And so we find ourselves on the final full day of our trip. Tomorrow is the flight back to the UK, which will be the usual drudgery of dragging luggage around, sitting around waiting for things to happen and being generally dehumanised by the airport experience. So today was our last chance for tourist fun in Seattle.
As it was, we both got to today having exhausted all of the things that we wanted to do in Seattle and so we were at a bit of a loss for how to fill the time. We decided to Google around for things and found that Seattle's Museum of Flight was a highly recommended way to spend half a day, so we decided to travel down to the south end of the city to visit.
With no car we were forced to rely on public transport to make this journey which, in Seattle, means figuring out the bus system. My only previous experiences of travelling by bus in the US were the film Speed and a particularly terrifying ride from Malibu Beach to downtown LA a decade ago, which skirted the edges of Compton, Inglewood and seemingly every area of LA that hip-hop rappers have spend decades portraying as deeply scary places. So I was a little apprehensive.
As it was, the bus service in Seattle is lovely – straightforward to figure out and regular, with friendly drivers that let you know when you've reached your stop. We arrived at the Museum of Flight with no trouble.
The museum turned out to be huge, and concerned itself not only with exhibits on aeroplanes, but also had a huge amount of space stuff. There was a genuine Soyuz capsule, which had very obvious markings from re-entry burns, an ISS training module and the Space Shuttle cargo bay simulator. It was all very interesting, especially the stuff on the moon landings.
The aeroplane section was similarly fascinating, consisting of a huge exhibit hall with full planes strung from the ceiling and parked on the floor. A couple of these planes had cockpits that you could climb into and play around. Naturally, I jumped at the chance to do this and patiently waited my turn, but found that I was consistently being beaten to it by the endless school children that were also visiting. Eventually, Michelle had me form a queue with the other 9 year olds and gave any kids that were thinking of jumping it the skunk-eye until they hastily changed their minds. Yay! Gave my best Top Gun thumbs up and played with the "stick" for a while.
By far the most interesting section was the Air Park, outside the museum itself. This area had a number of actual planes parked and open for wandering around in. These included a Boeing 787 Dreamliner (which was huge but not particularly interesting) and a Concorde (impressive, but surprisingly normal inside). Best of all was the Air Force One plane used by Kennedy, Johnson and Nixon. It was fascinating to walk around the control panel that might have been used to approve nuclear strikes or see the toilet that Nixon presumably launched a few of his own missiles into.
For lunch, we stopped by the museum cafeteria and ordered a couple of pita sandwiches. One of the odd things we've noticed about eating in the US is their peculiar bread. It seems that they have an array of bread types that any European might expect to find (pita, pannini, baguette) and they all look perfectly normal when viewed from a distance. But if you actually touch them, they all seem to be made from the same kind of foamy, white bread material. The bakery aisle in a supermarket is like a wax museum for bread – it looks right, but everything there is just a painted facsimile.
Odd bread aside, we really enjoyed our trip to the Flight Museum and definitely recommend it.
On the way back to the AirBnB condo we're renting, we were unexpectedly joined in the lift by the building concierge. You'll remember that we'd previously been given instructions to not mention AirBnB or anything to do with AirBnB to the building residents and its staff. So we were a little uncomfortable when the concierge introduced himself and asked us how long we were staying. Surprised, I trotted out the arranged cover story about staying with a friend and discovered in the process that I am useless at lying under pressure and made a mental note to never have an affair. The concierge raised an eyebrow and was clearly not even remotely convinced. We hastily exited the lift, scampered back to the apartment and spent the rest of the night expecting a knock at the door and a hasty eviction or something.
As it was, nothing untoward happened, but it was a little annoying to have that as a worry on our final night. I like AirBnB, and our two experiences were mostly excellent on this trip, but in future I'd definitely stick with houses rather than apartments.

|A very contemporary look, very clean and sharp.
Sheer, which is leading to be popular this year was also featured. It was shown with abstract shapes, looking very current and stylish. Playing with looser shapes, the designer duo created looks which were casual but fashionable, adding leather for another level of uniqueness. This collection featured monochrome as the dominant colour choice, a timeless classic with a contemporary twist.
The collection came to a close with structured looks. The jackets look carefully designed, with interesting shapes and silhouettes. Dominantly black, with highlights of white to contrast the two colours. The collection leaves thoughts of stylish yet effortless.
|I'm really into this look, I think it's artistic and very interesting.
|Love this look, absolutely effortless!
|A very clean look, the cut-outs add modernity and youth.
|Very plain, simple nonetheless.
|A wonderful look, cool with leather and 2 materials.Feminine with a belted waist and reveal of the legs.
|One of my favourites from this collection, the simplicity speaks volumes.
|The jacket looks rather structural and almost sculptured. A worthy finale look.

Daughter-in-law has the shower curtain, which she loves, and thought I'd get the hand towel to go with it. Didn't give it to her. The photo shows the entire towel, not what it looks like folded. When folded you only see some of the "splatters" on the bottom. If you turn it around the zebra's head is upside down. The way it's currently being produced, it isn't a suitable image for a hand towel.

