Graduations and the Constitution
And so - our community awaits a decision.
We await the knowledge of whether or not the views of an anonymous few and the litigious intervention of a social activist group from our Nation's Capitol, will overturn the clearly expressed desire of the overwhelming majority of our community.
Cause and Effect in Detroit
A few months ago I wrote a column about what Napoleon would have told Congress and executives of the auto industry about the state of GM, Ford, and Chrysler. Today I consider what a famous American might have said regarding this matter.
Mark Twain once acidly remarked that, "the only difference between a man and a dog is that a man WILL bight the hand that feeds him".
Happy Father's Day
Despite the fact that I have been a father for fitteen years, for me today is always about my Dad.
To paraphrase Toqueville, my father was a great man because he was a good man. I had the honor of delivering his euology, and I read that document again today to remind me of him. And as I did, I reflected on the good fortune I had in having him in my life, and on the lessons he worked so hard to impart to me and my siblings.
Socrates and Churchill on the "S" Word
The first instruction that Socrates always gave to a new student was, "if you would speak with me - you must define your terms". He knew that meaningful dialog on any subject requires objectively defined terms, so that the people engaged would understand the references and logic of their associates.
Today we hear many people caught up in the debate of whether or not we are sliding into socialism. If we consider the admonition of Socrates, I don't understand that debate.
Michael Jackson and the Oprah-Fication of America
The King of Pop is dead, and the engines of our hopelessly adrift mass media are pumping out tsunamis of emotion into our living rooms, automobiles, and hand-held devices. Make no mistake about it - emotion is King in America today. Jackson's passing is clearly a sad and unfortunate event, but the seismic emotional reactions to it are off the charts, akin almost to those triggered by the assassination of John Kennedy.
I submit that while such tsunamuis of "feeling" have many causes, the High Priestess of this movement is none other than Oprah the Great. She has ushered in the Era of Emotion, concocting a carcinogenic cocktail mixed of medicine, psychology, and new-age theology, which The Wall Street Journal years ago insightfully labeled therapeutic feelingness.

A mission statement of Occupy Los Angeles
Submitted by Harry Tischler on
I think you ought to show a mission statement of Occupy Los Angeles on occupylosangeles.org. Explain why all these people are camped out there. What it is we want. I would hope that it would go something like this.
The only justification for the existence of any government is to serve the needs of all it's people. To provide for their security and welfare with clean safe air, water, food, health care, housing, education and secure their old age. And to protect the rights and privileges of all it's people.
Some of the ways to do this is to support Single Payer Health Care, secure Social Security, stop the Wars and Occupations of other Countries for there Natural Resources, support Education, stop Corporate Welfare, create Jobs for the unemployed, stop all Home Foreclosures, close all the Tax Breaks and Loopholes for the Rich-Corps and Let them pay their fair share with the rest of us.
Yes you are right, a smiple mission statement is FIRST

The 1% philosophy
Many want to get their own PR by using OccupyLA's news exposure
Submitted by maryjanie on
Many 99%ers distrust the politicians, some media stars and those who want to take their own photo op with the occupiers' tents, demonstrators, and 'the ordinary people'. It appears that many suddenly want to momentarily USE this alliance to UP their own PR, expand their own limelight, conveniently expand their propagandas, or add to their campaigns. Some even do pretend-appearances to now be SEEN as "one of the people" with those who have actually dedicated much time and exposure to form these occupations. They want to 'brand' with our experience and get visibility, which helps their images too. And most of these do not actually live these unemployed or dissenting or desperate lifestyles, if they ever did before. even while sharing their fame to our causes. Some genuinely want to help. The occupiers need to check out what is doing what for what reasons of their own or also for all others. But notice also that these 'new allies' are also useful to those dedicated to us Occupyin'g every city. Their affiliations means more media attention momentarily or becomes 'social approval' from the elite for the stated causes too. Approval leads to more media and exposure for what are occupier messages and demands too. These sudden ties can be triple edged benefits… maybe ? The 'legitimacy' of these PR opportunities with stars, politicians, also helps demonstrators by providing cover and safety from the militarized police and nat'l guard enforcers, who now are less likely to act arbitrarily or abusively. Being in the shared Limelight now, helps keep the protest movement safer, more peaceful, and less harassed because the usual dispersal attempts may not be acted out as easily - with this celebrity visibility. Sort of like the occupiers are now "OK" somehow because of the elite's approval and apparent friendship. Yet, Many of us groan at suddenly becoming 'accepted' and 'joined' by the many who NOW find it convenient to be 'with us' for enhancing their own images. Beware of being USED for the moment and then discarded, or quickly soon ignored, or maybe thrown aside quickly. When our focus on the 1%ers' and banksters' and corporatists' greed and their manipulations - damaging the 99% = "The American People" = is diverted to be 'seen and heard' instead of on changing our world. Beware of all those who currently wield excess power 'over' all workers and their lives. It happens. Even those whom we have seen in our favorite movies, may be helping themselves as much as they are helping what we occupiers intend and do. Check out what is actually happening when such famous folk come by to visit. Don't just be admiring and impressed by their image power. Yes, it is Good to be seen, noticed and appreciated. But be aware of the games people in power play, which got them up there into officialdom also. Being IN the News is good … but also notice when some angry side-issue people stop by, to USE this occupied effort for their own purposes…like those who have also already arrived - to usurp any available Media attention to display their volatile venting as if they represented the rest of the occupiers. without the occupy grouping' agreed consensus. Some saw that with 'raw milk' group who deliberately grabbed a mic and loudly demanded media's attention, with reporters also colluding by recording them . A special interest small group that displaced the overall group's peacefuller intentions and the hard work to collectivize. Each piece of this American Pie that demands more attention for itself, is acting same way as politicians are now using the occupying groups current 'fame' for their OWN purposes. Exposure, may not be the main point of the occupation. This misuse of the mic or video or photo. while pretending inclusion, is common practice - but also needs to be called out, confronted, and even discouraged - if not appropriate to what the occupiers have agreed to be known as = All these people who direct their protesting bodies and lives toward shared goals. These Goals may need to be repeatedly made - simple, clear and not so extensively inclusive that anyone can make claims to be the whole instead of just a tiny or little part. That is the usual strategies of the few who are greedy for fame and attention at the expense of everyone else – and steal the story from the others who did not agree that they are representatives of a larger 'whole'. Even the prez and VP have recently alluded to some supportive statements… that now elicits further distrust of their motives and usurping the current attention that all the occupiers [protesters, demonstrators, dedicated workers ] together have created. Be aware, speak openly of what is observed, confront those who want more than their fair share of the media exposure, and dont be cowed, or bullied by anyone's insistence they are more important than all the rest of US all. [courteous serious comments and discussion on this comment and it's effects is encouraged here.]

