US-led military drill begins in western Ukraine
Press TV – September 15, 2014
A US-led military maneuver has begun in western Ukraine, amid continued fighting between government troops and pro-Russian forces in the country's east.
The military drill, dubbed "Rapid Trident 14," started early Monday near Ukraine's border with Poland and involves 1,300 troops from over a dozen countries.
According to the US army, the troops come from 12 NATO members, including Germany, the UK, Poland, Norway and Canada, as well as non-members Azerbaijan, Georgia and Moldova.
The eleven-day drills will take place near the western city of Yavoriv and will not involve the live firing of weapons.
The US Defense Ministry said the exercise will increase interoperability among Ukraine and the participating nations.
Ukrainian Defense Minister Valeriy Heletey earlier announced that NATO member states have begun supplying weapons to the country's forces despite a truce between Ukrainian troops and pro-Russians.
Meanwhile, heavy fighting between government troops and pro-Russian forces continues around the eastern city of Donetsk. According to Donetsk city hall officials, six civilians were killed on Sunday in heavy shelling around the city and its airport.
Kiev accused pro-Russians of threatening the truce by intensifying attacks against government positions. This is while, on September 13, the pro-Russia forces defending a checkpoint near the village of Olenivka, south of Donetsk accused the Ukrainian army of violating the truce.
The ceasefire agreement was reached between Kiev and the pro-Russians on September 5, after Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko hammered out a compromise deal aimed at ending the heavy fighting.
Who is hit hardest by Russia's trade ban?
RT | August 8, 2014
Germany and Poland will lose the most trade with Russia, and neighboring Finland and Baltic states Lithuania and Latvia will lose a bigger proportion of their GDP. Norway will see fish sales to Russia disappear, and US damages would be very limited.
Russia has banned imports of fruit, vegetables, meat, fish and dairy products from the 28 countries of the EU, the US, Canada, Norway, and Australia for one year.
EU trade is heavily dependent on Russian food imports. Last year Russia bought $16 billion worth of food from the bloc, or about 10 percent of total exports, according to Eurostat.
In terms of losses, Germany, Poland and the Netherlands- the top three EU food suppliers to Russia in 2013 – will be hit hardest. Food for Russia makes up around 3.3 percent of total German exports.
French Agriculture Minister Stephane Le Foll said his government is already working together with Germany and Poland to reach a coordinated policy on the new Russian sanction regime.
Last year, Ireland exported €4.5 million worth of cheese to Russia, and not being able to do so this year is a big worry, Simon Coveney, the country's agriculture minister, said.
Farmers across Europe could face big losses if they aren't able to find alternative markets for their goods, especially fruit and vegetables.
Some are already demanding their governments provide compensation for lost revenue.
"If there isn't a sufficient market, prices will go down, and we don't know if we can cover the costs of production, because it is so expensive," Jose Emilio Bofi, an orange farmer in Spain, told RT.
Norway may ban non-medical circumcision of boys
RT | November 13, 2013
Norway's Health Ministry is considering a proposal on regulating the circumcision of boys. Some political parties are calling on a complete ban of the practice on minors, a possibility that would affect Jewish and Muslim communities.
Two years ago, the ministry was tasked with reviewing circumcision and how it should be practiced in Norway. It is yet to finalize its stance, but intends to submit its legislative proposal before Easter next year, Health Minister Bent Hoie told Aftenposten, Norway's largest newspaper.
The issue was brought to public attention after the recent call by Norway Children's Ombudswoman Anne Lindboe to ban circumcision of boys before age 16, unless the procedure is warranted by medical needs.
"This is not due to any lack of understanding of minorities or religious traditions, but because the procedure is irreversible, painful and risky," she argued.
Lindboe's position is shared by some members of the Labor Party, which currently holds the largest share of 55 seats in Norway's 169-strong legislative and is in opposition to the ruling Conservative-Progress coalition.
"As a modern society, we should work to eliminate practices that expose children and people to unnecessary suffering," said Labor's Ruth Mari Grung, who is a member of the parliamentary Committee on Health and Care Services.
A ban is also supported by the Center Party, which has 10 seats in the parliament.
Other parliamentary parties are yet to formulate their official position on the issue. Hoie, a Conservative member, who used to chair the Health Committee before getting his ministerial appointment, voiced concerns that a ban would force the groups practicing ritual circumcision underground, where the procedure would be performed by non-medics and pose greater health risks to the children.
The Norwegian lawmakers also disagree on whether circumcision should be covered by the budget under the national healthcare system. Some parties insist that ritual circumcision should be paid for by parents.
According to the newspaper, an average of about 2,000 Muslim and seven Jewish newborns are circumcised in Norway each year.
Regulation of ritual circumcision in Europe made the headlines in June, when a German court ruled that the procedure constitutes a minor bodily harm and outlawed performing it on minors. The decision sparked nationwide debate on the conflict between religious freedoms and protection of children.
The issue was further stressed in early October, when the Council of Europe branded the practice "a violation of the physical integrity of children" and called on EU members to protect children. The latter should include a ban on performing circumcision on those who cannot consent to it, the non-binding resolution said.
Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Iceland and Greenland are among the European countries where public debate on ritual circumcision of boys is hotly debated.

