Getting Me Down + What You Do With What You Have (Radio Rip)
With lives as frantic as the hours, one needs discipline and a good memory if, for example, one wishes to listen to the radio show by Hessle Audio on Rinse FM. It's well worth the effort though. Those who regularly listen to the Thursday night show will know both "Getting Me Down" and "What You Do With What You Have". The first –an adaptation of an early track by Brandy– wreaked such havoc that it was sold out as soon as it was pressed on vinyl (single-sided, released last week). A re-press of the single is about to be released, so don't think twice and get it. The second tune, according to the people at Red Bull Music Academy, features the voice of none other than Moodymann, taken from one of the lectures he gave at the Academy. Whatever the source of the vocal sample, "What You Do With What You Have" has everything it needs to become another "now you see me, now you don't", if it's released on vinyl in a limited edition. Conclusion: stay alert for Blawan, the maker of both instant hits. If he keeps up this pace of releasing a banger a month, he'll be top scorer at the end of the season.

WAYNESBURG – On May 4 and 5, people from all over Greene County put on their tennis shoes and came together to help raise money for cancer treatment and research through Relay for Life.
On May 3, Rolling Meadows Nursing and Rehabilitation held its own charity event for the 11th year in a row, the Rock-A-Thon.
The event consisted of residents of Rolling Meadows and members of the community taking a seat in large wooden rocking chairs and rocking, and as long of the participants kept rocking, they kept earning money for cancer research. The event raised $1,321.41.
The Rock-A-Thon was created for people of the community who still want to help support Relay for Life but are not capable of walking around a track for hours. Instead, the Rock-A-Thon has participants rock for as long as they felt inclined to from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.
More than 100 people came out for the event, according to activities director Sharon Jeffries.
"It gets bigger and better every year," said Jeffries. "It truly is a blessing."
By adding new attractions such as the craft and vending show, karaoke and the Chinese auction, Jeffries has seen the event grow and grow each and every year.
The local community gave a helping hand by donating many objects to the Chinese auction. Local businesses, including Scotty's and Fox's Pizza, Jill's Jungle, McCracken Pharmacy and others, donated many things to the cause, from gift certificates to herbs. Staff workers donated crafts they had made, such as a stain glass lamp and a table runner.
The craft and vendors also gave 10 percent of their earnings for the day to the cause.
According to Jeffries, even when things became a bit difficult, it all seemed to work out in the end.
"J.K. Kraich had been with us for karaoke each year, but he became ill and was not able to be there with us," said Jeffries. "But one of his good friends named John Buchanan, who was going to surprise J.K., came out and served as DJ for us."
Rolling Meadows plans to continue to have the Rock-A-Thon next year.

Keith Barry
Wednesday, 10 February 2010
We speak to Keith Barry about the death of his grandfather, Paddy Barry, who died in September of last year after his home was burgled. Paddy Barry resided alone in the Mount sion area of Waterford.
It is estimated (according to the CSO) that there are currently over 273,000 people over the age of 65 in Ireland at the moment. And with burglaries and related offence on the increase, we speak to Keith Barry about the impact of the death of his grandfather Paddy Barry. Paddy died a number of days after his home was burgled.
Keith Barry, magician
Can you describe what happened to you grandad?
Paddy was attacked in the front room of his house in the Mount Sion area of Waterford (where he has lived for 60 years) on Sept 16 2009. The attack happened between 8: pm and 10 pm at night. He sustained bleeding to the brain, severe facial injuries and a broken arm during the attack. The autopsy report has said that this happened as a result of a fall after he was burgled. But he (Paddy) dialled 999 in a clear and steady voice when he reported the burglary.
You feel there is a need for mandatory sentencing for burglary?
I really think that there should be mandatory sentencing. If these guys or the friends of these guys knew that they would get a mandatory sentence of 10 year plus for burglary, then they might stop it. The laws are there but the justice system is not being enforced properly.
What do you think of the recommendations of the law reform commission ( which would allow householders to use lethal force)?
I think that the idea of people being able to use force will not really help protect older people. If someone is breaking into your house, and you are an elderly person, you're going to be petrified and maybe the last thing that you will think about is 'taking on' that person. It will not help the elderly at all I don't think...
You have spoke to Dermott Ahern about this?
I spoke to Dermott Ahern before Christmas about what could be done in relation to protecting the elderly and he was basically saying to me, look what can I do about it, I can only look at the recommendations of the Law Reform Commission, and take it from there.
How proactive have the Government been in relation to protecting the elderly or are they failing to protect the elderly?
I don't think he has been proactive in relation to safety issues to do with the elderly. Even after Paddy was attacked, an elderly woman in Waterford was taken from her house, beaten and tied to a fence. I would say that there is many more incidents of elderly people being attacked that go unreported.
Do you think that our level of respect for older people has lessened?
I don't really know if that is true to be honest. I think that many people have respect for the elderly, but there is a minority who have been attacking the elderly.
What are the practical precautions that people should be talking to protect themselves?
Well as in happened in Paddy's case, he had all the locks and the alarm in his apartment, and yet they still broke in. I know that services are there to help older people and there are groups like Irish Rural Link, which can offer advice to older people, but I really think it is the laws that we should be looking at.
Any additional information
Figures below from the CSO
It is estimated according to the CSO that there are currently over 273,000 people over the age of 65 in Ireland at the moment.
Position of the Minister for Justice Dermott Ahern
Dermott Ahern, the Minister for Justice, has said (Jan 21st 2010) that he is 'considering' introducing mandatory sentences of attacks on the elderly.
He also said he and the Garda Commissioner are concerned by the increase in property theft and particularly the fears of elderly people, many of whom live alone.
The Minister also said he is awaiting a review of the legislation relating to the introduction of mandatory sentencing of those convicted of such crimes against the most vulnerable in society.

