Issues cropped up anew concerning the proposed Kantakoy Dam which is to be situated between the municipalities of Danao and Inabanga; various concerns raised during the Executive Committee Meeting of the Provincial Development Council (PDC) Tuesday.
The proposed Kantakoy Dam is a P1 billion Hydropower Project which would be set up in between the Wahig River of Inabanga and Cabatuan, Danao, would have an 8 megawatt (MW) capacity and could be an important and reliable source of electricity, an important element in the development plans of the province.
Second District Board Members Roygie Jumamoy and Romulo Cepedoza voiced out their passionate concerns regarding the project which, they said, did not go through the usual processes as expected by the local government officials of Bohol.
The projects proponents namely: the Quadriver Energy Corporation, the Sta. Clara Power Corp. and the Sta. Clara International Corp., which are all under the Ayala Group of Companies, have requested an audience from the Office of the Governor earlier to formally present their group at the PDC, of which PDC Chair Gov. Edgar M. Chatto granted.
However, during the course of the discussion, fundamental albeit very important issues cropped up: like the completion of the Environmental Compliance Certificate (ECC) from the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), municipal boundaries, social issues, and compliance with LGU resolutions, rules and regulations.
Board Members Jumamoy and Cepedoza however pointed out to the body that their respective LGUs were not properly informed and kept posted on the projects developments since it asked for a permission to conduct a Feasibility Study (FS) back in 2004 from LGU-Inabanga, when BM Jumamoy was still the municipal mayor.
Provincial Planning and Development Officer John Vistal also attested that the project was not taken up for discussions during previous PDCs at the time of the previous administration.
Moreover, BM Cepedoza informed that previous agreements on profit-sharing of the project are clearly kaput as Atty. Ryan Acosta, Quadrivers Legal Counsel, admitted that the Kantakoy Project is now a 100% Independent Power Producer (IPP).
BM Jumamoy pointed out that a Geo-feasibility Test is now being done in Inabanga for the project but still, nobody can fault LGU officials of their apprehensions and on insisting that they must be properly and formally informed of its progress; but however clarified that they are not objecting to it especially if it would benefit the people of Bohol.
For his part, Provincial Environment and Natural Resources Officer (PENRO) Nestor Canda said that his office was not involved in the issuance of the projects ECC; for in its preparation, two studies must first be needed to be done: namely; a Feasibility Study and an Environmental Impact Study which are under the office of the DENR Regional Director. They are tasked to issue the ECC, considering the amount and depth of the project.
When asked why they were not informed earlier when the project was still in its preparation stage, and why the proponents have not properly coordinated with the LGUs and the Provincial Government; Atty. Acosta revealed that they merely complied with the instructions given by the Department of Energy, and presumed that compliance thereof would lend legitimacy to their group in seeing the project through to its completion and implementation.
In resolving the concerns raised, Gov. Chatto requested Atty. Acosta and his team to have all the projects papers ready for perusal by the Council on its next meeting. He tasked the secretariat to set a date for meeting to clarify all issues and concerns and to the satisfaction of all those involved in the project. (EdCom-Bohol)

With its palm trees and beautiful white sandy beaches, Akumal is a quiet, relaxing paradise and one of the most tucked away gems in the Riviera Maya.

Akumal is situated on 3 beautiful bays and features pristine tropical reefs, caves and underground rivers for travelers to enjoy.

"land of the turtles"
. So it comes as no surprise that visitors can find a variety of sea turtles as well as other forms of amazing marine life on Akumal's beautiful coral reefs and underwater walls.
Just north of Akumal is the spectacular, environmentally protected
Yalku Lagoon
filled with fish, corals and sea life which is ideal for snorkeling. At present, the Yalku Lagoon area is set up in a rustic fashion with minimal amenities and a nominal admission fee is charged.
recommends visitors make it a point to take advantage and see this pristine, natural sight now since it is slated for major development in the near future.

Price increase
Posted by Reviewer1590074 on Sep 05, 2012
What a price increase: Almost 4 USD, more than 13% since I ordered mine less than a month ago! This new price makes it unfeasible for all your Norwegian customers to purchase this product, since the order value must be less than 34 USD to avoid customs. I was going to reorder, but now I can't.
I got hooked on by the good ratings!

I ordered two jars of this honey in hope of getting some benefits from the honey. Well, you know. Manuka honey is supposed to be helpful for many alignments. However, it wasn't until i googled "Manuka honey fake" that I found this brand doesn't really belong to a part of the licensed companies of UMFHA. And in some tests their honey was even found to have contained almost none of the good stuff that you would expect to find in real UMF honey. People! Don't be fooled by the "Active 16+" written on the jar. Just simply google it and you will know what i mean.
We cannot find any benefits
Posted by Reviewer2989700 on Sep 25, 2012
I bought some Manuka Honey Active 16+ because my friends are suffering from acidic reflux. However both of them reported Manuka Honey Active 16+ cannot help. Sorry I will not reorder again.

The product I received does not look nor taste as expexted. Eve colour is completely different. But the label is correct. I ordered it here for the second time. It was perfect then, but not now. Do not know who to blame nor what to say
Made me feel sick
Posted by AnkaMaria07 on Jan 06, 2015
I do tolerate honey very well, even though I have a lot of allergies. Not this one! Made my throat swell, and my gut literally hurt. I tried taken it in smaller amounts, 1 teaspoon per day, the same results. Also the smell is really bad , like the honey from supermarkets that is full of preservatives and glucose syrup. I usually buy my honey from local producers that have bee hives, never had any problems, never smell such horibble honey. I doubt this is the real thing, sorry.