Norway is squeezing Russia out of European gas market
RT | January 17, 2013
Norway, Russia's closest rival in the European gas market, seems to overtaking Russia's Gazprom. Norway boasted record high exports in 2012, while Gazprom suffered the worst numbers in 10 years.
Norway increased its exports 16% in 2012 to reach 107.6bn cubic metres, according to Europe's key statistics office Eurostat. This is "a record level, close to the Russian gas exports to Europe," Michael Korchyomkin, head of East European Gas Analysis, told Kommersant daily.
During the same period, Russia's gas giant Gazprom cut sales to Europe and Turkey by 8%, according to the company's head Aleksey Miller. That's the lowest export level for the last decade, Korchyomkin said.
At the moment Norway is breathing down Russia's neck in its key European market – Germany. In 2011 Gazprom supplied 30bln cubic meters out of the total 80bn cubic meters of gas Germany consumes annually. Norway sold just a bit less – 28bn cubic meters. Norway's Statoil accounts for about 70% of the country's exports and in 2012 signed a 10 year contract to supply gas to Germany's Wintershall.
Norway's lower gas prices are another tool to win customers. The country's Petroleum Ministry is suggesting charges for gas transportation in new contracts should be significantly cut, according to Reuters citing Norwegian Petroleum Minister Ola Borten Moe.The exact price cut remains unclear, with Kommersant daily assessing it at 7%.
Competitive pricing has become a crucial issue at a time when crisis – stricken Europe can't afford huge bills.
On Thursday Gazprom 9M 2012 IFRS results showed things are not that rosy for Russia's' gas monopoly. The company's profit for the period was down 12% year on year to $27.1bn, with the net sales of gas decreasing by 8% year on year, to about $61.4bn.
Net sales exclude the amounts paid by the company in form of value added tax and customs duties.
Earlier in the week Fitch rating agency predicted a further fall of sales for Gazprom in 2013, referring to weak economic conditions and slack demand.

Colombia and FARC ready for peace talks with support from Cuba and Norway
NNN-MERCOPRESS | August 28, 2012
BOGOTA – Colombia's government will soon begin talks that could lead to formal negotiations for peace with the country's biggest guerrilla group, known as the FARC, according to a Colombian intelligence source.
As part of the deal to hold talks, the government has agreed that leaders of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia would not be extradited to another country to stand trial, he said.
One aide at President Juan Manuel Santos' office has flatly denied that any talks are taking place, but a second aide said only that any official word on peace dealings would come from Santos himself.
Details of the accord are still being worked out, but the negotiations could take place in Cuba and in Norway, the source said.
However from Caracas the editor in chief of Telesur, the Venezuelan television news channel, Jorge Botero said that secret talks date back to May in Havana with the attendance of unofficial delegates from Colombia, plus representatives from Venezuela, Cuba and Norway.
"Formal dialogue is anticipated for next October in Oslo", said Botero. He added that from Norway representatives from the Colombian government and FARC will then travel to Havana where "they will sit to negotiate and won't leave the table until a peace deal is reached".
A year ago the head of FARC Alfonso Cano announced that the guerrilla was ready for talks to end the half a century Colombian internal war.
News of the peace talks is likely to anger Santos' predecessor Alvaro Uribe who has criticised any idea of talks with the rebels and has slammed Santos for wanting "peace at any cost."
The originally Marxist oriented FARC but now financed by drugs and which calls itself "the people's army" defending peasant rights, has battled about a dozen administrations since surfacing in 1964, when its founder Manuel Marulanda and 48 rebels took to jungle hide-outs triggering an internal conflict involving Colombian forces and thousands of recruited guerrillas.
The group has faced its toughest defeats in recent years as US-trained special forces use sophisticated technology and spy networks to track the leaders.
The FARC string of defeats began in 2008 with a cross-border military raid into Ecuador that killed Raul Reyes its second in command. Marulanda died of a heart attack weeks later and was replaced by Alfonso Cano, who was later killed too.

What do Breivik and Netanyahu have in common?
By Alan Hart | April 19, 2012
Let's start with a glance at what they do not have in common. The man now on trial for killing 77 people in bomb and gun attacks in Norway last July has admitted, even boasted about, what he did. Netanyahu denies Zionism's crimes.
The main thing they have in common stems from the fact that they both live in fantasy worlds of their own creation and talk a lot of extreme rightwing nonsense.
The nonsense Anders Breivik speaks is driven in general by his fears about the consequences for Norway of immigration and multiculturalism and, in particular, by his vision of an Islamic takeover. The nonsense Netanyahu speaks is driven by his perception of Israel in danger of
As he tells and sells it, the current biggest threat to Israel's existence is, of course, Iran. Arguably the single most ridiculous statement he has made to date on this subject was in 2006 when, as the chairman of Likud, he addressed a gathering of Jewish American organizations. He said then, "It's 1938 and Iran is Germany."
So what Breivik and Netanyahu have in common is, it seems to me, the mania of victimhood.
That's a condition which Yehoshafat Harkabi, Israel's longest serving Director of Military Intelligence, warned about in his book Israel's Fateful Hour. After confirming a Zionist offer to do business with Nazi Germany on terms outlined in a proposed agreement which stated that Zionist forces would "take part in the war on Germany's side," (the full story is in my book), Harkabi wrote this:
"It is doubtful whether the long history of the Jews, full as it is with oddities and cruel ironies, has ever known such an attempt to make a deal with rabid enemies – of course, ostensibly for reasons of higher political wisdom… Perhaps, for peace of mind, we ought to see this affair as an aberrant episode in Jewish history. Nevertheless, it should alert us to how far extremists may go in times of distress, and where their manias may lead."
We know where Breivik's mania led him.
We can only speculate about where Netanyahu's mania will lead his Israel. On present course its final destination seems to be disaster. The question is, will it be disaster only for the Zionist enterprise or disaster for the region and possibly the whole world?
A generally accepted definition of mania (there are others) is "mental illness marked by periods of great excitement, euphoria, delusions and over activity."

3-D Gives Battle for Terra Its Fighting Spirit
- Friday, May 01, 2009
Despite that definite clash of theology and underlying spiritual beliefs, Battle for Terra is still an engaging tale that provides an intriguing change of pace for sci-fi fans. And in 3-D, Terra positively sparkles, thanks to eye-popping visuals and imaginative set-ups.
- Drugs/Alcohol: None.
- Language/Profanity: One instance of the Lord's name being taken in vain and one exclamation of dam---!
- Sex/Nudity: None.
- Violence: There are several battle scenes that include explosions, gunfire and hand-to-hand combat, and a few characters, including a couple of the main ones, die. There are also disturbing scenes where the Terrans begin to suffocate after humans turn on a spider-like machine. At one point, Mala is also taken hostage, and her life is threatened for show (although she's unaware of that at the time).