My Dad In England circa 1955
September 13th, 2009
I was born in London, England in 1955. My dad was serving in the military and was stationed at a base near London for several years in the mid-fifties. He was there on his own for a little while and then my Mom joined him at some point. We lived there until just after my first birthday, so I really have no memories of it. This is a photo I found of my dad standing next to a car somewhere near where we lived. It's dated "Aug 10″ on the … [more]

5 Jul 2012, 15:06 pmWonder if some Bulls dragon scouts also attended this week?
5 Jul 2012, 15:16 pm@willievz(willievz)-1: Of course. Fatty van Graan's foot soldiers set up marquee's at tournies like this. They offer cars, payment of school fees, tekkies, women, wine and song with a dash of 'we are family' and 'Kumbaya' on the side…..
What kid can resist
Good thing now though is, the foot soldiers HAVE to inform the WPRFU when they approach a player. Indeed the player can still trek up north, BUT: at least the home union will be aware of what is happening, and can plan accordingly. I.e: 18 year old Barend is going to the Bulls when he finishes school. WP know this. Barend is a top flanker, but there are 6 others of similar class, with Barend 'just' pipping the other 6 for talent. Barend will not be playing Craven Week, nor will he be attending any Stormer camps – as the WPRFU will be focusing on the 6 who are staying Bad luck Barend.
5 Jul 2012, 15:19 pmThey also offer guaranteed Bok spots to the young men who move to Pretoria at senior level.
Someone posted yesterday that they are the illuminati. Given the current relationship between the Bulls and the Boks, I have to agree with this blogger.
5 Jul 2012, 15:29 pm@willievz(willievz)-3: Oops. That would have been me, I said that. Glad you agree with that at least
I know many have said these new SARU regulations are toothless and that kid's will still leave unions etc, and yes that will be the case. Kids will go where their parents want them to BUT: as I said above, at least the various unions will be able to maintain some sort of control, and a degree of forward planning (which hasn't been the case up until now).If A, B and C are leaving the WPRFU will know – and can at least counter these losses by investing less in those buggering off, and MORE in those who are staying.
5 Jul 2012, 15:53 pm@willievz(willievz)-1: i hope this answers your question
"Pollard has caught the eye of many keen schoolboy rugby followers,< including Springbok coach Heyneke Meyer, who first saw the player at the U16 Grant Khomo Week.
'This year we will see many top schoolboy flyhalves emerge. Handré is one of them,' says Meyer. 'He has a good rugby brain and has the physical attributes too [Pollard stands at 1.89m and weighs 95kg]. If he continues doing well, he'll play for the Springboks one day.'
5 Jul 2012, 16:00 pm@Transformation(Transformation)-5: And now we know why Heyneke pushed Dawie Theron into selecting Pollard for the Bay Boks squad
5 Jul 2012, 16:04 pm@Transformation(Transformation)-5: You mean if he moves to the Bulls (check), he will play for the Springboks one day
following in the steps of
J Pottie -
5 Jul 2012, 16:24 pm@willievz(willievz)-7: Heyneke wanted Sadie to be the Bok bolter for the WC last year already
5 Jul 2012, 16:40 pm36-5
5 Jul 2012, 16:53 pm@willievz(willievz)-1: @The Sharks rugby pedigree is packaged by Mad Eye Productions.(The Sharks rugby pedigree is packaged as dog food)-4: we ARE NOT f.ucking around boy and girl!!!!
In other results on the final day, 2011 unofficial champions EP beat Boland 31-25 to retain an unbeaten run this year
5 Jul 2012, 16:56 pm@Transformation(Transformation)-10: Brilliant result for the EP. They were red hot last year as well.
5 Jul 2012, 16:59 pm@Transformation(Transformation)-10: Congrats Transie.
I feel the same way about Griquas' u/13 side this year.
Coached by Dale Adam – a very good coach.
5 Jul 2012, 17:48 pmc'mon guys… let it rest…
people are really beginning to sound like paranoid schizophrenics here…
think everyone is missing of very important point about all this…
sure heyneke may have met a whole bunch of youngsters and sure he may have said they will be a bok one day…
but at the time he met these guys… he was NOT the bok coach and had no ideas he would be the bok coach..
all he was doing was showing the faith and confidence in the structures he has set up in pretoria that IF these guys joined the bulls they would have a better then equal chance of becoming boks…
nothing sinister in that at all… what should he have said… 'if you join the bulls you'll never be a bok…' or 'well if you're lucky and gamble on us maybe if the chips fall right and you play your cards right you could become a bok'
no… he said… as any mentor would… 'stick with me kid… i'll take you to the top'… perfectly normal and understandable…
chillax about all this now… it is getting ridiculous…
5 Jul 2012, 17:53 pm@The Sharks rugby pedigree is packaged by Mad Eye Productions.(The Sharks rugby pedigree is packaged as dog food)-11: @willievz(willievz)-12: now if we can keep the vultures away! grey bloem go to that tournament armed with "bursaries" – paul jordaan, jan serfontein!
5 Jul 2012, 18:03 pmsame way unethical unprotected blind horse trading sunk the US economic market stability and subsequently the rest of the over zealous profiteering world … so will it do in a micro economic system which trades rugby talent as its resource ..
if there are no checks and balances to open unscrupulous dealing and trading in any sphere whether it be elephant tusks or abalone shells the resource gets stolen for unethical gain by others who have not had to foster and nurture or develop it from source.
5 Jul 2012, 18:06 pmWP djou lekka ding, WP djou lekka ding
5 Jul 2012, 18:28 pmof course… and i'm not suggesting there shouldn't be checks and balances…
simply making the point that those who believe heyneke is using his position to lure kids to the bulls are way off the mark as he was not the bok coach when he chatted to most of these kids…
i also think unions could insist on players signing lock-in clauses which are pretty standard in business if a company is going to pay for an employee's development or further education then they can lock them in for an agreed to period to ensure the company does at least get the minimum back for it's investment…
5 Jul 2012, 21:54 pmWestern Province scored 2 tries and 2 penalty goals against the 3 penalty goals of the Bulls in the unofficial U/18 Academy final in Wellington today. At the break the Bulls were leading 6 – 3. The Bulls' flyhalf missed one penalty kick, while Jean – Luc du Plessis missed the 2 conversion attempts as well as 3 penalty goals. 2 of the missed penalty goals were roundabout the 10 metre line of the Bulls and the one conversion was about 5 metres from the touchline. The other one was much easier but he hit the posts. He should have goaled at least the one conversion and one extra penalty kick. J-L kicked 2 penalties and the tries were scored by the hooker Arno van Wyk of Boland Agric and Jarred Sage of Wynberg. Province jou lekka ding !!!
6 Jul 2012, 04:21 amMR VIDEO offered me a wickedly good contract, but I turned it down because it didn't come close to what the Bulls put on the table..

