Nancy Montalvo was once a poor farm girl; now she's a university graduate who helps impoverished mothers by teaching them how to make yogurt for extra income.
Nancy Montalvo is just a farm girl at heart. Growing up in a community just south of Lima, the young girl relished her rural roots and always liked nurturing and caring for animals. But as the youngest of eight children in an impoverished family, her dreams of a career in agricultural sciences seemed too far-fetched.
University Dreams
"When I was about 15 years old I found information in a leaflet from the agricultural university," says Nancy. But she knew her parents were too poor to pay for her tuition. Also Nancy attended a public school that lacked books, tutors and appropriate training, making it almost impossible for her to get into a university.
But thanks to her experience at a Compassion-assisted project and encouragement from her family, Nancy has not only achieved her dreams, but she has also returned to her community to help others.
"Compassion always encouraged me to continue studying and to succeed in whatever I did," says Nancy, 26. "I was always taught that everything is possible with the Lord, that even though the school I attended was quite poor and lack many things, I complemented it by learning many good things at the project."
Determined to Succeed
While attending the Compassion-assisted Jehova Jire (PE-248) Project, Nancy learned to socialize with other children, found out about personal hygiene, and received tutoring, especially in math. Yet once she graduated from high school, she still had to find the money to go to the agricultural university. Her family had no money and often encouraged her to do something else.
"I was determined to become an (agricultural) engineer," she says. "In order to pay for my books and tuition, I got a part-time job. It was quite hard to continue studying and working. But now I am the only one (in my family) that has a university career and the only Christian."
Teaching Others
It took five and half years, but Nancy now has her professional certificate in agricultural engineering. As such, Nancy does preventive work to help animals avoid diseases; she also examines the commodities markets to decide which animals are profitable or productive for farmers. Never forgetting the help Compassion offered her, Nancy spends her summers working at Compassion projects in Peru. In one program, she teaches mothers how to make nutritious and inexpensive yogurt for extra income.
In another, she helps teenagers raise chickens and guinea pigs for future profit-making ventures.
"If the training is successful, I'd like to train the mothers on how to make butter and cheese at home," she says.
Many people told Nancy to strive for a less complicated career. Others told her she was too poor to succeed. But Nancy has proved all things are possible for those who love God.
"I am so grateful to Compassion for having helped me to become a professional," she says. "I have always preached the gospel (to my family). I tell them I have achieved a career because the Lord has helped me and that I will continue achieving many things by faith."

You can intensify the stain part of the image by the bleach-redevelopment process. When you bleach the negative (probably not a good term to use) in a rehalogenating bleach such as is used in sepia toning, the stain image from development in Pyrocat or PMK remains. Redeveloping restores the original silver and adds to it more stain. Be sure that the negative is well fixed and washed before you bleach it the first time. Any remnant of fixer will combine with the ferri to remove silver permanently.
Each redevelopment cycle hardens the emulsion a little more.

ORLANDO, Fl. — U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Acting Director Rowan Gould today joined senior administration officials at a public listening session today as part of President Obama's America's Great Outdoors initiative to develop a conservation agenda for the 21st century.
The listening session, one of a series taking place across the country, offers citizens the opportunities to share what they are doing in their communities to better conserve our nation's land, water and wildlife and open up more opportunities for Americans to enjoy outdoor recreation.
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Fish and Wildlife and Parks Will Shafroth and USDA Senior Advisor to the Secretary for Environment and Climate Robert Bonnie also attended the listening session.
"With his America's Great Outdoors initiative, President Obama is creating a new conservation legacy for our country as we deal with growing pressures our land and wildlife face ranging from habitat fragmentation to climate change to loss of biodiversity," Gould said. "We already have a strong foundation for the initiative in the work that the citizens of Florida and communities across the country are doing to conserve our natural resources and to connect Americans to the great outdoors."
"Public and private land conservation and natural resource stewardship are integral to the history, culture, and prosperity of Florida," said Robert Bonnie, USDA Senior Advisor to the Secretary for Environment and Climate. "We need to hear and learn in greater detail about the successful work happening in the region. Successful regional and local conservation efforts such as the ones charted here today are key as we craft a 21st century conservation agenda."
President Obama inaugurated the America's Great Outdoors Initiative at the White House Conference on the Great Outdoors in April. The conference brought together leaders from communities across the country that are working to protect their outdoor spaces and focused on developing and supporting innovative ideas for improving conservation and recreation at the local level.
In a Presidential Memorandum, he called on the Secretaries of the Interior and of Agriculture, the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, and the Chair of the Council on Environmental Quality to lead the initiative, in coordination with the Departments of Defense, Commerce, Housing and Urban Development, Health and Human Services, Labor, Transportation, Education, and the Office of Management and Budget.
From coast to coast, ranchers, farmers, sportsmen, conservationists, state and local government leaders, tribal leaders, public lands experts, youth leaders, business representatives have been attending listening sessions to discuss the challenges, opportunities and innovations surrounding modern-day land conservation and the importance of reconnecting Americans to the outdoors.

