Behave David K, but I still love you for redeeming yourself.You have Imphosta to thank for that. Dove is not afraid to state the truth and hates unfair remarks if intended.
This is what I love about this forum.We express what we feel but are ready to fall in line when reminded that we have crossed it. Lead on guys
One of my neighbours did something similar to what Artjak has described. he comes from the WI and with his son and a pick axe broke the patio up and leveled it. He then ordered delivery of premixed concrete which they spread out and finally leveled it with a plank.It was set in two days and looks pretty good. It did not cost him except for the concrete. He did not even do any dips or pattern on it. By the way, he said that with the measurements he gave them, the concrete guys worked out the amount he needed.
If you fancy "slabs" the cheapest are concrete slabs that councils use on walkways in shopping centres.They last and do not grow algae.
Hey Hosta, steady on, you almost said something in favour of GW
Try and understand David K, it is called emulating.......then they can tell the world that we have Montys' tool
Unless you enjoy doing it, like Forester2 Edds' idea works beautifully
Baywood, I can really sympathize with you as I have the same problem and the police did not help at all.
I was reluctant to react but snapped when it got worse. I knocked on their door and calmly said that I had witnesses and proof about their behaviour and have alerted the police too. They denied it all and told me that "I was hallucinating as I was a lonely old hag and made racist remarks.....".I replied by saying that they were weak bullies and that if they carried on I will "go further...." and then, despite their ranting, walked away. I must say, I was terrified but at my wits end. But, it seems to have worked and they have left me alone for a few months.
Unfortunately, despite what people say about "the law etc." it is best to avoid a confrontation as people like them never change. So maybe you could cut the plant down and try saving it by watering it copiously and see if it will shoot up again. If it does, keep it in control and do not give them a chance to aggravate the situation. Failing that, leave the area bare and see if it helps. Good luck.
Isn't it strange Nut, I'm glad you mentioned it, but my magenta ones do well in my garden and seed everywhere!! But I do not have any luck with the white ones, which is a shame as I would love to grow them together in a pretty pot and use it as a special marker in the garden.
Behave Hostafan 1 or you will upset you know who.......the USA is already giving him a hard time. He might be tempted to turn our heating off
Mine just refused to obey me Krissy 2, I'll try swearing at it, it might work
Toad lilies are easy to grow as long as they get good light. Mine are shooting up now. They need protection from slugs as they love them. The plants are are late summer bloomers and will last till the first frosts.

CASABLANCA MINING (OTCQX: CUAU) announced today that it has begun production at its Los Pinos hard rock gold project in Rancagua, Chile. Photos of the production are available by clicking here: http://www.buyins.com/lospinos/production.zip The company has completed road improvements, platform terrace, tunnel entrances and has opened 2 separate tunnels (Level 2 and Level 3) that enter the mine. The Level 2 tunnel (see video below) has advanced 200 meters into the mountain, reached the front and is in production. There are mine railways and mine cars inside Level 2 for the transportation of mining materials. The Level 3 tunnel (see photos below) is already 300 meters into the mountain has reached the front. The company will also be mining Level 1 (the surface area around the mine). Casablanca Mining CEO, Juan Carlos Camus, said, "We are very proud to announce that we have begun production at our Los Pinos gold project. We expect to ramp up quickly." Level 2 tunnel video of the Los Pinos mine can be seen by clicking here: http://youtu.be/3cXiv6EiUyU Level 3 tunnel photos can be seen by clicking here: http://www.buyins.com/lospinos/level3photos.zip Here is a photo montage of progress in 2012: http://www.buyins.com/lospinos/photos.zip The mining property includes 300 hectares called, "Los Pinos 1-30" and 100 hectares called "Teresita 1-20." The properties are in the Valley of Cachapoal, on the plateau that lies to the West of the village of Coltauco, 700 meters above sea level, a distance of 55 km from the city of Rancagua, approximately 150 km from Santiago. This mine was mined in the late 1940s until 1949 when, due to a landslide, it was capped and abandoned. In the 1980s it was rediscovered, and is now constituted and current on its claim maintenance requirements. The mine covers an area of 400 hectares and corresponds to a first vein which shows significant potential for gold. The expectations for the mine are derived from the altered area and the knowledge of a second parallel vein, which shows more potential than the surface gold anomalies of the first vein, and increases the mine's potential reserves substantially.

Half a world away, a tiny band of workers is trying to save their country from a nuclear meltdown. Closer to home, 11 people died and tens of thousands more lost their livelihoods when an oil rig caught fire in the Gulf of Mexico. Even closer, my local news carries daily accounts of how a gas line explosion that left 8 dead, 50 injured, and 40 families homeless could have been prevented.
All of these events have two things in common – they're accidents. No one got out of bed one morning and said, "Gee, I think I'll go out and kill someone today."
The other is that with some common sense and honesty, all of them could have been prevented or at least their risk mitigated by prudent action – even when a tsunami rolls ashore.
Cutting Corners to Keep the Dividends
For years, all the companies involved told their governments and the public things were just peachy. "Safety is our top priority. We're responsible citizens" as if by top priority you mean cutting corners so the dividends keep on rolling in. Their inability to follow the rules is ample proof.
It's de rigueur these days to lament the crushing weight of regulations on business, a not wholly inaccurate charge. The popular refrain is that unnecessary regulations kill jobs and stymie innovation, progress, and plenty. However, fewer point out that a job isn't much good if you, your family, or your neighbors end up in the morgue waiting to be identified by their dental work or the ash pile that is their DNA.
All of these events, like thousands before them, will generate new regulations. The throngs don't take kindly to being blown up while watching American Idol and they'll push their government to do something and do something now.
Score 1 for K St.
The gears of government will turn. There will be a cacophony over just how far the regulations should go. In the end, lobbyists will win out and the resulting regulations will, more often than not, benefit the companies and not control their stupidity. Score 1 for K St.
That doesn't matter much anyway. Government won't enforce the laws and will cut back on the agencies that are responsible for that because someone needs a tax cut. The companies will continue to have accidents and all will be right with the world until the next tiny band of workers is irradiated or killed for simply going to work at ones of those nifty jobs that were generated by the cutting of corners and ignoring of regulations – the same regulations that tried to legislate common sense into people who have none of their own.
In the end, these events aren't about small government or big government. They aren't about deregulation or over-regulation. They aren't about the gulf between the haves and have nots. They are about the ultimate failure of holding companies responsible for what they do.
Just as CEO's don't get out of bed in the morning plotting on who to kill today, regulations don't come about needlessly. They come about as the result of someone not doing something that should have.
Unfortunately, you can't legislate common sense into a thick corporate skull. And, we're all the worse off for it.

"I don't think anybody is going to be as eager to get to summer league as I am," Law said. "Normally guys are probably bumming about summer league, but not me. I feel like I have to get back on the floor as soon as possible to make up for lost time. There's a whole lot that I left on the shelf in my rookie season because of injuries and whatever else. That's my motivation now, to make up for lost time."
--F Josh Smith will have to interrupt his already rigorous offseason workout regimen next week.
Luckily, it's for a good cause.
Smith and his father are heading to Africa (Senegal, to be exact) for some humanitarian work and basketball work with his shoe sponsor, adidas.
Smith is a regular on the international circuit during the summers, having already made similar stops in Europe and Asia earlier in his career. The trip to Africa, however, is one that Smith said he's been looking forward to for years.
"Every time you have an experience overseas it's an eye opener and an educational experience," Smith said. "But to be able to go to Senegal and just set foot on the continent of Africa is something that everybody wishes they could do. So I cherish the opportunity."
QUOTE TO NOTE: "When we have something to report on our coaching situation, we'll (release) it." -- Hawks general manager Rick Sund, stonewalling the media about the contract extension offered to Mike Woodson.

