How to Make a Fairy JarBy: Heidi Borchers Show off your girly side and learn how to make a Fairy Jar from Heidi Borchers. Glass jar crafts like this one allow you to use recyclable materials and trim your trash. This is a fun and simple project that doesn't require a lot of time or craft expertise. Start by tracing a circle the size of the jar lide on a piece of thin cardboard (you can upcycle a cereal box) and on an Aleene's Tacky Double Stick Sheet. Peel the backing off of the sheet and adhere a piece of scrapbook paper and cut the paper so it matched the circle. Glue moss and fairy figurine to the paper using Aleene's Super Thick Tacky Glue. Once you've created your desired landscrape, allow the glue to dry and place the piece inside the jar. Create a second circle using the double stick sheets. Punch a circle through the sheet once paper is attached and insert a piece of microfilament. Glue the lid onto the jar and allow to dry. Display this piece on a table top during a summer gathering or leave a few in your garden. For a step-by-step photo tutorial of this project, check out Recycled Fairy Jar.

The convergence of local and global changes compounds the impacts on fragile but important high mountain ecosystems. Increased radiation and warmer temperatures cause plants normally found at lower elevations to move upslope. Invasive plant, animal and insect species also migrate, disrupting the delicate biological machinery that makes páramos and high forests function as a fine-tuned water storage and distribution system.
Instead of precipitation in the form of fog, páramos and forests receive more precipitation as rain. This affects the plants adapted to collecting moisture from fog and the soil, because they are unaccustomed to heavier rain droplets. Those heavier raindrops also compact the soil, causing it to absorb less water and increasing runoff and sediment, which clog rivers and contribute significantly to lowland flooding.
As awareness of climate change and other kinds of environmental degradation grows, the Colombian government is starting to respond. One example is a collaboration between the national government, the city of Bogotá and the environmental organization Conservation International on a páramo restoration project.
The plan calls for limiting local environmental degradation in protected areas, like Chingaza, through the creation of a 1.5 million-acre conservation corridor connecting the park with the nearby páramos of Guerrero and Sumapaz, the largest páramo in the world. It also seeks better protection of privately-owned lands in the vicinity that are being cleared for cattle ranching and potato farming.
Part of that scheme includes training for local farmers and ranchers in using more sustainable practices. Conservation International is developing a forest carbon project, using the sale of carbon credits to compensate landowners for setting aside portions of their land for conservation and forest restoration.
"When we understand that these ecosystems are offering important services – not only the supply of water, but the regulation of water," said Patricia Bejarano-Mora, land-use planning coordinator for Conservation International's Colombia office.
"At this point maybe the solution is not works of engineering, like building dykes, but conservation of forests and eco-hydrology," she added. "Policies are beginning to recognize that."

That's right good evening -- some high drama here we've just -- the president's leaving for Hawaii in about ninety minutes from now.
First though he -- here at the -- -- -- senator -- he called speaker -- they came -- to the podium behind he laid out a -- three point plan that he -- can pass in the next ten days basically extend tax cuts for 98% of the public extend unemployment benefits for two million people and then come back next -- and deal with actual spending cuts and deficit reduction while he said that was achievable by January 1 to avoid the -- after last -- it's unclear whether anything compact.
Just as our economy.
Really starting to recover and we're starting to see optimistic science and we've seen actually.
Some -- statistics.
From a whole range of areas including housing.
Does not the time.
For more self inflicted wounds.
Certainly not those come from Washington.
President Obama's top advisors were quick to dump on speaker John Boehner.
Declaring he's back into a corner after the fall back to buckle they went from plan B -- plan C a later.
The fact that they couldn't even pass that was.

If the market takes a big hit the commander and people still faced his share of heat.
The Washington dysfunction appoint Republicans are hammering.
The US economy is at stake here millions upon millions of families -- count on us to do something.
Look there's the president's jaw with his jaw.
To find a solution that can pass the congress.
He's the only one who can do it.
The president's response this week has been to make clear he's already compromised during the course of these negotiations.
I offered to compromise with the Republicans in congress.
I met them halfway on taxes and I met them more than half way on spending.
-- -- spending cuts so it's important to note the president's new three point plan that short term.
Bill did not mention the sequester those automatic massive spending cuts.
Coming at the beginning of the year to the Pentagon and other federal agency so we have to figure out what happens there he urged lawmakers.

