William Hague has warned "time is of the essence" as he holds emergency talks with key international figures over the Syrian chemical attack that is claimed to have left 1,300 dead.
The Foreign Secretary is meeting United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon, US Secretary of State John Kerry and Qatar's foreign minister. They are pressing Bashar Assad's regime to allow UN weapons inspectors already in the region to inspect the site of the deadly attack on the outskirts of Damascus.
Mr Hague wrote on Twitter: "Urgent discussions today with UN Secretary General, Secretary Kerry and FM of Qatar on #Syria chemical attacks. We are pressing for immediate access for the UN team and consulting allies on response to this terrible atrocity. Time is of the essence. Every day without UN access is a day in which evidence can deteriorate or be hidden by those responsible."
US president Barack Obama said officials were gathering information about the attack which is said to have involved rockets loaded with toxic agents, telling CNN: "What we've seen indicates that this is clearly a big event of grave concern. It is very troublesome."
The United States has called on the Syrian government to allow a UN investigation of the site of the attack but fears that is unlikely.
"We don't expect co-operation (from the Syrian government), given their past history," the president said.
Asked whether the US government is facing a "more abbreviated time-frame" on key decisions in Egypt and Syria, the president replied "yes". He said: "We have to think through strategically what's going to be in our long-term national interests."
Russia, which has vetoed past attempts to secure a tough UN resolution and suggested the attack could be "premeditated provocation" by opposition forces, has called for UN experts to be allowed to inspect the attack site. Foreign minister Sergey Lavrov and Mr Kerry agreed they had a "mutual interest" in calling for the UN investigation during a telephone conversation, a statement released by the Russian interior ministry said.
Britain formally wrote to Mr Ban on Thursday with 36 other countries, calling for the UN team to be given access to the site. A team of UN weapons inspectors is in Syria but only has permission to visit specific locations. The regime has dismissed as "baseless" claims it was behind the latest incident.
Unverified footage of casualties, including children, in makeshift hospitals suffering convulsions and breathing difficulties has circulated on YouTube. Accounts of the death toll vary wildly from around 100 to the claim by the Syrian National Coalition, the main opposition group in exile, that 1,300 were killed. The group said it was basing its claim on accounts and photographs by activists on the ground.

Artist Douglas "Doug" Drexler (born 28 March 1953; age 60) has been creating or contributing to numerous Star Trek productions and publications since the 1970s. Starting out in fandom, Drexler has proven to be one of the most versatile production staffers in the Star Trek franchise.
Beginnings as fanEdit
Born in New York City, Drexler was a first-generation Star Trek fan - although he was prohibited from watching television on school nights, Drexler managed to watch "This Side of Paradise", and subsequently to persuade his parents to allow him an hour's viewing a week, for Star Trek.
Drexler, along with Ron Barlow, ran a small Star Trek store in Manhattan, New York - "The Federation Trading Post" - during the mid-1970s. [X]wbm Although failing initially, the store became more well-known after advertising during Original Series syndication, eventually becoming a focus for media contact about Star Trek. Drexler and Barlow were approached by Paradise Press to edit one of the first Star Trek magazines, the Star Trek Giant Poster Book. [X]wbm It was through the store that Drexler met and befriended frequent collaborator Geoffrey Mandel, with whom he compiled one of the first technical reference works in Trek history: the USS Enterprise Officer's Manual, as well as Anthony Fredrickson, with whom he would author the Star Fleet Medical Reference Manual.
