Wairere Boulders – kiss the blarney stone?
The boulder valley, thought to be 2.8 million years old, was formed by a lava flow which turned into a basalt layer. Erosion, and a couple of huge cracks, has led to a pile-up of thousands of the boulders on the valley floor, some of which are 30m high.

* Truck maker Volvo outlines profitability push
* Aims to cut costs, boost emerging markets presence
* Says seeing weakening demand for trucks across Europe
By Niklas Pollard and Johan Ahlander
GOTHENBURG, Sweden, Sept 25 (Reuters) - World No.2 truck maker Volvo plans to cut costs in mature markets such as Japan and push further into emerging markets as part of its long-awaited plans to boost profitability.
The Swedish company is reorganising its business to lift its operating margin, which has tended to trail domestic rival Scania's, by 3 percentage points from last year's 8.7 percent, a target most analysts see taking several years to hit.
The company fleshed out on Tuesday how it would reach that goal in a plan for 2013-2015, saying it would raise its vehicle gross profit margin per region by 3 percentage points while curbing its cost of sales, and IT and research and development spending.
"This strategy is a fundamental part in achieving our target," Chief Executive Olof Persson told a presentation for media and analysts, adding the strategy could yield a margin boost for the trucks business alone of 6 percentage points.
Volvo even held out the hope that it could improve its overall operating margin by 5 percentage points, though that would exclude the potential impact from economic headwinds.
The company's shares gained on the news, standing 4.1 percent higher at 94.85 crowns by 1412 GMT.
Volvo also said it would reduce its costs by 10 percent in Japan and end production of its Japanese UD brand for the U.S. market due to weak demand and rising regulatory costs.
Those measures would cost the company about 600 million crowns ($91.26 million) in the third quarter, it added.
Volvo, which is launching a new flagship FH series truck, said it would also launch new heavy-duty trucks for emerging markets, which it aimed to produce in India, Thailand and China.
The Gothenburg-based maker of trucks, buses, construction equipment and engines, said it would establish the commercial presence needed to support revenue growth of 50 percent across Asia-Pacific and 25 percent in Africa.
Volvo is the world's No.2 truck maker after Germany's Daimler. It also competes with German MAN SE and Scania in Europe and takes on U.S. Paccar and Navistar in North America.
Truck makers rode a strong recovery in demand in Europe and emerging markets during 2010 and most of 2011, but have since seen the euro zone's sovereign debt crisis and the related global economic slowdown temper optimism.
Truck markets are highly cyclical and sensitive to swings in the economic climate, leaving much uncertainty about what kind of market manufacturers will encounter as they come out of the customary lull of the European summer vacation period.
Volvo, which makes heavy-duty trucks under the Renault, Mack, UD Trucks and Eicher brands as well as its own name, said demand for trucks was weakening across Europe while pricing for both new and used trucks was competitive.
Volvo said in Tuesday's presentation that new and used truck inventories for the Renault brand were too high, adding that inventories for the Volvo brand were at normal levels.
The company said production overcapacity was also putting pressure on prices of new vehicles in North America but struck a positive note on Brazil, where it said it was seeing signs of improving demand.
Volvo has forecast a 2012 European market of about 230,000 heavy trucks, a decline of about 5 percent, while it has banked on robust shipments during the first half of the year yielding a market of 250,000 trucks in North America, implying growth of about 16 percent.
It did not comment on the forecasts on Tuesday, saying its policy was to update these forecasts only in connection with earnings reports.

September 30, 2014
Washington, DC — The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission's (CFTC) Divisions of Clearing and Risk and Market Oversight (Divisions) today announced that Swap Execution Facilities (SEFs) and Designated Contract Markets (DCMs) will have time-limited no-action relief from Commission Regulation 37.9(a)(2) regarding methods of execution for required transactions, or Commission Regulations 37.203(a) and 38.152 that prohibit pre-arranged trading, if a SEF or DCM permits a new trade, with terms and conditions that match the terms and conditions of the original trade, other than the time of execution, to be submitted for clearing. Effectively, SEFs and DCMs will be permitted to continue to use a "new trade, old terms" procedure that had previously been extended as part of implementation of the trade execution requirement for certain interest rate and credit default swaps [see Swaps Made Available To Trade Chart]. This no-action relief shall commence on the date of issuance of this letter and shall expire on February 16, 2015.
On September 26, 2013, the Divisions issued Staff Guidance on Swaps Straight-Through Processing (Staff Guidance). In the guidance, the staff stated, among other things, that:
On May 1, 2014 [see CFTC Press Release 6918-14], the Divisions granted no-action relief from the same requirements of § 37.9(a)(2), § 37.203(a) and § 38.152 of the Commission's regulations for package transactions. The no-action relief granted in CFTC Letter No. 14-62 provided, in part, that subject to specified conditions, SEFs and DCMs would be permitted to establish a "new trade, old terms" procedure for legs of a package transaction that had been rejected from clearing because of the sequencing of submission of the legs of a package transaction. In granting that relief, the Divisions considered efforts by industry to implement solutions which would allow the legs of a package transaction to be measured together.
Since the grant of the no-action relief on May 1, 2014, market participants have continued efforts to develop and implement technological solutions that would allow for the legs of a package transaction to be measured together. According to market participants, however, these technological solutions will not be implemented by the expiration date, as previously anticipated, of the relevant no-action relief granted in CFTC Letter No. 14-62. Therefore the Divisions have extended this time-limited relief, with a minor change to the time frame for resubmission and a clarification relating to customer consent to resubmission, for the clearing of package transactions.

I've wanted a puppy for sooo long and I finally got one! My family and I looked at the local shelters but we couldn't find the right puppy. Then finally we found one of the cutest puppies I've ever seen. My parents and I feel in love with him, and although my mom was hesitant about getting him, my dad wasn't. Milo is a two month old Cavashon. A Cavashon is a cross-breed of a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and Bichon. Milo loves to play and be outside. He has the fluffiest fur I've ever felt!

