ANN has learned that there was more than turkey for Thanksgiving this year up in Duluth, Minnesota. Cirrus Design, manufacturer of the leading edge SR20 and SR22 four place GA aircraft series, has just posted their best-ever month, in terms of actual orders taken.
While the rest of us were cramming turkey and stuffing into our bods, the folks at Cirrus were on their way to selling a staggering 116 airplanes in one month--an all time record for the company. So much of a record that Cirrus honcho Alan Klapmeier confirmed that this figure was about twice what they had expected in an exclusive interview with ANN.
Klapmeier (below, right, with his brother Dale) took pains to note that the 116 number was quoted on actual orders for new airplanes and were not speculative sales placements. "It was a record number for us... the highest number of sales we've ever had in a given month... It's almost 100% above expectations... it started with a great AOPA show down in Tampa at the beginning of the month and continued strong all month long."
Klapmeier added that there were only 4 uncommitted airplanes sitting out on the ramp in Duluth and but a half-dozen "well-loved" demonstrators for sale -- none of which were included as part of the record November figure.
December is looking good as well, and while they probably won't exceed November's high point, there does seem to be a trend in exceeding the average once again. This is particularly heartening in light of the fact that 2005 got off to a soft start and is now promising to finish aggressively.
"Over all, it's been a pretty good year, " added Klapmeier.
The effect this is having on the company is profound... to the point where planned production increases that were scheduled for the spring are now being pushed up for implementation as soon as the holidays are over.
ANN readers can hear some of Alan's remarks in the Friday edition (12.23.05) of our daily audio Aero-Briefings.

lol, that is great. after reading that, my runup trade bells started going off. its got all the ingredients, major hype, newsletters, "blockbuster" drug, huge retail base, low float... and now a "leak" about how amazing the drug is! i can see the thing running to 12 bucks or more into next year.

When the Waldo Canyon Fire roared over the hill behind the Mountain Shadows neighborhood in Colorado Springs, Colo., in June, nearly 350 homes were destroyed. The blaze reduced this affluent neighborhood at the foot of the mountains to rubble.
C.J. Moore's home on Mirror Lake Court was among the casualties. The inferno was so hot, her stone driveway exploded. Only a few blackened trees sway eerily in the wind where her home used to stand.
It's nearly time to extinguish The Torch, and end NPR's little marathon of Olympic coverage. Before we do, we must note that the games have now become the most-watched television event in U.S. history, with a total of 219.4 viewers over 17 days of coverage.
Those high ratings push the London Games past Beijing 2008, which held the previous record of 215 million viewers. The number seems to include only NBC's TV audience, not mobile or online.

Two years ago, Republican Linda McMahon ran for an open U.S. Senate seat in Connecticut, spent $50 million of her own money in the process, and lost.

Medicare is cracking down on hospital readmissions in a way that is going to hurt the bottom line of facilities in most parts of the nation.
They've been called the first "Social Games" — and the London Summer Olympics have delivered on that promise, making social stars out of athletes like gymnast Gabby Douglas, who saw her Facebook fanbase grow by nearly 4,000 percent during the games.
Gymnasts Marcel Nguyen and Jordyn Wieber were also among the big winners on Facebook, according to a research firm that tracked athletes' fan numbers during the games.

Helen Gurley Brown, the longtime editor of Cosmopolitan magazine, died Monday in New York at age 90.
If Cosmo was her biggest legacy, it was her 1962 best-seller, Sex and the Single Girl, that launched her to fame. She was 40, with a high-paying job in advertising and a recent marriage to Hollywood producer David Brown.
But she was writing for the single girls, not her privileged peers, says Jennifer Scanlon, author of a Brown biography called Bad Girls Go Everywhere.

What are these notes from the U.P.? Wednesday, July 25, 2007 I really don't know yet. I guess they will be just that: brief points or ramblings or observations or whatever from people living in (or who have a connection with) the Upper Peninsula. We have some stuff that would be cool to show on this site, but doesn't fit in the three main sections of neighbors, storytellers and adventures. For instance, events don't really fit in adventures because that section was meant to show things people could do anytime. Also, as you might have noticed, it takes a lot of time to post a new feature. If we go somewhere and want to post our experience on UPliving, we can do it here instead of making a whole feature for it. I plan to invite authors around the U.P. to contribute their notes. The invitation is open to anyone who is interested in sharing their experiences in the U.P. Please contact me. posted by Nathan @ 9:48 PM 0 Comments Links to this post |

A Palm Beach County Sheriff's lieutenant has been charged with misconduct after investigators allege he "fixed" a handful of traffic citations issued to the daughter of a public official in Belle Glade.
The arrest report charges that Lt. Michael Morris attempted to pull the originals out of the system and then void the tickets for lack of the originals - an effort that they say he did at the behest of the girl's mother and one that he then lied to cover up.
Morris could face up to five years in prison if convicted of the felony charge.
The problems date back to a Friday night in early November, when Deputy Samnang Ith pulled over 24-year-old Jamie Evans and gave her five traffic tickets. The nature of the tickets isn't detailed in the arrest report and were not immediately available.
Ith said driver Evans protested, telling him her brother James Evans is a Sheriff's homicide detective. Even before Ith could ask her to sign the tickets, the young woman was on the phone with her brother, complaining that Ith was rude, according to Det. Evans who said he advised his sister to file a formal complaint.
When Ith went to turn in the tickets at the end of the shift, investigators say Ith was told to dismiss them. Investigators say that the message to dismiss came from Lt. Morris via a sergeant on duty.
Ith said the sergeant advised dismissing the tickets because Jamie Evans has filed a complaint about his conduct and alleged that he had used a racial slur in addressing her.
Investigators say the driver's mother, Mary Evans, a 65-year-old woman in charge of public relations for Belle Glade, knows Lt. Morris and called him on his cellphone 30 minutes after the traffic stop.
Morris' arrest report goes on to detail the efforts he went to to pull the originals and then void the tickets for lack of them, and how those efforts were thwarted by a clerk who made her own copies when she became suspicious of the request.
The report also documents several other phone conversations between Morris and Mary Evans, a woman that Ith described as a friend to Morris. Morris said instead that he knew Evans, but they disliked each other.
Morris also told investigators that while he pulled the original citations, he returned them to the clerk's desk and can't account for their loss.

