Actually, there is, a few of them.
1. HMX has to recode every song moved to make it compatible with the PS3. That's a lot of songs and a lot of hours...which costs money.
2. Speaking of money, I'm sure the QA and approval process to get the songs on the PSN Store isn't free. More money.
3. Though the specifics of which song will make it over hasn't been released, it's safe to say that the songs not doing well on the 360 will likely not come across. The 360 fan base is larger than the PS3's (I'm guessing really, but I'm pretty confident) but I'm sure the what sells well as far as regular DLC goes is pretty similar on both sides comparatively, so it isn't likely that HMX would risk spending the time and money to transfer something over that might not give a positive return. I'll admit, this one is pure speculation on my part.
4. Ok, so there's really only one reason...explained 3 ways.

Excellent! I would cut the salt in half next time though

This recipe is fantastic! I was so used to only cooking stew on the stove. This was the first time I had ever put beef stew in the oven and the meat turned out to be so tender and delicious. There was just so much flavor involved and I loved it! Thank you so much for this recipe!

This is not exciting, but it's a good basic recipe.

I didn't follow the directions exactly, just cooked it in the dutch oven on the stove. I also added a few fresh tomatoes...delicious! My family (even the kids) loved it.

Korean drug makers under siegeWill pharmaceutical firms survive global giants' onslaught? By Chung Hee-hyung Korean pharmaceutical companies are feeling pressure from all sides. Relying too much on selling cheap generic drugs instead of developing original ones, analysts say they lack competitiveness to take on global players. The government, on its part, forced the languishing domestic drug makers to substantially cut prices earlier this year, further chipping away at their bottom lines. To make matters worse, the recently signed Korea-US free trade agreement (FTA) contains several provisions heavily in favor of original patent holders - making it far more difficult to get the government's approval to market generic pharmaceutical drugs. All in all, the country's pharmaceutical firms appear to be midway through a seismic shift in the market, not seen for a decade, and which might require an equally bold change in strategy. However, before prescribing the right medicine, observers point out that it is necessary to diagnose how the drug companies became stuck in the present predicament in the first place. Too small to survive Although the country's pharmaceutical sector has been overshadowed by such export powerhouses as the giant electronics or auto industries, Korea actually has a fairly large pharmaceutical market. Last year, the U.S. Congressional Research Service (CSR) reported that Korea ranks among the world's top 12 in the pharmaceutical market, with $8 billion in annual sales. Similarly, IMS Health, an industry consultant, reclassified Korea's pharmaceutical sector as a "developed" market two years ago. However, the market is severely fragmented, with close to 300 drug makers and 500 wholesalers competing against each other. Few have either the resources or product lineup to compete overseas. Instead they mostly fight over the $8 billion domestic pie. That pie may appear big enough on the surface, but it is certainly not large enough to accommodate 800 pharmaceutical firms and wholesalers. As might be expected, Korea's drug manufacturers are too small to effectively compete against their western counterparts in the global market. Even Dong-A Pharmaceutical, the country's largest maker of drugs, recorded a paltry $800 million in sales last year. That pales in comparison to Pfizer, which spent $9.4 billion in research and development alone during the same period. "Even the country's largest pharmaceutical firms do not have the resources to develop original drugs competitively enough to survive against western pharmaceuticals," said Bae Ki-dal, analsyst of Shinhan Investment & Securities. "They simply can't afford the cost. As a result, when the companies do come up with original drugs, they have little appeal outside the domestic market." Most crucially, the competition is not over the quality of the drugs, which might actually stimulate companies to come up with better medicine than its rivals. Instead, virtually all drug makers are heavily dependent on marketing generic drugs. Generic drugs are defined as medicine that have a different brand name from the original but are otherwise identical in chemical compound. In industry jargon, they are "bioequivalent" to branded drugs with similar dosage form, safety, quality, performance characteristics and intended use. Once the chemical compound of a particular drug is known, every drug maker can make a copycat version of that medicine with nearly identical performance and characteristics. It is much easier than developing a new drug because there is no guarantee that the large investment would ever bear fruit. In fact, less than two out of 1,000 chemical compounds chosen for development go all the way up to the last stage of clinical trials to eventually get government approval. The process is expensive and time-consuming; Forbes magazine reported in February that the average cost of successfully developing a drug for the top 12 global pharmaceuticals for the past 15 years ranged from $ 3.7 billion to $ 11.8 billion. Addicted to generics It is not surprising, then, that Korean pharmaceuticals are less than enthusiastic about doing their own research and development (R&D) but instead have chosen to rely on copying foreign brands and sell them as generic drugs. Moreover, the government is accused of having played a large part in this. In 1998, in the midst of the Asian financial crisis, the government introduced a new "step" price system to encourage speedy development of generic medicines. It was part of the administration's efforts to save the flagging pharmaceutical industry from economic depression. Under the system, drug makers were assigned different price caps by the administration depending on how fast they had registered their generic product. The first to register its drug was permitted to market the product at 80 percent of the original, while the next five registers were able to sell their drugs at 68 percent. Anyone who came afterwards could only set their price at 61 percent of the branded original. It was not surprising that companies were eager to be the first to register their versions, and they concentrated what meager R&D resources they had on developing generic drugs instead of making original ones. The government, for its part, made little effort to stem the tide. "Any company who met minimal requirements was granted the government's approval. It just needed to come up with its own generic drug as fast as it could," noted a senior manager from one of the country's major pharmaceuticals. It also meant that a lot of companies, which should have fallen out of the market, survived. If they managed to develop a generic drug first, they were in effect sanctioned by the government to sell their drugs at a higher price than their competitors. Guaranteed a steady source