The finest representatives were put to the test on this issue and failed. Somehow, in the test of constitutional understanding, there are few in our political system who could muster even a barely passing D-. Core beliefs aside even for "conservatives" who found their "pet peeve" to be in stark contrast to principles they had presumably held. In the end I guess its ok to tell people how to run their business, who may attend it, and now what they can consume while there.
Funny, how the end results of such interference in matters doesn't make the light of day until after its too late.. How convenient..

Outdoor Play Gets Everyone Up and Moving
Warm weather makes just about everyone want to go outside and enjoy the sunshine. Kmart offers many toys and games to make outdoor play more fun for you and your kids.
Bikes are one of the most universal forms of outdoor play. Kids and adults alike in countries all over the world ride bikes for both fun and exercise. There are many styles of bikes to choose from depending on your childâs age and level of riding experience. Smaller bikes are designed especially for young children and may feature training wheels to keep the wobble out of their early rides. As your child grows, he or she will need a bike of a larger size and may eventually wish to try a bike with several speeds or one designed for doing tricks. But no matter what kind of bike your child rides, itâs essential to have the right safety equipment. A helmet that fits properly protects your childâs head should he or she fall while lights and reflectors keep riders of all ages visible when biking in potentially dangerous conditions.
If your kids are more into cars, trucks and aircrafts than bikes, they might enjoy playing around with remote control toys. Though some models are meant to be played with inside, others are designed to fly and are, therefore, perfect for using outdoors. You and your kids can fly realistic helicopters and jets around the yard for fun, hold races or see who can get the toys to fly the highest. Colorful and rugged, these toys appeal to a wide range of ages. Not only will they last through many seasons of spirited outdoor play, but kids will likely continue to enjoy them even as they get older.
Another fun way to spice up outdoor play is to introduce some floor games. You may think of things like Twister as strictly indoor entertainment, but it can be a lot of fun to bring this and other floor games outdoors when the weather is agreeable. These types of games adapt well to outdoor play whether youâre looking for something to keep your kids occupied or want to get everyone involved at a summer party. And on days when the weather isnât so nice, you can always bring your floor games back indoors for an afternoon of classic entertainment.
Outdoor play is an important part of childhood that no kid should miss out on. Shop Kmart for everything you need to get your child up and moving as soon as the warm weather rolls around.

