Hidden Image Two
- There is no commodity backing the money in our system. There is not enough gold for every dollar in circulation. It's a system of faith that the paper and numbers on paper can be exchanged for real things. It's called a fiat money system.
- The local banks operating under the rules set by the Federal Reserve and they loan out many times as much money as they take in as savings. It's called the Fractional Reserve system.
- The Federal Reserve is not under the control of the Federal Government.
- The Federal Reserve loans the U. S. government money at interest paid to anyone who has the money to loan, and can be and often is non Americans.
- There are monetary systems that operate successfully without paying any interest.
- The Islamic monetary system does not charge interest because it is against their religion. And charging interest was against the Christian religion up until John Calvin.
- The United States can own the bank and loan itself money and has done so in the past as has other countries.
- Our present monetary system is not sustainable, is vulnerable to foreign influence, and costs more than necessary. Last year it cost $451 Billion of your money on interest payments to the holders of the National Debt. Debt we would not owe if the government owned the bank.
Opinion: A Way Out of Government Debt
All of our current problems regarding the economy have their roots in the Federal Reserve Act of 1913. From that point forward, it became law that all money would be created out of debt. To look at it another way, if all debt (be it government, corporate, or individual) in our current economic system were paid off, there would be no money. But paying off all debt is impossible because of the effect of interest.
For example, let's assume that the entire economy is 10 people. In order for the 10 people to get money to start a business, they have to borrow $1 million each from the Federal Reserve at 10% interest per annum. So a total of $10 million is injected into our new economy. In 10 years, on interest alone, the Federal Reserve is going to have all $10 million back. But since the entire economy at the start of this example was $10 million, those 10 people (or businesses) will have to borrow more money in order to have any money. In other words, debt begets more debt.
The only way for these 10 people not to go immediately back to the Fed to borrow more money is to find other markets to sell their goods and services into. This enormous flaw -- money being created from debt with interest -- has been masked by the fact that our population has more than tripled since 1913 and our economy has become massively intertwined with the other economies of the world.

Out of the Ashes of GM: The Phoenix of Renewable Energy
by Ellen Brown
What would we want with a car company? Moore suggests that the bankrupt mega-builder of obsolete gas guzzlers can be transformed into a mega-builder of things we need more—mass transit vehicles, including bullet trains, light rail mass transit lines, energy efficient clean buses, hybrid or all-electric cars, and alternative energy devices such as batteries, windmills, and solar panels. The factories that built the cars that helped destroy the environment can become the tools for cleaning it up.
Funding public projects with government-issued credit is not a new idea. It has a long and successful history, including these notable examples:
- In the early eighteenth century, the colony of Pennsylvania issued money that was both lent and spent by the local government into the economy, producing an unprecedented period of prosperity. This was done without producing price inflation and without taxing the people.
When Abraham Lincoln needed money to fund the American Civil War, rather than paying 25 to 36 percent interest charges, he avoided going into debt by printing Greenback dollars that were "legal tender" in themselves. The ploy not only allowed the North to win the Civil War but helped fund a period of unusual national expansion and development.
The island state of Guernsey, located in the Channel Islands, used government-issued money to fund roads, bridges, and other needed infrastructure throughout most of the 19th and 20th centuries, without price inflation and without incurring government debt.
The Bank of North Dakota, founded in 1919, is a wholly state-owned bank that creates credit on its books just as private banks do. This credit is used to serve local needs, and the interest on loans is returned to the government. Not coincidentally, North Dakota has a $1.2 billion budget surplus at a time when 47 of 50 states are insolvent, an impressive achievement for a state of isolated farmers battling challenging weather.
- During the First World War, when private banks were demanding 6 percent interest, Australia's publicly-owned Commonwealth Bank financed the Australian government's war effort at an interest rate of a fraction of 1 percent, saving Australians some $12 million in bank charges. After the First World War, the bank's governor used the bank's credit power to relieve the depression conditions in other countries by financing production and home-building, and lending funds to local governments for the construction of roads, tramways, harbors, gasworks, and electric power plants. The bank's profits were paid back to the national government.
- A successful infrastructure program funded with interest-free "national credit" was also instituted in New Zealand after it elected its first Labor government in the 1930s. Credit issued by its nationalized central bank allowed New Zealand to thrive at a time when the rest of the world was struggling with poverty and lack of productivity. According to a book titled State Housing in New Zealand, published by the Ministry of Works in 1949: "To finance its comprehensive proposals, the Government adopted the somewhat unusual course of using Reserve Bank credit, thus recognizing that the most important factor in housing costs is the price of money—interest is the heaviest portion in the composition of rent. … This action showed … it was possible for the State to use the country's credit in creating new assets for the country."

