Okay Betsy, here's the story: There is a short story by F.Scott Fitzgerald called The Curious Case of Benjamin Button where the child is born an old man and ages backwards. This was my attempt at being funny. Guess I failed!! C.

Cassie, this is a very clever video. I got the Benjamin Button reference right away. I liked the words at the end too. Alpha and Omega--beginning and end. It all begins and ends with God. Happy Monday to you! :D

When you and your team started in the manufacturing business, you were probably excited about the prospect of creating innovative products from metal and wood. The challenges of design, construction, and perfection are what excite you. You are less excited by the necessity of ordering replacement Donaldson Torit filters. And yet, because of your experience, you understand the importance of making safety a priority in the shop. Just as you wear the correct protective gear, goggles and gloves, so too your shop needs adequate safety equipment. One important aspect of this is the dust collection system and the filters which go within it. Wouldn't it be great if you could replace these less often and spend more time doing what you really want?
Your Options for Donaldson Torit Filters
Just because your system was initially established with Donaldson Torit filters does not mean that you are locked in to this particular brand going forward. In fact, you have the option to switch to one of the highest performing replacement filters on the market. The DeltaMAXX Dust Collector Cartridge Filters by Imperial Systems are manufactured to fit all makes and models of cartridge dust collectors, including your Donaldson Torit unit.
The DeltaMAXX Advantages
These innovative filters do more than simply offer a new, competitively priced option on the market for Donaldson Torit filters. In fact, they may change the way you buy replacement cartridge filters forever. Using the most advanced NanoFiber technology, less particles end up entering and embedding in the media below, improving the lifespan of the filter. In fact, the DeltaMAXX has up to twice the filter life of the industry standard. This long life is accompanied by the highest filtration efficiency in the industry, with 99.9% efficiency for .3 to .5 micron. Overall, the design of these filters leads to lowered operational costs and reduced operational mass emissions.
The Imperial Systems Difference
Although these superior Donaldson Torit filters are compelling on their own, Imperial Systems offers further incentive to switch your dust collection solution provider. Whether you contact Imperial Systems for replacement filters or an entirely new collection system, you can have confidence that you will receive the highest quality customer service. Just as we put serious effort and engineering into the development of our products, we are dedicated to helping you find the solution that is right for you and your business.

Linux Kernel 4.1.16 LTS Released with Updated USB and Networking Drivers, MoreJan 25, 2016, 06:00 (0 Talkback[s])
(Other stories by Marius Nestor)
Looking at the diff from Linux kernel 4.1.15 LTS, we can notice that Linux kernel 4.1.16 LTS is pretty identical in changes with Linux kernel 4.3.4, and according to the appended shortlog, it changes 51 files, with 390 insertions and 164 deletions. Therefore, it looks like it is even smaller than the previous maintenance release, which was announced in mid-December 2015.

text: Anyone else with a Droid2 or that has worked with a droid 2 notice that the color scheme Motrola used (because of Blur?) for the default menu items and such messes with the visability of text in certain programs? Sometimes text in certain programs is black on a dark grey background. THis doesn't make much sense, and makes it difficult to see things, but there it is. Is there a way to circumvent these solor scheme without loading up a custom ROM or pure google ROM? I know some progs let you change color schemes within thier prog, but some do not.

For instance, were you aware that both his mother and father were Marxist oriented individuals? His Father was a Communist, and his mother was a Socialist. This means they both shared a denial of God, and a belief that Life is unfair, and that the role of the "Liberal" is to correct what nature has messed up.
I will speak shortly about how a lack of Conscience impacts a person's view of life, and how being operated by ones MIND distorts ones view of life.
As a small child, O [for Obama], was tutored by Frank Marshal Davis, a well-known Communist. And O has also said that he naturally gravitated to students and teachers who were Communists throughout his schooling.
Not commonly known in the West, and in America, is the fact that the personality of the person who is naturally drawn to Marxism, or Communism, has a Soul that lacks what I refer to as "C'etc" [pronounced 'C_etcetera' ], which means a lack of [Conscience, Discretion, Knowledge, Acceptance and Empathetic Understanding], or my names for the "Virtues of Life". The ultimate accumulation of which results in Wisdom or Enlightenment.
We Souls are slowly acquiring C'etc simply by living life and engaging in the Law of Karma — and the Law of Karma is not well known nor understood in the West, or in America.
The short way to explain the Law of Karma is this: "As you sow, so shall you reap".
That is, every thought and action one engages in will come back to one, and this is the Law of Karma, and every living thing is subject to this law, with no exceptions. If interested, one can research Karma here. And the reader can research C'etc here [and this site discusses the subject of Consciousness, which is the key to understanding a person's psychology].
There are two basic types of people on Earth. One type I refer to as Enlightened, which means someone with an elevated level of C'etc. The other type of person is what I refer to as the Intelack class personality, and the Intelack class personality has a diminished level of C'etc. Or put another way, the Intelack class personality has a Soul that is new to the form of human being.
A most fascinating [and virtually unknown reality] is that there are a great many Intelack type people on Earth, or a type of people who possess a high level of Intellectualism, and yet these people possess very little common sense. Perhaps you are aware of such people? The reason for this is that a person's brain and thinking ability have nothing to do with a person's level of C'etc, or level of Consciousness. Consciousness is Spiritual in nature, and a person's brain and thinking is part of the physical body, or physical dimension.
So, it is quite possible that America could elect an Intelack type personality to the Presidency of the nation, especially when such a person was the first black person to run for such a high office. And without proper vetting, the people would not realize that this person possesses a high intellectual ability, and very little C'etc, or Consciousness, or common sense.
The problem that has resulted in America doing this is that the person serving as President is also the Commander in Chief, with extraordinary responsibilities… and power. This is not the first time this has happened in the world. It occurred in Germany, in the 1930s, and via a revolution, it occurred in Russia in 1917. But we are speaking of an election in America in 2008, where the nation was giddy in anticipation of electing a relatively unknown black man to the most powerful position in the world; and few Americans were aware of what 40+ years of Progressive education had done to the nation. So, in 2008, America elected its first black President, unaware that they were electing a person who [unknown to himself] hated America and held within his MIND a deeply repressed desire to punish Americans for the death of his Muslim-Communist father, who he believed was killed by the CIA, while his father was in Africa. In 2008, with the financial support of George Soros, America elected an Intelack class personality with a severe lack of C'etc, which means a lack of Consciousness .
In addition, without proper checking of the background of the first black president, the nation would not know that the father of O was a Marxist Muslim who abandoned O at the age of 3. And this left a deep sense of being "wrong" [within the MIND of O]. That is, a misperception taken on by the MIND of O that his father left him because he was not as important as the Communism his father left him to pursue in Africa. This psychological scar is what drives O today to try and "prove" himself to his father… and to punish America for being the "colonial nation" his father hated. This scar took the form of a phobic fear of being "wrong," which means an intense fear of making decisions.
In the White House today is a surrogate "mother" named Valerie Jarrett, and she makes the decisions that O fears to make. Of course this phobic fear and his dependence upon Jarrett is fully non-conscious to O.
In addiiton, both the mother and father of O had Intelack class personalities, which means they were lacking emotionality [and this means they feared their own emotions] and O was raised to deny [and thus fear] his emotions as well. So, today, O is very much like a sociopath when it comes to emotionality. And what is referred to as his aloofness, or detachment is actually referring to his inability to possess empathy or awareness of what others are feeling.
There simply is no level of self-love in O, and thus, his outward behavior [often referred to as narcissistic] is actually a mask for a very deficient sense of self-worth. So, when he refers to the United States as being aggressive or insensitive, he is projecting his own inadequacies upon the nation. His apology tour after election was O acting out his belief that America was what his Marxist Muslim father said it was. A Colonial power that needed to be punished.
Unfortunately, O, who was taught by Davis to hate Democracy and Free Enterprise, had this same hatred reinforced by his mother, who reminded him of how much his father hated America, and called America a colonialist nation. From his own writing, O suggests that America and Great Britain were complicit in the murder of his Marxist Muslim father who was killed in Africa while instigating revolution.
And finally, O spent 20 years listening to hate America from Reverend Wright, and this endless barrage of hate, resentment, and Intelack class distortion of reality surely took its toll on the MIND of O.
So, today, when America desperately needs the very best President possible, it has a frighted child, fixated on a desire to make America pay for the death of his father; a child who is desperate to "prove" himself to his father by seeking to make America into the Communist-Muslim state his father dreamed of fomenting in Africa.
I fear that, unless America wakes up… it will soon be lost forever.

