President Cristina Kirchner was given a toy doll made in her image. It was a gift from the Argentine toy industry chamber, given to her while on a trip to Indonesia.
The U.S. Embassy in Buenos Aires put out this video ahead of this Sunday's "Súperclásico" soccer match between Boca Juniors and River Plate.
What do you think of the video?
Though she doesn't speak with journalists or offer press conferences in Buenos Aires, Argentina's president this week offered two press conferences in the U.S.
Both were with students: first at Georgetown University, then at Harvard.
The students asked many of the questions people in Argentina would like to ask:
How high is inflation? Why don't you answer questions in Argentina? How is it that Argentina's neighboring economies can grow quickly without experiencing high inflation or limits on the purchase of U.S. dollars? How did you become so wealthy since taking office?
Cristina Kirchner answered these questions and others. In doing so, she offered a controversial defense of her policies and economic statistics. She denied that inflation is high and said she "permanently" interacts with journalists in Argentina.
Immediately following her claim that she speaks with local journalists, the association of journalists that cover her from the Casa Rosada issued a statement rejecting this claim as false.
Her Georgetown conference went smoothly and Mrs. Kirchner adroitly answered questions the way she wanted to. The Harvard Q&A was different. She angered visibly toward the end and appeared to be particularly contemptuous of one student who said he felt "privileged" to be among the few people able to ask her a question.
U.S. history buffs will note the president's gaffe at Georgetown. While there she said George Washington won the Civil War (which ended in 1865, when the South's General Lee surrendered to the North's General Grant). In fact, Washington won the Revolutionary War and died in 1799, more than half a century before the Civil War began.
You can read my coverage of her comments here and here.

The Q&A sessions are well worth watching. Enjoy.
In a bizarre, rambling speech Tuesday, President Cristina Kirchner said the "majority of Europeans are xenophobic."
Here's the verbatim script from the relevant part of the speech, in which the president appeared exceptionally, inexplicably elated:
"You, where are you from, Coqui (she's referring to Chaco Province Governor Jorge Capitanich), you're dark but you're not indigenous, right? You're from Montenegro. Where are you from? This dark guy, and he looks kind of indigenous, but don't be fooled, alright, he's from Europe, from the Europe that's pretty xenophobic. Alright, let's see, where are you from? Well, the europeans are, the majority are xenophobic. Uuuhh, man, I'm going to have to clarify this because if not tomorrow this is gonna turn into to a big stinking mess. Alright, alright, tell us where you're from, Coqui."
In the original Spanish:
"¿Vos de dónde venís, Coqui, vos sos morocho pero no sos de pueblo originario? Vos venís de Montenegro. ¿De dónde venís vos? Este es morochón y parece medio indígena pero no se engañen, eh, este viene de Europa, de la Europa media xenofóbica. A ver, dale, ¿de dónde venís? Si los europeos son…la mayoría son xenofóbicos. Uy, a ver, voy a tener que aclarar esto porque si no mañana se va a armar una podrida total. Dale, dale, decí de dónde sos, Coqui."
You can see her comments starting at about the 10-minute mark.
President Cristina Kirchner said Wednesday that she had asked the national tax agency, AFIP, to investigate a man after a newspaper quoted him saying the real estate market is in bad shape.
The man, who reportedly runs a real estate agency and was quoted Sunday in Clarin, told the paper that the government's latest limits on the purchase of U.S. dollars have rattled the nerves of potential buyers and caused them to think twice before agreeing to buy property.
In recent months the government has severely limited access to the foreign exchange market, making it virtually impossible for many people and companies to buy dollars and other currencies. Given that almost all home sales in Argentina are done in dollars, the crackdown has hurt the real estate market.
"Dollars are just a collector's item now. The feeling people have is that if they let go of their dollars (to buy a house), they'll never see them again," Rodrigo Saldaña was quoted as saying. "Because of this, when we suggest to people that they accept pesos, 90% of them resoundingly say no." As a result, Saldaña said, deals fall apart immediately. People selling homes want dollars while people buying homes are afraid to give them up.
Saldaña's real estate agency typically closes between 12 and 15 deals a month, but last month they closed just two, according to the article.
Kirchner, who became a millionaire thanks to the real estate business, said she personally called AFIP Director Ricardo Echegaray and asked him to look into the matter. He did.
It turns out, Kirchner said, that Saldaña hasn't filed taxes since 2007.
"He either lied to the newspaper or he lied to AFIP," she said.
Whatever the case, for the purposes of this post, it's immaterial whether Mr. Saldaña or the real estate agency paid its taxes.
What matters for this post is that Argentina's president admitted in public — in a nationally televised speech which broadcast networks were forced to carry — that she has used the tax agency to investigate people for saying things that she finds questionable. (more…)
Argentine President Cristina Kirchner is better known for her politics than for her musings on theology. But she broke with custom Tuesday and offered some thoughts on the latter.
"I am absolutely sure that God loves everyone. Because of that, if there's life, it's because God wants there to be life. If things happen, it's because God wants those things to happen. And God blesses all of us. He doesn't just bless those who think one way. He blesses even those who don't pray to him and he also blesses those who curse him. Because of that, he's God and because of that we continue believing in him and because of that we continue having the strength to move forward as Argentines."
Of course, if Kirchner is correct, then her political opponents, as well as the journalists she often criticizes, are simply behaving the way God wants them to behave. But if that's the case, how can they be blamed for simply acting in accordance with God's will?
Labor union boss Hugo Moyano led a national strike last week, against the government — because God wanted him to do it? Buenos Aires Mayor Mauricio Macri rejects Kirchner's plans to turn the subway system over to his district — because God wants him to do so?
Taking it to the extreme, could we explain the actions of Hitler, Mao and Stalin the same way?
What about other things happening around the world? Kirchner has said "the world is falling on top of us" in reference to global economic and financial problems. But these too, in this theological worldview, are happening because God wants them to happen.
The theistic preordination of affairs — and what some would call its atheistic counterpart, mechanistic determinism — have long stirred debate among philosophers of religion. If events are determined in advance, either by the mind of God or by the physical nature of the universe, then we must grapple with numerous logical questions, not the least of which is the famous problem of free will. How can we have it if we're simply doing what God wants us to do? At what point do our own wants and desires enter into the equation, if at all?
Kirchner didn't delve into any of this on Tuesday and it seems unlikely she will in the future. But who knows. Her speeches are unpredictable. Perhaps God wants it that way.
You can watch her make the comments above, starting at minute 13:00.
President Kirchner said Monday she will send a bill to Congress to nationalize the oil and gas company, YPF. Kirchner blames the company for falling oil and gas output, as well as the government's growing need to import expensive fuel.
But it's unclear how nationalizing the company will solve Argentina's energy problems. Critics say the government itself is responsible for declining production. They cite unpredictable government policies and price caps, among other things, for the problems.
Raising production will require billions of dollars of investment in exploration and extraction. Where will that money come from now that the government will own the company?
Kirchner didn't say.
Meanwhile, YPF's parent company, Spain's Repsol YPF, said it will fight the government's decision, ensuring a lengthy and messy legal, political and economic battle over how the government will compensate Repsol for expropriating its top asset.
Within hours of the announcement, government officials were already in YPF's building, located in Puerto Madero, taking over management of the company.
My colleagues and I wrote about the issue here for The Wall Street Journal.
More and more Argentines are traveling to the U.S.
Demand for U.S. tourist visas has soared by around 50% over the past year, according to the embassy.
"Last year the U.S. received more than 500,000 visitors from Argentina," the embassy said.
Visa demand is so high that the Buenos Aires embassy now ranks among the top 10 worldwide in terms of tourist visa applications.
On average, the embassy handles more than 1,300 visa application a day. To meet the increased demand, the embassy has opened a new processing center and hired additional personnel.
About a year ago it took approximately four months to get a visa interview. Now "the visa interview can be be obtained in less than a week," the embassy said in a statement.
To pay for the additional personnel and run the processing center, the embassy said it is raising the B1/B2 tourist visa application fee to US $160 from $140.
"The new amount faithfully reflects the costs our embassy needs to recover under US law through the visa application fee," the embassy said.
The embassy didn't say why visa demand is rising, but tourism sector officials say rising purchasing power is one factor making it easier for Argentines to travel. Another is the fact that Argentines can now pay for plane tickets in quotas spread out over months or years.
One interesting trend is the "viaje de quince" — more and more teenage girls are flying with their friends and families to the U.S. to celebrate their 15th birthday.
As you may know, Argentina bans iPhone imports because Apple won't produce them in the country. I wrote about this for The Wall Street Journal here.
But as I've noted before, the import ban hasn't stopped some of Argentina's top officials from using the world's most popular smartphone themselves. For previous evidence of that click here.
In today's post you can see that even Argentina's vice president, Amado Boudou, uses an iPhone. As you can see from the screen grab above, Boudou, a big Apple fan, used an iPhoto to post to Twitter. Ironically, the above Tweets are about imports. In one, he criticizes people for complaining about a "lack" of goods, saying that people who do this have political motives.
Says Boudou: "Argentina is open to the world but let's not destroy the local industry" with imports.
HT to Facebook user Javier Mondini for catching this. You can follow Boudou on Twitter here.
Sean Penn, the actor and newly-named Ambassador at Large for Haiti, came to Argentina as part of a broader trip to make sure people and governments in the region continue to help the disaster-stricken Caribbean nation.
Penn met with President Cristina Kirchner on Monday.
I met Penn and his J/P Haitian Relief Organization president Benjamin Krause at a dinner Monday night. Fernando Sulicin, producer extraordinaire and a mutual friend, Penn, Krause and others are doing absolutely amazing work in Haiti. They are literally making the world a better place day by day. These people are doing the kind of thing that most of us only think about.
Look carefully at the mural hanging just behind Interior Minister Débora Giorgi.
Last June I discussed the possibility that President Cristina Kirchner would try to reform the constitution so she could run for a third consecutive term.
Last week the president appeared to float a trial balloon to see how people would react to such a move.
The constitution currently allows only for two consecutive terms and hers expires in 2015.
On Friday virtually all of Argentina's major newspapers reported that Vice President Amado Boudou had said it was important to debate the idea now, and not in three years time.
I wrote something like this for Dow Jones Newswires:
In radio interviews Friday, Boudou downplayed the controversial reports. But he didn't deny all of them and he carefully worded his answers to leave the options open.
"It's not time to talk about those things," Boudou said in an interview with Radio 10. "I can't say today what's going to happen the day after tomorrow. We all experience unexpected and unpredictable things that aren't in your schedule now but that might be in your schedule another day."
Boudou admitted to being at a political event in a coastal city Thursday where constitutional reform was discussed. He said he was there as a "political militant" and that things discussed in such meetings should remain private.
"A lot of things were discussed," he said.
It could be that Kirchner simply wants to keep the talk alive to avoid becoming a lame duck early in her term.
As the estimable journalist Roberto Guareschi noted via Twitter, "In a difficult year, the re-reelection will keep PJ barons cautious. And Malvinas talk might serve as a distraction." (more…)

