Address by Mr. Ion Iliescu, President of Romania
The Assembly will now hear an address by the President of Romania.
On behalf of the General Assembly, I have the honour to welcome to the United Nations His Excellency Mr. Ion Iliescu, President of Romania, and to invite him to address the General Assembly.
Allow me at the outset to join others who have warmly congratulated you, Sir, on your election to the presidency of the General Assembly at this session. I wish you every success in your important undertaking, which will enjoy the full support of the Romanian delegation.
For some years now, this great worldwide gathering has opened in the wake of deadly terrorist attacks that require us to respond as one to voice strong condemnation of all terrorist acts and a commitment to contributing ever more energetically to the affirmation of effective multilateralism that will make global action increasingly effectual.
In that context, I cannot fail briefly to address the issue of the struggle against terrorism, which is more urgent today than ever before. Since September 2001, the level of violence of acts of terrorism -- perpetrated in the name of ideological, territorial, religious or ethnic differences and incompatibilities -- has risen dramatically.
At the same time, the very nature of terrorist acts has changed. The complexity and scale of such barbarism, claiming the lives of hundreds or even thousands of innocent victims -- often children, as in the recent incident in Beslan -- are indescribably grim and represent immense challenges. Yet another factor is at play in all this: the increase in the number of terrorist acts. In such conditions, the struggle against that scourge -- whose implications are not only immediate, but also complex and global in nature -- is an urgent and ongoing obligation for all States.
Romania promptly and meaningfully joined the anti-terrorism campaign and has demonstrated its resolve to contribute to eradicating it. We believe, however, that the struggle to end terrorism must also address its underlying causes, including poverty, and must not be used as a pretext for flouting or violating human rights. If that were to occur, we would be playing into the hands of the perpetrators of terrorist acts, who not only seek loss of life and devastation, but strive above all to destroy symbols and values. On the other hand, promoting respect for human rights and democratic values is the only way to eliminate such manifestations of hatred and violence.
The nature and, above all, the inherent dangers of the current international context make the development of cooperation among all kinds of international actors, State and non-State alike, increasingly urgent. As an Organization that is universal by vocation and in legitimacy, the United Nations must fully assume its role as the driving force behind efforts to adapt to changes in the international environment. In an interdependent world, no single State is safe from such dangers or from threats to international peace and security, including terrorism, the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, the increasing number of States affected by instability, the growth of global disparities, humanitarian crises, ethnic wars and intra-State wars.
Managing such risks requires a comprehensive and coherent approach on the part of the United Nations, including through the promotion of preventive political and diplomatic measures, such as the strengthening of international treaties and conventions on combating terrorism and the non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction; efforts to make international export control regimes and specialized international structures more effective; and, in extreme cases, recourse to coercive measures, in accordance with the United Nations Charter.
Our Organization has one strong and complex tool at its disposal in meeting such challenges. I refer to the Security Council, in which Romania is striving to make a real contribution to the maintenance of international peace and security and the establishment of a world climate of stability, with particular emphasis on fighting terrorism, preventing conflicts and humanitarian crisis situations, maintaining the unity of Council members and supporting consensus solutions, and encouraging cooperation on stabilization between the United Nations and regional organizations. With respect to that last issue, I would note that Romania has been and continues to be interested in cooperation between the global Organization and the regional and subregional pillars. Given the current international context, that is of major importance.
The need to speed up the reform of the United Nations is more urgent than ever. The series of challenges, more or less new, that the Organization has to face in the twenty-first century make its reform a priority if its structures and working methods are to adapt to the present realities. The terms of reference continue to be efficiency, adaptability and progress. Romania looks forward to the recommendations of the Secretary-General on the report of the eminent persons so that we may embrace, together with other States, a collective effort that cannot afford delay.
We hope that the sixtieth anniversary of the Organization's establishment will mark significant progress in the process of adapting the United Nations to the new challenges, and especially the Security Council, the essential body in the management of world peace and stability. Our relation to that organ, as a non-permanent member, increases our conviction that a new configuration, closely reflecting current realities by increasing the number of permanent and non-permanent seats, will consolidate the representative profile of the Security Council and thus its authority and efficiency.
I cannot ignore another aspect of our contemporary world. Both a source of challenges and a most generous framework for opportunities, the phenomenon of globalization is unavoidable and affects us all. Given its nature, the United Nations is ideally placed to manage the phenomenon, particularly by correcting its consequences.
In that context, Romania fully embraces the Global Compact Initiative of our Secretary-General, which needs support and strengthening. All Member States must promote regional and transcontinental integration as vehicles and instruments of a harnessed globalization. In this case, the European Union stands as a success story, since it acts as a vector not only of economic integration, but also of democratic values and human rights. The United Nations has to try to find ways to adjust the rules of the world market in order to diminish, in the medium and long terms, the big gaps that exist between the rich countries and the poor.
Another priority in our efforts to harness globalization is the need to enhance coordination among the specialized agencies and institutions of the United Nations system in their work to ensure the diffusion of information technology at a lower cost. We need to show more determination in our attempts to decrease the gaps in this field, and to guarantee the evolution of less developed countries from a state of marginalization to one catalysed by knowledge-based development.
Allow me to turn now to another essential factor for a better future, one that Secretary-General Kofi Annan also underlined in his introductory speech -- the rule of law. The validity of the principles of the Charter of the United Nations have not only withstood the test of time, but they have also been reaffirmed by a whole new network of international agreements, mandatory standards and norms of action to which States have voluntarily acceded, mechanisms for the peaceful settlement of disputes and monitoring commitments.
As a proof of our faith in the international law system, Romania appealed this year for the first time to the International Court of Justice -- the main judicial body of the United Nations -- to resolve a question of maritime delimitation. Romania also appealed to an international investigation commission to solve the case of an infrastructure works project with cross-border impact on the Bistroe Channel in the Danube Delta. Our appeal concerns the need for close collaboration in order to protect a unique and fragile place, a UNESCO world heritage site.
Our efforts towards an effective multilateralism also involve us in other major issues on the United Nations agenda. Romania has promptly joined, and substantially contributed to, international efforts for the stabilization and reconstruction of Afghanistan and Iraq, in keeping with its long history of participation in United Nations peacekeeping operations and the provision of assistance in post-conflict phases.
The global vocation and aspirations of my country are closely related to its European destiny. The focus of Romanian diplomacy is therefore oriented towards the democratic stabilization of our neighbouring region and its effective connection to a united Europe. For too long that region has been affected by wars and all kinds of tensions, often acute ones. Under such circumstances, Romania can only support, alongside all of Europe, a boost to democracy, economic development and a long-lasting stabilization of the countries in the region.
At the same time, Romania is ready to contribute to the stability and development of all countries in the Black Sea region. We hope to turn this strategic area -- with its close connections to other regions of immense potential, including the Mediterranean Basin, the Caucasus, Central Asia and the Middle East -- into a cooperation and security zone.
I cannot conclude without making a brief reference to another theme to which Romania attaches particular importance. My country strongly supports concerted action to prevent the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. In an international context that is often volatile and defined by a growing complexity and increased interdependence, we cannot ignore the necessity for immediate action, using the means offered by our global Organization, in particular the Security Council Committee established pursuant to resolution 1540 (2004).
On behalf of the General Assembly, I wish to thank the President of Romania for the statement he has just made.

