A series of points too small for a real post.* While I was in Boston for the US National Figure Skating Championships (of which more later!! THEY WERE SO GREAT) I also got to go with Ratty to the Museum of Fine Arts. It has some terrific Spanish painting from the Counter-Reformation era--I love this stuff, even in the court paintings you feel like you can smell the blood. The only thing that glows is the flesh of the Crucified. There's an extremism which I think some people find wearying but … [Read more...]

Sep 6, 2013
By: Brian Rice
James Stone has a great appreciation for the position that he and his fellow offensive linemen have been placed in this season. Rarely is the focus and attention on an offensive line entering a season.
The Vols return four of five starters on the offensive line, a unit that allowed just eight sacks in 2012. With a new quarterback under center and a young receiving corps, the line will be called on to replicate that protection in 2013.
Despite the experience, Stone is a little surprised that his until has drawn the attention and expectations that they have.
"We are kind of surprised because we've had some success as a group, but the team and the seasons haven't been going as we had hoped," Stone said. "It just kind of gives you something to work for and something you can use for motivation."
Stone has started 27 games in his three seasons heading into 2013, including eight starting nods as a freshman in 2010. A season ago, he started all twelve games for Tennessee at center, helping the Vols to five games with 500-plus yards of total offense, including a school-record 718 yards vs. Troy on Nov. 3.
Even with the experience returning up front for Tennessee, Stone said that helping develop depth on the line has been a focus and a source of pride for him in the preseason.
"We want it to be where we don't have to say anything," he said of providing leadership to the younger players working in with the starting unit. "It's good to see guys respond and see guys put the pressure on the younger guys who may not get reps on Saturdays. They need to know they have to work at practice to get reps on game day."
Part of that pressure comes from Butch Jones and the coaching staff. For a senior, adjusting to another new system could be difficult. After all, offensive line coach Don Mahoney is the third position coach Stone has worked with in four seasons at UT.
But Stone said buying into the system that Jones and his staff brought in was the most important thing he did in the offseason and that any hiccups along the way wouldn't stand in the way of developing long-term success.
"That's when you have to just focus on the process," Stone said of setbacks on the playing field. "Coach Jones and the staff - they lay out the proven process on how you go about becoming a winning football team. You have to take it day by day and get better each minute and focus on the process. You can't really worry about last season. Just focus on the process of what develops winning teams. If you do it every day, you're going to get better every day."

birth to Covenant. We make wine from grapes grown in some of the finest vineyards of
Northern California and Israel. As such, we strive to harness quality in the glass that is
commensurate with the rich and profound story of the Jewish people.

GateWall DNS Filter Cloud: Cloud-Based Service on Amazon EC2 Platform
Entensys, a leading Russian software developer dealing in Internet security solution is glad to announce the full-fledged release of GateWall DNS Filter Cloud, its cloud-based service on Amazon EC2 platform.
Cloud services are now a global trend and offer multiple benefits. Companies using such solutions can avoid the need to support their own servers, and still enjoy a much greater level of reliability and data security.
Today, users have a whole range of free Internet filtering solutions before them. The main drawback of such solutions though is a very limited database of websites. As a rule, these include only the most popular Internet resources, and that approach does not provide the required level of threat protection. GateWall DNS Filter Cloud uses a website database that lists more than 500 million Internet resources, divided by categories for greater operating convenience. For example, users can block access to such website groups as "Social Networks," "Job Search," etc.
With the cloud-based GateWall DNS Filter service, users have access to reporting and analysis, as well as custom filter settings. The solution operates on the Amazon EC2 platform, which offers high efficiency and 99.99% reliability.
"Soon working in a "cloud" will be just as common for a modern person as using a cell phone to communicate, for example," said Dmitry Kurashev, Entensys CEO. "We are rapidly moving towards the world where companies will no longer have to use their own servers, and the popularity of GateWall DNS Filter Cloud (even during testing), is more evidence of this trend."
The user operates the cloud service through a special account profile available after registration and connection. User-friendly interface and a system of prompts will help you to find your way about GateWall DNS Filter Cloud.

General David Petraeus in a recent discussion with British military leaders used baseball expressions in order to clarify the situation in Afghanistan. He emphasized the Taliban had been driven from key areas in Helmand and Kandahar which has compelled them to reflect on future strategy. But, "the Taliban wants to reverse that. They want to regain those areas that were so important to them." He went on to use the analogy that the Taliban are playing an "away game," but their ultimate strategy is to play a "home game." We assume that means regaining control of lost areas and assuming leadership in key areas of Afghanistan. Of course, at no time did General Petraeus use the expression, "home run" because it is doubtful if the current Afghan government even knows the meaning of the expression.
Petraeus emphasized that President Karzai is seriously attempting to contact Taliban leaders in hope of reaching a compromise. We believe such an agreement would constitute the "home run" that wins the ball game in Afghanistan.

Despite Albany Chaos, AIDS Agenda Goes On
Posted by , March 05, 2010 at 1:17am
Despite the latest Albany drama, and Governor Paterson in limbo, there are still important AIDS-related bills that need to pass— including 30 percent rent cap legislation and the Gender Expression Nondiscrimination Act. Both have been held up in the Senate.
At Albany AIDS Awareness Day last Tuesday, some 200 people with AIDS from Syracuse to Buffalo to the Bronx lobbied for these bills and other issues that impact people living with HIV/AIDS. The event was organized by the New York AIDS Coalition (NYAC).
Rumors circulated that the 30 percent rent cap bill might pass through the Senate that Tuesday night, but instead the Senate passed a resolution declaring a Dominican week in New York,and went home. The legislation, which would cap the rent of people with HIV/AIDS in subsidized housing at 30 percent of their incomes, passed in the Assembly this session and needs to pass in the Senate. It passed last session, after an impassioned speech by Sen. Tom Duane.
"It should pass pretty soon," said Mark Furnish, Duane's legislative counsel. It passed largely last year, and will pass this year, because it's the right thing to do."
The 30 percent rent cap bill would address a cruel disparity, so New Yorkers living with HIV/AIDS no longer have to pay more than 30 percent of their public benefits (such as Veterans' or disability benefits) toward their rent. Because of this policy, many people are living on as little as $12 a day. Analysis shows that this legislation would actually save the City and State money, by limiting money spent in rent arrears.
With Albany in flux—and the Democrats down a member with Monseratte expelled—the Senate leadership is dotting its I's and crossing its T's before bringing legislation to the floor
"I think they just want to patiently move forward with the agenda," said New York City AIDS Housing Network Executive Director Sean Barry. "We've gotten a lot of assurances by Sen. Duane and Sampson that this is a top priority."
Other bills being pushed by the AIDS community last Tuesday were the decriminalization of possession of hypodermic needles with residue; promoting HIV awareness license plates
to provide revenue for transportation for people with AIDS; and the Healthy Teens Act, which would be New York's first dedicated funding stream to support comprehensive sex education in schools.
And there's been one victory already! One of the bills on the lobbying agenda, The Family Health Care Decision Act, passed the Senate Wednesday after being stalled for 17 years. The bill has already passing through the Assembly and enables a health care proxy to make medical decisions if a person is incapacitated. New York was one of only two states in the nation that bars family members from making treatment decisions for incapacitated patients.
On the a-GENDA?
Another bill that is definitely cost-neutral is the Gender Expression Nondiscrimination Act (GENDA), which would prohibit discrimination of transgender and gender nonconforming people. The bill passed the Assembly twice, and is awaiting passage in the Senate. Advocates are meeting with Sen. Duane tomorrow to discuss the future of the legislation. Duane's counsel said "we don't have the votes yet" to pass GENDA.
"The senator's been lobbying every day on this," Furnish said. "We need 32 votes, and I believe we're really, really close."
This bill has been championed by Housing Works and supported by the AIDS community. Transgender people are disproportionately affected by HIV/AIDS.
"Passing GENDA should be a no-brainer," said NYAC Executive Director Brittany Allen.
Lobby day
In addition to the stated agenda, advocates also told their personal stories. At a meeting with Assemblymember George Amedor's office, a woman with AIDS in Troy spoke of being turned away from a hospital when she had a collapsed lung because the doctors didn't feel they had the HIV/AIDS expertise to treat her—even though her medical emergency wasn't AIDS-related.
"There's a lack of HIV/AIDS 101 among rural-area doctors and hospital clinic facilities," said Scott Daly, a person living with HIV since 1985 and the cochair of the Policy Education and Advisory Committee of the Northeastern NY CARE Network, who attended that meeting.
Daly said his team also spoke about worries with the AIDS Institute's collapsing funding lines and the lack of HIV prevention education.blog comments powered by Disqus

