* Prices may differ from that shown
When we first moved into our flat we were quite naiive and stuck it out with having BT for our homephone and line rental provider. However, when one month they sent me an intense bill for over £200 I realised they were having me over and realised it was definitely time to change providers for somewhere cheaper. It took a while for the transition but it ended up with us joining Tesco Homephone. At first I noticed that although we were given a new phone number the dial tone would ring but the phone would not actually make any noise. Since the handset we had previously was really old I decided to have a scout around on amazon for a good deal. As soon as I spotted this BT Graphite 2100 handset for a decent £15 it went straight into the basket - £15 worth of amazon vouchers well spent!
The phone arrived in a nice little box, with a handset, a base and all the requisite plug etc to insert into the wall for the phone line and also to plug into the socket. Inside the box was also a leaflet of instructions but being a person who is not too fussed I just skimmed through this and was raring to go! The phone requires 2 AA batteries which was nicely supplied in the box so popping these into the back of the phone it was practically set up and ready to use immediately.
The phone is actually really easy to use and whilst being really cheap it looks sleek and more expensive than it actually is. It comes in black with solid sturdy buttons which are really easy to use. The screen is blue black lit which only comes up when the phone is in use (i.e. ringing or dialling an outgoing call etc) and looks really nice. It doesn't feel bulky but is quite light, my only thing is it looks rather like a remote control and with my carelessness I have on more than one occasion picked it up and pointed it at the TV by mistake!
The phone has all the usual features like a phone book with a capacity of 50 numbers so this is easy for making frequent calls to friends and family and not having to dial it each time but can do so really quickly via your fingertips. I found this straightforward to set up, and to use it is simple as just press the button with a picture of an open book on it and then either press the letter button for the person's name or scroll down the list with the arrow buttons.
There is also the speaker phone which is good for those annoying moments when I am calling an 0800/0845 number and I am put on hold indefinitely and I have things to do around the house haha! The phone also has volume control which is good for turning up the sound where the other side of the phone is really quiet and it's hard to hear.
In terms of the battery life it's quite hard to judge as if I am honest I rarely use my homephone and rely mainly on my mobile. Once I have used it I make a conscious effort to place it straight back onto the base and have had no problems with it dying. My other half is usually the culprit for leaving the phone off the base, but personally the longest I have been on it is an hour or so and the phone lasted really well and didn't bleep that it needed charging so for me this is good! In addition to this the batteries that were supplied with the phone lasted a good 8 months before even they needed replacing so this seemed excellent value too!
In terms of reception I have had absolutely no problems with the sound clarity in phone conversations so for £15 this phone has been brilliant. The range is also good as I can go all over the house and roam with no signal lost (albeit that our flat isn't all THAT big) so it has served us well.
Overall this phone has been brilliant and we have loved using it! It does the basic job that we need which really is just to make the odd phone call and to give us a working line rental so we can have broadband wireless internet lol! It is definitely worth the mere £15 (although watch out as prices on Amazon fluctuate!) so I would definitely recommend it.
our old phones finally died a few weeks ago so needed to buy some new ones (not that we ever really use the "home phone") however after many searches and reading many reviews i decided on these due to the amount of positive comments and feedback compared to some other phones. we brought the set of three as we have one up stairs, one in the hall and one in the lounge. one of the good things about BT phones is that you have the option to buy either one, two, three or sometime five in a set, so suitable for anyone with any type of need or home. One of the main things that drew me to this phone is that it has an energy efficiant power supply, so will use around half the amount of energy that other BT phones would use, saving you money on your electric bill! i brought the three pack from Argos for £49.99 which i felt was very reasonable for a pack with 3 phones. (this was on offer as usually £59.99)
The phones feel very light and are very easy to hold, they are quite long and thin which makes it very easy to grip and hold when having a conversation, and doesnt start to hurt your hand after being on the phone for ages like i have found with some phones. Argos only had the black style available but i have seen on other sites that they are alos available in silver. i felt the black ones look very modern and stylish and fitted in well with a modern home.
There are many useful settings on this phone, i especially like the phone book option where you can add all your contacts to make it easier when needing to contact someone, you no longer have to search for your phone book or find your mobile to get the number. it is very simple to use by just pressing the phonebook picture button and scrolling through to find the person you want to contact. i also really like the internal call feature, so you can call another phone within the house, this is especially useful if you have a large house, you can use the phone downstiars to call the phone upstairs and speak to your partner / child etc rather than shouting through the house. this is also helpful for when you answer the phone downstairs and you want to transfer the call to the person upstiars.
There are also other features such as redial, speak phone, call log, hold and conference calls but we tend not to use these ones.
These phones are great and the volume and sound are brilliant, you also have volume control to either turn up or down if the person on the other end is too loud or too quiet.
with many phones i have experience the battery life on them is never very good and you usually start to find leaving the phones off of the base for a few hours will run the phone right down, however so far with these phones i have found the battery life is much better than i had expected them to be and seem to last a very long time.
The only down side is that ours did not come with an answer phone however we just make the most out of 1571 instead.
overall very stylish modern looking phones, great feel to them and work very well.
Our telephones had just about worn out. We usually have two phones, one in the kitchen and one in the living room but the one in the kitchen had stopped working and changing the battery didn't do anything so we decided it was time to get some new phones.
We had a look on the Argos web site to see what they had to offer and found these BT Graphite phones on there. There are three phones in the pack although they do lots of different packs with different amounts of phones. Three was sufficient for our family, we can now have one in the living room, one in the kitchen and another upstairs in my craft room. Its no good putting it in the bedroom and my Other Half works a lot of nights so this way it suits us all and we don't need to keep running down stairs to answer the phone or take the phone up with us and then forget where it was put.
The phones have a really nice feel to them. They are quite long and skinny and rectangular in shape but the bottom on the phone has a bit more depth to it than the slimmer top.
The colour of our phones are black but you can get them in silver too. We though the black ones looked more stylish though. They feel nice in the hand and are just the right shape to hold them without getting cramp in your fingers if you are on a long call.
The phone has a phone book where you can put in your numbers and it will keep them there for you so if you want to ring someone you don't have to keep looking up people's phone numbers. You just press the button with the little book on it and then you can either press the letter button for the person's name or scroll down the list with the arrow buttons.
You can redial the last number and you can also check the numbers of who has called you which is really handy if you still don't get to the phone in time even after having them dotted around the house.
You can use the speaker phone which is well handy too, I use this a lot if I am sewing, I can carry on having a chat with whoever it is and keep on sewing at the same time. Its also good if you have two of you who want to listen in on a phone call at the same time.
The phones are easy to call each other which is good for me if I am upstairs, I can call down to my other half and he can answer the phone without me having to shout down the stairs. You can also transfer a call to another phone but I am not sure how to do that as we haven't yet had to do it.
The sound is really good, you can turn it up if you want to by pressing a button so if the caller is quiet you will be able to hear them better.
The battery life on the phones seems to be much better although this might be where they are new. We do not really need to leave them off the hook for long as we have them in the rooms we use the most but they have never run out of battery yet.
They are still selling these phones on the Argos web site and they cost £49.99 for the three black phone set. It doesn't have an answer phone on it but you can buy a set with the answer phone which would cost you more money.
I would highly recommend these phones.