At long last, the die is cast. After repeatedly saying that Chief Justice Renato Corona need not take the witness stand in the impeachment trial against him, his counsel, out of the blue, assured the Senate that the CJ will take the witness stand.
The promise though appeared to have a condition: that is, that the Complainants against the CJ in a pending complaint in the Ombudsman, to wit, former Akbayan Representative Risa Hontiveros-Baraquel and Rep. Walden Bello, together with Harvey Keh, and no less than Ombudsman Conchita Carpio-Morales; should be subpoenaed by the Senate to appear purportedly as hostile witnesses in the impeachment trial. After which, the CJ's counsel promised that his client will take the stand to rebut what these witnesses may say. This is interesting. While the nation has been left wondering about an alleged 700,0000 dollar account with PS Bank allegedly belonging to the CJ and yet undeclared in his SALN, the nation gasped with horror at the possibility that the CJ may have a lot more in his dollar accounts. In fact, the amount is mind-boggling: 10 Million or at least 420 Million pesos at today's exchange rate.
There's an obvious difference between the circumstances behind the 700,000-dollar placement and this later 10 Million deposit. In the case of the smaller amount, it was the Prosecution that asked the Court to subpoena PS bank to bring and present to the Court the documentary evidence for such an account. When asked by the Court where the Prosecution obtained its information about the account, the Prosecution panel claimed that a "small lady" in the gallery of the Senate gave it to Rep. Reynaldo Umali. It would later turn out that Rep. Jorge Banal of Quezon City had previously gone to the Katipunan branch of PS Bank to inquire about this 700,000-dollar account. Rep. Banal in turn, claimed that an unknown person left the documents at his residence.
The Supreme Court then came to the rescue of the embattled CJ when in a petition filed by PS Bank, the Court issued an indefinite temporary restraining order which effectively stopped the impeachment court from compelling the bank to produce all relevant documents relative to the $700,000 account. This time, the $10 Million dollar deposit was not even by reason of any document, even information, provided by the Prosecutors. Instead, what is clear on the basis of newspaper reports are: One, as alleged by veteran Journalist Ellen Tordesillas in a story published by Vera files, the Ombudsman allegedly had asked the Anti-Money Laundering Council to provide her with a copy of the documents establishing that the CJ has an undisclosed amount in dollar deposits in undisclosed banks. This, according to Tordesillas, the Ombudsman did in response to the complaint filed by Hontiveros et al.
Two, in a story carried exclusively by the Philippine Daily Inquirer, the CJ was allegedly asked by the Ombudsman to explain in writing within 72 hours how he acquired several peso and dollar accounts, described as "grossly disproportionate" to his salary. Quoting from Carpio's order, the PDI reported that the CJ was allegedly asked to explain, among others, how he acquired dollar deposits with an "aggregate amount of at least US$10,000,000".
It was because of this second story that Senators Miriam Defensor-Santiago opined that the Ombudsman could conduct a parallel investigation with the impeachment court on the CJ's concealed dollar deposits. Senator Edgardo Angara , for his part, said that the impeachment court could accept evidence emanating from the Ombudsman in this regard. The legal basis for both Senators' opinions is found in the Ombudsman law, which provides that the said office may investigate even impeachable officers for the purpose of recommending to Congress the initiation of impeachment against them.
Apparently, this was the game changer. While the CJ, through his lawyers, lawyers ignored the show cause letter of the Ombudsman arguing that the said office has no jurisdiction over an impeachable officer such as the Chief Justice, the results of such an investigation was nonetheless, the reason why the CJ will now take the stand. According to his counsel last Tuesday evening, this was to "rebut the testimonies" of Hontiveros and the Ombudsman et al, which presumably, will be adverse to the CJ. Obviously the nation will be glued to the proceedings specially when the Ombudsman takes the stand, which she has said she will. And the obvious question will no longer be whether such a huge deposit exists, which for all intents and purposes, appear to be admitted. The issue now is why he did not declare such an amount and how he acquired this huge sum.
The plot thickens. It's definitely more fun in the Philippines!

