First-Year SeminarAs a component of the First-Year-Experience, the First-Year Seminar (CLWS 101) introduces students to the nature of a liberal arts education and to academic skills required for success at Rockford College. Small groups of students work with professors to read serious texts, to think critically about content and context, and to write and speak about this experience. You and your classmates will be challenged to see the connections between and among disciplines, as well as between education and life.The First-Year Seminar is required of all students entering Rockford College with fewer than 20 credit hours. The seminar is offered in both fall and spring semesters.
First Year Seminar Fact Sheet RhetoricRhetoric 101 is the first course in the lower-division rhetoric sequence. This course is an introduction to college-level writing. Students will develop critical thinking skills by responding to selected readings in a variety of assignments. Emphasis is on the writing process (pre-writing, drafting and revising), rhetorical concerns (audience, purpose, etc.), using technology to enhance the writing process, and basic grammar and mechanics. This course is required unless a student has an AP score of 4-5 or departmental approval of transfer credit. Students must complete this course with a grade of "C" or above.Residence Life for First-Year StudentsLiving on campus can be one of the most formative experiences of your life. Resident students tell us they enjoy the independence and also learn practical skills that last a lifetime while developing lifelong friendships. Living on campus fosters a sense of community and allows you the opportunity to be fully engaged with your college experience. While first-year students can choose from a variety of living options, Rockford College offers a housing option just for first-year students. This housing option not only affords you the opportunity to live with other first-year students who are going through similar experiences, it also provides programs and services that are geared to help new students transition into the college experience.View more information about the First Year Program in the Academic Catalog

On election night 2012 I was in DC doing the rounds of various media outlets. At one stop I found myself in a small cramped office of foreign journalists reporting to countries all over Europe and Asia, some as far as Korea. The conversations in the unventilated suite defaulted into election night chatter: "Two-seventy is impossible without Wisconsin." "Florida has 29 electrical votes, but their demographics are changing." "If Romney wins Ohio, he still needs Pennsylvania, but if Obama wins Ohio he doesn't need Pennsylvania."
At one point in the evening someone with a British accent turned to me and said: "Your elections are way too complicated."
It occurred to me that I was in a room full of people reporting to countries far older than ours, all with far (far) younger democracies. The U.S. is still a young country with the oldest constitution still in use. And this juxtaposition is made painfully apparent on Election Night.
The U.S. Constitution specifies an indirect election of the president. This was a compromise between Congress electing the executive office-holder and direct popular vote. A popular vote would mean the sparsely populated (think slave states) wouldn't get the same representation as all the white male land owners states. So the Electoral College was settled upon. Which is why today Alaska has three electoral votes even though its population is smaller than Staten Island's — it's because of slavery.
It's also why you've been dutifully voting since the second you turned 18 (provided you're under 54 years old) and you've never actually directly voted for the leader of the free world.
Does this now make sense some 200 years after ratification? Now that we no longer have a slave-based economy and the franchise has been extended to women, the answer is, "No." It now means Ohio with its 18 electoral votes gets to be the belle of the ball every four years and states like California and New York with their combined 84 get largely ignored by the two national candidates. It means your vote in Florida has more value than your cousin's vote in Wyoming.
But it really means our system is overly complicated, fragmented and largely viewed with suspicion by voters. Because the way we vote for a president is antiquated and convoluted it leads to distrust. Local lawmakers can disenfranchise voters in national elections as we saw with the arbitrary voter ID laws in battleground states. There were concerns (think hysteria) that voting machines owned by Mitt Romney's son in Ohio would deliver the election to the Republicans. The group Anonymous (or someone claiming to be Anonymous) took credit for thwarting Karl Rove's alleged attempt at stealing the election. Then on Fox News the panic was over voter fraud.
There were long lines, lost ballots and chaos on Election Day. Different voting precincts with different rules and sometimes different philosophies on who should cast their ballots we're highlighted in the national media. What it all leads to is a voting result which have a whisper of illegitimacy. There's a lingering doubt as to if the elections were fair and therefore the result valid. And it's partisan: The Left will say that of George Bush stole the election, the Right about Obama.
We could solve this issue by modernizing elections. Not only tossing out the Electoral College and letting Americans directly vote for a president, but making the requirements uniform (i.e. universal suffrage). This would make voting in Oregon just as relevant as a voting in Cuyahoga County.
A census is constitutionally required every ten years and we don't leave it up to each state to compile it. But we leave our national elections up to (in some cases) the county officials?! Federalize federal elections. We have national standards for schools and milk safety but we can't vote the same way in every state? Continued...
We can change this. And there's no better time than three years and eleven months before the next presidential election begins.