5 Things I did to lose weight faster and so should you
Weight loss is easier said than done but neither should be an impossible task. While it does require tons of mental and physical strength and grit there's always a few things you can do to make it easier and faster. Want to know what I did and recommend? Find out below.
While most people experience instant results in the beginning fat burning generally slows down after a while but all hope isn't lost just yet.
I switched to drop sets
A workout technique not many newbies would have heard of but I personally found droplets to be way more effective than the rest. It's simple, your workout using a higher weight till muscle failure and then continues for another 5-10 reps with a lower weight until absolute failure.
Be careful though. Overdoing it can result in instant fatigue and slower recovery. With drop sets getting your carb dosage is important to stay energized throughout. Here's more in details about drop set workouts,
I kept my diet simple
When it comes to diet for newbies it seems to turn into an obsession. Every gram of food needs to be precise. While that seems perfect your chances of succeeding with a diet plan are higher if you take it easy.
Excessive stress can lead to poor choices such binge eating etc. enough to spoil your weeks of effort. Get everything prepped up during the weekends and separate it portion wise into Tupperware boxes.
Sorted out my carb intake
On the days I train I prefer to get the entire carb dosage needed but on my off days or days when I take it easy I prefer to consume only 40-50% of the regular intake. This is useful because it prevents excessive carbs from being converted into fat on off days. Also, it gives the body enough time to adapt and grow according to the new dietary changes.
Got my omega doses sorted
Now whether you opt for it in supplement form or in dietary form is a personal choice but I am sure you've heard plenty about the benefits omega oils offer the body. It's recommended for both bodybuilders and weight loss seekers.
This is because of it, more importantly, improves general health which irrespective of your goals should remain a priority. For even better results I would suggest you combine it with CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid). For dosage contact your trainer.
I took my days off
Does taking a few days off scare the hell out of you? Worried it will ruin all the effort you've been putting in daily? Here's a golden rule about training most people tend to ignore.
Rest is as important as your workout itself.
So yes if you're not in the mood or have aches or a bruise, take the day off. For your training to be productive you need to feel fresh and stronger which happens only with good rest.

Chicago police believe they are searching for more than one killer. A relative found the victims, three men and two women, inside a home in the 7600-block of South Rhodes in Chicago's Chatham neighborhood.
Police made it clear a Thursday afternoon news conference the case is a high priority for them. It is Chicago's worst mass killing in five years.
Police are being very careful with how they proceed. They say they have uncovered a tremendous amount of evidence inside the home. At this point, however, they are not sure where that evidence is going to lead them.
Twenty-four hours after discovering the bodies of five people inside the single family home at 76th and Rhodes, police still have much of the area sealed off. Investigators say the house was thoroughly ransacked and it may have been the work of more than one person. All five of the victims' bodies were found on the first floor.
"There's a lot of damage done throughout this entire residence, on all levels of this residence. So they spent quite a bit of time in there," said Commander Eddie Welch, Chicago Police.
One of the five people inside the home, according to relatives, was 25-year-old Tony Scales of Riverdale. Those who knew him are having a hard time understanding what happened.
"They staying out of the way, all this stuff out here on the streets. No drugs, no gangs, none of that, you know. They have fun. They are young. They have fun, what they are supposed to do," said Corey Brown, victim's cousin.
Relatives of Donovan Richardson say he owned the home. They say he was a hard-working guy, with no enemies, and they say none of it makes any sense.
"Everything is tore up. See everybody dead. They looked like they was looking for money," said Terry Arrington, victim's cousin.
At least one of the female victims, according to relatives, worked as a dancer at Arnies club in Harvey. Neighbors also speculated about heavy traffic in and out of the house but police refuse to speculate about a possible motive in the case.
"There was something that was definitely planned at this time. It wasn't something that was random. No killer running in the neighborhood. This was an event that was targeted. They were targeted," said Welch.
In addition to Scales and Richardson, the medical examiner's office has identified the other three victims as well. They include Reginald Walker, Whitney Flowers and Lakesha Boss. Police say all five of the victims were friends. Police say they do believe all of them were targeted, but they don't know why or by whom.
Also, police are not sure when exactly the victims were killed. Part of the reason is because there was loud music blaring the entire through the evening up until the afternoon when they were discovered Wednesday. Police believe it is possible the loud music may have been used to mask the sound of the gunshots.

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad traveled to Cairo on Tuesday, the first visit by an Iranian leader to Egypt since the two countries broke off diplomatic relations three decades ago and a barometer of the shifts in regional dynamics underway since the start of the Arab uprisings.
Relations between the two countries have warmed since the toppling of Egypt's former president, Hosni Mubarak, who was deeply hostile to Iran's leadership and portrayed himself to his allies, including the United States, the Persian Gulf monarchies and Israel, as a bulwark against Iranian influence.
Lately, though, Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has been promoting the idea that the recent Arab revolutions were inspired by the Iranian revolution of 1979.
"Egypt is a very important country in the region and the Islamic Republic of Iran believes it is one of the heavyweights in the Middle East," Iran's foreign minister, Ali Akbar Salehi, told the state Islamic Republic News Agency in Munich on Tuesday. "We are ready to further strengthen ties."

The politically correct are more comfortable with the all inclusive "Happy Holidays," believing that this greeting will please everyone, Jews and Gentiles alike. They are wrong. If you own a store or restaurant, you would be wise to instruct your employees not to wish your customers a happy anything, lest large swaths of the American public boycott your place of business for using the wrong holiday greeting.
During the Christmas season, the average white Christian will be sent dozens of emails daily encouraging her to sign a petition or join a Facebook group related to "keeping Christ in Christmas" or reminding all that "Jesus is the reason for the season." This is the best way white Christians know to beat back the heathen hordes encroaching on their favorite time of year.
This conflict could all be avoided if everyone followed the example of 'N Sync from their Christmas album. After Gary Coleman enlists the boy band to take over for Santa on Christmas Eve, they proceed to wish us all "Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays."

The new report, which described the health benefits of various global warming mitigation strategies, including lifestyle changes, was officially endorsed during a launch event in the United Kingdom by United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and leaders of the World Health Organization, the UK Department of Health and Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, and the US Department of Health. Supreme Master Television spoke with lead author Professor Sir Andrew Haines, Director of the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine.
Professor Sir Andrew Haines – Director of London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, UK (M): You can't ignore the food and agricultural sector if you're serious about reducing greenhouse gas emissions quite dramatically, which is what we know has to be done. So we look first of all at the potential for technological change. Could it all be done just by improving technology of farming? And we concluded that that would be not sufficient.
VOICE: The report found that a 30% reduction in the number of livestock animals had the benefit of reaching 50% greenhouse gas reduction goals by 2030 and improving overall health. In particular, heart disease rates alone would be reduced by 15%, saving 18,000 lives in the UK per year from the country's #1 killer.
Sir Andrew Haines (M): Since we already consume sufficient nutritional content from the Western diet, we can quite safely reduce our saturated fat consumption by let's say, 30%.
There's many people who don't consume very much animal products and meat and other animal products, some who are purely vegetarian and vegan, and all these different dietary patterns are compatible with a healthy lifestyle.
There's many people who don't consume very much animal products and meat and other animal products, some who are purely vegetarian and vegan, and all these different dietary patterns are compatible with a healthy lifestyle.
VOICE: We thank the dedicated world scientists and The Lancet medical journal for this very important study integrating climate change and health. We also laud the British government and United Nations officials for supporting this call to global action in reducing meat production and consumption.
May world citizens enjoy the multifold benefits of a plant-based diet including longevity, vitality, and above all, a saved planetary abode. Supreme Master Ching Hai has frequently discussed the effective role of governments in reducing global warming, as in an interview published in the September 2009 edition of the British Parliament's The House Magazine.
Supreme Master Ching Hai: The government can support organic vegan farming through subsidies. They can also redirect the funds away from the meat industries and instead toward encouraging citizens to plant, to buy and to choose organic vegan food. And when they do, we will soon have a lot of healthy, happy, productive people, a restored green environment, and minimum climate mitigation costs – something all governments can look forward to and gain the enthusiastic support of all citizens.