First known footage of extraordinary desert creature
Monday 10 December 2007
ZSL releases the first known footage of the long-eared jerboa in the wild, an extraordinary mammal found in the deserts of Mongolia and China. The tiny creature looks like a mouse-sized kangaroo with enormous ears.
This endangered animal was filmed during a recent ZSL expedition to the Mongolian Gobi desert to track down and assess the species.
The long-eared jerboa is a small rodent that can be easily distinguished by its giant ears, which are about one third bigger than its head, and its legs, which are specially adapted for jumping like a kangaroo. Currently, the species is classified as Endangered on the IUCN Red List, with habitat disturbance the species' key threat. ZSL were privileged to film individual jerboas in their natural environment and study their behaviour. The species is one of those highlighted by ZSL's EDGE programme, which focuses its efforts on species that are Evolutionarily Distinct and Globally Endangered.
Dr Jonathan Baillie, ZSL Head of Field Conservation and leader of the expedition, commented, "The footage and images from this expedition really are extraordinary, and incredibly charming. The long-eared jerboa is a bit like the Mickey Mouse of the desert, cute and comic in equal measure. When people see ZSL's footage of this tiny threatened creature I am convinced they will want to get involved in its conservation. Unfortunately, it is just one of many amazing and unusual animals that are highly threatened but receiving little or no conservation attention''.
ZSL has recently appointed an in-country scientist (known as an EDGE fellow) who is studying the species' distribution, behaviour and ecology. The EDGE fellow is also investigating the threats facing the species and has already identified the emergence of the domestic cat as a newly introduced predator to their range as a significant danger. The results of this research are being used to formulate an Action Plan to effectively conserve the species.
You can follow the EDGE fellow's progress and see video footage of the Jerboa on the EDGE website