The Sports Network
DATE & TIME: Saturday, January 12, 2 p.m. (et)
FACTS & STATS: Site: Trask Coliseum (5,100) -- Wilmington, North Carolina. Television: CSN-BALT, DC. Home Record: George Mason 4-2, UNCW 5-1. Away Record: George Mason 2-2, UNCW 0-9. Neutral Record: George Mason 3-2, UNCW 0-0. Conference Record: George Mason 2-1, UNCW 0-3. Series Record: George Mason leads, 40-30.
GAME NOTES: One of only two teams in the Colonial Athletic Association still without a league victory, the Seahawks of UNC Wilmington give it another shot on Saturday afternoon as they host the George Mason Patriots at Trask Coliseum.
The Seahawks, winless in three CAA outings thus far, have dropped four straight games and six of the last seven overall after bowing to James Madison on Wednesday night in a 78-50 final.
As for the Patriots, they are heading in the other direction, having won back- to-back conference bouts. Since losing to Northeastern in the league opener back on Jan. 3 by double figures, George Mason has defeated William & Mary on the road, 73-66, a week ago and crushed Old Dominion at home on Thursday night, 71-46.
The Patriots lead the all-time series, one that began back in 1982, by a count of 40-30. George Mason has ripped off nine straight victories over the Seahawks, including a 75-69 triumph in the most recent encounter last February in this building.
The last win for UNCW took place on Feb. 16, 2008 in a 75-73 final at the Patriot Center in Fairfax.
Against Old Dominion the Patriots put up a tough defensive front, holding the visitors to just eight made field goals in the first half and a mere 4-of-20 shooting after the break, making it that much easier to come away with the 25- point win. Patrick Holloway led the offense for the Patriots with a game-high 15 points off the bench, followed by Paris Bennett with 13 points on a perfect 6-of-6 shooting from the floor over 16 minutes of action. The starting five for George Mason accounted for just 13 points. One of three players to have started every game for the Patriots, Sherrod Wright leads the way with 17.1 ppg, shooting 52.0 percent from the floor and 40.0 percent behind the 3-point line, yet he is the only player scoring more than eight points per game for a team generating just 64.8 ppg.
The Seahawks couldn't really find the basket from anywhere on the floor versus James Madison earlier this week, the hosts shooting just 14-of-51 from the field, 3-of-15 beyond the arc and 19-of-31 at the free-throw line in the lopsided setback. Keith Rendleman was the lone double-digit scorer for UNCW with his 17 points, but he made just five of his 14 field goal attempts. The starting five overall connected on a combined 10-of-41 from the floor. Similar to the Patriots, UNC Wilmington has only one player scoring in double figures on a regular basis with Rendleman accounting for 15.9 ppg. Also the team leader with 10.3 rpg and 2.0 steals per contest, Rendleman is shooting 50.9 percent from the field, but just 59.8 percent at the free-throw line, the team hitting 63.9 percent at the charity stripe.
Scoring just 60.3 ppg, the Seahawks don't scare many opponents with their offense. The defense hasn't been that stout either, which makes one believe George Mason should be in line for the win in this meeting.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: George Mason 73, UNC Wilmington 57

Wings In NYC
So I might have missed it, if so, I'm sorry for what follows.
I'm surprised that after all the awesome comparison posts we've gotten so far from SE (e.g. the best soup dumplings, etc.) that we haven't gotten one for wings yet.
So, with that in mind, what are your favorite places for Buffalo style chicken wings. Two things to keep in mind, first they MUST have bones (boneless are just dry chicken tenders) and secondly are there any spots that have SUPER spicy wings (I considered the horrible taste of the phaal to be more of the challenge rather than the spice at Bricklane)? Consider suggestions for super spicy a sub category.
Talk is closed, but that doesn't mean the conversations have to stop!

- Yes, It's their process why not?
- No, explain to them and work through why the retrospective is so important.
- Maybe, if they are no longer a team then why continue with Scrum?
- Only do retrospectives once a quarter and build up a good list of things to change.
- Yes, the process will take care of itself we don't need to watch it that closely. After all, it's common sense!
Comment: Of things to watch out for and not allow this is high on my list. It boils down to this rule: If the team is not doing a retrospective then they are not doing scrum. The retrospective is where the team takes formal ownership of their process. In these situations I crack shins, and kick knee caps and generally do what is necessary to ensure they continue doing a retrospective. Without that we often see teams fall into "it's not my fault" because "x" told me to. In some cases "x" is the process that no-one owns, imagine the process that gets created by someone who decides to own it but, does not do it themselves!.
Retrospective is an external constraint that must be demanded of the team. There are many ways to run a good retrospective, ScrumMaster rise to the challenge and support your team.

The object of education is to prepare the young to educate themselves throughout their lives. ~Robert Maynard Hutchin
Welcome back everyone to a brand new year! I hope you all had a wonderful summer and are excited to start a brand new year. Whether you are an incoming freshmen, transfer student, a seasoned returner, or an eager senior (or super senior)– I hope you make the most of this year!
This year, during Saints Nation, one of the events was The Evolution of Dance. If you haven't seen it on YouTube (and I highly recommend you check it out), it is a spectacular show done by the comedian Judson Laically, where he goes through the most popular dance moves over the last 50 years within a seven minute performance. As entertaining as that was, I was also inspired by the provoking speech he about choices. He mentioned how each of us has a choice– whether that be to succeed or fail. If there is a situation in which we have some semblance of control, then we have a choice about the outcome. And for those situations in which we have no control…we are not to worry about that. For most people, especially myself, that is much easier said than done, however it's good food for thought! So decide now before things get crazy about what you want to focus on this year and what you want to get out of it. Realize you do have a choice, act on that, and see where it takes you!

