Wheelchair used to commit a crime
The Kanawha County Sheriff's office is still looking for an armed robbery suspect. The robbery happened on a road, and the victim says he was driving by when he was flagged down by a man in a wheelchair. Thinking he needed help, Joshua Hillman of St. Albans stopped on Coal River Road near Valley Street, outside of Saint Albans, and suddenly two other men emerged and one had a gun. Hillman told detectives he knew the man in the wheelchair by the name of "Zack," a thin white male in his 20's. Anyone with tips should call the Kanawha County Sheriff's office, and anyone else who comes across a similar situation should report it right away.

ABC's NASHVILLE Beats Back Wednesday Night Competition
As each of its series grew over their most recent original telecasts in early December, ABC won Wednesday night in Adults 18-49 over original programming on each of the other nets, including CBS with THE PEOPLE'S CHOICE AWARDS. ABC's Modern Family qualified as Wednesday's #1 TV show for its 10th straight original telecast across all key Adult demos (AD18-34/AD18-49/AD25-54). ABC earned its top-rated Wednesday since early November in Adults 18-49 with regular programming on the night - since 11/7/12.
At 8pm, ABC's The Middle won its half-hour in Total Viewers and Adults 18-49. The Middle was up over its most recent original 4 weeks ago by 15% in viewers and by 14% in young adults to its best numbers since 11/14/12.
At 8:30pm, ABC freshman The Neighbors ranked #1 in Adults 18-49, beating NBC's freshman Guys With Kids by 65% in viewers and by a best-ever 54% in young adults. The Neighbors built over its last original by 23% in Total Viewers and by 25% in Adults 18-49 with its strongest numbers since November - since 11/14/12 and 11/7/12, respectively.
At 9pm, ABC's Modern Family shot to the top of its half-hour, outpacing its nearest competition (CBS' People's Choice Awards) by 22% in Total Viewers and by 88% in Adults 18-49. MODERN grew from its last original by 10% in viewers and by 12% in young adults to post its top numbers since 11/7/12.
In the 9:30pm half-hour, ABC's Suburgatory was the scripted leader in Adults 18-49, beating NBC's original L&O: SVU by 23% in Adults 18-49. Suburgatory was up over its last original 5 weeks ago by 15% in Total Viewers and by 23% in Adults 18-49 to its highest young adult number since 11/7/12.
During the 10 o'clock hour, ABC's Nashville once again beat its CBS and NBC drama competition among Women 18-34. Season to date, Nashville is delivering big increases via TV playback, picking up 57% in Adults 18-49 (+1.2 rating) and 45% in Total Viewers (+2.9 million) from L+SD to L+7. Equaling its 2nd-highest Adult 18-49 number, Nashville built for its 3rd straight original telecast among young adults (+5% from its Winter Finale on 12/5/12).

Office: EHS 215
I joined the Department of Biology and Chemistry at George Fox University in the fall of 2011. Prior to being at George Fox, I was teaching in the Life Sciences department at Bethel College in Indiana. When a position at George Fox opened up, I quickly applied as I recognized that George Fox has an outstanding program in biology and chemistry and I hoped to be a part of it. It also had the added bonus of bringing me back to Newberg near my family.
As a junior in college I decided that I wanted to teach biology at the collegiate level, preferably at a Christian liberal arts institution. This desire came out of the experience I had as an undergraduate student at a similar school. I hoped that I could combine my passion for biology, my love for teaching, and my desire to help students grow as individuals. Now after teaching at this level for several years I can honestly say that this job is a good fit for my God-given talents and abilities. I really enjoy being able to journey with students as they discern where God is calling them.
Academic Background
BS, Biology, Azusa Pacific University (2002)
PhD, Biological Sciences, University of Notre Dame (2007)
Expertise and Research Interests
My research focuses on understanding the genetic mechanisms of growth in the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum. As a graduate student I focused on developing several assays for ascertaining the growth of a set of parasites derived from a genetic cross between two genetically unique parasite isolates. One, HB3, is sensitive to the antimalarial chloroquine while the other, Dd2, is resistant to chloroquine and many other antimalarials. These growth measures were used in quantitative trait loci mapping to locate regions within the parasite genome that could be responsible for variability in parasite growth. In addition, I am trying to understand how differential parasite growth may be affected by long-term chloroquine pressure.
Currently I am working with undergraduate students to develop a growth assay using the fluorescent dye SYBR green that will allow us to do high-throughput assays in house. In the future I hope to continue to pursue my search for genes regulating parasite growth by performing knock-out and gene replacement studies in the parasite to determine what genes may alter the parasite's phenotype.

Outside the Classroom
Outside of teaching I stay busy as a full-time mom of three young children with which God has blessed my husband and I. Through these past years I am continuing to grow into my role as a mother and am so thankful that God has given me the opportunity to help teach my children about him and his love for all of us. When I am not working you can find me teaching my children at home, visiting the library, zoo, beach, or family, playing at parks, going for walks, or enjoying a 'treat' at Coffee Cottage!

YIELD: Makes 8 servings
For jelly:
Pour Prosecco into large bowl. Pour 3/4 cup cold water into small saucepan; sprinkle gelatin over and let stand until gelatin softens, about 5 minutes. Add sugar to gelatin mixture and stir over medium-low heat just until sugar and gelatin dissolve, about 5 minutes (do not boil). Whisk gelatin mixture into Prosecco (mixture will foam; let stand to settle). Cover and refrigerate at least 3 hours. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Keep refrigerated.)
For candied orange peel:
Using vegetable peeler and working from top of orange toward bottom, remove peel (orange part only) from oranges in long strips. Cut orange peel lengthwise into 1/8-inch-wide strips.
Bring 2 cups water to boil in small saucepan. Add pinch of salt and orange peel; reduce heat to medium and simmer 15 minutes. Drain. Return peel to same pan. Add remaining 3/4 cup water, sugar, and Grand Marnier. Bring to boil; reduce heat to medium and simmer until thick syrup forms and mixture is reduced to 1/2 cup, about 20 minutes. Cool peel completely in syrup. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and keep refrigerated. Bring to room temperature before continuing.)
For fruit:
Toss all ingredients in large bowl to blend. Let stand until sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes.
Using spoon, scoop Prosecco jelly into bite-size pieces. Divide among 8 serving bowls or goblets. Spoon fruit over jelly. Scatter 1 teaspoon candied orange peel over each serving.