It was during this period in time that Drexler and Mandel made up their mind that they would work for the Star Trek franchise one day , as Mandel recalled, "Back in 1979, Doug Drexler and I were probably the two biggest Star Trek fans in New York City. We knew that Star Trek: The Motion Picture was being filmed, and we knew we had to be a part of it, so we took time off from work and school to fly to L.A. and do our best to sneak onto the sound stages of Paramount. Of course, we had no connections, barely a place to stay, and only by sheer chutzpah did we finally manage to get onto the lot, tiptoe upstairs to the Star Trek art department (ironically, the same room I worked in for two years on Voyager), and talk to some of the designers, including Mike Minor and Lee Cole. What was probably a routine meeting for them with two Trek geeks was a decisive moment in my career, and Doug's-we suddenly realized that there was actually a PAYING JOB for people like us, who liked to design spacecraft and draw little diagrams of ray guns. I can remember coming back home to New York and telling my mother that I finally knew what I wanted to do with my life, and she had a good laugh when I said it was to work in science fiction art departments. Who could possibly make a living at that?!" [1]
Drexler also contributed as co-writer of two Gold Key TOS comics issues, "This Tree Bears Bitter Fruit" (#47) and "Sweet Smell of Evil" (#48). On issue #47, he is credited as a Story Consultant.
Professional careerEdit
Drexler began working as a makeup artist in 1983 on the movie The Hunger, having been invited to do so by renowned makeup artist, Dick Smith. His other early work included Manhunter and Fatal Attraction.
After engaging in a long correspondence with Robert Justman and Michael Westmore during preproduction of Star Trek: The Next Generation, only to be unable to get a position on the series due to union rules, Drexler moved to Hollywood in 1990 to work on Dick Tracy (being made a member of the LA Union by Warren Beatty), for which he later won an Academy Award. Dick Tracy featured many Star Trek alumni in the cast: Colm Meaney, John Schuck, Ian Wolfe, Seymour Cassel, Hamilton Camp, Chuck Hicks, Mike Hagerty, Robert Costanzo, Ed McCready, Bert Remsen, Walker Edmiston and Michael J. Pollard.
Star Trek affiliationEdit
Now able to work in California, Drexler approached Westmore to reapply for a position in the Next Generation make-up department. Westmore, incredulous at first that an Academy Award winner would want to work as a lesser paid makeup artist for a television show (though Westmore himself was one), hired him. Later friend and co-worker, Michael Okuda, too, was impressed that an Academy Award winner decided to work on a television show, "(...) It was I who was honored to meet this Academy Award-winning artist. He did me – and Star Trek – a huge favor when he said he was interested in working in the Art Department. I already knew of his talent, but I was impressed that he offered to take a huge pay cut to work with us." [X]wbm Drexler's first assignment was putting on the Shakespeare makeup on Patrick Stewart for TNG: "The Defector". (The Official Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Magazine, issue 11, p. 53) Drexler continued to work as a make-up artist for three years, earning him two Emmy nominations.
Happy as Drexler was, working on Star Trek, he has professed that, "(...)the art department was calling to me and that's really where I wanted to be." He struck up a friendship with Michael Okuda, whom he admired, and kept in touch with him and his Scenic Art department, waiting for an opportunity to move over. That opportunity came when Star Trek: Deep Space Nine went into production and Okuda hired him, eventually becoming the lead scenic artist on the series. A grateful Drexler recalled, "Looking through the trade paper, Variety, I saw that Paramount had made up their minds and they were going to do Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. I got on the phone right away to Mike Okuda, who really stuck out his neck for me, and that's how it happened!" (The Official Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Magazine, issue 11, p. 54)
After the Deep Space Nine series wrapped, Drexler moved over as a visual effects (VFX) artist to Foundation Imaging, for whom he worked on Star Trek: Voyager, the only time during his Star Trek years he was not directly employed by Paramount. While still employed at Foundation, he was asked in 2000 to break the stalemate on the design of the new "hero" ship, Enterprise NX-01, for the upcoming series Star Trek: Enterprise. Starting to design a prototype CGI model under the erroneous impression that it would just be a quick mock-up, He found himself in a months long, unpaid, high pressure workload that took up most of his spare time, as he was at the time still fully employed at Foundation. (Star Trek: The Magazine Volume 2, Issue 10, pp. 25-26) Drexler's dogged determination to bring the project to successful fruition, solicited an accolade of high praise from Michael Okuda, "That's dedication, but that's what Doug brings to every project. And it earned him a place among such luminaries as Jefferies, Probert, Sternbach, Eaves, Taylor, Zimmerman, and James." [X]wbm However, Drexler was rewarded for his stressful assignment by his subsequent position as Senior Illustrator on the new series, back in the employ of Paramount one year later.