Aonuma: Zelda 3DS will be a game in which having 3D will mean something
Posted on September 12, 2011 by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News
Ocarina of Time 3D is a fantastic addition to the 3DS library, but fans are understandably very curious as to what a completely original Zelda game would look like on the system. Producer Eiji Aonuma wouldn't give away any specific details, though he did tell Game Informer that he expects to do something "very interesting". Aonuma added that the project "will be a game in which having 3D will mean something."

Who said it?
1. "When you look at the whole body of information over the last two years, there is mounting evidence that the Assad regime has used at least a small quantity of chemical weapons throughout the course of this conflict."
2. " I do believe in traditional marriage, Kentucky has decided it, and I don't think the federal government should tell us otherwise. There are states that have decided in the opposite fashion, and I don't think the federal government should tell anybody or any state government how they should decide this. Marriage has been a state issue for hundreds and hundreds of years."
3. "I would describe the policy as: Let's try to keep a lid on Iraq with as few resources as possible and as little energy as we possibly can."
4. "The whole thing, universal checks, is a dishonest premise. There's not a bill on the Hill that provides a universal check. Criminals aren't going to be checked. They're not going to do this. The shooters in Tucson, in Aurora, in Newtown, they're not going to be checked. They're unrecognizable. N.R.A. supported the national instant check system on dealers. . . . . It's not fair, it's not accurate, it's not instant. The mental health records are not in the system, and they don't prosecute any of the criminals that they catch. It's a speed bump for the law abiding. It slows down the law-abiding and does nothing to anybody else."
5. "I mean, for heaven's sake, Cheney was on stage at the RNC Convention with Heather and Mary, and on the front page of The New York Times, Heather was referred to as Mary Cheney's 'friend.' It's not just about the Republican Party, it's about the culture."
The answers are : 1. Here, 2. here, 3. here, 4. here and 5. here.

has won a trio of multibillion-dollar deals on consecutive days in the first week of May.
The three mega-transactions were headed by the firm's role advising Wachovia on its $25.5bn (£13.55bn) acquisition of Golden West Financial, a deal led by partner Rodgin Cohen.
Although smaller, the deals for Goldman Sachs and Lazard as financial advisers to Fisher Scientific on its $12.8bn (£6.8bn) acquisition by Thermo Electron, led by partners Joseph Frumkin and Stephen Kotran, and Teck Cominco on its $11.8bn (£6.27bn) bid to acquire Inco, led by partners James Morphy, Donald Crawshaw and George Sampas, made it a good week for the US firm.
Cohen says the fact that the three deals all arrived on consecutive days was "circumstantial", but adds that the ability of Sullivan to service three such deals in such a short period of time was not.
"We have a very strong and broad M&A group and, over time, we'll get a pretty good share of deals," he says.Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, who is believed to have his eye on the presidency.
Palmer and his team of two associates joined Houston-based Bracewell & Giuliani, formerly known as Bracewell & Patterson, which launched in Manhattan last year by bringing in Giuliani as a name partner.
Meanwhile, Clifford Chance and A&O hired finance and restructuring partner John Howitt from Paul Hastings Janofsky & Walker and structured finance partners Howard Goldwasser and Lawton Camp from the New York office of Orrick Herrington & Sutcliffe respectively.
But unlike Linklaters, A&O's and Clifford Chance's hires have made little impact on the local market. As one US competitor candidly puts it: "I don't know who those people are."

I have a 1996 Ford Ranger Super Cab 2.3l 4 cyl. 5 speed truck. I have had the check engine light come on 4 times in the past 2 weeks and every time it was code P0401 or Exhaust Gas Recirculation Insufficient Flow. The truck wasn't running poorly, but I decided to change the EGR valve. Right after changing the EGR valve I started the truck and it was running roughly. I then changed the spark plugs and wires and it was still running roughly, so I put the old EGR valve back on and that didn't fix the problem either. I then put and EGR sensor on my truck and that didn't fix the problem either. I then drove it home from the shop and when it was idling in my driveway it was idling high and wouldn't ever go down. The fan was also not shutting off. What is wrong with my truck? Do I need to replace the EGR solenoid? What else could be the problem?
have the same problem?

That's the point. We all know we're not going to get answers. Not until enough "we the peoples" start asking the questions, or even just recognizing that there are questions in the first place.
The point of the show is not to answer these questions. The point is to get people asking them. 1.6 million households watched. Most of them probably never heard of HAARP. Now they have, and they're now trying to decide if they should be terrified or infuriated.
Add another million to the the people questioning the events of 9/11, those that are keeping secrets begin to feel a little more heat. It's momentum, can't you see? The more main-stream he takes these topics, the less "whacked-out paranoid schizophrenic" you and I become.
Well, you feel free to believe that. I don't think we'll ever get any answers, no matter how many "we the peoples" start asking questions.

Hey Newgrounds!
I know I haven't posted here in ages but I figured I may as well make a news post. Simply put, I want to get back into flash. I've only ever submitted one movie to the portal, a shitty movie at that. After my silly submission I polished my skills and got to a point where I'm not ashamed to post my work. That was around a year ago.
I no longer have much free so it could be hard for me to really get back into animating. I'll do my best though.
At any rate!
Stay tuned to this page for some flash work in the future. I might ask around for flash help if it turns out I'm actually trash.

ALBUQUERQUE, New Mexico (NEWS CENTER) -- A new Mexico family is outraged after losing their beloved family pet.
The family's 11-year-old put up signs notifying people that their kitten, lefty was missing.
But when they got a call they were shocked to hear the caller wanted money as a reward.
According to the family, the man demanded $50. to cover the cost of cat food and medicine.
He said without payment, he would keep lefty.
The family eventually paid the ransom for lefty's return.
"I just wanted to go out and shout from the roof tops you know look what this person did to take advantage of a child. This is an adult and this is a child's kitten that you held for ransom and you made us give $50 for."

Showers no roadblock to wheel-y big fun at Touch-A-Truck
Published 8:16 am, Sunday, March 30, 2014
A bit of rain Saturday didn't dampen the enthusiasm of children and their parents for a tradition of Westport's spring -- the annual Touch-A-Truck fundraiser rolled out by the Westport Weston Cooperative Nursery School.
The event showcasing all kinds of vehicles -- in different sizes, shapes, colors and wheel configurations -- took place at Coleytown Elementary School, and the proceeds benefited the nursery school's scholarship programs, according Pat Rackliffe, the school director. She and her staff were on hand to coordinate activities.
Rackliffe said there had been a concern about inclement weather -- a combination of drizzle, gray skies and chilly temperatures -- how it might affect attendance. "The weather is a challenge every year, but we have to lock into this last weekend of March every year because of the start of sports across town," she said. "Despite the rain today, we're still getting a great turnout. People have cabin fever and are ready to get out."
About 80 businesses participated in the event, with a wide range of eye-popping vehicles. Notable vehicles included the Fun Bus school bus, Westport fire and police trucks, an Adams Refuse truck, an Army supply truck, a striped concrete mixer, mobile cranes and a moving truck.
Adding to the fun was a crafts activities provided by sponsors Melissa & Doug, a Thomas Train transporting passengers around the lot, the Kidville Band performing music and Naples Pizza serving up slices from its truck with built-in brick oven.
It was hard to say who was having more fun -- the children or their parents -- as they moved from one vehicle to another around the lot. They took turns behind the wheel, activated sirens and horns (after the initial "quiet" hour to let neighbors sleep), gaped at oversized wheels and clambered inside and outside the vehicles.
Representatives provided information about each vehicle's function and capabilities. The event was both fun for visitors and a chance for businesses to promotes their services. And for the Westport's fire and police departments, the event served as community outreach to people of all ages.

