AIKEN -- Sue Townsend won't be surprised if the state constructs an accident reconstruction substation in Aiken County sometime soon.
"When we have crashes, we tend to have multiple deaths," the Aiken County coroner said.
Statistics released Thursday by the American Automobile Association support her observation. Aiken County jumped from the state's second-least dangerous counties for drivers in 1997 to the 16th-most dangerous in 1998.
A total of 50 driving-related fatalities last year ranked Aiken third in the state. In addition, Aiken led the state with 11 tractor-trailer deaths. And so far this year, Aiken County has had 26 traffic-related deaths, which puts it on pace to match last year's record-breaking total.
"Those are statistics I'm not very proud of, nor should anybody be," Mrs. Townsend said.
In 1997, Aiken County only had 23 traffic-related fatalities.
Statistics in the report show that more than 4 million miles were covered by drivers in Aiken County in 1998. A total of 3,052 accidents were reported, resulting in 1,595 injuries. Statewide, traffic deaths increased 10.9 percent and the state's deaths per one hundred million miles traveled rose 4.5 percent, making South Carolina one of the most dangerous states in the nation.
The number of deaths increased by 98 -- from 903 to 1,001 across the state -- but injuries and collisions both declined from 1997 totals.
The most dangerous of South Carolina's 46 counties were Charleston, Greenville, Horry, Florence and Lancaster. The safest were Lexington, Colleton, Newberry, Jasper and Orangeburg.
The rankings were based on a formula that included vehicle miles traveled, collisions, injuries and deaths for each county.
Drivers must continue to practice defensive driving, wear their seat belts and not drink and drive, the coroner said.
"Everyone needs to wake up and pay attention," she said. "Or my deputies and I shall never go to bed."
Aiken County has already had two accidents that resulted in three or more fatalities this year.
On June 27, an elderly Florida woman crossed the median of Interstate 20 and slammed head-on into a vehicle carrying three construction workers from Jonesboro, Ga. The three men, the Florida woman and her husband were all killed.
And in January, police say teen-ager Shayna Lively was intoxicated when she drove the wrong way down I-20 and killed a man and his two small daughters.
Hoping to reduce the chances of more accidents like those, State Department of Public Safety Director Boykin Rose said special traffic safety enforcement is planned to begin in mid-August and last 90 days.
The units will pay special attention to Interstates 77, 20 and 26 where speed limits were increased to 70 mph earlier this year.
"I would like to believe we are a smart community that can learn from mistakes," Mrs. Townsend said. "We must learn to drive defensively, because we can have stupid people coming from out-of-state."

MC softball capsule for game on April 13
Published 8:17 pm, Thursday, April 12, 2012
When/where: Doubleheaders beginning at 1 p.m. today and noon Saturday at Midland College softball field
Records: Midland College 32-14, 5-7 in Western Junior College Athletic Conference; El Paso Community College 13-34, 3-13
Notes & quotes: The Lady Chaparrals look to bounce back from a tough two weeks in which they went 1-7 against rivals Howard College and Odessa College, including getting swept in four games by OC last weekend. MC coach Tommy Ramos said his team is just going to continue working on the little things and bringing more effort and energy to each game. ...Even though his team got swept last weekend, two of those losses came on OC's last at-bat and Ramos said he was encouraged by what he saw. "I think after last weekend's series, the girls are headed in the right direction," Ramos said. "They need to stay aggressive and make things happen. If we continue where we left off, we'll keep the momentum going and continue in the right direction. I think the girls are fine (mentally). They've done some really good things in practice and they're working on cutting down some of their mistakes." ...Ramos said his pitchers have also been working hard on understanding pitch counts and situations. "I think you'll see Yolanda (Rios), Holly (Herrintgton) and Kristine (Vargas) all pitch better this weekend as they have a better understanding of what's expected of them," Ramos said. ... Ramos said his team is healthier. OF Kayla Parra and C Meghan Macias look to be back and will play this weekend, while 2B Sam Kuakini (thigh bruise) is about 80 percent, according to Ramos.

Stempniak to Help Leafs Beat Thrashers on the Way to the CupNovember 24, 2008
Steen had his chances. Frankly, I had seen enough as well. So, along with Carlo, the two are now eagerly heading to St Louis today. The Leafs are beefing up by taking Buffalo-native Stempniak along for the ride to the Cup.
Recall the weak pre-season effort against the Blues—a 7-3 loss, due mainly to Cujo being between the pipes—when the six-footer scored twice to send our aging net-minder to the bench early. Somewhat of a harbinger if you ask me.
In fact I've been pondering lately whether or not Burke should simply bring up Pogge and trade Toskala, with respect to lessening our dependency on euros. Oh, did I say Burke, I meant Fletcher. Right.
The game on Saturday against the equally-youthful Hawks was a huge disappoint, especially on a night they honoured and were presumably inspired by one of the recent Leafs all-time faves.
As I'm sure you'll agree, it seems the team either falls behind 2-0 or lets the lead slide away lately. They need a little "killer" instinct.
Assuming his knee trouble is just a wee bruise, Stempniak will be a pretty good addition: a big right-winger with a decent shot, and a few (phew) on the power play.
I'm guessing given his recent slump, Antropov is on the block. Well, as if he's ever been off the block. The last time I checked, which wasn't today, it seems we now have quite a few Americans on the team...more than I can ever remember.
On Tuesday the Leafs play Atlanta. This is chance for the Leafs to bounce back and stun the Thrashers, who of course will try to snap their own winless streak.
Here's my prediction: the formation of the KGB line. Kulemin. Grabovsky. Blake. Well, unless White steals the show, which is fine with me.
Sooner than later, Moore and Mayers have to start getting some decent goals. Or maybe just a few flukes, like the time Domi was energized after one bounced off his butt and into the net.
I hear Van Ryn is near to returning. This is great news. I really like his style and fortitude, plus his shot from the blue line was a bonus early in the season.
Our boy Stajan better not get too comfortable—as all eyes are on him, from a management perspective, with his Leafs-leading stats these days. Hagman needs a goal, and so does Schenn, badly.
Kubina did incredibly well late last season, where has his shot gone? But while he takes a backseat, Kaberle steps up. If the Leafs could all start clicking in unison, the Cup could be coming home to roost. But I guess that's what all coaches and managers know.

DHPE Members We Need Your Help! August is a primetime for grassroots engagement. And here are the resources to take action:
Read more…
This January core federal programs and services face indiscriminate, across-the-board cuts of 8.4 percent through "sequestration." Such cuts will devastate medical and scientific research; education and job training; infrastructure; public safety and law enforcement; public health; weather monitoring and environmental protection; housing and social services; and international relations. Every day these programs support economic growth and strengthen the safety and security of every American in every state and community across the nation.
Without bipartisan action in Washington as many as 2 million jobs will be lost, and critical services will be eliminated. Members of Congress know what they need to do to stop prevent these cuts. They just haven't yet mustered the political will to work together and make tough decisions. It's time to let lawmakers know that balancing the budget takes a balanced approach—they can't and shouldn't do it by cutting essential jobs and services alone.
August is a primetime for grassroots engagement. So the NDD Summit Steering Committee has developed a new toolkit to help you help your grassroots make their voices heard, available onlne:
The toolkit includes:
We encourage you to freely customize—with your priorities, examples, and logo/brand—and share these tools with your grassroots.
Members of Congress have heard from the experts, and they've heard from the 3,000 organizations that signed our "NDD" letter. But it's not enough. They need to hear from the people that matter most—their constituents.
Thank you for your help in this effort, and be sure to SPREAD THE WORD by forwarding this message throughout your networks.