The Curse Of The Antichrist - Live In Agony
To quote the source, "Destruction strikes back… A devastating thrash attack…"
As a partner in the holy trinity of German thrash alongside Kreator and Sodom, Destruction's career arc has followed that of their brothers. Like both of those bands, Destruction started strong in the early 80's, releasing some undeniably brilliant thrashing madness, and like those two bands, they stalled out a bit in their middle period, making some line-up changes, getting dropped from their label and in turn dropping some uninspired records that did little to uphold their legacy. Like Sodom and Kreator, Destruction managed to right their ship in the new millennium, releasing several stout (if arguably not untouchable) records within the last ten years. They also seem determined to not let a calendar year elapse without a new release of some kind. To fill the 2009 slot, having already given us a DVD and a disc of rerecorded classics, Destruction now brings us a live album, their second of the decade.
Compiling the band's 2007 performance at Wacken Open Air with a more recent performance in Tokyo, The Antichrist - Live In Agony features a host of vintage Destruction gems ("Curse The Gods," "Bestial Invasion," "Death Trap") alongside newer tunes like "The Butcher Strikes Back" and "Thrash Til Death," which appears twice. As an added bonus, the Wacken set features guest appearances from Blitz of Overkill, Angelripper of Sodom, Oddlief of Communic and Peavy of Rage, all of whom join the band on a vicious run through "The Alliance Of Hellhounds." For long-time supporters, there's even more of a bonus: the band recently passed the twenty-five year mark, and to celebrate that anniversary, they've set up a Destruction family reunion. The second-disc medley of "The Antichrist / Reject Emotions / Thrash Till Death" sees former drummers Oliver Kaisel and Sven Vormann returning to bash the skins alongside current drummer Marc Reign. After that, former drummer Tommy Senmann pops in on vocals for "Total Desaster," which also sees the return of former guitarist Harry Wilkens.
I've never seen these guys play in person, but based on these two sets, I'd say it's safe to call Destruction a pretty ripping live act. For only three guys, they certainly pack a solid wallop. Their songs are as tight and tightly chaotic on stage as on the initial releases—the old tunes have aged well, and all the tracks, both new and old, rock like hell with the infused energy of the live setting. Mike Sifringer's guitars are razor sharp, and Schmier's voice sounds like…well, Schmier… with his trademark banshee wails still sounding like they did in 1986, punctuating his gravelly thrash snarl with bloodcurdling highs.
The only surprises in this hour-and-a-half long set are in the guest appearances, but Live In Agony leaves nothing to complain about in any capacity, aside from that some long-standing fans will likely have a song or two that should've been included in place of a song or two that shouldn't have. When all is thrashed and done, even as it serves well as a retrospective, Live In Agony is a live album, with all the pros and cons that come with that, and its place in your collection is determined by your need for live versions of many of Destruction's finest tunes. Still, Destruction is legendary for a reason (or several), and killer songs and spirited performances like this are definitely the lion's share of how they've managed to make it for twenty-five years. Not mandatory, but worthy.

Edward Weinman on the inspiration for his chilling story from 66 degrees North, "Almost a Christmas Miracle." It's set in Iceland, where Weinman spent more than a decade writing for magazines and film. Read it here, download it for any device, or gift it to a friend–it's the holidays, after all.
The idea for this piece came from a story I heard when I first moved to Iceland to work as a magazine journalist for Iceland Review and Atlantica. I drove to a small town in the East Fjords to write a piece about a country doctor who had to travel great distances in a four-wheel drive jeep to treat her patients because she was the only doctor around for miles. Trying to interview locals for the story, I meet up against great resistance. Upon returning to Reykjavik, a friend's father told me that when he moved from Denmark to Iceland as a little boy the locals treated him like a pariah because he was seen as an outsider. My friend's father remembered how when he and his mother would walk through town, the locals would stare at them through the windows of their homes. And when he and his mother would wave, the locals would shut their curtains. Witnessing locals wary of outsiders fascinated me. I always wondered why these locals were so reticent to talk to a stranger. I wondered what secrets they must be afraid of revealing. I find this behavior similar to what happens in this country to those considered outsiders, those the locals label as "other." – EW
EDWARD WEINMAN spent nearly one fourth of his life as an expat on Iceland, enduring many long, dark, cold, windy, gray winters. But he made it out alive, without kids, and having suffered only one nervous breakdown. His debut thriller, The Ring Road, is born out of his life in Reykjavik where he worked as a travel writer. His journalism has been picked up byThe Associated Press and The Sunday Times of London, among others. Edward co-wrote the film A Little Trip to Heaven, a psychological thriller starring Forest Whitaker, Jeremy Renner and Julia Stiles, which screened at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival. Edward earned his MFA in writing, literature and publishing from Emerson College in Boston.

Paul Driessen is a senior policy advisor with the Committee For A Constructive Tomorrow and Center for the Defense of Free Enterprise, nonprofit public policy institutes that focus on energy, the environment, economic development and international affairs. He is the author of Green Power, Black Death (Merril Press, 2010) and coauthor of Energy Keepers, Energy Killers (Merril Press, 2008).
During a 25-year career that included staff tenures with the United States Senate, Department of the Interior and an energy trade association, he has spoken and written frequently on energy and environmental policy, global climate change, corporate social responsibility and other topics. He's also written articles and professional papers on marine life associated with oil platforms off the coasts of California and Louisiana – and produced a video documentary on the subject.
A former member of the Sierra Club and Zero Population Growth, he abandoned their cause when he recognized that the environmental movement had become intolerant in its views, inflexible in its demands, unwilling to recognize our tremendous strides in protecting the environment, and insensitive to the needs of billions of people who lack the food, electricity, safe water, healthcare and other basic necessities that we take for granted.
Driessen received his BA in geology and field ecology from Lawrence University, JD from the University of Denver College of Law, and accreditation in public relations from the Public Relations Society of America.

