Jim Urquhart poses at Temple of Juno at Burning Man. Photo courtesy of Brian Erzen
As I write this I am sitting in my little camping trailer the morning after completing my Burning Man 2012 coverage. I am exhausted, a bit dehydrated, sore, my hair has become matted like dreadlocks from the combination of sweat and fine dust and I reek so horribly of body odor that I can make the sense of shame blush. But I am so aware of myself, I am alive and thriving. This is why I love what I do and the opportunities and experiences that it makes possible.
Okay, maybe not so aware of myself (I just fell asleep with my finger on the tab button after writing that first paragraph).
This was my second year covering the event and I really wanted to let go and participate more in the experience. Last year I was a Playa virgin made worse by also being working media. This year I was no veteran in the dust but I was more tuned in with what was happening around me.
I decided first and foremost I wanted to let myself go deeper into the experience of being a burner. Burning Man is an event that demands your participation. Just entering the gates this year I watched virgin burners being made to roll in the dirt, mounted and humped over their clothes by greeters. The dusty, middle-aged couple will now have that sacred memory to pass on to their loved ones. I myself was made to get out of my vehicle and asked how many times I had been to the burn.

LVNV Funding LLC Facts, Tips and Help
"How You Can Stop Harassment from Bill Collectors from LVNV Funding LLC and Start Fixing Any Bad Credit They May Have Caused to Your Reports"
One important thing to know about most bill collectors is that they work on commission. In other words, they only make money if you pay your debt.
So, naturally getting you to pay is their primary goal, and they are not going to want to discuss any other ways to resolve the situation.
They don't care if the situation is fair or if you really owe the full amount. As one of their tactics of getting people to pay, bill collectors will place collections on your credit report and RUIN your credit score.
Massive Tips For Dealing with Debt Collectors from Lvnv Funding LLC or any other agency:
First of all, you should never discuss your debt with a collection agency on the phone. For your own protection, you need to have everything in writing.
Written communication is the only way to get results with LVNV Funding LLC.
Second, you have to be careful when you write letters to a bill collection agency or to the credit bureaus. Writing too many letters is worse than writing none at all. If you write too many letters, your dispute can be marked as frivolous and they'll never listen to you after that happens.
Third, the best thing to do from day one is to ask for a debt validation. There is a limited time frame during which you can request and receive a debt validation. You do NOT want to miss this window of opportunity if it is applicable to your situation.
Once I had learned all of this, I felt like I had totally destroyed any chance I had to get the debt removed and my credit repaired. I was extremely disappointed and very angry at myself. Of course, I was also very upset and frustrated with LVNV Funding LLC.
The best thing you can do is seek and experience professional help from a reputable source.
Lexington Law is a legitimate, professional service that gets results.
If you're still not convinced, take a look at these statistics From Lexington Law!
Lexington Law removed a staggering 49,031 negative items from LVNV Funding LLC in 2012!!!
Just think what they could do for you if you take the first step and contact them now!
** Numbers provided by Lexington Law, individual results may vary. Consult with a Lexington Law representative today to see what they can do for you.
Remember , you can't fight bill collection companies like LVNV Funding LLC on your own.
Take your problem straight to Lexington Law before the collection companies have a chance to ruin your credit.
Of course the best way to maintain good credit is never to miss a payment.
But no one's perfect, and sometimes you can't control what expenses pop up in your life.

- Temporary additional allocations These may be made available provided that over an agreed timescale, normally not exceeding 3 months, either the subnet itself or an equivalent subnet are returned back to the pool. Example: building move. Provide a new /24 to ease a move and then return either of the /24's (new or old one) back to the pool.
- Linknets4: we will allocate a public /30 (or a /29) for routing firewalls and VPN termination.
- Geographical exigencies. In these cases we would consider providing a linknet-type allocation.

