"If there is any further and wider criminal investigation ... I believe it would be completely impossible to decide that there has not been a pattern of massive complicity by UK bodies in criminality at the highest levels directed at other Muslim prisoners," Mohamed said. "My experience was not isolated; it was part of a pattern."
Eliza Manningham-Buller, a former head of MI5, has said she believes the U.S. deliberately misled its allies over its handling of detainees during the so-called war on terror.
In a separate allegation of complicity from a former detainee, investigators also say they failed to find sufficient evidence — mostly because they lacked access to witnesses and the detainee who had been held by U.S. authorities at the Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan.
Some 3,000 terror suspects continue to be held at the secretive detention facility where detainees lack access to lawyers. Human rights organizations have repeatedly criticized U.S. authorities for a lack of transparency and legal protection for the detainees.
"One thing you read very clearly in those materials is that it is not that there wasn't torture, it is not that the British weren't involved, it is that there are witnesses who are not available to put their part," said Clive Stafford Smith, a lawyer with the legal charity Reprieve who represents some of the alleged victims of torture and rendition.
Most of the torture allegations came from terror suspects who were either initially held in Pakistan and Afghanistan, or sent to other countries such as Morocco for interrogation.
British agents were accused of passing on information about detainees but not of direct abuse.
Britain has already made payouts to 16 former detainees at Guantanamo. Among those alleged to have been part of the settlements were Mohamed, Bishar Al Rawi, Jamil El Banna, Richard Belmar, Omar Deghayes, Moazzam Begg and Martin Mubanga
British prosecutors and police said that while there was insufficient evidence to bring criminal charges now, cases could be reopened if new evidence emerges.
A separate government inquiry into Britain's role in the so-called war on terror is expected to begin later this year.

Nonlinearities in productivity growth: A semi-parametric panel analysis
We use country panel data spanning over 1998–2008 for both developed and developing countries to study the productivity growth when countries are close to the technology frontier. Relying on a semi-parametric generalized additive model, we estimate both reduced and structural forms for total factor productivity growth. We consider three measurements of frontier: the economy with the highest level of productivity growth, the world productivity growth and the productivity growth of the USA. We obtain a U-shape relation between productivity growth and the proximity to the world productivity growth. The relation between productivity growth and human capital displays an inverted U-shape form (res. U-shape) when the proximity to the highest productivity growth is used (res. the proximity to productivity growth of the USA). Total staff in R&D has an inverted W-shape effect on productivity growth. The share of R&D expenditure funded by government and from abroad impact positively the growth of productivity. However, the increase in government spending on R&D has a greater impact on productivity growth when the former is weak, and a smaller impact when R&D spending is already high. International trade has a positive effect on productivity growth. Specification tests show that our semi-parametric models provide a better approximation of the data compared to the parametric analogue, revealing a high degree of nonlinearity governing productivity growth.

Would you hold my hand,

I'll find my way through night and day
Cause I know I just can't stay here in heaven.

mckinstry thing: serious or parody?
Pardon me, English is not my first language, and I'm confused whether this mckinstry stuff you talking about is serious or just parody?
He's serious, we're all laughing at him not with him.
(If you don't know the expression, it means we consider him funny, stupid, and we don't believe him. It has a definate insinuation that I don't think he's smart enough to even realise that we're making fun of him.)

in thumbnail view i thought they are tiny bubbles
but it is looks like guinness
Like it.
Doesn't really look like Guiness though.
But I guess you have to be of drinking age to recognise that ;)
Doin' it for the points
Yeah, the shape of the glass is a bit different.
But we are use to seeing ads for Guinness that show the beer made out of black and white things.
Thought this is for Guinness.
It's really stupid to do an ad that looks just like a Guiness ad.
Plus, the idea looks like an ad from a New York Festivals book from '97.
Common' people!
Raise de bar!
Link, please. I don't remember.
nice, nice
por fin un aviso italiano que se entiende, jejeje.
Am I really the only person who sees a Yellow pint and not a pint of Guiness?
This only looks like a Guiness if you want it to. Which kind of says that you're just trying to "spot the brand" as opposed to actually taking in what you're seeing.
Doin' it for the points
An ad that looks just like a Guiness ad or not, I like it.
You know what ? Do the same thing in a club or a rave with green lights (with lime and bleu lights maybe) coming from the DJ's stage (club) or the stage (rave) and you will have a Heineken commercial (and a campaign aswell). You can even do a pool party and drop this Guiness stuff.
Do it, post it, get good comments ('caus this is cool stuff) and keep working this way.
Keep it up !
4get every other brand, its just a common beer glass that every one can use, and they have used it brilliantly. c'mon guys u all r talking about guiness. Its plain advertising
Is it a very has been done ad?
Please, give us a link.
Is this what you are seeing?
Guinness is just an illusion, for those who aren't getting it. ;) hehe
just good visual... nothing new.
AAAAAAhhh!!!! i'm in love with this ad :) feeling thirsty right now.. love it :)

I was just on We're Debt Free and I saw a thread about saving for school supplies. Most of them have EVERYTHING in their budget, so this has to be included. I am cool with that. The shock? The person who started the thread said she would have 400 dollars set aside by July for school supplies and clothes, and she wanted to know how much more she would need? ... People were agreeing with her and saying they spent that much or more. I spent less than 75 dollars on school supplies, backpack and lunchbox. I don't buy new backpacks or lunchboxes every year. And I don't buy new clothes when school startes. He just wears what he has been wearing. Whew! Just had to share that with a few like minded people. I know several of you on here will think the same way. Sometimes I think there is a reason the people on that thread are in so much debt.
Wow, people in our group think so differently than others.
I agree with you, LukeZiggyAndy, Minimalist thinking is drastically different from mainstream thinking. It is just not the way of the culture we live in, and because we are here on this board and others, we see with clarity the dramatic differences. I totally understood what you were pointing out, I see it a lot on those boards too versus here, the different thinking.
last year i spent 200$, 100$ for school supplys including a backpack and lunch box. then 100$ on school uniforms.
this year i have 2 in school, so i am guessing i will spend 400$ for both kids. around 200$ for school supplys and $200 for school uniforms. my older son out grew his school uniforms and he made them holey so i cant even pass them down to my middle cause they are in horrible shape. So I have to buy all new clothes for both boys.

