The second warning is interesting.

Adding gi.require_version('MatePanelApplet', '4.0') to /mintMenu.py kills the warning, but mintmenu doesn't start.
Also disable all plugins doesn't help.

But they release a new linuxmint version this month, so i don't expect a quick solution.

It's a cable premium movie channel. They show pregramming that even HBO won't touch. Just follow the link to their site.
I think they're partially owned by CBS. CBS let them show the movie after Moonves decided not to show it on CBS's over the air network.
Nina is the stepsister of the wife of a successful literary agent. While at a dinner party hosted by the former, she inadvertently informs an acquaintance, George, that his lover, Robert, is dumping him. After the inevitable confrontation, George takes up Nina's invitation to stay at her place until things cool down. George initially serves a purpose by helping to keep Nina's overbearing boyfriend, Vince, at a distance. What Nina and George don't count on is falling into a type of love. Things are rosy until Nina tells George she is pregnant with Vince's baby. Unable to tell the father, she asks George to stay on to raise the child in place of the real father, Vince.
This is what ABC thinks of family values. Just an FYI for those out there with youngsters, who think a "family channel" is automatically appropriate viewing for your children.
What the hell's my problem?

Actually, if that were the substance of the boycott, then all of Viacom's networks and properties would need to be boycotted.

|Wimbledon Property Sales - August 2011
Activity at top end of market slows sharply
According to the latest data released on the local property market, prices in the SW19 area have drifted off further over the Summer month.
The average sale in SW19 reported in August took place at £414,675. This is down sharply from the levels seen in 2010 when the average price in the area was reaching over £600,000. However, a single month's figures need to be treated with some caution whilst trying to measure the general direction of the market. Of the 131 properties changing hands during the month, only 3 went for over a million pound which may indicate that the fall was due to a drying up of activity at the top end of the market rather than a general decline in prices.
London was the only region in England and Wales to experience an increase in its average property value over the 12 months to August according to the Land Registry. The average price rose by 2.1% to £348,686.
The national House Price Index shows an annual price decrease of 2.6% which takes the average property value in England and Wales to £162,347.
The most up-to-date figures available show that during June 2011, the number of completed house sales in England and Wales decreased by 13% to 54,776 from 62,714 in June 2010. The number of properties sold in England and Wales for over £1 million decreased by 28 per cent between June 2010 and June 2011, from 644 to 465.
The numbers below are subject to revision as is it usual that some properties are added late to the Land Registry's database.
The latest reported sales are given in the table below.

I mentioned in my review of "Amazing Spider-Man" #13 that we hadn't seen Karn for a while. He appears in this issue in a big way, when a group of Spiders convinces him to betray his family with the promise that he'll no longer need to feed off Spiders. To be honest, I'm not sure how the Spiders managed to convince him of that, since they themselves have no evidence that they can actually make that happen. We've already seen in the "Spider-Man 2099" and "Scarlet Spiders" tie-in issues that Miguel and Jennix, respectively, have failed to find an alternative food source of the Inheritors. As a result, it seems cruel to promise Karn something that they really have absolutely no idea that they can deliver. Are they going to constantly have to send five or six Spider-Men to him so that he can feed off them at the same time? But, Karn's betrayal and the possibility of an alternate food source now seem to be the turning points that'll help the good guys win in "Amazing Spider-Man" #13. In other words, you should probably buy this issue, even if you haven't bought other tie-in issues. (You can skip the second story. It amounts to Spider-Girl simply raging against Uncle Spider-Ben for...some reason. She's an angsty teen? He failed to save his family like she did? I don't know. It doesn't really matter. Just read the first story.)

Excellent service! I enjoy going to Northwest Pawn because they have lots of great deals and interesting items. They also give good deals on silver. They've always been friendly to me. Thank You Northwest Pawn!
They treat you good and know there stuff. Happy to do biz with them
Bought some silver, found out that night that one of the OZ's was a phony. I was very nervous because I didn't get a receipt (by my own choice, I was offered one but had bought silver there before with no problems and it was a relatively small purchase). I went in the next day and found the young man who had sold it to me. He looked it up on the computer and he promptly offered me an exchange or refund
Family oriented, treat customers with utmost respect. Great deals and prices. Always willing to help
I bought a pistol here and had to get it shipped to my home state to a retailer with an FFL and the retailer in my town did not make it easy, but the employees at Northwest Pawn were more than helpful and went out of their way to make it a smooth transaction. Very happy with the product and the service, I highly recommend
Two purchases without a problem, service was good and the items were just fine too. They will be my new spot to shop.