Showcase of PCCs/E-Mobiles, Geneva Conference April 30 and May 1, 2012
As you know, our NTIA program officer who has overseen our project will be attending our Geneva conference. This is a wonderful opportunity for each of us to show exactly how important PCC and E-Mobiles services are to our communities. PCCs and E-mobiles are asked to prepare materials and create a presentation explaining and highlighting local programming and strengths. Each should bring the following to Geneva:
- A "one pager" containing facts and statistics related to PCC/E-Mobile services. This should be no longer than one sheet of paper front and back and be designed to give our program officer a summary of your services and achievements. Please e-mail me an electronic copy of this document at least 1 week prior to the conference. I will create a NYS Broadbandexpress@yourlibrary notebook for him/her.
- A three-minute program regarding your PCC/E-Mobile. A PCC/E-Mobile representative or representatives will be asked to present this information and provide further information during a short question and answer period. The purpose is to represent the best parts of your program to fellow participants and to our federal program officer. You may use presentation software of your choice for this segment of the conference. A laptop, projector, screen and microphone will be available for your use.
Additionally, by March 30, 2012, please send me three PowerPoint slides: one of PCC/E-Mobile staff and another of your PCC/E-Mobile itself. The third should be of something that represents an aspect of your PCC/E-mobile services that you particularly want to highlight. I will use these to create a show to run during breakfast and breaks.
As ever, as you work to prepare these materials, if you have questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Tipton Airport expansion plan is pitting aviation against wildlife
A planned runway extension at Tipton Airport in Laurel is encountering turbulence.
In the 15 years since the former U.S. Army airfield at Fort George C. Meade reopened as a public-use general aviation airport, Tipton has steadily grown to the point where it is fully occupied.
It's all online in Calvert County
In old-fashioned walk-around communities, construction projects were everybody's business. In these times of zipping past in cars, who knows what's going and coming?
In Calvert County, you can find out online. What's Going Where lets you track commercial projects county wide. You can search by postal Zip Code or review a list of projects completed in the last 12 months.
Three nights to make gift-buying fun
Shopping is more fun at stores that want your business. To lure you in, New York City stores fill their windows with scenes as highly produced as a Broadway show. Annapolis throws three after-hours parties. The festivities are good enough to win the city Travel & Leisure magazine's vote as one of America's Best Towns for the Holidays.
Jump right in at Calvert Marine Museum
Visit Calvert Marine Museum starting October 11 and you'll see all the way from the heights of the sky to the sheltering shallows to the dark depths. You'll see life beneath the surface. You'll see octopoid special effects that outsmart CGI animation, part of the ordinary antics of 150 species in the greater Chesapeake community.
What you won't see is how this miracle of 21st century estuarine immersion came to be.
Bayside History Museum
Museums like the Smithsonians we visit in Washington show us the wonders of the world. Little community museums tell us our own stories excavated from the sands of time.
In North Beach, the Bayside History Museum takes threads of families, activities, and places over the last 130 years and presents them in a wonderful quilt of fun, tradition and culture.
The story spins out of the place it's rooted.
Annapolis Maritime Museum fits big stuff in little package
Like the Little Engine that Could, the Annapolis Maritime Museum has to do everything its bigger counterparts do, just in a smaller package.
Measured by how many people it touches each year, the little museum grows in stature, with 10,000 tourists visiting in a year plus 5,000 locals stopping by for visits and events and 3,000 students coming for education programs.
Unearthing a forgotten past
At Serenity Farm in Benedict, you'll find 100 acres devoted to Farming 4 Hunger (see this week's feature story). It's also a place for farm tours and events, hayrides and petting zoo, shearing sheep and tobacco barns.
Maryland's history is rooted there, too.
The closest you can get to World War II
A legendary World War II-era B-17 Flying Fortress takes to the skies this weekend.
"This is the closest thing you can get to the battlefield experience," said Bob Hill, chief Liberty Foundation pilot.
On and in the waters of the Patuxent
Old barns dripping with honeysuckle and trumpet vines, owlets in cobwebbed rafters, fishermen's shacks on piers glistening with old fish scales, swallows' nests glued beneath the splintery planks, pilings where ospreys build their messy nests like ornithological games of pick-up-sticks, duck blinds where wild ducks nest …
Visiting friends and family gets you go-go-going
I lived on the verge of our nation's capital my whole life until I moved to Vermont to go to college. Only when a friend from Sweden came home with me for spring break did I understand the treasure I'd taken for granted.

