Trillion-Dollar Shortfall
Dear Alibi ,
[Re: Feature, "Righter Than Right, Lefter Than Left," July 5-11] Gary Johnson will never be president. Why is he running? He doesn't seem to have given much consideration to a key part of his platform.
In his Alibi interview he says he is promising to submit a balanced budget to Congress in 2013. This year, the deficit will be about $1.3 trillion. When asked about "minimal government," Johnson said he specifically wants to eliminate the Departments of Homeland Security, Education, and Housing and Urban Development. The combined budgets of these three Departments is $168 billion. That's a long way from $1.3 trillion. Where is our esteemed ex-guv going to find the rest of his savings?

De Jure Discrimination
Dear Alibi,
[Re: Feature, "Righter Than Right, Lefter Than Left," July 5-11] Good article, but it has one unanswered question: Where does Johnson stand on the Sexist, I mean, Selective Service draft registration requirement? It singles out young men born during or after 1960—solely because of their gender and post-1959 birth date—to register for a possible draft or face loss in student aid and, in some cases, even admission to a state-run college, driver's licenses or public sector jobs. This is blatant de jure discrimination that violates the whole concept of equal protection under the law regardless of one's gender, race or other immutable category. Johnson and all other candidates need to speak out against this law and do something about it!

Gary Johnson Has My Vote
Dear Alibi,
[Re: Feature, "Righter Than Right, Lefter Than Left," July 5-11] Obama has failed us in so many ways, it's becoming laughable. Mitt Romney isn't even a serious candidate to the thinking individual.
Gary Johnson represents common sense government that I'm willing to enthusiastically get behind.

Workforce Revolution
Dear Alibi,
At a time when many people have been out of work for a considerable period, the traditional job-hunting tactics are only working for a fortunate few. One of those, the job fair, calls for dressing up, carrying a stack of résumés and standing in a line with other jobseekers in hopes of impressing someone who already has a job to offer them one. It can be disheartening and, at its worst, humiliating.
I am suggesting something different. The current financial climate may provide some people with jobs and benefits and a return to the life they had. However, for many of us, this wrenching change is, in fact, an opportunity in disguise; a chance to reconsider the lives we have been leading and, like detectives, to rediscover the ideas and aspirations that we have held inside. Many of us have set aside those ambitions as fantasies to explore when we retire. But now is the time to explore them. And monetize them.
What I propose is forming a networking group that meets regularly to investigate what we as individuals want to do with our lives. And then to encourage, assist and share our complementary skill sets with each other—forming teams around small business ideas to actualize them.
I am looking for people who want to do this with me. There is no charge. Veterans and 50-plus, company representatives and venture capitalists are all welcome. You can do it at the same time you're sending out résumés. Or looking for another job. The day, hour and location will be shared with those who make contact. Please respond or ask questions at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Humanitarian Issues: Should more be done to protect the internally displaced?
The UN Security Council (UNSC) should be doing more to address the problems facing people displaced by conflict, a new study by Brookings and the London School of Economics has found.
The UNSC referred to internal displacement in 19 per cent of its resolutions from 1999-2010, the report said. However, its action on the issue has arguably been incommensurate with the scale of the problem. 27 million people worldwide were internally displaced at the end of 2010.
Internally displaced persons (IDPs) is the term used by humanitarian organizations to describe individuals forced to leave their homes due to conflict or natural disasters, but who remain within the borders of their country.
The challenges facing IDPs have traditionally been seen as an internal affair, but in recent years, as the problem has grown, the international community has paid increasing attention to their situation.
The report, "Security Council, Internal Displacement and Protection: Recommendations for Strengthening Action through Resolutions" was launched on 19 October by OCHA and the Brookings-LSE Project on Internal Displacement.
The study analysed 747 Security Council resolutions and found that 142 made reference to internal displacement.
Moreover, it revealed significant discrepancies between different crises. While UNSC resolutions on Georgia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and Sudan – where there are many IDPs – addressed internal displacement in most instances, the study found that only one resolution on Somalia had included language on the issue, despite internal displacement being a major problem there.
The report also found that UNSC resolutions had failed to propose durable solutions for IDPs that go beyond return to include local integration and resettlement. Issues surrounding housing, land and property were also rarely addressed, despite them being important to peace and security.
"The Security Council has included references to internal displacement in many of its resolutions, but has done so inconsistently," said Dr Chaloka Beyani, the UN Special Rapporteur on the Human Rights of Internally Displaced Persons.
"We hope that this report will enable the Security Council to address issues of internal displacement more consistently, comprehensively and effectively."

A new poll released by the Center for Immigration Studies shows the majority of likely voters simply want illegal immigrants to head back to their home countries.
A new poll using neutral language — and avoiding the false choice of conditional legalization vs. mass
deportations — finds that most Americans want illegal immigrants to return to their home counties,
rather than be given legal status. The findings also show a very large gap in intensity, with those who want
illegal immigrants to head home feeling much stronger about that option than those who would like to see illegal
immigrants receive legal status.
•Of likely voters, 52 percent responded that they preferred to see illegal immigrants in the United States go
back to their home countries, compared to just 33 percent who would like them to be given legal status.