Hope Powell was delighted to see Team GB's history-making women's football team showcase their talents as they opened the Olympics with a win over New Zealand.
Steph Houghton scored the only goal, curling home a superb 65th minute free-kick which, given the nature of this 12-team competition, is almost enough to secure a quarter-final berth.
However, as the very first match GB have played in women's football, and the first event of the entire 2012 Olympics, Powell knows GB have made a statement that can never be erased.
"The girls have made history today," said Powell. "It has been mentioned so much we couldn't ignore it.
"We were the first women's GB team ever and we won. That will never change now. We wanted to enjoy the experience.
"We recognised it was the first event and that it was an opportunity for the girls to showcase their talent.
"I wanted them to embrace it and have a go. As it happens, we did alright."
Powell claimed Houghton was "in shock" as the ball went in, an assessment the 24-year-old did not dispute.
"It is almost impossible to put into words," she said. "I knew I had struck it well and when I picked my head up it was in the back of the net.
"I didn't really know what to do with my celebration. I was trying to head towards the bench but I got tired and tried to slow down because it was so hot.
"It was a really special moment for me, the best of my career without a doubt."

History of Colma |
A California State Law was passed in the late 1800's, State Penal Code 297 stated - prohibited any burials anywhere except an established cemetery such as one by a city or county, church, ethnic group or military. You could no longer bury a body on the homestead or along the wagon trail. San Francisco had many cemeteries established by the time gold was discovered. Hundreds of thousands arrived bringing diseases, followed by deaths and filled their cemeteries to capacity. Cemetery owners started looking for new locations to expand or relocate their burial grounds. They were frustrated in their attempt to buy San Francisco property. Land was too valuable for cemetery use said real estate promoters. The San Francisco City Fathers passed Bill #54 & Ordinance #25 on 3-26-1900 stating that no further burials will be allowed in the City & County of San Francisco. With no further burials, they became a place of neglect and vandalism. They then became a health hazard. Colma became the chosen area for cemeteries. A number of reasons:
After the 1912 Eviction notice.
In August of 1912 the San Francisco's Board of Supervisors declared intent to evict all cemeteries in their jurisdiction. On Jan. 14, 1914 Removal notices were sent to all cemeteries, branding them as " A public nuisance and a menace and detriment to the health and welfare of city dwellers.' Ordinance 2597 There were many delays to this order as the cemeteries and some citizens fought to have it revoked. By Nov. of 1937 the legal battles were over and bodies not removed were now ordered to be removed. Colma Cemeteries now inherited hundreds of thousands of additional bodies. This all led to the incorporation of the cemetery area that became known as Lawndale on August 5, 1924 . The Associated Cemeteries, made up of supervisors from each were concerned that what happened in S.F. could happen again. To protect the cemeteries they became organized and incorporated. They wanted the name Memorial Park but there was already a Memorial Park in our county. We kept Lawndale until the United States Postal Service informed us there was a Lawndale in Southern Calif. We went back to the name of Colma. This was on Nov. 17, 1941. The First officers were:

And the foundation of anti-BD reasoning continues to erode away. Great find.
To summarize: The internet is for porn... and the porn industry is lying about its gross(total..) value. Some say the industry isn't worth half of what it claims-- literally.
They aren't making as much money off of DVD and VHS as they claim.
They aren't making as much money off video-on-demand as they claim.
They aren't making as much money off the internet as they claim.
Downloadable porn and video-on-demand porn is hurting the sale of porn on the disc formats. Even on the internet the porn industries revenues are dropping due to amateur, free, and pirated porn, as they simply cannot compete. Therefore the article questions the impact porn will play in regard to emerging disc formats, such as HD DVD and Blu-Ray. It also calculates that porn accounts for only approx 2% of the DVD market. Add into the mix that Vivid Entertainment is releasing porn for both HD formats.
I've said porn a lot.
That's what I got from it, paraphrased. Sorry if I skipped over anything, or if anything was inaccurate. :P
No disrespect to the non-lazy people that actually read the article.

Besides as Lefein pointed out a few weeks back...
Porn in HD might not be the best thing in the world.
Besides... only weird people... or perhaps kinky married couples... pay for porn.