I just noticed the following line in the .htaccess of a wp network install
... # uploaded files RewriteRule ^files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$1 [L] ...
while i can understand the reasons behind such implementation, the above rule still causes a massive drop in server performances because all uploads are served via php (like timthumb)
a quick fix
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^theme4\.themes\.domain.com$ [NC] RewriteRule ^files/(.+) wp-content/blogs.dir/5/files/$1 [L] RewriteRule ^files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$1 [L]
where theme4.themes.domain.com is a site of the newtwork with siteID = 5 this way, uploads will be again served directly by the webserver.
I guess other theme authors here may use a newtwork installation for their previews so decided to share.
@tsafi that's actually me debugging js on ie8
Install WP Super cache, mod_rewrite method as that alone will boost your webserver performances far more than any other optimization.
here some stats from our ded server
before -> 30 requests/sec now -> 5.500 request/secBF
Well there you have it, 2 authors from the list would rather stay as we are now. So that's the way we'll stay.
xstortionist saidLanding page address has been already sent to all the partecipants, project page with tech details will be created on our site, any author who joined will be granted read access to Adwords/GA from where they could get all possible info about the campaign.
For one, there is no aggressive attitude. Do you see anywhere I am typing in "ALL CAPS ?"
All I'm asking for is data. Is that so much to ask for? Like what's the landing pages? What's the Click-Thru-Rates? What keywords are you bidding on? What types of experiments are you running? Other people have asked about the landing pages as well.Hit me up, I'm not selling anything, I just want to help you guys out with the PPC campaigns and I know I will be able to increase visibility and provide suggestions to help the cause. I do not want to get in on the action, just help you guys with the campaigns.
But asking for that data before, like we need to persuade you to buy our product, tells me you still missing the point of this project.
So you're GAQI and only want to help us? Then i have nothing against you handling the whole AD campaign yourself as long as
- all involved authors would agree
- you will do it for free.
60 out of 75$ will go directly to google, 15 are for general expenses related to the project so i don't get where such aggressive attitude is coming from since it is obvious to anybody we're not making any direct,personal profit from the project.
I personally invested countless hours in developing the backend, setting the campaign, integrate it with GA, building scripts to track conversion and estimate sales and you know what ? i did it for free the first time, i'll do it for free again.
This is a community project: you trust us, you join – you don't, nobody forces you. Frankly, we have better ways to invest our time than trying to sell shit to other fellow authors.
We're pretty busy at the moment finishing off a piece of work and will be sending instruction to everyone as soon as we can. Don't worry all is well, you'll hear from us soon.
Cheers, Donagh.
PixelBuffet saidThat's actually the most important thing to do as the huge majority of compromised sites are due to script kiddies/hackers wannabes running tools (they just downloaded) to find and exploit well know vulnerabilities.
Also once you get the site back up and running, research every plugin you've used to see if anyone has reported vulnerabilities.
I had a WP site hacked in a similar way, and it was because they exploited a vulnerability in a plugin.
Widely used CMSs like wp, joomla as well as their top plugins/themes are those tools primary targets.
I agree that the prices need to be reviewed and increased.
Not only has the quality of the themes gone waaaaay up meaning authors are putting more time into their work, but the cost of living has gone up also. Because of inflation (different for each country/currency) this means that year on year, the amount our earnings is worth has actual gone down by several % per year.
- So the standards have gone up (increasing the value for the buyer)
- The prices have stayed the same (decreasing the value for the author)
- Inflation means our earnings don't stretch as far as the previous year.
Not good, not good at all. Envato has probably the best theme portfolio of any online marketplace, so the buyers will still come. They also understand that each year everything must rise its price to at least keep pace with inflation. Heck they have probably already raised their freelance rates for this same reason. So there is only one loser in this situation and guess what, it's the Authors. Hurrrrray!
We do a little, twitter, Dribbble, Facebook, devient art, but prob the most effective is to have a "Buy this item" link in the actual preview on your own server, because then all of the direct google traffic can turn into referral and sale pairs.
In March we did
948 clicks > 24 registered members > 20 deposits
In general over the last 6-8 months we've had between 12 and 20 deposits per month, but the best thing is that these referrals usually come with a sale also, and since we are at the 70% mark, that means 100% of that purchase is ours.
Once we start selling WP themes, the value of these referrals will increase because the item prices will be higher, which will be nice

In gen 2, the coloration is a lot like the reverse in later gens, with the normal in 2 being the shiny in 5, etc. Worth noting? - unsigned comment from Mpcamel1729 (talk • contribs)

Those born after the United States sent a man to the moon have never experienced the sense of pride that once upon a time was felt by ALL Americans. Regardless of whether one was a Democrat, a Republican, had white or black skin or opposed the president of the United States, there was a burst of pride in being part of a society which had just sent a man to the moon. The man on the Moon represented each and every single person in the United States of America. There was a sense that we could accomplish great tasks and change the entire world.
Of course, those born in the 1920s and after had also shared such experiences when we were ALL Americans. The day after Pearl Harbor when President Franklin Roosevelt promised we would defeat Japan simply reflected the feeling of ALL Americans who were confident of victory even though just a few days earlier millions had demanded no war. We had this feeling on June 6, 1944 when British and American troops landed on the shores of France because we ALL knew it was simply another step on the road to meet the gallant Russian soldiers fighting against Nazism.
Of course we had the feeling on the day war ended against Nazi Germany and the day war ended against Japan. WE, together with our Allies had triumphed over great odds. Today, as I write these words my mind wonders why this feeling is no longer present in America. We now inhabit a land in which we can't even build a new tunnel under the Hudson River. We have lost the spirit of adventure and become a divided people whose hearts are filled with hate and anger.
I do not know if President Barack Obama could have been able to reach out to Republicans in some sense of comradeship. Perhaps, their hearts are too filled with hate. But, I do know that Obama never understood the importance of speaking WITH Americans to explain the need to work together. He never understood the importance of explaining the Affordable Care Act. He failed to hold weekly Press conferences which Franklin Roosevelt always offered. Perhaps, the division had proceeded too far. I do not know.