The Humane Society of the United States has launched an attack on Illinois breeders under the pretense of regulating puppy mills. HB 198 will make it almost impossible for conscientious and responsible breeders to remain in business. The requirements of HB 198 are so onerous, complicated and costly that it can best be compared to the legal requirements for licensing a nursing home.
My husband, Bill, attended the hearing in Springfield, on February 10, 2009, only to find that the hearing had been cancelled. We had called and e-mailed all of the representatives on the Committee and were very encouraged by the amount of public opposition to the bill; according to one Representative, they had not received a single phone call in support of the bill.
HB 198 is scheduled for public hearing again on February 19, 2009 at 2:00 in Room C-1 Stratton Building at the Captiaol in Springfield. Bill and I will both be heading there this time to voice our opposition. Please go to www.petitiononline.com/asda1/petition.html and sign the online petition against HB 198. If you are not an Illinois resident you can sign at www.petitiononline.com/asda2/petition.html.
We are grateful to the American Sporting Dog Alliance for bringing this to our attention before it simply became Law of the Land without our even knowing about it.
Here is a link to the actual legislation: http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/full...Sess=&Session=
We love our dogs and cannot imagine what passage of this bill would do to us. To my knowledge, NO ONE involved in drafting this legislation EVER contacted or visited any legitimate breeders to see what we do and how we do it. If they contacted us, they would find that we feed a premium dog food and have probably financed college educations for all three of our veterinarian's children. We treat every puppy that we breed as if it were our own pet until it leaves to become a part of a new family.
We work hard to breed Labs that are healthy, sound in temperament and can do the work they were intended to do. We believe they are the best and most versatile dogs in the world and we want that to continue through the efforts of responsible breeders, not only in Illinois but in every state. HSUS's attacks on dog owners/breeders will not end in Illinois. There are similar posts today from people in Oklahoma and Plano, TX.
This is still America, isn't it?

|On July 26, 1953, 26-year-old Fidel Castro led an attack on the Moncada Barracks in Santiago de Cuba in an attempt to overthrow the country's dictator, Fulgencio Batista. The rebels were heavily outnumbered in the failed assault, but Castro escaped and hid in the countryside until he was finally arrested on Aug. 1. At the subsequent trial, Castro spoke in his own defense—declaring "history will absolve me"—but he was convicted and sentenced to 15 years in prison. Believing the rebels were no longer a threat, the newly reelected Batista granted Castro and others in the movement amnesty and released them in 1955. Four years later, Cuba had a new jefe.

|Decades before he became supreme leader of the Soviet Union, Joseph Stalin was a Bolshevik revolutionary who was arrested many times and sentenced to Siberia—but he repeatedly escaped. During one period of exile, however, he made an important life decision and changed his surname—Dzhugashvili—to Stalin, which means "man of steel." It's also excellent propaganda.

|In October 2000, a little more than two years after assuming the Philippine presidency, Joseph "Erap" Estrada was accused of receiving payoffs and of other corruption charges. During the January 2001 impeachment trial of the sitting president, as the country faced a political uprising from the people, the Philippine armed forces withdrew their support for Estrada and backed his vice president, Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo. The Supreme Court of the Philippines soon declared Arroyo the new president, and in April 2001, Estrada was arrested and charged with perjury and plunder. After a six-year trial, he was convicted of plunder and sentenced to life in prison, though several months later President Arroyo pardoned him.

DRC: Helping displaced communities in Goma
In mid-November, fighting between the Congolese army and the M-23 rebel group in Goma, eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), displaced more than 130,000 people, with thousands fleeing 50 km south towards Minova in South Kivu. Scores of people were injured, including children.
"I was fetching water and suddenly I heard a loud noise. I was hurt and was rushed to the Motherly Love hospital," recalled 12-year-old Fanny, sitting on her hospital bed. In another Goma neighbourhood, a young boy, Elie, lost his left arm.
"With gunshots everywhere, I decided to hide in a house. A mortar fell on the house, my arm was hurting very badly," he said.
Soon after the mid-November attack, the children were brought to a hospital run by Heal Africa, one of the many humanitarian organizations providing aid to people affected by conflict in DRC. Some 133 people were treated between 19 November and 10 December, according to Heal Africa's chief doctor.
Following days of limited mobility due to the heavy fighting, aid organizations have stepped up relief efforts. The Goma airport has re-opened, meaning food, cooking supplies, medicine, school materials and aid personnel can enter the area. On 8 December, Humanitarian Coordinator Moustapha Soumare travelled to Goma with more than two tons of therapeutic milk and medicine.
Aid response is being rolled out in all sectors. Thousands of people have received food aid since the beginning of December and the World Food Programme is airlifting some 92 tons of high-energy biscuits. Thousands of litres of clean water and other relief items are being distributed, vaccination campaigns are underway, hundreds of schools are being refurbished and classes are being planned for thousands of children.
However, the aid effort is conducted in a volatile security climate. During his visit to Goma, Mr. Soumare visited the Mugunga III camp for internally displaced people (IDP), which had been attacked by armed men who looted food and belongings. They also raped women. Mr. Soumare visited several families, many of whom told him that what they needed most was peace.
The protection of civilians, including aid workers, and the security of IDP sites and camps remain priorities for the aid community. Among other actions, OCHA has dispatched a protection expert to discuss these priorities with provincial authorities, representatives from the UN peacekeeping mission and humanitarian partners.