Danakil Depression in MekeleJanuary 29, 2016 in Ethiopia
Our lovely friend Mulish from Gonder has done it again, his friend Ababa was ready for our arrival in Mekele and had already organized our seats for the Danakil Depression tour. Their credit card machine wasn't working, no surprise there, but since we were leaving one of our backpacks behind, she said we could pay on our return. We paid 300$us for 3 nights 4 days, which was the least expensive I have heard yet from other travellers, including people on our tour and even in our Jeep who paid anywhere from 350$-380$-some even 500$. Yay for farengi pricing, anything they can get away with!
I don't know what I was expecting here... We had skipped over this part in the travel book because we saw it was too expensive... We heard there was a volcano and sulfuric lakes but not much about them was described... And yet every traveler we met along the way assured us we absolutely needed to do this tour, so we did.
Turns out, Holy Fuck! Excuse my French.
This was honestly one of the coolest experiences of my life.
You start by a drive down what they call "the worst road in Africa", if you want to call it a road at all, the last 12km takes an hour to drive it. The way it worked - the tour needs to be done in 4x4 jeeps, or else we wouldn't get there, we were 15 people so 4 jeeps following each other, and we need a military escort vehicle (ever since the attack years ago), and there's a guide in one of the jeeps with a cook. This cook would make her way to wherever we were stopping for lunch and prepare everything for our arrival. I was fed incredibly well! Huge meals, delicious, water provided by them. Our cook Mary was this super bubbly, quite modern young lady. I say modern because she had a tattoo and tighter clothing then your usual, tradition Ethiopian.
The towns we stopped in for lunch pretty much just had the shack in which we ate, the rest was just rural Ethiopia. The Afar people, who live in this region, are said to be incredibly resilient, they live in the hottest "most inhabitablle" place on earth according to some research somewhere. They do so by being nomad, where every couple of months they pick up everything and move towards the water source, or crop land, or whatever they need at that time.
Tiny bit of negative before the awesome, they say these wonderful things about Afar people to you, but the only people we saw and interacted with were those begging for things, or simply pointing and laughing. Give me money, give me pen, give me candy, chocolate, and when all else fails, they point to something on you and say give me, plain and simple. Aggressive, annoying little ones, and you got to wonder "who's the idiot still giving them these things?". Well we found out.
There was this one particularly bad town, where you were literally swarmed with kids the second you stepped out of the jeep, also where the company decided we would have to spend half a day and the night. The second night of the tour, everyone basically agrees it's just to elongate the tour, but it's completely unnecessary. They bring you to a family compound, lay mattresses on the ground of 2 large rooms for the 15 of us, and you spend from around 2pm until the next morning at 10am here. As I mentioned, leaving the compound meant you were surrounded by kids grabbing your arm, pointing at you, and asking for things. They scream hello at you, and scream louder and louder until you answer them. Problem is you already said hello about 5 times, but dammit they want it a 6th time!
After a while, we started ignoring them. That failed. We then started being more direct, telling them to leave, go away.
It took me walking around this town of about 8 minutes, no more, to start getting rocks thrown at me. At first, smaller rocks, and to Jack also. We obviously turned, told them to stop and kept walking. I then started getting larger rocks. Jack, not so much. And larger. To the point where I got bruised in 2 places on my back from 2 rocks that nailed me. At this point, there are about 25 kids following us and laughing. Jack and I realized at that moment that I was apparently a little too different looking for them. It was very clearly aimed at me.
Obviously at this point, I headed back to the compound, where I had to spend from 3pm until the next morning sitting in one little court yard, not exploring. Others also went for walks and returned within 5 minutes because of the overwhelming kids. Small rocks thrown around them, not on them. This was probably my most disappointing evening.
Disappointing because as a traveler, you want to trust the people around you, you want to know you can get help, or just having an interaction with someone can be pleasant. But it was that evening that I realized I had no trust in any of my interactions with Ethiopians. They see us as wallets, entirely unwelcomed to their country unless we just walk around with an automatic tip or donation dispenser. A big part of travelling for me is the relationship you form with locals, and the experiences gained through them, but I won't find that here.
And then these two Americans, who apparently loved the kids, thought they were cute, decided to reward them all by giving them candy right outside our compound gates. They were surprised when the kids tore the bag away from them and ran away with it. Rewarding them. I couldn't believe it. I guess that's why they keep asking.
Enough negative, I saw a f***ing lava lake! The first day, we drove out as close to the Irta'ale volcano as possible, we ate, then started our 3 hour hike to the crater. We start this hike only at 5pm because apparently the goal is to walk with a headlamp in the dark for half of it, just for fun and games. This was the longest 3 hours ever, mostly because we could see the glow of the lava once it got dark, shining into the clouds. We all just wanted to get there!
Arriving at the top was just magical. You arrive at the top of the crater, looking down on this far, yet so reachable lava lake, just dancing around, spiting up every once in a while. Looked like the ocean side, crashing against the reef, only its firey lava! Once we got the go ahead from the military keeping guard, we actually descended into the crater and walked over this cooled off magma, crackling under our feet as if we were walking on giant charcoal. We got, without exaggerating, within 15 feet from the lava itself! Wind was strong and blowing the spiting bits away from us. The level of the lava must have been 2-3 meters from the rim. Seeing it bubble up, spit up, crashing against the side, absolutely mind blowing. Hot also. We were only permitted to stay about 40 minutes, and had to head back to the top of the crater to settle in for the night. Our accommodation for the evening - old, dirty foam mattresses, about 2-3 inches thick, depending how lucky you were, set into the dirt ground right smack outside around the crater top. The mattresses are laid out in groups of 3 within these 2 feet tall stone enclosures, almost like you would build around a fire pit, to help protect us from the wind. Thank God for our sleeping bags! Created this artificial cocoon I could pretend I was safe inside. The next day Jack told me there were mice in the rocks around us but chose not to tell me before because she knew I wouldn't have slept. Well played, well played.
We were woken at 5am so we could go back down for a second lava lake visit, only 20 minutes this time. I didn't want to leave. But eventually did, and we hiked down the 3 hours to our breakfast! The rest of the day was spent driving to that not so lovely town I told you about, where these same mattresses were laid out for us.
Day 3 we drove out to the salt lakes Lake Asale where these huge groups, caravans of camels and mules are still being used to carry the mined salt blocks back into town. Apparently, despite the fact that you can drive onto these lakes with large trucks, the locals are choosing to keep doing it the way they were taught traditionally, lifting all the salt blocks from the ground by hand, shaping them into squares to allow for easier transport and balance on the animals, and walking it all back. You couldn't see the end of this incredible white surface. We stayed here for the sunset (although too cloudy to see one) and had the music from one the trucks blasting, we danced and drank some local wine, had ourselves a great time. It was entertaining to see our military escorts have wine and dance with us...
Again, our accommodation for the night, weaved beds, with our usual mattresses over top, again outside. No walls, no markings of rooms or anything, just the Jeep parked at one end to "protect us from the wind" apparently. Where our 300$US each went, no one knows. But again, interesting experience! Apparently the star gazing is beautiful here, but unfortunately it was cloudy our whole stay. It was also supposed to be the warmest place on earth, averaging 34 celsius daily, but the clouds kept us cool all day.
And lastly, the sulfuric lakes in Dallol. The mixture of magnesium and sulfur and potash made these incredibly colourful formations... I was in awe of what nature could create. Yay for science.
All in all, 4 days of being driven around to these incredible sites, being fed amazingFood, in good company, what more could I ask for! All of it made my having to use the great outdoors as my toilet for 4 full days very easy to take !
And Jack can't stop talking about the volcano. Says she's going to stay to hang out with it, see how it's doing...Read more
Thanks Vee! Ron and I love to read your blog. So interesting. Travel safe and we look forward to your next post.

