QuickLoansBadCredit.org has published a guide for consumers to take credit scores into their own hands and improve them. The site shares free and effective self-help tips in order to combat bad credit to obtain better finance rates in the future.
SACRAMENTO, California, March 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
QuickLoansBadCredit.org announces the publication of its new credit score repair guide and complementary animated video. The guide contains effective, practical and actionable tips on how to gradually increase credit scores in order to gain more preferential mortgage rates, finance offers and a whole host of other credit related bonuses.
Although there are legitimate professional credit score advisory services on offer from some companies, QuickLoansBadCredit.org explains how many dubious firms will charge significant fees to employ the very same techniques that consumers can utilize themselves for free.
QuickLoansBadCredit.org announced the availability of the guide and video in the following official statement.
"QuickLoansBadCredit.org felt motivated to compile a guide for consumers who want to be in the driving seat of their own financial wellbeing without paying an expensive company to do the work for them. We believe that individuals with bad credit who want to improve their situations can do so by following our genuine tips, without spending an extra unnecessary dime. We invite consumers to read our guide and watch the accompanying video for free to learn how to take action."
The U.S. Federal Trade Commission has ruled that consumers are entitled to obtain for free their own credit file every twelve months in order to inspect its contents. As such, the QuickLoansBadCredit.org guide highlights contacting any of the 3 credit reporting agencies the first step that consumers should take in order to assess the details of their files. In addition, the Fair Credit Report Act stipulates that TransUnion, Experian or Equifax are obliged to receive and handle any disputes or errors that a consumer finds within their credit files. Likewise, there is no charge for reporting or disputing data.
The QuickLoansBadCredit.org guide explains how individuals can implement a regimen of careful money management and strategic credit card use combined with full payment of balances each month to see the improvements to their credit scores. Consumers are advised to apply for a secured credit card in order to generate newly positive payment histories in order to rank higher than previous negative defaults.