DO think it is irresponsible to frivolously spend money no matter what your salary is.
The problem is, what is frivolous for one person may not be frivolous for another. Sure, there are some things we can probably all agree are frivolous no matter what. But when we're talking basic needs for children - clothing, school supplies, etc. - there is a lot more room for interpretation depending upon your circumstances.
babycenter associate customer support manager
Perhaps this board is simply not what I thought it was, and for that I apologize. I joined the board because this year I've been working on doing a lot of purging in our house, trying to reduce posessions and trying to be more thoughtful about what we do bring into the house. I find that the more stuff we have, the more clutter we have, and the more time I spend managing stuff, and the more stressed I feel.
Of course there will be a financial component to this, but it's not a primary goal. We already have a good budget in place and I think on the whole we are very careful with our finances, especially as compared to many of our peers. So my goal was to get some ideas to help with what I'm actively working on, with the going through stuff and purging, and also helping to steer my youngest away from her hoarding tendencies.
I personally feel that judging others for what they spend really isn't a fruitful exercise, and is probably one that leads to us to make false assumptions about others. So this thread has bothered me somewhat because I feel like there was a touch of that going on. I was hoping that this board would be welcoming to everyone interested in the topic even if they don't meet others' standards or ideas of what a minimalist should be or what a minimalist should spend.
Now what I really need to do is get back to work and work on minimizing my inbox!
babycenter associate customer support manager
I don't agree, spending less does not mean my children are going without their basic needs being fulfilled.
And spending 400$ on ONE young child, when trying to become debt free IS frivolous.
We can have differing opinions as to what frivolity is, but we ALL know that someone who is climbing out of a pit of debt is being frivolous if they are spending that much on one young child. We can admit it, or not, but it's frivolous. Period.
"There is only one success: to be able to spend your life in your own way." - Christopher Morley
I understand what you're saying, and this is the first thread here that seemed that way to me.
But, it was brought up, and I disagree with you. There's no harm in having differing opinions, but you're definitely going to see differing opinions from the norm on a board that focuses on scaling everything down, and I strongly feel that finances are a part of that.
"There is only one success: to be able to spend your life in your own way." - Christopher Morley
First of all, I don't have a problem with disagreement. I'm a long time member /participant of the debate environments here at BabyCenter.
I didn't say that someone being frugal with clothing or school supplies is letting their child go with basic needs unmet. What I'm saying is, buying a car that costs $80,000 is likely to be considered frivolous by just about anyone's standards. Buying a brand new pair of $30 snow boots from Land's End might be considered frivolous to you, but if the family's income is well into the 6 figures, retirement and college is taken care of, and those boots are going to get handed down to at least one sibling, I wouldn't consider it a frivolous purchase. It's not about "not admitting" frivolity, it's about having different circumstances and perspectives.
I can't really say much more about the mom who saved $400 for school supplies for her kindergartener. I don't know anything about her - I don't know if she's trying to crawl out of deep debt, or enjoying a debt-free lifestyle despite a good income. I don't know if she actually is planning on spending $400 or if she thought that she might need that much because it's her first child and she doesn't know. But as I said much earlier in the thread, $400 for school supplies alone for a kindergartener DOES strike me as way more money than necessary.
babycenter associate customer support manager
I don't want this board to be unwelcoming at all. I think anyone who is trying to scale down DOES get encouragement from the people here. But we generally don't encourage one another to go out and buy stuff. In fact we post photos on here looking for criticism and to find out what else we can do to downsize. Not in a mean spirited way. Anansy told me to get over it with kids books. She wasn't being mean. She thought I would be better off without them. I partially took her advice by immediately picking out 20 that I sold at Once Upon A Child. I think some of this are looking for a push toward minimalism from a board like this, because everywhere else our society is telling us to buy buy buy. On TV, on the radio on billboards, even the screen I am looking at right now has an advertisement off to the left. Everywhere we go, people say more more more. I just want a place that I can go where people will tell me that I don't need it, it is a lie and don't fall for it. It is kind of sad. This is the first argument like this we have had on here. I really didn't mean to start anything at all.
Oh no, don't feel bad!!! It's not an argument, it's just a debate, and debates make us think and look at things from different angles. It's all good.
I hear you on the encouragement to make do, to not buy if you really don't need to, to get rid of/donate what you don't need. I personally don't apply this universally because I've learned over the years where it makes sense to buy something (and make it last) vs not, and it's still a learning process. And quite honestly I am not aiming to minimize to the same level that some others are.
But I am trying to apply these ideas in areas where it makes sense for our family because we are a society that gives us the 'buy stuff!!' message and it's a difficult one to counteract. I'm tired of managing stuff and I want less of it to manage.

Iefan Rice was a Welsh wizard and a Beater for the Welsh National Quidditch team in the 2014 Quidditch World Cup[2]. He shot such a ferocious Bludger at Brazilian Keeper Raul Almeida that Almeida very nearly lost his head[2]. Despite this, Rice was permitted to stay on and play, and had to drag manager Gwenog Jones off the pitch after she attacked Brazilian manager José Barboza[2].
Notes and references

Total Time
Prep 4 hrs
Cook 2 hrs
This is a Greek recipe from a Mediterranean cookbook, using marinated lamb steaks or chops that are slow-cooked for an unbeatable, tender flavor. The dish is sealed like a pie, with a flour dough lid to trap in the flavor, but a tight fitting foil cover will work, too. Prep time includes time for marinating.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 lemon, juice of
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt (or, to taste)
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 4 lamb leg steaks or 4 lamb chops (bone-in)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 large onions, thinly sliced
- 2 bay leaves
- 2⁄3 cup dry white wine
- 2 cups plain flour
- Mix together the lemon juice, oregano and salt and pepper and brush over both sides of the lamb.
- Leave to marinate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Preheat oven to 325 F.
- Drain the lamb, reserving marinade, and dry lamb with paper towel.
- Heat olive oil in frying pan and cook lamb over high heat just until browned on both sides.
- Transfer the lamb to a shallow pie dish.
- Scatter the sliced onions and bay leaves around the lamb, then pour the white wine and the reserved marinade on top.
- Mix the flour with sufficient water to make a firm dough.
- Moisten the rim of the pie dish.
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface and use to cover the dish so that it is tightly sealed.
- Bake for 2 hours, then break away the crust and serve the lamb hot.
- Potatoes make a great accompaniment.

I used lamb loin chops bone in and the lamb just fell of the bone and was so tender it melted in your mouth and what lovely flavours were imparted from the marinade, wine and onions. Thank you east coast nellie for a great recipe and to weekend cooker for recommending it, made for I Recommend Tag Game.
A VERY GOOD dinner for us tonight. The combination of white wine, and marinade is fantastic !! Very tender. This was the first time making lamb steaks, I was a little worried, but for no reason. Made for tag games. Adopt a Chef.

I researched before I left to Cancun for restaurants reviews, and being Brazilian, I found out about Boivino's. We had to check it out, is little bit far from the Hotel zone, but worth it every minute! I guess they used to advertise to tourists before, so they would pay for your cab there and back from your Hotel, not anymore, but we went anyway. The customer service in this restaurant is out of this world, everyone is so eager to make you feel welcome and have the opportunity to practice their English, from the Hostess all the way to the Manager! The food is excellent, I read it that drinks were a little bit pricey, but since we don't drink, that wasn't an issue. The selection at the Salad Bar is great, everything tasted delicious, and let's not mention the meats selection, Perfection, if you visited a "Churrascaria" before you'll not be disappointed, Bovino's is a little piece of Brazil in Cancun, and that was a delightful surprise! and to top it off, they offered to pay our taxi back to the Hotel! Definitely will be back again!