The Red Bull Air Race World Championship "will make a comeback after a three-year hiatus in February," according to the SID. Defending world champion Paul Bonhomme from the U.K. and 11 additional pilots "will compete at seven events in six countries." German pilot Matthias Dolderer said, "I'm expecting an interesting season with cool locations." At Red Bull Air Race events, pilots "have to race an obstacle course of 25-meter high pylons." The air-racing series "is all about speed, precision and skill" (SID, 10/8). Of the seven races, two will take place in the U.S. The world championship will be back with three former World Champions in the 12-pilot field after taking a three-year break to improve safety and reorganize. For '14, there will be a number of technical improvements to increase safety, including standard engines and propellers for all pilots, changes to the lightweight nylon pylon material (making it easier for them to burst apart if they are clipped by plane wings) and raising the height of the pylons that the pilots pass through from 65-80 feet. The high-G 270-degree "Quatro" turn through a set of four pylons used in previous years has been eliminated due to the exceedingly high g-force it exerts on the planes and pilots. Another safety feature and highlight is the new Challengers Cup competition that will be introduced in '14. This stepping-stone competition will give new pilots experience racing under less pressure on the day before the Red Bull Air Race (Red Bull). In Petaling Jaya, Tan Shiow Chin wrote for the first time ever, "Malaysia will be hosting a leg of the Red Bull Air Race World Championships." Putrajaya "was announced as the site for the second leg of the 2014 Championships at the launch of the event at the Putrajaya Marina" (THE STAR, 10/8).
Events and Attractions
English rugby clubs have been warned that they are "taking a major financial gamble by forming a breakaway tournament with French clubs," and will miss out on an extra €10M ($13.57M) next season in Heineken Cup revenues "if they press ahead with 'a start-up tournament' with 'a start-up broadcaster,'" according to Gavin Mairs of the London TELEGRAPH. European Rugby Cup CEO Derek McGrath, whose organization governs the Heineken and Amlin Challenge Cups, said that the "English and French clubs risked missing out" on a 20% "increase in total income," rising from €52M ($71M) this season to €62M ($84.1M) in the "first season of a new accord." The ERC, however, is "still hoping to bring all the European stakeholders to the negotiating table at the end of this month, having appointed Canadian mediator Graham Mew to find a resolution." McGrath warned that it would be "highly risky" for both the "England clubs and their players to walk away from the Heineken Cup" to a "start-up tournament" that had yet to be approved by the Int'l Rugby Board or the Rugby Football Union. McGrath: "The major difficulty if the English clubs go elsewhere is that the revenues there are estimates. They are based at most on something from the BT [Sport] contract which nobody has yet got details of" (TELEGRAPH, 10/7).
The NFL on Tuesday announced a third regular-season game in London for '14, building on two this year. There had been one game in prior years since the league began playing in the U.K. in '07. The Raiders, Falcons and Jaguars each will be a home team next year at Wembley Stadium. The Jaguars are playing one game a year in London for four years starting later this month. The Falcons' inclusion is somewhat surprising given the home teams largely have been those with some struggles selling out games. The dates and away teams will be announced later this season.
Milan's San Siro stadium "will stage the Heineken Cup final" for the first time in '15 provided an agreement "is reached on a new European club rugby accord." English and French rugby clubs announced last month that they "planned to set up their own competition after running out of patience with stalled negotiations over the future of the Heineken Cup" (REUTERS, 10/7). ... The Malaysian Grand Prix, which will be held at the Sepang Int'l Circuit (SIC) on Sunday, "can expect a bumper turnout." SIC CEO Datuk Razlan Razali said that, as of Monday, they had sold 90% of the 80,000 tickets for Sunday's race (THE STAR, 10/8). ... Southeast Asian Games host Myanmar is planning to hold opening and closing ceremonies "on a grand scale" in December, meeting Asian standards. The SEA Games opening ceremony "will feature advanced technologies with the help of technical assistance by about 200 Chinese experts." The opening and closing ceremonies will be staged at Wunna Theikdi stadium in Nay Pyi Taw (XINHUA, 10/8).

Courtney Simpson
Courtney Simpson (born September 5, 1985 in Mesa, Arizona) is a former American pornographic actress, noted for performing in many films in a short time, and for making an adult film while wearing her Arizona State University cheerleading uniform.
- This article is about a porn star
Early life
Simpson grew up in a devout Mormon family; her father, whom she calls her favorite person, was an oral surgeon. She says she was a gymnast for ten years, winning a national Uneven Bars competition.
Simpson had a 4.2 grade point average in high school, and entered Arizona State University in 2004 with a full academic scholarship. She intended to major in either marketing or broadcast journalism. She intended to stay a virgin until marriage, but found herself constantly talking about sex to her friends on the Arizona State Sun Devils cheerleading squad. She first had sex in October of her freshman year, at the age of 18.
Pornographic career
Simpson responded to Arizona advertisements for nude models, and was first featured in photos on the Amateur Allure web site, performing oral sex, then on her own web site, under the name Cory Heart. She picked Courtney Simpson for her primary stage name based on her own first name, and the last name of singer Jessica Simpson.
In January 2005, Simpson met pornographic actress Nicole Brazzle in an airport in Las Vegas. Brazzle became Simpson's talent agent for her first pornographic films, starting with gonzo pornography with Max Hardcore in March 2005. Those first scenes, involving anal sex and urolagnia, became Simpson's first regret in pornography; she would not repeat them. By July 2005, Simpson became dissatisfied with Brazzle's management, and signed up with a Los Angeles agency, on Brazzle's advice. After someone left a stack of pornographic photos of her on the doorstep of the house where she lived with her parents, Simpson left Arizona State University and moved to California to perform in pornographic films full time. Her parents did not approve of her career, or her moving, but came to terms.
Simpson's first adult feature film was a starring role in Waterfront 4 for Wicked Pictures. She was nominated for the 2006 AVN Award for Best All-Girl Sex Scene, Video. Her agency-supplied driver between bookings became her offscreen boyfriend, and also began performing in pornographic films under the name Jason Cox. They performed together and with other people. By the end of her first year in the pornographic film industry, Simpson had performed in 182 films. In May 2006, Simpson bought a house in Arizona with her film earnings, while continuing to live in Los Angeles.
On December 2, 2005, The Arizona Republic reported that Arizona State University officials were looking into any legal claims they might have in relation to a possible infringement of trademarks and intellectual property over Simpson performing in an ASU cheerleader uniform in the pornographic video Gina Lynn's Double Dutch. The film's producer, Gina Lynn, ultimately decided to reverse the uniform on the video's box cover so the initials said "USA" and not "ASU", and also to blur out the uniform during the time Simpson wears it on-screen. Simpson continued shooting films during the controversy, working five to six days per week.
In September 2006, Simpson announced she would no longer be performing heterosexual scenes on film, to give her more time to go back to college and get her degree. She had made more than 250 films, and was considered one of the industry's most prolific performers. She has since retireed from the porn industry. Ms. Simpson has written stating "that it is very important to her that we specify that she has retired from pornography".

