Boehner should simply give Obama exactly what he wants and put it to as floor vote. ALL Republicans vote "PRESENT" and let the measure pass with only Democrat votes and send it to Ried. McConnell should have his troops vote :"PRESENT" and let the measure, like Obamacare, be a solely Democrat problem. As the economy tanks, only Obama can take full blame.

The latest trend in laptops is netbooks; small, lightweight, inexpensive computers primarily designed for web browsing and emailing.
The Good Housekeeping Research Institute evaluated 9 of the latest entries.
Netbooks - a notebook computer with a small processor and screen, are growing in popularity - both for their size and price.
Rachel Rothman Test Engineer, Good Housekeeping Research Institute These netbooks are great for students to carry into class, for traveling businessmen to take with them, and also mothers when they are in the kitchen to quickly look up a recipe.
In the Good Housekeeping Research Institute's tests, the $350, thin and light Asus Eee PC 1000HA ranked Number 1. It loaded programs and transferred files faster than all the other machines tested. The $400 Lenovo had the largest screen, in spite of being the most compact of all the Netbooks.
Rachel Rothman "And its battery life was quite exceptional lasting almost four hours."
The super small $330 MSI Wind U120 offers the most viewable screen in both sunlight and darkness. But some consumers complained that the keystrokes felt stiff. And the $350 Dell Mini 10 was the only netbook tested with a built in port for easy watching of web video.
You can save $250 or more by picking a netbook over a full-size laptop.

More than a dozen injured as car plows through parade in Virginia
A car driven by an elderly man who may have lost consciousness plowed through a small-town parade of hiking enthusiasts in southwestern Virginia on Saturday, injuring more than a dozen people, some seriously, authorities said.
The incident occurred in the Appalachian town of Damascus at the start of the annual Trail Days festival, as the main street was filled with hikers making their way from one end of town to a park at the other, volunteer fire department chief Ben Sanders told Reuters.
Sanders said investigators were uncertain what caused the collision between the automobile and the parade, but it appeared that the elderly man who was driving "passed out or had some medical issue, and he ran through the crowd with his car."
None of the injuries was believed to be life-threatening, Sanders added.
He said the motorist told authorities afterward he did not remember what had happened.
Steve Webb, who helps run a backpacking and outfitters store in town, said a number of hikers he spoke with afterward told him they saw bystanders lifting the runaway car off a person who had been dragged under the vehicle.
Webb said amateur video footage he saw of the accident showed "the car coming up behind the hikers and running through them," adding that the automobile in question appeared to have pulled around an ambulance before plowing into the crowd.
Sanders said three to four people who were the most seriously hurt were flown to hospitals by helicopter, and about six to eight others were transported by ambulance. Eight to 10 people with fairly minor injuries were treated at the scene, he said.
A spokesman for Johnston Memorial Hospital in nearby Abington confirmed his hospital had treated seven people brought by ambulance with injuries they received in Damascus.
The annual Trail Days festival draws thousands of tourists to Damascus for an event celebrating the town's proximity to four scenic trails that converge there – the Appalachian Trail, U.S. Bicycle Route 76, the Iron Mountain Trail and the Virginia Creeper Trail.

Suspension oil for shocks and forks.
Arthur in TX
this grease works very well and i would recommend it to anyoneRead All Reviews
Joel in CO
Didn't seem to last very long and kind of pricey for what you actually get. Ended up going with Bel-Ray Fork oil instead.Read All Reviews
mike in AZ
Spendy for sure. I use it only in the inner chambers of my SSS forks and cheaper stuff in the outers. Just a mental thing I guessRead All Reviews
Chris in FL
Worked great for cleaning suspension parts when changing fork seals. No residue. The parts looked like new. I also used it on the outside of the forks to remove old glue residue from old decals. This stuff is great!Read All Reviews
Matt in NV
I run this in my forks and my shock even though it's suspension fluid. This stuff rates well on the index and bike suspension works wellRead All Reviews
Brian in AZ
Slippery shock oil that seems to work great in my '00 CR250 shock. I'm running the equivalent Bel-Ray fork oil as well and have no complaints. Doesnt fade to heat through the desert whoops. Cheaper than other brands too!Read All Reviews

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — It would be a sin to use a hotel gym in this city, given the eye candy outdoors. Here's a sampling from my jetlag-busting jog around Mill Creek Park: fantasy film-worthy birds, butterflies, and bunnies; sculpted stallions leaping through sun-sparkled spray; folks stretching and flexing on orange trail-side contraptions; a tai chi master striking moves beneath a shade-tree; and an illusionist spinning hoops. No treadmill beats this free show.
Clearly, Kansas City culture goes beyond its barbecue, beer, and baseball.