Y. 11735 • Public • * ' rfox 146, Farmingdaie, N. Y. Thursday, April 29, 1971 Mail , eet School Has Now Become a Surplus Item Classes 4- 6 Will Be Transferred - Over 30 Teachers Dismissed In something like 800 letters mailed to parents of children attending the school, the word has already gone out. Main Street School will join the baldheaded eagle on the list of endangered species. As a matter of fact: Next year it will in all probability become an educational do- do bird. Meaning it won't exist at all, at least not as a public school. DEDICATION: Mrs. Robert Bruce, whose late husband was honored Sunday by Farmingdaie residents, accepts a proclamation from Oyster Bay Town Supervisor John W. Burke honoring Mr. Bruce's efforts for youngsters in the area. Joining in during ceremonies dedicating a Little League field ( Maple Avenue off Staples Street) in Bruce's name are: from left to right. Oyster Bay Town Councilman Warren M. Doolittle, Town Councilman Joseph J. Saladino, Mrs. Bruce. Burke, Town Councilman Ralph Diamond and Little League president Paul Zimmerman. To explain the contemplated phasing out of Main Street School and the ramifications thereof the Board of Education invited the parents affected by this plan to a meeting Tuesday night. Approximately one third of the parents showed up and let it be known that they were not overly enthusiastic at the prospect of having their children change Village Board Vows Cleanliness Garbage Ordinance Will Be Strictly Enforced - Gerngras Park Opens Monday The Women's Club of Farmingdaie found a potent ally in its effort to keep Farmingdaie clean: The Village Board at its meeting Monday night went on record with its determination to energetically prosecute all violators of the village garbage ordinance. Mayor Zureck and the trustees stressed the following points: No garbage or refuse is permitted to be placed either at the curbside or outside of any premises on a Saturday night, as there is no service for pick- up on Sundays. Outside containers used for business purposes must have the covers completely closed and no evidence of garbage being exposed. Residents of the village must have all garbage containers covered when placed at curbside for pick- up, and same shall not be placed for collection until the night prior to such schedule. A reasonable time is permitted to remove the empty receptacles after collection. However, by nightfall of the same day, these receptacles must be removed from the curb. No loose boxes are permitted as well as newspapers unless tied into a bundle. A total of five containers or bundles are permitted each pick- up. The refuse remaining from any renovation work being done at either a residence or a business establishment must be removed either by the contractor or at the Youngsters Wanted For Summer Work Recreation and parks commissioner Richard A. Fitch issued a call for youngsters who will have spare time available during the summer months to help out at county parks. " Boys and girls between 14 and 18", said Fitch, " are needed to assist our regular recreation staff at various county facilities. We are especially interested in volunteer performers such as singers, musicians, bands, dancers and actors who would like to display their abilities before the public." Anyone wishing an application for the volunteer program should call 292- 4130 or write to : Summer Volunteers, Nassau County Department of Recreation and Parks. Eisenhower Park, East Meadow, N. Y, 11554. personal expense to the residence or business establishment so improved. In the matter of household goods being removed, such as old r e f r i g e r a t o r s , mattresses, stoves, etc., a call should be placed with the village contractor, Monbro Sanitation Service, at SU 5- 4044. Along Main Street, the Highway Department has placed receptacles on the meter posts for disposing of paper bags, candy wrappers, etc., and the Board of Trustees request that such containers be used rather than dropping such items on the sidewalk area. The Nassau County Police Department is being alerted by the Board of Trustees of its desire to " keep Farmingdaie clean", and violators of the ordinance are subject to a fine of $ 25.00 if convicted. Another matter dealt with was the Emil Gerngras Park at Staples Street, which will be opened to the public on Monday at 8 a. m. and every day thereafter. TTie park will cose at dusk. A p p r o p r i a t e d e d i c a t i on ceremonies are expected to be held within a short time, pending receipt of a placque to honor the donor, Mr. Emil Gerngras, a lifelong resident of the village and long time active member of the Farmingdaie Fire Department. During his business career he was associated with the Bank of Farmingdaie, continuing his association with the Franklin National Bank after absorption of the former. Mayor Zureck and the Board of Trustees take this signal approach in determining the use of the park as a tribute to the memory of Mr. Gerngras, who exhibited a great deal of affection for children. His deep feeling for the future of Farmingdaie was demonstrated by him in deeding his property to the residents of the Village of Farmingdaie, for whatever use the Board of Trustees would find desirable. schools next semester. However, the Board of Education did have one persuasive argument going for it, which prevented the parent's displeasure from expanding into revolutionary fervor: Money. Leaving things as they would prevent the Board from reducing its operating expenses by at least $ 210,000 for the upcoming fiscal year. In terms of the tax rate this means approx. 20 cents per $ 100 assessed valuation. But let's start at the beginning. As an area that has no more room for a population expansion, the Farmingdaie school district is experiencing now what has already become an established face in several portions of western Nassau County. It has more clat^ rooir. s and staff than is needed. New school enrollment is declining at an ever increasing rate because only a few new and young families are moving into our area. Healey Invites His Constituents Residents of the Farmingdaie, South Farmingdaie and North Massapequa area will have a chance to present their problems and suggestions to their elected state representative this Saturday. This is the date set by Assemblyman Phil Healey, for another district meeting with his constituents. The place is Guilford Hall of Farmingdaie Senior High and the time 1 - 3 p. m. All residents are cordially invited to make use of this opportunity to establish personal contact with Assemblyman Healey. Teachers: Can Do Without Board In the tradition of suburban education there are voters, a school board, and teachers ( not to forget also children for whom the cumbersome apparatus of school bureaucracy has been built). Suggestions have been made - as recently as during the teachers' protest meeting of the Farmingdaie school district on Wednesday afternoon at the Mill Lane School - that one could do without the other: the teachers without the school board and the school board ultimately without the voters. Present at the protest meeting - called to voice strong objections to the proposed dismissal of 30 • fulltime teachers and one half-time teacher - were about 350/ members of the faculty. This was a very good turnout, according to teachers union official Terry Rowan. He was the one who strongly denounced the school board for its failure to meet the crisis. " The board," said Rowan during his speech, " has no means to influence the legislators in Albany and has no background in education." Rowan minced no words, when he called for a new coalition between students, parents and teachers to prepare for a complete takeover of the Farmingdaie school system and abolition of the school board. Dr. William Kinzler, superintendent of schools, explained the necessity of the teacher cutbacks by showing several graphs which indicated the downward trend in the « Public Budget Meeting At Howitt Junior High What everybody in Farmingdaie has been waiting for will take place on Wednesday, May 5, at 8: 30 P. M. in the auditorium of the Howitt Junior High School: the proposed school budget of the Farmingdaie School System will lie subject to a public hearing. enrollment in the elementary levels and the tapering off of attendance in the junior High School level. School Board President, Mrs. Lucille Goulding, introduced as the Christian among the Lions by union president Ken Deedy, indicated that ultimately school budget decisions may have to be taken away from the voters. She could, nevertheless, say very little to calm the apprehension of the teachers. To the surprise ol now one, the meeting ended on a harsh note. Union officials again charged that the school board had broken not only the spirit but also the letter of a mutual^ igreement not to decide on any dismissals without talking matters over with the teacher first. At the conclusion of the meeting a policy statement was issued which promised decisive action should one more teacher be cut without the knowledge of the union. Figures compiled by school superintendent Dr. William Kinzlerand his staff make this abundantly clear. The Farmingdaie schools reached their enrollment peak in 19,64 with a kindergarten class of 1345 pupils. From then on it went steadily downhill - down to 832 in 1970. P r o j e c t i n g k i n d e r g a r t en enrollment to 1974, based on all factors known at present brings this figure down to an estimated 710. Or to put it another way: Over the span of ten years enrollment is declining by almost 50 per cent. From these statistics it becomes obvious that Farmingdaie had to have one day more school facilities and staff than children. This day has come now on the primary level and will in a few years come also on the secondary level. As the peak enrollment of 1964 moves through the upper grades it will be followed by smaller and smaller classes. And as the class of ' 76 casts a final glance at Farmingdaie High even the Junior High Schools, and . . entuwlly Senior High, will be more than is needed. But to return to the present. With over 500 elementary school children less than space available, economies suggested itself. How to effect these economies, though, is another matter. It seems logical that one looking for savings would search for the optimum -- which to the Board of Education was closing Main Street School. It is the oldest in the system and consequently the most costly to maintain. To cite an instance: The plumbing system is in dire need of rejuvenation, which would cost something like $ 100,000, according to the administration. Once it was decided that Main Street school would be the target of economies, their extent was to be decided. It was here that the School Board was divided, with some members favoring an immediate shutdown of Main Street School and others arguing for a phasing- out in two steps. The latter group was in the majority. It was persuaded by the argument that time was needed to study the question of the eventual disposition of the school building and Its grounds. This phase- out will mean the transfer of grades 4, 5 and 6 to Northside, East Memorial, Woodward Parkway and Albany Avenue schools. Most children will be transported by bus to their new schools ( see map on page 12). The school board underscored that this will not increase transportation cost in any way. The immediate savings resulting from this proposal, and to be reflected in the budget that will be unveiled next Wednesday at 8: 30 p. m. at Weldon E. Howitt JHS, amount to $ 210,000, according to the figures presented. The partial closing of Main Street school will make possible a reduction in the clerical and custodial staff as well as in the cost of utilities amounting to $ 45,000 per year. Further staff reductions namely the ( ioiitinued tm I'age 12)