During his tenure as scenic artist on Deep Space Nine, Drexler taught himself the Adobe Illustrator software which served him well in providing the technical illustrations for the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Technical Manual and Star Trek Encyclopedia. He went on to master the CGI LightWave 3D software as well, the build of the Breen warship for DS9: "Penumbra" being his first contribution in this format for the franchise. (Star Trek: The Magazine Volume 1, Issue 7, p. 50) Actually, the fact that Drexler had been learning how to build CGI models in LightWave while working on Voyager at Foundation Imaging, was instrumental in his invitation to participate in the design process for the NX-class for Enterprise. (Star Trek: Communicator issue 136, p. 32) Being an Original Series fan, Drexler might otherwise have been a consideration for the producers not to employ him, as friend and co-worker Mandel reiterated, "When they started Enterprise, they made a conscious decision to bring in some new blood, and not just round up the usual suspects; but in practice, it meant that fans like Rick Sternbach, Tim Earls and myself weren't asked back. However, a number of fans who had worked on DS9 and had been taking an extended leave of absence came back when Enterprise started, so the total number of Star Trek fans stayed about the same." [2]
While Drexler worked for the live action franchise, he co-authored and illustrated the Manual, and illustrated the second and third editions of the Encyclopedia. His mastery of the LightWave software, aside for his regular work for televised Star Trek, also served him well, when he was asked by Pocket Books to provide (CGI) covers for several of their novels, most notably the covers of the Star Trek: Vanguard series. (Star Trek Magazine issue 162, pp. 82-84), as well as becoming a contributor and editor of the popular Ships of the Line calendars.
In 2013, Drexler and Andrew Probert designed the new Deep Space 9 station for the cover of the Star Trek: The Fall novel Revelation and Dust.
Post-Star Trek careerEdit
Following his tenure in the Star Trek franchise, Drexler subsequently worked as VFX CG Supervisor on Ronald D. Moore's successful Battlestar Galactica franchise (two VFX Emmy wins), its short lived prequel series, Caprica, and the more recent Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome (2012) direct-to-DVD movie. Drexler acted as a technical consultant for the Remastered Original Series. Credited under the pseudonym "Max Rem" (occasionally also used in the Ships of the Line-calendars), as well as under his own name, Drexler also volunteered to work on the fan made internet series Star Trek: New Voyages (2004-2007). He worked as visual effects artist, executive producer, make-up artist, casting director, and editor on the series and wrote the story for the episode "In Harms Way". Drexler's most recent employment was a CGI supervisor for Syfy's 2013 science fiction television series Defiance.
Drexler is married to Enterprise food stylist Dorothy Duder.
The Drex FilesEdit
To disseminate all the knowledge he had accumulated over the the years to fellow Star Trek fans, Drexler started his internet blog, the DrexFileswbm on 14 December 2008. For four years running, a large amount of behind-the-scenes information was posted on this blog, providing an intimate look into all production aspects of Star Trek productions set in the prime universe, with most of its contents not available anywhere in print. Over the four following years, Drexler's blog has amassed a large following; not only fans participated in his blog but former VFX production staff colleagues, such as Brandon MacDougall, Robert Bonchune, Adam Buckner, Dana White Shea, and many more, contributed to his blog too. The more prominent production staff contributors to Drexlers' blog were Rick Sternbach, Michael Okuda and Andrew Probert, who provided a considerable amount of additional information. Activity on the blog had considerably slackened off from 2012 onward though.