I started another year of Project Life® last Monday with my birthday — I'm pretty smitten that my birthday landed on a Monday this year to tell you the truth…For my "27" album, I switched from the Sunday – Saturday week schedule to the Monday – Sunday schedule so my weekends would stay on one layout.
The plan for Project Life® #28
The Basics:
- American Crafts D-Ring Binder in Red – I LOVE the American Crafts 12×12 D-ring binders and this year I'm going with the bold red color they offer. Previous colors were lime green and black. I used the red 8×6 American Crafts binder for my December Daily™ / 30 Days of Lists and loved the look of it
- Project Life® Page Projectors // Design A ONLY – I used the mixed packs of page protectors in the past and I think it was a BIG factor in why I slow down mid-year and fall super fall behind. I want to honor this project as what it was designed to be — an easy way to quickly document my life. Worrying about if I need portrait or landscape photos each week is a thing of the past as I go forward and use only the classic Design A pages. I plan on adding inserts, as needed
- Layout Notes – I used Microsoft Word to create a super basic page I can use to make notes about my layouts each week. I've seen so many people use similar notes that I figure it's worth a try! It'll be easy for me to keep a sheet in my purse each week and make notes as I go. I'm hoping this will help me cut down on ordering unnecessary photos (or worse, multiples!)
- Studio Calico Project Life® Monthly Subscription – I am hoping that having a kit each month will help me stay on top of the layouts I'm making – some of the layouts that got left behind last year was because I couldn't find a "filler card" that felt right and it could be because I realized I wasn't thrilled with having so many multiple cards from kits and also too many options. A monthly kit only has so many pieces and I want to be able to use it all or send them to somebody else (let me know if you're interested in swaps!)
- Currently Lists (not pictured, but you can see an example here) – My #26 Project Life® layouts all had a weekly "thankful" card where I wrote down one thing each day that I was thankful for each week. It was fun but I wanted a break during #27. For #28 I'm going to do a weekly Currently List using the designs from the rukristin papercrafts shop. There are physical cards, digital options, and the new "Instagram-friendly" square version. If you're interested, the square version is free if you subscribe to Kristin's newsletter
- Weekly date cards – I'm using these weekly date cards (one side of the card is in greyscale and the other is in color) because I start out being super creative with my weekly cards and things go downhill when I run out of certain letters (W & K) and numbers early on and I get a little bit upset that things aren't cohesive looking. I already loaded these cards into my album to not have to worry about it later
- Studio Calico Inspiration – Now that I'm a Studio Calico subscriber, I'll be utilizing the site more and hopefully becoming a part of the community. If you're on there, let's be friends! That's how that works, right?
- Printing from PostalPix – I am still using the PostalPix app to print my photos. It's easy to use, the shipping is quick, and the quality is pretty great. The app is available for both iPhones and Androids
Are you doing Project Life? What are your favorite products?
For more ideas on how to add more stories to your Project Life layouts, I'm going to recommend the Project Dig Deep ebook? I contributed to this ebook in 2012 and I still look back through it for ideas on ways to include my travels and adventures into my Project Life binders. Some of my favorite Project Lifers contributed to this ebook, too, and I'm still so inspired by their stories.

Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola expects Lionel Messi to win this year's Ballon d'Or after last night's Champions League triumph. Messi embarrassed United's defence with a headed goal in the 2-0 win and Guardiola smiled: "I guess he will already be writing his name on the Ballon d'Or. But he doesn't need to win that to know he is the best.
"He never hides and is always available in the most difficult of situations."
On a five-star performance from Andres Iniesta, Guardiola joked about his pre-match injury doubts: "He was only playing on one leg! We told him not to use his right!
"Luckily we won, otherwise we would have been slaughtered for playing him!"
Guardiola also praised Sylvinho for his performance in defence: "I apologise to him for not playing him more this season. He is a great player to have in the dressing room."
He concluded: "There's nothing more to do. We have won three trophies and now can celebrate with all of Barcelona."

TIACA is urging the US Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to expedite its evaluation of new technologies to support the pending 100% cargo screening mandate, scheduled to take effect in August 2010.
In its comments to TSA regarding its 'Interim Final Rule of Air Cargo Screening (IFR)', The International Air Cargo Association says it is concerned that much of the equipment currently certified for use for screening is inadequate and ill-suited for processing palletized air cargo. Existing technologies, the Association says, are mostly only appropriate for the passenger screening environment.
Air cargo screening requirements detailed in the IFR rely on existing technologies, notably TSA-approved methods of screening that include x-ray, explosives trace detection, explosives detection systems, explosives detection canine teams, and physical inspection along with verification of the description of the cargo on the shipping manifest. The rule adds: 'TSA may approve additional methods to ensure that the cargo does not pose a threat to transportation security and to assist in meeting the requirements of the 9/11 Act. TSA will continue to consider different technologies or methods for screening cargo transported on passenger or cargo flights. TSA would approve these additional methods and technologies based on their applicability and effectiveness in screening specific commodities.'
Ulrich Ogiermann, TIACA Chairman, said: 'New technologies geared towards the air cargo environment and capable of screening at the consolidated level are urgently needed. The availability of such technologies could have a significant impact on how the 100% screening threshold is met. We therefore urge TSA to ensure transparency in its review procedures , expedite its evaluation of new technologies and seek to deploy new technologies ahead of the August 2010 deadline.'
TIACA has broadly welcomed TSA's vision for implementing the air cargo screening requirements of the Implementing the Recommendations of the 9/11 Commission Act of 2007 and, in particular, for clearly defining the scope of the rule with respect to foreign-originating flights: 'This rule applies only to cargo loaded in the United States. It does not apply to either US aircraft operators or foreign air carriers when they load cargo outside the US and transport it into the US, nor to US or foreign all-cargo operations.' US and foreign carriers that load US-bound cargo in other countries must carry out security measures set out in their TSA-approved or accepted security programs.
The Association also commended TSA for using the rule to harmonize, 'to the extent practicable, all requirements for air cargo screening and chain of custody', as the lack of harmonization has, in the past, created confusion and occasional dislocation in the air cargo supply chain.
Whilst accepting the general rationale behind TSA's requirement that personnel with unescorted access to air cargo must obtain Security Threat Assessments (STAs) as a means of securing the supply chain, TIACA questioned the decision to impose a five-year expiration date on STAs, requiring a reapplication and payment of another fee. TIACA said a more reasonable solution is to design the STA database in an organic manner, to retain information on all STA applicants and recipients, and to periodically cross-check that information with any new information/red flags generated from the various terrorist and law enforcement databases used by TSA to vet individuals.
TIACA also noted that its members and other companies may have overpaid for STAs in the past based on the proposed cost stated in the IFR of approximately $13-$21. The Association called for any overpayments to be refunded to the companies concerned or credited to future STA applications.
TIACA said it strongly supports TSA's decision to implement the Certified Cargo Screening Program (CCSP) as a critical component for meeting the 100% screening mandate, and encourages all parties in the air cargo supply chain to evaluate whether to participat