Motivation is something we all need in order to accomplish anything in life. The little child is motivated to walk and to talk by the desire to be like those around them. Athletes are motivated by championships or by contract negotiations. People in business are motivated by profit or by a goal of service excellence.
Not all motivation is good motivation. Have you ever been motivated while driving by the desire to beat someone to a stop sign or parking spot? Some are so motivated by money that they steal from their place of business; or so motivated by appearance that they developed an eating disorder; or so motivated by revenge that it poisons everything they do.
This morning we catch a glimpse of the motivation of the Apostle Paul. He begins 2 Corinthians 4 with the words, "Therefore seeing we have this kind of ministry" . . . his motivation for life is found in the fact that he has been called to share with others the message of God's mercy and grace. It is a ministry that presents to people the choice to follow Christ in repentance and to experience new life and forgiveness. Paul feels he has been called to one of the highest of jobs: declaring a message that changes lives!
Let's imagine Paul sitting on the platform. We have the chance to ask him a question, so we ask: Paul, What fuels your passion and what advice would you give to us so that we too might be passionate for the things of God. Based on this text I think these would be his answers.
Never Give Up (Be Determined)
Therefore, since God in his mercy has given us this new way, we never give up.
Let's be honest, there are many times it would be easier to walk away than keep going. There are times when we don't want to keep proclaiming the gospel because people resist the message of salvation that all people are lost and cannot save themselves. There are people who bristle and actually become hostile at the idea of submitting to the Word of God. It seems easiest to give up.
It is tempting to turn away in our relationships with each other. We forgive for awhile. We serve humbly for awhile. We give generously for awhile. We are even patient for awhile. For awhile we will attribute the best motives to someone and try to look at the positive. But let's be honest, it is much easier to do these things in the short term than it is to do it consistently. Too often we want to say, "It's not worth the hassle".
We work in spurts in our walk with Christ. We start off on a Bible reading program, we set aside time for prayer, we buy a book that we think will help us grow and before long it feels more like work than we thought it would. We may hang in there for awhile but soon we conclude that our time could be spent more productively doing other things. It is easy to give up.
Paul wants us to see that it IS worth the hassle, it is worth the hard word, it is better to hang in there! There is no more important calling in the world than to know and serve the Lord. Not only this, God's way really is the best way to live and to enjoy life to the fullest. When we give up we are like a woman who is 8 months pregnant who says "forget it". If she will endure the blessing will far outweigh (most days) the struggle.
Think about that parent, Sunday School teacher, Pastor, or friend who continued to tell you about Jesus and answered question after question even though you resisted and pushed them away again and again. Think about that friend that stayed by your side even though you kept trying to push them away. Think about the musician that worked for years in the shadows before anyone ever noticed their music. Think about that teacher or tutor that kept working with you until the light finally went on. Think about the parent who never stopped believing in you or loving you even though you were making horrible decisions in your life. Think about that saint that never stopped praying for you. Because these people did not give up, we were blessed.
God doesn't give up on us either. No one was more acutely aware of this than the Apostle Paul. He had spent his early days as a devoted student. He studied under the finest teachers. Yet, Paul rejected the message of the gospel. God continued to reach out to Paul. Since God did not give up on him, Paul was not about to give up on others. When it comes to serving the Lord and each other we have to hang in there.
Never Compromise the Gospel (Speak the Truth)
Paul continues,
2 We reject all shameful deeds and underhanded methods. We don't try to trick anyone or distort the word of God. We tell the truth before God, and all who are honest know this.
3 If the Good News we preach is hidden behind a veil, it is hidden only from people who are perishing. 4 Satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don't believe. They are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News. They don't understand this message about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God.
The stereotype of salesmen is that a good salesman will do whatever they "have to do" to make a sale. In other words, they will lie, they will make promises they cannot possibly keep, and they will spin things to make even bad things sound good.
I appreciate the way THE MESSAGE paraphrases this text,
We refuse to wear masks and play games. We don't maneuver and manipulate behind the scenes. And we don't twist God's Word to suit ourselves. Rather, we keep everything we do and say out in the open, the whole truth on display, so that those who want to can see and judge for themselves in the presence of God.
As someone has said, "The sun does not cease to be the sun simply because the blind cannot see it." In like manner the truth does not become less true because a person is blinded to that truth. The way of Christ is still the only way for us to be made right with God whether or not we embrace Him. When we compromise the truth in any way we are actually leading people astray and doing them more harm than good.
Paul reminds us that Satan wants to blind the minds of those who don't believe. He does this by encouraging us to water down the truth (so that people think they are following Christ when in reality they are following some hybrid faith). He will try to get us to focus on programs, personalities, and obstacles. He blinds others by drawing a caricature of what it means to be a Christ-follower. He pictures Christians as narrow-minded, empty-headed, angry, and heartless.
Please understand, when we talk about not compromising the message of the gospel there are two dimensions to this. First, we must not water down the TRUTH of the gospel. We are sinful people and we need someone to rescue us. We need to tell people the truth that sin matters. But we must also make sure we never compromise the HOPE of the gospel. When we talk to other people we must make sure that the message we are preaching is GOOD news. (Sometimes we sound like people who are announcing arrogantly that others are not as good as we are . . . we sound like we are happy they are headed to Hell). Our job is to help people see that a loving God wants to lead them into a relationship with Him that will transform their lives and bring them a sense of fullness and fulfillment that the world around us cannot deliver. We must speak the truth with the love and compassion of Christ.
Never Preach Yourself . . . Preach Jesus
The third motivating principle is in verse 5
5 You see, we don't go around preaching about ourselves.
In a society that urges us to "promote ourselves" the Bible says: "Don't worry about promoting yourself – point people to Jesus."
Every one of us wants to be liked. We all want to be popular. Every preacher wants people to want to attend his congregation. Every Sunday School teacher wants to be seen as a good teacher. The thing is . . . none of these things will lead people to eternal life. If we call people to be our followers then they are not following the only One who can truly save them.
If we take this advice seriously several things would happen,
- We would spend more time talking about Jesus than we do the benefits of our church over other churches. Our concern would be to lead a person to the Savior and then support them to get involved in A church.
- We would sincerely rejoice every time the Kingdom of God was honored . . . even when it had nothing to do with us.
- We would talk more about our struggles than our victories (because quite frankly, we have more struggles than we do victories). We would spend less time convincing people of what fine believers we are and would put our focus on showing what a kind and merciful Savior we have.
- We would spend less time promoting formulas for "how to save yourself (which usually is "be more like me") and spend more time talking about the fact that only faith in Christ can save us because only Christ can provide what we need.
We can't remind ourselves too much: Jesus saves people; we don't. He transforms lives; our rules don't. Our testimony and experience shows how God brought us to faith in Christ, it does not show how He will bring everyone to faith. God uses a variety of means to accomplish His end.
Live With a Servant Mentality
In verses 5 and 6 Paul calls Himself a "servant for Jesus' sake"
and we ourselves are your servants for Jesus' sake. 6 For God, who said, "Let there be light in the darkness," has made this light shine in our hearts so we could know the glory of God that is seen in the face of Jesus Christ.
The word used here for servant is a word often translated "slave". It is one of Paul's favorite descriptions of who he is in Christ.
In Luke 7 we read the story of a Roman officer who sent some officials to come to Jesus to talk to him about his servant who was very sick. As Jesus came near the officers home he sent friends to say, "Lord, don't trouble yourself by coming to my home, for I am not worthy of such an honor. I am not even worthy to come and meet you. Just say the word from where you are, and my servant will be healed. I know this because I am under the authority of my superior officers and I have authority over my solders. I only need to say, 'Go,' and they go, and 'Come,' and they come. (Luke 7:6-8)
This soldier understood the idea of authority. He knew that Jesus had authority over creation. He approached Jesus as a servant. Jesus commended the Centurion because he had adopted the proper posture before the Lord. It is a good an important lesson: the Lord is the King and we are His servants. It is a privileged position.
But don't miss what Paul is saying! He is not saying that he considers himself only a servant of Christ (which he undoubtedly did) but he is saying that he understood himself to be a servant of the Corinthians! Paul did not see himself as a person who was to demand honor . . . his job was to serve the congregation. His job was not to be a celebrity but to be a servant.
How counter-cultural is this? Instead of jockeying for position, instead of trying to rise up in the pecking order, instead of trying to build a good reputation for ourselves, we are to serve each other! We are to invest ourselves in trying to help others grow and mature in the faith.
To be honest, this is something I am continually trying to learn in my life. I realize that often I serve only when it is convenient to me! I am willing to sacrifice only when it really isn't a sacrifice! I serve only those whom I find it pleasant to serve, or serve those from whom I can see some future benefit. Having a servant heart is seeing other people with the eyes of Christ. It is to be tuned in to the needs of those around us and to look for opportunities to reveal the love of Christ in our actions.
I remember an old story about a man who had a near death experience and was given a glimpse of Hell and of Heaven. As he looked in the first room (Hell) he noticed that everyone sat around a banquet table filled with food. However, everyone was emaciated from starvation. The reason for this was because arms had been replaced by spoons and there was no elbow in the spoon. Consequently, even though you could obtain food you could not get it to your mouth. It was the epitome of frustration.
The next room was Heaven. It looked exactly the same except here the room was filled with joy, laughter and people abounding in health. What was the difference? In the second room the people were feeding each other.
As we serve each other we help advance God's Kingdom in the world. As we serve others we get to experience the joy of seeing lives changed.
In 2 Corinthians 4 Paul gives us motivation for living a life of discipleship: We are children of the only true God. Because of that we are privileged to be involved in a work that is greater than anything else we could do. So let's evaluate.
First, are you weary? Have you become discouraged by the lack of response or the hostile response others have given to your faith? Do you want to give up because people keep picking at you? Do you want to give up because change is slow? Are you discouraged by your lack of growth or maturity? Hang in there! Remember what is at stake. Consider what the Savior endured for you. Instead of throwing in the towel ask Him for strength then get back into the contest called life. It IS worth the effort.
Second, are you holding fast to the truth? Are you telling others the truth about the gospel or are you watering down in the hope that it will be more acceptable? On the other hand, are you clobbering others with the "truth" with a lack of the love and heart of the Father? Jesus treated the religious snobs with fierce words, He related to the lost and hurting with kindness and compassion.
Third, we need to ask ourselves if we are point more to ourselves, the church, or some program rather than to Jesus. It is OK to be excited about the church (we hope you are excited about what God is doing here), it is OK to be grateful for someone's teaching and want to share it with others. However, we must always be careful that we are pointing people toward Jesus . . . not toward anything else.
Fourth, we are challenged by Paul to serve the Lord and each other with a more servant mentality. He challenges us to look less at our "rights" and spend less time "demanding respect" and more time opening our hearts to those in need. It is a mentality that is different from the world around us. It is an approach the world calls "weak" but one that in reality sets us free. It frees us to truly see others, love others, and to be used by God to bless others.
Finally, I hope you are led to look at your own heart and ask: Have I embraced the Jesus of history and the Bible as the one who alone can rescue me and change me or am I trying to change myself? Are you putting your trust in your "goodness" or in the sinless perfection of Christ which was traded at the cross for your sin? Putting our trust in ourselves is idolatry. There is only One who can save us and that is Jesus. Have you come to rest in Him? If not, I encourage you to do so today.
And if you have come to trust Him let me remind you today that you and I have been given a tremendous gift and a wonderful privilege. We have been made children of God. We have been entrusted with the life-altering message of God's grace. It is a privilege that should motivate us, spur us on, and fill us with abundant joy.