Time : on - in - at
This question isn't only a problem for beginners and I also saw it discussed on English speaking forums. Even some native speakers hesitate, in some sentences...This remark shouldn't comfort you (or despair you!), but encourage you to solve this question which, after all, is quite easy.
1) ON TIME = at a specified time, not late.
- The 10.00 train left on time and will arrive at 12.30.
- He hardly ever get to work on time.
The antonym of ON TIME is LATE (to be late = not to be on time)
2) IN TIME = early enough, early enough to do something = doing something before a deadline, or doing it before it becomes unavailable.
- Will Dad be in time for the concert ?
- After 10 o'clock, you won't be in time to get that important discount!
: The antonym of IN TIME is : too late.
3) AT TIMES : sometimes, occasionally.
- She's usually sweet and kind, but at times, she can be cruel and ruthless.
: The antonym of AT TIMES is NEVER = not ever.
Synonyms are many: from time to time, now and then, every so often, once in a while, on occasion(s), occasionally, off and on etc.
Well, well! You must be ready now... but be careful!

The WNC arts and humanities exhibition "Always Lost: A Meditation on War" is now showing at its eighteenth national venue. It is on display in the Library Gallery at Mesabi Range Community & Technical College in Virginia, MN through March 21.
In addition to the Wall of the Dead, which depicts the faces and names of all U.S. military war casualties in Iraq and Afghanistan since Sept. 11, 2001, the exhibition features Pulitzer Prize-winning combat photography (courtesy of The Dallas Morning News) and literary work by northern Nevada writers that honors and illustrates the sacrifices of those who served in Operations Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom.
"It's a powerful experience that is authentic and meaningful," said MRCTC Dean of Student Affairs David Dailey. "I don't know if anyone who walks in walks out feeling the same way about what vets did for us."
Dailey learned of the exhibit from Minnesota resident Cheryl Softich, mother of Army SPC Noah Pierce, who took his own life after serving two tours in Iraq. Pierce's poetry about his combat experiences and his personal story are featured in the exhibition.
"As we spoke, she told me how powerful the exhibit is," Dailey said. "Moreover, how meaningful it would be to her, and her son's memory, if Mesabi Range College could exhibit this work."
Dailey himself is the son of a wounded veteran. While emotionally invested in the project for personal reasons, Dailey said the display puts a face and a name to the casualties of war and will surely affect everyone who views it, including students, veterans and the public.
Always Lost "takes up the entire gallery" at the Virginia campus, Dailey said. Mesabi Range is the first college in Minnesota to host the exhibition and they are "truly humbled in our efforts to pay tribute to those who gave the ultimate sacrifice."
A grand opening ceremony in honor of the exhibition was held on Thursday, January 16. Barb O'Reilly, Director of Women Veteran and Employment Programs at the Minnesota Department of Veteran Affairs and past commander of the 147th Personnel Services Battalion, was the featured speaker. Invites were sent to area American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars posts and to the Beyond the Yellow Ribbon network.
"It's a humbling and gratifying experience to bring the exhibit to Virginia and the Northland," Dailey said. "If people want to see an exhibit that is done with exceptional class and solemn pride for veterans, they are going to want to come and take a look at it."