At least 130 pilots of the leading private airlines of India, Jet Airways were issued a show cause notice by the DGCA, the aviation ruling authority of India after they had found that thee pilots continued to fly despite having not taken the mandatory Pilot Proficiency Tests. DGCA wants to know why should it not cancel the flying licences of 141 pilots, as reported, who did not take the test which is mandatory to be cleared every six months.
Not just the pilots, the Chief Training Officer of Jet Airways was also sent the notice after it was found that the training methods devised were not adequate. All this came to the scanner after DGCA had ordered a three man independent team to audit Jet Airways after it was found that due to the slackness of the flying crew a Jet Airways plane had plunged more than 5000 feet while operating on the regular Brussels and Mumbai route unannounced.
Jet Airways on their part deny receiving any such notice from the DGCA and say that their training very much complies with the standards set by DGCA and the other International civil aviation authorities. The spokesperson added that in case of any slack, however minor, it would e willing to work with DGCA and its findings as the safety of its passengers and crew remains of paramount importance to them.

So you have taken the leap into the world of entrepreneurship. Have you spotted a void in the market and have a clear business plan and goal? Did you determined the company's name and even possibly have your website up and running (yes, it's a good idea to have a site)? If so, it may be time to choice from several different types of business structures, each with its own advantages and restrictions. Here are your options:
Sole Proprietorship: is the simplest and cheapest form of business in which a single owner or couple runs a company and is liable for its debt. Your personal and business assets become one in the same reporting losses and profit of the company on your own taxes. An owner can freely transfer ownership and stake in their company.
Limited Liability Company/Corporation (LLC): are combinations of sole proprietorship and corporation structures allowing liability freedom with tax privileges. It separates member's assets from the business's so you will not take a personal loss on debt. The company is taxed as its own entity. It is also flexible allowing several members but doesn't allow stock to be transferred between them.
General Partnership: is an inexpensive arrangement between two or more owners of a business. Like a sole proprietor they are personally responsible for all loss, profit and debt. They are also liable for any of their partner's portion of debt. Although the company is not taxed, each partner is on income earned.
Limited Liability Partnership: are mixtures of corporations and partnerships. Like LLCs each partner's personal assets are separate from the company but they are also not liable for partners debt.
C Corporation (Inc. or LTD.): is the most complex and expensive of the structures and makes up the majority of major companies. Owners act as shareholders taking no responsibility for company debt, which serves as a separate entity. Corporations are required to issue stocks, hold annual meetings, record those meetings minutes and elect board members or directors. Earnings are paid in dividends that can be re-invested into the company or paid out.
S Corporation: has the same structure as a C corporation but shareholders elect to attain all profit, loss, deduction and credits. The company pays no federal tax as owners report business finance on their personal taxes.
Each structure has its pros and cons, mainly liability protection. Your personal situation will determine the best route and a growing company can always change its structure to fit future needs.

A group of 28 international Toyota team members will depart from Anchorage on Nov. 18 on a 4,488-mile journey through Alaska and Canada to conclude the 110-day North American leg of the company's global initiative.

So many things in life, once you get that degree you may (or may not) hang up on your wall, are optional.
You don't have to go to that party on Friday night.
You don't have to wake up any earlier than required to clock in on time.
You don't have to take the extra thirty seconds to give a smile and encouraging word to someone who has something to ask you today.
You don't have to get your oil changed every 3,000 miles. Instead, you just get it changed every six months no matter how much you drove your car.
You don't have to write down every cash purchase you make this month.
Yet, you get to.
You get to track all your expenses so that you and your spouse know where all your hard-earned money went.
You get to take care of your vehicles (and other possessions) so that they will last longer.
You get to create dynamic relationships and take risks to delight other people.
You get to bounce out of bed early to get a task (or two) done before breakfast and work.
You get to attend that event on Friday so that you're more connected with what is happening around you.
It might not be required. It might not be on that test next Tuesday (because you left the classroom years ago). Yet, it still may be beneficial.

Many teams suffer in the year following a championship victory, often struggling to replace departed stars who had helped them reach the previous year's heights. With seven offensive returners and nine on defense, Duxbury, which went a perfect 13-0 last year to win gold in the Division 2A Super Bowl at Gillette, is not one of those teams. Duxbury will once again be led by senior quarterback Matt O'Keefe. Coach Dave Maimaron said O'Keefe's experience and athleticism will make Duxbury's 2011 offense again one of the toughest in the state. "It allows us to be a little more creative, gameplan-wise," said Maimaron. "Hopefully he makes the right decisions." Past O'Keefe, offensive linemen Gordon Acha and Rob Kosharek should be stellar; defensively, middle linebacker Max Randall and safeties Reilly Naton and James Burke should keep opposing receivers tied up. The Dragons' offensive line is green after Acha and Kosharek, though, and could struggle to protect Keefe from the better pass rushes in the state.
- Last year's record: 6-4
- Strength: Skill positions.
- Concerns: Inexperienced linemen.
- Coach: Paul Killinger (15th season, 59-37)
- Playing surface: Grass
- Schedule: Complete list of games
- showReturning: 9 lettermen
- Hunter Brown, T, Junior, 6-3, 205
- Liam Koenen, WR, Junior, 6-3, 190
- Kevin McCarthy, RB, Senior, 6-1, 205
- Reid Mcleod, QB, Senior, 6-2, 170