Michigan Senate Passes Medicaid Expansion Bill
The bill will provide health care for 470,000 additional low-income Michigan residents.
After hours of political debate, the state Senate approved a plan late Tuesday to expand Medicaid health care coverage to 470,000 low-income Michigan residents.
The Senate's 20-18 vote makes Michigan the 25th state in the country to move forward with Medicaid expansion as part of the federal government's Affordable Care Act.
Eight Republican senators joined with all 12 Democrats – including Sen. Vincent Gregory, D-Southfield, who represents Huntington Woods – to support the expansion. Sen. John Pappageorge, R-Troy, who represents Berkley, voted against the bill.
"The Senate should be commended for approving the Healthy Michigan plan, which will make a difference in the lives of nearly half a million Michiganders along with saving tax dollars and boosting our economy," Gov. Rick Snyder said in a written statement following the vote.
The Medicaid expansion extends benefits to people who fall within 133 percent of the federal poverty level. Benefits will be fully compensated by the federal government through 2017. The federal contribution would drop to 90 percent by 2020.
The bill requires recipients to contribute 5 percent of their out-of-pocket medical costs. After 48 months, the co-pay would increase to 7 percent or the recipient could purchase insurance on the health care exchange. If a person is determined to be "medically frail" — defined as having a chronic disease, mental illness or are unable to complete the daily tasks of life — they would remain at the 5 percent co-pay.
"The Healthy Michigan plan emphasizes personal responsibility. Those covered by the plan will be required to share in the costs through premiums. There also will be incentives for them to take responsibility for their lifestyle choices and to maintain or improve their health," Snyder said.
Michigan AFL-CIO President Karla Swift thanked the Senate for passing the bill on Tuesday.
"Medicaid expansion is a victory for over 400,000 of Michigan's most vulnerable families, but the way in which it was passed was plagued with political gamesmanship and months of delays. Today's vote made it clear that the Tea Party controls some Lansing politicians," she said. "While they were busy playing games and negotiating back room deals, the lives of children, veterans, and the working poor were on the line. We urge our representatives in the House to pass the revised bill as soon as possible. Every second counts in the lives of Michigan's most vulnerable citizens."
Some Michigan residents, however, said the vote was "too little, too late."
"Only after facing overwhelming pressure from the majority of the public that elected them to do the right thing have Senate Republicans finally acted – and even then, this bogus vote is too little, too late," said Marcia Bridges, a home care worker in Eastpointe. "Refusing to vote on this lifesaving bipartisan plan in the first place has put Michiganders – including children and people with disabilities – at risk. Now, Speaker Jase Bolger, his Republican House colleagues and Gov. Rick Snyder are on the clock to get this done without anymore delays that put people's health and lives at risk."
The state House of Representatives approved a health care expansion plan in June. It is not expected to vote on the Senate's plan until after Labor Day. Because waivers requested by Michigan are expected to take up to 120 days for approval by the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Michigan will miss the Jan. 1, 2014, implementation date. The delay could cost taxpayers $7 million a day in lost funding because the federal money would be sent to other states.
"The Senate Republicans dragged their feet long enough and they must be held accountable," said Joanne McKenzie, a home care worker from Grand Rapids. "This vote is about one simple idea: reducing suffering and saving lives. Instead, they allowed themselves to be held hostage to the Tea Party and a small but vocal minority of extremists who put politics before people."

1) you have a cell phone.
Yes a flip non-smart phone. Lost it once and people who found it couldn't figure out how to answer it when I called.
2) you have a tv.
2 TVs. One 36" and one 20". Both 7yrs old and neither one are HD or flat screen.
3) you can afford to get tattoos.
I don't have any tattoos; I've been told getting one is more annoying than painful (depending on where you get it) I get enough annoyance from car drivers and some of my customers.
4) you can afford to eat out.
yes I do, sometimes a little too much.
5) you can afford to buy cigarettes.
Don't believe in cigarettes, I think they are disgusting.
FYI I didn't vote for obama, and not romney either. and also not barr. To answer your question from before, I've been busy working.

The next phase of St. John's University's Emergency Preparedness efforts commenced on January 21 with installation of wiring for public address speakers in the six dormitories comprising the Residence Village on the Queens campus.
After wiring the dormitories is complete, installers will move to other buildings on the Queens campus and concurrently, to buildings on the Staten Island and Manhattan campuses, according to Vice President of Public Safety Thomas J. Lawrence.
The new public address speakers will transmit voice messages to augment the University's ability to provide instructions and information during a campus emergency. They join other communications tools—text and voice messages, email, web messaging (University Web site, intranet, St. John's Central), electronic signs, and the University's various internal and external phone systems— used at St. John's to reach out to the University community.
Vice President Lawrence explains that the Residence Village was the logical choice as the first area to be fitted with the new system. "The safety of our students remains our highest priority," he reminds, "and those buildings are occupied 24/7. This new PA system is another weapon in our Emergency Preparedness arsenal and will enhance our ability to alert the University community of a campus emergency quickly and effectively."
Several types of speakers will be installed depending on the location—indoor or outdoor, wall- or pole-mounted, for example—and the area needing coverage. Lawrence emphasizes that these speakers are being installed solely for the purpose of emergency notification but that periodic testing of the system will be necessary and will be announced to the affected community well in advance of the test.
Other ways to reach the community, Lawrence says, are still being considered. The next step will most likely be installing additional classroom phones to transmit emergency information directly into a classroom where cell phones might be turned off. "That was a reality we encountered last September on the Queens campus," he notes, adding that he anticipates a contract will be signed in the near future.

