Physics is… Phun?!
While starting a blog with the word "physics" in the title may seem like instant blog suicide, I'm going to chance it for now. It only seems fitting, in my first post, to give a brief history as to why I chose to study physics.
I fell in love with physics in the eleventh grade. My teacher, Mrs. Emmetts, was in her mid-fifties. She had red hair and a wry smile. On the first day of class, written on the board in large cursive letters, was the phrase that succinctly described her attitude towards physics, and that which she intended to give to her students:
I learned from Mrs. Emmetts that most physics teachers are at least partially insane. I wondered about the cause and effect — whether the insanity comes from studying the king of sciences or whether one must be nutso in the first place to even think about staring down the reasons behind the universe's creation. I didn't know much about physics other than that it was an especially difficult science that was heavily math-oriented.
How, then, could physics be PHUN?
Physics was going to be hard. Maybe physics was phun in the same way that getting punched in the arm sixty-seven times in a row gets to be phun (that is, you're in such misery that you just have to start laughing about it).
To this day, because of Mrs. Emmetts, "Physics is phun" is the slogan I use with my students to get them to think about the joy of studying physics. This is not the same kind of joy one gets when their favorite NFL team wins the Super Bowl. This is the joy that one gets completing a difficult crossword puzzle or sudoku, completing a craft or handiwork, or learning a new skill.
The joy of studying physics is a sense of accomplishment. Being able to discover even the smallest insight into the universe's inner workings feels as if Mother Nature is entrusting you with one of her most closely-guarded secrets. I became a physics teacher because I wanted to help students find these insights on their own.
Through this blog, I intend to share with you my love of physics and my personal calling to help physics students in their studies. My goal is to write articles for physics teachers, physics students, and anyone else who thinks they might be interested in the subject. I don't intend on writing this blog above a high school level; in fact, you shouldn't feel as if you even need to have taken a physics course in order to participate. Future articles will include insights for physics students, test-taking hints, practice problems for test-taking, problems of interest, commentary on news in physics and mathematics, and random bits of interest. Join me — let's discover nature's secrets together.

About Me
Hi There, my name is Wendell Bulbaai.
I'm a native of a beautiful Island in the Caribbean named Curacao ,
I speak 4 different languages.My native language is Papiamento.
Beside of that I speak Dutch which is still the official language on the island. Curacao being a touristic destination we also learn to dominate English and Spanish.
I'm father of 3 lovely children.At the age of 27 I moved to The Netherlands where I lived for 5 years but after that decided to go back to my birth place.10 years later came to me the opportunity to migrate to The United States where I established myself in Houston Texas.I'm living here now since 2003.
My first contact with the concept of network marketing was way back in 1984 where I was introduced to a company most of you may know which is Amway.Since 1984 I have seen so many MLM businesses come my way but truly it wasn't till recently in 2007 that something really caught my attention again.So I decided to start my journey exploring the internet for opportunities.
My first year was a real struggle what should not be a surprise since 98% of those trying to build an online business will fail. Real soon I realized that it would not be an easy task, but I was determined to figure it out and was determined not to give up on my dreams.
After countless of hours spent on the internet to understand what those marketing online were doing to be successful I little by little managed to put the pieces together.But even then I had not reached my goal yet. I keep improving everyday by applying what I learn. Believe me when I say that it is all about the action that you take that will make the difference in you getting results or not getting results.
Internet Marketing has become a passion for me. Getting in touch with new people and build new relationship is always so exciting and also very rewarding.
My main focus on this blog will be on providing basic strategies to build your web presence. I'm here to share real value with you about what I know, but always striving to learn new values from those with even more experience than me. I'm here to show you how to build your wealth by sharing values with others. My goal here is to see anyone who applies what you read on this blog succeed.Thanks for reading and feel free to contact for any information or question you may have.

Critics Christy Lemire, Sheila O'Malley and Susan Wloszczyna talk about 1980s cult film "Ms. 45" on the occasion of a re-release.
"The Green Hornet" is an almost unendurable demonstration of a movie with nothing to be about. Although it follows the rough storyline of previous versions of the title, it neglects the construction of a plot engine to pull us through. There are pointless dialogue scenes going nowhere much too slowly, and then pointless action scenes going everywhere much too quickly.
Seth Rogen deserves much of the blame. He co-wrote the screenplay, giving himself way too many words, and then hurls them tirelessly at us at a modified shout. He plays Britt Reid, a spoiled little rich brat who grows up the same way, as the son of a millionaire newspaper publisher (Tom Wilkinson, who apparently remains the same age as his son ages from about 10 to maybe 30). After his father's death, he shows little interest in running a newspaper, but bonds with Kato (Jay Chou), his father's auto mechanic and coffee maker. Yes.
Kato is the role Bruce Lee played on the TV series. Jay Chou is no Bruce Lee, but it's hard to judge him as an actor with Rogen hyperventilating through scene after scene. Together, they devise a damn-fool plan to fight crime by impersonating a criminal (The Green Hornet) and his sidekick. This they do while wearing masks that serve no purpose as far as I could determine, except to make them look suspicious. I mean, like, who wears a mask much these days?
The crime lord in the city is Chudnofsky (Christoph Waltz, the Oscar winner from "Inglourious Basterds"). That provides the movie with a villain but hardly with a character.
The war between Chudnofsky and the Hornet is played out in a great many vehicle stunts and explosions, which go on and on and on, maddeningly, as if screenwriter Rogen tired of his own dialogue (not as quickly as we do, alas) and scribbled in: Here second unit supplies nine minutes of CGI action.
There is a role in the film for Cameron Diaz as Lenore Case, would-be secretary for young Reid, but nothing for her to do. She functions primarily to allow the camera to cut to her from time to time, which is pleasant but unsatisfying. Diaz has a famously wonderful smile, and curiously in her first shot in the film, she smiles for no reason at all, maybe just to enter the smile on the record.
The director of this half-cooked mess is Michel Gondry, whose "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" is as good as this one is bad. Casting about for something to praise, I recalled that I heard a strange and unique sound for the first time, a high-pitched whooshing scream, but I don't think Gondry can claim it, because it came from the hand dryers in the nearby men's room.
Note: Yes, it was in 3-D. The more I see of the process, the more I think of it as a way to charge extra for a dim picture.

