Many people may not realize how important and affordable the coverage is to help protect your rented apartment or home. If there was a fire, a burglary, a natural disaster or other covered loss, a policy from Erie Insurance1 would help cover:
One reason many renters do not get insurance is that they incorrectly assume their landlord's policy covers their belongings for theft or disaster. In reality, it typically only covers the landlord's property.
Everything you own has value, and we know how important it is for you to protect your possessions. Renters insurance can do that, and the coverage is priced reasonably. If you already have an ERIE auto insurance policy, you may also qualify for a discount. Get in touch with us for more details.

The making of the Super City
This essay charts the progress of local government in Auckland, from shabby colonial settlement to Super City, with the 'Greater Auckland movement' somewhere in between. It shows the significance of local politics and policy to everyday life, and ponders the question of whether Aucklanders will be better off for being denizens of the new Super City.
A draft is available on request. The essay is to become part of a volume of essays, called A Super City? Views of Auckland being edited by Jack Ross and me, for the School of Social and Cultural Studies at Massey University Albany.

Family Disaster Plan
Most shelters are not equipped to provide meals, beds, or emergency care. If evacuated to a shelter, you must bring food, clothing, bedding, and special items with you.
Pets are seldom allowed in shelters. Contact your local humane society or vet for information on how to care for pets and livestock in a disaster.
Meet with family members to discuss what to do in an emergency. Plan how your family will stay in contact if separated by disaster. Pick two meeting places: (1) a location a safe distance from your home in case of fire, and (2) a place outside your neighborhood in case you can't return home. Choose an off-island or out-of-state friend or relative as a "check-in contact" for family members to call.
Post emergency telephone numbers by every phone and put a list of the numbers in your wallet or purse. Program the numbers into cell phones.
Show responsible family members how and when to shut off water, gas, and electricity at main switches.
Learn first aid and CPR. Contact your local chapter of the American Red Cross for information and training.
Hold neighborhood meetings to plan how you and your neighbors can work together after a disaster.
Maintain and practice your family emergency plan regularly. Testing of monthly warning systems can be a reminder to think how up-to-date your plans and your Disaster Supply Kit are. Or perhaps you would find it easier to be reminded by the following dates:
- March: When Mainland relatives "Spring Forward" to daylight savings time.
- April: Tsunami Awareness month in Hawaii.
- May: Flood Awareness Month in Hawaii.
- June: Hurricane Awareness Month in Hawaii.
- November: When Mainland relatives "Fall Back" to standard time.
- December: The first month after the end of Hurricane Season.
- Any date that you would never forget.
If you are keeping everything in order, most months you will be able to confidently say to yourself that you have done all you can to prepare; other times you will think "change the batteries" or "rotate the food supplies."