Lesbian Feminist Warriors
Amongst lesbian feminism's key goals [x] is the carving out a new "gynocentric" culture or womyn's (wommin, wimin) culture as opposed to the dominating "phallocentric" culture and language, or patriarchy. To Mary Daly 6, an American radical lesbian feminist theologian, this ancient farming tool and weapon, with its origins in ancient Minoan and Amazonian culture, symbolised not only a matriarchal past and womyn centred vision of the future, but also the creative/destructive force/ability of feminists (the force of womyn) that can cut through webs of patriarchal lies, illusions and reversals that block the breakthrough to new imaginations, visions and forms of being in the world, in short, the tools of feminist empowerment.
With one side of the blade representing exorcism, and the other side ecstasy, it is a symbol of a feminist and a warrior, and a symbol of recognition for strong lesbians who really do love women, and are women-identified-women.
The woman-identified-woman is a woman who puts women first by withdrawing her energy and support from men. It has nothing to do with the queer/trans*"identity" politics that arose in the 1990s, but everything to do with females who are primarily and politically focused on female/women's liberation. Women-identified-women are also directly associated with the emergence of political lesbianism and separatism feminism as radical lesbian feminism critiques heterosexuality as institutional (compulsory heterosexuality) 9 10
Feminist and Other Uses
Articles were published about the Labrys in feminist publications of the time. Lesbian feminists employed the symbol, and some wore Labryses around their necks or had it tattooed on their inner wrists. At a Mary Daly memorial ceremony women passed a Labrys between them on the stage. Several blogs today use the Labrys symbol to represent lesbian feminism. 11
In popular culture such as in the film Bound, Corky wears a Labrys tattoo 14. Today the tattoo has a popular interpretation of a general symbol of lesbianism, or it may indicate a personal interest in tribal/ancient civilizations. Also, there was Labrys magazine for gay women, launched in Atlanta in 2004 15.
A Tool Of Empowerment
But none of the latter paragraph are directly representive of the lesbian radical feminism movement from the 1970s, nor the ideas, vision and political activism of those lesbian feminists. The Labrys is much more than a symbol, the Labrys is a TOOL that encapulates the many tools feminists weild towards realising the female-centred vision of those feminists, who were (and remain) very real and active political movement. There are no bones about it, these womyn are warriors, no thing of the past.
Please add your lesbian feminist links to the comments, and if you were around in the 1970s please do comment, tell your stories and send me jpegs of your photographs!

When we think of moving abroad, particularly to a Spanish-speaking country, we become nervous and intimidated at the daunting idea of having to learn a foreign language. For most baby boomers, the thought of learning Spanish is daunting or seemingly impossible.
As a baby boomer, I know that people our age don't want to work that hard. If it isn't fun and easy, I don't want to do it. There is a belief that older people cannot learn a foreign language.
When I founded my Spanish school in 1990 in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, all my students were 60 years and older. It became my mission to create a course of study that would not only be easy and fun for my students but would also give them the skills to get along in their new Spanish-speaking country.
It took several years of teaching students daily and experimenting with different learning tools, different techniques, and different approaches to content. Over time, and with the help of some very smart students, I was able to create a course of study that has now been successfully used by thousands of students. I think that the magic lies in its simplicity.
If you can say "I need" in Spanish and you know a bunch of verbs like "to speak" or "to study" or "to run" or "to go", then you've already learned a lot. Add in a few important nouns and you are immediately creating sentences that allow you to express your needs.
Of course this is what we all want to do when we begin to learn Spanish. I'm aiming for the kind of functional Spanish that allows you to ask for directions and understand the answers…order a steak and tell them how you want it cooked…ask your new neighbors about their family…look at real estate options.
I've seen the difference it makes in lives. Most people that move to a Spanish-speaking country are just interested in finding a secure home, settling down, and relaxing. I run into these folks all the time at the conventions and conferences. They are through with working and want to live well doing other things.
Then, once in a while, I meet a younger person—someone in their 50s. These are adventurous folks who want to give the expat life a try. They are looking to live in another country and to earn a living at the same time. Some of these people end up working in real estate. They were licensed in the States and want to try selling real estate abroad. They don't necessarily speak a lot of Spanish but just have the personality for sales.
Crystal Calderoni is one such person. She wanted out of Texas. She started attending conventions and soon gained an interest in Mexico. She attended a Mexico convention and felt that this was the place for her. She didn't speak much Spanish so she felt that San Miguel de Allende would be easy. In fact, it was. It's a place where you can get by easily in English.
She was able to contact a real estate firm in San Miguel and was hired with one caveat: She was told that she would have to improve her Spanish.
So she got my product and began to study. Soon, she learned all the vocabulary for houses and could speak in sentences. In her office, she picked up the real estate terms and was now ready for work. Today she's a top sales person. At least half of her clients speak English, but she always looks forward to Spanish speaking clients so she can improve her game.