In-depth BiographyGuitarist/vocalist Matt Pike, bass player George Rice, and drummer Des Kensel formed High on Fire in 1999, following the collapse of Pike's previous band, doom metal titans Sleep. But while Sleep had built their fame on impossibly slothful tunes and copious weed consumption, High on Fire's first release, The Art of Self Defense, displayed a far more aggressive though still fantasy-themed style of heavy metal. Released to mildly enthusiastic reviews, the album's prospects suffered from label Man's Ruin imminent bankruptcy, and it wasn't until High on Fire landed on grindcore powerhouse Relapse Records for their second album, 2002's devastating Surrounded By Thieves, that their abundant promise was rewarded. Extensive touring and an ever-increasing fan base followed, so that by the time they unleashed their third release, Blessed Black Wings, in early 2005 (introducing new bassist Joe Preston [ex-Thrones and Melvins]), High on Fire had earned their place as one of the most widely respected heavy metal outfits on the planet. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia, All Music Guide

In narcolepsy, nighttime REM sleep is disturbed. The aspects of REM sleep are then displaced and sometimes they are experienced separately. This phenomenon is confusing to the patient and makes diagnosing narcolepsy difficult for the physician.
Main Aspects of REM Sleep
REM usually takes about 90 minutes to occur and lasts around 10 minutes. NREM or Non-Rapid Eye Movement sleep occurs before REM in normal healthy sleep cycles. In Narcolepsy, REM sleep can occur much faster, sometimes even as soon as the patient falls asleep. This is referred to as Sleep Onset REM or SOREM.
- Physical Sleep
During REM sleep, the body loses muscle tone and falls "asleep" It is slack and is completely relaxed.
- Mental Sleep
When unconsciousness is achieved, this is mental sleep. This aspect of sleep is the most widely used to define the act of sleeping.
- Dreams
REM or Rapid Eye Movement is an expression used to describe the physical marker for dreaming. Dreams occur when the body is in a complete sleep state.
- Vital Signs
Breathing and heart rate becomes erratic during REM sleep. Even though the major muscle groups are paralyzed, brain activity is heightened and vital signs reflect this activity.
Symptoms of Narcolepsy
As explained earlier, in narcolepsy, REM sleep is dysfunctional. The symptoms of narcolepsy have clear similarities to the normal aspects of REM sleep or are directly related to the disruption of REM sleep, as in the case of Excessive Daytime Sleepiness or EDS.
EDS is exactly what it sounds like, the patient experiences an excessive desire to sleep that tips the border into need. Narcolepsy patients do not sleep more than people with healthy sleep habits; they have interrupted nighttime sleep, or suffer from insomnia. EDS is the result of the bodies needs to make up for the loss of sleep.
People who experience EDS tend to fall asleep at unexpected and sometimes dangerous times, like while driving a car. EDS is not really random. It often occurs after meals or during times when there is little stimulation. Relaxed settings are the bane of the narcoleptic. EDS can be embarrassing for many patients, especially if the uncontrollable sleep attack strikes at a particularly inappropriate time like during a history lecture or while on a date at the movies.
A mild symptom of EDS can be treated with simple lifestyle changes such as adhering to stricter bedtimes scheduling daytime naps and dietary changes like lighter, more frequent meals.
When EDS is more severe, doctors may add stimulant drug therapies to the treatment. Drugs used to treat EDS are: Methylphenidate, Amphetamine, Modafinil or Selegiline. When drug treatment is necessary, lifestyle changes are still utilized to optimize the effects. When carefully managed, a person with EDS can generally enjoy a normal life.
- Cataplexy
The most common displaced aspect of REM sleep narcolepsy patients experience is the sudden and complete loss of muscle tone and control. Cataplexy is experienced by seventy percent of people with narcolepsy.
Cataplexy occurs when the patient experiences strong emotion. Anger and hearty laughter are reported as the biggest triggers for cataplectic episodes.
Narcolepsy with cataplexy can also have mild symptoms. Sometime the episode gets filed as "gee, I am clumsy today" or is a barely perceptible drooping of an eyelid. Cataplexy often affects the face and head. Sometimes a sudden loss of muscle control in the neck will cause the head to flop forward. It can be as fast as a few seconds and go unnoticed.
Cataplexy can also have severe episodes. During one of these attacks, a subject can lose complete control and collapse; it can last over an hour. An interesting aspect of cataplexy is that the person who suffers from it is completely alert and awake during the whole thing.
Sometimes, antidepressants are given for cataplexy, but the only drug that is approved by the FDA to treat the symptom of cataplexy gamma-hydroxybutyric acid (GHB). It is produced for theUSas sodium oxybate, and packaged under the brand name Xyrem.
Sodium Oxybate is a highly effective sedative and paradoxically, it is a stimulant at low doses. It is a highly controlled substance as it is a heavily abused chemical. It has been used as a date rape drug and as it stimulates the production of the human growth hormone, it is abused by body builders as well. It is, however, highly effective in the treatment of both EDS and cataplexy
- Sleep Paralysis
Like cataplexy, an episode of sleep paralysis affects muscle control and tone. Unlike cataplexy, Sleep paralysis is always complete paralysis, never partial. And it is not determined by strong emotion. Instead, sleep paralysis is experienced during the twilight between wake and sleep. And it is often accompanied by hallucinations.
Sleep Paralysis is not strictly a narcolepsy symptom. Anyone can experience sleep paralysis. Many people do have one or two episodes during their life. It is more common in youth. Narcoleptics that have sleep paralysis as a symptom experience it more regularly.
Antidepressants are sometimes effective treatment for sleep paralysis and so is sodium oxybate.
- Hallucinations
The experience of hallucinations makes narcolepsy a sometimes terrifying situation. Hallucinations can be experienced with other symptoms of narcolepsy or independent of them.
Hallucinations are like the waking dreams of REM sleep and in the case of sleep paralysis; they can appear dark and sinister giving the sufferer a feeling of detachment. Historically, hallucinations that were experienced during sleep paralysis would sometimes be misdiagnosed as paranormal occurrences such as possessions or out of body experiences.
Often, narcolepsy patients who suffer from hallucinations have a weak or unstable handle on reality. A misdiagnosis of schizophrenia is sometimes made when reality becomes hazy for the patient.
Disturbed REM sleep and narcolepsy disorder are found hand in hand in the sleep clinic and while several things can cause disturbed REM cycles, Narcolepsy is always affected by them.

