The worrying reality for clubs in the transfer mkt
The problem created by some big clubs who offer excessive wages to unproven youngsters.
Clubs like Arsenal want to live within their means but it's impossible to do so when you have others offering silly money to entice their players.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
slayer, clubs pinch as much as they can from fans, so they can hardly complain when players & agents do the same.
isnt it up to a club if they want to take a gamble & offer excessive wages on unproven youngsters? sometimes it pays off & sometimes it doesnt. no one is forcing them to take this risk.
for example utd can offer pogba more money or let him go.
they have decided he isnt worth more money & are letting him go.
theres no problem.
as for arsenal not being able to offer silly money to players-
u do realise u have players like djour, almunia, bendtner etc on around 50k. if u didnt over pay the squad players, u could easily afford to give better players more money.

"if u didnt over pay the squad players, u could easily afford to give better players more money."
I agree 100% Layla.
I posted a thread about the same issue few weeks ago.
LOL. Arsenal can't compete for unproven youngsters? They need a level playing field so they can pinch players no-one has ever heard of from little clubs?
That's the funniest thing I've heard since Butch's last cockup.

Just to clarify.......... 'unproven' at the highest level, e.g. Scott Sinclair, Adam Johnson, Pogba, Morrison, Pique, Rossi, Kevin Prince Boateng, etc, aforementioned players were unproven when their former clubs either didn't enter a bidding war to out-do other rich interested sides or sold or released these youngsters.

Hopkins-Cleverly The Summer Target For Frank Warren
Promoter Frank Warren hopes to set Nathan Cleverly up with a big summer bout against Bernard Hopkins in Cardiff.
Welshman Cleverly successfully defended his WBO light-heavyweight title on Saturday night by beating Tommy Karpency on points.
Warren would like his next outing to be at London's Royal Albert Hall in April - the venue's first professional boxing bill for 10 years - but a megafight with American veteran Hopkins is where big money could be made.
The Caerphilly fighter, who completely outclassed Karpency in Cardiff en route to a unanimous decision from the judges, has already spoken of his desire to move on to a big unification fight, with the winner of the April 28 WBC title clash between Chad Dawson and Hopkins top of the agenda.
While Warren is looking to put that contest on at the Millennium Stadium or Cardiff City Stadium, he has also revealed he hopes the Welshman will defend his belt in London, also on April 28.
Warren said: "Nathan is coming on in leaps and bounds and all our attention will now of course turn to April 28 and the Bernard Hopkins v Chad Dawson fight, then we will be making a big decision about a fight in the summer.
"In the meantime I have the Royal Albert Hall booked for April 28.
"I don't know if Nathan will be ready for that but I would not mind him being the guy to take boxing back there.
"There has been no professional boxing there for many, many years, it is probably the best venue in the country, the most prestigious venue and you could not get a better representative for British boxing than Nathan, to showcase taking professional boxing back there."
As for a potential summer stadium bout in south Wales, which would hark back to the glory days of former super-middleweight king Joe Calzaghe, Warren says his preferred opponent for such a contest is Hopkins, and
defeat to Dawson would not rule the veteran American out of facing Cleverly.
He said: "For me the best fight for Nathan would be Hopkins.
"I have a feeling Dawson may upset the odds when they face each other, he will give him a lot of problems, but I would prefer Hopkins.
"He is a big name, he had a good fight with Joe Calzaghe and if we brought him over and did that show at Cardiff City Stadium or the Millennium Stadium, it would be a great atmosphere with maybe 50,000 people in there.
"Nathan needs big fights, he rises to them and he has great temperament."
Cleverly, whose victory extended his 100 per cent record to 24 wins from 24 fights, said he would gladly accept the chance to fight Hopkins, and also suggested he would be ready to fight again on Warren's mooted Royal Albert Hall date.
"I want to go and get a few more fights as champion to keep learning about being world champion," he said. "This wasn't a brutal fight so I will be fine for April, it will be good to keep active."
He added: "I think I am ready to be unified champ.
"Hopkins and Dawson are the elite guys in the division, if you want to be the best those are guys you have to head for.
"I think I will be ready by the summer, if the opportunity came I would grab it with both hands and feel I could win the fight.
"Hopkins is a legend of the sport, an icon in the division, he has that aura. The fans showed their support by coming out tonight and I am sure that would be a good fight."

I have not used the mold yet. Does anyone have a recipe for Melt and Pour that they can give to me to use with this mold Please? I a just getting started in soap making and I did not see this and a few other molds that I bought in a melt and pour kit, so I just bought the molds hoping that I could find the recipes and everything else that I need on here somewhere. I would appreciate any help that comes my way. Thanks in advance.
This mold is great! I used it for some M&P soaps with the Color Block- Shimmer Black (Luster Black) and it looks great! Way cuter in Luster black than the brown example lol

