Talk:British rule in Burma
|This article is of interest to the following WikiProjects:
Text on the Burmese nationalist movement[edit]
This page is about British rule in Burma, and, I believe, it should focus on that; the text on the Burmese nationalist movement should go into the Nationalist movement in Burma page, which remains a stub. Fowler&fowler«Talk» 20:11, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
Colonial India template[edit]
Imperial entities of India
|Dutch India
|Danish India
|French India
Portuguese India
|Casa da Índia
|Portuguese East India Company
British India
|East India Company
|Company rule in India
|British Raj
|British rule in Burma
|Princely states
|Partition of India
Since Burma was in British India until 1937, I have also added the Colonial India to the article (below the History of Myanmar template). If you don't like the template, or would like to move it up or down, or don't want it in the article at all, please let me know here. Regards, Fowler&fowler«Talk» 15:07, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
Merge British Imperialism in Burma/Myanmar and British rule in Burma[edit]
I would say merge British Imperialism in Burma/Myanmar into British rule in Burma and highlight the issues of imperialism in that article. Gryffindor (talk) 15:35, 5 October 2010 (UTC)
- Agree Fyunck(click) (talk) 19:01, 31 March 2011 (UTC)
- As the only opinion was in agreement I have merged a large part of the content of the imperialism article into the British rule one. Please comment if you have any views on the changes or the text left behind.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 16:03, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
The article seems to give a very one-sided negative account of the ramifications of British rule. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 126.96.36.199 (talk) 13:05, 18 November 2011 (UTC)
I agree - and it contains a great number of biased assumptions. Not good enough wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.108.40.206 (talk) 00:55, 6 December 2012 (UTC)

Requested move[edit]
Anglo Military Occupation and Burmese Authority Government → British rule in Burma – This controversial subject was moved today without any talk at all. It was then moved a second time and a robot fixed the double redirect so that I can't move it back. It should be done asap and the subject of moving talked about before taking such action again.