'There'll be a three-month ban'
26 Jan 2011
GARETH DUNCAN talks to Prof Tim Noakes about the Springbok 'doping' saga, and the precautions players should take to avoid testing positive.
Were you surprised to hear about Bjorn Basson and Chiliboy Ralepelle's failed drugs tests?
I didn't expect it and I don't think it was intentional. The banned stimulant, methylhexanamine, does not enhance performance in a meaningful way and it could have entered their systems in a number of ways. Certain medication and foods contain methylhexanamine, and modern drugs tests are so advanced that it will take a nanogram of that substance for the stimulant to be traced. I also suspect it could have been in the supplements they were using. While some manufacturers certify that their supplements don't contain banned substances, their equipment often produces different batches of supplements, so not all batches are always clean. If it was in the supplements, it could have happened to any of the players. Imagine if key players like Victor Matfield or Bakkies Botha had to fail the drugs tests. There would have been chaos in the media.
So the 'doping' calls were unfair?
I couldn't believe the media and people were calling the players 'dopers' and 'cheats' for what appears to have been an innocent mistake. They weren't intentionally taking drugs to enhance their performance. Normally sportsmen who can win millions in prize money are the ones who dope to win, like in the Tour de France, but South African rugby players don't earn that kind of money. The cost of proper doping that will escape detection is expensive – it can cost up to R200 000 or R300 000 per year. Most rugby players will bow down to these economical pressures.
What is methylhexanamine?
It's a pretty ineffective stimulant and it may be reclassified by the World Anti-Doping Agency [Wada] in 2011. The bad thing about its prohibited list is that most stimulants are banned without proper testing. Stimulants are banned simply because they are believed to aid performance in some sports. Some years ago we tested isoprenaline, also a banned stimulant which is similar to methylhexanamine, and found that it doesn't enhance performance. If methylhexanamine is taken off the banned list in the future, it will confirm my opinion that this is all a storm in a teacup.
What will be the consequences of the Bok 'doping' incident?
I think there will be a three-month ban because the 'doping' was unintentional and didn't involve a real doping drug like steroids. Chiliboy and Bjorn should be able to play Super Rugby in 2011.
Should the Springbok management monitor what supplements the players take?
They do, but it's a tough situation to be in because you can't guarantee that every batch of supplements the team uses will be 100% clean and it will cost a lot to test each tin of supplements. Players also receive free supplements from their sponsors and unions, and because they train for four or more hours a day, they take the supplements instead of eating. I don't understand why players continue to use supplements instead of just eating properly. It's not proven that supplements offer anything that you can't get just from eating better. And if you use the supplements, you run the risk of failing a drugs test. Players should rather eat properly or take meal replacements produced by ethical companies.
What's your take on Craven Week Player of the Year Johan Goosen also getting banned after traces of methylhexanamine were found in his system?
I don't know the details but the fact that he only received a three-month ban indicates it wasn't a serious offence and more likely an unintentional mistake. The sad thing is that junior players, especially schoolboys, see rugby professionals taking supplements, so they also take them, thinking they will help. So they also risk testing positive. There's also the view that schoolboys are more likely to dope because of the pressures of establishing a rugby career after school and the risk of detection is low since little testing is performed on junior rugby players.

26 Jan 2011, 10:37 amNot a single South African has made the shortlist(18 tries in the list) for try of the year (2011) pretty much sums up our 2010 year doesnt it.
26 Jan 2011, 10:37 amhttp://www.irb.com/history/awards/newsid=2041319.html#vote+closes+try+year+2010
26 Jan 2011, 10:39 amAlthough there are 3 tries in that list that are scored against us from NZ, Aus and Wales respectively.
26 Jan 2011, 10:45 am@PiXel_NiNja(PiXel_NiNja)-3: i haven't seen most of those tries but israel dagg's try aginst us is my favourite, he left Spies standing!
26 Jan 2011, 10:56 am@Transformation(Transformation)-5:
For me, I would say the most memorable try would definitely have been the one where Nonu slipped through Smit offering him a boot as a memento for his 100th cap, and in return robbing him(us?) of what would have been a glorious victory at the christening of FNB stadium against the best of the best.
26 Jan 2011, 11:05 am@PiXel_NiNja(PiXel_NiNja)-6: but i guarantee you the poms will vote Ashton's try against Aus as the best, they already say it's the best ever scored at Twickenham..
26 Jan 2011, 12:46 pm@PiXel_NiNja(PiXel_NiNja)-6: Scores were tied at that point if I remember correctly? If yes, glorious victory is a bit presumptuous.
26 Jan 2011, 12:48 pm@Taahirah(Taahirah)-8: well spotted
26 Jan 2011, 17:22 pmTheir testing was conducted by a private lab contracted to the IRB, it wasn't by a reputable independent anti doping agency.
They said it was a 'methylhexanamine' but since the process is a conflict of interests anyway, we simply don't know, nor does the good Doctor.
The other argument is laughable: every rugby player from the Plataland takes steroids just to get in contention for selection at school and regional level, there is no system in place to test them all, old habits died hard, assumed Chiliiboy and Basson are no exception. -
26 Jan 2011, 21:15 pmLooks like Professor Hindsight is taking over from Jake White as the resident attention ***** on keo.
26 Jan 2011, 21:16 pmThis substance is potent enough to produce noticeable effects sufficient for it to be used as a "party drug". So it's not like taking a vitamin pill.
Noakes is ignorant when claiming "the banned stimulant, methylhexanamine, does not enhance performance in a meaningful way". It mimics natural adrenaline, which gives you extraordinary strength. That is precisely why it is put into gym powder — to allow you to have a more explosive, a far more intense workout than you would otherwise have.
And nobody takes a gym powder "innocently". You take it deliberately.
These two ARE drug cheats. No doubt about it.
26 Jan 2011, 21:21 pmThis article appeared in the SA Rugby magazine which came out the beginning of December.
Well, copy and paste is the way to go.