The interactive website is a fun and fitting online presence for a company that puts effective communication toward the top of its technology to-do list, not to mention its award-winning advertising campaigns. In fact, IT is so central to the company's communication efforts that responsibility for the guest relations call center falls under the leadership of CIO and VP of technology Debra Jensen. "The IT department here has responsibility not only for the technology, but also for guest relations," explains Jensen, who together with the company's vice president of system development Michael Verdesca, talks to Hospitality Technology about the current role, and some of the planned rollouts, of technology in communicating with Jack's guests and franchisees.
The ultimate goal is to provide restaurant operators with feedback that helps them quickly respond to service-related issues. To get there, the company recently began testing a system that sends text message notification to restaurant staff based on actionable calls that come into guest relations. The intent behind such a strategy is to alert restaurant managers that something is wrong now, not through a report that comes in a week later. Jensen doesn't expect a restaurant will necessarily be able to correct the issue then and there with the dissatisfied caller, since it's more likely that the guest will call customer service after they left the restaurant; "but if the food was wrong or the line is slow, we want to make sure we can get that fixed before the next guest comes in," says Jensen.
In the future, text messaging may also be used to communicate with the guests themselves. "Right now, they can call our 1-800 number, but we're trying to get to where we can be more interactive with the guest," explains vice president of system development Michael Verdesca. "So we can say, 'you can call or you can just text Jack.'" This project is in an early testing phase, with IT and operations departments in collaboration to determine the best opportunities for interacting with guests while they're in the restaurant. "Our demographic is younger people, and they text everyone. We want to make sure we're not missing their feedback," adds Jensen.
"The toolkit has everything an operator needs to promote his business," says Atour Eyvazian, a 49-unit Houston-based franchisee. "I can make one click and all of my restaurants are taken care of, which saves time and money."
Efforts on the toolkit have garnered awards for Jack in the Box, including Hospitality Technology's 2010 Breakthrough Award for "Excellence in Business Efficiency," and the QSR Magazine 2010 Applied Technology Award.
Next on the IT to-do list is the complete replacement of the company's supply chain solution with Oracle Advanced Supply Chain (www.oracle.com). Jack in the Box is one of the few QSRs to provide product distribution directly to its restaurants, as opposed to using a third party. As such, a second-phase roll out will include Oracle Warehouse Management. "We're not at 100 percent distribution, but we do most of them," explains Jensen. "We're looking at upgrading the technology in that area to capture all of the improvements made in supply chain tools over the years," she says; improvements such as the ability to share information between a restaurant and its vendor partners. But the major reason for the upgrade is speed-to-market; that is, getting food to the restaurants faster. "Our current model needs polling, and we want to get to a more centralized system where everything there is in real-time and we can do more with it," adds Verdesca. Both the supply chain and WMS technologies will be fully implemented by the first quarter of 2011.
Jensen also reveals intentions to completely replace the company's home-grown back-office systems, which together comprise more than 20 different applications, including labor management, time keeping, inventory, scheduling and more. "We're very close to making a decision," says Jensen, adding that the new solution will provide a centralized back office that brings significant efficiency to the reporting process.
The need for the replacement goes back to controlling costs, for both labor and food. "As a franchisor, we provide a lot of information back to our franchisees every morning, whether it's their cash and sales information or preliminary information on labor," says Verdesca. "We do a lot of exception reporting, too, and with a new system we'll be able to provide that back not only in a timely manner, but also allow stores to drill down into POS detail from their home office."
Jensen expects the complete overhaul, from supply chain to back office to warehouse management, will provide significantly more visibility not only because of the new systems' functionality, but because of how Jack in the Box will be able to use that data. "We might extract information and pair it up with other types of information to be able to produce multi-dimensional looks at our business," Jensen says. "It might not all come from back office. You might want to marry it up with supply chain or sales or other points of information to give you something truly meaningful."

Discussion in 'General Chevy & GM Tech Questions' started by Trucker, Jun 3, 2012.
Yes, as mentioned above, it's hard for us to give you help without the year of truck.
Hello Brian,
Thank you for your reply. It is packed with good information.
My truck is a 2000 with a 6.5 diesel. It is probably on the engine and yes, relocating it would be a good idea. I believe that heat may be the issue. I also, had been involed in a front end collision about a few hundred miles ago, so that could be an issue also.
I have tried to find it on the engine but still cannot.
---------- Post added at 12:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:29 PM ----------
Thanks to all those who welcomed me. I think I will like this forum and maybe be able to help others in the future.
Sorry, I'm not much help on the 6.5/6.2. More of a duramax guy myself.
Here ia a thread on another site I found that will help you decide if continuing this job yourself is within your abilities. http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/showpost.php?p=2992199&postcount=2 I have found a couple vids but they are so poorly shot that you will have a headache before you get halfway through, and they aren't very clear to see either. I will keep looking, and post the best pics I can find. The best thing you can do now, is get yourself a Haynes or Chilton manual that covers the 6.5 TD engine in detail,and read about the PMD. I was wrong about it being on top of the IP, it's on the side, and you can either remove and replace it, or just unplug the harness from it, add an extension, and place a new one in a cooler spot. Removing the cruise control assembly, and the coolant crossover, may help you get to the top and side of the IP. More to come, and good luck.
Brian L.
Brian, you made good sense
This makes the most sense. Thanks a lot I did not see the video you mentioned.
I found this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VE9oX2qo7Sk
That's the nicest one I ever saw. Good work finding that one. The two I found sucked. That's why I didn't post them. If you need anything else, let us know, and we will help all we can.
Brian L.
You have helped tremendously and I appreciate it very much!!! :happy:
I think that I may have found the PMD or FSD. I took a picture below for review.
Do you think this may be it?
Looks like you nailed it on the head. Nice job man! If that's on the left side of the engine, passenger side, I believe you got it.

The Calais Chaos: Is it the time to set up a new global forced migrant organization (GFMO)؟