Council Primary Candidates Forum
About half the seats were filled at the start of Wednesday's forum; by the end, only a few dozen people remained, and many of those were candidates' families, or, candidates running with the Republican and Working Families parties. Two of the ten Democrats running for City Council did not attend. It was a rare event that finished early in spite of many questions from the audience.
The forum provided Democrats with the opportunity to distinguish themselves from the other candidates; few bothered to do so. Instead, candidates were quick to agree with each other, rarely adding anything meaningful to previous comments; a few candidates gave rambling responses to most questions, stumping the audience as to the point being made.
The eight candidates were divided into three groups. Each person in a group would stand at the microphones and respond to the questions asked of everyone in that grouping. It was a more successful way of wrangling that many candidates, and most of them respected time limitations. After the pre-formulated questions, audience members were permitted to directly ask questions. Usually, the audience is given index cards on which to write and submit questions. The latter part of the program gave a better sense of the issues that residents are concerned with, even if the manner by which they were asked was not always eloquent.
Kyle K. Anderson, Alex Aponte, Raul DeJesus, Ashley J. Johnson, Ken Kennedy, David MacDonald, rJo Winch, and Shawn Wooden participated; Valerie Allen and Shaquasia M. Goldsby were not present.
The first group — Ken Kennedy (incumbent), rJo Winch (incumbent), and Ashley J. Johnson — were asked about the ideal balance between mayor and council. Given that this is balance is outlined in the charter and there will not be another charter revision for some time, the question seemed pointless.
Kennedy said that while he does favor district elections, this is not the system we have. He said that people sitting on council "must be willing to exercise authority," and explained how during most of the time Hartford has had the strong mayor system, Perez (he didn't name names) was running the show. Kennedy said that since Segarra has been serving as mayor, the council has acted more independently. Winch's response did not vary wildly from Kennedy's. She added that the council is "working in conjunction with the mayor" to run the city and that "communication, communication, communication is the key." The council's role, Winch said, is to serve residents. Johnson told the small crowd that he can get along with anyone and that "we have to use our authority in a positive way."
The second question, while worded strangely, was more useful to voters; candidates were asked which policies would guide their decision-making in budget cuts.
Winch and Kennedy provided similar responses, describing what the council actually did recently. Winch described how some departments were consolidated. Kennedy reiterated this, adding that Hartford residents are "overtaxed" but "you can't destroy services while reducing the mill rate." Johnson said that he has experience in budgeting for his household and in doing so learned that "you can't spend more than you bring in." Without adding any specifics, he said, "you always cut from the top and not from the bottom because the people at the bottom" are the ones who make things work.
The second group — Raul DeJesus and Kyle K. Anderson — were asked different questions.
Candidates were asked about — yawn — their priority quality of life issues. DeJesus focused entirely on police in his response, saying that Hartford has enough officers, but too many are doing desk jobs that anyone could be doing. DeJesus spoke about how far removed the Hartford Police Department on Jennings Road is from the city and how "buses don't even run there." He said "we have to make better use of our substations." Anderson explained that quality of life issues vary depending on where someone lives. In some places, the concern is crime. In others, it's potholes. Economic disparities, he said, affect quality of life, and this is something that needs to be dealt with.
Their second question was about what would be done about unemployment. Anderson said he did not want to duplicate existing job training programs. Instead, he suggested we look into what exists and find ways of strengthening what we have. He talked about how the industries Hartford has been known for are changing, thus, "diversifying our workforce" is a need. We mentioned green technologies as a way to expand jobs. DeJesus' response was unclear. He spoke about something Segarra is looking into regarding expanding terminals, and somehow this may lead to more West Indian produce, which is linked to jobs. This could have been explained better, particularly what role DeJesus saw himself playing in all this, and where these jobs would be located.
The last group was comprised of David MacDonald, Alex Aponte (incumbent), and Shawn Wooden. They were asked about requiring Hartford residency for all City employees. The question was not worded well, and MacDonald, the first to respond, was interrupted several times as the moderator attempted to rephrase the question. MacDonald began by saying "My understanding is we couldn't" require residency for all City employees; as the question was reformulated to ask if he would try to affect change on the State level so that lower- and mid-level City employees could be legally required, he hesitated about what he would do, but said he supports incentives. Aponte said, "department heads have to reside in the city," saying that those with six-figure salaries will be out of touch if not living here. As for entry-level and mid-level jobs, he would not want to see that requirement, saying that surrounding towns might adopt a similar measure, and we would lose residents who follow jobs into places like East Hartford. Wooden said "it's not realistic" to think "we have enough authority" to affect change in the State Legislature. Wooden favored incentives for police officers to live within city limits.
Their final question was a throwaway about if they would favor limiting pension costs. They all said yes, with nothing worth noting beyond that.
Candidates had time to offer "rebuttals" to any previous questions they were not asked.
Kennedy remarked that the changes the council made to the pension "weren't insignificant," but a problem is how police overtime affects pensions.
Winch said that Hartford "needs a campaign to hire Hartford" and that it shouldn't be optional to hire residents; it should be mandatory. This received a lot of audience applause. The audience was also pleased with DeJesus' stance that "education is the solution to 99.9% of our problems in the city." He asserted that companies do not want to come here because "our population is not educated."
Johnson, adding his two cents about quality of life issues, said "people want a safe place and a clean place to come home to," alluding to crime and litter. Anderson used his time to put forth his "CPR" plan: community, pride, and revitalization. He wants to see Hartford restored "to its prominence" and believes that there needs to be "someone on council to take initiative."