For those who are very bearish on the OEX index over the near- or long-term, and who require a known, limited upside risk, buying a put might be an appropriate strategy to use. Purchasing an OEX put option requires a smaller initial cash investment than the margin requirement for a short sale of multiple shares of component stocks. In addition, there are no margin calls, nor does a put holder pay any dividends. This reduces the capital at risk and offers the potential of leveraged profits if a bearish OEX outlook proves correct. As the OEX index level continues to decrease, the long OEX put's profit potential is limited only by the index declining to no less than zero, and large returns on investment can be seen. On the upside, the investor with short stock positions is exposed to a potentially unlimited dollar loss from an increase in share value, while the OEX put buyer's maximum loss is known in advance and is limited entirely to the option's purchase price.
Remember that OEX options have American-style exercise and P.M settlement characteristics. An investor with a long call or put position may sell that position, if it has market value, on any day up to and including the last trading day, usually the Friday preceding the expiration date. A long OEX option may also be exercised at any time up to its last trading day. However, the OEX's exercise settlement value on the day of exercise may or may not be the observed level of OEX at the close of the stock market (3:00 p.m. Central Time). The settlement value is officially reported, and an OEX option's cash settlement amount calculated, after all component stocks of the OEX have closed for trading and their closing prices reported, which generally occurs before the close of OEX option trading.
In other words, an option that is in-the-money (or out-of-the-money) at the close of the stock market (3:00 p.m.) may or may not be so afterwards when the official OEX exercise settlement value is reported.
Investors may observe that American-style options trade at higher relative value than European-style options with similar contract size. This is because investors may pay more for American-style contracts in exchange for the right of early exercise (before expiration).

A sexy 14k rose gold leg wearing stilettos and a garter with a ruby, bursts through the center of a sterling silver star in this fabulous custom made 1940s Retro brooch. Engraved on the back of the star is the name Michael Todd and on the front of the leg, the name Lynn Powers. This brooch is likely a memento of the Broadway burlesque review, "Star and Garter", produced by Michael Todd in 1942 / 1943. Michael Todd was a well known producer and also famous as Elizabeth Taylor's third husband (the only one she did not divorce.) According to IBDB, Internet Broadway Database*, Lynn Powers was a member of the "Star and Garter" cast, along with Gypsy Rose Lee.
The star measures 2 3/8" north to south and 1 13/16" east to west and weighs 12 grams. It is marked 14k on both the back of the leg and the back of the clasp. The gold has a slightly rosy hue and the ruby, being of the Retro period, is synthetic. In very good vintage condition, it has an age appropriate patina and a slight curvature to the pin stem.
We don't know if this one-of-a-kind brooch was custom made solely for Lynn Powers because of a special relationship with Michael Todd, or whether he had one made for each cast member as a memento of "Star and Garter." We only know we have never seen another one like it and love the unique mixed metal design, sexy theme and its connection to Broadway theater.
*Please visit "Our Favorite Links" on our shop homepage to view the IBDB link showing the full cast of "Star and Garter."

I first spotted these oven dishes, made by Mary Lincoln of Ardmore Pottery, over on I am of Ireland, an online Irish craft retailer. Amid its broad range of stock in a variety of materials, it was these dishes that really stood out. Beautifully simple, the dishes boast a perfectly circular shape, interrupted only by two small tabs for handling, glazed in a great shade of soft sea green. The dishes are designed and made along with a range of pottery by Lincoln at Ardmore Pottery and Gallery in Co. Waterford, where Lincoln runs her pottery studio along with a craft shop. You can buy them there as well as online through I am of Ireland. Also, you can see these and more items in the flesh at I am of Ireland's pop-up shop in Clashmore, Co. Waterford on 10 and 11 November.

Campo, Calif. — HE senses them out there in the dark, making their moves, trying to outsmart him. He's planted on a hill in the cab of his mud-splattered, jacked-up truck, a greenish 1976 Silverado with roof-mounted motion sensors, holes in the floorboard and a "Don't Tread on Me" sticker in the window. From the cab, he studies the valley below with night-vision goggles, Ruger revolver strapped to his ribs.
"I own the night, brother," says Max Kennedy, a lanky, sunburned man with a scraggly goatee and a voice like a fistful of desert gravel. In his 53 years, he says, he has driven a cab in Miami and ferried fur coats in New York, peddled marijuana and jewelry, played bass in a punk bank and marched with 1960s radicals. He has been a Gingrich Republican and a pagan, a seeker of meaning in the Kaballah and the sayings of Chairman Mao.
In his latest incarnation, he's a Minuteman staking out a small stretch of the U.S.-Mexico border in the beautiful, inhospitable mountains of southeast San Diego County. Untethered to job or family, he's one of three or four hard-core members who camp out here full time, trying to catch illegal immigrants as they cross.