The Latest from Iran (14 September): The Regime Stages a Protest Over a Movie
Thursday's protest in front of the Swiss Embassy, which represents US interests, in Tehran
See also Iran Propaganda Feature: Fars News Makes Up Interview with "Bahrain Opposition Leader" br>
The Latest from Iran (13 September): Diversions and Selective Condemnations
1615 GMT: Trade Watch. Mehr reports that Iran and Pakistan have struck a barter deal --- Iranian oil for Pakistani food.
The agreement was signed in Lahore between representatives of Iranian and Pakistani Chambers of Commerce.http://www.mehrnews.com/fa/newsdetail.aspx?NewsID=1695745
1555 GMT: Currency Watch. The website Pana claims that foreign exchange traders are using wireless devices at Istanbul Square in Tehran to sell dollars and that, despite threats to shut down "illegal" vendors, the Central Bank is not intervening.
Pana says the traders are getting up to 28000 Rials per dollar, higher than the 23880:1 to 25000:1 posted by Iranian media on Thursday.
1520 GMT: Protest Watch. Finally, an indication of the size of the Tehran protest today --- one of a set of photographs from Mehr:
1510 GMT: Politics Watch. Arya News claims the hard-line Constancy Front, formed before the 2012 Parliamentary elections and led by Ayatollah Mesbah Yazdi, has been hindered by a split between its Tehran and Qom branches.
1505 GMT: Tough Talk Friday Prayers. In Mashhad, Ayatollah Alamolhoda has said, "We will sacrifice US and Israel for the Hidden Imam....The Islamic Republic's enemies have gone mad and are like rabid dogs."
1455 GMT: The Battle Within. Inspector General Mostafa Pourmohammadi has filed a complaint against the newspaper Iran, which is close to the Ahmadinejad Government, and 1st Vice President Mohammad Reza Rahimi for slander.
Both the newspaper and Rahimi have accused Pourmohammadi of corruption over his handling of 21 billion Tomans (about $17 million at official rate).
1420 GMT: Protest Watch. Press TV has posted a photograph of today's regime-backed protest over the US=produced film on the Prophet Mohammad:
However, neither IRNA nor Fars has posted images of protests so far.
1410 GMT: Tough Talk of the Day. Yahya Rahim Safavi, a senior military advisor to the Supreme Leader, has said, "The stupidity of the Zionist regime's leaders to threaten Iran has put the residents of the occupied lands http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/09/14/us-iran-israel-hezbollah-idUSBRE88D0P620120914" target="_blank">one step away from the grave. If, one day, the Israeli regime takes action against us, resistance groups, especially Hezbollah...will respond more easily."
1125 GMT: Protest Watch. Fars claims that protesters rallied after Tehran Friday Prayers but so far its photo is of yesterday's gathering in front of the Swiss Embassy.
At the Friday Prayer, Ayatollah Jannati, the head of the Guardian Council, denounced the US-produced film on the Prophet Mohammad, saying it will "backfire" and claiming that the course of history is running in favour of Islam.
0835 GMT: Nuclear Watch. The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Yukiya Amano, has followed up Thursday's IAEA resolution expressing "serious concern" about Iran's nuclear programme --- "I hope that Iran clearly understands the message and engages with us on substance....For Iran, cooperating with the IAEA should be in their interest."
Of the 35 nations on the IAEA Board, 31 --- including Russia, China, and the other 5+1 Powers negotiating with the Islamic Republic --- supported the resolution.
Iranian media have differing reactions. Khabar Online has claimed that the IAEA could not reach agreement and issued a weak resolution. However, the conservative site Baztab has a pointed jab at the Government: it notes that nine countries who were present at last month's Non-Aligned summit in Tehran were among those who voted Yes.
0825 GMT: Foreign Affairs Watch (Egyptian Front). Earlier this week, the Egyptian Minister of Oil denied claims a day earlier by his Iranian counterpart, Rustam Qassemi, that Cairo was in negotiations for Iranian oil exports.
Tabnak tries to cover up the embarrassment by blaming disarray in the Egyptian Government:
The government authorities of Egypt are still unable to stabilize the new positions of the established government. For this reason it rejects any negotiations with an independent government, which [is a policy] some Western and Arab countries do not support. Because, it seems any future negotiations with Egypt will take place on this premise, the government has still not settled and many changes will influence their decisions.
0625 GMT: Staging a Protest Watch. The Supreme Leader's statement on Thursday, now posted in English:
The wicked enemies of Islam have once again revealed their deep malice by insulting the Holy Prophet (God's greetings be upon him and his household) and in an idiotic and disgusting move, they showed that evil Zionist groups are furious at the increasing brilliance of Islam and the Holy Quran in the world today. The fact that they have made the holiest person in all of creation the target of their disgusting nonsense is enough to disgrace those who have committed this great crime and sin.
What lies behind this wicked move is the hostile policies of Zionism, America and other leaders of the arrogant powers, who are vainly trying to make young generations in the Islamic world lose respect for what is held sacred and to extinguish their religious sentiments. If they had refused to support the previous links in this evil chain --- namely, Salman Rushdie, the Danish cartoonist and Quran-burning American priests --- and if they had not ordered tens of anti-Islam films from the companies affiliated with Zionist capitalists, today this great and unforgivable sin would not have been committed.
The number one culprit in this crime is Zionism and the American government. If American politicians are sincere that they are not involved, they should duly punish the perpetrators and the financial backers of this hideous crime, who have filled the hearts of Muslim people with pain.
And our Muslim brothers and sisters throughout the world should know that these futile and desperate moves by the enemies against Islamic Awakening are a sign of the greatness and importance of this uprising and a sign of its increasing growth.
0600 GMT: After a Thursday filled with denunciations of the "US-Zionist" film denigrating the Prophet Mohammad --- but silence on the deaths from violence at demonstrations near American diplomatic missions --- the regime will try to get maximum propaganda advantage today.
The Council for Coordination of Islamic Publicity has called for a march after Friday Prayers to "vent...fury on the Zionist elements behind the blasphemous act and convey Prophet Mohammad's message of peace, friendship, and fraternity to the world." The Supreme Leader offered a preview on his website with a demand to the US Government: "If the American politicians are honest that they had no role, then they must punish those who committed this heinous crime and their financial backers in proportion to this great crime."
Press TV whips up the anger this morning with articles such as "Iran Senior Clerics Slam Anti-Islam Film" and "Sinister September: Zionist Anti-Islam Plot Simmering".