Earl Weaver and the cigarette ejection
Posted by Bruce MarkusenA reader's comment from last week has spurred some additional research and a follow-up to the loss of Hall of Fame manager Earl Weaver.
Faithful reader Dennis Bedard asked me to provide some details on Weaver's ejection from a game in 1969. That prompted a trip to the Hall of Fame Library and a look at some long-ago editions of The Sporting News.
On Aug. 2, 1969, Weaver and the Orioles played the middle game of a weekend series at Metropolitan Stadium against the Twins. In the very first inning, third base umpire Bill Haller, who was working with Jim Honochick, Ron Luciano and Frank Umont, saw something amiss. Haller approached the Baltimore dugout and ejected Weaver. The reason? Haller saw Weaver smoking in the dugout, which is a violation of baseball's rules but one not often enforced.
Weaver was not pleased with the ejection. According to the report in The Sporting News, he flashed an obscene gesture toward the umpire before exchanging a few words with him. Weaver wasn't done. During the finale of the series, he walked to home plate sporting a taffy cigarette in his mouth. (Candy cigarettes were all the rage in the late '60s and early '70s.) It was a clear mockery of Haller's decision to eject him from the Friday night game.
Several days after the incident, a fan in the stands drew a sketch of an orange and black bird smoking a cigarette. The fan gave the comical picture to Orioles reliever Pete Richert, who was sitting in the dugout. Richert then passed the picture along to Weaver.
The third game of the weekend series with the Twins brought more controversy. In the first inning, Frank Robinson argued a called strike. Weaver joined him in the conversation. That brought two ejections: Both Weaver and Robinson received sendoffs from home plate umpire Umont. So for the second straight game, Weaver found himself in the clubhouse before the first inning had even ended.
After the second ejection, Umont said that Weaver "must change in a lot of ways" before he would gain the respect of the umpires. Orioles beat writer Doug Brown also criticized Weaver, saying that his constant baiting of the umpires was undermining his otherwise impressive abilities in running a good game and his smart platooning of players.
Weaver didn't appear to take the incident very seriously. He told a story of an encounter with a young child. "A 10-year-old kid pleaded with me tonight, 'Earl, please do it again. Please go to the plate with a taffy cigarette.'" To the best of my knowledge, Weaver never repeated the stunt, perhaps out of fear of a suspension from American League president Joe Cronin.
Weaver, however, did not exactly become a shrinking violet after the cigarette incident. He would continue to receive ejections at a near record pace, eventually totaling 94 for his career, which puts him third on the all-time list behind Bobby Cox and John McGraw. So Weaver never really did calm his relationship with the umpires, but it didn't prevent the Orioles from winning divisions and pennants, nor did it prevent Weaver from taking his place in the Hall of Fame.

The flagship model in the Boxster range has also evolved: the Boxster S.
It presents an even more athletic interpretation of the roadster concept. More powerful and more efficient. Its brand new engine is now fitted with direct fuel injection (DFI) as standard. For increased torque and power – with a simultaneous reduction in fuel consumption. The result is 228 kW (310 hp) at 6,400 rpm and a maximum torque of 360 Nm at 4,400 – 5,500 rpm. It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 5.3 seconds.
With the optional Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) and 'Launch Control' from the optional Sport Chrono Package, just 5 seconds. Fuel con- sumption is further reduced by up to 15% depending on the type of gearbox, and CO2 emissions by up to 16%.
As well as the 18-inch Boxster S II wheels in a dynamic design, the Boxster S is fitted with a braking system which is distinguished by its red-painted calipers. The rear brake discs are thicker than those on the Boxster for increased stability under braking.
The front air intake grilles are painted black for a striking contrast. Together with the centrally mounted tailpipe in a new design, they give the car a powerful presence.
In the interior, as well as leather on the steering wheel, gear/PDK selector lever, handbrake and door handle, the Boxster S has leather trim on the storage compartment covers in the door and the rear centre console. The instrument dials are aluminiumcoloured.
These are just the facts. To experience the performance of the Boxster S, we can only offer one piece of advice: you really need to drive it.

