But with Daxter assisting in Jak's prison escape, the two begin their quest to find out where they are, what has happened and ultimately seek revenge on the Baron. Along the way, Jak and Daxter will encounter numerous diverse characters greatly impacting the adventure they face ahead, while they brace themselves for the foes lurking within the shadows of the city.

Let Your Inner Beauty Shine [VIDEO]
I am guilty of putting on the lipgloss and mascara before running out of the house. Not wanting anyone to see me without "my face on." 19-year-old model, Cassandra Bankson reminds us that's its the beauty on the inside that really shines.
When I say the word model, what words pop in your head? Flawless, beautiful, stunning, gorgeous; the list goes ones. But something Cassandra doesn't have is a "flawless" face, she suffers from severe acne. So bad that at times she didn't even want to leave the house.
Thanks to her courage and strength, she put up a video on YouTube demonstrating how to have a flawless face with foundation. She didn't even look at that video again for four months because it shows her bare skin; make-up free and her acne for the world to see. Too scared to see what rude comments were said. What she didn't realize is that many others were encouraging her and reminding her that she is beautiful with out without the acne.
Often times we get so caught up on the outside beauty, we forget to look at the inside. I too fall into that trap. I never had a problem with acne until I turned 26. Now it may not be as severe as Cassandra, but enough for me to feel very self conscience. I am inspired by her courage to let your true beauty shine.

ALEC's recent cockamamie schemes (and some good news)
by Jason Schwartz
February 28, 2014
When it comes to obstructing the social good in the name of corporate welfare, few have been more effective in recent history than the American Legislative Exchange Council. That innocuous name, usually shortened to ALECas if to conjure thoughts of some benign, vanilla acquaintance of your dads hides a nefarious history of stymieing environmental regulation, supporting racist voter ID rules and Floridas Stand-Your-Ground laws, and blocking the way of a living wage and collective bargaining. In the last few weeks, ALEC has given its polluting members a lot to be pleased withand given the American public a lot to scrutinize. Still, there have been some encouraging signs that fighting ALECs incursions into our Democracy can work. When the public sees how ALECs initiatives only benefit corporations and people like Charles and David Koch, tables can turn quickly.
Well start with the bad to get your heartbeat up.
- ALEC practically wrote the book on how to deny climate change, starting to peddle doubt since the early days of the Kyoto Protocol. Late last week Kert Davies documented the new lows ALEC has reached with its misinformation. ALEC has hosted industry-funded scientists to present on the benefits of atmospheric CO2, as if carbon pollution were a good thing for the world. It has supported bills in state legislatures that would make it mandatory to teach both sides of the climate scienceas if the 3% of scientists who express doubt present an equal case as the 97% of scientists who agree global warming is driven by human activities. And it has consistently lobbied on behalf of energy utilities against renewables. Please check out Kerts blog post. Its an eye opener.
- Speaking of eye openers, NRDCs Aliya Haq exposed ALECs comprehensive schemes to go guerilla-style on the EPA. Aliya puts it better than we can, and we definitely suggest you check her post out. But to give you a basic rundown, the EPA is on the verge of setting new carbon emissions limits for power plants, for the first time ever. This would be historicpower plants are the biggest source of emissions in the country. These limits would of course impact energy utilities in a big way. ALEC has gone on the attack on their behalf, waging smear campaigns against the EPA and supporting legislation in ten states that would limit state governments ability to enforce the new EPA standards.
- Rounding out Aliyas and Kerts analysis of ALEC climate obstructionism were two more great posts: In one, Union of Concerned Scientists Sam Gomberg looks into ALECs efforts to roll back Ohios impressive gains in renewables and efficiency standards.
- Meanwhile over at DeSmogBlog, Steve Horn documents the progress of two bills currently in the Florida legislature. Both of them are Exxon-and-ALEC-backed policy that would deeply damage transparency over the chemicals used in fracking. These disclosure laws are so full of loopholes with telling nicknamesanything people refer to as the Haliborton loophole can't be goodthat one original Texas legislator who initially sponsored the law lamented, This disclosure bill has a hole big enough to drive a Mack truck through.
- Over at the Institute for Southern Studies, Sue Sturgis documents how ALEC teamed with Duke Energy in its national efforts to fight stricter regulations on coal ash. If passed, those regulations would have paved the way for safer storage of coal ash, a toxic byproduct of coal burning. Had they gone throughinstead of being blocked through the actions of ALEC and DukeDukes huge spill in North Carolina earlier this month may have been avoided.
- Continuing on the Duke/ALEC connection, Gabe Elsner over at the Energy & Policy Institute has been writing about Dukes and ALECs combined efforts to attack net metering in North Carolina, while exposing similar anti-solar energy efforts in Washington stateand Kansas. Obviously, any program that would pay homeowners for sending excess electricity produced by their own rooftop solar installations back to the grid would be bad for big utilities. But it would be a positive in almost all other respects. The lengths to which ALEC has fought to defeat such a cornerstone of good renewable energy policy speak volumes about how scared the very notion makes big electric utilities.