I tweeted about this recently, but I figured it was a topic that was maybe worth explaining in more than 140 characters.
If you're applying to a studio, get the name right. If they spell it "TEAMBattlesquad", don't say, "I'd love to work at Team Battle Squad."
— GameJobHunter (@gamejobhunter) January 22, 2016
I've talked in the past about how seemingly minor errors in your resume or cover letter can get you in the reject pile. Think of it this way – if it's a popular job ad that's getting a lot of interest, and a recruiter is sifting through dozens and dozens of similar applications, do you want to draw their attention to a careless error in YOUR submission? Of course not. Here's one of those small mistakes that I've seen in many, many submissions – getting the company name wrong.
Seem unbelievable? Something that you would never do? Consider these examples:
- BioWare
- Double Fine
- inXile Entertainment
If you send in a cover letter and say that you're thrilled to be applying to "NCSoft", "Bioware", "DoubleFine", or "Inxile" – you've made an error. Will that minor oversight automatically get you rejected? Why take the chance? How a studio spells its name is an important part of its brand. BioWare decided years and years ago to put that capital W in there for a reason, and I guarantee you that when someone there gets a submission to "Bioware", it at least catches their eye. How can I guarantee that? I work for TurboSquid, and I've reviewed lots of resumes over the years. If someone applies to "Turbosquid" or "Turbo Squid", I always notice, because that's not our brand. It just looks incorrect to people on the inside, because it is. It sends a small signal that you haven't taken the time to figure out how to properly spell the company's name. Don't let that be one of the first impressions you make.
If you're not sure how they handle the spelling, take a few minutes to poke around their site. Don't just trust the logo, those can be deceiving. It might look like something that's all caps or one word, but that might be due to their logo font. Find their "About Us" page, and see how they refer the brand there. It's a small enough thing that it won't get noticed if you get it right, but there's a good chance it will be noticed if you get it wrong.
Good luck on the job hunt, everyone!

The elements are required to BE there, but there is no requirement at all that all entities related to a resource display ever and always whenever the record for the resource is being displayed. They just need to exist, able to be displayed when needed and appropriate. The DISPLAY of all of these things all together is not the purpose of FRBR. The FUNCTIONALITY of the elements and their relationships is the underlying purpose (thus the title, "Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records"). With those relationships coded into the records (or data linkages), the resource can be found whether the route to it happens to be through this attribute, that attribute, or yet some other attribute. What elements display to the user are totally dependent upon the context (type of catalog, type of search, user settings, etc.). Sometimes a display of the "complete bibliographic history" might be necessary to help the user find what they need; in most cases, I'd say it would not.
FRBR is not about display; it doesn't even talk about display. FRBR is an analysis of the specific data elements required to reflect logical attributes and relationships. How those data elements are displayed to the user are entirely outside the scope of FRBR.
I have seen this mentioned a lot that FRBR does not discuss display, but therein lies a problem: if we say that FRBR is *only* about functions, and nothing else, then there is no reason to change anything at all since the catalog today fulfills all the FRBR user tasks, just as it did in the 19th century. We create, and have created from that time, records that can be found/identified/selected/obtained by their works/expressions/manifestation/items using authors/titles/subjects. It was just more complex to do that in the card catalog (and the virtual card catalogs we have today) than in the printed catalog, as I tried to illustrate earlier.
The only difference FRBR introduces from what we have today is getting rid of the "unit record". It does this by creating entity-level records where there will be a *single* record for each work (importing names, subjects, and other information), a *single* record for each expression (with parts of the uniform title, perhaps editors, translators, etc.), a *single* record for each manifestation (as we supposedly(!) have today, but it will import related work and expression information), while items can do whatever. There are various relationships among everything. The function is the same as today.
What is the purpose to change, retrain everyone and retool everything, to create these single records? To continue doing what we do today and have everything display over and over in separate unit record displays? That could be done, but it would be senseless to retool and retrain everyone to wind up doing exactly what we do today. And what about those examples we see in FRBR that have those FRBR displays? The single entity records are there to display a single time, otherwise there is little sense in it; or perhaps it deals with strictly internal database maintenance, but this has nothing to do with "function". Of course today, modern formats and methods can display repeated information only one time through automated means, and there is no need to have single records for each entity.
The other point, which I keep bringing up, is that there are relatively few users out there–and I think their numbers are decreasing all the time–who would agree that by following FRBR, we will create records that are indeed "functional", at least for their needs, since many find the current catalog not functional but dysfunctional.