And you don't see it as ironic that in "the land of the free" people are being punished for refusing to play the obsessive patriot? It has nothing to do with respect, and everything to do with the post 9-11 atmosphere in which people who aren't obsessively patriotic are treated with suspicion.
It's just a damn flag it's not going to harm anyone.
MANY men and women have lost their lives for that flag. I lost so much of my small bowel for that Flag that I'm barely hanging on to life myself. Do I love America? Yes emphatically.

Studio Audience: Giant polar bears, Instagram ads and a new national treasure?
Sorry for the slight delay on bringing you this week's podcast but we would modestly suggest it's worth the wait. Here's your Studio Audience bingo card for this episode: 1. Use of the word "lampoon." 2. A strangely Blairite description of David Shrigley. 3. The second use of the word "lampoon." 4. An allusion to an infamous bottle-based Bog Brother incident. 5. A bizarre drug-art metaphor. Enjoy!
You can subscribe via iTunes here or listen via the SoundCloud link above.
Section One
First up this week we hailed Amy West's great Grafik BS project, a hoax looking at style over substance in the design world and we analysed Instagram's plans to introduce adverts. We also welcomed the news that Greenpeace are walking a massive polar bear puppet through the streets of London this weekend and looked forward to a documentary focussing on two unlikely contemporary art world heroes, Herb and Dorothy Vogel.
Section Two
Section Two kicked off with the week-long-awaited look at the shortlist for the Trafalgar Square Fourth Plinth commission and in particular the inclusion of David Shrigley (hot on the heels of his Turner Prize recognition).
Then we appraised plans by the National Trust to open up the Big Brother house to the public as part of a campaign to engage new visitors in a tongue-in-cheek way.

Astros complete one-year deals with three players
Carpenter, Wallace, Fulchino not yet eligible for arbitration
, Copyright 2011 Houston Chronicle |
February 10, 2011
Photo By Michael Paulsen/ChronicleBrett Wallace will make $418,000, which is just $4,000 more than the major league minimum.
The Astros signed three more players to one-year deals Thursday, inking first baseman Brett Wallace and relievers Jeff Fulchino and David Carpenter, all pre-arbitration-eligible players.
Wallace will make $418,000, which is just $4,000 more than the major league minimum — a result of his less than one year of service. He will compete for the starting first base job in spring training.
The righthander Fulchino, who has been with the Astros since 2009, will make $467,000.
Carpenter's deal was for the major league minimum of $414,000 as he has never pitched in the big leagues. The righty was added to the 40-man roster to protect him from exposure to the Rule 5 draft.
The Astros have until Feb. 27 to sign players under team control. Salaries for players with fewer than the three years of service required to reach arbitration eligibility will continue trickling in until then.

Mounting concerns over the increased prospects of global slowdown, a
persistence of adverse international capital market conditions and
continued unease about the downside effects of the domestic energy crisis
as well as the emerging political cycle, have prompted substantial
adjustments to growth forecasts for this and the coming year. In addition,
the continued deterioration in the exchange rate is prompting further
monetary tightening and external balances remain a concern as the slowdown
of the export engine is only partially compensated by lower imports.
Exchange rate in free fall.
Throughout this year the Real has suffered from persistent deterioration.
The contagion from Argentina, concerns about the growth impact of energy
rationing, worries about the global downturn and increased apprehension
about the domestic political cycle have served to weaken the Real
significantly. In September, the currency depreciation continued to
accelerate with the Real losing an additional 5.7% in nominal terms,
following the 4.7% and 5.2% depreciations in August and July respectively.
In total, the Real has now lost 26.8% of its value relative to the US$
this year. As a result of the unrelenting currency deterioration,
international reserve levels have continued to be drawn down as holders of
local assets seek a safe haven in the US$. The loss in international
reserves, which dropped throughout most of September, prompted the Central
Bank to issue some US$ 13 billion in dollar indexed government bonds and
to reinstate the 10% compulsory bank reserve requirement on term deposits
abolished two years ago. This month's Consensus Forecast reflects
participants' concern that what was initially expected to be an
overshooting of the exchange rate may, in fact, be a more permanent
weakening of the Real. International reserve levels are expected to drop
further this year, despite the US$ 4.7 billion boost received from the
International Monetary Fund (IMF) on 28 September under the terms of the
US$ 15.65 billion Stand-by Agreement. Thus, the exchange rate forecast
for this year has again been revised upward. Currency pressures are
expected to subside only marginally next year, given the new international
scenario and the prospects for increased risk posed to economic policy by
the political cycle.
Tighter credit and higher interest rates pose
further challenge to economy. The increase in Central Bank
reserve requirements is expected to restrict credit availability further,
which along with a higher probability that interest rates could be hiked
to avert further currency depreciation, will dampen economic activity for
the remainder of this and next year. Even though the Central Bank decided
to maintain the benchmark interest rate at 19% in its 19 September board
meeting, officials are unlikely to ease this year, particularly if
currency pressures persist and concerns over further inflation pass-through
mount The September consumer prices data indicates that annual
inflation remains above the Central Bank target of 6% for this year.
According to Consensus Forecast data, inflation is likely to exceed the
official target.
Banking on trade but global scenario not
promising. Despite the economic slowdown, the government is
maintaining its economic growth forecast for next year, anticipating that
the weaker currency will help spur export growth. However, in September,
exports grew only 0.7% over the same month last year, which was down from
3.8% in August. Import growth is showing strong signs of a slowdown as
well, as firms and consumers alike adjust to the weakening exchange rate.
In September, imports declined by 17.6%, the third monthly decline
following the 5.9% and 0.6% drops in August and July respectively. As a
result of substantially lower imports, the monthly trade balance
registered a surplus of US$ 594 million, the highest monthly surplus since
October 1994. The healthy August and September surpluses served to lower
the annual trade deficit to just US$ 174 million in September, down from
US$ 1.1 billion in August. The government hopes that the increased
likelihood of a notable decline in imports, when combined with a stronger
export expansion, will serve to ease some of the pressure on the current
account emerging from adverse international capital market conditions and
declining FDI inflows. According to government estimates, the current
account will drop to US$ 24 billion, which remains well below figure
anticipated by panellists for this year. Furthermore, some participants
remain sceptical about the ability of the economy to export its way out of
the current slowdown, since global demand is likely to experience a major
downturn and the accession of China to the World Trade Organisation (WTO)
is expected to add increased competition for Brazilian exports.
Growth forecast receives major downward
adjustment. Some panellists believe that the economy is
already in or just entering a recession. This month's Consensus Forecast
indicates that Brazil is likely to enter recession in the fourth quarter
of this year, after meak growth in the third quarter. The high prospects
for a much weaker second half of this year will drive down annual growth.
Moreover, recession is expected to carry over to the first quarter of next
year but the slowdown is likely to subside in the second quarter and pick
up in the second half to boost the annual expansion.