Fatigue & Fracture Mechanics in Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
NAFEMS e-Learning Course
Four -Week e-learning Course - (one 2.5 hour session per week)
Course Overview
Fatigue failure occurs when a material is subjected to repeated loading and unloading cycles. The level of stresses present to cause failure may be well below values considered safe for a single static load application. The critical fatigue initiation is usually at a very localized site and may be a result of additional factors such as stress concentration due to component shape, surface finish or corrosion pitting.
Fatigue has been cited as one of the major causes of in-service failure throughout engineering history. The earliest application of rotating machinery with its attendant cyclic nature produced documented fatigue failures. Textile loom machinery, pumping machinery and above all steam railway operations were beset by a mode of failure that was not understood. The early railway axle failures and mining equipment failures prompted fundamental testing and research. The theories on which much of modern fatigue analysis is based on were developed all through the industrial revolution and into the 1920's.
The advent of more complex structures with more complex loading histories was typified by the introduction of the first jet powered airliners. Sadly new fatigue lessons had to be learned in the period from 1954 as a result of the DH Comet crashes.
The nature and prediction of fatigue is much more understood, and is a requirement for most design products today. However the application of fatigue analysis is not easy and a good background is essential to be able to use the powerful FEA method as a basis for fatigue analysis.
Much of the terminology used in setting up the fatigue problem through a modern GUI is confusing and the choice of options is not always clear.
The objective of this course is to break down the fatigue analysis process into clearly defined steps, give an overview of the physics involved and show how to successfully implement practical solutions using Finite Element Analysis.
Course Process and Details
In the current climate travel and training budgets are tight. To help you still meet your training needs the following e-learning course has been developed to complement the live class. The e-learning course runs over a three week period with a single two hour session per week.
The course is completely code independent. No software is required.
Each topic in the class is treated as a building block and is presented using an overview of the physics and theory involved. The math is kept simple and the emphasis is on practical examples from real life to illustrate the topic. The mapping to Finite Element analysis techniques is shown with numerous workshops. The tutor will be showing analysis results interactively and involving the students in the process via Q and A periods during each session, follow up emails and a Course Bulletin Board
Students are welcome to send in problems from industry and these will be discussed as time permits.
Full notes are provided for the students, together with personal passwords for e-learning backup material, bulletin board access etc.
Students will join the audio portion of the meetings by utilizing the VoIP (i.e. headset connected to the computer via headphone and microphone jacks) or by calling into a standard toll line. If you are interested in additional pricing to call-in using a toll-free line, please send an email to: e-learning @ nafems.org .
Who Should Attend?
This course is aimed at practicing engineers who wish to learn more about how to apply finite element techniques to fatigue analysis in the most effective manner. Ideally a student should have some experience of FEA analysis, but this is not essential. The material that is presented is independent of any particular software package, making it ideally suited to current and potential users of all commercial finite element software systems. This course is a must for all engineers aiming to use FEA as a reliable predictive tool for fatigue analysis.

Trailer for Season 2 of Telltale's The Walking Dead
Today, as promised, Telltale Games released a short trailer for "Season 2" of their critically-acclaimed take on The Walking Dead universe. It features a conversation between Lee, the playable protagonist from the first season, and the lovably precocious orphan, Clementine. In the trailer, you witness Clementine's transformation from a young, frightened girl to a strong survivor who is capable of taking care of herself.
In fact, Clementine will be a playable character in Season 2. As before, the season will consist of five separate episodes, each costing $4.99. The first episode will be released "later this year" for PC, Mac, Xbox 360, PS3, and iOS, and the season will conclude sometime in 2014.
If you haven't already played Telltale's episodic adventure game, you should do so immediately. It is one of the best games I've ever played and, to date, the only game that has made me cry.