On my recent visit to Martinique I stayed in La Pagerie, where the island girl who became Empress Josephine as Napoleon's wife, was born and spent her early years. Even 200 years later her presence impacts this 50-mile long island in the southern Caribbean's French West Indies.
She's not beloved, but reviled by many because she supported her husband's decision that slavery be restored on the island. The white marble statue of Josephine in the 5-acre Savane park in the center of Fort de France was beheaded several decades ago and today sports red paint representing blood. Note the picture of Napoleon held in Josephine's left hand.
Nearby, the beautifully ornate Bibliotech Schoelcher pays tribute to slavery abolitionist Victor Schoelcher. It was built by a colleague of Eiffel for the 1889 Paris Exposition, then dismantled, placed on a ship to Martinique and painstakingly reconstructed in 1891 in Fort de-France. There it remains as an active and very much used library.
The Pagerie plantation today is a thriving tourism destination with a restored Creole village, several hotels with nice beaches and easy walking distance access to two different ferries, each of which offers a 7 euro, 15-minute roundtrip to Fort-de-France — a savings of at least 45 minutes than the trip by road.
Blue attired guides from the Martinique Tourist Office are easy to spot near the ferry landing. They offer English language guide services, maps and audio-guides (4 euros) for those who wish to walk around the compact and interesting capital on a self-guided tour. Our guide, Nadina, took us to the Cathedral Saint-Louis, also designed in the late 1800s by an Eiffel colleague, and led us to the downtown covered market.
After browsing among the exotic fruits and vegetables and asking vendors about them, I bought some pods of fresh island-grown vanilla and a couple of Madras plaid kerchiefs. The Madras plaid, which has since become a Martinique icon, originated after the demise of slavery when indentured laborers from India were brought to Martinique. "The different colored plaids indicated the people's different castes in their homeland," Nadina told us
Walking toward the rear of the market, we discovered five restaurants, each in the open and indicated by its own tablecloths, napkins and table decor. That's where we had our first accras, a deep-fried codfish fritter found everywhere.
I was delighted to discover that Chez Carole is one of many places on the French island that accepts U.S.dollars as well as euros.
It's a mystery to me why dried and salted cod, imported from Portugal, became a Martinique mainstay . But that's one of those things I need to find out before I write my stories for the News-Herald's Sunday travel section.
You can still book cheap nonstop flights on Norwegian Airways from JFK in New York until the end of April. They resume in November from that airport, Boston and BWI in Baltimore. Let's hope they remain as inexpensive – $79 each way last month.

First off, I will get this out of the way
.Cena being champ is no real surprise to me. The writers have know exactly what they are heading into, so they decided to pull the title off of Del Rio. Come October when the WWE goes to Mexico, dont be too surprised if Del Rio wins the belt, then loses it, then wins it, then loses it
. well you get the point. In the end, on television it will be John Cena as champ. Why you ask? Lets see, can you look into your crystal ball and say, Wrestlemania? You may think its too soon for that, but in reality we arent that far away from Survivor Series and then Rumble and then the grand daddy of them all, WM. Del Rio will have his rematches and such, but dont look to have him be champ for long if at all again.
Speaking of champ, Mark Henry now has a title to call his own. There was no other way for him to go except this title. They have been building him as the unstoppable force for months now and to have him get the World Heavyweight title was the only way to go. I have never been really too high on Henry I still feel that way. Just because he has the Heavyweight belt, doesnt mean anything to me. The titles dont mean much of anything anyways. They havent meant much for a long time. Its an okay move for him to have the title, I guess after his nearly 15 and a half years of being in the WWE, it was about time he got something out of his contract. He only has like two moves at most (but then again, Cena is the same way) I will say that this run has helped him more then ever in his career. Guess its better late than never. But I will still say he wont have this title very long, just like everything else that has come along in his career.
Dolph Ziggler retained his title in the fatal four way which I have to say was a pretty good match. Have to say the athleticism of the participants was way above par and wasnt a waste to watch. Each entertainer was out to show the fans they wanted a show that they wouldnt soon forget and aside from Vickie Guerrero being there, it was a match that was one that could be construed the match of the night.
Then we have Kelly Kelly and Beth Phoenix, much as I want to say it was a good one, I cant. So what else is new in this division. Its too bad Awesome Kong (yes I know the WWE named her Kharma) is out for such a long time because this division just sucks.
We then come to the other end of the spectrum and there is Air Boom going against Miz and Truth for the WWE Tag Team title. I want this division to turn into what it once was in the late 80s, will this be possible? With Boom as the champs, I would like to think so, but one team doesnt mean the division will bust out. It needs a make over for sure and it has needed one for a long time. I wish the Powers that Be would see this. They kind of do, but it just isnt enough.
No surprise that Cody Rhodes is still the IC champ. I dont see Dibiase coming out of his funk. He also has the charisma of a rock. He is definitely not his fathers son.
I now come to the main event of the night HHH versus CM Punk. HHH was destined to win, there is no doubt about that. Having Punk lose wont diminish how he is in the eyes of the fans. He is who he is. He hasnt had a bad match in as long as I can remember. I just figure out why Truth and Miz came out to avoid HHH from pinning Punk and then Truth turns around and stops Punk from pinning HHH. I dont understand this. Maybe the person Laurinaitis is texting is of all people Stephanie, or even Vince McMahon. Yes Vinnie Mac could be the man that is still part of this storyline. The writers havent really mentioned much about the Raw General Manager either, so somewhere in there they might come up with who that is as well. I am just pulling straws out of my ass, because this one storyline has got me confused. And then you have Kevin Nash in the mix who put out HHH and Punk but it also helped HHH to win the match. More will be revealed as time goes on. This one I want to see how it goes only because of Punk, not because of HHH. I could careless about H.
So there ya have it, my thoughts about Night of Champions. I have to wonder though, seeing as how Daniel Bryan had a dark match and he still has his Money in the Bank case, will he be the only one in WWE history not to win his match when he cashes in? Just a thought I had
. Thats my 3 cents worth, til next time

BP, ConocoPhillips team up to build Alaska pipeline
Published 7:00 pm, Monday, April 7, 2008
Associated Press Writer
Two of the world's largest oil companies announced plans Tuesday to snub the state's bidding process and jointly develop a multibillion dollar natural gas pipeline to move North Slope natural gas to U.S. markets.
Britain's BP PLC and ConocoPhillips, based in Houston, said they plan to spend $600 million in the first phase of the project over the next three years.
The plan, dubbed Denali _ The Alaska Gas Pipeline, is to deliver natural gas via a 2,000-mile pipeline from the energy rich North Slope in Alaska to Alberta, Canada. If necessary, the project would also involve building an additional 1,500-mile pipeline to U.S. markets.
The pipeline would eventually move about 4 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day to markets, about 6 to 8 percent of daily U.S. consumption, the companies said.
No timeline was announced for construction, but the first phase involves project field work this summer and securing long-term commitments from gas companies to send gas down the pipeline.
Much of that commitment is likely to come from BP, ConocoPhillips and Irving, Texas-based Exxon Mobil Corp. The three companies hold leases to nearly 35 trillion cubic feet of North Slope gas.
While energy analysts have estimated there to be about 35 trillion cubic feet of proved natural gas reserves in the North Slope, they believe that figure will rise in the future.
Gov. Sarah Palin had earlier rejected the proposal by ConocoPhillips, opting to stick with a plan by pipeline company TransCanada. That company's plan for a pipeline remains under review by state regulators.
ConocoPhillips first submitted a plan to Palin's gas line team in November, but it was outside the bid requirements of the state's Alaska Gasline Inducement Act, or AGIA.
It was billed as an alternative to AGIA, a law which called for bidders to guarantee progress toward construction of a pipeline. TransCanada's plan falls under the law's guidelines.
Instead of AGIA, ConocoPhillips, the North Slope's largest oil producer, wanted to negotiate a long-term fiscal package covering taxes and royalties on natural gas production; this option failed under the previous state administration and prompted Palin to chart a new course under AGIA.
In January, she turned down the ConocoPhillips proposal, saying such a deal could deprive the state of its regulatory powers.
The company decided to move forward on its own, saying it did not want lose a potential summer season of field work.
BP and ConocoPhillips say they have assigned staff on the project, expected to be the largest construction project ever in North America.