Like many others, I was appalled and flabbergasted while watching the harrowing scenes at the "Jungle" make-shift camp in the city port of Calais where over three thousand 'would-be' refugees and other migrants live in shocking conditions. Reports indicate that at least ten of them lost their lives, not to mention racist attacks carried out by some Neo-Nazi Morons.
Events unfolding in northern France, is another stark reminder of the desperate need of 'would-be' refugees for a more fairer alternative to the Euro-centric refugee protection regime. Indeed the case of Calais is tantamount to sounding the death knell of the global refugee protection regime in Europe, the birthplace of what has become known human rights.
Apparently, Europe is at war with what they term (illegal migrants), many of whom survived the perilous journey across the Mediterranean on board traffickers' unseaworthy ships (Yousif: 2015*). The case of Calais is another aide memoire of the scale of forced migration which has reached unparallel proportions over the last few years. The onslaught in Syria which has been ongoing since 2011, the slide of Libya into anarchy in the aftermath of the capture and killing of Ghadaffi in October 2011 and human rights violations in many parts of the globe have forced desperate victims to end up in places like Calais.
From the perspective of the international refugee law, the treatment of those encamped in Calais, most of them fled countries riddled by civil wars and blatant human rights violations, amounts to violating Article 33,1.of the 1951 UN Refugee Convention.:-
'No Contracting State shall expel or return ('refouler') a refugee in any manner whatsoever to the frontiers of territories where his life or freedom would be threatened.....'(Article 33,1. The 1951 UN Refugee Convention).
Needless to say, the significance of this Article emanates from the fact that it is meant to be a safeguard against forcible deportation and a guarantee against expulsion while asylum claims are being processed. In the case of Calais, we are confronted with an egregious situation; asylum seekers are not allowed to apply for refugee status in France, and Britain is unwilling to allow open its borders for those who are desperately seeking protection (both countries are parties to the 1951 UN Refugee Convention).
Let us move on to see the reaction of UNHCR to the Calais catastrophe. Below is an excerpt of a press briefing made by the spokesperson of the UN Refugee Agency, Fleming Melissa:-
'UNHCR remains concerned at the dire living and reception conditions in the makeshift sites around Calais. We encourage the French authorities to gradually relocate people from the current informal settlements and provide them, as is the case in most European countries, adequate reception conditions in the Nord-Pas-de-Calais region as well as in other locations. It is also essential to address the current significant delays for those who want to apply for asylum in France. 07 August, 2015, http://www.unhcr.org/55c49b639.htmlhttp://www.unhcr.org/55c49b639.html
However, UNHCR's spokesperson 'soft' statement on Calais is a disgrace in comparison with statements issued by UNHCR when refugee rights are violated by a 'non-donating' developing country. Below is a statement made last year by the same UNHCR's Spokesperson when the Sudanese government deported a number of Eritrean asylum seekers:-
'The deportations represented an "act of repression" and could place the lives of those expelled in grave danger. Such deportations of asylum-seekers amount to refoulement and constitute a serious violation of the 1951 Refugee Convention, as well as the 2014 Sudanese Asylum Act," said Fleming. Eritrea is a country of concern - people leaving Eritrea are in need of international protection, as their lives would be in danger if they were to be returned. The UNHCR has urged the Sudanese government to uphold international law and asylum seekers immediate access to asylum procedures and protection from refoulement'. (Sudan Tribune, 9 July 2014).
The above statements have revealed the UNHCR's discriminatory approach. If the offender happens to be an important donor country such as Britain, UNHCR uses soft words such as 'encourage' and 'remain concerned'. Forceful condemnations and 'naming and shaming' will only be directed to weak developing nations.
It goes without saying that wherever UNHCR started a refugee relief operation, particularly in the developing nations, too often they ended up dealing with protracted refugee situations (Eritrean refugees in Sudan, Somali in Kenya, Rwandese in Uganda, Afghans i n Pakistan...the list goes on). The point is that UNHCR has been unsuccessful in carrying out its mandate, particularly the part relating to finding permanent solutions to the problems of refugees as stated in its1950 Statute.
In summary, the case of Calais has visibly demonstrated that there is a sore need for alternative global protection and humanitarian regimes capable of protecting and assisting refugees and other forced migrants. Financial autonomy will be key to the success of any future international system as UNHCR's keenness to shy away from criticising its major donor countries when they mistreat 'would be refugees' has negatively affected its performance.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Steve Johnson did not practice on Saturday due to a sore groin. His absence was merely a precaution but it is noteworthy that Johnson has had groin issues in the past. The injury first flared up again on Friday. Johnson had surgery on his groin in early May although it was described as an "extremely minor" operation at the time.
Fantasy Analysis:
These sorts of injuries flare up easily and require rest for them to pass. The fact that he is mindful of it and caught it before it became serious is a good thing. Johnson has nothing to prove this offseason and should remain very high on your draft board. Look for him to be selected late in the sixth round in 12-team leagues. According to recent trends, his average draft position is on the decline, especially with the Bills lacking a strong WR2.

Specialty young women's retailer The Wet Seal, Inc. is undergoing a corporate workforce reduction and other cost-saving and investment initiatives. President and COO Ken Seipel also has resigned and the company is implementing of a $25-million share repurchase program.
Workforce reduction
As part of a strategic business review, the company has implemented a workforce reduction of 35 positions, of which a portion are currently vacant positions, to align with its current business requirements. Thirty-two positions were eliminated in Wet Seal's corporate offices and three were eliminated in the field. Including the elimination of the COO position, the workforce reductions are expected to create annualized pre-tax savings of approximately $3.8 million beginning in fiscal 2013, and the company expects to incur one-time severance charges of approximately $1.3 million in its fiscal 2012 fourth quarter.
The company also announced planned fiscal 2013 cost reductions of approximately $2.5 million for store labor through staffing efficiency measures and approximately $2.1 million for several other cost savings plans.
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, the company also executed early lease terminations for two Arden B stores that had lease terms extending beyond fiscal 2013. As a result, these stores will close at the end of fiscal 2012. These stores incurred fiscal 2012 operating losses of approximately $1 million.
Beginning in late fiscal 2012, in collaboration with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the company also initiated new investments in its Human Resources function, which are expected to bring many needed, value-added services to the company's field and corporate teams in the areas of hiring, training and development and employee relations. Such investments include the addition of HR field generalist positions, development and execution of training programs, and implementation of automated application tracking and performance review systems, diversity initiatives and other employment administration tools. The company estimates these investments will be at a recurring annual cost of $1.9 million, beginning in fiscal 2013.
The company also expects to incur approximately $2.0 million in incremental legal fees in fiscal 2013 for its defense in certain employment-related litigation that arose in prior years. These legal fees do not include the cost, if any, that the company would incur to settle such legal matters.
Resignation of president and COO
Ken Seipel, the company's president and COO, has resigned, effective immediately, to pursue other professional opportunities.
Concurrently, the company has eliminated the COO position. John Goodman, the company's CEO, will assume direct leadership over the store operations, e-commerce and construction functions, while Steve Benrubi, the company's CFO, will assume direct leadership over the information technology and real estate functions.

The newer ones are better yes. I have a 2000 wagon I got for 500 bucks. Rear bushings and shocks were shot and I had a horrible miss from a unplugged injector someone for got to fix when they rebuilt the Split port Injection engine. I fixed the rear shock issues and the miss and Im still fixing small stuff (alternator, 02 sensors, tires) on it but I think its a pretty good car for what it is. Its a solid, well made sedan. Fuel mileage kinda sucks for what it is but if I drive it easily I can get 23-25 in town. But yeah it you have the off-center IGN switch replace it ASAP I had to drill mine out and it costed me a steering column. Also watch for rust on the rear rockers, they are really bad about that (especially wagon models) but once they are in good shape they run great and will last for ever if you do basic maintenance on them (oil changes, timing belts, ect) Also they are known for eating rear tires as well. They didn't put on adjustable camber and toe arms on the cars at the factory and if its miss aligned it will eat tires like mad.