Several weeks ago we were speaking about the recreational element of field hockey. In other words, are there viable recreation opportunities to play field hockey for all ages of athletes especially those who are post collegiate? We already have in place two programs specifically for youngsters ranging from 5 to 11 years of age. Both of those programs, Stick Starz and Turf Tykes, are experiencing exploding success in 2010. Ask USA Field Hockey's Laura Darling. She is reporting 55 inquiries to produce events so far with an eventual goal of 1,000 kids participating in 2010, a completely do-able goal. We even have Stick Starz and Turf Tykes events in both Harlem and the Bronx. But instead of saying What about the Children?, maybe we should be saying What about the Adults? Or, better yet, What about Everyone?
Sandy Kinnee, CEO for Dita, is an artist by trade and genuinely innovative. Sandy attended one of our creative meetings last week. David Miller, USA Field Hockey Manager of Membership and Events, conducted the meeting. The purpose was to begin the process of developing programs for event organizers to partner with USA Field Hockey. It occurs to us that there are a fair number of existing organizers producing events outside of the purview of USA Field Hockey. David's approach is to create a business proposition for event organizers to become involved with our association. The involvement is meant to provide event organizers budget relief, top shelf insurance for comprehensive protection, and mechanisms to be qualifiers for some of our already over-subscribed USA Field Hockey owned events. David spent several hours during the previous week talking to private event organizers in various locales throughout the USA. His discussions were about determining needs and what USA Field Hockey can bring to the table for organizers. The major issues for organizers seem to be acquiring facilities for venue use, insurance, any type of budget relief that could be found and adding cachet to an event by being a qualifier. All of those items are do-able and David is working on a package for 2011 that we will unwrap for your examination by mid-summer. In addition, David has developed a boilerplate pro-forma for event directors to demonstrate profitability. All great stuff for existing and/or newly minted event producers.
In the meantime, back to Sandy and his creative meanderings. Sandy was obviously quite enthralled with the possibilities of re-establishing recreational outlets for everyone to play field hockey. He told me that hockey, played recreationally, was found liberally in many pockets of the USA in the 70s and 80s. What happened? Maybe we became spoiled by always wanting turf. It makes one wonder what was taking place before artificial turf was introduced. Whatever and however, Sandy has created a top-of-mind version of a poster encouraging hockey playing by families no matter if the game is on turf, or grass, or indoors. It is a great start for re-introducing a great sport to the mainstream.
This poster is an initial effort. Do you have suggestions to modify or improve what Sandy produced? Let me know. (firstname.lastname@example.com)
USA Field Hockey's website (www.usafieldhockey.com) is being modified. Jeff Gamza, USA Field Hockey Communications Director, has made subtle changes to our website. If you go to the site by hitting the link provided above you will note a new blog section with numerous bloggers, including members of our National Teams, who offer a unique perspective from the players' side. In the recent Women's National Team tour to Argentina, Rachel Dawson and Michelle Kasold wrote blogs and Katie Evans even provided some great video of the team off the pitch. An avid photographer, goalkeeper Jackie Kintzer snapped some action photos. Also, Jeff is making concerted efforts to update all areas of the site, so expect more features, more stories and more photos soon.
The Men. The men of this sport have been stepping it up. Even with a shortage of men available to play Canada in our recent series, our men turned in respectable performances, albeit losing efforts. Canada has qualified to go to the upcoming India Honda FIH Men's World Cup (the USA did not qualify), but the USA gave them a run for the money. Nick Conway, USA Field Hockey Men's National Team coach, was quite encouraged and sees good progression as the men's pool of athletes increases. Nick was particularly impressed with the performances turned in by the U17 Men's Team competing in Mexico for the Pan American Youth Championship. The men took a silver medal and looked sharp during the Gold Medal round, losing to Argentina 2-1. The USA men held Argentina to 0-0 at half-time. Ben Maruquin was the USA coach, and orchestrated powerful strategy against the Argentinean team. Good going, guys!
Assuming you have been paying attention to the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics, I hope you are saying "How about those Americans!" While the USOC did not provide an Olympic medal projection for these games, it appears the American Team is on track to set a record for medals won. The newer sports, such as Snowboard Cross, are just big fun to watch; and traditional sports, such as Speed Skating and Alpine Downhill, are also big fun because they are all high speed technical adventures. While some people may from time to time criticize the Olympic Games, the reality is that they aren't just some set of games: they are meaningful as people come together peacefully to compete in a cultural setting that may be totally different to their own way of living. It helps us, as athletes and observers, become a little more accepting of others; and, that really is the point.
Many of us on the Olympic summer side have been in regular contact with our winter brethren/sisteren (I don't think sisteren is a word; I just made it up but you get the point). The winter group is buoyant as many of the medals have been surprises.
From CBS' Late Show with David Letterman: "The Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show at Madison Square Garden is tonight. One of the big events is the "Going Nuts When the Doorbell Rings" competition. Tomorrow night is "Barking at a Dog on TV."
And, from Jimmy Kimmel Live!: "The Winter Olympics are under way in Canada. Skiing, snowboarding, ice-skating, these are not sports. They're vacation activities. I feel like I'm watching someone's home movies."
Have a great week!

"nfl tv blows waste of $$$$ "
A SWEET 6-1 MLK Day showing included a pair of NEVER-IN-DOUBT WINNERS in the pros, the Wizards & Warriors. That brings Ben Burns to a RIDICULOUS 16-2 his L18 NBA, a SICK 8-1 his last nine. For 2017, he's an INSANE 22-4 ATS. No surprise there, as Ben's NBA has been M-O-N-E-Y for years and also WON HUGE in 2016.
Both these teams are off high-scoring games and games here have been pretty high-scoring all season. That said, an O/U line of six gives us a lot of room to work with. Keep in mind that the Stars average only 2.5 goals per road game.
When these teams met a little over a month ago, at Dallas, the O/U line was 5.5. (It opened at 5.5u125 and closed at 5.5u15.) The result? A 2-0 final score. Nine of the Stars' last 13 visits to MSG have also fallen below the number.
The Stars, who have seen seven of 11 "non-conference" games stay below the total, will be playing a road game with an O/U line of six for just the second time. The first? A 2-1 final at Nashville. Don't be surprised if this one also proves a little lower-scoring than expected.
Ben Burns was 6-1 on Monday, including a PERFECT 3-0 on the ice. Through the first 16 days of 2017, he's now 62-34 overall, good for 18.8 net units of profit. Over the past few seasons, Burns has delivered more than 57 net winners of pure NHL profit. His latest "Personal Favorite" goes today!