Just a cyber poser.
27 Jan 2011, 01:02 amWHERE '*' = m o n k e y
27 Jan 2011, 08:25 amRan into Basson at Mugg&Bean in Brooklyn Mall yesterday afternoon. He was with his wife and kid, that didnt stop me from making him pose for a photo with me though. And ofcourse cracking some lame jokes bout whether he had the hot chocolate he was drinking tested. I asked bout the hearing but he didnt want to let anything slip, just that it went well and that he hopes to be back on the field of play soon.
27 Jan 2011, 08:35 amIf you really want to cheat using methylhexanamine you must be very stupid to be caught. Cheats will not be caught as easily as Chilliboy and Bjorn Basson.
27 Jan 2011, 13:21 pmAll drug cheats think they're too clever to get caught.
27 Jan 2011, 18:37 pm@Taahirah(Taahirah)-20: Just what they guy needed I am sure, some random poking their nose into his business and lunch.
28 Jan 2011, 05:20 amThis stuff gives athletes about as much advantage as a bag of jelly tots.
28 Jan 2011, 06:18 am@stormer in a teacup(stormer in a teacup)-24:
Yet two of the nine Australian athletes that tested positive at the end of last year… rugby league players… received two year bans… with the other seven currently in the courts…
28 Jan 2011, 06:23 am@stormer in a teacup(stormer in a teacup)-24: Jelly Tots aren't consumed as a party drug. This substance is. That should tell you it's really quite mighty.
28 Jan 2011, 06:46 amPerformance enhancing drugs in professional sport is nothing new.
Those that whine about it need to grow up. The Bulls are still going to knock the stuffing out of the Kaaiwaais….again.
28 Jan 2011, 07:44 am@goyougoodthing2(goyougoodthing2)-23: I know. I always feel bad about it when I do it. To his credit he responded really well and his wife is very friendly.
28 Jan 2011, 08:01 amSo they both get off. Noakes really has made a fool of himself again.
28 Jan 2011, 08:26 am@TheTackler(TheTackler)-26: Please dont EVER invite me to one of your parties…
28 Jan 2011, 08:42 amDon't worry, you can't buy jelly tots in NZ…!
28 Jan 2011, 09:01 amMarijuana is a party drug. That doesn't mean it is going to improve an athletes performance. By the way I consumed a lot of jelly tots at parties as a kid. Never had the testing in those days they have now though.
28 Jan 2011, 09:23 amTim is right. I read another interresting article about how some drugs end up on the banned list. In many cases no actual testing is done about the effects of the drug on performance, it's done mostly on heresay. Which means that in this instance it may not even have been nescessary to have put this on the banned list.
In most instances the most effective performance enhancing substances are those that mimic the existing hormone structures in the body and simply boost these. Good examples of these are EPO and Testosterone.
The test for EPO measures the hematocrit levels in the body, and the limit is 50. Normal people test anywhere around 19/20. So what cyclists do is boost the hematocrit levels through EPO, until they get close to the 50 mark and then maintain as close to that as possible. Bjarne Riise had levels close to 60 when he was doping, which is very dangerous (too much red blood cells thicken your blood)
Testosterone is also naturally present in the body in differing levels depending on genetics, age etc. In 2003 the IOC set the legal limit at a marker of 5 for testosterone in athletes. The normal lecvel is 1-2. In exeptional cases a bit higher.
In making allowances for the extreme, anti-doping agencies are tacitly allowing (some say encouraging) a certain amount of doping in athletes.
So basically the smart way to dope within the rules is to fly as close to the edge as possible without going over the limit.
In certain cases Rugby players have tested over the limit and have gotten away with the excuse that eating large amounts of red meat boosts the testosterone levels. But you'd have to eat a shed load of it to have any significant effect Kobus Visage anyone?
28 Jan 2011, 10:25 amSpringboks Chiliboy Ralepelle and Bjorn Basson can return to playing rugby immediately after a Judicial Committee found that there was "no fault" on the part of the players for positive tests for a banned stimulant.
28 Jan 2011, 21:06 pmProf Tim Noakes is starting to be a bit of a soundbite engineer…
He is really losing a bit of credibility in this silly race for publicity…
He is not the be all and end all of Sports Medicine, never mind in rugby…
With comments like these in this article his loss of credibility is real, not just imagined by Tackler.
19 Feb 2011, 11:44 amIf I ran this site I would take this article off the main page as it only proves how dumb some of the folk are that these journos interview. And you should not be advertising that.

New Game Plus
Comments327this wiki
Dragon's Dogma possesses an NG+, achievable once the Main Quest has been completed. Choosing this option (load your save game from when you complete the game after the "real" credits (when you finish the quest [The Great Hereafter]) and it will start New Game Plus) will begin the game anew with the following changes:
- Player level, stats, health, Affinity, and items are carried over from previous play-throughs.
- Enemy levels DO NOT increase; difficulty is not changed in any way.
- A New Game + starts in the same town and similar things happen with the story.
- All player items carry over; they can be retrieved at any inn.
- There is a rift stone on the beach in Cassardis which takes you directly to the Ur-Dragon fight.
- Portcrystals are available at The Black Cat for purchase, allowing players to place multiple portals around the game world.
- All previously deployed Portcrystals are still deployed and active, but however, they are only usable upon reaching gran soren in your NG+ play through.
- Shops keep whatever stock they had before you go into a new game (you still have to get to the correct stage to unlock things you missed in your first play-through).
- A few new quests appear at quest boards, offering substantial gold rewards.
- Explored areas of the Map are retained.
- BE WARNED: There is no going back! Once you enter NG+, you can not do any of the Everfall trials until you reach that point in the game again! You can back up your Dragon's Dogma save file onto an External hard drive or flash drive before starting NG+, but the quest lines, NPCs, rewards, enemies, and difficulty are (mostly) the EXACT SAME. So unless you plan to rush through the game a second time to reach the Everfall trials again, it may be best to hold off on starting NG+.
Note: You can start New Game+ (NG+) an infinite number of times. Meaning completing the first NG+ will lead to NG++, and so on. The player can see how many times they finished the game at the History menu.
To start a New Game +, you will need to complete the quest Fathom Deep.
1. Get all 20 Wakestones
2. Talk to Quince, the NPC that wants said Wakestones
3. Jump in giant gaping portal at the bottom of the Everfall
4. Go through cutscenes
5. Attack the Seneschal
6. Cutscene
7. Once again attack him
8. Another cutscene
9. Go down the path with multiple people and slaughter them (or you can just run past all of them)
10. Fight Savan and his pawn (Note that in playthrough past NG+, you will fight random Arisens that have defeated Savan.)
11. After defeated, Savan will give you the Godsbane Blade to use against him.
12. Ask him questions (optional) then stab him.
13. Sit on the throne and "live as the Seneschal"
14. After you sit on the throne, you'll be an invisible Seneschal in your home village. Simply leave the village via front gate to return to the throne room.
15. Now take out Godsbane in the throne room and stab yourself
16. After the ending and credits, save your game when prompted
17. Go to Load Game and follow the instructions
WARNING: Be sure to choose "Load Game". DO NOT choose "New Game", otherwise all your work and progress will be deleted and a brand new game would be started.

Business card cases
Part of rounding out the corporate package is finding a reliable business card holder. To some it's another opportunity to sport a flashy accessory, but it also has a pretty practical purpose. When someone hands you their card, it's much more professional, and even respectful, to place it properly into a protective holder instead of straight into the pocket. Not to mention, nobody likes handing out their own crumpled cards.
But there's no need to waste hundreds on high end designers in order to impress. Consider something different from the commonplace metals.