I believe the video end of the adult entertainment industry is grossly overrated as far as the format war is concerned. Times have changed since the Beta/VHS days... HD discs have nothing on the power of the internet.
You've been chosen as an extra in the movie adaptation of the sequel to your life.
02-11-2007 #8REFLEXGuest
The golden age of porn on tapes, discs and other portalbe media is over. The industy is still huge for that kind of stuff, and the internet is a different story all together. But its not nearly the same as it used to be.
02-11-2007 #9
Yeah I agree totally, I see more in terms of sales then in comparison now (internet is a church of porn needless to say on whether payment is really more of a charity and not necessary). And as many others stated, HD porn really isn't for everyone as it might just show you a side of a male and/or female you may not want to see ie scars, bullet wounds, any minute detail that leaves you in a paralyzed state. In any case, I do see HD porn still be taken as an initiative to sell amongst early adopters of either format but not as influential as movie studies in general. With that said, is HD porn necessary? No. Would you like to see it then go back to whats easily found and free on the internet? I'm pretty sure the answer is yes.
02-11-2007 #10REFLEXGuest
HD porn is funny..... I gotta see one... .a good quality one, just once.. ****! Haha its probably hilarious. Hey, some people like gross scars and stuff haha.

To see HD porn or Not to see HD porn....That Is the Question!
02-12-2007 #13
porn will stay an internet monster while the movie studios will fight this one out but with the blu ray on the rise thanks to the ps3 its only a matter of time before the format is won and porn will not play one part in it. although some high def porn would be pretty cool to look at...

text: Some employers, including at least one important State railway, have collected subscriptions for trade unions. This has usually been done by deducting the union subscription from the workers' pay and handing the accumulated amounts over to the union officials month by month. The result has been to give the unions concerned an income far exceeding that which they would have obtained in the ordinary way. In view of the acute difficulties which most unions experience in raising funds and the benefits that could be secured by many if their finances were more flourishing, we have considered the possibility of recommending to employers a general adoption of this practice. On a detailed examination of the question, however, we consider that the disadvantages distinctly outweigh the advantages. Quite apart from the fact that the practice makes a trade union subscription a first charge upon a man's wages and may lead, with illiterate and ignorant workers, to the commencement or continuance of deductions without their full consent, the procedure is bound to undermine the independence of the union. No employer can surrender his right to discontinue the practice at any time. Its continuance, therefore, is conditional upon the union taking no steps which would lead an employer to reverse his policy, and once the practice had been established of collecting subscriptions in this manner, the employer would be able at any time to dislocate the activities of the union by withdrawing his assistance. Further, the vigour of the trade union officials would be constantly sapped by the knowledge that their income and the means for their activities were dependent on the employers' goodwill.

Some Newark Residents Upset at Vermont Wind Ruling
Some Newark, Vermont officials are upset with a decision by the Vermont Public Service Board that it will not consider the town's ban on wind projects when considering a developer's request to erect test towers to monitor wind speeds in the area.
In another decision last week that upset some town officials, the board refused to dismiss the application to erect the test towers filed by Seneca Mountain Wind.
The Caledonian Record says the town argued the company had not properly notified all parties of its plans, but the hearing officer ruled the application was "substantially complete."
Seneca Mountain wants to erect four test towers. If the wind proves suitable, it hopes to build about 35 turbines in Newark, Brighton, and Ferdinand.
But Newark residents oppose the plan.

Shuttle Enterprise finally docked at Intrepid
Hundreds of New Yorkers cheered yesterday as a 500-ton crane hoisted the Shuttle Enterprise onto the flight deck of its new home, the Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum.
The prototype shuttle, which arrived in the city in late April, is one of only four in existence. But it has faced delay after delay as it traveled from Washington, D.C., to the Hudson River landmark. New Yorkers said they couldn't be more excited to have this piece of space exploration history docked in their backyard.
"It's a once-in-a-lifetime, can't-miss kind of thing," said Gavin Lee, 28, of the Financial District. "The fact that we have this right here, in our own city, it's just amazing. It's something practically nowhere else can claim."
Franklin Alexander, of Canarsie, sang "Lift Jesus Higher" after the aircraft began to rise from its transport barge.
"It's a very historical and beautiful event," Alexander said.
After two weather delays, the Enterprise flew into Kennedy Airport on the back of a 747 jet, arriving from its previous home at the Smithsonian's hangar near Dulles International Airport.
After about a month at JFK, the shuttle began its journey to the museum over the Hudson by barge last weekend, floating past the Statue of Liberty and finally arriving at Pier 85.
The shuttle display is set to open July 19, when the public will be able to walk directly beneath the shuttle. (The inside, however, will remain off-limits.)
Eric Boehm, the Intrepid's curator of aviation and aircraft restoration, said the 75-ton shuttle is a unique addition to the city.
"This is absolutely huge," Boehm said. "This is an icon, it's a national treasure and it's something that will help people actually wrap their head around space exploration.