When Brooklyn-based Kuwaiti musician Fatima Al Qadiri began recording her new EP, Desert Strike, the artist turned to an unlikely source of inspiration: an early '90s video game. That game (whose title she borrowed for her EP and which is based on Desert Storm) was in many ways a virtual-reality counterpoint to Al Qadiri's experiences growing up in Kuwait during the Iraqi occupation and the eventual U.S. liberation. Al Qadiri refers to those experiences in her music by merging a video game's surreality with the reality of warfare, combining spacey synths and ethereal chanting with jarring gunshots and the pinging sound of bullet casings falling to the ground. Here, we talk to the artist about growing up in Kuwait, recording the new EP and why she never liked playing the Desert Strike video game as a kid.
Tell me about your background and growing up in Kuwait.
My father did his graduate degree in History in Russia and immediately got hired and was made an ambassador at a very young age -- not that many young men could speak important languages -- or strategic languages, let's put it this way. [He was the ambassador] to Zaire first but Zaire was so dangerous. Then he became ambassador to Senegal, where I was born but then we moved back to Kuwait. He resigned from the foreign ministry and went from being very right-wing to being very left-wing. He was an activist. [He and my mother] were leading members of the Kuwaiti resistance and we moved around from house to house.
What do you remember of that period?
It wasn't safe to stay in one house for very long because the Iraqi military was constantly going through houses to see if there were any inhabitants and if there were, you were basically at their will. Some of the [Iraqi soldiers] were teenagers with machine guns. They were recruited against their will in Iraq and it was just a really crazy situation. The thing with war and occupation is that it's not black and white, it's a human disaster for everybody.
[Once] my mom pretended to be pregnant, wearing an abaya -- the black cover -- but under her fake belly was a newsletter that [my parents] had printed and were disseminating. All of their actions were punishable by death and they wouldn't have just killed them, they would've killed the entire family. They put our lives at risk. Thank god nothing happened and that we survived.
When did you start becoming interested in music?
When I was five, I remember my conservative grandmother told me that if I heard music that was not religious music, I should cover my ears and say "God forgive me," over and over again. And I remember doing it. [But] my parents loved the radio and my father has a huge record collection. I owe a lot of my musical taste to his taste in music because he collected records like Grace Jones records, and records by this French disco producer Cerrone whose productions are orchestrally unbelievable.That was one of my earliest memories of hearing [my dad] play it over and over again.
When did you start making your own music?
I started making music when I was nine, immediately after the liberation of Kuwait. I started making music on this little keyboard and then the keyboards just got bigger from there and the recording techniques got more sophisticated.
What kind of music were you making when you were that age?
The [songs] were really dismal, wretched, depressing sounds and melodies. I was just so taken aback by the apocalypse that I had seen -- seeing your country burn to a crisp is something that can only be experienced [first-hand].
And it was those experiences that inspired you to make Desert Strike? Did you play the video game as a kid?
I absolutely hated that game. I never played it. I only watched the introduction over and over again because the introduction was so disturbing. It was based on the conflict. They don't mention Kuwait, they don't mention Iraq, they gave Saddam a slightly different face -- call him 'The Leader.' It's all so vague the language.
I don't believe that the game was made for children. There was no soundtrack. It was just the sound of evil, high-pitched chopper blades [going] at an incessant frequency. And bombs. And just going around from a birds-eye view in a helicopter bombing things. I believe it was the first commercial and contemporary game that was really designed for the military. There have been many since then.
What made you decide to revisit the game now?
It took me a long, long time to become sophisticated enough to write music using music software because I've always just played music on the piano or keyboard and recorded it on audio cassette. I come from a completely different background than these young producers these days that have been on the Internet all their life. It's taken me eleven years to get to the skill level that I am today but [I'm] by no means done improving. There's so much more need for improvement.
Did you always want to produce a record inspired by the game?
I felt [the sound of the game] was the sound that best represented how I felt at the time. I've always wanted to make a work about that period of my life because it was the most surreal, the most sci-fi [experiences] and it's definitely given me a buffet of psychological problems. You don't go through that unharmed or unscathed. It's something that's haunted me my entire life and I needed to make a mature work about it. I didn't have the skill level at 25, I didn't have the skill level at 28, I had the skill level [to do it] at 31.
Last October, I started writing the material for the record right before the launch of the previous record, Genre-Specific Xperience, so I started working on it then. It took about a year and I finished it in September. I'm a slow worker but I'm not in a rush. I never made music to achieve anything but to heal myself.
Can you expand on that?
A lot of the conditions that I've made my records under have been [times] of extreme depression.
Was that the case for this one?
Yeah. [My depression has] been around since after the liberation of Kuwait. This is why I'm really going back to my roots. This is the genesis of my career as a musician, going back to that time. I suffer from bouts of manic depression and that is when I write a lot of music, usually. [The music is] all a soundtrack for the apocalypse or living past the apocalypse. I always feel like I narrowly escaped it, [like] I should have died. Saddam was pretty close to fulfilling his plans to extinguish the Kuwaiti population. Part A [of his plan] was to capture all of the men and boys and take them to prisons in Iraq. They were almost finished doing that. My father was taken -- he was a POW. It was crazy because my mom and my sister were visiting someone and I had gone next door. It was just me and my dad in the house and I went down four doors to my neighbor's house to play the video game Castlevania because I was so addicted to the soundtrack and that was when the Iraqi soldiers came and took my dad. That game spared me from seeing my father being dragged out of the house and taken to a prison camp. I just came back and he was gone. I can't even play video games anymore -- I avoid them at all cost. I associate them with deep manic depression.
It must have been difficult to revisit those memories while working on the album.
It was really, really hard. It's annoying for me when a commentator says, "Oh, she's made another conceptual record." This is so far from conceptual. This is deeply personal -- this is a naked record and an autobiographical sentiment. [It's] deeply sentimental and has nothing to do with concept. If I was able to write a memoir, this would be it.