The greater good
Former New York financier now helps Georgians escape poverty
Greg Skowronski's vacation to Tanzania in 2007 included a safari and climbing Mt. Kilamanjaro. Along the way, it turned into a much deeper experience, one that would change the course of his career.
"The unanticipated part of the trip was the firsthand experience with poverty," says Skowronski (BBA '99). "It just became very real to me."
After seven years of investment banking on Wall Street he had recently returned to his hometown of Atlanta and taken a job in finance for an Atlanta real estate company. Following the Tanzania trip, his plans changed.
He began looking for an opportunity to help the African people improve their situation. He began learning about microfinance, small loans to help people start or grow a business.
"I saw how microfinance was being used to improve poverty," he says. "It was a light bulb moment. Someone with a business background could help alleviate poverty. I always thought it had to be a doctor or a teacher."
He found an organization launching a pilot program that partnered with churches in South Africa to teach business skills to the local people. In 2009, he went to South Africa to head the organization's microcredit division.
"It was amazing," he says, "to live in Johannesburg where you could go from a (nice) restaurant to what they call an informal settlement—what we would call a slum."
For the next two years he visited with local businesses and people living in the informal settlements to talk about small business training. The organization offered a business program to teach the potential entrepreneurs about record keeping, pricing, market research and advertising. Those who participated in the program were eligible for small loans to grow their businesses.
Hairdressing, sewing and "tuck" shops, business that sold dry goods and served as convenience stores, were popular.
The training, Skowronski says, empowered the South Africans to take their businesses to the next level. That helped bridge the cultural divide between the business professionals who volunteered with the program and the entrepreneurs from the settlements.
"It was more of a peer relationship," he says.
After two years, the program was running well and local volunteers had been trained to teach the business practices. Skowronski weighed the idea of staying in Africa but decided to return to the U.S. to look at the underlying causes of poverty and ways to make systemic changes.
Upon his return to Atlanta he found work at Habitat for Humanity International, managing the organization's Flexible Capital Access Program. Through FlexCAP, banks, insurance companies and foundations make loans to Habitat so that the organization can build affordable homes at a faster rate. FlexCAP loans are repaid with the mortgages from previously sold Habitat houses. With a foreclosure rate of less than 2 percent, Habitat is a better investment for banks than the general market.
"We have a 100 percent on time repayment rate to investors," Skowronski says.
He says he doesn't miss Wall Street. "For me this is the perfect blend," Skowronski says. "Dealing with Wall Street banks but doing it for a social purpose."

Twisted laser vortex breakthrough could lead to near-infinite bandwidth, new science September 24, 2013 at 11:16 am
Scientists at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) have devised a new way of creating twisted laser beams — optical vortexes — for carrying vast, near-infinite amounts of data down optical fiber, discovering exoplanets, and more. SLAC's optical vortex technology is much more advanced than previous attempts at creating and transmitting twisted light, allowing for shorter pulses, higher intensities, and much wider wavelengths — including X-rays.
Twisted laser vortexes carry 1.6 terabits per second over fiber optic network June 28, 2013 at 1:21 pm
The team of researchers that produced infinite-capacity wireless vortex beams has deployed the same technology in optical fibers, using twisted laser beams to transfer data at 1.6 terabits per second over 1.1 kilometers (0.68 miles).
Infinite-capacity wireless vortex beams carry 2.5 terabits per second June 25, 2012 at 7:41 am
As far as we can discern, this is the fastest wireless network ever created — by some margin. This technique is likely to be used in the next few years to vastly increase the throughput of both wireless and fiber-optic networks.

FA Gets QC To Look At Fifa 'Bribe Claims'
Video: FA Gets QC To Look At Fifa ClaimsEnlarge
The Football Association has commissioned an independent review by a leading barrister of claims of misconduct by four Fifa members during England's 2018 World Cup bid campaign.
James Dingemans QC will examine the evidence and speak to Lord Triesman, who made the allegations under Parliamentary privilege on Tuesday.
Mr Dingemans will try to speak to anyone who was present on the occasions referred to by Lord Triesman and he will report back to the FA and Fifa by Friday, May 27. The findings will be made public.
FA chairman David Bernstein said: "It is essential that we determine as soon as possible the weight of evidence behind these serious allegations.
"If Lord Triesman's allegations can't be supported I suppose they will die a death because unsupported allegations will not take anyone very far. If the allegations are to stick with Fifa they need to be supported."
Mr Dingemans has powerful legal credentials - he was senior counsel to the Hutton Inquiry into the depth of former UN weapons inspector David Kelly in 2003 and is a deputy High Court judge. He is also a member of the Rugby Football League's advisory panel.
One Triesman allegation was that Fifa vice-president Jack Warner asked for money to pay for an education centre in Trinidad.
Premier League chairman Sir Dave Richards has confirmed the claim and is expected to be interviewed by Mr Dingemans.
Bid officials and a translator may have been present when, as Lord Triesman alleged, Paraguay's Fifa member Nicolas Leoz asked for a knighthood - and they may also be able asked to provide corroboration.
Thailand's Worawi Makudi demanded television rights to an England friendly with the Thai national team, while Brazil's Ricardo Terra Teixeira said "you come and tell me what you have for me", Lord Triesman alleged.
The FA is to decide who to back in the Fifa presidency before the report is due, however, at a board meeting on May 19.
Mr Bernstein said there were three options: to vote for current incumbent Sepp Blatter, his rival Mohamed Bin Hammam or to abstain from voting.
The FA will make their decision public, confirmed Mr Bernstein, and an abstention looks increasingly likely, but he insisted he would follow the overall wishes of board members.
A number of senior FA figures are deeply unhappy with Mr Blatter because of the humiliation of England's failed 2018 bid, and Mr Bernstein admitted he did not "think it would go down very well" with the public if the FA board decided to vote for the 75-year-old.
But Mr Bin Hammam's candidacy has also been tarnished by claims separate to Triesman's, which alleged that Fifa members Issa Hayatou and Jacques Anouma were paid £900,000 to vote for the Qatar 2022 bid. They deny the claims.
Mr Bernstein added: "We will look at the recent events and take that on board. There are two candidates and three possible decisions, the other being that we will abstain.
"Lord Triesman has not made accusations directly about the two people and there is no evidence to suggest they are not clean."
Mr Bernstein said he was in favour of more openness in Fifa.
"The key thing is openness in process, in financial information, in the election procedures," Mr Bernstein said.
"Fifa is a very closed organisation and a lot goes on behind closed doors."