Isn't it curious that aside from the obvious difference between the two present day enemies, Christian vs. Islam, there's the fact that usury is STILL illegal under Islam. Hmmmmmm.
Could the true purpose of the war on terrorism also be a hidden image? Is the battle really usury vs no usury? Is compound interest, as you say the real enemy? Could usury be an instrument of slavery and the nations of Islam the only ones not slaves? Is this another Alice in Wonderland moment?
Realizing that the problem is obvious and should be addressed by those who profess to be working on the problem, but in fact are not addressing the true nature of the problem, is a clue to another level of understanding what's happening.
I like to call it a conspiracy but others say that's improper use of the word and it's just some quirk of natural human nature. I say calling it a conspiracy urges the reader to action demanding prosecution by those who should do their duty. Unfortunately calling it natural human nature allows this "natural" insanity to continue unchecked!
Thanks verbalizing this line of reasoning Carol.
Best of all, when the local currency is pegged to the Time Standard of Money (how many dollars/hour child labor) Hours earned locally can be intertraded with other timebanks globally! In 1999, I paid for 39/40 nights in Europe with an IOU for a night back in Canada worth 5 Hours.
U.N. Millennium Declaration UNILETS Resolution C6 to governments is for a time-based currency to restructure the global financial architecture.
See my banking systems engineering analysis at http://youtube.com/kingofthepaupers
See The Annals of Tacitus, Book six, about three quarters of the way in.
This is my study up to your post:
Debt and interest are two different things that you've mixed up as one thing.
Debt repaid without interest does not bury the borrowers with more debt.
Interest is the flaw you seek.
The funny thing is, our ancestors had this figured out two thousand years ago when they forbade usury.
Obviously a popular idea but never mentioned as an alternative banking system. This would destroy the Federal Reserve and "central bank" thus their power over the US government. It's only hidden to those in the dominate media. Others like the idea, ranking 11 out of 4000 is worth looking into.

Dermalogica Active Moist 3.4oz.
|Customer Reviews
|Average Rating View All Reviews
Dermalogica: As a 70-year old, and a user of all products Dermalogica for a good, long time, I can say the products have exactly what your skin needs, not too much, but definitely enough to bring out the best in one's features. It's light, non-perfumed, helps makeup go on easier, or use without. It's sufficient to sustain your beautiful smile!
I have been using this product and many others of Dermalogica for more than 10 years. I would recommend the Dermalogica products to all those who want a moist complexion.
I just started using Active Moist and so sorry I hadn't used it before. Even though my skin is dry, it feels so soft now that I use it.
This is my main moisturizer. At nighttime I do add the hydrating booster just too extra hydration during the night and I must say this moisturizer has worked miracles since I have been using it!!!!
Love the way it makes my skin feel. Don't feel dried out or greasy. Would recommend it to everyone!
This is the only moisturizer that I can use for my sensitive skin. I've used many different products over the years but this one leaves my skin moist, clean, no breakouts. I love the size of the bottle, one gets a lot for their money. I'll keep buying this one for as long as I can
great product! used if for years and what a great price on this site! It is light and doesn't make your skin feel " smothered"
I LOVE all dermalogica products, but especially Active Moist. I've been using the product, since my early 30's and I'm almost 50. I always get comments on how good my skin looks. I particulary like ordering from Asonishing Skin, since they make getting the product easier. I used to have to hunt down a retailer who had.

A hedgehog is any of the spiny mammals of the subfamily Erinaceinae, which is in order Erinaceomorpha. There are seventeen species of hedgehog in five genera, found through parts of Europe, Asia, Africa and New Zealand (by introduction). There are no hedgehogs native to Australia, and no living species native to the Americas. Hedgehogs share distant ancestry with shrews (family Soricidae), with gymnures possibly being the intermediate link, and have changed little over the last 15 million years. Like many of the first mammals they have adapted to a nocturnal, insectivorous way of life. Hedgehogs' spiny protection resembles that of the unrelated rodent porcupines and monotreme echidnas.
The name hedgehog came into use around the year 1450, derived from the Middle English heyghoge, from heyg, hegge ("hedge"), because it frequents hedgerows, and hoge, hogge ("hog"), from its piglike snout.[4] Other names include urchin, hedgepig and furze-pig.

Best Action RPG of 2013:
The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds (3DS)
Writeup by Derek Heemsbergen
Many of us grew up playing The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. It was the kind of game that spurred excited schoolyard conversations followed by feverish dreams of a sequel set in the Dark World. Instead, its legacy was carried on by the beloved Ocarina of Time, which was amazing in its own way, but it wasn't ALttP 2. Now, some twenty-plus years later, our dreams have been gloriously resurrected in a way we could never have predicted in the form of The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds. By breaking from the traditional Zelda formula and allowing players the freedom to tackle dungeons in any order, the game feels considerably less constrained than any series title in recent years. It controls perfectly, is set to a nostalgic musical score, and most importantly, is pure, unadulterated fun. Completely free of extraneous elements, A Link Between Worlds is the very portrait of action RPG excellence.
Runner-up: Path of Exile (PC)
Writeup by Josh Bateman
A great action RPG needs two things at the same time: have excellent combat and be a solid RPG. Actually accomplishing both of those things in such a way that they complement and inform each other is very difficult. Luckily for gamers everywhere, Path of Exile exemplifies what it means to be a great action RPG. With solid, skill-based combat, the game is fun from the get go, but the staggering amount of customization options turn the experience into something more personal. Your character grows with an expansive skill tree and can further modify skills with the materia-ish gem system. These skills give you more options and expand the already excellent combat. In this way, Path of Exile demands just as much attention outside of combat as it does inside. That is the sign of a great action RPG.

We visit the Kuideshe Theater in the Hutong, which is the smallest theater in Beijing. The folk artist will present several performances. After tasting some local snacks, we will bike to Tiananmen Square which is the largest city center square in the world. Leaving Tiananmen Square for Nanchangjie Avenue, it is a very relaxed ride under the shade of the scholar trees to the moat of the Forbidden City. The moat is rectangular in shape with willow trees both sides. Then to Jingsha Hill, which after, the climb to the top provides a fabulous bird's eye of the 9999 rooms in the Forbidden City. City. We continue our ride to The Bell Tower and The Drum tower. These functioned as the reminder of Emperors time for prayer. Climb to the top of drum tower for an excellent view of the drumming performance which last for 20 minutes. We continue to The Black Sesame Hutong to sample dumplings with a local family; talking with the host is a good opportunity to get in touch with real Beijingers. The tour will end with a coffee break in a Hutong café.