Post subject: Squeak when turning left
Over the past week or so when I turn left I get a squeaking noise coming from the front end. It sounds just like the noise you would get if you get a squeaky cart at the grocery store with it squeaking at a certain point in one of the wheels rotation. Im not sure what this could be. When I turn right it doesnt squeak. When I go straight I ususally dont hear it but it does sometime and i can nudge the wheel right and then it will stop. Also it doesnt do it all the time which is the stange part. Seems to me that it only does it once the car gets warm and I'm 99% sure its coming from the outside of the car.
Ive searched on here and found this:
but I dont think this is the problem Im having. Any suggestions or thoughts

I think is the power steering pump, but also check the brake pads, they can cause a very loud squeak.

Time for new brake pads. Almost certain that's what it is. And to be a little more detailed, it's probably the driver's side pad that's worn down so far and squeeling. (judging by the way the wheel is turned when it makes the noise..)
The reason it does this when the car is warm, is because the warmer the car, the longer you've been driving it, so the hotter the brake pads. Just my 2 cents.

Not sure if they changed it for that style, but a lot of times when there's squeaking and only turning a certain way, it could be a wheel hub assembly.
Which when turning left would be your RIGHT assembly, and turning right would be the LEFT assembly.
But the brakes theory also sounds good to me. Can you do a visual test through those Rims of yours?

Don't start changing stuff until you figure it out... that gets expensive.
I had my car in the shop today. Needed an oil change and new tires (we had wet weather this past weekend, which I kind of went sideways coming off of an overpass; nowhere near Lincolns head on the penny). But for a while, I've been listening to a very annoying noise. It started about when my suspension was redone, and came from the rear. With 104,000 miles, I figured it was the hubs, since the fronts went about a year ago. The guys that are in the security post at school have been giving my s*** about it for some time... being it really sounds like the car is a POS.
When I got home from class, I looked at the price... it was what I expected for my tires, as well as the oil change. Scratching my head, I read further down, "Noise caused by rock stuck in brake assembly. Removed, inspected, and no damage found."
Lets say I was half as ambitious as some of the other guys on this site (compliment
), I would have likely wasted the money for the hubs, as well as time.

I also had a weird squeal coming from the driver's side for a little while and it turned out to be a little bracket that was rubbing on the back side of the rotor..I couldn't see it with the tire off as when the tire was off,the rotor was nowhere near this bracket..the only way i could find it was after I did the front pads and rotors and then saw the rub marks on that bracket..that bracket is kind of small,made out of sheet metal and I just bent it back about 3 inches and no more noise!!

As a newbie to this site, I appreciate all of the back handed compliments I can get...thanks Screwball
I still have a hard time believing that a rock or a bracket would only rub when the car is warm. His initial explanation says it only does this when the car is warm, not when its cold. Maybe it is doing this all the time and gets louder while driving... from my experience, the hotter the brake pads, the louder the squeal when they are worn.

What's hot: Hogfish are still the spearfisherman's best quarry in the shallow waters of the central west coast of Florida. We found plenty of nice-sized hogfish on our most recent dive. Some of the bigger males were 6 to 8 pounds in depths of 45-60 feet. The larger ones were definitely more skittish as they patrolled their territory. Gag grouper season is still open (closes at midnight on Dec. 3). We found keeper gags on all the ledges.
Tips: Most divers know that hogfish aren't the most cautious fish. A good thing about these fish is that beginner divers can work out their "buck fever" and speargun idiosyncrasies on these easily approachable fish. Hogfish are the most common fish taken by beginning spearfishermen. Most of the harvested fish are the smaller females. The males are much older and more aware. A dominant male swims constantly, checking on his females and intimidating smaller males in his territory. When hunting for bigger hogfish, stay close to the females, relax and don't give off predatory signals. Then with a little luck the bigger male might swim in and give you a shot.

Hi Alison I am a 73yr old female and I have consulted beauty consultants in House Of Fraser (Metro Centre Gateshead) and also (Fenwicks Newcastle) about very small spots (not blackheads) which appeared about 2 yrs ago below the surface of the skin on both sides of my lower jaw/ bottom lip area and also on both sides of my brow just above my eye area. I have always used day cream/moisturiser ( all makes) on my face and also makeup remover but no-one can tell me how to get rid of these things. I have spent a small fortune……….please help me!!!!!
Q. Hi Alison, I have quite thick cuticles and have cut them off in the past. I've just started using nail envy and avoplex oil but I wonder if you could suggest a good cuticle remover. Thanks, Maria.
A. For an excellent cuticle remover, you have to look for an AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acids) formula. We actually have a night time Avoplex formula – it's a fab exfoliator.
Continue to use the Avoplex Oil during the day, but before you go to bed rub in the Avoplex Exfoliator and leave it on during the night. It's got an AHA base in it, which 'nibbles' away at thickened cuticle. It takes down the cuticle without you having to rinse the exfoliator off. This will last you up to six months because you only need to apply a dot on each nail.

Hi Alison
I am 45 and have changed from wearing contact lenses to glasses as I have found contact lenses an effort and expense to use.
I am not bothered about wearing glasses but I am unsure about how much eye shadow I should use now I am wearing glasses.
Some people say i should apply more as the frames of my glasses cover my eyes so I need more eyeshadow to emphasis them. Other people say it would be too much and would make my eyes look "caked" with make-up.
Please can you give me your advice? Thank you.