- Paul Telsmanick, RT, Senior, 6-0, 220
After the departure of 18 seniors from last year's team, Hingham's got a lot rebuilding ahead of it in the 2011 season. Fortunately, the Harbormen return much of last year's talent at skill positions. "We'll be fine, we'll be competitive," said Paul Killinger. "We'll rely on our skill kids to get us through. Team speed will be our asset." All-league senior captain Kevin McCarthy, a 6-foot 1-inch 205-pound running back, will be a key contributor on Hingham's offense. Senior quarterback Reid McLeod is back as well, as is senior fullback Rob Murray. Hingham's line was hit hardest by graduation, and returns just one regular starter in Timmy Schiosky.
North Quincy
- Last year's record: 6-5
- Strength: Experienced skill players.
- Concerns: Depth and inexperience on the offensive line.
- Coach: Jim Connor (6th season, 23-32)
- Playing surface: Artificial turf
- Schedule: Complete list of games

- Marquis Chase, HB/C, Senior, 5-11, 175
- Johannes Harten, SS/SE, Junior, 5-11, 165
- Vinny Tran, T/OG, Sophomore, 5-10, 185
While North Quincy boasts some top talent in a few positions, graduation ravaged its roster and reduced it to just 35 players. Coach Jim Connor said this season rests on the shoulders of the new guys. "It will take a lot of underclassmen stepping up, not just filling voids but being key players for us," said Connor. "How well our underclassmen respond will dictate our success." Marquis Chase is expected to be a stud at halfback and cornerback, as is fullback/linebacker Walter Hannon. Coach Jim Connor said he's incorporating a wing-T offense from which he's expecting good things. The offensive line was hit hard after last season, and will likely be the biggest area of concern for this young team.
Silver Lake
- Last year's record: 7-4
- Strength: Team chemistry.
- Concerns: Experience.
- Coach: Mike Aveni (1st season, 0-0)
- Playing surface: Grass
- Schedule: Complete list of games
- showReturning: 6 lettermen
- Pat Finn, QB/LB, Senior, 5-10, 190
- Nick Gormley, TE/LB, Senior, 6-0, 195
- Jackie Hurley, RB/DB, Senior, 5-9, 175
- Tyler Llerena, WR/OLB, Senior, 6-2, 190
- Tim Skerry, RB/LB, Senior, 5-10, 175
- Nate White, OT/DE, Junior, 6-2, 225
With just two returning starters, and only six returning lettermen, Silver Lake will have a tough time against many of the teams on its difficult 2011 schedule. Senior captains Jackie Hurley (running back/defensive back) and Tim Skerry (running back/linebacker), are the most experienced and are the sole returning starters of the group. Fortunately for first-year head coach Mike Aveni, who has spent the last five years as offensive coordinator, his group's selfless, team-first attitude should allow it to become more than the sum of its parts."They're a group that's just coming in here without experience, they've really been working, pulling for each other," said Aveni. "They've just been working really well together to make each other better, which is really what we're looking for."
- Last year's record: 2-8

There was a time when Whitman-Hanson couldn't find enough room in its trophy case for all its conference titles, but a decade-long title drought has left the Panthers with little vestiges of that storied history remaining. This year's edition of the team could change that. With its sheer athleticism (20 players with sub-five second 40-yard dashes) and a new head coach at the helm, this year could be the one in which Whitman-Hanson returns to glory. Senior captain David Bailey, a running back and linebacker, has the strength and speed to be a game-changer on both sides. Ian Monflis, also a senior captain, plays both lines and should be a leader on and off the field. New coach Mike Driscoll, an on-field veteran of the team's glory days, is also shaking up the gameplan, running a spread offense and an attack-heavy defense.

Half way through October. Can you believe it? I can't. I guess I have to, though. Can't stop time and get off!
I cleaned up a lot of the garden for the season:
Now that I have said I was taking care of the stray kittens, I have not seen them. Go figure. I don't want to just put food out because any old cat can come by and eat it. We have lots of 'owned' cats that like to come through our property, too. I don't need to be feeding them. 😯
Sunday was football day and a good time to be painting my nails! I decided if I didn't have any candy corn in the house to eat, I could pretend with my nails!
This took a while to do, but what better time than during a football game, right? 😉 On a side note, Debby asked about my nail length and guitar playing. This is my right hand (duh) and the nails actually aren't that long – just to the edge of my fingertips, but you do play with your nails some with classical guitar. My left hand nails are much shorter since I need the tips to press on the frets.
Yesterday was a holiday, I guess? I worked all day as my clinics were open. It was busy. It has been busy for months, too. Yes, this is a good thing, but due to the management, it is poorly handled and has been for months now. We have been getting calls to work weekends – at 8:30 in the morning, no less. On both days. I have been called while on vacation to work, even though I let them know I would be out of town. I ended up a stretch where I just worked 12 days in a row. I already do a lot more than the minimum the company requires and I will try and help out when they really need it. However, even only working a few extra hours on each Saturday and Sunday starts to take a toll when you already put in a full work week. Supposedly all these people were hired, but we are still behind.
Today, all hell broke loose. We got calls and emails about working, doing more, more, more. Clients are threatening to leave. Honestly – I just don't know what they expect if they have not hired more people. If we lose the 2 clients, that is 95% of my work. As an independent contractor, I don't get unemployment, so this is somewhat distressing to me, I have to say. I can't do much about it other than to try to work even more, but it's getting pretty stressful. I cannot control what other people do and now it is just a matter of waiting to see what happens.
Anyway, that makes me want to stress eat. My emotional eating pitfall. So that's the fun in my life lately…
However, more important things!
Pink picture of the day was sent to my by Julianne! Cupcakes and coffee together – it's me in a picture!

Last Thing to Do
What's the last thing you need to do before leaving on summer vacation? Go through the classroom and collect every burned out rechargeable battery and bag them up for recycling and proper disposal. While nobody will come and get them, Call2Recycle has a slew of drop box locations so the old, worn out cells will be turned into new ones and not end up in a landfill.