Bunch of faggity shit stirrers here. Some are highly regarded. I won't name names publicly, but the ones in mind are way worse than any of these shitstains that stumbled over from SFN.
There is nothing wrong with having a different opinion, but to say the show is better than ever or that Beth is not a horse-faced, two bit model is a complete falsehood.
^ Here's Another . . .
^ And Another . . .
I listen to Howard Stern, despite it being in decline, its better than the heres the weather, heres the traffic heres the sports heres the news ad nasuem that makes up montreal radio.They are wound up robots and never cross the line, so no matter how bad the HSS gets it still is better than what I get here. As for SFN, I am down to peeking in once a month, and I don`t even remember my log in info since I got booted a year ago. I am happy to drown here in this site.

QMJHL Logo Pool
The London Knights won the OHL Tournament of Logos so it's on to the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League to complete the trifecta. Once we determine the best of the QMJHL, we'll have the champions from each of the CHL leagues compete for the Memorial Cup of logos, if you will. Below are the 18 logos that will be used in this tournament, which kicks off tomorrow.
There they are. I believe they're all accurate with one minor exception. I need an updated version of the new Montreal Junior logo. If you see any mistakes, let me know and I'll get my graphics updated. Enjoy the QMJHL Tournament of Logos!

Draft Day Challenge, May 7
Daily baseball is all the rage in the fantasy sports world, so I will be covering the game a couple of times a week here at BaseballGuys.com. To that end, I've partnered with DraftDay.com to give all my wonderful followers, that's you, the chance to play the game on a daily basis. On Tuesday and Thursday's here at the site, every week, I'll be giving you some insight into the mind of The Oracle as I will give you some of my best plays for the day – even if I'm willing to admit that daily games are a bit of a crap shoot given the difficulty in predicting how a handful of at-bats will work out. With that, here are some of the better plays for Tuesday.
To join a daily league remember to visit DraftDay.com by clicking on the link to their site.
One other source for those of you on Twitter.
@MLBDailyLineups – lists all the lineups in one spot so you can make sure you don't have someone in your lineup that is sitting on the bench that day.
1. Russell Martin
2. Wilson Ramos
Martin has gone 6-for-13 with a couple of RBIs against Aaron Harang. Martin's also hitting .308 the past week, and Harang is sporting an 8.68 ERA this season with the Mariners.
Ramos has five hits an a homer in 13 at-bats against Anibal Sanchez. He's only got four hits in 16 at-bats since he returned to action, so he's not exactly locked in.
1. Billy Butler
2. Garrett Jones
Butler has five hits in six at-bats against Wei-Yin Chen. Two of those hits are homers. He's also driven in four runs. The last week he's also started to hit a bit with a .286 average.
Jones has had no success against lefties, he basically sits against all of them, but he's done a fine job versus righties. He faces Aaron Harang whom he has six hits in 10 at-bats against, including a big fly.
1. Jedd Gyorko
2. Ryan Raburn
Gyorko is finally hitting after a bit of a slow start. Over the past week he's hit .370 with three homers, six RBIs and five runs scored. He faces the far from imposing Alex Sanabia Tuesday.
The AL's reigning Player of the Week, Raburn has hit .476 with two homers and six RBIs in his last 22 at-bats. He faces lefty Tommy Milone Tuesday night.
1. Chase Headley
2. Luis Valbuena
Headley is up to .299 thanks to an 11-game hitting streak, and he's driven in six runs in his last seven games. He's also batting .326 versus righties this season, a good thing since he faces Alex Sanabia who just so happens to be a righty.
Valbuena is your cheap play of the day. He's batting .286 against righties this season, and he's hitting .342 at home. He plays in Chicago Tuesday while taking on righty Lance Lynn.
1. Andrelton Simmons
2. Starlin Castro
Simmons takes on the Reds' Bailey, and he's streaking right now. Simmons is hitting .360 the past week, but even more impressive is the total of three big flies, seven RBIs and six runs scored. He's rolling.
.300′s abound. Castro is hitting .300 the last seven days. He's hitting .329 at home. He's batting .385 vs. Lance Lynn (5-for-13). He's pushed his average up to .277 on the season.
1. Nick Markakis
2. Matt Holliday
Markakis has enjoyed success against the hot Ervin Santana with a .294 average and 1.000 OPS in 34 at-bats. Markakis has also gone deep three times while driving in 10 runs against the righty.
Holliday is 6-for-18, a .333 average, with two bombs and four RBIs against Travis Wood. Holliday has always killed it against the Cubs with a .305 average and .877 OPS in 73 career games.
1. Matt Harvey
2. Anibal Sanchez
3. Tim Lincecum
4. C.J. Wilson
Harvey is 4-0 with a 1.56 ERA and 0.82 WHIP. Nothing bad to say about the young righty who is taking on the White Sox.
Sanchez is 8-0 with a 1.97 ERA against the Nationals In his career. The current Nationals club has also hit .195 with a .541 OPS against Sanchez in 195 at-bats.
Lincecum is 5-2 with a 3.00 ERA and 1.05 WHIP, not to mention 77 Ks in 75 innings, in 11 starts against the Phillies. He's also allowed just one homer, and seven runs, over his last three starts.
Wilson is 4-1 with a 3.38 ERA and two saves against the Astros. He also beat the club from Houston earlier this season with one run allowed over six innings on April 14th.