Tourism in Mammoth was off the charts, but that didn't necessarily translate into booming business, say the town's business people.
"I don't know that we've seen the bottom," said Dawn Vereuck of Elegant Bath & Kitchen. "There's still a sense of fear."
Tony Colasardo of Footloose Sports sensed largely the same thing.
"People are just a little more cautious" he said. They're watching their pennies."
Mammoth Lakes Police Chief Dan Watson got his back up this week when he learned an Orange County man had dropped off a document to the Mammoth Times claiming the town has deliberately set up "Seat Belt Traps."
"A law enforcement official parks his police car facing the stop sign waiting for a tourist coming from the L.A. area," wrote Barry H. Buckser, of Lake Forest.
Mammoth Mountain Ski Area made a big push to land a spot at May's Amgen Tour of California, but was outpaced by the Tahoe resorts. The cyclists will start at South Lake to Tahoe-Northstar, North Lake to Squaw Valley, then into the central valley, finishing in Thousand Oaks after eight stages. We is bummed but appreciate the effort put in by MMSA. ...
The Mammoth and Mono Lake Ranger Districts of the Inyo National Forest and the North Zone for the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) - Bishop Field Office are planning to implement several prescribed fire projects for habitat improvement and hazardous fuels reduction in the upcoming fall and winter months, the forest service announced this week.
Smoke may be visible at times from Highways 395, 120 and 203 as well as from the communities of Mono City, Lee Vining, June Lake, Mammoth Lakes and Topaz.
The Mammoth Ambassador Program is designed to improve the level of hospitality toward visitors to Mammoth.
It offers a community-wide hospitality training program consisting of one six-hour day presented in two modules: Spirit of Hospitality and Host training for the town. Spirit of Hospitality focuses on the culture of guest service, the kind of "active friendliness" that differentiates the best resorts in the United States from the rest.
There are some people living in Lee Vining and June Lake who need assistance. This food often supplements the government food program and is distributed in Food Baskets for Thanksgiving and Easter. Non-perishable food containers are in the Lee Vining and June Lake post offices.

When the Mammoth Lakes Town Council finally adjourned Wednesday night, practically everybody in the council chambers snapped to their cellphones or wristwatches to just see how long the meeting had lasted.
"I make it 14 minutes," said an astonished Police Chief Dan Watson.
Fourteen *minutes?*
This, from a deliberative body that is notorious for dragging things well into the night.
In fact, if there is a single expression that characterizes a Mammoth Town Council meeting, it's the 9:30 p.m. yawn.
A longtime Mammoth Lakes daycare provider was arrested the evening of Oct. 5 on suspicion of sexual abuse against two children, now adults, who were once in his care, according to local law enforcement officials.
Guadalupe "Lupe" Almaguer, 56, was arrested on the evening of Oct. 5 for crimes of sexual abuse against minors, according to Mono County District Attorney Chief Investigator Wade McCammond.
Almaguer was booked on five counts of Penal Code 288, or "Lewd and Lascivious Acts with a Child under 14."
Mammoth and Mono County residents awoke Wednesday morning to the first real snow of the year on the ground.
About an inch of wet snow covered the lower reaches of the county all the way down to the county line on the Sherwin Grade with far more above the 10,000 foot line, and local weatherman Howard Sheckter said it isn't over yet.
A 24-year-old Mammoth Lakes resident was booked on charges of attempted murder Tuesday, after a wild, confusing episode in the town's "Ghetto" neighborhood.
Jonathon Anderson also was charged with felony domestic violence, parole violation, resisting arrest and destroying a cell phone when used to make an emergency call.
Anderson, who was pulled from under the victim's bed during the arrest, is behing held without bail at the Mono County Jail in Bridgeport.
Gloppy weather continued in Mammoth on Tuesday, but in mid-afternoon, bright stabs of sunshine burst through the rain- and snow-sodden skies.
Despite the afternoon sun, the National Weather Service wasn't buying it.
For the rest of the afternoon and early evening, forecasters at the weather service predicted more snow. Some thunder is also possible. High near 38. Northeast wind around 10 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90%. Total daytime snow accumulation of 1 to 2 inches possible.
UPDATED 3 p.m. Monday. The "Granite Curtain" descended in the High Sierra Monday, when snow, wind and general "inclement weather" forced Caltrans to close both Tioga Pass (S.R. 120) and Sonora Pass (S.R. 108).
Forecasters predicted four to eight 4 to 8 inches of snow are possible in the Sierra above 8,500 feet through Tuesday morning.
Snow levels near 11,000 feet will drop to near 9,000 feet later today and fall near 8,000 feet late tonight.
Snow may affect the higher passes along U.S. 395 tonight in Mono county but accumulations are unlikely to occur.
There might be worse places to crash a paraglider, but it's hard to imagine.
A 37-year-old Santa Cruz man on Monday evening went down two miles west of the White Mountain Research Station's Barcroft Laboratory near Barcroft Peak, breaking his back and lying in the darkness – helpless in steep, rocky, unforgiving terrain.
"Fortunately he didn't land in a rock ditch or in a cliff band or truly challenging terrain," said Jeff Holmquist, a member of the rescue team.
"We caught a huge break because of that, and obviously, so did he."
If there's one thing that gets the goat of Crowley Lakers, it's when a bear gets their goat.
About a dozen people showed up at Wednesday's meeting of the Long Valley Regional Planning Advisory Committee to hear Steve Searles' take on a bear assault on a pygmy goat on July 31.
For Crowley Lake residents, who usually don't have to deal with bears, the mauling of the goat was a strange and gruesome event, and Searles acknowledged that the bear had "crossed the line."
He said if he had been there, and if he had jurisdictional authority (he doesn't), "I'd have shot the bear."
Maybe Dave McCoy didn't know what he was getting into when he signed up for a Facebook account. Within days, Dave had 550 friends, forcing him and his assistant, Brandon Russell, to do some serious gardening to his account. ...
A proposal Wednesday to amend the troubled Eastern Sierra Unified School District's superintendent's employment contract met with resistance from two board members, but passed on a 3-2 vote.
The amendment was created to settle a "dispute" that arose when at least one member of the school board, Doug Northington, said he was concerned about how Superintendent Don Clark's vacation days were being paid out to Clark.
Mammoth Mountain Ski Area on Wednesday announced winter air schedules and fares, including the new flight to and from San Francisco International.
The flights, to and from San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Jose and Portland, begin Dec. 16, according to a news release Tuesday from Mammoth Mountain Ski Area.
United Airlines will offer nonstop service from San Francisco International to Mammoth Yosemite Airport. Flights will be operated by United Express carrier SkyWest Airlines, using 66-seat CRJ700 regional jets. Flights start at $188 round-trip.
Mammoth's merchants, hoteliers and restaurateurs may have varying opinions on the success of their summers, but the town government is calling Summer 2010 a winner.
Judging by the latest Transient Occupancy Tax figures, July 2010 was the biggest July in town history, according to Brad Koehn, the town's finance director.
"It's the best July we've ever had in terms of TOT collections, and this only reflects the monthly remittances," he said. "There are other condo owners who remit quarterly, so this will continue to grow."
From Oct. 4, 2010 through Nov. 7, 2010, Lake Mary Road (3S10) will be temporarily closed to all access from the northern intersection with the Twin Lakes Loop Road (4S22) to the southern intersection with Twin Lakes Loop Road. Access to the Lakes Basin will still be available by either Old Mammoth Road (4S19) or Twin Lakes Loop Road.
Starting in early October mem-bers of the Mammoth Lakes Fire Department and Cal-Fire crews will be doing a large fuel reduction project in the Shady Rest parcel, Chief Brent Harper announced in a press release Tuesday.
This approximately 25-acre parcel is located in the general area south of Center Street and east of Manzanita Drive.