of profit, they had little incentive to develop original drugs or improve the quality of existing ones. It had a debilitating effect on the drug industry's competitiveness. The step price system had an unintended side effect as well. Because any line of generic drugs that copied a particular original brand shared the same chemical compound, they were virtually identical in quality and performance characteristics. With little way to distinguish themselves in quality, companies gave large incentives or "rebates" as they came to be universally known, to physicians or hospitals who agreed to prescribe or purchase their products. It became a matter of course for drug makers to give their customers large discounts in advance or entertain them with expensive meals or lavish parties. Some companies even sponsored "seminars" in which participants were treated to sumptuous feasts or rounds of golf after they had attended perfunctory academic conferences. The practice of providing rebates had a very negative effect on the drug industry. It was considered the major cause of high drug prices, and the Fair Trade Commission (FTC) estimated last year that the sum total of rebates amounted to $3 billion a year, with some companies reportedly spending nearly half their annual revenues on rebates alone. The Ministry Of Health and Welfare (MOHW) vowed to crack down on such illegal practices. It even introduced a "double penalty system" in which both drug makers offering bribes and the physicians accepting them would be liable to punishment by law. As with any assurances to root out systemic corruption, the ministry's promise proved elusive. Companies were content to rely on generic drugs as their main source of income, and the ubiquitous practice of giving rebates showed little sign of abating. "I cannot say that the practice has disappeared entirely," admitted Lim Chae-min, minister of MOWH at an annual auditing session at the National Assembly last year. Changed circumstances It looks as if a series of recent government policies and outside pressures are at last forcing the pharmaceuticals to change their problematic business models. Realizing that the threat of punishment alone would not work, the MOHW resorted to the drastic measure of mandating companies to lower prices. In the ministry's comprehensive plan "to cut medicine prices and enhance competitiveness of the pharmaceutical industry," the government set a compulsory 17 percent reduction in drug prices for all drug makers. The highly criticized "step" price system was also abolished, and companies were no longer afforded the privilege of setting a higher price according to how quickly they registered their generic product. Instead, all generic drugs had to be sold at a flat price of 53.5 percent of the original, although companies were free to sell them at a lower level. The plan took effect from April, and companies grudgingly accepted the newly imposed regulation. The result showed in the statistics. Although the numbers on second quarter earnings has yet to be released, analysts widely expect that the recently enacted policy would take a large share out of the pharmaceuticals' profit. "The government's regulation in April is expected to bring stock prices of major pharmaceuticals to their lowest point in the second two quarters of this year," said Bae of Shinhan Investment & Securities. "Most companies have seen more than 20 percent reduction in their profits, and although the situation is unlikely to get worse, it will take some time before their stock returns to previous levels." The recently enacted Korea-U.S FTA, moreover, may have a bigger impact on the country's already beleaguered pharmaceutical sector. The agreement, which came into effect in March, is packed with several provisions strongly protecting intellectual property rights. The "patent-linkage" clause, in particular, mandates the Korean government to notify the original developer whenever a drug maker seeks approval for its generic version. If the patent holder makes an objection and the government finds that the claimed patent does exist, it is obliged to deny market approval. The pharmaceutical, on its part, is required to give detailed "safety and efficacy information" to the authorities to make sure that its generic version of the original medicine makes no infringement of intellectual property rights. Because almost all of Korea's generic drugs are copied from originals initially developed by Western pharmaceuticals, the days when Korea's drug makers could easily make profits from generic drugs may be numbered. "Previously, the government was free to give its stamp of approval even when the original patent was still valid," said Yang Jung Suk of MOHW. "Pharmaceuticals, taking full advantage of this, applied for marketing approval at the earliest possible moment. In this way, they could go on selling the approved generic drugs right after the original patent expired." The FTA, however, changed much of this situation. "If a patent holder claims that the government has not followed appropriate procedures in granting its approval, the procedure might be delayed even after the patent has expired," Yang noted. "Even a 'nominal' patent, in which the original drug maker simply changes the drug's gene sequence but nothing else, could hold up an approval for several months," added Yang. The clause could significantly restrict the movements of generic drug makers. "We are not even sure how much information we are supposed to give to the authorities when filling out our application," complained a senior manager of a major pharmaceutical company at an information session held by the Korea Food and Drug Administration (KDFA) in May. "The FTA is silent on this, and we are in the dark as to how detailed such information should be." The pharmaceutical firms, in fact, may be equally in the dark as to how they should cope with the ever increasing threat from within and without. Maybe the drug makers are suffering from the side effects of their generic drugs, and they should overcome the addiction to their own products in the first place. |

In his tiny cubicle in the Russell Senate Office Building, in the lowest foothills of political power, a frustrated Navy officer wrestled with friends over what to do with his life.
It was 1979, and it was becoming clear that he would never make admiral like his father and grandfather. He had always dreamed of doing something great, of imprinting his name on the history books, but at age 42 he found himself with a stuttering military career and no base from which to go into politics.
On top of that, his personal life was a mess: Although he was still living with his wife, he was aggressively courting a 25-year-old woman who was as beautiful as she was rich.
That troubled period was perhaps the crucial turning point in John McCain's life, and the decisions that he made then started him on the course that he hopes will take him to the White House in January. In just a few years from those times of soul-searching in his office as Navy liaison to the Senate, Mr. McCain would have a new wife, a new home state and a bright new political star as president of the class of newly elected Republican members of the House of Representatives.