Reflection on a rainy black rooftop
Image by DeliberatelyRandomThoughts
But not yet August
It's 3:30 in the afternoon
of a day past the middle of July,
but not yet August,
and dark as one might find
nearer nine at night on a summer's eve
and it's pouring rain...
(what else might it pour
and why do we say it's pouring rain?)
Some confluence of angles above
my bedroom window
channels the pouring (rain)
in a steady gush
and a roof below my window
spreads a thin black gloss:
puddles studded by rain drops
darting the dark mirror
For just a moment I wonder why
this (pouring) rain, this gushing
natural downspout soaks what ought
to be a beautiful summer day -
but just for a moment -
for the storm will pass, the pouring pause
the gush subside, the black mirror wait
to show the light of what no doubt
will best the storm and bring again
the sun the summer loves to pour on us
before the fall and winter pass again
and spring give hint of an afternoon
of another day past the middle of July,
but not yet August...

Lovely. It is odd that it is pouring rain -- when rain is a noun and a verb? It's raining pour? It's raining rain?
Shared the experience of a dark day too soon....got a chicken to bake and we are distracted by the familiar aroma of home....

Think you've got problems? Try living in a home with with beams like this!
The woman who sent me this photo says she and her husband bought the house, intending to live there for the rest of their lives. The central beam you can see in this photo runs the length of the building, with smaller beams branching off at right angles along its entire length.
After only a month of living there she says the deterioration in her health is shocking. She's had infections, and suffers headaches and memory loss. Her children have also become less well behaved. She's seriously concerned they've made a mistake.
The reason why beams are such a feng shui no-no is because they dissect the energy of a space. The sharper they are, the more acute this effect, which is known in feng shui as 'cutting chi'. Many people are sensitive enough to feel this on the top of their head when walking under beams, especially the sharper type that this house has. But the real problems start when spending extended periods of time immobile under beams, such as sitting on a sofa to watch TV, sitting at a desk to work, standing in a kitchen to cook, or lying in bed to rest or sleep. Daily prolonged exposure of this type can cause health problems in whichever part of the body is directly in line with the cutting chi. Sharp beams are also known to cause irritation, arguments, disorientation and feeling fragmented.
Low beams, such as the ones you can see here in the photo of the kitchen, accentuate these effects and can feel very oppressive. Spending time standing under them may result in feelings of frustration or hopelessness, and can even lead to depression. It will be very challenging to cook nourishing meals in this space. This is typically a situation where a family tends to live on fast food, takeaways or eating out, because unconsciously they want to use the kitchen as little as possible or avoid it altogether.
In my space clearing workshops, as part of teaching people how to perceive energies in rooms, I show them how to feel the cutting chi that emanates from the sharp corners of furniture or walls. Most people can easily sense it with their hands if they're shown how. It's very tangible indeed. And the part of your subtle body structure that is affected by chi (your etheric) feels this all the time, whether you're aware of it or not.
So what's my advice to anyone living in a house like this? If you comb through feng shui books you'll find all kinds of cures suggested, such as bamboo flutes, or images of birds, balloons or angels. The idea is that they counteract the oppressiveness of the beams by inducing an uplifting effect, but I've never found them to be very effective, and certainly not with such extensive cutting chi as in this house.
Another solution would be to hang fabric canopies over the beams, but these usually look messy, are difficult to take down and clean, and would be extremely difficult and costly to hang throughout an entire home. A small canopy can sometimes work if the beams are only in a bedroom, but a better long-term remedy would be to buy a four-poster canopy bed.
The only solution in this case would be to cover all the beams with flat panels. Or sell the house and find one that doesn't have beams, which is probably the best solution of all. In the meantime, I would recommend at least hanging canopies over sleeping areas to get some respite from the beams during the hours of the night.
I'm always very reluctant to give feng shui advice from a distance. There is so much I cannot see from just looking at photos. So before making a life-changing decision of this kind, I would strongly recommend seeking advice from a competant local feng shui consultant who can visit to make an onsite assessment. There is also another article I've written on this topic that you may like to read.

Mammary Gland Carcinoma in Dogs
What is Mammary Gland Carcinoma?
In dogs, approximately half of all mammary tumors are malignant. Mammary carcinoma is locally invasive, extending into underlying normal tissues, and has the potential to spread to other places in the body (called metastasis).
Diagnostic Testing
Diagnostic tests are recommended to determine which sites in the body are involved. These tests include:
- Complete blood count (CBC)
- Serum biochemistry panel
- Urinalysis (U/A)
- Regional lymph node evaluation
- Thoracic radiographs
- Abdominal sonogram
Treatment of mammary tumors is aimed both at local control (removing the primary tumor and minimizing the likelihood of local recurrence) and systemic control (delaying or preventing metastatic disease). The surgery of choice (lumpectomy/reasonably wide excision vs. radical mastectomy) is debatable. In general, the recommendation is to remove sufficient tissue to ensure adequately wide and histologically clean margins. In addition to surgery and depending on identification of various prognostic factors identified below, adjuvant systemic chemotherapy can be considered in an effort to delay or prevent metastasis. Based on somewhat limited reports in the literature and responses in other types of carcinomas, two drugs could be considered: doxorubicin or a platinum drug (carboplatin or cisplatin) given at 3-week intervals for a total of four-six treatments. Chemotherapy drugs work by targeting fast-growing cells; cancer cells divide faster and abnormally compared to normal cells. Because of this, chemotherapy preferentially destroys cancer and spares normal tissues. There is the potential for some normal tissues with rapid growth rates (intestinal lining, bone marrow, hair cells) to be transiently damaged by chemotherapy. However, our goal in treating cancer in animals is quality of life, so the dosages are lower than those used in people, and we do not normally see significant toxicity with chemotherapy. There is always some risk when a drug is given for the first time, and the oncologist will discuss what types of side effects may develop and what you should watch for. If the pet has no problems the first time they receive a drug, they should have no problems with subsequent treatments of that drug. If the pet experiences any side effects, we address them as needed and lower the dosage of the causative drug for future treatments to prevent recurrent problems.
Another medication to consider is piroxicam. This oral Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug (NSAID) has anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties as well as possible anti-tumor activity against carcinomas. This medication should be given with food and the pet owner instructed to watch for signs of gastrointestinal upset (vomiting, change in stool, etc.). If such signs develop, piroxicam should be discontinued for 3-5 days. Restarting of therapy can then be considered in conjunction with the stomach-protectant misoprostil.
Various prognostic factors for canine mammary tumors have been identified including:
- Tumor size: In one study, dogs with tumors >5cm in diameter had a median survival time of 40 weeks compared to 112 weeks for animals with smaller tumors following surgery.
- Histologic grade: In one study where histologic grade was adopted from a human pathologic staging system, carcinomas were divided into 4 categories. In that study, only 19% of the dogs with grade 0 (in situ or non-invasive) carcinomas had recurrence or metastasis in 2 years, compared with 60% of dogs with grade I (stromal invasion) carcinomas and 97% of dogs with grade II (angiolymphatic invasion) carcinomas. A grading scheme based on nuclear differentiation has also been reported in which dogs with poorly differentiated tumors had an increased risk of developing recurrent or metastatic carcinoma within 2 years of surgery, with an overall rate of 90% compared to 68% and 24% for dogs with moderately- or well-differentiated carcinomas, respectively. (We recommend contacting the pathologist for this information on Oreo).
- Lymph node metastasis
- Lymphoid cellular activity: Lymphocyte infiltration may indicate an antitumor response and is associated with a more favorable prognosis.