What is the prognosis (outlook) and complications for patients who get the flu?
In general, the majority (about 90%-95%) of people who get the disease feel terrible (see symptoms) but recover with no problems. People with suppressed immune systems historically have worse outcomes than uncompromised individuals; current data suggest that pregnant individuals, children under 2 years of age, young adults, and individuals with any immune compromise or debilitation are likely to have a worse prognosis. In most outbreaks, epidemics and pandemics, the mortality rates are highest in the older population (usually above 50 years old). Complications of any flu virus infection, although relatively rare, may resemble severe viral pneumonia or the SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome caused by a coronavirus strain) outbreak in 2002-2003 in which the disease spread to about 10 countries with over 7,000 cases, over 700 deaths, and had a 10% mortality rate.
At the beginning of the recent 2009 H1N1 pandemic, the numbers of people with flu-like illness were higher than usual and the illness initially affected a much younger population than the conventional flu. As the pandemic progressed, more young children became infected than usual, but the mortality statistics became more similar to those of the conventional flu mortality with an older population (especially ages 50-64) having the highest death rate. The best news about the H1N1 swine flu is that the majority of people worldwide who has caught the H1N1flu recovered without medical treatment and had an excellent prognosis, but this is not always the situation as demonstrated by the 1918 flu pandemic.
What is the bird (avian) flu?
The bird flu, also known as avian influenza and H5N1, is an infection caused by avian influenza A. This virus is not the one that causes SARS, an acute respiratory syndrome caused by a coronavirus. Bird flu can infect many bird species, including domesticated birds such as chickens. In most cases, the disease is mild; however, some subtypes can be pathogenic and rapidly kill birds within 48 hours. Rarely, humans can be infected by these bird viruses. People who get infected with bird flu usually have direct contact with the infected birds or their waste products. Depending on the viral type, the infections can range from mild influenza to severe respiratory problems or death. Human infection with bird flu is rare but frequently fatal. More than half of those people infected (over 340 infected people) have died (current estimates of the mortality [death] rates in humans is about 60%). Fortunately, this virus does not seem to be easily passed from person to person. The major concern among scientists and physicians about bird flu is that it will change (mutate) its viral RNA enough to be easily transferred among people and produce a pandemic similar to the one of 1918. There have been several isolated instances where a person has been reported to get avian flu in 2010; the virus was detected in South Korea (three human cases) resulting in a quarantine of two farms, and in 2012, over 10,000 turkeys died in a H5N1 outbreak with no human infections recorded. Recent research suggests that some people may have had exposure to H5N1 in their past but had either mild or no symptoms.
In addition, researchers, in an effort to understand what makes an animal or bird flu become easily transmissible to humans, developed a bird flu strain that is likely easily transmitted from person to person. Although it exists only in research labs, there is controversy about both the synthesis and the scientific publication of how this potentially highly pathogenic strain was created.
Do antiviral agents protect people from the flu?
Vaccination is the primary method for control of influenza; however, antiviral agents have a role in the prevention and treatment of mainly influenza type A infection. Regardless, antiviral agents should not be considered as a substitute or alternative for vaccination.
As of Dec. 15, 2010, the CDC published the following concerning antiviral medications:
Antiviral medications with activity against influenza viruses are an important adjunct to influenza vaccine in the control of influenza.
The following is the CDC recommended dosage for antiviral medications for the treatment of influenza (flu) for the 2012-2013 season:

Chiropractic Association Of South Africa
Chiropractic is a health profession specialising in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system and the affects of these disorders on the function of the nervous system and general health.
Stress plays a huge factor in anyone's overall health. The reason is because it affects you in your mind, your body, and your lifestyle habits.
Common sense and science suggest that as parents, we exert a tremendous influence, for better or worse, on our children. When it comes to exercise, an adult couch potato effectively nurtures a child couch potato, who then becomes yet another adult couch potato years down the road - a vicious cycle of inactivity that increases disease risk.
It's a running joke in our clinic that the most accurate method of predicting storms is to see how full the waiting room is. But why do some people seem to be able to predict coming rains based on their aches and pains? It's a question I hear from my patients every time weather changes are on the horizon.
Stress is a part of life, and so is back pain. Ironically, stress is a leading cause of episodic back pain. Your body experiences a cascade of physiological responses during chronic stress setting the stage for injury.
Upwards of 80 percent of adults suffer at least one episode of back pain in their lifetime, which means you've already felt the pain, are feeling it now or will feel it before you know it.
Water does not work on its own. It needs help from both salt and protein. Salt and protein are like guardians; they move water to where it should be and keep it there.