Day two of the London Menswear showcase was a day for established acts to prove their worth. Margaret Howell opened the day with her signature line of casualwear, this time with a sporty aesthetic which included berets and trackpants.
YMC followed, berets also present, we're not sure yet if this is a look that will catch on but who knows? People embraced the Onesie so all bets are off.
We jumped into the Twizy, fully charged and headed to our high point of the day; Jonathan Saunders, whose line of printed shirts and sweaters in 1970s inspired shades of mustard, orange and turquoise in wood grain patterns with a hint of psychedelia continued to wow the crowds. Good model line up too.
Richard James wowed for his location alone, held in the newly refurbished Café De Paris on Regent Street, the gilded ceilings didn't distract though from the amazing tailoring on display, watched intently by a discerning front row which included David Gandy, Tinie Tempah, Oliver Cheshire and the very hunky (though covered up in a suit) Alex Pettyfer. We dragged our eyes away long enough to appreciate the country gent suits, matchy matchy knits and hats.
Despite the traffic, our Twizy navigated into the smallest of parking spaces and we dashed into the Christopher Shannon show. We loved his collection, which featured puffa jackets, shirts and jumpers in navy and brown hues. Our highlight was the face printed jumpers. This season even featured a touch of womenswear too just to keep us on our toes.
We found time to scoot over to Mr Porter's pop-up showroom off Oxford Street to celebrate their collaborations with some of London's hottest young designers; Matthew Miller, Katy Eary, Richard Nicoll and Sibling have all collaborated with the website on a capsule collection which is available now. Though our Twizy stole a little bit of their limelight for a few minutes, with the models leaving their posts momentarily to clamber aboard.
The day ended with Sibling and James Long, two designers who have embraced a bit of knitwear. Sibling went oversized in black and pink whereas James Long mixed copper and bronze tones with black and featured flamingo prints on sweaters and a great Kurt Geiger shoe collab.