There are many, many ways that you can make money as a writer outside of creating a best selling novel. It's rare, but some authors such Stephen King and J.K. Rowling become billionaires, but most authors do not make that much. In fact, many authors only make a small, secondary income with their writing.
There are several ways to make some money with your craft, but most of them are not highly creative by nature. In fact, finding a staff writing job in which you get paid to write whatever you want is something of a unicorn in the writing world. Only the elite get such staff positions and even then, there are restrictions.
Now, if you are not one of those elite, well established writers, we've got some ideas for where to start:
- Outsource.com is a great place to do some writing. You can freelance your work there, but it requires you to have a few references.
- Fiverr.com is also a great place to get started, but it does not pay a lot. If you are going to use Fiverr, make sure you try to upsale-that is, add on items of value for extra charge-as much as possible. Otherwise, you may not make much money.
- Freelance.com is a newer website that is free to join. At the time of the writing of this blog, I am not sure how much traffic you will get from using it but it is free to join.
- You can try to start a blog with your own content and build it via social media. Once you have built it up a bit, you can start using Google adwords to get money by customers clicking through to your website. It's an easy way to build passive income.
- About.com takes submissions for new content for articles every so often. They tend to use the same writers, but it's not unusual for them to hire new ones.
- Magazines, newspapers and bylines will often pay for articles, but not well at first. If you are an unknown, they will often try to get you to either pay them or to do it for "Exposure". Do NOT give your work out for exposure. You worked hard for this. Don't give it away for free. 90% of the time the exposure you get is so limited that you're actually losing out by doing so.
- Contests can occur at any time of the year and can be for any amount of money. There are several major contests depending on your genre. You'll have to google the terms "writing contests", "juried writing contest" and "free writing contest" in order to find local and national contests that you would be interested in.
Publications Houses:
These are difficult and hard to get into. You may be rejected many, many times before you get a yes. J.K Rowling was reportedly told no more than ten times before Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets was published. Stephen King was rejected for many years before Carrie ever saw a bookstand. Be prepared to get no after no.
Self Publication:
With the advent of e-readers, there is a huge market in self publication. You will have to take on the cost of what you publish yourself, with your own advertising (or you can hire an ad company), but since you are putting all the work into one single electronic file, the overhead on this is minimum. Check out Amazon's e-publishing forums for more information on how to do this.
and finally,
Selling Content
Recently, I found myself out of a day job and needed some money. I did a quick search on line and found five websites for local businesses that had almost no content on their webpages. Now, in order to rank your webpage for SEO, you have to have some content.
I contacted the webmaster for each page and offered them a package deal to write and submit content to them to use on their webpage with a one time fee. One of these sites was for an above ground storm shelter. You can click on the link to see an example of what it looks like when you add content to a page. (It basically looks like a magazine spread.) If you know something more about website design, you can actually promote yourself as a full service designer using platforms like weebly, wordpress, wix, etc. Jobs like this will pay upwards of $5,000 if you're good at it.
If you come across (or know of) more ways for someone to make money writing, please let us know! Email us at email@example.com with your tips on how to make money with you craft.

Alright so I adopted a dog, Tux, who's a Siberian Husky and German Shepherd mix. He is over two years ago and is currently living outside in a dog pen. I adopted him because I am graduating college soon and wanted a companion for an apartment... however, he is not trained. He did get some time in the crate and was becoming accustomed when my parents put him outside. I was told he would be kept inside but have since learned otherwise. Once I graduate, I plan on trying to get him through some obedience training.
I was wondering if there was anyone out there who's run into the same problem and if you had any tips. Would it be smart to enroll him in training when he's not potty trained and since he's been outside? Is he a lost cause?
I love this dog to death. He had a great demeanor before he was put outside and now I'm afraid that being outside has completely broken him from being an inside dog. Especially since he's so large... and now? Wild.
Thanks for the advice! I really appreciate it. :]
PhillyFlyer, it's unfortunate that he's having to stay outside, but it doesn't have to be detrimental to his long term behavioral health! I would enroll him in a positive reinforcement obedience class as soon as you move out. Don't worry about the fact that he's not potty trained. There will be other dogs in class that aren't and you are there to learn about all aspects of training. If you start him in class right when you get into the apartment, you'll be able to start good habits right from the start. You might want to even meet with the trainer beforehand to see if they have some tips for you before you get into the apartment. You'll probably need to crate train him again, but that would be the same as with any dog that's new to your home. He's definitely not a lost cause. When he moves with you, the situation will be entirely different and he can just learn new rules for the new situation. Make sure he gets plenty of exercise and be consistent in what's expected of him and you two will be fine!

The France full-back missed Saturday's win over Wigan with a minor knock suffered on international duty and was forced to watch as new arrival Alex Buttner made an eye-catching debut.
While Evra will still be regarded as first-choice left-back, Buttner's goal, assist and overall solid performance suggests the 31-year-old has greater competition for his place than in previous years.
With the exception of Wayne Rooney, Chris Smalling and Phil Jones, United look like being at full strength for the visit of the Turkish side.
Robin van Persie and Shinji Kagawa were both training, along with midfielder Darren Fletcher, who is closing in on a long-awaited comeback from a chronic bowel condition.