Supporting Marriage Is No Excuse to Bash Gays
Cardinal Roger M. Mahony of Los Angeles urged California Catholics to back an upcoming referendum defining marriage as a contract between a man and a woman, but he said they should oppose anyone who will use this measure to promote hatred against homosexual persons. Californians are to vote on Proposition 22, a referendum on the legal definition of marriage, on March 7. The initiative says that only a union between a woman and a man is valid or recognized in California law.
Meanwhile, Bishop Kenneth A. Angell of Burlington said he was disappointed at the Vermont Supreme Court's ruling on Dec. 20 that gay and lesbian couples must receive the same legal protections and benefits as married couples. But he added, Thank God it does not redefine marriage. The court in Montpelier stopped short of legalizing same-sex marriages, saying the Legislature should decide whether to recognize such unions as marriages or set up a legal system of domestic partnerships.
Chiapas Coadjutor Bishop to Head Another Mexican Diocese
Pope John Paul II named Coadjutor Bishop Raul Vera Lopez of San Cristobal de las Casas in Mexico's Chiapas state as the new bishop of the Diocese of Saltillo in northeastern Mexico. Bishop Vera, a 54-year-old member of the Dominican order, was named coadjutor bishop in San Cristobal in 1995. He had been expected to succeed Bishop Samuel Ruiz Garcia, a noted proponent of the rights of indigenous people in the troubled southern state of Chiapas. Bishop Ruiz, who has headed the San Cristobal Diocese since 1960, submitted his letter of resignation to Pope John Paul on his 75th birthday in November.
Rumors of diplomatic pressure in Rome by the Mexican government to have Bishop Vera removed from San Cristobal circulated throughout 1999. On Dec. 16, Bishop Ruiz warned in an open letter that forces outside the church were trying to influence the succession process to prevent Bishop Vera from becoming head of the diocese. The succession in San Cristobal is controversial in part because of the uprising by the indigenous-led Zapatista National Liberation Army that began on Jan. 1, 1994. The Vatican statement said the reasons for the move are purely church-related for both San Cristobal and Saltillo.
Some Schools Teach Abstinence as Only Birth Control Option
One-third of U.S. public school districts that teach sex education promote sexual abstinence as the only appropriate form of birth control, but most present abstinence as one of many birth control options, according to two surveys released in mid-December. Although a vast majority of U.S. school districts require that their schools promote sexual abstinence in sex education classes, one in three schools offers abstinence programs teaching students to wait until marriage, or until they are older, to have sex. Most schools use what is termed abstinence plus programs that discourage sex, but suggest use of contraception for students who still choose to have sexual relations.
Poll Finds Many Americans Spiritual But Not Religious
Most Americans think of themselves as religious, but in a recent Gallup Poll 30 percent called themselves spiritual but not religious. The survey found that Catholics were more likely than Protestants to describe themselves as religious. Catholics were also more likely than Protestants to say other religions besides their own offered a true path to God. Eighty percent of Catholics and 74 percent of Protestants held that view. Only 42 percent of the Protestants surveyed said non-Christian religions can offer a true path to God, but 61 percent of Catholics held that view.
The survey also found that four-fifths of Americans believe that one day God will judge them and send them to heaven or hell. But 44 percent said good people can go to heaven even if they don't believe in God.
A.M.A. Delegates Vote to Support Federal Pain Relief Bill
Delegates to an American Medical Association meeting in San Diego voted to back a federal pain relief bill that would thwart Oregon's assisted suicide law. Many of the 500 delegates, who represent 300,000 physicians nationwide, said assisted suicide should not spread, but they also want some changes in the bill, called the Pain Relief Promotion Act. Fearing federal oversight, they want state regulators, not the federal Drug Enforcement Administration, to mete out whatever punishment might be warranted for doctors who help patients die.
Vatican Asks for Overhaul of ICEL
The Vatican has called for a complete overhaul of the International Commission on English in the Liturgy (ICEL), which translates liturgical texts into English. Questioning the quality of ICEL's work as well as the way it functions, the Vatican ordered the revision of the commission's statutes. Cardinal Jorge Medina Estevez, prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Sacraments, said the new statutes must give his office a greater say in the work of the commission, including Vatican clearance of ICEL personnel. Representatives of the 11 bishops' conferences that sponsor ICEL will meet on Jan. 21 in London to discuss Cardinal Medina's letter.
Cardinal Francis E. George of Chicago, the U.S. representative on the commission, said that one key point behind Cardinal Medina's letter is that the relationship of ICEL staff and translation experts to the bishops is not structurally as strong as it might be. He added that he thought another of the Vatican congregation's primary concerns was to limit ICEL's role to being an agent of translation of Latin texts into Englishnot an agent of change on its own, composing original texts in English for consideration by the bishops' conferences.
ICEL was founded in 1963 by bishops' conferences in English-speaking countries to develop common English translations of liturgical texts. Cardinal Medina said, for a number of years now the Vatican has pointed out how ICEL was being too free in its translations. The Vatican has emphasized the importance of a literal translation from Latin into English when dealing with the prayers and readings for Mass and other liturgies.
Cardinal Medina's letter, dated Oct. 29, urged the bishops to draft new statutes for ICEL quickly and to submit them to the congregation before the end of April.
UNICEF Reports Dire Conditions for Children in Africa, South Asia
High mortality rates, low birth weights and stunted growth are prevalent among children under age 5 in African and South Asian countries, said a new report from UNICEF, the U.N. Children's Fund. Out of 25 countries with highest under-age-5 mortality rates estimated for 1998, 23 are in Africa, according to the report, The State of the World's Children 2000. In South AsiaAfghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lankafrom 1990 to 1997, 33 percent of infants had a low birth weight, and more than 50 percent of children under age 5 had stunted growth, it said. The UNICEF report said nations' failed leadership was to blame for the staggering number of violations of children's rights, such as lack of access to health care and the abuses of armed conflict, forced labor and sexual exploitation.
Venezuelan Flood Survivors Helped by C.R.S., Caritas
Many survivors of Venezuela's deadly floods and mudslides were being helped by Catholic Relief Services, the U.S. bishops' international relief and development agency. C.R.S. committed an initial $100,000 in emergency aid for local purchase and distribution of relief supplies being coordinated through Caritas Venezuela, the Venezuelan bishops' relief agency. About 20,000 people were being sheltered in church buildings. The Venezuelan government estimated that as many as 30,000 people had been killed in the flooding caused by heavy rains. A top Red Cross official said on Dec. 28 the death toll was between 20,000 and 50,000. Many victims remained buried by mudslides or were swept out to sea. About 400,000 people were left homeless as mudslides engulfed thousands of flimsy homes built on mountainsides along a 60-mile stretch of Caribbean coast just north of the capital, Caracas.
O.A.S. Blames Salvadoran
Government for Murders
The Inter-American Human Rights Commission of the Organization of American States said the government of El Salvador is responsible for the murders of six Jesuits and two women in 1989. In a report released in late December, the Washington-based commission found that Salvadoran state agents carried out the murders and covered them up in violation of international human rights law and the Geneva Conventions concerning the conduct of internal armed conflict. The commission called on the Salvadoran government to rescind its amnesty law, complete a full investigation into the murders and punish those responsible.
In the early morning hours of Nov. 16, 1989, Jesuit Fathers Ignacio Ellacuríathen rector of the Central American University in San SalvadorMartín Baro, Armando López, Joaquín López López, Segundo Montes and Juan Ramón Medrano were dragged from their beds and shot dead by an elite army unit. Their housekeeper and her teenage daughter were also murdered.
A 1993 truth commission, set up at the end of the conflict, concluded that the murders had been ordered by members of the army high command at the time. But a post-war amnesty law has meant that none of those named has been brought to trial. In 1991 a group of lower ranking officers and one colonel were found guilty of carrying out the killings and were briefly imprisoned before being released under the same amnesty law.

Paul Cook admits he is wary of inflicting too many formation switches on his Pompey team.
The Blues' players have been schooled in the ways of 4-2-3-1 since the manager arrived at the club in May.
I am not suggesting we can't but it's not like a flick of a light where you think you canPaul Cook
It has been the primary system which has carried Pompey into second place in League Two and undefeated after eight league games.
Although a plan B of 3-5-2 paid instant dividends in the second half against Barnet, Cook favours his tried and tested method.
It is for good reason, too, having won promotion from the bottom division at Chesterfield in 2014-15.
Pompey head to Bristol Rovers on Saturday seeking to extend their bright start to the campaign.
And once again the 4-2-3-1 remains at the forefront of his preparation.
Cook said: 'At Chesterfield we used to go 4-4-2 as an alternative system and were rubbish at it!
'We were horrendous. We got beat 4-3 at Morecambe, 3-2 at Newport, you don't release that you build these lads to play in a way and then in a space of a blink are expecting them to go completely against that.
'For me, 4-4-2 is about hitting your front two early, support and crosses into the box.
'We are building a team to play possession football and then all of a sudden because the game is not going well let's all change – and we expect the players to be able to do it.
'I am not suggesting we can't but it's not like a flick of a light where you think you can.
'I believe all successful teams have a way of playing irrespective of whether that is 4-4-2.
'Our problem at the moment is every team has changed how they play to play against us so that is something we can overcome.'