Darn my ginger genetic makeup! No matter how much 50spf I smear on me, I'll always get burnt. No matter, it's usually worth it for whatever I'm doing. This time I was touring with a great guy Matt in the Hoodoo Pass area. We were able to drive within 100 yards of the Heart Lake trailhead and found ourselves eventually skiing down the central Dalton Lake chute, and then the bowl down to Heart Lake. 10 miles in total, equating to some fantastic skiing with equally fantastic views.
|And go!
|Matt showing me how a crossing is done. :)
|My turn!
|Heart Lake
|Up and away!
|Working our way up and over towards Pearl Lake. Finally was able to make use of my new ice-ax, and boot crampons! :)
|Pearl Lake
|Pearl Lake... again..
|Going up! On up the ridge between Dalton and Heart Lake.
|They say never look back right? Well here I am doing just that... Pearl Lake on the way up.
|Saddle between Pearl and Dalton
|Eyeing the central Dalton chute.
|Dalton Lake.
|Around Dalton we go!
|Area SE of Dalton Lake.
|Turns down. :)
|Going back out to the saddle.
|On the ridge again to the Heart Lake bowl.
|Heart Lake to lower right.
|Second run start.
|Heading back.
|Thought this would make a good bear cave, but didn't see any tracks... yet.
|Tour for the day.

Hospital's New Program for Internet Addiction Means You Can Finally Get the Help You've Always Thought You Needed
Unsurprising New Research Finds Bar and Restaurant Employees at High Risk for Alcoholism
What Makes Some College Kids Drink So Much?
Binge drinking is a real problem on many college campuses, and new research could reveal why: students who chug-a-lug enjoy a higher social status among their peers.
Prescription Painkillers Emerge As the Leading Cause of Accidental Death
For years, car accidents have been the leading cause of accidental death. But that all changed four years ago when, for the first time, vehicle-related deaths were topped by poisoning due to prescription painkillers like OxyContin and Vicodin.
Are Older Adults the New Face of Addiction?
One generally associates the onset of drug and alcohol addiction with the recklessness of youth.
However, two new studies are challenging those assumptions, with findings suggesting that older folks are also quite susceptible to addiction's trap.

Researchers Find that Early Intervention Can Curb College Drinking
Alcohol Targets the Brain's 'Reward Centers' in Heavy Drinkers
In the quest to discover why some people drink heavily while others don't, researchers have found the answer may actually be quite simple: brain differences between the groups make alcohol consumption feel better to the heavier drinkers.
Web Addicts and Substance Abusers Have Similar Brain Changes
Researchers in China find internet addicts have brain changes similar to those with drug or alcohol problems.

Oracle Retail Reference Library, Release 14.1
By Retail Global Content Team-Oracle on Mar 13, 2015
The Oracle Retail Reference Library (RRL) is a collection of detailed implementation information for partners and retailers, including business process models, architectural diagrams, and a retail glossary. The RRL contains deep retail intellectual property that can help retailers accelerate their implementations and derive maximum value from Oracle Retail software. The RRL is available on My Oracle Support (MOS) at the numbers below.
Oracle Retail Reference Library (Doc ID 1617507.1,

RRL consists of the following components:
- The Retail Reference Model (RRM) is a comprehensive collection of established, industry leading business processes which guide retailers and implementers on the use of Oracle Retail applications. RRM is based on the input and experience that Oracle Retail and their partners have gained in working with a broad range of retail customers. The processes align with Oracle applications, leverage industry standards, and help business units communicate with Information Technology (IT). Process flows are created in Microsoft Visio to enable retailer-specific business processes to be managed and maintained.
- The Retail Reference Architecture (RRA) describes various views of Oracle Retail's solution offerings, including contextual models, integration models, and deployment models. Those implementing Oracle Retail's products will find RRA a useful starting point in understanding how enterprise systems fit together. It is meant to convey information to a broad audience, from IT executives to development staff. The ability to know context around a particular component in a system and understand where the system plays a part in the enterprise is essential when making decisions about customization and deployment options.
- The Retail Semantic Glossary (RSG) provides a single source for defining terms, metrics, and measures used by retailers. Users can search for terms in order to understand their definition, calculation, synonyms, and context thus helping to align departments and provide consistency. The full installation of RSG also enables users to customize the glossary by adding, editing, or deleting content.
Simplified Installation Process
Each component, RRM, RRA, and RSG, is now available in a separate zip file. The zip files can be installed in any order. A full installation of RRL is also available. For more information on installation, see the Oracle Retail Reference Library README available on My Oracle Support.