Vermont Mozart Festival – Grand Opening
July 10, 2008 by christine
Filed under Blog, Historic sites, Music events
Doesn't this place look gorgeous? It is Shelburne Farms, a pretty fancy 19th-century country home, on the shores of Lake Champlain in Shelburne. Designed in 1886 by Dr. William Seward Webb and Lila Vanderbilt Webb, it was and still is a 1,400-acre working farm, and now a national historic site. The lake and mountain views are spectacular, and the setting seems perfect for an enjoyable summer evening. On the sweeping lawns of the 24-room Inn, on Sunday night July 13, it's definitely the place where we will be, for a nice picnic (doors will open at 5:15PM), dressage at 6:30PM and at 7:30PM the Grand Opening concert of the Vermont Mozart Festival, one of the top summer events in Vermont. Tickets are $36, but you can also buy season ticket pass for the summer-long series of concerts throughout Vermont. What a wonderful excuse to drive around Vermont all summer long!
We have the complete schedule of concerts, with artists and location on our Event Calendar page!
Post-Event Note: Well, unfortunately, the rain prevented us to enjoy Shelburne Farms. The concert was relocated indoors. The music was great, and there was a great moment when Senator Leahy spoke the words of Abraham Lincoln on democracy in sync with the music! Very well done, senator!
However we have to say that the hall was overcrowded and the rain on the roof was somewhat distracting. Oh well… Our personal recommendation would be to skip a concert if you don't have tickets yet and you know the rainsite is being used.

Scholarships also granted to dedicated young volunteers
LAS VEGAS (August 3, 2012) —Ford Motor Company will donate $200,000 to purchase eight new vehicles for the DAV Transportation Network and $45,000 to DAV's youth volunteer scholarship program at DAV's 91st National Convention at the Bally's Hotel in Las Vegas.
"For 90 years, Ford has helped DAV build better lives for America's injured or ill veterans and their families," said DAV National Commander Donald L. Samuels.
Volunteer drivers use the vehicles to take sick and disabled veterans to VA medical centers. Since 1996, Ford has donated more than $3.4 million for the purchase of 164 vans for the DAV Transportation Network.
"Ford is proud of our partnership with DAV which spans 90 years," said Jim Vella, President, Ford Motor Company Fund and Community Services. "We are pleased to lend our support so that these deserving veterans can get the transportation they need to receive critical services."
Through the history of the partnership with Ford, DAV has purchased 2,469 vehicles, worth nearly $53 million, that have been donated to the Department of Veterans Affairs medical centers nationwide since this transportation program began in 1987.
"The DAV Transportation Network provides much-needed services to thousands of veterans. Our Transportation Network volunteer drivers log millions of miles on the road each year taking ill and injured veterans to VA medical center appointments and returning them home," said the DAV's National Director of Voluntary Services Ron Minter.
The donation of $45,000 helps DAV provide eight scholarships to young men and women who have generously volunteered their time and compassion to injured veterans in their community. In honor of the 90th anniversary of Ford's partnership with DAV, Ford Motor Company has increased its contribution to the Jesse Brown Memorial Youth Scholarship Program to total $90,000 over two years.
DAV empowers veterans to lead high-quality lives with respect and dignity. It is dedicated to a single purpose: fulfilling our promises to the men and women who served. DAV does this by ensuring that veterans and their families can access the full range of benefits available to them; fighting for the interests of America's injured heroes on Capitol Hill; and educating the public about the great sacrifices and needs of veterans transitioning back to civilian life. DAV, a non-profit organization with 1.2 million members, was founded in 1920 and chartered by the U. S. Congress in 1932. Learn more at www.dav.org.

Abandoned cars littering the county are easy pickings for young vandals, budding arsonists and joyriders. New legislation means the problem is likely to rocket. The police, fire service and the county council have launched a joint clean-up initiative. JESSICA SHAUGHNESSY reports
CHESTER is the county's most popular dumping ground for cars.
More than one vehicle is abandoned in the city and its surrounding rural areas every day, putting a drain on public resources and causing discontent in communities.
But authorities fear the problem is about to escalate, thanks to a European Council directive which increases the cost of scrapping a car. The Government has now imposed a charge on doing so.
Now leaving a vehicle on the streets as fodder to bored youths or taking it to the countryside to set fire to it are, to some, more attractive options.
Which is why Cheshire County Council, Cheshire Constabulary and Cheshire Fire Service have agreed a joint approach to get rid of dumped cars.
Until now, dumping your car outside somebody's house was a sure-fire way to make them miserable.
Police would stick a seven-day statutory notice on it and while it awaited its fate, youths would swarm around it, smash the windows, use it for joyriding and eventually set it alight.
Not now, police spokesman Jason Murray said at the fire service's Winsford HQ on Wednesday.
'The new Joint Procedure uses new powers to remove abandoned vehicles from the streets within 24 hours and will help to make our communities safer and cleaner places,' he said.
'By removing the vehicles quickly, we are removing the opportunity for crime and making our community a safer and more pleasant place to live.
'It is an excellent example of a simple multi-agency approach to achieve a significant result for everyone.'
Chief Constable Peter Fahy added: 'Abandoned vehicles and the subsequent damage they attract is only one feature of the anti-social behaviour which is driving up insecurity in local neighbourhoods.
'We are pleased to see this agreement and wherever possible will pursue those who abandon vehicles rather than disposing of them responsibly.'
As the waste disposal authority, the county council dealt with more than 1,100 dumped vehicles in 2002. About a third of those were in Chester - some of them stolen, but many just abandoned.
The council says in the past two years there has been a significant increase in people driving their cars out into rural areas and setting fire to them.
It seems 'considerate' arsonists prefer to operate in the safety of the countryside.
Unfortunately, in addition to the effect abandoned cars have on the community, they also place additional financial burdens on the authorities and the taxpayer.
Disposing of abandoned vehicles cost the county almost £80,000 last year. Each abandoned vehicle costs £70 to dispose of - and that figure will rise with the introduction of a European directive requiring all end-of-life vehicles to be drained of fluids and partly recycled.
It is perhaps the Fire Service which is most affected by this potentially dangerous trend. Crews are called out to car fires on an almost nightly basis.
Firefighters have to dodge missiles projected from the engines as a result of the intense heat.
And while attending to a maliciously ignited car fire, somebody else in the area could need their help.
Cheshire's chief fire officer, Steve McGuirk, said: 'The number of arson cases alone in such vehicles has increased by 50% in the last two years. The prompt removal of these vehicles removes an eyesore which can act as a magnet for young people.'
North West MEP Chris Davies worked on the directive in the European Parliament. He says the additional bills which will be handed to councils are a result of the Government decision to make owners pay to get rid of their cars.
The Institute for European Environmental Policy argues that the best means of paying for increased disposal costs of up to £100 would be to increase road tax by £5 each year.
It claims the annual 350,000 cars dumped on Britain's streets could rise by several thousand.
So owners determined to avoid the charges required to remove pollutants from old vehicles will annually rob taxpayers of tens of millions of pounds.