That's kinda the whole point to that system ... and the game . XP
A friend of mine is 344 paragon and boosted me in t6. Geez man, this shit tooks like no time 10 to 60
If anyone would like to keep running through the game on Torment 1-2, I'm playing on my level 60 monk. rezelath#1900
Hit the cap > get the best gear there is available > repeat with other classes > game completed.
I would agree getting paragon levels is worth it if they would allow you to distribute points wherever you want to not the way it is now.
Last edited by marcipaans; 03-23-2014 at 01:08 PM.
Paragon isnt pointless at all , maybe when the game added it firstly just getting loot and xp drop rates , now that you can add points to make your character stronger is a huge game changer and not pointless in the least .
that's enough to get you;stats of your choice + e.g 50% crit dmg, 10% aspd, 250 resist all, 12.5% hp, 10% cdr and a ton of health/hit. that's pretty huge.
plus, it's account bound - so everyone gets those points.

This tale of teens cursed with a virus that causes superpowers bears a passing resemblance to the X-Men, but in the hands of former X-scribe David Hine that's not necessarily a bad thing.
192 pgs. B&W; $9.99
(W: David Hine; A: Hans "Hanzo" Steinbach)
Poison Candy is an Original English Language(OEL) manga by David Hine and Hans "Hanzo" Steinbach, two men who definitely wear their Western influences on their sleeves: Steinbach is best known for his undead goth metal pastiche A Midnight Opera, and Hine for his work with Marvel's X-Men line of titles (which includes stints writing District X, X-Men: The 198, and Civil War: X-Men). The wide-ranging influence of Marvel's merry mutants is clearly felt in Poison Candy Vol. 1.
The story so far centers around the effects of the South Korean Adolescent Retrovirus (SKAR), a deadly, incurable disease that has gone global. Once contracted, the SKAR virus allows teenagers to express their latent paranormal abilities (including energy projection, super-strength, telepathy, and other powers familiar to X-Men readers). In the process, however, those affected by the SKAR virus die a rapid and agonizing death. During the course of Vol. 1, readers are introduced to Sam, Poison Candy's erstwhile protagonist. A typical rebellious, hormonally overactive teenage boy, Sam is devastated to learn that he's contracted SKAR. He's even more confused when a mysterious crow-toting scientist named Henry Raven, a.k.a. the C.E.O. of the international video game corporation Elektroactive, offers to cryogenically preserve his body until a cure for SKAR can be found.
Of course, in the land of sci-fi, cryogenic preservation naturally means Sam's going to wake up in the far future-specifically, more than 100 years in the future. His virus has been stabilized, allowing him to retain his powers, his youth, and his health, and needless to say, countless adventures undoubtedly await him once he gets over the fact that everyone he cared about in his former life is long dead and buried. Hine's decision to introduce a whole cast of characters, then kill them off in one fell futuristic swoop, is well-handled. Because readers find themselves caring about Donna, Yusuf, and Sam's other non-SKAR infected friends, it's genuinely moving and empty when Sam discovers that they're all dead.
While the premise of Poison Candy is more than a little predictable to anyone who's paid any attention to sci-fi, the execution keeps things interesting. Steinbach's jagged, fractured drawing style lends itself well to ultraviolent battle sequences between Sam and hostile federal agents, and he handles sex and murder with an even, non-gratuitous hand. It's hard to say where Hine's scenario will go from here, but if he overcomes his obvious creative debt to Marvel and focuses on the real intrigue-the idea of superpowered 21st century teenagers forced to deal with life in the far-flung future-Poison Candy could be pretty sweet. | J. Bowers

Reminder doesn't work automatically in old tasks
If I create new task with deadline time, reminders turn on automatically (30 minutes before deadline). But in old tasks, which previously haven't got expiry time, when I set up deadline reminder doesn't turn on automatically. It started about a week ago. Please fix this bug.
All responses
Hi There,
Please clarify, are you saying old tasks that have reminders are not working? Or when you create a new task, the reminder only works for the first time with recurring tasks?
What are the exact syntaxes you are using to create these tasks? Such as, "today at 2pm" or?
I mean task, that I create with no deadline time. Then I set up deadline time and reminder doesn't turn on automatically.
Screenshots with steps: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/uedutxaaehuxxd0/SILNtE8f9o
Step 1-2: I create task with no deadline
Step 3-4: I set up deadline time
Step 5: Reminder did not turned on automatically
Thank you for your report, we'll look into it. I've passed it to the developers.
Best regards,
This issue has now been fixed.

Persona 4 Golden is the PS Vita's first truly killer app.
Sure, it shoots two middle fingers at the touchscreen and gyro controls, but who cares?
This is an immensely rewarding, deep, and sophisticated role playing experience that nobody should miss.
It's such a perfect fit for the Vita that I really hope the inevitable Persona 5 ends up on it, too.
Man, what a game. 100/100

BANGOR, Maine (NEWS CENTER) --- The law enforcement community in the Bangor area was once again stunned this week as yet another police officer is now looking at charges for driving drunk.
Brewer police captain Chris Martin is facing an OUI charge after being stopped on Griffin Road in Bangor this past Saturday. The Brewer Police Department has also placed Martin on paid leave while it conducts an internal investigation into the case.
At this point Martin's only accused of these charges. It is not known if he has faced problems with alcohol abuse in the past, but this recent OUI charge prompted us to look into the issue of police and substance abuse problems. As we uncovered its a problem departments are facing across the nation.