Slow the FDA's Process on "New Dietary Ingredients"
by John Weeks, Publisher/Editor of The Integrator Blog News and Reports
Five years ago, an alliance of the top five natural products industry organizations raised question about an action from the USA Food and Drug Administration (FDA). One of them, the Council for Responsible Nutrition said that the agency's proposed plan for regulating New Dietary Ingredients (NDIs) consists of a "variety of maneuvers" that forces manufacturers to meet standards "that Congress and the courts clearly did not intend to be applied to dietary supplements."
In August, the FDA "doubled-down" on their original guidance, which may "represent a misinterpretation of the intent of DSHEA and its congressional sponsors" according to Loren Israelsen, current President of United Natural Products Association and widely known as one of the original architects of DSHEA. His organization has estimated that the "economic cost to industry could be billions of dollars".
A campaign is mounting among health professionals and their organizations to respond to the FDA's open comment period – now ending October 11 – to at least make certain that the agency extends its comment period for 120 days.
At issue is something called "Dietary Supplements: New Dietary Ingredient Notifications and Related Issues: Guidance for Industry." The Docket Number is FDA-2011-D-0376. Understanding the complex guidance poses challenges for anyone not intimately involved with product manufacturing and sourcing processes. Natural products expert Michael D. Levin (pictured right) of Health Business Strategies – an individual with executive experience in pharmaceutical, medical devices and natural products firms – agrees that the language in multiple passages could foster what he believes are significant, detrimental changes.
One example that Levin shared is the following: if the guidance were adopted, he believes that any change in the way manufacturing is engaged could trigger new dietary ingredient (NDI) status. Because of the routine changes in manufacturing processes, this change "will essentially put most botanical extracts into NDI territory." If so, according to Levin, this would add substantially to regulatory burden and cost.
Levin's view was strongly supported by the top five natural products industry organizations, whose logos are visible to the left. Their 2011 statements noted at the top of this article read, in part: "Collectively the draft FDA Guidance can be viewed as a variety of maneuvers by the FDA to re-characterize as many dietary supplements as possible as [New Dietary Ingredients] and then propose a standard of proof for their safety that few manufacturers would be able to meet; one that Congress and the courts clearly did not intend to be applied to dietary supplements." The five organizations are the Council for Responsible Nutrition, American Herbal Products Association (AHPA), Consumer Healthcare Products Association (CHPA), the Natural Products Association (NPA), and the United Natural Products Alliance (UNPA).
Levin has worked with functional medicine and naturopathic medicine pioneer Joe Pizzorno, ND, editor-in-chief of Integrative Medicine: A Clinician's Journal, this writer, and others, to stir up engagement of integrative healthcare practitioners and their professional organizations on this issue. Step one in his mind is to slow the train. He urges practitioner to respond to the FDA by requesting a 120-day extension to allow a regulation of this importance to be thoroughly vetted. According to Levin, "medical doctors, pharmacists, naturopathic doctors and other healthcare practitioners should review this guidance and consider how it may impact their ability to prescribe safe nutritional interventions to help their patients." A draft letter of request for an extension is affixed below.
Comment: Charges like these against a proposal of the FDA have propelled many Paul Revere rides through the alternative and integrative medicine community. One reasonably wonders with blasts against the FDA if it is "wolf" that is being cried. Or at least the reasonable concern about howling from any industry when it comes to regulation: Are issues being blown out of proportion in order to protect an industry that perhaps should be paying more attention to quality?
I'd been tracking industry concerns with the FDA's NDI proposal from a distance prior to the e-mail from Levin. My best assessment: this is not "wolf" this time. Bottom line: what loss can there be to slowing the process and granting a 120-day extension to fully vet the guidance. The draft request provided by Levin is below.
Sample Letter Requesting a 120 Day Extension
Docket Number FDA-2011-D-0376 – Request for 120 Day Extension for Comment Period ("Dietary Supplements: New Dietary Ingredient Notifications and Related Issues: Guidance for Industry")
The revised draft guidance for New Dietary Ingredients (NDIs)
Division of Dockets Management (HFA-305)
Food and Drug Administration
5630 Fishers Lane, Room 1061
Rockville, MD 20852
(Electronic Submission via www.regulations.gov)
Re: Docket Number FDA-2011-D-0376 – Request for 120 Day Extension for Comment Period ("Dietary Supplements: New Dietary Ingredient Notifications and Related Issues: Guidance for Industry")
This is to respectfully request a 120 Day extension for comment period on this draft guidance.
As written, the guidance raises very serious questions about the future availability of safe dietary supplements recommended by healthcare practitioners to help patients maintain and improve their health.
Physicians, doctors and pharmacists use nutrient repletion and targeted nutritional interventions to improve the health status of the patients we serve. In so doing, our patients can live healthier lives. Evidence also exists that these nutritional interventions may reduce healthcare costs, safely.
Since this guidance is highly technical and appears to have a high likelihood of impacting the practice of nutritional medicine, we simply need more time to study, understand and consider how this guidance might impact our ability to help the patients we serve. The issues of manufacturing changes, ODIs vs NDIs, the position on synthetic botanicals, the cost of redundancy of NDINs and how that might impact innovation, product availability, consumer prices and ingredient availability are some of the issues that need careful exploration. Products on formularies will need to be reviewed to determine how this guidance, if adopted, would impact their availability.
Please extend the comment period by (at least) 120 days (to February 11, 2017) so that we may evaluate the impact this important guidance may have on public health and safety, in general, and the patients we serve, in particular.
Thank you.

Former champion Miguel Cotto (37-3, 30KOs) is not concerned with the warnings coming from WBA "regular" junior middleweight champion Austin Trout, who says "Cotto's time is now over." Cotto will challenge Trout for his championship on December 1st at Madison Square Garden in New York City. It will be Cotto's first appearance in the ring since the May decision loss to Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Cotto, currently training with Cuban coach Pedro Diaz in Big Bear, predicts that his experience, and his skill level, will be the difference in December.
"[My trainer Pedro Diaz] is set apart [from the rest] because he is always ready when we start full training camp. There's no time for improvisation, no time to failure...[no time] for errors. Pedro is a student of boxing, and he showed [his level] with these two [prior camps] against Margarito and Mayweather," said Cotto to Paul Maldonado.
"We are not worried at all [about what Trout says]. If what he said is true, why is he not one of the best fighters in the world? I'm here because I know what I am capable of doing. I know what I'm going to do on the first of December and whatever Austin says I do not care about."

Your persistent classes can implement the javax.jdo.InstanceCallbacks interface to receive callbacks when certain JDO lifecycle events take place. This interface consists of four methods:
The jdoPostLoad method is called by the JDO implementation after the default fetch group fields of your class have been loaded from the data store. Default fetch groups are explained in the section on JDO metadata; for now think of the default fetch group as all of the primitive fields of the object. No other persistent fields can be accessed in this method.
jdoPostLoad is often used to initialize non-persistent fields whose values depend on the values of persistent fields. An example of this is presented below.
jdoPreStore is called just before the persistent values in your object are flushed to the data store. You can access all persistent fields in this method.
jdoPreStore is the complement to jdoPostLoad. While jdoPostLoad is most often used to initialize non-persistent values from persistent data, jdoPreStore is usually used to set persistent fields with information cached in non-persistent ones. See the example below.
The jdoPreClear method is called before the persistent fields of your object are cleared. JDO implementations clear the persistent state of objects for several reasons, most of which will be covered later in this document. jdoPreClear can be used to clear non-persistent cached data and null relations to other objects. You should not access the values of persistent fields in this method.
jdoPreDelete is called before an object is deleted from the data store. Access to persistent fields is valid within this method. You might implement privately-owned relations by using this method to delete other related objects.
Unlike the PersistenceCapable interface, you must implement the InstanceCallbacks interface explicitly if you want to receive lifecycle callbacks.
Example 4.3. Using the InstanceCallbacks Interface
/** * Example demonstrating the use of the InstanceCallbacks interface to * persist a java.net.InetAddress and implement a privately-owned relation. */ public class Host implements InstanceCallbacks { // the InetAddress field cannot be persisted directly by JDO, so we // use the jdoPostLoad and jdoPreStore methods below to persist it // indirectly through its host name string private transient InetAddress address; // non-persistent private String hostName; // persistent // set of devices attached to this host private Set devices = new HashSet (); // setters, getters, and business logic omitted public void jdoPostLoad () { // form the InetAddress using the persistent host name try { address = InetAddress.getByName (hostName); } catch (IOException ioe) { throw new JDOException ("Invalid host name: " + hostName, ioe); } } public void jdoPreStore () { // store the host name information based on the InetAddress values hostName = address.getHostName (); } public void jdoPreDelete () { // delete all related devices when this host is deleted JDOHelper.getPersistenceManager (this).deletePersistentAll (devices); } public void jdoPreClear () { } }