A view is a page that lists documents from a class (or a subset of it). Administrators can configure views to list documents. It is possible to configure:
- the documents to list (based on filters on their properties)
- the properties to display
- the usable filters
- the sorting of the documents
Example of a view listing product data sheet by categories
A default view called "All documents" is created as soon as you create the first class in a Document Management Library. In case of Team Folders and Secured Folders libraries, a class named Document" and a view called "All documents" are created by default.
Note that these default views are configured to display all the documents from the one class currently existing. But you can configure them to show every documents or to filter the list.
Administrators can configure views based on the nature of the library, workflow states or other parameters that may be relevant for the users of the library. Learn more: Configure views.

In this blog entry, we continue our three part series on using Sitecore with Multi-language websites and address the topic of configuring additional languages. You can read part one of this series at Sitecore CMS and Multi-language Websites - Part 1.
Adding New Languages
When configuring your Sitecore system to support multiple languages, you must select the active languages you intend to use. By default, English will already be configured and ready for use.
Once you are logged into the Sitecore Desktop, you can follow these steps:
- Click on the Sitecore menu
- Click on Control Panel
- In the popup window, click Globalization
- Click Add a New Language
- Click Next to begin the process
This brings up the Add a New Language wizard as seen below.
Adding a Pre-defined Language
On the language codes screen, you can select from a pre-defined list of languages. You will notice that some language names are duplicated for locale, for example:
- Spanish (Bolivia)
- Spanish (Chile)
- Spanish (Colombia)
- Spanish (Spain, International Sort)
Languages may have one or more locale which can be selected depending on your requirements. In other words, locale specific versions for date, time and currency formats.
Once you have selected your language, the Language, Country/Region Code and Icons are pre-populated for you.
In part three of this series, I will cover how to add custom languages.

Two South Yorkshire derbies, four world-class goals but, unfortunately for Doncaster Rovers, one result; a Sheffield United victory.
This game at Bramall Lane had everything; plenty of thrills, as Rovers' Kyle Bennett netted with two stunning strikes. Spills, too; both sides refused to give an inch as James Coppinger and Paul Coutts, in particular, exchanging some meaty challenges in midfield.
Indeed, for the neutral at least, the only tragedy was that Bennett's stunning brace of strikes, which momentarily hushed the home crowd and sent 1,439 Rovers fans into raptures, ultimately counted for nothing.
United, who tasted victory in the corresponding fixture at the Keepmoat when Jamie Murphy smashed home a wonderstrike from distance, began nervously and Mark Howard was forced to repel Curtis Main's header at full stretch after a good cross from Bennett.
But Howard was powerless to stop Bennett's next intervention as he curled Rovers in front on the angle. 'We are staying up', sang the jubilant Rovers fans.
They were a little quieter when Matt Done went down, fairly, under the clumsy challenge of Jamie McCombe five minutes later. Done, chasing the ball away from Stephen Bywater's goal, needed no second invitation to go down and Jose Baxter netted emphatically from the spot to level.
The first half ended with a flurry of industrial challenges and Richie Wellens was booked for one of a few late, meaty tackles. United, for the first time in weeks, left the field to rumbles of applause from their supporters and began the second half on the front foot again. The home crowd returned to its vociferous best soon after when Bywater - who hardly endeared himself to the Lane faithful by playing for Wednesday - appeared to handle outside the area, under little pressure.
The assistant referee refused to budge; so did United goalkeeper Mark Howard soon after, as Coppinger's scuffed effort lurched towards his crossbar and bounced back off it. Coppinger had earlier seen a first-time curling effort land agonisingly on the roof of Howard's goal - many of the travelling a Rovers thought it was in - and Andy Butler, who left United in acrimonious circumstances earlier this term, somehow contrived to miss an easy chance to gain revenge when he misjudged an effort at the far post.
Done then edged United ahead with a real poacher's goal from Davies' curling centre but back came Rovers and if Bennett's earlier effort was a goal of the season contender, then his second was an absolute certainty as he smashed home past Howard from all of 30 yards.
Steven Davies, on loan from relegated Blackpool, scored his first goal in United colours at the weekend in the win over Barnsley and he continued his good run of derby form with another decisive strike. The big hitman recently said he was looking forward to scoring in front of the Kop - and what a memorable effort it was as he curled home on his left foot, leaving Bywater with no chance.
Rovers continued to press forward in search of an equaliser and Butler, somehow in acres of space at the back post, couldn't direct home. Howard then had to be alert to hold onto Reece Wabara's effort from range as United held on to claim a most welcome of three points.
If all local derby days are this good; roll on Chesterfield.

To the south of Buckhorn Lake and 8kms north of Peterborough is Lake Chemung. Chemung is 14 miles long but perhaps only 2/3 – 1 mile wide. The lake extends from Fowlers Corners in the south to Curve Lake on the north and Selwyn on the east. Bridgenorth and Ennismore are located The Villages of Bridgenorth and Ennismore are located on opposite shores near the southern end of the lake, which are connected by The James A. Gifford Causeway. Despite its width Chemung holds fair depth and relatively obstruction free water for miles of pleasure cruising.
Chemung Lake, (pronounced "shi-MONG), is official spelled Chemung, although, it is quite common to see it spelled "Chemong". "Chemung", from the First Nations languages translates to Mud Lake; a name was apt in the pre Trent Canal days.
The construction of the dams and locks of the Trent-Severn Waterway significantly impacted water levels throughout the central Kawartha Lakes changing transforming low wet land, shallow lake areas forming the lake we know today.
The Curve Lakes First Nations Territory located on the northern end of the lake. This area has some of the nicest unspoiled waterfront shore line around and makes for terrific sight-seeing. The Whetung Ojibwa Art and Craft Gallery, is open year round and is a great place to purchase gifts, home décor items and art work by local First Nations Artists. Annually the Curve Lake Pow-Wow celebrations are held the third weekend in September. The event is open for all with traditional foods, dances, songs and stories!
Chemung Lake's close proximity to Peterborough and the lake-front communities that have grown up on its' shores the lake make this a popular area for year round residents of the greater Peterborough area. Canoeing, boating, windsurfing, hiking, golfing, and swimming in the fresh waters of Chemung Lake, are among the popular summer activities enjoyed by year round and season residents. Public Parks are located close to both villages.
Chemong Lake is 7/10's of a mile wide at the causeway. Early history of the area includes a short lived ferry service in the 1840 to enable travel in-between Bridgenorth and Ennismore. This proved to be too expensive for the local government of the day, to maintain. This was followed by a floating bridge that began operations in 1870. Known as the longest floating bridge in the world; locals referred to it as the "Bridge of Terror" and was replaced with a more practical causeway and bridge in 1949 and updated to what you see today in the early 1960's.
Chemong Lake is part of a 5-lake water system consisting of Chemong Lake, Buckhorn Lake, and Pigeon Lake , Big Bald Lake and Little Bald Lake. These five lakes are all navigable without lockage. The 5-lake area is host to several popular fishing tournaments throughout the all year round fishing season. The most common game fish in the lake are Smallmouth Bass, Largemouth Bass, Walleye, Muskellunge as well as a number of Panfish.

