Problem unpacking .7z files to .iso files
Okay, so I have three .7z packages, when I unpack them one by one, I get 3 .iso files, which I can't open. When I double click the .iso file, like I do with any .iso, it won't mount, instead I get this:
(Yeah, Final Fantasy, but don't worry, I have the original CD's, BUT, the second one is damaged and my PSX can't read it any more, I suppose this is not illegal as I have the originals in my possession? If it is, I'm sorry and this topic can be closed!) Can anyone help me with this? I figure it's not possible that all the packages are corrupted/damaged?? |

Because ISOs disk image files and are not mountable in OS X. You need to burn it to a CD and then run it from the burnt disc.

doesn't disk utility let you mount and burn .iso images?
if not, toast or similar will do the job of making discs from your iso's. If you can get them onto a windows box somehow, nero will do the job. The Unarchiver (in the applications folder on 10.4.11, don't know about earlier) will handle 7zips just fine... Last edited by Captain Pyro; Aug 21, 2008 at 03:11 PM.

THEN I have a second "case", I have this ISO that gives me this error when trying to open it: I have burnt the ISO file (see picture one for details), see picture two for the CD, and picture three for the mounted ISO. Picture One: Picture Two: Picture Three: As you can see, the ISO is a rather big size, yet when mounted or burnt, it doesn't contain a single file... See the twee pictures below: I have absolutely no idea what the problem might be... |

right back at the beginning, you said that the original of this disc was not readable by your psx. Do i understand this to mean that it's not a mac disc image you're trying to mount? Surely if that is the case, then all you want to do is burn it in a hurry and get back to playing FF on your psx?
I could try and mount an image of, say, visual studio pro 2008 for xp on my mac, but i wouldn't expect to be able to do much useful with once it was mounted, ISO files are just 1:1 copies of the original disc- format, filesystem, lead in, the lot. I know I can burn ISOs of windows software using DiskUtilities, as I've made backups this way myself. ? Maybe the decompacted archives are corrupt if the disc is damaged and that is why they are unmountable? just a (bad) thought. |

All Julie Wiener, All the TimeJulie Wiener, our prolific friend at The (New York) Jewish Week, has a new column in today's paper that marks her 10-year anniversary in the Jewish media. One of the interesting points she tackles is whether or not her column promotes intermarriage? We receive that question–and that criticism–regularly as well, and the answer is complex. Wiener answers it ably:
What I like most about her piece reflecting on her experience in the Jewish media and her shorter experience as a columnist on intermarriage is that it doesn't play the role of the righteous victim. She points out ways in which the Jewish community could be more welcoming to interfaith families, but also acknowledges when it's doing a good job. That seems like a pretty fair approach to me.