Q&A: Delvin Rodriguez and the quest for a championship
By Mariano A. Agmi
Photos: Emily Harney
Miguel Cotto vs. Antonio Margarito II was not the only high profile rematch taking place at Madison Square Garden on December 3rd. Fresh off the biggest win of his career, a ten round unanimous decision over Pawel "Raging Bull" Wolak, top junior middleweight contender Delvin Rodriguez spoke to Fightnews.com about his victory, what is next for his career, and when we can expect him back in the ring.
Rodriguez and Wolak first fought to a ten round draw in New York City in July of this year, in an action fight that is a top candidate for fight of the year. The bout was full of ebbs and flows, with Wolak applying constant pressure despite a grotesquely swollen eye while Rodriguez relied on superior boxing skills and a vicious short right uppercut. The draw set up a rematch on the biggest of stages, and Rodriguez (26-5-3, 14 KOs), a Dominican native now living in Danbury, CT, made the most of it by clearly outboxing Wolak, sending the Polish-American reeling into retirement in the final round.
Rodriguez, now primed for a title shot at the beginning of next year, had this to say:
Delvin, how do you feel after winning the biggest fight of your career on one of the biggest stages possible?
After all that hard work and so many ups and downs in my career, finally we get to HBO and win on a show like this. It was such a great win but you know, it still hasn't hit me that hard yet but I'm very happy, very excited and very anxious to see what's going to happen next.
Early in round one, it looked as though Pawel came out stronger and more aggressively than in the first fight. Did you feel that the fight was going to be tougher than the first one?
I knew he was going to come out aggressive. I told everyone that he was going to rush me. As soon as he started doing that, I threw my combinations and he felt my power. We prepared to stay low and really get leverage from my legs and I knew that once I started hitting him with the uppercut and he felt my power, he wasn't going to be as aggressive or apply as much pressure as he did in the first fight. I think people saw that through the fight. Staying low and leveraging all of my power pushed him back and worked really, really well.
You made several key adjustments from the first fight that won you this bout more clearly, but you kept your strongest weapon, the right uppercut, intact. Can you tell us about that?
The uppercut was the main thing for us and we practiced it over and over in camp. Every combination that we started was with the uppercut. One thing that started working really well was, after the sixth or seventh round, I wasn't just using my right uppercut, I was also using my left uppercut. It started with a straight right hand, left uppercut and a hook. It worked really well, and that's when we cut him and he was bleeding out of his mouth and he started getting really hurt. I was hitting him with such savage uppercuts that my hand is still swollen from it. I kept doing it because I saw that it was getting to him and he was slowing down.
Was there any point during the fight where you felt that the momentum was shifting and that you had to reassert yourself?
I knew that every round I was catching him harder and harder and there were more combinations getting to him, so I wanted to increase the punches and maybe stop him.
The only other round that Wolak clearly won was round 6, where it looked like he really committed to attacking your body. Did he hurt you at all during the fight?
Not at all. Just like the first fight, he never really hurt me at all. There wasn't a punch that I felt 'wow'. He threw a lot of punches to the body but it's funny that I didn't really feel them. I guess my mind was so trained and so focused that I wasn't really feeling the punches at all. I had a lot of fun. I really enjoyed the fight with the boxing and the movement. We prepared so well and I felt so strong that it was just fun and enjoyment for me.
The crowd exploded in round ten when you went for broke and it looked like you were going to knock him out. How close were you to winning by KO?
I was very close, it got to the point that he wasn't throwing any punches and he was getting hit so much that any other referee probably would have stopped the fight.
Was there a part of you that thought you had to knock him out in order to win the fight, or were you just trying to put an exclamation mark on your performance?
I knew that I was winning the fight, but I didn't want to leave anything up to the judges. I didn't want to leave any doubt. And another thing is that I felt so strong, I felt that I had a lot left in me, a lot of power, so I said to myself, 'why leave all of that [energy] inside? Let me just let it go. It's the last round, let me not leave any doubts whatsoever in anybody's mind.
How do you compare the two fights? Was Wolak as strong and good as the first time, or did you just perform better?
I think I performed much better because I sat down on my punches. I think that made all the difference. I was putting much more power in my punches. People maybe wondered why he wasn't throwing enough punches, but it was that I was sitting down on my punches and he felt those uppercuts. He was thinking twice before coming in. It wasn't like the first fight. In the first fight, I was moving around too much. I was throwing combinations but they didn't have much power behind them because I was fighting backing up. This time I was sitting much more and I was low, really putting power into my punches, and believe me, I was feeling my hands every time I hit him with the uppercut, and every punch was a hard punch.
You've had two really high profile fights this year. The first one was a bit of a surprise because a lot of people thought he was going to walk you down with his pressure. How much more attention are you receiving now that you have had two consecutive high profile bouts?
I've been doing interview after interview and I have another meeting tomorrow with HBO. There is a lot of attention after this fight and it sounds like a lot of good things are coming out of it. The first fight opened the door for me and I entered through the door with this fight. I'm very excited because we're talking about big fights and I'm very happy with the outcome.
Speaking of a big fight on HBO or Showtime, and looking at the champions in your division right now, you have Miguel Cotto, Canelo Alvarez, K9 Bundrage and Austin Trout, who would you prefer to fight?
I would love to fight 'Canelo' Alvarez. He's a guy that has a lot of eyes on him. I've been watching him. He's a good fighter, a lot of talent, very tough kid, but I see a lot ways that I go about fighting him. I think it would be a great fight for the fans, for HBO, for everybody. It's a name that I know when I beat will really crank my career up. I believe I could beat him, and I would love to fight him.
Are you and Pawel friends now that you've shared these tough twenty rounds in the ring?
I haven't talked to him after the fight, but before the fight we were very respectful towards each other. Inside the ring it's a whole different thing but outside of the ring, I respect every fighter.
When do you expect to return to the ring?
We're talking about sometime in February. The end of February or March, but not too far away because right now I'm in great shape. I'm going to enjoy my Christmas but I'm going to stay in shape.