Body issues haunt the ballet world. The long, leggy ballet silhouette of the last 20 years has created a near-impossible ideal. Dancers learn early that 10 pounds can spell the difference between success or failure on the professional track. Some succumb to eating disorders. Others reluctantly leave their ballet dreams behind.
Then Boo came along. The loveable, unofficial heroine of ABC Family's "Bunheads" doesn't have a traditional ballet body. Yet she dreams of a ballet career despite her curves. Like Kaitlyn Jenkins, our cover star who plays Boo, she has the tenacity and spirit not to give up. Jenkins' love of ballet opened up an unexpected path to a professional career. Will that happen for Boo as well? Time will tell. But she—and Jenkins—have already changed the shape of the ballet body debate.
As Jenkins discovered, finding the perfect dance job means being open and wholehearted in your efforts. Our annual audition guide lists dozens of opportunities. Check out what's coming, but before you register, be sure to read "Auditions: The Hidden Pitfalls" for tips and tactics to help you avoid common mistakes. You'll find that flawless technique means less to artistic directors than an ability to articulate the essence of the choreography. And that personality can often trump physique.
So don't waste too much of your audition energy on turnout…or worrying if you have a perfect body. Be like Boo—give it your all.

"I've noticed a parallel between who registers first, who goes in the first groups, and who's really eager and ready to join this company. It tells me about your commitment level." —Mikko Nissinen
"Never forget you are an individual. Really look at your characteristics and apply the rules of ballet to your own body. Don't try to copy others or change what can't be changed." —Uliana Lopatkina in "Reverence"

This is an update of a story originally published Dec. 30 to reflect full-year performance results.
NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- International-stock mutual funds were the best performers in a year when U.S. stock funds also soared, but the question for many investors as they head into 2010 is whether these standouts can continue their ascent.
International's success in 2009 was due in large part to the returns seen in emerging markets, with emerging-markets funds up 73.8% on average in 2009, according to preliminary results from investment researcher Morningstar Inc.
Soaring? Or just sore ?
After 2009's run, mutual funds may be in for a rocky landing. Check out our special report.
Risk's reward
Corporate-bond bargain hunters' knack for turning unloved into the envy of peers is on show in '09.
Emerging markets power international funds in '09
International funds may have a hard time measuring up to 2009's returns in 2010.
2009's winners and losers
Even Hitchcock might be horrified by the lengths some folks went to this year to achieve riches, power and fame. From Wall Street to Washington — here's a look at the winners and losers of 2009.
• Weidner visited by the ghost of Wall St. future
• 2009's best- and worst-performing stocks
• 2010 represents a bounce into the unknown
• Job market? | Your finances? | Travel plans?
• Little improvement seen in job market in 2010
• Hulbert: Honor Roll newsletters more bullish
• Marsh: In Europe the weak get weaker
"Most fund managers think the China and emerging markets growth stories are still intact for the long-term," said Gregg Wolper, senior fund analyst at Morningstar. "But next year's a tough call because of the run-up we've seen this year."
While that doesn't mean this rally is necessarily over, Wolper noted that predicting how long the run can last is tricky. He pointed out that leading up to 2008's crash, emerging markets had enjoyed almost five consecutive years of stellar returns. See the outlook for bond funds.
Emerging winners
The success of international this year is highlighted by the performance of the 25 largest funds, as calculated by fund-tracker Lipper Inc. The biggest gainer among these funds was iShares MSCI Emerging Markets exchange-traded fund EEM, +0.36% which is up 68.8% for the year. The top actively-managed fund on the list was Dodge & Cox International Stock Fund DODFX, +0.63% up 47.3%. The fund fell almost 47% in 2008.
The difference between the iShares ETF and the Dodge & Cox fund can be explained in part by the fact that as of Sept. 30, most of the latter fund's holdings were in developed countries.
"The more emerging markets that a fund held, the more likely it was to have been among the better performers," said Wolper. "It's the same with commodities stocks, and small-and-mid-cap stocks. The more aggressive or adventurous funds had the upper hand."
Figures from Morningstar bear this out. Emerging markets funds returned 73.8% while Pacific ex-Japan funds were up 71.1%. By contrast, Europe funds were up 47.6%
The stark contrast between developing and developed nations' returns is also evident among individual mutual funds. Lipper found that the best-performing China fund, Oberweis China Opportunities Fund OBCHX, -0.55% was up 131.1% this year, while the best Japan-focused fund, Fidelity Japan Smaller Companies Fund FJSCX, +0.52% was up 18%. It's worth noting that last year's declines were more extreme in developing countries: the Oberweis fund fell 64.3% in 2008, while the Fidelity Japan fund was down 35.5%.
Room to grow
While gains have been tremendous across international categories this year, investors who've sat in international funds for the past two or so years are still down from the start of that period.
Core international funds were up about 33% in 2009, according to Lipper, but the group is down 13.1% in the past two years and 5.6% over the past three years. In fact, every international subcategory is still in negative territory for two-year returns.