"I really enjoyed your set up. You do have wonderful kids… They are enjoying themselves so much that I really enjoyed them thoroughly!"
–Deborah Dion, CSA
"Thank you for your dedication to your Reel Actors students! As parents, that is what we hope for in a teacher and you have helped Whitney immensely! She has nothing but respect for you and all that you have done for her. Your guidance and friendship through her journey is priceless and for that we are grateful."
–Stacy Harris, Parent
"I thought last night's workshop was really great! The atmosphere of professionalism and support that you establish is really unique and brings out the best in everyone. I personally was feeling very flat and unconnected, but I felt pretty good at the end of the evening, and a lot of that had to do with the high level of performance on everyone's part!!"
–Suzanne Dean, Reel Actor
"I love your workshops. Not only do I get to perform in front of some of some of my favorite casting directors but I always leave your Classes feeling loved."
–Emma Engle, Actor
"I took a private lesson with you back in April, and worked on the Francis Coppola sides with you; Michelle De Long referred me. I had what i considered one of my best auditions thanks to you…You brought so much clarity and excitement to the piece; I had such a wonderful time working one on one with you. I'm moving to Los Angeles in June, and cannot wait to start attending your classes!"
–Lauren Analla, Reel Actor
"Andrew's bookings are all thanks to Diane and the gang! Enrolling in Diane's Next Generation Class was the best decision we made for getting started in the business!"
–Omar Loza, Parent
"Our 7 year old daughter, Abigail Zoe Lewis, studies with Diane Christiansen and has been a student of Diane's for over a year now. Abigail has participated in many different types of classes/workshops that the elite acting school offers including Actors Platform, Agent Quest and her Disney Workshop. My wife and I consistently find that the coaching/teaching at Diane Christiansen's school is nothing short of stellar!
Abigail booked an episodic role on Criminal Minds directly from Diane's Actor Platform even before Abigail had an agent. Abigail also now has representation with Abrams Artists Agency because of Diane Christiansen's Agent Quest. I feel compelled to also share: that there is a fundamental reason why so many students study at Diane Christiansen's acting studio; there is a reason why there are so many students of different ages; there is a reason why students take so many different types of classes offered at her school; and there is a reason why acting students and acting professionals keep coming back year after year. The reason is Diane Christiansen.
If you are looking for a place to hone your or your child's acting skills, an acting school that offers a multitude of different types of FUN classes, an encouraging/positive and supportive environment, an acting program that brings in both the very TOP Agents and TOP Casting Directors for you to be seen – and maybe even be "discovered"…well, you've found it here! We love you Diane!"
–David and Laura Lewis, Parents
"McCarrey really feels he gets more from Private Coaching with you than he has gained from any other classes or training he has taken, so please know we really value you and your work with him."
–Rand Wiseman, Parent
"I just wanted to say thank you so much for working with Mackenzie and for letting her come your Screen Teens class. She loved class so much and the other students. Tonight she cried when we got in the car because she was so sad to leave and will not be able to come back next week!! She took quite a few classes while we were here and loved you the most!! In the future I will definitely call you to Skype with her!"
–Leslie Roberts, Parent
"Thanks for a wonderful experience that Alianna truly enjoyed. She loves sharing her passion for acting with you and feels she progresses in her craft each time she steps into your class. Alianna leaves your Next Generation class beaming with positive energy and excitement. We can't thank you enough!"
–Alicia Medlen, Parent
"Alaina really enjoyed Agent Quest on Monday night. Thank you for a great opportunity and a special experience for her. She was encouraged with the experience she gained and is ready to do more and keep learning. Thank you for all your effort and support you give to the children. Alaina loves the knowledge and confidence she is attaining. Thank you Diane and Co.!"
–Karin Tucker, Parent
"My son is in Diane's weekly "Screen Teens" class at Secret Rose and Diane is his persoanl coach and our friend. Her insights are so enlightening, we consider her the 'Best of the Best'!"
–Kathy Custino, Parent
"Diane is so spiritually in tune with her own instrument and her gift of teaching that she ignites and nurtures the passion for acting within each soul."
–Jonathan George, Pop Sensation/Next Big Star
"Diane Christiansen is a resource, a teacher, and a friend to everyone with whom she works. Her holistic techniques leave the student not only a better actor, but a better person as well. I have seen students enter her class scattered and leave focused, poised, and enthusiastic about the industry."
–Rachel Galvin, Talent Manager/The ESI Network
"Diane possesses expertise in front of and behind the camera. She directed my audition reel and coached me privately for a TV pilot. I have been selected as a talk show host finalist for Network TV."
–Irma Breakfield, The Breakfield Report
"Diane Christiansen is a wonderful coach. She has a masterful way of communicating with actors that makes the difference in getting both callbacks and increasing our bookings!!"
–Nelson Parks, The ESI Network
"When it occurred to me that I would be teaching a class in front of hundreds of people, talking , I went into a panic. After the anxiety attack settled, I called my sons' acting coach, Diane Christiansen and asked if perhaps taking a class or two would help me get over my phobia of getting up in front of people. Not only did her adult class help, I went on to teach many more classes and even went so far as to being cast in my first ever theatrical acting role. Because of Diane and her class, I just might take up acting the second half of my life. Move over Meryl Streep!"
–Stacey Powells, Radio Show Personality
"Since starting Diane's classes a year ago, I have booked several National commercials and have gotten called back for at least 90% of my theatrical auditions. Being new to the industry, I didn't really understand a lot of things about acting. But, Diane's classes have me excited every week to see what the new adventure will be . . . and the on camera experience is way . . . cool."
–Chaz James (13), "Drink Sunny D"
"In Diane's Classes I have learned a lot and have had a lot of fun, plus I have really progressed in my craft. I remember writing for the Screen Teens class … I wrote a lot of scenes. Two actors did my scene. I didn't know they were doing it til I heard the first line. It was absolutely amazing seeing my scene performed on stage for a showcase. It was just like, WOAH… THAT'S AWESOME. I really enjoyed watching my work played out for agents and mgrs and casting directors. It was a little scary because I didn't know how the audience would react and how the actors would feel, but they played it out exactly as I wrote it and envisioned it. It was just so cool! Diane is amazing and she is really passionate in what she does… which is GREAT!"
–Mary Ann Springer(15)
"My name is Morgan Mrohs and I'm 13 years old. I am enrolled in Diane's" Screen Teen" class and have been for over two months. I came into the class knowing practically nothing about acting and how much preparation and work goes into acting. Diane has taught me so much about the process of finding your character, the difference of on-camera acting and stage acting, and how important an actor's objective is. Without this class I would be so inexperienced and clueless about everything it takes. I didn't even understand there was an acting process! Now I can proudly say that I understand the "tricks" of acting, the process of finding your character, the importance of method acting, and the art of cold reading. Diane's class is amazing and I couldn't have learned what I have in any other class, or from any other teacher. In short, Diane as a person is simply amazing."
—Morgan Mrohs (13)
"Just thought I would get back to you on my audition you coached me for. It went very well. Again, I just wanted to thank you. Your notes are right on and I feel confident when I go in to read. You're very good at what you do. I can see why you are so in demand."
— Lou Richards, Actor
"Diane Christiansen has been my daughter's acting coach for many years now. I trust in Diane's abilities and her honesty toward performers. I am frequently recommending her to people who are interested in the business from beginners to seasoned veterans. She has won many awards and has the life experiences that she brings together with her integrity and character to provide a wonderful service to actors of all ages! Whether you have Diane on your team as a permanent coach or you stop in for the occasional coaching tidbits, she will prepare you for anything you may face in your acting career!"
–Sherri Hill, Parent
"Well, again I must sing your praises. Danielle performed in the school Talent show on Wed and Thurs. She was one of the M.C.'s . She received so many compliments on how well she performed . 'She's so comfortable.' 'She so natural'. 'She looked as if she was really enjoying herself'. 'Does she act professionally?' 'You should put her in commercials.' 'Her personality really jumps out.' 'She should try out for plays, She is way better than what I've seen at the local Community Theater'… These are just a few things. All night people kept coming up to me giving me wonderful sincere compliments!
It brought tears to my eyes to see her having so much fun and being so comfortable in front of people, especially her friends; which you know tend to be the hardest critics. I will never be able to repay for you bringing out such wonderful qualities in Danielle. All her performing success will always be contributed to your wonderful teaching skills, enthusiasm, respect, care, patience and personal interest in your students. You are and angel from heaven for performers.
With sincere gratitude…."
Kathleen Connolly (Mom of 10 yr old)

Ask Americans what Fiat stands for, and the odds are pretty low that you'll hear, "Fabbrica Italiana Automobili Torino" to be the answer. The more far likely response is "Fix It Again, Tony." The ignominious moniker comes from the brand's stint selling often unreliable models in the US in the '60s and '70s, and it remains in some minds today. However, Fiat thinks the time is right to challenge the old stereotype, and it's doing just that with a new commercial for the forthcoming 500X compact cro

Fiat may treat Abarth as a trim level on the 500 in the United States, but overseas it's a bona fide performance brand. The thing is that, since the demise of the Punto Abarth (and with performance versions of the Panda and 500L ruled out), the Scorpion marque has been reduced to tuning only versions of the standard Cinquecento. But that could be about to change.

The Fiat 500 keeps getting bigger. Ron Arad aptly pointed out that much with his special-edition hatchback, but even in its modern incarnation, it just keeps growing: from the three-door hatch to the five-seat 500L, the ruggedized 500L Trekking, the seven-seat 500L Living and now the long-awaited 500X. Sure, it may be smaller than most crossovers, but it's positively huge by Cinquecento standards – a good third larger than the original whose spirit it embodies.