The End of Illness
For decades we've tried to whittle down our understanding of the body and its ailments to a finite point - a mutation, a germ, a deficiency or a number. But this has led us astray from a fundamental basic understanding of our bodies as systems. The End of Illness presents a system's view of the body, urging readers to begin viewing their total health as a complex network of processes that cannot be explained by any single pathway or focal point. In many instances, it does us no good to try and understand a certain disease; we just need to control it, much like an air traffic controller manages planes without knowing how to actually fly one.
This radically different perspective on health will not only change how we care for ourselves, but also how we spur the next generation of treatments, and, in some instances, cures. The book also shows readers how to personalize their self-care; much of the advice is surprisingly simple and affordable - such as wearing good shoes and eating lunch at the same time every day.

What Is Health?
A New Definition That Changes Everything
Everyone has a vague idea of what it means to live a healthy life. Eating a balanced diet: good. Smoking: bad. Breaking a sweat regularly: good. Binge drinking: bad. Getting a restful night's sleep: bonus. Being happy: double bonus. Some of us may choose to disregard these basic tenets on occasion, but for the most part, we know the difference between the habits that help us stay youthful and strong, and those that can detract from our well-being.

"Under General Henri Guisan, a massive mobilization of militia forces was ordered. The Swiss military strategy was changed from one of static defence at the borders, to a strategy of organized long-term attrition and withdrawal to strong, well-stockpiled positions high in the Alps known as the National Redoubt. This controversial strategy was essentially one of deterrence. The idea was to cause huge losses to German forces and render the cost of invading too high. During an invasion, the Swiss Army would cede control of the economic heartland and population centres, but retain control of crucial rail links and passes in the National Redoubt."
its regarded as common knoledge
Kirby just read more, and when you do, read the paragraphs after you think you have a stellar quote to prove your point just to make sure your point isn't completely wrong. It kind of helps.
Dogar's pro tip for the day.
I read it over before posting, and I missed like one phrase that said they didn't actually invade, shoot me.
idk if it's even possible to have a "best" country in the world, such a term is so generalized the answer is really subjective. I can't answer this question, my brain can't think of a best country. If I had one to choose I'd pick Canada, still, since it has the wide open spaces and lovely landscape I enjoy very much, but that's just a personal thing.
There's Penguins in New Zealand too... also Sheep and The Lacemaker.