We vets call it storm phobia. You call it your worst nightmare. Either way, we all want the same thing: A calmer dog who doesn't have to suffer the psychological damage done by booming thunder, wicked lightning and plummeting barometric pressures.
And it's not just their psyche at risk. We all know that dogs are capable of doing serious damage to themselves during stormy times of the year. Fractured claws, lacerations, broken teeth and bruises are but a few consequences. I've even seen broken limbs and witnessed one dramatic case of deadly hit-by-car when a neighbor's dog ran wildly into the street (so you know, they do this...thinking they're fleeing the storm).
So how do you handle thunderstorm phobia? I put the question to Dr. Lisa Radosta, my favorite board certified veterinary behaviorist at Coral Springs Animal Hospital in South Florida. Here are her tips:
1. Handle it early on in your dog's life
Does your dog merely quake and quiver under the bed when it storms outside? Just because he doesn't absolutely freak, doesn't mean he's not suffering. Since storm phobia is considered a progressive behavioral disease, signs like this should not be ignored. Each successive thunderstorm season is likely to bring out ever-worsening signs of fear. It's time to take action...NOW!
2. Don't heed advice to let her "sweat it out" or not to "baby" her
I've heard many pet owners explain that they don't offer any consolation to their pets because they don't want to reinforce the "negative behavior" brought on by a thunderstorm. But a severe thunderstorm is no time to tell your dog to "buck up and get strong." Fears like this are irrational (after all, she's safe indoors). Your dog won't get it when you punish her for freaking out. Indeed, it'll likely make her anxiety worse. Providing a positive or distracting stimulus is more likely to calm her down.
3. Offer treats, cuddlings and other good stuff when storms happen
This method is best employed before the phobia sets in––as pups. Associating loud booms with treats is never a bad thing, right?
4. Let him hide...in a crate
Hiding (as in a cave) is a natural psychological defense for dogs. Getting them used to a crate as pups has a tremendous influence on how comfortable they are when things scare them. Having a go-to place for relaxing or hiding away is an excellent approach, no matter what the fear. Another approach to try, whether he's a pup or not.
5. Get him away from the noise...and compete with it
Creating a comfy place (for the crate or elsewhere) in a room that's enclosed (like a closet or bathroom) may help a great deal. Adding in a loud radio or white noise machine can help, too. Or how about soothing, dog-calming music? Not only does this approach muffle sounds, it also means pets can avoid the...
5. Electromagnetism
Though it may sound like Voo-doo, your dog can also become sensitized to the electromagnetic radiation caused by lightning strikes. One great way to shield your dog from these potentially fear-provoking waves is to cover her crate with a double layer of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Another method involves clothing her in a commercially available "Storm Defender" cape that does the same work. If she hides under the bed, consider slipping a layer of aluminum fold between the box-spring and mattress.
6. Desensitize him
Sometimes it's possible to allay the fears by using thunderstorm sound CDs when it's not raging outside. Play it at a low volume while plying him with positive stimuli (like treats and pettings). Increase the volume all the while, getting to those uncomfortable booming sounds over a period of weeks. It works well for some.
7. Ask your veterinarian about drugs
Sure, there's nothing so unsavory as the need for drugs to relieve dogs of their fears, but recognize that some fears will not be amenable to any of these other ministrations without drugs. If that's the case, talk to your vet about it––please.
8. Natural therapies can work
For severe sufferers there's no doubt it'll be hard to ask a simple flower essence to do all the heavy lifting, but for milder cases, Bach flower extracts (as in Rescue Remedy), lavender oil (in a diffuser is best) and/or "Dog Appeasing Pheromone" (marketed as D.A.P. in a diffuser, spray or collar) can help.
9. Consider seeing a board certified veterinary behaviorist
If nothing else works, your dog should not have to suffer. Seek out the advice of your veterinarian and, if you've gone as far as you have with him/her, consider someone with unique training in these areas––perhaps a board certified veterinary behaviorist like Dr. Radosta.

I just read your idea on helping with the fear. I am going to try cds and lavender oil and hope it helps. Cuddles literally cannot handle herself when there is thunder. It is awful and even scary for me that she is so far gone from being able to comfort her. She cannot get close enough, like she wants to be inside my skin with me, usually my head and face for some reason. Hopefully your ideas help. Thank you
Poor Cuddles. Hope it helps.
rowdy a lab/wipet mix, I think, is awful for storms. I've tried everything above and nothing works. the drugs take to long to kick in and storms are to hard to predict. I tried a behaviorist for awhile but his techniques were just not practical for your avg family with litle kids to keep up. Is there a daily medication that helps with overall anxiety and the fear of storms. this is not hiding under the bed fear, this is going potty in the entire house and destroying carpets etc. fear. Any help would be appreciated.
You'll definitely have to ask your veterinarian but I strongly recommend that dogs who truly freak out receive daily medication for generalized anxiety. The "doggie Prozacs" of this world can be helpful, especially when you also add in mild sedatives like Benadryl or stronger ones (like alprazolam). Ask!
I have two Jack Russell Terriers who just turned six years old. They are sisters and have an interesting relationship that can become volatile under the best of circumstances. About a year ago the alpha female became noticeably afraid of thunder, cars backfiring, fireworks, the lights flickering on/off or staying off, and loud talking/yelling. She would shake and pant for hours, she would scratch my legs if I didn't pick her up immediately-yet once I had her in my arms she couldn't stay there. I could do nothing to settle her and I was deeply concerned and frightened for her. I think this happened soon after we experienced a severe weather situation where a tornado barely missed us; however, it's not like that was the first time for that to happen. We have a lot of severe weather in Oklahoma, and though we aren't in the path of a tornado every time it storms, the storm sirens go off many times a year, and the wind & hail becomes nearly deafening often. Meanwhile, her sister who is meeker, but who has been the protector from time to time, didn't seem affected. I spoke with the vet on numerous occasions about medication, behavior modification, etc., and nothing worked. He finally agreed to putting her on an anti-anxiety medication which I give her twice daily. Though it helps some, it's not foolproof. She still shakes some, but she's a little easier to console. I also give her a few treats with Rescue Remedy on them. It all helps some, but as I said she still suffers some. Now, her sister has started having the same problem! She shakes hard and runs under the bed. I'm now going to have to tell the vet that she also suffers with this. It's a mystery to me that it took so long for them to become affected by storms and other noises. I try to act as if I'm not afraid. I don't want them to think their pack leader is shaking in her boots, though sometimes maybe I am. I know this is long, and I don't know if there is any advice you can offer, but I did want to relay our experience to everyone. It's a hard situation, and I love my little canine friends more than most humans! I hate to see them suffer and want to take it away if possible. Thanks so much, and best wishes.
Our vet wants to try this med. We gave him 1/4 of 1mg. Now it is been 3 hours. He is walking a lot. and crying. It is a 5 lb yorkie. Help us.