OTTAWA — Canada's oil and gas industry disagrees with B.C. Premier Christy Clark's plan to rake in extra revenues from future liquefied natural gas plants.
A spokesman for the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers said Wednesday the industry doesn't share the Clark government's view that B.C.'s LNG sector, once it's up and running, will have a significant competitive advantage compared to its assumed top competitor, Australia.
Clark's government revealed this week it plans to collect a new tax from LNG exporters to help ensure the province can cash in on the expected boom.
"That resource belongs to British Columbians, and I am determined to make sure that the people of this province share in the benefits of that resource," Clark said Wednesday, when talking about the need for a new tax on LNG.
The new tax is expected to play an essential role in building Clark's promised Prosperity Fund, which her government announced in Tuesday's throne speech.
Clark has said the fund, which is also financed from natural gas royalties and corporate tax income from the LNG industry, could amass more than $100 billion over 30 years.
Clark would not say how much B.C. plans to tax producers, but said the province can introduce a new tax and still remain more competitive than other major LNG producers such as Australia.
"We are going to be the most competitive jurisdiction in the world when it comes to liquefied natural gas," Clark said.
Previewing what might be coming, Tuesday's throne speech said the Australian government "has an LNG tax and royalty regime that is up to one-third higher than B.C.'s."
Clark said Wednesday she will not be able to discuss any of the proposals that are being considered for the new tax regime until after negotiations are complete.
"We have to make sure that, first of all, we are getting maximum benefit for the people of our province, and at the same time that we aren't imperilling their business case," she said.
"Because if we want to be competitive, we need to do that through the course of negotiations with (industry), so that's what we're working on right now."
Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers spokesman Geoff Morrison said his organization's members "understand the government's desire to look at maximizing benefits for the public."
"But we also caution that it's a competitive industry, and competitiveness on the global scale is tight."
Morrison wouldn't comment directly on whether Clark's position could cause problems for the association, which is pushing the federal government to extend tax breaks to the LNG sector.
Saving up to $2 billion over seven years through changes to Ottawa's tax treatment of Canadian LNG projects would improve the country's competitive position vis-à-vis the U.S. and Australia, according to Morrison.
The association's proposal is for Ottawa to reclassify LNG facilities as manufacturing plants, allowing them to receive a 30-per-cent capital cost allowance when the plants are built. Association officials have said the change would allow producers to write off 90 per cent of their investments in seven years, rather than the 27 years it would under current classifications.
Clark said she does not see a problem introducing a new tax for LNG production, while at the same time asking the federal government to give the industry a break.
"(LNG) will be a value-added product, which isn't something we produce now. Very clearly, in our mind and in the mind of our finance officials, this should be defined as manufacturing," she said.
"On the second front, though, there is no tax on LNG in British Columbia right now because we don't make LNG now," Clark added. "What (Energy Minister) Rich Coleman has been talking about is creating a regime for a new industry that has never existed and that isn't currently taxed."
A spokesman for federal Finance Minister Jim Flaherty didn't give any indication the federal government is prepared to accept the petroleum producers' argument.

Canadians and the world have made the choice to use oil as part of their daily lives and energy diet - in transportation, to heat homes and in myriad consumer products, including shoes, plastics and vitamin capsules.
Close to 800,000 people work in the sector and an equal number are employed nationwide through related jobs in construction, manufacturing, technology, transportation and services.
As the world's sixth-largest producer of energy and its third-largest per capita user, Canadians rely on natural resources to meet lifestyle and economic needs.
Previously, we had to rely on broader statistics about the entire oil and gas industry to understand the economic benefits of pipelines. This new study provides more comprehensive data by honing in on the direct impact of transmission pipelines.
The question of why aren't we refining more of our oil in Canada is often driven by the belief that exporting crude without processing it into finished products foregoes the opportunity to add significant value. The assumption is that the value from manufacturing is greater than that from resource extraction, and that later stages of processing create better terms of trade than resource production.
Energy from the oil sands happens because of the human energy that goes into it. New ideas. People striving to do better. That's Canada's energy at its best.
Where does Canada's energy come from? Canada's energy comes from our many natural resources. But is a product of our ingenuity. Our imagination. Our determination.
Over the next 25 years Canada's oil sands could create over 800,000 new jobs across Canada.
Abundant fresh water is one of our country's most precious resources. That's why over 80% of water used in the oil sands is recycled.
Years ago reclaiming land meant planting trees and grass. Today we create a more bio-diverse landscape including lakes and ponds, trees, shrubs and plants.

Zachary Reyna, a 12-year-old Florida boy stricken with a brain-eating parasite, has died, according to a post Saturday on a Facebook page that's been providing detailed updates from the boy's family.
The post indicated that the LaBelle child died Saturday afternoon.
"The battle is over for Zac but he won the war," the post concluded.
Doctors had given Zachary an experimental drug to treat the rare amoeba, called Naegleria fowleri, that he had. This same drug was used to treat 12-year-old Kali Hardig recently in Arkansas, after which she became only the third person in the last 50 years known to survive the deadly parasite.
Zachary's family told CNN affiliate WBBH-TV that the boy -- who they described as an active seventh-grader -- was kneeboarding with friends in a water-filled ditch by his house on August 3. He slept the entire next day, then his mother took him to a hospital.
There, the boy underwent brain surgery, and doctors diagnosed him with primary amoebic meningoencephalitis, according to WBBH.
After news emerged regarding Zachary's diagnosis, the Florida Department of Health issued a warning to swimmers that high water temperatures and low water levels provide the perfect breeding ground for this rare amoeba.
Between 2001 and 2010, there were only 32 reported cases of people getting Naegleria fowleri in the United States, according to the CDC. Most of the cases have been in the Southeast.
Naegleria fowleri is found in hot springs and warm freshwater, most often in the Southeastern United States. The amoeba enters the body through the nose and travels to the brain. There is no danger of infection from drinking contaminated water, the CDC said.
"This infection is one of the most severe infections that we know of," Dr. Dirk Haselow of the Arkansas Department of Health told CNN affiliate WMC about Kali's case. "Ninety-nine percent of people who get it die."
The first symptoms of primary amoebic meningoencephalitis appear one to seven days after infection, including headache, fever, nausea, vomiting and a stiff neck, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
"Later symptoms include confusion, lack of attention to people and surroundings, loss of balance, seizures and hallucinations," the agency website says. "After the start of symptoms, the disease progresses rapidly and usually causes death within one to 12 days."