Manhattan Office Rents Set All-Time Record10 Apr, 2007, New York, NYCushman & Wakefield today released its first quarter report for the Manhattan commercial real estate market showing average asking rents for Manhattan office space have reached record highs. At the end of March, overall average asking rents for Manhattan climbed to $53.43 per square foot, the highest ever recorded. Class-A asking rents increased 29 percent, also setting a record at $64.54 per square foot. At the same time, Manhattan's overall vacancy fell to 5.7 percent, dipping below 6 percent for the first time in six years. "We have seen unprecedented rental growth in the Manhattan office market over the past year," said Joseph R. Harbert, chief operating officer of Cushman & Wakefield's New York Metro Region. "With limited supply and steady job growth, we foresee demand increasing, and rents continuing to reach new highs." The three submarkets of Midtown, Midtown South and Downtown all charted positive rent increases in the first quarter, with class-A space in Midtown also reaching an all-time high, at $70.77 per square foot. As rents soared in Midtown, Manhattan office users explored options in Lower Manhattan, resulting in considerable increases in leasing activity there. At the end of March, leasing activity Downtown totaled nearly 1.3 million square feet, up 67 percent from the 750,000 square feet leased during the first quarter last year. Activity Downtown accounted for 23 percent of all Manhattan leasing this quarter, while it accounted for only 13 percent in the first quarter of 2006. The most substantial increases in activity were in class-B and class-C properties Downtown, where leasing increased by 51.5 percent and 250 percent, respectively. According to Mr. Harbert, tenants being priced out of class-A product Downtown are proactively seeking opportunities in lesser-quality buildings. Increased leasing activity led to a steep decline in availability Downtown. The overall vacancy rate Downtown fell 4.4 percentage points from this time last year, ending the first quarter of 2007 at 7.2 percent. "Downtown's overall vacancy rate is seconds away from falling below equilibrium," said Mr. Harbert, referring to the 7 to 9 percent vacancy range, where neither landlords nor tenants are assumed to have an advantage. "That's quite impressive for a market that registered double-digit vacancy just seven months ago." The class-A vacancy rate Downtown, which had swelled to 12.5 percent this time last year due to the addition of Seven World Trade Center, fell more than 6 percentage points to 6.3 percent. Competition for the best space Downtown bumped class-A asking rents up 20 percent from this time last year, to $47.41 per square foot. Large blocks of space available in Manhattan were quickly absorbed over the last 12 months, as tenants sought opportunities to house operations on contiguous floors. At this time last year, there were 16 blocks of space in excess of 250,000 square feet, while at the end of March there were only seven in all of Manhattan. With large-block opportunities dwindling, smaller and mid-sized transactions accounted for the majority of activity in the first quarter, with only one new lease signed in excess of 100,000 square feet. There were 60 more leases completed in Manhattan than last year at this time; however, the total square footage of these leases was nearly 350,000 square feet less. This trend was particularly apparent Downtown, where the number of deals under 10,000 square feet increased by 50 percent compared to this time last year. "Though rents are increasing at a rapid pace, Downtown still offers smaller tenants significant value when compared to Midtown," said Mr. Harbert. "These tenants are taking advantage of the current conditions Downtown, before the market rises even higher." Financial services firms continued as the most active industry in Manhattan, accounting for 35.7 percent of leasing to date. Renewed activity by legal services upped their share to 15.3 percent, an increase from 4.2 percent at this time last year. Law firms accounted for three of the top ten new leases in the first quarter, including Schulte Roth & Zabel's 88,000-square-foot lease at 919 Third Avenue. Other large leases included Bear Stearns' 100,242-square-foot expansion at 237 Park Avenue, Moody's 78,550-square-foot expansion at Seven World Trade Center and QBE Insurance Group's 76,489-square-foot lease at 88 Pine Street. Financial services firms continued to sign Manhattan's most expensive leases in the first quarter of 2007, accounting for more than three-quarters of the 18 transactions with taking rents above $100 per square foot. Of the 11 buildings where these leases were completed, six saw triple-digit rents for the first time ever. INVESTMENT SALES Following another record-breaking year in 2006 with $34.7 billion in sales closed, the Manhattan investment sales market showed no sign of a slowdown in 2007. More than $13.6 billion in sales closed in the first quarter, compared to $2.7 billion at this time last year. In addition, there are $11.9 billion in transactions under contract. In one of the most high-profile transactions of the first quarter, Macklowe Properties purchased eight class-A office buildings in Midtown for a total of $7.2 billion, or more than $1,100 per square foot. Class-A office properties accounted for 90 percent of sales closed in the first quarter. "The most active and aggressive buyers of trophy office properties in Manhattan are investors who already have significant holdings here," said Mr. Harbert. "These players understand from first-hand experience the pulse of the leasing market, and that the serious shortage of space and accelerating rental rates will play out well for the investment market." In addition to favorable leasing fundamentals, Mr. Harbert pointed to continued low interest rates, as well as strong employment and economic forecasts, as drivers of the investment sales market. RETAIL The Manhattan retail market continued to advance in the first quarter of 2007, as new retailers entered and established favorites relocated to accommodate for growth. Anne Fontaine relocated from 600 square feet at 687 Madison Ave. to 6,200 square feet at 677 Madison Ave., where she will open her North American flagship early next year. Home furnishings newcomer CB2, a sister store of Crate and Barrel, signed an 18,000-square-foot lease at 451 Broadway for its first location outside of Chicago. Another new furniture retailer, Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams, entered the market at 210 Lafayette Street. Retail rents rose steadily across the four submarkets of Soho, Fifth Avenue, Madison Avenue and the Upper West Side. At the end of the first quarter, asking rents on Madison Avenue averaged $985 per square foot, with the most expensive spaces asking $1,200 per square foot. Realizing the rising value of retail real estate, landlords made moves to capitalize on increasing retail rents. At 112 West 34th Street, W&H Properties will reconfigure the building's lobby to incorporate a 1,600-square-foot store for Billabong. Foreign retailers continued to show interest in the Manhattan retail market in 2007. Japanese retailer Muji signed on as the first retail tenant at The New York Times building, in addition to a lease a 455 Broadway in Soho. "Foreign retailers believe opening locations in Manhattan is the best way to get U.S. exposure for their brand," said Mr. Harbert. "Our retail services professionals are in the midst of speaking with numerous overseas retailers – ranging from apparel to skin care – who are interested in making their mark on the Manhattan market." Founded in New York City in 1917, Cushman & Wakefield is the largest New York-based commercial real estate firm and the preeminent global real estate services provider. From its Midtown Manhattan world headquarters, the firm operates more than 201 offices in 55 countries around the globe and employs more than 12,000 professionals.

Electric Dryers
Electric dryers operate the exact same way as gas dryers; the only difference is that electric dryers use electricity
to send hot air into the drum instead of gas. The only thing to bear in mind is that most electric dryers require a 240/208-volt connection (10-30R or 14-30R outlet), which is twice that of a standard outlet. It�s also important to note that most electric dryers do not come with electrical cords. Some manufactures (like Whirlpool, Maytag and Amana) will sell the power cord as an accessory with the dryer, but for most electric dryers you will need to purchase the cord separately. The connections you have in your home will most dictate whether you will need a gas or electric dryer.