Bill S03314 and A2901 - The Bill of Adoptee Rights amends
the Health Law by adding a new section, 4138-e
Allows all adoptees when they reach the age of eighteen the ability
to receive a copy of their original birth certificate provided they have
proper identification and pay a nominal fee, and to receive an updated medical
history form submitted to the health department by the birth parent.
The medical history form shall be prescribed by the Health Department.
A birth parent may at any time request a contact preference form that shall
accompany a birth certificate issued under this title. The contact preference form shall
provide the following information to be completed at the option of the birth parent.
(A) I would like to be contacted
(B) I would prefer to be contacted only through an intermediary
(C) I have completed a medical history form and have filed it with the department
(D) Please do not contact me. If I decide later that I would like to be contacted, I will submit an updated contact preference form with the department.
I have completed an updated medical history form and have filed it with the health
The health department shall provide updated health information from the birth parent
to the adoptive parents of a minor and directly to the adopted person who has reached
the age of eighteen.
When it shall be impossible through good-faith efforts to provide a copy of the birth
certificate (as in the case of an adopted person born outside of, but adopted within the
state of New York), the adopted person shall have the right to secure from a court of
competent jurisdiction or the adoption agency true and correct identifying information.
This bill will become law one year after the governor signs it. Within two years of the
effective date the governor shall appoint a voluntary citizens task force to review,
assess and report on the progress and administration of initiatives established with the
new law.
New York Statewide Adoption Reform statement:
Supporting and notable issues for the "Bill of Adoptee Rights", a piece of legislation that seeks to do more than just gain adoptees' rights -- it is legislation that cares for everyone involved.
1. This legislation fully encourages the New York State Assembly and Senate Members to acknowledge and support within a law, the lifelong health and well-being of adults who have been or will be adopted in this state. It also has them by law recognize that the denial of access to accurate and complete medical and self-identifying data of any citizen, is a violation of that citizen's civil rights.
2. This legislation clearly states that adoptees be given equal considerations permitted by law to all non-adopted citizens. But it does so while providing for the need of privacy for that adopted citizen and his/her birth and adoptive families.
3. All adoptees (whether adopted in or outside of NYS) shall at the age of 18 be granted the right -- To have access to and attain his/her Original (long form, line by line vault copy) Birth Certificate. All adoptees will have the right to obtain from a court of competent jurisdiction or the adoption agency the true and correct identifying information that would have appeared on his/her original Birth Certificate, with a "hold harmless clause" for releasing such information from any liability arising out of the disclosure.
4. This legislation insures that all updated information shall also be released to all parties involved. Adoptees, under this legislation, are guaranteed their right to updated and current birth family medical histories.
5. The contact preference protects the civil rights of all birth parents and adoptees that do not want contact. This preference can be rescinded at any time by the filing party.
6. Regardless of the Contact Preference it will not diminish the right of the Adopted Person to receive updated health information and their Birth Certificate.
7. This legislation also assures within two years of passage that the Governor form a citizen's task force to review, assess and report on the progress and administration of this legislation. It states the individuals that shall be a part of this task force (equal numbers of adopted persons, birth parents, adoptive parents and adoption professionals). It allows these individuals to have full access to files from Children & Family Services, Surrogate courts to enable complete and accurate reporting without comprise. It also within this law states that this task force within one year will submit a written report to the legislature and the public on:
8. This legislation also assures that additional information and data will be collected and accepted from birth relatives and updated continuously. It further states that this data will be provided within 90 days to either the adoptive parents of a minor or directly to the adult adopted person.
9. This legislation also presents the importance and use of a Law Guardian or Guardian Ad Litem to honestly protect the rights of the child.
10. This legislation also presents the importance within its wording, behind all adopted persons having the right to grow up into adulthood, leaving the stigma of forever being a child behind in the laws of this state.
Remember this -- some adoptees have been totally denied access to medical information and testing for certain genetic diseases due to their lack of a family history. If ever there was a reason for the adoption laws in NY to change, this is it. No one in this country should be denied their right to practice preventative health care, but that is what is truly happening to adoptees. Why should the status of adoption keep someone from knowing what medical conditions their true blood line holds? Why should the status of adoption keep people from knowing information or people? Adoptees are people and should have the same rights as any other citizens in the USA -- but sadly they do not! Now we must come together to change that and get NY State to recognize all of its citizens, adopted or not. We as people all deserve to be complete, fulfilled beings with a true history and true identity of self.