Hi guys!
I've already downloaded and of course will be reviewing. Already listened upto and including Stay. I only saw one audio source on the show -
Sorry! Typing for the first time using the mobile site and pressed "done" by accident! I'll pick up mid-sentence:
...page and it is pretty good quality so I'd recommend to download that one! -
p.s. Love the fact there's mobile site now! -
I´m in . -
I m a little late ....
And you people ?
Are we gonna take a week more ? -
This is review week Pato, have until 4th March -
ok , i was lost ....
So Nashville we re coming !! -
Here is mine:
Perfomance 4.5
Maybe a 4.25 stars but the special moment give a little plus
1-Even better 9.5/10
2- The Fly 9/10
3-Mysterious ways 9/10
4- Until the end... 8.5/10
5-I will follow 8/10
6- Boots 9/10 some problems, but very good anyway
7- I still haven t found 8.5/10
8- Wanderer 9.5/10
9-Stay 8.5/10
10- Beatiful day 9/10
11- Elevation 8.5/10
12- Pride 8/10
13- Miss Sarajevo 8/10
14- Zooropa 10/10
15- City of blinding lights 9/10
16- Vertigo 9/10 some problems at the start

26- All i want is you 9.5/10 maybe a 8.5 perfomance but a really special moment
Audience 3.5
a bit shy , but good
Sound 4.5
Very good , close to excellent
Overall 4.5
Very good show . A bit up from the average performances .
They had few problems in some songs but nothing terrible . The Wanderer was a great moment , Bono imitating Johnny Cash was really funny . Probably the best of the night is the exciting version of All i want is you . The blind man telling that he was nervous ... really emotional
Highlights: Even better ....
Mysterious ways
The Wanderer ( more than snippet)
Hold me thrill me ....
All i want is you -
Right, couple of days early...
Performance 4 stars.
Good performance, especially as it is towards the end of a tour. I think the band were being carried on a wave from Glastonbury. Adam seems to be having a particularly good night.
There is a great snippet (almost full song) of The Wanderer, and getting someone up on stage for All I Want Is You is also good.
Standouts for me are Even Better, Zooropa and Hold Me, Thrill Me, just superb.
Audience 4 stars
Getting involved and enjoying it.
Sound 5 stars
For an audience recording I really think this is brilliant. Very clear, almost soundboard like quality. Congratulations to the taper!
Overall 4 stars
Give this boot a listen for the opening 6 songs, Zooropa, HMTMKMKM and possible Moment of Surrender.
However, I do think that Elevation, Still Haven't Found, Miss Sarajevo and WOWY all sounded quite tired.
Looking forward to the next round! -
I'll post mine tomorrow -
Right guys, a disappointing round last time. I'm guilty of not submitting a review but I definitely intend to soon. In the meantime, we have a new show chosen and to make up for the lateness of posting, there is an extended time deadline.
emiel has chosen us a relatively obscure War show, only 287 downloads to date. Solid setlist, 4* audio - what more could we ask for? Let's roll!

Love is Not Abuse
Tuesday, August 16, 2011
Did you know that 1 in 3 teens who have been in a relationship report actual sexual abuse, physical abuse, or threats of physical abuse by a partner.
Love Is Not Abuse is committed to stopping teen dating abuse before it happens by providing educational tools, info on teen dating abuse warning signs and where to get help.
The new iPhone app for Love is Not Abuse is now available. It's designed to teach parents about the dangers of teen dating abuse in a very real way. The app provides a dramatic demonstration of how technology can be used to commit abuse. Over the course of the experience, text messages, emails and phone calls are received real-time, mimicking the controlling, abusive behaviors teens might face in their relationships. The impact is immediate and important: empowering parents to talk to their kids.
The app also includes facts on dating abuse, warning signs, tips on how to talk to teens, and immediate, concrete steps to take if they suspect their child is involved in an abusive relationship.

Camera Corner opened its doors more than a half-century ago, starting with just 800 sq. ft. and two employees, supplementing its growing audio-visual services with greeting-card sales. Today, the third-generation business has expanded to nearly 30,000 sq. ft. and bustles with more than 100 employees ready to handle technological snafus, restore and enlarge photographs, and rent out projector screens for pre-vacation family briefings. The knowledgeable IT workers—who count ten Apple-certified specialists among their ranks—equip clients with computers and technology from all major brands, including products such as the iPad and iPhone, and sweep in to rescue data after crashes or fix keyboards after soda spills. Their photo and video specialists outfit shutterbugs and cinephiles with digital cameras and repair cracked lenses for manufactures such as Sony, Kodak, Canon, and Panasonic. The staff can even help safely dispose of used and broken equipment, collecting old computers, TVs, circuit boards, and cameras for transport to a hazardous waste facility, to ensure old technology doesn't wind up in landfills or hitchhike its way back home.
Celebrating 10 years in business in 2012, Countryside Catering & Cafe conquers hunger with homemade dishes crafted from fresh ingredients. The family-run operation doles out skillets, burgers, and daily specials from within a cozy café setting, and also feeds social gatherings big or small with full-service catering options, as well as with its mobile concession stand.
Glossy photo strips shoot endlessly from the printers of YoloBooth's memory factories, providing guests with fun keepsakes of weddings and parties. Unlimited numbers of 4"x6" prints freeze friendly poses in color or black and white, accompanied by optional customizations such as company logos, monograms, or digital muttonchops. Props such as hats, glasses, and scarves liven up shots with family and friends, whereas photo albums allow guests to leave their pictures and personalized greetings for the host. A friendly attendant delivers and sets up the booth, then sticks around for the entire event, helping guests operate the booth and ensuring that the camera's lens cap is off.
Before looking through the camera lens, the expert photographers at Picture People spend time getting to know their subjects and establishing a strategy for conveying their personalities in print. Then, film-ready clients pose in the bright camera room, airing teeth amid colorful backdrops and creative props. Following snapshots, subjects make their way to the selection station to choose their favorite poses from their session, which may be treated with sepia tones, color accents, and decorative borders to suit any wall, wallet, wallpaper pattern, or trophy walleye.
Picture People encourages subjects to arrive 15 minutes early to the shoot and offers a variety of creative tips to help enhance mantel-dominating final results. The studio ensures satisfaction with a 100% guarantee on finished products.