First impressions are everything, and the introduction to your big day is no exception. That's why your wedding invitation sets are oh so important (besides giving guests the Who/What/Where, of course): they set the tone. For example, you wouldn't send an invitation with ornate gold edging and intricate engraving for a backyard barbeque, and you wouldn't send out an invitation playful polka dots for a black tie affair.
Let's get started, shall we?
When should I order my wedding invitations?
When should my wedding invitations be mailed?
Where should I purchase my wedding invitations?
What kind of paper should I use?
What color should my invitations be?
What size should my invitation be?
How do I go about choosing a lettering style?
What color ink should I use?
What printing process should I use?
How much postage will my wedding invitations require?
How much money should I expect to spend?
When should I order my wedding invitations?
At least three months before your wedding. This should leave you enough time for printing, addressing and mailing.
When should my wedding invitations be mailed?
Four to six weeks before the wedding. For summer and holiday weddings, mail your invitations eight weeks before the wedding, as people are more likely to be traveling at those times.
Where should I purchase my wedding invitations?
There are many places that sell wedding invitations, including stationery stores, department stores, specialty stores, independent design boutiques and websites. When selecting a stationer, look for one who has expertise in selling wedding invitations and whom you feel comfortable working with.
What kind of paper should I use?
Wedding papers are made from either cotton or wood. The first true papers were made from cotton almost 2,000 years ago. Wood-pulp papers emerged in the 1800s during the Industrial Revolution. They supplanted cotton-fiber papers for many uses because of their lower cost and the seemingly endless supply of trees. The finest paper, though, is made from cotton.
Before you order your invitations, run your fingers across the paper. Invitations made from cotton will have a soft, rich feel. Papers made from 100% cotton are also environmentally friendly, as cotton is a renewable resource. A new cotton crop is harvested every year, whereas it takes many years to replace the trees used to make wood-pulp papers.
And unlike papers made from ordinary wood pulp, papers made from cotton don't decompose. Your wedding invitations will look as beautiful on your golden wedding anniversary as they did on the day you sent them.
What color should my invitations be?
Formal wedding invitations can be printed on either ecru or white stationery. Ecru is the color you may know as buff, cream, ivory or eggshell. Ecru is the more popular of the two in the Americas, while white is the color of choice in Europe. That all said, the color you choose is a matter of personal preference. If bright orange has special meaning to you and your future spouse, then by all means, make them orange.
What size should my invitation be?
Wedding invitations are available in three sizes: 6 3/8 by 8 7/8 inches, 5 1/2 by 7 1/2 inches and 4 1/2 by 6 1/4 inches. Each of these letter sheets fits in a set of matching envelopes.
The two larger sizes are also available with a second fold across the middle of the sheet. The sheets fold a second time from top to bottom. The fold runs beneath the "to" line and does not cut across any of the engraving. These invitations are the most traditional. If you look at your parents' or grandparents' wedding invitations, you'll likely find they were done with a second fold.
Historical tidbit: These traditional invitations date back to earlier times when most formal social events were held in cities and towns. The residents had relatively small mailboxes so instead of having the postman stuff large invitations into small mailboxes, engravers folded the invitations neatly into smaller envelopes.
How do I go about choosing a lettering style?
Look at sample invitations. Since traditional invitations all follow the same format, your invitations will look pretty much like the sample. The lettering style you choose should reflect the formality of your wedding and your personal taste. Classic lettering styles, such as Royal Script or Shaded Antique Roman, are the most popular and always in good taste.
What color ink should I use?
Formal wedding invitations are engraved in black ink. However, exceptionally bold lettering styles on white paper can look too heavy and busy when engraved in black ink. In such cases, dark grey ink is suggested. Less formal invitations might incorporate other colors, such as navy, burgundy or dark green. The color selection is often made to reflect the season or tone of the event, or to coordinate with the wedding's color palette.
What printing process should I use?
There are several printing processes you can choose from, depending on your aesthetic and budget.
The grande dame of printing processes is engraving. Engraving is one of the oldest and most beautiful processes for reproducing images on paper. Developed during the 1700s, it was initially used to reproduce the documents and announcements that were copied by hand at that time.
The appeal of engraving was in the exquisite detail created by its three-dimensional impression. Engravers were talented craftsmen who carried their trade from the Old World to the Americas. Their craft was not only used to produce stationery and announcements but also currency papers, such as stocks, bonds and dollar bills. Two of the United States' most famous engravers were Paul Revere and Benjamin Franklin.
The most elegant invitations are still engraved. The invitation copy is etched in reverse into a copper plate, and ink is deposited into the resulting cavity. The engraving press then forces the paper into the cavity, creating a raised impression.
The easiest way to tell if an invitation is engraved is to turn it over. If there's an indentation, it's engraved. The indentation is caused by the pressure the engraving press exerts on the paper when it forces the paper into the cavity of the die. None of the other processes produce an indentation.
When you look at the front of the indentation, you'll notice its "bruise." The invitation will have a gentle wave or ripple to it, giving it a look of distinction. Run your fingers across it. You'll feel the softness of the cotton paper interrupted by the sharp, crisp lines that can only be created by engraving, as the paper is literally raised, with the ink adhering to its raised surface. The fact that the paper itself is raised is what distinguishes engraving from printing and thermography.
Which leads us to our next printing process, thermography. Thermography is sometimes called "raised printing," although the printing is not raised at all. Unlike engraving, where the paper is actually raised, the raise in thermography is created by a resinous powder that is melted over the flat-printed ink. Thermography is less expensive than engraving and can give your invitations a look similar to, but not quite as nice as, engraving.
Another choice is blind embossing (or just "embossing"). It's a process similar to engraving. As with engraving, a raised impression is created from a copper plate. Unlike engraving, no ink is used. Blind embossing is commonly used for a family coat of arms, the return address on the outside envelopes, and monogrammed thank-you notes.
Letterpress is also an option. It's a more casual style and has seen a recent resurgence, with independent letterpress printers popping up all over the world. Developed in the 14th century, letterpress printing involves setting type and motifs in reverse on a letterpress plate. The plate is then inked and pressed onto the surface of a paper. You can tell if an invitation has undergone this printing process by running your fingers across the paper and feeling for depressions where the letters have been — you got it — pressed.
Finally, there's foil stamping. What makes this process different from all the others is that it doesn't use ink. It uses — yep — foil. Like engraving and letterpress, a plate is made. Then, the foil is pressed between the paper and the plate. Because of the metallic quality of most foils, this printing process offers allows your invitations to shine. Literally.
How much postage will my wedding invitations require?
The invitation's size, the number of enclosure cards and even the humidity affect the postage. To determine the correct postage, have your invitations (including the stamp on the reply envelopes) weighed at the post office from which they will be sent.
How much money should I expect to spend?
Cost will depend on the quality of the invitation, the number of enclosures and the quantity ordered. When selecting your invitations, it's important to remember that even though the invitations set the tone for the entire wedding, they comprise, on average, only about 2% of the wedding's total cost. No matter how much money you save by purchasing inexpensive invitations, it will be a tiny amount in relation to the overall cost of your wedding.

What is the point in trying to put an advanced title on a gundog that has already proven itself mentally unstable? Is it so you can breed it later to "improve the breed?" Spay or neuter at least and train it as a hobby.
UPDATE: From all of your comments, I was ready for Henry if he decided to growl at me again. When he did, I picked him by the lead and shook some sense into him (along with yelling a few choice words). I then held him on the ground until he submitted. Not once during our "meeting", did he snarl, growl, or bite at me. I think I've made progress. I have since denied him free access to toys. The next day, I started working on force-fetch and he is coming along nicely.