From Interlock Rochester Wiki
This is an attempt to organize a history of Interlock. For new members or other hacker spaces this is where you can learn from our trials and our tribulations. It gives a reminder of where we have been and how much we have grown. IGadget
From Hackerspace.org:
Regular open meetings every Tuesday at 7pm. Thursday nights are programming and make nights. Local python, Linux, info sec groups regularly use the space to meet. Website, wiki, google group, and flickr group are all on the website.
Founding - May 2009
As far as I know the 4 initial founding members were AntiTree, Beardicus, Adam and Ashley. In May of 2009 the ball was rolling enough that a hackerspaces.org entry was placed.
It would be nice if someone would pass me some details on the following: How you initially got together, Panera Bread Meetings, Meetup, deciding to create a hacker space, how may people there were when the need of a location was decided, and how fast the location was well located. That all happened before I arrived.
Temp Space October 2009
Two rooms - the front, about 300sq.ft. and rear 225sq.ft. This small closet of an area was located across the hall from where our first space taking shape. October 2009 we moved in. Building management was working on segmenting off our space to be, removing a bunch of junk and clearing out a pile of pipeage from the ceiling. We were clearing things off too.
Planning for what would be where in the new space was a regular discussion point at meetings. An Electrical Diagram was drawn up for the space and a group of people took it upon themselves to put together a well provisioned network. What is Hacker Space without a network? Boring, but more on that later. A member donated cable from a work upgrade so plenty was on hand. It was decided to hang too much rather than have to string wire later. A six drop box was installed at every 4 gang duplex outlet the kitchen had three drops. Overkill. Some quick install jacks were used which while cheap were touchy to install. With some confusion and much testing there was a working internal network when we officially opened the doors.
The move date slipped a few time because of delays on their end and scope changes on ours. During the following months the number of people in the group exploded. We discussed the types of meetings we would hold and how memberships would work. Safety issues and the or the lack of safety measures were discussed and a military issue personal field trauma kit was hung on the wall.
Our first Lightening Talks were scheduled in
First Space March 2010
At the beginning of March 2010 we finally moved into our first space. Its 1100 sq.ft. size was just about double the Temp Space and felt huge with possibilities. It was also clean and painted white the floor was painted grey, it was bright, very bright. Right away we started changing things. Beardicus put in place the Keyless door system and it was operational 4-6-2010. Plans were discussed to attach it to the yet un-built LDAP server.
The brightness was addressed by taking out half the florescent tubes and a mostly four person crew of Adam, Ashly, Nick and Steve started painting pipes all different colors. One night after some drinking a couch was painted as well.
This led to some chaos and stubbed toes and a surprise mannequin placed just inside the door in such a way to scare some life into the next person to open the space. Later to become Mannequin Ceiling-Hanger.
Network provider - aka The Trouble with Tribbles Choosing a network provider turned out to be harder than we thought. TWTC wanted an arm, a leg, and the first born child. That wouldn't work on our fledgling Non Profit budget. Frontier, the LEC, was willing to work on the price point for a three year contract. We had two POTS lines and a DSL carrier on the secondary line. The first DSL Bridge bit the dust because it wasn't attached to the DeMARC well, A random person moving stuff bumped into it knocking it off.
Later to get us the speed they promised they ended up adding a second DSL line in on a third circuit (blind or naked DSL). A special two circuit bridge was installed which no one at their support knew existed or how to troubleshoot. Only 2 field techs in the area knew how it worked. You don't want to be a guinea pig for your internet provider unless they give you a tech support number for the people running the tests. It kept mysteriously failing. Internet service would still be there, both DSL lights would be active, but only few percent of packets would go though.
After many months we were finally given a way to troubleshoot/test it when it was failing and to get it half operational. The problem turned out to be that the unit didn't handle it well when one of the circuits became noisy, but didn't fail completely. The phone board was rewired so that anyone with a pair of pliers could hard fail either circuit to restore partial functionality to internet access. Neither circuit would remain clean for more than a few weeks. This wasn't working out and we were beginning to look at expanding. The search was opened up for a new space and a new internet provider.