No, I am not making a joke about turning 30 years old, as I was already 5 years old the day I died.
Let me explain.
It was March 28, 1986, Good Friday and the family and I were on our way to Grandma's house for Good Friday dinner and coloring eggs. I sat in the third row of the brown station wagon, driver's side, next to my older sister. My younger sister and brother sat in the second row with Mom and Dad, obviously, in front.
I fell asleep on the long drive just after my siblings and I 'Care Bear Stared' cars from driving too closely to the back bumper of the car. At some point the 5-point neon orange harness got uncomfortable to turn around in so the fun ended and I closed my eyes.
It was the intersection of Richards Grove Road and Route 32 the truck ran a red and T-boned our tiny car. I was asleep at the time, thumb in mouth and same hand covering half my face out of habit.
The side window of the car had imploded into the car and shattered itself across my face with a force that pushed my left eye, under the eyelid, back into my head and aligned with my left ear. I was told that it looked like someone had sprayed my face with sparkles when they found me unconscious and still buckled in the back row of the car, as no bleeding had begun when my Daddy came to unbuckle me. Little did he know, that I was long gone, and already dead.
I died on impact. I went from dreams about Care Bear Cousins to a completely new place I could not have imagined. I was weightless, calm, warm and fearless. I felt as though I was at Home; the most familiar and safe place I knew and yet nothing around me was familiar.
There was a voice.
It was not an audible voice like you or I hear on a day-to-day basis, but more of an innate tone for which my ears were not necessary. I turned to the voice instantly with a desire to put a face to the voice.
A light. It was a light brighter than any lightning, explosion or sunburst I have ever seen. It didn't hurt my eyes or make me want to look away but instead made me want to walk towards it. I did.
As I spoke back to this gentleman, he asked me if I wanted to stay with Him or go Home.
It was at this moment I realized I was in a word different from the one I fell asleep in an hour before. I started to hear commotion and my gaze went downward. I saw my tiny little 5-year old body lying on a stretcher along the side of a moving ambulance. I saw an EMT sitting in a chair while taking vitals and I saw the back of my Daddy's head as he rested it on his folded arms against my side. There was a sheet or blanket of some kind covering my face and my father's shoulders shaking, and his fist hitting the gurney caught my attention. I had never seen Daddy cry before.
I looked back towards the light and said, "I want to go Home."
It was in the instant following that statement that I found my Daddy's hand in mine and felt his breath and tears on my skin.
Then, there was Pain. There was pain along my entire body, in my eye, in my face. My head was pounding and I kept trying to lift my hand to take whatever was on my face, off. I wanted nothing more than to rub the 'sand' out of my eyes.
My Dad kept my hands at my side and I started to cry. Now I was scared. Now was in pain.
I must have passed out at this point because my next memory is waking up from my first surgery. There were bandages covering ½ my face, and they smelled. They smelled like cotton gauze, bacitracin and blood. I could not see out of my left eye and the bandage was tucked under my bottom lip in the most uncomfortable way.
I had a frontal compressed fracture of the skull, broken nose and an eye they thought would have to be removed. Dad signed the papers to remove it immediately following the accident and returned to his prayer group. The doctors went in to remove the eye and as if Gods hand was present it moved directly back into its original place; 20:20 vision.
I was 5. I had just turned 5. Having a 4 year-old myself now I cannot imagine what my parents felt when this happened to our family. My near death experiences change me. Not just because I have come back from death but because of everything I had to face growing up as a result of the accident.
I was bullied. I was ridiculed. I had multiple plastic, reconstructive surgeries for many years that followed to include one just after the millennial New Year to reconstruct my forehead.
As a child, I wore a hockey helmet to prevent my skull from caving back in after them pulled 50 pieces of skull bone out of my brain due to the initial injury of the accident. It was the Spring after the accident (about a year later) that I decided I would stop trying to make friends and stay inside at recess. I sat in a hot pink bean bag chain in the book corner of my kindergarten class and played alone. While alone, I sang to myself. I don't remember what I sang, but only that singing seemed to excuse me from hear the names the children called me; Monster, Scar Face, Ugly.
My teacher heard me singing and somehow I ended up agreeing to sing in the talent show coming up in a few weeks. More terrified to say no and disappoint her, then I was to sing, I caved and started making plans for my first performance.
I sang Dumb Dog from Annie, with a good friend dressed as the dog and swaying to the beat as I sang, I looked at the cracks in the hardwood floor on the stage to my elementary school stage. I mumbled most of the song, but belted the crap out of the bridge when the time came.
I felt a warmth come over my body, I felt safe. I felt Home again.
The moment the audience applauded, I remember looking up for the first time and feeling accepted for the first time since the accident. I was no longer being made fun of by my classmates, and I was instead being praised by more than just my family. I found a safe place and never wanted to leave.
Although I had found a safe place I will not lie to you and tell you that life was easy from that point. I faced long battles of depression, insecurity, debated suicide, suffered from anxiety and put myself in terrible situations that resulted in more emotional and physical trauma. I suffered a lot, but always found a place of safety on stage.
I often wondered why I was given a second chance at life when so many others are only given one shot and I try my best to live every day understanding that everything I have been through has only been part of the journey.
I just keep singing. That is who I am and who I know I was meant to be. I have never know in what capacity this would be or in what type of music. But today, 30 years Dead, I find myself given the opportunity to sing in our church's Good Friday Service, which I have never been asked to do.
I cannot help but to feel as though this is my journey; to give back to the bright light and voice that gave my life back to me…not just on the Spring afternoon in March of 1986, but on Good Friday long ago, at Calvary.

I spoke to Kelli Conlin, president of NARAL Pro-Choice NY, for an article in today's paper regarding the upcoming special session.
While she wants to see the Reproductive Health Act, a measure expanding abortion rights, acted on as soon as possible, she said she'll deal with a Republican or Democrat controlled chamber next year — however the recount chips may fall.
"From our perspective, we have the votes to pass it now, and we will have the votes regardless of these elections that are outstanding," Conlin said. "We also believe that, moving into the next legislative session, we have the votes and we will be pushing the leadership, whoever it is…From our perspective, we've always taken great pains to work with both sides."
No Republicans have publicly declared their support for the bill. Conlin's group endorsed several Democratic Senate candidates when the conference leadership committed to bring the bill to a floor vote in 2011, no matter what. Since the party in charge has a good deal of influence over the legislative calendar, the bill stands a better chance of coming up if Democrats are in control.
Conlin said that she foresees the GOP allowing some progressive issues to move — as a matter of political necessity.
"I think that the Republicans in the coming session are going ot have to face, as a party, some serious questions : how far are they going to allow [Conservative Party chief] Michael Long and others to drag them to the right, and how far to the right can they afford to go without alienating their base?" She said. "The hurdle is not having the votes to pass the bill. The hurdle is going to be getting Dean Skelos to bring it up for a vote…The question is, are they going to have to face facts that tey have to accommodate the views of the majority of New Yorkers."