The Tanzania International Petroleum Reserves Limited (TIPER), formerly known as Tanzania Italian Petroleum Refinery plans to invest US D16 million (about TSH 25.6bn/-) to double its storage capacity to 300,000 cubic metres from its current operational capacity of 147,000, m3, in the next five years.
In an official statement issued over the weekend, TIPER Managing Director, Daniel Belair, said the investment comes in addition to a massive rehabilitation started several years ago at a cost of USD 14 million (about 22.4bn/-).
The petroleum storage firm is jointly owned by government of Tanzania and Oryx Oil and Gas (OOG), a Swiss company, each with a 50 per cent stake.
It is open to all oil companies, national and international, who want to store products. TIPER's tariffs are public and regularly reviewed by its Board of Directors, Belair said, adding: "At present, with 147,000 cubic meters, the firm has the largest storage capacity in Tanzania and this will be increased to 300,000 by 2015," Belair said.
He said a government institution had also shown keen interest to store the National Strategic Petroleum Reserves at TIPER.
"The total capacity at our facility is spread out in 30 calibrated tanks varying from 2,000 to 14,500 cubic meters. These tanks will soon be electronically gauged and all movements will be accessible in real time from computer screens at TIPER, but also at the offices of the Government's TRA located within TIPER itself," he explained.
The facility is used for the storage of petroleum products namely diesel, gasoline (petrol) as well as kerosene and heavy furnace oil (HFO).
In the new expansion investment, two tanks with a capacity of 36,600 cubic meters will be added in the first quarter of 2013.
"Works already started in January, this year. At completion of this stage, the total capacity will reach 220,200 cubic meters," he said.
He said TIPER board of directors has also approved a budget of USD 5 million to lay down a new set of four pipes between Kigamboni and Kurasini to improve pumping rates towards oil marketing depots mostly situated on the Kurasini side.
"This project also includes a new manifold and pumping station. These new pipes will be an essential element to suppress the various bottlenecks and better cater for current and future needs. This project will be realised within the next 12 months," he explained.
Belair said his company strongly welcomes the idea of licensing petroleum activity and more specifically to all petroleum terminals, saying it would ensure greater petroleum products' integrity in the market.
Many stakeholders in the industry had expressed doubts over the practicality of SBM and bulk procurement system in absence of adequate storage facilities. However, with improvements planned by TIPER, the authorities will now have at their full disposal a modern and efficient facility capable of handling both daily necessities of any oil marketing company and also the government's legitimate requirements for strategic storage, he said.

San Francisco Weighs Restrictions on 'Formula' Businesses

I just found this post on HN:
It may be pretty hard to compare US and foreign offers. For instance, in France, you'd be earning 36000 euros in cash --what's landing on your account --, however it would actually be nearly 48000 euros with charges (that's what you're taxed for): social security, retirement, etc. Then the company will actually pay some 20000 more euros in other salary charges. That means that 36000 euros in cash in France translate to (36000 (cash) + 32000 (charges)) * 1.30 = about US$ 90000 ..
I'm curious to know what these other salary charges are if taxes, social security and pension are already included in the €12k (in this example). Any idea?

Dressage dream turns out simply grand in Maple Park
MAPLE PARK – Ginna Frantz was in her mid-50s when she decided to leave a successful career in public relations and go after her childhood dream. That was about 10 years ago.
She recalled that when she was 8 years old, she thought "someday I'd be a great horse lady." She decided to make that a reality.
"All my friends said, 'Are you crazy? Why don't you just take it easy and stop pushing yourself?' " she said. "But what am I going to do?"

ELLINGTON, Conn. (May 21, 2013) - The team of Hop Meadow C.C. including Mark Amoroso, Tim Willerton, and Kevin Foster, led by Assistant PGA Professional and Spring Stroke Play Champion, Kyle Bilodeau, won the TaylorMade-adidas Pro-Am, part of the Mohegan Sun Pro-Am Series, at Ellington Ridge with a five-under-par, 139. PGA Professional, Dave Dell, led his team from Springfield C.C. to a second place finish at four-under-par, 140.
In the individual professional competition, Paul Brown of Southington C.C. and Jordan Gosler of Manchester C.C. shot even-par, 72 to take the first place honors. Bilodeau finished in sole third place with a one-over-par, 73.
The TaylorMade-adidas Pro-Am would not be possible without the presenting sponsor, TaylorMade adidas Golf, title sponsor, Mohegan Sun, and supporting sponsor, E-Z-GO.
BLOOMFIELD, Conn. (May 16, 2013) - The team of John Aylsworth of COBRA PUMA GOLF, Ray Irvin of PGA Preferred Golf Course Insurance/Bouvier Insurance, Frank Carta of Madision C.C., and host PGA Professional, Howie Friday, fired a 12-under-par, 132, to win the Sales Representative-Professional Invitational Tournament (S.P.I.T.) at Tumble Brook Country Club today. Warm weather made for an enjoyable day that was all topped of with a spectacular reception and dinner under the direction of Executive Chef, Rob Vastano, and his staff. A big thank you also to head superintendent, Cindy Johnson, for immaculate course conditions.
Two teams tied for second place at 11-under-par, 133. The first included Patrick Aldrich, Kevin Lynch, Chris Thomas, and Jeff Palmer. The second was comprized of Bob Kay, Marty Burke, Mike O'Grady, Brendan Dlouhy.
The S.P.I.T. would not be possible without the dedication of our sales representatives serving PGA Professionals of Connecticut and Western Massachusetts as well as the Connecticut Section PGA Professionals themselves.
ROCKY HILL, Conn. (May 14, 2013) – The Connecticut Section PGA Golf Foundation, Travelers Championship, and PGA TOUR, and have teamed up again this year to bring a PGA TOUR Player to Stanley Golf Course in New Britian, Conn. for a PGA TOUR Junior Clinic and autograph session on Wednesday, June 19, at 4:00 PM. Stanley G.C. was selected by the Connecticut Section PGA Golf Foundation to host this FREE clinic and Head PGA Professional, Kyle Hedstrom, is looking forward to the day.
"This is now our fourth year hosting a PGA TOUR Junior Clinic," says Hedstrom. "We were one of the original facilities to host and we've been lucky enough to be chosen each year among other great clubs. It's an honor to be a part of this great program that is supported by the Connecticut Section PGA Golf Foundation."
AMHERST, Mass. (May 13, 2013) – "It hasn't even sank in yet," says Kyle Bilodeau of Hop Meadow Country Club, following a three-under-par, 141, to capture his first Spring PGA Stroke Play title and snag a spot in the 2013 Travelers Championship, June 20-23. "I shot 70 this morning and I putted well. I've been working with my Head PGA Pro, Jason [Waters] on my putting… and I got on some good greens today and it finally started clicking."
Ironically enough, Bilodeau was paired with defending champion, Ian Marshall of Watertown Golf Club, and he expected a good match. "I had a blast out there playing with Ian," says Bilodeau. "When we went out on the second 18, I birdied the first and Ian birdied the second. I'm thinking 'Wow, we're going to have a shootout here' but I ended up pulling away in the end."