The machine does not turn on (no power) when using batteries, how can I correct this?
1. Remove the back cover and check the installation of the
batteries. The top set of the batteries the "+" POSITIVE ends should points
toward the left, same side as the cutter lever. The bottom set of the
batteries the "+" POSITIVE ends should points toward the right, away from the
cutter lever.
2. If the batteries are inserted correctly, try replacing all
six AAA batteries, NOT just two or three batteries.
If the problem persists, your machine may require service.
The machine has a one year limited exchange warranty. If the
machine is in warranty, call Brother Customer Service at 1-877-Brother

LeBron's physical play makes me so aggravated at his defenders. If people quit trying to play him at his game and froze up for charges they'd get him every time. He plays so fast and reckless which is great for picking up and one fouls.

text: Boathouse, University of British Columbia, Vancouver-Richmond Architect: McFarland Marceau Architects Ltd. The distinctive form of the boathouse was a deliberate step away from the typology typical of boathouses built in the past century. Rather than drawing inspiration from historical precedents, the design was inspired by elements of the sport of rowing. The curved shapes and repeating modules of the building speak to the rowing motion and to the form of the rowing shell, and the building, like the rowing shell, sits lightly on the water leaving little impact on the surrounding environment.

Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry and the Cooperative Institute for Research in the Environmental Sciences, University of Colorado, Boulder, CO 80309, USA
Abstract. Cirrus clouds are composed of ice particles and their formation pathways have been studied extensively in the laboratory. The ability of ammonium sulfate particles to act as nuclei for cirrus clouds has been of particular importance because of their ubiquitous presence in the upper troposphere. The results of past laboratory experiments of homogeneous ice nucleation from ammonium sulfate particles show a wide range of freezing conditions. In the present study, a flow tube apparatus equipped with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy was used to resolve these discrepancies. It was found that when ammonium sulfate particles were preconditioned at 100% relative humidity (RH) prior to experimentation, the particles froze at conditions predicted by the homogeneous ice nucleation model developed by Koop et al. (2000). If the particles were not preconditioned at 100% RH, they froze at warmer temperatures and lower ice saturation ratios than predicted by Koop et al. (2000). In order to determine if a population of effloresced particles affected freezing conditions for particles that were not preconditioned at 100% RH, a series of depositional ice nucleation experiments were carried out on dry ammonium sulfate particles. For freezing temperatures between 215 and 231 K, ice nucleated on the particles at ice saturation ratios (Sice) between 1 and 1.05. These conditions are much lower than predicted by Koop et al. (2000) and explain the differences in freezing conditions among preconditioning methods. In similar experiments, Abbatt et al. (2006) hypothesized that a small fraction of effloresced ammonium sulfate particles induced ice nucleation at Sice values lower than expected. The current study confirms the Abbatt et al. (2006) hypothesis and, to our knowledge, is the first study to directly observe ice nucleating onto freely flowing dry ammonium sulfate particles at Sice values approaching unity.

How to Find us
We're situated underneath Wilkinson and just behind the Sports Direct store (previously Woolworths) in the town centre. The bus station is only a short walk away and there is a car park right beside the club
By Car...
From Cockermouth or Whitehaven, head down Jane Street (alongside the Washington Central Hotel) and go straight over the roundabout onto Oxford Street. Go straight over the traffic lights by the library and continue as far as you can to the end of Station Road. On the one way system, follow the directions for Maryport and, on the mini-roundabout next to Tesco, take the fourth exit. Take the first left (at Allerdale House) and the club & car park are about 200 yards ahead. From Maryport, take the second exit at the roundabout after Dunmail Park and follow the road around, across the new temporary road bridge, to the next roundabout (next to Tesco) and take your first exit. Turn left at the first junction and the club & car park are about 200 yards ahead.
On Foot...
From the bus station on Murray Road, turn left and head straight down, continuing past Barclays bank. Opera Bingo is just on the right, underneath Wilkinsons.