I try to scream

It's like a bad dream
But I can't awake
I try to smile
But a frown appears
It's near impossible
To hide the tears
I try to run
But there's no place to hide
I'm not even sure

There's no turning back now
What's done is done
It's been too long
I'm off my track
The farther I fall

I'm too far gone
I lost my track
I've fallen too far
I can't go back
I try to love
But I trust no one
I'm terrified
Of what I've become

Behind this mask
I lie to their faces
When they ask

wishing she could realize
pouring out are desperate cries
help her see
all the debris

help her grow
help her to heal
take away the numbness
show her how to feel
she wont want to be
what she cannot see
so show her whatelse there is to be
and help her to be like you and me
she isn't vain
just full of pain
and she plays it off
like it's all a game
but does she really believe
in all of her own lies
is she so blind she can't see
that it's ruining lives
somebody needs to make her realize
that she's got to open her goddamn eyes
and see what she's done
and what she's become
and all that's gone numb
and what's done isn't done
her life's not a game

show her that she has to care
show her that she can't go on

So much better from below
But the part of me that used to care
Died a long time ago....

you think you've got it bad
you think you've got it so unfair
but if you wanna see what hell is really like
I can take you there
because hell is my home
I accept that fact now
it's no "home sweet home"
but I deal with it somehow
it's no home like your home
but it's my home to me
even though I want out of here
it's the only place I can be
it hurts me
it kills me
i'm falling apart
even though this is home
it's not chosen by heart

All I Ever Need (2001)
sometimes I try to run and hide
from all the pain I have inside
I try to pretend that it's not there
I tell myself that I don't care
but I know I do, so I can't pretend
I just hope and pray that it soon will end
but my greatest fear is that it never will
my life depends on a fucking pill
and everyone thinks that it helps so much
but they don't know how it fucks me up
I hate this pain I have inside
it hurts so much and I can't hide
and what to do I can't decide
and there's always that choice of suicide
that thought that's always in my head
the thought of wanting to be dead
but then my love, he calms me down
and turns my view of life around
and even still I always cry
and have that thought of suicide
but I know my love is there for me
and that is all I ever need

at this tiny little dot that didn't fit in
never thought to wonder why
too blind to see what was about to begin
for years I just ignored it

the tiny dot had grown
I remember being scared

I'd grab a pen and write a song

the dot changed to a hole
my sky just cracked like glass
unkowingly piercing through my soul
scarring it for life
just never saw it start
now I have this pain

I watched the stars all fall
I saw my sky turn black

couldn't understand what was happening

Years passed by, and she grew older
She still tries to get away
She lived a lie, her days grew colder
Breathing one less breath each day
Still thinking
Everything was fine
Still saying to herself,