Feeds on pine seeds, extracted from cones, and by probing for insects under bark and among needles. Nests in natural tree cavities and excavates fresh nest sites. Sexes are separable with care.

Rising heat, extreme weather and pests mean the highland bean is running out of cool mountainsides on which it flourishes. Global warming is leading to bad, expensive coffee. The perfect storm of raising heat, extreme whether and ferocious pests mean the highland bean is running out of cool mountain sides on which it flourishes. Rich western urbanites expecting to dodge the impacts of climate change should prepare for a jolt: global warming is leading to bad, expensive coffee. Almost 2bn cups of coffee perk up its drinkers every day, but a perfect storm of rising heat, extreme weather and ferocious pests mean the highland bean is running out of cool mountainsides on which it flourishes.

There are no two ways around it: Equal Exchange is experiencing a tricky and protracted period of disruption in banana supply. Equal Exchange works with independent 3rd parties along our chain, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. Our reason for existence is to purchase bananas fairly from small-scale producers while challenging the undemocratic nature of the multinational model. Our goal is to also supply consistent and quality bananas on the store level.While upsets in our chain may be common, they tend to be isolated blips that we work hard to minimize.

Yesterday was Mother's Day. A day that I associate with anyone, regardless of gender, who nurtures, rears, and gives care to a child. And while I thought about the men and women that have functioned as mothers in my life, I thought too about the people in charge of our government and in fact our country.
Let's start with the National Mother and Grandmother, who, I am sure, considers herself to be a Mothering Worker!
VS Naipaul wrote a story called Maternal Instinct in his highly satirical and highly acclaimed novel Miguel Street. In it, Laura, the heroine, was a women with many children fathered by many men.
There are days I get the impression the National Mother had the country with several Child Fathers or Baby Daddies, hence the reason the buck passing can never end with her. She doesn't answer questions of national concern, it's always one of the men, even when the questions are about issues that are directly linked to her, like her sister Vidwattie Newton.
Between January to May this country like it get caught in an undertow at Maracas Bay and every time we stand up to ketch weself a next wave of nonsense lick us down. In fact, I daresay that since The Keith's Motion of No Confidence this govt has been mired in bacchanal after bacchanal, conflict after conflict… and the men who the National Mother keeps hiding behind are abusing her offspring and Kamla, typical of the mother who turns a blind eye to the abuse of her children because "the man helping out" remains silent.
Tell me on what issue has the National Mother actually spoken out on or taken a leadership role on?
Dwayne Gibbs rented a plane for $.9m, money that he had no right to use or disburse, tell me what has become of that and why, the PM hasn't insisted that the AG put his foot down where that probe and Gibbs' Commissionership is concerned? She is after all the head of the National Security Council so this should be an issue that concerns her and concerns her deeply. What the Crop Duster rental told us was that this government, led by Persad-Bissessar, didn't have a crime plan in place, didn't know procedure and protocol and were quite happy with public officials abusing public funds without being held accountable. This impression of the National Mother and her heads of household haven't changed.
Let's look at Devant Maharaj, who reminds me of the surrepitiously lecherous uncle. You know, the one who always wants to hold you in that uncomfortable position on his lap for an inordinate length of time….riiiiiight! There have been a number of shitstorm clouds hovering over Maharaj's tenure as Minister of Transport, none more ominous than Caribbean Airlines Limited. Devant has been involved in misstep after misstep with CAL: under him a financially crippled CAL announced a profit of $200m ( a figure I was immediately sceptical about and the PP die hards called my scepticism racism); under Devant, CAL donated US$5m to the PM's Life Fund; under Devant, previous CAL chairmen have been accused of having no common sense when it came to managing an airline; under Devant the PTSC has been accused of running a courier service for high priced prostitutes, and it is alleged that a member of the PTSC Board is running the ring…investigations still being conducted. These are just a handful of the issues plaguing Devant; but by the 3rd or 4th complaint about Uncle Devant, shouldn't Kamla…as mother and leader have started to ask some pointed questions herself? How exactly did she let it slide when he accused past chairmen of having no commonsense? How exactly has she managed to ignore the fact that mismanagement of CAL has happened under her government's watch. Arthur Lok Jack, a former CAL Chairman who (according to Devant) lacked common sense, good frig up the government last week when he revealed that more than US$100m that his board had left intact at the end of his tenure in June 2010 was now missing. A former board member, Allan Clovis, corroborated Lok Jack's statement. Now Devant is calling for a report on the missing millions and I guess we should believe that he doesn't know what's going on with the airline under his purview, and further to that, that Rabindranath Moonan, who was appointed chairman because he possessed common sense by the tonne, also knows nothing about the missing millions? And in all of this the PM is silent and invisible. This isn't buses and cars….this is the national airline, something that is crucial not just to Trinidad and Tobago but to the wider Caribbean….and not one word from the National Mother….maybe if we gave her a fleet of CAL jets to aid her constant travel she'd have more to say.
Prakash Ramadhar is another parent in this partnership who has me concerned. Most voters in 2010 had hoped that the COP would be the partner that maintained reason, honour, integrity and credibility in this political marriage. In short, we hoped the COP would be the sort of parent we could run to for sane judgement in a time of crisis. Yet we have the COP supporting the UNC in all kinds of questionable decisions Reshmi, SoE, Vidwattie…notice the rhyme scheme), but then getting their panties tied up in knots over a Mayorship. Prakash has turned out to be just as wobbly and weak a leader as Winston Dookeran. He blows hot and cold at the same time and seems prone to telling either side, whether it's Kamla or his supporters, precisely what they want to hear. Praksh is precisely the sort of fence sitter that I like to avoid….because he'll see abuse and justify it as necessary for the child's development!
Then there's Tim…..what to not say about Tim Goopeesingh boy? This is a man who spent his previous term in office with the UNC under a fog of suspicion for many things: ghost gang doctors; RHA monies missing; heart and dialysis machines missing and ending up in private hospitals; RHA budget being used to pay for his family's regular restaurant bills….all of these accusations were being levelled at Goopeesingh, yet Kamla, in her wisdom, as National Mother felt that this is precisely the sort of man she wanted to expose to the nation all over again and this time in education.
He has turned out to be abrasive, aggressive and exclusive in his approach to much of what he is doing at the Ministry. Stakeholders are complaining that they are not a part of the decision making process as regards the SEA exam….a crucial part of our education system. Further, Tim has taken to antagonising teachers now. Openly complaining about perks and benefits that teachers, their union and the Ministry of Education would have collectively agreed on and adding fuel to already tense situations. The latest furore is that the format of the SEA exam is about to change in 2013. 1 year's notice to change an exam that makes or breaks the future of most children and citizens here. If this transition isn't handled properly this current government could be damaging the future of the nation's education system…and I am once again reminded of Kamla's tenure as Education minister when secondary education for all was instituted and the government she served rushed to rent unventilated buildings to put children in. It was under her tenure as minister that knives, forks and flatware went missing from the ministry and had to be returned.
When the UNC described Kamla as the mother of the nation in 2010, the images conjured was of a responsible caregiver, here to nurture, not boof; encourage, not dictate. Instead the type of mother we have gotten smacks of someone who got pregnant too young. We got a National Mother who more interested in shopping, travelling and dressing up….we got a National mother who lies, abuses state funds and when caught sleeping on the job puts the responsibility on the men around her.
I think we should award Kamla as Delinquent National Mother of the Year! Party hard, grandma….you rock on with yuh bad self!
De Vice Cyah Done!