Singapore Lee Kuan Yew's authoritarian rule is beginning to hurt the country.
Singapore Lee Kuan Yew's authoritarian rule is beginning to hurt the country. Look for yourselves.
First, Lee Kuan Yew is finding it harder and harder to persuade honest capable people to join his party or his government because his cruel illegal harassment and hounding of his political opponents by his abusing the law and every organ of state has discredited him and his government beyond hope.
He does find some who will still join him but these are themselves persons lacking in integrity. Take for instance the Sikh lawyer from the law firm Drew and Napier whom he retains to sue his political opponents. That Sikh, one can see, has no shame or self respect at all since he, just as any other lawyer knows that the defamation cases that he argues for his client Lee Kuan Yew are entirely without merit since every one of those cases involves legitimate political criticism of Lee Kuan Yew which is clearly within the free speech clause of the Singapore Constitution. But he wins every one of his cases because he knows that the judges who decide these cases, are just like him, men without any principle!
There are others like the Indian Sikh who heads the Bankruptcy Office, another who will say or do anything to please his master, Lee Kuan Yew, and as an example of which, you will recall his having said that in his opinion Mr. JB Jeyaretnam, the highly respected opposition politician was "the most dishonest bankrupt he ever came across". To say such a thing, knowing it is a lie, requires a person to be totally devoid of integrity. This is the sort of worm that holds high position in Lee's government.
The list of Lee Kuan Yew's willing lieutenants goes on. High court judges such as Wu Bhi Li and VK Rajah and the lot of them.
Do you see my point? I am trying to say that Lee is no longer able to get upright men and women to work for him, because such people refuse to do the dirty work that goes with the job. This is hurting Singapore. Recently because of the continuing heavy resignations and the inability to attract new entrants, Civil Service salaries were increased, but despite this, the numbers continue to decline.
The fact that Singaporeans are getting educated is itself turning out to be an albatross around Lee Kuan Yew's neck. Education makes one think. It emboldens people which makes it more and more difficult for Lee to lie to them. 20 years ago, when Lee spoke of his achievements in his 3 hour speeches to the people, they were all ears, because they were not aware of the truth. Now, even if Lee pays you to listen, you might still refuse since we are no longer as gullible. Perhaps you might tell him to go tell the sailors. In the minds of the discerning, we now know that he is nothing more than a ruthless corrupt money grabbing dictator, no more no less.
Emigration is a major problem that Singapore faces. The fact is now that Singapore educates its citizens only to let Australia and New Zealand reap the benefits of these people who emigrate there. Although Lee Kuan Yew tries to replace these people by encouraging immigration, no one with any real ability is taking up the offer. There are various reports which have stated that of the 870,000 foreign workers in Singapore, the vast majority are unskilled temporary workers. The skilled who leave Singapore are not being replaced.
Take myself Gopalan Nair for instance. I am a lawyer with many years of experience both in Singapore and the USA. But even if I was paid a million dollars, I will refuse to be even seen in the company of such dishonest lawyers such as the Sikh who abuses the law for a living on behalf of Lee Kuan Yew. And just like myself other honest professionals refuse to come to Singapore. Although the state controlled Singapore press will not say so, the Singapore government is finding the brain drain crippling and it is seriously affecting it's ability to run the country.
The problem is that Singapore has lost it's credibility both within and outside Singapore. What Lee Kuan Yew fails to understand is that when credibility is lost, all is lost.
Thanks to the efforts of Dr. Chee and others, this fact that Singapore is a country lacking in credibility, is corrupt and denies the rule of law is well known throughout out the world. As a result, the European Union is now placing restrictions on Tumasek and GIC investing in European countries. Scandinavia and Canada are doing the same. They are even thinking of reneging on the Singapore investments already there.
Locally in Singapore, every single Singaporean has lost respect for the very foundations of society, namely the Judiciary being corrupt, Lee and his Ministers being corrupt in paying themselves millions of dollars, the Civil Service being corrupt for refusing political critics their normal rights, and the list of infamy goes on. Lee Kuan Yew and his government has, to put it bluntly, been discredited.
The latest evidence of this is the refusal of Singaporeans to fly the Singapore flag in their HDB cubicles which they call home. The flags are not being flown for this National Day. Almost all housing blocks refuse to fly the flag.
And if you have read this article, please take that flag down. This will be showing Mr. Lee Kuan Yew that he is no longer wanted.
Another serious problem is students who are bonded on Singapore government scholarships breaking their bonds after having lived for some time in the West, despite their action resulting in their parents having to pay heavy penalties. Why? Well, they have seen the the pleasure of freedom in the West in contrast to the stifling repression under Lee's thumb. This is causing Lee heavy damage.
On the whole, investments from the West are declining. The West is becoming more and more aware of what Singapore under Lee Kuan Yew really is, nothing more than a place to work and keep paying taxes with no possibility of becoming rich, unless you are prepared to tow Lee's line. Singapore is being looked upon as another Burma and therefore not a place to invest, not wanting to enrich the dictatorship.
The Singapore foundations are weakening from attrition from these various angles. Emigration, disaffection from the locals, foreigners beginning to know the true authoritarian Singapore. We are all doing our bit to bring Lee down. Myself with this blog which is widely read. Dr. Chee in Singapore fighting and making the world know what it is. And the many others who all do their bit, by constantly exposing the repressive dictatorship.
We have seen Lee Kuan Yew speaking publicly very often these past few days on the history of Singapore and so on. He is 83 years old. He will die, sooner than others. No one even bothers to mention his son's name, whom he has appointed the Prime Minister since people see him as completely inconsequential. Lee Kuan Yew is worried what will happen to his son and his government when he dies. That is why he is busy making his speeches. No doubt he is worried for his son.
I will tell him now. His government together with his son will fall. And when that happens, it is he who is responsible for it.

well said, I am worried for Singapore as more and more its real-local talents leaves its shore because of these oppressions, it will surely fail.
Human resource is its only resource,
and it is being drain of it from countries like US, OZ, NZ, Canada.
And when it fail, all the million-dollar ministers will run-away and enjoy their wealth, with the poor common-folks suffering ...