Wellington, Oct 11(ANI): New Zealand all rounder Jacob Oram will reportedly announce his retirement from international Test and one-day cricket in the coming few days.
Oram, who missed the final stages of the recent Champions Trophy held in South Africa due to a hamstring complaint, has been assessing his future since arriving home. It is said that he had discussions with New Zealand Cricket about retiring and could call a press conference as early as tomorrow to reveal his plans.
"I am obviously gutted with my latest injury and missing out on an ICC event - these events are particularly special. At the moment I am spending some time assessing my future and trying to work out what is best for me and the Black Caps," Stuff.co.nz quoted Oram, as saying.
Oram began his international career against Zimbabwe in 2001, but despite being considered by many to be one of the world's best allrounders, his career has been blighted by injury.
Oram, who has played 33 Tests and 132 one-dayers, will stand down from both forms of the game, but may consider playing for New Zealand Twenty20 team.
New Zealand Cricket Players Association executive manager Heath Mills said that he would back Oram on his decision and indicated that an announcement on his future was imminent."Jacob, I know, has been thinking pretty hard about his future at the moment. He's had a horrible run with injury of late and there's no question the demands of playing cricket 11 months of the year across the three formats is starting to take its toll on his body," Mills said."Unfortunately, as we all know, this is not a new issue for Jacob to contemplate. But, he is an intelligent and thoughtful guy who, I am sure after due process, will make the right decision for his cricket whatever that may be," he added. (ANI)

London - Hundreds of volunteers searched around Edinburgh on Friday for a three-year-old boy who vanished from his bed.
Mikaeel Kular, who is of South Asian origin, was last seen on Wednesday evening when his mother Rosdeep put him to bed at their home to the north of the Scottish capital.
Police launched a major ground, air and sea search but failed to find any trace of the missing toddler, while more than 200
volunteers helped comb through woodland and the nearby coastline.
Officers said they were investigating reported sightings of a young boy spotted walking alone down a street close to Mikaeel's home on Thursday morning.
Assistant Chief Constable Malcolm Graham of Police Scotland said detectives were investigating the possibility that the little boy was kidnapped.
"It's of grave concern that such a young child has been missing for such a long time," Graham told reporters.
"It's entirely possible that Mikaeel has left the house of his own accord and all of our actions are attempting to cover that possibility. It is, however, entirely possible that Mikaeel has become subject to a criminal act."
"Specialist resources" from across Scotland have been deployed for the search, he added.

It seems to be the week for AMD Radeon HD 6870 graphics cards… just yesterday we had ASUS release a custom-cooled, factory overclocked card; today it is the turn of Gigabyte. The systems manufacturer today came up with its own version of an overclocked Radeon HD 6870 card in the form of the GV-R6870OC-1GD.
It is quite evident that the card has been prepared specifically for the enthusiast and performance segment – the high quality components used could mean nothing else. For starters the card has been equipped with Gigabyte's proprietary PCB and cooler. The roughly 10in long PCB used an Ultra Durable VGA+ construction for extra durability, stability, and cool operations.
For cooling, Gigabyte had loaded the GPU with its WindForce 3X cooler. This fabulous cooler is made up of three 80mm fans, and an extra large aluminum fin array that spread the heat around extremely efficiently. This should give enthusiasts lots of space for tweaking and pushing the card beyond a few barriers.
In terms of speeds, the GPU has been already been factory overclocked at 915 MHz against the 900 MHz found on the reference. Memory though is the same as the reference card at 4200 MHz, 1GB GDDR5 and 256-bit interface. For connectivity, the card has two DVI and DisplayPort outputs and a single HDMI port.
Availability and pricing are yet to be revealed.

Chevrolet Repair Questions? Ask a Chevy Mechanic for Answers ASAP
If the ecm1 fuse is blowing you either have high resistance in the wire harness or a failed component(ecm, injector,egr solenoid) you can try disconnecting the egr solenoid and see if it stops. For the injector or wires you will have to use a multi meter and ohm them out.
good luck
ECM 1 fuse continues to blow out , oil pressure sensor has got a good ground and the wiring harness seems to be in good shape. I'am lost and don't know what to try next?