EDITORIAL | Council can't satisfy everyone
January 18, 2013 · Updated 2:51 PM
Neighbors of the popular Mo's Pub in Langley will never be happy that it even exists, but they should realize that theirs is not the only concern that matters.
The city has gone out of its way to satisfy concerns of neighbors, including parking restrictions on pub customers. Presently, the City Council is considering Planning Advisory Board recommendations that aim to further meet concerns of neighbors while giving the pub room to operate profitably.
Last week, City Planner Jeff Arango presented a number of proposed new rules governing all pub-like establishments, including strictly limiting the number of hours and days that live, amplified music can be staged and requiring buffers between the pub and neighbors.
The restrictions seemed logical enough, but not so tight that they would put Mo's out of business. Mo's was involved in the regulation setting and gave up a lot in an effort to peacefully coexist with a few neighbors on Second Street.
Neighbors are still concerned, however, that regulations will not be enforced, and that pub customers will continue to make noise as they exit the establishment. Well, the fact is that people's habits can't be entirely controlled in a free society and a cop can't be stationed outside the pub every Friday and Saturday when it closes at midnight. However, pub customers can be advised of the noise concerns and most would behave accordingly. Langley isn't exactly a redneck town.
With a town of only 1,200 souls, a place like Mo's Pub with good beer, good food and good dart competition is an asset. It gives friends a place to gather and have a good time. Many can walk home from its central location, lessening the problem of drinking and driving.
While we can sympathize with the neighbors, a well regulated pub is not a radical use for commercial property adjoining residential property. On the whole, it's an asset to the town. It makes up for the gaping hole left when the historic Dog House Tavern closed on First Street several years ago.
The city council should do its best to meet residents' concerns while keeping in mind that they can't satisfy all the people all the time. Mo's has done about all it can to be a good neighbor and the council should do what's best for the entire town. That means keeping our only pub open for the people to enjoy, and to add a few badly-needed bucks to the town's coffers.

Comments On Mar 25, 2010:My stock pads on my 250 were worn completely out. These pads have not squeaked at all and were easy as cake to install. I don't like squeaky pads so these are really nice for that reason- they also stop great but aren't too "grabby"... but you grab the lever and you're going to stop!
Worth the extra couple of $$ over the cheapest pads offered. I would purchase these again!

Comments On Jul 10, 2009:The price is great, but their is a small catch. If you ride agresive single track trails and you are the least bit a brake drager you will not be happy with these pads. Today I rode about fourteen miles and they worked great, no squeling, no fading. When I came back to my truck to get a drink I noticed that the pad on the caliper side of my 09 husabug 450 fe was wore down to the insulator the other side had about 10% pad life left. Today their was very little mud to speed up the wear factor and these pads were brand new out of the pack and put on before my ride. If you are fast enough to pit every lap of a hare scramble or gncc and change out a set of these pads they will work good. Go ahead and spend the extra cash on a set of galfers.

My favorite characters is Misa Amane and "L". Mellow is sexy, but creepy as well.
I don't really care to much about the show (yet)..... but anyways if i had a choice it would be the shinugami guy who had dropped the Deathnote ... This guy Grifendork has a really cool avatar with his picture on it....The path to conquest leaves nothing else to be desired!!!!
Why thank you =D my favorite Shinigami is of course Ryuk (my avatar) and as for human character probably misa and i know hes the main character but Light yagami is sweet as well. if i had a second choice of a Shinigami id Pick the shinigami in the manga thats in the opening seen with ryuk and behind ryuk two of em are gambling, i like the one on the right just cause he looks cool haha "Don't doubt the darkness, it can be your enemy as well as your friend."
I would go with N becouse he out smart kira and by doing that he out smarted L and he reminds me of myselfAnd Shepherds we shall be.For thee, my Lord, for thee.Power hath descended forth from Thy hand,That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command.So we shall flow a river forth to theeAnd teeming with souls shall it ever be
well i would have to say L ,N, and mello because i love the way when they mess with their enimies mind. at first they'll have them thinking they have it in the bag annd at the last min they make there move... becides their cute
Ryuk and Light. #1) Ryuk because he is a neat character & strange in a funny kind of way. He is crazy about apples and got really upset when he couldn't have any in a couple of episodes. #2) Light becuase he is a pretty neat character as well & was only trying to do some good with the Notebook. Dewa Mata,Niji-Hana
L..Haha, my friend and I were trying to get her boyfriend to watch Death Note. He was like "Oh, god, you mean the one with the Edward Cullen of Anime who is way overrated?" we started ranting that he's not, he's amazing and how we love him. Her boyfriend just said "my point's been proven" and we realized he was right...XP
He watched it all and loved it though lolXD

A kicked up Mexican twist on pumpkin soup. |
My blogging amiga Susan at Fatfree Vegan Kitchen posted this beautiful pumpkin soup recipe a few days ago, and I knew instantly I had to try it. I love soup with a pumpkin flavored base, and this one is a little bit different; it's not thick like my usual go-to pumpkin soup recipe. It's more brothy and textured with chunks of red potato, beans, and spicy green peppers. Pure comfort food with a kick.
I hope you like it.
I hope you like it.
Mexican Pumpkin Soup Recipe
I've changed Susan's recipe very little, switching only her pinto beans to black beans, leaving out the onion; adding a big Cubanelle pepper, a dash of lime. The flavor was rich and spicy, with each bite of potato cooling the tongue. Thank you, Susan!
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 jalapeno pepper, cored, seeded, diced
1 Cubanelle, Anaheim, banana pepper, or roasted green chile, cored, seeded, diced
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
Pinches of ground cayenne or chipotle pepper for heat, to taste
Several pinches of Old Bay Seasoning
4 cloves of garlic, minced
4 cups vegetable broth
1 15-oz. can pumpkin or squash
1 15-oz. can black beans, rinsed, drained
5 medium red potatoes, peeled, diced
1 tablespoon fresh chopped cilantro
Sea salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste
1 drizzle of honey or organic raw agave
Fresh lime juice, to taste
For serving:
Lime slices
Fresh chopped cilantro
Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot and toss in the diced peppers and spices; stir the spices into the oil and cook gently for a couple of minutes. Add the garlic; stir briefly. Add the rest of the ingredients into the pot and bring to a high simmer; cover, and lower the heat; simmer for 25 minutes until the potatoes are fork tender.
Taste test for seasoning adjustments. Add a dash of coconut milk, if you like it creamy. Warm through.
Serve with a sprinkle of fresh chopped cilantro and a lime slice.
Warm up some corn tortillas for dipping.
Serves 4.
Karina's Note:
This recipe works well in a slow cooker; follow the manufacturer's guidance for cooking vegetable soups.