It's been a long time coming, but it's finally here. It's the new Fiat 500X: the rounder, somehow even more retro version of the Jeep Renegade. Joining an ever-expanding Cinquecento lineup alongside the 500, 500C and 500L, the new 500X is – to our eyes at least – the most handsome yet... better looking, at any rate, than the somewhat ungainly Mini Countryman. But despite its more fluid lines, the new 500X is barely any longer than the Renegade and only slightly less tall.

One of the expected debuts at next month's Paris Motor Show will be the alleged platform-mate to the upcoming Jeep Renegade. That car, the Fiat 500X, has been subject to a fair share of speculation and spy photos, but Fiat has been mostly quiet on the matter. That is, until now.

The Fiat assembly plant in Melfi, Italy, may not be one that appears on our radar that often. It's been in operation since 1993, but until recently only built the Punto – a model that's been around in its current form with few modifications for the better part of a decade, but hasn't warranted the transatlantic voyage to American showrooms. Fiat recently added to the Punto assembly line in Melfi the production of the new Jeep Renegade, but that's not all.

BROOKLYN, Mich. ñ Are there gremlins under the Toyota hoods?
Kyle Busch, Matt Kenseth and Martin Truex had Sprint Cup races cut short by engine failure within the last three NASCAR weekends.
Clint Bowyer knows the feeling.
The engine in his No. 15 Toyota gave way 10 races ago in California.
ìEverybody knows where weíre at, whatís going on,î Bowyer said Friday at Michigan International Speedway.
Next for the Sprint Cup Series is a race at repaved MIS, where brakes are rarely tapped during laps that approach 200 mph around a 2-mile oval.
The Quicken Loans 400 is scheduled to go 200 laps Sunday.
ìTwo hundred laps is going to mean a lot of different things,î Bowyer said when asked what could influence the outcome of the race. ìYou never know whatís going to be the winning combination at this race track.
ìAnytime your speeds are up that high, those (engines) are singing a pretty high tune,î Bowyer continued. ìYouíre really ringing them out on a track like that.
ì(Itís) hard on the drive train and things like that, and the engine attrition is always a big part of this.î
Bowyer, 34, has not won a race this season, but he is in good shape with regard to the Chase, NASCARís playoff setup.
He is third in points, behind Jimmie Johnson and Carl Edwards, who drive for Chevrolet and Ford, respectively.
Bowyer is 57 points ahead of 10th place, the last position guaranteed a spot in the Chase.
ìWhere weíre at in the points,î Bowyer said, ìa DNF (did not finish) hurts you way, way worse than a win could ever possibly help you.î
Bowyer is in his second season driving for Michael Waltrip Racing.
He won three races in 2012, and finished second to Brad Keselowski in the final points standings.
He was proud to have finished ahead of Johnson, a five-time series champion.
This year, Bowyer is the highest-standing Toyota driver, one of three with that manufacturer in the top 10.
Kenseth, who drives the No. 20 car and has three wins, is sixth. Busch, driver of the No. 18, has two wins and is seventh.
Toyotaís engine department briefed the drivers a few days ago.
ìThey Ö gave us some (intelligence) and some insight on whatís going on,î Bowyer said. ìI love that.
ìAs long as you know whatís going on, know what to expect Ö Iím fine with that.î
Last week at Pocono, Toyota had no drivers finish in the top five. Three Camrys finished in the top 15. Truex wound up 23rd in the No. 56 car.
ìSo guys made some adjustments back home in the shop,î Bowyer said. ìIt seems they woke the cars up a little bit.î
Bowyer qualified 27th for Sundayís race.
Kenseth, who was eighth, and Busch, ninth, led Toyota qualifiers.
Bowyer finished seventh in both MIS races last year.
ìI donít think we are exactly where we need to be right now with the (Generation) 6 car,î Brian Pattie, Bowyerís crew chief said. ìSo if we (leave MIS) with the same results as last year, I would be tickled pink.î
NOTES: Officials from MIS, Chevrolet, Ford and Toyota announced a manufacturers trophy will be awarded to the auto maker that wins each Michigan race each year. The first will be awarded in August. Ö Jason Leffler, who drove in the NASCAR truck, Nationwide and Sprint Cup series, was killed in a sprint car accident in New Jersey on Wednesday. He was on the minds of several drivers at MIS. ìIím still kind of in shock about it all,î Brad Keselowski said. Ö Tony Stewart had to go to his backup No. 14 Chevrolet after his primary car hit a wall during practice. He qualified 14th for Sundayís race. Ö Kasey Kahne had the fastest practice time, and then qualified third in the No. 5 Chevrolet. Ö Austin Dillon drove the No. 3 Chevrolet to the fastest lap during Nationwide practice. Dillon went 190.789 mph. The Nationwide race is Saturday. Joey Logano won last yearís race. Ö Trevor Bayne, Kyle Busch, Austin Dillon and Paul Menard are among the drivers who will compete in the Sprint Cup and Nationwide races.