Wooden gave his biographical speech, adding only that Hartford has "become a place of dysfunction" and that education is the best tool to lift people out of poverty. MacDonald began to differentiate himself from Wooden by saying that he believes in and loves the city. But then he talked about his tenure with the Board of Education, which some in the audience would later make known is not necessarily an asset.
Aponte remarked that "simple solutions for complex problems are simplistic and not solutions at all."
"Competence and qualification" he said, were important qualities for those on the City Council to have.
The question-and-answer period featured three Connecticut Coalition for Environmental Justice members asking about what the City Council would do regarding the incinerator. Only Kennedy and Anderson answered the part of the question that demanded an answer for what should be done with this source of toxic pollution. Kennedy explained that it would be tricky, due to contractual issues with CRRA, but that the equipment used is "way out of date," and needs to be addressed. He said that green energy could actually save us money in the budget, but making this shift could not be done by the City of Hartford alone; they would need to partner with the utility companies. Anderson said that if the equipment is aging and costing more to restore than to replace, then he would want to look at a replacement for it in committee. He also promoted the idea of installing "windmills" on top of the former landfill and looking into solar power options. Johnson said "green is in right now and is creating jobs."
When the question was asked by Martha Kelly, she asked how they would support an effort that involved both shutting down the incinerator and putting people, particularly those with felony records, to work. Winch invited her (and the group) to come in for a meeting, saying that she supports job creation. Aponte noted that both trash and ex-offenders from all over the state get dumped in Hartford; he said that the State needs to "pay us to deal with their problems."
Another audience member asked how each candidate would deal with prisoner re-entry. Both Johnson and DeJesus said that they work in fields that deal with this process. Johnson said that the State does not adequately fund re-entry programs. DeJesus suggested that convicts be required to get educated while in prison: "instead of doing 500 push ups, you should be reading 500 books."
Aponte noted that New Haven has an excellent prisoner re-entry program that Hartford is thinking of using as a model. MacDonald said more can be done to coordinate existing services, and that the City needs to work with the State so that people, upon release from prison, are not just "given bus tickets to Hartford." He supports the State's "ban the box" measure. Winch reminded the audience that she introduced the "Ban the Box" ordinance at the City level; this ordinance was passed in 2010.
Some questions were totally esoteric.
One person asked "what are you planning to do to bring us all together," which, as someone else pointed out, is the equivalent of asking how someone is going to create world peace. Wooden provided no actual answer, though he recounted his story of giving up his mayoral bid to prevent what some believed would result in divisive campaigning. MacDonald acknowledged that "there's a certain sense that some communities get more than others," and this inequity would need to be dealt with. He said he would represent all areas of Hartford, as well as "empower neighborhoods" to solve their own problems as much as they can. Winch received a lot of applause for saying, "we need representative government. [...] can't have one single gender running the city." She elaborated on the various demographics that need equal representation.
Johnson said that bringing "young people together" is necessary because "you can't teach an old dog new tricks." Kennedy built on Johnson's answer, talking about the need for rebuilding the recreation department that was dismantled in the 90s. He told the audience about how recreation brings youth from all over the city together. He also named some of the assets that are already bringing people together, like the free jazz concerts and the West Indian parade.
Anderson said that people need to "galvanize" behind an event or cause and seemed to think that health issues would be universal enough, naming prostate cancer and breast cancer as ones that people across all demographics would care about.
Another hard-to-pin-down question was related somehow to social services. Some candidates offered nothing of substance in their responses.
Winch said that she supports male leadership programs and is asking fathers to take their children to school on the first day. She said, "we've got to reexamine our village." Johnson said that he is a "pastor in the North End of Hartford" and that he believes "we have to educate our people." He said "you can't always throw money at a problem," and that "we need to teach our men to be men." Anderson spoke about how Doc Hurley served as a mentor to him — the mention of Hurley received applause — and how Anderson himself helped start the Greater Hartford Male Youth Leadership Program.
Someone in the audience used the opportunity to ask MacDonald, with the Board of Education, why he authorized the $400 per month allowance for gas for the new superintendent. He explained that the reimbursement was more cost effective than leasing a vehicle. Winch said that "people with six figures should not have an expense account," to much applause. There was something of an antagonistic back and forth between MacDonald and the audience about where Kishimoto lives and when she moved to Hartford.
A few times microphones were quickly taken away from audience members who wanted to ask multi-part questions, though the Democratic Registrar of Voters was permitted several minutes of rambling and kvetching that few could make sense of. This was directed at the candidates, despite the fact that Mike McGarry — the Republican running, sort of, not really, for mayor — in the audience, was the one to previously make a remark about how long it took for candidates to learn if they received enough signatures or not. He also used to opportunity at the microphone to tell candidates to speak with the media. Poorly played on both counts. Elected officials and candidates for other positions should not be using events for general voters to air their own grievances or promote organizations with which they are affiliated.
The Democratic primary is on September 13th. There will not be one for the other political parties. There will be another forum after the primary which will allow participation by candidates in all political parties.
7 October 2011 Update: Read about a more recent forum in which City Council candidates from all political parties were invited.
3 Responses to "Council Primary Candidates Forum"
Thanks for keeping us informed. There should be some sort of hazardous duty pay slush fund to reimburse you for covering such events.
Mmmm, slushy. -
city council is the true government of the city .. practical reality is implemented through their work…if they work together, then progress can be achieved.. also city council is close to the ground, and therefore, in theory, should be beyond petty differences and political parties.. they don't get paid much.. mostly it is a volunteer type scenario.. therefore, the focus should be on production and tangible results..