Extending OpenOffice.org
Microsoft has been quite successful with pushing its SharePoint technology as a means for supporting document collaboration and version control. Until now, no direct competitors have come up with a viable alternative to SharePoint, but O3Spaces is about to change that.
Although the O3Spaces Work place collaboration software doesn't attempt to emulate SharePoint feature-by-feature, it does provide a viable alternative [1]. Two features of O3Spaces make it especially useful for mixed environments. First, O3Spaces Workplace does support the Microsoft Office suite, which is a boon for companies and workgroups that use MS Office and OpenOffice. Second, O3Spaces Workplace's competitive pric ing makes it an attractive alternative, even for shops running only Microsoft Office. The O3Spaces company has even pledged to release an open-source edition of their document collaboration solution by the end of 2007. Installation Options O3Spaces Workplace installs in three ways. The easiest way is to download a VMware virtual machine trial from O3Spaces' website. The image includes a slimmed-down version of Ubuntu with the pre-configured version of the O3Spaces Workplace software. This so lution is perfect if you want to try O3Spaces without fiddling with installa tion and configuration – provided you have hardware that is powerful enough to run the virtual machine. The full ver sion of O3Spaces Workplace comes as a Workspace Deployment Kit containing a set of scripts and server packages that you can use to install O3Spaces on your own server. O3Spaces Workplace is writ ten in Java, and it's based on the Tom cat/ PostgreSQL stack, so you have to in stall these components on your server to deploy O3Spaces. You can instead opt for a Linux distribution that includes O3Spaces. For example, Mandriva and O3Spaces have made a deal to distribute the software with Mandriva's Corporate Server 4 and Mandriva Linux Powerpack+ 2007 Spring. Finally, O3Spaces is available as an easy-to-use installer package for the Windows platform.

In a conference call this morning, the Big Ten Conference announced that their presidents prefer the "status quo" over a four-team college football playoff.
"If the Big Ten presidents were to vote today, we would vote for the status quo," Nebraska chancellor Harvey Perlman said on the conference call. "We think it best serves college football. We think it best protects our student-athletes. I don't think any of us are anxious … to ask our student-athletes to play a 15th game."
Perlman and Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany also said that if changes are to be made to college football's postseason, they prefer a plus-one over a playoff. A plus-one would match the no. 1 and no. 2 teams against each other after the bowl games are complete.
What the plus-one would also do is protect the Big Ten's relationship with the Rose Bowl Game. That appears to be an issue that the conference is unwilling to waver from.
If the "status-quo" or plus-one are not selected, the Big Ten would consider a "four-team playoff, inside the bowls, that would preserve our connection to the Rose Bowl." But Delany did say they would want the four best teams rather than conference champions only, which he has suggested in the past.
Delany also said the criteria for selecting the playoff teams should include strength of schedule and some sort of reward for those that win their conference championship. Those details would have to be discussed and agreed upon, as would a selection committee for determining the four teams, which he is also in favor of.
Here is a quick look at the playoff positions of some of the major conferences in college football (from Big Lead Sports):
Big 12: The Big 12 wants a four-team playoff. They want no conference championship requirement. They prefer a selection committee.
Big Ten: The Big Ten is open to a playoff but wants a plus-one on the table. They would not be opposed to a system that respects conference championships. They favor a selection committee.
Pac-12: The Pac-12 has kept the plus-one on the table but is open to discussion. They want a conference champion requirement. They would prefer an objective formula but are willing to look at a selection committee.
SEC: The SEC wants a four-team playoff without a conference championship requirement. They want to improve the current formula but have not ruled out a selection committee.
No surprise the Big Ten tosses out an idea that's in its own best interest (preserve the bowls at all costs).
The current "formula" (the BCS rankings) sucks. A well-picked selection committee with guidelines is a good idea. They can take schedule strength and other factors into account while ignoring the polls bias and conflicts of interest built in. They can choose whether or not to rely on computer rankings whose formulas are unknown and unverifiable.
The sad thing is, a playoff with semifinals at campus sites right after the regular season conference championships would better allow conferences to preserve their relationships with bowls, as long as all of the four teams in the semifinals were allowed to go to a bowl game. After the semifinals, the best Big Ten and Pac-12 teams that aren't in the championship game meet in the Rose Bowl. Same for the Big 12 and SEC in whatever bowl they choose.
Is this not the conference that complained the loudest that the SEC had 2 teams in the championship last year? Status quo???? Give me a break
Chip,the saddest thing is the Big 10 itself
I do not like what the B10 or SEC say. It is the same ole political junk. I wish everything was decided on the field. No Polls, Computers or Selection Committees. Four 16 Team Conferences, those being the current SEC, B10, B12 and Pac12. The Conference Champion of each conference being decided in a Conference Championship Game. The Champion of each conference then competing in a 4-Team Playoff to decide the National Champion each year. Further more, these 64 Teams should police themselves and break off from the NCAA. The NCAA does not police anybody anymore and the smaller teams controll it to their own benefit. Let't cut all the crap that has been college football all these years and win the Championship all on the field.
Four 16 team conferences and they should break off from the NCAA? That is crazy! I don't like what the Big 10 is trying to do either saying that they prefer the status quo over a four team college football playoff. Keep the conferences the way that they are (of course, conference expansion will continue to happen and that's pretty sad if you ask me as true rivalries are ruined)… make a four team playoff. Agreed about there being no polls, computers or selection committees. If a mid major team is good enough in a certain year and there is a team in a major conference with one or two losses, then that mid major team should be one of the four teams in the playoff!
I do not expect agreement from any alumni or fans of any University outside of the 64 I allude to. I'm only interested in present BCS Teams. Let the smaller school Teams crown their own Champion, I don't care. The NCAA worries about those smaller teams and legislates in their favor. The NCAA is virtually powerless in everything else. The 64 Teams can organize and install strict enforcement within themselves, stricter than what is present now for sure. There is nothing crazy about this scenario. I've read it in bits and pieces all through the years. I think it is the future.
The Big Ten has been a thorn in my side for too long. Listen to what the nation's greatest conference (SEC) has to say, not what the nation's has-been conference (Big Ten) has to say.