Kerry, Clinton, Paul remind Americans why 9/11 remains dominant political theme
Posted By kurtnimmoadmin On January 30, 2013 @ 4:25 pm In Old Infowars Posts Style,September 11 | Comments Disabled
Tom Curry
January 30, 2013
The attack of Sept. 11, 2001, has been so pervasive a theme in American politics in the years since that at times we scarcely notice its influence even though it explains so much of what came after that day.
Sometimes almost forgotten, 9/11 is an experience some Americans may recall only when they travel and must undergo screening from a select few of the army of 45,000 screeners that was created by the actions of 19 suicidal hijackers.
So it was remarkable that three times in the space of two Senate hearings on Wednesday and Thursday, the 9/11 attack percolated through the discussion.
Testifying Thursday morning at his confirmation hearing before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to be secretary of state, Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., voiced his regret that one effect of that fateful day has been to make people abroad see American policy simply in terms of killing individual al Qaida leaders and pre-empting terrorist threats.

PORT TOWNSEND, Wash (MarketWatch) — Some Americans may have loved this warm winter, but Canada without winter seems like a foreign place, it's being said.
But, hauling in truckloads of snow to normally bitter-cold Winnipeg — in February? That's outright bizarre. It actually happened this year, the third warm Canadian winter in the past decade.
Cold and winter weather are seen as an annual annoyance in the U.S., but Canadians embrace the cold; it's truly an integral part of the national identity. After all, there are ice skaters and hockey players on the currency.
This recent warm winter has jolted some Canadians inured to snow — just as it has brought smiles to many Americans' faces. Climate change has had an impact on the U.S. this warm winter, but a bigger economic and emotional one in Canada, where many embrace cold weather.
"In many ways," lamented one top Canadian government climatoIogist recently, "This has truly been the winter that was canceled." That has business as well as social impacts in Canada.
For one, the famed Ice Road Truckers have become the ice-road slushers this winter: Warm weather in Canada's north has inhibited the building of ice roads, impeding the ability to deliver supplies to oil-drilling operations.
As the jet stream stays far to the north in a summerlike pattern, temperatures were in the 70s this week in northern outpost of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan — where it's unseasonably warm, putting it mildly. .
In Canada, spring is usually optional, or just a cruel rumor. Not this year.
I still remember one date well in Canada — June 1. That's when my wife and I tried planting a garden at our place in rural Quebec. The soil was still so hard I actually used a chisel to break the soil.
We have a relative living in far-north British Columbia who wrote us letters describing the cold up north of Williams Lake. About things like the trees exploding. (Something about the sap). Yes, exploding trees. We haven't gotten exploding-tree letters lately.
April is sometimes the worst month of the year in Canada — the promise of spring, once again denied. We experienced some of the worst blizzards in April in Montreal.
No joking matter
I wrote a humor book about Canada years ago that had an entire chapter of cold-weather jokes. (e.g., "It was so cold last night people were huddled next to pictures of the Nixon family for warmth." And: "I saw a guy jump INTO a burning building.") But the warmer weather these days is no joke.
Winnipeg's midwinter Festival du Voyageur had to shell out $10,000 this past February to buy 200 truckloads of snow. Strange, but true. But there was an upside: Record crowds turned out — over 100,000 attended.
Climatologists are saying the long-impassable Northwest Passage may be open even longer this summer, good news for shippers. The shortcut between the Atlantic and Pacific was first reported ice-free just five years ago; an earlier opening this year will have economic impacts — fewer ships in the Panama and Suez canals.
Further south in Canada, the impacts are being felt universally. "Where is Winter?" asked one headline recently as the unseasonably warm weather — 3.6 degrees Celsius above average this winter, reports Environment Canada — spread from Vancouver across the country to all regions, reaching Newfoundland in the far east.

By CLAIRE MANTONYAExecutive Director Utah Devel. Disabilities CouncilSalt Lake City
The Utah Developmental Disabilities Council is a statewide advocacy organization dedicated to the full inclusion of people with developmental disabilities in our communities.
Our board voted recently to write this letter because the movie "Tropic Thunder" opened in Utah this past week. This R rated comedy is very inappropriate and depicts Ben Stiller in a film within a film as "Simple Jack", a man with intellectual disabilities.
This is a extraordinarily negative portrayal of someone with intellectual disabilities making liberal use of the " r" word. People with intellectual disabilities deserve respect and they want people to refrain from use of the "r" word because it is very hurtful. Please join our council and boycott this movie and tell your friends and family to join you, too.
We believe that people should not profit by disrespecting other people.

In the gallery below, you'll find the first offering, a new set of character shots featuring Martin Freeman's Bilbo, the dwarves and Gandalf.
Speaking in a new video on his Facebook page, Jackson also mentions that he'll debuting a brand new trailer for the first of his Hobbit trilogy on Wednesday, which should feature some brand new footage from An Unexpected Journey. And that's not all – Jackson promises some special content.