Well, step Balearic Boulder Master 2012 in Mallorca.
Make a story about one of the best climbing sporting events that took place at a professional level in our country and hanging over 300 photos that make me almost impossible. It all starts with the motivation of incombustible Marcelo alias Toni Toni Montana & Business Man, a person with this name given by the Brigade Face Belmont is that it has earned, and it has.
The Master Balearic Boulder is a competition of international scope with prizes of 1500 € in cash and jointly organized by Marcelo and Climbing Dyreco Toni and the same format used in the World Cup bouldering problems for the team equipped routesetters English, the same professionals who are equipped in the world cup and above all show, much show.
For there we were invited Aleix Vilardebo with your company and your partners We Are Sunday dedicated to the whole issue of advertising, video, commercials and photo, and I Pol Roca, Aleix and Pol I to work and compete Roca,
we would be with the team of the Belmont Face Brigade with which spent four unforgettable days (many anecdotes that every time I think I laugh alone), in front of the palace of the king must still remember us, asking for jelly beans, but that's another story.
Sean McColl came, Guntram Jorg, Alexei Rubtsov, Marco jubes, Ignassi Tarrazona, a friend of Marco Pol Roca, Simon Baltes (that big), Sasha DiGiulian, Courtney Sanders (wife of Daniel Woods, watch this very strong), Berta Martin, Ruth Planells, Eilin jubes, Marta Palou, and sure I leave it to someone besides all categories Balearic championship, oh yes Montoliu Laia met again after almost 10 years since we met, and is injured because new mats that FEEC supply for the event, when you fall sales rebound, with the consequent danger of giving you in the mouth with your own knee ligament sprain and break, etc, etc, in principle, Laia was diagnosed with torn ACL, be seen as evolving upcoming films, gentlemen of the FEEC take the mat and use recyclable bags to shoulder bags, usually competitors and organization as well as international routesetters complained about the poor quality of the mats if not not leave light, which then automatically deflate step and nearly representative of Russia, Alexei suffers broken any of his limbs to jump off the top block and having done without realizing that they had deflated.
Participation in my study Psyco Art Holds was present in the form of holds that had designed specially for the competition, as was the volume round Mammut logo in its center, as well as large areas, giant blunt and a new game dual Texture which delighted the routesetters, for me it was an emotional moment when Pavi face Belmez announced over loudspeakers that the dam had been designed by my studio and I had on society, then intense heat flooded my face and started red as a tomato while some 100-odd people were clapping and shouting, I could not believe, with a few autographs that I had to shoot in dams and shirts, along with Face Belmez Pavi also had to leave his rubric, Sasha DiGiulian or Jorg Guntram was a dream come true.
The routesetters equipped more like the way they do in the world cup, many dams using twin, two-handed throws up on his movements impossible to balance and technique, a lot of movement on corners and edges, leaving its distinctive mark, certainly a very creative and very good, congratulations.
Could explain a lot of anecdotes, but I think the pictures speak for themselves, to finish the competition played here each party and are looking for life, first we were all to one place and then just all in another, and then Pavi, Hartosopas, Aleix and I just got in a dive of those who make history, and more and more and more, and blah, blah, blah, a great night that will remain in our memories for many years, no doubt.
Those of you interested in seeing the nearly 300 pictures we took of the competition you can see through facebook, here:
The classification was as follows:
Girls: 1 position Sasha DiGiulian
2 position Berta Martin
3 position Courtney sanders
Boys: 1 position Sean McColl
2 position Ignasi Tarrazona
3 position Guntram Jorg
All who are interested in taking and using pictures to your blogs, websites, etc, etc, appreciate nombraseis source, author name and link to this photo blog or website http://www.psycoartholds.com/, many thanks