Comment posted ARSN submission to Rural Education Commission by Simon.
Crazy, actually compared to some of the pontificating mogadon mush I've read on here from Newsie, "doc" and others – it was positively enthralling…
Simon also commented
- Crazy – as promised I read it. I'm not really suprised at anything that has been mentioned in the submissiomn and given that is from a self-interested group it was fairly neutral in tone, fairly well-argued however, it really was going over similar ground that we've seen rehearsed on these pages ad nauseum.
I'm not going to ooffer a point by point analysis or try to score points (though I did found some comments interesting – Councils should not be allowed to make financial savings – I though was simplistic and given the state of the economy pleading to be treated as a special case brings it own dangers – anyway I thought there were no savings to be made??)
In general I 'm not sure that the tactic of trying to by-pass the eudcation authority and have the HMIs' role enhanced will help protect rural schools. I would suggest you should be careful what you wish for. HMIs are better placed than any individual local authority to bring counter-arguments and evidence from across Scotland/UK and purely because they have no investment or involvement or constituency in Argyll and Bute they are pretty much immune to the type of demo that I saw you folks put on at Kilmory.
I know you want to hear this but I genuienly believe that if ARSN network put more of its efforts into meeting with and working the local authority rathe rthan trying to by-pass it – it would reap rewards.
The real difficulty is that at a time when every service is under scrutiny, under-resourced and being cut (in real terms) the majority of the population (ie those non ARSN people) I think (and I could be wrong) are much more intersted in social care issues, roads, libraries etc.
Finally, I'm not convinced that Mike Russell is the great saviour of rural schools that some think he is. Whilst he admitted the legislation was flawed and not working the way they wanted it didn't stop him using the same legislation when he agreed to shut two schools. I know most of you welcomed him setting up the Commission – but don't be surprised if he uses the opportunity afforded by the Commission to do to rural schools what he is doing presently to FE colleges.
- Hi Tim, "the decision to close Hillhead school, which (I agree with you) looks pretty awful" at least we agree on something.
I have tried ploughing through your submission but got bored.
However, a promise is a promise so as I said to Crazy – I will try again.
- Crazy – Now —- you be nice!
OK I promise I shall read the submission and share my thoughts.
As far as the SNP are concenred – these pages were full of articles pre-budget about how inmprotant it was and how unfair Tricky was behaving. Since then? Nothing……
Not one article on why did the SNP group rebelled against their leader? (Do you know?) Why did First Argyll and Robb also vote for Trick Dicky??
I've said before that FA behaves like little more than a SNP propagana machine – I think this proves it. The SNP group vote with Dick Walsh and its not reported on here???????
ps What about SNP Mike Russell's decison on Hillhead?? Disgraceful in my opinion.
- In my dreams Anne?? Well how come Big Robert and Isobel were deserted by the snp cannon-fodder when it came to the vote on the Council's budget??
The budget as Newsie would say is the most impoortant document (you blethered on a bit about its importance yourself Anne) So how come the SNP apart form the Robert and Isobel voted with their arch-nemisis Dick Walsh?
Or didn't you know?????? - Doh *important* – but thanks for asking Anne…
You part of the SNP group split then?
Recent comments by Simon
- Audit Scotland get the message and nail the council's deception on Castle Toward affair
Which part of 'to the extent of its agreed remit' do you muppets not understand?Seriously.
Can ANYBODY point me to where the statement was an exercise in deception?
Or am I missing something here??
Or is this yet another missive from the 'we-know-what-we-want-to-believe-so-don't-confuse-us-with-facts' numpties??
- Salmond judgment under question in second deception on EU membership
I expect to see much, much, more of this "oh yes he did", and "oh no didn't", between now and the referendum.Accusation and counter-accusation will descend upon us like a plague from God.
Somehow we, the voters, will have to cut through this froth and vote with both our heads and our hearts. At least I now know, warts and all, what the vision is for independence – what I don't know is what the vision is for continued membership of the UK: other than more of the same – erosion of public services, gaping inequality and the UKIP/Tory baying to leave Europe. The Lib-Dems are almost irrelevant whilst Labour have not in any way set the heather on fire national nor presented appealing, realistic alternatives.
- Walsh briefing to councillors on Castle Toward misleads and manipulates
" Anyone remember Integrity suggesting that Cllr Morton would close schools to increase the number of taxi runs and thus benefiting the family firm? Or apologising for being hasty, malacious and wrong. No I didn't think so".There, sorted that for you Integrity. No thanks necessary.
- Walsh briefing to councillors on Castle Toward misleads and manipulates
Barmore 2 " No surprises there then".And no evidence either….
- Walsh briefing to councillors on Castle Toward misleads and manipulates
awsnews – I agree 100%. Too many people on here want to believe the worst – and don't really give a monkey's about the evidence or whether it's true or not.Leaving that thread up would have served as reminder to those rash enough to condemn without any evidence whatsoever. a

I always am intrigued by wedding traditions.
Last weekend, I learned of a new wedding tradition at Kris and Kristine's wedding held at The Cliff House in Manitou Springs.
In Kristine's home country of Latvia, the bride and groom attach a lock with an inscription to the railing on the bridge, and throw the key in the river or creek below. The tradition is said to symbolize everlasting love as the lock can never be removed without the key, and thus bringing the couple good luck throughout their marriage. I learned later this tradition is popular in Russia and China.
On their way to the bridge, Kris and Kristine passed by an group of street musicians who serenaded the newly married couple with their version of Needtobreathe's, "Stones Under Rushing Water". After listening to the lyrics, this couldn't have been a better choice. Not only with the reference to the rushing water and stones under the bridge, but more importantly, the song reminds us, always appreciate what you have while you still have it and survive a rough time by remembering a love that is fresh and new. Thanks to this talented group of musicians for creating an extra special memory for Kris and Kristine on their wedding day.