Reviews of this property
The East Village is a great neighborhood, despite the hustle and bustle is the quiet apartment and the great facilities. The introduction of Michell was comprehensive and lovingly, as we were not satisfied we have the flexibility to consider or need. But everything went smoothly. There were three, a fourth would also gepast yet. Should it be 5, must understand two okay. Finally, it has its price but this one is in Manhattan, the heart of life!
Das East Village ist ein tolles Viertel, trotz des Trubels ist die Wohnung ruhig und die Ausstattung prima. Die Einführung von Michell war umfassend und liebevoll, da wir zufrieden waren haben wir die Flexibilität nicht prüfen können oder müssen. Alles lief aber problemlos. Wir waren zu dritt, ein vierter hätte auch noch gepast. Sollten es 5 werden, müssen sich zwei schon gut verstehen. Abschließend hat es natürlich seinen Preis aber dafür ist man in Manhatten, mitten im Leben!
The first impression was not so good, but it was only because it is simply too much in the first room and there is something missing in some rammschig aussieht.Es of opportunities to put away when the Ap.etwas longer rented and the table was much large, there was hardly any space. Otherwise, everything was good, clean, more than enough dishes, glasses, towels etc.da.Die location is optimal, all in a few meters to erreichen.Toni the house manager is also great, very helpful and always ready to Stelle.Das was great. The preliminary information from Irma and Tony, all perfekt.DANKE!
Der erste Eindruck war nicht so gut,aber
es lag nur daran,das einfach zuviel im
ersten Zimmer steht und es dadurch etwas rammschig aussieht.Es fehlt etwas an Möglichkeiten zum wegräumen,wenn man das Ap.etwas länger mietet und der Tisch war viel zu groß,es war kaum noch Platz.
Ansonsten war alles gut,sauber,mehr als genug Geschirr,Gläser,Handtücher etc.da.Die Lage ist optimal,alles in ein paar Metern zu erreichen.Toni der Hausmanager ist auch super,sehr hilfsbereit und immer zur Stelle.Das war toll. Auch die Vorinformationen von Irma und Toni,alles perfekt.DANKE!!!
Incredibly convenient location! Very nice landlord. Nice apartment.
Otroligt bra läge!

Besonders nett wurden wir auch empfangen von Michelle, die uns bei Fragen beigestanden hat und sich sehr bemüht hat, uns behiflich zu sein !!!
Alles in allem eine sehr empfehlenwerte Unterkunft - wir kommen gerne wieder !!!!
I was there with 2 teen-age grandsons for 4 nights. We really loved the feel of the apartment and adored having the garden patio. Perhaps I didn't read the fine print, but I was surprised that a few very basic things like soap bars and washcloths were not provided. Of course, that did not keep us from having a wonderful time. The innards of the toilet kept us wondering if they would break down completely; we had to fix the chain once and hoped it would hold. The boys particularly liked the idea of feeling like we lived in NYC. Thanks. Gail Weber Mewborn
I stayed here for 3 nights with my husband in October 2012. The apartment was well located and clean. We didn't spend much time there as we wanted to experience the city but it had everything we needed and was well equipped. The beds were comfortable, the apartment was quiet and the WiFi was a definite asset!
Very nice, charming apartment and cozy garden, with tree and birds in the heart of East Village, highly recommendable. Independent entrance. Everything worked properly in the property. Useful material about city and neighbourhood provided. Owners are very friendly and helpful.
Zentral gelegene schöne Wohnung für 3 Personen geeignet. Gute Auastattung, relativ ruhig, etwas dunkel. Diverse gute Restaurants, Cafés und die Subway in unmittelbarer Nähe. Sehr zu empfehlen.