Moonrise Kingdom
I didn't like it.
It was way too precious. It was like a fabulously dressed man who is so concerned with quirky mannerisms and witty observances that he displays little actual personality. Characters without cracks in their facade are supremely uninteresting to me. Wes Anderson styled the movie down to the very last eye twitch. Doing so covered over the humanity that was amplified rather than drown out by the style in his earlier films.
The social life of #menswear
If you are posting pictures of yourself on the internet, can you please refrain from telling people to just dress for themselves?
This is not to say that we shouldn't dress for ourselves. Rather, it's to point out that we never just dress for ourselves. There is a massive tradition behind #menswear. Traditions are not the creation of individuals. They are social constructions. It is through our interactions with others that a tradition is created. If aristocrats in Edwardian England had scorned the first men to wear tuxedos, deriding it as a crass compromise, unsuited to their station, it is doubtful others would have taken up the outfit, giving us today's most common formalwear.
One of the rules[1] of #menswear is that you dress appropriately for the setting. Again, an important part of what is appropriate or inappropriate is social. It is about what friends, families, neighbours and colleagues think of the outfit. You don't wear shorts to a funeral. You don't wear balmorals to the beach. You wear formalwear when the invitation says to.
Further, anyone who's posting pics of themselves online comes across as a little disingenuous when they claim to be only dressing for themselves. I won't pretend that I'm not pleased when one of my pics gets a 'like' from Acute Obtuse, or a reblog from This Fits. Part of my community is this online #menswear community and I refused to be ashamed of that. I dress for me, but I also dress for you.
All style is social and that's how it should be. Of course, there is a great deal of leeway to be yourself. But even who you are is social, just as the social is you.
[1] Let's also stop saying, "There are no rules." There aren't formal rules, as for say baseball or accounting, but there are certainly rules.

In this state if you are pregnant and wanting a divorce you have to wait til the baby is born and thats understandable. My divorce took a year because of this reason. So I had plenty of time to reconcile with my ex (oh yeah we tried that but I got pregnant the day before he split for good) and the result was still the same....divorce.

MPS, $102 million and a soccer match
Sometimes, big public policy ideas with long-term consequences are born after years of toil by officials in the public arena.
And sometimes, as in the case of the funding mechanism for the Milwaukee Public Schools building program, they are drawn up in a couple hours on the back of soccer program.
One of the interesting behind-the-scenes details we learned about MPS' neighborhood schools plan was that David Riemer was there at the start. Riemer has developed a national reputation as a big-idea guy while developing welfare-to-work plans, tax policy changes and health insurance reforms. He's worked for former Milwaukee Mayor John Norquist and Gov. Jim Doyle.
So how did he figure in the schools plan?
Turns out Riemer was in on some early meetings on the plan to reduce busing by building up neighborhood schools, an idea that he and Norquist had supported for years.
On a Saturday after state legislators pitched the idea to MPS and city officials, it became clear to Riemer and Jason Helgerson of MPS that the plan was badly underfunded. But they had little time to fix it because legislators wanted to act on legislation the following Monday.
They adjourned to the bleachers of Rufus King High, where Riemer's son was in a soccer game. In the stands they came up with the plan to redirect state busing aid to debt service so -- in theory -- the construction program would be cost neutral to the district.
Once or twice, Riemer recalled, they consulted with Tom McGinity, who was then the deputy superintendent of the district. McGinity was at the same soccer game.
Helgerson recalls the moment as an eye-opener for him, the day he learned from an old policy hand that government can work at light speed at times.
The plan, put into practice by MPS, has failed to boost enrollment at many of the neighborhood schools, as we reported in the "Subtraction by Addition" series this week. Riemer blames MPS for that, while some MPS officials blame the people who dreamed up the plan and imposed it on skeptical MPS officials.

Health Tip: Kids Keeping You From Exercising?
(HealthDay News) -- Kids and family responsibilities can make it tough to find time to exercise, but it's important for your health and to be a good role model.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention lists these tips to keep responsibilities at home from preventing your workouts:
Ask a family member or friend with young children to swap babysitting with you so you can have time to get to the gym.
Find exercise you can do with the kids, such as going for a walk, playing a game of tag or doing a dance/aerobic exercise video together.
Get some simple at-home exercise equipment, such as a stationary bike or a jump rope, to exercise at home when the kids are busy playing or taking naps.
Try to dedicate time to exercising when the kids aren't with you.