This was the first time my husband and I have ever stayed at a bed and breakfast, and while it was a pleasant experience at The Lazy Cloud, I don't think we will go back. It is very pricey in my opinion at $235 a night. We stayed in the Enchanted Treehouse room which is attached to the lobby. The... More

Not too horribly long ago, I got two new old cameras. The first was a 1936 Ikoflex, a sophisticated little camera that should take some great shots. The next was a 1940 Kodak Popular Brownie, a simple box camera.
After shooting a roll on each of them, I'm sort of disappointed with myself.
The Ikoflex had all that fancy photography stuff like aperture settings and different shutter speeds. It's very capable of capturing some fine photos. Most of the roll, however, was washed out, except for the first photo.
So what happened? It's rather embarrassing. I forgot that the aperture settings are measured "backwards." Meaning, when you open the iris, the numbers decrease rather than increase. I had it backwards. It's been awhile since I really thought about f/stops. I had the camera set for f5ish for most of the time in the sunny desert. That's bound to end badly when shooting on 100 speed film.
The Popular Brownie, however, might have to be my dark winter camera. This one has no aperture settings and has no adjustable shutter speed. It's a very simple point and shoot. When it was made, seventy or so years ago, I'm sure it worked just fine. But since then, the spring has probably gotten a little weak and the shutter speed has slowed a bit.
This gives you some washed out photos, which is a real shame. The two that you see here were the only things that came out. Everything else was almost completely white.
Thankfully, Seattle is typically cloudy, so from October through May, this camera will work just fine. It'll take some experimenting, but I bet I can find the right conditions for it.

Audyssey's award-winning audio dock that delivers unbelievable sound, hands-free phone calls and streams your music wirelessly. Dock your iPhone or sync your device and hear the difference.
The Audio Dock was built for versatility. Along with deep bass and balanced sound we've packed a suite of the best sounding bells and whistles into this table top speaker set.
Starting with custom-designed drivers optimized for Audyssey technology, our engineers and designers work together to build the Audio Dock to precise specifications. We thought through every detail.
"The Audio Dock sounds fantastic and delivers great value by doubling as a PC speaker and speakerphone."
"If you're looking for a high-end iPhone or iPod speaker dock, Audyssey's Audio Dock is definitely worth considering."
"This sci-fi hi-fi rocks a hands-free mike and woofers that pound out more bass per square inch than Barry White."
"squeezes sophisticated software engineering cred – found in the high-end audio equipment you might already own – into one diminutive grilled black slab."
"Audyssey's entry produces the bass of a speaker twice its size, signaling an end to drab mobile sound."
"For an attractive and great-sounding speaker dock to charge your iPhone in the office, the SOMA is well worth a look."
"theater-worthy sound-calibration algorithms – which, among other things, make sound swell at low volumes – into a dual-woofer and dual-tweeter iPhone dock."
"one of the best-sounding iPhone/iPod speakers in its price class."
"This dock transforms from a Bluetooth speakerphone to floor-thumping 200-watt music player with a press of a button."
Featured in Rolling Stone's 2010 "100 Holiday Gifts that will Rock your Stockings Off"
Designed specifically for the Audyssey Audio Dock, the Audyssey App gives the iPhone user the ability to customize their sound. The app also features a new way of adjusting bass and treble using Audyssey Tilt, Fast Slope tone controls and a selection of Audyssey's Dynamic Volume presets, including "Background Listening." And with a full-screen graphical editor for creating custom EQ curves, you can tailor the sound as much as you like.

I just really wanted to submit to Equestria Daily! - July 1, 2011 at 8:05 PM
dear goddess official pony merch and Celestia's actually her correct colour, it's a miracle

I really like the "Brains & Beauty" thing they've got going for Twilight Sparkle. You don't really see toys made for little girls having a message of "hey, yeah, you can be super-smart AND pretty at the same time!" all that much.
I dunno. I thought that was neat. :D - July 1, 2011 at 8:14 PM

Those magnets are probably the most character-design accurate merchandise that Hasbro has shown so far. Thank Celestia, they're making progress!