Greetings Montanans! I'm Thomas Breck and I'm seeking the Montana Green Party's nomination for the 2018 Senate race. Like many Americans I was spurred into action by Bernie Sander's bid for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination. My wife Danielle Breck, and I passionately organized and campaigned our way through the primary season, and we attended the Montana Democratic convention as Bernie delegates. While at the convention our enthusiasm and belief in the democratic election of delegates were dashed, as party insiders had already determined who would (or perhaps wouldn't) be attending the national convention in Philadelphia. Critical oversight rulings were amended mid-process to ensure a favorable outcome for specific candidates. Thus our commitment to the Green Party emerged.
Fortunately, moving forward we expanded our existing research and political morality into an existing political party truly founded on progressive community rooted ideals. A party that will never take corporate donations from the Fossil Fuel industry or any other entity that seeks to minimize, oppress or otherwise further disempower underrepresented and minority communities. A party that cares about social and economic justice. A party that is willing and unafraid to stand up and say Native Lives Matter, Black Lives Matter, and this Planet, our mother, matters! We immediately began our petitioning efforts to secure this amazing party's presidential candidate ballot access here in Montana, and in two short months we exceeded our goal of 5000 signatures, and ultimately having collected more than 12000 in our efforts across the state. Since those elections we have begun serious and highly organized efforts to revive the Green Party here in Montana. We helped to organize our first state convention in over a decade and are now engaged in an active petition effort to re-qualify the Greens as a state party so that we can run candidates in the 2018 election season.
I am a devoted husband and the father of 3 beautiful daughters who are the center of my universe and the reason I want to make our world a more just and loving place. 39 years on this planet has taught me solutions are real and possible so long as reason and discourse are achieved. So on behalf of our children, and for the posterity of future generations, I am standing up and running for the current open congressional seat on the Green Party ticket. This is a fight that reaches beyond the (2) party system as evidenced by the more than 50% of US voters who chose to sit out in past elections. I will fight to reform the power structure in D.C and give people back control of our democracy, because people not voting is in no way a result of complacency on their part, but because the (2) Party system fails repeatedly to provide them with the sort of ethical candidate to place their vote. I will stand up for our planet and all its inhabitants to protect it and us from those who presently seek to destroy our homes in the name profit. If I'm elected to congress I will never cease in the fight for all human rights here locally, nationally and internationally; I will fight diligently for environmentally sound business and jobs creation here in the state of Montana for a more realistic long term and sustainable economy; and most importantly to fight to protect the headwaters of the Nation's major watersheds.
Born the eldest son of my father a saw mill worker and a my mother a proud homemaker in Chehalis, Washington. When I was a young child the Mill my father worked for, along with many others across the state, closed due to the collapse of the Timber industry. As a result my parents were forced to move our family away from home in search of work. We settled in Texas, where my father first found work in the oil fields and later as a carpenter. Not long after a serious work related injury to his spine found us once again struggling to manage financially. As a teenager we left Texas and went to stay with my father's brother, in his home state of California. We would spend the next fews years bouncing between the sunny California coast and the biggest little city in the world, Reno Nevada. Showing later physical health improvements, my father went back into the construction trade to make a living. When I was older I began working alongside my father and learning the trades & skills he embraced which would later become my life for nearly two decades. The journey to find my place in the world and an my own identity landed me in Salt Lake City where I applied my trade in the pre Olympics construction boom.
By the spring of 2000 I had decided to experience the northwest and moved to Portland, Oregon. During a brief stop to visit my parents in the Sun Valley area of Idaho, I met my best friend Danielle, who would later become my wife and the mother of my three beautiful daughters. It's a time that exists amidst the most cherished times in my life and In the fall of 2004, when our oldest daughter was not quite two, we moved to Missoula so my wife could pursue her education at the University of Montana.
In 2008 the ongoing crashes and instability in the economy made working as a carpenter untenable. Looking towards the future I enrolled at the University Of Montana, and after some time and a only a few declared majors, I became completely focused on public policy. This learned drive to build and get engaged in process that organically merged with Danielle's passion for activism, organizing, and political engagement; the result is a drive to advance progressive politics outside of the (2) party system free of billionaire out of state corporate monetary influence. We have an undying supply of optimism, and an unwavering passion for social justice. My beliefs in the needs and for making change are only matched by my hope in the possibilities of a lasting and brighter green future for us all.

AAPA heralds Clean Diesel Bill Reauthorization?
It now goes to President Obama to be signed into law
in the News2018 MHI Innovation Award finalists announced The Overlooked Competitive Advantage: Connected Teams Reusable Packaging Association announces 2018 board and committee chairs Face security threats head-on. Protect data beyond perimeter. Maersk's "Transformation" Under Scrutiny More News
The American Association of Port Authorities (AAPA) today applauded congressional passage of the "Diesel Emissions Reduction Act of 2010," or DERA, which now goes to President Obama to be signed into law.
The bipartisan bill, introduced on the Senate side as S. 3973 by Sens. George Voinovich (R-OH) and Tom Carper (D-DE), and on the House side as HR 6482 by Reps. Laura Richardson (D-CA) and Doris Matsui (D-CA), is a five-year reauthorization of the beneficial 2005 legislation that established a voluntary national and state-level grant and loan program to reduce diesel emissions.
Susan Monterverde, AAPA's vice president of government relations, said in an interview that the biggest obstacle to getting this bill passed was "timing."
"The bill was not introduced until November 18, so the fact that we got this passed in both the House and Senate before the end of the year, was quite an achievement."
According to AAPA President Kurt Nagle, the ports association has strongly advocated for the bill's reauthorization, and grants available through DERA have been invaluable in reducing emissions from older diesel engines, including those in use at America's seaports along the Atlantic, Pacific, Gulf and Great Lakes coasts.
"The DERA program helps ensure that verified emissions reduction technologies are put into place earlier than would happen otherwise," said Nagle. "Reducing emissions from diesel engines provides significant public health benefits for port communities and port workers. Lowering emissions from engines used in ships, trucks, trains and other port-related freight handling equipment has improved air quality for entire metropolitan areas."
Nagle further noted that DERA grants support American jobs. The program provides grants to fund engine upgrades and retrofits, many of which are manufactured in the United States. He said that installation of new engines or retrofit technology is usually done on or near the site where the engine is used, further benefiting U.S. employment.
the nation's commerce needs and be good stewards of the coastal environment, and have used DERA grants to reduce emissions in some of the country's most densely populated areas.

I didn't have to turn this photo black and white; Nature did it for me. An afternoon storm blew up so quickly on the Gulf that everything went dark right after our group of fifteen was seated in a restaurant overlooking the beach. Then came the deluge, and by the time we'd finished eating, the storm was over. Great timing.