A fix has been released from Microsoft today (12/17/08): More information can be found at Microsoft Security Bulletin MS08-078. If you have Windows Update running, you should have downloaded this patch automatically. If not, you can download it from here.
Users of the world's most common web browser have been advised to switch to a rival until a serious security flaw has been fixed.
The flaw in Microsoft's Internet Explorer could allow criminals to take control of people's computers and steal their passwords, internet experts say….
Click here to read the full story from the BBC.
The security flaw must be serious if people are being advised to switch to a different browser until it is fixed. Alternatives to IE (which are better =P):
My personal observations:
- In terms of speed (browser load up time), Chrome > Opera > Firefox.
- In terms of webpage load time, Chrome > Firefox > Opera.
- In terms of features/plugins, Firefox > Opera > Chrome.
- In terms of coolness, Chrome > Firefox > Opera.
I use Chrome because I like how it is faster then Firefox, but I have Firefox installed on my computer and still use it from time to time because many websites do not work properly in Chrome yet (such as Hotmail). My suggestion for people changing from IE, temporarily or otherwise, is to get Firefox.

Ashraf – nice work so far but the internet is one of the most immediate things we have in this life. Info'n ages very quickly so if you are to say that IE has a flaw and shouldn't be used – is that now, or five years ago? I suggest you put the date of your posting on the TOP of your pages. Nothing is older than yesterday's news.
And giving the headline and a UK link puts little value in your site. Give us the guts yourself.
And improve your own spelling that's what memory is for.

Guest blogging is a natural way of getting backlinks to your own blog. It helps you to become popular as a writer as well as an expert in your niche. However, you often face worst horrors while carrying out the blogging job. Here are great ideas to overcome these challenges.
Think of the topic
The first step in guest blogging is to think of the topic. Before you ask a blogger for the permission to post on their site, you should have an idea of what you want to blog about and what would be the headline of the article.

If you just want to guest post to become popular on the Internet, then try to come up with ideas about which you have expertise. This helps your post to be of high interest to the readers.
Choose a quality blog to post on
Once you have chosen the topic, you need to contact the blog owner of the blog where you wan to post on. This is one of the biggest horrors of guest blogging that many people face. It may be difficult for you to choose a quality blog to post your article on. Also, you will not know how to contact the blog owner.
Choose a blog that receives high traffic every month. This results in more people reading your content and visiting your site. It is important to find the blogs that are relevant to the topic you are interested in blogging about. Consider general topic for your article such as lifestyle, finance, fitness, health, hobbies, etc and choose the top blogs that specialize in that niche. Also, you need to find out if these blogs accept guest posts. If they do, they usually have a page that carries the blogger's guidelines. Go through these guidelines carefully before contacting the blog owner.
Before submitting your post to the blog owner, you need to do some research to get your topic approved. First, read the articles posted on that blog to get hang of the writing style, comment on several posts so that you become more familiar to the blog owner. Finally, submit your topic to the blog owner.
Editor's Note: Please read the guest post guidelines on the blog you choose. The blog owner includes these for a reason, so take the time to follow them.
Writing a quality guest post
This is yet another horror of guest blogging. When writing a post, follow a style that matches with the blog. Write as per the word count limits suggested by the blog owner, and make sure you edit the post several times to see that it is free from spelling and grammar errors. Create the article in such a way that keeps the reader engaged till the end.
The biggest challenge that many guest bloggers have in writing a quality post is completing their research. If you choose a topic that you are already aware of, then, you don't have to do much research. If you still require to research, collect quality information on the topic and use them to compose your article in your own words. Don't copy from other sources and never post an article that has been published in some other sites. This causes SEO to reject your guest post.
Respond to the readers
The final problem is that many guest bloggers fail to respond to the readers after the post is published. Keep in touch with the readers by regularly responding to their comments. This helps in promoting your post.

The Osceola County principal who was arrested on drug charges has been sentenced to a year in prison on Monday after pleading no contest, but being adjudicated guilty on all charges.
David Groover, who is the principal of Partin Settlement Elementary School in Kissimmee, was arrested in June 2012 for possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia, delivery of methamphetamine, and possession of a controlled substance without a prescription.
Groover was sentenced to 12.45 months on Monday-- the minimum sentence required by law. He had entered no contest pleas on all drug charges but was adjudicated guilty on all charges.
The 2012 arrest marked the second arrest for Groover. Groover was arrested in 2009, accused of DUI, but kept his job as principal. He resigned in June 2012 after his second arrest.