|Following a 2008 of misfortune (the death of his mother, the dissolution of his engagement), hip-hop's enigmatic impresario Kanye West returns, a bit more somber, slightly more urgent, but still pushing boundaries, on his fourth record, 808S & HEARTBREAK. From the first track, the sprawling, drum-n-bass-propelled "Say You Will," and from the ubiquitous lead single, the propulsive "Love's Lockdown," it is clear that West is venturing further into the electronic sound he explored on GRADUATION.
|West has decreed that all beats on 808S be derived from the Roland TR-808 for a more "tribal feel," and he distorts his voice at will, producing a surreal sound, one bordering on a robot having a mental breakdown. On this adventurous album, West is King Lear's Edgar, a sharp-minded philosopher lost in the forest of despair, unsure how to react, how to perceive reality. That's not to say that he's simply wallowing, even on the most despondent "Welcome to Heartbreak," a tribute to his mother. While 808S is an album that may be challenging at times, it's also often hypnotic and unquestionably catchy--basically, everything one might want from a Kanye West album.

Professional Reviews
- 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Thankfully, there are those 808s. Kanye constructed the songs using a classic Roland TR-808 drum machine, and the results are a pleasant shock: stark, spacey tracks, which owe far more to Eighties electro and synth pop than anything on hip-hop radio."
- "[H]is flair for wordplay remains gratifyingly intact....He offers this glimpse of the soul beneath the swagger, and we like him better for it." -- Grade: A-
- "[H]is lyrics he tempers with humour, and these enormous tracks, built like New Orleans blues-like dirges, have the soft touches of piano and chords given the full sustain."
- "Sonically, West pushes the envelope by relying on the drum machine from which the album takes its title, as well as the ever-popular vocoder."
- 4 stars out of 5 -- "808S AND HEARTBREAKS' bravery makes it compelling...it feels honest....It is his most fascinating, and bewildering, record to date."
- 4 stars out of 5 -- "[A] chunk of emotional permafrost -- a beautiful soundtrack for a long, harsh winter....He's found a way to turn numbness into art."
- "Given the reduced palette with which Kanye is working, it's amazing there is such a spectrum of styles and influences covered."
BioKanye West
"I'm depressed," says Kanye West.
Strange, perhaps, for a 28-year-old who is arguably the most important creative force in hip-hop music today, recently named to Time Magazine's list of the 100 most influential people in the world, but West -- the perpetual underdog -- is still fighting for his life, currently pitched in heated battle with the latest 800-pound gorilla in the corner: Himself. "It's hard when people are depending on you to have an album that's not just good, but inspired," continues West. "I mean, my music isn't just music -- it's medicine. I want my songs to touch people, to give them what they need. Every time I make an album, I'm trying to make a cure for cancer, musically. That stresses me out!"
If "Diamonds from Sierra Leone," the stunning first single from Late Registration, Kanye's forthcoming sophomore effort on Roc-A-Fella Records, is any indication, the gorilla should be stressed.
"Diamonds" is signature Kanye West: Over a heavy groove and sped-up soul sample, courtesy of Shirley Bassey's classic "Diamonds Are Forever," Kanye's unusual, conversational flow sounds sharper than ever, weaving his offbeat witticisms into a paean, a love-letter for The R.O.C. Sweeping and cinematic, the track's rich instrumentation -- a product of his collaboration with producer-extraordinaire Jon Brion -- and dense subject matter is a unexpected first look into West's new project. And he wouldn't have it any other way.
Kanye West -- the self-proclaimed "International Asshole" -- has been inviting, confronting, and overcoming challenge since the beginning.
No matter who you are or where you lived in 2004 -- if you owned a radio, television, computer or CD player, you felt Kanye West's presence. Since the release of his 3 million selling, critically acclaimed-debut The College Dropout, the Chicago-born 27 year old rapper/producer/hip-hop icon has been at the top of the charts and at the top of his game. From the red carpet of the 47th Grammys -- where he topped all nominees with a historic ten nods and took home awards for Best Rap Album, Best Rap Song and Best R&B song -- to the millions of albums sold, a sold-out stadium tour with Usher, and his ubiquitous presence on MTV, BET, CNN, and radio stations nationwide, West grew from being an artist to watch to an artist you experience.