What's REALLY in Dog Food?
What ingredients are in our dog's food? Do you know what you are feeding your pets? What are our dogs eating? Check out the ingredient labels on your dog's food. Do you really know what each ingredient is? The picture on the label and in the advertisements give us the impression that the food is fresh and wholesome. This article will serve as a guide so that you can better understand what is in processed commercial dog food. Kibble, most wet dog food, and many other commercial food products for dogs pose problems.
ANIMAL FAT: This is the derived from a process called "rendering." The rendering process is a heating process performed at a rendering plant. Euthanized and slaughtered animals (including diseased dogs, cats, hamsters, horses, and other pets), road-kill, and even circus animals are required to have a special manner of disposal. They cannot simply be discarded into trash cans so they are gathered and sent to rendering plants. This is where the bodies are processed. At the rendering plants, the liquid ingredients that are typically used in commercial dog food are prepared using a special process. Basically, the bodies are boiled causing the fat to rise to the top. That fat product is called tallow and is named as "animal fat" on the food labels. BHA and BHT are preservatives used for animal fat.
MEAL: When we see the word "meal" in the ingredient list, it refers to the tissue of the animal including pulverized or burned ash skeletal material produced at rendering plants. This does not include hoof, blood, horn, hide or blood.
PLEASE BE AWARE THAT HALFWAY THROUGH THE FOLLOWING VIDEO THERE ARE GRAPHIC AND DISTURBING IMAGES DEPICTING DEAD ANIMALS BEING COLLECTED AND THEN PROCESSED AT A RENDERING PLANT USING A HIDDEN CAMERA. Although the video is old, this still continues here in the United States.
MEAT: Pet food manufacturers use vague terms deliberately. When the meat ingredient is not specifically named (i.e., beef, lamb…) then the manufacturer will list the ingredient as "meat" which is usually animals described above that are suitable for rendering. Simply put, "meat" in this context is defined from any mammal. By the way, FDA testing has identified phenobarbital in such meat product due to the presence of euthanized animals. Also, when an animal is in the slaughterhouse and there are infected areas, those parts are often cut off and sent for processing for pet food.
BY-PRODUCTS: The definition could differ from source to source so I chose to quote the following excerpt from the article, Pet Food: The Lowdown on Labels "proteins that have not been heat processed (non-rendered) and may contain heads, feet, viscera and other animal parts not particularly appetizing." Of course there would be manure and fins when referring to fish.
ETHOXYQUIN, PROPYL GALLATE, PROPYLENE GLYCOL, TBHQ, BHA & BHT: The Department of Pathology, Nagoya City University Medical School in Japan is one of the may studies on these chemicals. I am naming them as a source because it could be assumed that they have no conflict of interest in their research. These chemicals are toxic to our dogs as well as humans. These are chemicals linked to serious illnesses including cancer. Much higher levels of these chemicals are permitted in dog food. BHT is a chemical related to BHA which is also used in dog food products. Ethoxyquin is a pesticide and also used as a preservative.
FOOD DYES: Many of the dyes are known to be carcinogenic.
CORN, SOY & WHEAT: Grains (especially corn) are very common allergens. for dogs. I have begged dog owners to change their dog's food to a non-grain diet. Usually, I have found that skin issues disappear shortly after the transitioning away from grains. These ingredients do not address the nutritional needs of our dogs. They are used as fillers in order to keep the manufacturing costs down and to keep their profits high. There are NO benefits to those ingredients. These ingredients break down into sugars which have adverse effects of their me their sugar levels which is harmful to their metabolic system. Grain-free products usually add potatoes which are still carbohydrates which are a poor choice for dogs, but it is cheaper to produce that adding meat (even if it is an inferior quality of meat). Kibble is the cheapest type of food to produce and arguable the least healthy for several reasons.
VITAMINS & MINERALS: The extensive processing of dog food destroys virtually all the nutrients that our dogs need. Let me put it this way, if the dog food has more than 5 vitamin and minerals added, it is not a good sign. After baking, cooking and processing, most processed commercial dog food has no nutrients whatsoever. Therefore, the food needs to be "enriched" with vitamins and minerals. In other words, vitamins are added to the food. This is why there is a long list of vitamins and minerals that are on the ingredient labels. China has cornered the market on these vitamin premixes that are sprayed onto the dog food. China??? Yes. Pet food products can declare that they are USA products. They are only required to mix and cook the product in the USA in order to make this declaration. If the label on your dog food shows a list of vitamins, minerals, and names of chemicals, then it can be expected that a premix has been added.
I hope that you will be able to look at an ingredient list with a better informed perspective. As consumers, we deserve respect. The pet food industry needs to stop taking advantage of us. Please be aware that what I have written in this article does not describe every product in the pet food industry. The majority of commercially produced dog food engage in the above-mentioned practices, but there ARE some reputable companies out there. You just need to look closely at the products and study the labels in order to make your own assessments. To see my article about the food I give to my dogs, CLICK HERE.

The NCAA Baseball Rules Committee announced some recommendations for the 2011 season including a slight change to the obstruction rule. The major change is the fact that umpires will be enforcing a pitch clock during the season. The rules continues to be that the pitcher has to throw a pitch once every 20 seconds with no runners on base. The proposed rule will also make a 90 second time limit between innings for non-televised games while having a 108 second delay for televised games. Conferences could enforce the rules by putting up a pitch clock in the outfield. The changes still need to be approved by Playing Rules Oversight Panel at its August meeting but it is likely going to pass.
In the 2010 season, the SEC experimented with it during the conference tourney which saw game times cut down from three hours, 17 minutes in 2009 while this past season games averaged two hours, 43 minutes. I asked a couple of my writers and coaches across the country for what they think of the new rules. You can add your opinion in the comment section below.
Brian Foley, Editor, The College Baseball Blog
I don't know how much it will end up making games shorter but the results from the 2010 SEC Tournament is encouraging. I have been to plenty of nine inning games that took four hours but also seen a 19 inning game that lasted only 4.5 hours. It should be interesting to see the results after one season to see how it affects the game.
Mark Rafferty, Assistant Editor, The College Baseball Blog
Its really not going to change much. Most pitchers in the second tournament were quoted as saying that the clock put them in a rhythm more than anything.
William Knox, Sr. Writer, The College Baseball Blog
The pitch clock in baseball shouldn't exist. One of the basic parts of baseball is that the game is not determined by a time limit, but instead is over when one team has done its job by recording 27 outs (in most cases). There is no logical sense in adding a pitch clock when looked at from a baseball point of view, but it makes perfect sense from the television point of view. This is just another ploy to get more ad revenue out of televised sports, which is exactly what is happening in college football. The people that discussed and implemented the clock did not look at the game, but rather their wallets when discussing this matter. The game has already lost a lot of its purity, and a pitch clock will just further pollute the game.
Katherine Cornetta, Sr. Writer, The College Baseball Blog
I am on the fence about the pitch clock. I was raised by a father who despises the sport of baseball because of the length and tenure of games, and because pitchers seem to take their sweet time to prepare to pitch. (He's also extremely anti the DH, but that's another story for another day.) Anything to speed up the game is a benefit – especially considering that these are student-athletes that have (or at least should have) academic priorities – but I don't think it will bring more viewers to the game. The most popular sport in America has 60 minute games that stretch four hours, so I don't think the length of the game is really keeping fan development at bay.
Kyle Tait, WREK Sports Director and Georgia Tech Baseball Play by Play
This new mandate really doesn't change much. It's basically requiring the enforcement of a rule that has already been in place for some time–that a pitcher has 20 seconds to throw a pitch with no runners on base. There's no change in rules here–it's just required enforcement by the umpiring crew of an already-established rule. I don't know how much is really going to change unless the rules committee mandates that programs provide a visible clock in-stadium, similar to a play clock in football.
Jordan Wyckoff, Stony Brook Assistant Coach
I think its a non issue. The home plate ump can just as easily control pace of play by not letting guys step out, etc.
Ray Ricker, Associate Head Coach at Post University
I am all for anything that helps promote NCAA Baseball, but I do not think that a pitch clock is good for the game. The great thing about baseball is that there is not a clock. Games are long but I think it all has to do with metal bats, stepping out of the box, having the catcher go out to the mound and stall and a whole other list of things. Who is going to run the pitch clock? Do you have to pay another umpire? is it a work study kid? redshirt player? If you do that is a huge cost for a sport that is seeing programs get cut around the country. DII in the northeast is all wood and that has lead to two to two and a half hour games.
Eric Valenzuela, Pitching Coach at San Diego State
I stress to my pitchers about keeping a good tempo and work fast. Every pitcher is different. Some need an extra second or two to focus on the upcoming pitch and situation and some hop right back on that mound, gets the sign and goes! A lot has to do with us coaches calling/suggesting pitches and relaying it to the catcher. So we as pitching coaches need to also work fast and have a good tempo when relaying pitches to catchers. Lastly, our system seems to work and this rule should not effect the game very much.

swords swallowed simultaneously - Chayne Hultgren sets world
SYDNEY, Australia -- Chayne
Hultgren, 31, nicknamed the Space
Cowboy for his talents, beat his own 2008 record by
swallowing 18 swords at the same time, each 72cm (28.35in)
long - setting the new world record for the Most
swords swallowed simultaneously.
The 31-year-old Australian downed the 28in
swords in front of Sydney Opera House.
After setting the new world record, he said:
"Wow, I did it, it feels good, thank you very much, it feels
really good actually."
'Its amazing - Im really happy.
Its definitely one of my greatest achievements so far,' he
commented after setting the record.
Hultgren calls the feat "an educated risk"
that he is able to do by using hoses to stretch his throat.
Hultgren is the only person in the world to swallow
more than 13 blades simultaneously. The sword-eater said he
started his dangerous hobby when he was 16 and had used different
techniques to prepare his body, including stretching his throat
with hoses.
"I don't just straight away grab 18 blades
and shove them down my throat," he says. "You've got to practice
a lot and build up to it."
'I waited a few years until I'd got
it perfect and then I moved on to using stainless steel blades,'
he explained. 'It's not dangerous when you know how to do
it, but it's not something that's recommended by my doctor.
Hultgren had previously held the Guinness World Record
for the Most
swords swallowed simultaneously by swallowing 17 swords
in 2008.
So what is the secret?
Constant training with the device that
he started out with - a garden hose. And, of course, learning
not to gag.
'I stretch my throat with hoses and use a few
different techniques to basically enable me to do what, until
now, has been impossible. 'For this feat today I've been training
a lot, doing a lot of meditation. I've learned how to control
my muscles and my internal organs.'
He said: Ive been preparing for this since
I was 16.
But he had a few words of warning for wannabe
sword swallowers: Kids dont try this at home.