Assalam oalaikum,
"Allah (swt) says in the Holy Quran:
Those who eat Riba (usury) wil not stand (on the Day of Resurrection) except like standing of a person beaten by Satan, leading him to madness". (TMQ-2:275)
The above mentioned Quranic verse mentions about those people whose minds and body are totally controlled by Satan, i.e. who are the demonically possessed ones. By controlling their minds totally Satan can drive them to madness.
This type of Satan induced insanity is a paranormal occurrence. As I have discussed in my previous post, this problem needs to be tackled at a spiritual level by an exorcist.
As opposed to this type of insanity there exist some mental problems which are associated with environmental tensions, social deprivation or biological susceptibility. Such problems have got nothing to do with evil influences and therefore need a psychiatric treatment.
When a demonically possessed person seeks the help of a spiritual healer, the latter easily distinguishes between a demonic possession case and a medical one. The cases of demonic possession exhibit a dual personality always. However, this should not be confused with cases of multiple personality disorders (MPD) or the Dissociative identity disorder which we know of. The MPD is a genuine psychiatric disorder and it has nothing to do with evil influences.
When a spiritual healer begins to recite the Quranic verses while treating a demonically possessed case, the person exhibits unnecessary movements. This is because the evil spirit which has attached itself to the person's body becomes restless on hearing the Quranic verses.
This happens to be a sure shot way of identifying a demonically possessed person. Those people who may be suffering from some psychiatric illness will not try to resist a spiritual healing session in which they have to listen to Quranic recitation.
Narrated Ata bin Abi Rabah:
Ibn Abbas said to me, 'Shall I show you a woman of the people of Paradise? I said, 'Yes'. He said, 'This black lady came to Allah's Apostle and said, 'I get attacks of epilepsy and my body becomes uncovered; please invoke Allah for me'. The Prophet (pbuh) said, 'If you wish, be patient and you will have (enter) Paradise; and if you wish I shall invoke Allah to cure you'. She said, 'I shall remain patience and added, 'but I become uncovered so please invoke Allah for me so that I may not become uncovered'. So he invoked Allah for her'.
(Sahih Bukhari, Volume 7, Book 70, Number 555)
This hadith shows that Islam differentiates between mental illnesses and supernatural ones. Every mental disorder case should not be cured only by a spiritual healer.
A good Muslim exorcist can distinguish between these two types of cases and if the case is not of demonic possession then they should refer the case to a psychiatrist.
Unfortunately this does not happen always. Some quacks try to make money by indulging in fraudulent practices in almost every field. This also happens in the field of spiritual healing. The best way out of this problem is to consult a spiritual healer who is mystically endowed with healing powers as well as genuine.
Keep Me In Your Prayers,
Amel Soname


text: This was supposed to have been a calm week... And yet, it wasn't. I spent hours doing interviews, for three different positions in the YFJ Secretariat. And the saga isn't over yet... Plus, one of these sessions took place in Prague, which implied short, but very early flights on both Tuesday and Wednesday. And, to finish the week, Friday was spent at a very successful, but also very long event that prevented me from being at my desk, getting some office work done. Which means that, in order to still do what I was supposed to do this week, I had to cut on the sleeping hours and extend the working schedule. Result: I got sick... and therefore could not properly enjoy the free weekend... So, what's new? Nothing really... Except maybe the fact that winter has started and one of my apartment's heaters is broken. Or that in a couple of hours I will be flying to Berlin, where I plan to enjoy the next three days off. Life isn't that bad, is it?

Selectmen hold off on golf course changes
Updated 10:16 pm, Thursday, December 20, 2012
A proposal allowing golfers willing to chip in an extra $1,500 per year to reserve a guaranteed tee time at the town-owned Griffith E. Harris Golf Course is a step toward making the course semi-private, one golfer said.
"It effectively becomes a privatization at least as far as those tee times are concerned," said Lawrence Christiano president of the Griffith E. Harris Men's Golf Club warned. "We have almost 4,000 members at that course. We don't have 4,000 millionaires at that course."
He said many members are senior citizens living on pensions and Social Security who would be pushed aside by people willing to fork over the extra money to grab treasured tee times.
The Board of Selectmen Thursday held off on voting on this proposal, along with other golf course fee increases, in order to allow for more time to study them; a special meeting will be set before the month's end.
The proposal was part of the annual proposed Department of Parks and Recreation fee increases.
Parks and Recreation Director Joseph Siciliano said what the department is proposing is little different from what the course offers when it reserves times for groups such as the men's and women's golfing organizations.
Christiano, however, differed with Siciliano. He said there are many open tee times during the week for such groups. He said the weekend is very different, with tee times highly prized; approving the reservation proposal creates an unfair advantage for golfers who can afford it.
Siciliano said he was willing to test it as a one-year pilot program.
"If it doesn't work, we will be back here and withdraw it next year," he said. "We're big enough boys to say it didn't work the way we anticipated and we will take it off the table and look at other resources to support the golf course."
Siciliano said rejecting the proposal would force the department to raise greens fees, which would affect all golfers, to make up a $30,000 shortfall. Siciliano said he was ready to present the selectmen the new fee schedule if they denied the proposal.
Democratic Selectman Drew Marzullo said it is hypocritical to see increases in fees, while at the same time the Board of Estimate and Taxation is calling for a 2 percent limit on operating budget increases in the upcoming 2013-2014 budget.
"From my viewpoint, there is hypocrisy going on here," as he continued his criticisms of the BET's "hard cap."
Republican First Selectman Peter Tesei, a defender of the user-pay system, clashed briefly later in Thursday's meeting with Marzullo when the Democratic selectman argued everyone in town benefits through the programs and services offered by the town.
"We shouldn't just be free for all since we have to carry that burden in our property tax," Tesei said. "Why would someone else pay for something they are not using?"

This will be a pivotal point in Alstrynonics. It is in part why I am so confident in my 90 day countdown.....it may be 80 days too generous.
It will be a time of dynamic changes and reactions will be swift and severe. Many companies will likely go bankrupt in the next few weeks. Millions may lose their jobs. We should see some major structural changes around the world.......What was will likely not be.....what will be may never have been........it should be very interesting indeed. Grab your bottle, pick your mix, and get in a comfortable chair.
On your Mark, Get Set, Are you Ready.......................
Earlier this month, Dow said it would lay off 11% of its workforce and close 180 plants but promised not to cut its dividend........
NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Kuwait said Sunday it is terminating plans for its $17.4 billion dollar joint venture with Dow Chemical Co. amid political opposition.
Kuwait's state-run Petrochemical Industries Co. signed the K-Dow deal last month, agreeing to pay $7.5 billion to form the joint venture. If Kuwait had canceled the agreement after the start of the New Year, it would have been liable to pay a penalty of up to $2.5 billion, according to a Reuters report.
This was a BIG deal for DOW.....maybe they could get Buffet to pony up a few more Billion?