Lebanese Central Bank. (The Daily Star)
LONDON: Lebanon, rated B1/B/B, is planning to raise $1 billion through an increase of its outstanding 2023 and 2027 Eurobonds, according to one of the lead managers.
The sovereign has released yield guidance of 6.1-6.2 percent for a $500 million tap of its 6 percent notes due Jan. 27, 2023, and of 6.6-6.75 percent for a $500 million increase of its 6.75 percent notes due Nov. 29, 2027.
The name of the lead manager was no disclosed.
The transaction would bring the total outstanding on each note to $1 billion.
Fransa Invest Bank, Natixis and Standard Chartered are joint bookrunners on the deal, which they are expected to price Thursday afternoon.
The caretaking Cabinet has the power to swap maturing Eurobonds and Treasury bills with new ones but is not authorized to borrow money above the official ceiling.
Central Bank Governor Riad Salameh recently said that Lebanon was capable of financing all its needs thanks to excessive cash of the Lebanese commercial banks.
The country will not have any problems financing the public debt until the end of 2013, according to experts.
However, many Lebanese bankers told The Daily Star that they were not prepared to lend the state more money in the future unless they saw concrete steps to implement reforms, cut waste in public departments, combat corruption and allow the private sector to take part in mega-infrastructure projects such as the construction of new electricity plans. – With IFR

Senior Pastor
Reverend Dr. William H. Curtis Senior Pastor of Mt. Ararat Baptist Church, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
A native of Baltimore, Maryland, Reverend Curtis accepted a call to ministry at the age of 17. He possesses a bachelor of Arts Degree in Religious Studies and Philosophy from Morgan State University, a Master of Divinity Degree from the Howard University School of Divinity, and a Doctor of Ministry Degree from the United Theological Seminary in Dayton, OH. Dr. Curtis' commitment to excellence through education is directly attributable to his capabilities, not only as an anointed preacher of the gospel, but also an effective teacher in practical instruction.
In 1997, Reverend Curtis was called to Mt. Ararat Baptist Church in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Since Dr. Curtis' arrival at Mt. Ararat, the church has grown from 400 to over 7500 with four worship services each weekend. His ministry has led to several landmark events at Ararat, including the formation of a Community Development Corporation to minister to the greater Pittsburgh area and the liquidation of the church mortgage in a one-day "Harvest Sunday" offering. He implemented a community tithe program which returns over 10% of the congregation's offering to the community.
Dr. Curtis has emerged as one of the well-known, spirit-filled preachers of our time. His spiritual wisdom and influence has earned him participation in a nation "think-tank" with former President Clinton, inclusion in a book title "Outstanding Black Sermons, Volume Four" edited by Dr. Walter S. Thomas, and the opportunity to minister in a multiplicity of political and community forum throughout the City of Pittsburgh.
Pastor Curtis serves on the Board of the Urban League of Pittsburgh, is a member of the African American Leadership Committee and serves as the President of Hampton University Ministers' Conference.
In 2001, Dr. Curtis founded William H. Curtis Ministries in an effort to expand his ministry throughout the United States and abroad. Reverend Curtis' spiritual burden to bring lost souls to Christ and encourage spiritual maturation and intimacy with God drives his commitment to spreading the gospel whenever the opportunity presents itself. Pastor Curtis' anointed, powerful, and life applicable preaching exemplifies that well know scripture, "well done, good and faithful servant".
Reverend Curtis is married to the former Christine Y. Richardson, and they are the proud parents of one lovely daughter, Houston.

Chad Valley – Fall 4 U
Coming from his recently released album, the first single Fall 4 U is another irresistible downtempo electropop track with a fine touch of mainstream cheesiness.
Hugo Manuel initially started in a band, before going on to record as a solo artist under the name of Chad Valley. While being signed to a record label in the US, he sneakily leaked a couple of dreamy electropop demos of his first EP to the web. This resulted in a buzz on the web with several prestigious music blogs (unfortunately, Glitch Magazine wasn't up at the time!) writing about him. The rest is history, basically. He's only just released his new album Young Hunger with Fall 4 U featuring female singer Glasser being the album's main single. And if you're looking for a different version of the song, check out the slightly more uptempo Lissvik remix.

CORALVILLE, Iowa A 24-year-old Coralville man was arrested over the weekend on suspicion of stabbing his mother "multiple times" and then hiding in a nearby shed.
Officers found Philippe Diamitani hiding in a shed behind a house near the one he shares with his mother at 2002 North Ridge Drive in Coralville, according to a news release. Police had been called to the home at 11:45 p.m. Saturday and found a woman with stab wounds in her left shoulder and left hand, according to a criminal complaint.
The woman told police that Diamitani, her son, was to blame and that he fled the scene, officers reported. Upon further investigation, they found a set of footprints in the snow near the home.
A K9 officer led investigators across multiple yards and over a fence to an area near a shed in the backyard of another house, according to a news release. Investigators opened one of the shed doors and spotted the legs of a person who was hiding, they reported.
Diamitani was ordered out of the shed and taken into custody. He faces charges of domestic abuse assault causing bodily injury, a serious misdemeanor, and willful injury causing injury, a felony.
A police report for the incident indicates the mother was taken to the hospital for treatment, but her current condition is not known.
Iowa City police helped in the investigation.
Diamitani is being held in lieu of a $10,000 bond at the Johnson County Jail.
Diamitani's criminal history in the area includes an assault causing bodily injury conviction in Linn County in 2010 and an open theft case in Johnson County from Dec. 12.

Thanks so much for sharing this great trip with beautiful updates and the personal touch you gave it with impressions from places seen and experiences you had. As someone once told me "You will never be the same" - in a good way, meaning you will never see the world as you did before this trip and you are now a much better person with all the experience from the trip.
If your plans are to start your return to Romania now, here's to a safe and easy return home and hope you will post more updates when you can on how the return trip to Bucharest went!
I hope to maybe meet you one day on my own world tour, stopping where once was my home, city of Bucharest.
Kindest regards,
I have personal opinions, but don't agree with them.