I can remember when Morris dancers were mainly yong men, except for a team of exceptionally nubile young ladies I saw in Exeter.
Of course they will all be somewhat older now.

I used to be a nubile young morris dancer once upon a time but sadly our costumes were not as nice as theirs! I might not have given up if I could have danced in outfits like theirs!
they're rather nubile
better than the ones I usually see at Bradford Beer Festival!
I think in simple answer as far as i can get my head round these answers.... Mr/mrs J Blogg has a digital camera that doesnt cost them anything to "develop", so clicky clicky to the hearts content, Find a "goth/car/animal" whatever fest and they have a "FREE MODEL" that previous to "no digital camera" (as developing was too expensive) there wasnt so many, therefore small masses. the "goths etc" didnt mind.....NOW theres far too many oooh its a model... oooh its a ferrari etc etc CLICK CLICK CLICK!!! just tom impress....nobody!
thats my view, it may be self centred or maybe nothing but from the outside looking in... thats how i read everything and interpret.
Quote: No........... if you can't beat 'em, join 'em!
Ha! I did once. Check my p/f ...
It must have been just before the stampede when that shot was taken. Goth week was relatively relaxed with a good balance between shooters and posers. Things might have got a bit out of hand lately but the usual rules of talent and supremacy always apply in that the committed photographer will produce superior results in almost any situation (wish someone would teach me how!)
It might also be that nowadays a lot more folk think themselves wordly wise and nobody's fool which could be one of the reasons the public gets a bit sour when someone waves a camera about. You're invading their space and, God forbid, interfering with their human rights my dear
Mike, You are not a street photographer pro but are simply having a go.
People need to relax and back off. Ignore any hurtful comments and try street again,
sometimes if you are sneaky you may be seen as weird/pervy (to some) and if you are open you attract attention,
you cannot win. As a genuine good guy and photographer ignore everything and take your shots, improve your eye of your subject matter
and enjoy. Switch off from the negative ~ enjoy photography. Always be sensible and polite, but all this obsessive uptight attitude is negative.
Relax and do what you enjoy doing. Some people love having their image taken and smile for you, others think what is happening ~ that is life!
Enjoy life ~ Ignore the bullshit!