this figure isn't as useful as median personal income.
If you can find the median personal income for King County, post a link in the comments. I couldn't easily find it this morning..
Nope, still bummed.
Again this is apples-to-apples. Bill Gates and the homeless guy around the corner have a per capita personal income in the billions.
Oops, I meant NOT apples-to-apples.
Why isn't yesterday's thread letting me comment/respond to Gomez's last salvo?
Unfortunately, it's impossible to find a median personal income, which in some ways would be the truest measure of middle-class economics. Median household income is collected using census techniques (which are generally household-specific). Personal income is damn near meaningless because of the Gates-homeless guy problem. To put a finer point on it: US personal income has been skyrocketing over the last 5-7 years as the wealthiest have gotten even wealthier, but every other measure of middle class prosperity--wages, median income, savings rate, tax data, etc--has been flat or actually declining.
Regardless, neither the household income nor the personal income stats listed are enough to live on in this city - things here are priced for amazon and microsoft folks and the like - everything from groceries to housing. What kind of mortgage can you expect to get for $60k? It's ridiculous.
Yeah, that's still pretty high. You're pretty much not only college educated, but firmly enslaved ERRRRRR entrenched with a company and well connected to have a salary that reaches, let alone passes, those marks.
And don't waste my time, exceptions. That's why you're exceptions: because you are not a relevant indicator of the norm.
Well, if you have savings, and no consumer debt, and live cheaply, you can easily afford a $200,000-$250,000 mortgage. that will get you into a condo, especially if you have a lot of savings.
But if you're an American, you probably don't have any savings. You probably have an ipod, and a cell phone with a 1000 minutes a month, and a computer, and broadband, and cable tv, and an newish car bought on payments, and two lattes a day, and twice-weekly trips out drinking in clubs, and restaurant trips more often than that, and so on and so forth. So you probably have a ton of consumer debt, and you probably have a large recurring monthly bill for services.
Which makes paying for any kind of mortgage on this $60K impossible. But the "30% rule" is a joke; you can easily afford to spend WAY more than 30% on housing if you adjust your lifestyle. But Americans don't like to adjust their lifestyle anymore.
There are immigrants all over this city who spend VIRTUALLY ALL of their income after tax on investment, including housing as soon as they have enough saved for a down payment. They have no "lifestyle" now, but in a few decades they will be far richer than you.
This is not a lecture, because I'm as bad a spender as any of you. But its a fallacy to say that it's impossible; it's just uncomfortable. And Americans need to be comfortable all the time, even if it hurts their future.
But think about it: if you are an aggressive about savings, you can easily live on a few dollars a day for food. I've lived on a lot less than that before. Cut back to basic utilities -- heat, water, light. Tear up your credit cards, pay off the balances, and stop spending money on anything at all. Ride the bus to work. You'll have enough for a down payment on a condo fairly quickly. You build equity, and you're on your way.
It's not easy, and it's not fun, but it IS doable. It's probably what your parents did, or your grandparents.
Careful, Fnarf, you're starting to sound a little chest-thumpy there . . .
FNARF Nails It!
Up until about seven years ago, the mortgage industry was as staid and fiscally conservative as it gets.
The rules of thumb were:
1) You can afford a home that costs three times your gross household income.
2) You shouldn't spend more than 36% of your income on all debts including the mortgage.
3) A down payment of 20% or more is required.
Now we live in the age of zero down, Never-Say-No lending, with housing prices that have far outstripped incomes. In Los Angeles, for example, the median household income is around $60,000, but the average cost of a home is like $500,000. This can't go on forever. And for frak's sake don't take out an Interest Only or Option Payment ARM.
I'm just sayin'.
I totally agree with Fnarf. I think the bigger problem is that wages increases in almost all companies do not compete with inflation. And since inflation is different for each state, I can understand why its hard for large corporations to handle. But even if you save and live frugally, if your wage does not go up to meet inflation, you will always be behind. I honestly think that if wages went up with inflation, it would help quite a bit.
But yes, Americans won't sacrifice anything, even their poor diet.
Fnarf makes wonderful points. A friend of mine who has worked for years on the UofW campus loves to regale us over dinner with tales of the high-priced items - and sense of entitlement - that students arrive on campus with, and the fancy treatment they receive, as the UW has increasingly become an expensive, elitist school.
Thursday the Seattle Times ran a long article titled "Fewer can afford to buy a house in King County, report says". It covers the "Affordable Housing 2006" report released by King County Wednesday, which concludes that housing became even more unaffordable in 2006. The low-priced semi-afforable areas are in South King County (think White Center).
Since the income of the average Slog reader is probably somewhere in the $20K range, no amount of tweaking the figures between household and personal is going to cheer them up.

By Governor Rell's Office
Dec 10, 2008 - 11:01 AM
Governor M. Jodi Rell today announced that six more start-up technology
companies have received a financial boost through the Connecticut Small Business
Incubator Program. Governor Rell announced aid to eight such start-ups in
The Small Business Incubator Program (SBIP) was developed in 2007 to further the
work of small, technology-based firms. These start-ups have the potential to
create new jobs and new economic opportunity for the state.
"The focus on keeping and growing jobs - especially in high-growth sectors such
as high-technology businesses - is all the more critical because of the national
economic slump," Governor Rell said. "These are smart, targeted investments that
have the potential to pay off handsomely for the people of our state.
"We certainly understand the financial risk and responsibility involved when
trying to start a business from scratch," the Governor said. "This program
fosters innovation and accelerates the growth and success of Connecticut's
high-tech sectors. Our support for these companies shows just how committed we
are and how important high-tech entrepreneurial businesses are to the state."
The SBIP recognizes that incubator companies have a strong likelihood of
success. According to National Business Incubation Association, 87 percent of
incubator companies remain in business and 84 percent remain in the community.

As a psychologist in Los Angeles who specializes in relationship issues, I talk about dating all the time with my clients. I've identified several mistakes that men and women make in dating, and hopefully this list can be helpful to you.
Fixating on one physical type – and not giving other types a chance.
Hands down, I see this problem most frequently when it comes to women who refuse to date a short man. I have had so many women come to see because they have trouble with relationships, and the vast majority has one type they would never date: short men. It's almost as if these grown women believe short men have cooties! Huh, you say? I am always so confused when I meet someone who denies an entire category of people consideration for dating – especially because of height. My gosh, some of the kindest, smartest, and most financially successful men in the world are short. Note: If you ever attend a high-falutin' Hollywood party with your favorite actors and actresses, you'll quickly see how many A-list stars are tiny, tiny, tiny. And there is nothing wrong with that. The more open you are about types of people you'll consider dating, the better.
Working too hard in the beginning.
A male client of mine once told me about the first date he'd coordinated for a girl he desperately wanted to impress. Long story short, a limo was involved, and that's all the information you need to understand the mistake. It goes without saying that the relationship my client started in the limo has since ended, and it ended because he walked into the relationship convinced that he had to search for approval and prove his worth to her. Limo? Let's find out her last name and, I don't know, maybe whether she's a nice, responsible person before we start maxing out any credit cards, okay? If you work too hard when you first start dating someone, you're wearing your (boat load) of anxiety on your sleeve.
Making too many future plans.
Dating is partly frustrating for men and women because of the uncertainty involved. Romantic affection is a delicate thing, and there's nothing you can do to control someone to like you back. Most anxiety in the beginning of dating centers on that facet exactly: whether he or she likes you back. One way that new daters try to overcompensate for the uncertainty of the future is to make lots of plans during the date, as if your object of interest could slip through your fingers and disappear if you're not careful. You've probably been on a date where someone suggests, "We should see that movie together" or "This summer we have to [insert activity]." Slow down and relax. If the two of you are meant to be together, let the chemistry unfold.
Using too much sexual caution.
You probably didn't predict this one but I like to go out with a bang. It's interesting that men and women often have want to initiate a sexual gesture early in dating, but they frequently quash those sexual impulses for fear of putting the other person off. What many clients express to me in therapy is that they wish their date wouldn't pump the brakes so much and would actually make a move! For example, I have female clients who have fantasies of the guy they're dating initiating intense sexual gestures (e.g., getting pushed on the bed and having their clothes taken off). The men they date, however, often make assumptions that the women don't want to be handled like an object. Here's the caveat: When it comes to sexual gestures, be mindful to continually check in with your partner to make sure it's okay. At the first hint of the word "no" or "stop," it's time to do just that.
Though dating is not easy or always pleasant, it can be better if you avoid making certain mistakes. Take good care of yourself as you look for your match!