- Breastfeeding Peer Counselor Training: "Loving Support Through Peer Counseling" training is scheduled at 4 regional sites in October and November. This is a mandatory training for new peer counselors, but we have had an interest in other WIC staff wanting to attend. This training is on basic breastfeeding and counseling skills, using 3 Step Counseling, and is similar to the Breastfeeding Coordinator training. Only staff that has never attended a State WIC breastfeeding training would benefit from attending. To register for this training, please complete the attached registration form and email to email@example.com or fax to 573-526-1470.
- Cheese Description Change: Effective September 1, 2008, the Missouri WIC program will approve two sizes of cheese (8 oz and 16 oz). The 32-oz cheese will no longer be approved as of October 1, 2008.
Checks printed in August will read "CHEESE - STORE BRAND/GENERIC".
Checks printed in September will read "CHEESE-STORE BRAND 8-16 OZ SIZE ".
Participants may purchase either one 16-ounce cheese package or two 8-ounce cheese packages at WIC vendors according to the description written on their checks. Please share this change with your staff and advise your participants. If you have any questions, please contact Takako Tagami at firstname.lastname@example.com.
- Spending Down End of Year Money: Do you have money remaining in your budget as we approach the end of FY08? How can you use these funds to effectively communicate nutrition messages to your WIC participants? A suggestion is to provide a copy of the beautiful new full color cookbook, Let's Cook with Fruits & Vegetables: Vamos a Cocinar con Frutas y Verduras, to every WIC family.
This cookbook, on display at the recent National WIC Association Conference, includes over 60 simple recipes in English and Spanish, some from WIC participants. Many include WIC authorized foods, such as the Pineapple Smoothie, Split Pea Soup, and Cheesy Vegetables. Many more recipes include foods that will be on the new Missouri food list in FY 2010, such as Tofu Dip, Barley Vegetable Medley, Fruit and Yogurt Parfait, Vegetable Burrito with whole-wheat tortillas, and Baked Sweet Potato Fries. A 30 book minimum order will cost about $100. Ordering information is attached. Contact Rita Arni at email@example.com or at 573.751.8159 with questions.
- New Nutrition Education Handout: The WIC State office developed a new nutrition education handout titled: "Relief from Common Problems of Pregnancy" (#51). This handout is designed to provide information about some of the most common complaints during pregnancy, such as nausea and vomiting, heartburn, and constipation. It also provides women with specific remedies to minimize the discomfort and complaints. This handout (English version) is being printed and will be available at the DHSS warehouse in 3-4 weeks. It is also being translated into 11 languages. We will notify you when they are available. If you have any suggestions and/or questions, please contact Takako Tagami at email@example.com.
- Translated Version of WIC Approved Food List: The Missouri WIC Approved Food List is being translated into various languages. The following are available in PDF this week: 1) Bosnian version, 2) Russian version, and 3) Ukrainian version. Please feel free to make copies as needed. The WIC food list in these languages will not be available at the DHSS warehouse. If you have any suggestions or questions, please contact Takako Tagami at firstname.lastname@example.com.
- Fit WIC Missouri Evaluation: We are nearing the end of our second year of statewide implementation of Fit WIC Missouri, a program to prevent childhood overweight in the WIC community. Sixty nine percent of local WIC providers wrote a Fit WIC MO goal, objective, or strategy in the FY08 LAP, compared to 53% in FY07. Congratulations to the Eastern District who had the highest agency participation rate at 100%.
Each local WIC provider that participated in Fit WIC MO in FY08 is asked to complete the attached Evaluation (Table 8). Any agency that wrote a goal, objective, strategy or activity in the FY08 LAP should complete the evaluation. On the attached form, simply check the nutrition and physical activity goals that your agency selected in FY08, report how many participants selected each goal and how many were successful at making the behavior change. Then check which activity to support WIC staff or which community activity your agency selected and give a brief report of the results. A few open-ended questions give you the opportunity to tell us what is working well for you and what barriers you are experiencing as you implement Fit WIC MO. Return this electronically to Rita Arni at email@example.com no later than September 30, 2008.
- Tuna Can Size Change: Several manufacturers have notified the WIC State office that they are changing the tuna can-size from 6 oz to 5 oz. Therefore, the description of tuna in the HANDS system has been revised to allow participants to purchase tuna in 5-oz cans or in 6-oz cans. Below is the new description for tuna effective August 12, 2008:
Please share this change with your staff and notify breastfeeding mothers who are receiving enhanced breastfeeding food packages. Instructions for creating an OTH food package will be included in the WIC UPDATE on August 18, 2008. If you have suggestions and/or questions, please contact Takako Tagami at email@example.com.

John Elway Autographed Memorabilia and Collectibles
Former Denver Broncos icon, John Elway is regarded as one of the NFL's all-time greatest quarterbacks and is statistically the second best passer in league history. Throughout his impressive 16-year NFL career, Elway won brought the Broncos two Super Bowl championships and was named Super Bowl XXXIII MVP. Earning Denver to six trips to the AFC Championship and five Super Bowl appearances, the nine-time Pro Bowl selection and 1987 AP NFL MVP was also the winningest starting quarterback ever at the time of his retirement.
Before joining the NFL, John Elway played college football at Stanford University. The All-American quarterback led the Cardinals to much success during his NCAA football career, despite falling just short of the Hall of Fame Classic bowl game and the Heisman Trophy during his senior season. Upon graduating, Elway held just about every Stanford and Pac-10 conference record for a quarterback, which eventually earned him a place in the College Football Hall of Fame.
Despite being selected with the first overall pick of the 1983 NFL Draft by the Baltimore Colts, John Elway got his start in professional football with the Broncos when he was immediately traded to Denver. Although he was one of the most anticipated players of his draft class to enter the NFL, Elway struggled to emerge as a prolific young NFL quarterback in his early career. By the 1986 NFL season, Elway managed to lead the Broncos to Super Bowl XXI as he engineered a 98-yard drive for a game-tying touchdown in the AFC Championship game, known as 'The Drive" and one of the greatest moments in NFL history. Although the Broncos fell to the Giants during Elway's first Super Bowl appearances, the quarterback returned the following season to win the prestigious NFL Most Valuable Player Award and take Denver to a second consecutive Super Bowl appearance. With another loss at the championship to fuel the fire, Elway once again led the Denver Broncos to the Big Game after the 1989 season, in which his team went down in a miserable loss to the 49ers.
Just as his many critics began to doubt that John Elway would ever win a Super Bowl ring during his career, the Broncos quarterback reached his fourth championship after the 1997 season. At Super Bowl XXXII, Elway brought the Broncos their first Super Bowl title with a victory over the Green Bay Packers. The very next season, the Denver Broncos returned to the Big Game and repeated as champions courtesy of Elway's heroics that earned him the Super Bowl XXIII MVP title.
Notorious for his 4th quarter comebacks and leading the Broncos to back-to-back Super Bowl championships, John Elway retired from the NFL as one of the most decorated quarterbacks in football history. The prestigious list of Elway's accomplishments includes Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year, Walter Camp Man of the Year, NFL 1990s All-Decade Team, five-time AFC Champion, and nine-time Pro Bowl selection. The two-time Super Bowl champion also has one of the best winning percentages ever and is tied for the most Pro Bowl appearances. In honor of his illustrious career and huge impact on the sport, John Elway's famous #7 was retired by the Broncos and the legendary quarterback was enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2004.
Commemorate the career of a true football legend with authentic John Elway memorabilia to feature in your dedicated sports room or NFL collection. With a list of iconic achievements to his name, sports collectibles with a John Elway autograph are extremely valuable and are a worthy asset for anyone. Immortalized a hero of the game in your personal sports collection or find a unique sports gift for a die-hard Denver Broncos fan by shopping the top-selling pieces of John Elway memorabilia.