American Hard Maple Blocks - "the real deal"
The INF Kits are our small kits, but at 3 children aren't really ready to build very sophisticated things. At this age, children inspect the individual pieces, ponder the shapes and fit them together, and like to show them to other people or bang them together. What is important is for children to learn some of the names of the shapes, and eventually, to learn to stack one piece on top another (an important milestone). This set will be adequate for 6 to 9 months, but after that will need to be supplemented by more pieces. Our blocks are too large to pose a choking hazard and are laboratory tested to satisfy the CPSC rules for children over the age of three. The blocks are sanded maple, and children can gum them without fear of chemical finishes or oils.
Ages 3+

I need a bit of help
I've been away from the site for a while (volunteering to help folks with their family research at our local senior center)
Recently I've been rechecking research on my own family and have gotten stuck with my great grandfather's military record at the Cosenza archives.
The image is too small to enlarge and I'm not all familiar with what the record may state.
Could someone take a look and see if they can figure out his dates of service? (and anything else that can be read)
He enlisted 4 Oct 1894.
I have his marriage record for 19 Mar 1896 - less than two years later?
Thank you!

Hearings Continue On Voter Identifications
By Marco Grajeda
Las Cruces, NM – Last Monday State District Judge Robert Thompson issued a temporary order requiring first time voters to present a form of identification, if they registered outside a County Clerks Office. His Decision is based on a law ratified on 2003, and signed by Governor Richardson. Democrats say the law signed last year only mentioned new voters who registered via mail. Reporter Marco Grajeda has the story.

Hello E! Big thanks for the welcome to Book Blogs. I've been perusing your site and your blog and now have more additions to my 'to be read' mountain. Your blog is awesome.
Would love if you would take a look at my blog, I'm just getting started and it's nowhere near as great as yours!
Britt :)
Hi E.!
Thank you so much for the warm welcome to Book Blogs. I am now following you. I will make a point of checking out that sampler. I am a HUGE zombie and horror genre fan. I am actually featuring zombie month on our blog! Featuring 4 zombie books for review. I may have to do another zombie theme soon, and it would be kind of cool to add one of your titles! :)
Feel free to check us out and look around. http://bookluvrshaven.blogspot.ca/
PS - Those 3rd grader pictures were priceless.
Haha, I mean who's to argue with that. By the way, cool blog! I'm honestly interested in the launch of your new Hollywood series. I've always been a fan of paranormal/suspenseful novels. So I will definitely check that out! Keep me posted.
Hi E,
Thanks for the welcome, I write YA fantasy, I will check out your blog very soon,
thanks again
Thank you for the warm welcome, E.
I'm slowly finding my way around Book Blogs, and learning how it works, and I'll be checking out everyone's blogs as quickly as I can :)
Hello E.
Thanks for the welcome to Book Blogs.
Just stopped by your blog, and can I just say your "Never Slow Dance With A Zombie" looks amazing!! Definitely on my to read list.
I'm just getting started with blogging, but I really appreciate it if you stopped by. Promise it's going to be once I settle into relax blogger mode :D
Thank You!!
Thanks, I did check out your site. Your stuff looks really interesting. The freaky stuff I would have craved, it's crazy how only two authors used to write about teens, lust and freaks when I was younger now people have options. It is a great thing.
Thanks for the warm welcome. I write contemporary romance, usually with a gothic feel and often with a touch of fantasy or sci-fi. No vampires or shape-shifters, though, I leave those to other authors. I'll visit your blog ASAP.

I delighted that you checked out my blog :) It's always a pleasure to have a writer's opinion.
Hi E,
What a great welcome from All!
I'll make the rounds on the blogs, YA paranormal sounds fun.
i really feel welcome around here! sure,i'll check out your books..i write too and my current writing is about angels too! i'm thrilled to part of thi community..i will make sure i check out your book :)
Thanks for your welcome message. I took a look at your blog - it looks great! Your books look great too.
Kind regards,
Thanks for the comment! Great blog!
Sigh, "Write" should have been "right." I am not a good self-editor apparently.
:) That's okay. You're write, a writer is a writer. I just wanted to clarify. I can't write YA, and I respect those that can. It's a tough genre. Plus, I can't resist the urge to write adult content in there.
I write adult fiction actually, but thanks for the welcome. My work does have a lot of humor though, dark, but funny.
Thank you for the welcome but I write just fanfiction currently. I've been an active book blogger for a couple of months now.
Thanks for the welcome. I'm following your blog.