YOUNGSTERS from a Cwmbran school met people living at an over-50s retirement complex as part of a police project to "build respect between generations".
The visit by Year 9 and 10 pupils from Croesyceiliog Comprehensive School to the Woodland Court home was part of a police and crime commissioner-funded project aimed at breaking down any "unhelpful stereotypes" that may exist, said the PCC's office.
The youngsters took part in games with the residents of the Bron Afon-run complex.
Bron Afon were awarded £2,000 from the Commissioner's Partnership Fund, which opened last September, for a project which aims to help them tackle anti-social behaviour.
Up to £100,000 in total was made available for projects aimed at helping to prevent crime and address anti-social behaviour, of which 25 organisations were successful in being given funding.
Sam Notley, Bron Afon's youth engagement support officer, said: "This project provides a great opportunity to bring together the younger and more senior members of the community in order to challenge perceived stereotypes between the age groups.
"The aim of the project is to deliver fun, interactive workshops which will focus on highlighting similarities rather than difference, and will cover topics such as stereotypes, experiences and respect."
Shelley Bosson, chief executive for Gwent's Police and Crime Commissioner, who attended the event, said such projects "play an important role in developing mutual respect between different generations" and said both the youngsters and the older people "can learn a great deal from each other" and learn to respect each other's values.
"We want fewer victims of crime in our communities and we recognise the fantastic role that these projects can play," she said.

I still remember the moment I realised – beyond doubt – that I wanted to be a journalist. It was the autumn of 2006 and Leo Whitlock, then editor of the Kentish Express in Ashford, had invited me into his newsroom for a week of work experience.
The work was the usual fare assigned to the eager but inexperienced: bashing out a bit of filler and the chance to grab a byline or two with some safe human interest tales. But what I remember to this day was my disbelief that this was actually considered work. Here was a room full of clever people, being nosy and argumentative, drinking tea and cracking jokes – all while producing something that thousands of people would read each and every week.
I knew immediately that this was the kind of life I wanted to experience for myself.
And once I had landed myself a job as a trainee reporter on the Dover Express I discovered the life of a newspaper reporter to be everything I'd hoped for and more. Yes, it could be extremely stressful. The hours could be unsociable. And the experienced hacks intimidating. But it was never boring, and I learnt so much during the four years I was on the paper that it's fair to say I walked away a different person to the lad who pitched up in the newsroom in May 2007.
What really made those years some of the best of my life were the people I worked with. For a time our newsroom in Dover consisted of myself, reporter Yamurai Zendera and news editor Kathy Bailes. We were a small team, but this meant we got to know each other well and in time we were working as one to produce what we believed was an excellent newspaper.
Kathy was a fantastic news editor. Always helping to hone your reporting skills, always backing her reporters and their work, and always ready to muck in with the less glamorous tasks to ensure we got the paper out on the streets each Thursday morning despite our limited resources. My day-to-day relationship with my colleagues – the joking, the batting about of ideas and developing stories, the criticism when warranted – helped to make me a better reporter. I have no doubt Kathy equipped me with many of the skills that have helped me to successfully navigate my path since I left the Express.
And it is this experience, my experience of life as a trainee reporter, that makes me saddened by what appears to be a growing trend towards the breaking up of newsrooms, or in the words of Local World, the freeing of journalists from 'the constraints of an office'.
In recent months we have heard senior managers in the local press championing the freedom being given to staff as a result of office closures. Closures at Luton on Sunday and the Northampton Herald & Post. Closure at the Crewe Chronicle. Closures across the South Wales Valleys. Predictions that swathes of local newspapers would be lost as a result of the financial crash may thankfully have proved false, but many newspaper offices in the heart of their communities (including that of the Dover Express) have been lost in recent years.
And with each new announcement of office closures we hear the same refrain from the senior figures wheeled out to try to put a positive spin on the news.
The comments of Local World's Richard Duxbury following the decision to shutter the offices of Luton on Sunday and the Northampton Herald & Post sum up the tone of most of these pronouncements from on high: "We continue to build our town centre presence in our key markets now that our employees are mobilised and can generate sales and content without the constraints of an office. The Luton and Northampton hubs will offer a greater service to our clients and bring us closer to our local audience."
I'm all for the adoption of flexible working practices made possible by technological advances. And I'll leave it to you to decide if closing newspaper offices is the best way to get closer to your readers. But what will be lost along with our physical newsrooms is the sense of camaraderie that makes working for a newspaper so special, the bonds between colleagues that ensure knowledge and skills are passed down effectively from editor to senior to trainee.
The world changes and working practices change. But having experienced just how exciting a workplace a newsroom can be I can't help feeling deeply sorry for those young reporters who find themselves cast out with a laptop, a smartphone and directions to the nearest coffee shop. Yes, you can report with those tools. But can you learn to be a reporter?

Sounds of Twilight: The 5 Best Songs From the Twilight Soundtracks
Like most writers who aren't named Stephenie Meyer, I find the Twilight novels an abhorrent abomination and a great offense to the written word. I assume the movies are the same to serious filmmakers. But Twilight presents me with a unique problem. Having one foot in the world of writing and literature, I feel compelled to hate anything and everything associated with it. But with the other foot in the world of music, I have to admit: The movie soundtracks are totally awesome.
Way back when the first Twilight film was released in 2008, it came as a shock that legitimate artists were on the soundtrack. I mean, how could that be possible? Shouldn't this be filled with the kind of garbage that I presume the fans of the movies would listen to? But now it's just something to accept. Twilight soundtracks almost always contain some great songs by some of the best artists around today, such as these five.
5. Perry Farrell, "Go All the Way (Into the Twilight)"
The Jane's Addiction front man goes electro-pop for this single from the first Twilight soundtrack. Sounding vaguely like one of Nine Inch Nails' more accessible recent singles, it's just too undeniably catchy to overlook.