Social Media 101: Content Marketing
Most social media campaigns begin with a bang – you're excited, have a lot of passion and are regularly posting, tweeting and engaging your audience. If social media marketing isn't your full-time role, other priorities begin to take priority once this initial excitement dissipates.
Like your demand generation programs, the success of your social media marketing also depends on providing the right content to your audience at the right time during the sales cycle. Here are four quick ideas to keep your social media channels seeded with rich content:
Repurpose your content: Many companies have a huge reservoir of content ranging from product sheets to webinars, white papers and more. This content can be repurposed for your social media marketing efforts with minimal time and effort.
Editorial Calendar: Jumping into social media provides you the opportunity to publish content on your own timetable. To ensure that you stick to a schedule, map out an editorial calendar for the quarter looking at specific topics, guest authors, etc. to ensure that you have a rich funnel of content.
Interview Industry Experts: To vary the content and further position your company as an industry thought leader, interview industry experts and seed the interviews across your channels. You can do a quick video interview for YouTube, an email Q&A for your blog, or include profile in your email newsletter.
Invite Guest Bloggers: Creating all of this content is time consuming. Invite industry bloggers or peers to contribute a post to your blog. Make sure to set up some basic guidelines to ensure content is relevant to your audience. This alleviates your time constraints while provides content for your blog.
How do you keep your marketing and social media channels fresh with content?

It's hard to tell who's more excited about Kin Shriner's February 19 return to General Hospital — him or us!

The Cats of Roosevelt Island
People who are passionate about cats will no doubt be love a visit to the Cat Sanctuary which was established on Roosevelt Island. The island had been a traditional dumping ground for unwanted cats long before the establishment of this refuge for refugee cats, but it is now an offical safe haven for the numerous cats whose owners will not or cannot take care of them anymore.
For as long as people in these parts can remember the presence of cats on the island was tolerated, and sometimes even encouraged, as good Samaritans left food and water for the numerous strays and homeless cats that called Roosevelt Island their home. When a cat named Yin Lang died in 2004, his demise inspired a group to form, called Island Cats. Eleven years ago, in 2005, the group decided it was time to do something to help the cats there, protect them and even find homes for them.
Island Cats began by to trapping and neutering the strays, and they created an adoption program for them. On the southern tip of the island the group operates a small shelter.
The cats have the distinction of being the only creatures allowed into the ruins of the Renwick Smallpox Hospital. One day however the hospital may be re-opened, but not until its structure is reinforced.
A good place to observe the cats of Roosevelt Island is near the ruined Renwick Hospital.

22 Biggest Sports Controversies of 2013
Aaron Hernandez, Manti Te'o and more of the year's most troubling sports stories
9. NASCAR Cheating Scandal
In the final NASCAR race of the 2013 season, with several drivers vying for a spot in the Chase for the Sprint Cup playoffs, two fishy incidents took place. In one, Clint Bowyer seemingly went into an intentional spin, resulting in a caution flag that would bump Ryan Newman out of the lead, allowing Bowyer's teammate Martin Truex Jr. to get enough points to secure a spot in the 12-driver Chase. Then it was also revealed that two teams colluded to have David Gilliland slow down near the end of the race so that Joey Logano could gain the necessary points to get him into the Chase and bump out Jeff Gordon. NASCAR penalized Boywer and Truex's team, Michael Waltrip Racing, eliminating Truex from the Chase in favor of Newman. In Gordon's case, the Chase field was expanded to 13 cars so that he could participate.

Once again, the Occupods show that fine leftist/socialist/communist tradition of reserving free speech for themselves. Also, they seem to have picked up on what the Union thugs did, attack people with cameras before they document what is really going on.