Tech Premarket: Micron, Cisco, Facebook
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Micron Technology
(MU - Get Report) was a big loser before market open, tumbling 2.9% to $22.47 as investors continued to digest the company's deal with Rambus
On Tuesday, the two companies ended their 13-year dispute. As part of the settlement, semiconductor specialist Micron has agreed to pay Rambus $280 million over seven years as a license to use its patents. Micron is also the most active pre-market Nasdaq stocks on share volume of 885,632.
Shares of Cisco (CSCO - Get Report) fell 0.9% to $21.02 before market open as Citi initiated coverage of the tech giant with a sell rating and an $18 price target. "We forecast revenue grows at a slower 3-5% pace over the next 3 years than both Cisco's existing 5-7% long-term growth target and the Street at 6%, from share loss in Cisco's core routing and switching markets," wrote Citi analyst Ehud Gelblum, in a note released on Wednesday. "We expect this slowing revenue growth and uncertainty around Cisco's position in the data center to result in multiple compression despite an attractive 4% dividend and 9% free cash flow."
Cisco missed Wall Street's revenue forecast when it reported its first-quarter results last month, weighed down by weak tech spending. The switchmaker also pointed to the fallout from the controversy over National Security Agency spying, which damaged its business in China.
The San Jose, Calif.-based firm hosts its financial analyst meeting in New York on Thursday.
Facebook (FB) was a winner before market open on Wednesday, rising 0.57% to $50.53. The social network was also one of the most active pre-market Nasdaq stocks on share volume of 344,161.
Groupon (GRPN) shares climbed 3.39% to $10.38 on share volume of 220,705, while Yahoo! (YHOO) was down 0.7% to $39.94 on volume of 188,029 shares. BlackBerry (BBRY)was off 2.51% at $5.82 on 157,052 shares. --Written by James Rogers in New York. Follow @jamesjrogers >Contact by Email.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Mr. Oyelowo, how do you approach playing a historical character?
It's a very tricky thing because of course you have to be evocative of who they were, how they moved, how they spoke. You have to make people relax and say, "Okay, he feels like him enough that I can just go on this journey with this character." But if it becomes an imitation, if it's about mimicry, if all people were saying is, "Oh, yeah, he really got the voice," you're dead! That's the worst compliment you can pay.
Really, why?
Because when you go to see a movie, there is a spiritual exchange between the audience and what you're watching. There is something metaphysical going on, where through the eyes, through what that person is exuding, you go, "I understand who they are. I have a sense of what they're feeling when they're not even talking."…

Syria crisis:Army offensive along Damascus airport;Internet ,mobile communication 'cut off' Last Updated : 30 Nov 2012 04:18:37 PM IST Syria crisis:Army offensive along Damascus airport as Internet and mobile communication 'cut off' Syrian rebels and government troops are clashing south of the capital as Internet and telephones lines remain cut for a second day nationwide.Damascus airport was not accepting flights on Friday a day after fighting near the airport cut the main road to the Syrian capital.
Syrian troops mounted an assault on rebels near Damascus, closing off the road to the airport before later securing it, authorities said, amid awidespread telecommunications outage.President Bashar Assad's regime and opposition activists blamed each other for the blackout, which is the first to hit the whole country since Syria's 20-month-old uprising began.
"Airlines are not operating to Damascus today as the airport was not accepting any flights," said the Dubai-based airline official, who declined to be identified.
Flight schedules on aviation websites showed that two airlines based in the Gulf - Air Arabia and flydubai - would normally operate flights to Damascus on a Friday.
The Austrian Defense Ministry said two Austrian soldiers from a United Nations peacekeeping force deployed in the Golan Heights area — a disputed zone claimed by Syria and Israel — were injured when their convoy came under fire along the airport road. Their injuries were described as not life-threatening.Phone and Internet networks were down across most of Syria for a second straight day on Friday
"In some areas, it is possible to access the Internet but with great difficulty," Observatory director Rami Abdel Rahman told .
"It is also very difficult to reach people by phone.But we have received reports that it is possible to communicate between certain regions via fixed telephone lines," he added.
Internet and telephone communications, including mobile phones, were cut in thecapital.
The official news agency SANA had still not resumed transmission today after its feed was cut yesterday at midday. Its website was also inaccessible.
Yesterday afternoon, when communications were first cut in Syria, activists accused the regime of preparing a "massacre" while the authorities explained this interruption as "maintenance".
The United States on Thursday accused the Syrian regime of cutting off Internet and telecommunications links in the war-torn country, branding the move a sign of desperation. Amnesty International said on Twitter that reports of an Internet shutdown were "very disturbing".
Friends of Syria' agree to step up pressure on Assad
Delegates from more than 60 countries agreed in Tokyo today to ramp up pressure on Bashar al-Assad's regime and urged the international community to unite to force change in Syria.
The "Friends of Syria" condemned the "incessant killings, bombings of residential areas" and the "gross violation of human rights" that have taken place since Assad's forces moved to crush an uprising.
At a meeting in the Japanese capital, the group's fifth since its inception, they called for a full oil embargo on Syria, a move aimed at cutting off a rich source of currency for the regime.
In a statement released after the meeting, the group, which includes Western and Arab countries, called on "all members of the international community, especially members of the United Nations Security Council, to take swift,responsible and resolute action".
Two of the five permanent members of the Security Council -- China and Russia -- have blocked action. The statement welcomed the formation of the National Coalition, a newly-unified opposition group that has been recognised by Britain, France and Spain as the legitimate representatives of Syria.
It also called for ramping up of sanctions to tighten the noose around the regime, insisting that any ill effects suffered by the populace were the fault of the government in Damascus. "The group called on the international financial and business communities to diligently comply with ongoing and forthcoming measures against the Syrian regime," it said.
"The group reiterated its call on all states to impose an embargo on Syrian petroleum products and a ban on the provision of insurance and reinsurance for shipments of Syrian petroleum products." Presently, the United States has banned the import of
Syrian oil and gas, but the EU has not.Japanese Foreign Minister Koichiro Gemba earlier told the meeting the international community had to act together where the divided Security Council had failed."The violence has continued for more than 20 months and the number of casualties in Syria has surpassed 40,000 and counting today, causing a humanitarian crisis," he told representatives from 67 countries and organisations.