I bought 2 chairs because of the affordable price. They were easy to install with just 1 screw. They look sleek and contemporary. The durability is questionable. The top of the chair frame (not head rest) has loose/rippled material. The chair itself is firm yet feels like it is made of some kind of hard cardboard lining, not exactly comfortable, could be an issue for a heavy person. I use them only as occasional/guest chairs because I'm afraid something might snag them (ie rivets on jeans). They serve their purpose and look nice.
Very sleek and comfortable. Using it in my hair salon as a dryer chair. Love the width and back support as well!
I like the construction, styling, appearance, and material of this chair, also purchased the matching ottoman. The black leather is easy to maintain, coordinates well with existing furniture; for myself, living alone, a most notable feature was the mobility due to well balanced weight and sturdy construction; another excellent feature was the ease of assembly.
Chair was a perfect solution to my son need for gaming and practicing his guitar. Great look and very easy install.
Great sleek look. Looks "high end" and is comfy, but easily damaged. Easy to put together. Bought two and have not put up the secound one as I have not figured out how to protect it from two cats.
Ordered two chairs. Been looking for this style for a while, but compatible chairs are @$300. Leather is very soft and chair is very comfortable. You can put two chairs together and forms a nice love-seat... Very happy with this buy!
very nice chair for the money, frame is interesting looking, leather is a shiny black, don't look cheap, we use these in our waiting area and they're very sharp looking, comfortable for a short wait
I needed a chair to go into my hair salon. Modern is my style and this chair fits it to a tee. I love the look, and like baby bear... this chair is "just right". It's very comfortable and just the right size. And putting it together was a breeze! Really, it couldn't have been easier. So, all in all, I am more than pleased with this purchase!
Easy to put together, wonderful to look at and comfortable to sit in. Highly recommend it.

text: Just a reminder: in North America, astronomical summer ends September 21st. So if they're saying "late summer," it could come as late as mid September. Don't flip out when it isn't out by the end of August, or it isn't out by the time you start school. Summer does NOT officially end when you want it to, it ends when it ends (which is September 21st).

So it's summer. That means it is hot, but thankfully not as dry as last year.
It's also not dry for a different reason. Combine hot afternoons and children, the only reasonable result is boredom.
But how do you fix that? The answer is simple, and it only costs $10.
A small plastic kiddie pool, no matter the age of the kid, will entertain for a ridiculous amount of time.
I still haven't figured out what is so engaging about a four-foot-wide and 10-inch deep pool of water, but I'll take it.
What really baffles me though is that it came with instructions.
And the instructions weren't simply "Put pool on ground, fill with water."
Oh no, that would probably result in thousands of frustrated people.
What has happened to our society?!?
The instructions begin with a warning about drowning in the 10 inches of water, followed immediately by "no diving."
At least I realize now, thanks to the instructions, that it is possible to drown in two inches of water.
And I previously had no idea that you shouldn't dive head-first into water that can't even cover a pencil.
Obviously supervision is required, but is a paragraph on searching for missing children necessary? Doubt we'd need a bloodhound to find a child in a kiddie pool.
The page goes on to suggest that to keep unsupervised kids out of the pool, you should install a fence.
That would probably be the smallest fence ever, but you should still check state and local laws and codes before "installing" the pool and safety fence.
Don't leave toys in the pool when finished using, it might attract kids (but the bright colors and pictures won't?).
Electrocution risks are also apparently abundant with kiddie pools. All lines, radios, speakers and appliances must be kept away, and don't put the pool near overhead electrical lines.
That reminds me of that lightning bug guy that sang the catchy "stay away from power lines" song on a commercial back in the 90's.
I guess before the kids can use it, we also have to get a working telephone and a list of emergency numbers to keep near the pool.
Then, get this, the piece of paper that was taped inside the pool tells me that I need to become certified in CPR. Does the manufacturer subsidize the cost of that, or do they just have a behind-closed-doors deal with the Red Cross?
Failure to follow these instructions means that you and your kids will probably not survive the adventure through 10 inches of water.
After some consumer awareness information from the Association of Pool & Spa Professionals, the instructions get down to brass tacks.
Page 2 of 2 - The pool MUST be placed on level, firm soil free of stones, gravel, sticks, black-top or other oil-based compounds. Do not put on any type of wooden surface, and make sure it complies with local safety and building codes.
Only adults can "assemble" it, and it may have hazardous sharp edges or points.
It should be stored somewhere that temperatures stay in between 32 and 125 degrees.
There is even a section on how to empty it.
This is just one small example of how silly this world has become.
It's a plastic pool. If a person can't figure out how to operate it, they should return it to the store or not even purchase it in the first place.
What happened to common sense?
My theory is that it disappeared when that lady sued a certain burger franchise after she spilled hot coffee in her lap.
It has been on a rapid decline ever since. I'm sorry, but if you don't know better, go ahead and dive into 10 inches of water, it just might make the world a better place.