The big single from that soundtrack ended up being Paramore's "Decode," but for those of us turned off by that band's hackneyed attempts at mainstream emo, Farrell's song is the hit.
4. Iron and Wine, "Flightless Bird, American Mouth"
This folkie waltz also comes from the first Twilight soundtrack. It appears in the movie during Bella and Edward's prom, and while I can assure you there isn't a school in the country that actually plays Iron and Wine songs at proms or other dances, it is nevertheless one of Samuel Beam's prime cuts.
Incidentally, it showed up again later as a wedding remix on the soundtrack for Breaking Dawn Part 1 (2011), a stripped-down orchestral version that wouldn't sound out of place in a smoky club in the 1950s.
3. Beck & Bat for Lashes, "Let's Get Lost"
You know you're doing something right if you manage to get Beck involved with your project. Aside from being a great musician, he's just the pinnacle of cool. Here he duets with Bat for Lashes on a track that could have easily been on Bjork's Post.
You can hear the Bjork influence in Natasha Khan's vocal performance, yet she makes the track her own with a twist of Kate Bush in her style. And when Beck shows up with his verse, you know this one's a winner.
2. Thom Yorke, "Hearing Damage"
From the New Moon soundtrack (2009), this single from the Radiohead front man features some of Yorke's heaviest electronic exploration since his band's seminal album Kid A. It serves as a distinct precursor to their latest album, The King of Limbs, and features Yorke's trademark ethereal vocals. Who knows what it has to do with Twilight, but I'm just glad to have more Thom Yorke to go around, period.
Battles has to be one of the weirdest bands to break into the mainstream in years. Apparently to get this on the Eclipse soundtrack (2010), Battles had to re-record it three times, with edits suggested by the film's producers. You can really tell, because this is a far more accessible-sounding Battles.
Regardless, it maintains all of the group's charm, with a break reminiscent of Animal Collective and guitar squeals in the background taken straight from a Scary Monsters-era Bowie track, which eventually turns into an extended polka-rock fusion outro.

AUBURN ---- Sixty pairs of father and sons will be attending the fourth annual Jeff Lebo Father-Son Basketball Camp Friday and Saturday in Beard-Eaves-Memorial Coliseum. Three generations of Lebos along with Jeff's father, Coach Dave Lebo and Jeff's 6-year-old son, Creighton, will be participating.
"It's the camp that I actually have the most fun with because it is with fathers and sons," said Coach Jeff Lebo. "It is special for me because I do it with my dad and my son."
Beginning Friday at 2 pm and concluding Saturday at 11 am, the camp will feature station drills, contests in which fathers and sons participate in together as well as competition. The highlight comes at the end of camp when everyone goes through the Auburn Experience in which Aubie makes an appearance and all the fathers and sons are introduced in a starting lineup format on the public address system with their names and hometowns.
"The camp that I enjoy the most of all the camps I've been involved with is the Father-Son Camp," says Coach Dave Lebo. "What is special for me is there are three generations with father, son and grandson.
"We really enjoy doing this. It is a fun event and is a great way for fathers and sons to bond through basketball. Some will stay overnight and others will commute."

Moira Merrithew
Executive Director, Education
Balance has to do with more than just how well or how long you can stand on one leg. Dancers must maintain balance whether they are standing still or moving swiftly about the stage since their eyes are constantly re-focusing in different directions. Good control of balance and stability of the entire spine, hips, knees and ankles are essential in any dancer. Balance is achieved through the coordination of three body systems: the vestibular system (inner ear, proprioceptors), motor system (muscles, tendons and joints) and visual system (signals from the eyes to the brain).
Dancers need to concentrate on their overall balance, but more importantly, dancers need the extra conditioning of their body's systems in order to avoid injury and enhance their performance. One of the key elements of Pilates is to train the neuro muscular systems enabling the body systems to work in unison. When it comes to increasing the awareness of an individual's body in motion, dancers must train their mind and body which is their instrument to work in unison.
Cadillacs, just like the car they are fondly named after, require scheduled tune-ups. Fortunately, the cost of tuning up your Cadillac Trapeze Table is a small fraction of the price – and you can do it easily yourself without the help of a mechanic.
Using the ½" x 9/16" wrench that was included with your Cadillac:
Check for deformation of springs (gaps in spring coils) and wear of spring clips. Replace worn parts as required. Please note: All springs and springs clips should be replaced every two years.