Sugar cane industry urges safe driving
Published: Monday, October 28, 2013 at 8:17 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, October 28, 2013 at 8:17 p.m.
The Thibodaux-based American Sugar Cane League has brought football analyst Mike Detillier, also a sports correspondent for The Courier and Daily Comet, on board as a spokesman for its road safety campaign.
The league began a safety campaign in September, placing a number of billboards on local roads to warn drivers to be cautious around sugar cane trucks.
Operation Lifesaver, a national railroad safety campaign, has also joined the efforts of the league to keep local drivers safe. The coalition will produce 30-second radio spots on the Louisiana Radio News Network that will run daily until Christmas.
"This is football analyst Mike Detillier reminding you that sugar cane harvest season is here," the ad reads. "The American Sugar Cane League and Operation Lifesaver remind you to drive safely at railroad crossings and around sugar cane vehicles. ... Be patient. Never drive around sugar cane machinery at railroad crossings."
During the past three years, Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development statistics have shown the months coinciding with the harvesting season to be the most dangerous for drivers in terms of injury-causing accidents.
Local sugar cane farmer Seth Thibodaux said he thinks people have become less cautious in the 10 years he has been driving cane trucks.
"People use to respect the trucks more," Thibodaux said. "Now there is just more traffic, people will try to pass trucks. I had to get on someone for trying to pass just the other day."

Eye of the Beholder
Question: Can a man fall in love with a woman that he's never met, spoken to or doesn't even know her real name? Well, in the Eye of the Beholder, they try and answer that question.
A friend who knows I adore Ewan McGregor told me about this movie. I hadn't heard of it before and was curious to see it. Alright, I see everything he is in, you all know that by now, right? Anyway, I put it on my Netflix queue a few weeks ago and it arrived on Tuesday. I didn't get a chance to see it that night - although I really, really wanted to. So today before I had to pick up the kids from camp I popped it in.
Directed by Stephen Elliott, Destination Films, 1999, Ewan McGregor, Ashley Judd,Patrick Bergin, k.d. Lang and Genevieve Bujold.
Genre: Drama, Mystery, Thriller.

By Mrs. Brigitte Rox (AMC)September 3, 2013
Soldiers with the Ohio National Guard's 638th Aviation Support Battalion (ASB) unit were recognized for the special impact they have made to the Corpus Christi Army Depot (CCAD) during their annual training, August 10-24.
The 32 Guardsmen are part of an aviation intermediate-level maintenance unit, or AVIM. The men and women have an array of military occupational specialties, but they all tie directly to aircraft maintenance.
"We have everything from general mechanics to all the different breakouts," said Captain Andrew Gupko, the Production Control Officer for the 638th. "We have an avionics shop, an electronic shop, a hydraulic shop, prop and rotor, sheet metal, aircraft structural repair."
Known mainly as the core entity for Army Aviation's maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) for helicopters, engines and their components, CCAD is the perfect training ground for the battalion's specific needs.
During their rotation, the 638th worked alongside the many federal civilians who call themselves depot artisans. CCAD's civilian workforce of approximately 4,000 skilled employees and contractors go to the depot every day to produce indispensible military aircraft for the customer.
It was their job to help the Guard develop the critical skills they need for their next mission.
"We host units regularly for aviation maintenance training across a wide array of aviation MOS categories," said Colonel Billingsley Garner Pogue III, Depot Commander. Though the depot is primarily an industrial facility, CCAD offers no-cost on-site lodging to military personnel and reserve components.
"This block of training is our biggest bang for our buck," said Sergeant First Class Brad Pietzcker of the 638th.
He says that the nature of training the National Guard has its challenges. "Throughout the year we meet one weekend a month, twelve months a year. If they are deployed, our people are going to have to know how to do exactly what they do here at CCAD. We're going to have to know how to tear down hydraulic components, engine components and engines, we're going to have to know how to do in-depth sheet metal repair."
"CCAD is like nowhere else," added CPT Andrew Gupko. "You can't get this experience anywhere else in the Army. That's why it's very important for us to keep coming down. You come in every day and there's going to be something to do and it's always going to be something that you probably never done before. It leads to new experience."
"The people here [at CCAD] are the best," said 1SG Pietzcker. "I've taken [Soldiers] to other places where you go in the shop and the guy that's in charge of the shop just does not want to train anybody. Here, they know these guys by their first names. They embrace them, they slow down, they train them, and they make them a part of the CCAD family which, to me, is pretty cool."
"Our artisans love having Soldiers among us," said COL Pogue. "And the Soldiers helped us reduce some furlough- and sequester-related backlog."
Specialist Sarah Cloutier is an Automated Logistical Specialist (92A) with the 638th. She came down to CCAD for her second rotation of training. She and SPC Tyler Ganzer were assigned to work in one of CCAD's Aircraft Production Control Division hangars.
Joe Quintanilla, the manager in the hangar, had a special assignment for the team -- they would develop a new Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for a neglected tool room -- a process that could become a template for all production hangars at the depot.
First, the specialists assessed the ebb and flow of a cluttered tool cage. Then, they used their logistical prowess to create a plan.
"We came up with an idea of what we can change in 30 days and beyond 30 days to improve the logistics and flow of the tool cage," said SPC Cloutier. "The very last briefing we did wasn't just for the hangar [we focused on], but for all the hangars that will implement our new SOP."
"I learned all about tool rooms," SPC Cloutier said of her project. She doubles as a college student at Kent State where she studies accounting and business management. "I don't know anything about tools, but I learned the little things to make it efficient and accountable to control it."
"This project fit perfectly with my minor," she said. "It now runs like a tool room should," said 1SG Pietzcker. "CCAD only has room to improve now."
Quintanilla expects to have the new process fully implemented in Production Control's five tool cages by the beginning of the next fiscal year.
"This was a particularly successful rotation and a win-win for both of our organizations," the depot commander said of the 638th.
"These troops have left a legacy in that department," said 1SG Pietzcker.
Their legacy will be fully realized when they return to CCAD next year to build on all they have learned.
Another rotation of 50 National Guard out of Ohio is expected to arrive at CCAD this month. For more information on CCAD and its training opportunities, download the CCAD app from your favorite app store.

Summary | Excerpt | Reading Guide | Reviews | Beyond the book | Readalikes | Genres & Themes | Author Bio
Oscar Wilde once said, "There is nothing quite like an
unexpected death for lifting the spirits." And there is nothing quite like a
good mystery when the amateur sleuth is Oscar Wilde himself. If you are a fan of
Doyle's Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, you will certainly devour this new
series written in the same fashion, with Richard Sherard (Wilde's real-life
friend and biographer) playing the Watson role.
When Billy Wood, a young artist's male model, is found murdered, it appears to be "a death of no importance", but because of Oscar's sharp deductive and reasoning skills, it becomes quite important to a number of prominent British citizens. As readers romp through Victorian England in this witty and intelligent mystery they will enjoy many twists of plot and a wide range of characters from the most celebrated to society's outcasts, from the Prince of Wales ...
Gyles Brandreth is a prominent BBC broadcaster, theater producer, novelist
and biographer. He has written best-selling biographies of Britain's royal
family (Phillip & Elizabeth: Portrait of a Marriage, Charles & Camilla:
Portrait of a Love Affair and an acclaimed diary of his years as a Member of
Parliament. (Breaking the Code Westminster Diaries).
At age thirteen (1961) he was given the Complete Works of Oscar Wilde and read all 1,118 pages. The first non-fiction book he ever read was the full account of the trials of Oscar Wilde. Also as a young boy in England, Brandreth was an avid fan of the adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle. When he was ten, the family moved to Baker Street and from his kitchen window he could see what he believed to be the famed 221B. He read every one of the Sherlock Homes stories. At age thirteen he wrote a school play,...