This method requires only a drop of blood that can easily be obtained from a toenail. Surgical sexing requires the bird to be put under anesthetic for a short period of time, while a lighted tube is inserted through a slit cut in the abdomen to visualize the sex organs. Not only is this much more stressful for the bird, it is also much more dangerous.
Unless they are to be set up for breeding purposes, the sex of Quakers is really of no importance as there are no noticeable differences in the personalities, growth or intelligence of these birds. Both males and females make equally good pets, and both sexes can be taught to speak with equal success
Quakers are by nature very clean birds, and do not have to be prodded to "shower" or bathe. They enjoy taking a "shower" or bath almost daily, and following this will carefully preen each feather. To assist them in keeping their plumage shiny and smooth, they should have access to a shallow dish of water specifically for their daily bath, separate from their drinking water, unless you prefer to change the drinking water frequently!
Some Quakers will also enjoy a frequent misting with a spray bottle, and will hold their wings out to enable them to soak up the water. Others will have a specific preference for your bathroom–especially if you are taking a shower, and the bird is allowed to sit on the shower rod where the mist from the warm water will enable him to bathe with you while maintaining a high vantage point! I haven't seen a Quaker yet that didn't like water, which is more than I can say for some other species!
Myiopsitta is the genus name for Quaker parakeets. They are also referred to as monk parakeets, gray-breasted parakeets, or green parakeets. There are four recognized subspecies, the differences between them being mainly in size and variations in intensity of color.

- in Your Boyfriend by Marlon Raye
Romantic And Cute Things To Say To Your Boyfriend
Most men are pretty straightforward when it comes to keeping them happy – you're not going to need a degree in quantum mechanics to figure out what makes him tick. When men hear their girlfriends or wives complementing them it'll probably cause a weird reaction at first, especially if you've never called them cute names before, so if he doesn't "get it" the first time then don't give up on him. He probably thinks you're looking for him to do something around the house so be patient with the big lug that he is.
By the way when I say "cute things" what I'm really talking about here is flattering his ego and appealing to his manliness – what you're really looking for here is to push his "hunter gatherer" buttons and allow him to take a compliment that still allows him to feel as manly as is possible. Basically guys love to be appreciated and it only takes a little bit of appreciation to get a whole lot of loving and attention from him in return.
So here's a selection of cute things to tell your boyfriend that tells him you're happy with how he's treating you and that you're loving being with him.
- You make me feel so safe when you're around, I've never had that before.
- I feel like I'm an open book to you and I have nothing to hide.
- I'd always wished for a knight in shining armor when I was younger and it looks like I finally found him.
- My friends keep telling me how luck I am to have a guy like you!
- You can always make me smile, even when I really don't feel like smiling.
- No matter what I need help with or when I need it you're always there for me and I love you for that.
- I've never met a guy who can pick the perfect gift for me every single time.
- I always wish you were here just after you've left.
- Do you mind if I borrow your shirt or t-shirt – I love how you smell!
- Just the thoughts of being close to you sends shivers up my spine.
- I love how you look after you work out – all that sweat is sexy.
- I think that other girl was just checking you out – she has good taste!
Now some of these might seem like cheesy things to say to your boyfriend but just remember you're not proposing here – these are cute things to say to a boyfriend to make him smile and to show him that you appreciate him. Most guys don't need to be fawned over or taken care of like a kid but they do like to know that they're doing a good "job" of keeping you happy.
Remember that both men and women think with their emotional brain first and their logical brain second, so appeal to his better emotions and he'll be like a puppy on a leash. Never, ever use this stuff to manipulate a guy though – once he realizes what you're doing (manipulating him I mean) it will be game over for you for good.
Just remember that the list of 12 cute things to say to your boyfriend here is just a sample and that I know you'll be able to come up with your own. Look at what he's interested in, look at what makes him happy and put a cute spin on that – the more relevant it is to him the more he's going to appreciate those little things you're telling him.
So ladies what things do you say to your boyfriend to get his attention, make him smile or put him in the mood for love? It'd be great to see what other women reading this blog think so why not take a few seconds to share your Top 3 favorite things you say to your boyfriend here!

As the entrance requirements for engineering programs vary, learn about the various specialization options available. Concentrating on Molloy College science classes, for example, you may gain an advantage in job recruiting on-campus. Check with the mechanical engineering department for course registration deadlines, and scientific research program requirements. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Molloy College.
Mechanical engineering degrees typically take four to five years to complete, and result in a Bachelor of Engineering (BEng), Bachelor of Science (BSc or BS), or Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering (BME). In the US, most undergraduate mechanical engineering programs are accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). Mechanical engineering programs include courses on composites, thermodynamics, engine design, fluid dynamics, control theory, robotics, and computer-aided design (CAD). In addition to the core mechanical engineering curriculum, many mechanical engineering programs offer more specialized programs and classes, such as control systems, fuel cell technology, and biomechanics.
Many mechanical engineering companies have begun to incorporate computer-aided engineering (CAE) programs into their existing processes, including 2D and 3D solid modeling computer-aided design (CAD), enabling faster and more exhaustive visualization of products. Other CAE programs commonly used by mechanical engineers include product lifecycle management (PLM), and analysis tools such as finite element analysis (FEA), computational fluid dynamics (CFD), and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM). Further, automation in the form of industrial robots allow businesses to save money on manufacturing costs, and ensure precision quality control. The median annual income of mechanical engineers in the US workforce was $80,580, highest when working for the government ($92,030), and lowest in education ($57,090). Beyond major requirements within the mechanical engineering department, you may consider construction methods as an adjunct to your primary course of study.