Scarce Emerald Damselfly
The Scarce Emerald Damselfly (Lestes dryas) is one of the rarest damselflies in England, although it may be under-recorded. It was believed extinct at one time but is now found in Essex and the Thames estuary as well as in two locations in Norfolk.
Oddly enough, in North America, where it is known as the Emerald Spreadwing, it is very common while our Emerald is unknown.
Almost identical to the Emerald damselfly the males can only reliably be distinguished by the shape of the anal appendages. In females the two green spots on segment 2 are rectangular rather than the teardrop shape of the female emerald.
Location | Grid Reference | Status |
Holt Lowes | TG0837 | Rare |
North Tuddenham Common | TG0314 | Rare |
Thompson Common | TL9396 | Frequent |

We are booked for a holiday here in September , but finding it hard to get transport from Reus airport at a reasonable cost.
Any suggestions ?.........all advice welcome.
Thank you.
not familiar with Vilanova but there will be buses from the airport into Salou, from there it would be a train heading for Sitges, via Tarragona. Check out the Renfe site. I also saw a similar post about someone going from port aventura to BCN Airport and a VT user mentioned a Salou based taxi service, maybe a search will bring the post up.

"(…) Seth Thomas Friday, July 6 2012
Links do matter, but app culture is changing the structure, movement, and experience of what used to be the known as 'the web' for more and more people. In the new world of apps, digital experiences may be more discreetly monetizable and tightly controlled as products, but they also tend to be built like little islands — foregoing a lot of the flow and synergy of the web as we've come to know it.
Web apps can still easily employ links because the web browser is a fantastically open platform. However, most phones and tablets push their own proprietary applications, making it difficult for the average user to reach content not presented inside a proprietary app. This is my least favorite aspect of the iPhone/iPad revolution; Many operating systems and developers alike have embraced a model that discourages the entire concept of moving between destinations in the digital world.
Consumers vote with their money, and they should make themselves aware of the effects of the platforms they're supporting. The last thing we need is the web equivalent of a cable company, with all digital culture feeding through a handful of gatekeepers.
Mathew Ingram Saturday, July 7 2012
That's a great point, Seth — mobile apps don't handle links well (if at all) which is why web apps are better in many cases, at least when it comes to media. (…)"

Tigers split doubleheader at Hanover
April 17, 2004
Game one box score | Game two box score
Hanover, Ind. - The Tigers scored twice in the top of the seventh of the nightcap of their doubleheader and held on for a 5-4 win at Hanover to earn a split of the twinbill. Hanover won the first game by a 2-1 score. DePauw is 14-23 on the season, while the Panthers are 8-17.
In the second game, DePauw trailed 3-0 after three as the Panthers scored once in the second and twice in the third. Danelle Pattison led off the second with a single and moved to third on sacrifice bunts by Jill Boys and Meghan Lunsford. Pattison scored when Syndey Osborn reached on an error. In the third, Jill Slaven singled with one out before Stephanie Elfers reached on an error. Monica Pogue singled to score slaven and Boys later singled home Pogue.
Laura Schlensker walked in the fourth and moved to second on Ashley Sewell's single before Caroline Provan drove in Schlensker with DePauw's first run. The Tigers tied the game at 3-3 in the fifth as Nicole Kernan led off with a walk and moved to second on a groundout before scoring on Schlensker's single. After Sewell reached on an error, Provan singled home Schlensker.
The Tigers took the lead in the seventh as Kristy Mahon led off by reaching on an error and advanced to second on Schlensker's sacrifice bunt. Sewell singled Mahon to third and Provan followed with a run-scoring base hit to make it 4-3. Angela Keslin drove in Sewell with a base hit.
Provan had three of DePauw's 10 hits, while Keslin and Sewell had two apiece. Provan drove in three in the win. Pogue had three of Hanover's 11 hits with Elfers, Pattison and Boys each adding a pair. Lauren Curosh improved to 7-12 with the win. Stephanie Piontek suffered the loss.
Curosh pitched a three-hitter in the first game, but the Tigers managed just one run in the 2-1 loss. DePauw scored its lone run in the first as Mahon hit a two-out triple and came home on Schlensker's double. Hanover tied the game in the bottom of the first as Elfers singled and moved to second on Pattison's sacrifice bunt. Elfers scored on Pogue's double.
The Panthers scored the game-winner in the fifth as Lunsford reached on an error and advanced to third on Osborn's bunt. She scored on Casey Wallace's double.

After last year's UN report on evidence of torture in several Afghan prisons, the NATO-led international forces (ISAF) suspended the transfer of detainees to Afghan facilities, were they could be subject to torture or ill-treatment and established a monitoring program for detainee transfers. However, this program does not apply for U.S. forces outside the ISAF command chain.
The report has stated that there is evidence of torture and ill-treatment in several cases such as beatings, suspension from the ceiling, electric shocks, threatened or actual sexual abuse, and other forms of mental and physical abuse as well as evidence of other violations of detainees rights under the custody of Afghan intelligence and police services.