Alstry, Me thinks you have it wrong related to gold...
888. Will we see 950 by Jan 1... or higher?
I keep reading and hearing about all this bad news, but it does not bother me anymore. Am I just getting desensitized? Will I be just as indifferent to good new, if we see some again?
I think I'm just learning to manage expectations better.
It wouldn't be the first time I was wrong, and I doubt it will be the last. Just playing the odds baby and my view of the playing field.
Desensitization is simply a relative thing...but don't be a frog in heated water........being boiled sucks...even if you don't feel it.
You should also let your readers know that tremendous opportunities will arise out of this carnage. Fellow fools need to be nimble and be able to turn on a dime. Just because Kaybee toys could not make a profit on $100m in sales doesn't mean you can't be profitable on $1m.
Alstry -
I posted a few questions on a statement you made a while ago. Was hoping you would comment. If you have time please look at my blog history and comment. Thanks.
As for the next few months I think we will see some retail going, going, gone. I think we will see additional banking troubles.
I think we will see money being printed until deflation is not even considered and inflation is the big problem.
My outlook is very fluid and confussed so I am hedging with gold and cash.
So tell me dear Alstry -
Before I settle in with my favorite beverage to watch the carnage from a safe distance, should I cash out enough money to pay off my home, make any needed repairs, buy a new car (cash), and lay in some non-perishable foods before my money becomes so devalued as to become worthless?
My alternative choice was to be the type of income stocks that paid good dividends. In the meanwhile, I believe I will search out small, ridiculously high end boutiques to feed into CAPS with downturned thumbs.
So, what does one do with about-to-be devalued currency; buy dried beans or dividend bearing securities?
Not sure what you posted nor how to access it.......but gold and cash seems like a good way to appease Sinchy and me at the same time.......the more of each the better your odds.
Don't be too hasty to jump to the conclusion that money will be devalued. I know that will upset a bunch of CAPs members, but popularity has never been one of my ambitions.
Here is a thought for those contemplating whether to pay off debt......assuming a bank is your counterparty.....if you feel better having some liquidity....take an offsetting amount of cash and place it on deposit with the financial instution that you owe money....at that point you are hedged against the institution going bust and you can pay off the loan on your schedule.
As far as income stocks, make sure the outlook for income remains strong. Just because you marry a doctor, it doesn't mean he is going to refrain from running off with the nurse.
Alstry, you said "at that point you are hedged against the institution going bust" but that is only true if the amounts on deposit with that financial institution are fully insured by the FDIC. Otherwise, when that instiution fails you will receive a "receivable" from the FDIC in excess of the insured amount of the deposit and a dunning notice for the balance of the indebtedness owed to that institution. And then again, there likely isn't any restriction in your promissory note or mortgage that would prevent the holder of that debt from selling/assigning it to another financial institution with which you have no dealings.
Alstry - Thank you for just the encouragement I needed (on the devaluation of currency) That seemed to be such a recurring theme and was getting just a bit too overwhelming.
There are a few things I do know. I am fairly comfortable with most of the stocks I actually have money in (BWLD, PG, etc) and while some have dividends, I like others for different reasons. I actually 'play' at CAPS with an abandon that I would never use toward actual money. Oh, and while I wouldn't want to be married to a doctor (long hours), my guy doesn't go out for hamburger when there is steak at home!
You owe the institution X and they owe you X. They default on you and you on them....sounds like a wash to me.
As far a them selling the note, now we have a different situation.
But if you want to play it safe, simply spread it out to FDIC limits...which have recently been raised......I was more trying to make a point on allocating cash against debt...but good points....thanx.
And for those guys playing over the FDIC limits, seek competent counsel.....you can afford it.
I have little doubt.....and a Porterhouse nonetheless.
Japan is recognizing that US debt may not be worth 100% in the long run. Must read article:
Very strange article: the main source quoted in the article is supposed to be the head of a credit rating agency, but the activcle notes:
>>Treasury yields, which are near record lows, may fall further without debt relief, making it difficult for the U.S. to borrow elsewhere, Mikuni said.<<
What is missing here? Low Treasury yields means that there is high demand, that the prices have been bib UP, indicating, not a lack of ability to borrow, but an abundance.
You think Japan's debt is worth 100% in the long run with it confronting its worst recession in 50 years?????
If no one's debt is worth 100%, then isn't everyone's debt worth 100% relative to each other?

Spending a Family Holiday in Denver, Colorado
Nicknamed the Mile High City, Denver can be a pleasant surprise for visitors who come to the city. Sitting at an elevation of around one mile above sea level, the city is home to the Rocky Mountains and offers easy access to innumerable ski resorts. However, those who come on cheap flights to Denver will be able to see a lot more.
The city is truly a family holiday destination, with a lot of places for children and adults to see and enjoy. One of the most popular tourist destinations in the city is the Museum of Nature and Science. It is considered as one of the best science and nature museums in the U.S. Here you can see Egyptian mummies, Imperial tombs from China and many Native American artifacts and tools.
Flights to Denver will also put you in close proximity to the city zoo. Unlike other zoos in the U.S., this one is different and should be visited under all circumstances. It has an array of exhibits and animals that you must see along with your children. Some of the notable attractions in the zoo include African jungle exhibit, African savannah exhibit, Primate Panorama exhibit, Tropical Discovery exhibit and the Bird World.
Another place of interest is the Colorado State Capital Building. The structure is famous for its shiny large dome. You can climb up the building to reach the observation decks, which will give you a breathtaking view of the city. There are guided tours of the building also available, which will allow you to see many other attractions within the State Capitol.
Children will enjoy a visit to the Downtown Aquarium. The aquarium houses 500 different marine species. There is also a restaurant in the building that is lined with see-through glass, so that visitors can enjoy marine life while they are relaxing and eating. A must-see exhibit at the aquarium is the Aquarium Adventure.
Just like most other big cities in the U.S., even Denver has its own botanic gardens. There are more than 30 gardens, and some of the most popular are the Rock Alpine Garden, Xeriscape Demo Garden and the Winnie the Pooh Garden. You can be certain that your kids will love the latter garden a lot and you will find it difficult to drag them away!
People visiting the city in winter can indulge in winter activities, such as snowboarding, sledging, skiing and ice skating. Children can have a whale of a time going snow tubing or riding ski bikes. There are many ski resorts close to Denver, with the most popular ones being Breckenridge and Keystone.
Once you finish enjoying the attractions of the city, you can head to the numerous shopping malls here. Some of the most popular are Cherry Creek, Flat Iron Crossing, 16th Street Mall and Park Meadows. You will surely find souvenirs and items to take back home. Perhaps all the money that you have saved on cheap tickets can be spent during an afternoon of shopping.
One of the good things about flying with U.S. Airways is that you can get airline tickets for cheap. So it makes it economical for large families to spend a wonderful and memorable holiday in this city. However, there are other airlines to that offer cheap tickets to Denver, such as JetBlue Airways and Canada's low cost airline, WestJet Airlines.

Dead End at the Anacostia
Friday, July 6, 2007
As if the daily Washington commute isn't tough enough, the Frederick Douglass Memorial Bridge was scheduled to close early today for about two months for structural repairs.
District officials warned the 77,000 commuters who use the span to expect delays of as long as 30 minutes as South Capitol Street traffic is detoured to other Anacostia River crossings.
Transportation officials are hoping that the prospect of delays will cause drivers to switch to mass transit, and they are offering daily bridge commuters subsidized train and bus fare. Commuters also are encouraged to take advantage of parking at the Anacostia Metro station and the park-and-ride lot at Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium, said Metro spokesman Steven Taubenkibel.
Metro and the Maryland Transit Administration are modifying commuter bus routes from Southern Maryland to give passengers the option of transferring to Metrorail instead of riding the bus on heavily congested detour routes. But transit officials do not plan to add trains or buses -- at least not yet.
Metro added rail cars on the Green Line in April and runs some eight-car trains during the morning and evening rushes. But Metro is not adding service specifically to address the Douglass Bridge closure. The Green Line, the system's third busiest, carries about 101,000 riders on a typical weekday, or 14 percent of Metrorail's total.
The Maryland Transit Administration said it would add buses if demand surges. Although many buses run full, there are seats available "depending on time and day," said Greg Primrose, an MTA spokesman.
Only two MTA commuter bus routes, 901 and 907, regularly use the Douglass Bridge, but the MTA said the closure and detours are also expected to cause major delays on routes 902, 903, 904, 905 and 909. MTA buses will give riders a choice between being dropped off at a Metrorail station or continuing to their regular stops in the city.
Metro will change the routes of its P17, P19 and W13 express buses during the closure to terminate at Green Line Metro stations.
Most of the Douglass Bridge's District-bound traffic will be detoured to the 11th Street Bridge. The District Department of Transportation has paved an additional lane on Interstate 295 between Suitland Parkway and the bridge to improve the flow of inbound traffic.
Traffic officials also pledged to increase the number of motorist assistance vehicles to clear incidents more quickly. Electronic signs will help manage traffic.
Terron Whitehead, a limousine driver from Hyattsville, said he will take his chances on the 11th Street Bridge. "They opened another lane there, so I'll just go that way," he said.
Although most inbound bridge traffic heads to destinations in the District, a sizable number of daily commuters -- about 40 percent, according to the District Department of Transportation -- use the Douglass Bridge to bypass the Capital Beltway to Northern Virginia. After crossing the Douglass Bridge, they take Interstate 395 and the 14th Street bridge to reach jobs at the Pentagon and elsewhere.
"This will cut that link," said John Deatrick, the Transportation Department's chief engineer. As a result, he said the Douglass Bridge closure could result in increased traffic on the Beltway and the Woodrow Wilson Bridge, in addition to Anacostia River crossings into the District.
The bridge repairs are being done to extend the life of the span until a new bridge is built. The $27 million project also will allow the new bridge to be built and connected to the street grid without major interruptions, officials said.
About 400 feet of bridge will be eliminated on the northern side of the crossing and 200 feet will be lowered about 10 feet so the span touches down at Potomac Avenue. As part of the project, the stretch of South Capitol Street just north of the bridge will become a tree-lined boulevard.
To minimize the inconvenience, the project was scheduled for summer, when many people take vacations and Congress is on break. Officials said traffic volume is down 15 to 20 percent in July and August.
Project officials are trying to speed the project to completion by offering an early-completion incentive to Corman Construction Inc. The company will receive money for every day the project is finished ahead of schedule, up to $1 million if the job is done in one month instead of two.