City, teachers work on new contractMay 21,2013SOUTH BURLINGTON The South Burlington School Board and the teachers union are hoping a fact-finding report can help them reach an agreement on a new contract.
Negotiations have been under way since November and a mediator from Boston met with both parties May 15 but was unable to resolve an impasse in negotiations.
The fact-finding report that is due mid-summer will disclose publicly the most recent offers each side has made.
But the Burlington Free Press reported neither side is willing to discuss the details of the negotiations.
Nothing is agreed until its all agreed, said School Board Chairman Richard Cassidy.
Chief teacher negotiator, Eric Stone, said the union wants a deal.
Nothing would please us more than getting that fair, settled contract, said Stone, a South Burlington High School math and science teacher.
The current contract expires June 30 but it includes a clause extending the terms of the contract if no new agreement has been reached.
In 2011, the board and union fought bitterly before agreeing to the current contract. The board imposed terms after the union refused to accept a proposal that would have eliminated automatic pay increases standard in most teacher contracts based on each year of service and additional education.
The starting salary for South Burlington teachers is just over $41,000 with a maximum salary of $85,382.MORE IN Vermont NewsPHILADELPHIA After standing at the podium to second the nomination of Sen.

It was an unhappy hour for a Dunedin publican this week when
a person drove through the wall of his Caversham tavern.
Yesterday, builders were busy rebuilding a wall of Mitchell's
Tavern after it had been damaged in an alleged hit and run
the previous day.
Publican Bryan Morris told the Otago Daily Times it appeared
"a driver hit [the building], wandered around their car for a
while, backed away and then took off".
Mr Morris, who was not at the South Rd tavern at the time of
the incident, said the repair bill would "not be cheap".

"My Luhansk Experience" Top 5 Page for this destination Luhansk by smurphy1400
Luhansk Travel Guide: 412 reviews and 2,076 photos
After connecting through Kyiv, I arrived at Luhansk airport (VSP) late at night. Being accustomed to travelling in the US, Carribbean, etc., I would call it a "no frills" airport... waiting at the plane for your luggage and a long. poorly lighted walk to the front curb where my taxi was waiting. But, to be fair I arrived late at night (and left very early in the morning) so you might have a different experience during regular hours.
I stayed in two different rental apartments during my trip, as the apartment I reserved was not ready upon my arrival. I was told there were electrical problems which took 2 days to correct, but, as the lady who cleaned the apartment was just leaving as I arrived, I am inclined to think they just double-booked the apartment. :) I am told renting an apartment is both cheaper and provides superior accomodations than most hotel rooms, but do not expect a room at the Ritz. I found the accomodations to be quite acceptable, although it is a bit "off-putting" to see that every apartment door appears built to withstand a battering ram. I must admit that it did make me feel secure!
I was able to walk to most of the places I wanted to visit, which is great since I can always afford to lose a few pounds, and I found it easy and convenient to find a taxi just about anywhere. It rarely cost more than 15 Hryvnia to get anywhere around town.
There were a couple of grocery stores not too far from me, both of which had just about anything I could think of, a "convenience" store 100 metres from my door, restaurants galore, banks and shops of every kind within walking distance. (I stayed on Moskovskaya Str, near the famous Puppet Theatre)
I was fortunate enough to see a wonderful fireworks display, in Theater Square, from my balcony. Even though I visited in October, I could still feel the importance of the many city parks and even at that time of year it was easy to see how green and beautiful the parks must be in the Spring and Summer. Remembering that the USA is a relatively new country, Luhansk does feel and look like an old city. I don't need to tell anyone that all cities have their pros and cons. I found the city to be quite charming, with pleasant little cafes, shopping areas, many restaurants and an abundant night life. Generally speaking, I do not like cities and would never have considered living in one. But my opinion was formed, based on American ciites and I have to admit that I think I would enjoy living in Luhansk!
Even though I was there for almost 2 weeks, I realize that I was still just a visitor. Not merely a tourist, but certainly not a local. If you want more information about Luhansk, check some of the locals' pages, they can tell you much more than I! Having said that, I highly recommend that you contact someone in Luhansk before your visit. Not only can they show you around to some of the best sites and places, they can steer you away from the people and places who are only interested in separating you from your money. And they will make you feel like a VIP and just like family too.
Luhansk may not be on the "A List" of vacation destinations, it may be an industrial city who's prime has passed it by, but they are constantly improving the city and moving it proudly into the future. (Did that sound like I work for the local Tourism office?) The city has a lot to offer in history, architecture and nostalgia. St. Vladimirs's Cathederal is BEAUTIFUL! And plenty of places to eat and things to do. I, for one, will definitely be going back!
- Pros:Great parks, plenty of food, community events, entertainment and friendly people
- Cons:Poorly maintained roads, much of the city could use a "face-lift", especially infrastructure.
- In a nutshell:Maybe in need of a little polishing, but still a jewel

Crown Castle International On Sale
Alpha Gen Capital
Alpha Gen Capital
Aug. 4, 2015, 8:29 PM
- Crown Castle International (NYSE:CCI) has closed on its purchase of Quanta Services' fiber unit, Sunesys, previously said to be for $1B.
- The company sold its Australian unit -- CCAL, Australia's leading tower operator -- for A$2B (about $1.6B) with the intent to finance the purchase of Sunesys and refocus on its U.S. network.
- Sunesys owns or has right to nearly 10,000 miles of fiber in the U.S.
- Crown Castle will update its full-year outlook to reflect the closing in its Q3 report.
May 28, 2015, 9:18 AM
- Crown Castle International (NYSE:CCI) has wrapped the sale of its Australian unit, CCAL, for A$2B (about $1.6B) to investors led by Macquarie Infrastructure and Real Assets.
- CCI owned 77.6% of CCAL and so will net proceeds of about $1.3B.
- Funds will be used for its $1B acquisition of Sunesys (the Quanta Services fiber unit) and general purposes.
May 14, 2015, 10:00 AM
- Crown Castle International (CCI +0.7%) says it will sell its Australian unit, CCAL, for about $1.6B to a Macquarie-led consortium.
- It'll use those proceeds in turn to boost its U.S. network, to finance its purchase of Quanta Services' Sunesys.
- "The sale of CCAL allows us to redeploy capital towards our growing small cell networks, which we expect will be accretive to our long-term AFFO and dividend per share growth rates," says CEO/President Ben Moreland.
- CCAL, Australia's leading tower operator, was expected to contribute $97M-$102M to CCI's 2015 EBITDA of $2.145B-$2.16B.