Union of Jewish Students quits Camden for JW3 site
The Union of Jewish Students has agreed a deal to move its headquarters to the new Jewish Community Centre, JW3 in north London.
The student group will run its operations from offices on the first floor of the 10-storey residential tower at the JW3 site in Swiss Cottage.
UJS sold its offices in Camden Town earlier this month and has moved to Jewish Care's Wohl Campus in Golders Green on a temporary basis until building work is completed at JW3 in spring 2013.
Union bosses said the move was part of a strategic review of how the organisation operates and that a wider restructuring process had been based on the results of last year's national Jewish student survey.
UJS chief executive Daniel Marcus said: "We took the findings of the survey very seriously and have used them to inform the best way to provide services and resources to Jewish students."
Mr Marcus will leave his role at the end of the current academic year. There will be no like-for-like replacement, but a new role of UJS executive director will be advertised next month.

Fall Trend: Monochromatic
The list of designers who can count Gwyneth Paltrow as a fan is not very long. Gianvito Rossi, however, is one of the lucky few. The Italian footwear scion (his father is the famed Sergio Rossi) stepped onto the fashion scene in 2006, debuting his spring collection in Milan. Several seasons—and collaborations with Joseph Altuzarra—later, Rossi has found his footing. "I always like to play with lines in a modern and organic way," he says. For fall, he paid homage to Victor Vasarely's abstract artwork, with architectural booties and op-art-print heels that would look just as good in a museum as they would on the street.

Floating Dock/Pontoon/Cabin Hybrid. Please Help!?
So i have this idea for a vessel i would like to construct. First, imagine a 10' by 20' floating dock. It floats using steel or plastic drums arranged in a line and possibly attached to make two parallel pontoons. After the "dock" part is constructed, a 10' by 10' cube will be constructed on top, around 3/4 of the way back on the dock. The rest of the space in the front of the cabin will used for a mast and pirate-like (:)) steering assembly managing a rudder or two on the aft. Propulsion can be sorted later and may not even be necessary.
I would also like pointers on how and where to construct this and possible costs parameters. I am on a lake, Lake Cushman if you've heard of it, and have little dock space. The lake level will go down and provide an inclined beach where i can begin construction over the winter. The lake level will rise after winter, but it can be completed by then i believe.
Assume i have the cabin idea figured out, all i need advice on is the above stated. Thanks! Any advice is much appreciated!
I it were me, I'd use angle iron for the frame, plastic barrels and fill half of them with packing peanuts or spray in foam. That way if over time they leaked you would still have quite a bit of bouncy.
Check with the lake authorities, you may need a permit if this is going to be a floating dock. And probably just a boat permit if it's going to be a raft/pontoon boat.
Great suggestion. But why fill only half the barrels with floaty stuff? Not criticizing, just wondering.

MSOC: Pack blanks Liberty, 2-0
Posted October 23, 2013
NC State men's soccer secured a 2-0 victory over Liberty on Tuesday night at Dail Soccer Stadium behind goals from Nick Surkamp and Alex Martinez.
"We had a very complete performance tonight," said NC State head coach Kelly Findley. "We held possession for most of the first half, maybe let them into the game for a portion of the second half, but we scored a good goal and finished the game off. It's always good to post a shutout, and we were able to run several guys through, so hopefully we'll have fresh legs going forward."
Goalkeeper Fabian Otte turned in his fourth shutout of the season for the Wolfpack (5-4-4), and 12th of his career to pull into eighth on the Pack's all-time leaderboard. Otte was only forced to make one save on the evening, thanks to superb play from the Wolfpack defense.
State outshot the Flames 12-4 on the night, and earned five corners to Liberty's two. Holding a 1-0 lead, the Pack allowed just one shot over the final 45 minutes to cement the win.
Surkamp scored the first goal of the match in the 20th minute. Gbenga Makinde started the play with a cross to the right side of the Liberty (7-6) net. Ryan Metts collected the cross and fought through a defender to deliver his first assist of the year. Surkamp tapped home the pass from Metts, inside the right post.
The Wolfpack had to withstand mounting pressure during the second half as Liberty looked for an equalizer. State's back line proved up to the task, denying the Flames from generating any quality chances.
Martinez sealed the match in the 81st minute. Danny DiPrima created a turnover at midfield and slipped a through pass to Martinez up the right side. Martinez knifed his way into the Liberty box on one touch and drove his second goal of the year into the left half of the net.
The Wolfpack returns to action on Friday, October 25 at 7 p.m. when NC State hosts Virginia Tech in a pivotal Atlantic Coast Conference tilt. Streaming coverage will be provided by GoPack All-Access.

RANKINGS: Class of 2014 - 2015 - 2016
It has been a big summer for five-star shooting guard Antonio Blakeney. As he had said he would do, he has now cut his list down to a more manageable seven programs.
A 6-foot-4 shooting guard from Orlando (Fla.) Oak Ridge who ranks No. 16 overall in the class of 2016, told Rivals.com that he has cut his list.
"My final seven are Florida State, Louisville, Missouri, Kentucky, Oregon, LSU and USC," Blakeney told Rivals.com. "They are in no order."
One of the class of 2015's premier scorers, Blakeney has impressed coaches with his ability to score as jump shooter or by creating for himself off the dribble. He is an instant offense player and plays with supreme confidence.
Blakeney hasn't set his official visits just yet but that will be coming soon enough.
He heads out to the Los Angeles area this weekend to play in Adidas Nations. After that, he'll lock in dates for his official visits.