Mighty Fine Day in Idaho All TLCA related
Eric Vogt posted this today on TLCA's Bodreps email list:
Yesterday I traveled to Twin Falls, Idaho with some fellow Wild Wild West Offroaders and there were even a couple of NW Cruisers there too where we attended a very powerful presentation by Greg Mumm. It was a pretty heavy Jeep crowd, lots of shiny TJs with Iroks in the parking lot but we were all there for the right reasons. Greg's presentation was on how to work with the BLM and FS in our local areas to keep track of the changes that are happening in our areas. It seems all rather simple now that he has laid out a plan for us to follow. Understanding how the system works makes all the difference in the world in making sure that our interests and lands are protected. I guess he will be at GSMTR to bring some folks some information there. If it is an optional thing for attendees I would surely make a point to drop whatever plans you had to go.
Anyway, here is where TLCA comes in. He brought up the fact at how little of a budget Blue Ribbon Coalition works on compared to the "environists" as Greg says notice the "mental" part is missing. He said the reason that they are winning the fights for land is because BRC is a grassroots organization and people make a difference when they get involved. People can get things done working together even if there isn't the financial backing that the environists have. He told a story of how BRC has some needs and that is small groups that are making a huge difference in fight. He specifically brought up TLCA and Dakota Crusiers several times. The most important story was on how TLCA donated the $5000 for computer equipment. The lady who does all of their ads has MS and needs to work from home now. She is the lady that does the ad work for BRC. TLCA changed this woman's life as they allowed her to keep working for us in the fight to keep our lands open. That is a pretty impressive thing for a car club (that is what Alan keeps calling TLCA) to do. TLCA changed this woman's life in a dramatically positive way. What you don't know is about all the tears of joy that were shed over this. Another thing that probably most of you didn't know is how dramatic of an effect this made for BRC and our fight for land use. Greg estimated that she will process $80,000 worth of revenue generating ads for the BRC newsletter by being able to continue to work from home. I think that is quite an impressive return on TLCA's investment. I know the TLCA coffer is short the $5,000 and we don't realize the $80,000 income generated from it, but I also realize that without the public lands TLCA wouldn't be the organization that it is. I thought you might like to hear about the end result. I also want to encourage you to become individual members of BRC. It is one thing for all of our club's to join and send in our $100 but is quite significant if we all also join indivdually. $20/year doesn't seem like much to me considering all that they are doing for us.
Greg is taking the TLCA placard to the dealer in Pocatello on behalf of TLCA. I also took one to Twin Falls and met with the owner of Wills Toyota. Of course I got the story about how in 1973 he and his wife had an FJ40 and traveled all over the backcountry with it. I could see that he was thinking about some adventure or fun times he had in that rig through the smile on his face. He said they would be glad to display it at their dealership. I'll admit I was a little frustrated with the sales people who kept referring to the FJ Cruiser as the new FJ40. But you can't get to upset with them as they have excitement about a new Toyota 4wd.
Another interesting thing was the Jeep crowd at the meeting. They were all buzzing around chatting about the FJ Cruiser. They too kept calling it the new FJ40. I was more stern with them and kept correcting them. It seems Toyota is bringing an FJ Cruiser to the Idaho 4wd Association Run in June. I'm looking forward to this as I'm planning on attending. It is at the Dunes here in Idaho, which I guess are the largest navigatable dunes in North America. It is about 8 hours away from me so I've not explored this area yet. And Alan I will admit I had to pull out a current TT and share your article with them. It sort of exciting to see Jeep people drool at a Toyota. They are so excited that an auto manufactuer would take an interest in a little state (population) 's 4wd association enough to bring a vehicle out.
I just thought I'd share the positive news. I know a lot of time TLCA BOD members make decisions and the final outcome is not known. I think these are two examples of where the BOD chose to spend money wisely. Both the BRC money and the placards seem to be a success.

POTTSTOWN PA – There was a conga line, a line dance (a couple of those, actually), a cuddle, a swoon, a dip (yeah, it impressed us too), a fast hop, a stomp, and a bucket full of heavy backbeats Saturday (Feb. 8, 2014) during the Someone Special Dance for girls at Lower Pottsgrove Elementary School on Buchert Road. The Valentine-themed event, organized by the school Parent-Teacher Association was preceded on Friday night (Feb. 7) by a similar dance for the school's boys and their guests.
At each, it was mostly mothers and fathers who rated as their children's special someone, and were invited to escort them to what may be the biggest formal social activity of the school year. PTA volunteers thought of almost everything needed to make the nights a success: music presented by DJ Souless (bottom), a literal buffet of fun and tasty snacks, a great setting for photographs, a place to leave coats without having them get lost, and plenty of smiles.
But the dancing (above and below) was THE thing. Escorts generally impressed their kids, who didn't know they could be so hip, and the students themselves – although pretty wired with excitement – wre nonetheless well-behaved.

Leeds United drew 1-1 with Fulham at Elland Road last night.
Lewie Coyle has expressed his delight on Twitter after making his full Championship debut during Leeds United's match against Fulham yesterday day.
Coyle replaced Scott Wootton in Leeds' starting line-up last night, and he managed to put in a credible performance during the contest.
Steve Evans raved about the youngster's performance when interviewed by BBC Radio Leeds after the match.
And Coyle says he was very pleased to have started his first league match for the club he has grown up at.
Buzzing to make my full league debut tonight, unlucky not to get all 3 points but on to the next one— Lewie Coyle (@LewieCoyle) February 23, 2016
Leeds match against Fulham was an evenly contested one, with both teams rather cancelling each other out.
The Cottagers took the lead when Tom Cairney scored, but the standout moment of the contest was most certainly Lewis Cook's goal.
Cook scored what may be voted as goal of the season, after he smashed in a 35-yard shot straight into the top corner, much to his satisfaction.
Unlucky not to get 3pts. Buzzing with my goal— Lewis Cook (@lewiscook_) February 23, 2016
@LewieCoyle congrats bud you were class— Lewis Cook (@lewiscook_) February 23, 2016
Liam Cooper also posted a congratulatory message to both Cook and Coyle on the social media site.
Disappointed with a point! Congrats on your first league start @LewieCoyle and @lewiscook_ on thanks for the support.. See you Monday..— Liam Cooper (@LiamCooper__) February 23, 2016
Leeds' draw with Fulham means that they are now winless in four matches, and they sit in 17th place in the Championship table.