Summary: June 18, 2003:Speech by Romano Prodi, President of the European Commission. Presenting the Thessaloniki European Council (Brussels)
Ladies and gentlemen,
The European Council in Thessaloniki that begins tomorrow will tackle various matters of great urgency and importance to Europe today. The Greek Presidency of the Council has helped us to prepare for the summit with remarkable skill. I am sure that it will be a success for all.
First, let me say a few words on migration, borders and asylum. The European Union must develop a common policy in this area.
This is a high political priority endorsed by the Convention, and in the Member States the public's expectations on this issue are high.
According to the latest Eurobarometer results released yesterday, seven out of ten Europeans want the EU to have a common asylum and migration policy.
The Council has called for a comprehensive approach on several occasions.
This approach is shared by the Commission and it has followed it by presenting three Communications to the European Council, together with a proposal for special cooperation with non-member countries.
The Commission is convinced that, in the light of progress made in the last few years, the time has now come to take further steps to consolidate the basis for our common policy.
I will quote three examples:

French porn star Katsuni is suing Bow Wow and Universal Music Group for $75,000 plus punitive damages for publicity rights violations, unfair business practices, false association and unjust enrichment.
Katsuni appeared in The Electronic Conspiracy's "Conspiracy Strip Club" music video, surprisingly as a stripper. Bow Wow's "Drank In My Cup" video uses the exact same dance routine performed by Katsuni plus a look-a-like for some simulated sex without any permission from The Electronic Conspiracy or Katsuni.
The lawsuit states: "At no time did plaintiff permit footage of her dance performance in the Electronic Conspiracy music video to be used for any other purpose or in conjunction with any other musician other than Electronic Conspiracy."
Let's compare the two videos:
It's pretty blatant that they ripped off the dance but Bow Wow is definitely not the one to blame. The director of "Drank In My Cup" is Rico Da Crook. Is anyone surprised that a self-proclaimed crook would plagiarize another music video?

The Class of 2014
Got your diary handy? Because this year is going to be very busy indeed... everything from LaFerrari to tiny superminis
Posted: 02 Jan 2014
Mercedes S-Class Coupe
Due: July
What is it? The replacement for the massive, two-door luxo-behemoth that was the CL. So, essentially, an S-Class with smaller back seats, two doors and a lower roofline. To drive, not be driven. Should I be interested? Yep. There'll be a lot of luxury waft blended with a bit of attitude in the S Coupe, and the saloon is a most excellent thing to drive. The S63 AMG Coupe should be lightly epic, though all the other S-Class engines will feature.

Traditionally recognized for books and children's programming, the public library has evolved. Today it is a cornerstone of the community that benefits everyone. Residents of all ages rely on their public library to provide what they need to face the future with the resilience that comes from new knowledge, information, skills, and abilities.
This publication is aimed at ensuring that municipal managers understand the many ways in which the 21st century public library contributes to municipal efforts to build healthy, resilient and sustainable communities.
It must be recognized that the significant community benefits of public libraries are only possible because of responsible stewardship by library boards and the enduring commitment of municipalities, aided by the Province of Ontario. By working together, library boards and municipal councils provide responsive and innovative library service that meets the needs of Ontario residents. Municipal managers are well-positioned to facilitate this important collaboration.
"Libraries and municipalities are natural partners. We respect the Board's legal autonomy, but recognize that we serve the same community and have compatible objectives. Wherever possible – in formulating budgets, in developing policies, or in delivering programs – we work together to provide value-added service to our customers."

Notes & Reviews:
Pianist Prodromos Symeonidids continues to record the complete piano music of composer Maurice Ohana in this second volume.=The twelve Études d'Interpretation are perfused by an immediate expressiveness which overwhelms the listener. Ohana portrays the primeval force of nature with all its extremes, uncompromising and untamed as though through a ritual of primeval man.
American Record Guide, July / August 2012
This powerful and exciting release fulfills all the promises established in Symeonidis's first volume of Ohana piano music (May/June 2010). Better than that, this one injects a few new colors through the addition of percussionist Friedemann Werzlau for the last two etudes. In 11, 'Sons Confondus', the effect of the collaboration is the creation of a virtual super-piano. The music exhibits the same quiet-loud alternations as the first ten etudes, but now the tones achieve new depth via the coloring of tam-tams, rattles, and cymbal scrapes. The final number stands out and closes the program with a flourish. Arranged as a dialog between the players, the movement opens with a few tentative trade-offs between piano and tam-tams before flowering into a fantastic atonal jazz jam.

Community groups sue Maui County over Clean Water Act violations
LAHAINA, Hawaii — Four community groups have filed a lawsuit in federal court against Maui County, Hawaii, for alleged Clean Water Act violations at a wastewater treatment plant, Wausau Daily Herald reported.
The groups claim millions of gallons of wastewater injected into wells at the facility each day surface offshore of Kahekili Beach Park, killing coral and triggering outbreaks of invasive algae.
Earthjustice filed the complaint Monday on behalf of Hawaii Wildlife Fund, Surfrider Foundation, West Maui Preservation Association and Sierra Club-Maui Group.
"We notified Maui County last June that its Lahaina facility was damaging the reef and operating illegally, in hope that the county would voluntarily seek the required permit for wastewater discharges from the injection wells," said Earthjustice attorney Caroline Ishida. "Unfortunately, it apparently takes an enforcement action to get the county to do anything, which is why we''re not seeking relief from the court."