Realistic on-model plushies would definitely be an improvement. I'd so get one for each of the characters, especially Twilight and Fluttershy.
Also, that "Brains & Beauty" thing for that Twilight Sparkle bag is definitely pretty neat and also very accurate in regards to her personality. - July 1, 2011 at 8:22 PM

I got my boyfriend to stop at Target after work to check the dollar bins for the pony stuff. No luck. :( I'm going to check another Target tomorrow when we're out shopping and another on Sunday during our trip to New Hampshire. I'm a sucker for cute cheap stuff, so I'm DEFINITELY going crazy for cheap pony stuff haha.
- July 1, 2011 at 8:54 PM
I saw 'brains' and missed the other stuff, and thought 'ZOMBIE PONIES'.
- July 1, 2011 at 9:03 PM
Finally, some pony merchant that actually looks worth buying. I'm sooo getting that Celestia pen for when school starts up and those magnets to decorate my locker. :D
- July 1, 2011 at 9:09 PM
- Lady Luna said...
Holy crap, stickers? Want.
Also, my mom works at Micheals. She'd told me she'd get me one of those coloring books if I wanted one.
I love my mom. XD - July 1, 2011 at 9:33 PM
Why doesn't Hasbro just sell this stuff on their website? Then everyone could buy it all in one place.
- July 1, 2011 at 9:42 PM
I actually kinda really want these, since I could put these to good use.
- July 1, 2011 at 10:09 PM
Still using that awful Twilight vector I see. Well, at least it's not as bad as Rarity.

Cool, though I wish they would pick a broader spectrum of colors for the notebooks and such. Maybe using the colors of the Mane 6, for example...
This is another gender stereotype that needs to be pulverized. Little girls are not chromatically challenged, and do like other colors besides pink, if my nieces are any indication. - July 2, 2011 at 7:50 AM

I got the coloring book! It's about 50-60 pages long and only $1. (But there does seem something off about the art... probably because it was drawn by non-animators, I'd guess. Oh well. I got a pony book. :) )
- July 2, 2011 at 4:29 PM
Can't believe myself, feel like I need a Ponies Anonymous thread (And I'm too lazy to look). Just over a month ago I was graduating high school. Had no idea there was a new MLP series, and probably would have laughed till I hurt myself if you told me I would be a fan. Now I gave ponies on my desktop, on my iPod, all over my bookmarks, and over a gig of pony stuff on my hard disk. Now I'm thinking up excuses to borrow the car to sneak out to but some merch, and earlier today I found myself putting a cutie mark on one of my 1:18 model cars (Rarity would like a Mercedes, right?). Sorry for the rant, after two weeks of lurking around MLP sites (Manely here) with no real life bronies around where I live, I may have just snapped...

ok this happens ALL THE TIME, heres a scenario to explain. i would be getting shot at so i run past a corner and the bullets get me even though im past the corner on my screen but on the kill cam im not, i know all call of duties have been like this but its so annoying, maybe activision could make dedicated servers instead of hosts. like if you agree with me so that activision will see this
What you are experiencing is lag. Whether the source is your own connection or a function of lag comp (maybe both) is debatable. While the host connection can be a source of lag it is not the only source. Dedicated servers would only help ease some of the lag caused by people joining and leaving the match because the host wouldn't change and therefore your connection to the host wouldn't change but that doesn't mean that you would have a good connection to the server or that other folks in the lobby would have a good connection to the server. If either of these connections are bad then there will be lag effects in the game regardless of having a dedi server or not. But to your point yes it is annoying when you get shot around a corner.
i know its not my connection as everybody has this issue and what i REALLY HATE is when i knife somebody but they kill me with a gun and my knife doesnt register i have youtube videos of it lol its so annoying

- Borders gift card holders deserve nothing, judge rules
By Jonathan Stempel (Reuters) - Borders owes nothing to holders of roughly $210.5 million of gift cards that had not been used by the time the bookstore chain shut down, a Manhattan federal judge ruled on Wednesday. U.S. District Judge Andrew Carter said it would be unfair to other creditors of the former Borders Group Inc. to let gift card holders pursue recoveries from the bankruptcy estate. To do so, Carter explained, could upset a liquidation by Borders' bankruptcy trustee that is already "substantially" completed. ...