Foreign Direct Investment in Life Sciences Shifting to High Growth Locations Worldwide, Jones Lang LaSalle Study Reveals
Published: Feb 21, 2012
Top 10 Markets for Life Sciences Different Before, After the Downturn
In this global study, Jones Lang LaSalle looked at investment in life sciences facilities throughout the world before and after the global economic downturn. Specifically, the study looks at the top 10 markets for drug and pharmaceutical inward direct investment by country between 2003 to 2010. To establish investment patterns before and after the downturn, the study ranked top markets for such investment during the time period of 2003–2006, then during 2007–2010, and compares the two.
The analysis revealed key findings regarding locations that are primed to lead industry activity based on where companies are directing their resources and on the $607 billion of total investments for the period.
"Some countries have emerged during the last decade as major recipients of foreign direct investment in pharmaceuticals, while in others, the industry talks of rationalization or consolidations," said Bill Barrett, managing director of Jones Lang LaSalle's life sciences business. "For investors, it's important to understand trends that affect facility planning, especially the need to realign the enterprise operating footprint with the new realities of how revenue will be generated and how profit margins can be preserved."
Jones Lang LaSalle Managing Director Matt Jackson added that several important shifts occurred as the industry made new choices in the 2007-2010 time period:
• Asia emerged as a location not just for manufacturing, but also as a growth market with double-digit revenue growth potential. As a result, China, Singapore and India emerged as the #2, #3 and #4 markets for foreign direct investment in life sciences. (Only the United States outperformed these markets.)
• Brazil, Canada and Switzerland emerged as new Top 10 markets in life sciences; before 2007, they were unranked. Government support coupled with educated workforce has been noted as fuelling life sciences clusters in those countries.
• Ireland and Singapore were noted as favourable locations from a tax perspective, and attracted some investment that might otherwise have gone to Puerto Rico or other jurisdictions with expiring incentives.
• Outsourcing of support functions such as finance, tax, HR, IR, procurement and customer service led to expansion in Asia, particularly in India and China.
Hear more insights from Matt Jackson in his video blog entry on foreign investment drivers.
Location Preferences Strategically Aligned with Growth, Not Just Cost-Driven
While cost control was a top driver of location selection, it was one of multiple factors, not a singular driver of changes in investment location preferences. Pharmaceutical companies looked to shift their location strategies to support the following business drivers:
• Revenue growth potential. Particularly in Asia, double-digit revenue growth potential in certain markets has made them attractive for locating sales offices, as well as manufacturing and R&D.
• Favorable tax structures. In jurisdictions such as Singapore and Ireland, government-backed tax incentive programs have created opportunities for pharmaceutical and other life sciences companies.
• Asset efficiency. The global economic downturn led to decreased demand for certain products, which led to overcapacity in many manufacturing locations. Locations that remained open tend to offer flexibility in production, and are conveniently located with other components of the supply chain (warehouses, airports, and so on). R&D locations have also been consolidated for operational efficiency, and to take advantage of workforce expertise in certain cluster locations.
• Cost control and operating margin advantages. Cost reduction and operating efficiency continue to drive investment decisions; however, choices to locate operations tend to consider cost control and operating margin together with other factors.

One of the many joys this time of year is seeing the blooms of Christmas cacti. So how do we keep these beautiful plants, from deep in the jungles of South America, growing and blooming year after year in Kansas?
Our common household temperatures are fine, and the plants prefer indirect sunlight. Too much sun can result in yellow leaves. The soil should be kept constantly moist, but not waterlogged. Give cacti a light fertilization every other week and they will normally bloom until late winter or early spring.
You can place the plants outside in the summer, but be sure they are not in the hot Kansas sun. They need to be in a sheltered place, away from direct sunlight and drying winds and you must be sure to keep the plants moist.
Fall is the time to ready the plants for blooming again at Christmas. These cacti need eight weeks of special care to prepare for bloom. During this time you should not fertilize, you should decrease watering and you must shield the plants from indoor night lighting.
Christmas cacti need eight to 12 hours of complete darkness, for a minimum of 25 consecutive nights, to allow them to reset their blooms in time for Christmas. This is best accomplished by moving the plants to a closet or room which is not used in the evening hours or by covering the plants with a cardboard box each night.
Since a home's indoor lighting will affect the plant's ability to recreate its blooms, it is important to ensure that the plant is in complete darkness during night hours.
During the days, move the plants to bright, indirect sunlight, and in a few weeks you should begin to see buds forming. After the plant sets buds, don't disturb or move it or the buds may fall off. Your Christmas cacti will be ready to bring their beautiful blooms back to your home for another joyous season.

I'm going to buy a logitech z5500 digital speakers system and I need to know if I will be able to make it work.
Thank you!

Legal expert Akuffo fears FIFA ban on Ghana over government commission
One of Ghana's leading legal brains Kwame Akuffo has warned the government that FIFA could ban the country from international football following the decision to set to up a Commission of Enquiry to investigate the Black Stars failure at the 2014 World Cup.
The government set up a three-man committee last week to investigate why the national team failed to excel at the World Cup but just two days ago upgraded it to a commission which has powers of a high court.
Lawyer Akuffo also added that the decision to could lead to lead to a huge embarrassment for Ghana's President John Dramani Mahama who could also to be hauled before the investigative body.
This compounds the problems of government over the commission, which has the powers of a court, thus flouting FIFA regulation on governmental meddling in football which recently led to the banning of Nigeria.
Rubbishing the institution of the CoE, he said: "I believe that the Commission of Enquiry is completely misplaced. It's been put there just to respond to emotions and the pain of a hurting nation,†he stated.
Adding that, "We are expending public resources in the wrong direction, and we will not receive anything.â€
He mentioned there would be a collateral attack on the immunity of the GFA where the Commission constitutes judgment because it has the same powers as the High Court and, therefore, summoning them before it would mean the officials are on trial.
"That will amount to a collateral attack on the immunity of the GFA officials and clear contradiction of FIFA's statute,†he said.
He explained that if the government gave monies to the GFA expecting a repayment when FIFA pays after participation, then that is a loan, and advised that; "If government wants its monies, it should send a demand notice.â€
Thus, "I don't see how a creditor can then begin to question the conduct of the Board of Directors of a Company because it has lent them money.â€
"We cannot expend public resources to ask why the Black Stars did not play well; we cannot expend resources to find out why the Black Stars management team performed poorly.â€
There is a growing perception that the government has the authority to investigate the GFA in respect of financial affairs.
But this perception, Lawyer Akufo noted, was motivated by the government's advance of "our taxes to the GFA to run the Black Stars.â€
"Mr. Elvis Afriyie Ankrah and others were responsible for these matters. It's a political issue that must be addressed by their political superiors. We cannot put things behind,†he noted.
Maintaining that the political superiors could investigate this matter without the need for a Commission of Enquiry.
He further noted that because the people acted on behalf of the president, it would be difficult to justify the means.
Especially, when they appear before the Commission and make ambiguous statements. And because the statements may not be substantiated, would the Commission then be in the position to say "We don't have the key actors?†he asked.
Lawyer Kwame Akufo before joining the conversation asked on his Facebook wall that "Funds released to GFA for the World Cup, loan or gift?â€
His warning comes just days after banned Nigeria after the government hauled members of the Nigeria Football Federation before the law courts.