First days in Bolivia: 10 12 January 2013
After the short step forward from the storyline with the 3rd of February post, it is time to get back to the present time of our story and that present means the border between Peru and Bolivia.
As I was riding towards the Bolivian border I remembered something the guide at Machu Picchu told me: the Incas had 3 main laws:
-not to lie
-not to steal
-not to be lazy
The leaders would make sure that, at least, the 3rd law would be obeyed so they tried to keep the Quechua people busy all the time. Why? Simple reason: Inca believed that if people are busy working they wont have time to plot against their leaders or rebel. Its ironic how sometimes the ancient wisdom gets lost with the years. Long time after the Inca empire, Peru and Bolivia (old Inca territories) had only a few years of peace and tranquility since gaining their independence from the Spanish. I was reading somewhere that during 200 years after Bolivia gained it`s independence there have been more than 200 government overthrows, riots, military insurrection and other types of armed rebellions. Peru had a little bit more peace but not by much. That makes you wonder
But let`s get into Bolivia. The border crossing goes smooth and fast. The border we cross it`s not so used, they had the barrier on most of the time.
The Bolivian authorities are very friendly and try to give us all sorts of recommendations. We are almost surprised that we are talking to them for more than 20 minutes and they don`t ask us THE question, a question we got used to hear in Peru and that started almost every conversation we`ve had with a Peruvian: How much does the motorcycle costs?. They seem to care a lot about this aspect here. I don`t feel at ease when I am asked how much my motorcycle is worth. I cannot understand in which way knowing how much I payed for Gunnar, in another country, from another continent, will help these guys. We almost leave the border when the guardian cannot hold it anymore and pops the question: Buuuut, how much does the motorcycle cost?. Uh, so we will get that question here to. Hmm we need to find a way to avoid a direct answer to this. But until then, welcome to Bolivia!
We spent the first Bolivian night in Copacabana. Not the one by the ocean, where Portuguese is spoken but Copacabana by Lake Titicaca, where luckily for us Spanish is spoken (we need to get tarted on our Portuguese lessons).
There is a holiday feeling about it. Many foreign tourists,
but even more locals.
We try to sit aside and watch the crowd assaulting the cruise boats and all the other attractions by the lake.
Then we decide to go check out the market, where you can find everything
We say goodbye to Copacabana the next day and head to La Paz, not being the only ones waking up early.
As we are still on an island we have to get to a ferry, time for another interesting experience.
Before getting on one of the wood boats Andreea goes and asks one of the guys how much is a crossing for one motorcycle and two passengers. She is told it`s 10 bolivianos. That`s fine. Let`s do it.
As we were crossing the lake I watch patiently the two locals spitting sunflower seeds and throwing all sorts of garbage in the lake. Being in a foreign country and a meager tourist, for sure it was not my place to say anything so I just stood there and observed. But I could not help thinking how illogical their gesture was. We saw the same attitude in the Danube Delta, when a local guide we hired for a boat ride, casually threw the beer bottle he just finished (during his working hours) in the Danube. Leaving ethics and other ecology-related arguments aside . their actions are nonsense from a pure economic point of view as well. The main source of income for this touristy places is well the land mark that is the attraction for the tourists. So tourists come to these places for the Danube Delta, or Titicaca Lake or the mountains and so on. Simple logic or even selfishness should tell them that they should take good care of the landmarks that bring the tourists (and money) to their area. So why on Earth would you work on cutting the branch from underneath your feet by throwing trash everywhere? And then, one day, they end up asking themselves why the tourists aren`t coming anymore to visit their wonderful natural wonders. Hmmm, I should stop watching these two men spitting sunflower seeds in their golden geese. Titicaca is an extremely beautiful place. Still.
Oh well, so here we are on the other side, same gentleman that kept spitting sunflower seeds in the lake the whole trip, comes to me asking for 20 bolivianos. How does that work, it was 10 on the other side and now it`s 20? Damn inflation Here`s 10, that was the deal and I wish you good luck with everything!
I am walking to my motorcycle that was already off the boat and the man keeps following me, desperately asking for 20 bolivianos. I explain to him once more, in Spanish, that he was the the very one telling Andreea that the crossing is 10 and there is absolutely no reason for the price to double now. For a few moments he cannot find an argument about the doubling of the price but then he quickly recovers: OK, then give me 15! Now I am shut, trying to figure out his reasoning.
No, it will not be 15 neither, it will be 10, like youve said on the other side. And really now, good bye, have a nice day And without waiting for another bargain I leave. Andreea is depressed by this approach of the men at the crossing and lake Titicaca seems to follow her mood as it gets darker and rainy. It was not about the extra 5 or 10 bolivianos. It was about the general approach they had to foreign people and the way they thought appropriate to "milk" them. And I still think that the only appropiate way to deal with that is trying to outplay their "game" and doing it with a smile and without taking it personal.
Until now, we were running on gasoline from Peru in our tank (90 octanes European measurement standard). But the tank was getting empty so it was time to go to our first Bolivian gas station. I must admit that I didn`t do my homework regarding this aspect. But I knew that foreigners have to pay more for gas than the locals. So here I am at the first gas station. Silly me, asking them for premium gas. The lady looks at me compassionately. We only have one type of gas. Very well, what`s the octane number? She is shrugging her shoulders, as if trying to tell me If I`m telling you we only have one type of gas, why are you asking me more questions? You will anyway have to get this one since there is nothing else.
I agree to her unspoken reasoning so I ask her to fill up the tank (praying for that gas to have at least 87 octanes on European standard measurement). Just when I thought that octane number would be my main worry, here come another one. I would have to worry for not being a Bolivian. Of course I am not, I from another place, far far away. But I want to think that I am a nice guy, so could you please help my by giving me some gas so I can be on my way, visiting your wonderful country?. Well, then I cannot sell you any gas. How come? There is a different (higher) price for you and I would have to give you a different receipt. Aaaaah, Ok so lets do that? I don`t have that type of receipt. Oh, really . and if I am running out of gas? There goes another useless question from my side. I am looking at the sign displaying the international price, asking myself what is the real reason that stops me from filling up my tank, is it the lack of special receipt or the lack of willingness to do the extra effort to fill the dreaded thing?
And I feel bad about it, I feel like asking a favor or for pity, and that is not OK. Fortunately we still have enough gas to take us closer to La Paz where we manage to find another gas station, get some gas seasoned with some kind of unfriendly looks, for 3 times the normal price. Get my 2 receipts. One for supporting the gas station and the other for supporting the state. But no problem, the bright side of things is that we can move on. Life is good, even if this time we had to pay triple for that.
But rules are meant to be obeyed. I know that they have this rules in an attempt to stop trafficking of Bolivian subsidized gasoline to neighboring countries. But I think it would be easy to recognize that this measure should not be applied to tourists, especially when they just want to buy 15 liters of gas for their motorcycle. In Ecuador and Venezuela gas is subsidized but somehow they managed to avoid annoying the visitors with such laws. Anyway, these are just random thoughts while I store my receipts away. We are not here to judge, it is better to just enjoy the places we see and people we meet.
Now our tank is full and we are ready to head towards the capital of Bolivia. Did I say we were ready? No, we were not. I don`t know if it was because of the rain, the mud or both, but it seemed to us like we were crossing into a chaotic world, and traffic didn`t seem to obey any rules. Cars coming in and out of the main road without signals, without looking left or right and apparently we are always the ones that did not had the right of passage, as everybody else seemed to just ignore our presence and continued on their path counting on us to stop and give way, even if we were on the main road. And dont even get me started on the round-abouts
Unfinished buildings shine in the mud puddles. Extravagant (wannabe) houses next to humble abodes barely rising out from rubble and garbage.
We know we are not doing the right thing, for sure there are nice places in La Paz but we decide not to stop here even before reaching the city center. We need a break from civilization and urban. We follow the road to Oruro and leave the capital city as fast as we can. We regret not spending at least one day here. But we didn`t have anything booked, didn`t know anything about hotels or other details (safe neighborhoods and so on) and we just got soften up by the size of the city and the crazy traffic. So one last picture from the steets and of we go towards Oruro.
Bolivia is a pretty large country. But the geographic location and lack of funds makes the number of paved roads quite low. Actually, there is a list on the internet. And you can count on your fingers the paved roads listed there. This can be a good thing as many of the amazing places in Bolivia remain like that exactly because the only way to get there is on a dirt road. But, we try to stay on the main paved roads. And still get to discover a lot of beautiful places.
We enjoy Bolivia. We want to enjoy Bolivia. But in order to fully appreciate it, we have to get used very fast to some different approaches and communications patterns. Let`s see if we can adapt.