UFC on Fuel TV 4: Munoz vs Weidman
UFC on Fuel TV 4: Munoz vs Weidman
Fresh off of UFC 148, fight fans barely have time to catch their breath before gearing up for another night of mixed martial arts action. Gamma fighter Chris "All American"Weidman takes on Mark "The Filipino Wrecking Machine" Munoz this Wednesday night in the main event of the UFC's latest card on Fuel TV. Given Anderson Silva 's TKO victory over Chael Sonnen at UFC 148, it is likely that the winner of Weidman-Munoz will be the next man to challenge Silva for his seemingly untouchable middleweight title. The stakes have never been higher for these two middleweight contenders, so fans can expect an exciting bout in which both fighters look to score an impressive stoppage in order to earn their opportunity at UFC gold.
A Gamma fighter from the very beginning of his career, Weidman has a perfect 8-0 mixed martial arts record and is currently riding a 4-fight UFC win streak. His athleticism and strong wrestling background (he was a 2x All-American wrestler at Hofstra University) has enabled him to rapidly pick up jiu-jitsu, and his striking is developing nicely with the Serra-Longo fight team. Despite these formidable aspects of his game, Weidman's most dangerous attribute as a fighter may be his mental toughness. He has taken big fights on short notice twice already in his young UFC career, he has shown the ability to persevere through fatigue, and he has proven that he is not intimidated by anyone. All of these things have led to the large hype that surrounds Weidman, which includes being crowned the 2011 UFC newcomer of the year by ufc.com. He will need to be at the top of his game in order to beat Munoz on Wednesday night, as Munoz is a tough wrestler with heavy hands and a big heart. Powered by Gamma as always, we believe that Weidman will get the job done and move one step closer to the UFC middleweight championship.

A passionate sexual experience is human being's basic right and a blessing from God. My job is to assist everyone on the tantra path. There are two ways to this approach: healing and coaching.
1# Healing sessions are offered to address individual's personal concerns and specific request, like premature ejaculation, impotance, low dildo etc. I use tantra massage as a diagnose tool, go deep to the root of the problem and handle the issue on an integrated physical, emotional and mental level.
2#Coaching sessions are experimental. Anyone who wants to enjoy full-body multiple orgasms needs to beginn with masturbation, then process step by step. It's very like learning to drive: you can't travel on the highway directly without first practicing on a parking lot.
My quiet, clean and private studio is located in Richmond, BC, Canada, close to Vancouver Airport.
One day notice is highly recommended for careful preparation and maximum therapeutic effect. Please note: I work with hand only, no interactivity. For further information, call Angela at: 604-271-4148.

I don't have NFL Network, so I didn't have a chance to watch the Steelers/Browns game, which I figured would be an easy win for the Steelers. Then suddenly I started seeing an increasing string of "Are the Steelers really going to lose this game?" and "Maybe Omar Epps really is coaching the Steelers tonight" tweets on Twitter.
And then came the final score. 13-6 Browns.
Now, in the last four weeks, your reigning Super Bowl champions have lost to the Chiefs, Raiders and Browns. Think long and hard about that. You could make an excellent argument that right now, the Steelers are the worst team in football. I mean hell, at least the Rams gave the Bears a game last weekend. The Bears, as bad as they are, are still nowhere near as bad as the Browns.
So what is it? How does a team that won the Super Bowl last season get this bad in such a short time period? Heck, they started the season 6-2, then the wheels have just completely fallen off.
I know Troy Polamalu's injury hasn't helped, but trust me, when you're scoring only six points against the Browns, defense isn't your problem.
Lastly, I know some people think Ben Roethlisberger is an elite QB, but seriously, if you're an elite QB, you don't lose to the Chiefs, Raiders and Browns in four weeks.
But whatever, something is clearly wrong, and it also looks like you can scratch the Steelers off already in terms of defending their championship.
Steelers lose to the Browns 13-6. What's happened to the Steelers?

(ABC News)--Accidentally butt dialing someone is embarrassing or inconsequential to most, but for two Fresno, Calif., men, their cell phone mishap landed them in jail.
The call, which went to 911, started like any other call to the police dispatcher, with the operator asking, "What is your emergency?"
But when no one answered, the operator didn't hang up, instead staying on the line and listening to the pair, who police identified as Nathan Teklemariam and Carson Rinehart, both 20, as they talked about wanting to do drugs. It wasn't long before the conversation turned to breaking into a car.
"Get the bolt and give me the hammer just in case," one of the two voices on the phone said.
Shortly after that statement, the dispatcher heard a window shatter and the people on the phone started yelling that they found prescription drugs.
As the two were driving away, police were already in the area searching for the men based on clues that the 911 dispatcher was feeding to them.
The police finally tracked the suspects down and pulled them over. The suspects acted confused and questioned what why they were being pulled over, police said.
"Oh, he's following me, dog," one of the suspects said in the recording. "Wow, what the [expletive] did I do?"
As they were being questioned, the suspects allegedly denied any wrongdoing, but after searching the car, police said they found items that allegedly were taken from the burglarized vehicle.
After being cuffed, the suspects were finally told how they were caught.
"This fool really called 911?" one of the suspects said. "Damn."
"I have never heard of something like this," Sgt. Jaime Rios of the Fresno Police Department told ABCNews.com. "There have been times where the dispatcher hears something like this, but never has a call come in before a crime being committed and staying on all the way to the end."
Rios said the suspects are being charged with burglary, conspiracy and possession of stolen property.

"Second comes right after first"..
It's good to know that really serious gamers are getting down tough content, announcing their skill and dedication to the world. I myself am a competitive middle distance runner, and I can equate the long miles and hard training to the type of dedication it takes to be an end game raider. People don't generally look at these guys and applaud them as sportsmen and women, but they are achieving something that 8 million gamers can relate to, and in that sense they are celebrities in their own right, riding on the back of their own dedication to something that is important to them.
Despite this, nothing beats the satisfaction of taking down a Boss first time with my own guild. Though our aspirations are limited to much earlier end game content, our dedication is still significant in relation to the time we have available as older gamers with many real world commitments such as work and family.
In the future, we may only be the 500th guild to see Lady Vashj's contorted corpse despawn before our collectively horrified eyes, I know when it does happen, the satisfaction will be as potent to us as it is to Nihilium or Method.

Rhodes in the dock over tackle
Western Province utility forward Michael Rhodes will appear before a SARU judicial committee on Thursday for a dangerous tackle in the Currie Cup Final against The Sharks in Cape Town last season.
The disciplinary hearing was initially set to take place in the week following the match, but had to be rescheduled twice, resulting in a postponement until January.
Rhodes was cited for a dangerous tackle in the second half of the Currie Cup final when he placed his arm around Sharks hooker Bismarck du Plessis' neck in a maul and maintained his grip for a few seconds.
This was in breach of law 10.4 (e) relating to dangerous tackling. The hearing will take place in Cape Town on Thursday at 10am. Advocate Donny Jacobs will serve as the judicial officer.