– Washington QB Isaiah Stanback called out the Husky Stadium crowd this week during a radio interview on KJR-AM. For his information, Husky Stadium will be about 90% full on Saturday, the crowd will have the entire day to get lubricated and night games always seem to raise the intensity. Don't worry, Isaiah, we'll be worth a touchdown for you on Saturday.
– Looking ahead on UCLA, they are going to be very good next year. This year is about breaking in the new players so that they have experience next year. I could see them winning 10+ games next year. It puts that much more emphasis on this Saturday's game. I'd hate to see this streak to UCLA get any uglier.
– Saturday begins the make-or-break 3 game stretch for ASU coach Dirk Koetter. Cal on the road on Saturday, Oregon at home in two weeks, and USC at the Coliseum on the 14th of October. We'll find out exactly how good ASU is and if Koetter has turned the corner with this program. What if they lose all 3 of those games, though? I think I'm the only guy on the planet picking them to beat Cal this weekend and I'm feeling pretty shaky about that pick.
– Go buy the Husky Nation CD this weekend at the stadium. It's worth every penny.
– Did you hear that one of the suspended officials from the Oregon-Oklahoma game will actually be working this weekend due to a lack of officials in the conference? He got assigned to the USC-Arizona game. That's right, the game being coached by Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops' brothers (UA Coach Mike Stoops). You couldn't make this stuff up. Pac-10 commissioner Tom Hansen is an idiot.
– This weekend's game against UCLA will be a slugfest between the running backs. Each team will run the football about 40 times. Because the Bruins have a speedy defense, the running game this weekend will likely feature Kenny James and his north-south, "between the tackles" style. The Huskies need a 100+ yard effort from James. To accentuate that issue, I think rushing yards will be tough to come by for Isaiah Stanback and TB Louis Rankin on Saturday. I doubt the Dawgs will beat the Bruins to the edge in the running game which might limit Stanback and Louis Rankin's effectiveness. Speaking specifically to Isaiah's situation, UCLA has had 2 weeks to put together a defense to contain his scrambling and they are likely to sit back in a zone with a spy lurking. To counter that, this would be the perfect weekend to pull out the 5-WR spread formation. It will create one-on-one matchups for the WR's and open things up for Isaiah to run in the middle of the field.
– Sunny and 73 is the forecast for Saturday. After this week in Seattle, it's proof that God is a Husky fan.
– I picked Washington State to beat Stanford this weekend. Why do I have the feeling, though, that the embarrassment of the last two games will have Stanford playing inspired football? Walt Harris is a good coach. He will turn this around.
– The Huskies ran a cool play last weekend that I'm hoping to see again. With Isaiah sprinting to his left, he flipped a reverse to WR Marlon Wood. I like Wood's chances in the open field and it makes the defense protect the backside which opens things up for Isaiah, James, and Rankin.
– Molly Yanity wrote a great piece on Daniel Te'O-Nesheim. We need a nickname for this kid. According to the article he likes mayonnaise so maybe the best choice for a nickname is 'Miracle Whip'. I think it has potential.
– It's been a long 16 days for Oregon State fans. I bet the questions about the Boise State game are getting old. Wouldn't it be funny if Dennis Erickson's Idaho Vandals beat them this weekend?
– It doesn't look like the UW-Arizona game will be on TV next weekend. What ever happened to this great contract that we signed with Fox Sports? 2 of the first 5 games aren't on TV? The verbiage in the press release said "virtually every game" will be televised.
– Doesn't this seem like the perfect game for a trick play? The Bruin defense is fast and might have a tendency to over-pursue.
– The players I'll be watching the most on Saturday are: Roy Lewis – just to see if he can clean up his tackling woes, Marcel Reese – I think he's poised for a huge game, and Dan Howell – just to see how he responds to being out a few days because of his father's death. Wouldn't it be great for Howell to have a big game?

Anyone play instruments from their hammock?
I will bring my mini djembe or an acoustic guitar (depending on location and packing parameters) to play while relaxing in my hammock from time to time. I find it easiest to do chair style and love the environments effect on the sound, as well as the rhythmic sway I inevitably create, only adding to the relaxation.
Problem is I have yet to find the sweet spot for playing as each position gets uncomfortable after a short(ish) period of time unless I put my feet on the ground and who wants to do that?!
Any suggestions or simply experiences playing instruments while hanging are welcome

Attorney Anthony O. Calabrese III was to be arraigned Wednesday for charges related to his role in several bribery schemes, but his attorney says he is already in federal prison.
Instead, a not guilty plea was entered on Calabrese's behalf.
Calabrese has previously pleaded guilty to charges relating to the same conduct in the federal county corruption investigation. He is currently under house arrest for a third case that alleges he tried to bribe a rape victim to change her testimony in a criminal case.
Calabrese is alleged to have paid J. Kevin Kelley to use his influence to get Cuyahoga County to purchase the Ameritrust Tower, a deal that cost the county a total of $45M. He was also paid a large sum by the firm representing the seller in the deal.

Prior to the formal implementation of its alpha-numeric hull number system in 1920, the Navy had employed specialized personnel transports during the Civil War, as well as during and after the Spanish-American War. The Navy's small transport force was vastly expanded in the World War I era, during which it carried a large portion of the more than two-million American Soldiers, Marines and Sailors sent to the European combat zone. Once the fighting had ended, it brought even more of them home.
With one exception, the transports of both eras were acquired from private sources and did not receive the pre-1920 Navy's ship type serial numbers. Most of those entering service in 1917-1919 were given registry identification numbers, but this "ID" number system did not differentiate between ship types, and so was not at all equivalent to the ship type serial number and the as-yet-unimplemented hull number systems.
With the designation "AP", transport hull numbers formally commenced with USS Henderson , whose construction was authorized as Transport # 1 in 1913. She became AP-1 in July 1920. A second unit, Transport # 2 (later assigned the name Heywood), was authorized in 1916. Her construction was deferred, but the hull number AP-2 was maintained on the Navy List, to be briefly assigned to the pioneer attack transport Doyen (APA-1) in 1941. The old transport Hancock became AP-3 in 1920, and two large "Hog Islander" passenger ships acquired in the early 1920s became AP-4 and AP-5.
The Second World War brought assigned AP numbers up to 177, though some of the ships so designated did not enter U.S. Navy service. Many other transports, specially fitted for amphibious operations, were reclassified as attack transports (APA), and a few more were converted for other purposes. However, dozens continued as APs through the wartime period, after which most were disposed of, turned over to the Maritime Commission or transferred to the Army. The great majority of the Army's transports returned Navy ownership in 1950, with the establishment of the Military Sea Transportation Service (MSTS), and were thereafter designated "T-AP". More ships were acquired for MSTS during the Korean War and also became T-APs.
Long-range jet-propelled passenger aircraft, offering a cheaper and more convenient way of moving people over long distances, gradually replaced the Navy's transports during the 1960s. Though some laid-up APs survived into the early years of the Twenty-First Century, the type was operationally extinct long before that. However, given the vagaries of technology and World politics, the existence of large numbers of big commercial cruise liners, and the example set by the big British liner Canberra during the 1982 Falklands war, any expectation that the AP designation will never be resurrected is probably premature.
This page provides the hull numbers of all U.S. Navy transports numbered in the AP series, with links to those ships with photos available in the Online Library.