The "DrexFiles" proved to be an inspiration for the companion site of John Eaves, who started his likewise successful blog, Eavesdropping with Johnny, on 16 March 2009. He stated on that occasion, "I have to thank the ever and all talented master of media and VFX illusionist, Doug Drexler, for encouraging me to get off my fat butt and finally start a fun blog page!!! I have always wanted to have place to share the fun and adventures of those glorious movie and Star Trek days with friends, coworkers and fans of the films and shows..." [3]
The blog was taken down in early March 2013, due to perceived copyright infringements put forward by former VFX colleagues. Drexler stated the following on his Facebook page, "You know how I brand all the images I post with Drex Files. Several of my VFX colleagues took exception to that. They felt I was claiming credit for it all by doing that. I received a couple of angry notes that were upsetting. I felt the best thing was to off-line it for now. My intention was never to steal credit, in fact I felt like I was promoting everyone's work. Drex Files regulars know that I note credits for work whenever I have the info, and if I don't, I appeal to the audience to speak up if they know something about it. So for now, the Drex Files is dark, at least until I have a chance to think about it and review it." [4]
TNG: "Transfigurations" | ENT: "These Are the Voyages..." |
Drexler has made two cameo appearances as a Starfleet officer. Upon starting work on Star Trek, he asked if he could appear as a background artist, in uniform, at some point. His wish was granted in the third season episode "Transfigurations", where he appeared as a command division Enterprise-D officer in several scenes set in Ten Forward. He also appeared in "These Are the Voyages..." as an Earth Starfleet ceremony attendee.
Perhaps not coincidentally, his name has been used referring to two Starfleet personnel, D. Drexler and Doug Drexler, on dedication plaques in the same time periods.
In addition, Drexler had a Klingon character named after him - Drex, the son of Martok and Sirella, who appeared in "The Way of the Warrior".

For years, I've been fighting sleep. I'm not a morning person, and although I can be exhausted by 6 p.m., once 9 p.m. comes around, I'm wide awake and eager to work.
Phoenix is an early town, and I'm not serving myself by going to bed at 2 a.m. I might get work done at night, but I usually exercise in the morning, and by the time I do my three-mile walk, eat breakfast, and get ready, the prime morning hours have a serious chunk out of them.
I've tried going to bed early, but I simply don't want to. I want to finish something, start something, read, but not sleep. Even though I'm sleepy enough to drop off in about 15 minutes once I go to bed. I'm still fighting sleep, even when I'm tired.
Warm milk, chocolate, no TV–all for nothing. But I've finally hit the right note.
Part of the success in getting to bed and to sleep is the same way I get to my work in the morning: ritual. If you do a set of actions, the rest of your body knows what to do. At 10 p.m., I stop working on whatever it is, no matter how wonderful. I've had to set an alarm to do this, but luckily, my iPhone helps with that. At 10 p.m. I pick up my latest hobby–knitting–and put on an audio book. It's not a educational book, just easy fiction. I call it "the potato chip of the mind." It's distracting and interesting enough so I want to listen. For half an hour I knit and listen, literally, to my bedtime story. At 10:30, at a pause in the CD, I get up, mark down where I stopped listening, and go to bed.
I've made the ritual a bit easier as well. After supper, before I start my evening work routine, I take off my makeup, wash my face, and brush my teeth. This part of the routine usually wakes me up if I do it too late at night. And brushing my teeth keeps me from snacking our of boredom.
Listening to a story and knitting something without a complicated pattern helps me wind down. Like a kid fighting sleep, I'm not ready for bed, but with the ritual, it's much easier.

Judge to weigh settlement in Schnucks date breach suit
A settlement may be near in the class action lawsuit against Schnucks supermarkets stemming from a security breach that compromised more than 2 million customer credit and debit cards. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that the judge will decide in the coming weeks if the deal Schnucks has agreed to is satisfactory.
But an attorney pursuing a federal lawsuit over the matter is asking the court to throw out the settlement, claiming it's unfair because proper discover hasn't been done and the full scope of the damages to Schnucks customers isn't known. Attorney's involved in the local case deny that.
Hackers breached the grocery chain's security between December 2012 and March 2013.
Schnucks bakery case goes before MO high court today
Are the cookies and loaves of bread baked inside a Schnucks Supermarket sold for immediate consumption in the same way as those sold at a restaurant or convenience store? That's the question the Missouri Supreme Court will have to answer in a case that begins today.
Schnucks is asking the high court to allow the company to take advantage of a 2007 utility sales tax refund law. The Department of Revenue says a bakery that creates goods "for sale directly to the public or through retailers" is eligible, but goods baked at a restaurant and sold for immediate consumption are not.