I suppose you could call me a "right-wing extremist," although I don't consider myself an extremist by any stretch of the imagination. But that's the way the liberals have labeled us, and since they control so much of the printed and electronic media we have no choice but to roll with their punches. I am an individualist as opposed to a collectivist. As a writer, I willingly spend a lot of time alone at my word-processor. In the old days, it was the typewriter. Today it is the much more accommodating word-processor. But in my case, individualism was the reason why I could work so well alone. I was by no means a loner, but I never minded being alone with my thoughts, or while writing, or reading a book, visiting a museum, or traveling to new cities. I've always had good friends, but I also enjoy my own company.
Poverty in America?Written by Walter E. Williams
According to CBS News, "the number of people in the U.S. living in poverty in 2010 rose for the fourth year in a row, representing the largest number of Americans in poverty in the 52 years since such estimates have been published by the U.S. Census Bureau." MSNBC said, "The U.S. poverty rate remains among the highest in the developed world." Let's look at a few poverty facts.
Will Republicans Blow It?Written by Thomas Sowell
Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes said that a good catch phrase could stop thinking for 50 years. One of the often-repeated catch phrases of our time — "It's the economy, stupid!" — has already stopped thinking in some quarters for a couple of decades.
Not long ago, factions on both sides of the political aisle — from Republican Senator Charles Grassley in 1994, to liberal Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer in 2008 — viewed allegations of massive prying by government agencies, which purportedly tracked the personal information and activities of private citizens, as lunatic-fringe alarmism. But in the aftermath of United States v. Jones last week, even former skeptics are worried that the proverbial boat has sailed.
The real scandal in the accusations against Herman Cain is the corruption of the law, the media and politics.


text:
They beat New Jersey last year because J-Kidd was hurt; they beat the Lakers last year because Malone was hurt; they beat Indiana this year because Artest was exiled and JO was hurt; the only reason they beat Miami was because Shaq was hurt and D-Wade got hurt.
Notice the pattern?
And even with the win last night, there were whispers. Whispers that Chauncey may not have heard. The only reason they won tonight was because Manu got hurt
Careless whispers. As if the Pistons are never going to dance again.
But one-two step they will, because remember he asked for this.
It was past midnight and Chauncey's night was just ending.
Every person who got interviewed after the game was asked a question about him.
Rip: "Chauncey, like yourself, seemed to be very offensive-minded tonight " Duncan: "Talk about the guard play for the Pistons, especially Chauncey " Popovich: "Tell us how Chauncey controlled the game " Coach Brown: "How important is it to get Chauncey going because it seemed that there was a stretch tonight where he really got his offense going "
Even he got asked.
"Talk about the surge you had, the main run you had (at the end of the half). You strive on being Mr. Big Shot "
"I've got to pick my spots really when to be aggressive and when not to," he responded to the room half-filled with people. "I a lot of times kind of take it on my shoulders to get us out of ruts."
Season ruts, series ruts, game ruts. It doesn't matter. Last night was all about him.
But he left the Palace not thinking of any of this, not trying to hear what anyone said, not falling into any media or Spurs traps, not feeling himself.
Again, "This is not a beauty contest," is how his mind works.
He just staged left in his André Holliday custom black four-button two-piece.
That's when I saw him. He wrapped his arm around my shoulder, as he has after every game.
We walked.
His team's now down 2-1, and I could see it in his face, so I asked: "You're happy now, aren't you? Your backs are still against the wall and you're happy?"
And just like the laid-back brotha from Denver that I've known since high school, who still has the most beautiful wife in the NBA, who at an All-Star game in D.C. came to chill with a bunch of regular fellas from Howard at a hotel party instead of doing the A-list Puffy-invite thing, he calmly said back to me, "Oh yeah, no doubt, no doubt. This was a must-win for us, but we gotta do the same thing on Thursday."
Then that smile came across his face, just at the thought of Game 4.
Maybe he is that good.
"You know me, Scoop," he said before I didn't see him again. "This is the way I like it."

Epilepsy Health Center
Questions About Medicines for Epilepsy - Topic Overview
How will the medicine react with other medicines I take? continued...
If you have several types of seizures, you may need to take more than one medicine to control them. The doctor will work with you to choose medicines that will neither work against each other nor make side effects worse. If you take medicine for health problems other than epilepsy, the doctor should choose an antiepileptic medicine that will not react badly with your other medicine. This is a special concern for older people, who are more likely to be taking several medicines.
Some antiepileptic medicines can make birth control pills less effective and make a woman more likely to become pregnant. A woman taking birth control pills may need to change the dosage or use a different type of birth control.
How much will the treatment cost?
The costs of medicines vary. Epilepsy often requires many years of treatment. If you can, choose a medicine that you will be able to afford over the long run. High costs may make you less likely to stay on your treatment plan.
Try to keep the total costs in mind. Medicine may be expensive, especially with some of the newer antiepileptic medicines. But successful treatment may also help you lower your total costs by reducing doctor visits, hospitalization, and missed work time. A medicine that controls your seizures and does not cause many side effects may be worth the cost.
What if I become pregnant? How will the medicine affect me and my baby?
All medicines for epilepsy have some risk of birth defects. But the risk of birth defects needs to be carefully compared to other risks to the baby if the mother stops taking her epilepsy medicine. If you are thinking about becoming pregnant, it is important to plan ahead and talk with your doctor about the benefits and risks of taking epilepsy medicine during your pregnancy. It you are already pregnant, it is not too late. The best thing to do is talk to your doctor about your pregnancy before you make any changes to the medicines you are taking.
Although most women with epilepsy deliver healthy babies, the risk of birth defects, stillbirth, and seizure problems is higher for women who have epilepsy. Most antiepileptic medicines increase the risk even more, but stopping use of the medicine is not always the best solution. You may start having more seizures if you stop taking your medicine, and having seizures during pregnancy can harm the baby.

some kids did that after waiting in line for the original iPad. of course they bought an iPad they didn't smash to keep. some people think they're demonstrating anti-consumerism by pulling pranks like this. that's like demonstrating against hunger in developing nations by throwing away uneaten fresh food in wealthy nations. anyway, i think most of these people lack any philosophical convictions. it's just a dumb stunt.

Instead of wasting 400 dollars smashing your system, why not hand out that money to the people in line? That way they could buy another game if they wanted to. That would get more reactions
I hope he got a fine for littering

This guy probably ordered his for-keeps PS4 from Amazon back in June and then stood in line to buy an in-stock unit or pick up a second preorder, did his little fake social consciousness thing, then went home and waited by the door all day for the delivery guy to turn up with the console he'll keep.