maubs says:July 13, 2014 11:01 pmwell said ogya, texas and all. If Fifa wants to distance itself from all the accussations that it will be continuing to face after the world cup let it continue standing on the side of corrupted african football officials. We are gathering signatures-abeng.com and voicesofdametropolis. blog-watch this space; and in time FIFA will recieve these representations as well as some of the media outlets who have pursuing FIFA over the Qatar World Cup and other issues. so yes if the good of ghana is at stake then FIFA has a lot on its plate at the moment and am sure they will want to be seen as doing the right thing.
Gyeabour dormaa says:July 13, 2014 10:07 pmWho is this Akufo n what does he wnt,he shld shout the **** up and who cares if FIFA shld ban Gh.ghanaians are tired of the son of greedy bastard bitches @ fa. The good for notin Gfa members are talkin Ghanaians for granted. FIFA is wastin tym to ban Gh.
OGYA says:July 13, 2014 07:27 pmJust shut the hell up you moron Akuffo. What are you afraid at? We Ghanaians do not care about what Fifa thinks right now. All we want is Nyantakyi gone from the GFA. Fifa can go to hell. Nyantakyi needs to go with his Akwesi Appiah.
OGYA says:July 13, 2014 07:27 pmJust shut the hell up you moron Akuffo. What are you afraid at? We Ghanaians do not care about what Fifa thinks right now. All we want is Nyantakyi gone from the GFA. Fifa can go to hell. Nyantakyi needs to go with his Akwesi Appiah.
texas says:July 13, 2014 07:17 pmWe don't care about FIFA ban because FIFA itself is corrupt. We cannot allow the fear of FIFA destroy the only unifying sport left in Ghana and other parts of the world. We need to clean up the mess caused by the GFA, it's associates and the useless executive management committee. FIFA will not clean the mess and harm caused by GFA and the executive management committee. The GFA answers to the people of Ghana and the government represents the people of Ghana. We are doing what we got to do to keep supporting our football which is under life support.
papa says:July 13, 2014 06:46 pmthats exactly what we want.why cant these idiots see we really want them out of the gfa and all sports sectors.let fifa ban us so we can reshuffle the fa .the players too divided and the coach is at fault.plus he cant read games and make better selections anyway.
Tetteyfio says:July 14, 2014 01:43 amIf FIFA is not happy with this probe, FIFA will warn Ghana to back-off. If Ghana refuses to back-off then they will be banned. FIFA does not just ban countries like that
Shine says:July 14, 2014 07:17 amAll GFA members must cleans up. Ghana will never do well in football if Nyantekyi and kwesi Appiah stay in post. Our national team the Black stars has already divided into many parts. Essien,Muntari,Dede,Jordan, Kojo Asamoah,Boateng, kwarasey, are now Black stars anti corruption fighters in Ghana football. Because of these players are fighting anti-corruption in Ghana football,Nyantekyi the World most idiot and shameles man including Ghana first fool kwesi Appiah kept on sacking these lads from the team. When i heard someone says Sulley Muntari slapped Mose Parker it pains me to the extend that i should take a gun and hunt them down those vampires. what happened before Muntari slapped idiot Moses Parker? Mose Parker thought he got money and team in Ghana so he can talk to players by harsh words. Mose Parker let me ask you this simple questions what were you doing with a lady you took to Brazil? could you please swear to Ghanaians about that lady? who was she? the answer is ashawo prostitute.And why stupid Moses Parker ask Muntari who is he? that muntari think he got money he can ask anything. Mose Parker you were very very very lucky to still stay alive you deserve to die. You put Ghana into ashambolic path we would never forget as long we live. But we shall organise a huge demonstrations sooner fifa should ban Ghana thats what we wanted now and then. John Mahama send them to court if you failes we wont vote for you. Ghana must be ban.
Nyame Nti says:July 14, 2014 08:08 amThanks to u Mr Akufo u are right Bra John nkonfem pad maham should be out of the FA isues bcus u no nothing u brought Ankra mr of all trade and his depute from bokankye a hunter who knows nothing about foot ball even admistration the one called Joseph Yamine.

This is Californication we're talking about here. Do you think his successor will be any better?
grapes of wrath alert.
I'm a live-and-let-live type, but this is just FLAT OUT GROSS!!!!!!!
I think that Arnold Schwarzenegger just lost all credibility.
I conclude:
1) They are too stupid to know that this hurts children.
2) They do know it but are greedy for their paycheck and benefits.
3) They are evil.
...and the girly man made this possible.
It's way past time for Arnold to go.I liked some of his movies,but as a governor he's not even B grade material.
This is not a Governor problem, it is a people problem. The Governor must not be very concerned about blowback from the people.
The people of California need to grow a set and start demanding this BS stops.
If they did, it will stop
Both our daughter and our daughter-in-law are full time moms and they both home school their children.
God forbid that our little children have to go through these sick schools. I for one will never vote for Schwarzenegger again. All of this sin will be on his head.
It's time for decent humans to vacate Kaleefornia as quickly as possible.
Run, don't walk.
AH yes. Kalifornia. The land of fruits, nuts, comedians and other funny people.
They are striving for younger and younger. Their goal is to have people of all ages sexually active regardless of gender minus morality. It's terrible. Homosexuality can be taught in teen sex ed, but it should be taught as an unnatural, unhealthy, and immoral lifestyle choice. Homosexuals should be treated with respect and compassion, but the way to do that is not to endorse such a lifestyle.