This is a classic case of what the opposition are like. People who are only able to comment cynically on the situation in singapore without putting forward concrete strategies on how to improve the situation. If the opposition had any merit at all and going by your argument where you stated the MM Lee will find it harder to "manipulate" the population, then why didnt the masses turn to support the opposition? Lets face it, the opposition are weak, no doubt partly due to the restrictions placed on them, thankfully, for Singapore can well do without a political party that is "all talk and no action".

Office of Media Affairs
April 16, 2010
WASHINGTON, DC – The Council of Economic Advisers (CEA) today released a new analysis that finds that the Recovery Act was responsible for 84,000 jobs in Georgia the first quarter of 2010. The analysis follows a report released earlier in the week by the CEA that showed that the Recovery Act was responsible for about 2.5 million jobs nationwide in that same period - half of which were as a result of the over $200 billion in Recovery Act tax relief and financial assistance that has gone directly to mostly lower and middle-income families. The original report can be viewed HERE <http://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/microsites/CEA-3rd-arra-report.pdf> and the new state job impact analysis can be viewed HERE <http://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/microsites/CEA-3rd-arra-report-state-supplement.pdf>.
"From tax cuts to construction projects, the Recovery Act is now firing on all cylinders when it comes to creating jobs and putting Americans back to work," said Vice President Biden. "We're not only providing needed relief and spurring job creation now, but laying a new foundation for economic growth that will create jobs for a long time to come."
More than $9.3 billion in Recovery Act funds are already being put to work in Alabama so far creating jobs and driving economic growth. In addition to helping fill state budget gaps and jump-starting job-creating construction projects, the funds are also being used to provide tax cuts and other financial assistance like unemployment benefits to help hard-hit lower and middle-income families get back on firm financial footing.
CEA's report found that over $200 billion in tax relief and financial assistance has had an important impact on real disposable personal income in the last year and was responsible for 1.1 to 1.4 million of the approximately 2.5 million jobs created or saved by the Recovery Act so far. More than $110 billion in tax relief and $90 billion in other income supports was provided directly to individuals and families through March of 2010. According to the report, without these provisions, household real disposable (or after-tax) income would have fallen substantially in 2009 and consumer spending would not have rebounded as it did. Instead, income in each of the last three quarters of 2009 actually surpassed its level in the fourth quarter of 2008 and the surge in Recovery Act tax relief this tax season is expected to yield the largest Recovery Act impact on household disposable income yet in the first quarter of 2010.
The Recovery Act was signed into law by President Obama on February 17, 2009. The program is a combination of tax relief, financial assistance and infrastructure projects designed to cushion the impact of the downturn and lay a foundation for economic recovery. Since the Recovery Act began a little over a year ago, the economy has posted its largest quarterly GDP growth in six years and largest monthly job gains in three years. So far, $525 billion in Recovery Act funds have been obligated, or committed to specific projects, and, of that, $370 billion has been paid out.

Sources for this Sofa or Something Similar?
Q: Hi, I fell in love with this sofa (and room) when it was posted on Apartment Therapy a little while ago. I have been looking for something similar since but haven't found anything quite as distinctive. I love that the rolled arms are small and not really round and that the back has more sharp lines as a contrast, plus the button tufting. It has a little 70's feel to it, I think.

The 7-year-old seafood restaurant of noted maître d'hôtel Joseph Freyre is a deep pool with lots of room for exploration, especially given its new space. In moving across Eighth Street, Joseph's left behind heavy drapes for an updated look that reminds me of Marigold Café: warm colors mixed with decorative accents that offer the right amount of luxurious living-room. Long cream drapes frame large windows, while shiny poinsettia confetti, candles and colorful napkins stand out against the white tablecloths. A new patio, with its steel mountain art and mandatory fire pit, is all set for summer.
It's comfortable and well-designed and, at lunch, mostly full of elderly women driving the same Lexus SUV. I counted three in the parking lot, not to mention a host of other luxury cars fresh from Motor City. Inside, bottles of wine start at $16, but go as high as $250. Dinner for two can push past a hundred bucks pretty quick.
Generally, our service didn't stand up to the pricing, which is surprising considering Freyre's background as the backbone of the Broadmoor's Penrose Room restaurant. Though laying napkins in laps is a nice touch, service was too casual at dinner, where our waiter puttered over and never introduced himself or showed much concern, causing the owner to step in at times. At one point, that server grabbed additional silverware off an adjoining table, a faux pas at the fine-dining level. And it was nice that our to-go food was boxed for us, but the meal closed with our credit card slip and an absent-minded, "All right, then." We got a warmer parting from the bartender.
There's lots of food, drink and wine, including a separate bar menu that includes a dozen oysters on the half-shell for $21 and cotija-stuffed jumbo prawns. Considering recent local advances in the craft, the cocktail menu is pretty staid, though, offering Lemon Drops and Cosmopolitans. An Old Fashioned ($10) reflected the awful post-Prohibition style, soda water with muddled oranges and neon maraschino cherries obliterating any subtlety or enjoyment.
There's plenty of both in the Atlantic salmon ($25), an intriguing, cream-laden dish gorgeously plated with a latticework cracker, a fan of skinny carrots and asparagus, and a whole, fried leaf of basil. Sweet and tangy green apples played off horseradish in an almost-boozy sauce that was hard to forget about and harder to stop eating. Not so with the intense calf's liver ($25), which, through no fault of anyone, proves expensive liver is as sharp and polarizing as cheap liver.
The Scallops Pernod Salad ($15) is a compelling classic, where rich bacon bites bed down over spinach greens, brown sugar and a pool of the Pernod, its anise flavors balanced perfectly against the bitter spinach and everything else. Rounds of plump, seared jumbo scallops gild the lily. Pair it with a cup of Maine lobster bisque ($8), a clean-tasting bowl of orange decadence, or a fine Caesar salad ($9) that I mostly ordered hoping for anchovies. Alas.
A lamb sandwich on a hoagie roll ($13) is basically a deliciously tender Colorado Philly, but major fun came from the escargot en croute ($11.99). The entire welled plate was covered in a luxurious, golden pastry shell — a play on eating the plump garlic bombs from their own natural homes, and tons of fun, like digging for clams. Save your bread to dunk in the buttery leftovers, because some things are too good to waste.