The PERFECT size
I just purchased this back in the purple color. i fell in love with his bag as soon as I picked it up. It is just the right size to tote around my over sized wallet, water bottle, sunglasses and the countless other things that I consider necessary. The multiple pockets allow me to keep various cosmetics from falling out and getting lost in general. The strap is long enough for me to wear the bag as a cross-body, which is the only style I actually like. the embroidery on the front is precious. Great job Haiku! This one's a winner.
Still looks new after 4 years
I bought a City Satchel Haiku bag in 2010 and used it every day for 3 years before replacing it with a new Haiku bag. This is the sturdiest bag I've ever owned. After 3 years it showed absolutely no wear! The designs are cute and this bag is a really nice size. I got compliments all the time - love the embroidered detailing. The City Satchel has great pockets - it had separate pockets for my phone, my work ID/key, iPod, keys, plus large zipper pockets for makeup essentials and other loose items. My wallet and sunglasses went in the middle, so I never had to dig around looking for things. The only reason I replaced this purse is that I was ready for a color change - now I have options :)

A great place to use a jingle these days is in YouTube videos. YouTube and other video sharing networks have become so popular that the line between television and online video is blurring more and more. The sheer amount of online video content available is amazing. 2 billion videos are watched everyday by users around the world. Every minute, 24 hours of new video content is uploaded to YouTube.
With networks such as YouTube playing such a significant role in the way that customers access information, it is important to be aware of how much opportunity this presents to your business.
There are a number of ways that your business can add material to YouTube in order to increase your online presence. Here are just a few:
- Create a video ad: Just as you can create text ads and image ads that run online, you can also create video ads that play automatically when someone visits a certain page. They can also be placed at the beginning of other videos that target audiences relevant to your niche.
- Create a promotional video: This is similar to a video ad, although the purpose of the promotional video is not necessarily to be placed into advertisement spots for money. A promotional video could be an interesting or entertaining video about your business that people are drawn to without you having to pay for.
- Create a tutorial: Tutorials and videos that provide information can be a great way to establish your brand while helping people solve problems at the same time. When you post a video that helps people solve their problems, you are seen as an expert in your field.
These are just some of the ways in which online video can increase your customer base. Whatever approach you take, a unique jingle can really set you apart from the crowd and give you an identity. You are probably already aware of the benefits of a jingle or theme song in traditional television. Jingles are just as effective with online video and should be used to full effect.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I am very impressed with the warcraftpets.com site, I first stumbled upon it trying to search out more info on a few noncombat pets. I have always WANTED to be an avid collector, now with the spac thing not being an issue I will have a huge influx of the old pokemon feeling "gotta get em all"
I have always held that certain of my characters work best with certain pets or vice versa.
I play on a normal server and have some on an RP server, but I tend to name my characters along RP lines, and usually try to even adjust the look via character creation to the style I want the character to have.
My NE rogue has white hair pulled up as much as can me and one of the shortest hairstyles because it is a sensible 'sneaking' hair cut. For my druid I have a sprite darter because that is a pet that is rescued in a very druidic treehugging way. I have mutliple pets for multiple characters including the orphans quest pets, but each toon has a 'main' pet.
For my draenai female casters - kittens all the way white and siamese. For my hunter I want to have a plethora of pets because my hunter is a BM hunter, she should have LOTS of pets, but only normal critters not mechs etc.
My warlock has a mana wyrm because they seemed the most magical (arcane) and the most likely companion for a master of demons (except mini diablo which I don't have)
I want the firefly for my rogue because it seems to me that a class that is all about sneaking and shadows would find something oddly appealing about having a little light in their lives even if it is a creature found in the dark.
I am not sure why but my loxbie shaman (female draenei) was created in mi mind with a spunky attitude, kind of a pre-crazy, pre-house burning Lisa Left Eye Lopez from TLC. Cute and spunky and not someone you want to really piss off.
For some reason she seemed to be the one toon that the Chinese Dragon would be best suited to.
But with the pets becoming non space hogs. . . I have never been more excited about one of the most arguably trivial things in the game.
All in all in a world filled with look alike drones in Galdiator or Tier gear. . . a vanity pet goes a little way about making personal staements about you or your character that can't be made easily in other visually represented ways.

DE SOTO, Kan. (UPI) — A Kansas parks official said a young emu caught while running loose at a public park was the first of his species he had encountered in the state.
Matt Garrett, a field biologist for the Johnson County Park & Recreation District, said the large flightless bird, which is native to Australia, was spotted Wednesday at Kill Creek Park and staff "wrangled and herded" the animal into a building, The Kansas City (Mo.) Star reported Thursday.
"That was pretty interesting," Garrett said.
Garrett said officials were able to get in touch with a nearby landowner believed to be the emu's owner.
Mike Martin, secretary of the Kansas Emu Association, said the bird appeared to be young and likely hatched during the spring.