Wisconsin Sandstorm Blows Through Minnesota
Here's your morning jolt of news, insight and analysis on the global energy business. Send us tips, suggestions and complaints: firstname.lastname@example.com

The U.S. shale bonanza is creating a boom in another, perhaps less likely, commodity—sand, a key ingredient in fracking.
Sand use has increased 25% since 2011, The Wall Street Journal's Alison Sider and Kristin Jones report, with a further 20% rise expected in the next two years.
Oil companies need enormous quantities of sand to pour down oil and gas wells and flush out fossil fuels. It takes 25 railcars of sand, on average, to frack one well, and companies are experimenting with increasing the amount of sand they use to see if this boosts output.
The biggest beneficiary is the state of Wisconsin. The white sand found there is the shale industry's ingredient of choice, and the number of active mines there has increased to more than 100 from just five in 2010.
Sand mining companies have benefited greatly: Shares in Houston-based Hi-Crush Partners have jumped 59% since August 2012, while those in U.S. Silica Holdings have doubled since the company went public in 2012.
This isn't all a good news story, though. Exposure to silica dust is causing concern. Breathing in the tiny particles has been shown to link to cancer and silicosis, an incurable but preventable lung disease. The Journal reports that the huge increase in demand for sand has some believing that a few new companies are operating with a sharper focus on production than on how that production is achieved.
In the small town of Winona, MN, citizens have begun monitoring the air-pollution levels caused by the sand being trucked through for delivery to fracking operations elsewhere. That sand is coming from Wisconsin.
Large parts of Venezuela, including the capital city, Caracas, have been consumed into darkness. For a country sitting on one of the world's largest reserves of crude oil, this is an embarrassment above and beyond the Great Toilet Paper Shortage, when the government sent in the National Guard to prevent a run on one of life's essentials.
The official line is sabotage; the reality is likely a little more prosaic: a shaky grid. This looks and smells like a crisis—the government has been moved to deny it has deals in place with, of all things, U.S. banks to counter a shortage of hard currency.
No wonder Venezuela is maintaining its usual stance on supply and demand at this week's OPEC meeting. The country has an abundance of heavy crude that is expensive to produce. A drop in the price of oil could cause yet more strain.
In the latest from the story that never stops, BP may have been spared making hundreds of millions of dollars in compensation payments stemming from the 2010 Deepwater Horizon spill.
The Fifth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has called for a halt to payments to any business that cannot trace its injury directly back to the spill.
These payments may have to be made at a later date, however. BP estimates the settlement will cost it about $9.2 billion.
Brent crude oil prices fell slightly in London on Tuesday after they briefly hit a near three-month high in the previous session. Read the Journal's latest oil-markets report here.

Fergie: Ferdinand no longer first-choice
Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has revealed that he no longer considers Rio Ferdinand to be one of his first-choice central defenders.
• Fergie: No rush for Solskjaer
Ferdinand, who turns 33 on Monday, has increasingly struggled with injury problems in recent seasons - making it difficult for him to appear regularly for United. He was also left out of the first team in favour of Jonny Evans for the trip to Everton at the weekend, despite both playing a part in the recent 6-1 hammering at the hands of Manchester City.
Ferdinand's partnership with Nemanja Vidic has long been considered among football's very best but, with both Chris Smalling and Phil Jones pushing for regular first team football since joining the club, Ferguson has acknowledged that the man he signed from Leeds United for £30 million in 2002 is no longer one of the first names on the team sheet.
"I explained to Rio that, simply, we have two young centre halves coming through," Ferguson said, ahead of United's Champions League game against Otelul Galati on Wednesday. "I'm really happy to have the four of them and I hope to keep the four of them for a long time, but Rio is obviously 33 now and he's obviously lost the yard of pace he had five years ago."
While Ferdinand will no longer be an automatic selection for United's most important games, Ferguson expects him to remain a valuable player for the club - although he will need to adapt his game as a result of his physical limitations.
"That doesn't mean to say he can't play the game in a different way - where he used to rely on his place he doesn't do that now, he can't do that now. That's obvious," Ferguson added.
"We've all faced that decisive moment in our careers where you realise you have to change your game. I did it myself as a player when I lost that real sharpness, and Rio will do the same and he'll be fine."

RadioShack announced Tuesday it will close up to 1,100 stores after the Fort Worth-based company experienced poor performance during the holiday season.
"Our fourth-quarter financial results were driven by a holiday season characterized by lower store traffic, intense promotional activity, particularly in consumer electronics, a very soft mobility marketplace and a few operational issues," said RadioShack CEO Joseph C. Magnacca in a news release.
Central Texas has five RadioShack stores between Temple and Copperas Cove, with two in Killeen. Several others are in the Austin and Waco areas.
The company hasn't determined which stores will close, but location, area demographics, lease life and financial performance will all be factors, Magnacca said.
"We are not releasing a store closing list at this time," said Maggie Thill, a public relations representative. "However, RadioShack will maintain market coverage as part of this plan."
After the stores close, the company will have more than 4,000 stores and 900 franchise sites. That is far more than Best Buy, which has about 1,400 U.S. locations.
The announcement represents the latest setback for RadioShack, which is working to rebrand itself as a specialist in wireless devices and accessories.
"Even in this environment, we're continuing to make progress on the five pillars of our turnaround plan: repositioning the brand, revamping the product assortment, reinvigorating the stores, operational efficiency and financial flexibility," Magnacca said in the news release.
The Associated Press contributed to this story.