Revolution In The Vineyard
Bruno Prats is having a happy holiday season. The president and co-owner of Cos d'Estournel, one of the best-known grands crus in Bordeaux, has watched his trademark red wines triple in price over the past two years, to as much as $330 a bottle. Like other top-ranked Bordeaux vintners, Prats can't produce enough to meet demand from a new host of American, Japanese, and even Russian wine lovers. Not that he wants to. "We have entered a virtuous circle," he says. "Our better-quality wines can be sold at high prices, which in turn give us the chance to produce smaller quantities of even better wine for even higher prices."
A revolution is taking hold in the $13 billion European wine industry. After losing market share in the early 1990s to inexpensive but excellent New World wines, a new generation of growers in Germany, Italy, Spain, and France is wising up and heading upmarket. These winemakers are producing better-tasting vintages by using less fertilizer, trimming bad grapes, and cutting yields. Instead of buying fermented wine, they control quality by vinifying their own grapes. And they are adopting marketing innovations--for example, identifying wine by its grape variety, such as merlot, rather than by village names, such as St. Emilion.
CLASS OVER MASS. Their timing is perfect. Europeans are again producing top-flight wines just as demand for high-priced vintages has exploded. Fewer Europeans now drink table wine with every meal, but they are buying more quality bottles. The U.S. bull market has boosted Americans' consumption of expensive wine. And the rarer and more expensive, it seems, the better. While the price of generic Bordeaux rose 3% in 1997, the cost of exclusive grands crus soared by 30%.
The move away from mass production has bolstered balance sheets. Margins on table wines are only around 25%, while premium wines can yield profits of more than 60%, says Conor O'Shea, an analyst at Paribas in London. Prats's Cos d'Estournel made more than $3 million last year on sales of only about $10 million. Jacques Lurton, another Bordeaux producer, expects to nearly quadruple his profits, to $1.5 million, within two years by making more expensive wines.
Across the Continent, growers are emphasizing class over mass. In the past two decades, Italy's yield has plummeted from 70 million hectoliters to about 50 million. Its export value, meanwhile, has increased threefold, to $2 billion. Piedmont grower Angelo Gaja set out in the 1970s to make world-class wines by slashing the amount of wine he produces per acre. Today his premium Barbarescos fetch as much as $1,000 a bottle.
Even in Germany, with its notoriously sweet and insipid rieslings, high-end vintners now emphasize quality over quantity. Wilhelm Weil, director of the Robert Weil Winery, often harvests as late as Christmas, while most German vintners finish harvesting their grapes in October. His careful grape selection means Weil's vineyards yield half the wine per acre others produce, but his rieslings are more aromatic. Weil's 1995 Kiedrich Griefenberg Riesling recently set a world record of $2,132 per bottle at an auction for young wines.
Such success represents a huge turnaround. European prices crashed in the early 1990s as consumers reacted to uneven quality. Burgundy got a black eye in 1987 when police caught the region's biggest merchant, Bouchard Pere & Fils, illegally mixing grapes from different villages and adding too much sugar to increase alcohol content. Even the famed chateaux of Bordeaux had become complacent. As a result, vintages from Chile, California, and elsewhere won more converts. In Britain, Germany, and the Netherlands, French wines lost seven points of global market share from 1990 to 1995.
ENOLOGY INTERN. Stunned Europeans finally opened their eyes. Lurton, son of a prominent Bordeaux grower, took enology internships in Australia and the U.S. and returned home determined to innovate. He began buying grapes in southeastern France and improved quality by better controlling temperature, yeast, and hygiene. He also adopted the U.S. and Australian practice of labeling his wine by grape variety, a help to non-French drinkers.
Such innovations have helped the Europeans turn the tide. In competitive markets such as Germany, Britain, and the U.S., the French have boosted market share. Italy increased its chunk of the German wine import market to 50%, up from 40% four years ago.
The biggest danger is that the Europeans may have moved too far upscale. Even some affluent customers have been driven away by recent spectacular price rises. But the Europeans now know that they must keep working to stay ahead of upstart Australians and Americans. Even as they savor their renaissance, Europe's reeducated vintners don't look ready to let success go to their heads.

Niki Brooks enters her second season as an assistant coach with the Green Bay women's soccer program in 2012. Brooks, who works closely with the team's goalkeepers, joined the Phoenix in April of 2011 following five years of college coaching experience in addition to four seasons as an NCAA Division I goalkeeper.
"Niki checked all the boxes that I was looking for in an assistant coach," Green Bay head coach Trevor Warren said at the time of Brooks' hiring. "She is a former Division I goalkeeper and has several years of experience coaching goalkeepers at the collegiate level. She also has a strong background in strength and conditioning, as well as speed and agility training. I'm very much looking forward to having Niki on our staff."
Brooks helped guide Green Bay to a strong defensive campaign in her first season in 2011. The Phoenix surrendered one or zero goals in 14 of its 18 contests in 2011 and gave up just 16 goals through its first 17 matches. She also helped develop standout goalkeeper Maddie Drusch, who finished her career as Green Bay's all-time leader in goals-against average (1.20) and saves (386) and second in shutouts with 16.
In 2010, Brooks was an assistant at the University of Idaho, where she served as the team's goalkeeper coach. The Vandals had arguably the best season in school history under Brooks' direction, setting program records for total wins (14) and conference wins (5) while qualifying for their first-ever conference tournament.
Defensively, Brooks' Idaho squad held opponents to a school-record-low .072 shooting percentage (23-321), allowed the third-fewest goals in school history (23) and had the school's second-lowest goals-against average (1.08). The Vandals also posted six shutouts and held 14 of 21 opponents to one goal or less.
Prior to her one-year stint at Idaho, Brooks coached goalkeepers at Pacific University for two seasons (2008-09) and was an assistant at Linfield College the two years before that (2006-07). From 2006-10, Brooks also worked as a graduate assistant strength and conditioning coach at Portland State University.
Brooks played four seasons as a goalkeeper at Portland State (2002-05), where she led the Vikings to the 2004 Big Sky regular season conference title. She recorded seven shutouts in 2004, which ranks seventh in Big Sky history. At the end of her career, she ranked third all-time in shutouts, goals-against average, saves and saves per game. In all, Brooks played in 44 games, starting 39 times.
Brooks, a native of San Diego, Calif., earned a bachelor's degree in physical activity and exercise from Portland State in 2006, followed by her master's degree in secondary education in 2010.

While the New York Jets are still looking to nail down their general manager, the team has also started interviewing candidates for their vacancy at offensive coordinator after the firing of Tony Sparano following his first season with the Jets. Some interesting candidates have popped up so far, including some with obvious ties to head coach Rex Ryan. Among those interviewed so far are: Cam Cameron, Pat Shurmur, Hue Jackson, Pep Hamilton and Marty Mornhinweg.
The New York Jets are trying to move on from the offensive disasters they have put forth over the last two seasons under Brian Schottenheimer and Tony Sparano, hoping that a new offensive coordinator can get the offense moving in the right direction. The Jets offense has been explosively bad the past two seasons, undermining a defense that held up its end of the bargain. The Jets have already started interviewing candidates for the position.
Cam Cameron worked with Rex Ryan as members of the Baltimore Ravens coaching staff. Cam Cameron lost his job this season and was replaced by former Indianapolis Colts head coach Jim Caldwell. Rex Ryan has obviously vouched for him and the two would seem to have the same vision for the offense, likely one very similar to what the Ravens currently feature. That's the blueprint that Rex Ryan believes in.
Pat Shurmur was fired as head coach of the Cleveland Browns, but has done a great job at various stops throughout the NFL as an offensive coach. After spending seven seasons as the tight ends coach at Michigan State, Pat Shurmur stopped at Stanford to be the offensive line coach before moving to the NFL and advanced quickly. He went from Philadelphia Eagles tight ends coach in 1999, to quarterbacks coach in 2002, became the offensive coordinator of the St. Louis Rams in 2009 and was hired as head coach of the Browns in 2011.
Hue Jackson is another name that is connected to Rex Ryan. The former Oakland Raiders head coach and current Cincinnati Bengals assistant was the quarterbacks coach in Baltimore in 2009, where the and Rex Ryan crossed paths. Hue Jackson has coached running backs, quarterbacks and wide receivers at the FBS and NFL level and has served as offensive coordinator at five different stops throughout his coaching career.
Pep Hamilton is the offensive coordinator for the Stanford Cardinal. Pep Hamilton has history with the Jets, serving as an offensive quality control assistant in 2003, the quarterbacks coach in 2004 and the wide receivers coach in 2005. He has served as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Stanford since 2011.
Marty Mornhinweg is best known for his 5-27 record as head coach of the Detroit Lions during the 2001-02 seasons, but he has been a successful offensive coach throughout his career. He is currently the offensive coordinator and assistant head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles.