China's Growth and Its Impact on Resource Demand and The Iron Ore Trade
AbstractThe paper sets out what has been driving Chinese demand for resources and outlines the main features of the growth of Chinese resource consumption. It explains the impact of Chinese growth on the Australian economy and examines the future of Chinese resource demand. It reviews the potential to supply Chinese resource (and in particular, iron ore) demand and looks at some policy questions that confront China, as a major resource-procuring economy seeking resource security through foreign investment, and resource-supplying countries, such as Australia, in the context of the growth of Chinese demand. The paper argues that increased supply capacity in Africa and elsewhere in the world is likely to put downward pressure on iron ore (and potentially other resource) prices as new projects come on stream over the next five years.

I'm being cared for by:
Action for Animals, Inc.
Facts about Rosa
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Black (All)
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
My name is Rosa!
Rosa's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Rosa is a good girl that has had a rough life so far. Her approximate date of birth was in June 2009. She was found abandoned in an apartment with two of her nearly full grown kittens. We don't know for sure how long they had been left there but according to a neighbor that had been feeding them, it had been several months. Her boys were semi-feral and very afraid of people due to lack of socialization. We were able to find them a nice barn home but we want a different life for Rosa. She had been socialized, knowing love and kindness at some point in her life and is a very sweet girl. She deserves to have that loving home again, but this time, as a "forever" home. She is a quiet girl who enjoys being petted and likes to play with the occasional toy. After an adjustment period, she does okay with other cats and would adjust to a cat friendly dog. We feel she would be better with older children. Can you give this girl the home she deserves?
About Action for Animals, Inc.
About Our Rescue Group...Action for Animals, Inc. is an all volunteer, non profit organization that was incorporated in 1980. We assist the stray cats and dogs of Delaware County, Indiana. We provide medical treatment, spaying and neutering, foster care and ultimately, placement in forever homes for these strays. We also micro chip all of our adoptees prior to adoption. We want to help keep all of them safe! We have chosen the stray population to concentrate our efforts because they have no one to help them find a new home--they have been left to fend for themselves and we need to help them.
We are always in need of donations to support our programs. Any monetary donations are completely tax deductible and even just a few dollars helps us a lot! We receive no city, county, state or federal monies to support our programs. In addition to our adoption program, we maintain a feral cat alteration program and a spay/neuter assistance program for anyone who needs help having their own pet altered.

The above slogan is the cornerstone of our beekeeping. First and foremost, our apiary is an act of appreciation for the honeybee. Not only would there be no Boston Honey Company without the triumph of the honeybee, but there are also easier ways to make a living than the often tricky and hard industry of apiculture. Our apiary is worked with care and passion for honeybees and all that they produce. Bees are fantastic creatures that have evolved to be crucial elements of nature and our food supply. The lives and functions of bees are extraordinary, giving us appreciative pause.
So before we can put care into our honey, candles, pollen, and skin care products, we have to put care into our bees. Our reverence and attention is in-line with the best of animal husbandry.
Do not forget that as insects, bees are vital animals. They are not disposable due to number, or unimportant due to size! These attributes make them the powerful force that they are. We do not employ the use of harmful practices or treatments. Our organic methodology, sustainable actions, and intense focus on each individual colony, creates plenty of work; but work which we are glad to undertake.
As a family business and one so innately connected to the land, we are the epitome of 'local'. We take great pride in this fact, and take it very seriously.
The crops our bees pollinate are the fruit and produce of your spring, summer, fall, and winter cellar. The foods of the local farms that you consume are tethered right to us, especially the savory honey we provide. We care about their quality, the quality of your health, and the satisfaction those services bring you.
Our honey is not just from the Boston region, but about it. In our honey, you taste the flowers, crops and landscapes of Massachusetts. These are the areas we all live and thrive in; they deserve respect and appreciation from all of us.
As much as we run a business, we pay homage to the land and everything on it. We support and strive to protect open space and flora in our state. There has been much habitat loss from population and development needs in our state, but we seek to see all new and remaining open space prosper and flourish. Our honey is pure, raw, high quality, and local. We do not deviate from this. We are truly grateful to the honeybee and for all that it gives!