Judgment Fund:
Treasury's Estimates of Claim Payment Processing Costs under the No FEAR Act and Contract Disputes Act
GAO-04-481, Apr 28, 2004
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-9490
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
The Notification and Federal Employee Antidiscrimination and Retaliation (No FEAR) Act, which took effect October 1, 2003, requires agencies to repay discrimination settlements and judgments paid on their behalf. The No FEAR Act is similar to the Contract Disputes Act (CDA) of 1978, which holds agencies accountable for payment in contract disputes. Under both laws, federal agencies must reimburse the Judgment Fund, which is administered by the Treasury Department. Before the No FEAR Act, agencies did not have to repay the fund. The No FEAR Act requires GAO to review the financial impact on Treasury of administering that law and CDA. Based on this requirement, this report provides information on (1) Treasury's estimates of its costs to process discrimination claim payments and CDA payments in fiscal year 2003 and its costs to process and seek reimbursement for claim payments under lawsuits covered by the No FEAR Act beginning in fiscal year 2004, (2) differences in claims processing and reimbursement efforts under CDA and the No FEAR Act, and (3) the extent of federal agency compliance with CDA's reimbursement requirements and Treasury's view of how effective its No FEAR Act collection efforts may be. We make no recommendations in this report. Treasury officials had no official comment on the report.
Treasury estimates that it cost about $334,000 to certify, pay, and seek reimbursement for CDA claim payments in fiscal year 2003, and about $240,000 to certify and pay discrimination claims that year. For fiscal year 2004, assuming relatively constant case and processing cost levels, and agency compliance with reimbursement requirements similar to that experienced under CDA, Treasury estimates that it will incur about $171,500 in personnel costs in order to seek reimbursements for No FEAR claim payments. These include recurring costs to set up and administer accounts receivable and seek reimbursement from agencies for claims paid out of the Judgment Fund and a one-time cost for in-house personnel to upgrade computer systems. Although the certification, payment, and accounting processes that Treasury uses for the No FEAR Act are virtually the same as those used for CDA, the procedures Treasury is required to use to seek reimbursement for claims paid under the No FEAR Act will differ. For example, as part of Treasury's effort to seek reimbursement for No FEAR Act claims paid, No FEAR Act regulations require Treasury to record on its public Web site the failure of agencies to make reimbursement or arrange to make reimbursement within a specified time limit. There is no similar requirement under CDA claims. During fiscal years 2001, 2002, and 2003, federal agencies reimbursed Treasury for fewer than one of every five dollars owed under CDA, with at least 18 agencies having unpaid amounts at the end of each fiscal year. According to Treasury, while its No FEAR Act collection efforts are just beginning, reimbursement rates under the act may be as low as under CDA because the No FEAR Act, like CDA, does not impose reimbursement deadlines on agencies, and Treasury has very little authority to enforce reimbursement.

Today I officially felt like I became a sailorman
Ok so here is the story. Ernesto is coming up the coast. This morning I go out to check Dove sitting out on her mooring. Pumps are working fine but they are continuously cycling, there is a significant leak some place. After not being in the water for 30 years I expected as much.
So Knowing that the wind and tide are going to be unusually high and expected heavy showers I'm concerned with her out there on the hook all alone. 10:00hrs I get down and check both Tidbit and then down to Garrison to check on Dove. Take the dink out and all systems are operating the bilge pump is cycling and there is little water in the bilge.
18:00hrs I get a call from John Guinan - Joe your boat is listing to port and the winds are coming in hard, rain is coming down, and the tide is freaky high. The south dock is going under water. Ya might wanna come and check on yer boat. So I run and get a spare battery, an extra bilge pump, some hose, some dock line, and and a large electric sump pump with a float switch.
So down to the dock I go and sure enough the tide is some of the highest I have ever seen. Way above the dock. I talk with the dock-masters son and he says there is a slip on the floating docks on the inside of the marina I could use and it has shore power for the pump. Ahhh but how to get her there. No motor, heavy rain, and strong wind. I make a mental note that the tide is still coming ion on a heavy flood. The wind is unusually coming out of the south and has let up a bit.
I wade through 6 inch of water over the dock, thank God for my trusty Crock's Jump on the dingy dock and launch lil'bit. Out to Dove we row, through the rain and tide. hook up and asses the situation. She is OK but the choice is let her ride out the storm just on the remaining battery power of the one bilge pump or take advantage of the offered slip. Arrrrrg am I not a river sailorman ? I get in Dove raise the sails, asses the wind direction and tide while still on the hook. I think I can handle this maneuver says I. Unhook her and catch a nice southerly. Ease out the main and pull the mizzen in a lil'bit. bringing her stern around. then on a nice reach I make the parallel heading along the now submerged outer south dock. Starboard tack into the narrow marina opening. Once again pulling the Mizen in before the main to bring her stern around, I'm liking this ketch sailing Angle into the slip as smooth as silk. I knew I had just one shot to do it perfectly. I'm utterly amazed that anyone let alone me could sail a small boat off a mooring around a submerged dock into a narrow opening, turn and position the boat to a single slip, with nothing more that skill, wind and tide. No motor, no bow thrusters, nada. I was unbelievably proud, I felt like this one small task confirmed me as a true sailor.
I cleated her off on the slip. Fixed the sump pump and plugged it in. Immediately it started to cycle. and Dove was safe from Ernesto. I walked into the Pub at Guinans with all the boys who watched me and saw their jaw drop when I explained Dove has no Motor. They all had assumed she had some form of aux power. Lots of congratulations on my sailing skills.
We still have to sail her back up to Cold Spring and pull her and locate the source of the leak and repair it. But for now she is OK.
Today was a good sailing day. I know Neptune will exact his revenge someday but today was not that day.