I'm often asked how much natural and organic products we eat. As a former couponer, I know that coupons don't come out very often for organic products and when they do they are mostly for what I call, organic junk food. Over the last several years we are slowly switching over to organic/natural. Yes, it's more expensive. No, it's not alot more expensive. The key is being selective in what you are buying and then finding the lowest price on that item, whether that means buying it in bulk or finding different sources for different products.
When you first set out to go organic you might be overwhelmed by the prices and the food differences. At first I thought there was no way we could do it without our budget taking a serious blow. Turns out I can still buy all my groceries and health and beauty products for the month for around $200. Does that sound impossible? It's not, but it does take extra work.
The other day I mentioned to a friend that when I do something, I don't do it halfway. But that doesn't mean we switched things over all at once and it doesn't mean that we even switched a particular food all over to organic all at once. But it does mean that I made a commitment to do this and I'm sticking with it.
On a side note: yes we still use coupons occasionally. Using coupons and getting stuff for free is my way of giving back the best way I can. I still love coupon shopping and I know there is many people out there that can use the products so I'm more than happy to shop to donate or for friends and family. As far as our food shopping goes though, I rarely use coupons for my own personal groceries.
Something that might help on your switchover is to make a list. (Oh, you know I love a good list!) Start with a list of the things that you have already switched to or are happy with in you diet and lifestyle and then make a second list of each of the things that you want to switch over and if you get really excited, you could make the list in order of what you want to switch over first. My sample list might look like this:
Already switched ~
Turbindo/Sucant Sugar instead of white sugar
Non-hormone dairy(yep, all of it)
Only natural meats(chicken and beef)
Organic flours
Homemade Lotion
Shampoo and Homemade Conditioner
All organic or local produce
Dishsoaps and laundry detergent
In the process ~
Real Salt (instead of sea salt) (Real Salt is unrefined sea salt and contains all the original minerals that are in "raw" salt.)
More cultured products
Organic gardening products
Need to change ~
That's not a full list, but you get the idea. We are really doing pretty good on the food part and now I need to start working on the health and beauty products to switchover. (If you want to you can take a look inside my pantry and inside my fridge!)
When you think of going natural/organic you should try and think in terms of cooking from scratch instead of buying organic food off the shelf. Occasionally you can find a good deal on organic "processed" foods with coupons and at discount stores but if you are really wanting to save as much money as you can while making the switchover, you will have to mostly cook from scratch. Instead of thinking that you will now have to pay $3 a box for organic crackers instead of $0.50 - $1 a box for crackers that you can get with the coupon, think about making crackers from scratch and paying only $0.25 - $0.50 a batch. Not only are you saving even more than you would with coupons, that's saving more than 75% off the cost of the organic product! Of course meal planning helps also!
For me, the hardest part is the health and beauty switchover. I can't, or don't yet know how, to make those products from scratch, and that's why they are still on my to-do list. But it will all come in time, I just have to give it time.
Something else to think about is where you buy your products. Now alot of grocery stores are starting to have store brand organic products. Some of these even have organic coupons like the Nash Finch brand organic line, Nash Brothers. Also, check around for a local co-op. I absolutely love mine. (Azure Standard) But I don't buy everything from there, I also check out the local discount store and when I go on vacation I'm always on the lookout to snag a bargain on products that we will use. For example on our most recent vacation I got to check out a discount grocery store and they had my organic shampoo brand that I love for half the price I normally pay, and in a larger bottle. You better believe I stocked up!
Don't forget though that no one is perfect!
What about you, have you "gone organic"? Do you have any more tips for other readers looking to make the switch-over?
Find even more ways to save money!

The following proposals represent service program changes that will continue throughout the three-year planning window represented by this report, and will likely continue as part of ongoing planning for the future of the Library. We recommend that each of the projects recommended in Section IV (below) include attention to these overarching, operational recommendations as part of the implementation process.
Currently, a number of technical services operations are housed in departmental libraries, including, but not limited to, the Undergraduate Library, Government Documents Library, Music Library, Slavic & East European Library, and Asian Library. The Budget Group Plus recommends undertaking a comprehensive review of technical services functions (acquisitions, serials check-in, electronic resource management, cataloging, and metadata creation) across the Library with the goals of improving collaboration and coordination of efforts, and of facilitating the virtual and physical consolidation of staff and services. The Budget Group Plus recommends pursuing this proposal in a staged fashion that will allow us to: identify opportunities for consolidation and/or coordination of technical services operations across the Library; continue to develop and implement standards for materials processing and use of enterprise systems (e.g., Voyager); and foster the development of a robust community of staff and faculty specialists with similar (or complementary) responsibilities.
Currently, a variety of access services operations are performed in multiple departmental libraries housed within the Main Library facility. The Budget Group Plus recommends undertaking a review of access services functions (e.g., circulation, retrieval of materials for call slip/ILL/DD, and provision of print reserve materials) provided in the Main Library with the goal of facilitating coordination and consolidation of staff and services. The Budget Group Plus recommends pursuing this proposal in a staged fashion that will allow us to provide improved access services to Library users by allowing for more effective use of staff and student employees, as well as by bringing a consistent approach to one of our busiest service programs, and allowing for greater flexibility in the articulation of responsibilities within departmental libraries.
Recognizing the immense financial and scholarly value represented by our collection of rare book, special collection, manuscript, and archival materials, we must commit to developing a Library-wide program statement on special collection operations and the place of special collections in the service programs of the University Library. Pursuing this proposal will require an assessment of materials currently housed in departmental libraries as the foundation for future discussions related to facilities needs, human resources needed to provide improved physical and intellectual control over these materials, the identification of "hidden" collections, and the integration of special collection materials into broader plans for the enhancement of Library services.
Please take a moment to give us your feedback & comments on the New Service Models

Our Interior Dash and Deck Lights have powerful light output, are quick and easy to install, and have versatile placement setups from front to back and side to side of your first-responder vehicle. When you browse our inventory...you'll find just what you need to get the job done right!
Extreme Tactical Dynamics offers our clients a wide range of interior lights for the dashboard, deck, and/or visors for their professional emergency vehicles or POV's. Our warning lights vary in length from 6" to 40." We use Generation III and IV LEDs with total wattage from 6 Watts to 78 Watts.