Did I chase or scare him away?
By natalie On April 6, 2008 · 6 Comments · In Emotional Unavailability
One thing women are really good at is self-blame. When we are mistreated, the first thing we do is internalise the problem and wonder what we did to cause it.
I keep wondering what I did to scare him off
It must be something I did; he was so attentive at first
Maybe if I hadn't asked for so much, he would still be around
Maybe I want too much and he doesn't think that he can please me
I think he thinks I'm needy and clingy
And then…Oh.My.God. I'm a Drama Queen/Drama Seeker. This is why our relationship hasn't worked out. It's all my fault!!!!!!!
Well I'm about to rip the needle off the record for you and give you a reality check.
Take a man, make him an assclown (many of you won't have to stretch your imaginations for this one), give him all of the annoying and soul-destroying things that he does to ensure that the relationship doesn't progress, give him lots of 'little' things that show that he only had one or neither of his feet in the relationship. Now ask yourself this: Do you really believe that he will sit there when he is alone and think "The reason why the relationship has not progressed is all because of my behaviour?"
I don't frickin' think so! There is ego, penis, and fundamental differences between the sexes with the most prevalent difference that affects this being the fact that when the chips are down, women beat themselves up, blame themselves and wonder what they could have done differently. When the chips are down for the type of guy that makes sh*tty relationships oh so easy, he's not that connected to himself that he would be able to blame himself on an ongoing basis. Oh, he has the occasional moment of clarity and then he goes back to blaming you and tells himself what a great catch he is.
If you want to have healthier relationships, you need to be accountable for your contribution but that doesn't mean that you lie down on the sacrificial alter and declare yourself responsible for everything.
Relationships are the sum of BOTH parties!
If you are a Drama Seeker, you have been behaving in ways that are counterproductive to the relationships success. There is no getting away from that.
If you have suddenly realised that you're a Drama Seeker, your first thought is to go into panic meltdown and assume responsibility for the demise of your relationship.
All of a sudden, the maybe's start kicking in eg "Maybe if I hadn't asked him to define things then he would still be here"
Yes that's possible, but he would still be there, not because he is present and accountable for the relationship and helping it progress, but because you are letting him get away with a minimal contribution and keeping things ambiguous!!!!
You cannot change the past. Sitting there and analysing every little thing that you could have done differently so that this guy would still be there is a complete waste of your time. Being aware of your destructive pattern and learning a more positive relationship style would be far more beneficial.
If you believe it is one little thing that you said or did, you are truly mistaken. Whilst the type of men we choose is down to us, how the other person behaves, particularly when they are emotionally unavailable and fearing commitment is not. This is not all about you.
What I am always shocked about is that we are very quick to focus on what we think we may have done wrong, but what about him? In order to add some balance and objectivity to your perception of your contribution into the relationship, you need to acknowledge his contribution (or lack of it) too!
The key is in understanding whether the issues in your relationship were internal or external. Did you choose an amazing guy and then sabotage it with all of your negative internal messaging? Or did you choose the same guy, different package that is central to your pattern and because he reflected every negative thing that you believe about yourself, love, and relationships, the relationship was doomed anyway?
If you can hand on heart say that this guy had no issues, both feet in the relationship, was doing everything to bring the relationship forward and your Drama Seeker self overtook things and wouldn't let the relationship be, then yes, I'll be honest, it is very possible that you did scare him away.
Even the most emotionally healthy of guys find behaviours attached to Drama Seekers very draining because being needy and clingy isn't attractive and the focus of everything becomes about him. It begins to feel like he is the centre of the universe and that everything for you is derived from him and that is a lot of pressure. Relationships need some independence, some calm, and some balance. Drama Seekers don't do calm!
If your problem is internal and you're projecting your fears, he is not going to solve that issue for you – only you can by getting to grips with your fears and getting to the root so that you have a more positive self.
If the problem is external, you have to look at his behaviour and become aware of how it fed it into the negative cycle. And avoid it.
But it is likely that you are experiencing a bit of both which means getting true accountability and awareness. You need to have more conscious relationships.
So I ask you to quit the self-blame and start getting real about you and about him. In reality comes truth, and in truth comes the opportunity to learn, and in learning comes the opportunity to grow. If you keep repeating the pattern, you might as well be stuck in a time warp.

Thank you so much for this post. Today I received an e-mail from my EUM assholish ex. He said "do you realize you threw me off by your insecurity". Sure, it was all my fault :-))). While he was the very guy that provoked the hell out of me. Even nowadays (5 months after breakup with full no-contact from me) he blows hot and cold: he sends s hot "i love you more than anyone ever" mail, in a few days followed my a cold "it's all your fault" BS.
Thank you for the website. It helped me a lot through all of this.
need advise says:
I have been in an untitled thingy for the past 8 months with a definite EUM (which I have had these kind of men before). The difference this time is that I recognized early in the relationship that this was not for me, but I CHOSE to continue for who knows why: lonely, horney, etc. The crazy thing about it though was up until 2 months ago….I was doing all the sexual pleasing and received NOTHING from him. Looking back on it, that's utterly craziness! Think it goes back to being able to give Love but not receive it which makes it easy to be with an EUM. I've tried a few times to break things off using what I thought was just plain old logic but he ALWAYS calls me until he gets a response from me which eventually happens and then we go round and round again. I have never given him any drama unlike my past EUM relationships even though there have been many occasions that would validate me doing so as far as calling him on things.
I am now at a place(I think) where I just need to get out and I struggle big time with what or how much to say to him. I would love to tell him all the things that have been in my heart and how it's been riped apart a million times, but the other side of me just wants to say, " ya know I just need to step away from this whatever we're calling this thing and regroup and I really need for you to stop calling me indefinitely". I don't know if that would do it for him though, trying to approach it like I'm coming from a friends stand point and asking him to do this if he is a friend. I don't want to give him the satifaction of thinking that he really hurt me terribly. Any thoughts?
Astelle says:
need advise, read NML's posts about cutting contact. Ignore his contacts and one day he will stop and leave you alone, if not, like you said you will go around and around for years and that will prevent you from meeting a better guy.
Sindh says:
Dear NML
As always you are on the spot. Nothing works with these kindda men. I asked for absolutely nothing, gave him all and the best of what I got. Long distant and seeing each other maybe 5 days every month or two, he NEVER contributed financially or emotionally and yet I stood by him for 20 months. And yet he tells me I am " Always in His Face" how did I do that from 1500 miles away I wonder. I was always a needy insecure drama queen, ah but wait one hot cold minute here, I was paying my bills, all my calls to him as well all my travel expenses to go see him when he came down not to mention serving me up on the platter as well. It does not matter, its all about tearing someone down to build themselves up. Imagine he was coming up on chat pretending to be someone else and then wham accusses me of cheating on him – unfreekin-belieave.
There was no moment, there was a whole lot of drama, not mine but his but I went from a extrovert, independent, funny, intelligent girl to someone I don't even know anymore, I am still somewhere in there I know, just got lost in all the drama. It takes so much strength to put our foot down and walk away and never look back . Not easy but it can be done.
Sindh says:
Oh ny the way he told me that this was a committed relationship and I was never happy with all he gave me, I wonder what that was.
Sindh says:
Oh ny the way does this sound like a committed relationship to anyone reading these blogs coz he told me it was and I should be happy for it.