What is IEs4Linux?
IEs4Linux is the simpler way to have Microsoft Internet Explorer running on Linux (Linux or any OS running Wine like Mac OS X and other BSDs).
No clicks needed. No boring setup processes. No Wine complications. Just one easy script and you'll get many IE versions to test your Sites. And it's free and open source.
We currently support IE6, IE5.5 and IE5. There is also beta support for IE7 and IE8.
Should I use IEs4Linux?
IEs4Linux was born 8 years ago, when IE6 was the most important browser in the world. Linux users needed to test their sites on IE6 and older versions of that time - IE5.5 and IE5.0.
Nowadays, IE6 usage is insignificant and IE5.x no loger exists. IE10 is the current version, and most people already use IE9 or IE8. IEs4Linux can't support this newer browsers anymore, since they're very advanced (a good thing). IEs4Linux had its time helping lots of people support old IE versions. But if need to support most recente IEs, I recommend VirtualBox or VMware running Windows on your Linux/Mac machine. Much easier and reliable.
How can I get this wonderful software?
Oh man, it saved my life! How can I thank you?
See how to help this project.

April 18 - Weekly Rap
By Rick ScottGot spring classics fever like the rest of us here at The Weekly Rap? We've got plenty of the hottest racing action for you from Europe where the temperatures have been unseasonably warm while here in the U.S., frigid temps, blustery winds and even snow pelted the domestic peloton in Virginia. Ride with us as we catch up on the scene.
Hablas Espanol?
The first Spanish stage race of the season, Vuelta a Castilla y Leon, began with a 10 km time trial. While the early starters were blessed with dry roads, stage winner Vladimir Karpets (Caisse d'Epargne) didn't let the rain slow him on his ride to victory. The sprinters had their day in stage 2 with Saunier Duval-Prodir's Francisco Ventoso proving to have the fastest legs. Ditto in stage 3 with Ventoso winning after a long three-man break was caught in the final kilometer. With Karpets still in the GC lead, his team had their work cut out for them in the hilly stage 4 that culminated in a mountaintop finish. After the early break was reeled in by the Caisse d'Epargne-driven peloton, two more men tried their hand before Discovery Channel, riding for Alberto Contador, stamped their authority on the race. Saunier Duval-Prodir's Koldo Gil attacked on a climb and Contador and Caisse d'Epargne's David Lopez made the gap. Lopez fell off the pace and Gil couldn't keep up with Contador's accelerations on the final climb. With Karpets cracked, Contador took over the leader's jersey. In the final stage, a five-man break was caught in the final meters with the impressive 24-year-old Ventoso scoring the hat trick. Despite the tag-team attacks on the climbs from Saunier Duval-Prodir's 2nd place (Gil) and 3rd place (Juan Jose Cobo) GC finishers, Contador met the challenge and held on for the overall win.
Nothing like the criteriums in the U.S.
Many of the Grand Tour contenders came out to test their early season form at the Criterium International in France. The race is like a mini-Tour with something for everyone in that it consists of a primarily flat road race, a hilly road race and a time trial all staged over two days. Stage 1 was held in the rain with two-time Amgen Tour of California stage winner Olaf Pollack (Wiesenhof-Felt) winning the sprint after the peloton caught a valiant solo attempt made by Lampre's Damiano Cuenego, who fled with 3 km to go only to be caught just short of the line by the sprinters. A double-header was on tap for Sunday and in the early show, everyone's hero Jens Voigt (CSC) dropped his two breakaway companions and rode away solo for the final 25 km to take out the win. He finished with enough of an advantage - 48 seconds - that he appeared to be unbeatable in the afternoon time trial. Thomas Lovkvist (Francaise de Jeux) won the short 8.3 km stage and catapulted himself into 2nd place overall, but Voigt was not to be denied his third GC win at Criterium International.
Four at Three
The final tune-up race before the Tour of Flanders was Three Days of De Panne, which is actually four stages in three days. All the ballers expected to shine at Flanders were in the house such as Tom "Beastie Boy" Boonen, "Franken" Stijn Devolder, Lampre's pretty pink & blue star Alessandro Ballan, Leif "Garrett" Hoste, and Liquigas' speedboys Luca Paolini and Filippo Pozzato. Paolini attacked with Ballan to collect the stage 1 win. Lampre's other fastman, Daniele Benatti, got it right in stage 2 by acing the pack sprint with gusto. Quick Step has more than just Boonen as Gert Steegmans dashed to victory in the pack sprint in stage 3. Later that afternoon, Devolder powered to win the 11 km time trial. Ballan climbed atop the top step of the podium as the overall winner, making him the man to beat in Flanders.
Ronde Van Vlaanderen