Turnbull and Gillard are Tweedledum and Tweedledee – 2 persons, nominally different but practically the same. Practically the same for both indulge in PC multiculturalist dribble; both falsely promote Islam to the disadvantage of others; both issue forth a type of PC 'Newstate' speech where the 'elite' eg politicians, academics determine what we will believe and what we can say; both trawl for the Islamic vote; neither apply honest, informed critical analysis to Islam and both abuse or allow the abuse of those who dare state the dangerous truth regarding Islam (ie racist, bigot); neither could care less about the kaffir-view or the view of the non-Muslims brutalised in the past and present by Islam. Whether both are in fear of Islam or are arrogantly ignorant and simply don't want to know anything that destroys their false elitist views or whether they seek the Islamic vote or money or just want to pretend they are 'non-discriminating' multiculturalists who'd let Nazis in if they wanted to come, I don't know, but both are the useful idiots of Islam, both are dhimmis and both pose a real threat to the Australia we know and our values, culture and open democracy.
Gillard: Tweedledee
Well I won't waste much time on Gillard as we all know the Labour Party sold out to Islam ages ago (see Political collaborators: Labour and Liberal: Tanner, Downer, Pyne. Circe this site). Hawke and Keating grovelled to Islam in exchange for the Islamic vote and the grovelling never stopped. Most Muslims reside in Labour seats and so can exert terrific power on their Marxist politicians. Gillard has a solid Marxist/Socialist background. As I have stated in the above article, there is a similarity between totalitarian ideologies like Marxism/communism, Nazism and of course the superior one, Islam.
So let's just look at Gillard's last efforts to foist Islam onto us all. One cannot be certain whether she is just grossly ignorant of the reality of Islam or whether she is actively engaged in destroying our 'capitalist', Judeo-Christian society as has been revealed to be the case for Britain's Labour party,
'but in several British newspapers I read that Labour opened the door to mass immigration in a deliberate policy to change the social structures of the UK. Andrew Neather, a former government advisor and speech writer for Tony Blair and Jack Straw, said the aim of Labour's immigration strategy was, and I quote, to "rub the Right's nose in diversity and render their arguments out of date". If this is true, this is symptomatic of the Left.
Ladies and gentlemen, make no mistake: The left is facilitating Islamization. Leftists, liberals, are cheering for every new shariah bank being created, for every new shariah mortgage, for every new Islamic school, for every new shariah court. Leftists consider Islam as being equal to our own culture. Shariah law or democracy? Islam or freedom? It doesn't really matter to them. But it does matter to us. The entire leftist elite is guilty of practising cultural relativism.' (Wilders 2010)
500 million or more of Australian taxpayer's money for Islamic schools in Islamic Indonesia
We all know this is utterly appalling for Muslims and Muslim countries can call on huge Islamic financial resources to further Islam, there is NO need for Australia to provide a cent. Muslims hand out literally hundreds of millions to 'buy' university departments across the west – it doesn't cost much to get those useful 'pro-Islamic' idiots – while we are paying hundreds of millions to educate Islamic children in Islamic schools in an Islamic country. I'm sure many see the insanity in this so WHY is the Labour Party so utterly imbecilic!
Indonesia is known for its persecution of others. Remember Bali --a Hindu area where many Hindus and 'tourists' were killed. Remember Indonesia's violent occupation of Christian East Timor and its ongoing violence and forced conversions in Papua/Irian Jiya. Remember the slaughter, rape, genital mutilation and expulsion of Christians from the Moluccas and surrounds in 2000-2001. In 2005 Christian school girls were beheaded and elsewhere teachers were arrested... Over a quarter of Australia's Tsunami donation went to Aceh which enforces sharia. Since independence (1945) over 1025 churches have closed, 110 between 2004-2007 due to Muslim attacks. The attacks continue and non-Muslim religious leaders claim Indonesia's president looks the other way! (a summary with references is in 'Islam's SE Asian slavery and jihad (Indonesia, Malaysia, southern Thailand, Philippines): part L in Islam's genocidal slavery:' circe this site)
But Gillard's appeasement of Islam using our money knows no bounds. She foolishly claims she's educating kids in Islamic schools to stop Islamic 'terrorism.' This shows her complete lack of knowledge regarding Islam's text or perhaps it just shows her capacity for deliberate blindness and self-deception or outright lying.
All who know Islam's text know that is all a child/adult needs to 'hate what allah hates' (the non-Muslim) and to carry-out the deadly instructions in the text, namely to kill until all the religion is allah's.
Huntington in 'The Clash of Civilisations' noted the violence in Islam and the fact that Islam was NOT victimised. He also noted that introducing Islam into schools paved the way for further 'radicalisation.'
P111 'In most countries a central element of Islamization was the development of Islamic social organisations and the capture of previously existing organisations by Islamic groups. Islamists paid particular attention both to establishing Islamic schools and to expanding Islamic influence in state schools.'
P115 Also notes how funding Islamic education 'led to the education of large numbers of students and people in Islamic values, making them MORE open to Islamist appeals and graduated militants who went forth to work on behalf of Islamist goals.'
Abu Bakr Bashir and others will be ecstatic that dumb Australia is giving hundreds of millions to Indonesia to educate children in ISLAMIC schools –most of his work is paid for by Auzzies!. Then it's easy to simply ask a person trained in Islam's text (which IS the problem), when they will be prepared to carry out those 'kill' instructions and there's so many kill and hate verses to choose from!
STOP giving Australia's money to any Islamic group in Australia or outside or to any Islamic or majority Muslim country.
Gillard rewards illegal, mainly Muslim male, immigrants:
The way to stop illegal immigrants Julia is NOT to reward them for their illegal activity –this also preserves their life as they nolonger see any value in hopping boats to Australia. Muslims have asylum in the Islamic world ---57 countries where non-Muslims cannot live in safety or freedom so these countries are for Muslims only –indeed in some like the Maldives, ALL citizens must be Muslim!
We need to take in the real victims –those who suffer Islamic violence but cannot escape the Islamic world for they have no money and their applications for legal immigration are NOT processed by the Muslims in the appropriate offices. It's time we stopped all Islamic immigration but at the least we must halt Islamic illegal immigration which does indeed take places from others and makes a mockery of our laws and border control. Instead of flying these rioting Muslims around Australia, put all illegal immigrant Muslims into big military planes and return them to their last port and develop special visas for the real victims –non-Muslims from the Islamic world!
If they still want asylum, let them apply from Indonesia --or the first country they enter after leaving their own as they are supposed to do. Why the urge to travel all the way to Australia --could it be our welfare/ refugee goodies coupled with our weak border protection, Islam grovelling Labour government and the bleeding-heart relativists who protect those responsible for the vicious persecution of non-Muslims who cannot escape their Islamic hell and who happily displace those in refugee camps who abide by our laws and apply to come here legally.
Imagine what we could do with the massive amount of money saved by simply, immediately sending back illegal immigrants!
Exit the UN and take control of our borders. Refuse and return illegal immigrants and the boat problem will vanish overnight. Only those from neighbouring Islands escaping Islamic persecution in Papua/Irian jiya or Indonesia or Malaysia can regard Australia as their first country to claim asylum.
Of course Islam is so wonderful one cannot comprehend why Muslims leave the Islamic world and their precious umma. Or are they setting-up Islamic societies here in enclaves that mirror the Islamic world including the operation of sharia law and Islamic schools to brainwash the next generation into Islam (also paid for by Auzzies!)
Gillard releases trouble making Muslims into our community.
In the February 2011 sessions of fights, injuries and property destruction in the Christmas Island detention Centre we learn --
'While the catalyst is believed to be tension between Afghan Hazara boys and the protective fathers of girls in the centre, advocates say the violence is the consequence of frustration over indefinite detention, cramped conditions and inadequate facilities. Many of the unaccompanied minors are unable to attend school on the island. All are denied access to the community oval adjacent to the centre because of a dispute with the local cricket club.'(Gordon 2011 and Bolt. Blog Tuesday, March 01)
And Gillard's response –well release for those claiming to be 'minors' ie under 18!
Look how well they'd fit in ---after all girls are just cat's meat, and violence is the answer if they're not happy, and as Muslims there's no need to get on with the local kuffars. Don't mention that there are plenty of sporting activities in the detention facility...
The immigration rort of the minors -- How old are these unaccompanied minors anyway? The 'youths' seem older than they claim and of course we have irrefutable evidence of their age, name etc (Ha, Ha) And of course these rioting, girl hunting little darlings can bring in the whole family including their wife/partner, children, siblings, mum, dad...and there's lots of keen lawyers just working away to make this happen (probably paid by the Auzzie taxpayer!)
Yes Julia, keep bringing Muslims in and we too will have rape rates due to 'non-western men' to rival Europe (if we don't already have them but well hidden), not to mention violence, Muslim crime gangs and property destruction.
Gillard gives MORE money to Muslims to stop extremism
Further evidence of Gillard's complete ignorance of Islam! The problem is Islam's text so to stop Islamic 'extremism' STOP bringing in Muslims and stop children already here being taught Islam in Islamic schools, mosques etc.. Remember the lovely little covered Muslim girl with her genocide to Jews sign paraded in Melbourne 2009 (see 'Genocide tot' this site)– Gee Where did she get an idea like that??
What's even more disgusting is Gillard is sending these Muslims out to preach their da'wa, their pro-Islamic lies, to the public and WE pay for it and this is called 'removing the myths about Islam.'
Well here's some myths that need to be removed –Islam is peaceful –NO; Islam is good for women –NO; Islam is tolerant –NO and so on but what's the bet this will actually be an exercise in forcing pro-Islamic myths onto us, no alternative views allowed.
"The program will support activities that directly assist young people to disengage from intolerant and radical ideologies," Mr McClelland said. (Johnston 2011)
Wow, does this mean we are funding people to LEAVE ISLAM --- NO, didn't think so! Quite the reverse!
"This is about young people taking back traditional Islam, and out of the hands of those who have interpreted it as some sort of violent and extreme religion." (Johnston 2011)
Mr Dellal said it was important for young Muslims to educate the wider community about their religion. (Johnston 2011)
These two statements are laughable. Try to find a more perverted, sadistic, violent, misogynist, racist prophet than Mohammad, the perfect example for all Muslims. This IS traditional Islam, the biggest mass murdering, slave-trading, raping, pillaging, female abusing, racist gang the world has ever seen and still sees today! Al-Qaeda, the Taliban ---they follow 'pure Islam'. (see Ibrahim 2007 for translations of intercepted al-Qaeda teachings based solidly on Islamic text). Believe me, no 'interpretation' is required – the command to do violence to others is plain and clear.
We do need to be 'educated' about the very real danger of Islam but that's not what we're getting. We will get endless 'rosey Islam' lies as if the Age, ABC and SBS aren't enough! Muslims are free to lie (taqiyya) to sell us Islam so our 'education' must come from non-Muslims capable of a critical analysis of Islam, and currently these people are denied the right to speak, threatened and locked out of public debate on Islam or called racists, bigots, Islamophobes...
More importantly, Muslims need to be educated on how to live in a diverse society where members of different religions and none are equal before the law, where men and women are equals, etc where many of the attitudes, behaviours and laws of Islam/Muslims are totally unacceptable.
How far will our Labour party's trawling for the Islamic vote go before it joins with Islam to subvert our form of government, our laws, values and culture?
Look at all these points above. Can you think of a way that will stop all this horror spreading into Australia and SAVE Australians a fortune! What, STOP Islamic immigration legal or illegal and close down Islamic schools and mosques here so children have some chance of becoming Australian ---wash your mouth out!
Imagine NOT paying for illegal Islamic immigrants whom the UN turns into parasitic refugees when they are the abusers of others. Imagine, NO need for fancy detention centres (smashed by these illegal entrants) and lawyers and special everything to make these Muslims comfy. If there were NO Muslims there would be NO need for money to stop or monitor Islamic radicalism and terrorist plots saving us a fortune not to mention avoiding the human agony of Islamic terrorism and threats. If there were NO Muslims there would be no need for special everything in our universities/government/businesses/schools to satisfy Muslims only. Food would be cheaper as we are NOT tricked or forced by lack of an alternative, to buy 'halal' food where money is paid for Muslim inspections of our food processing and for halal certification simply to satisfy the demands of Muslims – we don't need these!
The reality is that Islam's text is horrific and can be acted on at anytime so the danger exists where Islam's followers exist. This is NOT the case with any other group of people.
Muslim children at play - please do not worry it's only a game!
Tragically Marxist Labour is a facilitator of Islamisation ---- aided by some Liberal dhimmis.