Video Find: Tease Continues For 2013 Nissan Pathfinder
The more I see it the more I like it.
I'd rather be rude and right, than polite and incorrect
Oh god, enough with the suspense already. We all know this is the new Opel Mokka. They just painted the lower bumper, fender trims to match the body and replaced the grill.
It looks like a mix of the Vue, Murano and SX4. It's still a good looking vehicle though.
No thanks, I would rather buy Ford.
Short Answer: People like me will buy it.
Smaller footprint--takes less space in Garage and easier to Park.
More importantly, More Fuel Efficient---I'm hoping it gets close to 30MPG in "All Wheel Drive".
I'm hoping it will tow up to 3500#'s.
Give me Cherry Red Exterior and Tan interior with a little wood trim and I will Buy it.
I currently drive a really Nice 2 Door Chevy Blazer and this Encore could be it's replacement.
But I want better Gas Mileage(close to 30 Hwy) and it still needs to be able to tow up to 3500#'s.
I love you General Motors, but what on earth are you doing? This Encore is not a terrible looking vehicle in my opinion. It looks rather nice and different. What I am struggling to understand is who is going to buy this car. Exactly what gap is this filling?
The front end is much better looking than I was expecting. The picture fails to give any idea of scale though, as evident by people mistaking it for the much larger Equinox, SRX, etc.
It will be interesting to see how Buick markets a subcompact.
No, it's not. The Vue and Antara were/are significantly larger. This is a subcompact model.
Badge engineering is not sharing platforms. All car companies share platforms. This same argument can be used against VW, Toyota, Honda, BMW, etc.
Badge engineering is when you take the exact same vehicle and changed nothing but the logo or front grill. Look at the last few years of Mercury and Ford for a pretty good example.
This Buick looks nothing like the Sonic with which it shares a platform. I fail to see how it is badge engineered.
Actually, no we haven't. This car is not based on the Equinox. It's based on the smaller platform the Sonic rides on.
It's bubbly, fluffy and way too "cute". Ladies, this is for you.
You're rude. Plain rude.
There has to be some rebadging because there would be no lincoln without ford,no lexus with out toyota remember Lexus started in north America. it's about doing the re badgging properly. Buick is starting to do it right. The encore looks nothing like the sonic its called platform sharing and Buick is getting it right this time. Look at the comments on this site every one thinks its a vue. Who could mistake a sonic based vehicle for an equinox based vehicle. Its called smart platform sharing. And an srx is based on the same platform as the equinox but check them out their not the same the srx is a big improvement . And yet a fusion is an mkz and that's called bad platform sharing.
Smartpants! the Encore doesn't even share platforms with those vehicles!!!
Again, read my next post. SRX, Terrain, Equinox, Vue. We have seen this, and we HAVE seen this in the United States.
Oh, and lets not forget the Cadillac SRX
Its incredible how people think that the Buick encore is too badged engineered yet we don't get opel cars in north America. This is a new car we have never seen. Check out the opel site and check out the opel meriva that the encore is based on and hope that we get that car too!!
Look, its another GMC Terrain, Chevy Equinox, Saturn Vue. It's as if GM has forgotten about their very, very recent past.
I thought that GM was gonna stop badge engineering there cars, clearly a re-skinned Equinox. whats the point of teasing it an artist could have showed us that with the first two teaser photos and a picture of an equinox. I want a Regal wagon GS, not this fat piece of squashed suburban turd mobile.
The tease thing is getting out of control...I feel like I'm putting together one of those puzzles where you slide the squares around.
Save the fancy business for a vehicle that innovates or does something other than fill a verticle market segment and help defray the costs across the given platform/parts-bin bros in question.
does Buick give a darn about your relative? he's so old he's going to die before he buys another car, he shouldn't be on the roads anyways.
Parece gordo... yeah, a smaller, chubbier VUE. I've always liked the last gen VUE, but this looks like a chic car/butterball.
So we admit that one of the biggest crimes GM ever committed was badge engineering. Let's see, Acadia, Enclave, and Traverse- same car; the Regal, new Malibu, and the original version in Europe (don't know the name) same car again; what about the Lacrosse and the new and great XTS same car again; Well I am glad they are learning their lesson and not just rebadging cars again. Oh crap I guess they still are. Well, taxpayers get ready to pony up some money again.
Here we go AGAIN!
Does no-one ever look at other source material?
C'mon Motor Trend.....let's get on the ball here....this crazy business of "guessing" is silly....
LOL this things looks like a suped up Saturn vue, at least change those ugly mirrors that appear to be transferred directly from the vue
then explain why one of my relatives uses facebook? he's 98 years old!
OHHHHHH Smelly Pete your arguement is 4 fail!!!
why is everyone calling it a Vue??? this is a Gamma platform CUV not a Theta...
anyway I kinda like it :D the wraparound rear window is kinda wierd though. but other then that it's nice. should do well to. lexus and acura beware :D
Is it just me or does it look short and stubby ? I will have to see this in person to make a final decision if I like it or not.
I'm not crazy about the rear, but the rest of it is beautiful. Not sure the size of it will ring true with buyers, but we'll see.
Wow. This thing is butt-ugly!! Badge engineered Suziki SX4, with a bit of Saturn Vue to up the ugly a little bit more. Great job GM!!!
Be American, Buy American, Buy GM. It is your patriotic duty
Doesn't look anything like Suzuki. It's a Saturn Vue/Opel Antara.
false. it's a Saturn Vue/Opel Antara.
...still playin' the ole GM violin are you? Jeez, that song gets old. And its nearly a given that there is no waiting list for this afterthought; you know it & so do we. You missed your calling. You should be trying to bamboozle people over doomsday coming 12/21/2012. Just as likely as your 30K sales of this morphadite.
My hunch is paying off. with today's further 'peek' pic, this thing is nothing more than a glorified
Suzuki SX4 with a Lucerne grille. Yawn. Oh well, if nothing else, it gives those geriatrics on a budget a nice little CUV I guess. Watch out for these on the streets of Palm Springs...
In pictures and description it looks as tho it was shrink wrapped. As to how it looks and drives in person, I'll hold off, after all they(G.M) have proven people wrong like me , before.
Look at the bright side; it could look like a Juke!
Wow, that thing is ugly. Buick's recent offerings have looked nice, but this one needs to go back to the drawing board. Looks like a Pontiac Vibe mated with a Lexus RX, and produced mutated offspring.
GM is killing! The mports are going down for good!
Go GM!
Facebook itself is actually banned in China
AAAAAhhhh I was originally looking at it and thinking that it was a replacement for the Saturn Vue using the same architecture and design. It doesn't much look like a Sonic based platform though. All signs point to Vibe/Matrix.
My thoughts also. What a ugly turd. I hope these end up at Hertz so I can run the living shit out of one and hook my Zex kit up with a 175 shot.
Of coarse its ugly. It doesnt have a Japanese 3 badge in the front for it to be awesome.
The Vibe was a re-skinned Toyota Matrix both based off the Corolla. This SUV is based off the same platform underpinning the Chevy Sonic.
Agree totally. Not ugly, but being so little and stubby defeats the purpose of buying an SUV to look more manly.
Average age of Buick Buyer is still 65 here in the states. Down from 72.
This will be yet another undeniable hit when it arrives. Waiting lists have already begun and there are roughly 30 thousand folks with their names and more arriving daily.
GM. An American Revolution
Are you sure that's not a Pontiac Vibe??? Did anything really change with GM after the Bankruptcy? Sorry, if that sounds offensive but I just think GM can be such a much better company than it is. It's more offensive to me that they keep producing such mediocre product when they are the ones who introduced the auto trans, manga ride, electric start, and etc. If I was currently shopping for a car, realistically speaking, there isn't one of theirs new, recently used, or in the works that I would consider.
Reminds me of a Suzuki SX4.