I have smashed the PS3 20 gb fat model in the same way in my living room in 2008. This man was doing it in front of a crowd and he was obviously doing it to grab attention, he might not have been actually angry. But i got indignant of the ps3 when it was constantly resetting itself in the middle of a game since few days. I could've plugged it off and sent it for repair but i lost my cool one day and shred the turd to pieces. I had bought it brand new for 600 usd in 2006.

Call me crazy but when my 360 died out of warranty with a graphics card failure and MS refused to fix it under the extended warranty because it was missing one lighted segment of the RROD -- they later added that one's fail code to the extended warranty -- I sold the whole works to Gamestop, and even broken I got $250. I decided to stick with my PS3 until MS worked out the hardware problems. Then I soon wound up with a free press unit -- which did eventually, after years, RROD, too -- and didn't actually have to buy a replacement 360 for a long time. By then they worked.

Eh, his loss. Everyone else in line will be enjoying their console.
11-15-2013 #21
Happens every console release. Some people looking to shock viewers smash one to varied results. The guys that got a launch $600 PS3 and then smashed it in front of the rest in line? All his buddies thought it was hilarious and it made its rounds but was almost unanimously given the "what a d-bag" treatment. Same for the guy that tossed a 360 out of his window supposedly hours after buying it and it RROD. SO stupid.

As I've found somewhere on web, following items can lead to memory leaks. For example:
- ResultSets and Statement objects
- DataLists
- Collections
- Static variables and classes
- Singletons
- HttpSession and HttpRequest
Managed beans in my JSF application are mostly
@ViewScoped, so I thought that after leaving the view, GC has enough informations to release datalists, objects, and so on. But it hasn't or not completelly:
I'm just closing hibernate sessions manually (using finally), but that's all. The rest of things I've expected from GC.
Could you tell me,
- how to find which concrete objects are staying in memory?
- how to release objects after leaving a view manually? something like destructor..?
- what are the best practices in handle memory leaks?

CHOWCHILLA, Calif. (AP) -- With California in a third dry year, well drilling is booming across the nation's most productive agricultural region, and some drilling companies are booked for months or a year.
Farmers expect to get a fraction _ if any _ of the water they need from vast government-controlled systems of canals and reservoirs interlacing the state. So they are drilling hundreds of feet deep to tap underground water supplies.
The scarcity of irrigation water has created such a demand for well drilling services that Central Valley farmer Bob Smittcamp is taking matters into his own hands.
He's buying a drilling rig for $1 million to make certain he has enough water this summer for thousands of acres of crops. He calls it an insurance policy, and Smittcamp says he's not alone.

Historical Traveler Reviews Lime Tree Bay Resort Motel Long Key
Beware- Very misleading
We had reservations for 4 nights and as soon as I pulled in the "resort", I knew we were in trouble.The Lime Tree Resort ( we were going to stay in the "tree-house suite") is a dirty, beat up , run down place that I can recommend to anyone. I will give them credit and thanks for a full refund.
A disapointment
The web site is misleading. The property is not as large as it appears. The beach is particularly disappointing. This is definately a 2 diamond resort and the staff told us when we first arrived that next year there will be NO AAA discount. Although it was peaceful, you could do better in this part of the Keys. The restaurant next store served average food, just don't be in any hurry for that second cup of coffee. I would suggest the Hampton Inn just down the road. On the plus side the staff was friendly and the property was well kept.
A Tropical Paradise
Spent 3 beautiful nights there in March of 2004. Planning on going back next year for a week. A peaceful, tranquil resort with a exceptionally friendly and helpful staff. Rooms were cheerfully decorated and very clean. Daily maid service by awesome staff. Palm trees, hammocks, pool, hot tub, pier, grills, small beach, lots of lounging chairs, tiki huts etc. Even though this resort is small it is well worth visiting if you want some R&R...great restaurant next door. Did not want for anything. Terrific sunsets, no overcrowding. Some of the guests have been returning year after year and now we know why. This resort deserves 5 Star.....
Just returned from the Keys after a beautiful 5 days, 4 nights. I traveled with my daughter to get a little sun and relaxation. I was not expecting a luxury resort by any means, but, I must say, after reading a couple of very flattering reviews for the Limetree was looking forward to four nights in a little bit of paradise. We were very disappointed. I should have paid attention to the "2 star" AAA rating. The review that particularly excited us said that The Limetree Bay Resort, in Layton, Long Key, was "the finest budget place to stay in the Keys", that they "could easily charge twice as much for its sparkling rooms" (our feet were black after walking on the tile floor in our room barefoot for only a few minutes), it had a "great pool and jacuzzi" (pretty rundown) and a "sandy sunning beach"(more like a sand box) and had "the look and feel of a small luxe resort". NOT!! I must say that the staff were lovely,apologized, and they did refund my money for two nights that we did not stay there (we went elsewhere). This place absolutely has the potential to be all of the above, but I'm afraid has a way to go.
Bad location
The best thing I can say is that the rooms were clean. The staff wasn't interested in answering any questions becuase I booked online through a web site, the bed was on wheels, and the location isn't convenient to anything. If you want a clean room with no amenities in the middle of nowhere this is your place. I'll definitely stay closer to Key West if I ever return to the area.
Only for families
The website for this resort is unfortunately very misleading. My husband and I were expecting something slightly more upscale and instead found a highway motel with a nice view. I would not suggest staying here if relaxation is your goal - this is a family friendly motel. The beach is extremely small and there is little privacy. The owners however are quite hospitable and the staff is friendly.
Not what we thought
First, I must say that our room was beautiful. We stayed in a cottage.
It was clean, modern and had ample space. The kitchen facilities were quite nice. I have no complaint about the interior of the cottage.
However, we were disappointed with the rest of the facility. The "beach" was about a 20' X10' space of obviously deposited sand.
Adjacent to the beach was a still area of water that smelled very badly and I'm no prude about such things. No one would want to go in this water.
The ad described the cottage as being in a secluded garden area. It was not secluded. There was a connected cottage. There was no garden except for a couple of dying potted plants near a shed.
Whoever did the photography is very skilled at putting the best representation forward through editing and angling the picture.
For us, it was not nearly worth the price of paying for a resort for just the room.
Relaxing experience!
Stayed the first weekend in May 2003 for one night. I booked two standard rooms and upon check in found out that we had been upgraded to two king mini-suites with kitchens! The property is older, but appears to have been recently updated. The rooms were kind of dark, but were freshly painted and opened onto a wooden deck that faces the parking lot and across from the lot, the bay. You won't want to spend too much time in the room as the waterfront is so beautiful! They had plenty of lounge chairs and hammocks (all appeared new) set up on the bay front. There is an elevated bay front pool and spa that are also older, but very clean and comfortable. There is a boat/ wave runner rental facility next door, a tasty restaurant out front (breakfast was wonderful!), and a well-stocked convenience store across the street. Although the property entrance is right on the main road, most of the accommodations and bay fron area were away from the road and so quiet that I easily fell asleep in a hammock! I highly recommend Lime Tree and look forward to returning for a laid back, relaxing stay.
We'll be back
Along with several other families, we've been staying at Lime Tree Bay every lobster season for the past five years and expect to continue for the forseeable future. It is clean, well maintained, and the service is impeccable. Whether from the pool deck, or from the patio table in front of your room, the view of the sunset over Florida Bay is world class.
Like most places in the keys, Lime Tree Bay isn't new. The difference here is that the owners (George and Louise) live on site and are constantly reinvesting in the place. Most of the rooms have been remodeled in the past 2 or 3 years. If something breaks or doesn't work, just let Louise know about it in the office, and George is fixing it within an hour. The rooms are cleaned daily and the trash cans around the grounds are emptied continuously.
If you stay at Limetree Bay and you're not happy with the facilities and service, you should probably stay away from the keys. You can find more expensive accomodations, but you won't find anyplace better.
Lovely Lime Tree
Spent three nights at this lovely little resort April 14.Wonderful staff,nice rooms(request 131 second floor cathedral ceiling skylights and beautiful sunsets)Great restaurant nextdoor(Little Italy) Nice family resort.Highly recommend it! Also ate at the Islamorada Fish Company,wonderful food(al fresco)...don't miss the skark feeding at sunset.! Go early to the Islamorada Bakery & Restaurant for their apple strudel and hot out of the oven sticky buns.mmmmmm......