How wonderful. I love Home Exchange, been doing it for over a decade. Thank you for sharing your journey through Lyon and Paris!
More Postcards from France
Have you ever gone to a restaurant everyone raves about and found there is nothing you can imagine eating on the menu?
We've just done it in Lyon. I had great expectations of this city. Dedicated gourmands will know that gastronomically Lyon is the big banana in France; the undisputed capital of French cuisine. Not to eat well here is a cardinal sin. Well practically. Yet we managed it. "Go to a good bouchon," we were told. "Forget all those uppity, smarty 5-star restaurants, eat some real Lyonnaise food and give your stomach a treat."
I'm not going to tell you the name of the 'bouchon' we went to. Enough to say it's famous and recommended on websites, television shows and by a top French chef. Dear reader. Imagine vast platefuls of something brown, smelling not just meaty, but hairy meaty. Think cheek of pig and stomach of boar. We did our best. But despite a full house of jolly customers mopping up their gravy we struggled. I have no doubt that better food would have been provided at a five star restaurant in Lyon. But fewer laughs. Frankly, our best meal was breakfast at the charming Globe et Cecile Hotel, where, in the absence of the chef, Sandrine, the receptionist put on an apron to make our poached eggs. Delicious.
Suitably fortified we go off to visit the sights, starting with the iconic Cathédral Saint Jean-Baptiste and the famous Paul Bocuse food hall. Saint Jean-Baptiste was a medieval saint, Paul Bocuse is a hugely celebrated chef, but the air of reverence in both their establishments is identical. Gorgeous medieval stained glass rose window in 15th century cathedral, gorgeous 21st century raspberry tart with not so much as a berry out of place in the other.
Of course everything is for sale at Les Halles de Lyon and the traders do great business, but really this is museum of cuisine. Light as air pastries, croissants and bread from Le Boulanger de L'isle de Barbe, Saint Marcellin Cheese from Mère Richard, succulent oysters and champagne at Chez Leon, speciality spices, herbs, olives, jams and honey from around the globe at Bahadourian, sorbet, ice-cream that just slides down the throat, macarons and chocolate from Chocolats Richart. Butchery is seen as an art form here, and good butchers on a par with Michaelangelo. A piece of beef is loving laid out for your inspection as if its the Bayeaux tapestry. There are rumours of foie gras macaroons, but perhaps they are only a rumour.
As our train slides out of Lyon I wonder if this city, with its awesome reputation, is one that you have to get to know properly before you can appreciate it. Maybe living like a local in Lyon would be a whole new experience.
We only have one day in Paris and I am sorely tempted to spend it on the Left Bank. But haunted by the impressionists' France we've seen from our train window I feel we must instead salute the father of the movement, Claude Monet and visit his garden in Giverny, just a 45-minute train journey away.
Monet himself referred to his garden as 'a jungle of colour' and so it is. Despite using his artist's eye to create living canvases, nature has its own ideas. Underneath is secret mayhem as weed battles weed; branches push their way into the light and tough little plants that are not tough enough are chewed up and spat out by greedy nasties that plague even the most professional gardens. Yet, the sum of the whole is so much more beautiful than anything that man, or even artist, could create on their own.
Wandering around the banks of Monet's lily ponds, with the changing light playing havoc with every view, you can understand the artist's frustration trying to capture it on a canvas. I am told that he would instruct underlings to carry six or seven canvases to him so he could paint several at once. Unsurprisingly, there are now literally hundreds of canvases by Monet of Water lilies.
We're going home on the Eurostar train and how different from the south are my postcards from Normandy; misty grey skies, a line of slim trees, like soldiers, standing to attention in their khaki uniforms. The fields are sliced into neat sections of murky yellow, murky green, murky brown. Hard to believe that Giverny with its jungle of colour is in Normandy. Another Normandy on another day.
I don't care how world-weary and sophisticated you are, there is something heartwarmingly 21st century about speeding under the channel for a mere twenty minutes before emerging, dry as a bone on British soil. Shakespeare saw this small, damp island as ' a fortress built by nature for herself against infection and the hand of war.' That fortress has now joined hands with Europe and the entire continent is accessible to us, by train, in 20 minutes. That has to be cause for celebration.

• Take a ticket to ride in the tourist bus around the city.
• Check out the fabulous Halles de Lyon of Paul Bocuse
• Check out the Museum of Fine Arts
• Try Vieux Lyon for atmosphere, bistro food.
• Look in awe at the Cathedral St Jean-Baptiste. A 15th century masterpiece and UNESCO heritage site.
• Don't miss the traboules, or tunnel ways. They wander about Lyon, even through houses.
The whole village revolves around Monet's garden. Boutiques and bistros have sprung up, as have gift shops and galleries. There are also some charming hotels. Take at least a full day day or even two to take it all in. The experience expands understanding and appreciation, not only of Monet, but the entire impressionist movement. There is also much to learn about gardening.

The future economic viability of South Australia is dependent on four new transport infrastructure projects, the South Australian Freight Council (SAFC) says.
In a report released on Monday the council also urges the state government to introduce toll roads to fund vital projects that are expected to cost up to $5.5 billion.
However, the state government has rejected the toll road proposal and said it would not happen under its watch.
Transport Minister
"The government remains committed to investing in economic-lifting infrastructure," Mr Conlon said.
"The soon to be released update of the State Infrastructure Plan 2012-2025+ will set budget priorities for projects to be funded when revenues return."
SAFC chief executive Neil Murphy said "tough decisions" need to be made now by the state government before it "is too late".
"The time has come for both the state and Commonwealth governments, and where appropriate the private sector, to increase their investment in this state's freight and logistics infrastructure – creating jobs during the construction phase and longer-term wealth creation and sustainability for businesses and the community," he said.
Mr Murphy said toll roads were an option to speed up the delivery of the infrastructure and were very much accepted in the eastern states.
The report calls for an improved "free flowing north-south corridor", an accelerated road maintenance program for state roads to alleviate a maintenance deficit, and transport infrastructure to support the expanding mining industry, including the development of key deepwater ports and road and rail links to service the mining sector
It also recommends critical upgrades and access improvements, as well as the creation of more rest facilities for heavy vehicles on high productivity vehicle routes.