DEFINITION of 'Porter Diamond '
A model that attempts to explain the competitive advantage some nations or groups have due to certain factors available to them. The Porter Diamond is a model that helps analyze and improve a nation's role in a globally competitive field. The model was developed by Michael Porter, who is recognized as an authority on company strategy and competition; it is a more proactive version of economic theories that quantify comparative advantages for countries or regions.
Also known as "Porter's Diamond" or just the "Diamond Model".
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Porter Diamond '
Traditional economic theories cite land, location, natural resources, labor and population as determinants in competitive advantage. The Diamond Model uses a more proactive approach in considering factors such as:
-The firm strategy, structure and rivalry
-Demand conditions for products
-Related supporting industries
-Factor conditions
The Diamond Model demonstrates that countries can become competitive regardless of whether they possess natural factor endowments such as land and natural resources. In the Diamond Model, the role of government is to encourage and push organizations and companies to a more competitive level, thereby increasing performance and ultimately the total combined benefit.

text: Just One More ArtistIf given the choice, by no means would I be an artist. I would happily work on Wall St. or suck the blood of the lower class as a politician and go home with a wad of cash and a smile on my face every evening. However such a life eludes me, for it is nothing that I could hold in my hand and feel comfortable with. Such a life is like lying in a man's arms that I do not care for.As artists we struggle and cry and bleed and sit down the end of the day not with a smile but with whatever remnants of our day we can fathom. I wish that I could work on Wall St. in the same way that I wish that I could be amused by idiotic teenage banter or crappy Hollywood flicks. Such behavior would make my life effortless and free, but I am bound by my own mind and body to a profession that was inevitable. I was born an artist.I don't know where I'm going in life, but I have a good idea of who I want to take with me.

About Kateryna Fury
Kateryna Fury was born in Albuquerque, New Mexico in the eighties. An autistic child she struggled not just with the challenges of autism and other disabilities but with in the confines of an abusive upbringing. She survived and developed a fierce sense of self and became an advocate for others.
Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, repeated head injuries and other medical catastrophes stole her ability to hold a pen or pencil and control the motions. With the advent of the Android tablet and her first, the Samsung Galaxy 10.1, she discovered that she could use her fingertip to draw. This allowed her to return to the world of art and free up the synaesthetic beauty she could not put into words and can try to convey to others through art.
Kat says she paints mostly feelings though some of her works are presented to challenge her technical skills.

A village on the outskirts of Mexico City clashed with police officers last week. More than 100 police officers were injured and five people were taken into custody over a battle concerning a natural water spring that has serviced the village for years. Authorities want route the spring to serve the more under-served areas. It was just the latest clash over water in Mexico City, a place of nine million people where the taps are beginning to run dry.
By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)