When you say the words "audiophile release," people generally don't think first of the Sex Pistols. But don't forget that Never Mind The Bollocks... Here's The Sex Pistols was produced by two veterans of the golden age of British studio wizardry: Chris Thomas (who played on the White Album and recorded Pink Floyd, Badfinger, and Roxy Music, to name but a few) and Bill Price (who designed the legendary AIR Studios).
It's no secret that we're big fans of Oppo's line of universal players; in fact, we suggested last year that the company's BDP-93 would likely be the last disc player you'd ever need to buy.
Well, we were wrong. The just-announced BDP-103 ($499) and BDP-105 ($1,199) replace the BDP-93 and 95, and add enough new features to the enticing Oppo package that we just might have to rethink our position.
An interesting press release crossed my desk (read: popped into my e-mail Inbox) on Friday:
"John Mellencamp's Life, Death, Love, and Freedom, from Hear Music, July 15."
Buried down in the fourth paragraph is this:
Seven years ago, when we launched our coverage of DVD-Audio in the February/March 2001 double issue, we ran an exclusive interview with Neil Young, where the "legendary rocker and CD-hater" sang the praises of the new format.
Been meaning to post this link for some time now . . .
Or so the masses seem to be saying.
As you may recall, I landed a super-advance copy of Fear of a Blank Planet on DVD-Audio for an exclusive review in the May issue.
Herewith, today's press release.—Ken Richardson
Perhaps you noticed the phrase that has been touting, among other things, the Neil Young Archives/Performance Series: "Because Sound Matters." It refers to the fact that each CD+DVD title includes 96-kHz/24-bit "high-resolution audio" on DVD-Video (but not DVD-Audio).
Extra! "The multichannel sound available for homes has arrived for the car." So says a teaser on the front page of the Automobiles section in this Sunday's edition of The New York Times.
Good news, bad news . . .

There will be a special bank holiday to celebrate the Queen's Diamond Jubilee in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland on Tuesday 5th June 2012.
In general, there is no statutory entitlement to paid leave for public or bank holidays and no automatic right for employees to have this extra public holiday as paid leave, if this is not specified in their employment contract or been established by custom and practice.
Members should check their employment contracts carefully to see what it says about holiday entitlement and public holidays.
Some employers may wish to give the extra paid day off to maintain good relations; in this case they should make it clear that this is a one off event applying on this particular date only.
Anyone applying the BATJIC Working Rule Agreement must give their employees 21 working days plus eight days public holidays per annum which will normally be Christmas day, Boxing Day, New Years Day, Good Friday, Easter Monday, the first Monday in May, Spring Bank Holiday and the Summer Bank Holiday. (There may be regional variations, for instance in Scotland, where local customs require alternative dates shall apply).
In addition, BATJIC has confirmed that employers applying the BATJIC Working Rule Agreement should also give the extra paid public holiday for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.

If it's an action or adventure holiday you are after, there are few better places to head to than Egypt.
That's according to Jenna McMurray, from the QMI Agency, who wrote for canoe.ca that while Egypt boasts many beautiful beaches, restaurants and resorts, many other places do as well.
The jewel in Egypt's crown, she claims, is its rich history and monuments which are dotted right across the land.
Ms McMurray says that an obvious place to start one's Egyptian adventure is to head for the pyramids.
"The Great Pyramids and the Great Sphinx of Giza, located on the outskirts of Cairo, are likely the country's best-known features and though they are crawling with tourists, they are well worth your time," she writes.
However, an adventure holiday in Egypt is about more than its pyramids, with Ms McMurray adding that a trip to Aswan in the south is a must in order to explore a different culture and way of life to that found in many other parts of the country.
Anthony Sattin, writing in the Observer, recently recommended travellers make their way to Aswan, which has a rich history but is often overlooked by visitors.

Fractivists Want River Commission to Regulate Gas Pipelines
Environmental activists want The Delaware River Basin Commission to regulate gas pipeline construction that could affect the watershed
The Delaware River Basin Commission (DRBC) remains silent on new Marcellus Shale drilling regulations for the Delaware River watershed as commission members from New York work on completing their regulatory update, according to a State Impact report.
In the meantime, pipeline construction in Pennsylvania is booming. Smaller lines from wellheads, as well as large interstate lines, will go below rivers and streams. Activists who want the DRBC to ban gas drilling also want the commission to start weighing in on pipelines near waterways which feed the Delaware.
Should the DRBC regulate new gas pipelines that could affect the Delaware River watershed? Tell us what you think in the comments section below.
It's been ten months since the DRBC canceled a vote on natural gas regulations that would have allowed drilling in the Delaware River watershed.
On Wednesday, at its fourth meeting since that canceled vote, none of the five members - representing Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, New York, and the federal government - on the Delaware River Basin Commission offered comment on the matter, according to a Philly.com report.
Despite low prices and a new tax on the industry, natural gas production in Pennsylvania has doubled in the past year.
Drillers operating in Pennsylvania's expansive Marcellus shale gas field extracted 895 billion cubic feet of gas during the first six months of 2012, according to figures released by the state Department of Environmental Protection.
That's up from about 435 billion cubic feet during the same period in 2011, according to DEP.
More than 2,700 actively producing Marcellus shale gas wells exist in Pennsylvania, with the highest concentration in Washington and Greene counties in the state's southwest corner and Tioga, Susquehanna and Bradford counties along the northern tier, according to DEP.