PixelJunk Eden E3 2008: Bounce Up Gameplay Video - PS2
PixelJunk Eden - E3 2008: Bounce Up Gameplay Video
What is PixelJunk Eden? Well, basically, it's kinda like your own virtual garden you must tend to, but it actually requires a lot in the way of timing and reflexes. In order to create a gorgeous, shining plethora of attractive flora, you'll have to sow the seeds and cultivate ceaselessly until the world is a prettier place. It's a puzzle game, yes, but this next installment in the popular PixelJunk downloadable games should be worth playing, just because it's unique. We don't get a ton of originality from most genres these days, even if we do call this the "new" generation, and it's often a good idea to try something fresh. And it doesn't get much fresher than PixelJunk Eden.

MMA Fighter Dan Hardy and Hardcore Band Blood For Blood Team Up
Hardcore label Deathwish has always gone against the grain. The imprint continues that tradition with its new hoodie and t-shirt designs, which combine the worlds of MMA [Mixed Martial Arts] and hardcore punk.
Deathwish leader, Converge frontman, and visual artist Jacob Bannon has created a hybrid design for British welterweight fighter Dan 'The Outlaw' Hardy and Boston hardcore sourpusses Blood For Blood. The 'Bonded By Pain' graphic fuses the iconic visual elements of Blood For Blood and Dan 'The Outlaw' Hardy into one simple but wearable design that's suitable for MMA fans as well as hardcore kids.
"I've been a fan of Blood For Blood for many years," Bannon told Noisecreep about why he chose to work with the band. "In the mid '90s, when Sheer Terror slowed down, there was a hole on the world of gruff, no-frills hardcore, and Blood For Blood filled that void and then some. The band oozes the underdog mentality that defines our city and it's hardcore community. Dan Hardy as a fighter also carries many of those same traits, and he is an avid fan of punk and hardcore."
"[Hardy] even has two Blood For Blood tattoos," Bannon revealed. "Bringing the two together through Deathwish seemed like a natural thing to do."

Piers Morgan and Brett Lee: World Cricket's Clowns of the Month, December 2013January 1, 2014
The final World Cricket's Clown of the Month award for 2013 is a special double award.
It looked like the Jackass crew were in Melbourne when the outspoken British TV presenter, Piers Morgan, faced a no holds barred over of pace bowling from Brett Lee during a tea-break of the fourth Ashes Test. With predictable results.
It's hard to have sympathy for Morgan (who, to be fair, doesn't ask for any) whose constant sensationalist opinions, tweeting and celebrity name-dropping rub many people up the wrong way.
One of who was seemingly Aussie speedster Lee, who sent down five brutal short balls that would've had the world's elite batsmen trembling, never mind a non-cricketer.
Four deliveries struck the ex-newspaper editor on the body, while the one pitched-up delivery struck the stumps.
Watched on by a crowd baying for blood, the stunt, which materialised when Morgan questioned the England batsmen, became a YouTube sensation but was condemned by members of the media including, as reported on Foxsports, former New Zealand great Richard Hadlee.
And the final, sorry twist in the tale was Morgan confirming that one of his ribs had been fractured in the assault.
So for being the main participants in the odd spectacle, Piers Morgan and Brett Lee are our World Cricket's Clowns of the Month.
Perhaps if England had managed to push Australia a little closer, this distraction may never have occurred.

It doesn't get much more urban than Central Avenue, and this week, UAlbany students will turn the street into a learning laboratory for urban planning and design.
The students will take Central Avenue's emerging Cultural District as their topic for the upcoming Spring Site Planning Studio, trying to build a cohesive identity for a section of Central Avenue that includes international restaurants, bars, and the Linda-WAMC's Performing Arts Studio.
"The trick is to mix and blend, without creating a hodgepodge or erratic unsustainable plan," says Anthony Capece, Executive Director for the Central Avenue Business Improvement District.
The students will conduct numerous site visits to the district, looking for ways to create visual cues in storefronts and signage, says S. Thyagarajan, Director of Urban & Regional Planning for Energy Answers International and course professor. The work will culminate in a series of white papers on making Central Avenue more visually enticing for business owners and visitors, and these papers could serve as a blueprint for future development plans.
The course's focus on Central Avenue came out of a previous project for Townsend Park, when Thyagarajan asked students to link the park into the surrounding community using light; when their work was presented to Capece, he was floored.
Lit benches, LED pavers, twinkling trees and timed lights transformed the off-putting park into an attractive city center. When Thyagarajan began to look for another project for his spring semester, Capece suggested upper Central.
The district's been working for a long time at turning the diverse (and divergent) concerns into a destination for international food and out-of-the-way entertainment options. Students will offer "fresh eyes" to an old challenge, says Capece.

"What if all the bad things that media critics have been said about passivity for the past century or two are now equally applicable to all the demands to interact, to participate? What if interactivity is now one of the central hinges through which power works? In many moments today, the most compliant gesture we can make is to consent to interact on the terms presented to us by our software and machines. This pull is especially strong in those commercial platforms that celebrate their own difference from the so-called passive media of previous decades, and in the process monetize their users' participation either directly or indirectly."