Published in Americas
Keywords: Mexico City, spring water, San Bartolo Ameyalco. clashes
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Mexico City had a growth spurt between the 1940s and the 1990s. Outlying villages, such as San Bartolo Ameyalco as a result, lost their identity and were consumed in the sprawling growth.
San Bartolo Ameyalco has taken great pride in its natural water spring. Mexico City officials wanted to extend the municipal water system into the village.
Starvation never takes a vacation --
However, many villagers think that the city wants take their spring water to supply the explosive growth of apartment blocks, offices and shopping centers that have sprouted in the upscale developments nearby.
Villagers fear that their plans to shore up the city's plans for the natural spring have - pardon the expression, have dried up.
"This community has been deeply linked to water ever since it began," community activists wrote in a description of their town, whose name, Ameyalco, means "place where water springs forth" in the Nahuatl Indian language.
Rock-throwing residents greeted police last week. "This water project has been delayed for more than 18 years," the city's police department said in a statement.
"We think that the tank truck operators are involved. Tankers from this area don't want this project to go forward," borough president Leonel Luna said at a news conference.
City officials say they are trying to bring water into the area for 20,000 people who don't have service, not take it out. They said pipes for the project had been successfully laid last week and that city workers were being withdrawn.
Villagers are suspicious of their government's intentions due to the uncontrolled growth they've allowed in the hills nearby.
Developers have created a huge satellite city known as Santa Fe in the hills, despite the fact that adequate road, mass transit and water lines did not exist.
In the meantime, the situation is dire for many Mexico City residents have to rely on tank truck deliveries to get water, and every few months water supplies run out for entire neighborhoods; residents often block roadways to pressure authorities into solving the problems.

Great radio and no BTooth problems Written By 530iman, atlanta on Saturday, March 03, 2012 "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value I purchased this radio on feb 24 2012 and it shipped with the new firmware and all the bluetooth bugs worked out. Everything performs either good or great, bluetooth great but it syncs phonebook after every call, not a deal breaker, people on the other end say I sound like a normal speakerphone would, ipod control is great as well 3 second lag between songs is the only negative but it is not consistent, sometimes there is no lag. It improved the sound in my bmw 10 times with the factory amp and speakers. I would recommend this radio to anyone looking for good build quality from a known name with a budget under 400.00. Crutchfield should bring these back... great deal. With all its beels and whistles I was amazed at the price. Pros: ipod interface on rear of radio, front rear and sub rca output, dual zone audio, real eq, Cons: ipod skip to next song lags on occasion, phonebook syncs after every call
Unusable Bluetooth Written By Brian, Independence, MO on Sunday, August 07, 2011 Had this stereo for 1 year and fought bluetooth problems the whole time. The bluetooth sound quality was horrible. I tried everything to resolve the issue; firmware updates, calls to Kenwood's tech support, and sent the unit in for service. The only solution that they could give me was to turn the phone volume down. When that was done the sound got better but the stereo volume had to be turned to the max in order to hear the other person. I also had issues with the unit randomly rebooting for no reason. When this would happen it would force the ipod to reset. I never had this problem with the previous stereo. The interface is not fully refined. If your SWC has a "MODE" button you still have to cycle thru all the sources (XM, Sirius, USB, ect) if you have nothing connected to them.
Awesome... (mostly) Written By DeanT, Metro Detroit, MI on Friday, October 15, 2010 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Things I like: - nice screen, lots of "source" options - great radio reception - good bluetooth (although a bit quirky) - very nice sound quality (even with factor speakers) - a LOT OF VALUE for the $$ NOT so nice: - menus seem somewhat disjointed - configuration screens can be confusing and limiting - time to import bluetooth phone book takes forever and does so EVERY time the phone gets paired; regardless if it's the same phone - no A/V input on back (except for Ipod connection) - owners manual is horribly deficient of valueable details - doesn't play divX - still haven't figured out some of the front "a/v in" limitations
Awesome Look, Great Function Written By Kurt, Chattanooga, TN on Wednesday, May 19, 2010 I bought the DDX616 from Crutchfield in March 2010 along with all the accessories (trim panel, Sirius radio, steering wheel control adapter). I installed it in a 2008 Mazda3. It took a good 8 hours to install everything, but that includes painting the trim panel to match the "piano black" plastic and modifying the filler panel to fit a trip computer. Anyway, the DDX616 works and sounds great. I love the touch panel control. I haven't played any DVDs yet, but the iPod control and Sirius are fantastic. Only negatives are that it didn't read in my Blackberry contacts for the hands-free phone (the phone works fine, but just didn't read the contacts) and it takes about 20 seconds to boot up when you first turn it on. The graphics are kind of cheesy, but not bad. I got the Kenwood in case I want to add the navigation module in the future (Kenwood's the only one to use non-proprietary navigation... they use Garmin). I highly recommend this one to anyone looking for a state-of-the-art double-DIN head unit.