Basement waterproofing
Basement waterproofing involves techniques and materials used to prevent water from penetrating the basement of a house or a building. Waterproofing a basement that is below ground level can require the application of sealant materials, the installation of drains and sump pumps, and more.
Waterproofing is usually required by building codes for structures that are built at or below ground level. Waterproofing and drainage considerations are especially important in cases where ground water is likely to build up in the soil or where there is a high water table.
Water in the soil causes hydrostatic pressure to be exerted underneath basement floors and walls. This hydrostatic pressure can force water in through cracks, which can cause major structural damage as well as mold, decay, and other moisture-related problems.
In poured concrete foundations, cracks and pipe penetrations are the most common entry points for seepage. These openings can be sealed from the interior. Epoxies, which are strong adhesives, or urethanes can be pressure injected into the openings, thus penetrating the foundation through to the exterior and cutting off the path of the seepage.
In masonry foundations, interior sealers will not provide permanent protection from water infiltration where hydrostatic pressure is present. However, interior sealers are good for preventing high atmospheric humidity inside the basement from absorbing into the porous masonry and causing spalling. Spalling is a condition where constant high humidity or moisture breaks down masonry surfaces, causing deterioration and shedding of the concrete surfaces.

The Captain Kimberly Hampton Memorial Foundation was formed to celebrate the life and honor the memory of our daughter and only child, Kimberly. The mission is to raise funds to provide scholarships for deserving Easley High School students, support the Captain Kimberly Hampton Memorial Library, and benefit military families through the Fisher House Foundation, Wounded Warrior Project, and support families who have lost loved ones in the Global War on Terrorism.
U.S. Army Captain Kimberly Nicole Hampton was flying an OH-58D Kiowa Warrior helicopter above the outskirts of Fallujah, Iraq, in a raid on an illicit weapons marketplace when she was shot down on January 2, 2004. She lived her dream of commanding a U.S. Army Air Cavalry troop, and died as a footnote in history: America's first female military pilot killed in combat by the enemy.
An All-American girl from Easley, South Carolina in the U. S. Army's All-American Division, Kimberly was assigned as Commander of Delta Troop, 1st Squadron, 17th Air Cavalry Regiment, 82nd Airborne Division, Fort Bragg, North Carolina. On August 31, 2003 she deployed her troop to Iraq attached to Taskforce Wolfpack. Prior to that assignment, Kimberly served in the 4th Squadron, 7th Air Cavalry Regiment, 2nd Infantry Division in Korea.
Kimberly's love for her job as a combat aviator was never more evident than in an email she wrote to her parents while deployed to Afghanistan in early 2003:
"You don't still worry about me do you? Nah! Can't imagine I give you much to worry about…I mean volunteering to go to an airborne unit and jump out of airplanes with only thin material to slow my descent to the earth, and then volunteering to go to a combat zone where there are rockets and gunfights and land mine strikes every day. Nope…not a thing in the world to worry about. And that's not to mention my chosen profession, which is to fly a single engine helicopter which is overweight, outdated and slow. No, nothing to worry about!
"If there is anything I can say to ease your mind…if anything ever happens to me, you can be certain that I am doing the things I love. I'm living my dreams for sure-living life on the edge at times and pushing the envelope. But I'm doing things others only dream about from the safety and comfort of home. I wouldn't trade this life for anything – I truly love it! So worry if you must, but you can be sure that your only child is living a full, exciting life and is HAPPY!
"Thank you for always supporting me. I love you.