Rogozin and aircraft market with the bureaucratic face of the aviation industry will not save
"We will no longer support the policy of encouraging the purchase of foreign aircraft, if such aircraft can be produced in Russia", — said Tuesday the Vice-Premier Dmitry Rogozin at a meeting at the industrial complex "MiG".
If he said the same thing 15-20 years ago, many aircraft manufacturers with delight directly into this meeting, fell to the ground and kissed his Deputy Prime Minister. But today, I think enthusiasm was less…
No, who argues that the words good, right. Late.
Will not buy in the West, if "this kind of aircraft can be produced in Russia". But the fact of the matter is that in Russia "such aircraft" are no longer manufactured. We fully resets its aviation industry. We have been in the production of Il-96. Its production was stopped. Tu-204 — also do not do, Tu-214 was useless. Tu-334 — his production was even mastered — was abandoned in favor of "Superjet", which at that time was only in the drawings. Now one with great exertion do.
With the copper in the voice at any convenient and inconvenient case of spoken beautiful words about Russia — great aviation power, forgetting that "great aircraft" can only be considered a power, which is building a large wide-body Airliners, not single rivet regional airplanes.
The reality of our aviation industry is that until the orders of the Supreme — all Russian airlines should fly only aeroplanes! — nothing will change, and money for specific projects of the aviation industry will not go. And if I had, and these projects received real state support, then it would, you see, and there was a demand for domestic aircraft.
But such orders from the Supreme, I think today wait no longer: time has changed. Such an order is not a market mechanism. The Soviet aviation industry for a long time in the past, and the conditions in the Russian aviation industry somehow, but still dictates the market. However, the market is a kind of national characteristics, I would say: a market with a bureaucratic face.
The picture is roughly this: your aircraft is our "great aviation power" makes the piece, and only regional, so basically the whole fleet has to buy abroad (what's wrong with the market?). However, 10% of each transaction goes to whom? Mediator. A broker who? The Russian official. And while this "market" our officials will be beneficial, nothing in these "market" arrangements will not change.
In addition, there is another objective problem: Russia, having refused from own production of civil aircraft, practically turned into a raw materials appendage to the global aviation industry. Today, we have had very close contacts with American "Boeing" and European "Airbus". And so dense that no sanctions, about which so much screaming Barack Obama, they are hardly touched.
For Boeing, as before, we deliver your titanium and aircraft aluminium. Is it bad? No, of course. Accordingly, the "Boeing" Russia has already ordered his new aircraft which the Americans are going to be done by 2018. First, 32 pieces, then another and another… Made pre-orders and buying a new "Airbus". And we are not talking about a piece purchases, even about tens and hundreds of vehicles.
While these orders hung in the air. About them and the West, and our officials are silent: we have to wait… And there, staring, for the years 2018-2019 and sanctions will resolve.
Surely dissolve. But together with the Russian aviation industry. Finally. After this time, the production of wide-body aircraft Russia will certainly not have time to set up and to fly on something we need. Like it or not, the liners will have to buy in the West.
And nobody can accuse for failure to fulfill their promises Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin, who today so angrily declares: "We will no longer support the policy of encouraging the purchase of foreign aircraft, if such aircraft can be produced in Russia".
Right. Case this will not happen for a long time.

Biography of Lawrence Durrell
Lawrence Durrell was born on February 27th, 1912 in India, where his father was working as an engineer. He was the oldest of four children (of whom the youngest, Gerald, also became a succesful author). His early life in India inspired sections of his first novel, Pied Piper of Lovers.
When he was twelve, he was sent back to England to complete his education. His father died soon after, and Durrell took his inheritance and headed to Bloomsbury with the intention of becoming a writer.
In 1935 Lawrence Durrell married his first wife, Nancy Myers, and a couple of months later the newlyweds moved to the island of Corfu - as did Durrell's mother and siblings. However, the young couple llived separately from the rest of the Durrell family, taking a small house by the sea (which Lawrence referred to as "the white house"). In Corfu he wrote Panic Spring - which he published under the pseudonym Charles Norden - and The Black Book. It was also during this period that he read Henry Miller's Tropic of Cancer. He wrote Miller an enthusiastic fan letter about the novel and Miller replied with equal enthusiasm. It was the start of a correspondence - and a friendship - which would last until Miller's death in 1980.
Towards the end of the 1930s, Lawrence and Nancy Durrell also travelled to Paris, where they spent time with Henry Miller and Anaïs Nin.
The Second World War and Egypt
With the outbreak of the Second World War, Durrell's family returned to England. When it became too dangerous for him to remain in Corfu, Durrell escaped to Alexandria in Egypt, where he worked first as a press attaché and later as a teacher (also spending time in Cairo). They took their newly born daughter Penelope to Egypt with them but during this period the marriage began to disintegrate, ending in divorce in 1942. Durrell began a new relationship with Eve Cohen.
Back on the Islands and on to Argentina
In 1945, with the war over, Durrell once again had the opportunity to leave Egypt. His destination was the Dodecanese Islands, specifically Rhodes, where he was to be Public Information Officer for the British. He and Eve set up home in a small house in the middle of a Turkish cemetery. His experiences on Rhodes are recounted in Reflections on a Marine Venus.
In 1947 they returned - briefly - to England, before setting out to Argentina, where Durrell had been hired by the British Council to give a series of lectures (these lectures later formed the basis of his book Key to Modern Poetry). However, Durrell didn't like Argentina and returned to Britain a year later, before taking up a Foreign Office posting in Yugoslavia.
If Durrell had felt out of place in Argentina, he fared worse in Yugoslavia. Stationed in Belgrade as a Press Attaché, he found himself isolated and miserable in a hostile country. He did however manage to obtain a large, bullet-proof German staff car that had once belonged to Goering, and took some pleasure in driving around the country in it.
In 1953 Durrell managed to return to the island life, settling on Cyprus. This time, Eve did not accompany him; having given birth to their daughter, she had a breakdown and was hospitalized in England. Only baby Sappho accompanied Durrell to this new island life, where he began to write Justine, the first volume of The Alexandria Quartet. His circumstances at the time were not so different from those of the narrator Darley at the beggining of that novel.
Once again however, where Durrell went, trouble followed. The ENOSIS movement, which wanted an end to British rule on Cyprus and for the island to be returned to Greece, gained ground and in 1956 Durrell was forced to leave the island.
The Midi
Finally, in 1957 Durrell settled in Provence, where he would remain - more or less - for the rest of his life. He finished the other three volumes of The Alexandria Quartet which, along with the success of Bitter Lemons (in which he wrote about the crisis on Cyprus), cemented his reputation as an important British writer. He went on to write several other books, including novels and travel books as well as poetry.
Lawrence Durrell died of a stroke in 1990.