Towards the end of the month, the air has become cooler and crisper as the wind blows and the leaves crunch under our feet. Our Septembers are filled with school days, walks, trips to the park, running, start-up of activities, and the beginning of the rain. Looking forward to what the next month brings!

A man and three boys remain in custody following the near-fatal beating of a St. Paul man who came across a large, gang-related brawl as he walked home, police say.
Ray Widstrand, 26, was hospitalized in critical condition with potentially fatal brain swelling.
Witnesses told police Widstrand was attacked for no reason, and his family members were baffled by the news. Speaking to FOX 9 News, family members said the last few days have felt like a bad dream.
"He's a very compassionate and caring person," said his father, Peter, "and those who are lucky enough to know him know just how smart and caring and witty he can be."
Widstrand's family told FOX 9 he had moved into his own apartment near Minnehaha and Preble in the Dayton's Bluff neighborhood a couple of months ago. He loved his job as a master control operator for a public access channel in White Bear Lake.
"He was my big brother. We are so close. There [are] really no words to describe it. Still in shock," said his sister Alice.
Police say Widstrand was walking home last Sunday night when he came across 30 to 40 young gang members fighting in the street. When he tried to walk through the crowd, he was knocked to the ground, hit and stomped on. Police say someone even took off his pants and went through his pockets before leaving him unconscious and bleeding. All this took place just a block away from the Eastern District Police Headquarters.
"I was at lunch and someone came and said I had a call from police. I couldn't believe it." recalled Widstrand's mother, Linda. "They asked was I Ray's mother? Then, they told me he'd been in accident or something. I couldn't believe it."
Since the beating, Widstrand has undergone two surgeries to relieve swelling in his brain, but he remains in a medically-induced coma at Regions Hospital. Doctors say even if he survives, he'll most likely have permanent brain damage.
"I don't understand why anyone would do that to another person. They'll have to answer that question," Peter Widstrand said.
Family members hope the four people arrested by police may be able to provide some answers. At this point, one man and three teenagers are in custody, but investigators say more arrests could be on the way.
Meanwhile, Widstrand's family hopes he'll make a full recovery and they say he gets better with every day that goes by.
"Its hard to see anyone in that position but to see a sibling. There's really no words to describe that feeling," Alice said. "He's loved by his friends, loved by his co-workers -- everyone who knew him. He could bring a smile to your face."
Police charged Isaac Maiden with assault and aggravated robbery. They say all the arrestees are members of the East Side Boys or their younger off-shoot, the Ham Crazy Gangs.

The World Trade Organization (WTO) has rejected much of Airbus's July 2010 appeal against its ruling that the European airframer has unfairly benefitted from subsidies, but its May 18 judgment still leaves plenty of scope for the protagonists to argue over how it gets interpreted.
AIN Air Transport Perspective » May 23, 2011
Both Airbus and the French BEA (Bureau d'Enquêtes et d'Analyses) have denied reaching any conclusions about the June 1, 2009, crash of Air France Flight 447, following reports in the French media that Airbus advised its customers that investigators had found no technical faults with the accident aircraft, an A330-200 that crashed into the South Atlantic on June 1, 2009, implying human error.
Despite the well documented complications arising out of the Boeing 787's "more electric" architecture, French engine and equipment manufacturer Safran earlier this month restated that electric systems will replace hydraulics and bleed air in future aircraft at an accelerated rate.
Airline passenger traffic continues its climb out from recessionary lows, but faces headwinds caused by spiraling fuel prices.
Not so long ago, the ascent of composites in aerostructures manufacturing seemed an unstoppable progression that could only happen at the expense of metals. Fresh thinking at progressive companies like GKN Aerospace is changing that thinking, with engineers increasingly coming to the conclusion that the two families of materials can coexist in cooperative harmony to give manufacturers the best of both worlds.