Proposed bus fare increase would benefit troubled neighborhood
Owl Creek community in south Madison asked for bus route
MADISON, Wis. - Madison Mayor Paul Soglin is aiming to save an isolated southeast side neighborhood by giving people a way out.
Soglin's budget calls for extending a Metro bus route into the Owl Creek community, which he would pay for with a 25 cent adult bus fare increase.
The proposal could be one of the most contentious as the city council debates the budget this month, as bus rider advocates push back against the fare increase. Residents in the neighborhood, which sits north of Sigglekow Road and east of Stoughton Road/U.S. 51, have said without a bus route, they can't get to work or school.
"We're really in the middle of nowhere," said Uniqua Greer, a recent high school graduate.
Greer said she wants to attend Madison Area Technical College to pursue a child psychology degree, but her mother uses the family's only vehicle to get to work.
"Anywhere you go from here, it's going to take 30 minutes to an hour," she said. "I work in Mcfarland, and I walk there. It takes a while, and now that it's getting cold, who wants to walk?"
To pay for the route, adult cash fares would increase to $2.25 from $2. Disabled senior monthly passes would go up nearly 50 percent, and all other rates would increase, too.
The City Transit and Parking Commission gave approval Wednesday to hold a public hearing on the proposed Madison Metro bus fare increase. The rising fared are also due to Soglin's 5 percent tax reduction, and would affect adult cash fares, adult 31 day passes and senior/disabled 31 day passes.
Gary Poulson, Transit and Parking Commission chair, said that the Metro has tried to find 5 percent to cut from their budget and is also trying to add services to areas like Owl Creek.
Metro has scheduled a public hearing on the proposed fares for 6 p.m. on Nov. 7 in the City Council chambers. For information, visit cityofmadison.com/metro/publichearing/index.cfm.
Owl Creek isn't even a decade old, yet some community leaders now say it never should have been built.
The community is only three streets long, and low-income apartments and duplexes line each road. Many lots remain empty, and an entry point from the north is still a dirt road.
The city should have never approved a low-income neighborhood so far removed from city services, work and school, said Susan De Vos, president of the Madison Area Bus Advocates.
De Vos agrees that they need public transportation, yet does not think "the way (the city's) paying for it is the right way," she said.Proposed bus fair increase would benefit troubled neighborhood
Soglin's plan to help low-income people will hurt others who rely on the bus in other parts of the city, De Vos said.
"They just can't keep dealing with the increases everywhere they turn, they just can't," she said.
Jill Aruguete, a nurse at La Follette High School, which the Owl Creek kids attend, said many weren't getting involved in after-school activities. Some weren't showing up to school at all, because if they miss the morning bus, they don't have a ride, she said.
"I think (the proposed route) will help make our kids more successful," she said.
She gathered a group of about 30 Owl Creek students together last fall, and all of them named transportation as the key issue in their neighborhood.
They began collecting signatures, and the petition they delivered to city leaders was part of the reason the new bus route is in the budget, Aruguete said.
"We had a meeting with the students (Tuesday) and told them it was in the budget, and there was applause," she said. "They were pretty happy."

Hello all,
This was originally Eternal Padawans idea and he should get the credit(if any ) for this movement.Brandon was also helpful in providing an address for LFL.Thanks to you both.
I rewrote the petitions slightly just for more clarity and had my wife proof read them.She went to Rutgers,I went to Hell in a hand basket.
Anyway.Please read them,make copies and hand them out in the toy aisles and to other collectors every where.For those of you who are interested in participating,take them to the other forum sites as well.
Let's set this thing on fire!!I'd like to see 10,000 of both sent out.
Not all that hard really.Considering how many of us there are.
There are some who donnot agree with this,so if there is any flames here,please do not respond.Lets not take a chance on getting the thread closed.
One final note.In both petitions it speaks of representatives from each site and venue.
I disqualify myself from any such position.If the request ever came to pass.It would be major cheese for me to even think about it after having written the petitions.
Now lets see if I can do this right.
I had to come back and remind you all that there two seperate petitions.The download number aren't even.

Love pork and sweet potatoes? Here's an easy way to get this favorite combo in a slow cooker meal.
You can use apple juice for the chicken broth.
The flavor of dark-orange sweet potatoes is preferred, but you can use whatever variety you like. Also, after browning the roast, use a small amount of chicken broth to deglaze the pan. Heat the broth in the skillet, and stir to loosen the browned bits of food on the bottom.

D(EFF)CONtestants have until Wednesday, July 4, 2012 at 11:59:59 PM PDT to claim one of the top prizes in our third annual DEF CON fundraising contest! Included with this year's l33t loot for the top three: a stay at the Rio Hotel and Casino, DEF CON 20 Human Badges, Ninja Party badges, and passes to theSummit. In addition, every D(EFF)CONtestant who encourages their peers to raise at total of $500 or more will automatically receive a limited edition EFF DEF CON 20 Script Kitty t-shirt!
Coders have never been more important to the security of the Internet. By identifying and disclosing vulnerabilities, coders are able to improve security for every user who depends on information systems for their daily life and work. Yet this week, European Parliament will debate a new draft of a vague and sweeping computer crime legislation that threatens to create legal woes for researchers who expose security flaws.
With weeks left to go on our third annual fundraising contest, supporters have already raised over $4,000 in donations to help support EFF and the Coders' Rights Project! Our thanks to The Holy Handgrenades leading the pack at $1,410.78, with last year's Grand Prize Winners InfoSec Daily Podcast (ISDPodcast) at $801, followed closely by the dc404 crew at $675. You're doing great! EFF's annual D(EFF)CONtest helps fund tireless legal defense, activism, counseling, and community education for professional security researchers and tinkerers alike. Through these donor-supported efforts, EFF stands behind everyone who values knowledge and the freedom to innovate.
Two weeks ago, Steve Wozniak made a public call for Apple to open its platforms for those who wish to tinker, tweak and innovate with their internals.
EFF supports Wozniak's position: while Apple's products have many virtues, they are marred by an ugly set of restrictions on what users and programmers can do with them. This is most especially true of iOS, though other Apple products sometimes suffer in the same way. In this article we will delve into the kinds of restrictions that Apple, phone companies, and Microsoft have been imposing on mobile computers; the excuses these companies make when they impose these restrictions; the dangers this is creating for open innovation; why Apple in particular should lead the way in fixing this mess. We also propose a bill of rights that need to be secured for people who are purchasing smartphones and other pocket computers.

text: Tommaso Salini was a contemporary rival of Caravaggio and his influence can be seen in the strong light, which enhances the solidity of the figures. Mars the God of War is represented here by the ram of the Zodiac and was often depicted this way in pastoral scenes associated with the month of March. Salini may also be suggesting a religious connection, as the Virgin Mother is traditionally shown wearing blue and red.