People's power is true democracy. And the voter is king. For the couple of months that I have been here in Goa, and from interactions with activists and urban villagers, Goans stand apart. Their sentiments are very strong. They have a say in the way they are governed. And their political leaders bow to them. There have been many instances to support this argument.
The latest is the protests of the Curchorem residents led by Ghanv Rakhon Jagrut Manch marching to chief minister Digambar Kamat's residence in Margao demanding the scrapping of the proposal to expand the highway that connects the mining belt to Mormugao port to four-lane for transportation of iron ore, mainly being exported to Japan and China. The state highway connects Sanvordem and Curchorem in the Quepem-Sanguem talukas in Goa. The locals instead want the government to expedite land acquisition proceedings for the proposed 19km Uguem-Capxem mining bypass, which can connect to the Zuari river from where the iron ore could be transported by barges to Mormugao port.
Their reasoning is that the highway is already highly polluted and many accidents take place on the road. They do not want mixing up of mining trucks on the road and more traffic.
The CM immediately called a representative team of the protesters for dialogue to his official residence in Panaji and assured the residents that the government would pursue the bypass and keep the four-lane road expansion in abeyance.
Such responsiveness to people's demands rarely happens in India, where chief ministers are not accessible to their people. And most assurances are made only to be broken. The janata darshans in most state capitals are farcical exercises just to gain some publicity.
Residents of various villages in Goa have been protesting and taking out morchas demanding various things on the same issue and the government gives all groups a patient hearing.
These are not the only issues on which one is basing an argument about true democracy being practised in Goa. There have been many occasions when people have directly called up the chief minister or ministers concerned to get their grievances addressed. On several occasions, the CM and the ministers have got calls on their mobile phones even at midnight telling them that their locality does not have power supply. The political rulers have acted on such complaints immediately and got power restored to the localities. During a chat, Digambar Kamat argued that there may be several problems of the people. Their children may be studying for an exam, or somebody in the house may be ill. "How do you expect the children to study for their exams if there are power cuts?" he said.
Do other CMs think like that? Can people even get through the offices of chief ministers? Goa may be a small state, but the fact that the CM is accessible to the people on a cellphone in the middle of the night augurs well for society.
On one occasion, a state transport bus broke down past midnight between Belgaum (in Karnataka) and Margao (in Goa). The bus passengers tried contacting officials to get help from the middle of the dense ghat section. Luckily, one of them had the mobile number of the Goa CM and he decided to call him for help. The state government immediately swung into action making arrangements for an alternative bus from Belgaum to reach the spot and pick up the harassed passengers.
Another minister, Atanasio 'Babush' Monserrate goes out of the way to protect his voters. There was one incidence that a driver of a cab agency told me. When he was driving on the highway, another vehicle, a two-wheeler, crashed into the travel agency car.
There was a crowd immediately around and arguments started. Babush, as he is popularly known in Goa, happened to witness the accident. The minister got off his car, went up to the cab driver and told him that the two-wheeler rider involved in the accident was his voter and hence he (the minister) would pay up whatever was the cost of damage to the travel agency vehicle. "Just leave him alone and don't trouble him. Bring me the bill and collect the money," Babush is said to have told the driver. The bill came to Rs 21,000.
So the driver after getting the damage repaired went to Babush with the bill, and the minister without asking any questions gave the cash. And so does another minister Churchill Alemao, who goes to any extent in south Goa to protect his voters.
People across communities give credit to the work done by opposition leader and former chief minister Manohar Parrikar of the BJP in Panaji constituency. "Parrikar does not spend money like some of the other ministers do from his pocket, but the work he has done shows in Panaji," say most Goans. Go Goa, people's power is supreme.

LOS ANGELES — American Idol said g'day to Michael Johns.
The Australian-born singer was eliminated Thursday from Fox's popular singing competition as the contest was narrowed down to seven finalists after Wednesday's "Idol Gives Back" charity event.
The dismissal came as a surprise to many since no contestants were evicted after last year's special Idol fundraiser.
Johns, 29, sang Aerosmith's Dream On during Tuesday's inspirational-themed performance show. Simon Cowell and Randy Jackson didn't think the song choice suited Johns, although Paula Abdul thought the selection was perfect.
Johns, who now lives in Los Angeles, had never been in the show's bottom three.
Carly Smithson and Syesha Mercado were the other lowest vote-getters.
Before the elimination, host Ryan Seacrest told the audience that "Idol Gives Back" brought in more than $60-million thus far and reminded viewers that donations were still being accepted. Last year, $76-million was raised for underprivileged children. Idol executive producer Nigel Lythgoe has earlier anticipated this year's total at $100-million.
Ratings were significantly down for "Idol Gives Back." Despite being the top-rated show Wednesday, 17.5 million viewers tuned into the second "Idol Give Back" special, down from last year when 26.9 million viewers watched, according to Nielsen Media Research.

WASHINGTON –Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid issued the following statement after a district court overturned a rule issued by the National Labor Relations Board, which gives employees the same bargaining tools that CEOs possess. The court overturned the rule because it believed there was not a sufficient quorum after the board's Republican member, Brian Hayes, did not vote:
"The ruling by the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia encourages politically motivated behavior by board members with a partisan agenda. A board member has the right to voice disapproval of a rule by voting 'no,' but a single member should not be allowed to derail the entire process by refusing to vote at all. The Board had a quorum, and they acted appropriately to protect the rights of working Americans. I hope the board takes steps to ensure the rule is preserved.
"It is encouraging that the court took no issue with the merits of the rule, which was recently upheld by a bipartisan Senate vote. I am confident these merits will be reaffirmed in future court actions."

Doting daddy!
Actor Chris Hemsworth carefully cradled his 2-month-old daughter India Rose today as he and his wife Elsa Pataky left a lunch date with friends at Santa Monica, California eatery Kafe K (July 12).
The handsome Thor star certainly seems to be a very hands-on dad. We often see him toting baby India when the happy family are out and about.
Shortly after his daughter's birth Chris gushed of fatherhood, "I've wanted to have kids for a long time, and here it is, and I couldn't be happier… It's amazing, it's really, really exciting."