2008 Scion tC Recalls
These vehicle were sold without the required load carrying captivity modification label. Dealers will mail the corrected label to vehicle owners. Owners have the option of requesting that the dealer install the label. This recall is expected to begin on May 27, 2010.
Southeast Toyota is recalling 2005–2011 models for failing to comply with federal safety standards on tire selection and rims. Affected models were sold without the proper load-carrying capacity modification labels, which may cause the driver to overload the vehicle, increasing the chance of a crash. Dealers will mail the correct labels to the customer or install the label free of charge.
The load carrying capacity modification label may be missing from the vehicle. This information provides maximum load carrying weights as well as information about required tires and wheels. If not present, an inappropriate load may be carried in the vehicle, increasing a safety risk. Toyota has supplied customers with a new label to affix to the vehicle. This recall began on August 18, 2009.

I don't see the border of the box anymore when using Confluence 4.0. There was one in 3.5.
It's the same with almost all format macro's like Info, Note and Tip.
Is this new in Confluence 4.0?20 Sep 2011
Edwin Dawson [Atlassian Technical Writer]
Hi there Egbert,
Borders on the Info macro should be visible, as they are in the examples on this page. If you can't see borders on the example here, it may be your local computer configuration. If not, please raise a support request so that our support engineers can assist you.
I hope this helps.

Guys, you took out the wiki markup way to do this (e.g. Info Macro#UsagewiththeWikiMarkupEditor) but you can't do that until all the places we need to use wiki markup (like the Global Template editor) are gone from the product.
Please restore the sections that show wiki markup examples for this and all other macros, at least until we no longer need to use it to create Global Templates!
P.S. Even once you've replaced all the wiki markup editors with RTEs, some people still might find it easier to use the "Insert Wiki Markup" method, especially if they are hand-editing parameters - so you may want to keep the wiki markup examples around even after that point.31 Jan 2012
Yes. Completely agree. Working a lot with templates, and I have to rely on the comments sections to randomly find wiki-markup for Global Templates.11 Feb 2012
I'm missing info macro icons in pdf exports. Is this normal?17 Mar 2013
Hi all,
Can I change the icons used for {Tip, {Info and {Warning macros? I'd like to be able to use the icons we created for our documentation to make Confluence and the PDF docs look more consistent.
B28 May 2013
I have created an issue about this: CONF-31307 - Word and PDF Export: Info, Note, Warning and Tip macros are not included in the exported document Open .23 Oct 2013
in Confluence 3 and 4, info had light-blue background. Now it is white.
21 Feb 2014
- why? (some people at Atlassian seem to have a boring time...)
- How to change it back? (CSS entry?)
Its not that they are white, its that they are very very light compared to what they used to be. All four of these are way to light now. For instance with the Info and Warning boxes I have to make the font bold to make it really pop like it used to. Can these 4 boxes have the bg color raised like they used to be? It was much nicer when they looked like this -
https://wiki.umms.med.umich.edu/display/demo/Useful+Macros#UsefulMacros-high27 Apr 2015
Giles Brunning [Atlassian Technical Writer]
Hi Alex and Hans-Peter,
You should be able to change the background color with CSS. I just did a quick test by applying a different color to
div.confluence-information-macro.confluence-information-macro-information, and it worked fine.
If you think it's an issue, feel free to make a suggestion so we can try to gauge the demand.28 Apr 2015
According ISO xyz we have to have different icons for "Note", "Info" etc.
Is it also possible in the global style sheet or somewhere to change the icons? Or do I have to create custom Plugins and disable the included ones?05 May 2015
Rachel Robins [Atlassian Tech Writer]
Hi Christian, there's some information here that might help you get started https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/77193/what-is-the-source-code-for-the-info-warning-note-and-tip-macros-to-create-own-user-macros.
To be honest I don't know if you can swap out the icons for the existing macros - but sounds like you should be able to create user macros to make some replacements.05 May 2015
Thx for the info, I'll check and see what happens06 May 2015
Hi Christian. I was wondering if you had any luck with this? We also have a regulatory requirement that needs specific icons for notes, warnings, and cautions and we're getting nowhere trying to add them via CSS. As a last resort we are going to have to use tables to hold the icons, but not being able to remove table borders and the way tables export wonkily in PDF makes the ugliest notes ever! Thanks!12 Jun 2015
Hello Alicia,
unfortunately, I haven't had much time so I've not really been able to check.
The most difficult problem: I don't want to "mess" with the source code, so I ahve to check with our Admin how to do it the most safe way.
If it would be possible otherwise than no problem.
I 've been thinking a workaround, but also not tested.
On one page you put the icons you want to use. Than, instead of the macro, you insert just the picture. Not so nice but at least something.
Maybe Atlassian has mercy with it's users and makes it more flexible12 Jun 2015
Thanks for sharing your idea for a work around. I think what we're going to end up doing is add the regulatory graphic in the actual note or warning with a transparent background. The next challenge we're facing is that the PDF publish doesn't really allow for inline graphics. It always pushes the text to the next page so I think no matter what it is going to be clunky and awful looking!
Best of luck!12 Jun 2015