UPDATE: It was unanimous.
Across the board, the Columbia County Commissioners do not want former code enforcement officer Jimmy Vowell back on the job.
"We took the evidence that was there from the hearing and the admitted conduct that took place, and that's what we based our decision on," says Commission Chairman Ron Cross.
In July, Vowell was caught on a surveillance camera entering the home of Erica Masters without her consent. He was fired a week later.Tuesday, Vowell was in front of commissioners, asking for his job back.But commissioners say it was an easy decision to uphold his termination."The fact that it violated county policy, and in a sense violated the property rights of this young lady, was sufficient in our opinion that the termination was justified," says Cross.
Even with the Columbia Co. Civil Service Commission in his corner, Vowell's request was still voted down."The Board of Commission did not see fit to stand by their Civil Service Commission's decision and to overturn it," Vowell said after the meeting.
Masters was in attendance Tuesday night, and was pleased with the commissioners' decision.
But she says the incident continues to haunt her."I'm always looking over my shoulder now," she says. "I still do have problems sleeping. I still do have problems being in public. I never know if somebody is looking at me."
Vowell isn't sure what his next step is, but he says he's going to keep fighting."There's a lot of fight left in me," he says. "I'm not done yet. We'll just have to wait and see."
Vowell's lawyers say they are considering a wrongful termination lawsuit.
UPDATE: Columbia County commissioners have denied a request by Jimmy Vowell to return to work.
The unanimous decision announced around 5:45pm Tuesday.
Original story:
Jimmy Vowell, the embattled former Columbia County code enforcement officer, will go before the Columbia County Board of Commissioners at 5pm.
Vowell as removed from his position in July after he entered a woman's home without her consent.
The meeting is a "grievance hearing" and will determine whether or not Vowell can get his job back, according to County officials.
FOX54 has a crew at the meeting and will update you as soon as we learn more information.

It all started with Crosby suffering a concussion due to repeated headshots. The NHL, which has previously ignored the headshot related injuries most of the time were seriously troubled because Crosby was the face of the NHL and his appearance in the ring meant as much to them as it meant to the fans.
During the time he was concussed, he used his profile to advocate for the removal of headshots completely from the game. Brendan Shanahan further advocated the removal of intentional headshots altogether. All these changes came about because Crosby had taken one to the head, which brings us to the incident in question; the Friday night game against the Ottawa Senators.
Nick Foligno of the Senators had a mix up with Marc Andre Fleury and got tangled up with the Pittsburgh goaltender. This resulted in Nick landing on the Penguins goaltender and invited a couple of cross checks from Crosby, the player on the spot who had the task of protecting his goalie and any other player in his place would have done the same thing. Crosby continued his cross checks even when the play continued along the boards. Foligno responded in similar fashion with a few cross checks of his own. Sidney Crosby did nothing to ease up the situation by elbowing Foligno in the face. Foligno was uninjured but Crosby was called for an elbowing minor.
As a Crosby fan it is extremely hard for me to say this but the player who had been an extremely vocal advocate of mutual respect and fair play in the game, a player who continued to push the NHL to take a step on headshots and a player who took it upon himself the job of eliminating headshots from the competition did something of similar sort hardly a week after his return from concussion.
Even Foligno felt about this in the same manner and expressed his feelings in an interview to TSN after the game. "It's not a big deal, but it is something that he preached all summer about that we should limit that and then he goes and does it, so I was just a little disappointed."
Of course Foligno was disappointed and he had every reason to be so. It makes Crosby look like a hypocrite and even his biggest fans like me are starting to believe it. Fine you can talk all about the heat of the moment but then what is the difference between Ndamukong Suh of the Detroit Lions NFL team and Crosby. There is a fine line between acceptable aggression and unacceptable aggression and Crosby, for me crossed that line. What makes it all the more disappointing is the fact that he preached all about it all summer.
Crosby missed almost 10 months due to a concussion from a head shot and barely a week into the game, he cant stop himself throwing one.