Ekamai Thai Curry and Bruges Waffles & Frites — both located in the redeveloping 300 South and 300 West block near Pioneer Park — are likely two of Salt Lake City's smallest restaurants.
But from these small beginnings have come bigger things. Both restaurants recently opened larger, second locations in Sugar House, allowing a new set of neighborhood diners to try these culturally diverse cuisines.
Ekamai Thai Curry • Located just north of Sugar House Park in a renovated bungalow, you'll find all the tastes that you love from the original here in a more traditional restaurant space. There's a broader menu as well as a well-paired wine and beer list.
Inside the old house, a fire burns, metal tables gleam, and many of the favorite dishes from the downtown location are still served at nearly the same quick pace.
I'm thrilled that my favorite soup, the Tom kha kai ($5 small, $11 large), is available anytime instead of just as a Thursday special, as it is downtown. Warm and comforting, this coconut chicken soup with lemongrass, lime leaf, mushrooms, tomato and roasted chile is a perfect combination of sweet and spicy. Fruity notes of lemongrass and lime leaf hit the palate at just the right intervals, while the chicken is juicy and generous and the mushrooms meaty.
The chicken drunken noodle is another downtown stand-by that's always available at the Sugar House restaurant ($12, choices also include beef, pork or tofu for $12, or seafood for $15). These flat rice noodles are a filling base to the egg and chile oil-infused vegetables. The portions are always generous, making for fine leftovers.
Traditional curries are also on the new menu. The nice kick in the yellow curry chicken ($12) offsets the potatoes and carrots, while less flavorful was the Massamun curry beef ($16).
Several new dishes make an appearance at the Sugar House space. A fried tofu salad ($8) with crisp greens and raw vegetables are dressed with a kicky house dressing. The stir-fried garlic-and0black pepper entrée with a choice of chicken, beef, pork, tofu ($12) or seafood ($15) celebrates these two simple flavors alongside steamed carrots, broccoli and mushrooms. I ordered the beef, which soaked up the star flavors, making for a juicy dish. The entree is served with either brown or white rice.
Many of Ekamai's offerings can be made vegetarian or vegan upon request, and those choices are clearly noted on the menu.
As always, the mango sticky rice ($5.49) or toasted coconut sticky rice ($6), each with just the right amount of sweetness, is a delicious end to dinner.
Bruges Waffles & Frites • To find the new Bruges, travel to 2300 South and Highland Drive. This location offers the same Belgian specialties as the original downtown store — including sausages, frites (fries) and waffles — but with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. There's also a Manneken Pis fountain — that is, peeing boy — celebrating owner Pierre Vandamme's home of Brussels, Belgium.
The menu isn't large, but what is offered is executed well. Liege waffles are the reason most people visit Bruges. The batter includes the coarse-grained pearl sugar more common in Scandinavian dishes, and is cooked in a hot iron to produce the crunchy, sweet exterior without all the interior fluffiness of a typical American waffle. Build your own waffle treat ($3.50) and add toppings such as crème fraiche ($1.25) or fruit ($1-$3). Or try one of the two pre-designed specials: the torpedo waffle ($5.50), stuffed with bars of Belgian chocolate; and the amazing waffle monster ($9) with fresh strawberries, vanilla bean ice cream and speculoos (cookie butter) spread.
Sausages are the primary savory choice, and come in a few varieties including the freakandel, a mixture of chicken, pork and beef, or the merguez (lamb) sausage on the machine gun sandwich ($9.25).
About that machine gun sandwich: It's the restaurant's most popular, and starts with a fresh baguette stuffed with two herby lamb sausages covered with frites and Andalouse sauce, made with red bell pepper and cayenne pepper. The sauce offers just enough kick to complement the fries, while not overpowering the sausages. It's messy, though: I wasn't able to handle this sandwich with my hands alone, so I resorted to using a fork and knife.
In addition to the Andalouse, there are 10 other house-made mayos for dipping. Choose from plain mayonnaise, aioli, greens, lemon pepper dill, Zensation, Brasil, fry sauce, curry, zango or samurai. There's a handy menu explaining all of your options on the cooler where you pick them up.
Through April, try the seasonal Flemish Stew ($6 or $9.89 with frites), featuring beer-braised beef and nicely caramelized onions. A hearty dish, the flavor of dark Belgium ale really stands out, which makes it unfortunate that you can't order one with your meal.
The crispy frites can be ordered a la carte in three sizes (small $3.24, medium $5.33 and large $8.34) or added to any entrée for a few dollars more. Each order comes with one complimentary mayo (large size with two) or you can purchase extras for 65 cents each.