A SURPRISINGLY calm Mark Neeld pulled up a chair and sat in front of his players in the coaches' room, moments after being heckled off the MCG.
He chose not to pace up and back and rant at the forlorn figures in front of him, instead making it a discussion.
"You need to be really careful with immediate post-match discussions," he said.
"They can be quite emotive, but the reason we did that is we believe they needed to listen most importantly and then deliver to us things that needed to be said."
Neeld said his piece, basing it generally on bigger-picture plans and specifically on the work rate of the previous two hours.
Skipper Jack Grimes spoke, then Nathan Jones, Mitch Clark and, finally, first-gamer Jack Viney.
The players weren't invited to speak - they invited themselves.
"I pointed out what we didn't see is what we have been seeing at training," Neeld said.
"I was pleased those guys spoke.
They are the natural leaders within the group.
I was really interested to see the reaction from the other players as to whether they were listening, what they were taking in.
"They were listening and that's a good sign. But the biggest challenge is actions, and we talked about that a lot.
"One of the key messages was we know it's hard, we know the position the club is in. It's not too often you have to rebuild and there's a million reasons why we are here, but that's our job.
"And unless you are on the inside and seeing it day to day no one will believe there has been improvement.
"And that's OK, because we've got nothing to offer on performance day - yet.
"And the thing they all reinforced was how hard they've trained over the past 12 months and that guys with good character don't let that slip."
YOU just knew it would be vicious and it was.
From Wayne Carey, from Garry Lyon, from Paul Roos to talkback radio and Twitter, the Demons were pulverised.
Weak. Pathetic. Soft.
They can't play. He can't coach. The game plan was confusing, the coach had lost the players and the players were sooking in response.
Neeld said he has a strong armour.
"The criticism is going to come with the job," he said
"A lot of the people who make the criticisms don't have all the information.
"It doesn't matter how big the names are, unless they see what happens day to day, they don't know everything.
"But we're not going to shy away ... that was a below-par performance.
"But it is one game of 22 in the second year of a rebuild, and we're going to do as much as we can to make sure that doesn't put us back."
Neeld said he hasn't read a newspaper, listened to the radio or watched any of the footy programs on TV.
"When I got home, I wasn't ready to do the review straight away, which is abnormal," he said.
"And the reason I wasn't ready is because that natural competitive nature that we talk about all the time wasn't there and I was really disappointed."
"Not really. If there is a coach who lets themselves fume inside for too long, you're not going to make the correct decisions for the club, which is a bad call," he said.
He watched Collingwood-North Melbourne - "It was a completely different game," he said, "almost like a completely different sport."
The performance didn't jolt him, nor was it a situation of a disconnect between the coach and the players.
"It's a hard road we've chosen, but it's the one we're on.
The confidence I get is from what I see every day. I haven't got a crystal ball, I don't know how long that turns into performance, but I know that's the hardest step to take."
ON Sunday morning Neeld hit the pavement because, his wife said, he had eaten too much Easter chocolate.
The coaching group gathered about midday.
Each coach reviewed and tagged and cut and listed pros and cons from their specific areas.
Then it was across the road to watch Geelong and Hawthorn.
"There were lots of learnings for us," Neeld said.
"It was good to watch without being in the game.
"Right now, we will never lament that we don't have a Sam Mitchell or (Joel) Selwood - we need to develop them.
"I don't know how many times you sit in the box and watch the TV and when someone is kicking for a goal, up flashes the name, 27 years, 170 games.
"I will use Liam Shiels as an example. He's having a shot for goal and he's played so many games, but he's played more games than our two captains.
"Look at Mitchell. Our job is to develop (Jack) Grimes into that over time. Different player but play in the same area of the ground."
Neeld sat with defensive coach Jade Rawlings for a quarter andmonitored the Geelong defensive group, which includes Harry Taylor, Tom Lonergan, Corey Enright and Andrew Mackie.
"Our job is to try to develop Watts into that, and Col Garland down those lines," Neeld said.
MONDAY was a day of individual discussions with almost half the team.
One in particular left its mark.
It was with first-gamer Jimmy Toumpas, and showed Neeld the depth of feeling and the want to succeed.
"I just wanted to know what he thought about AFL footy," Neeld laughed.
"He was hilarious. I said, 'S---, what did you think?' He's a good kid. He was devastated. And this is where you get a reality check.
"He thought he had let down the entire Greek community.
"I said, 'Jimmy, you've just debuted in something you've always wanted to do, I think you've made the entire Greek community proud'.
"He asked what I was thinking, and I said, 'You're playing against Essendon, this is where you're going to play, have you got any questions?' "
Neeld also spoke to Viney.
"I said, 'Jack, what have you got for me?' He says, 'Right, I've spoken to Jonesy this morning and what we're going to do in the centre bounce against (Bomber Paddy) Ryder is this, we're going try this ...
"I said, 'Jack, that's OK, but how did you recover, how's the body?'
"He said, "Mate, don't worry about that, that's sorted, this is what I reckon we should do this week'.
"They are the future of our footy club."
It's about the journey of being ready to play AFL which leads to the game review, which centres on work ethic.
Not so long ago you could tell a player he didn't work hard.
Today you can tell them they didn't work hard and thrust GPS data at them.
"It was interesting to sit down with the players and look at their vision, but also pull out numbers to show how they worked during the game compared to when they trained - and they were very different," Neeld said.
Neeld used 10 to 12 clips from the Port Adelaide game to highlight the lack of work ethic, and used the data to compare their training workloads to Sunday's workloads.
10 things wrong with Melbourne
"We were able to draw the parallel from training," he said.
"For example, there's your result from January 15 and you ran that far, that quick, that many times and that hard. And look at what you did on Sunday."
One clip was of defender James Frawley.
"He's as honest as the day is long, and we said, 'Chipper, what happened here?'
"He said, 'I can remember that and I thought I was going quick. I felt like I was going quick. But looking at that, I wasn't going quick'.
"I said, 'Chipper, you weren't'.
"Those were the sort of talks we had."
IT'S a tricky one for Neeld.
Pedersen, in his first game and in a non-threatening environment, ducked his head as he went for a mark in the middle of the MCG.
Neeld knows every player has done that at some stage, and tells Pedersen so.
He also tells Pedersen that it can't happen again.
Neeld won't say if Pedersen is in the team or out.
They spoke Tuesday morning.
"He said he wasn't great," Neeld said.
"I could imagine how he was feeling. Most footballers have done an act they thought they could have gone stronger in.
"And I told him, he needed to grow stronger, but here is how we are going to help you through it.
"On the training track this week and every other week we will put you in that position to make sure you watch the football into your hands, and we will bump you, and you need to keep watching the ball into your hands. And as each week goes, the body contact will get harder.
"Your end of the bargain is to eradicate that from your game. I gave him other examples of players that the world knows did it, but they've got it out of their game. That's the way I handled it.
"I told him I can't guarantee you will play this week, nor can I say if you're out of the side, but whatever happens we won't shy away from our role to educate you.
"The reality is Cam Pedersen has played 17 games of AFL football ... and we won't abandon him."
SOMETIMES you throw the challenge at the same group and don't make changes.
Other times the performance is so unacceptable changes are needed.
Neeld is a latter-type coach. He will make four changes, and will only say that Lynden Dunn is out with a hamstring strain.
Into the side will come skipper Jack Trengove, Tom McDonald, debutant Dean Terlich, a running half-back, and one other.
"We have to get balance," Neeld said.
"And within that there are roles that have to be played. There were a couple of cases where players knew exactly what their role was, and we saw none of it."
There was also the lack of application, and that always carries a penalty.
"The penalty for that is you won't be playing AFL football this week," he said.
ONE question being asked: is Neeld over-coaching, over-complicating the manner in which they play?
He laughed at the question.
No, he's not a Mick Malthouse clone who hugs the boundary.
No, not one player has told him in the past 18 months he doesn't understand what the coach is saying.
No, he doesn't have a zone defence, which it looked like on Sunday.
And, yes, he wants attacking football.
"You have to ask the players if I over-complicate things," he said.
"No one has ever told me they are confused.
"I hate kicking down the line, it's slow and boring. Just get it going.
"The person with the ball is the most important person on the ground."