Last year, the court found two Casey's stores were not eligible for tax refunds on the energy used to bake donuts and pizza bites they sold in individual servings. But Schnucks argues that it isn't the same thing since there's no evidence Schnucks bakeries are restaurants.
Schnucks HQ worker charged with stealing $111,000
ST. LOUIS (AP) — A University City woman who worked in the accounting department at Schnucks headquarters in Maryland Heights faces felony theft charges for allegedly stealing more than $111,000 from the supermarket chain.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that 35-year-old Lolita Martin was charged with removing money from a cash box at the company's main offices. Martin was responsible for overseeing the box, which was used to provide change for the company cafeteria.
The company fired Martin in May amid an internal investigation. Defense attorney Mark Fredman declined comment but said his client plans to plead not guilty
Another bank inside grocery store robbed
A possible serial bank robber may be targeting banks inside area grocery stores.
Richmond Heights Police say a man held up the US Bank inside the Schnucks Store on Clayton Road about 6:30 Tuesday evening. Police said the suspect showed the teller a threatening note demanding money and walked out of the store with an unknown amount of cash.
The suspect is described as a white man, 5'6" to 6' with a thin build.
Police believe the man may also be responsible for robbing the First Bank inside a Brentwood Dierberg's on Saturday.
Schnucks calls lawsuit "meritless" over credit card hacking
The cost of the massive payment card hack that hit the Schnucks supermarket chain in recent months could cost the company $80 million in Illinois alone.
Court records show Schnucks wants to move an Illinois lawsuit related to a security breach affecting credit and debit cards of its customers to a federal court.
Schnucks has said the breach of up to 2.4 million cards dated to December and came to light in March. The company said the lawsuit filed against them on behalf of a Belleville shopper is meritless.
Doris Schnuck dies; matriarch of grocery store chain
The matriarch of the Schnucks' grocery store chain has died. 88-year-old Doris Schnuck died Saturday at her home in Clayton. A company spokeswoman says she had been in failing health.
Doris and Donald Schnuck helped turn a corner grocery in north St. Louis into the area's leading supermarket chain. He died in 1991 at age 69. They have six children who run the supermarket chain. Funeral arrangements are pending.
Today, Schnucks operates 100 stores in five states — Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin and Iowa — with 14,800 employees.
Mrs. Schnuck supported the St. Louis Children's Hospital, the Children's Tumor Foundation, the St. Louis Zoo and the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center. The Children's Garden at the Missouri Botanical Garden is named for her.
Craig and Terry Schnuck live in Clayton. Scott, Todd, Mark and Nancy live in Ladue. Other survivors include 20 grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren.
No charges against parents of lost boy found at Schnucks
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Authorities say no criminal charges will be filed against the St. Louis woman whose 5-year-old son was found wandering alone late at night with his dog at a grocery store.
Workers at a Schnucks grocery store in south St. Louis found the boy about 11:15 p.m. Thursday. He said his name was Noah, but he didn't know his last name or where he lived. Workers took him in, gave the boy and the dog food, and called police.
Several hours later, on Friday morning, police located the child's mother. She told authorities she was sleeping and didn't know the boy had wandered off.
Police say there will be strict oversight to ensure that the mother and child get help toward what police call a "healthy living environment."
Schnucks issues ground sausage recall at Hampton Village location
A south city Schnucks grocery store has issued a voluntary recall for all ground sausage sold on a weekend.
The Hampton Village Schnucks issued the recall after a customer returned a package of ground sausage with pieces of the tray packaging pad inside.
The recall includes all fresh ground sausage purchased Sunday, April 28 with a "sell-by" date of May 2.
As a precaution, all fresh ground sausage was pulled from the shelves, the grinder cleaned, and newly ground sausage put out for sale.
Schnucks said this was an isolated incident and no other stores were affected. No injuries or illnesses were reported.
Customers with questions are encouraged to contact the Schnucks Consumer Affairs Department at 314-994-4400 or 800-264-4400.