Epidemiology of Oral Diseases
The Relationship Between Poor Oral Health and Cognitive Impairment in Children and Adolescents Using a Twin Model
Protocol Description
This study uses dental examinations and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) among other methods to examine the relationship between prematurity, inflammation, oral health and neurocognitive development. Previous research has shown that certain types of infections increase the risk for preterm birth, often because they result in inflammation of the fetal membranes or an increase in circulating inflammatory cells. Additionally, risk for preterm birth and susceptibility to infection may be at least partially heritable traits, meaning that there is a high likelihood that certain genes increase the risk for one or both of these conditions. Finally, prematurity and certain types of infection/inflammation have been linked to poorer neurocognitive abilities.
Note: While the participant base of this study is exclusively from the region of Montes Claros, Brazil, the Pediatric Imaging Research Center at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC plays a vital role in analyzing MRI images collected, working collaboratively on study design, training and data analysis with an international research team that includes New York University, the University of Southern California and the Twins Institute for Genetics Research, Brazil.
Eligibility Criteria
This study is only open to identical (monozygotic) and fraternal (dizygotic) twin pairs in the Montes Claros region of Brazil. Subject to certain exclusion criteria, this study is enrolling participants of both genders ages 7 through 17 and up who are in good general health.
Females: Ages 7 through 17
Males: Ages 7 through 17
At the study onset, participants will receive an oral examination, and samples of saliva, blood and dental plaque will be collected. Additionally, investigators will test for difficulties in perceiving, thinking and remembering. Participants will be scheduled for MRI of the head and neck to be performed in Montes Claros within 6 months of the study visit. Visits and MRI imaging will be repeated 3 times at 12-month intervals.
Visits: 9
Duration: 3 years
Status: Enrollment open to Brazil-based participants only

When it comes to combining fruit and cheese, cheddar and apples is a classic combo. We changed things up a bit by using Asian pears and young Gouda cheese.
What to buy: Asian pears are crunchier and often sweeter than their American counterparts. They can be found at high-end grocery stores and in Asian markets. If you can't find them, substitute Bosc pears (though they won't provide the same crunch).
Gouda is a widely available Dutch cheese made from cow's milk. Use a young Gouda in this recipe so you don't overwhelm the flavor of the pear. If you're having a hard time finding Gouda, a young Edam or Jack can be substituted.
This recipe was featured as part of our Most Delicious Sandwiches photo gallery.
See more grilled cheese combinations.
Beverage pairing: François Cotat Sancerre Les Culs de Beaujeu, France. Made from Sauvignon Blanc grapes, Sancerre wines evince notes of apple and pear with some grassiness and spice. This one, matured in old oak casks, is round and mellow like good Gouda but has that citric spike to enhance the pear.
With a light honey vinaigrette.
Sandwiched between toasty slices of whole wheat.
Pears poached in a spiced red-wine vinaigrette lift this classic salad from standard to stellar.

Local music fans (and regular Ink readers) may recall "The Empty Spaces" as the title of Kansas City songwriter Mat Shoare's 2010 album. The Empty Spaces band — including bassist William Wright and drummer Ross Brown — formed around Shoare to record that album and have stuck together since. The four songs on "Low Noise" mark the group's debut recording as The Empty Spaces.
There's some overlap between "Low Noise" and Shoare's solo record: Two songs here are reworked tracks from "The Empty Spaces" album. One, "Mind Over Matter," was the title track from that album in its earlier state. Yep, that'd be "The Empty Spaces," the song. Confused yet?
Aside from the recurring title, there's little to confuse, actually. Comparing Shoare's solo output to The Empty Spaces is like comparing Golden Delicious apples to Honeycrisp apples: They're the same fruit with a different flavor. It's up to the individual palate whether one is better than the other, but both are quite good. Perhaps the most noticeable difference is that in band context, Shoare skips the reflective, singer-songwritery tracks in favor of more energetic rock material.
For the two songs we've heard before — "Mind Over Matter" and "Starting Over" — even listeners familiar with the prior versions may have to A/B the two versions to catch that they're not identical. The overall feel is a bit looser, the sound a bit more live and less polished but no less enjoyable.
The irony of such a young fella singing about being "alone for so many years" in "Mind Over Matter" carries over from the earlier version, but as before it's a fine song nonetheless. The two new tracks, "Working With the Wind" and especially "Is She Coming Back Around," sit well with the other songs to form a fun, cohesive whole and further distance the band from the acoustic-driven, folk-inflected sound of Shoare's solo effort.
Vocals could be louder in the mix in a few spots on "Low Noise." But perhaps having the instruments and vocals at similar levels adds to the feeling of the band effort, as opposed to sidemen backing a singer. In any event, "Low Noise" is a fine record worth a listen from a band to keep an eye on.