Experience the beauty of the islands of the eastern shore while birding in this unique location. We will go birding at several hot spots on the Eastern Shore. Not only will we explore the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge's restricted back country on Assateague Island. We will also visit Wallops Island to view the shore birds of a pristine beach restricted to the public or take a boat ride through marsh creeks to observe waterfowl. Spring is a good time to see large numbers of migrating shore birds, warblers, and other birds that invade the area. During summer, a variety of species are visible along the National Seashore. In the fall, waterfowl arrive in massive numbers to Assateague Island, a vital link in the life cycle of migrating waterfowl in the Atlantic Flyway. No matter the seasons birding on the eastern shore is a treat.

Stress and weight gain
By Mayo Clinic staffOriginal Article: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/stress/AN01128

"The magic of the electronic village is transforming health information. The mouse and keyboard have extended the stethoscope to the 500 million people now online." — Dr. Edward Creagan
The power of the medium inspires Dr. Edward Creagan as he searches for ways to share Mayo Clinic's vast resources with the general public.
Dr. Creagan, a Newark, N.J., native, is board certified in internal medicine, medical oncology, and hospice medicine and palliative care. He has been with Mayo Clinic since 1973 and in 1999 was president of the staff of Mayo Clinic.
Dr. Creagan, a professor of medical oncology at Mayo Clinic College of Medicine, was honored in 1995 with the John and Roma Rouse Professor of Humanism in Medicine Award and in 1992 with the Distinguished Mayo Clinician Award, Mayo's highest recognition. He has been recognized with the American Cancer Society Professorship of Clinical Oncology.
He describes his areas of special interest as "wellness as a bio-psycho-social-spiritual-financial model" and fitness, mind-body connection, aging and burnout.
Dr. Creagan has been an associate medical editor with Mayo Clinic's health information websites and has edited publications and CD-ROMs and reviewed articles.
"We the team of (the website) provide reliable, easy-to-understand health and wellness information so that each of us can have productive, meaningful lives," he says.

Stress and weight gain
How do I control stress-induced weight gain?
from Edward T. Creagan, M.D.
When you're under stress, you may find it harder to eat healthy. Also, during times of particularly high stress, you may eat in an attempt to fulfill emotional needs — sometimes called stress eating or emotional eating. And you may be especially likely to eat high-calorie foods during times of stress, even when you're not hungry.
To prevent weight gain during stress and reduce the risk of obesity, get a handle on your stress. When you feel less stressed and more in control of your life, you may find it easier to stick to healthy eating and exercise habits.
Try these stress management techniques to combat stress-related weight gain:
- Recognize the warning signs of stress, such as anxiety, irritability and muscle tension.
- Before eating, ask yourself why you're eating — are you truly hungry or do you feel stressed or anxious?
- If you're tempted to eat when you're not hungry, find a distraction.
- Don't skip meals, especially breakfast.
- Identify comfort foods and keep them out of your home or office.
- Keep a record of your behavior and eating habits so that you can look for patterns and connections — and then figure out how to overcome them.
- Learn problem-solving skills so that you can anticipate challenges and cope with setbacks.
- Practice relaxation skills, such as yoga, massage or meditation.
- Engage in regular physical activity or exercise.
- Get adequate sleep.
- Get encouragement from supportive friends and family.
If you try stress management techniques on your own but they don't seem to be working, consider seeking professional help through psychotherapy or counseling.

Therefore, brothers and sisters, you must be patient as you wait for the coming of the Lord.
Courageous patience
7 Therefore, brothers and sisters, you must be patient as you wait for the coming of the Lord. Consider the farmer who waits patiently for the coming of rain in the fall and spring, looking forward to the precious fruit of the earth. 8 You also must wait patiently, strengthening your resolve, because the coming of the Lord is near. 9 Don't complain about each other, brothers and sisters, so that you won't be judged. Look! The judge is standing at the door!
10 Brothers and sisters, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord as an example of patient resolve and steadfastness.
What's in the Bible about the Holy Spirit?
What is the Bible all about? What's in it? Why is it so important for Christians? Is it really relevant for people in the 21st century? Should I care about what's in the Bible? Why? What difference will it make in my life? The study series, What's in the Bible and Why Should I Care? offers opportunities to explore these questions and others by opening the Bible, reading it, prayerfully reflecting on what the Bible readings say, and applying the readings to daily life.
The title of this unique and exciting Bible study series points to the two essential features of meaningful Bible study: reading the Bible and applying the Bible to life. First, we read the Bible to discover answers to the question What's in the Bible? and second, we reflect upon what we read in order to discover answers to the question, Why Should I Care? and apply these answers to our lives.
What's in the Bible about the Holy Spirit? is one of the study books in the series, What's in the Bible and Why Should I Care? What's in the Bible about the Holy Spirit? will help readers explore the power and presence of God's Holy Spirit in the lives of God's people. Chapters include: The Holy Spirit Creates and Renews, The Holy Spirit Inspires, The Holy Spirit Empowers, and The Holy Spirit is with God's People. Each chapter contains the following features:
Bible Readings - Each chapter explores specific readings from the Bible.
The Questions – Each chapter begins with focus questions that will be explored in the Bible readings and the chapter information.
A Psalm – Each chapter begins with verses from a psalm. These excerpts from the psalms give readers the experience of using the Bible for personal and group devotion.
A Prayer – A brief two or three sentence prayer at the beginning and end of each chapter
What's in the Bible? Participants will read and reflect upon key Bible readings in each chapter and use the space provided to write personal and private reflections.
Reflection Questions – These questions are related to the chapter information and are designed to help the reader consider key ideas that emerge from this information and from the Bible readings.
Bible Facts – Additional related information about the Bible readings.
Here's Why I Care – This activity near the end of each chapter contains questions that invite the readers to grow in faith as they prayerfully reflect about what they have learned