Keeping warm
It's important to keep warm during cold weather, especially if you are chronically sick, disabled or elderly. Getting too cold can lead to hypothermia, a potentially life threatening condition.
You should be aware of the danger signs and what to do if you find someone who may have hypothermia. Find out about the danger signs at NHS Choices (see link below).
Keeping the heat in
Insulation and draught-proofing are the best ways to prevent the heat from escaping your home. It might not sound like much, but even hanging thick curtains or fitting keyhole covers, letterbox covers and draught excluders will stop the cold air from coming in and the warm air getting out.
Our free energy health check (see link below) will help you to see how you can save energy and money.
Power cuts
We do everything we can to make sure that your electricity is reliable, but sometimes power cuts happen. Keep a note of our telephone number, a torch and some candles and matches handy in case one happens. If your home loses power check whether neighbours are also affected and call your local electricity network for advice.
Running out of Pay As You Go credit
If you have a prepayment meter and you run out of credit, don't panic. We'll lend you £5 emergency credit until you get chance to top up.
You can only use your emergency credit once your pre-paid credit is at or is below 50p. When you want to use your emergency credit, insert your key into the meter. When using your emergency credit, the display on your meter changes to show the letter 'e'. It'll also show the amount of emergency credit left.
Extra help keeping warm
Most older people are eligible to receive a Winter Fuel Payment from the Government. The amount you receive depends on your circumstances, but will be between £100 - £300.
You may also qualify for the Warm Home Discount.
Help from other organisations
There are other organisations that can help you keep warm.
For instance, Home Heat Helpline is a free, independent service which can give you practical advice on your energy bills and keeping warm, and the Energy Saving Trust is an independent trust which has details on a variety of grants and schemes that could help you keep warm.

But it was all confusing since they visit twice every month on odd days and then would deliver 1 to 3 bottles each time at their own discretion. When i called the customer care, they were talking like robots telling the same thing over and over again.
Completely dissatisfied with the service, i called the CC and cancelled my service, and asked them to take back their cans so that i can pay the rest of the pending amount minus the initial charges for the cans. They refused and sent my bill to the collection agency.
I had to pay the collection agency more amount than my bill and both were rude in responding back.
I will never ever take their service once again!

10 Moves She's Begging You to Make During Foreplay
Like working out, sex can be bad—and possibly dangerous—if you haven't warmed up properly.
Look, we know you're desperate to get to the good stuff (trust us, so is she). But like that first minute on a roller coaster, foreplay can be an electric, exciting way to bring her higher and higher before taking the plunge.
9 Sex Positions That'll Get Her Off Every Time >>>
If you take the time and make the right moves, you'll find yourself loving the pre-game as much as you do the grand finale. But there's more to foreplay than just rounding the bases and heading home. We asked women to find out how to make foreplay creative and exciting—and the moves that leave them desperate for more.
"I love a dude who can communicate during foreplay. Moaning and groaning is cool, but dirty talk is fun for both parties, and typically you end up getting more of what you actually want in the bedroom when you can be vocal about it in a playful way. It's a great way to get me going." — Kelly, 26

What's the spread on today's table?
April 16, 2010
Uma Nair
A slew of ugly, volume-centric exhibitions of installations and sculptures, seen in Delhi over the past two months, threw up questions about the role of fabrication and the idea of an installation in sculptural practices. Ready-made units of a group of lanterns, a bottom-heavy human figure, a clichéd Durga on a tiger or a child on a dog do not make an installation or a sculpture. An installation when conceptualised must blow away all signs of production and invite contemplation.
Indian contemporary art: Young artists lay new foundations
March 11, 2010
Sharmistha Ray The art markets may have crashed following the financial debacle in autumn 2008, but that may turn out to be a good thing in the long run, especially for young artists. During the market's highs between 2006 and 2008, extrinsic, commercial values were completely out of sync with intrinsic, artistic ones. There was a lot of mediocrity, but people bought it anyway. Demand was way beyond anyone's control. Supply ballooned and the core quality of uniqueness that sets objects d'art apart from other commodities was a detail that was simply blotted out. There was an upside however: the top Indian contemporary artists finally had their heyday.
Get back to the drawing board
January 24, 2010
Sharmistha Ray
The gem-studded custom-made trumpet for Indian contemporary art couldn't have blown any louder than in 2007. Every major museum curator from Europe and Asia, and then slowly the US (which is always wary of new trends, unless its their own), graced India. These hungry seekers of art knowledge always travelled the same route, to the major art destinations of Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata and Bangalore, making gazillions of promises to artists along the way. The more adventurous ones made cursory trips to MS University Baroda, which was churning out art stars as fast as curators and galleries scooped them up. Francois Pinault, Charles Saatchi and Frank Cohen, behemoths of art collecting, added Indian artists to their roster.
Indian contemporary art: Major force on global canvas
January 24, 2010
Harsh Goenka
The last decade has been the most tumultuous for Indian contemporary art. The eighties and the nineties witnessed an unprecedented boom that lasted until almost two years ago, when the economic downturn and worldwide recession caused the inflated art balloon to burst with a spectacular bang. In retrospect, both the boom and bust did signal service to the cause of Indian contemporary art. I bought my first painting in 1983, when we moved into our Mumbai home. A friend, who did the interiors, urged me to acquire my first piece of contemporary art: a painting by MF Husain from his Mother Teresa series.
Art market set for uptrend

Nalini S Malaviya , ET Bureau
With the financial situation improving substantially, consumers are thronging restaurants, shopping malls and entertainment zones once again. Reports indicate that pay roll-backs and other salary cuts are slowly but surely being eased out. It therefore means that people are once again looking at luxury items in a bid to own the latest designer brands. The purchasing power of the urban middle income group is slowly coming back, and art as always is a huge status symbol and is therefore back on everyone's mind.