PERU - Things are beginning to look up for Elmore SPCA, the organization which provides welfare services to animals from throughout the North Country.
According to the most recent edition of Elmore News, the seasonal newsletter printed by the nonprofit organization, the past year has seen a dramatic outpouring of support from people across the North Country. Last October, the animal shelter was facing potential closure due to operating at a substantial loss, which was attributed to fewer donations and increased costs in day-to-day expenses.
Carol M. Solari-Ruscoe, secretary of the Elmore SPCA board of directors, said as the organization nears the end of its fiscal year, the shelter is "on a better financial footing than this time last year."
"As soon as people were aware of our financial situation earlier this year, they stepped up from all walks of life to try to help; adults and children alike," said Solari-Ruscoe. "Based on the encouraging responses from people, it is very clear that they want to see the Elmore SPCA remain open."
Easter basket raffles, perennial plant sales, bake sales, school fundraisers and even Girl Scout food drives are among the fundraisers held to benefit the shelter, said Solari-Ruscoe.
"It has been so amazing," she said. "Everything raised has helped to keep our shelter open for all the animals depending on us to give them a second chance."
Though Elmore SPCA is seeing progress, the shelter's financial troubles are far from over, Solari-Ruscoe said.
"We are still struggling financially as it costs approximately $12,000 a month to keep the shelter open," she said. "This is a huge challenge for a rural shelter to meet every single month, especially in difficult economic times."
Regardless of the financial climate, Elmore SPCA needs to pay for insurances and utilities while providing shelter and proper care for homeless animals and maintaining sufficient staff to do so, said Solari-Ruscoe.
Events such as the recent Flaming Leaves Auction Night held at American Legion Post 20 in Plattsburgh - which raised more than $3,000 - are key to helping the shelter, which also relies heavily on donations.
"Quite literally, the only way we will stay open is through strong and sustained support by the community," she said.
Those interested in making a donation to the shelter may send contributions in care of Elmore SPCA to 510 Arthur Road, Peru N.Y. 12972. For more information, call the shelter at 643-2451 or visit their Web site, www.elmorespca.org.

For years, it was nothing more than a beat-up old 1935 Ford pickup collecting dust in an Oregon barn. From the looks of it, no one would have guessed that the old pickup that wound up in a field in Mist, Oregon, was once the original work truck of a hot rodding legend. Nor would anyone have guessed at that time that the truck would one day be restored to its original glory. Enter the team at Hatfield Restorations. The story of the truck begins in the late 1950s when legendary rod builder Gene Winfield and his friend Rick Lefelt built the truck and painted it its signature bronze color to be shown at a San Mateo, California, car show in January 1960 to help advertise Winfield's custom shop. The truck was a hit, even landing an appearance in the October 1961 issue of Custom Rodder where it was called "The Bronze Coated Beauty." The truck was modified throughout the early 1960s by Winfield and was painted blue. In 1963, Winfield put the truck up for sale in the classified section of Hot Rod magazine, eventually working out a trade and selling it to an Oregon man who would go on to crash the vehicle and later sell it to Don Epling in 1965. After that, the truck essentially "disappeared" for the next 43 years, sitting in Epling's barn. Winfield had no idea what had happened to his old shop truck.
The barn and truck survived two floods and, after the second flood in January 2008, Epling moved the truck to a field on his property so it could dry out. David "Tex" Barnes spotted the truck in the summer of 2008 while he was driving by Epling's property. Although he was only able to see the rear of the truck from the road, it made an impression on him. After reading an article in Rodder's Journal about Winfield's truck, he wondered if it might be the same truck he'd seen rusting in the field in Oregon. David and his brother, Dale, who works for Hatfield Restorations in Canton, Texas, went to see the truck and eventually decided they wanted to purchase it for Dale's boss. The brothers, along with Gary Hatfield, owner of the shop, finally convinced Epling to sell it. "[We] discussed the importance of the barn find," said Hatfield. "[We] decided [the truck] needed to be preserved." With the sale complete, the truck was trailered from Oregon to its new home in Texas. "On the way, [Dale] stopped at Gene Winfield's shop in Mojave, California, so he could see his old truck after some 40 years," said Hatfield. "Gene had been looking for the truck for the past 18–20 years," said Hatfield. "He'd heard of its general location and had traveled to Oregon twice to see if he could find it but each time he failed to locate it. He had a customer from Washington state that wanted to reproduce the truck and had even bought him a 1935 Ford pickup to use, just prior to us finding the real thing." Restoring the truck to its original beauty would be no easy task. Years in a barn, as well as the six months it had been exposed to the elements in the field, had taken its toll on the truck. Still, Hatfield and his team were determined to turn the pickup into a "Bronze Coated Beauty" again. "The restoration took 4,000 hours and was completed in eight months," said Hatfield. "Zac Rabe, Mark Dunbar and all of the other employees at Hatfield's were all dedicated to the restoration of this important part of custom car history." Other important members of the build team include Paul Shelton, Merrilee McLemore, Stephen Tompkins and Pete Rose. Despite how long it had been stored, the truck was in decent shape. Although it was missing its engine, it still had many priceless features, including the original Tommy the Greek pinstriping on the dash and the dropped axle built by Winfield himself. The truck was completely torn apart, blasted and repaired. Mike Herman of H&H Flatheads assembled a new 255-cubic-inch Flathead engine for the truck, which was installed with the original Winfield cam and a 1940 transmission. Offenhauser heads and an intake with two polished 97 carburetors were also added. To return the bronzed luster to the pickup, the team stripped the old blue paint and spent hours trying to perfect the bronze color. "The color was matched from samples on one of the shock absorbers that had been originally painted by Gene Winfield," said Hatfield. Hatfield sent the shock absorber to PPG's labs, where the company finally perfected the color. "It's a perfect match to the bronze gold metallic originally on the truck," said Hatfield, of the color that his painter, Michael Stovall, sprayed the truck. The original Tommy the Greek pinstriping and lettering was redone by Daniel Gay of Wylie, Texas. For the truck's interior, Hatfield took some of the original fabric he found on the old seats and door panels to Dean Boyd of Sunbelt Fabrics in Dallas to try to find a good match. Boyd supplied him with gold and white material from a 1957 Oldsmobile that complemented the truck's exterior. Tony Chamberlain did the entire interior in-house at Hatfield's. The last custom touch was the addition of the original "Winfield's Custom Shop" plaques, which Winfield himself had supplied to the restoration team. The plaques were restored and bolted back to the bed rails that they'd graced nearly 50 years before. The truck was shown unfinished at the 2009 Dallas Autorama and the Lonestar Roundup in Austin in the spring of 2009. Eight months and 4,000 man-hours after they started the project, the team showcased the finished truck at the 61st Grand National Roadster Show in January 2010. Gene Winfield was there and added the finishing touch to his former shop truck—his autograph on the dash. "When Gene saw the truck, he commented that it was never that nice when he had it," said Hatfield. "He was delighted that we had done such a nice job."