357 Mag: Is 158 grain easier on the ears?
I've been reading various threads about the potential damage that 357 magnum can put on the ears. Seems there's a common theme that the high velocity of the 125 grain bullet is of particular concern. Since the 158 grain is heavier and therefore slower, does it follow that the 158 grain will not be as hard on the ears? Will there be enough difference to matter, as it relates to hearing damage?
Also, how much does the barrel length play into this issue. I have both a 2 1/2" and a 4" 357 magnum. Will that 1.5" difference have any meaningful impact on hearing damage?

A few years back some students from the University of Memphis came out to the range with their professor doing some audio study concerning gunblast and hearing loss. They had a device that looked like a GI canteen that took readings of decibels of different gun blasts. They picked me as their subject and tested right at my ear protection and took readings from my .357 Magnum, .44 Magnum, and .45 Colt. Much to my surprise, there was not a great deal of difference in the readings. I don't remember any of the readings except that all appeared very close numerically.
What I had perceived to be sharp muzzle blasts was actually concussion. That does vary considerably.

It won't matter much, you SHOULD be wearing ear protection!..
If your talking about a SD scenario, it won't make a noticable difference.

Yes, I'm referring to self-defense situations.
I always wear hearing protection at the range.
But, I've read horror stories about guys losing their hearing from shooting 357mag indoors, etc. Just wondering if carrying 158 grain instead of 125 will make any difference.

Yeah, I'm currently carrying Buffalo Bore Tactical 158 grain in my 2.5". Tim Sundles claims there is reduced blast and effect on the ears with these "tacticals", but I still wonder about it.
And I recently purchased a 4" S&W Model 627, and carry Gold Dot 125 grain in it. The hearing discussion is making me have second thoughts on that, although I really like the performance I've seen in gel tests.
I know I can use 38+P or mild 357, but for me, one of the main reasons to carry the 357 is for the high-end velocity/effectiveness. But now I'm
wondering if I should worry about the ears if I ever had to use it.
Was hoping maybe I could go with 158 grain, if that would help save the ears. I just don't know how to judge that. If the higher weight and lower velocity really won't make that much difference, probably will just stay with the 125 grain Gold Dots in the 4".

I don't think it will make enough difference to matter. .357 is enough to damage hearing, permanently. I don't know if it is worse inside a room, but I can tell you from personal experience that it SEEMS worse.
And, if the only time you shoot without hearing protection is in gravest extreme, you will recover most of your hearing, eventually.
All else being equal (and it almost never is) bigger bullets tend to work better.

I was shooting .357mags back in the days when hardly anyone wore hearing protection. Indoor and outdoor.
There is little discernable difference between 125gr. and 158gr.. Not enough to matter anyway.
Good idea to wear protection if you want to keep your hearing intact.

I don't know how they compare in decibels, but my own subjective impression is that the 158gr .357's seem to have a very different pitch to them than the lighter, faster 125's. The 158's seem to have more of a deep "boom" not unlike a larger-bore such as .41 or .44 Magnum. The 125's, on the other hand, have a sharper "crack" more like a centerfire rifle. While both undoubtedly are loud enough to cause permanent hearing damage (just about any handgun from .22 Long Rifle up will cause hearing damage), the 158's are much more pleasant for me to shoot even with hearing protection.

Different poweders also sound different in the same gun. As an example Unique goes off with a pow and 2400 gives more of a boom.

I'm not sure that it really matters that much, 125G vs 158g is still going to hurt like hell in a confined space with no ear protection. But if its between my ears and my life, I guess I'll choose life.

Longer barrels seem to help in the .357. To help further I've gone to a 173 grain cast in the .357 for my top-end loads, but I have to admit that the slight reduction in velocity didn't seem to help as much as I had hoped. The really fast .357 loads with 110 and 125 grain bullets make me want to check after I've shot one of them to see if blood is not running out of my ears.

I have shot a few 230 grain bowling pin bullets from my 357 magnum and they are pretty quiet but they are subsonic in everything (even the carbines).
I doubt the human ear can tell the difference in a 125 grain and a 158 grain bullet when both are loaded even moderately warm or better. I have loaded some 100 grain lead bullets over small amounts of trail boss and I would guess those are all most hearing safe but I would not want to use one to stop any thing bigger than a raging chipmunk.
My Marlin is much quieter than my revolvers or my Coonan. I think the long barrel helps.
Shot placement is everything! I would rather take a round of 50BMG to the foot than a 22short to the base of the skull.
all 26 of my guns are 45/70 govt, 357 mag, 22 or 12 ga... I believe in keeping it simple. Wish my wife did as well...

The cartridge generates noise well above the level to have the capacity to permanently damage one's hearing, regardless the circumstances.
One might recover from such acoustic trauma. Then again, one might not.
You cannot make the assertion "you will recover most of your hearing." There's absolutely no way to know that.
I've read of people who keep their electronic muffs by their HD weapon. If they have time, etc, they put the muffs on. Doesn't sound like bad advice.

In this case, easier is a relative term. Kinda like asking, is crashing into a wall with you car at 80 mph easier on you than hitting it it @ 100?
Any powder fired handgun is hard on your ears and will produce damage. Even the lowly .22, shooting subsonic rounds, especially in an enclosed area. For SD, one needs to pick the ammo that has proven most accurate, most reliable and that one has the most confidence with, outta the intended firearm. Hearing aids are still cheaper than funerals.

Nothing can make the .357 quiet, but you can make it somewhat less offensive when shooting at the range. Try this. When reloading use heavy bullets (like 158s) loaded to subsonic speeds (roughly under 1100 fps) using fast burning powders (like Unique).
A longer barrel will help as well.
Still loud, but not like the blast of a screaming self-defense 125 pushed by slow burning powder.

357 158 grain vs 9mm 124 grain?
I'm the original OP.
So, a number of opinions on this hearing-damage issue seem to be saying that it's the high velocity of 357 magnum that is damaging to the ears.
Well, 9mm 124 +P might typically be around 1250 fps.
357 magnum 158 grain might be around 1200 or so.
Shouldn't this mean that 9mm 125 +P is harder on the ears, or roughly the same, as 158 grain 357 magnum? I don't hear (no pun intended) much fussing about the horrible hearing damage from the 9mm, so why the concern about the 357, at least for the 158 grain?
What am I missing here?

I'm no expert on these things, but I "think" there are two main "ingredients" in muzzle blast:
1. When the bullet breaks the sound barrier...roughly 1150 fps at sea level; and
2. When unburned/still burning powder is still rapidly expanding as it leaves the muzzle.
This is why in my previous post I suggested slower bullets and faster powder.
I believe it is mainly this second reason that gives the .357 its notorious ear-splitting blast and is easily replicated when handloading. A load of H-110 is FAR louder than a load of Unique.
9mm cartridges are typically loaded with faster burning powders than factory .357s. Therefore, even though the bullets are theoretically moving at the same velocity, and should have similar levels of sonic boom, the revolver round is still "exploding" as it leaves the muzzle. That's the source of your sinus clearing blast.
I'm sure this explanation is both incomplete and partially incorrect, so hopefully others with far more knowledge will be along shortly.