Stitched with the Hall of Famer's famous #7 and name, as well as official Denver Broncos colors, there's no better ode to an all-time great than a John Elway signed jersey to display with pride in any home or office.
- John Elway Autographed Footballs: Being one the elite passers in NFL history and the only player to throw for over 3,000 yards while rushing for over 200 yards in seven straight seasons, a John Elway signed football is the perfect centerpiece for any NFL collection. The quarterback's 300 career touchdown passes places him fifth all-time in league history, making the value of a John Elway autographed ball ever-growing and the perfect investment for all sports collectors and NFL fans.
- John Elway Signed Helmets: After completing a career that put the Broncos franchise on the map as one of football's biggest competitors, a John Elway autographed helmet is an absolute must-have for die-hard Denver fans.

Coach USA bus accident closes Route 60
Weekend recruitment
At the Cassadaga Fire Department, pizza was served. In Forestville, firefighters grilled hot dogs to go with macaroni and potato salad for those who visited their fire department. Whatever the food or the activity, fire departments statewide participated in open houses this past weekend.
In Chautauqua County, 31 departments hosted open houses. Other departments in nearby Cattaraugus and Erie counties were also open to the public. There is a need for more volunteers, and the departments opened their doors to the public to try to recruit them.
Dan Imfeld, Chautauqua County Deputy Fire Coordinator, termed the event a "moderately good success." Four departments held recruitments last year; this year 31 did.
Reached on Monday, he said, "Departments are reporting one to four new members. Countywide, we got between 50 to 75 new members. Looked at as a whole, this is huge."
Current volunteers were eager to explain their roles. Ed Sisson, a member of the Cassadaga Fire Department, works in the Chautauqua County Fire Police.
"There is a spot for everyone in the fire department," he emphasized. He went on to explain that he has had back and heart problems, but he can work with the fire police.
"We are the first ones on the scene," he said. "Sometimes we beat the fire trucks."
Sisson is looking forward to taking EVOC (Emergency Vehicle Operations Course). While his bad back disqualifies him from driving a fire truck, he can drive an ambulance. He figures if he has the training he will be available if needed.
In Stockton, Captain Dave Lessinger was optimistic about his department's open house.
"It's going pretty well," he said. "We've had about a dozen people who are interested come in."
In Westfield, the department was open on both Saturday and Sunday. Everett Reardon, in charge of the open house, wished more people had come out. On the bright side, he noted that there were two new members of the department and another whose application is pending but should be approved soon.
In Forestville, Kayla Kohler, who is an interior firefighter and also was chairwoman of the open house, was eager to talk about the benefits of being a firefighter and how important everyone, including social members, are.
Kohler, whose mom, dad, and brother are also department members, explained that before she joined the department she was a Venture member for four years. Venture is a program through the Boy Scouts which is open to young people ages 14 through 21 who want to work with fire departments. At 18 a Venture member can become a full member of the department.
Dawn Espersen, a Venture leader, explained how much the students learn and that the experience benefits them on both college and job applications. There are scholarships available for them if they go on to college. She stressed the students train just as hard as regular members, but on fire and accident scenes do have some limitations.
Espersen said, "They are a lot of help on the fire scene. … There was one accident where they shoveled the snow so the firefighters could haul gear and get to the site."
Espersen said the students do not have to come from Forestville to join the group.
During Forestville's open house, demonstrations were conducted. The department showed how the department handles a fire scene when a hydrant is not available, something common in rural areas. A tanker truck backed up to a portable pond which was connected by hose to a truck. A regular fire hose was employed as well as a deck hose positioned on the fire truck.
Kohler noted that the deck hose had many different settings to meet the needs of the situation.
Although the formal recruitment is over, fire departments are eager to talk to potential volunteers. As has been repeated many times, there is a job for everyone.

A bar's quiet passing is part of the area's shift to an upscale vacation spot.
By PAUL SWIDER
Published May 6, 2007
MADEIRA BEACH - A business as old as the city closed last week, the latest indication of changing times on the beach.
"Progress decided to chase us off the property, " said Rosie De- Young, the latest and last owner of the Bamboo Beer Garden, which locked up its suds-soaked premises on the last day of April.
DeYoung ran the laid-back bar for the past six years and presided over its demise after 60 years. With the departure of mom-and-pop motels and influx of upscale condos, De-Young's aging, middle-class clientele dwindled to the point where her sales were halved this last year.
DeYoung tried to sell the bar, but the prospective buyers couldn't come to an acceptable rental agreement with the out-of-town landowner. Facing the summer slow season and a November lease renewal at a higher rate, DeYoung threw in the bar towel.
"I'm too tired to run a bar now, " said DeYoung, 57. "It's 24/7. Physically, I'm just exhausted."
Now she is dismantling a business held together by memories and memorabilia. She said she sold some equipment to pay April's taxes and is keeping some items, but to those who ask, she is giving away posters and knickknacks, including the hundreds of license plates nailed to the walls and ceiling.
"It's sad, " she said. "There's a lot of very unhappy people."
Long a home to visitors and locals alike, the Bamboo Beer Garden also has an international reputation, mainly with European tourists who fit into its casual, karaoke atmosphere. DeYoung said she's already receiving messages from overseas stalwarts missing their watering hole. Other regulars note the bar's passing as a canary in the coal mine of the city's shift.
"There's some businesses that are just not going to fit in, " said Bob Shaw, who retired to the city 15 years ago because he liked its small-town atmosphere. He said the bar's closing is an example of the transformation from fishing village to upscale vacation community. "The demographics of this community have changed so dramatically, " he said. "It turned into a four-month economy with 12-month overhead."
Shaw said the bar seems to be going out with a whimper as no one is left to keep it open. To some, the closing is a surprise.
"That comes as a real shock to me, " said City Commissioner John Wolbert. He said he thought the sale was complete and that DeYoung had gone north to take care of family.
Wolbert said the bar was an institution, like the Snack Shack at Archibald Park, another old-time outlet that may soon disappear. But the realities of property values doomed a shoestring business like the Bamboo Beer Garden.
The land was used as a fruit stand when the bar was built in 1947. It has been added to over the years on two lots on about 9, 300 square feet along Gulf Boulevard. The Property Appraiser's Office indicates that the land is worth $790, 000, but because it is next to the John's Pass Village and commercially zoned, it's likely worth more.
City officials say no one has approached them about development there, but residents expect some new development. Shaw says the next move will be telling.
For now, DeYoung is semiretired, working in a dress shop to keep busy. She's pleased to have the weight off her shoulders but tears up when she thinks of good times at the Bamboo.
"I had no choice, " she said, sobbing. "It's taken its last breath."