3. Chrysler 300
Theft rate: 4.57 per thousand
The Chrysler 300 is a full-size, high-end sedan that debuted at the 2003 New York Auto Show. 31,287 were manufactured in 2009 and 143 were stolen.
"A stylish, boulevard cruiser or a HEMI-equipped tire-smoking performance sedan?" Brauer asked. "You can have both with the Chrysler 300, an attractive full-size sedan that offered a host of engines and was even available with all-wheel drive. The 300 enjoyed huge aftermarket support and its endless customization options surely lured in many an automotive car thief."


text: We all, smokers as well as non-smokers, know smoking. Everyone has his own opinion about it and everyone can also speak about this problem aloud. This is why our team decided to explain our attitude to smoking. We think smoking is too wide spread vice and too little things have been told about danger and harm of smoking. It is obviously that SMOKING KILLS or/and it causes several diseases and health problems, which can lead you to early death. Today smoking is the most common addiction. There are more have been more researches done studying social and psychological problems that lead people to consume tobacco. There are also researches about consequences of smoking and addiction to it. We can divide people into two groups, smokers and non-smokers, already at the age of 15, somewhere even earlier, but usually in secondary school, when youngsters start to think they are old enough and mature. This is why some of us take up smoking. But there are a lot of differences between smokers and non-smokers, especially about health and length of life. There are a lot of diseases known which are consequences of long-time smoking. However, everyone lives his own life, so non-smokers should accept smokers and their bad habit. On the other hand, it has been found out, that passive smoking is even more harmful than active. This leads us to the fact that even the most passionate smoker has no right to endanger non-smoker's health and life. It is well known that every ten seconds a person dies of consequences of smoking. In 1990 more than 3 million people died of smoking, but the number is getting higher every day. If there are not any changes in smoking and use of tobacco, probably 10 million people will die of smoking in 2020. Because of this, many countries have passed several laws that limit or even ban smoking. But some countries, on the contrary, try to gain as much as possible by tobacco. Actually, together by factories producing cigarettes also the government earns money by high taxes on cigarettes. Smokers should themselves be aware of the harm of smoking and also how much money they spend on cigarettes. If you smoke 10 cigarettes per day, you spend about $30 (in Slovenia) in a month and about $400 yearly only on cigarettes. But there are few smokers that smoke only 10 cigarettes a day. Also, if you think this is not so much money, you have to know that you spend it only against your health, which is probably worth more than only $30 per month. If we look at smoking from a very rational side, we can say there is nothing good in it except the joy and maybe habit. On the other hand, there are a lot of disadvantages, especially the diseases and other problems that should a smoker persuade to give up smoking. |

The Governor's Office of Volunteerism (GOV) offers New Jersey's 1.5 million volunteers technical assistance, the latest information about trends and best practices in volunteerism, and provides recognition to individuals and groups that enhance New Jersey's communities through service.
The Governor's Advisory Council on Volunteerism and Community Service supports the work of the GOV, helps to analyze and prioritize community needs, and identifies the resources to meet those needs through volunteerism and service. GAC members build partnerships with the business community, county volunteer centers, voluntary organizations active in disasters, schools and colleges, the public and non-profit sectors, and volunteers of ages and backgrounds.
Major initiatives of the GOV and GAC includes the state volunteerism conference and the annual Governor's Jefferson Awards.
The organizations listed below are deploying urgent relief efforts on the Philippine Islands:
The American Red Cross has launched a family tracing service among other aid operations. If you are unable to reach a family member in the Philippines, you can contact your local chapter of the American Red Cross to initiate a tracing case. Representatives added that it has deployed two people to assist with assessments in the Philippines. It asks those who want to support relief efforts to mail a check to their local American Red Cross chapter, with "Philippines Typhoons and Flood" in the memo line. Go to redcross.org for local chapter information or redcross.org.ph to donate directly to the Philippine Red Cross.
The Philippine Red Cross said it has mobilized teams on the ground to help with rescue and relief operations. Click the link to learn more.
UNICEF is taking donations to help provide children with shelter, clean water, nutrition and vaccines. Representatives said its staff in the Philippines is being repositioned to help in relief efforts and 66 tons of emergency supplies are being sent from Copenhagen. An airlift set to arrive on Tuesday will include water purification systems, storage equipment and sanitation supplies. Donations can be made to UNICEF at unicef.org/support.
World Food Programme (WFP), a United Nations organization, said it will send more than 40 tons of high energy biscuits and work with the Filipino government to help with logistics and emergency communications systems. Representatives said they have allocated $2 million for the disaster response and officials joined an assessment mission to survey damage in Leyte and Samar provinces. It asks for donations at www.wfpusa.org or by texting the word AID to 27722 to instantly donate $10.
The International Rescue Committee (IRC) has launched a $10 million appeal and sent an emergency team to Manila who have already started to work on the ground. For more information, visit www.rescue.org.
Save the Children is also mounting disaster relief efforts to help children and families in the region with emergency assistance.
Catholic Relief Services is accepting donations on its website as it begins moving supplies and staff to respond to the typhoon.
World Vision said it will provide food and water to those in evacuation shelters. Representative said it is putting together resources to assist 1.2 million people, including food, hygiene kits, emergency shelter and protection. It asked for one-time donations to be made at worldvision.org.
Habitat for Humanity plans to offer shelter repair kits for families who need to re-build their damaged houses.
Operation USA said it will allocate donations directly to relief and recovery efforts.
The NJ Department of Corrections is seeking individuals and organizations to embrace the 'Call to Service' to assist us in strengthening our educational initiatives through prison tutoring. This meaningful volunteer opportunity is a satisfying way of giving back to your community and making a difference in someone's life.
The average reading ability of our incarcerated population is only at a 5th grade level. The Office of Educational Services needs tutors to assist with our Adult Basic Education program and our Adult Secondary Education program to help improve the reading skills of our population and prepare them to obtain a high school equivalency diploma.
Whether you decide to volunteer once a week or a couple of days per week, committing yourself to service is a major step. Your time spent as a volunteer will have a significant impact on these individuals and give them a chance to make a better life for themselves.
Volunteerism also brings great benefits to the state of New Jersey including reduction in the recidivism rate by enabling the offender to be better prepared to reenter our communities. We need any help you can offer and look forward to hearing from you.
Do not hesitate to respond to the "Call for Service" for contacting the NJ Department of Corrections - Office of Educational Services at 609- 292-4036, Extension 5324 or 5325.
Lt. Governor Kim Guadagno encourages those who need assistance with cleaning up their homes and property damaged by Hurricane Sandy to contact the 211 assistance system. The information will be entered into the Collaborative Work Order System, which provides the information to volunteer groups that have already helped hundreds of New Jersey families.
This service is a joint initiative of the 211 system and New Jersey's Voluntary Organizations Active in Disasters (NJVOAD).
Please join New Jersey's 1.5 million volunteers who are making a difference in our communities through 170 million hours of service each year. In dollars, their combined service is estimated at $3.5 billion. In terms of meeting the needs of our communities, their value is priceless! Across the Garden State, volunteers mentor and tutor students, prepare and distribute food to the needy, protect and beautify the environment, sustain our arts history and cultural institutions and stand ready to assist during emergencies and disasters.