Sep. 23, 2014, 6:13 PM
- Verizon (NYSE:VZ) has hired boutique i-bank TAP Advisors to find a buyer and work out a lease-back agreement for its 12K wireless towers by year's end, Bloomberg reports. It adds a deal could yield $6B, given how much AT&T received per tower in last year's $4.83B sale/leasing deal with Crown Castle (NYSE:CCI).
- Crown Castle, American Tower (NYSE:AMT), and SBA (NASDAQ:SBAC) have all been buying towers at a heady pace. However, the rising debt loads produced by the purchases could make one or more of the companies respond cautiously to Verizon's move.
- Verizon, for its part, is looking to de-leverage some after raising over $60B in debt to help pay for the Vodafone deal. The carrier had $104.2B in net debt at the end of Q2.
Oct. 21, 2013, 12:46 PM
- Crown Castle (CCI -0.9%) is trading lower following its $4.85B deal to buy and acquire leasing rights to 9.7K AT&T towers, which includes the right to eventually purchase the leased towers for $4.2B. The decline comes even though Crown Castle posted solid Q3 results and issued decent Q4/2014 guidance.
- Nomura sees the deal being modestly accretive, and doesn't like the equity dilution and higher operating leverage that comes with it. Crown Castle is issuing 36M shares of common stock, and 7.5M shares of convertible preferred stock.
- Though Q3 EPS missed by a penny, Crown Castle's AFFO came in at $1.09/share, above a guidance range of $1.02-$1.04/share and up from $0.79/share a year ago. Q4 AFFO is expected to total $1.09-$1.11/share. Crown Castle expects Q4 site rental revenue of $625M-$630M, up from Q3's $621M (+15% Y/Y).
- The company expects 2014 AFFO of $1.546B-$1.561B, up from an expected $1.23B-$1.235B in 2013. The AT&T deal, which increases Crown Castle's tower count by 33% to 40K+, is expected to provide a $245M-$255M boost to 2014 AFFO, exc. financing costs.
Oct. 20, 2013, 7:58 PM
- Cashing in on the consolidation action among cell phone tower operators, AT&T (T) agrees to lease/sell its tower portfolio to Crown Castle International (CCI) for $4.85B in upfront proceeds.
- Crown Castle will have the rights to lease about 9.1K AT&T towers and purchase roughly 600 others. The average term of the lease rights is about 28 years, after which Crown Castle has an option to purchase the towers for approximately $4.2B. AT&T will sublease space on the towers for at least 10 years with an option to renew up to a total of 50 years.
- AT&T had put the portfolio on the block in September, and two weeks ago a deal with Crown Castle was reported to be close.
Oct. 8, 2013, 5:49 PM
- Bloomberg reports AT&T (T) is close to selling its wireless tower portfolio (already confirmed to be on the block) to Crown Castle (CCI). The news service previously reported a sale could fetch $5B.
- Today's report comes only a month after American Tower announced a deal to buy private Global Tower Partners for $4.8B, and thereby significantly grow its own U.S. tower footprint.
Sep. 17, 2013, 12:55 PM
- Bloomberg reports AT&T (T +0.6%) is looking for a buyer for its massive cell tower portfolio in a deal that could be worth $5B.
- American Tower (AMT -0.3%), Crown Castle (CCI +0.1%), and SBA (SBAC) are natural potential suitors for part or all of the portfolio. AMT is fresh off announcing a $4.8B deal to acquire private tower owner Global Tower, whose assets are mostly U.S.-based.
- AT&T has spiked slightly higher on the report. A tower sale would help Ma Bell pay down some of the $75.2B in debt it held at the end of Q2, and thus strengthen its balance sheet as it turns its eyes toward Europe.
- Back in March, RBC speculated AT&T could sell its tower assets for a "mid-$5 billion" or higher price tag.
Sep. 6, 2013, 10:15 AM
- SBA (SBAC +2.1%) and Crown Castle (CCI +3.2%) have joined American Tower (AMT +4.4%) in rallying following news AMT is acquiring giant private cell tower owner Global Tower Partners for $4.8B ($3.3B in cash + the assumption of $1.5B in debt).
- The WSJ reported a month ago Global Tower, controlled by a REIT managed by Macquarie, was being shopped. The company owns 5.4K U.S. towers and 500 Costa Rican sites, and also has management rights to 9K+ U.S. sites (mostly rooftop assets) and property interests in another 800.
- The deal is expected to close in Q4, and will increase the size of AMT's debt load to $10.3B (offset by just $1B in cash/investments). The announcement comes a month after AMT announced an $811M Mexican/Brazilian tower purchase/lease-back deal with NII Holdings (NIHD +1.4%), and 10 months after it reached a deal to buy 2K German cell sites from KPN for $502M. NII has additional tower assets that could be on the block.
- In July, Muddy Waters criticized the accounting behind an earlier Brazilian tower purchase by AMT. The company strongly refuted Muddy Waters' claims.
Aug. 6, 2013, 10:36 PM
- The WSJ reports private cell tower owner Global Tower Partners "is being shopped to larger rivals." Analysts think the company could fetch $4B.
- Global Tower, owned by funds managed by Australian i-bank Macquarie, owns/operates/leases 16K cell sites, 6.4K of which are in the U.S., Mexico, and Costa Rica.
- Publicly-traded tower owners American Tower (AMT - $27.8B market cap), Crown Castle (CCI - $20.5B), and SBA (SBAC - $9.5B) have all shown a willingness to grow their footprints via M&A (I, II, III).
- The recent performance of their shares could make a deal easier to come by. Likewise, the higher valuations being assigned to tower owners (fueled by expectations 4G investments/mobile traffic growth will keep demand strong) could be motivating Macquarie to put Global Tower on sale.
Jun. 21, 2012, 6:02 AM
American Tower (AMT), Crown Castle (CCI) and P-E firms have made second-round bids for T-Mobile USA's (DTEGF.PK) cellular towers, Bloomberg reports. "I expect they will announce a winner in July and probably close the deal by September," says Macquarie analyst Kevin Smithen, who estimates that the assets could fetch $2B.| Jun. 21, 2012, 6:02 AM
Dec. 16, 2011, 8:50 AM
Crown Castle International (CCI) buys privately-owned NextG Networks for $1B to help boost its portfolio of distributed antenna systems. The deal is expected to close in Q2 and be funded with debt financing.| Dec. 16, 2011, 8:50 AM