This hostel is very nice and we found it very clean; The rooms are very very little but nice. Its location, 5 minute walking to Gamla Stan metro station make it a good choose if you want to visit The city easily. If you pay an extra you can get a quite good breakfast, not a wide choose of food... More

"It thrills me when my young children pick up their iDevices and enjoy them, without asking for help, or need of a manual. To me that says it in a nutshell. The other day a friend mocked my iPad, "its a toy", you know why they say this, because its so easy t use, hence they get confused.
But hang on are not computers meant to be hard to use, this is serious stuff we are using, don't let your 7 year old touch it, they will break it.
So I think that the greatest accomplishment of Apple is that it has given computers to the masses, simple and elegant to use, underneath, amazing technology, much of it, leading-edge."
Well said!
I have been saying this to friends since the 80s and it seems now in the 21st century that the Apple 'vision' which the Steves dreamed of and strived towards from the 70s onwards, is finally coming true on a global scale, albeit not with the Mac as the champion product. Sure, it's a matter of choice and always has been, but too many people credit Bill Gates and Windows for the OS revolution forgetting the history of Windows origins. Also often forgotten is the simple reality that new computer users, such as children and the elderly are baffled by non-Apple approaches to user interaction and operating systems, in particular Windows. I like many others benefitted from using Apple computers through school and then university, choosing to ignore the awful Windows PCs that gathered dust in the corner, only to join the workforce and be forced to use Windows in the enterprise, which results in frustration and confusion until you decipher the non-user friendliness of the whole operation.
Sure, Windows has improved dramatically with the arrival of Windows 7, their most Apple like OS ever, but it has taken an apparent eternity to get there from the promises and hype of Windows 95.
Traditionally, non-Apple OSs make no logical sense to the new user, only to the Administrators who do it for a living or a time consuming hobby or both. It doesn't need to be like that, and it never has, but it has taken a quarter of a century and a number of revolutionary products for people to start realising this.
It is also interesting that many companies continue to dismiss Apple because of their "integrated" approach, prefering the so called "open" approach that Windows and now Android champions. But the end result is neither engages or provides any great benefit to the end user, and it is so easy to forget that end users make up 99% of the population, not administrators. Just my two cents.
Thanks for the comment on my post.
Yes, what you also wrote is too true, but slowly, although gathering much pace, the worm turns, and it is Apple leading the way.
I have to use a PC at work, here is how a typical days goes by:
1. Boot up (with a few minutes)
2. Okay, Outlook is down for the zillionith time, re-boot
3. Still down, notify help desk, "yes we know there is a proble, looking into it:
4. Communicator is down, when its not, get missed calls, ghosts at the other end
Maybe I'm holding the receiver wrong lol !
5. If I'm call that week, I lug the wonderful brilliant and amazing Dell laptop home
"Dad why are you bringing that piece of crap (our code for PCs) into our home ? The kids ask
6. It takes 5 mins and 7 secs to boot the Dell (my 10 year old G4 takes 15 secs) and my
5 year old MBP takes about 45 secs, go figure ?
I HATE everything M$, why ? Because they make garbage its that simple, and most people are sucked into a vacuum of zero class, poor design, crappy quality, non-existant support, and an OS that was devised by a person in a straight jacket.
I'm am SO HAPPY when I can use my Macs, the same sentiment from my high school son, as the school mainly has PCs that either don't work, or are so full of M$ rot, that they need to be thrown out. Why oh why are schools in Australia purchasing windoze machines, when Macs are MUCH cheaper over time. No windoze rot, no viruses, better security, brilliant UI, robust design - perfect for kids, elegant, ease of use, hold their resell value much better, and last far longer than PCs. I am still amazed and frustrated with schools.


text: So I just started weight training again recently over the past couple weeks. Monday of this week I increased my weights by whatever appropriate increments. (Dumbbells 7.5 to 10lbs, leg press 110 to 130lbs, etc) it's been two days and I am still kinda sore. I feel up for a workout but I'm afraid of ruining my progress by another session of weights while not feeling fully recovered. I also am trying to keep a consistent agenda with the gym so if weights are not a good idea any other suggestions?

Filling a Hertz bus tank with Redeem, a fuel made from rotting organic material, in Los Angeles.
California's Clean Energy Fuels has just announced that they have begun the sale of a car fuel made with methane that they source from landfill sites. It's already projected to do remarkably well; the company expects to sell 15 million gallons of Redeem biogas in California this year at 40 filling stations as well as to a customer base that includes SuperShuttle and Hertz.
The primary benefit of landfill-sourced methane is that we don't have to frack for it—thus no irradiated rivers or unexpected earthquakes caused by its production. But it turns out there are other environmental benefits too: Clean Energy's CEO explained to the nytimesthat "Redeem can burn 90 percent cleaner than diesel."
Additionally, the removal of methane gas from landfill does have some impact on reducing the gas's significant environmental impact. Methane is the second most prevalent source of human-driven greenhouse gas emissions, and landfill sites are the third-largest source of those emissions. Furthermore, because of the source of the gas, it counts as a renewable source of energy.