Owner: Gary Hatfield
Builder: Hatfield Restorations

Cleveland, OH (SportsNetwork.com) - The Cleveland Cavaliers announced Saturday evening what everyone already knew.
They have signed LeBron James.
What the Cavaliers' 800-word news release didn't say is what was reported by multiple media outlets earlier in the day -- that James finalized a two-year, $42.1 million deal.
The contract, according to the reports, is built around James being able to re-sign with the Cavaliers a couple of years down the road when the value of the league's maximum contract is expected to jump.
James announced in a first-person essay on Friday that he was returning to the Cavaliers after four seasons with the Miami Heat, telling Sports Illustrated he was "coming home."
His decision ended heated speculation about where the four-time MVP would sign after he opted out of his contract with the Heat last month.
James played his first seven NBA seasons for the Cavs, averaging 27.8 points and taking the team to the NBA Finals once. He made the Finals all four years with the Heat, winning two NBA titles.
Cavaliers general manager David Griffin said in a statement the team "could not be happier" to welcome James back to Cleveland.
That's in stark contrast to owner Dan Gilbert's scathing letter four years ago in the aftermath of James' decision to leave for Miami.

When the trains began to haul their first long strings of clacking freight cars loaded with cattle, many ranchmen were happy that for their sons the getting of cattle to market in the future would be so simplified. Weeks on the trail, driving their slow moving herds, through days of sun and days of rain, with always nights on the great outside, were now over. But life has a way of compensating, and from these men who had been called on to use the best that was in them of courage and of resourcefulness through those years, there grew a line of sturdy, hardy men who could not have just happened to be as they were. They had been developed.
Among these Knights of the Cattle Trail— the old trail drivers— was William G. Butler, of Karnes county, known all the way up and down the trail as Bill Butler.
When Texas was young and raw and the bad man seemed ever ready to get the better of the good man, bec...
Hi everyone,
I am writing to let you know what is going on with Rodney (James's Dad). On Thursday he had a massive heart attack. Luckily he was in his Doctor's office and was rushed to Memorial Herman Baptist Hospital in Beaumont. He had a couple of stints and a balloon put in right away to stabilize him. He then somewhat stabilized for the moment, they moved him to ICU. His arteries were 90 to 100% blockage, hence the whole heart attack issue. His cardiologist called in the Cardiovascular & Thoracic Surgeon Dr. Michael Oszczakiewicz (Dr. Oz). He determined Bypass was indeed needed within 24 hours. they scheduled it for Thursday evening. Well as it got later into the night Dr Oz's previous surgery lingered on. So they rescheduled Rodney first thing in the morning. Hoping also that his Stats would rise a bit.
Friday morning we got to the hospital about 6am. Rodney was ok and was nervous, as to be expected. He kept asking James "When you had your surgery were you nervous?" "Did you sleep the night before?" "Did your stomach kinda turn?" and so on. James reassured him that it was ok to be nervous, just don't give up. At 7:15am they took him to surgery.
12:25pm Dr Oz came out and said everything went well. Rodney recieved 4 units of blood at first because he was very anemic and his pressure was so low, Then he had 4 bypasses done. Dr Oz said is Rodney was a little younger he would have done 8 or 9. Oz then went back to finish up. Around 2:30pm Pat (James's mom) was allowed to go back and see him for a moment. James and I saw him around 4:30pm.
So far Rodney is doing very good. Today they removed his Ventilator and he is breathing on his own. He is hurting, which is to be expected, but I think he will be just fine.
Rodney should be in ICU for a few more days, then he will be transferred to a regular room. If you would like to visit him you have to going visiting hours and if you didn't know his name it is James Rodney Cox. Hopefully this 74year old man will out live us all now.