The Nigerian striker has been suspended for three games after alleged aggressive behaviour towards the referee Vishnu Chauhan on Derby day....It is true that many footballers praise God when they reach a milestone. But Mohun Bagan's Odafa Okolie has extended this faith by claiming that God will punish the referee Vishnu Chauhan for lying about the striker's aggressive advances in the Kolkata Derby on December 9, 2012. The Nigerian striker was sent off in the match, when the team was trailing to Harmanjot Khabra's goal, and resulted in the match descending into chaos.
"I never touched the referee or said any bad words. He is lying. God will punish him, and in this life only. If he is not punished, God will punish his family," cursed the Nigerian during an interaction with mediapersons after Bagan's practice session on Wednesday.
"There should be a disciplinary committee for referees. There are quite a few good and mature referees in India. I enjoy playing when they are in charge," the 27-year old added. Pratap Singh, who officiated the first leg of the I-League's Kolkata Derby, came in for praise from the former Churchill Brothers player.
|Odafa has hit out at Derby referee Vishnu Chauhan
The Mariners were subsequently banned from the I-League till 2015. However appeals from all quarters of the country convinced the All India Football Federation (AIFF) to revoke the ban and impose a fine of Rs 2 crore on the Green and Maroon. Odafa was issued a show cause notice at the start of January to respond on why the AIFF shouldn't take further action on the Nigerian apart from the usual norm of a two-match suspension.
The federation went on to ban Odafa for one more game and slapped a Rs 1.5 lakh fine on the striker.
The 27-year old accepted the decision and praised the way the AIFF handled the whole issue. "Chairman (of the Disciplinary Committee of the AIFF) NA Khan, especially, is a very nice person and spoke to me like a father. Whatever they have decided, I am okay with it," said Odafa.
Mohun Bagan, who have to resume their league season with no points, have 15 games to avoid relegation. The team which is so dependant on Odafa will need to find a way to get the required results. The Mariners lost to Salgaocar FC 2-0 on their return to the I-League during Round 17 and will be facing Nathan Hall's depleted and demoralized United Sikkim who were at the receiving end of a 7-0 drubbing at the hands of Armando Colaco's Dempo SC.
"It is a difficult situation for us, but we have to do our best. We have to win the match (against United Sikkim). I am looking to come back and help the team," said Odafa.
"It's quite a big challenge. I have never been in a situation like this before," signed off the Nigerian.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) -- With nearly eight months to go until the November election, Gov. Jerry Brown reported Monday that he has raised nearly $20 million for his re-election campaign, far outpacing the two leading Republican candidates competing for the right to challenge him.
In a quarterly campaign finance report, the Democratic governor's campaign said it had $19.7 million in the bank as of mid-March, much of it raised from corporations and unions.
One of the GOP candidates, former U. S. Treasury official Neel Kashkari, reported raising more than $1.3 million since announcing his candidacy in January. He has $900,000 cash on hand.
He reported spending $527,000, including more than $210,000 so far this year, for campaign consultants and staff.
"As Neel continues traveling around the state talking with Californians about the issues that are important to them, it is clearer than ever that he is the right candidate with the right platform to hold Governor Brown accountable for his failed leadership," his campaign manager, Pat Melton, said in a statement.
The other top Republican seeking the office, Assemblyman Tim Donnelly of Twin Peaks, had until midnight Monday to file his report on fundraising and spending.
The primary in June will be the first gubernatorial contest held under California's new format in which the top two vote-getters move on to the November general election regardless of their party affiliation. Given Brown's name recognition and the Democratic Party's large statewide edge in voter registration, he is expected to have little trouble advancing to the runoff.
This year's race is expected to be far less costly than the 2010 gubernatorial contest, when Brown's campaign spent $36.5 million in his successful bid, and the campaign of former eBay CEO Meg Whitman spent $178.5 million. Of that, about $144 million came from Whitman's personal fortune.
Brown also was aided in 2010 by at least $26 million in spending by independent groups that supported him, mostly labor unions.
In Monday's filing, Brown reported expenditures of $156,000, including $60,000 spent on his behalf for fundraisers and polling. He has paid $30,000 to his campaign consulting firm, SCN Strategies, and $25,000 to political adviser Ned Ruthrauff, who also serves as a director in the office of the governor.

Hi. I think I've come to step 4 in the detailed instructions. I'm told to upload the directory to the "root directory" at my host (Network Solutions). None of the two (default?) folders there are named "root directory", but "cgi-bin" and "htdocs". Which (if any) of these two folders are to be considered "root"?
Also; I've downloaded a template (atahualpa). I haven't customized it and don't know exactly how to proceed; any advice?

Hello kelly demery! Here's a quick video on how you can duplicate your character rig, as well as an alternative workflow that you can use in order to reference your character rig into your scene. Hope it helps!
Here's a link to the Introduction to Character Rigging in Maya course that was referenced in the video.

text: NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- After attracting the attention of major news outlets, a petition asking the Metropolitan Opera to dedicate its season opening gala to the world's gay and lesbian community, as a counter measure to strict antigay laws enacted in Russia, could easily pass 10,000 signatures before the Sept. 23 gala. An interview I had with its author, New Jersey composer Andrew Rudin, was published in an article on TheStreet Aug. 2. At that time, the petition was just beginning to gain notice on Facebook ( FB), and had just over 200 signatures. By Aug. 5, it had broken 1,000. By the time the New York Times published its article Aug. 20, the total had grown to over 3,000. At last check 8 a.m. Friday, the petition had close to 7,000. To put that in perspective, the opera house seats about 3,800. The Met and one of the Russian opera stars involved in the performance have both issued tepid responses that have left signers of the petition unsatisfied. In addition to the New York Times, most of the world's media outlets have picked up the story, including NPR, the LA Times and others. Rudin posted on Facebook Thursday that he has had interviews with Radio Free Europe, German Public Radio and CBS News as well. Homosexuality has been legal in Russia since 1993, but circumstances for LGBT people have been worsening in recent years. Gay pride parades and other pro-LGBT demonstrations had been outlawed in several cities, with the official reasoning being to prevent mob attacks on gay people. In June and July of 2013, Putin's administration enacted laws barring 1.) the adoption of children by same sex couples living in countries that recognize gay marriage and 2.) the dissemination of gay "propaganda," which apparently includes any open displays of support for LGBT people. The stated purpose of these laws is the protection of children. Homosexuality is widely viewed in Russia as a moral corruption by external influences. In particular, the Russian Orthodox Church views gay rights as literally a sign of the apocalypse. In outlawing displays of support for LGBT people, legislators used language that equates homosexuality and pedophilia and says that making homosexuality attractive or equating it with heterosexuality undermines the sovereign integrity of the state. Even arguments for sexual preference equality in a court of law can be punished. Violations of the "propaganda" law may involve fines, jail time of up to two weeks and, for foreigners, deportation. The laws have caused an international outcry, not the least because they seem to have further demonized gays in the public mind and increased violence against them. The Met Enters, Stage Left As the result of a programming decision made, in all likelihood, years ago, the Metropolitan Opera finds itself unwittingly and increasingly a focus of that anger.