With S.230 Veto, Shumlin Makes Good on Speaker's Promise
Legislative response will be instructive for voters
Governor Peter Shumlin, giving a gift to his benefactors in the energy industry, vetoed S.230: "An act relating to improving the siting of energy projects." S.230 had overwhelming support in the Legislature, but observers reported that House Speaker Shap Smith, Representative Tony Klein, and Senator Christopher Bray had promised that no action would be taken on wind turbine noise during the session. It turned out that a Shumlin veto, justified by a handful of flimsy pretexts, was the only way to keep that promise.
S.230 would have required Vermont's Public Service Board to develop noise standards for wind turbines and the bill would have changed the way regional and municipal plans factored into energy siting decisions. Energize Vermont supported the bill only because of its turbine noise provision. Many House members cited the noise provision as the reason that the House passed the bill unanimously.
While neighbors of existing wind turbines would not have benefited from new noise standards, many were heartened by the Legislature's acknowledgement that turbine noise is a problem. Many were hopeful that the legislation could have brought Vermont into line with other states, like New Hampshire and Maine, which protect their citizens with strict turbine noise standards. It is the position of the Shumlin administration that turbine noise is not a problem and that neighbors who suffer from the effects of turbine operations have only their own bad attitudes to blame.[1]
S.230's authors had hoped it would quell the Vermont Energy Rebellion, but the bill fell far short of the demands of the 150-plus rebellion towns that had called for energy development to comply with municipal siting standards.
The bill was followed closely by dozens of citizen lobbyists clad in green vests who witnessed first-hand how the deceptively-named Vermont Public Interest Research Group (VPIRG) worked hand-in-glove with energy lobbyists and the Shumlin administration to thwart every attempt to empower local government and curb the environmentally damaging development practices that Vermont energy policies encourage. VPIRG has strong ties to the energy industry, having board members and contributors that benefit financially from the anything-goes energy development policies that it advocates for Vermont.
The citizens saw the power of the energy lobby when Senator Christopher Bray used untruthful wind industry talking points on the Senate floor to renounce a turbine noise monitoring amendment that bore his own name.
While Governor Shumlin was concocting the array of justifications for his veto, the wind lobby was hard at work directing its legislators in the development of "a fix" for S.230 that will reduce municipal influence over energy siting, weaken turbine noise standards, and provide more goodies to the industry.
The Legislature's response to the governor's veto will provide Vermonters with an instructive demonstration of character that will serve as a theme for the upcoming campaign season. How many legislators will have to explain why they voted against the bill after they voted for it?
[1] On April 16,2013, the Department of Health's William Irwin spoke about the effect of turbine noise on neighbors before the House Natural Resources and Energy Committee and said, "It's their [the neighbors'] attitude about the sound if you can change that, it may help."

'I want mary Kate's attacker banned from boxing for life after hotel punch', says dad
A 15-year-old boxer described as Ireland's next Katie Taylor may quit the sport after being punched in the face in a hotel corridor following a prestigious boxing event.
Mary Kate Nevin, a first cousin of Olympic medallist John Joe Nevin, is recovering at her Mullingar home after being assaulted, allegedly by a male Russian boxing coach.
Speaking to the Herald, her anxious father Paddy Nevin said his daughter may not get into the ring again after the shocking incident.
"She's only a child, she's in bed now and while her eye is physically recovering I'm worried that she has been hurt emotionally and mentally," Paddy said yesterday.
"I said to her 'are you going to box again?' and she just said 'I don't know daddy'.
"She's just a young girl but she has incredible potential. I don't know what to do."
Mary Kate had been competing at the Queens Cup in Germany before the incident.
Team manager Bernie Harold said Mary Kate and another competitor had gone to a room at the hotel in Stralsund when the incident happened.
She said they were giggling and laughing and the noise had woken the alleged attacker.
"This man came out of the room and punched her in the eye," said Ms Harold.
Mary Kate was taken to hospital to be examined after being attacked and the matter was reported to German police.
Speaking about the coach who is alleged to have assaulted his daughter, Mr Nevin was forthright in his views.
"I want to see him charged with assault, banned for life from the sport of boxing and exposed worldwide," he said.
"I also want to know how he became a coach and if he was vetted.
"Mary Kate could be the next Katie Taylor. It will be an awful shame if this affects her. She has been told that she has potential for the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo.
She has won 23 Irish titles. She's dedicated and trains six days a week.
"Mary Kate was team captain while away on the tournament, voted the best person in it and won gold," Paddy added.
The worried father said he hoped Mary Kate would step back into the ring again.
"I'd love to see her boxing again. She has a great future.
"I'm heartbroken for her," he said.
Meanwhile, the incident in Germany is to be discussed by Irish boxing officials next week.
"The matter will be raised at a Standing Committee Meeting of the Irish Athletic Boxing Association (IABA) in the coming days," Bernie Harold said.
Ms Harold was away with the boxing group in Germany when the incident happened. She said what took place was an outrage.
"For an adult to do that to a child, especially a gentle little girl, is awful," she said.
"Mary Kate told me she never got a black eye in all her time boxing and then this happens outside of the ring.
"The swelling has gone down now but when it happened she couldn't open her eye. I hope it doesn't affect her because she's a classy little boxer.
"The IABA, the Russian Federation and the world body will be investigating this."
The prosecutor's office in Germany could not be reached for comment. Mary Kate's father said he does not know what to do now.
"We are in Ireland, the thing happened in Germany and the man believed to be involved is probably in Russia. I don't know how this works," Paddy said.
Her cousin John Joe Nevin, who won silver at the London games in 2012, said he couldn't believe the news when he heard it first.
"I was shocked to be honest. It's terrible for anyone to be in an incident like that let alone someone so young," he said.
"I hope she'll get over it. She's a fighter and I think she will. There are big successes ahead for Mary Kate I'm sure."
The Mullingar man said he first saw the news of the incident on Facebook and while he hadn't spoken with Mary Kate he has heard through family that she is recovering from the ordeal.
"I know the coach involved too. I've seen him a few times. I'm shocked about the whole thing," he said.
A total of 15 junior Irish females took part in the Queens Cup in Germany and the team had took a record haul of seven gold, four silver and four bronze medals.
The team arrived home to Dublin on Sunday night and Mary Kate is being comforted by family as she gets over the horrific incident.
"It was an incredibly successful tournament," said Ms Harold. "We went with 15 boxers and we came home with 15 medals. That is unprecedented."