First of all, I'd like to thank everyone who worked on or participated in the shoot. This was the first State Championship still target shoot sponsored by the Jackson County Wild Turkeys. We're a new chapter, just in our second year but we have a great committee and group of volunteers.
We had a good turnout of shooters and spectators at the recently reopened Rend Lake Shooting Complex in Ina, Illinois. It was an overcast day but we concluded the event without being hampered by any rain.
The Winners
20 Gauge Open Class
1st Place: Steve Conover - Indian Creek Choke
2nd Place: Doris Bush - Truglo Choke
JAKES 20 Gauge Open Class

We were able to begin the shoot at about 9:30 a.m. and shooters were on their way home by 1:00 p.m., with some very nice prizes, I might add.
Again, a big thank you to all the shooters, workers and to the Rend Lake Shooting Complex for making this shoot a real success.

The funny thing is I kept two of the sale price tags and they clearly state that the price of 4.99 is good till 7/4/2010. I asked the manager what the deal was and of course she says"corporate". Again another case of false advertising by tru!!

Just like the title says, who do you feel are the top 3 worst lead vocalists ever in a rock band and why?
Here are my choices.
3. Paul Stanley: KISS -KISS always felt more like a stage show/gimmick than a band to me and Stanley's vocals are so off key at times it almost seems like a joke. I've often wondered if his position as the bands frontman was obtained by default considering the other band members vocal talents, or lack there of.
2. Fred Durst: Limp Bizkit -While the band actually has had some talent, namely the departed Wes Borland, ole' Fred Durst's vocals are some of the most annoying and whiny I've heard in recent memory. His off the mike antics don't help his already overexposed and overrated image either.
1. Scott Stapp: Creed -This Eddie Vedder wannabe is not only a terrible lead vocalist but a pompous arse to boot making it all the easier to hate the guy. Creed as a band comes off as hypocritically preachy and are too damn serious for their own good.

fly presentation techniques
Unlike the active retrieve methods of the tropical, northeast, or warmwater scenes - this presentation style is one of swimming the fly in an carefully calculated manner through the complexities of the river's domain.
Steelhead fly presentation, like it's mentor the salmon fly presentation, is all in the positioning of the rod, line, fly and more importantly the resulting tension on the fly as it is swum (swimmed?) down through the promising lies in the pool.
There are perhaps dozens of famous names for these techniques and hundreds more unnamed ones, but these would be the list in a nutshell for me.
Given the three basic elements of the presentation:
1) cast
2) swing
3) finish
variation in these three provides a wide range of combinations. Whether one casts upstream or downstream makes a huge difference. Whether one applies tension on the fly or not is everything to the swing. The finish is often when the payoff occurs.
The most simple is the classic salmon swing. You cast slightly down and across the river, then put the brakes on the fly so that it eases down and across at about half the current speed or less. If the current is faster between you and the fly, you'll need to mend to keep a slight curve in the line in the direction of the oncoming current. The current eventually straigtens out the upriver curve, so you repeat mending. This ensures that the fly swims downriver from the line which swims downriver from you. The result is that the fly positions itself in the current, facing toward the leader butt upstream, and the feathers undulate temptingly in the current. Because it is not flotsam it attracts the attention of the steelhead. If the fly is meticulously tied to appeal to some deeply buried memory in the fish's brain, or to trigger an aggresive reaction that the fish can not inhibit, the angler is in for the fight of his life from a giant silver trout.
(next: part 2 of series - setting the swing upriver)
RE:fly presentation techniques
Basics... cont'd
When using a sinktip in a "slot" shaped pool, fishing deep into the drop off at the foot of rapids, or being limited to where you can stand to reach a good lie - it often helps to be able to set your line up so that it is parallel to the current flow, upstream and deeply mended... to avoid whiplashing the fly in the current. There are far more important and effective techniques but this one provides an effective method to set-up the basic swing (previous message) when you need it.
Essentially, the cast is made directly across or even upstream - but to avoid creating a sail in the line and whipping the fly downriver, a combination roll / mend is thrown into the line to set the line into a sharp upcurrent "hairpin" bend. The fly is able to penetrate the current because the line is laying with the direction of flow and the upriver bend takes the currents force. You can even half-mend the near side of the mend as it swings into position. By the time the line has reached "normal" position (above) the fly is much deeper having traveled from an upstream position into the "swing zone" without drag or whiplash. You can now apply the half-current speed tension and the fly swims in a much deeper plane than without.
For sinktips, you need to be careful not to snag from the extra depth charge.
One nuance is that if a fish takes while on the descent, you won't feel the direct take unless you are in the swing zone. Although rare that a fish strikes just then (as opposed to the swing or hang down), the ways I've found out that a fish has taken the fly in the past include line feeling 'hung up' and but a flick of the wrist to free the fly and suddenly the pool explodes.
Another is that you really aren't fishing the fly until you apply tension on the line... the initial part of the drift is for setting up the deep swing and not for hooking a fish per se. Of course I can recall several times when fish took on the setup and I didn't know it until the line tightened up with a twang! (but not as a general rule).
Next... finding and working steelhead lies. There's a joke there somewhere
RE:fly presentation techniques
Before moving into discussions about holding water, there are a lot more presentation notes to cover. I've only got my little slice of thinking on this topic but it's an area that has raised centuries worth of contemplation on the rivers of the world. Although the trout doctors of the world may have a myriad of such presentation nuances to cover, the steelheader (as I know him) is a pragmatist, a hunter, an optimist who swims his pet flies in the mysteries of the river's promising features. The connection is not so much one of following the observable actions of the fish like it is in trout fishing - it's more like the making of a connection to the psyche of the steel-forged searun rainbow; to appeal to some deeply imprinted notion that lacks inhibition in the giant trout's mind, to invoke a split-second of weakness from it's steadfast goals to defeat the river's obstacles - to achieve that which many consider to be among the most worthy of challenges in flyfishing - the steelhead on a fly.
And I don't mean with split shots, or slinkies and strike indicators... I mean with a greased line and a Spey fly in the surface film, or a riffle hitched deerhair caddis waked high and dry. Moved, hooked and landed like it was meant to be done.
And so the third primary technique... the greased line / broadside swing. In this technique, the fly is cast slightly down and across, where the rod postion and mending maintain the fly in a nearly crosswise postion to the current (and thus the fish). The fly is "led" down and across toward the near bank, maintaining an effect where the fly distinctly swims across as it drifts downcurrent in the lie. By leading the fly through the whole lie, the rod ends up pointed downriver toward the shoreline trees by the time the swing has advanced to it's end. Because of the position of the fly, when a fish strikes the hook is almost always in the near corner of the mouth, ensuring a high probability that the hook will not be thrown. This technique, or at least the way I employ the technique, is particularly good for provoking aggresive fish during twilight hours.
I like to cover long bouldery somewhat non-descript runs with each of the three techniques before stepping to the next position. Setting the deep swing works best when standing in rapids positioning the fly into a deep trough just downriver. The standard swing works well when covering large stretches of holding water, searching out aggresive fish. The broadside swing has produced best for me at first light and dusk then fish move into the trenches and pockets near shore, and are prone to be triggered into aggresive strikes as the fly scurries across their strike zone.
Regardless of which cast and presentation technique, the fly swings into a downriver position before each subsequent cast. What you do during this finishing moment is important - a very large percentage of the fish you hook will occur on the "hang down". There is plenty of fishing left at the end of the swing, especially where the currents are complex and there are opportunities to mend to either side to keep the fly swimming provokingly.
Next - the hang-down technique...