In Fairbanks I met some Colombians telling me no way I would be able to travel safely on THAT MOTORCYCLE (my '07 R1200GS) to their country implying it was too nice to be safe (for bike and myself)
I enjoy your travel story allot, I think you were a little biased because of the ferry crossing/price gauging, but hey I would have been too and that makes it real.
I have personal opinions, but don't agree with them.

As for the "standard" question... I have to say that we never felt threatened or anything like that. I think it is more of a cultural thing in Peru in Bolivia... people just want to know how much things costs. Even the policeman who stopped us after Machu Picchu asked the same question. As for the answer... I was saying at the beginning a small number (having the same reasoning like you mentioned, not to make the bike too atractive), but then one guy just told meh, yeah? if it costs only 3000 US$ I will buy it from you. Hmm that made us reconsider and Andreea came up with other idea: we should tell them that we are just married for 1 year and the moto was a wedding present. The first part is true but the second one is a lie of course, But in this way we didn't gave up any number and most of the time the guy who was asking became very sensitive and supportive of the idea. So here you go, problem solved :)
As for Bolivia, to be honest, we took it as it came. The ferry crossing event was in retrospective more funny than upsetting. The gasoline issue though (and we kept having them) was kind of an anyoance and I am afraid I will rant about it in the next episodes also. But I am trying to be honest and depict our state of minds at the time of the story. :) Anyway, in the end, I have to say that Bolivia was a tremendous nice experience. And I am very happy that we took the decision not to skip it. It is just that next time I would visit it with a bicycle and just camping :) But that's another story :P

This morning we woke up and there was a lot of fresh snow on the mountains surrounding the city. Ha, and it's supposed to be summer here. We decided to take a "vacation from the vacation" for 10 days and that means no internet, e-mail or phone until February 17.
See you on the other side :)

Andy Cohen joins 'Shahs of Sunset' star Reza Farahan's #PutAMustacheOnIt movementAdd to Favorites | Shahs of Sunset
Andy Cohen on WhoSay
Bravo's "Shahs of Sunset" star Reza Farahan is known for his mouth and the facial hair just above it. And Farahan and his mustache have started a movement to add his signature 'stache to everything and everyone -- even "Watch What Happens Live" host Andy Cohen is in on it, posting a photo of himself with the mustache on WhoSay.com Thursday (March 29).
Cohen wrote that he got inspired to #PutAMustacheOnIt after watching Farahan's mustache rant (below -- but Farahan's got a mouth on him, so the language is NSFW).
#PutAMustacheOnIt even has its own Tumblr, which features mustaches on everything from babies to a can of Diet Dr Pepper.
Have you #PutAMustacheOnIt yet?

JEE Mains 2013 is the new alternative introduced by the Ministry of Human Resources and Development taking into consideration the number of exams a student has to take in order to get an admission into a premier engineering institute in India. So replacing the many individual engineering entrances, MHRD has come up with this solution of having a common national level entrance test to get admission into engineering and it has been named ISEET 2013. It primarily consists of two phases, the JEE Main 2013 and the JEE Advanced 2013. A little over 1,50,000 students who do good in JEE Main 2013 will be eligible to take part in JEE Advanced 2013. The initial exam of ISEET 2013 is conducted by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE). The JEE Advanced 2013 will be conducted by the consortium of IITs. The CBSE Board has made it clear that JEE Main 2013 will have no tie break conditions as they don't want to deprive any worthy student from his chance to give JEE Advanced 2013 for mere tie break choices.