Minister for Disaster Management and Human Rights, Mahinda Samarasinghe, led Sri Lanka's delegation to a decisive victory at the 11th Special Session of the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) in Geneva on Wednesday (27). Sri Lanka's resolution received 29 affirmative votes at the 47-member Council with only 12 voting against and 6 countries abstaining. Towards the conclusion of the one-and-a-half-day session, Sri Lanka's delegation worked with member states to evolve a consensual document. Taking several positive suggestions into consideration, Sri Lanka's initial draft resolution, which was co-sponsored by 17 other member states, was enhanced and expanded before it was brought to the Council for adoption on Wednesday evening. At this point a group acting on behalf of the European Union and some other countries sought to move a further series of nine amendments to the Sri Lankan resolution.
The Delegation of Cuba emphasizing that the proposed changes would alter the tenor and intent of the consensual resolution, tabled a "no action motion" which was successful in forestalling further consideration of these amendments. Subsequently, the Sri Lankan resolution was voted on and carried by a clear majority of 17 member states. Another Resolution that was put forward by the Swiss Delegation on behalf of some other countries was not considered by the UNHRC. Accordingly calls for international investigations and international monitoring and reporting on Sri Lanka in the post-conflict scenario were rejected.
Minister Samarasinghe set the tone for Sri Lanka's engagement with the Council in his opening remarks delivered on Tuesday (26) when he said: "we will continue to work with all our friends in the international community. We will continue to engage as we have done in the past consistently with all regional and cross regional groups in this council." He added that Sri Lanka: "will continue in our efforts to facilitate our bilateral and multilateral partners in complementing the efforts of the Government in the multi-pronged strategies that we will put into place in the post-conflict era." He stressed that it was therefore unnecessary to engage in "the naming and shaming game". The Minister reiterated that it was in this spirit that a broad based draft resolution has been co- sponsored by many countries including Sri Lanka which has even taken into account some of the constructive and practical suggestions made by some countries who were supportive of another resolution. The Minister noted, with deep appreciation the support of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) Group and the Organization of The Islamic Conference (OIC) Group - two important cross-regional groups at the HRC - and in particular the support of the African Regional Group as well as some countries of the Latin American and Asian Groups for their unstinting support to Sri Lanka.
The Resolution that was adopted by the UNHRC is titled "Assistance to Sri Lanka in the promotion and protection of human rights", and incorporates several significant aspects. It reaffirms Article 1 and 2 of the UN Charter incorporating the principle of non-interference in matters essentially within the domestic jurisdiction of nation states. It welcomes the end of hostilities and the liberation of civilians held against their will in the conflict zone by the LTTE, it unequivocally endorses the programme of work of President Mahinda Rajapakse's Government relating to the care and resettlement of internally displaced persons (IDPs) and it encourages the several positive steps initiated by the Government to rehabilitate ex-combatants, care for child soldiers recruited by the LTTE and ensure socio-economic renewal in previously conflict affected areas. The Resolution also welcomes the invitation by President Rajapakse to UN Secretary Genera Ban Ki-moon and appreciates the joint communiqué agreed on with the Government of Sri Lanka at the conclusion of his visit.
The resolution also acknowledges President Rajapakse's commitment to seek a political settlement of all outstanding issues via the implementation of the Thirteenth Amendment and reaffirms the Government's commitment to eradicating discrimination against minorities. It is appreciative of Sri Lanka's cooperation with the UN and other international partners and the granting of access as appropriate to humanitarian actors in Sri Lanka as well as the open engagement with high-level UN dignitaries. Finally the resolution calls upon the international community to support Sri Lanka's efforts in combating underdevelopment and poverty by increasing financial assistance to ensure the full realization of all human rights including economic, social and cultural rights.
Dr Dayan Jayatilleka, Permanent Representative of Sri Lanka to the UN at Geneva introducing the Resolution commended it to the Council's attention as a document which reflected a consensual approach among members and which sought to incorporate a variety of perspectives.
Minister Samarasinghe was joined on the delegation by Mohan Peiris PC, the Attorney-General, Prof. Rajiva Wijesinha, Secretary Ministry of Disaster Management and Human Rights, Ambassador Dayan Jayatilleka and Dr Rohan Perera, Advisor to the ministries of Foreign Affairs and Disaster Management and Human Rights.