Schnucks issues ground beef recall
A Schnucks location in Fairview Heights is recalling ground beef sold on Sunday.

Anyone who purchased the prepackaged beef can take it back to the store for a full refund.
Anyone with questions should contact Schnucks Consumer Affairs at 314-994-4400 or 1-800-264-4400.

[Solved] LiteSpeed Cache + Joomla
Joomla is a fairly populate content management system (CMS). It is a common sense that most Web sites have content that does not change frequently should use caching techniques to reduce load to server and improve end user experience. Joomla itself has three levels of caching:
1. Page caching 2. View caching 3. Module caching Page caching is the one that significantly improves performance (8 times faster). However, the cache result (in html format) is saved as a php file in docroot/cache/page directory. IOW, php is still invoked to serve these pages. LiteSpeed Caching LiteSpeed webserver (LSWS) cache bypasses php invocation and serves cached page directly from LSWS cache. Hence a much bigger performance improvement can be achieved. To work with Joomla (cached for guest visitor only), LSWS cache relies on a cookie token to differentiate whether a user is logged in or not. However, Joomla assigns cookie to any user (guest and logged in). cookie value changes as same session go through different stage (such as before login, after login, logout and log back in, etc) while cookie key stays the same. The easy way is the create desired cookie in joomla by modifying its code (small modification in login/logout stage). Login/Logout functions are located in the standard user component (docroot/component/com_user/controller.php). The modification is as follows: Code:
function login() { Code:
function logout () In file joomla_docroot/.htaccess Code:
########## Begin - Joomla! core SEF Section Code:
########## Begin - Joomla! core SEF Section 1. Only cache for Head or Get requests 2. Cache for guest user (no loginuser cookie) 3. Cache request to any URLs like ((\.php|\.html|\.htm|\.feed|\.pdf|\.raw|/[^.]*)$) but excluding /index.php, and /administrator/* 4. Cache for 300 seconds Note: 1. Joomla's login form (index.php) is not cache friendly (contain a security token) and has to be excluded from being cached. 2. /administrator/* is the Joomla backend. No need to be cached. LSWS Cache Policy configuration (Admin Console -> Server/Vhost ->Cache-> Cache Policy). Cache Policy: Quote:
Following is the ab benchmark of the test sites in our lab against latest Joomla 1.5 (1.5.22) with sample data comes with install. Litespeed Cache + Joomla 1.5.22 (with NO system cache plugin) Code:
Benchmarking 192.168.0.56 (be patient).....done |
Modification of core files
A joomla 1.5 and 1.7 (2.5) plugin for this would be awesome... so that core files did not need to be manipulated.
Does this include the new private cache for individual users?
Perhaps an update then?
no problem. will do.
Joomla Plugin
Seriously... about the plugin... Joomla guys would go nuts if a decent caching mechanism were setup. Litespeed would start getting demanded by Joomla designers.
I'd recommend the guy at http://www.nonumber.nl/ help you write it... or http://www.joomlaworks.gr |
Thanks for the info. will update the guide first and go from there.