With information culled from mainstream sources, author Justin
Raimondo shows in this eye-opening book that Israel's spies in the
United States had been watching the 9/11 terrorists. As the
terrorists were planning the biggest and deadliest terrorist attack
in American history, Israeli agents in the U.S. were watching them
24/7 - living literally "next door to Mohammed Atta," according to
one account.
Did Israeli intelligence have foreknowledge of 9/11?
As one law enforcement source close to the investigation told
Fox News, the real question is: how could they not have known?
But if they knew, then "why didn't they tell us?"

You know exactly what's going to happen in the clip below the minute you start watching it.
All the elements are there: the crowd of onlookers, the steep flight of concrete steps, and the policeman in the helmet and the high-vis yellow jacket, who was apparently on hand to demonstrate cycling safety to children. It was only ever going to go one way.

"Police were staging a safe way for kids to go down the stairs on their bikes and the policeman failed miserably," said a man named Derek, who uploaded the clip to Twitter, was quoted as saying in the Daily Record . Read more... More about Uk , Twitter , Cycling , Scotland , and Policeman

Honda Cars is outlining its three year plan for the Indian market. The company is looking to bring in 6 new models (does not include facelifts) to the country and while we wait to find out which cars will be coming, the strategy outlined by the company makes one thing clear that there's a lot coming our way. The company is looking at 2020 to bring in new models and which makes us wonder which cars might make their way here. What we know though is that all the 6 models that will be coming to India will be assembled in India and not manufactured here and majority of the investment will go improving local content in these cars. This detail was confirmed by Yoichiro Ueno, President & CEO, Honda Cars India. What this means is that cars like the new-gen Civic and even the CR-V are all set to make it to India.
Speaking at a press conference at the Tokyo Motor Show, Takahiro Hachigo, President& Representative Director, CEO Honda Motor Co. Ltd said, "Honda has no plans to bring in battery electric vehicles to India yet, but will certainly consider bringing in more hybrid vehicles to India. Of the 6 new models coming to India in the next 3 years, we are considering hybrids too but cannot confirm anything right now. Hybrids are more sensible, more usable and the strategy depends on what customers can use and not what the government dictates."
Also Read: Honda Sports EV Concept Unveiled
Having said that, the company is getting ready to embrace the BSVI norms in India and according to Shinji Aoyama, President & CEO Asian Honda Motor, "Switching to BS VI is inline with the current strategy and there are no real issues there but electricfication strategy from the Government of India is not clear yet"
While India won't get electric cars, Honda, did outline its global strategy for it. According to Takahiro Hachigo, 65 per cent of cars from the Honda stable will have electrification by 2030. 50 per cent of the portfolio will be hybrid, while 15 per cent will be electric and fuel cell. Hachigo went on to state that the development of gasoline engine will not stop because 85 per cent of cars will still have a petrol engine (hybrid included) and Honda will continue to work on petrol engines to make it more efficient. He went on to state that "The development of battery electric vehicles will depend on range, battery charge time and weight. The potential of battery EVs will expand if we crack these areas and it will also depend on the infrastructure."
While India is looking to curb pollution by doing away with the combustion engine and putting pressure on car makers here to come out with solutions by 2030, Honda seems quite content to continue working on the gasoline engine and make it more efficient. But we are glad to know that there are likely to be more hybrids coming our way.

Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.