Dead space 2 has finally arrived but does it live up to the hype and horror of the first one?
I could barely even play Fear 1 with out turning all the lights in my room on or atleast having some one with me. I dont play horror games often so im Not used to things popping out of corners or Dead bodies getting up and stabing you in the face.
Theres plenty of that in Visceral Games newest title dead space 2. Dead space 2 is the sequel to the scifi survival horror game dead space 1 , a game that stood out for its story,horror,and grussom kills/deaths.All of this still exists in dead space 2 and its better then ever. There is plenty new content in dead space 2 like new weapons bigger scarier monsters and a new setting.
Dead space 2 takes place in the sprawl an orbiting space station built on what used to be Saturn's moon Titan, before the planet mining became so intensive that only a sliver of rock is left as the city's foundation. The atmosphere of this settings adds to the suspence and horror of the game.In dead space 2 isac beleaves he has a solutin to the necromorph outbreak , isac desides to put away hes troubled past and decend into this deathly station. the story is pretty but what dead space 2 has over its predessor is the lack of backtracking.
Im sure most of you remember how you had to come back down the same hallway to turn on a switch or find a battery. You still need to do some of these tasks but you wont find your self retracing your steps down the same elevater or hallway over and over gain. The development team did a great job in setting the mood and points of action for the game this makes the game enjoyable and entertaining unlike some other horror games witch made you whant to fall asleep from all the random walking around or trying to find that one door that took you to the next check point. The game had me attached the whole time with perfect scares and interesting plots.
The art desing for the game is horrifying but beutifull. Isacs suit is well designed and with each upgrade it just looks better and better , the necromorph are also well designed with their discusting faces torn boddies and broken limbs. The sprawl may not be a nice place to spend a space vacation in but it sure looks nice with nicely designed walls to how all the buildings look when flying down to them.
Not much has changed since the first dead space, veterans should feel right at home with the botton scheme. There are some improvements like the way you can recharge your stasis or health by pressing a button,the better melee system, or isacs improved rocket boots. Besides this nothings really changed from the first game. The game feels smooth with a cinematic feel to it due to the perfect placement of enemies,interactions,and story peaks.
Dead space 2 has a couple of features to keep th eplayer interested and not making them sell the game after a playtrough. For one thing players may whant to replay the game on a harder difficulty to unlock some achivements/trophys and who knows maybe theres a secret ending waiting for you at the end if you beat the game on the hardest difficulty.
There is also a multiplayer component to the game that should keep players bussy for some time after completing the story.The multiplayer isnt anything special but it isnt bad either,its pretty fun if you play with some cool people or friends it sorta feels like multiplayer in left for dead.There are two teams the humans and the necromorph and the objective is bassicaly for the humans to survive and for the necramorph to kill them.
[over all]
Dead space 2 is and amazing sequal that lives up to its predessor giving players an awsome horror game unlike some other sequals i know cough cough re5 witch arent even scary in any way. Sure there might be some some slack here and there but you can over look this and still enjoy the game. I really do recomend picking this tittle up even if your new to dead space you wont regret it and hey you might relive child memories by peen your pants.
Rating - 4.5/5

Post-Insanity Wrapup, Part 1
- June 25th, 2012
- By sycobuny
- Write comment
The pictures in this post are sometimes sideways. I think this has to do with the metadata attached to the image and certain browsers' inability to process it. I'll work on fixing it but for now just kinda tilt your head a bit.
Well, I stated in my last post that I wouldn't have much time for sleep, and it wound up being pretty close to accurate. As it turns out, Saturday I was able to sleep in just a little bit. But I'm getting ahead of myself.
Thursday was my last day of work before the four-day weekend started. It was a pretty decent day, and at the end of it I went to Baltimore Perl Mongers. I was debating not going due to the trip, but I'm glad I did. We had our largest turnout yet, in spite of having no planned talks. We mostly chatted about what everybody did at work and played back a few YAPC memories. Afterwards, my fiancé Larry drove downtown to join Dawn and myself and we hit up a nearby Sushi bar. It was pretty nice although I'd already filled up on pizza so there wasn't much desire on my part to eat anything.
Afterwards, Eric's cats needed some care before we left. I normally provide catsitting services when he goes back to St. Louis, but since I was following him for a few days, that needed doing as late before I left as I could manage. After finally getting home, I packed and crashed for a few hours before flying out. That's when things finally got rolling.
After I landed in St. Louis (the flight was a flight, nothing special so not worth talking about much), I headed over to meet Terri Langerak to rent her harp. She was very nice and really laid back, and I'm sorry we didn't get to spend more time talking to her, but unfortunately both Larry and I were very hungry and pretty close to just falling asleep from our short night before, and I still had many errands to run. I will say, though, Terri played a couple tunes, one of which she wrote, and it was awesome. I hear tell she some recorded tracks available for purchase and I shall have to find those (I'll post it in a comment if/when I do). But we got the harp and headed to the hotel in downtown St. Louis.
After grabbing some food at the hotel (Crowne Plaza Riverfront, it's pretty awesome), and my taking a few winks, I ran up to pick up my tuxedo at Memory Lane in East Alton, IL. On reflection, food at the hotel was probably not our best idea. It took forever for the food to come out, even though when it did it was very good. If we hadn't been so hungry and not on a very tight schedule, I don't think I would have minded the wait so much. Still, I was, on both counts, and so I minded. Whatever, water under the bridge.
Then, tragedy struck! The place was closed before I got there. After swearing a blue streak, I realized there may still be hope. I'd been afraid they were closed on Saturdays, but they weren't! So, I ran to drop off a portion of the money necessary for pickup of the tux at Eric's mother's place. He and Kristin (his now wife) were still running around getting final details hammered out, so I just sat and talked with his mother for a while. In spite of this being the first time I'd met her in real life (and only once having talked to her before, on IRC), she was very pleasant and willing to talk. I even almost got to see some baby pictures out of the deal but unfortunately they were in a drawer somewhere she couldn't quite remember.
As I was driving out of town, and swinging by a funny little store called Steve's Antiques that Eric had long ago told me about, I was called and told to swing around and pick up Eric and another friend of ours, Andrew Herbig, as they were stuck without a ride since the best man was hung up on a job. So, I took a few pics and hightailed it back to the house. There, I finally met Andrew (we'd previously only talked online). As we drove back to St. Louis, Eric pointed out many landmarks I'd only ever heard about. Sadly, we bypassed the place where he'd proposed as it was apparently a significant drive out of the way and quite a walk. Still, it was good to see some of the other places I'd heard so much about.
After we all three made our way back to the hotel, I grabbed a quick shower and we hit up Mike Shannon's Steakhouse. The food was pretty much amazing, though I didn't have much of, say, the gigantic appetizer that Justin ordered.
I did, however, partake of the quite-amazing Johnnie Walker Blue that was ordered for the table at the end of the evening. Never thought I'd actually have any of the stuff, it's usually too rich for my blood (and my wallet). But that right there is a bucket list item successfully checked.
On the way out of the bar, we passed by several horse and carriages, but we really wanted to snag this beast which was parked out front.
We hit up more bars, and I'm pretty sure there's no photographic evidence that can be used to incriminate anybody. Actually, it was pretty tame, just plenty of drinks all around. Thank god I limited myself, I don't think I would have wanted to be hungover for the big day.
Speaking of, it was at a house by a beautiful lake owned (currently) by Eric's grandparents' siblings, but soon to be sold to his cousins. It was way far out into the country north of East Alton, and was very quiet and peaceful. Plus, there's that lake!
The ceremony went very well – it got started behind schedule but I don't think it'd be a proper wedding if it got started on time. They did the mixing of the sand, and I gotta say, that particular demonstration is growing on me. Eric and Kristin also read the vows they wrote out, which I gotta give them credit for, I think it's the first time I've heard someone getting married actually say their vows such that people could hear them. Usually peoples' nerves are far too frayed to do much more than mumble them. They were also very heartfelt and fit in nicely with the ceremony.
I had another entire day in St. Louis, but I'm about to pack up and travel for my trip back home, so I'll have to fill in the rest of the details of my trip later.