My lifestyle blog has been a long time in the making. You can't imagine how much I thought about this very moment. Making notes, collecting information, I've thought about it forever! So here it is finally! This month I wanted to begin with my favourite ways to decorate. Simple ways to make any room have meaning and beauty. Timeless and elegant. The art of keeping things simple.
I really don't like the idea of clutter so I always eliminate before I decorate. I buy fewer, but nonetheless beautiful pieces, rather than lots of little things. I always start with books. A home without books is a home without a soul. I don't have a rule what you should buy, but it should be whatever speaks to you and moves you. It could be your favourite painter, artist, architect, photographer or fashion designer. Books inspire us, change us, and make us better. I can't think of any other object that does that. They are my must-have accessory. I have them all over the place.
There is nothing more beautiful than walking into a room to find fresh flowers. They can really transform any space. I'm always drawn to white, pink and fuschia. Right now I'm absolutely obsessed with Magnolia branches….anything that blooms from a branch. If you purchase Magnolia branches in early April they can last well over a month until they bloom in May.
Throws can make any room feel comfortable and cozy. In the winter you can use thick cable knits, and switch to lightweight wools in the summer. A very simple way to add color.
I admit I'm a major candle junkie. My all time favorite brand is Diptyque. They are legendary makers of luxury scented candles, and when I light mine I always feel a little bit of Paris at home. I have one in almost every room. You can create an alluring environment with candles, and they can last forever if you use them wisely. I only burn mine for about 30 minutes – usually before entertaining so the house smells amazing. You can find a big selection here in Toronto at Holt Renfrew on Bloor Street. I also discovered Quintessence, a Paris-based perfumerie from Advice from A Caterpillar. These candles come in various fragrances, but my favourite is Aiguille Rouge. When I finish mine, I recycle the containers and refill them with disposable tea lights. They make for a perfect candlelit dinner.
In my next post I will be meeting with my local farmer and will share one of the easiest, most delicious (my all-time favourite!) no-fail roasted chicken recipe.

When our country was founded, Europe had been through centuries of bloodshed among religious factions. Our Founding Fathers wisely set it up for us to avoid that fate. For over 200 years, our presidents have worked diligently to separate their own personal faith from the workings of the government. Our country was known as a place where people of all religions would be welcome and safe. Each and every person would be free to follow the dictates of their own private faith without pressure from the government.
The Republican candidates, particularly Rick Santorum, and the Tea Party are heading toward very dangerous ground for our country. They would like to abolish the separation of church and state and put in the rules of their faith as law. They are frightened of Sharia Law, but this is exactly what Sharia Law is about. The rules of faith carried out by the government. We are a long, long ways from enacting Muslim laws into our government, but we are not that far from enacting extreme Christian laws – which would be very similar. The Muslim laws are much harder on women, but then again, the right wing Christians are heading in that direction.
How important is religion? There are differences between religion, spirituality, and morals, and some think that if you aren't Christian, you will automatically be immoral. Religion is adhering to a strict set of rules or dogma laid down by some one person in the past based on the teachings in the Bible, Koran, Hindu Scriptures, Torah, or whatever. Spirituality is tuning into a Higher Power through your own spirit, feelings, or being, and doesn't necessarily involve religion at all, although it can. Morals are defined as right conduct, and the distinction between right and wrong. You don't need to be religious to not want to steal, kill, be deceitful, or unethical. Most people are just nice, Christian or not, and do not need the threat of hell to stop them from wanting to hurt other people. However, for the people who would hurt others – poison our water, pollute our air, sell contaminated food, cheat us through banks and insurance – we need laws, not religion.
We should not even be talking about what religion the President adheres to, or what religion Santorum goes by. It is none of our business, and has nothing whatever to do with running the country.