I wonder why I always get

Volume XXII, Issue VI June 2013 The mission of the Ad Valorem Division of the Oklahoma Tax Commission is to promote an ad valorem property tax system which is fair and equitable to all taxpayers by implementing standard valuation methodology, tax law conformity, and assessment administration compliance. Oklahoma Ad Valorem F O R U M "IAAO Zangerle Award Winner: 1997 and 2010" Director's Notes: This was an unusual June in more ways than the usual ad valorem twists and turns. For the first time in many years the State Board of Equalization held two meetings in June. At the first meeting, the State Board of Equalization approved all abstracts except a few county documents that did not arrive by the June 12 deadline for the June 13, 2013 board meeting. (The statute actually sets June 15 as the official deadline so technically we received all abstracts by the statutory date, including one abstract accidentally sent to the Department of Indiana by someone at the postal department.) We've now forwarded all of those to the State Auditor for certification. At the first meeting, the Board also placed Caddo County and Sequoyah County in full compliance status. This has been several years in the process, and as I indicated at the Board meeting, we felt that both counties have been working hard and making substantial progress. We hope they can continue with the improvements they have made, especially since the 2013 audit is underway. At the second meeting on June 24, 2013, the State Board established the fair cash value for airlines, railroads, and public service corporations for 2013. The Public Service Section worked really hard over the last few months to value 254 companies for this year. It was especially challenging this year since this was the first time the valuation process was impacted by the passage of SQ766 which exempted intangible personal property. As you know after Board certification and the State Auditor and Inspector mail-out, the protest period of twenty days will begin. We've talked several times with David Tinsley, Matt Wehmuller, the Oklahoma County folks and several other counties with storm damage. They've all been working really hard to get things ready at the county assessor level to adjust property information as needed. All of the assessors and deputies I have talked with seem to agree the hard part is just beginning for many of our fellow Oklahomans. They face major obstacles as tough as the wind and property damage with all the uncertainty surrounding their circumstances. Public attention is fickle sometimes with some new events taking the attention to other issues; folks affected by the storm still have to battle all the challenges of reassembling their lives and sorting out all the details of everyday existence that we never think about on a daily basis. It is hard enough to keep your head in the game on a regular basis, but it's even tougher without transportation, street signs, power and water, lost credit cards, property repair contract, and the loss of personal property and pictures of loved ones. So keep them in your thoughts. For many Oklahomans some of the hardest times are still ahead. Sincerely, Jeff Spelman, CAE Director, Ad Valorem Division

Did anyone find the macedonia spanish soap?
Whenever I see this question I'm like - THE HECK?
After many unsuccessful attempts at other sources, we were just able to purchase Krisbel Jabon Macedonia for shipment to the US from Farmacia Perez Mansilla in Zaragoza Spain at farmaciazgz.com
It was a bit expensive at $60 for 6 bars including shipping, but apparently it's very wonderful stuff and worth it.
Not really. Best I can do is provide you with a Spanish seller. http://www.ecplaza.net/tradeleads/seller/3885901/luxury_bath_soap.html
Arielflounder: I found 2 companies selling "Real" Macedonia krisbel Soap. (1) www.promofarmacia.com loc. town north of Zaragoza, ships to USA by PayPal, some there speak English.
(2) www.farmaciazgz.com do not ship to USA, so you need a friend & address in Europe. (my friend is in Blearn Court France ,they then ship to me.) left side of form that pop up. locate box "Busqueda Rapida" type in this # 51243. (bring up the soap)
(3) do not write or understand Spanish....?? well type what you want to say in {English } copy and Paste. to " babelfish.com " it will translate free 4 U.
(4) The real Krisbel Macedonia soap only cost $6.18[ usa] per bar with shipping 18 Bars 61.66 EUR.
pass this on
Arielflounder: added info: " box on the left of form that drop down.. for www.promofarmacia.com type in "Macedonia" or Macedonia soap" "Jabon" will bring up 300 other soaps so don't use Jabon. the other company remain the same... Al

German minister: Avoid U.S. Web services if you fear NSA spying
Germany's interior minister has a solution to prevent the U.S. from spying on its citizens: Don't use Facebook, Google, Microsoft services, and so on.
According to the Associated Press, Hans-Peter Friedrich told reporters in Berlin on Wednesday that "whoever fears their communication is being intercepted in any way should use services that don't go through American servers."