Good morning, Revolutionnaires! I have been behind in keeping you up to date on French in a Flash, so I want to tell you about the last two week's recipes on Serious Eats.
Tarragon Chicken is this unfortunate dish that we tried to throw together at the Cordon Bleu. I say tried, because it was the one dish that I don't think one of us finished. It sounds so simple: chicken stewed in a summer-sweet broth of tomatoes and tarragon. And yet, all I remember was being in the kitchen at 9:30 at night deboning both the chicken's thigh and my own thumb. As they say in France, "catastrophe!"
It was a shame, too, because it seemed like such a good idea–so rustic, and filling, but at the same time a bit exotic. We are so used to having our tomatoes with basil, but in France, tomatoes are all about tarragon, and there is that kind of fresh anise sweetness that counters the tomatoes so well. It seemed to me like the perfect summer stew, hearty and steaming, but still fresh as a daisy. So, I decided to never look at my Cordon Bleu recipe for the dish again, and make it my own way. I made it for my aunt and uncle, and along with a devoured mountain of baguette, it was a hit.
Click here for the Tarragon Chicken recipe.
Last week's French in a Flash caused a bit of controversy. September always gets me thinking about back to school, especially since I myself am going back to school. And for me, back to school is all about breakfast and snacks, the two meals I never bother with in the summertime. I wanted these muffins to truly be "in a flash," so they start with boxed cinnamon muffin mix, which is then doctored up with golden raisins, grated carrot, and chopped walnuts. The icing is made from powdered sugar, cream cheese, and, the piece de resistance, goat cheese. It's like licking a finger scraped down the side of a red velvet cake–that cream cheese tang in the sweet frosting–but multiplied and deepened. I think these are a great way to make something which I still consider homemade in just minutes, but I understand some of my readers were fairly disappointed at my use of a boxed mix. I would be happy to hear your opinions, Revolutionnaires! Click here for the Carrot Muffins with Sweet Chevre Icing recipe.
Again, my apologies at having been so remiss. Tons of travel and a new computer have stymied my best intentions.
- 8 vine ripened tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and finely diced
- 8 chicken legs
- 8 chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus 1 tablespoon
- 4 shallots, roughly chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, smashed
- 1/3 cup dry vermouth
- 1/3 cup dry white wine
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken stock
- 6 stems tarragon
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper. In a braising pan, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken, in batches as necessary, until golden-brown all over. Set the chicken aside, and discard the oil.
- Add another tablespoon of olive oil to the pan over medium-low heat. Add the shallots and garlic, and sweat just a minute. Add the vermouth and the wine, and simmer to reduce and burn off the alcohol. Add the tomatoes and chicken stock and half the tarragon. Add the chicken back into the pan, and bring the liquid to a boil.
- Cover and simmer for 1 hour, until the meat is falling off the bone. Boil uncovered for a few minutes at the end if you want to evaporate off some of the liquid (I like it saucy). Scatter the leaves from the remaining 3 stems of fresh tarragon over the chicken, and serve piping hot.

Maybe it is time to stop dancing around this idea:
I know the first time I was on a cruise ship it struck me how easily someone could disappear if they fell over. It is like looking over a very steep crevice where you cannot see the bottom due to overgrowth, etc. The thought just occurs to you because we are all wired to understand things like that on a very basic brain level.
Inevitably, the sight of fast moving water below a cruise ship is just going to stimulate certain thoughts in certain people pre-disposed to those kinds of thoughts - specifically suicidal.
The truth is, if I knew someone who had recently tried suicide and was still in a fragile state, I would not recommend they go on a cruise. It is a little like recommending they walk across the Golden Gate bridge.
People do commit suicide during cruises. Statistically I do not know if it is any more per 100,000 than is statictically normal, but I wouldn't be surprised - because of that thought we all get when we look over the side of a cruise ship.
Now, to a normal person that would never be a reason not to cruise. That would be like saying one shouldn't go to the Grand Canyon to see its beauty because people commit suicide there.
No HERE IS SOMETHING IRONIC. Before I wrote that I googled "Grand Canyon Suicides" just to see how common it is and 33 people committed suicide in U.S. National parks in 2008 alone.
They call it "Death by Canyon" and that makes it 5-times more prevalent than suicide by cruise ship.
Interesting, no?
And DavidB, it isn't politically correct to mock people who are suicidal. It is a mental condition related to depression, not a malicious intent.

Facebook, Google Are Strangling Our Internet

Ask Jack Dorsey, the co-founder of the social network Twitter and the mobile-payment start-up Square, what his two companies have in common, and he has a quick answer: "They're both utilities." Mark Zuckerberg might agree: he spent years trying to convince people that Facebook is not a social network but a "social utility." It's an intriguing choice of words for such of-the-moment entrepreneurs. Utilities tend to be boring, slow-growing beasts. They also—and this is the more important point—tend to be monopolies that are either regulated heavily by governments or owned outright by them.

Saw a friend at the mallPosted on 2014 under Musical Instrument | Comments are off
23 Feb
The friend and I planned to watch a movie at the cinema together. The movie is romantic comedy. I arrived at the mall 30 minutes early. So I decided to stroll around while waiting for her. I am heading to the jeans section when someone called my attention. It was my brother's friend who happens to work at the mall. He also becomes a friend of mine. He is assigned at the music instruments department. Instead of going to the jeans section, I went to his area and satisfying my eyes looking for different kinds of instruments and gadgets like the ev zxa1 while talking to him. I enjoyed 30 minutes waiting for my friend looking at the instruments and gadgets. At the same time listening to music they played and looking at some of the customers testing the instruments. Anyways, it was good to see a friend after a long time.