Highly Recommended! Within minutes of my call with Mike, I knew that I had found the right jeweler to design a custom engagement ring for my bride-to-be. I am a perfectionist when it comes to important purchases like this and in sharing my standards I was assured by Mike that I would not be disappointed. When the original finished product's symmetry was not quite to my satisfaction - admittedly, no one could see what I saw, but again I am a perfectionist - Mike's focus was solely on ensuring that I was completely satisfied. In the end, I know that Mike incurred additional expense in addressing my concern. While I openly expressed my willingness to compensate him for the additional expense, Mike took care of it and simply offered his thanks for my patience and understanding. The ring is PERFECT and each time I see its brilliant beauty on my bride-to-be's finger I am glad that I found Mike!
Mike Gale did a great job in helping me out!!!! He educated me on the diamond process and helped me create my fiance's ring exactly how I wanted it to be in a very short amount of time. He basically pulled off a miracle for me. His pricing was superb and I cannot express how good he treats his customers. Not shopping at a chain jeweler was the best thing I could've done and I'm happy to have been referred to Gale Diamonds. They did a great job!!! I received a much better diamond in a custom made setting for a better price than a chain store. Can't go wrong!!! THANKS MIKE for making it special for my fiance. She said YES!!!
Very professional and dedicated to customer service – Mike is the man to see if you want to feel that your business and money is in the right hands. The engagement ring he produced for me absolutely blew my girlfriend's mind! Her expression was worth every penny. In the weeks prior to choosing a jeweler I had learned a whole lot more than I cared to know about diamonds and settings but Mike was able to teach me yet more. He was not pushy to make a sale nor was he insistent like some jewelers who beleive they know better than you. During first meeting, Mike took the time to explain how he works with his clients, thus laying the groundwork for a positive experience - no surprises. All in all, a dynamite product backed by exceptional service.
Best Diamond Guy in the City! – My girlfriend went to South Africa on a volunteer trip and this gave me plenty of time to do my research and pick a great diamond place before she got back. She had no idea I was going to propose to her when she got back. Mike came highly recommended by my best friend and his custom work is amazing. Mike makes you feel comfortable in his office and doesn't come across salesy like other diamond guys. He takes his work seriously and explains your options thoroughly. I was so impressed with my initial visit that I had my boss come with me the second round to see what Mike had to offer him as an anniversary present to his wife. Mike had a great collections or diamonds and will show you computer designs so you know what the ring will look like before it's made. I ended up picking out a round cut halo design based off what I knew my girlfriend liked. The custom ring was ready in under a couple of weeks. The final product was exquisite and surpassed my expectations. Needless to say, I will definitely be going to Mike for any future jewelry purchases as he is someone I trust in Chicago.
Great Service – I recently bought a diamond engagement ring from Mike Gale. Mike was the first jeweler that I spoke with, and I was immediately impressed with his knowledge and customer service. I did check the competition, and I was convinced that Gale Diamonds would be the place to do business. Mike was very patient and took the time to explain all of the variables in selecting a diamond. He visited with me on a number of occasions, once even in the evening after work. He created a custom ring that my fiance absolutely loves! I've gotten a lot of compliments on what a good job I did picking out a ring, and I owe it all to Mike.
Great Service, Great Experience – Mike was fantastic throughout the entire experience. He stayed late on a Friday night to meet with me and then was able to get me what I wanted within a week so I could propose the following weekend. Great personal touch at a very fair price. I will be recommending Gale Diamond Brokers to all of my friends.
Extremely professional, friendly and knowledgeable – Mike Gale and his team at Gale Diamonds were a pleasure to work with. I spent about 3 weeks seeking out a variety of jewelers and diamond brokers. A friend of mine referred me to see Mike, and after our first meeting I didn't look any further. I used a common question to help differentiate one jeweler/broker from another. When I asked Mike about the competition I had met with/spoken to, he took the opportunity to outline the differences in each and highlight the way that he works with his clients; most took the opportunity to bash their competitors, and I respected Mike's approach. From the beginning, Mike was very consultative, and provided good insight and general education. In the end, Mike built me a ring the perfect ring, from a description that I gave him, and my fiance loves her one of a kind right.
I would recommend Gale Diamonds to anyone looking for a great experience with a true professional.
If you are looking for the best, you have found it! – If you are looking for someone who will create a gorgeous custom ring and do exactly what you want, Mike is the jeweler to go to. He is very knowledgable and put me at ease. Mike gave me options when making my decisions and I ultimately ended up with a one of a kind diamond ring. I can't stop looking at it! Thank you Mike!
Brilliant in so many ways! – Mike created a remarkable diamond anniversary ring that I will treasure forever! He is professional, creative, and a wonderful person who follows through on every detail. Such a fabulous experience!
Great service, comfortable atmosphere. – Crazy as it may sound, my dad and I made a trip to chicago from minneapolis with the sole purpose of buying a diamond for an engagement ring for my soon to be fiance. I had set up appointments with multiple jewelers on jewelers row. Mike was the first that I visited. In a place that could be very intimidating, Mike was welcoming, and very helpful. He took the time to show us the ins and outs of viewing diamonds, and encouraged us to look around. Gale diamonds was as comfortable an atmosphere as I could haver asked for for buying a diamond. After I had spent the better part of two days looking at diamonds; Mike was willing to meet us downtown on a Sunday morning, knowing I was short for time, I was now able to look at his inventory with a better eye. I cannot thank mike enough for hours time. He held the diamond for me because I had not yet decided on a setting, buy decided to have my ring made locally per mike's suggestion, thought being it would be more hands on for me. I would completely feel comfortable recommending gale diamonds to friends and family. I don't normally write such reviews, but it was the least I could do to thank him foyer his service. Definitely worth the trip!

Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2013 GMC Sierra 3500 HD Extended Cab
By KBB.com Editors
KBB Expert Rating: 7.5
Although many people consider GMC and Chevrolet's trucks to be interchangeable, GMC has been working hard to establish its own identity, something the company likes to call "professional grade." The 2012 GMC Sierra Heavy Duty (HD) trucks are a good example of this new image, sharing almost all of their parts with the Chevrolet Silverado HD trucks, but adding more upscale features such as the Denali trim line, which has no equal on the Chevy side. The 2012 Sierra HD trucks are a powerful lineup of 3/4-ton and 1-ton models, made all the better by last year's improvements to the frame, suspension and Duramax diesel engine. And, while the 2012 GMC Sierra HD trucks are not the most powerful in the segment, they do take top honors for fifth-wheel and conventional towing, as well as payload.
If you're a GMC loyalist, the 2012 GMC Sierra HD truck line is bound to keep you coming back for more. Those who worry about dirtying up the inside of their truck will appreciate the heavily vinyl trappings of the Work Truck line.
Although both the Ram HD and Ford Super Duty trucks look nearly identical on paper, the two competitors offer bolder styling and more upscale editions than does the 2012 GMC Sierra HD line.
The 2012 GMC Sierra HD sees a few improvements for this model year. A new hard-drive navigation radio is offered, while Work Truck models gain cruise control and lockable spare tire. Denali trims gain as standard equipment heated and cooling front seats, a heated steering wheel, a rearview camera and, on 3500 dually models, 17-inch polished wheels.
Driving Impressions Thanks to its torque-heavy 6.6-liter Duramax turbodiesel V8, we found that towing a 10,000-pound trailer behind the 2012 GMC Sierra 2500 HD truck posed absolutely no challenge whatsoever. The 2012...
GMC HD's available Duramax turbodiesel develops 397 horsepower and 765 pound-feet of torque (that's more horsepower but less torque than the Ram HD, and less horsepower and torque than the Ford PowerStroke diesel). Despite the difference in power from its main rivals, the Sierra HD still takes top honors in fifth-wheel and conventional towing, as well as payload figures. The Duramax diesel is a bit loud, but you wouldn't know it from inside the passenger compartment. One of our favorite features on the diesel truck is the "smart" exhaust-braking setup. The system works by progressively restricting the diesel's exhaust, depending on speed and grade, to help slow the rig with added compression braking. We tested a number of 2012 GMC Sierra HD trucks, with gasoline and diesel engines, long and short beds, and basic to plush trim levels. We found all exhibited a firm suspension, good steering ability and fairly compliant ride.Exhaust braking
This system progressively restricts the diesel's exhaust – depending on speed and grade – to help slow the rig with added compression braking.
Remote starting
A favorite on any vehicle, this available feature is much appreciated on working trucks that operate in hot and cold weather extremes.
The 2012 GMC Sierra HD Work Truck (WT), SLE and SLT interiors are designed to work in conjunction with the trucks' duties, yet are still nicely appointed and on Denali trims, downright opulent. While there are not as many storage bins and compartments as in the Ram and Ford HD trucks, the 2012 GMC Sierra HD nevertheless has a number of useful storage ideas for everything from laptops to the errant tool. The 2012 GMC Sierra HD truck's cab makes for the perfect mobile office, with such options as mobile Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and navigation, as well as SiriusXM NavTraffic updates and the OnStar suite of telematic aids. Denali models feature specific brushed-aluminum trim, heated and cooling 12-way power seats, power-adjustable pedals, and a Bose premium surround audio system.
ExteriorThe 2012 GMC Sierra 2500 and 3500 HD trucks sport a large, 3-bar chrome grille resting atop a full-size chrome bumper to create as imposing a sight as you'll ever want see in your rearview mirror. The Sierra HD's massive power dome hood is decked out in powertrain badging and features functional louvers for better engine cooling. The upscale Denali trims can be spotted by their 4-bar mesh design grille and color-keyed bumpers fitted with a mesh-style lower air intake surrounding the front tow hooks. Other features unique to the Denali include chrome door handles and accents, and polished forged-aluminum wheels.
Four-wheel-disc brakes with ABS and Intelligent Brake Assist and a 6-speed automatic transmission are standard on all models, while StabiliTrak electronic stability control, Trailer Sway Control and Hill Start Assist (but not Hill Descent Control) are standard on single-rear-wheel (non-dually) models, and a "Smart" Exhaust Braking comes with the available Duramax Diesel. Also standard are chrome front and rear bumpers, engine- and transmission-oil coolers, a driver information center, tilt steering wheel, cruise control, air conditioning, automatic headlights and front tow hooks. Standard safety features include front-seat airbags and a new high-strength tubular steel-frame crossmember that improves crashworthiness.
Optional (or unavailable) on base 2WD GMC Sierra Work Trucks are power locks, windows and mirrors and a rear-window defroster. The next-level SLE trim provides those plus remote keyless entry, OnStar, XM Satellite Radio, and a CD player, but not the rear-window defroster. The top-of-the-line SLT trim (available on Extended and Crew Cab models) adds leather, power seats and much more, while Denali models are fully loaded. Option packages are available, and other major options include navigation, a CD changer, a rear-seat DVD entertainment system, remote start, premium wheels, a sunroof, a rearview camera, an integrated trailer-brake controller and pelvic/thorax and head-curtain airbags.
The 2012 GMC Sierra HD features as standard a heavy-duty Vortec 6.0-liter gasoline V8 with a cast-iron block, aluminum heads and cam-in-block variable valve timing (VVT). The VVT system allows the engine to use late intake valve closing to improve efficiency and achieve an optimal balance of low-rpm torque and free-breathing, high-rpm horsepower. The 2012 Duramax turbodiesel offers plentiful power and torque, improved strength and durability, and a "smart" exhaust braking with the Allison 1000 6-speed automatic transmission and full B20 biodiesel capability. Its NOx emissions are reduced by 63 percent via a Selective Catalyst Reduction after-treatment system that uses urea-based Diesel (Emission) Exhaust Fluid (DEF) in a 5.3-gallon tank that needs to be replenished about every 5,000 miles.