Principal - Van Buren Middle School (Van Buren, OH)
I began my career teaching instrumental music. While taking one of my first administrative master's courses, I did a research project on middle grades philosophies and this ignited my passion for middle grades education.
I am lucky to be principal in a small middle school in Northwest Ohio - roughly 250 students in grades 6-8. I am lucky to be able to continue teaching a 6th grade general music course. I have enjoyed working with our staff, students, and community in establishing outdoor education with our 7th graders, a 1:1 computing program for all students, a Washington, D.C. experience for our 8th graders, and student-led parent conferences each November... all while I am a husband and father of four!

FrizzyComb Attachment ProblemThis is a great travel dryer. It is powerful and compact, BUT it has an oval-shaped opening, which creates a problem if you need a comb attachment. It comes with a concentrator attachment, but if you need a comb attachment, you are out of luck. I bought it with the thought that I could use a "universal" comb attachment. Later, I discovered that "universal" attachments work only with round openings. Now I need to buy another travel dryer.posted May 8, 2008Link to this post

In airsoft we have something called a minimum engagement distance(M.E.D. for short). This is a distance where using the gun is deemed safe to all the participants on the field. This player was shot from an airsoft gun which required a 100ft MED. The shot was made from significantly less than that, resulting in a torn nose. Obey the rules and things like this don't happen.2013-01-26 Torn nose 20130126torn noseairsoftpotdpentaxadam montoyaalex kairsoft new mexicooak flats paintballblood

Just a test photo
So I was sitting in bed, getting ready to fall asleep. It dawned on me that I really wished I had off camera HSS. Now I know i can can trigger more advanced flashes by using my flash in a master slave mode, and flashes will communicate as the shutter is moving. That is nice and all, but I have an investment in lower cost flashes (except for my Sigma EF-500 DG Super). Then it dawned on me; my Sun Pak 622 Pro Super has a guide number of 200 @ 100 iso. The light from the Sunkpak seems to take a while to die off. My thought was that my Sigma EF-500 could trigger the SunP Pak while in HSS mode @ 1/4000 of a second. I have a wein peanut slave connected to the 622. I composed a shot (still in my bed), hit the shutter and bam, i get this photo. Well i took a photo right before this one, with just the Sigma. I had the Sigma aimed away from the subject so it did not light the fan at all. So this photo is lit completely with an off camera optically triggered 622 Super.

Back to the Future is my favorite movie so you would think I would like this game, and I fully expected to. But as I played more I noticed I wasn't laughing much and missions began to feel like a chore.
The game plays a lot like the original Grand Theft Auto (for the PS1), which I also didn't find very engaging. Ultimately I think YMMV, and this just didn't have the same smileread more factor that I got from games like Double Dragon Neon.
For reference I'm 32, which seems to be right in the middle of the target audience for this.

80s childhood. Play RCR and you will remember all the good days again.
The game itself works flawlessly on a netbook (despite of little black borders) and the game itself is only 28MB small. Not as small as Grandtheftendo would be on an NES cartridge, but damn small for a "new" game!
RCR is retro gaming at its best: Plenty of challenges, 2D-GTA gameplay, tons of references (Backread more to the Future, Star Wars,...) and a hell of a fun game! $15 is a bigger amount then it spend usually, but in this case, every little penny was worth it!

Review: DLO TransDock Deluxe
One of our favorite in-car iPod FM transmitters just got better. The DLO TransDock Deluxe ($129) improves on last year's TransPod by adding video output, a USB charging port, a remote control, and a more attractive design.
Make no mistake, the DLO TransDock Deluxe is not your typical puny iPod FM transmitter.

Lately, I have been obsessed with picnics...pictures of yummy food and beautifully packed baskets are swirling around my brain. Maybe it was the long winter with 2 {!!!} snowstorms in May or what...but I am dreaming of summer picnics with my family.
I love this picnic with the tartan picnic blanket, the lovely wicker basket and the dainty food.
The wine sure looks good too.
This would make a nice backyard picnic for friends. The food is already set up for serving.
Every picnic needs a well-packed cooler with frozen ice packs.
This picnic is a feast of yummy-looking salads with a sweet.
This picture came for the amazing Sophistimom. This old-fashioned picnic included a basket for each child with drinks, food and a goody packed inside.
I am hoping for a beautiful, sunny day tomorrow so we can spend some time on our boat.
I am determined to make our first picnic lunch of the summer.
It will include:
Our family's favorite 'picnic' sandwich. I will share the recipe when it's made!
Crunchy chips...we like Miss Vicki's.
Fresh fruit.
Homemade brownies.
Chilled Pellegrino lemonades.