Management by brush stroke: Jitish Kallat

For Jitish Kallat, it must feel like life has come full circle. We're meeting him at Samovar café ? the long-standing spawning ground for great artists and stragglers alike ? attached to the Jehangir art gallery where Kallat's spectacular career as a contemporary Indian artist was launched. Twelve years later, sipping at the same ready chai that drew him here as a struggling student, 35 year-old Kallat is acknowledged as one of the most prominent artists of his generation, his works having found their way prodigiously into world-class public and private collections like those of MOCA-Los Angeles and those of Frank Cohen and Charles Saatchi.

The waters of the Pacific Northwest are home to some of the most unique and diverse marine creatures in the world, including rockfishes, greenlings and, of course, salmon. This full-colour brochure is packed with information on seventy-eight "must-have" common fishes of the Pacific Northwest. A Field Guide to Common Fish of the Pacific Northwest provides a succinct rundown on a huge variety of our fishy neighbours, and is an ideal guide for fishermen, divers and anyone interested in the marine life that fills our surrounding waters.
A Field Guide to Foraging for Wild Greens and Flowers pinpoints easy-to-find greens and flowers that many don't realize are edible--such as dandelion, clover, chicory, sheep's sorrel and lamb's quarters--and also introduces readers to the delicious leaves of such native plants as goldenrod and fireweed. And readers can also eat their way to conservation by enjoying edible invasive plants in salads, like garlic mustard and fennel. A lightweight pamphlet that will easily fit into a purse or back pocket, this laminated guide will turn every walk from the bus stop, backyard ramble or stroll around the neighbourhood into a fun foraging expedition.
Rich in nutrients, used in products from cosmetics to explosives to fertilizers, and vital to our coastal marine ecosystems, seaweeds can be found on any rocky shore or beach in the Pacific Northwest. The pocket-sized Field Guide to Seaweeds of the Pacifc Northwest is packed with full-colour photos and information on a select variety of the most important and interesting seaweeds commonly encountered on the West Coast. Whether you want to identify seaweeds, better understand their role in the ocean, forage for food, collect for art or you're just plain curious as you poke around the seashore, this educational guide is your ultimate source for casual phycological fun.
"We were wealthy from the water," Mitch Smallsalmon says, and like all the tribal elders, he speaks to our understanding of the natural world and the consequences of change. In this book the wisdom of the elders is passed on to the young as the story of the Jocko River, the home of the bull trout, unfolds for a group of schoolchildren on a field trip.
The Jocko River flows through the Flathead Indian Reservation in northwestern Montana. For thousands of years the Salish and Pend d'Oreille Indians lived along its banks, finding food and medicine in its plants and fish, and in the game hunted on its floodplain. Readers of this story will learn, along with the students of Ms. Howlett's class, about the history and culture of the river and its meaning in Native life, tradition, and religion. They will also discover the scientific background and social importance behind the Tribes' efforts to restore the bull trout to its home waters.
Beautifully illustrated and narrated in the tradition of the Salish and Kootenai Tribes, this account of conservation as the legacy of one generation to the next is about being good to the land that has been good to us. Bull Trout's Gift is steeped in the culture, history, and science that our children must know if they hope to transform past wisdom into future good.
This easy-to-use handbook offers information about common mushrooms from Alaska and northwestern Canada to Saskatchewan in the east and south to the US states of the Pacific northwest. Using crisp, colourful images, Duane Sept illustrates more than 130 species of edible, poisonous and other interesting mushrooms. Inside you'll find:
~ In depth descriptions for 130 species
~ Details on edible, poisonous, hallucinogenic and other fascinating fungi
~ More than 150 fascinating fungi
~ More that 150 spectacular photographs
~ Tips and techniques for freezing, canning and drying mushrooms
~ Additional information about mushroom ecology, making spore prints and more
~ New edition includes updated scientific names and new species
This handbook makes the connections between protecting habitats and an action within the power of a child: recycling. The bookmark provides an easy entry into its components including: stories to be read aloud; learning and teaching guides; sparks for activities that are flexible and can be adapted to different grade levels; the biology section containing articles on 60 endangered species in 10 ecozones throughout Canada; the recycling section that explains the history and processing of 6 different container types; and in depth essays on life cycles, ecological footprint, extinction, biodiversity and more.
Ian McAllister, conservationist, photographer, and longtime Great Bear Rainforest resident, takes us on a deeply personal journey from the headwaters of the region's unexplored river valleys down to the hidden depths of the offshore world. Globally renowned for its astonishing biodiversity, the Great Bear Rainforest is also one of the most endangered landscapes on the planet, where First Nations people fight for their way of life as massive energy projects threaten entire ecosystems.
In a not-so unusual day, McAllister quietly observes 27 bears fishing for salmon, three of which are the famed pure white spirit bear. This stunning collection of photographs and personal narrative is the product of twenty-five years of McAllister's research, exploration, and campaigning for the spectacular area he calls home.
The only comprehensive guide to insects of the Pacific Northwest, this handy reference is perfect for hikers, fishers, and naturalists. With coverage from southwestern British Columbia to northern California, from the coast to the high desert, it describes more than 450 species of common, easily visible insects and some noninsect invertebrates, including beetles, butterflies and moths, dragonflies, grasshoppers, crickets, cicadas, flies, bees, wasps, ants, spiders, millipedes, snails, and slugs. The more than 600 superb color photographs, helpful visual keys, and clear color-coded layout will make this field guide an invaluable resource for nature lovers throughout the region.
This French version (text and song lyrics) was translated by Quebec biologist Sylvain Archambeault. The songs were performed by children's choirs in BC, Alberta and Quebec. We've had many comments from French teachers about the artistic excellence of the songs. Le cycle de la vie/Recyclage fills a gaping need for quality, new songs and science education materials for use in French immersion schools. See English description for more details.
The Pacific Northwest is one of the best places to find mushrooms — they are both abundant and spectacularly diverse. Yet until now, there has been no mushroom guide that focuses on the region. This compact, beautifully illustrated guide presents descriptions and photographs of 460 of the region's most conspicuous, distinctive, and ecologically important mushrooms.
The geographic range covered by the book includes Oregon, Washington, southern British Columbia, Idaho, and westernmost Montana, with an emphasis on the heart of mushroom country: the low- to mid-elevation forest habitats of western Oregon and Washington. In addition to profiles on individual species, Mushrooms of the Pacific Northwest also includes a general discussion and definition of fungi; information on where to find mushrooms and guidelines on collecting them; an overview of fungus ecology; and a discussion on mushroom poisoning and how to avoid it.