On Dark Streets with Solar
º º º º º º
Hemant and Jos, the managers of AuroRE, a unit responsible for promoting renewable energy applications within and outside Auroville, talk about their new project.
It's dynamics. We learn what works in Auroville, we take it out to other parts of India where we learn new lessons which, in turn, help us improve what we are doing here." Hemant enjoys talking systems. He's also pretty nifty at setting them up: he's about the only person I know who understands the complex financial jugglery involved in allowing Aurovilians and others to get their hands on solar pump sets at wildly discounted prices. By 1995 about 150 of these sets had been installed in the community, about 150 kW worth of installed capacity. The next year, however, was a quiet one: both the demand and the subsidies dried up. Suddenly, Hemant had time on his hands. "Every day I came to the office just to metaphorically raise the flag in the morning and lower it again in the afternoon." The next major project was the Matrimandir Solar Plant, which was commissioned in 1997, but this was followed by another two year hiatus. "I really began to wonder," recalls Hemant, "if I shouldn't have been doing something else. However, I took the opportunity to search out creative solutions for financing solar developments, and this finally bore fruit."
The 'fruit' was a contract to set up the financial package for providing solar pump sets to farmers in the Punjab and other states: AuroRE was also responsible for the installation and servicing. "There were times when I thought we'd bitten off more than we could chew. We had to install 219 pump sets in 3 months over a huge area - from a border village in Punjab to a place in West Bengal, from Kanyakumari on the southern tip of India to the northernmost village in Gujarat - and we were beginning from scratch: we had no office up there, no technicians, no nothing! Fortunately at that moment Jos came along."
Jos has a degree in Renewable Energy technologies and project management experience in both Africa and India. "I knew we could do it," says Jos, "but I also realized it would be a huge challenge. Apart from setting up an office and mastering the logistics of getting all the equipment sent to the right places, we had to train five teams who, at the peak, had to install 7 systems a day. It also meant that Rishi, Arnab and myself, the project managers, had to work 12-13 hour days for three months without a break!" "We made plenty of mistakes," adds Hemant cheerfully, "because we had to design things on the hoof, at top speed. For example, our first design for the tracking mechanism had to be modified after some of the systems developed cracks during an exceptionally windy summer. We ended up replacing every single tracking mechanism, even the ones which had not developed problems: after all, our reputation was on the line. But we learned something invaluable - how to do far-flung projects."
This was just as well because the next one was even further flung: in remote and beautiful Ladakh. This region is no stranger to solar projects as the high altitudes offer ideal conditions - low ambient temperatures and more sunny days per year than any other part of India - and the huge distances and widely dispersed population makes the generation of electricity by conventional means unviable. Yet even by Ladakh's standards this is to be a huge project: over five years, at a cost of 433 crore rupees (approximately $86 million), thousands of home-lighting systems and solar lanterns will be distributed, and solar power plants, similar in size to that at Matrimandir, will be set up to provide electricity to remote villages.
"Fortunately," says Jos, "this time we were only responsible for the project coordination of part of the first phase, but this still involved supervising the installation of 8,700 home lighting kits - comprising a 37 Watt solar panel, battery, charge controller and two 11 Watt lights - and 6,000 solar lanterns. The latter went mainly to nomadic herdsmen while the home lighting sets were for houses in remote villages. What was unique about this scheme was that, unlike previous schemes, the government was not giving away the systems free. Instead, the end-user had to make an initial down payment and thereafter pay a small fee every month. The funds collected pay for regular servicing by technicians as well as battery replacement after five years, something which previous government schemes had disastrously overlooked. A further innovation is that the money stays in the community: the local panchayats are responsible for collecting the fees."
"The best reward," says Jos, "was seeing the enormous impact these systems had on people. I went to inspect the installation in one house which had missed out on all the previous electrification schemes. A woman showed me the old wick lamp she had been using for years. Then she switched on her new light. She had tears in her eyes. She just couldn't believe how much light she had now! In fact, the local name for it is 'rangwang ot', or 'the anytime light'."
The Ladakh project was an energy service scheme. In other words, the end user hires an energy service rather than purchasing the equipment outright. "Similar schemes have been tried successfully in many other countries," points out Hemant, "and I'd been interested in the concept for years. Finally, after long talks with friends in the solar fraternity, it emerged that one local application could be to rent out solar lanterns." A friend suggested they begin in Chennai and offered his house for the incubation phase of the project. What made this even more interesting for Hemant and Jos was that this friend had helped some local slum children get an education and was looking around for something for them to do next. "It seemed perfect," says Hemant. "The project could fulfill two objectives at once, helping us break into the energy provider market while providing these boys with the next step in their careers." The operative word here is 'could'. "We were really on dark streets with this one," admits Hemant, "we had no idea how it would turn out."
In the event, a niece of the Chennai sponsor took up the supervision of the project, and while the first two boys didn't stick it out, the next two came up trumps. "They're much better businessmen than us," says Jos admiringly. "They went to the vendors on the beach - who, as slum-dwellers, were part of the same 'family' - and offered to rent them solar lanterns for the same price as the vendors previously paid to hire out Petromax lanterns. Then they increased the price for weekends and holidays, the really busy times. They began with one lantern, now they're up to 65!"
The vendors pay a deposit, then rent the lanterns by the night. Originally the boys brought the lanterns to the vendors in the evening, then picked them up late at night, but now the vendors collect the lanterns from the house where they are charged up by solar panels during the day. AuroRE chooses and provides the technology - the lanterns, chargers and solar panels - and also provides a loan for part of the cost of the equipment (well-wishers have donated the rest).
"Everybody's learned a lot," says Hemant. "The beach environment is very hostile - all that sand and wind - but after some initial training the boys now do all the necessary servicing themselves. They're incredible! Meanwhile market forces are telling us which is the best lantern - our initial design was rejected by the vendors because it didn't give enough light, so we had to come up with a bigger one. It also emerged that the solar lanterns are 'gender-positive': unlike the Petromax lanterns, our lanterns can easily be lit by ladies, thus giving them more independence."
AuroRE plans to expand the scheme in Chennai. They are also considering introducing it to Pondicherry street vendors. While Hemant can hardly contain his enthusiasm it takes a lot to make an economist completely lose his head. "The key component in all this is the battery," he points out. "The batteries in the lights are supposed to last five years but we just don't know how they will perform. If they give out in one and a half years, we're definitely making a loss. If they last three years, we're ahead. And if they hold out for four years we're going to start issuing shares in this enterprise to all Aurovilians!" As for the future...Hemant takes a deep breath and launches out while Jos leans forward, trying to look as if this isn't new to him too. I see three areas which we'll be involved in. Firstly, product integration using advanced solar technologies: in other words, we'll identify the best components then put them together in an optimized system. We're already working on an improved solar rice cooker, solar lantern and solar home lighting kit. Secondly we want to focus much more upon providing renewable energy services, similar to the experiment in Chennai and particularly in the area of solar thermal applications. In the long run we may explore community solar cooking applications on the scale of our Solar Kitchen. Finally we need to consolidate our experience of project management, which is the activity which runs everything else that we're doing at present. "Basically, we'd like to see our role as a catalytic agent, like the hub of a network. In this way we could remain small but we'd have the freedom to develop techniques and applications which would then spread through a network of suppliers, entrepreneurs, NGOs etc. into India as a whole."
Why stop at India? I'm about to ask. But my tape has run out...