This could be a huge week for the Louisville basketball program. After adding George Mason transfer Luke Hancock over the weekend, the Cards should potentially add another highly-touted guard by the end of the week. Both Ryan Harrow and Kevin Ware are approaching decision time. Harrow is set to make his decision by Friday and by all accounts, it's down to Louisville, Georgia, and Kentucky. Ware, on the other hand, is set to make an official visit to Louisville this weekend and will reportedly make a final decision shortly thereafter. He's down to either Louisville or Georgia. So, this begs the question, which one will end up at Louisville?
I have a strange feeling it's Ware after everything is said and done. Harrow will make a decision first, and the domino's will fall in whatever direction he doesn't choose. He's basically the one pulling all the strings. If he chooses Georgia, then I'd say there's little chance Ware follows him and decides to compete with another highly rated prospect for three years at the same position. More than likely, wherever Harrow does not go, Ware will end up. And if I had a guess at this point, Harrow chooses Georgia and Ware, by default, ends up here in the river city.
In my eyes it's a win-win situation. Harrow is a former 5-star guard and a third team Parade All-American and had a solid first year at NC State where he averaged 9.3 ppg and started 10 of the last 15 games for the Wolf Pack. Before that, in high school, he was the Georgia Gatorade Player of the Year and averaged 31.4 ppg as a senior. He was ranked #25 overall by Scout.com and #19 overall by Rivals. Harrow is a pretty fluid, smooth point guard that makes the right decision more often than not. He can also score the ball if he needs to, as evidenced by his gaudy high school numbers. I think you know exactly what you get with Ryan Harrow: a guy who has high D-1 experience and is a steady hand at the point guard position and a very capable replacement for Peyton Siva in the future.
Ware is still a work in progress in my eyes. When I saw him at the Derby Festival Classic a few weeks ago, I saw a kid who has a crazy upside and a ton of untapped potential. I also saw some suspect ball-handling and some very bad decision making (8 turnovers, to lead the game in that category). But, you have to keep in mind, this was an all-star game and it's definitely played a bit looser than normal. In the days leading up to the game in the practices, I witnessed some explosive moves around the basket, some freakish athleticism, and a few dunks that left my mouth wide open. I have no doubt that Ware has the potential to be a great player in a few years. He needs some good coaching and some better discipline handling the ball, but I see good things in his future. He also needs to gain weight (currently listed at 6-4, 170) in order to become a more physical player on and off the ball. Ware is currently listed as a 4-star prospect and the #99 player on Scout's list for 2011 and #70 by Rivals.
One other thing to note about Ware, he's gotten a bad name for being involved with the whole UCF – Ken Caldwell ordeal, but keep in mind that this kid was committed to Tennessee for 2 years before Bruce Pearl was fired. For a young kid to stay committed to one school for that long with all the handlers, AAU coaches and various other things being constantly thrown in your direction, I think it actually speaks volumes about his character. He's not the type of kid that wants to be a drama queen and serve as the center of attention, which he's been made out to be. He's only in this situation now because the coach he initially pledged his support to, was ultimately fired. It was unfortunate that he and his family took some bad advice and listened to Ken Caldwell, but it shouldn't be a permanent scar that people refer to when bringing up the name Kevin Ware.
So, in the end, who will it be – Ware or Harrow? Stay tuned and the answers should start falling by this weekend.

Friendship is love,
Without friendship love means nothing!
Without friendship love is empty…
Without friendship love is boring...!
Friendship means sharing…
People learn to share from friendship,
Share everything they have in life,
Friendship is like stars,
Even though we always see them together
Always mean to each other…
Sometimes they argue!
Friendship is like flower,
Soft but strong!
Friendship is like sun,
Bright and beautiful!

The Men in Black - QPR v Chelsea
Mike Dean from the Wirral will take charge of this weekend's FA Cup encounter between Queens Park Rangers and Chelsea.
The official set off on his path in 1985 before progressing to the National List of Referees in 1997. Three years later he joined the Select List where he has resided since.
He has taken charge of both the FA Cup Final (2008) and League Cup Final (2011) and remains one of the most experienced officials on the list.
This weekend he will be assisted by Stephen Child & Peter Kirkup with the fourth official the fellow Select List referee, Mike Jones.
Thus far this season Dean has taken charge of 24 games dishing out 76 yellow cards and a solitary red - giving him a card average 3.21 cards per game.
Refereeing Rangers
Dean first took charge of QPR as the R's travelled to Swindon Town in 1998. Despite Mike Sheron giving Rangers the advantage, Mark Walters levelled before half time with a spot kick, before Iffy Onoura turned the game on its head - Walters then netted the clincher at the death with Paul Murray also seeing red.
In 1999 that 3-1 scoreline was in Rangers' favour as defender Jermaine Darlington handed QPR a lead, added to by a Chris Kiwomya strike. Clyde Wijnhard halved the arrears before Gavin Peacock clinched the opening day win for the R's.
Fast forward to 2006 - where Dean's Select List exploits kept him away from Rangers. His return to presiding over QPR didn't go down well as Crystal Palace mauled Rangers. Former youth product Dougie Freedman netted along with strikes from Shefki Kuqi and the enigmatic Clinton Morrison.
The last time Dean refereed a Rangers clash was against Coventry City in 2008. A drab goalless draw, rather typical of both teams at the time as both were firmly locked in Championship mid-table mediocrity.

Pink-Eyed Whites have a long history in the rat fancy. The Albino rat (officially known as the Pink-Eyed White or PEW) is most likely the very first mutation to be discovered and purposely bred. Albinism is a very common mutation even in wild populations, showing up in many animals including dogs, horses, ferrets, rabbits, cavies, and many others including rats and mice. Naturally, the white coats and pink eyes of these animals would make it very difficult for them to survive in the wild. Discovered by someone with an interest in animals, however, an oddly colored white rat might well have been captured rather than killed. (The Pink-Eyed White Rat by Nichole Royer)
Albinism is a simple recessive trait. It should be kept in mind that the Albino gene covers up or "prevents the expression" of whatever color or pattern happens to be present on the rat. The color and pattern are still there, you just can't see them. Most of the PEW rats currently kept by fanciers are actually Hooded. There are actually two types of PEW rats out there. The first one we see most commonly is the true Albino. The second kind is simply pink-eyed Marked (Capped or Masked) rats which have been selected for less and less color. Eventually you get rats that are white all over with pink eyes. (The Pink-Eyed White Rat by Nichole Royer)
Albinos have a number of differences in their visual systems compared to normally pigmented animals. In a nutshell, albinos have no pigment — no melanin — in their eyes. This means no pigment in the iris. That's why the iris looks red — the only color left comes from blood in the capillaries. Albinos also lack pigment deeper in the eye, pigment which normally absorbs light. Without it, light inside the eye scatters. The consequence is that the albino's eye is flooded with light. Over time, the light causes retinal degeneration. In addition to all this, albinos have abnormal neural connections between the eyes and the brain. The end result of all this is that albino rats have very poor vision. (http://www.ratbehavior.org/)