Holidays in Santorini Greece
The Greek island of Santorini is one of the most famous island destinations in the world and attracts thousands of visitors each year from all over the world
Santorini is one of the most famous of all Greek islands and each year it attracts huge numbers of visitors from all over the world. Located in the heart of the Aegean Sea, Santorini is unlike any other island, and it's unique geological structure and imagery will steal your heart and imagination.
The island is home to some excellent beaches, interesting towns and villages, archaeological sites, famous wineries and of course, the still-active volcano.
Santorini is the perfect holiday destination for all types of travellers. Whether you are looking for a place to simply unwind and relax, or one where you can enjoy a range of activities and adventure, then Santorini is the place to visit.
From the towns of Fira and Oie perched up high overlooking the majestic caldera, or the various coastal towns and resorts, Santorini has something for everyone. Famous for it's wine and cuisine ( as well as the volcano ), you can experience all aspects of Santorini.
There are many wonderful restaurants and tavernas where you can enjoy a tasty meal, as well as the various wineries around the island where you take part in a wine-tasting evening.
Places of Interest in Santorini
Santorini is filled with beautiful places to visit and sights to see. From the famous caldera and volcano, to the archaeological sites of Akrotiri and Ancient Thira, there is a huge number of interesting places you can visit during your holidays to Santorini.
The Volcano of Santorini
The most famous landmark and attraction in Santorini is of course the volcano. The landscapes and unique scenery of Santorini were all defined by the huge volcanic explosion that took place in 1650 B.C., and the results of which created the Santorini that we know today.
After additional eruptions that took place, two small islands have formed in the caldera - Palea Kameni ( meaning old burnt in Greek ) and Nea Kameni ( meaning new burnt). You can actually take a trip over to these islands by one of the many boat excurions that are offered for visitors to the island. It is an experience that every visitor to Santorini should enjoy, and one that will stay with you for the rest of your life.
Ancient Thira
Located on the top of the huge rock that seperates the coastal towns of Perissa and Kamara, the archaeologica site of Ancient Thira is a fascinating insight into the past of Santorini. On the site you will find a number of ruins and monuments that you can see such as the ancient Agora, the Temple of Dionysos, the Royal gallery, the Gymnasium and the Theatre.
The Hot Springs ( Palea Kameni )
The famous hot springs of Santorini are found on the small volcanic island of Palea Kameni. The waters here average a temperature of 33 celcius, and contains sulfur and other healing elements. A number of boat excursions to the volcanic islands stop off here at the Hot Springs where you can take a swim in the warm waters.
Akrotiri Archaeological Site
The famous archaeological site of Akrotiri is one thing that every visitor to Santorini should experience. Measuring about 200 acres in size, the whole area is one of immense interest and great historic value. The history and story of Akrotiri is one of great interest, and when you visit the site, you will learn how the huge volcanic eruption wiped out this entire region of the island.
Other sights and places to visit
There are many other interesting places to visit in Santorini including museums, wineries and other towns and areas of the island. There are a number of organised tours and excursions that you can take part in and enjoy all that Santorini has to offer.
Beaches of Santorini
Santorini is home to some of the most beautiful and unique beaches anywhere in Greece. During the summer months, the beaches are filled with visitors enjoying the crystal blue waters of the Aegean and the unique settings of the beaches.
Below you will find an overview of some of the most famous beaches you can enjoy on Santorini.
The Red Beach ( Akrotiri )
This beach is one of the most famous and popular in Santorini. The Red Beach is is located next to the village and ancient site of Akrotiri. The beach is fairly small in size, and can be pretty filled up and busy during the months of July and August. It is well worth visiting this beach though to experience the red dominating rocks of the beach.
The Black Beach ( Perissa )
This is another of the most famous beaches of Santorini. Named the black beach due to its black shiny sands, the beach is located in the coastal town of Perissa, and attracts large numbers of visitors during the summer. Along the beach are numerous cafe bars and tavernas where you can enjoy a refreshing drink of something to eat.
Kamari Beach
Located in the coastal town of Kamari, this beach is almost an extension of the Black Beach of Perissa ( the two beaches are actually seperated by the huge rock of "Mesa Vouno". Here you will also find a great selection of cafe bars and restaurants, as well as a number of interesting shops.
There are many other beaches you can find around the island, each of which has it's own unique charm and beauty. If you can, it is well worth travelling around the island and see the beautiful beaches for yourself, so you can decide which ones you want to head to for a refreshing swim.
Travelling to Santorini
Visitors to Santorini will arrive either by air or sea. Below you will find an overview of the two types of travel to the island.
Ferries to Santorini
Probably the most popular method of travelling to Santorini is by ferry boat. From the port of Piraeus in Athens, there are frequent ferry services to and from the island operating throughout the year. In the summer months, there is an increased service catering for Santorini and other islands in the Cyclades.
There are also ferry services to Santorini from some of the other islands in the Cyclades and also from the island of Crete. The months of July and August are the busiest period for ferry tickets to the Greek islands so if you are planning on visiting Santorini during these months, it is advisable to prebook your ferry tickets.