Dad's Ashes

Sunday Dinner at Grandma's
By Granddaughter Linda P. Butler Beber about her brother, Russell Butler
Sunday Dinner was pretty special at the McLaughlin house. All the relatives within driving distance were invited to come. Grandma and Grandpa raised chickens and a garden. Times weren't always prosperous within the family so it was especially nice to have the opportunity to enjoy a nice meal with foods we didn't have during the week. Besides, restaurants were just for those traveling and fortunate enough to be able to afford to.
Grandma rose very early in the morning on Saturday to start her days chores and get ready for Sunday Dinner. Saturday was the day the lucky chicken or rooster would be processed for the next day. The garden vegetables would be gathered and cleaned. The evening ended with the weekly bath.
Early Sunday morning, Grandma began the baking and cooking. She then got ready to go to church. Knowing she would have between 8 and 12 hungry kids and grandkids kept her schedule pretty tight. Then about 1:00 everyone would arrive.
There were lots of tales to tell and the ups and downs of the week and politics to share. The kids were busy outside, inside, slamming the screen door and playing chase. The adults were in the living room or helping Grandma set the table.
The dinner was fairly predictable with Fried Chicken, Mashed Potatoes, Beans (of some sort), chicken and dumplings, biscuits and cake or pie. Sometimes, if the chickens were really producing, we would have deviled eggs. But sometimes if we were lucky, she would trade a chicken for some ham or beef for roasting. There was always iced tea and Grandpa's boiled coffee. The kids loved to watch him pour his coffee from the oversized pottery cup into a saucer, twirl it around slightly to cool it off and then slurp it up. Breakfast was a feast to behold, but that is another story.
When everyone gathered at the table and in their places, Grandma on the north end, Grandpa on the south end and the other adults on the sides (children standing at the corners); we would join hands and pray.
Grandma usually said grace, not only thanking God for the food, the day, His graces but she typically mentioned everyone and every subject on her prayer list and then specifically everyone, by name, gathered at the table. We knew Grandma had a direct line to God, otherwise, how could she talk so direct to Him. In any event, the prayer was usually pretty long, especially with wafts of delicious dishes floating around the room and coming across each nose making our minds drift and our stomachs growl.
This particular Sunday, there weren't many children for dinner so she invited my brother Russell to sit at the table. And, wanting to give him a little special attention, asked if he would offer grace. Russell had been attending Sunday school and vacation Bible School and was getting of the age he could take his turn at saying grace. Russell was happy but a little apprehensive. How could he offer a prayer that could compare with the Grandma's prayers that were right up there with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, maybe even David! However, humbly he agreed and as everyone lowered their heads and closed their eyes, he began. "Thank you, God, for this food and bless the hands that prepared it. Thank you for this day."
Then, as he learned from Grandma, he began to mention each person present and ask for blessings on them. "And God bless Grandma; God bless Grandpa; God bless Momma; God bless Linda; God bless Mildred; God bless Jimmy; God bless Aunt Estelle and God bless….God bless….God bless…. I began to worry for him. Who was he trying to think of?
What was he going to do? I looked at him by opening one eye to see what he was doing.
Come on, Russell, this is your one chance at saying grace at the table with the adults, don't blow it! Then he continued, God bless….and then declared, with confidence, and God Bless that man Aunt Estelle lives with! Amen!
Everyone had a big laugh and enjoyed the Sunday dinner!
After I came along Mama and Jim divorced in 1954 and Mama was left raising three children on her own. In the late 1950's Mama met and married Art Warren, a man that was known as a dancer.. She said, "That man could dance better than any man she knew"… and she loved to dance… and so the match was made! I always thought my love of dancing came from watching the two of them dance around the room!
Some of us called him Art, but most of us kids knew him as Daddy Art. He was a good man that had a strong religious background. He was our strength and our family rock. We all turned to him when we needed help and he gave it to us. He could play a Harmonica as good as anyone around but many times felt he was annoying others when he played. Little did he know we loved it!
Daddy Art loved Lucy as much as anyone could love a spouse and he really missed her when she was gone. He loved little children and loved being around other people even though he felt he might not fit in.
Daddy Art had four children previous to his marriage to Mama. Ken, Dennis, John and Tony Warren. They are Stepbrothers and sister and a part of our extended family. Ken Warren has pasted way, Dennis lives in Seattle Washington, Tony lives in Nacogdoches Texas and John lives in Portland Oregon.
I am Russell the youngest of the four children born to Momma and Jim. I can't tell you much about my father, but my older brother and sisters can. I can tell you a lot about our mother from my prospective and I know my brother and sisters can tell you more.
I can say that this family really loves to have fun when they get together. I am really hoping to see all of you there at the reunion.
My wife, Margaret and I live in Vidor Texas and we have three children, Shaw Cox, Misty and Cole Butler. Shaw is married to James Cox from Vidor and Misty past away in 2002 and Cole lives in Austin with his girlfriend Summer. Her cousin and one of my best friends in El Paso, Texas introduced Margaret and me. Margaret was a beauty from New Mexico and I fell madly in love right from the start. I just couldn't help myself. We dated long distant for a year and then we married. I was so happy to be her husband and still am to this day, even after 35 years together. I'm a lucky Man. This is only the beginning of Margaret's and mine life together, now let's here something from the rest of Ya'll.

Grandma's Will
By Linda P. Beber, Granddaughter
July 22, 2008
Grandma McLaughlin was of native Indian heritage. To my knowledge, she did not inherit much from her mother, Minnie West and father, James West, full blood Cherokee Indians.
Growing up, I do not remember any artifacts or even furniture pieces from Grandma's childhood.
Grandma and Grandpa's house was sparsely furnished, a recliner in the corner, next to a large, rectangular gas heating stove that was oh so warm to stand next to in the winter; and across from a black and white TV. There was a rocking chair for Grandpa, sort of situated in the center of the living room, facing the TV. Against the wall was an old sofa and coffee table. Between as a tall 4 door curved glass curio cabinet with my deceased Aunt Opals doll collection.
As children, we often admired the dolls given to her from well wishers, far and wide, during her young years through her bout with Rheumatic Fever. Each of us had our favorites. Mine was the Navajo Indian dolls. My brother liked the cowboy, my sister, well, she liked the cabinet. We each asked Grandma if we could inherit our favorites one day.
There weren't many pictures but there was one of a guardian angel watching over two young children as they picked flowers while crossing over a wooden bridge. My youngest brother wanted it.
I am sure there were pieces around the house that other family members (my grandparents had 6 children who all had children of their own) and cousins wished to inherit; perhaps some of the same pieces. There were hand embroidered linens and quilts as well as some of the bedroom furnishings to desire to own one day also.
I asked Grandma one time why she didn't have any antique furniture passed down from other generations. She replied, "Oh, I never wanted any of that old stuff. I wanted new things". The things they owned were the best their meager depression era incomes raising chickens and eggs and later, Grandpa's income as a night watchman for El Paso Natural Gas could buy. They weren't fancy people.
What Grandma and Grandpa were most proud of, besides their love for their family, was their Christian heritage and believe in Jesus Christ! Grandma did inherit that from her mother.
There was no doubt she loved Christ and enjoyed a close, personal and special relationship with Him.
Every morning began at about 5:00 with Bible reading and prayer. Grandpa did not know how to read, so Grandma read the Bible and newspaper to him when he came home from work. She then prepared a huge breakfast for him before he went to bed for a while. Grandpa passed away and left a big hole in our hearts.
Sunday's were the best days of the week as she could go to church, Grandpa was home, the family would come to Sunday dinner and she could spend time with them in the afternoon.
Miz' Mac, as they called her at church, didn't vocalize a lot of her personal ministry with the children or grandchildren but I heard of times she went door to door in her neighborhood sharing the love of Jesus and inviting people to church. During the depression, I heard, she shared eggs and vegetables with neighbors who couldn't afford to buy them, as well as praying with them. She always prepared soup or a meal for the sick in the neighborhood, the family and her church. I remember a letter came from the Boys Town orphanage after her death. My mother called to tell them she had passed on. They told her that Miz' Mac had been a contributor since before the depression.
Grandma's prayers were amazing! They were long, whether she was praying in her living room or at the dinner meal. She spoke direct and specific to God. She mentioned everyone and their personal situation and the answer she expected, no matter who was present! The children and grandchildren were able to catch up with the happenings of the whole family during her prayers! I was so impressed with her talking to God, one day as we all had our eyes closed and heads lowered, I nudged my sister and whispered, "Can she talk to God like that"? There was no doubt she had a direct line to God!
When her health failed and it came time for her to leave this earth, she was in the hospital. My mother was with her and grandma said, "Oh, I want to go home"! Mom said, "Moma, just get well and we'll take you home". She quickly replied, "Oh, Lucille, I don't want to go to that old house! I want to go home to heaven! That's my home".
After she passed on, there was a lot of discussion about who was going to get what. Some of the relatives took advantage of the timing while staying at Grandma's house and got some advance gifting. Some things simply disappeared, much to the surprise and dismay of those who were waiting for the elders to call a meeting.
In any event, Grandma did write notes on the bottom of things as well as Aunt Opal's doll collection. We were thrilled with the few things we received that evoked fond memories of our time with she and Grandpa.
Getting back to Grandma's Will, I contemplated what her Last Will and Testamentmight have said. The truth is, it was her Will that each child, grandchild to the seventh generation and beyond, be gifted with acceptance of Jesus Christ, accept the work He did on the cross for them personally and live for Him. She prayed every day for this. The greatest gift each member of the family could inherit is her faith in Jesus Christ as their savior; to receive the promise of eternal life and to join her and other family in heaven.
It was easy for me, seeing my Grandparents example and going to Sunday school as a child with them to accept Jesus at 9 years old.
Thinking about the things people inherit from their family, many think about money, real estate, furniture, vehicles, habits and attitudes (sometimes). I have come to the conclusion that I and those in the family, who have followed Grandma in becoming a Christian, inherited the best part! Psalms 16:5-6 says, "The Lord is the portion of my inheritance and my cup, You have maintained my lot….. I have a goodly heritage"!
Grandma's will was for each to receive your portion of faith. The question is; have you received your inheritance?