16th Annual National Sleep Awareness Week® Means Daylight Saving Time is Coming
National Sleep Foundation Reminds Everyone to Get A Good Night's Sleep When Clocks Move Forward An Hour
ARLINGTON, VA (March 6th, 2013) – The annual ritual is almost upon us. Daylight Saving Time returns at 2:00 a.m. Sunday, March 10, when people throughout the country move their clocks ahead one hour, and too many of them end up being sleepy for the next few days because of an hour of lost sleep.
But according to the National Sleep Foundation (NSF), changing the clocks shouldn't mean losing an hour of sleep.
"The Sunday that marks the return of Daylight Saving Time is a shorter day. Make it a shorter day with fewer activities, not a shorter morning with less sleep," says David Cloud, CEO of the National Sleep Foundation. The effect of that lost hour of sleep may be felt for several days the following week. In fact, one study shows that many people will sleep an average of 40 minutes less the night after they change their clocks.
The remedy can be a simple one, Cloud says. "Give yourself a treat and sleep in that Sunday morning." If that isn't possible, Cloud suggests taking a short 20-30 minute nap Sunday afternoon, though not close to bed time, which can disrupt nighttime sleep. You can also try to sleep more than usual a few nights prior to and immediately following the time change.
The return to Daylight Saving Time coincides with the final day of National Sleep Awareness Week, NSF's annual campaign to celebrate the health benefits of sleep. This year's 16th annual campaign, March 3-10, is highlighted by the release of NSF's Sleep in America® poll that explores the relationship between exercise and sleep, showing a compelling positive association between the two.
In addition to the tips offered for the arrival of Daylight Saving Time, NSF offers the following advice for a good night's sleep every night:
- Exercise regularly. Vigorous exercise is best, but even light exercise like walking is better than no activity.
- Go to sleep and wake at the same time every day, and avoid spending more time in bed than needed.
- Use bright light to help manage your "body clock." Avoid bright light as bedtime approaches, but expose yourself to sunlight or other bright light as your day begins
- Use your bedroom only for sleep to strengthen the association between your bed and sleep. It may help to remove work materials, computers and televisions from your bedroom.
- Select a relaxing bedtime ritual, like a warm bath or listening to calming music.
- Create an environment that is conducive to sleep that is quiet, dark and cool with a comfortable mattress and pillows.
- If you can't sleep, go into another room and do something relaxing until you feel tired.
- If you are experiencing excessive daytime sleepiness, snoring, or "stop breathing" episodes in your sleep, contact your health care professional for a sleep apnea screening.
The National Sleep Foundation is dedicated to improving sleep health and safety through education, public awareness, and advocacy. It is well-known for its annual Sleep in America® poll. The Foundation is a charitable, educational and scientific not-for-profit organization located in Arlington, VA. Its membership includes researchers and clinicians focused on sleep medicine, professionals in the health, medical and science fields, individuals, patients, families affected by drowsy driving and more than 900 healthcare facilities throughout North America.

Love, Love these lashes! Always get compliments on them. Awesome Ardell!
Thoroughly clean your eyelashes and eyelids so they are make-up and oil free.
Check Fit
Lay lash on top of your natural lash. If it extends beyond your lash line, trim the excess with small scissors.
Apply Adhesive
Squeeze a thin line of LashGrip Adhesive along the lash band. A toothpick can be used to spread it evenly. Wait about 30 seconds for adhesive to set.
Apply Lash
Place the lash as close to your natural lash line as possible. Use your fingertip to gently press along the band to secure in place.

I had forgotten that little exploit. Interesting how a little exploit, in which the attacker edits a text file, can serve as the precursor to a massive attack. This would be difficult if not impossible on a non-Windows box since the hosts file is usually marked "read only". Think about what happens when you go to, for example, https://onlinebanking.cbc.com.au/login and it all looks good. The digital cert works, there may be a minor glitch with cert processing (of course you just click "Okay"), the "lock" appears in your browser and you are in. You are looking at a bogus Commonwealth bank website that knows your account balances, and can proxy any requests for live information to the real CBC online banking site. In no time at all, they have your login info, your account details, and worst of all, they own your account. Without really even owning your machine. One very important word of advice the banks should be offering: is this. If you see *any* irregularities concerning the digital certificate authentication process while logging on to your bank account, i.e. a dialogue pops up regarding cert credentials, IP address, date, etc.etc., simply close down your browser, shutdown your computer and contact a technical expert. There is something very wrong somewhere in your system and you best not proceed with any online transactions until the problem is identified and eradicated. That is about the only thing and inexperienced Internaut can do. Otherwise, they *will* get stung somewhere along the way, imnsho. Similar to driving a vehicle with failing brakes, I suppose. sighs, rickw -- _________________________________ Rick Welykochy || Praxis Services Security wins over ease of use every time. -- rick welykochy

Jesse Jackson: Voter Suppression 'Shameless Thievery'
Category: Breaking News Published on Thursday, 27 September 2012 09:00 Written by Huffington Post
Rev. Jesse Jackson joined HuffPost Live Wednesday morning for a conversation about the presidential election, President Obama's speech at the UN and the Middle East.
Jackson knocked Romney, saying he is "running in [Obama's] tracks but his shoes are much smaller than the tracks are." He also praised Obama's
"When President Barack came in, we were in a real collapse," he said. "Now all the arrows are pointing upward. They're not as high as you want them to be. That's because the hole was so deep."
But Jackson worried that despite polling data showing President Obama is pulling ahead in key swing states, voter suppression efforts would prevent an easy Obama victory.
"You could win the debates and lose the elections based on the level of shameless thievery," he said. "A million point one [votes] purged in Ohio. A million votes purged in Pennsylvania. 500,000 purged in Florida. The attempt to determine the outcome by purging voters and by voter suppression. All lawsuits have shown patterns in the attempts to suppress the votes of seniors, and blacks, and browns, and young people. So the attempt to undermine our voting outcome by this thievery is a source of shame."