Hello All
I am here with a very "noob" like question or issue. We're using Enterprise vault 9.0.1 server, Outlook 2007 SP2 client and Enterprise vault 10.0.1 client in this case. (Hotfix for EV10 client installed on EV9 server)
Recently we noticed that when user clicks on search vault, Outlook turns into a complete blue screen with exception of navigation pane i.e the reading pane where integrated search vault page should show, appears complete blue.
Then when user tries to get back to one of folders, he/she get attached error (screen-shot)
There's no error in trace logs. I've read about this issue once and resolved using that same technote or forum but to my bad luck I didn't made note of it and now I cannot find it anywhere. I am hoping smoeone has seen this and can provide quick answer if any please or direction to look into?

Every user? All the time? Every time?
What happens if a user goes to the URL mentioned above (to searcho2k.asp) in Internet Explorer?
Have you got a screenshot of what it looks like 'in action' ?
Sorry, I "had" it but didn't save a copy it seems. I'll try to get one tomorrow first thing from user's machine.
I cannot replicate it from backend so it is hard to get those and only few users get this issue & even fewer report it to us.
Given it only impacts locally make me think it is some Outlook dll issue, but which one is I am forgetting. New Outlook profile didn't help either.
Thank You
Sorry this took so long, I've uploaded the "in action" screen-shot with original forum. (Holiday fever)
Also, I found the article I was trying to refer to:
Archive Explorer and Search Vault buttons result in a blank page in Outlook Client
I installed EV 9.0.1 HTTP client on user machine (after un-installing EV10.0.1 client) and same result. Checked the IE settings too as mentioned with technote.
Thank You
Okay I don't think the article is relevant to the issue here. Because you're not getting a blank page as such.. you're getting some sort of error.
Is this Outlook 2007 SP 3? Sorry, I don't recall all the .versions of Outlook.
How does the user get to this type of issue? Do they go in to search, then click on Archive Explorer (without going back to Outlook) for example?
It's office 2007 SP2
Below is how user gets to error:
- User clicks on Search Archive button in Outlook.
- Since desktop policy is configured to open search archive within Outlook, Outlook tries to load the search page within Outlook.
- User gets blue screen (as per screen shot)
- Then user tries to go back to main inbox or any other folder.
- Then he/she gets the prompt in bottom right about Object level issue.
- User closes and re-opens Outlook to come out of blue screen.
Archive explorer works fine, since it is configured to run on IE. Same for search archive link directly accessed via IE.
Just the integrated Outlook thing is issue.
I fixed similar white screen issue mentioned in article on my Outlook 2010 few months back, so thought it would've been related.
Thank You
Very odd.
Can you perhaps see if the same happens with Outlook and AE integrated?
Can you try Outlook 2007 SP 3?
For a 'problem user', if they login to a different PC does the problem follow them?