The Tour of Flanders is a hard man's race. It's 259 kilometers in Belgium, including 18 cobble stone hills to climb in the second half of the race that is typically held in windy, cold temperatures and rain-slicked roads. Over one million spectators lined the course for one of the biggest one-day races of the year. With America's greatest hope, George Hincapie, home nursing a broken wrist, and two pure sprinter's not taking the start – Robbie McEwen and Alessandro Petacchi – all eyes were focused upon Ballan, Hoste, World Champions Paolo Bettini and Fabian Cancellara, Stuart O'Grady (CSC), aging classic's star Peter Van Petegem (Quick Step), and the man looking for his third consecutive Flanders win, Boonen. The weather looked more like Southern California on a gorgeous spring day, which some believe might have kept the pack together longer causing more crashes than normal in a race that was also very aggressive and filled with attacks. Many of the marquee stars crashed, including Boonen, Cancellara, and Erik Zabel, while Paolini and Van Petegem both hit the pavement twice. Boonen crashed in the first 50 km after a friendly neighborhood fireman hosed down the road, which left the Belgian rock star with achy knees and pain in his wrist.
A seven-man early break opened up a 12-minute lead in the first 80 kms. Then it was the crashes that helped shrink the chasing peloton. The "real" racing was ignited by Cancellara, who lit it up with 49 km to go, which set off a bevy of attacks and counter-attacks. With Quick Step sitting in to protect Boonen, riding up front were Bettini, O'Grady, Rabobank's Michael Boogerd and Oscar Freire, Benatti, Vladimir Gusev (Discovery Channel) and T-Mobile's Bernard Eisel and Marcus Burghardt. Being a loyal teammate for Boonen, Steegmans got a free ride on Cancellara's wheel, which frustrated the Swiss time machine. Boonen finally attacked on the steep Muur with 16 km to the finish, which was covered by Ballan, Hoste, Bennati and Nick Nuyens (Cofidis). Cancellara took another dig, but Ballan caught him and attacked up the Grammont, dropping Boonen. Initially Boogerd and Hoste were able to stick, but Boogerd swiftly fell off the pace. Ballan and Hoste opened up an 8-second gap that grew to 20 seconds on the Bosberg, the final climb of the day. A group of 13 chasers attempted to nail back the break, closing it down to 11 seconds with 3 km to go. Thomas Vaitkus and Karsten Kroon got caught in no man's land between the leaders and the threatening chasers, but Ballan and Hoste were determined to settle the matter themselves. In the sprint for the win, it looked like Hoste finally got it right after two previous 2nd place finishes in his native country's race, but with 50 meters to go, Ballan recovered and burst through for the biggest win of the young Italian's career. A disappointed Hoste had to settle for 2nd for a third time. Paolini, who had to change his shoes midway through the race after breaking a cleat, completed the podium.
Cobblestones & wind means we're in Belgium, right?
Wrong. Try Virginia for the inaugural U.S. Open Cycling Championship, which trekked from colonial Williamsburg to Richmond. The race start was delayed due to temperatures in the teens, snow and savage winds. When the race finally did get underway, the 65-mile ride to Richmond was marked by harsh crosswinds, snow and temps only in the 20s. Riders attempted breaks, probably to get warm, but they didn't get far until the peloton reached Richmond, where the skies were clear and the sun was shining. Once in Richmond, the riders faced eight technical circuits, including trips up the cobbled Libby Hill section. Gregorio Vega (Tecos) was the first to get away for a while and he was joined by Navigator's Insurance Phil Zajicek. Toyota-United's Ivan Stevic drove the successful chase and catch. Successful Living/Parkpre's Alessandro Bazzana was next to flee, with Henk Vogels (Toyota-United) and Shawn Milne (HealthNet) accompanying him, but they were reabsorbed after 5 miles. Team Slipstream's Pat McCarty made the decisive move of the day with 15 miles to go and was quickly joined by Symmetrics' Svein Tuft. The duo worked well together to build a 30-second advantage over a seven-man chase group that contained Amgen Tour of California stage winner Ivan Dominguez. No one wanted to tow the Toyota-United sprinter to the line. With one of McCarty's teammates, Lucas Euser, also sitting in, the chase group couldn't get the cooperation they needed to make headway. On the final trip up Libby Hill, Tuft pulled away from McCarty and the Canadian time trial champ rode home solo for the win.
The Cool Down
No one has won more stages at the Amgen Tour of California than Juan Jose Haedo. His success at the race – two stage wins last year and two more this year - earned the sprinter an upgrade from one of the top domestic teams, Toyota-United, to one of the best ProTour teams in the world, CSC. But could he win in Europe? You betcha. J.J. won the Tour of Cologne in Germany by rocketing past none other than Ale Jet Petacchi. It's going to be exciting to watch Argentinean's star rise.
Last year, critics said that the Discovery Channel team had a disappointing season in their first post-Lance year even though they did win stages and held the lead in all three Grand Tours. This year, Disco is off to a rip-roaring start and they hold the early season team lead in the ProTour courtesy of impressive wins by Contador, Amgen Tour of California winner Levi Leipheimer, Yaroslov Popoyvch, Egoi Martinez, and other team members.