This hagiographic profile of Laura Linney really doesn't say much that devotees of her work don't already know: she is phenomenal and we love her. But one point I wish Patricia Cohen, the author, had made is that Linney is often very good at elevating the trash she's in. Take Love, Actually, which pushes many of my most sentimental buttons, but which I am perfectly capable of admitting is doofy and even sometimes deeply problematic. But there is absolutely nothing corny about watching Linney's character, who cares for her seriously mentally ill brother, sabotage her chance at a relationship with a coworker she has been in love with for years. It's not about her doing something stupid, or goofy. It's not a portrayal of a beautiful woman having a totally implausible problem. It's that her character is literally unable to choose something for herself, no matter how much she wants it, over her caretaker role. Her character, even as part of a massive ensemble, is enough of a human being for the scene to be entirely believable. It's shattering, and I don't know who else could portray it the way Linney does.
Lovely Laura Linney

"Ericsson ConsumerLab TV and Video Report 2012" found 54% of people browse to mobile while watching TV; and more than 60% of those polled used their laptops for social forums.
Such a multitasking behavior is expected to increase due to the availability of various easy-to-use mobile devices like smartphones, laptops, and tablets. According to Ericsson AB, there were 42% of the respondents who preferred to discuss on the things they've watched over televisions.
The study is based on 12,000 online interviews conducted in the US, UK, China, Spain, Sweden, Brazil, Taiwan, South Korea, Germany, Mexico, Chile, and Italy.
According to Ericsson AB, there are more than 80% of those polled browsed the internet while watching TV or videos, while over 60% of them used social forums or blogs in a weekly basis.
In a separate survey conducted by Ericsson, mobile data traffic is found to have doubled between the third quarter of 2011 and third quarter of 2012; and the figure is predicted to soar 12 times higher between 2012 and 2018.

This website has been setup to promote the proper use of exterior public and private lighting in Northern Ireland to reduce light pollution.
Dark skies, moonlit and star-studded nights and the dawning of the day are part of the rich variety of our countryside. Yet nowadays much of the country is lit, often throughout the night. With more and more road lights, "security" lights and floodlights we are in danger of losing our starlit skies which once were an area of outstanding natural beauty.

Thank you
Thank you
Called them to check a water softer. They came and said they could not service the the equipment. They ask if I had called the service number on the unit. I knew it was over eight years old and didn't bother. I used the company before on a coupon and wanted to give them another try.
One of the gentleman called the number on the tank and talked to someone for about 10 minutes. When he hung up he said the equipment was under warranty and give the phone numbers to call.
How great was that!
Ask what I owed them for the service call and they said no charge and went on there way.
Super service.

I've found advice for free that other accountants would charge.

I want to recommend works with you to help you understand what is being done with your books and why. His commitment to your company shows in the detail he puts into his work.
I liked her from the beginning. I run a small business, and her own accounting firm is also a small business. So I really felt we were like-minded. She understood the struggles and issues of running a small business from personal experience, so I really felt she knew what I was talking about any time I talked about my business. I chose her over a larger firm that was perhaps just as capable, but more encumbered by layers of staffing and management. She is also a very good teacher as well, which is what I needed badly, as I have zilch in proper accounting training. And I liked that she was on top of my books all the time, so that I felt comfortable in that she was helping me keep my books in order for the IRS. The other "built-in" bonus is that she is certified in Quickbooks Online, which I liked very much because cloud computing and storage is what I wanted all along - I did not want to be tied down by physical office supplies. Everything is done off my laptop anywhere there is internet, plus there's an app for QB Online. As of now (about a month later) I feel I've made an excellent decision. I highly recommend her for any small business accounting!
????? I ordered a whole truck load of B Chip from FS &G for my landscaping projects. I called and talked to a young lady to place my order, and was impressed with her suggestions for my project, and her knowledge of what kind of gravel would best fit my needs. She listened carefully and placed my order with specific instructions for the driver to drop the load of gravel where I placed a orange flag IN TO THE LOWER YARD. I came home to find the whole truck load on my paved driveway! I called to talk to the delivery driver who said he couldn't do anything about it at this point. He argued with me even though I told him this action has cost me hours of extra work. After posting this on Facebook they responded to me with the following FS&G Aggregate wrote: Thank you for taking time to communicate to us why our delivery did not meet your expectations. We appreciate your feedback and have every desire to address your needs to provide the best service available. As with any small local business the greatest advertising we can have is word of mouth from a satisfied customer. Our staff works hard to provide quality service and when making residential deliveries our truck drivers make decisions with the use of their extensive personal experience and the best interest of the homeowner in mind. Please accept our sincere apology for the trouble or inconvenience this misunderstanding caused you. It is our goal to retain you as a satisfied customer and if you let us serve you again in the future our team promises to work with you to provide delivery service to your satisfaction. I had hoped someone would call me and apologize, but no one did! After about a week I called and asked to speak to the owner who did ask me what I wanted to be satisfied. I asked him for half of my money to be refunded, but I really would it hurt to admit they were wrong? The owner was Mr. Grouchy Pants too! I hung up feeling like he didn't really care as long as I let him off the phone.
We think we're the best, and we can prove it.
Try an annual plan and if you want to cancel in your first year, we'll refund you 110%

Product Description
About Virgin Peruvian Hair
Virgin Peruvian hair is light, silky and lustrous in texture which is one of the reasons that it's one of the most popular types of virgin hair extensions on the market. With proper care Virgin hair can be re-used for over a year. Beautiful Hair, LLC has the best virgin Peruvian hair on the market. Our bundles are one donor, so all cuticles are in the same direction.
Peruvian Bundles
All of our hair is sold in 3.5 to 4 ounce bundles. It takes 6 to 8 ounces for a full weave, or two bundles, however, for lengths 14 inches or more we recommend 12 ounces, or 3 bundles for a full weave.
Remy Hair
We hear the word remy and automatically think "good hair" when in all actuality remy simply means human hair. Most remy hair bought in stores is human hair covered in silicone and blended with other synthetics and animal hair. Virgin hair is never treated or blended.