preaching to the converted !
i drove to newcastle last week to pick up the Street Triple R, saw it on bikesales & i already had my R1 for sale but after seeing this one i went & sold the R1 to a dealer cheap so i could snap up this streety, it is a 2010 model built late '09, got full Arrow exhaust & tune uploaded by dealer, bellypan, seat cowl, headlight fairing, tail tidy, only 5400 kays on it !!
has a brand new pirelli diablo rosso on the rear & had a fukd original Dunlop on the front so today i got a rosso II on the front & it feels so much better !! set up the front sag & just bought a C spanner to do the rear today , adjusted all rebound / comps as per the book for Standard & then today went 1 click in on all adjusters which made it even better. well i thought the R1 handled well, after riding the triumph today & i am sure i would be quicker on it than the R1, the handling of these things is truly amazing !! so much feel for what bike is doing & massive lean angle & corner speed !! i have a mate who is laughing at me for selling "such a fast bike to get a little bike" , well i cant wait to embarrass him & his 2012 ZX10R ninja up in the hills !! i'll try not to laugh to hard as i wait for him at the top of springbrook hahaha !! the 675 triple has the perfect amount of grunt, able to get on the power hard in the corner power out & 2nd & 3rd gear pull plenty hard enough for the tight twistys i ride, full throttle most of the time by the time i exit a corner but thats is perfect i reckon, no need to have 180HP but only use 1/4 throttle, not to mention the sounds the triple makes !! induction, exhaust, that triple whistle, beautiful !! also great for wheelies ! 1st gear all the way to limiter, 2nd & 3rd need a bit of a rise in the road ive found but slow speed clutch ups in first carry nice & high till its hits the limiter just perfect !!! sorry for such a big write up let me know if its over the top, just excited about this bike !! going to put on a quickshifter, steering damper, shorty levers & thats about it, the bike has all the other mods i wanted to do to one which is why i jumped on it & drove 1400 kays to get it, plus my favourite colour, anyway i am one happy triumph rider, been on it all day & cant wait till 2moro to do it all again !! cheers chinski |

Congrats - lovely bike.
The first STR I ever ride was like yours, right down to the colour and accessories. It was a dealer demonstrator. Straight away from the kerb, I reckon my first 20 metres on that bike were on the rear wheel. Easy. Future classic. And round headlights rule! O.B |

Nice one...I'd say stick with clutchless shifts (so easy) before plumping for quickshifter (which can't be turned off)...definitely plenty of punch for the street :)

That's a great looking bike! Glad you're so happy with your "downgrade." When I bought mine, I was in a position financially to get pretty much any bike I wanted. Seemed an easy decision to go with the ST3.
Have fun and keep the rubber side down. Not sure why you'd want to turn off the quickshifter. I had it put on before I picked it up from the dealer and have never had any desire to have it turned off. |

I'm not sure why either since I don't have one However the test rider in BIKE's comparison ride b/w the street R and MV's new 675 mentioned they'd like the option to turn it off due to accidental shifts...obviously putting their hoof in the wrong place

Update: Little Rock Crews Planning Weekend Garbage Pickup
By: KARK 4 News
Updated: December 29, 2012
Little Rock/s Solid Waste crews continue to pick up residential trash and will assign extra staff to each truck to pick up residential trash that is placed on the curb, if the trash cart is too full, according to a news release from the city of Little Rock.
Solid waste crews expect all routes to be caught up by Saturday.
Solid Waste crews will run Monday's routes on Monday.
With January 1, being a holiday, Solid Waste crews will operate on the holiday pick-up schedule next week. With the exception of Monday, all routes will be run one day late.
Friday, 4:30 p.m. Update:
Little Rock's solid waste crews report that Tuesday & Wednesday routes were collected on Thursday (12/27); however, only about 20% of the individuals on those routes placed their carts at the curb. On Friday, (12/28), Thursday routes were collected and once they were completed, staff returned to re-run the Tuesday and Wednesday routes. On Saturday, the Friday routes will be collected, and once again upon completion, staff will re-run the Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday routes to ensure that all garbage has been collected Staff reports that there are several North-sloping streets with large amounts of shade that they have not been able to access and that any streets with wires in the road or low-hanging limbs are skipped and placed on a list for pick-up when conditions improve. As of Friday, there were thirty-two (32) trucks in operation.
On Friday, Waste Management began collecting the Thursday recycling routes and if they complete the route, they will look at going back at picking up the Tuesday and Wednesday routes.
Friday, 6:00 a.m. Update:
The City of Little Rock released the following message concerning trash pick up:
"City garbage pick-up resumed today at 11:00 AM and City crews began picking up the Tuesday routes. If City crews encounter any hazardous routes, the locations will be added to a list and picked up when conditions improve. Crews will work through the weekend to ensure that all trash is picked up.
Waste Management is in the process of assessing the situation to determine when they will resume recycling pick-up."
Original Story:
The City of Little Rock's Public Works Department will be picking up trash over the next few days because of the snow storm.
Residents are asked to put their trash carts out one day later than their regular day.
Crews will be working overtime and through the weekend to get it all picked up.
Some carts may be on the curb for a couple of days before they are emptied.