text: CHICAGO (AP) -- The "Bucket Boys" and other street musicians have been banned from a stretch of the Magnificent Mile, the city's upscale shopping district along Michigan Avenue. The City Council passed the ordinance Wednesday, with some aldermen saying the performers and the crowds they draw create a safety hazard on the sidewalks, and others saying the noise disturbs residents living in nearby condominiums. "They work hard all week, and they come home and they have the right to enjoy the peace and quiet of their apartment," said Alderman Burton Natarus, who represents the area. Opponents argued that the performers are part of the city's identity and foster the festive atmosphere. "Music is not noise," said Alderman Dorothy Tillman, who voted against the ordinance. The "Bucket Boys," teenagers who bang out catchy beats on makeshift drums, have performed during halftime at Chicago Bulls basketball games and tend to draw large street crowds along Michigan Avenue with their pickle-bucket percussion. Under the ban, they and other street musicians face $500 fines if they play within a four-block stretch that includes high-end stores, the John Hancock Building and the historic Old Water Tower, one of the few structures to survive the Great Chicago Fire and a favorite spot of the "Bucket Boys." Violators issued three citations in a year could lose their street performer licenses for a year.

Sexcastle by Kyle Starks
Back when Rock Candy Mountain started coming out last summer (?), I liked it, but didn't take to it exactly. I think it was just the subject matter. But I looked into the artist, Kyle Starks, and discovered that he has done a few other works. Sexcastle is the first one I really delved into, and I do not regret it at all.
This is one of the funniest manly-man comics I have read since Eric Powell's The Goon. It's a take-off on bad 80's detective/action movies. The art isn't for everyone, but I would suggest that, if you're up for something worth an hour or so of your time, you check this one out. I got it on the cheap from Amazon through a pre-order, but I'd bet that your better libraries would have it. Lines like "I'm going to pop your head off and use your neck for a toilet," and this gem...
...line up perfectly for someone like me, who can have a pretty juvenile sense of humor when I'm not researching history and listening to A Way With Words, admittedly.
This is a win, as far as I'm concerned!
Tarantula by Alexis Ziritt and Fabian and Evelyn Rangel
It's no secret that I have become a big fan of Fabian Rangel, Jr. in the past six months or so. Between Helena Crash, 'Namwolf, and Space Riders, I have been grabbing up all of his work I can find. I was so happy to find that he had an upcoming book for AdHouse Books called Tarantula, and I do not regret reading this at all.
Just a few minutes ago, I was saying in the "Movies I Have Seen" thread that I loved how Quentin Tarantino used the 70's grindhouse look to enhance the story in the movie Death Proof. Never once did you get the feeling that he was poking fun at those books; he was having a blast telling a story in that same style.
Here, we have the exact same thing in the book Tarantula. This is Ziritt and the Rangels' tribute to 1970's Mexican schlock movies. It doesn't make fun of them. This is definitely a tribute. The title character is a revenge-seeking action character. You get the feeling this is just a part of a series of stories, right in the middle. The characters are all familiar with each other and have pasts. She teams up here with Senor Muerte, Sombra, and Lucha Libre to take down the Penumbra Killer. I don't want to give anything away, but this is an awesome story. Just predictable enough, and with some awesome retro-ish art.
Songy of Paradise by Gary Panter
There are books that aren't for everyone. This is one of those books. I enjoyed it for what it was, a retelling in gigantic storybook form of Milton's Paradise Regained.
Here we are given the story of Jesus in the desert being tempted by Satan, only where Jesus is a hillbilly, and Satan takes on various forms of lizards and dinosaurs.
This is definitely a satire, and while I don't think most people would find much to enjoy here, I have to say that I loved the delivery in the form of a gigantic, thin hardcover book. This belongs (and will go) on my shelf alongside R. Crumb. It was enjoyable for me to read this story again (I read Milton's book back in college), but your mileage will most likely vary.
Some of these have been collected, others haven't yet, but these are my top five current non-super-hero comics.
Paper Girls
Stray Bullets
Motor Girl
Grass Kings
Eleanor and the Egret
I haven't tried Eleanor and the Egret, but I've heard and read a few reviews on it. Honestly, I haven't heard anything that makes me want to look into it, even though reviews have been positive.
While I am not caught up on Grass Kings, I have all of the issues to date. I think I read the first two. It's not out of a lack of interest that I haven't read them all, but it's all about time.
Ever since I bought Stray Bullets: Uber Alles, I haven't been caught up on this title either. Something about that mammoth volume that I just haven't tried to read it yet, which makes me automatically behind on the ongoing series.
Ghost Fleet from Dark Horse, written by Donny Cates and drawn by Daniel Warren Johnson
This one was a truly unique reading experience. The cargo of a mystical semi truck, a man whose best friend is his working partner's wife, betrayal, deals with the devil, and biker gangs all come together to create a crazy, 8-issue reading frenzy.
Has anyone else read this? I read in one of the two-volume trade treatment that it was originally meant to be twelve issues, but was shortened to eight.
Daniel Warren Johnson is now doing Extremity from Image, but this is before his rise to prominence. If you still don't know who he is, his work is definitely worth a look.
If you enjoyed Sexcastle (and I'm pretty sure I'm the only one here who did so far), then Kyle Starks did a follow-up book called Kill Them All! It is every bit as highly recommended as the first one.
It's not a sequel as much as it is a new story with the same tone. This one is about a female version of the main character in SC, but one in which she has to battle her way to the top of a skyscraper, a la The Raid: Redemption. She does this with the aid of a couple of partners, a man with some issues regarding his dad beating his mom (which is one of the sadder moments, but adds some levity) and his hook-handed professional partner.
This is a must-read if you either enjoyed Sexcastle, or if you are enjoying Rock Candy Mountain.
Stray Bullets: Uber Alles has been my downfall too! I've bought every issue of the current run (with the mini and now the ongoing, we're up to more than 30 comics) and I've put them aside until I reread Uber Alles! I need to jump on that book right quick.
It's too much of a good thing, isn't it? I have to say, I have read quite a few pages over my fall break, and Uber Alles may have to be my next goal over either Thanksgiving or Winter Break. (Although I still have an embarrassing amount of other books to read--Buzzkill, Space Mullet, Doc Unknown...)
Rob Staeger (Grodd Mod) said:

I wish I could motivate you guys, but I already did a re-reading thread last year:
And a blog entry summary:
I know! And I've been meaning to get to it, too! (Thanks for the links, so I don't have to go searching again...)
This may be TMI -- oh, hell, it's certainly TMI -- but Uber Alles fails in the most crucial metric of "comfortable to read on the toilet." Shoulda gotten it in digital.