Marines go green: Portable solar power cuts dangerous convoys in Afghanistan
A few years ago, I sat on the Defense Science Board Task Force on DoD Energy Strategy, which took testimony and wrote a report, More Fight "" Less Fuel, on how energy efficiency and renewables makes sense "" and can save lives "" for the military. The findings are here.
Now CAP's Kristen Bartoloni has the story of how the Marines are starting to embrace clean energy for that very reason:
The Department of Defense is the single largest consumer of energy in the United States, much of it going into fuel convoys in the battlegrounds of Iraq and Afghanistan. But the military is taking steps to build a clean energy future.
The Wall Street Journal reports that a company of U.S. Marines in Afghanistan has outfitted their battle gear with solar panels, "replacing hundreds of pounds of spare batteries in their packs with roll-up solar panels the size of placemats to power their battle gear." The India Company was chosen as the pilot company specifically because it was set to deploy in Sangin, one of the deadliest areas of Afghanistan. Solar power allowed the troops to move "faster and farther than before," while cutting down on dangerous supply convoys:
"Use of the solar gear means helicopters don't have to ferry extra batteries to the Marines, and trucks don't have to convoy more fuel for generators. Col. Charette said the gear "has surpassed our expectations." Keeping extra batteries out of packs means the Marines can move faster and farther than before. Fuel use is down at the company's patrol bases, because the solar equipment replaces generators, the military says."
Navy Secretary Ray Mabus has adopted an aggressive renewable energy standard for the Navy – aiming for half of its energy to come from non-fossil fuel sources by 2020, while the Marine Corps wants to cut its fuel use in half by 2025.
Kudos to the Marines and the Navy for understanding the importance of renewables to our future.

What an upside-down fantasy world story.
So what if the military uses solar panels?
They are fighting to monopolize oil and trade.
Their machines run on oil.
They are the most carbon spewing entity on earth.
They are the most polluting entity on earth.
"Marines go green" — balderdash.
Roll-up solar panels, fantastic!
This is one technology disaster relief organisations will stock up on. What an advantage for setting up field hospitals and evacuation centres.
Shelley, previous reports have made it clear that huge amounts of the oil and gasoline that the U.S. military is using right now is trucked in for use in generators wherever U.S. troops are stationed in Iraq and Afghanistan. So it's not vehicles using all the gasoline…it's being used for electricity and cooling. And that can certainly be done with solar or wind energy.
"Marines go green", that's an other way to promote renewable and clean energy. However, I was told that the main reason was the efficiency of this kind of equipment, lighter and troops more able to move and act quicker. I'm not sure that the department of defense wanted to be more eco-friendly.