Diamondbacks 6
(35-82, 17-41 away)
Mets 10
(55-59, 30-24 home)
7:10 PM ET, August 13, 2004
Shea Stadium, Flushing, New York
NEW YORK (AP) -- All Danny Garcia wants is a chance. Now he figures to get it.
Filling in at second base for injured Jose Reyes on Friday night, Garcia made the most of it, driving in four runs in the New York Mets' 10-6 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks.He hit a three-run home run to get the Mets started in the second inning and then beat out an infield hit for another RBI in a five-run third. The four RBI came on a night the Mets placed Reyes on the disabled list with a stress fracture of his left fibula. He is expected to miss four to six weeks."I have an opportunity," Garcia said. "Now we'll see what happens."Richard Hidalgo and Mike Cameron also connected for the Mets as the Diamondbacks dropped their eighth straight game and their 82nd this season, guaranteeing the team that won the World Series in 2001 a sub-.500 season.Kris Benson (9-9) earned the victory, his first for the Mets after being acquired from Pittsburgh on July 30. He was tagged for three home runs and eight hits over seven innings, striking out five and walking two."I struggled with my fastball command all day," Benson said. "The runs were going to come at some point. We scored them on a night I needed them."Manager Art Howe was pleased with Benson's effort."He gave us seven good innings," he said. "It was a quality outing. He got through the seventh, which is important. We only had to use the bullpen for two innings."Garcia got the Mets started early.Jason Phillips walked with one out in the second and Joe McEwing doubled him to third. After Benson flied out, Garcia jumped on the first pitch from loser Casey Fossom (2-12), hitting a three-run homer into the left-field bleachers."I thought he would try to get ahead of me," Garcia said. "I hit a good pitch.""Danny really got us going," Howe said. "You know he's going to give you everything he has. You have to like his effort."In the third, Hidalgo homered into the left-field bullpen with one out, touching off a five-run rally. Cameron walked and David Wright singled. After a double steal, Phillips bounced to Fossom, who retired Cameron at the plate. McEwing was intentionally walked, loading the bases, and then Benson walked, forcing in a run.That finished Fossom. Elmer Dessens relieved and Garcia followed with an RBI infield single, making it 6-0. Then Todd Zeile doubled, knocking in two more runs."Again, we're down 8-0 in the third inning," Arizona manager Al Pedrique said. "That hurts. Our offense swung the bats well but sometime we've got to get a lead and give ourselves a chance."The Diamondbacks have not had a lead since last Saturday.Scott Hairston homered for Arizona in the fifth.An inning later, Alex Cintron singled and scored on a double by Danny Bautista. Then ex-Met Carlos Baerga homered, making it 8-4.The Mets came right back against reliever Steve Sparks. Cliff Floyd opened the sixth with a single and one out later, Cameron hit his 25th home run of the season, tying a career high.But Cintron's two-run homer in the seventh made it 10-6.Game notes
Hidalgo's home run was his 19th of the season and 15th for the Mets since being acquired from Houston on June 17. ... Wright had his first major league stolen base on the back end of a double steal with Cameron in the third inning. ... McEwing reached base three times on two hits and a walk. ... Hairston's homer was his eighth of the season. ... Baerga hit his second. ... Mets reliever Mike Stanton appeared in his 64th game.

My pharmacist recommended this for magnesium deficiency because it has very high absorption. The downside to oral supplements is that they sometimes cause upset stomach or diarrhea. Magnesium citrate is known for causing diarrhea. That's why it's sometimes used for its laxative effects.

"I got more comments on that caricature than anything else I have done from a marketing and branding perspective," he says. Avoid stock phrases and business-speak like "we care about our people," Woodruff explains. He points a finger of shame at a certain large shipping company whose trucks read "synchronizing the world of commerce," a phrase that Woodruff believes only means something to those in the shipping industry.

I'm not sure. My great grandfather was Franc Kosek b. 1859 or 1858 in Bohemia at ? Kraj Jchlovski? Date of migration unknown. In 1886 he was in NE. He married a Josephine Kunc also Bohemian. They had 5 children. Left Pawnee Co. NE in about 1908 to Republic Co. Kansas. He is buried just outside Narka. We know of no other relatives and are in the dark. I wish I had some definite information for you or you for me. Good luck.