Budget Living: Living On Minimum Wage
After four years at Apartment Therapy, I'm still surprised by the comments along the lines of the following: "I just don't understand how as an adult with a job, one can be so specific as to what they want. Everything I want, I have already bought for myself." I thought we might take a moment to explore what home life is for the 1.6 million of our fellow citizens making $7.25/hour...
These are my best estimates for how monthly income and costs would break down for someone on minimum wage. There are a million variables and complications at play here, obviously, but wherever possible I used the lowest cost option available.
- Federal Minimum Wage: $7.25/hour
- # of states/territories where minimum wage is =/< the federal: 26
- $7.25/hour x 40hours/week = $290/week before income taxes
- $290/week x 52weeks/year = $15,080/year before income taxes
- Annual Income After Taxes: approximately $13,572 (very approximately!)
- Funds Available Per Month: $1,131 (approximately)
- Electricity: $73+/month- at least in Idaho, the cheapest state for electricity according to NPR
- Rent: $700+/month- Louisville, KY is ranked as one of the Top 10 Cheapest Cities To Rent An Apartment, and the median rent there is $727/month
- Water: $20/month- from what I gather, most households pay $10-30/month
- Health Insurance: In many states, this level of income qualifies citizens for Medicaid- but not all. Unfortunately, this complicates the calculation process, but by bumping up the income to $16,000, I was able to come up with annual premium costs of $539/year, or $44/month
- Public Transportation: A monthly pass is $64 in Milwaukee, $80 in Dallas, $60 in Indianapolis (all in Federal Minimum Wage states), so lets say $70/month
So, with just the basics of shelter, electricity, water, health insurance, and transportation, we're already up to $907/month. That leaves $224 for food, gas/propane heat (an enormous cost in cold climates), cleaning products, laundry, boring essentials (toilet paper, period accessories, etc), phone and/or internet, medications not covered by insurance, work clothes and shoes, retirement, student loans, credit card debt, and all the other countless costs that add up so quickly.
But these numbers are very approximate, and basically theoretical - I'd love to hear from those of you actually living on minimum wage. How do you make it work - or doesn't it? What household items that many take for granted have you had to give up? Have you been able to find dirt-cheap housing, and if so, what is your place like? Can you afford heat in the winter and a fan in the summer? How do you keep your household running, and is it sustainable?

Not For The Squeamish
'The Squeeze' has a bit of a reputation as an under-appreciated classic but, for me, although it has its moments and a great cast, it simply isn't dynamic or consistent enough to be anything other than an interesting also ran. The superb Stacy Keach plays Jim Naboth, a Scotland Yard detective turned private investigator turned skid row alcoholic. When his ex-wife is kidnapped as a prelude to a million pound security van heist, Naboth gets dragged back into the game, ultimately overcoming his problems temporarily to prove more than a match for his ruthless opponents.
As well as Mr. Keach, who maintains a good but rather too generic English accent throughout, we get Edward Fox, Stephen Boyd, Alan Ford, Roy Marsden, Carol White and, playing a real bastard, Island favourite David Hemmings. Freddie Starr plays Naboth's best mate in a stilted and uncomfortable performance that was inexplicably praised at the time, perhaps simply because Freddie confounded expectations and didn't do it dressed as Hitler.
It's an interesting story, sleazy and violent, but it has far too many characters and is too fond of going off at tangents, which is fine if you are Raymond Chandler, but just seems untidy here. The film is building nicely to a climax, for example, when for no particular reason, it takes a ten minute diversion for a scene set in a massage parlour which is amusing, but completely diffuses the tension and derails the narrative. Director Michael Apted seems too keen to give it a documentary feel, so there are very few 'compositions' - it's all filmed on the hoof, and seems slightly scruffy and muddled, as if the action is always at the corner of the screen.
Somewhere in 'The Squeeze' there is a first rate crime film waiting to get out, or, at least, a bloody good episode of 'The Sweeney', but it's thirty years too late to do it now. Don't be put off by that, though, it's still worth watching, if only for some of the trousers.

Stockholm, September 29, 2015
As a representative of active institutional investors, the GES engagement team is actively involved in shareholder engagement and voting at general meetings on behalf of its clients. We believe that the latest OECD Principles of Corporate Governance will further the responsible investment agenda and strengthen stewardship activities across the globe. We are convinced that voting and constructive engagement led by active and informed share owners and their representatives are an integral part to the efficient working of capital markets. Many studies show that well-governed companies create more value over the long-term. That's why robust frameworks for corporate governance benefit all market participants.
GES welcomes the recommendations across the Principles' six chapters. The emphasis on the rights of a range of stakeholders and their role in corporate wealth creation is an important addition to the Principles. We also regard as a positive development the creation of a new chapter on institutional investors, stock markets and other intermediaries. It is a well-formulated attempt to address the issue of aligning incentives throughout the investment chain leading from ultimate beneficiaries to companies. The chapter encourages a movement towards greater transparency on the part of institutional investors, companies and stock markets, which should in our view help principals to hold their agents to account and enhance the quality of decision-making.
The renewal of the Principles may be timely. We have seen a notable resurgence of differential voting rights in various markets, most recently in France (the expansion of double voting rights with the Macron law) and Italy (the introduction of loyalty shares). We consider that these developments have reduced transparency of ownership and more generally undermined minority shareholders' rights to influence investee companies. The Principles now emphasise the importance of the equitable treatment of shareholders, including in the area of voting rights, and we consider that policymakers, shareholders and companies should give them due weight before similar legislation is passed in other markets.
GES fully supports the updated G20/OECD Principles and agrees with the OECD Secretary-General that their implementation may contribute to "better corporate governance as a key element of trust and confidence of our citizens in companies and markets".

Luke Borean made a series of great saves. Picture Albert Perez
...but players "disappointed" with point
SUNSHINE Coast became only the third team this season to take points off league-leaders Moreton Bay United following a 1-1 draw at Sunshine Coast Stadium.
Fire leading goalscorer Jacob Fulluck netted the opener early in the second half for the hosts before Jets' Jordan Farina delivered the equaliser with 20 minutes remaining.
The draw marks the end of a five game losing streak for Fire across all competitions in their first home game for over a month.
A strong breeze from the south affected both teams in the opening exchanges as clear cut chances came at a premium.
Fire delivered the first opportunity of note midway through the half as Ray Schultz forced Jets goalkeeper Luke Borean into a sharp one-on-one save.
Shortly after Reyze Kelly came close as his free kick curled wide of the target before Jets veteran Royce Brownlie forced the first save of the afternoon from Fire goalkeeper Dale Hill.
Jets best chance of the half came just before the break when Liam Previtera played in Jackson Hall, however the Jets attacker sent his styled shot over the crossbar.
Further chances were spurned by both sides as Brownlie and Takumi Kinoshita both failed to find the target - the teams going into the half-time break locked at nil-all.
Fire upped the tempo after the restart and soon opened the scoring via Fulluck, who delivered a composed finish across Borean after breaking down the right for his seventh goal of the campaign.
However, Jets very nearly delivered an immediate reply has Fire goalkeeper Dale Hill denied an angled strike from Charles Mendy.
The sides continued to exchange attacks as Fire's Kenya Takahashi and Jets' Stephen Green called upon the goalkeeper to make telling saves, before Takahashi struck the post on the hour.
The leveller finally came for Jets when Ryota Nakaooka's cross found substitute Farina, who delivered a top corner finish for his second goal off the bench in two games
Both sides saw late chances to claim the winner but proved unsuccessful as Fulluck was denied by a desperate tackle and Farina forced a point-saving stop from Hill.
Speaking post-match, Jets coach Adam Piddick credited Fire with making life difficult for the league-leaders throughout the match.
"You could say it's a good point but at the end of the day the boys are disappointed in there - which is a good sign, they don't accept second-best," he said.
Fire striker Fulluck said being back at home was an important factor in ending Fire's recent run of losses.
"We need the locals to come out and support us (and) give us momentum in the coming weeks to snatch wins in the last dying minutes," he said.