1. eBay: For ecommerce merchants, eBay is your best option in terms of finding where to sell your products. This is simply because there are really no limits as to what you can sell. Whether it's an old antique that might only be worth a dime or an expensive car, eBay allows online merchants to sell their products through their online store. EBay also offers multiple pricing options; you can sell items at a fixed price or have customers bid on your items. Sellers pay an insertion fee to list their goods, additional fees for the number of photographs that display the product, and commission (a percentage of the sale price). EBay is one of the best options when it comes to making money on the internet.
2. Amazon: Amazon is second on our list of top marketplace sites. Amazon charges a $0.99 fee when your item sells, along with an 8 to 20 %commission. Amazon is another great marketing channel because it also allows ecommerce merchants to list a variety of products. It is more limited than eBay, however. For instance, it's harder to sell less valuable items on Amazon because the selling prices are high. That being said, your items will reach millions of customers because Amazon is the global leader in online book sales. Buyers will be visiting Amazon for books and are likely to see your products there, too.
3. Etsy: Etsy is the world's handmade marketplace. This site focuses mainly on selling vintage and homemade items, so it's great is you're looking to make money online for an original product. This is a great place for all you creative and inventive ecommerce merchants. If you have your own line of photography or a collection of vintage jewelry, this is the place for your ecommerce store. Etsy also lets you sell commercial crafting supplies. There is no membership fee for Etsy; you only have to pay $0.20 to list an item for 4 months, or until it sells, and also 3.5 % commission.
4. Craigslist: The great thing about Craigslist is that it's free! It may not be the most aesthetically pleasing site, but it's a great way to make money online. You can list your price and get in contact with the customer directly. One drawback is that you can only post listings in the sections designated for the geographic area to which your product applies. If you have a bunch of furniture that you want to sell, you will only be able to reach out to the people in the surrounding metropolitan area. This may be a downside, but keep in mind that Craigslist gets a lot of customers. People are always looking for an easy way to buy goods, and with Craigslist shipping isn't an issue. Customers come inspect the product and pick it up when they are ready to buy it. For those items that you can't seem to sell on the larger marketplace sites, post a free ad on Craigslist and see if anyone goes after your offer.
5. Svpply: Svpply is an online marketplace dedicated to the social networking side of ecommerce. Members of Svpply share products with other consumers. As an ecommerce merchant, you can include a Svpply button on your site so that when a customer likes your product, they can click the button and share it on Svpply. This will create a product page for your item that will reach other customers who browse svpply.com.
6. Ruby Lane: Along with Etsy, this is another site that helps ecommerce merchants looking to sell art, jewelry, vintage items, and collectibles. This site does really well when it comes to customer service and usability. It also does really well among consumers; vintage goods and art seem to be a hot commodity these days.
7. Atomic Mall: "They're Kind of a Big Deal," as their slogan says. Atomic mall allows sellers to post a wide variety of products for a reasonable price, and buyers can bid or buy products listed in the online stores. You can create your own online store for a small initiation fee, and then a monthly fee depending on the type of account you create. Small commission is also charged for the products you sell.
8. Envato: If electronics are you game, Envato is the right marketplace for you. They're dedicated to selling digital goods like Wordpress themes or flash players. Incorporated in 2006, they now have 500,000 users, sellers and buyers.
9. Froomerce: Froomerce is another social media outlet for ecommerce merchants. This site has a facebook app that allows you to make a facebook store. You can see what customers are interested in buying and also make sales right from your facebook wall. Social networking is a great way to promote your ecommerce business because sites like facebook can show you exactly what the customers' interests are. Froomerce capitalizes on this concept with its app store that allows merchants to market across web, social media, and mobile channels.
10. Storenvy: At Storenvy, you can create your own online store for free. Customers and sellers can interact with one another through this online mall experience. When customers browse storenvy, they can pick favorite stores and share them with fellow users. This is a great way to market your ecommerce business on the web.
When it comes to online marketing sectors, it's important to take advantage of the right options. If you're selling computers, perhaps Etsy isn't the place for you. If you're looking to sell locally, Crasiglist is a great option. If you want to sell just about anything, start posting on eBay. Keep in mind that you can take advantage of more than one marketplace site. Also, never underestimate the power of social media networking. Figuring out the right outlet for your ecommerce store can be difficult; that's why Infigra Ecommerce is here to help with all your ecommerce site services and solutions.

VVD and PvdA plan no more changes in 2013 spending plansWednesday 03 October 2012 The two parties currently negotiating forming a new government have no more plans to amend the outgoing government's 2013 budget, it emerged during a debate on Tuesday. VVD leader and prime minister Mark Rutte told MPs no other changes in the financial planning for next year 'are expected'. The changes agreed earlier this week by the VVD and PvdA include scrapping the tax-break on travel expenses and the extra fees for students who take too long to complete their degree. Criticism The changes to the budget agreement, reached earlier this year, were criticised by opposition MPs. The anti-immigration PVV, which pulled out of the current governing alliance forcing last month's general election, said the VVD had lied to voters and made too many concessions to the PvdA. The Socialists, by contrast, accused the PvdA of adopting the 'neo-Liberal course followed by the VVD' by agreeing to spending cuts, not extra investment. The Christian Democrats and Liberal Democrats D66 both said the new alliance is saddling the average person with an increase in taxes. Caretaker cabinet Meanwhile, sources in The Hague have told Nos television the atmosphere between ministers in the outgoing cabinet is 'not great'. The VVD-CDA coalition is now in a caretaker role, pending the formation of a new administration. In particular, CDA ministers feel they are being held back by Rutte, who is now intent on doing business with the PvdA. © DutchNews.nl Readers' Comments This is more important than Sheeple think.

Whereas it hath please Almighty God, the Father of all mercies amidst the vicissitudes and calamities of war, to bestow blessings on the people of these states, which call for their devout and thanksful acknowledgments, more especially in the late remarkable interposition of this watchful providence, in rescuing the person of our commander in chief and the army from imminent dangers, at the moment when treason was ripened for execution; in prospering the labors of the husbandmen, and causing the earth to yield its increase in plentiful harvests; and, above all, in continuing to us the enjoyment of the gospel of peace.
It is therefore recommended to the several states to set a part Thursday, the 7th day of December next, to be observed as a day of public thanksgiving and prayer; that all the people may assembly on that day to celebrate the praises of our Divine Benefactor; to confess our unworthiness of the least of his favors, and to offer our fervent supplications to the God of all grace; that it may please him to pardon our heinous transgressions and incline our hearts for the future to keep all his laws; to comfort and relieve our brethren who are any wise afflicted or distressed; to smile upon our husbandry and trade; to direct our public councils and lead our forces, by land and sea to victory; to take our illustrious ally under his special protection, and favor our joint councils and exertions for the establishment of speedy and permanent peace; to cherish all schools and seminaries of education and to cause the knowledge of Christianity to spread over all the earth.