Neha Dobhal
Hi Ayesha,Thank you for the question, I hope you find my feedback helpful.
I would encourage you to follow your passion and interest.If you truly believe that you have the perseverance to study, excel in a certain subject and make a successful career out of it, go for it! I believe that with hard work and persistence you will be able to even attain the marks to prove to your father that you definitely have the capability to follow your dreams. Parents are wonderful people who want the best for us. I would not necessarily dismiss their concerns, but speak to them and show improvement in your grades, so that they too have the confidence that one day you will make a great aerospace engineer! Good luck !!
Hi Anusha,
It is so nice to learn of your interest in physics and astronomy as well as to learn that you aspire to be an aerospace engineer. I am a Mechanical Engineer myself and while some courses I took in school were tough and needed a lot of effort, they were certainly doable. Going to med school is no easy task when compared to engineering. I would say they are both strenuous.
Being a good doctor or a good engineer and acing in your respective field will take both effort and perseverance from your end. Just as you are getting advice from an engineer,I would encourage you to reach out to a doctor as well and hear from them first hand about their educational experience. When you have enough data about both professions, you will be able to make a choice based on both your interest and capability level. There are a lot of jobs available for engineers all around the world. It completely depends on what you want to do and over the 4 years of engineering, you might discover new passions and interests which can lead to many innovative careers.
If you need additional advice, please feel free to reach out to me via email.
Hello Janice,
Thanks for reaching out to me. It is very nice to know that you are interested and fascinated by subjects in the mechanical engineering field. Being in India, your family's apprehensions regarding your choice in engineering is not completely baseless. Due to a variety of reasons, even today in India, mechanical engineering is not considered a women friendly engineering stream and it is perhaps due to this general conception that your family perhaps thinks it is tough to find a job.
The real question you need to ask yourself is, what is YOUR priority in life. Do you think it is more important that you find a job 'easily' or are you willing to put in hard work when the going gets tough? Do you know what kind of job/jobs do you envision yourself doing after 3 years. Do you want to be an automobile engineer, want to do something in fluid mechanics, do design engineering, robotics? Do you see yourself working in the IT industry? Is that something you could potentially develop an interest in?
I would suggest before you make up your mind, find out if your college provides assistance in finding jobs in the mechanical engineering field, if not, what can you do yourself to get a foot hold in the industry? There are a lot of avenues - working in the govt sector area, BHEL, HAL, NRSA etc are examples or working in the private sector areas, TATA motors, Chrysler, Nissan etc. Find out what you need to do (write entrance tests, apply online etc) to find job here. I will not deny that while computer science itself is definitely as challenging as the mechanical engineering, in India, finding a job in the IT service sector is relatively easier since the demand for talent is quite high. But if you are willing, motivated and consistent in your efforts, you will definitely make it.
If you have more questions, feel free to reach out to me via email and I will be glad to help you out.
Hi Kelly, First of all, it is wonderful that you are thinking of being an engineer. While you need to know that basics of both physics and chemistry to be a mechanical engineer, unless you decide to major in areas such as bio chemistry, optics etc (just to give you a few examples) you will not need to deep dive into the topics. Mechanical engineering is a very widely applicable field. Mechanical engineers find jobs as aerodynamic engineers, as design engineers, as HVAC engineers, as structural engineers, as quality engineers, as fluidics experts, as quality engineers, as automotive engineers, as metallurgical engineers, as material scientists.... the list is so long! There is no fixed formula for being a good mechanical engineer. It completely depends on where your interest lies and what courses you choose to excel in your field. I had started my career as a design engineer and a few of the courses that were very helpful to me were mechanics, engineering drawing, design of machine members, solid mechanics, fluid mechanics etc... most of the courses I took during school help me in one way or another throughout my work life. More importantly what the course structure inculcated in me was critical thinking skills and a logical thought process. Feel free to reach out to me with any more questions you may have. I will be more than glad to help you out.
To answer your question, I would like to quote Dr Kelso from the TV Series Scrubs - "Nothing in this world worth having comes easy". An engineering degree is something you will cherish through your life because it will open so many doors for you. It will not be easy, but it certainly is not and will not be impossible. Look around you and draw inspiration from all the wonderful women engineers who are changing the world, one step at a time. It may be a field that is dominated by males currently, not to say, that this cannot change in the coming years. I would encourage you to be a part of this change. It is unfortunate that in the past you may have been ignored because you were a girl. The important takeaway from this, is the fact, that this was the PAST. As long as you give your 100% to your work and do a great job, no righteous person should discriminate against you on gender basis. Perhaps you are aware that engineering is of various kinds. While some may be more suited for men, there is no reason why a woman who does a good job and has the passion for it, will not be hired. Being taken seriously in the working world has got nothing to do with gender bias. This is the 21st century and gender bias cannot stop you from reaching your maximum potential. Hope I answered your question. Feel free to email me if you have further questions. Thanks

With all of the distractions this week, from the Republican National Convention in Florida, to the Tropical Storm Isaac that hit New Orleans on the 7th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, I thought I would continue this week's theme on the IBM zEnterprise EC12.
In the whitepaper [The IBM zEnterprise EC12: A Technology/Strategy Review], the folks at Clabby Analytics answer three questions:
- What has IBM done to improve System z from a technology perspective?
- What is IBM trying to accomplish strategically?
- How much does it cost?
In my last post [IBM Announces zEnterprise EC12 mainframe server], I covered the first two, so in this post, I will focus on the cost advantages.
In the whitepaper [The Surprising Technology Economics of Mainframe vs. Distributed Servers], Robin Worldwide compares the IT costs for typical units of work. On average, mainframes are 29 percent less expensive than distributed servers. Here are some examples:
- Processing an insurance claim: $56 U.S. dollars (USD) with mainframes, versus $92 USD with distributed servers.
- Processing a mobile subscriber: $18.26 USD with mainframes, versus $26.12 USD with distributed servers.
- IT cost for an ATM machine: $572 USD with mainframes, versus $1021 USD with distributed servers.
In the whitepaper [Total Economic Impact of IBM System z], Forrester Research interviews the executives of five existing mainframe clients, and through in-depth analysis of their deployments, is able to present a "composite" company with an IT-staff of 4,500 employees. The result is impressive: deploying an IBM System z had an ROI of 199 percent. That is a payback period of less than five months!