Watch out for swine flu scams
E-mail cons spreading faster than the virus.
This post comes from partner site ConsumerAffairs.com.
It didn't take scammers long to latch on to the latest hot-button topic to try to make a quick buck. Scams built on fears of swine flu are proliferating quickly across the Internet.
The U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team issued an alert this week warning of a number of e-mail scams related to the swine flu. The attacks arrive via an unsolicited e-mail message typically containing a subject line related to the swine flu.
"These e-mail messages may contain a link or an attachment. If users click on this link or open the attachment, they may be directed to a phishing Web site or exposed to malicious code," the alert said.
US-CERT encourages users to take the following measures to protect themselves:
- Filter spam.
- Don't trust unsolicited e-mail.
- Treat e-mail attachments with caution.
- Don't click links in e-mail messages.
- Install antivirus software and keep it up-to-date.
- Install a personal firewall and keep it up-to-date.
- Configure your e-mail client for security.
To stay informed about swine flu, US-CERT says you should rely on trusted sources of information, such as the U.S. Centers for Disease Control.
Also, be highly skeptical of unknown Web sites with the words "swine flu" in the domain name. Online security firm F-Secure reports that dozens of new swine flu domain names were registered in the last few days. F-Secure said some of these sites are already offering ways to "protect your family from this crazy flu."

Birch Bay Visitors Center
Published on Wed, Jan 8, 2014 by
Dave Hiller, Birch Bay Chamber of Commerce board of directors president
Read More
The Visitor Information Center (VIC) on Birch Bay Drive has the most amazing view of Birch Bay. At any time of day, but particularly during sunsets, the vistas are beyond imagination. The small building is located on the waterfront of Birch Bay Drive. There is a large window and an area map. The bay, birdlife and islands beyond are visible for anyone stopping by to get information about the area and take a rest from their walk or bike ride. There are many area brochures regarding businesses and places of interest as well as maps.
This past summer, the VIC received up to 40 visitor groups signing in on some days – visitors from New Zealand, Europe, China and elsewhere not to mention many various states and provinces around the U.S. and Canada.
Fifteen very dedicated volunteers put in amazing hours to keep the VIC open for up to 12 hours a day this summer. The VIC was headed up by Joyce Dippold and Jean Shea, both of whom have served tirelessly in several capacities to keep the VIC open and functioning with a wide variety of duties.
Keeping this important service open to the public is of vital interest to our community. Membership dues from the Birch Bay Chamber of Commerce keep this service open. Coming up in 2014 we have plans to expand some of the winter hours as well as keep the summer hours in place.
The Birch Bay Chamber of Commerce expresses gratitude for the many hours put in by its VIC volunteers in 2013.

Comments about Paloma Picasso Tentations Perfume:
I use this product every day, but I am running out and need to find it. Nothing smells more like me when I wear it. It is better than the Paloma Picasso, because it is way too strong. The worst thing to me is whoever is not making it or discontinued it has made a huge mistake. Everybody wants to know what I am wearing when I use it. I have to say, tentations by Paloma Picasso but it is hard to find and I think it must be discontinued. I can not find anything that compares to how the fragrance makes me feel when I wear it.

High-school student Megan Grassell couldn't find cute, age-appropriate bras for her younger sister, so she made her own. Now her company Yellowberry is being held up as a model of innovation, design, and feminists united against the sexualization of girls.
"At first, … it was hard to get people to take me seriously. I was talking to someone the other day who's been a great mentor to me, and he said "Megan, when you first came to me with that bra, and you thought you were ready to go, I thought, 'Who is this high school girl?'"

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- More problems at Target: the big-box retailer says some customers were given gift cards that were not fully activated.Now when people are trying to use them, it's causing a problem at the cash register.
Target isn't explaining what happened, but says it will honor the problematic cards.
Meanwhile, U.S. senators are calling for a congressional hearing on the data breach that affected 40 million debit and credit card numbers. They want the Senate Banking Committee to examine whether companies and banks are doing enough to protect consumers.