Quirky News
Beijing limits flies in public toilets
Officials in Beijing have set new standards for public toilets - including a stipulation that they should contain no more than two flies.
The new rules, published by the commission of city administration, also set standards on odour, reports the BBC.
They also cover cleaning and training for attendants - but it is not clear if or how failing toilets will be punished.
The new standards also require signs in both Chinese and English to be installed in the toilets.
And they regulate adverts in toilets, saying they must not obstruct functionality and had to be legal, reports the Beijing Times.
Beijing's Municipal Commission of City Administration and Environment said the regulations aimed to standardise toilet management at places such as parks, railway stations, hospitals and shopping malls.
An unnamed official from the commission told local media that the guidelines on flies were meant for easy monitoring.

Hi all, just about to join all you Focus drivers out there, but I've hit a stumbling block...I simply love Ford's, always have, but what has clinched the Focus for my missus (amongst other things) is the interior lighting!!
Now, in the brochure, the Titanium shows a "red" colour light in the footwell...Ford states it as "Interior ambient lighting with LED technology and footwell courtesy lights".
The Titanium X however shows the "ice blue" she has fallen in love with...Ford states this as "Interior ambient lighting with multi-colour LEDs".
This has me confused. Does the Titanium only have the "red" footwell lights, or can you change the colour?
Either way, I'm over the moon we've settled on the Focus, being a one-child family it simply cannot be faulted!! I just want to iron out the smaler details before getting over-excited and buying without checking everything.
Thanks in advance for any comments you make guys!!

What you have stated is correct. But the Titanium X is multi coloured and unlike the mk2.5 you can't change them unless you disable the red and fit some blues
Posted 19 September 2012 - 05:37 AM
Hi welcome
Posted 19 September 2012 - 04:27 PM
yep titanium x has multiple choice of led colour where as the titanium is set to one colour, if you can find a used one for a small amount more then go for the titanium x its a far better choice with DRL's aswell

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
The Motive is clear, Canadian TV series drew actor home
VANCOUVER -- They aren't just making a TV show. They're also making a statement about how, and where, they want to pursue their careers as actors.
The stars of the upcoming CTV police drama Motive, which is currently in production in Vancouver, have very definite ideas about what being part of this new Canadian series means, personally as well as professionally. On a predictably rainy Tuesday in November, Motive's producers invited TV writers from several Canadian cities to visit the show's headquarters at The Bridge Studios in the Vancouver suburb of Burnaby. During interviews on the show's set, its two lead cast members -- both Canadians who have had lengthy careers in the U.S. -- cited Motive's location and unapologetically Canadian attitude as major factors in their decision to sign on.
"I didn't want to be at the whim of the networks in the (United) States anymore," series star Kristin Lehman explained. "I was very content to be a journeyman actor, and to take shows or films on a project-by-project basis, because my inventory of values told me that my quality of life with my family needed to be a higher priority than whatever else came next. ... I didn't want to get back on that (U.S. network) roller-coaster of 'This is the next hot thing,' only to have them pull the plug. I had done that too many times."
Motive, which is slated to premiere on CTV early in 2013, is described by its producers as "a whydunit rather than a whodunit"; Lehman is cast in the lead role as Det. Angie Flynn, an outspoken single mom whose on-the-job investigative instincts might be described as both abrupt and nearly infallible.
Canadian actor Louis Ferreira plays Flynn's level-headed partner, Det. Oscar Vega, and TV veteran Lauren Holly -- an American-born performer who now calls Toronto home -- portrays medical examiner Dr. Betty Rogers.
Last year, at about the same time that she had begun dreaming of a solid gig in her home country, Lehman was shooting a movie in North Carolina; during her down time, she happened upon a marathon of the CTV-produced drama Flashpoint on a U.S. cable network. It was, she explained, a complete eye opener.
"I had never seen Flashpoint before," she said. "I called my husband afterward and said, 'I should be so lucky as to work in Canada on a show that looks as good as that one and goes as long as it has. I would love nothing more than that.'... I've had a lovely life in the States, and a very nice career, but I want to live here."
Lehman had taken a couple of years off from acting after the birth of her son, and was seeking to continue the positive level of work/life balance she found when she resumed her career with a part on the AMC series The Killing.
"After The Killing wrapped, I took some time off to be with my family, and then I continued all my professional obligations in Los Angeles, where I've lived and worked for a very long time. But ... I wanted to work at the highest level possible in Canada. I've had a long career, I've worked really hard and I've learned a thing or two, and I wanted the luxury of being able to work in my own country, on a show that I respect and admire, and I believed such a show could exist in Canada. And then Motive came along.
"At the moment when I had to make a decision, there was this show, and there was another show, an American project, knocking hard at my door. And instead of saying all the things I've used to make decisions in the past, I bit my tongue, held my breath and said, 'I want to do this show. I'm not going to hedge my bets.'"
Motive's unconventional format will begin each episode by showing viewers a murder and the identity of the killer; as the storyline unfolds, the audience will discover clues at the same time as the show's fictional detectives, and by the end, everyone on both sides of the screen will understand why the crime was committed.
Lehman, 40, a Toronto-born actor whose extensive U.S.-network credits also include Fox's Killer Instinct and CBS's Judging Amy and Century City, said she welcomes the challenge of playing a prime-time series' central character.
"I'm just fiercely proud of this series," she said. "I want, every day, to come in and do it justice. I feel so grateful that I get to drive 10 minutes (to work), in the country that I love, and that I have this opportunity to make art in my own country and play a great female character. There just aren't that many opportunities like this that come along.
"I feel very invested in this, so I think the stakes are higher. I want my integrity to show; I want all the training I've had to show. I want to be the best team player I can be; I want to be the most effective co-star I can be; I want to treat people with dignity and respect. Everything I've learned in my entire career, I want it to be used here."
Lehman's partner in (solving) crime is Portugese-born, Toronto-raised actor Ferreira, 45, who toiled for 25 years under the stage moniker Justin Louis before reclaiming his name and heritage after his mother's death in 2008. He said that even at this early stage in production, there's a feeling on the Motive set that this could be an important series, like Due South and Flashpoint before it, in the continuing evolution of Canada's homegrown-production industry.
"I think (Canadian TV) is better now than it's ever been," said Ferreira, whose U.S. TV credits include Stargate Universe, Hidden Hills, Public Morals and The Fighting Fitzgeralds. "You don't have to leave to do great work.... We are a smaller country, for sure, but boy, are we able to produce some wonderful stuff now. And we're doing it more and more.
"What I love is the fact that I'm back in a city I love, working with this group of people -- I worked with a lot of them on Stargate, and across the board, they're the greatest. I'm just so grateful."