Several workers and residents in the mining town of Yekepa, Nimba County, have expressed disgust over the attitude of ArcelorMittal by refusing to renovate houses in the area. Instead, they have brought in containers for expatriates to dwell.
A reporter who visited the area last week was told. Many of the workers said, "the company is not contemplating on renovating the already existing houses, but they are more interested in getting containers here for their foreign staff to live in."
They said, as a result of this, when the company is done with extracting the iron ore, they will take the containers and place same on ship to a different country, thus leaving the place undeveloped.
Many persons who visited or lived in pre-war Yekepa, Northern Liberia were happy, when Arcelor Mittal, in 2007 were given the green light to operate Mount Nimba, formerly operated by Liberia America Mining Company -LAMCO.
But as it appears, their expectations about the rehabilitation of Yekepa, which lies near the Guinean border, have been dashed as ArcelorMittal is yet to bring Yekepa to its pre-war status. A visit by the writer of this story last week showed that many parts of the city are gradually turning into forest. Huge structures and residential complexes, which once added to the beauty of the mountainous town, are left unattended to in the bush.
The community which hosts the popular African Bible College University (ABC) lacks basic social services like running water and electricity in many parts.
Some workers and staff's quarters are yet to be renovated by Arcelor Mittal after nearly six years of operations.
Wild grass has taken over many streets, including Yekepa's principal streets.
The economic situation in the area is discouraging as many residents told this reporter.
They told the reporter that the company is only concern about shipping its ores from Yekepa.
"This is not good at all. We had anticipated that by this company coming, we would have things changed around. But that is not the case," one resident, Anthony said.
The company recently announced that its operations in Liberia shipped about 3 million tons of iron ore from Jan 1 to Aug 8, 2013.
It was almost double the shipment registered in the same period a year ago. The company shipped 516,000 tons of iron ore in the month of Jul 2013 which nearly tripled from 175,138 tons shipped in Jul 2012.
The improvements in Liberia operations led to the increased shipments. The main contribution came from the ability to carry out trans-shipment in the dry season. A smaller vessel is loaded for three or four rotations during trans-shipment, transmitting up to 60,000 tons of ore to Cape-size ocean going vessels of up to 200,000 tons.
The ore is then transported to customers in Europe and China. ArcelorMittal has already shipped 3 million tons of ore in 2013 and remains on track to produce 4.5 million tons in 2013.
Despite the quantity of iron ores being shipped from Nimba County, most roads across the county lie in ruin. Road connecting the mining town to other communities in Nimba County lies in ruin, with countless potholes. It was observed that most of the towns near the concession areas are without functional schools and clinics.
When this reporter contacted an official at the Public Affairs department in Yekepa, he was told that the person responsible for comment was not available to react. In Monrovia, he called the office for comment, there was no one available as the phone rang.

Alfa Romeo Automobiles S.p.A. which is commonly known as the Alfa Romeo. The brand Alfa Romeo was founded by Alexandre Darracq Stella and Nicola Romeo. The company din't tasted the success in its early stage. Sicnce February 2007 this brand is under the Fiat Group. As an part of rebuilding the company has just launched its masterpiece which is known as the Alfa Romeo 4C. The Car at first glance looks just awesome. And the expectation of Alfa Romeo from 4C is also been high. The Alfa Romeo 4C is also launched in U.S. We have to just wait and see if this masterpiece leaves upto its expectation or not.
The Alfa Romeo logo is undoubtedly one of the most iconic car logos in history. It has undergone several changes throughout the years. The earliest logo of the company appeared in 1910, but not much is known about its exact origins. It is widely considered that the badge represents the coat of arms of the Visconti family (one of the most powerful and esteemed families of Milan) and the Red cross on a white background of Milan.
According to an urban legend, a serpent was seen in the 5th century AD that persistently terrified the people of Milan. It was hunted and killed by an archbishop of Milan named Ottone Visconti. The serpent wearing a crown is said to be a celebration of this brave act. The red cross on a white background, on the other hand, typifies the heroics of Giovanni Da Rio, the first person to mount the walls of Jerusalem and raise a cross there during the first crusade.

I know that there are several factors that would go into it but just an estimate for when it would be acceptable to try it. I have been training jui jitsu for about 2 months and don't have any prior wrestling experience. I did some martial arts as a teenager for about 2 years. I am 6'5 and weigh 220. My guess is 1-2 years. Anybody have any ideas or know someone that has done it sooner. I want to set some goals for myself and just want to be realistic.

I've been speaking lately with folks from Spamhaus about anti spam measure in YOURLS and a YOURLS plugin for this. Currently the #1 result in Google for "spamhaus PHP" is a post on Lockergnome which gets it totally wrong and provides a script that does not work, so here is a PHP script that does work.
This script checks a URL (its domain part, in fact) against the 3 major black lists: Spamhaus, SURBL and URIBL.
The script:
- /**
- * Check a URL against the 3 major blacklists
- *
- * @param string $url The URL to check
- * @return mixed true if blacklisted, false if not blacklisted, 'malformed' if URL looks weird
- */
- function ozh_is_blacklisted( $url ) {
- $parsed = parse_url( $url );
- if( !isset( $parsed['host'] ) )
- return 'malformed';
- // Remove www. from domain (but not from www.com)
- $parsed['host'] = preg_replace( '/^www\.(.+\.)/i', '$1', $parsed['host'] );
- // The 3 major blacklists
- $blacklists = array(
- 'zen.spamhaus.org',
- 'multi.surbl.org',
- 'black.uribl.com',
- );
- // Check against each black list, exit if blacklisted
- foreach( $blacklists as $blacklist ) {
- $domain = $parsed['host'] . '.' . $blacklist . '.';
- $record = dns_get_record( $domain );
- if( count( $record ) > 0 )
- return true;
- }
- // All clear, probably not spam
- return false;
- }
- if( ozh_is_blacklisted( $url ) ) {
- // do something brutal (eg die() your script, yell at user, etc...)
- }
- // all is fine *for today*, do your regular stuff.
- // This said, it'd be nice to recheck every couple of days
Feel free to steal.