How did Post 71 in Florida make it back home again?
According to Post 71 in Lake Wales, Fla., Centennial Celebration page: "In 1920, the Lake Wales American Legion was chartered. In 1948, a building was under construction. On January 25, 1949, the post dedicated this building ... sold the building in 1975, which ... has been sold several times since. It has been a grocery store, skating rink, Department of Motor Vehicles, etc. In September 2012, a committee of the post viewed the building and fell in love with it. When they walked through the front door and saw a tile with the Legion emblem, they knew they were home.
"They started moving into it a week later. Some trees were removed and a flagpole has been set in place since the first day. We are proud to be home again, this is where we should be. The rededication was held on January 26, 2013, with Florida state Lt. Gov. Jennifer Carroll, PDC Fletcher Williams Jr., and 2010-2013 7th District Commander Nancy Thomas as speakers. This building has given us hope for the future to be able to do our American Legion programs, to serve God and Country, to be veterans serving veterans."

The controversial scheme was slammed by campaigners who are desperately trying to get County Hall to reverse the cost-saving measure.
Alf Papworth, 80, of Ashdown Crescent, Hadleigh, is the co-ordinator of the local neighbourhood watch and said he fears the amount of crime will increase.
"We have had around 18 crimes in the last couple of months and this number will surely increase. 95 per cent of the residents in this estate are pensioners and this will affect them more than most. Add in the fact that we are on the hill and I cannot understand why we are not one of the areas with lights still burning."
Bill Russell, 63, of High Road, Benfleet, said he fails to understand the scheme.
"There are so many areas in the borough that are now out-of-bounds after dark. I suffer from spinal osteoarthritis and, should I ever be out at that time or returning from somewhere, I will have to have my torch on me. I may carry it around all the time just to be safe.
"My neighbours hide behind their curtains. It isn't much fun."
Suhed Ahmed, owner of A & N Taxis, in Edith Road, Canvey said his drivers were against the new scheme and passengers were also venting their frustrations.
He said: "It is a very difficult time for the drivers. After midnight we are unable to see numbers on doors and it is very low visibility anyway. With it being pitch black down the side roads we are having to be more cautious and these delays are consequently running up customers bills.
"It will only get worse as the months get busier. This is our quietest month so the coming months will prove to be more problematic."
It is believed the project will save Essex County Council more than £1million a year – £64,000 in Castle Point - with almost a third of that sum, £20,000, saved in Canvey alone.

Music Video: Arcade Fire "You Already Know"August 18, 2014
Arcade Fire have turned most of their support of their last LP, Reflektor, into an ongoing art project. Stage personas, TV specials, lots of masks, etc. Seems only appropriate then for their newest music video for 'You Already Know," the band can be seen shooting what appears to be a slightly higher budget selfie video with talking/singing paintings. We approve.

Meanwhile, the Air Force changes its story:
The mystery of the Stephenville UFOs might have been solved.
Today the Air Force Reserve said on the night of January 8, ten F-16 fighter jets were conducting training flights in the area. Many of the suspected UFO sightings took place on that night.
Originally, the 301st Fighter Wing at the Naval Air Station Fort Worth Joint Reserve Base said none of its jets were in the area that night.In a statement today, a Wing spokesman says they made a mistake and that jets were flying in the Stephenville area that evening.