Ray's Place starts summer with big news
By: Brad Holden
May 25, 2012
What started out five years ago as the little youth program that could is taking a serious step forward this year with the help of $68,000 in Trillium funding and a recently acquired registered charity number.
The Trillium grant, which is spread out over three years, will go towards clubs and programs at the Ray's Place study site, which operates during the school year at 172D Mill Street (the entrance is on Caroline Street West). Laurie Copeland, who chairs the Ray's Place Board, says she hopes to run a whole fleet of clubs next year, from Toastmasters to Junior Achievement to Photography to Car Restoration to whatever else students ask for. The funds will be used to hire a part-time staff person and cover program and inititiative costs.
Meanwhile, the Ray's Place Summer Work Program, formally known as the Rent-a-Youth program, is currently gearing up for its fifth summer. From now until September, the Ray's Place study site will become head office for that program, which will be headed up this year by Josh Caswell (above), a recent university graduate who plans to attend teacher's college in the fall.
Caswell has about 30 kids signed up so far and is looking for more. For the first time, this year's application process includes an interview, so that Caswell can get to know the youth in question and have a better idea about what jobs might be suitable.
Ray's Place has also developed an extensive site inspection process, so that Caswell can make sure that all prospective jobs provide a safe environment for the workers.
"We're really all about the kids," said Copeland, adding that youths will have the opportunity this summer to take part in workshops on subjects like lawn maintenance, workplace safety, and others.
Those looking to hire youths through the program are encouraged to get in touch with Caswell. The rate is $11 per hour, of which $10 goes to the youth and $1 goes to Ray's Place administration and insurance. All manner of odd jobs can be done, and Ray's Place holds a special place in its heart for people who are willing to mentor the youths in whatever skill is needed.
"Our ideal client is someone who wants to make a difference in kids' lives," said Copeland.
To that end, an announcement is coming soon on the other great initiative being offered by Ray's Place. Within weeks, the community will learn the identity of the first recipient of the Ray's Place four-year, $20,000 post-secondary scholarship. The organization currently has two of these scholarships lined up, and hopes to find donors for two more, so there can be a new recipient each September.
It's hoped that Ray's Place's newly acquired charitable status will help towards that goal.
"In five years of operation, we've really evolved into an organization with one clear mandate," said Copeland. "That's to keep kids in school, as long as possible."
Youths aged 13-18 looking for summer work, or local residents looking to employ Ray's Place youths for odd jobs can call 705-466-3663, drop into the Ray's Place office or visit with Caswell at the Ray's Place booth at the Farmers' Market.

2011 Polar Plunge Yorkville
Yes, it is already that time of year again! Last year's Plunge was a huge success, thanks to you! I will once again be taking that "refreshing" dip in the lake...after the local fire department cuts an opening in the ice. Seeing first hand what Special Olympics means to the athletes who participate all year long in the many different programs will be more than enough to keep my thoughts warm as I enter the lake on March 6th.
I'm collecting donations from family, friends, co-workers and anyone else who wants to support the nearly 21,000 athletes with intellectual disabilities and more than 4,000 Young Athletes ages 2-7 of Special Olympics Illinois! Your donations will help provide athletes with intellectual disabilities the chance to participate in year-round sports training and competition.
To reward your generosity, I'm going to join more than 5,150 people statewide who will voluntarily jump into freezing cold water in the middle of winter as we take part in the Law Enforcement Torch Run Polar Plunges for Special Olympics Illinois. I guess you could say that I'm "Freezin' for a Reason"!
Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to make a contribution to the LETR Polar Plunge for Special Olympics Illinois.
Many thanks for your support – and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!

Research Areas: Ecology, population biology, behavioural ecology, conservation biology
My long term research examines the behavioural ecology and conservation of birds. My recent research has used radiotelemetry to determine the survival of young birds after they leave nest, and is testing how forest fragmentation and logging affects this fledgling survival. We are also using geolocators to track the long distance migration movements of songbirds to understand seasonal carry-over effects and the extent to which breeding populations depend on specific wintering regions.