Do you remember why Lynne Stewart decided to become a Useful Idiot for the jihadists? Here it is in her own words: "To rid ourselves of the entrenched, voracious type of capitalism that is in this country that perpetuates sexism and racism, I don't think that can come nonviolently."
Right. Omar Abdel Rahman, champion of the struggle against racism and sexism. It's beyond parody, folks, like so many things these days.
"Civil rights lawyer sentenced to prison," by Larry Neumeister for Associated Press:
NEW YORK - Civil rights lawyer Lynne Stewart was sentenced Monday to 28 months in prison on a terrorism charge for helping a client who plotted to blow up New York City landmarks communicate with his followers, a sentence far less than 30 years prosecutors wanted.Stewart, 67, smiled as the judge announced he would send her to prison for less than 2 1/2 years.
"If you send her to prison, she's going to die. It's as simple as that," defense lawyer Elizabeth Fink had told the judge before the sentence was pronounced.
Stewart, who was treated last year for breast cancer, was convicted in 2005 of providing material support to terrorists. She had released a statement by Omar Abdel-Rahman, a blind Egyptian sheik sentenced to life in prison after he was convicted in plots to blow up five New York landmarks and assassinate Egypt's president.
Prosecutors have called the case a major victory in the war on terrorism. They said Stewart and other defendants carried messages between the sheik and senior members of an Egyptian-based terrorist organization, helping spread Abdel-Rahman's call to kill those who did not subscribe to his extremist interpretation of Islamic law.
In a letter to the judge before her hearing, Stewart proclaimed: "I am not a traitor."
"The end of my career truly is like a sword in my side," She said in court Monday. "Permit me to live out the rest of my life productively, lovingly, righteously."
In a pre-sentence document, prosecutors told U.S. District Judge John G. Koeltl that Stewart's "egregious, flagrant abuse of her profession, abuse that amounted to material support to a terrorist group, deserves to be severely punished."
Stewart, in her letter to the judge, said she did not intentionally enter into any plot or conspiracy to aid a terrorist organization. She believes the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks made her behavior intolerable in the eyes of the government and gave it an excuse to make an example out of her.
"The government's characterization of me and what occurred is inaccurate and untrue," she wrote. "It takes unfair advantage of the climate of urgency and hysteria that followed 9/11 and that was relived during the trial. I did not intentionally enter into any plot or conspiracy to aid a terrorist organization."
Assistant U.S. Attorney Andrew Dember argued at her sentencing that the case had nothing to with Sept. 11.
"What she was doing was smuggling terrorism messages and smuggling out Abdel-Rahman's responses," Dember said.
About 150 Stewart supporters who could not get inside the capacity-filled courtroom stood outside the courthouse, chanting "Free Lynne, Free Lynne." Some 200 others jammed the hallways outside the courtroom.
"It's not just Lynn Stewart who is a victim, it's the Bill of Rights that's the victim," said Al Dorfman, 72, a retired lawyer who joined the crowd outside.
Meanwhile, as the jihad's stooges nattered, one of Stewart's accomplices got 24 years:
Stewart was arrested six months after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, along with Mohamed Yousry, an Arabic interpreter, and Ahmed Abdel Sattar, a U.S. postal worker. The indictment against them was brought by former Attorney General John Ashcroft in 2002.Koeltl sentenced Sattar to 24 years in prison. Convicted of conspiracy to kill and kidnap people in a foreign country, he could have been sentenced to life.
"I am not a violent person," Sattar said. "I am a human being. I am an America. I am a Muslim who practices and believes strongly in his religion."
I'm sure you are, Sattar.

Radioactive fish found in Connecticut River
MONTPELIER, Vt. — Vermont health officials say radioactive strontium-90 has been found in a fish sample taken from the Connecticut River 9 miles upstream from the Vermont Yankee nuclear plant.
William Irwin, the state's chief radiological health officer, said today that the sample was unusual in that the strontium-90 was found in the fleshy, edible portion of the smallmouth bass sample. Irwin says the substance more often turns up in fish bones.
Irwin says it's not certain whether the material came from Vermont Yankee or from atmospheric deposits left over from atomic-bomb testing in the 1950s and '60s or from the Chernobyl accident. He says it's unlikely it would have been from the Fukushima disaster so soon after that incident in Japan.