Indonesia Online Casino
Online casino depositing players in Indonesia have many options in terms of the funding of their real money casino accounts online. There are many casino sites in Indonesia that cater to the casino players banking needs. But the online casino players in Indonesia also have access to other international sites, which may lend better options to play seamlessly without any hitches related to depositing or withdrawing money from your account.
Best Indonesian Online Casino
Each site offers different options on how they accept deposits. But then each method would have its upside and downside. So before actually using one particular deposit method in funding your real money online casino account, make sure that you study all the options available to you in order to make sure that you benefit from your choice.
Indonesia Online Casino Deposits
Most online casino players in Indonesia use a credit card to fund their online casino account. Most of the online casino sites found in Indonesia accept deposits from both Visa and Mastercard. You would only need to provide your name and your credit card number, after which your request will be processed right away. One benefit when using a credit card for the real money deposit would be that your transaction will be processed immediately. That way you will have instant access to your funds with no further delays or verifications done. However one downside to using a credit card to fund your online casino account would be the fees that come with it. Most of the credit card institutions consider deposits to online casino accounts as cash advances. This means that you will need to pay big fees and high interest rates because of this transaction. In order to avoid having to pay these fees and very high interest rates, make sure to check with the credit card company if they would be charging high rates for making deposits to a gambling site found online. Make sure that you know the additional costs that would be charged to you if you opt to use this method.
For those in Indonesia making a casino deposit, some banks allow direct money transfers from the customer's bank account to an online casino account. This is really good because there are no transaction fees when using this sort of method. However the funds will not be ready for use immediately. It will take about 4 to 5 days before you can actually have the funds ready in your account for use in most instances. Because of this, many of the online casino players in Indonesia prefer to use a method that gives them access to funds faster.
Another good method would be by using an online third party payment processor. This is a good alternative to the usual credit card and bank transfer methods. This sort of service allows the players to make deposits to their online casino account from a third party account. This is good in a sense that the player would not need to divulge their personal information to the gambling sites. This adds to the level of security because only the third party would know your personal financial details, such as your credit card numbers or bank account numbers. It is very important to consider the level of security because regardless of where you post your credit card information, there is always a risk involved. Third party payment processors allow you to minimize the risks associated with your account and therefore enjoy long-term safe play!

Woman celebrates 101st birthday with family and friends
Born on Sept. 24, 1909, in Amsterdam, N.Y., Sophie Murawski was the fourth of six surviving girls born to John and Valentyna Murawski.
At an early age, Murawski and her family moved to New Britain, Conn., where she began working for Landers, Frary and Clark, a factory known for its household appliances, including stoves, coffeemakers and toasters. In the late 1950s, Murawski, who never married, retired from Landers and moved to Los Angeles to live with a sister and niece.
Before moving to the Elms Convalescent Hospital in Glendale, where she has been a resident since October 2002, she lived in Atwater Village. Throughout the years, Murawski has loved to tat, and was an avid fan of baseball, television sitcoms and playing solitaire and, admittedly, she has an insatiable taste for chocolate! Her niece, Pamela Smith, a resident of Glendale, is her only known surviving relative.

This is yet another try at Happy Orange with my Annatto infusion. You know Happy Orange, that sort of yellow orange pureed carrot color.. I am on a mission to get that color for a soap I have in mind. I know I've seen people get it with Annatto, however admittedly, I tend to be light handed with color so maybe the next try I'll nail it. I thought I had it this time for sure-or maybe I need to switch over to the powder so the color is not so diluted as in an infusion. Oy!
Yellow or Happy Orange? What do you think? The Mister says yellow, I say almost Happy Orange.. help solve the debate. or maybe it's just wishing on my part.. I do think I'm getting closer though-don't you?
The results are in...buttery yellow I'd say. So, either I'm still not using enough Annatto or I need to try the powder (maybe my infusion is too diluted to get orange) I am loving the yellow and think I will use it in another soap I have planned for sure. If you want the perfect buttery yellow-an Annatto infusion is the way to go.
Question to those of you who get orange with Annatto-what am I doing wrong? Is it because I am not using the powder? Heeeeeelp!! Okay, someone gave me the scoop on how they do it, so once my Annatto seeds get here-operation "happy orange" is on.

Seita Jongebloed's favorite part of her position as Vice President of Martha Turner Sotheby's International Realty is helping agents develop their careers - one listing and one buyer at a time.Both seasoned and new agents seek out her guidance on questions from pricing property to handling the those challenging issues that sometimes arise. She especially enjoys collaborating with agents to achieve win-win solutions for their clients.
Seita began her career as an attorney with a boutique law firm, Hargis & Harpold, which represented real estate brokers across Texas. She became well-versed in "best practices" for Texas brokers, and honed skills such as contract drafting and negotiation. The firm also served as outside counsel for HAR, providing a behind-the-scenes view of Realtor ethical duties and cooperative compensation rules. More recently, Seita was on the management team as General Counsel for a leading local brokerage firm. She was privileged to work closely with many new agents along their journeys to become top producers.
"We are so incredibly lucky to have Seita as a Vice President at MTSIR. She is knowledgeable, thorough, approachable, smart, kind and always willing to help. Seita helps me to be a better agent and to represent my clients to the best of my ability." Suzann C. Richardson
"In addition to Seita's extensive knowledge of the legal aspects of real estate, she has the amazing ability of getting to the fundamental core of a deal and helping me to get it closed to the mutual satisfaction of all parties. Even after all of my years in the business, it is without saying that a quick glance of an offer or contract by Seita is at the top of my checklist which allows me the added confidence to move to closing." Dee Dee Guggenheim Howes
To recharge, Seita enjoys being outdoors, watching her kids on the playing field or on stage, and reading everything from classical literature to pinterest. She loves travel, especially to scuba dive or snow ski with her family. She volunteers with her children's schools, her church, and with various animal rescue groups. In addition, she has volunteered with many committees of the Houston Association of Realtors.