Venezuela's leader Nicolas Maduro divides opinion
Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro divides opinion almost as much as his predecessor in office, Hugo Chavez.
While he lacks the magnetism followers of Mr Chavez attributed to the late president, he is a commanding figure in Venezuela, and not just because of his stature of 1.90m (6ft 3in).
Derided as a poor copy of his mentor, Mr Maduro has not been ousted by the opposition or by rivals in his own party, as some had predicted when he was elected in April 2013.
However, he has failed to win over the opposition after sticking very closely to the fiery rhetoric of Mr Chavez.
Tough stance
His government's tough approach to mass anti-government protests in the first half of 2014 and the jailing of thousands of demonstrators prompted criticism from human rights groups and sanctions from the United States.
His opponents paint him as a ruthless despot who detains his political rivals on overly harsh charges pressed by a judiciary under his party's control, while his followers say he is protecting the country from another coup.
But with oil prices plummeting below $50 (£33) a barrel, Mr Maduro's approval rating has been falling, too.
Venezuela's economy is almost entirely reliant on its oil exports and the president is facing a severe economic crisis as well as a hostile opposition.
And with financing for the government's generous social programmes in jeopardy, some are questioning how committed those who voted for Mr Maduro really are to the socialist cause and their leader.
Divided society
But predictions about how voters would turn away from the governing PSUV party after the death of Hugo Chavez have proven wrong before.
In presidential polls in April 2013, triggered by Mr Chavez's death the previous month, Mr Maduro won by a razor-thin margin.
But in local elections eight months later, the government coalition won 54% of the vote, a comfortable 10-point lead over the opposition.
And while mass anti-government protests rocked cities such as San Cristobal and Caracas in the first half of 2014, they were largely confined to areas where opposition supporters lived.
After the jailing of the most vocal of the opposition leaders, Leopoldo Lopez, and the arrests of thousands of protesters, the demonstrations became less frequent and eventually fizzled out.
And there is no shortage of those who will come out to back their leader.
Following his return from a whirlwind international tour to OPEC countries in January, many lined the streets to welcome Mr Maduro.
But even Mr Maduro himself has acknowledged the hurt caused by the economic crisis.
Couching it in terms of an "economic war" waged against Venezuela by the US and a "parasitic bourgeoisie", he has called on Venezuelans to be "ready to defeat the economic mafia" whom he blames for the country's economic woes.
Binding ties
Much of his rhetoric echoes that of Mr Chavez, peppered with criticism of the US and its "imperialist aggression".
This is not surprising as Mr Maduro's ties to Chavismo, the brand of socialism spread by Hugo Chavez, go back some 25 years, when Mr Chavez served time in prison for the attempted coup of 1992.
During this time, Mr Maduro also met his future wife, Cilia Flores, a prominent lawyer on Mr Chavez's defence team.
Mr Maduro is a political veteran, having been a member of Venezuela's parliament, the National Assembly, and at one point becoming the assembly's speaker.
He served as President Chavez's foreign minister from 2006 until 2013, and briefly as vice-president, taking over as acting president upon Mr Chavez's death in March of 2013 until new elections were held the following month.
He invokes the memory of his predecessor incessantly, quoting Mr Chavez and frequently speaking in front of a picture of the late leader.
Since Mr Chavez's death he has kept the Chavismo legacy alive, a move welcomed by those who have benefitted from the reduction in inequality and poverty but much to the chagrin of those who believe the country has been driven into ruin by 16 years of what they consider misguided policies.

The energy fields around the human body is created by the movement of energy and consciousness within the chakras. The first energy that comes from the body is the etheric field. It is a belief that that the etheric body is the energetic twin to your physical body, when many healing activities can be performed what will eventually affect the physical state. This is the very first energy body which is "visited" by a Reiki practitioner with the intention to heal.
The energy field is also associated with your thoughts and emotions. Your thoughts emit electromagnetic fields and your emotions also put out electromagnetic fields. This changes constantly as your emotions change. Different colors and patterns can be visible. However, most people have tuned them out, so we don't know they are there. The energy can be also perceived as vibration, temperature change, movement or lack of movement, tingling sensations, pulling or pushing away sensations. Sometimes one color (or one vibration) can be very stubborn and needs attention. Stationary patterns frequently herald a problem, a block which needs to be removed or push into motion.
Aura Cleansing is one of the two different Energy Services being offered at the Reiki Wisdom center, which actively involve both Reiki Master and a Client.
It is composed of two major steps:
However, for a master there are many phases during aura cleansing, of which a client is not even aware of.
The process can be done on a massage table or in a standing or sitting/meditating position, depending of a characteristics and a position of the energy block. Sometimes this process is called "aura surgery" and is done by a master during a regular session if the energy block is spotted in the Master's Third Eye awareness. However it is more effective if both a client and a practitioner are focused together on the energy block to be removed.
Comparing the Aura Cleansing with the Healing Attunement it needs to be said that this process does not involve imbedding the energy of the Reiki sacred symbols on a client. Symbols are only used on a master involved in the aura surgery. This is like taking a shower, after which you feel refreshed. However the next day you need to wash your body again. The aura cleansing is effective as a part of treatment which I will customize for you, depending on your needs.
This is a 60 minute service for the price of $60.
You need to send me an appointment form, selecting all pertinent options. I will respond within 24 hours.