A world of dew,
and within every dewdrop
a world of struggle.
For what it's worth, Elder Scrolls Online is looking pretty awesome.
I haven't played an MMO hardcore for a couple of years now. But I lost over 2 years of my life to EVE Online. I played that game for several hours every day and it would not be unusual to lose about 12 hours a day playing, sometimes!
I also tried Lord of the Rings Online, Age of Conan, and World of Warcraft. But they all sort of felt similar and were not as addicting as EVE was.
I would really like to try the Elder Scrolls MMO. Elder Scrolls Oblivion and Skyrim were my two favorite games on the Xbox and the only games I ever got perfect 1000 scores in achievements.
I also loved the Knights of the Old Republic games and would be up for playing that MMO, as well.
I just don't know if I have time now with a new job starting. That's really the whole thing about MMOs - they will usually suck up your life!

I use to play WoW, played it since 2006, but the raiding 3-4 days a week just got very very old. Sitting in vent for 2-3 hours listening to nerds talk about their nerd days didn't help either.
I'm a sandbox kinda guy. I can't do the themparks. You guys should check out The Repopulation if you haven't heard of it, it will release sometime this year. Wildstar also looks like it may be OK..although..it's a themepark.
Probably going to have to wait until EQ Next for what I personally want. I grew up playing UO though so I'm not really into the whole raiding/dungeon stuff. I'm used to more freedom of choices and open world.
planetside 2 here. play on connery. so much potential in this game...........
WoW is only time consuming if you raid (or if you haven't gotten to max-level yet), & personally I think PvE is pretty lame.
I exclusively PvP & I doubt I log more than 2 hours a week on WoW.
My Funniest MMO story.
I was at my buddies house one night and we proceeded to get hammered. I passed out and he apparently went online to play eve but blacked out.
The next morning he woke up...
"WTF!!! My dude is sitting in an escape pod and all my credits are gone."
Now I know nothing about eve online and I am sure the explanation is pretty mundane, but it is funny to imagine him blowing all his money on internet space hookers or something.

"No time to discuss this as a supercommittee.... I am not a supercommittee!"
Here's a pic of me & my wife with Astrid & Walter
Anywho . . . we both love Fringe, never miss it even when that craptacular American Idol runs over by 10 minutes. I have my DVR set to record til 10:15 just to make sure we don't miss an ending. Fringe is what the X-Files should have been - it has the same wit and mystery and tension, but the "monster of the week" format is much better defined in Fringe, and even when there are arc-centric episodes they still exsist outside of the overall conspiracy/story arc. Duchovny is a better actor than Josh Jackson, and Anderson & Torv are basically even. Fringe's supporting cast is far and away superior, especially John Noble, who must have so much fun with the lines they give him.
But Fox is a joke. They better pick this up for next season or a lot of people are going to get cranky.
Please, please please let CV be on the east coast!
Seriously, Fox is notorious for cancelling shows abruptly & making poor decisions in regards to what should come back & what they keep. I could go off on a Millennium rant here, but I'll hold it in.
When we met John Noble in February, I made a point of asking him if he knew anything about next season being a go. His answer, basically, was "Well, we feel like we should get picked up. JJ (Abrams) feels like we will get picked up. We all think we deserve it. But you know, we are on Fox."
And did everyone watch last night? Very cool episode, very creepy. And for those Anna Torv fans, there was a very, very, very, ummm, intense moment. (Trying to be appropriate - there was a "sexual situatons" warning at the beginning.) Hard to watch with my wife sitting on the couch right next to me.
Also loved how they introduced the actor who is playing William Bell in the episode without actually showing him. If you know the voice, you know the actor.
And if you didn't already know it, John Noble has a very thick accent. Watch the "go green" commercial he does about halfway through the episode.
Please, please please let CV be on the east coast!
So does anyone else see, or look for, The Observer in all these other episodes? He is always hanging around or walking by a scene where something (usually pattern related) is happening. During every episode I try and find him, and I have been rather successful. Found him in every episode (since his introduction) with exception to maybe one or two eps. Its a game I play while watching, kind of like "Where's Waldo?". I think it is genius on the shows part, just curious how many other people are doing the same thing. I love it! And I love this show!
"That's the best deal you're gonna get. I won't tell you you can save yourself, because you can't."
Let's catch a show! Pippin'? You have to tune in each week for Walter's Words of Wisdom.
Yeah, Liv's moments with the stripper were....ah, interesting.
Dude, the Observer is awesome! Always fun catching him hanging around here and there. You've got to really be paying attention some times - he can be tricky to spot and occasionally only shows up for a split second!
Yeah, the whole deal with the stripper was somewhat of a thrill, but I enjoyed the exercise sequence at the beginning of the show even more. Not often that we've got to see Agent Dunham out of her pants suit!