An integral part of every game of rugby played ranging from the international stage to community and age grade spheres, referees and match officials perform the pivotal role in ensuring that Wales's national sport, and arguably chief love continues to thrive week in, week out. Though the men in the middle may sometimes appear to have a thankless job, the vocation of match refereeing offers social, health and fitness benefits to the individuals who take up these important positions.
Refereeing dictates that you are at the heart of the action on the playing field; effectively: no referee, no match. This fast-paced and challenging role draws not only ex-players and coaches into the realms of match refereeing but also supporters and spectators who want to be closer to the action.
Referees require excellent management skills and the ability to make crucial decisions under, at times, large amounts of pressure. Referees uphold the laws of the game not only to guarantee a fair contest but also, as in scrummaging, to keep the game clean and safe. A sound knowledge of the game of rugby and good degree of general fitness are also desirable for this adrenaline-fuelled and highly rewarding role but can be picked up easily enough with practice.
The varying levels of refereeing courses delivered by the WRU enable prospective referees and touch judges to start, or build on, the skills necessary to become a bona fide, qualified match official. If you relish the thought of providing an invaluable service to players and supporters alike, maintaining your fitness levels within a purposeful role and perhaps rising to the top of the refereeing rankings, check out the refereeing courses online today.
The Referees Academy was officially formed in January 2011. It was formed to ensure those referees who are showing potential to reach the upper tiers of officiating are provided with the necessary specialist support in a variety of areas ranging from fitness, diet and nutrition to game management and analysis. By providing these key criteria referees have every opportunity of achieving that goal.
The key aim is to provide the game with a constant flow of quality Welsh match ffficials who are capable of performing at the highest level.
The academy comes under the High Performance Department at the Welsh Rugby Union.

Influenza (also called the flu) is an upper respiratory infection. It is caused by a strain of the influenza virus. There are many types of influenza viruses but there are two main kinds that infect humans:
Each year (usually beginning in October), the flu spreads around the world. You can get the flu when you breathe in droplets from someone infected with the virus. It can also be spread by touching a contaminated surface, then putting your hand to your mouth or nose. For most, the flu will cause fever, aches, fatigue, coughing, congestion, loss of appetite, and sore throat. However, some people are more vulnerable to more severe complications which may require hospitalization. Risk factors for severe complications include:
The flu shot is made from an inactivated, killed virus. There are 3 types of flu shots available:
There is also a nasal spray (FluMist) made from live, weakened flu viruses. The nasal spray is available for healthy people aged 2-49 years who are not pregnant. It is the preferred vaccine for healthy children who are 2-8 years of age.
The flu shots and nasal spray contain several influenza viral strains. The type of strains that the vaccine contains change from year to year. The strains are based on which viruses are likely to circulate during that flu season.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommend that anyone aged 6 months and older should get a flu shot. Children 6 months to 8 years of age will need 2 doses of the vaccine. This will help your child build immunity to the virus.
It takes about 2 weeks for the vaccination to protect you against the flu. Even if you have been vaccinated, you can still get the flu. If you have symptoms, tell your doctor.
You can get the flu anytime during the year. But, flu season typically lasts from October to May. The best time to get vaccinated is as soon as the vaccine is available. This will protect you before the flu comes to your community.
Almost all people who receive the influenza vaccine have no problems. There are certain risks associated with the vaccine. As with any vaccine, there is a small risk of serious problems, including severe allergic reaction.
Side effects associated with the flu shot include:
Side effects associated with the nasal spray vaccine include:
Certain people should talk to their doctor before receiving the influenza vaccine. These include people who:
The following people should not get the nasal spray:
Good preventive measures include:
In the event of an outbreak, the primary focus is to vaccinate as many at risk people as possible, especially those in high priority groups. The use of antiviral medications can reduce the length of the illness when given within two days of onset. Finally, people who are infected should be isolated as much as possible.