The delineation of biogeographical units has puzzled scientists for more than two centuries (Lomolino et al., 2004). Among the major scientific aims of biogeography remain the description and explanation of faunal and floral distribution patterns, as well as the identification of centres of high species richness and/or endemism. In Africa, as elsewhere, existing areas of high biodiversity have probably persisted during periods of extensive environmental change, e.g. glacial periods. They are, at least in part, considered to have served as Pleistocene refugia (e.g. Diamond & Hamilton, 1980; Crowe & Crowe, 1982; Mayr & O'Hara, 1986; Grubb, 1992).
Biomes with a high endemicity and/or numbers of threatened species are of special conservation interest, resulting in the identification of 'hotspots', places of elevated endemic and threatened biodiversity. The original hotspot concept was based mainly on data from vascular plants and selected terrestrial vertebrates (Myers, 1988, 1990; Myers et al., 2000). This global approach currently recognizes eight hotspots in Africa, of which the 'Guinean Forests of western Africa' is one. Similar 'hotspot' concepts have been applied in Africa for vascular plants (e.g. Linder, 2001; Küper et al., 2004) and selected animal groups, such as mammals (e.g. Kingdon, 1990; Kreft & Jetz, 2010), birds (e.g. Crowe & Crowe, 1982; De Klerk et al., 2002) and fishes (e.g. Roberts, 1975; Hugueny & Lévêque, 1994) but see e.g. Kareiva & Marvier (2003) for criticism of the concept. Recent collaborative studies have combined a number of different vertebrate taxa (mammals, birds, snakes and amphibians) in order to identify areas in Africa containing high biodiversity (see Hansen et al., 2009 for a comprehensive list of publications). Conservation biologists are embracing biogeographical research in response to the steadily growing human-induced pressures on biodiversity, as well as dwindling conservation resources such as financial and human capital. As a consequence, conservation efforts have to be directed and channelled necessitating hard choices concerning threatened sites and species (e.g. Brooks et al., 2006; Wilson et al., 2006, 2009; Carwardine et al., 2008; Underwood et al., 2008). Consequently, it is necessary and enlightening to relate patterns of diversity not only to biogeography, but also to phylogenies and conservation, environmental, and/or social variables.
Mostly because of the limitations of data availability, many previous studies identified particular hotspots based on a coarse geographic scale, e.g. grid cells of 1°, c. 111 × 111 km at the equator. However, in general, areas used for conservation planning are much smaller (Shriner et al., 2006), and although conservation planning, such as priority setting, can be derived from large scales (Larsen & Rahbek, 2003), a finer resolution often achieves better results (Warman et al., 2004; Hurlbert & Jetz, 2007; Jetz et al., 2007). Although most countries have a conservation network with at least some kind of legal status, gaps in space and taxa remain. It is frequently suggested that these gaps should be closed, but final selection criteria for decision makers are manifold and often include economic priorities. Many protected areas in Africa, for example, are located in less fertile regions, or have other limitations that prevent human settlement or agriculture, e.g. diseases or parasites (Ford, 1971). Whether existing protected areas effectively cover areas of high biodiversity often remains untested, and the knowledge to prioritise areas based on, for example, postglacial colonization routes, historical refugia, barriers, and/or biogeographic units is scarce.
A variety of taxa have been used to approach such questions. Among vertebrates, amphibians have experienced the highest increase in species with Red List status during the last decades (Stuart et al., 2008). Although this could be because of a hidden bias, as complete assessments for fish and reptiles are lacking. In part, their vulnerability stems from the comparatively high habitat specificity of many species and their low mobility. Currently, more than 30% of all amphibian species are threatened and included on the Red List, making amphibians one of the most threatened class of organisms world-wide (Stuart et al., 2004). The main threats are habitat destruction and alteration (e.g. Stuart et al., 2008), and this situation may become worse if forecasted climate changes are correct (Carey & Alexander, 2003; Corn, 2005; Araujo et al., 2006). The combination of habitat specificity, low mobility, and ease of sampling of the group in a standardized manner makes it an ideal biogeographical model group (Zeisset & Beebee, 2008).
For Africa, the highest regional amphibian diversities have been mapped for the Cameroon Highlands and for the 'Eastern Afromontane hotspot' (see Hansen et al., 2009). In these and other publications, West Africa (WA) is frequently also considered a hotspot, although often, either directly or implicitly, regarded as being a subset of the Central African (CA) bioregion (see review by Werger, 1978). For example, Poynton (1999) in a continental analysis of amphibian biogeography stated '… part [of West Africa] could be regarded as a subtraction margin of the fauna of Cameroon.' In this analysis, the whole 'west equatorial' region was subdivided into four blocks: central, south, east and west, the latter comprising WA west of the Dahomey Gap. In another study, Schiøtz (1967) analysed the distributions of reed frogs (Hyperoliidae) and other selected amphibian taxa and identified major zoogeographical barriers in WA by comparing visually the detected barriers to distributions of mammals (mainly primates) and birds. Two main barriers were confirmed: the Dahomey Gap and the Cross River. Throughout these and other studies (cited earlier), the exact delineation of WA biogeographic units with respect to CA appears to be haphazard. This stimulated us to pose four questions that we addressed using a data set of African amphibian assemblages. First, we tested whether a distinct WA bio-region could be defined, or whether the region was a subset of the CA bio-region. Second, if WA was shown to contain unique assemblages, we asked where the boundary between the CA bio-region was geographically located. Third, we examined whether WA displayed sub-regions, comprising smaller, but distinct biogeographical units. Finally, we analysed which factors could cause the observed biogeographic pattern. The overarching goal behind these questions was to discover regions that may require specific conservation measures.

nice tat.
Whoa. It's really good.
"Oh Mickey, you're so fine! You're so fine, you blow my mind! Hey Mickey! Hey, hey! Hey Mickey!" Someone had to do it...
I love the blue on the wig(?); I can't stop staring at it.

Reminds me of Katy Perry. Don't know if that's what you wee going for or not, but yeah... I really like the hair, and the lips. The cigarette and smoke add nice touches. Nice photo!