Every energy sector out there wants a piece of the Peace River Valley, one of the last great wild places in North America. The oil industry wants it, the frackers, the solar, wind and nuclear industries. Why? As Charles Wilkinson paddles through the issues he engages hydro and natural gas energy executives, oil company reps, nuclear spokesmen, scientists, academics and activists. What starts to becomes clear is that the tricky business of energy supply and demand does not play out in isolation. It involves everyone who turns on a computer, starts a car, charges a cell phone. With clarity, even handedness and a good deal of wit, Charles Wilkinson connects all of us all to this sweeping energy issue that is rapidly transforming our world. The Peace River is in northwestern Canada, but it could be anywhere as the issues are universal. Peace Out was inspired by Charles Wilkinson's award-winning documentary of the same name.
"What the world needs today is a good dose of Indigenous realism," says Native American scholar Daniel Wildcat in this thoughtful, forward-looking treatise. The Native response to the environmental crisis facing our planet, Red Alert! seeks to debunk the modern myths that humankind is the center of creation and that it exerts control over the natural world.
Taking a hard look at the biggest problem that we face today-the damaging way we live on this earth-Wildcat draws upon ancient Native American wisdom and nature-centered beliefs to advocate a modern strategy to combat global warming. Inspiring and insightful, Red Alert! is a stirring call to action.
Practical solutions for meeting our energy demands while combatting climate change on a large scale, from "the David Suzuki of Britain."
Respected, authoritative , award-winning author Chris Goodall adds new material to the climate change debate. His engaging and balanced volume—popular science writing at its most crucial—is arguably the most readable, most comprehensive overview of large-scale solutions to climate change available.
Everyone agrees we need to slash global greenhouse emissions. But how do we achieve that goal? Goodall profiles ten technologies to watch, explaining how they work and telling the stories of the inventors, scientists, and entrepreneurs who are driving them forward. Some of Goodall's selections, such as the electric car, are familiar. Others, like algae and charcoal, are more surprising.
Ten Technologies to Save the Planet combines cutting-edge analysis and straightforward explanations about the pros and cons of each proposed solution and busts myths along the way.

Boston-Area College and Construction Company Fined for Asbestos Violations
EMSL Analytical is the nation's largest asbestos testing lab with over 30 years experience.
Emerson College purchased the Colonial Building in Boston in 2006 and hired Suffolk to perform renovations on the building. A consultant hired to determine levels of asbestos in the building was not able to access all areas of the building for testing. He recommended that further testing be done when the areas were accessible.
Allegedly, Emerson and Suffolk ignored this report and failed to conduct further asbestos testing before moving forward with their renovations.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), "If products containing asbestos are disturbed, the tiny fibers are released into the air. When they are breathed in, they can become trapped in the lungs and stay there for many years. Over time these fibers can accumulate and lead to serious health problems, including Asbestosis, an inflammatory condition of lungs that can cause shortness of breath, coughing, and eventually scarring of the lungs that makes it hard to breathe; mesothelioma, a rare cancer that affects the lining of the lungs, chest cavity, or abdomen; and lung cancer."
"It is crucial to perform asbestos testing in buildings constructed before the 1970's before moving forward with any demolition or renovation projects," states, Ed Cahill, VP of EMSL's Asbestos Division. "Asbestos fibers which may be present can become airborne during construction projects, and this is when they pose a health problem."
Each of EMSL's 31 locations is equipped and accredited to test for the presence of asbestos in the air, soil, water, or bulk building materials.
For more information regarding EMSL's asbestos services please call 800-220-3675 or visit www.EMSL.com.

How far along will you be when you have your baby shower? I'm on another baby board and a lot of ladies are having/had their baby shower around 30-32 weeks. My sisters live out of town and want to wait until I am 33-34 weeks along to have the shower because it'll fit all of their travel schedules. Is that too late? Am I going to be too uncomfortable?
Also, when will all of you register? We started a private registry so that only my husband and I can see it right now. Not sure when to make it viewable by everyone. We want to encourage the fam to buy us baby stuff for Christmas! I mentioned that we started a registry to a friend who seemed surprised that we started one at 16 weeks.

FrostRemember that the construct that was in M3 created a close-burst 3 zone when it died (and Frost would take 1d6 damage for moving into it on his way to N6. Want to move elsewhere instead?
Also, I'll give you a +5 on the save for the water-drop, so Frost is extinguished.