Making over my studio is progressing, but one piece at a time as I can work it in. After painting the file cabinets in my earlier post, I decided to use this poor lonely chair that had been hiding in a corner of my studio. I bought it stripped and unfinished years ago at an auction. I had intentions of doing something with it but had not. So it sat in a corner of my studio, lonely, unloved, unused, and neglected. After a re-do, this chair now shines brightly and sits prominently in front of a desk.
Hancock Fabrics had a sale on upholstery fabric so I got the amount I needed at 50% off the $17.99 price for around $6. I loved the print and colors, especially the turquoise. Actually, this fabric is an outdoor fabric, which is even better for studio use. I then went to Lowes with fabric in hand and found a great shade of turquoise spray paint. Its a few shades darker than my filing cabinets.
This project was pretty quick and easy. I just sprayed the chair with a few light coats of paint, then wrapped the seat with the fabric, tucked it under the bottom and stapled. And the total cost of the re-do was around $10. Not bad! I think it looks much better than the "before" version below.
I'm so glad I bought this chair all those years ago. And since I also have a boring wing back chair that I use in my studio, also bought at an auction, I went back and bought more fabric for another makeover. I just have to jump in and try my hand at upholstery which will be much more work than the chair seat. I'm mentally working it out with the help of a couple of books.
Here's to success with all our little (and big) projects.

For city people, there are alternatives. The State Government says the number of patients presenting to hospital emergency departments with GP-style problems has jumped 6.6 per cent in the past 12 months. Dr Chris O'Neill, of the North Yarra Community Health Centre in Hoddle Street, says its custom has risen 10-15 per cent in the past year after two "stalwart" bulk-billing doctors moved out of the area.
But the crisis is most acute in rural and outer metropolitan areas. Program manager for the Eastern Ranges GP Association in Lilydale, Kristin Michaels, says a recent consumer consultation found lack of bulk-billing was the second greatest medical concern of local residents.
Sandra Daly, 56, recently moved to the outer suburb of Cranbourne. She says she has been unable to find a medical practice that will bulk-bill her, even though her only income is a widow's allowance.
Ms Daly says she could not afford to get her usual flu vaccination this year, and now she cannot afford to see a doctor with the flu she has caught as a result. "I happened to go into a clinic off the street last week, because I was not very well at all, and they refused me," she says.
For families whose children have special needs, putting off doctors' visits is not an option. Darrell Harding, from Lara, near Geelong, has a son, Rhys, 10, with an autistic disorder. Mr Harding says: "I work full-time, but on pretty low wages. Our family doctor used to bulk-bill but doesn't any more. The difference we have to pay is about $12 per visit.
"When it comes to the weekend and you want go for a drive to the beach or into town, that's about $12 worth of petrol. Some weeks, if Rhys has had a bad run and needed several visits, we're forced to stay at home."
Chief executive of the Association for Children with a Disability, Michael Gourlay, says the problem is widespread.
"All the good doctors - the ones who are prepared to take the extra time to understand children's special needs - are saying they can't survive on bulk-billing," he says. "If families look elsewhere, they face an inferior service from the few doctors still prepared to bulk-bill on the basis that their consultations are kept very short.
"Bulk-billing's demise is hitting hardest among parents who are in the paid workforce but on low wages. They'll still go to see the GP but it will mean they get behind with their electricity bills, or they'll have to make a heartbreaking decision not to let their child go on a school camp or excursion."
City people are only just discovering what country people have long endured. The rate of bulk-billing has always been much lower in regional areas.
A sole parent who lives in Sale, Nadine Hatfield, says she found the lack of bulk-billing humiliating.
"When I wasn't working, it was either pay up-front or buy food for the week, but you don't want to have to explain that to a doctors' receptionist because the waiting room is full of people and it's a small town, so everyone knows everyone," she says.
Kaylene Lay, who lives in Stratford, about 12 kilometres from Sale, says there is no medical practice near her that bulk-bills all patients.
"If I or my husband or my children visit the doctor, it costs $45 up-front, so we're $21 out of pocket for every visit," she says. She says this means "you watch their temperature and hope they'll get better. You try and barter with your doctor to get prescriptions you may never need to fill. A couple of times I've been to the doctor with my son, who gets tonsillitis, and if he hasn't needed penicillin that day I've said, 'Can you give me a script and if his tonsils get worse I'll fill it?' rather than having to pay another $45 the next day."
For Christina Jones, of Benalla, the issue is the way in which cancer tests and treatments are not bulk-billed. Her breast cancer has now spread.
"I just had radiotherapy, and the gap was just on $650 for two weeks," she says. "Some of the scans - MRIs are up to $700 and you only get something like $400 back... I only earn $18,000 a year."
She says she would rather pay an extra 3 per cent Medicare levy and just "walk in and have everything for nothing and know I'd be all right"

UAlbany hazing suspension upheld
Published 10:32 pm, Thursday, April 17, 2014
A state appellate court has upheld the 18-month suspension handed out by the state University at Albany to a student who hosted a hazing party that sent three underage partygoers to the hospital in fall 2012.
The suspension of Daniel Lampert is set to end in May, although it wasn't immediately clear if he would return to UAlbany.
While this doesn't mark the first time a student has been suspended, the resulting legal action was unusual.
The case began in October 2012 when police responded to complaints of a loud party at 275 Ontario St., located in what's known as the UAlbany "student ghetto.''
Police say they found 15 people younger than 21 who had been served alcohol. Three were so intoxicated they were taken to Albany Memorial Hospital for treatment.
Court documents painted a wild picture, noting that police found a keg of beer, multiple bottles of liquor and a "15-gallon plastic tub of vomit on the floor in the living room" as well as "dirt and vomit all over the floor.''
The incident, according to papers, led to Lampert's suspension the next month for violating the UAlbany code of conduct regarding hazing and alcohol use.
Lampert appealed the suspension by the school's judicial board; when that was denied he went to civil court. The case was moved to the appellate division for technical reasons.
The appellate decision, handed down Thursday, concluded that the university complied with procedures required to mete out a suspension. Appellate judges also disagreed with Lampert's contention that the suspension represented "disproportionate'' punishment.
Lampert's father, Darren Lampert, said he "very well might appeal" the case.
"I still feel the school was unfair," he said, noting that no one testified against his son, who is now enrolled at SUNY Purchase.
Lampert and two other students, Victor Weberman and David Medelowitz, were arrested in the incident and later pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct. They agreed to perform 100 hours of community service, the district attorney's office said.
Weberman and Medelowitz were also suspended; like Lampert, they are not enrolled at UAlbany.
Police that fall arrested more than two dozen students at loud parties in residences near the university.
While it has a strong academic reputation, UAlbany over the years has also struggled with some notoriety for after-hours activities. Although it has been a decade since UAlbany was tagged as "America's No. 1 Party School" by the Princeton Review, it was in the spotlight in 2011 when a St. Patrick's Day "kegs and eggs'' celebration resulted in smashed car windows and numerous arrests. That riot broke out just steps away from the house where the hazing occurred.
Officials said the scale and intensity of the "Kegs and Eggs" mayhem was unusual. The next year, the school changed its schedule so students wouldn't be around during the St. Patrick's Day festivities.
UAlbany spokesman Karl Luntta said federal student privacy laws limited what the school could say about Lampert's lawsuit.
But he said UAlbany officials, police and residents of the neighborhoods around the school have worked together during the past few years to tamp down on the rowdiness.
"A coalition of neighborhood residents and Albany Police Department members have gone regularly to visit and talk to students about responsibility," Luntta said.