Commerce City's solution to deciding where sex offenders can live is a model for how communities can reasonably handle residency requirements.
Commerce City on Monday passed an amendment to its residency requirements, allowing registered sex offenders who aren't sexually violent to seek exceptions to rules that ban them from living within 1,000 feet of a school, park, playground or day care center.
Officials will evaluate requests for exceptions on a case-by-case basis, considering the "public interest and the applicant's stated concerns."
The city kept more restrictive limits on violent offenders that would allow them to live in about 11 percent of the city. Non-violent offenders can now live in about twice that area without an exemption.
The amendment makes sense in the wake of broad restrictions in other communities that have been successfully challenged.
Last year, U.S. District Judge R. Brooke Jackson struck down Englewood's 2006 residency ordinance that restricted sex offenders from living in about 99 percent of the city's homes.
Englewood has appealed the decision, but the judge's ruling is common sense. If Englewood can banish all sex offenders, then any community can do the same — meaning Colorado would simply be trying to export its problem.
What Commerce City passed sets strict limits for where sex offenders convicted of felonies may live. It also gives offenders with lower-level convictions a chance to plead their cases.
Hearing officers will accept oral and written statements and will be able to consider several factors, such as remorse, date of the incident, and the offender's history since the incident.
This is what good government does. Instead of a blanket law, residency should be considered with all of the pertinent information available to ensure the community is safe and the offender who has been punished is treated fairly.

When it is felt that it is the best time to search for good water damage restoration contractors or professionals and deal with them, try asking people for their personal references and also search online. Many advertisements for such services also come in newspapers and magazines.
You can also go for local contractors rather than appointing companies with professionals. Some of the local contractors also have a good reputation for offering timely and quality service that too within your budget.
But, it is always advisable that before choosing a water restoration contractor, be it a local one or a registered firm with well-educated and trained staffs, one should research well beforehand about the contractor, and their services.
Check the Track Record of the Contractor: You should always look for a contractor who has a good reputation in the market and a decent track history with no complaints. Also, check the criminal history of the person to whom you are allowing full access to your home. So, it is better to check the track record of the contractor or the company before delegating work to them.
Always Do a Cost Comparison: Always try to find details about two, three or more contractors so that you can choose the best one according to your requirements. Once you have found two or three water restoration contractors, ask them to give their bids in writing. Make a comparison of the bids received based on the same specifications, time, warranty and labor. Keeping your budget in mind and whatever your pocket allows, choose the most profitable one out of the many options.
Check for Licensing and Insurance: You should check for the company's license, which you are going to hire for water damage restoration and make sure whether the contractor is having proper license or not. You should also verify the liability insurance of the company so that you get to know up to what extent the company can protect you against the damage.
Ask for Written Contract and Warranty Information: You should always ask for a written contract from the concerned person; this has to be signed before permitting the work to be started. The contract should contain exact costs, start and completion date, specific work that is to be done, warranty information and other crucial information.
Payment Terms: You should go through the contract papers thoroughly by yourself and make sure that the payment terms are defined properly as to what percentage of total costs is to be paid as advance and other such payment terms. A written document will help you protect against potential scams and also avoid confusion after the job is completed. You should also avoid cash payments.
Trying out these measures and keeping them in mind while searching for water damage restoration contractors and professionals will help you choose the best one. These tips will help you in finding a contractor to ensure your protection against theft, and unforeseen damages.

Maureen Dowd: Pope denies equality for women
Published 3:54 pm, Saturday, September 26, 2015
After attending a canonization Mass at Catholic University with the pope who rails against the excesses of capitalism, I walked off campus to a festival of capitalism.
Vendors were hawking pope bracelets, buttons and T-shirts.
Excited by seeing the humble black Fiat in person and infused with Papa's warning against the numbing effects of the "culture of prosperity," I resisted all sales pitches. Until I got to the last guy.
He was selling blue-and-white T-shirts for $10 with the declaration "Coolest Pope Ever."
Francis is undeniably cool. He once worked as a nightclub bouncer in Buenos Aires. He got a serenade to "Frank, baby," from his fan Stephen Colbert. He spurred nuns to have a tailgating party at Catholic U. before his Mass, inspired the Internet to erupt in photos of dogs sporting miters and persuaded a blubbering John Boehner that he would never have a day that good again.
Though Friday was dry, Francis got a rainbow before his triumphant tour of Central Park. And he felicitously leaves the country before the super blood moon Monday morning — considered by some Christians to be a sign of the apocalypse.
Cleaving closer to the teachings of Jesus, a carpenter from Nazareth, Francis rejected the fancy red slippers of predecessors in favor of plain black shoes. He scorned the papal palace for a suite in the Vatican guesthouse. He ended the fixation on divisive social issues and refocused the church on healing social justice and the Golden Rule.
On Friday, Rolling Stone premiered a single called "Wake Up! Go! Go! Forward!," from the coming pop-rock album Francis is dropping in November, sort of a "Shake It Off" for apathy and selfishness.
Yet his very coolness is what makes his reign so hazardous. Watching the rapturous crowds and gushing TV anchors on his U.S. odyssey, we see "the Francis Effect." His magnetic, magnanimous personality is making the church, so stained by the vile sex abuse scandal, more attractive to people — even though the Vatican stubbornly clings to its archaic practice of treating women as a lower caste.
Pope Francis would be the perfect pontiff — if he lived in the 19th century. But how, in 2015, can he continue to condone the idea that women should have no voice in church decisions?
In a scandal that cascaded for decades with abuses and cover-ups, the church was revealed to be monstrously warped in its attitudes about sex and its sense of right and wrong.
Yet shortly after he was elected, Francis flatly rejected the idea that the institution could benefit from opening itself to the hearts and minds of women. Asked about the issue of female priests, he replied, "The church has spoken and says no," adding, "That door is closed."
Francis preaches against the elites while keeping the church an elite boys' club.
As he arrived to say Mass on an altar designed by students outside the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, the pope was surrounded by hundreds of white-robed male bishops, male priests and a sea of seminarians as he nonsensically canonized Father Juníipero Serra, a missionary agent for the Spanish empire in California, a man who flogged Native Americans who broke the rules of Catholic teachings.
The Holy Father has acknowledged that "Mary is more important than the apostles." He also disingenuously called women in the church "more important than bishops and priests" and patronizingly told a group of female theologians last year that they were "strawberries on the cake."
As The Wall Street Journal recalled Friday, in 2013 he told a group of several hundred nuns that they must be spiritual "mothers" instead of "spinsters," and he compared a torpid Europe to a grandmother who is "no longer fertile and vibrant."
He did make an important gesture last month when he said that in the jubilee Year of Mercy, starting in December, priests could absolve women who had had an abortion.
And blessedly, he's made the Vatican end its two inquisitions into U.S. nuns. But stopping the torment of innocent nuns does not constitute much of a nod to modernity. The church is in arrested development.
If only the pope could apply this Golden Rule: Do unto women as you would have them do unto you.
Maureed Dowd writes for the New York Times.