Bladder Cancer
- Transitional cell (urothelial) carcinoma—more than 90% of bladder cancers
- Squamous cell carcinoma—about 4% of bladder cancers
- Adenocarcinoma—about 1%-2% of bladder cancers
Bladder Cancer |
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc. |
Risk Factors
- Smoking
- Increasing age: The majority of people with bladder cancer are between 65 and 85 years old.
Occupation (due to exposure to certain substances)
Those at risk include:
- Rubber, leather, and textile workers
- Painters
- Hairdressers
- Machinists
- Printers
- Truck drivers
- Petroleum industry workers
Those at risk include:
- Race: White
- Sex: male
- Genetics
- Chronic bladder inflammation or infection (such as schistosomiasis, an infection caused by a parasitic worm)
- Personal or family history of bladder cancer
- Chemotherapeutic drugs: cyclophosphamide and ifosfamide
- Exposure to arsenic
- Radiation treatment of the pelvis
- Bladder birth defects
- Chemicals (such as nitrosamines, benzidine)
- Urinary stones for many years
- In-dwelling catheter for many years
- Bladder diverticuli: an area of weakness in the bladder wall through which some of the lining of the bladder is forced out
- Metastasis from another cancer
- Blood in the urine (hematuria)
- Frequent urination, or feeling the need to urinate without being able
- Painful urination
- Lower back pain
- Weight loss, bone pain, or abdominal pain in advanced cases
- Your doctor may need to examine your urine. This can be done with:
- Urine cytology
- Urine culture
- Your doctor may to look at your bladder and the surrounding area. This can be done with:
- Your doctor may also order a biopsy to remove a sample of bladder tissue to test for cancer cells.
- Stage 0: cancer cells are found only on the surface of the inner lining of the bladder.
- Stage 1: cancer cells are found deep in the inner lining of the bladder; no lymph nodes are involved.
- Stage 2: cancer cells have spread to the muscle of the bladder; no lymph nodes are involved.
- Stage 3: cancer cells have spread through the muscular wall of the bladder to the layer of tissue surrounding the bladder OR possibly to the reproductive organs including the prostate glands; no lymph nodes are involved.
- Stage 4: cancer cells extending outside the bladder to the wall of the abdomen or to the wall of the pelvis without lymph node involvement OR have spread to one or more lymph nodes and other parts of the body.
- Transurethral resection—This is done for early stage or superficial bladder cancer. A cystoscope is placed into the bladder through the urethra. A small wire loop at the end of the cystoscope is used to remove cancer cells. Fulguration (using electrical current to burn away remaining cancer cells) can be done during this procedure.
- Cystectomy (surgical removal of all or part of the bladder)—This is done when bladder cancer is invasive. Segmental (partial) cystectomy is the removal of part of the bladder. Radical cystectomy is the removal of the entire bladder and nearby lymph nodes. In men, the prostate is usually also removed. In women, the uterus, ovaries, part of the vagina, and the fallopian tubes might also be removed. A form of urinary diversion must be created to store the urine if the bladder is removed.
Radiation Therapy
- External radiation therapy—Radiation is directed at the tumor from a source outside the body.
- Internal radiation therapy—Radioactive materials are placed near the cancer cells in the bladder through the urethra or through an incision in the abdomen.
Biologic Therapy (Immunotherapy)
- Don't smoke or use tobacco products. If you do, quit.
- Avoid or minimize occupational exposure to certain chemicals; follow good work safety practices.
- Eat a diet rich in fruits and vegetables.
- Avoid excess intake of high fat or high cholesterol.
- Minimize the use of phenacetin, a medication.

Best in Texas: Bobcats place two on all-state baseball team
BY Chris O�Dell, email@example.com
After dominating the 10-3A all-district baseball selections, Celina continued to rack up honors this week.
The Bobcats placed two players on the 58th annual Texas Sports Writers Association/Collin Street Bakery Class 3A All-State Baseball Team as first baseman Austin Hambrick and starting pitcher Colin Firmin earned selections for standout roles during their senior campaign.
�They both deserved it,� said James Evans, Celina head coach. �I�m proud of them.�
�He was the offensive MVP in our district for a reason,� Evans said.
That offensive production landed Hambrick on the third team with Pecos first baseman Jesus Salgado.
Firmin anchored Celina�s rotation throughout the season and tallied a 10-2 record while keeping his ERA under 1.50 for the year. Those efforts helped the Bobcats earn a share of the 10-3A championship and also put Firmin on the honorable mention list for pitchers.
�He was our No. 1 pitcher,� Evans said. �He had a great year pitching and just a great year all around for us.�
Firmin became one of the few players to earn two spots on the all-state team with a selection on the honorable mention list for outfielders as well. In addition to solid play in the field, the Celina ace hit .432 and drove in 15 runs for an offense that struggled with consistency at times this season.
�It�s hard to get guys on [the all-state team],� Evans said. �All we can do is nominate a player and that�s it.�
Firmin and Hambrick helped carry Celina to a 7-1 mark against 10-3A counterparts en route to the top seed and a share of the district title. The Bobcats ultimately failed to make a long postseason run, however, after falling to Farmersville in back-to-back games after taking the series opener of the first-round playoff matchup.
Firmin was named the 10-3A MVP and Hambrick earned offensive MVP honors.
�It�ll be tough to replace those guys,� Evans said. �They were two leaders for us on and off the field.�
Celina will find itself with new competition in its quest to duplicate this season�s success in district play as the Bobcats are moving into a five-team district with Argyle, Aubrey, Carrollton Ranchview and Frisco Lone Star, while leaving Van Alstyne, Bonham, Commerce and Anna.
�We�ll have a good group of guys coming back,� Evans said. �We should still be strong in a lot of areas.�

If the MMBA will still exist, what is the margin in becoming subjects of the IMBA? What is gained, and by whom?
Without further information, this seems like a solution in search of a problem.

Except that this leaves it without any source of funding, direct membership, or accountability unless I misunderstood the model.
I'm still thinking about this, but in the mean time I've got a question... Were MORC or SORBA organized as chapters which individually became IMBA chapters and also lost their regional perspective, or did these statewide (or regional) organizations join AS chapters?
IMBA Chapter Program wrote:What is the IMBA Chapter Program?
The chapter program is IMBA's newest initiative to create a unified voice for mountain bikers. Rather than compete for members with local clubs, the chapter program will link member databases, thereby increasing both organizations' bases. To fund the program, membership dues will be split 60/40. In return, IMBA will reduce administrative burdens, and provide chapters with the tools for success. These include:
* Create business efficiencies: insurance, co-branded product.
* Joint membership: membership merge between IMBA and clubs, co branding on merchandise, fulfillment and customer service.
* Chapters will have access to IMBA's data management via CiviCRM. This will allow contact management, mass emails, event registration, reports, etc.
* Organizational support: sample bylaws, policy manual – how to manage volunteers, tax filing assistance, accounting assistance, preference in grant making and support, IMBA staff support.
What services are provided to Chapters?
For our Chapters, IMBA staff will turn the cranks of the membership services machine by running print and online campaigns for new membership acquisition and current membership renewals, sending membership and donation fulfillment packages including thank you letter, benefit offers, membership card and premium product, providing email, phone and mail customer service support to members, and offering graphic design services to ensure a professional IMBA/Chapter co-branding of all communications and services.
On the software side, the Chapter Program offers clubs an online, database driven Constituency Relationship Manager (CRM). The CRM provides a comprehensive set of software tools for running a nonprofit club. From the web-based CRM interface, a club administrator may manage the contact information of individuals, families and organizations, organize those contacts with groups and tags, track memberships and contributions, run online email campaigns, and export contact and transaction information for offline communications and financial reporting.
* Membership services provided by IMBA
o New member acquisition
o Current member renewals
o Membership thank you letter, membership card, benefit offers and premium fulfillment
o Graphic design and integration services
o Full customer service
* Constituency Relationship Manager platform for clubs
o Manage individual, family, and organizational contacts
o Track interactions and their relationships
o Groups and tags
o Track memberships and donations
o Manage communications and email campaigns
* Online Tools for joint IMBA/Chapter members
o Online donation forms
o Online membership signup/renewal forms
o Member account "self-service" center
o Club account "self-service" center

The MMBA State Board has been bogged down with administrative tasks over the past few years: emergency insurance issues, newsletter/publication creation and distribution, merchandise/store management, job descriptions, waiver creation and retention policies ... and so on ...
As board members, we're hardly qualified for the work we've been doing over the past few years and this is one solution to that problem. We would essentially be lifting that administrative burden from our shoulders as volunteers and put it on the shoulders of the professionals who have it down to a science. This would leave the "state" with more mental and physical bandwidth to dedicate to things like: trail school, cps, land manager relations, state-wide events/festivals, etc ..
This would also put the focus of our energy into the trails .. into finding new places to build trails .. into increasing mileage at existing trails .. into programs, events, traildays, and things that directly relate to the hobby that we all enjoy. Rather than the deep dark hole that is paperwork and policy.
WishIcouldcatchmybreath wrote:...We would also still need to have MMBA merchandise, and an MMBA newsletter publication.
WishIcouldcatchmybreath wrote:If anything, I would suggest a better variant would be to have the parent MMBA organization become a "chapter" of IMBA, and keep the current MMBA chapter "sub-structure" in place. Having individual MMBA chapters become chapters of IMBA would cut the parent MMBA out of loop, and essentially break its back. I just don't see how the MMBA could continue without having chapters behind it, and at the same time have a board that comes together periodically to discuss issues of statewide importance. Without having a statewide board, we would lose our statewide voice and focus, and any influence that we currently have in Lansing. How would the DNRE director or our legislators or governor react if they were approached by an national IMBA rep, rather than say the president of the MMBA or our advocacy director? If the idea is to keep the board in place (but perhaps to eliminate the need for an ED), then I am not sure how this would be reconciled with removing the chapters from underneath it.