some people are looking for something to object about....anyone with a brain knows that we need the natural gas the tax revenue should be used for tax relief not for the grubby politicians to waste

Louis, some of us like to drink water not laced with kool-aid.
Anthony Wayne
12:43 pm on Sunday, September 16, 2012
Your daily dose of kool-aid comes courtesy of the Federal Government, not from the DRBC. :)
8:51 pm on Sunday, September 16, 2012
Well some of us like to drink the water not laced with parasites, which the gas would kill.
Ron Beitler
8:28 am on Monday, September 17, 2012
I prefer drinking water not laced with carcinogens. I went to school out at Slippery Rock U. About an hour North of Pittsburgh. I have many friends who live in the "northern tier" who I visit regularly. Bradford county specifically a buddy of mine lives. (As you may know this is the biggest county in terms of wells) I can tell you first hand from people who live in this area. Stories like this ARE real. http://switchboard.nrdc.org/blogs/amall/one_familys_life_in_the_gas_pa.html
Now, the sad thing is this. Residents from this area DO support drilling for the most part. Why? There are literally ghost towns up that way. We live in a bubble here in the LV. We really do. While we had a minor recession here. Up in the northern tier it's more like a decade long depression. These folks are willing to gamble on their health for this windfall.
I ask this. Is this the long term economic solution? We can't do better? We can't create permanent jobs?
9:30 am on Sunday, September 16, 2012
The Basin Commission has no authority to regulate land use and it should stay that way. Land use regulations are the sovereignty of the state not an agency with no elected officials who think they can run roughshod over everyone.
The DRBC should stick to what they were created to do, water consumption, quality and disposal and nothing more. They don't have the expertise or experience to regulate and that is straight from the DRBC staff. They would do more harm then good which is apparent from their disastrous water release policy, the FFMP which has had negative ecological consequences for the river.
11:02 am on Sunday, September 16, 2012
Remember, we have pipelines now which people enjoy as they dry their clothes and heat their homes. As population increases (and people switch from oil and coal to cheaper gas) new lines will be installed even if gas comes from Louisiana. This gas will heat the homes of the so-called "fractivists" even as they complain about drilling and piping it. We'll have to force them to take the gas and save money and get away from coal. It's an absurd situation.
louis kootsares
11:25 am on Sunday, September 16, 2012
oh gosh oh gee oh golly jaime so does everyone else thats why we have government agencies regulating them .. they really do not need boo hoo whiners wimpering about everything

No one is going to be paying less in gas, since any surplus will not drive down prices in PA, but will be sold out of state to the highest bidder. Do people really believe the Gas companies won't sell gas drilled in PA to other states where the price and demand is higher? I love all you sheep arguing that you're personally going to see a drastic reduction in your heating bill and taxes, and is going to be great for the economy. I'd go on explaining my view point, but the sheep on this site don't get past four sentences before they have another foolish point to make. Baaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh
3:45 pm on Sunday, September 16, 2012
All the people who think fracking is a good thing should take a trip down to Appalachia. The only thing "benefiting" is corporate greed. Water, once polluted, will not "save" us anything but the corporations who polluted it will not have to live with it. We will.
Bruce Bailey
8:07 pm on Sunday, September 16, 2012
It's simple, really. The state should agree to well-regulated gas drilling as soon as two criteria are met: 1) the fracking companies reveal all of the chemical ingredients of the toxic soup they are pumping into the ground as part of this process, and all of those ingredients are ruled safe by an impartial board of scientists; and 2) a tax and fee structure is imposed that will fairly pay PA taxpayers for this intense and profitable use of nonrenewing state resources and act as escrow against repair of all roads, lands, and infrastructure that is impacted by the gas drillers. Once those two things happen, I think most would agree it would be OK to move ahead. Of course, neither of those things is happening with Corbett and his cronies in charge of Harrisburg; instead, the citizens, as well as this beautiful state, are being fracked while Republican politicians reap bundles of campaign contributions as payment for bending over.
Bruce Davis
8:48 pm on Sunday, September 16, 2012
Pipeline infrastructure will fail eventually and before these companies take their profits and run off or claim bankruptcy at least a clean up and removal cost should be evaluated for these drilling sites and pipelines. Then a fund for clean up be created to repair damage to the environment or compensate those who have and will be affected by fracking, drilling and pipelines. Gas companies must be responsible entities to the people and the environment of the states they deprive a living from. We citizens we must realize demand for fuels will not go away anytime soon. Fracking itself is another real problem that must be addressed and can it continue safely without permanently ruining the ground water we take for granted. If we didn't learn from mistakes in the BP disaster in the Gulf will we ever learn.
8:54 pm on Sunday, September 16, 2012
Really thinks we could save some money eliminating EPA, or eliminating to only certain things they handle, like huge gas spills or fuel leaks, not just a drop of gas and they respond. And as for people that do not like our natural resources being produced, then turn off your tvs, computers, a/c's, heaters, and so on, because I would like to live in modern times till I am dead, not go back to the stone age or become amish country because activists do not like people accessing our resources.
8:55 pm on Sunday, September 16, 2012
Because if we stop producing or accessing them we are eventually going to not have them.
Bruce Davis
9:40 pm on Sunday, September 16, 2012
Checkout how easy it is to destory the environment and how it was without the EPA.
Also, because some companies have taken no responsibility we the taxpayers end up with the bill and the problem regardless. If there was no EPA we would have to create it.
11:28 pm on Sunday, September 16, 2012
Really no difference, then lakes were closed for too high of chemicals now they are closed for bacteria, kind of like beltzville. I know for myself I would rather swim and maybe get cancer 30 yrs down the road then swim with a slight cut in my leg and develop a flesh eating bacteria and face cutting my limbs off or dieing immediately.
11:31 pm on Sunday, September 16, 2012
And did the health hazards then ever occur, because they did not give any amount of people becoming ill and what occurred, where the diseases now are evident like the amoeba, legionarres and the flesh eating nightmare.
Ron Wagner