Anuses are part of the body not even nudists often see. They might catch a glimpse of an anus, depending on the anatomical design of a particular individual, when they bend over or lie on their bellies with their legs spread, but our glutes usually keep them hidden even then. Situated between two fleshy butt cheeks, our anus rarely experiences fresh air and sunshine without the assistance of prying fingers, or by positioning our bodies in certain ways. Maybe because anuses are so well hidden is why we are intrigued by them. Maybe we find the human buttocks so provocative and appealing not only because of its delightful shape, but also because we know something taboo or "naughty" is hidden there. Male and female anuses look essentially the same. The distinguishing factors are the distinct male or female shape of the buttocks, and the more abundant hair in most men's cracks. A woman's anus is remarkably close to her vulva, whereas an man's anus and testicles are separated by his perineum. Our anuses maintain a distinct smell, determined by sweat and natural odors that escape from the rectum. Even after a shower these components serve to keep an anus smelling like an anus, which many, including me, believe provide a sexual component. Coupled with pheromones in the sweat, the distinct odor causes your body to have a physical reaction. You will likely be sexually aroused. In time the natural odor produced by your anus will become offensive, especially if you don't thoroughly clean up after a bowel movement. Most people rely exclusively on toilet tissue, which is better than nothing, but hardly adequate to clean yourself.A good practise is to keep a supply of moist towelettes (available at supermarkets, drug stores and places like Walmart) near the toilet. Use them after using the tissue until the towelette remains clean after you wipe. In a public restroom, moisten a paper towel to take into the stall to use when your business is done. You can stay fresh all day with this simple effort.
Better still, install a bidet on your toilet.
I purchased one for both of my toilets at Amazon. Under forty dollars, easy to install, easy to use, and they keep you shower-fresh all day. The up-side is you will never smell offensive. Visually the human anus wasn't designed to inspire us with eye-pleasing beauty. In fact I would bet most people think they look gross, probably because of the anus's basic function. Though many will refuse to recognize the sexual component of the anus, it's a part of our body that definitely plays a sexual role. And they aren't gross. They are one of the most intriguing features of our body. They provide visual stimulation. They are replete with sensitive nerve endings that, with a bit of thoughtful attention, will enhance arousal during foreplay and lovemaking. They add an exciting element to oral sex and intercourse for both men and women. What is more intimate than caressing your lover's anus with your finger or tongue? One of the intriguing aspects of the human anus is the variations from one person to the next. Like navels, a person can have an "innie" or an "outtie". The characteristics aren't feminine or masculine, they simply vary. In both men and women, some anal areas are hairy while others are hairless. Some are nondescript fissures while other are far more dramatic, featuring bold colors, creases, ridges or shadowy openings. Some pucker and pinch together, while others simply sink into a person's body in the form of a slit. Why is an anus so intriguing? Just look at the guy pictured above, a valley of dramatic pink situated between two pale white cheeks. The contrast is remarkable. the pink matches the color of his scrotum, another eye-catching contrast. The tiny downward creases trailing into a small shadowy hole. If that's not anatomical mystery, what is? If that's not an intimate visual, what is? The only question is does his partner have the imagination to enjoy it, to explore it, to make it part of their intimacy?As the picture above illustrates, part of the anus's intrigue is its proximity to a person's sex organs. It's down there close, adding to menu of sexual activity, adding its characteristic smell to the mix. Just as in the animal world, what the smells that go through our noses are powerful aphrodisiacs.
And there is the naughty factor. Assholes, looking at them, touching them, sniffing them is generally considered naughty, and most of us have a naughty streak that surfaces from time to time. But then sometimes it's fun and harmless to be naughty.So enjoy the pictures. Perhaps create a fantasy or two about what you would like to do with your lover. Maybe get a mirror out and have a good look at your own, even do a little experimenting. After all, there is a great variety of adult toys designed for anal pleasure, either alone or with your partner. .

How is it really going in Afghanistan? In his recent testimony before Congress, Gen. David Petraeus reported substantial if fragile progress and conveyed a can-do attitude reflecting confidence about our prospects. Yet press reports and other organizations and individuals on the ground seem to grow more dispirited by the month. Are they looking at the same war?
They are. But they apply very different standards, and so they reach very different conclusions.
Soldiers are trained and equipped to fight. They expect to operate in dangerous environments, and they look for gradual improvement from very dangerous to less so. Most civilians, by contrast, do not expect to live and work in combat zones. This encourages a more binary sense of security for them: Either a district is safe enough to send aid workers to live in or travel through, or it is not.