I've been having sex for about a year now and im fine till it comes around the time of my period. I'm fine just before my period, it's just after. If I try to have sex after my period it really hurts and I don't understand why. People have said maybe it's because you've bled dry? But I don't feel dry and I can still feel fully aroused but still experience the pain....
I'm 13, and want to have sex: will it hurt?
I really want to have sex for the first time. But I am only thirteen. I know vaguely what to do and I know to use protection. But I was talking to my 17-year-old cousin (who has had sex before) if it hurt his girlfriend the first time. And he had said that she was screaming and she felt as if she wanted to die. This information scared me a little too much for comfort....
I feel too tight: should I use painkillers during sex?
I am a small girl and I am tight and it hurts if I try to put anything to big inside me. I have 2 vibrators and a dildo. One of the vibrations goes in with no hassle the other one is a little bit bigger and its not as easy but and I have a dildo but when I try to put the dildo in it hurts like a burning pain. I bought the second vibrator to loosen me up and I hope it's working......
Pain and nausea from sex?
My boyfriend and I have been sexually active for about two months now and were both virgins before this. We have always used condoms and it has always been enjoyable for both of us. However, many times after we have had sex I feel a dull ache around my lower abdomen or lower back area. I usually notice it within a couple of hours after sex....
And more with the popping of cherries.
I am very confused about "popping my cherry". I have previously read that everyone has to have their cherry popped, but then again some say that there is no skin thing. If not, than why does it hurt when you have sex for the first time or why do you bleed?...
Painful fingering
My boyfriend and I were feeling very heated last night, so he decided to finger me. I was fine with that, obviously, because he asked if I wanted it and I said yes. We've decided we want to have sex but are both worried about the pain. And last night, he wanted to explore, and I told him go ahead. He tried to stick his finger in "the hole" and it hurt, very badly....
first intercourse: a pain for us both
Me and my girlfriend were both virgins and just had a go at intercourse for the first time. Unfortunately, her vagina is really tight and is pulling the foreskin on my penis back causing pain for me and also for her. I've fingered her a few times to help loosen it up, and wore a condom to help with the lubrication, but it's just really painful....
Too Young for Sexual Pain?
I Googled the hell out of my problem until I came upon a curious condition called vulvodynia -- or more specifically, vulvar vestibulitis syndrome. Something clicked, the symptoms there... that was me, those stories were me! I brushed it off again as my mind being overactive and diagnosing myself with something that didn't exist – isn't that what hypochondriacs do, cruise the Web looking for obscure problems with big names for every little symptom?
Is anal sex no different?
My boyfriend says that anal sex is no different than regular sex. Is that true? He also says we don't have to use a condom? Also, will I still be a virgin if I have anal sex? Will it hurt as much?...
Too big for me?
My boyfriend and I have been trying to have sex and it just doesn't work. I'm a virgin and he isn't. I think he's too big for me. Or is it the position? Any suggestions?...

Limerick TDs to return to work
LIMERICK's seven TDs will return their desks at Leinster House this Wednesday following the Dail's eight-week summer recess.
The forthcoming Dail term, which will continue until early December, promises to be more interesting than normal.
Not only will there be changes in the way it operates, but the new term will coincide with the presidential election, three referenda and a by-election in Dublin West.
The continuing recession and the difficulties it has brought the country look set to dominate the political agenda as will the countdown to budget 2012.
In that context, the next few months will, perhaps, be the most important in the career of Deputy Michael Noonan as he prepares to deliver his first budget as Minister for Finance.
Former Minister for Defence, Willie O'Dea says he does not envy the challenge which his constituency colleague faces in the coming months.
He says his focus will be to represent the people of Limerick as best he can during the upcoming Dail session.
"It is a relief to be out of power at the moment. The party (Fianna Fail) is in a bleak state. I was re-elected by the people and I am going to do my best to serve them," he said.
One Limerick TD who will be busier than most over the next few months will be Minister of State at the Department of Foreign Affairs Jan O'Sullivan.
The Labour TD will oversee the launch of the Export Trade Council at the end of this month and she will also lead trade missions to Saudi Arabia, Qatar and South Africa towards the end of the year.
Deputy Kieran O'Donnell says new procedures in the way the Dail operates will make it easier for TDs to highlight issues of concern to their local constituents.
Deputy Niall Collins agrees and says his position on the opposition benches won't stop him from representing his constituents.
"I intend to use the forthcoming Dail term to continue to voice the concerns of issue to the people of County Limerick and the Midwest Region."
For Limerick's youngest TD, Deputy Patrick O'Donovan, the new Dail term is just his second since he was elected, along with his running mate Dan Neville, for the for the first time in February.
He is still on a learning curve but says the upcoming Dail term will be hugely important. "It will probably be the most important of the five years," he said.

Sports Broadcasts Are Live TV's Last Stronghold
by Felix Richter, Statista.com
Over the past decade, the rise of digital video recorders and streaming services such as Netflix and Hulu has changed the way people consume TV content.
As time-shifting and binge-watching became more and more popular, people stopped waiting a week for another episode of their favorite show and instead watched what they wanted when they wanted to.
However, there is one type of programming that has proven immune to these trends: sports broadcasting. While many die-hard sports fans have tried to record a game while attending a late aunt's birthday party, most of them will confirm that watching a game time-shifted just isn't the same. Data published by Nielsen nicely illustrates sports programming's relative rise in relevance for TV stations: in 2005, sports programs accounted for 14 percent of the Top 100 live TV programs in the United States. By last year, that figure had risen to 93 percent.
This chart shows breaks down the Top 100 live TV programs in the United States by type.

Bioneers on KRCC 2
Wednesdays, 6:30-7:00 PM
Founder Kenny Ausubel coined the term Bioneers in 1990 to describe an emerging culture. Bioneers are social and scientific innovators from all walks of life and disciplines who have peered deep into the heart of living systems to understand how nature operates, and to mimic "nature's operating instructions" to serve human ends without harming the web of life. Nature's principles—kinship, cooperation, diversity, symbiosis and cycles of continuous creation absent of waste—can also serve as metaphoric guideposts for organizing an equitable, compassionate and democratic society.

New Scientist has just done a wonderful "interview" with computer foremother Ada Lovelace, drawn from her actual correspondence, in honor of Ada Lovelace Day, Oct. 16. Seems clear to me that her special brain would be recognized as "Aspie" (Asperger's Syndrome) today. Though we might lack her degree of brilliance, many of us will relate to her description of thought process.

Ada Lovelace (1815-1852) wrote the first recognised algorithm. To mark Ada Lovelace Day on 16 October, which celebrates inspirational women in science, New Scientist has secured an exclusive interview.