Congratulation on the Daily Deviation!
I find that less make up makes women more attractive. No offense but she looks like a Raggedy Anne doll, unless that was what you were going for.
Very stunning!!!! I like how it brings a almost childlike atmosphere, but the model herself is not. It's like she's completely happy with her inner child even though she's a rough and tough chick. Good work!
is it just me or there is something wrong with here back?
anyways CONGRATS on the DD !!
anyways CONGRATS on the DD !!
are those tattoos.... photoshopped on her?
I think they are. It's not a bad photo, I mean, I do like it a a lot, but there is also a lot "off" about it. The tattoos, her shoulder being extremely unnatural, and the blush on her cheeks look really fake. <.<
Awesome photography! Great highlight in the hair and I like the smoke from the cigarette. It suits this characters image.
- Congrats on the DD!
Have a nice day!
cool xD
me likey the colors
Wowww!! Incredible!!! the makeup Is really unique and the photo makes it really complete!

Music R&B pioneers finally get paid

When the Dixie Cups learned they would be receiving a Pioneer Award and a fat check from the Rhythm & Blues Foundation, they planned to return some of the money to help soul singers who have fallen on hard times.
They never got the chance.
After the Dixie Cups, The Supremes, Koko Taylor, George Clinton and others were honored at the foundation's annual dinner in February, they went home empty-handed. The foundation didn't have enough money to write any checks, traditionally $20,000 for groups and $15,000 for individuals.
The foundation is finally making amends. Shortly after the February debacle, it mailed the honorees checks for $2,500 and an apology.

A six-minute establishing shot with the camera pointed at the median strip of the freeway doesn't establish much of anything except that the crew is in a foggy foreign country. When two men begin to speak Portuguese, despite the fact that they are wearing parkas, all indications are that the action is in Brazil where she-males read magazines until the real men arrive, whip out their cocks for a blowjob before fucking the she-males in the ass and cumming in their faces. The four female and one male name on the box don't seem to jive with the three she-males and three men on the tape.

Thanks for everything you've done for the organization Grant. I wish you the best.
Those jerseys are sweet looking.
I'm not sure if he'll get traded or not. I'd rather keep but if we could get either a good third base prospect or shortstop and a couple of other pieces it could be tempting.
Bauer 1-1, 5.40 ERA vs Cueto 10-5, 2.39 ERA tonight.
Miley moves to 10-5 on the year with a much needed win over the Reds last night and snaps a three game losing skid.
I've been the only D'backs fan on the board all year. Fans of other teams have popped in from time to time.
Back from the DL Saunders 4-5, 3.44 ERA vs Dempster 4-3, 1.99 ERA. this afternoon.
1-8 loss to the Cubs yesterday. Kennedy just isn't himself this year at 6-8 and a 4.55 ERA.
Kennedy 6-7, 4.26 ERA vs Maholm 6-6, 4.57 ERA this afternoon.
I read something on mlbtraderumors.com today and I guess some decision makers in the organization dont seem crazy about Upton. If we trade him we're looking to get either a third baseman, shortstop,...
Kershaw 6-4, 2.65 ERA vs Collmenter 0-2, 4.41 ERA tonight.
4-1 loss to the Dodgers last night and a six game losing streak. :bang:
Eovaldi 0-5, 4.61 ERA vs Miley 9-4, 2.87 ERA tonight.
A 8-6 loss to the Padres last night and a three game sweep from them.:facepalm:
Thanks for all the memories Steve. I wish you the best.
^^^^ This
Marquis 1-4, 3.06 ERA vs Kennedy 6-7, 4.20 ERA tonight.
Bauer got hammered early in a 9-5 loss to the Padres last night. Back under .500 again (39-41).
Congrats to rookie Wade Miley for making the All-Star team this year. I just voted for Aaron Hill to make the team.
Cashner 3-3, 3.63 ERA vs Bauer 0-0, 4.50 ERA tonight.
Thanks man. I just wish we were playing as good as the Pirates right now. Seven games over .500 and a game back of the Reds I love it.:clap: Still no support yet, but I'll still keep posting.
Miley 9-3, 2.19 ERA vs Fiers 2-2, 2.70 ERA tonight.
Aaron Hill hit for cycle again :clap: in a 9-3 win over the Brewers last night. Kennedy seven innings pitched, one earned run, and seven strike outs.
Kennedy 5-7, 4.42 ERA vs Wolf 2-5, 5.32 ERA tonight.
A 3-2 win over the Braves last night. Bauer 4.0 innings pitched, 5 hits allowed, 2 Runs, 2 ER, 3 walks, 3 strike outs. Chris Young hit a go-ahead solo homer.

President Obama was in North Carolina Monday, drumming up support for his stalled jobs creation plan.
He criticized republicans for blocking the $447 billion bill that he says will put people back to work. Now, the President says he has a new plan for getting lawmakers to vote for the bill.
"We're going to break it up into bite-sized pieces so they can take a thoughtful approach to this legislation. So, this week, I'm going to ask members of Congress to vote on one component of the plan, which is whether we should put hundreds of thousands of teachers back in the classroom, and cops back on the street, and firefighters back to work."
The jobs bill was defeated in the senate last week.

Resident Evil 6 development team numbered over 600
Hiroyuki Kobayashi, executive producer for Resident Evil 6, has said the team working on the latest iteration is the largest ever for a Capcom title.
According to Kobayashi, over 600 people were involved with its development, including 150 members of Capcon HQ in Japan.
Previously, Dragon's Dogma held the title of having a team consisting of 150 members.
It sounds as though the large development team was needed, according to Kobayashi, RE6 has "a larger world and deeper experience than you have played before," all rolled into a "blend of action and survival horror."
You can watch the video of Kobayashi making his statements below and he is followed by the announcement trailer of the game – which you have already seen.
Thanks, Eurogamer.