In a SD situation, the adrenaline will be flowing and it does tend to cancel out noise.
Some don't even recall pulling the trigger, let alone remembering the noise.

Cylinder gap also plays a big role. Revolvers usually seem louder than autos for this reason.

About supersonic bullet speeds...I don't think they play a huge part in increased sound level.
The "crack" you hear from supersonic rounds is relatively subtle compared to the powder blast. Sonic "booms" are from objects creating sound as they break the sonic barrier; due to the speed, sound is multiplied as sound created over a longer period arrives at the ear at the same time. The original sonic boom was from aircraft, making a lot of noise.
But a bullet traveling through the air doesn't create nearly the sound volume of the powder blast (or a jet aircraft)...so while supersonic shots (from a distance) are unique and heard as a crack in addition to the boom of the powder blast, up close it is basically drowned out by the powder blast.

Wear hearing protection when shooting especially handguns. As far as SD situations, you do the best you can but I would not be fumbling around looking for my muffs if I had a home intruder. I keep my Ruger GP-100 loaded with 38spl +P's at home.

Pacific gets insurance, puts dissolution or annexation on hold
The City of Pacific got a last minute reprieve on Wednesday with the City Council voting to accept an offer of insurance coverage for 2013.
The new policy will provide about half the coverage of the new insurance and cost more money, but it will stave off the possibility of the city having to annex into Auburn or cease to exist.
"You need liability insurance to operate the city, the employees need to have some sort of liability coverage, coverage on all the vehicles, coverage for anyone that may get hurt," Council President Leanne Guier told King 5 News.
The city was informed in July that it's previous policy with the Cities Insurance Association of Washington would be cancelled on Dec. 31 if "swift, concrete and verifiable deeds to bring a more stable and professional environment to the City of Pacific" were not made.
At the time of the notice the city was without any major department heads, all of whom had either resigned or been fired by controversial Mayor Cy Sun.
Although the city began to fill vacancies after Sun was ordered by a Pierce County Superior Court judge to hire new personnel, a plea to the CIAW to extend coverage for Pacific was denied.
Facing operating without liability insurance – which would leave city employees, elected officials and police officers personally liable – the council drafted resolutions to either annex into Auburn or put a vote to dissolve the city before residents.
Both resolutions were permanently tabled by the council on Wednesday after the vote to accept the new policy.
The city's new policy provides $5 million in coverage, about half the previous policy, and at a higher cost.
Pacific is currently facing nearly $10 million in lawsuits filed by former employees.
After being absent from the previous two meetings regarding annexation and dissolution, Sun was in attendance and defiant at Wednesday's meeting.
"You people want to vote me out, go ahead and do it," he told the audience.
"...by golly I'm staying in and I'm doing exactly what the people voted me in for," he added.
Many blame Sun's confrontational leadership style for the 103-year-old city's woes, including the Committee to Recall Cy Sun, who have mounted a campaign to put a recall vote before the people.
Currently the recall effort is raising money to pay their lawyers so the case can be considered by the Washington State Supreme Court. A previous decision by the King County Superior Court ruling there was sufficient cause for recall was appealed by Sun.
A recall vote could come as early as April.

WASHINGTON • The White House and its allies are weighing military options to secure Syria's chemical and biological weapons, after U.S. intelligence reports show the Syrian regime may be readying those weapons and may be desperate enough to use them, U.S. officials said Monday.
President Barack Obama, in a speech at the National Defense University on Monday, pointedly warned Syrian President Bashar Assad not to use the weapons.
"Today I want to make it absolutely clear to Assad and those under his command: The world is watching," Obama said. "The use of chemical weapons is and would be totally unacceptable. And if you make the tragic mistake of using these weapons, there will be consequences and you will be held accountable."

: Clarifying conditioner
Going to try V05 Tea Therapy Clarifying Conditioner in Vanilla Mint Tea. It was $.99 at Giant Eagle, didn't smell half bad, and in some non-evidence based practice part of my mind I'm hoping "clarifying conditioner" means "get rid of the funky not quite greasy dirty cant describe it feel" that my hair has as I go through the transitional phase of becoming curly girl. We shall see.
2b/2c, Med density, Med Porosity, Fine/Med width, Med length, layers start below ears. Just my shot in the dark for my hair properties. Growing out bleached highlights Fall 2012, growing out dyed hair March 2013. Makes for a confusing mix of properties. Learning how different processes affect hair properties. Using lot of drugstore products right now. Determining what's right for my hair in my climate. Pittsburgh has a little bit of everything weather wise. Modified CGM since March 2013.

what more can i do to help?!
Living in ct is hard. The taxes are high the laws are tight and jobs are scarse. With maloy changing laws every day how do i stop it. I write my letter make my calls but nothing is making a difference. Moving out of the state is not an option right now. How do i fight back. They are here to serve us not the other way around. How do i get them to see this? Who can help we need to change this!!
Unfortunately the only thing you can do is move
You live in.... and can't move.
I suggest starting right here at the FTF by stopping by the "State by State" subforums. Introduce yourself and start asking about a local based firearms ownership and/or shooting organization. Attend some meetings... Make more friends. Form a reisitance alliance to the current political climate. Start organizing protests... In the meantime, keep writing, keep emailing, keep calling. Make yourself a pain-in-the-@$$ pebble in their SHOE.... Help in the elections for pro-2a candidates and try like HELL to get these bums out!!
THEN join or donate to the NRA, Gun Owners of American, the NSSF, the JPFO... ALL of the above!!! .... Never just shruge and say "Oh well"... That way they win!!

pseudo latin phrase "nil bastardum carborundum" - but probably more correctly "illegitimi nil carborundum" - don' let the bastards wear you down. :o
Good times!! Good times!! :D
What can you do?
I try to educate people about politics. I finally turned my mom against Democrats. I have helped others to see the light also.
I hear your pain I am in CA I hope to retire in 3 to 5 years hope I can survive it
I want to thank every one for the input. Im going to see who i can find in my area. Join a few shooting clubs and see if we cant make a difference. I already donate what ican to the nra i believe that it makes a difference. After reading the revised gun laws that maloy change it finaly made me thing there is no hope. He changes things in the middle of the night and at his discression. Now i know when elections come around no way in hell, even in jesus him self told me to vote for maloy its not happening!!! I just was hoping that some day it changes. The goverment was started as a public service and now it seems that we are the goverments servents. Idk all i can say is that as long as theres a breath in my lungs, a beat in my heart and the red white and blue behind me i wont give up.