Daniel Johnson, Jr. » It is. Check the official plugin list

Great work. But Spamhaus says you need to reverse the IP, I don't see where your code does that. (FYI: http://www.spamhaus.org/faq/section/DNSBL%20Usage#252) Also, ZEN checks the PBL which should not be used to determine if an IP address belongs to a spammer. The query result needs to be parsed to see if the IP is on the SBL or XBL only.

JP » Yep you're right. I should update the code. Fancy doing it? :)
replied, on 27/Dec/12 at 10:19 pm # :
I'm not familiar with SURBL and URIBL, but I'll try. I'll focus on Spamhaus because I was already working on a MyBB plugin for it. It will take a few days, in the meantime here's how to take the IP and reverse it for Spamhaus:
- $revIP = implode(".", array_reverse(explode(".", "192.168.2.1"))) . ".zen.spamhaus.org";
commented, on 28/Dec/12 at 4:55 pm # :
OK, I might be wrong but it may have been easier than I thought. Spamhaus and URIBL both return 127.0.0.2 if the IP address is on their blacklist. I'm not sure about SURBL but it may be the same. I was not able to test this. Could you test and let me know?
- function is_blacklisted($ip) {
- $blacklists = getblacklistproviders();
- foreach($blacklists as $blacklist) {
- $url = buildurl($ip, $blacklist);
- $record = dns_get_record($url);
- if ($record === "127.0.0.2") {
- return true;
- }
- }
- return false;
- }
- function getblacklistproviders() {
- // add providers here
- return array(
- 'zen.spamhaus.org',
- 'multi.surbl.org',
- 'multi.uribl.com'
- );
- }
- function buildurl($ip, $blacklistprovider) {
- return implode(".", array_reverse(explode(".", $ip))) . $blacklistprovider;
- }
commented, on 28/Dec/12 at 5:14 pm # :
JP » The thing is, except Spamhaus, I don't think you're supposed to reverse IPs, yet your code does it for all providers :)
wrote, on 28/Dec/12 at 6:10 pm # :
Ozh, you have to reverse IP for all three.
said, on 28/Dec/12 at 7:47 pm # :
JP » Oh yeah, sorry, I mixed up things. Your script is very fine for checking IPs (like, before accepting mail for instance) but this doesn't work well for web spam since a domain can be blacklisted (evil.com) but the IP it's hosted on can be clear (18.104.22.168 shared hosting with lots of clean sites), or the other way round
wrote, on 15/Jul/13 at 4:26 am # :
So, i've reinstalled my yourls site, and found i needed a spam filter after only a day. HOWEVER, when i try to use this plugin, it blocks EVERYTHING.
i've not been able to post a single site that would get shortened. I leave it on and only turn it off when I want to post a link, but it prevents any legitimate posts from going though in the meantime. Any word on this?

The family of Stanley Rosinski Sr. sadly said goodbye to him on Monday, December 26, 2011, two days before he would have celebrated his 65th Wedding Anniversary with his loving and devoted wife, Dorothy Boissonneault Rosinski. His family meant the world to him and he will be missed beyond words.
Stan was born on December 8, 1924, in Claremont, NH, and was predeceased by his parents, Joseph & Maria Rosinski and five brothers and one sister.
He is survived by his wife Dorothy Rosinski of Swanzey, NH, his children, Anthony Rosinski of Keene, NH, Marianne & Frank Sanders of Putney, VT, Michele & Richard Eaton of Duvall, WA, Charles Rosinski of Seattle, WA, Joseph Rosinski of Haines, Alaska, Sandra Rosinski & Joan Hudson of Fairview, NC, Catherine & Raymond Perry of Swanzey, NH and Stanley Rosinski Jr. of Margate, FL, as well as ten grandchildren and eight great grandchildren.
After retiring from 30 years in the banking industry, he enjoyed spending time with his family and playing golf. He was a World War II veteran who proudly served in The Battle of The Bulge and earned both a Purple Heart and Silver Star. He once told his family that the Christmas holidays always brought back memories of friends made, friends lost, the cold fox holes, the sadness of war, but also the blessings of life.
He touched the lives of many people with his warm smile and generosity, and maintained his trademark sense of humor to the end.
There will be a celebration of his life on Friday, December 30, at 11:00 AM at St. Joseph's Church in Claremont, NH, where he once served as an altar boy. His good friend, Rev. Father Stanley J. Piwowar will officiate.
In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate contributions to St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital, which was Stanley's favorite charity.

Djamshed Usmonov is the director from Tajikistan whose 2002 movie Angel on the Right was a tremendous drama about a hoodlum lured back to his home village because his mother is sick - and he thinks he might be able to make some money on her house. His latest film, made in 2006, has also been much admired on the festival circuit, but I felt ambivalent about it. Khurshed Golibekov plays Kamal, a 19-year-old boy who has got married but cannot consummate the union. So he visits his worldly cousin, who advises him to get loads of extra-curricular sexual experience. This involves an encounter with a lonely, enigmatic woman called Vera (Dinara Drukarova), whose estranged gangster husband leads Kamal into a terrifying situation. The look and feel of the movie is involving, especially the cool, controlled way Usmonov allows the story to develop without forcing the pace. Unfortunately, the ending is unconvincing in human terms, and even rather questionable. We are asked to believe that a horrendous act of violence can be perpetrated without any discernible effect on the perpetrator, and that this violence can be a sort of sentimental education and even a cure for erectile dysfunction. Does killing make you a real man? This left a curious taste in my mouth.