As he notices RAM TIGER's (apparent) demise, Shrakk's demeanor changes instantly, as cold rage fills his body.
With cold precision, Shrakk inflicts a brutal blow on the warforged next to him, completely separating his head from his torso. Oblivious to his own wounds, he moves towards the construct attacking Kasha, and with a supreme effort, unleashes a flurry of blows into the fiery construct, blowing it to pieces as well.
When the green crystal construct is destroyed, the gem in its back explodes in a swirl of acidic mist.
As Shrakk destroys the red one, its gem explodes in a detonation of fire, dropping the heroic avenger as Kasha dives out of the way.
Kasha staggers under the construct's blows, but keeps her head, slipping out of its reach as Shrakk closes in and then dashing onward to deliver a devastating blow to the rear of Frost's unsuspecting foe.
Her hit connects with the gem on the construct's back and it explodes. Kasha leaps out of the way, but Frost is engulfed in flames.
Frost is nearly dropped from the exploding construct and as his fur burns the shifter drops into the water to try and get it out. He then stands up and runs forward trying to move closer to the gem.
Seros calmly moves over to the fallen gnoll and grabs a few pieces of the still hot metal, applying it to his fur. The smell of burnt flesh fills the air, but RAM TIGER's breathing is more smooth after the action.

TerrainWater: All water within 3 squares of the shore or pooled on land is difficult terrain. Otherwise, it's deep enough that DC 10 Athletics (swim) checks are required.
Wrecks: The broken ships are difficult terrain that provide cover if you are in them, total cover if you are behind them.
Large Rock to the South: The rocky area to the south is 5' above the beach where it meets the water. It requires a DC 18 Athletics (climb) check to climb onto it from the North or West sides, but from the East the beach is high enough that you can just walk onto it.
Cliffs: The cliffs are steep and still slick from the storm. Climbing them requires a DC 22 Athletics (climb) check. The gem is set 40' up the cliff.
Cliff Paths: The paths up the cliffs cost an extra square of movement to go up (away from the beach) but normal to go down. Anything on the paths has cover from the cliffs against anything below.
Dock: The dock is 5' above the water. Moving off of it takes no additional movement, but getting back onto it is a DC 15 Athletics (climb) check.
CombatThe gem isn't attacking any more (for some reason...) but Shrakk is still on fire and dying, so we'll keep going with combat rounds until Shrakk is stable and not at risk of immanent death.
Remember, DC 15 Heal checks let an ally make a saving throw and a DC 10 Heal check lets them trigger their Second Wind(Shrakk hasn't used his yet).
Health BarsI turned on health bars in Masterplan for this last one. I think I'll keep them on in future combats so everyone can get a bit more info from looking at the map, unless you guys really don't want me to.
Saturday, 8th May, 2010, 06:27 PM #144
OOCIt's been 48 hours and no posts. Just so everyone knows, combat is over as soon as Shrakk is no longer dying (or he dies I guess), unless the Gem starts up again...

Bloody and beaten but still standing, Kasha makes her way over to the smouldering figure of Shrakk, who is not so fortunate - though at least he's still breathing. She looks down at him with consternation, trying to recall the first thing she might have ever heard about tending the wounded. The effort is futile, but with a shrug she bends down anyway and slaps Shrakk's cheek lightly with her palm a couple of times. "Hey! No time for lying around, we've got a job to do. Get up!"
To her surprise, he stirs. With a beaming smile she offers him a hand to help him to his feet. The smile slips a bit when she realises that much of his clothing is still on fire. "Uh... oh. Go, get in the water!"
OOCHeal 1d20-1=13
Success vs. DC10 to grant Shrakk his Second Wind.
Apologies for the slack posting, I was kind of expecting that someone with more than a -1 heal check would step up and do something.

OOC: That's life for you
Slowly coming back to his senses, Shrakk gives his thanks to Kasha before taking a deep breath. "That hurt" he states and then looks at the rest of the party.
"We should move out of here and find a suitable place to rest. We're far too wounded by this fight to continue as it is. Anyone proficient in scouting?"

The beach is silent except for the surge of the waves, the faint crackle of the gem beacon, and the cry of sea birds. The Nexal and the dock are pitted from the acid, the dock and beach are scorched from the heat of the blazing constructs, and the shack is moldering from multiple lightning strikes. The constructs lie broken, scattered, and twisted, many of their remains etched by the acidic mist or still glowing red-hot. The party stands, singed, blackened, skin red, blistered, and stinging from acid, lightning, and fire, but victorious.
Up on the cliff, the gem beacon still crackles with green lightning and now and then, a bolt crackles from the sky... or is it from the gem to the sky? It still looks dangerous, but seems to have become dormant, for now...
Combat overI'll assume that everyone else spends the next round making Heal checks to try and put Shrakk out, he goes in the water for the bonus, and the ongoing damage is over.
We'll assume you guys take five minute rests with Seros patching you up as many times as you want (surge + 4). It was also a milestone, so you guys get an AP. There is still the Gem Beacon up on the cliff, but I'll assume you guys are hanging out on the Nexal until you're rested.

Post-combatSo, let me know how many (Seros-augmented) healing surges everyone is spending and we'll be on our way. The cliff paths beckon (in spite of the beacon). The workshop is supposed to be somewhere on this island...

OOCI'm not 100% sure how Curative Admixture works. We can spend healing surges to replenish healing infusions and open up more uses of Curative Admixture, but am I right in thinking that only 2 uses of Curative Admixture are available during one rest, and that we then need another rest before he can use them again? So is the assumption that we'll be taking enough short rests in succession for everybody to heal up using Admixture? I can easily see that running over an hour, maybe even two. Not that that's necessarily an issue, but I wanted to check that I understand. If we're already planning on sitting around on the boat for hours to save a few healing surges, might it not be worthwhile taking an extended rest?