New eco-friendly product makes it 'easy to be green'
by Bend Weekly News Sources
RHIMAX, a new organic product, is paving a path into many markets as the latest of green alternatives available for consumers to choose. If you're looking for a way to make a difference in our world today, this is the answer for you.
RHIMAX meets the requirements of all six of the "green" categories. The manufacturing process utilizes 100% post-consumer waste, converts it into pulp and fibers, and then through a chemical-free manufacturing method, it is pressed into a durable felt paper, typically in 36" x 100" rolls. The recycled, reusable, non-toxic paper is completely biodegradable and actually improves the earth and landscaping environments by providing weed control and moisture enhancement. RHIMAX manufacturing alone can make a tremendous global difference. Then add business and consumer usage to the "greenness" of this product, and over time, the effects are truly measurable and long-lasting.RHIMAX is a tough and durable felt paper protecting the home, the jobsite, and your planet. This is the eco-friendliest, toughest alternative to plastics, cloths, and chemically treated papers with an extensive list of uses.
The RHIMAX durable felt paper rolls are cost-effective and adaptable to so many jobs, such as painting, roofing, flooring templates, landscaping, weed control, farming, moving, decorating techniques, packing and shipping, automotive service and repair, arts and crafts, restaurants, and even organic printing.
To officially be identified as "green," products must fall into one or more of the following six categories: As you might presume, some products are GREENER than others.
1. Green Process - manufacturing process considers exposure to chemicals,
source of materials, energy-efficient production, recycled packaging,
reusing manufacturing waste, and efficient use of energy.
2. Improved Sustainability - renewable products making use of available
3. Recycled Content - products made from post-consumer materials or
post-industrial byproducts.
4. Recyclable - products that can then be reused or reprocessed.
5. Low-Toxicity - toxicity lower than comparable products.
6. Biodegradable - naturally returns to the earth after exposure to

Breaking the yoke of bondage

I recently purchased a DVD that had an important lesson on financial management by T.D.Jakes and thought it best to share what I had learnt.
You may find yourself in situations that you struggle with and from which you are unable to untangle from. The most important thing is to first understand where exactly you are as compared to where you would be if you did not have this source of stress. In our world today, money matters reign high on our list of things that are a constant pressure to our lives. Deliverance from financial stress is to therefore know where you are. If you are in debt, you should know by how much. If you have bad credit, ask yourself why. If your credit card was declined ask yourself why it should not have been, especially with your history which is now common knowledge to any other potential debtors..
If you cannot locate where you are then you cannot help yourself. You need to come to your senses like the prodigal son �who came to himself�. No matter how well dressed you are, if you are operating on credit to look that way then you need to wake up and come to your senses. Borrowing from one credit facility to finance another is bad, it is bondage. You should therefore get a clear picture of where you are by clearly listing down your assets and liabilities; you then get down on your knees and pray intelligently for wisdom which will enable you to now steer your life in a different direction. God operates from your current situation to where you are going. From two fish and five loaves, five thousand men were fed. .
Where are you emotionally? Is it the reason you are still single when all your friends have found husbands? Are your roller-coaster emotions the reason you are unable to hold your marriage together?
Life is a struggle and more so for the brethren who have the enemy constantly trying to devour us and bring us down. But you cannot give up and for as long as there is still breath in you, you must live your life by constantly improving who you are and striving to be the perfect image of Christ. You cannot think of doing this if financial stress is taking up all your reflection time. So you have messed up in the past, so what? It is time to move on. Paul, in Philippians 3:13 says �Brothers I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: forgetting what is behind and struggling towards what is ahead. I press on towards the goal to win the price for which God has called me heavenwards in Christ Jesus�. What matters is the final goal and striving towards it needs peace not bondage that keeps you awake at night.. You cannot embrace your future if your present is keeping you tossing and turning with worry every night.
What are your goals in life? Are you speaking to God about them so that He can align His will for your life with them? God does not work in a vacuum, He works with what there is; just like the prophet of God was able to multiply the widow�s little oil into many jars. Jesus himself used the water that was available to turn into wine. What do you have that God can work with? What plans do you want to come to fruition? Talk to Him about them. As for single women, do not put your plans on hold while awaiting marriage, live your dream and let the man find you busy when he finally shows up.
In Philippians 3:`3 Paul shows us his hunger to get to a certain goal, a predetermined spot. You too must operate with specifics. The woman with the issue of blood knew what she wanted to do-touch the hem of Christ�s gown; she was specific. Be specific about your life, be specific with your actions. Do not live in bondage to anything because that is where the enemy wants to keep you.
How then will you get out of bondage and into freedom? Plan. . If you have no plans, then you have already planned to fail. Luke 14:28 says, �Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Will he not first sit down and estimate the cost to see if he has enough money to complete it?�
If you have decided to try a side business to compliment your income then you really need to have long term seriousness. Most people go into business with only three month�s cost of overheads considered. This is like planning to fail already because businesses generally take more time before they can break-even.
Are you ready to be married? Can you be self-sustain for that long? Can you trust yourself to stay interested in this trying union? It will only be a mockery if a few months or years down the line you want �out because you never considered the cost. Maybe you are a compulsive, insatiable junkie who will want more and more and bring the marriage to its knees because of your selfish demands which cannot be met by the little resources that you and your spouse have?
Or maybe you have friends who are bringing you down- the Slick Willies, Dirty Dannies or Freaking Freddies of this world who will use you, step on you, abuse you and betray you? You really need to take stock of those that are around you and how they are contributing towards your bondage to negative things.
There is no demand that God cannot supply, no need that He cannot meet, no desire that He cannot fulfill. Think of what can change you, have a goal, a gift a heritage for those that you will leave in this world. But do it His way-ask Him for wisdom first.
Have short term and long term range goals. The steps of man are ordered by the Lord and He is methodical about that. He does not spurt into action, He prepares us and uses whatever we have or whatever we have gone through to fulfill our dreams and to His glory.
In Genesis we see God creating the world and complimenting His work-by saying, with every passing day, that it is good. You too should have these moments once you gain momentum into your plans. Periodically step back and celebrate and applaud yourself. Tell yourself when you do good. Thank God for the much you have done. Step by step you will walk out of your bondage, out of that which holds you captive. Many marriages are falling apart because spouses are not encouraging one another, some do not even acknowledge the struggle their partners are living with to keep the family together.
The issue to also address is whether or not you are on schedule. But alas! you can never know if you had no plan. This therefore means that you can never really know if you are successful at what you are trying to achieve if you did not have expectations and how they should be met.
Our God is God of movement He is not a monument, He is God of action. He is not a religious symbol or statue that you pray to without results! In a flash He can turn your circumstances around. Real anointing brings power not chaos; because He is God of order not chaos. Through Jesus Christ we learn of the power of God. Jesus began what we are to finish so let us pick up the baton and continue with the race in the style and way that Christ taught us-without bondage, for he came that we may live life more abundantly.
Write down your goals, your business plan or your plan for life; but remember to involve God because He will give you the power to get wealth through ideas and connections in relationships that will steer you in the right direction. Stop trying to do things by yourself, ask others for advise, for help. Walk in the light of what you know to get out of bondage.

Delray Beach - Bonus
"The biggest problem was that I was getting sick all the time."
"My immune system was very weak."
"So that was the biggest issue last year."
"Now I'm 23, If I don't make nothing of this year, next year, that's it, my career is over."
"I'm not the kind of guy who's going to break his body and everything when I'm 27, 28."
"I don't want to be like Agassi who played till his thirties. I don't want to spend all my life running around and warming up, and all the stress. I want to get my career going. Now I'll do the best I can do until I'm 29 or 30 and then that's it."