Radiation and Cancer Symposium to Honor DCEG's Elaine Ron
On March 9, NCI will sponsor a symposium on research strategies in radiation and cancer. The event will honor the groundbreaking research of the late Dr. Elaine Ron, former branch chief and senior investigator of the Radiation Epidemiology Branch in NCI's Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics (DCEG).
Experts in the field of radiation and cancer epidemiology will discuss strategies for studying thyroid and other cancers caused by radiation exposure, as well as the carcinogenic effects of medical, environmental, occupational, and accidental radiation exposures. Speakers will identify promising new cancer research directions and strategies in radiation epidemiology, and the symposium will include a talk about international research opportunities by Dr. Christopher Wild, director of the International Agency for Research on Cancer.
For more information and to register for free, visit the symposium Web site.
SBIR Phase II Bridge Award Funding Available
NCI's Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program has announced $10 million in funding for up to 10 new awards in FY 2011. The awards are available to small businesses seeking additional funding to support the next stage of development for previously funded NIH-wide SBIR Phase II Bridge Award projects in the areas of cancer therapeutics, imaging technologies, interventional devices, diagnostics, and prognostics.
NCI created the Bridge Award to help small businesses obtain necessary funding to accelerate the commercialization of promising cancer technologies and ultimately improve cancer prevention, detection, and treatment for patients. The Bridge Award funding opportunity is specifically designed to accomplish these goals by incentivizing partnerships between NIH's SBIR Phase II awardees and third-party investors and/or strategic partners.
Information about how to apply for these awards is available online. Applications are due April 7.
President's Cancer Panel Addresses Accelerating Scientific Innovation
The President's Cancer Panel held the fourth and final meeting of its 2010–2011 series, The Future of Cancer Research: Accelerating Scientific Innovation, on February 1 in Atlanta. The meeting included expert testimony and discussion regarding opportunities to facilitate progress within the National Cancer Program (NCP), including opportunities made possible by new models for funding research.
Meeting participants from public and private organizations discussed grant review and funding models designed to support innovative projects. For example, they discussed utilizing an anonymous review process in which reviewers do not know the identity of the applicant, prohibiting the submission of preliminary data with an application, and using a "champion-based" review in which reviewers select one application for funding and make recommendations about other submissions. These approaches differ substantially from traditional review models and are intended to be more streamlined and to encourage applications from early-career investigators.
Speakers also stressed the importance of involving consumers and advocates in the grant-review process to encourage the funding of projects that have a direct, practical impact on the community.
Meeting participants highlighted the need for a national strategy to guide and coordinate the NCP, including analysis of current activities across all sectors to ensure that efforts are not being duplicated and that critical areas are being addressed. They also discussed how to improve coordination and data sharing across sectors of the cancer research community, including the dissemination of negative results and other findings that are not commonly published in mainstream journals.
The Panel will summarize the discussion and recommendations from this meeting, along with the other meetings in the series, in its 2010–2011 annual report to the President of the United States.

Esperanza Court (2005)
Site: SE 28th Avenue and Powell Boulevard
Date of site approval: July 25, 2005
Acreage: .48
Zoning: Catholic Charities
This project became part of the Portland Brownfields Program out of the due diligence taken by a prospective purchaser, Catholic Charities. Because of previous regulatory involvement on the site related to an underground storage tank, Phase I investigation was warranted to ensure additional environmental concerns were not present. The Phase I identified several Recognized Environmental Concerns including fill material, an incinerator, and suspect USTs. Results of the subsequent Phase II assessment showed issues relating to methane, heavy metals, and petroleum. These did not present an immediate threat to human health or the environment, but needed to be addressed to Oregon Department of Environmental Quality satisfaction at the time of site redevelopment.
Catholic Charities purchased the site in November 2006. At the time of redevelopment, they conducted remediation including soil removal and construction of a vapor barrier and venting system. Redevelopment has transformed the site into a multi-unit affordable housing complex for families, with office and retail space along Powell Boulevard.