Once the hot metal has cooled and the acidic air dissipated, Seros will pick up various bits of the contructs for later study, his interest still piqued despite their hostile intentions.
Sorry for the delay, everyone can basically add 4 to their surge if they wish to supply it through the healing infusion. I took one for Seros, which brings him up to 30/31, he's good with that.
I'll also add one to the list for next encounter so I have 1/2 right now for next fight. hopefully one of the defenders can supply the other?

Labor agrees with ABC that Liberals are wrong about ABC bias
Andrew Bolt
–, Friday, May, 31, 2013, (8:15pm)
The facts: not one of the ABC's main current affairs shows is hosted by a conservative. Every host of Media Watch in its 24 years has been of the Left. A survey by the University of the Sunshine Coast calculated that more than 40 per cent of ABC journalists vote Greens. And it all shows, as former ABC chairman Maurice Newman says.
Now the ABC has hired as the head of its new fact checking (of non-ABC journalists) the Leftist Russell Skelton, husband of far-Left ABC TV host Virginia Trioli.
ABC managing diector Mark Scott tried to defend this astonishing ideological monoculture - this rigging of public debate through the hijacking of a taxpayer- funded broadcaster - to a Senate committee this week. He specifically defended the hiring of Skelton.
But observe from the transcript. In defending the ABC from Coalitilion charges of bias, Scott has the enthusiastic support of Labor's Stephen Conroy, the Communications Minister. Here is Labor joining with the ABC to claim only a conservative could say the ABC is biased. My case closed:
…..Senator ABETZ: Mr Scott, we could be here all night. I have here more than a dozen examples of Mr Skelton's tweets denigrating Liberals such as Senator Brandis, Scott Morrison, Joe Hockey and other current and former Liberal leaders.
Senator Conroy: He knows his facts, doesn't he!
Senator ABETZ: So how can you credibly maintain that Mr Skelton is impartial and a suitable choice to be the ABC's fact-checker? I will give you a few examples: 'Gordon nails Brandis'; 'Morrison, the LP's one-trick pony' —
Senator Conroy: Absolutely factually accurate at all points! What is your problem?
Senator ABETZ: 'The Liberal bird -brained backbencher slams Gestapo data retention' —
Senator Conroy: There are many different definitions!
Senator ABETZ: that was about Mr Ciobo. 'Joe's not the sharpest pencil in the box when it comes to numbers'; 'Rudd wept and Julia triumphant'; 'The honeymoon will be too long for the monk' — all these from Mr Skelton.
Are you still saying you will not comment on individual tweets? There are dozens and dozens of them showing a partiality against the coalition.
Senator Conroy: In your biased view.
Senator ABETZ: Mr Scott, do you understand that we in the Coalition do not accept that this man will go about his task with impartiality given his past track record of complete and utter partiality, including some quite offensive tweets?
What I would invite you to do is take all of these tweets on notice and come back to the committee and explain how this builds confidence in the community's mind that Mr Skelton will go about his task with impartiality. I will table those for the committee.
Mr Scott: I will take that on notice. Let me simply say in response to the broad thrust of that that Mr Skelton is a very experienced and award-winning journalist. We thought, on the criteria that were spelt out, on his ability to provide and lead a team that is testing statements, coming to conclusions and providing the evidence behind that, that Mr Skelton is an appropriate person to lead that division…
Senator ABETZ: Now let me compare all those opinions about coalition members by your independent, impartial fact-finder with his views on the Prime Minister. What would you say about this tweet: 'Extraordinary times. JG at last behaving like a PM. ALP vote up, not down. Beware the pundits'? Isn't this shameless barracking, pure and simple?
Senator Conroy: You just have a biased view on it, Senator Abetz.
Mr Scott: Senator Abetz, I really think there is little point in going through a whole series of tweets —
Senator ABETZ: What about this tweet: 'Another take on Julia Gillard PM: grace under pressure'?
Senator Conroy: A factually accurate statement!…
Senator ABETZ: Do you have any concern about bias at the ABC?
Mr Scott: I would draw your attention to a much bigger survey commissioned by The Australian in February this year.
Senator ABETZ: I am asking about you. Do you have any concerns?
Senator Conroy: Malcolm Turnbull gets on far too often, doesn't he, Senator Abetz? You would agree with that!
Senator ABETZ: Do you mind, Minister! Mr Scott, do you have any sense that the recent survey which found that 41 per cent of ABC journalists said they would vote for the Greens, 32 per cent for Labor and 15 per cent for the coalition generally reflects ABC journalists' political leanings?
Senator Conroy: He could not possibly know.
Mr Scott: No. There are about 1,000 journalists who work across the ABC in news, radio, rural divisions and others. ...
Senator ABETZ: Can we believe that Mr Skelton will be impartial when checking the public statements of politicians when just last July he tweeted 'Abbott's extremism on display'? Are we to assume this is a display of impartiality by Mr Skelton?
Senator Conroy: It could have been factually accurate!
Mr Scott: I am happy to talk about the fact-checking unit if you would like to talk about that.
Senator ABETZ: No, I am asking you about a specific tweet.
Senator Conroy: It could have been very factually accurate, Senator Abetz!....
Senator ABETZ: Thank you. Can I ask about this tweet from your fact-checker, which is also about Mr Abbott: 'No statesman, with no style'. Is this also indicative of an objective mindset?
Senator Conroy: No, an accurate one. A factually accurate one. That would check against the facts!