Friday notes
For those of you who haven't seen them, our confections are back in production again! The change over in the weather finally gave us enough temperature control to not worry about any heat spikes causing any problems. Right now we've got our standards out, such as our coconut, salt caramel, and 70% dark chocolate ganache. Be on the look out for new varieties as well as updates to current ones. For example, the coconut now has some toasted coconut flake mixed in, which rounds out the sweetness nicely.
Also out this week, shepherd's pie! Towner put together a really nice individual lunch pastry, filling them with ground beef cooked in a rich beef broth, with carrots, peas and onions, and topped with a cap of potatoes mashed with a bit of smoked mozzarella cheese. These are seriously tasty pies, and really hit the spot since the weather has turned. We'll be seeing more savory items coming out as the season progresses.
Speaking of the weather change- please note that from Mashiko's on past us, the awnings are being taken down so that we can get the building fronts cleaned up, and new awnings installed. They were starting to look pretty worn, and were in need of a refresh, and the new awnings should look pretty sharp. In the meantime, be aware that the south sidewalk is a little more exposed than usual for the next few days.
So, just some short notes to carry you into the weekend. Have a great Friday evening everyone!

Yes. And this is only one issue. We have many others.
For example, what happens when China puts a straw in our coastal waters? And they do the same thing as BP? Now we're not dealing with just a corporation, but a monolithic government. Ugly!
Or the less obvious, like centralizing the production of power (for autos) so that when technology becomes available it won't require every Tom, Dick and Harry to buy a new car. We can just upgrade our power stations and spread the cost based upon energy use.

Dungeness Crab and Winter Citrus Salad
James Carrier
Notes: You can cook and season the rice (steps 1 and 2) up to 1 day ahead; when cool, cover and chill. Sliced pickled ginger (the pale pink kind served with sushi) is available canned in many supermarkets and refrigerated in Asian food markets; daikon sprouts are also available in Asian markets, but as an alternative you can use 2 cups rinsed and drained watercress leaves. To economize on the crab, you can replace part with chilled shelled cooked tiny shrimp.
Yield: Makes 4 to 6 servings

- 2. Meanwhile, in a wide bowl, mix rice vinegar with sugar. When rice is cooked, spoon it at once into bowl; mix with a fork. Let stand until lukewarm or cooler, about 30 minutes. Sliver 1/3 cup pickled ginger and add, along with bell pepper, to rice mixture. Stir with a fork to loosen rice grains and mix.
- 3. As rice mixture cools, with a sharp knife, cut peel and outer membrane from grapefruit, then cut between segments and inner membranes to release fruit; drop into a bowl. Discard peel and membranes. Sort through crab and remove and discard any bits of shell.
- 4. Mound rice mixture equally on dinner plates; top with crab and grapefruit segments. Spoon juice from grapefruit segments and the Sesame Cream Dressing evenly over salads; garnish with daikon sprouts and pickled ginger slices.

See how you age with the free Rodan + Fields Age-0-Meter
Luxand, Inc., Rodan + Fields Dermatologists has a free anti-ageing device up their sleeve which provides people the chance to see what their ageing face will look like through the years. It's a pretty cool idea that lets you go from beautiful and youthful to old and not so pretty! You need to give the Rodan + Fields Age-0-Meter a photograph and answer two questions about gender and whether or not they smoke. Then it will do its job by progressing the photos through the normal ageing process to demonstrate how faces will age through the decades based on gender and smoking habits. How cool is that. This really wakes up people and reminds them to take better care of their skin and healthy. It promotes healthy habits and discourages smoking in a way. It is free to use and all you need is a computer to access the website and provide a photo. Have a look, it's definitely worth it.

|New year looks exciting on so many levels
|Written by Bob Hyle
|Friday, December 28, 2012 6:49 PM
As I prepare to file away my 2012 calendar for good (maybe) and break out 2013's calendar filled with the latest photos of my grandchild, I wonder what events will unfold that will reshape my life and the lives of my family when the New Year comes a calling.
Because I'm writing this before Christmas, I haven't officially received the new calendar that my daughter is charged with providing me each year.
I assume she understands the importance of this responsibility. If not, she certainly will hear about it later, quite likely in a public forum such as this.
If I don't get a new calendar, I can always resort to what my late mother did in the years following the time I gave her a family-photo calendar.
She was so taken with it that she never took it down. If this was her way of hinting to me that I should get her a new one each year, it failed miserably.
I could keep my 2012 calendar nearby in hopes that it would be correct some other year, but according to the handy-dandy Internet the 2012 cycle won't repeat itself for another 28 years, at which time I'll either be buried or sitting in a nursing home wondering why my children never visit. (Hint to self: It may have something to do with these columns you keep writing.)
The New Year should be exciting because, to borrow a term from football, I'll be "bowl eligible" in February when I reach age 62.
Hitting that mark won't mean retirement for me; far from it, actually.
I'll be plying my trade until they pull my cold, dead index fingers from this keyboard.
I'm expecting more great things to happen in 2013. That's just the way I am.

The thought of Xavier mixing with other Catholic powers such as Marquette, Georgetown, Villanova, and St. John in a new league - as opposed to George Washington, LaSalle, and Fordham - has reignited my passion for college basketball.
If I hadn't watched Hoosiers just two months ago, I'd watch it again. Oh, who am I kidding? I'll watch it again and put it on my new calendar for late October. Sounds like a plan.