This comes amid spying claims by numerous newspapers based on the leaked reports by former National Security Agency contractor turned whistleblower Edward Snowden, who was the first to disclose the mass spying operation by U.S. intelligence … Read more

Conunittee, unveiled a plan to fund another environmental bond issue in the amount of $150 million. - The bond would set aside $100. million for acquisition of open space, brownfield remediation and stormwater and park improvements. ' The remaining $50 million would provide funds toward building an ocean outflow pipe from the Bay Park sewage treatment facility, as well as make iniprovements.to Nassau County's Cedar Creek plant to limit nid'ogen output and other pollutants going into the water. . "The 2008 bond would cost taxpayers another $15 per year per household once all the money is spent. Presently taxpayers are spending about $20 per year per household for the 2004 and 2006. environmental bonds," said Mr. Denenberg. The county Legislature held a hearing on Tuesday, September 2, oh the environmental bond and was scheduled to vote on. September 3 on whether to place the bond on the November ballot. The result of that vote was not known prior to press time. Meanwhile the Republican minority in the Legislature, as well as a host of environmental groups, said this is not the time to ask taxpayers to pay $50 mil-. lion for an outflow pipe and infrastructure improvenients diat should' be covered under, the county's capital projects budget. If an '08 environmental bond issueis placed, on the ballot,- it should remain at $100 million. "I have always been a proponent for the environment and I believe my record shows this," said Republican Legislator Norma Gonsalves, lyho supported both the '04 and '06 environmental bonds. "But these are difficult economic times and we can't ask the people to pay for a project that belongs as a capital project," she added. Mr. Denenberg disagrees: "$50 million is half our [annual] capital budget. -We need money to go towards protecting the South Shore estuary. Everyone already knows that stormwater and sewage effluent is the reason for beach closures. We must begin now." On July 29 the Natural Resources Defense Council released its annual report stating that beach closings increased 21 percent from 2006 to 2007 in New York State, and beach closings on Long Island had increased by 60 percent since last year. New York ranks eighth worst in the nation in percent of days that exceeded health standards, according to the report.

Look! Up in the sky! It's Super Moon …
By Amelia Greim
If the skies clear up Saturday night you could get a glimpse of the "super moon." Saturday's full moon will appear the largest it has in more than a year.
According to NASA, the scientific term for a "super moon" is perigee moon. The moon's orbit is an elliptical shape, so it will look bigger because it is actually closer to the earth. The moon will reach perigee in Seattle at 8:34 p.m.
A minute later, the moon will brightly illuminate when it lines up with the Earth and Sun.

Friday's 4-AA Eastern Regional football championship game between Jack Britt and Garner will be broadcast live by Time Warner Cable.
The broadcast is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. on Time Warner's channel 520. It will be available only to Time Warner customers with the digital box.
The game is a rematch of last year's regional final, which like last year's game was also played at Garner. Garner won that game 34-27.
Garner is 14-0 this year. Britt is 12-2.
The winner will advance to Kenan Stadium in Chapel Hill next Saturday to face the winner of the 4-AA Western final between Matthews Butler and Charlotte Mallard Creek for the 4-AA state title.

Massachusetts AG Coakley Joins Vermont Yankee Appeal
Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley is joining her counterparts in eight other states to support Vermont's appeal of a federal judge's ruling that limited that state's authority over the Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant.
During a visit to Springfield Tuesday, Coakley said the original decision failed to acknowledge the legitimacy of vermont's legislative process. The ruling, she says, relied too heavily on arguments that the only consideration at stake was the safety of the plant - which all acknowledge is an issue for federal, not state, regulators.
"States, particularly Vermont, but all states have an interest in some dual regulation around economic issues, around the viability of the plant for providing utility and energy to a particular state, and that for the judge to say it was just a safety related decision, and therefore pre-empt, we believe was incorrect."
Coakley also says the Vermont case could play a role in the future of the Pilgrim Yankee nuclear plant in Plymouth, Massachusetts. Coakley and other officials have called for federal regulators to take a new look at that plant's safety, given lessons from the nuclear accidents following Japan's earthquake last year.
"We still think, and we're not alone in this, that the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission moved too quickly, without doing an extensive enough review of the particular safety issues in Plymouth, particularly after that incident in Japan, with the kind of storage and the threat that could arise in Plymouth, and so we're going to continue our court challenges on that. But it is important for the court to make determinations as states do have some say around the licensing of plants that go beyond just safety issues."
In the last year, federal regulators have extended the operating licenses for both Vermont Yankee and Pilgrim Yankee for another 20 years. The fight over Vermont's authority is expected to eventually end up before the U.S. Supreme Court.

I didn't realize a 13 year age difference counts as "much" older - my favorite ex was 15 years older. I guess the difference between Hugh Hefner & his fancies is just "obscene".