Senator ABETZ: The way the minister says it I think tells the whole story for us. What about last August, when Mr Skelton tweeted 'Mr Abbott was revealed to be the shameless opportunist that he is and he was red faced. Windsor nailed him to the floor'? Is that another clear exhibition of the absence of bias by Mr Skelton?
Senator Conroy: I am confident that that was a factually accurate statement!
Have Your Say
Conroy is quite the buffoon, isn't he. He's not even trying to be ministerial. He sounds like one of the local trolls - no, all of them.
Fri 31 May 13 (10:11pm)
Oh I'm going to look forward to that smug head of Conroy's looking like he's sucking a lemon on the night of Sept 14th.
Fri 31 May 13 (10:17pm)
Ever considered that Australia's real problem is
that Murdoch and Fairafax are just too dominant?
Fri 31 May 13 (10:18pm)
Honestly, who or what does this Conroy think he is?. Just a perfect example of the arrogance that comes with this current labor government. The clean out will be massive, and it will have to be to get right down to the core of this Government. I have never seen anything like it in all my time as a voter, and I'm just touching sixty. Coming from Newcastle I know full well what the labor cause used to be, but this mob is representative of a rabble which needs to be put down and never allowed to be in a position to reek the destruction in the manner they have.
When a representative of the public stops listening and so arrogantly does whatever they wish, that's when that party needs many generations in the wilderness to learn the basics again.
Fri 31 May 13 (10:18pm)
Senator Conroy's interjections here are infantile and unbecoming of a Minister of the Crown.
You argue the case that high offices of this nation should always be respected regardless of who is holding office - I find this a bitter pill to swallow when the holder of said office obviously has no respect whatsoever for their own office or the voting public. This embarrassing display is yet another example of the behavior to which I refer.
Fri 31 May 13 (10:26pm)
This country is going to hell...they've lost the plot.
Fri 31 May 13 (10:35pm)
Senator Conroy.....Mark Latham, now with added asbestos.
Fri 31 May 13 (10:40pm)
The stupefyingly incompetent Conroy is doing his level best to put on his very own one man Statler and Waldorf show.
Of all the inept, failed unionists in this current government I'm most looking forward to seeing Conroy punted from office at the upcoming election. He's truly the most deserving of slinking off to ignominious, unremembered retirement.
Fri 31 May 13 (10:50pm)
Conroy's arrogance is born out of his ignorance - he doesn't even realise how hopeless he is and the extent of his contribution to Labor's failure.
Fri 31 May 13 (10:57pm)
Are these people for real? This is crazy.
Fri 31 May 13 (11:01pm)
What a juvenile effort from Mr Conroy.
And these idiots wonder why they garner such little respect…
No reasonable person would agree with this idiots' defence of such a biased view. Clearly the game is to obstruct, obfuscate, badger and insult to distract from the issue.
what a peanut… love to see how long your attitude lasts out in the real world when you have to get a job on your own merits....
Fri 31 May 13 (11:05pm)
We should really sit back and enjoy the Conroy Show, as we will surely never again come across another minister so completely out of touch with the real world that most of us live in. This guy is from another planet, and appears to actually believe his own BS. His arrogance is breathtaking. This is really a case of the lowest common denominator coming up through a system that has made it feel superior, and even worse, funny.
If only we were all a part of it's union mateship program, then we could share in the "Joke".
Fri 31 May 13 (11:08pm)
ALP/ABC tag team.
Fri 31 May 13 (11:10pm)
Surely Mark Scott doesn't think he is going to keep his job after 14 Sept,
because we all know Conroy won't be around to defend him.
Fri 31 May 13 (11:15pm)
I'm surprised these two aren't aware of the precipice they're standing on. Lemmings?
Fri 31 May 13 (11:17pm)
God, I hope the Libs win in September. Scott will look pretty sick when called to operate with a substantially reduced budget. But that's what happens when government employees choose political sides.
Fri 31 May 13 (11:20pm)
Little wonder that Senator Conroy tried to get up legislation to censor the internet. He makes it quite obvious what he thinks a fact to be.
Fri 31 May 13 (11:21pm)
I weep for my country. How I loathe this labour govt. and conroy is revolting
Fri 31 May 13 (11:39pm)
Repost this on Monday Andrew so we may comment. Thanks. mike.
Fri 31 May 13 (11:43pm)
Despite the fact that Conroy has already proven himself to be absolutely immature with his attacks on those who objected to his totalitarian internet censorship scheme, his childishness attacks as recorded in that transcript still manages to surprise me.
Truly, there are no grown-ups left in the Labor Party.

Somalia's al-Qaeda linked group al-Shabaab banned residents in the towns under their control to use Smartphones.
Residents in Barawe, Buula-burte and Elbur told media that the militants warned any person found using Smartphones would be punished.
Al-Shabab said that the Smartphones have advanced features and may be used of spying for the Western Nations. They believe that the Smartphones may simplify the attacks against their leaders.
Since the failed raid against top al-Qaeda leader in Brawe last month and the drone attack that killed to al-Shabab commanders in Jilib town, the militants begun pressuring residents.
Two weeks before, al-Shabab banned residents from watching TV's.

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) - Iran has unveiled a new surface-to-air missile and two radar systems it claims will boost the country's defense capabilities.
Iran's air defense chief says the missile will enable Iranian forces to "shoot down any hostile target," even at high altitudes.
Tehran regularly announces military advances that cannot be independently verified.
It has surface-to-surface missiles with a range of about 1,250 miles, enough to reach Israel and U.S. military bases in the region.