Review this carBy BobinTucson (AZ) on Monday, December 09, 2013

Cons: "None really"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10
"Follow up to my 1st year review. I have owned the truck for 2 years now, and it has been a great truck. No mechanical problems so far (knock on wood). I own the 5.3L V8. Gas mileage continues to be about 16 in town, and 19-20 highway. The ride is very smooth and the truck is comfortable and fun to drive. I had an experience in which I had to slam on the brakes. I thought for sure I was going to total the truck, but the ABS kicked in and stopped the truck cold. I was really impressed. My old truck would have been a goner. Anyway, so far, so good. Will try to remember to update in year 3."

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 9
"I have driven this customized SLE Z71 both daily and for weekend outings. Capable of turning heads with chrome appointments, 4'lift, 20' chrome wheels, Chrome bull ring, extra driving lights, full leather interior and convenience features such as Bluetooth, Satellite, OnStar, easy steering wheel controls,one touch four wheel drive. Room for the whole family and the dogs. Off road handling with a comfortable aggressive BF Goodrich tire for Sand, Mud or Snow, but still enough comfort to enjoy daily. Only missing heated cooled seats and navigation which would have liked. OnStar still provides directions if needed. Fuel mileage is hurt by the larger wheels and tires, but the Flowmasters are a joy to hear as you pull up beside the competitors trucks. Get many compliments from both men and surprisingly a high number of women. Guess "some girls like a pickup man""

Cons: "Back seat rattle"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 9
"I just bought a Certified used Crew Cab SLT from a dealer and have put approximately 300 miles on it. So far, with the exception of some back seat rattles (I've read some blogs on fixes for that), it is a very nice truck! I've been monitoring the gas mileage, and so far am averaging 18.4mpg combined city/hwy. We had some cool weather recently getting into the season and the remote start and heated seats worked like a dream. We got the memory seats adjusted and set for both my wife and I since we plan to go out of state with both sharing the drive in the near future and love that feature! I hope that we continue to love it... BTW, did I mention the Bose sound system? Very nice! If you plan on driving gravel roads, you will definitely want to have some fender skirts or mud flaps. The paints being used these days do NOT appreciate gravel at all! Make sure you get some protection for your paint job! Beyond that, not much else... enjoy!"

Outdoor Industry NewsReviews for BMC gear:
News from BMC:
Related UKC Forum discussions:
Wouldn't it be nice if there were somewhere I could take my ropes to be recycled? There are some interesting initiatives around for reusing and recycling outdoor stuff, like the Recycle Outdoor Gear project, and Patagonia has set the standard for sustainability in new outdoor clothing. But what about the ropes, helmets and hardware climbers use? That question occurred to Dan Firth, a hill walker and climber who has worked in sustainable procurement for various public and private sector bodies as an environmental consultant. That's when he contacted the BMC. Over the last few months, with the BMC's encouragement, Dan has been doing some research on whether there might be a business in recycling gear, or perhaps a job or two, which are in short supply right now. From what he's found out, there are positive signs the idea is worth exploring further, and we now want to help him set up a trial project. So we're looking for one or two bright sparks to set up a pilot in the Manchester area to test the viability of a business dedicated to recycling rope and other climbing equipment. It's an ideal opportunity for a recent graduate looking for experience on how to set up and run a social enterprise and learn about sustainability. Interested? For the full story and how to apply, follow the link below.