"Fifteen years we've been running this and it's been a blast every year — and that's why we keep coming back," said Duane Schroeder of Grand Haven, who was part of a group dressed as "ice cream men" in a cardboard ice cream truck.
Schroeder was joined by Bob Franklin and Dan France; and their "engineer," Dan Hysell — all of Grand Haven — for the ice cream truck entry, complete with distorted "ice cream man" music. They won their first heat in the Cardboard Sled Race, but didn't place in the finals.
Melissa Heyer, an agent for Coldwell Banker Woodland Schmidt in Grand Haven — sponsor of the Cardboard Sled Race at the Ski Bowl — said the 110 entries was down from past years.
"I would say because this morning when I looked at the weather report, it said, 'ice pellets,'" Heyer said at the bottom of hill Saturday. "And I believe other people saw that, too, and thought, 'I don't want to go out in that.' But it's a beautiful day and it's great to be here."
Snow, blowing snow and icy roads earlier in the morning gave way to sunshine by late Saturday morning.
Kevin Tuuk of The City Farmer, the longtime sponsor of the Family Dog Pull at Mulligan's Hollow, said 28 dogs were entered in Saturday's races. That's down from last year's 36 entries.
"I think it was probably the lack of snow," he theorized for the lower turnout. "... The weather probably wasn't the greatest when we started this morning."
To read more of this story, see today's print or e-edition of the Grand Haven Tribune.

Dallas' own Preteen Zenith and the Yours Truly crew piled into a cramped, steamy Triplex one ridiculously hot afternoon last summer here in Dallas, TX, just one day prior to the band's first-ever show, at the inaugural GvsB Fest. As you can see, it got kind of trippy in there. "Relief" is on Preteen Zenith's debut LP, which is out now. You can listen to the whole thing here, and check Tim Delaughter's letter for YT here.

This is a fantastic trip for music lovers. In New Orleans you can catch jazz at Preservation Hall. In Memphis you can groove at BB King's Club and catch dirtier blues at the Rum Boogie Cafe on Beale Street. In Nashville there's the Grand Ol Oprey and country music pouring out of countless honky tonks on Broadway. In Chicago, check out Blues Chicago on Clark St for old school blues. Your ears will go home happy!

In the book, Black Unity: The Total Solution to Financial Independence and Happiness, author Terrance Amen explores his beliefs regarding the reasons why African Americans don't value themselves, and gives the example of how this population spends almost a trillion dollars in every community but their own. Mr. Amen goes into great detail on how to solve this problem with a national plan of action that covers education, health, family, business, finance, and others.
For this book club, Mr. Amen will work with participants to explain the belief that by simply redirecting 10% of what the African American population already spends, it will create new businesses, jobs, and deal with the other problems in the community. Self-sufficiency and financial independence are key topics of this book and discussion sessions.

Where should I go next fall? / Help: McGeorge v. USF« on: April 05, 2006, 12:10:15 PM »
Hey all, I've been lurking for a while, but now I finally have a question to ask.
What are your opinions on McGeorge (University of the Pacific in Sacramento) v. University of San Francisco? I've been offered 10K a year at McGeorge (no GPA reqs) and only 3.5 at USF. I'm from S.F. and I would like to eventually practice there. I know some people will advise going to school where you want to work, but I'm also wondering, with Sacramento about 1.5 hours away, will it make that much of a difference? And isn't the difference in ranking between the two basically not worth taking into account?

Oxnard council to discuss tobacco permit fees at first meeting since D.A.'s report
The Oxnard City Council will vote on permit fee amounts for tobacco retailers at its meeting Tuesday night — the panel's first session since a critical district attorney's report was released after a nearly two-year criminal probe.
No charges were filed, but last week's report described wasteful spending of taxpayer funds on meals and travel by Oxnard's top staff members and elected officials. The investigation also found a culture of accepting gifts such as golf games, expensive dinners and tickets from companies doing business with the city and failing to report those gifts as required by law.
Tuesday's agenda includes proposed fees for a tobacco retailer permit program adopted by the council last month. Initial permits would cost $69; annual renewals, $51. The money will help pay for efforts to reduce tobacco sales to minors.
The council also will hear a report from finance staff members on how the city enters into contracts. Councilman Tim Flynn has advocated more scrutiny of "requests for qualifications," which he said have led to favored companies' being selected for large projects without truly competitive bidding.
The council also is scheduled to appoint a union member, as required by state law, to the board overseeing the dismantling of Oxnard's redevelopment agency.
Officials also will consider a proposal to subdivide 32 acres at the northeast corner of East Fifth Street and Rice Avenue into six parcels for industrial development.
The council meets at 7 p.m. Tuesday at 305 W. Third St. A 6:30 p.m. closed session will focus on labor negotiations with the Service Employees International Union.

Although OLPC�s XO machines shipping now are based on AMD chips, a future version of the laptop based on Intel processors was in the works. The breakup, according to Intel, came after Negroponte asked the chipmaker to stop selling its Classmate PC � a machine aimed at the same market as the XO laptop � while it was part of the OLPC.
Obviously, that was a mistake. The OLPC had much more to gain by keeping Intel on the board than Intel did in joining the project. But according to OLPC president Walter Bender, relations broke down because of �a complete lack of cooperation by Intel on software, learning etc.� All in all, the lack of cooperation between the two does not bode well for the future success of the XO laptop.