The story on the Tesla set out, from the get go, to discredit EVs. There was no intent to gather any facts, just to see exactly how much lying Broder/NYT could get away with.
Welcome to the 21st Century. The very reason I quit watching TV in 2006. It is mostly lies and half truths. A person has to look at every source and try to squeeze out the truth. Many times it is totally lost in the process. I could spend days trying to find out the real truth about Musk and the $17,000,000 in cash to buy that house. Sure he is worth a supposed $2.4 billion. Is that on paper minus the $100,000,000 he was whining about?
I don't get worked up about a few million in research grants to universities. When you hand half a billion to a Solyndra and a few months later they file for bankruptcy. And leave a HUGE environmental mess for the tax payers to clean up. Or bail out Tesla to the tune of half a billion. I get ticked off.
Solyndra has been the poster boy but Telsa does appear to be paying the loans back early, so I wouldn't group them together.
Fisker is a mess. If anyone wants to criticize EVs, and wants to be accurate, bust on them all you want.

If Tesla makes enough money to pay off our loan the stock will bounce back. Right now it is losing $3.70 per share. Hardly a company I would buy with or without the bad press from NYT. The stock is only down about 10% from its all time peak. Think about Apple, it is down 30% on negative comments in the media. And they have $137 BILLION in cash. Musk just needs to sell cars and quit whining about the media. Only 6% of US citizens believe the media anyway.

I think the man has done a great job and I like that he works so hard to promote his company. He cares about making a great car, I would love a Tesla S sedan, that is an awesome all-electric car. It looks sharp, looks to have plenty of room inside, and it is all-electric. Sure, it's $49,000.
I sincerely hope that Tesla Motors succeeds.
Tesla S sedan
2011 Kia Soul Sport 5-speed
Sure, it's $49,000.
That was what they projected it to sell for. The 2012 shows a base price of $59k. I don't know how many they sold at that price. Now the "S" has a base price of $97k. It is a rich man's toy subsidized by US tax payers. I doubt we ever see a Tesla for under $50k.
Just don't touch any metal parts while doing this.
stever Posts: 52,683I think that's how Zap cars got their name.
Don't mention ZAAP. I lost money on that EV stock. Interesting story on another EV scam CODA. Not much longer for this world.
"On Nov. 10, 2011, Gov. Jerry Brown came to Los Angeles to help open the new headquarters of CODA Automotive. The company was rolling out its CODA Sedan, which boasted new battery technology that would deliver unprecedented range for an all-electric car. The company claimed it would bring 650 high-tech jobs to L.A.
"'To the naysayers, we're saying yes to solar, yes to CODA,' Brown said. 'We're saying yes to a Los Angeles that's on the move.'
"But though Brown and Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa did most of the talking at the day's ceremony, it was City Council president Eric Garcetti who deserved most of the credit. Garcetti played the key role in enticing CODA to move its headquarters from Santa Monica by dangling $1 million in city redevelopment money — even as he received $8,000 in contributions from CODA executives and their spouses.
"And yet, a little more than a year later, CODA is in trouble. The company never got close to its goal of 650 employees, topping out at about 270 before it began laying off workers in December. A showroom at the Westfield Century City mall has closed. It appears the company has sold fewer than 100 cars.

Cora's car was competitive with the 1986 Honda Civic.
That was a bad gamble from the start.
That was a bad gamble from the start.
And the $100,000 Tesla family EV sedan is a good gamble?? Not anyway I can think of. Except for the con artist that sold it to the Feds.
They expect to be profitable next quarter, so lets see.
A loaded 3 series overlaps with the Model S in price.
Did you see in the other thread that an Escalade can hit $87k? :surprise:
No way to compare them. The EV is not practical for anyone but a short haul commuter, and a rich one at that. And how would you get a BMW 3 up to $100k? Even the hybrid would not be that expensive with every option.
And how does a sedan compete with an Escalade? The Escalade I drove in 2007 was over $70k. A real apples to lemons comparison.
When Musk makes a profit selling cars for $100k that cost $140k I will believe in his genius.
I said they overlap. You can get a 3 series with a 4 banger up to $50k. The big sedans go way higher.
A Valet would park the Tesla out front but never the 3 series.
We have to remember the target demographic owns 4-5 vehicles, so this would not be their trip car.
A toy for the rich but at least they make them here and power them with domestic energy sources as well.
A toy for the rich but at least they make them here and power them with domestic energy sources as well.
How much is made here? My guess is less than 50% of the Tesla is USA made. The GM Volt is only 45% USA made. We don't have the natural resources to build EV or Hybrids. CA has an electric shortage so I hope none sell here to suck down our energy supply.
They are Corporate Welfare to the MAX. One of many reasons the Rich in this country keep getting richer. People that pay enough taxes to get the tax credit don't need the subsidy. Maybe a few that would buy the Leaf. The Tesla is a government payoff for favors rendered pure and simple. When out tax dollars are spent they will be gone like all the rest of the con men.
I've heard GM fans say they will eventually shift more parts production to the US.
Not sure about the Tesla's domestic content.