PORT CHARLOTTE — Manager Joe Maddon has a new cause.
Having worked extensively to help the homeless in the Tampa Bay area through his Thanksmas charity program, Maddon has now set his sights on his hometown of Hazleton, Pa.
In short, he wants to help integrate the growing Hispanic population (in excess of 10,000) into a seemingly reluctant old-school community to help keep the whole city from dying.
After meeting with Hispanic families during his holiday visit home, Maddon said he realized the Dominicans and Puerto Ricans and other Hispanics there now are following the same path the European immigrants, including his own family, did generations ago but are not being welcomed.
"It's exactly what we looked like 50, 60, 70 years ago. … There's no difference, and I think that's where the people back home are losing sight, or our memories are too short," Maddon said. "And at that moment, it slapped me in the face exactly what we needed — these people want to work, they want to help our city thrive, and they want something better for themselves. … "
Eventually, Maddon would like to see the Hispanics opening restaurants and stores to revitalize the city. But his first steps will be more general, to make the Hispanics feel welcome and to raise awareness and some funding.
He hopes to bring in several Hispanic Rays for a postseason visit and wants to host a showing of the movie It's a Wonderful Life and stage a Thanksmas meal event. With the help of his wife, Jaye, and other relatives who still live in Hazleton, he hopes to find funding for the purchase of a community center, where Hispanic kids could gather after school to stay out of trouble and adults can take English classes.
"Let's take advantage of these good people and help them assimilate into the community because otherwise the city is going to go away as far as I can tell," he said. "It's going to be a very lackluster place to live and not attract anything dynamic. I think these people have a chance to make it a dynamic area."
RAYS RUMBLINGS: Among the themed dress-up road trips being planned: skinny jeans. … Maddon was ranked MLB's fifth-best manager by the Boston Globe's Nick Cafardo. … After putting seven Rays prospects in its top 100, Baseball America also raved about LHP Alex Torres, calling him "the most unsung player in the deep Rays system." BA editors weren't kind to SS Tim Beckham, saying "there doesn't appear to be any argument" to place him among the top 300 prospects. … The Rays are planning to travel twice this season by train between New York and Boston. … ESPN's Buster Olney ranked the Rays' early season scheduled as the seventh easiest among AL teams.

In the newest Toys 'R' Us catalog that I just received, they have Count Dooku's Solar Sailor for $99.99AUD. Looks like this is a TRU Exclusive as well......which is a shame because it's a little on the expensive side.
They also have Darth Vaders TIE Fighter for $49.99 which is normal price I think.
Catalog runs from 18 -24 Feb 2009.

Naomi Klein: Super Storm SandyA Peoples Shock?
from The Nation:
Super Storm SandyA Peoples Shock?
Naomi Klein
November 5, 2012
[font size="1"]Rockaway resident Christine Walker walks along the beach under what is left of the boardwalk in the borough of Queens, New York, Monday, Nov. 5, 2012, in the wake of Superstorm Sandy. (AP Photo/Craig Ruttle)[/font]
Less than three days after Sandy made landfall on the East Coast of the United States, Iain Murray of the Competitive Enterprise Institute blamed New Yorkers resistance to big-box stores for the misery they were about to endure. Writing on Forbes.com he explained that the citys refusal to embrace Walmart will likely make the recovery much harder: Mom-and-pop stores simply cant do what big stores can in these circumstances, he wrote.
And the preemptive scapegoating didnt stop there. He also warned that if the pace of reconstruction turned out to be sluggish (as it so often is) then pro-union rules such as the Davis-Bacon Act would be to blame, a reference to the statute that requires workers on public-works projects to be paid not the minimum wage, but the prevailing wage in the region.
The same day, Frank Rapoport, a lawyer representing several billion-dollar construction and real estate contractors, jumped in to suggest that many of those public works projects shouldnt be public at all. Instead, cash-strapped governments should turn to public private partnerships, known as P3s. That means roads, bridges and tunnels being rebuilt by private companies, which, for instance, could install tolls and keep the profits.
Up until now, the only thing stopping them has been the lawspecifically the absence of laws in New York State and New Jersey that enable these sorts of deals. But Rapoport is convinced that the combination of broke governments and needy people will provide just the catalyst needed to break the deadlock. There were some bridges that were washed out in New Jersey that need structural replacement, and its going to be very expensive, he told The Nation. And so the government may well not have the money to build it the right way. And that's when you turn to a P3. ..............(more)

3. The sad part is that disasters can be used in a positive way.
They can be a catalyst for preventing future disasters. They can be used to strengthen communities and governments. Instead of using them to steal from the poor and funnel more money to the filthy rich, they should be used to prevent future similar problems from ever occurring. You know, like actually doing something about global climate change.

Great customer service, took time to make sure my glasses were right. Thank you
Color: Gunmetal; Size: M
Got pretty much what I expected in terms of quality, shape, and size, and therefore I am a satisfied customer. The colour, in my opinion, appears a few shades lighter in person than it did online. I viewed these frames on three different devices and none of them really showed a true to life colour. They are a little more silver than gunmetal, in my opinion. This did not turn me off, personally. Very happy with the frames!

EyeBuyDirect offers 4 different frame sizes (XS, S, M, L) so choosing the right one is key to making sure your new glasses correctly fit your face. Each size group is based on frame width and lens height
Take your current frame and measure its total width (from temple screw to temple screw) and its lens height. Once you have both numbers, enter the results in the fields below to find your best fit