Zero Dark Thirty
What's it about?
This geezer named Osama Bin Laden who, having done a very bad thing, went to ground for 10 years before being finally tracked down by the CIA. Kathryn Bigelow's follow-up to The Hurt Locker shows us how they did it.
Why's it nominated?
Because it is a stunning dramatisation of recent history that taps into the same fascination we have with counterintelligence as TV smash Homeland. The movie - up for five prizes - recreates the raid on Osama's lair in nerve-shedding real time.
What are its chances?
Charges of political bias and factual inaccuracy might have cost Bigelow the best director nomination she surely deserved and will probably prevent her movie challenging Lincoln for the best picture prize. As its dogged heroine Maya, though, Jessica Chastain delivers a commanding enough performance to steal the best actress award from Jennifer Lawrence, the current bookies' favourite.

Ramsar Small Grants Fund allocations for 1997
[Nearly 90 completed SGF project proposals were submitted to the Bureau before the deadline and reviewed by Bureau staff, members of the STRP, and partner experts, and at the 20th meeting of the Standing Committee just completed, 29 of them were approved for funding assistance, for a total of SFR 1,104,840 [approx.

Join 500,000+ Artists
Its' free and it takes less than 10 seconds!
(it's all over now, baby blue)
Fellow Citizens of CA.org,
I'm pleased to announce the new Belgium Miniworkshop!
following up on the Ghent miniworkshop last year (of which you can see some pictures and drawings )
only this time, place to be will be Brussels.. new sights to see, more room to stay
the drill:
Brussels, Belgium
August 5th (evening) till august 7th
yes, it's a weekend. yes, it's a rather short time. yes, you're welcome to stay a bit longer if that suits your traveling plans better.
now, the good news for happy people: we'll be housing all participants (unless you'd rather stay at a b&b :p ) ourselves, so this weekend will be CHEAP!
the idea is that we combine all costs for food, drinks, model fees and tickets to sights, and then split that evenly. We did it like this last year, and ended up with a 27euro/person bill.. how cool is that huh?
what's on the program?
I like to make this weekend an as-action-packed-one-as-possible. Meaning drawing drawing drawing, and maybe some painting or whatever you like. There'll be model drawing for sure, probably 6 to 8 hours worth. We can have mini thunderdome sessions and whatever fun&games you can think of.
now, I'd like to hear from you what kind of activities, next to lifedrawing, you'd like to do, so please shout here!
to give some ideas: there's architectural sights worth sketching, art museums from all era's worth seeing, nature/historic museum (think dino's.. belgium has worldwide fame when it comes to digging up dino's), military stuff, and the more typical tourist attractions of course.
I need people who are interested in joining up for this, to drop a line right in this thread, so please reply with a "hell yea count me in", "definitely maybe yea", "maybe, but it depends on..." or "i can't, but thanks for asking "
i'll be posting updates here as soon as this plan comes together in a more solid kinda way.
in the mean time, ask away!

about the sleeping places: if you can, please bring some stuff like fieldbed, airmatrass or bag of hay and a sleeping bag.. we have enough room in the house (even a nice cellar for you vampires out there) but not a lot of extra beds. the private spare room is taken by the dynamic B+G duo, and i'll keep the extra bed for Slash, as he's flying in and i wanna spare him the extra weight to carry.
i'll update the list of participants in the first post as we go btw
I'll (hopefully!!) be driving there with demian that friday after i got my license!!
Anyway, see you guys there!

Anyways, have fun guys!

Since I have got semester break now, anyway (and I definitely need a break from computer science, now) I am probably in again.
Anybody interested in a car pool? (I am from Lohr, Germany)
I don't own a drivers license myself, but if anyone could pick me up in Mönchenggladbach or somewhere close, i'd rather give them the money than the german railway bastards (tm).

I just got paid for my first commission. And that alone is enough to pay for the plane tickets. So im transferring money to my father tomorrow, using his visa to buy the tickets. (can you believe it, the bank didnt wanna give me a visa card. )
So yeah, im there darlings! And i might be staying there till the 8th.
Looking forward to meeting you all!
//edit: If i could use one of your airbeds i would be most grateful geertje. That would save me alot of trouble and a bad back.

In short, there are loads of modern art and artists museums/exhibitions. There are many modern architecture exhibitions. Theres the war museum, theres a couple of exhibitions about art nouveau style and by the goverment of celebration of belgium as a country, theres an exhibition overload from the romance period.
There's an old cityport from 1381 open for visitors, filled with architecture and weaponary. Only on appointment, so if we want to go we need to call in advance. http://www.kmkg-mrah.be/images/image.../exterieur.jpg