Wage and Hour Division (WHD)
Press Releases
U.S. Department of Labor |
NEW YORK -- The U.S. Department of Labor has taken legal action to recover $12,680 in back wages for 12 employees of C.J.L. Construction Inc., based in the Bronx, who were working on a public housing project funded in part by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
An investigation by the Labor Department's Wage and Hour Division revealed that the company and its officials had violated wage, classification and other requirements of the Davis-Bacon Act on the federally funded Ciena Project, located at 30-324 E. 100 St. in Manhattan, which is part of the Metro North Rehabilitation Redevelopment Program.
In filing an order of reference with the department's Office of Administrative Law Judges, the Labor Department is seeking not only full restitution of all back wages due employees but also the debarment of C.J.L. Construction Inc., president Joaquim Moreira and manager Marco Ferreira to prevent them from working on future federally-funded contracts for a period of up to three years.
"On this project, C.J.L. misclassified cement mason finishers as cement/laborer workers and failed to pay them proper prevailing wages," said Maria Rosado, the New York district director for the Wage and Hour Division. "In addition, the company failed to pay employees for all the hours they worked, failed to maintain required records of their employment, and submitted falsified statements of compliance and falsified certified payrolls. Needless to say, such flagrant violations of the law will not be tolerated."
C.J.L. was a subcontractor to Lettire Construction Corp., which itself was a subcontractor on the contract awarded by the New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development to prime contractors Hobbs Ciena Associates L.P. and Hobbs Ciena Housing Development Fund Corp.
This investigation was conducted by the New York City District Office of the Labor Department's Wage and Hour Division. The back wages found due to the workers were determined according to the requirements of the Davis-Bacon Act, which requires all contractors and subcontractors performing work on federal and certain federally-funded projects to pay their laborers and mechanics the proper prevailing wage rates and fringe benefits as determined by the secretary of labor.
For more information on the Davis-Bacon Act and other federal laws administered by the Wage and Hour Division, call the division's toll-free helpline at 866-4US-WAGE (487-9243). Information is also available at http://www.dol.gov/whd.
U.S. Department of Labor releases are accessible on the Internet at www.dol.gov. The information in this news release will be made available in alternate format (large print, Braille, audio tape or disc) from the COAST office upon request. Please specify which news release when placing your request at (202) 693-7828 or TTY (202) 693-7755. The Labor Department is committed to providing America's employers and employees with easy access to understandable information on how to comply with its laws and regulations.

Nation's voters chose Obama
Our resident neo-con Dan Barton is out again bashing President Obama ("Despite it all, a second term," Letters, Nov. 21). Like other neo-cons around the country, they are still crying about the loss of their candidate. One word to Mr. Barton: The people vote and vote for the right candidate; that's what we call electoral process.
Though Mr. Barton seems to hate Obama, 51 percent of the voters voted for him. Mr. Barton makes several points that are very wrong, typical conservative pundit talk. If Mr. Barton spends so much time listening to TV and radio conservative garbage, of course his electric bill goes up. If his certificates of deposit went down, he should blame President Bush. And taxes are not going up to pay for abortions; that's Fox and Rush talk.
North Carolina and Missouri went for Romney; so what? Obama got 327 electoral votes and a second term. So Mr. Barton should take it like a man, accept the beating and wait four more years. Hillary Clinton in 2016.
I find Rebecca Sinclair's ("General's wife says Bragg friends 'a rock,' " Nov. 21) attempted justification of her husband's shameful actions insulting and offensive to the countless thousands of service members who remain faithful to their spouses and continue to serve honorably while serving numerous deployments in combat zones.
Jeffrey Sinclair's wanton disregard of the Ten Commandments, his wedding vows and the Uniform Code of Military Justice have more to do with lack of discipline, lack of commitment, arrogance and abuse of power than with the stress of combat and deployments.
Gen. Sinclair's actions are a disgrace and an embarrassment to the Profession of Arms, and his wife's attempts to justify and vindicate them are not supported by this Army spouse.
Furthermore, I believe had Sgt. Average Joe been accused of the same alleged actions/behavior as Brig. Gen. Jeffrey Sinclair, Mrs. Sgt. Average Joe's article would never have been published in the Washington Post or The Fayetteville Observer.

2nd part of the interview released by China.com today. Here is a link to the original text: http://ml.china.com.cn/html/guanzhu/20111115/9393.html
Since his debuts, Wallace had played mostly a positive role but in Qing Shi Huang Fei, in which he acted as Liu Lian Cheng, was being viewed as a bad guy.
During the interview we mentioned about these comments, but Wallace didn't think so: "He isn't a villain. I thought I could give this role a little more controversial, such as some paranoid, overbearing, or self-esteem, and more complex character. He isn't particularly a bad person, although for the sake of his love he may be hardship toward other people and things he did.
In the play, he infatuated Ma Fuya. There's little smile on the Bei Han emperor's face unless he's with her. His words: "In my heart, no one can replace her. It's fortunate for me that I met her!"
He spoke with tearing throat: "She is not a woman of the enemy, she's my woman, I'll use all my power to make her fall in love with me." He said: "I put you in the Red Phoenix Palace, if anyone disturbs you, I'll kill him.". He said softly to her: "As long as I'm alive, I won't let anyone hurts you, I want you to be the happiest woman in the world.". He used his last breath to tell Ma Fuya: "I want you to know, there are love and Spring in Bei Han.".
But what about the real life Huo Jian Hua? He said in real life he doesn't like Lian Cheng's persistence. Asked if he were Ma Fuya, would he accept Lian Cheng's love, he said: "I may not accept because his love will make people feeling suffocated and breathless. A woman may not like this kind of love as it will give her pressure, fear and out of breath. Of course, in real life this kind of love may exist. Such love is so strong but for the other half is concerned, there will be a lot of pressure. So I won't love someone in such a way."
Wallace now has a flourishing career, and we sincerely do hope that he will receive a perfect love.