http://ronwagnersrants.blogspot.com Natural gas is the future of energy. It is replacing dirty, dangerous, expensive coal and nuclear plants. It is producing the electricity for electric cars. It will directly fuel cars,pickup trucks, vans, buses, long haul trucks, dump trucks, locomotives, aircraft, ships etc. It will keep us out of more useless wars, where we shed our blood and money. It is reducing CO2 emissions. Here are over 1,400 recent links for you:
Ron Beitler
8:35 am on Monday, September 17, 2012
I agree with that. There is no doubt Nat gas IS the bridge we need to buy time until green energy is cost efficient.
All we need to do is just figure out how to get it out of the ground safely. I could dig up dozens of article citing incidents like this: http://stateimpact.npr.org/pennsylvania/2012/07/05/4700-gallons-of-acid-spill-at-bradford-county-drilling-site/
There ARE viable alternatives to chemical fracking. Exothermic non-hydraulic extraction for one. Why aren't we exploring these? Probably chemical fracking is slightly cheaper.
10:58 pm on Sunday, September 16, 2012
These Greenies are never happy. Maybe one of the actual Greenie chemists can explain to this conservative chemist, probably termed by them "moron", just exactly how a GAS is going to pollute the WATER. I know I am probably a simpleton but a GAS may pollute the air but I have a real hard time figuring how it will pollute the water.
Morgan King
11:31 pm on Sunday, September 16, 2012
That's not the concern - you don't seem to understand how the process works. The gas doesn't pollute the water, the liquids used in hydraulic fracturing can pollute the water.
The issue is whether or not the fluids pumped deep underground can reach the water supply - some studies say it can:
11:35 pm on Sunday, September 16, 2012
Yeah I always thought chemicals in water evaporate, especially in heat. Obviously these people never owned swimming pools or they never figured out why they need chlorine added regularly or they just never add it like they are supposed too.
Ron Beitler
8:57 am on Monday, September 17, 2012
Also the distinction of "greenies" is getting more and more blurred. Trust me, the fastest growing segment of the republic party are the young fiscal conservatives who also happen to be environmentally aware and really could care less about social issues other then the need to reform entitlements. The days where the republican party was the steward of the environment is coming back I sincerely hope. This is true now in the case of younger republicans, I hear it everyday. Folks need to get used to that. And old line R politicians who support dismantling of environmental laws need to understand this. At least if they want to win elections.
Remember it was TR who created our national park system...
Nixon who signed into the law the National Environmental Policy Act..
R's who passed the Wilderness act
Ford who initiated MPG standards
Reagan supported the Montreal Protocol siding with science
And Bush 2 who established Marine preserves, taking TR's work into our Oceans.
Ron Beitler
8:44 am on Monday, September 17, 2012
Here is my take:
1. I have no doubt fracking harms groundwater. No doubt in my mind. I personally know people whose wells have been affected. But the windfall is so big they ignore health concerns because they have no other comparable alternative.
2. Despite the danger, Nat Gas remains our best hope for energy independence. . . FOR NOW. It's the bridge we need before green energy becomes sustainable.
3. What we need to explore is an alternative to fracking to get the nat gas out of the ground. I agree nat gas is the way to go. We just need a safe way to get it out. These alternatives exist now. Why we aren't exploring them is the 10 million dollar question.
4. Drilling is a temporary economic boom to desperate areas. It is a bandaid for local economies in the northern tier. A lucrative band-aid but one nonetheless. It's temporary. We need permanent solutions to bring jobs to these areas.