Record number of players heading stateside to play at the collegiate level in the fall
Jets scholarships soar
In 1993, Poppy Gilliam signed with Brown University to become the first St. Catharines Jets player to play soccer on a scholarship in the United States.
A total of 22 Jets players followed in Gilliam's cleatsteps from 1994 until 2004 when the trickle became a flood with the advent of the Jets under-17 and under-18 showcase teams.
Since 2004, 57 women from the Jets have garnered scholarships to American universities, including a record dozen that will be heading stateside this fall to play soccer at the collegiate level.
Ary Van Eyk, the college coordinator of the program, estimates upwards of $7 million in scholarship money has been booted into the education funds of the talented Jets players.
The idea to create the showcase teams was booted around for a number of years by the Jets' executive before it came to fruition.
"We long thought that if a girl comes to our club when she's eight years old, what is there at the very end? In most clubs, there's nothing left and we thought we would do this and we would be a club that people would want to go to. Now we get kids from Hamilton, Mississauga, Niagara Falls and everywhere," Van Eyk said.
Malcolm Corfield, the head coach of the under-17 showcase squad, said there were many reasons to start the program.
"One of the motivations is that many of us have been with the club for 20-plus years. I've had daughters play and I have granddaughters coming into the program. It's a continuous cycle and we've seen the club grow.
"It's a tremendous motivation to see the young player come through and then get something out of the sport by using soccer as a tool."
The Jets graduates also provide role models for future scholarship hopefuls.
"It would be nice if it happened in Canada and it may happen one day," Corfield said.
Tryouts for the teams start at end of the club season in August and under-17 and under-18 squads are selected by the end of September. The teams then practise every weekend until a pair of back-to-back showcase tournaments in New Jersey and Delaware in November. Last fall, about 60 girls tried out and 32 girls were selected for the two teams.
"We take girls who are 16 years old and we get them ready. They go down there and the coaches look at them. The next year, the kid is there again and the coach is there again and they say, "That's the kid I want," " Van Eyk said.
Last year, each player paid $650 which covered travel, accommodation and registrations. The program is operated on a cost-recovery basis.
"It's a showcase but we also have the personal contacts," Van Eyk said.
The coaches and managers go on a trip to watch two or three of their former players' games and every January, team representatives attend the NCAA soccer coaching convention.
But no matter how much the Jets lobby for their particular players, it's results that keeps American schools coming to the Jets on cross-border, soccer-player shopping trips.
"Our girls are really good. There's four or five captains on teams down there," Van Eyk said.
Members of the Jets organization that make the program work are: Van Eyk; Corfield; under-18 head coach Derek Milne; registrar Martin Bissell; under-16 assistant coach Noel White; manager Martin Bissell; equipment manager Ted Ratkovsky; and, player manager Harrison Hull.
The group hopes to continue moving the program upward and onward.
"We're now at two teams and eventually we would like to go to three teams and then maybe to four teams," Van Eyk said.
The first step would be to field under-16, under-17 and under-18 teams.
"If it's 14 and 15, they're a little too young and lots can happen," Van Eyk said.
Heading stateside this year are: St. Catharines Collegiate's Shannon and Jessica Danku, St. Francis' Hailey Altenburg, Governor Simcoe's Danielle Harding and Mississauga native Ashlee Savona, heading to NCAA Division 1 Northwestern State University in Louisiana; Niagara Falls native Ann Stranges and Ancaster resident Tiara Van Zeben, off to NCAA Division 1 Southeastern Louisiana University; Niagara-on-the-Lake's Julia Friesen, signed with NCAA Division 3 St. Lawrence University in New York; Mississuaga's Victoria Parsons, heading to NCAA Division 1 Michigan University in Ann Arbor; Fenwick's Dawn Elmers, signed with NCAA Division 1 Liberty University in Virginia; Waterdown's Alison Bogar, heading to NCAA Division 2 Davis Elkins University in West Virginia; and, Fort Erie's Kendyle Millar, off to NCAA Division 2 Northeastern State University in Oklahoma.
Two Governor Simcoe graduates, Kathleen Flynn and Alexi Royer, are also contemplating scholarship offers.
Eighteen-year-old Shannon Danku, a 5-foot-8 defender, credits the Jets' coaches and managers for the program's success.
"It's definitely the people running it. They care so much about us and they work so hard. All day, every day they're working for us to get it done."
Twin sister Jessica, a six-foot keeper, adds that the showcase teams are a perfect way to attract interest.
"I think it's because we work so well together that we are able to do better as a team. And everyone who goes to these tournaments wants to do well. It's not like we go there to have fun but we try to have fun while we're there."
Players must be motivated to be in the program.
"You have to want it," Shannon said.
The twins are drawn to the United States by the calibre of play.
"The level of competition is much greater than the university level in Canada. And it's a great experience being able to go somewhere else," Jessica said.
Both women are determined to start for Northwestern State.
"I think the chances are pretty good because we have a personal trainer and we work out six days a week," Shannon said.
Jessica has a family motivation to earn the starting keeper's job.
"I would love to be able to start so I can call my mom, tell her I'm playing, and tell her to come and watch."
A 22-hour drive from St. Catharines to the university means her mom (Sharon) will only come if she is starting a game.
The Dankus's plan to study health and exercise science with Shannon hoping to become an athletic trainer or paramedic while Jessica dreams of becoming an athletic trainer for a pro sports team.
"It's to get a good education and if we come back here, we come back here. If we don't, we'll stay there," Shannon said.
Jessica wants to be a continuing presence with the Jets program.
"I plan on coming back and being an example that if I can do it, they can do it."
She says it's "kinda" a thrill to be going away to play soccer with her sister.
"We always knew there would be a day when we would be split up, but not yet."

Visit Audiogrid.com for audio links, music reviews, guitars, manufacturer tours, and audio downloads.
There are several links on the left of this page to allow you to navigate to all of the site. The "Audio Etc" area features downloads of freeware and trial software related to audio as well as online calculators for audio projects. The "Audio Related Site List" is a link to our extensive audio link list which is updated every morning [or more often some days - grin]. Give it some time to load - it is quite large. I have considered breaking it up into individual pages but the daily editing nightmare that would result for us keeps with with the single page. The "Guitars and more" area links you to a fun gallery of guitars and more that have passed through our hands at one time or another. The "Manufacturer Factory Tour" area links you to a page of links to tours of factories we have visited - mostly audio or video related manufacturers. This area will continue to expand however, we will be removing some of the older tours as the products are no longer relevant. The "Music Reviews" section links to a list of both recorded and live performance reviews we have posted. Enjoy your tour around the site!

When Printing long pages from Zen theme or a Subtheme only the first page of content prints. After this, a blank page two will print but nothing else.
Removing this line from layout.css fixed the problem so all pages of a long page will print:
/* If a div.clear-block doesn't have any content after it, Firefox and Safari
will mistakenly place several pixels worth of space between the bottom of
the div and the bottom of the viewport. This fixes it. */
#page { overflow-y: hidden; } /* CSS3 property */
I am using Firefox 3.0 on Linux, Mac, and PC.
Can others verify this bug?

The Historical-Grammatical Nanny State
Typological interpretation is either abused or frowned upon, a domain relegated to mystics and charlatans, where the angels of modern academia fear to tread. But what if the Bible itself contained safeguards against irresponsible flights of fancy? And if it did, what would they look like?
Years ago, a friend well-versed in theology noticed that three thousand Israelites were slain at the first Pentecost and three thousand believed at the last. He questioned if such an observation was valid, yet this is precisely the kind of response that the texts were intended to elicit.
It is tragic that someone so educated and so familiar with the Scriptures would be afraid of venturing beyond an imaginary — and entirely arbitrary — hermeneutical safeguard. What is most distressing is that the benefits of his familiarity with the Scriptures were hamstrung by his theological education. Not only does my friend miss out on much of what the Bible has to offer, but so do all those under his ministry.
Modern biblical scholarship has become an industry which alienates the common man from the Bible every bit as much as the "veil of expertise" which robbed Christians of the Word under Rome. When direct contact with the texts is not permitted, people's minds are not shaped by them, and they resort to foolish superstitions or fall prey to the world's philosophies. The Bible is "protected" but the culture is left to the ravens.
The origins of this historical-grammatical "protectionism" were as well-meaning as those which locked the Word away in the early centuries of the Church, but this time the satanic strategy is different. This time, the Word itself is not illegal. It is readily available, and found in the ears and mouths and hands and hearts of many people. But to shield Christians from the irresponsible claims of Bible teachers who consult their own imaginations for hidden meanings in the text, teachers and hearers are bound by rules that render obvious associations, such as the one mentioned above, beyond the bounds of hermeneutical propriety. We are not allowed to read the Bible in the way it was intended to be read.