No photos?
Build a better mouse trap and it will sell.
It will be interesting to see how they'll try to concoct a "reason" to make this business illegal.
"Hire us and we'll trim your..." uh... never mind.
I am curious as to how this is different from companies which offer strippers for private parties at homes and offices.
Ack! Ack!
That link needs more of a warning, I think.
Now, where the hell is that souvenir paper bag I took off the airplane last week?
She should claim that she is a lesbian illegal alien and not only will she not be arrested, but also she would be able to get federal monies.
Obviously, she meant to say, 'Business is boobing' not booming.
"We really clean houses," Borrett said.
and wallets....
Bhabhahahaha! A nudie teaser for the evening local news. I love it.
As for what law, probably public exposure. Wouldn't surprise me if some of these guys leave the blinds open, just so the neighbors can see they're finally taking serious the complaints about the dirty house.
I imagine there are a number of freepers that could tell you, and also why it is morally reprehensible, demon-spawned and just another reason why the US is cursed and will fail. Oh yeah, and she's a liberal.
The pert about "making ends meet" was sorta funny.
Sluts with Broomsticks....
I bet it brings up a lot of Google hits
From her Facebook page, not sure they would help.
She is one of those alt types (but not the good kind) who possibly could have potential..
Hit the gym, lay off the booze, and quit going for the depressed look at she could possibly make it up to a 4 out of 10.
...I think I'll pass...
Couldn't you have spun it and called it "performance art?"
And charged admission from artsy-fartsy pinheads to view it?
I'd bet you'd have recouped at least part of the fee, anyway...
What, no random clams of kindness from the maids anymore?
If men fought back by doing naked landscaping the workers comp claims could be VERY scary.
"Is this a great country or what?!"
My eyes! Arrrrgggh!
Also, what you see in that pic is pretty much 80% of the Occupy Lubbock "movement." I laughed when someone stole their gasoline-powered generator.
I can't feed the kids but I sure as hell can afford a buck nakkid house cleaner!
Wonder when there will be a fag version?
Oh, my goodness! I must live in a very naïve bubble.
"She is also an occutard."
Who by now are highly renowned for their phenomenal work ethic, of course...
Then there'll be a real mess to clean up!
I don't think so. Since landscaping is done outdoors, there would be public nudity involved. Housekeeping wouldn't.
..and just a note, what is pitiful about her 99% note is that Texas Tech school of medicine offers a lot of community medical programs for those who can't pay. She could probably get treated for her issue by just walking in and asking.
Decolonization didn't do wonders for Africa, so maybe you're better off.
Yuck !!!
You SOB !!!!
Lunch was good the first time...didn't need to taste it again!
What is next? Nekkid kitchen appliance repair?
The pert about "making ends meet" was sorta funny.
Your question had been answered in spades by a link in Post #5 above, which has just now been deleted by the moderator.
I naively clicked on that link while it was still active, and, well, it just wasn't pretty, that's for damned sure...
Wonder when there will be a fag version?
See post 5. Ooops - You can't.
All I did was hot link to it. But see some of the replies of those who clicked that link. I'm not too popular here today.
.... slinking away.
So she turned out to be a capitalist after all.
You are quite correct. I am curious as to how many of these OWS messages are remoteley genunine.
Must be one of those poor students that is suffering now because healthcare didn't pay for her condoms.

"With 24 different burgers, Red Robin caters to a lot of different tastes. We even have a garden burger just in case your teenage daughter is going through a phase."
With a thumb hiding behind her open hand, but pointing to said teenager, and the actress herself whispering the delivery out of the side of her mouth the ancient joke that teenagers are temporarily vegetarian is shared with the hamburger-wanting target market.
And suddenly all the adult & non-temporary vegetarians found a #millionreasons to hate Red Robin. It is, to quote one vegetarian "highly disrespectful to those who want to save animal lives". These people do not patron fast food joints, where dead animals are the main product. It's "horribly offensive to vegetarians" say many, and twitter is boiling over with angry cabbage eaters, all of whom promise to never set foot in Red Robin again, as if they ever did.
Meanwhile, at Red Robin HQ they're high-fiving each other because of the 'earned media' this is getting them. Soon everyone will know they offer a garden burger, along with 23 different meaty burger variants too. Thank you, angry vegetarians, for the #milliontweets! This tame campaign had no shot in hell of trending before you guys came along.
Note: On Red Robins facebook (I almost said phasebook!) people are saying their patronage at Red Robin was just a phase. Zing!
Client: Red Robin
Principal talent: Melanie Paxson
You truly are a fucking idiot.
There's no argument to take apart. I don't even know what this text is supposed to be aside from vitriolic drivel. So I sent you some of the same, but I didn't pull random unsourced quotes out of my ass like you.
And please don't waste your time responding to me as I only did because it was open from my previous time on the computer. I am about to delete this tab and I shan't ever be back. Some day I hope you realize that being an insensitive cunt is pointless.
No one cares if you closed your tab or not, silly little man. It's not like you've contributed anything of value here, anyway. What's the matter, Veg man? No Fun City getting you down?
Red Robin completely missed the mark and has no idea who their audience really is. Speaking as someone who is almost entirely anti-veg, I would never go to Red Robin for a veg-burger. That just isn't the place that screams meat-free! That said, if they are going for the 'phase' market, they might be spot on.
Disclaimer: I do tend to frequent Red Robin, often weekly, and typically order enough meat to feed a small nation. Quad-patty, bacon, and cheddar cheese, no veggies! YUM!
Why the hate? Ad is selling 24 different burgers. They just happen to sell a veg burger. Teenage girls go thru this "vegetarian" phase. It's just a line of copy. Ad is spot on. Family target is spot on. it's Red Robin, not some niche veg restaurant. I don't see the hoopla.- RT
Me neither. But you know. America is the land of the Easily Offended™.
That was really dumb commercial, but I don't see why people need to be upset about it. But, as Mr. Kauffman said, I don't understand what this article is supposed to do. Really, I just ended up here from a Google search; please tell me what this site's purpose is.
Funny thing about websites, Dannel: They all have "about" sections. Those sections tell you what a web site's purpose it. Ours is located at the bottom of our page, right by the red TV logo in the left hand corner. Have you spotted it yet?
Well, if you can't locate it, I'll give you a clue. look at the name of the website. There's a word "Ad," in the name. Could that be short for advertising? If so, what would that second word "land," be about?
Do you think maybe-- just maybe-- this website has something to do with all things advertising?
Just throwing it out there.
You are close, bitch. This is a clubhouse computer, so right on that count, but not us being the same person. Dan's not even a veg so it's weird that you're pissed at him. But you are a fucking cunt, obsessed with insulting people and just getting attention, negative or otherwise. And congrats on the useless site.
Also you have no idea how to read code because I actually forgot to close this tab and a new one was never opened.
It's hilarious how obsessed with yourself you are, you mentally challenged piece of shit.
For a site with no value it sure gets a lot of hits. Especially from Burnaby. My question is this: Are you a regular run of the mill Canadian Tire troll, or are you an advertising troll? There's a big difference, you know.
For a national chain that prides itself in their gourmet burgers, Red Robin sure makes a crappie veggie burger!
And no doubt it's cooked on a grill where all the meat burgers are being cooked, too. Seriously, why on earth would you go to a chain for veggie food? How low is the standard for vegetables here?