Rough Cuts is an album that evolved from three separate projects dating back to 2013. First, there was the desire to make a new album to supersede Right to Remain Silent. Second, there was a wish to write a set of songs for a blues-rock outfit. Third, receiving correspondence from Moni Voev (of Art Generation fame) to see about writing a new song together (for the first time in 20 years!)
The result of the collaboration with Moni is the opening track of the album, All Systems Go.
The unifying concept behind the album was that it should be written and recorded well, but without any frills or over-bearing production values. While this has been achieved, there are certainly more production 'frills' than were originally intended.
This is a collection of songs of which Mechkov is immensely proud, having come from a pool of projects at least twice the number of these that made it to the album. Each number has elements very personal to the writer, but also, in the true tradition of pop and rock music, these elements are somewhat hidden behind a thin veil of ambiguity.
Once the songs had been mixed down, further tweaks were made by Andy Neve of Neve Music, who then mastered the album. Hhe has done an amazing job.
So often bands and artists come out with statements such as :"This is their best work ever" whether it is or not. Well, this really is Mechkov's best work ever. We really hope you enjoy it.

The demise of certain high-profile large construction projects was one of the talking points in the media in the second half of 2017. Is there a race to the bottom mentality in securing large government contracts and equally is too much risk and uncertainty being placed on the head contractor?
Are clients asking too much of head contractors and all the suppliers in the supply chain? Conversely are head contractors over promising? This is not just an issue for New Zealand. Carrillion's collapse in the UK has highlighted shortcomings in how procurement is managed there too.
Operating in the building and construction industry can be fraught with difficulty and uncertainty at the best of times. The Chair of one of New Zealand's largest construction company is saying that building during a boom is difficult. If that is the case, then how can building companies possibly survive when there is a downturn in the market?
To make matters worse is the skills shortage in New Zealand. Part of the problem is that a career in building and construction is not thought of or promoted enough as a desirable career option. The sector continues to grapple with how exactly we attract the best and brightest to a career in building and construction.
It is perhaps alarmist but is New Zealand's construction sector at a cross roads or even crisis point? Why is it that some projects run into issues while others do not?
New Zealand is about to embark on the largest building programme in its history. The Government has set itself a target of building on average 100,000 homes over the next 10 years. Some it is too ambitious while others say it is not ambitious enough.
Constructive 2018 will provide the platform for a frank conversation about the state of the sector. The all of industry conference is an opportunity to identify what the sector can do right now to strengthen the sector. It is also chance to lay the ground work for what will the sector need to look like in 5, 10, 20 years if it is to deliver New Zealand's building and construction needs.
This session will cover:
* Views from the Government and the opposition
* Insights into the State of the Sector
* Best Practice in action
* Transformation in action

"'Last we heard about The Hobbit, Guillermo Del Toro dropped out, Peter Jackson was unofficially directing and secretly auditioning actors, the movie had yet to be green-lit, and Ian McKellen was getting super-antsy about the whole thing and threatening not to play Gandalf. This shouldn't help the long-gestating movie happen any quicker: Actors guilds including SAG issued actual alerts yesterday against working on any of the Hobbit films, advising their members not to take parts in the non-union production, should they be offered them.'"
I was ready to make some comments, looking forward to a decent discussion, but the comments were full of nonsense like this:
Planesdragon Friend of a Friend on Sunday September 26, @05:15PM #33705430 Homepage Journal
nowadays, they're merely another expensive middle-man cost
Unions are paid directly by their membership, or in certain legislated instances, directly by those they represent in contract negotiations.
The only "middle-man" cost to a union is the wages that workers receive when they bargain collectively. To argue that this is an "increased" cost, you need to refute the union's basic premise -- that collective bargaining brings about a "fair" wage.
While you're about it, please include an example where everyone having to haggle for the cost of a head of lettuce is also "fair", please.
That tripe has a score of "4, Insightful" as I write. When someone needs an explanation on how a union body between the workers and their employer is not a middle-man cost and gets modded up for it, might as well move on. Same for negotiating the best price for a head of lettuce. We normally do not do it in the way he is probably thinking, having a Sotheby's Auction for each head in front of a mob of shoppers. We "haggle" by taking our shopping business to the places that we like best. Sometimes price is number one, sometimes it is other factors.
Looks like anybody expressing any sort of Libertarian thought, anybody even approaching the idea that the buyer sets the price, is getting a mod smack-down.

This is the one of the most loving thing I can possibly do.
For the next 40 days I will be focusing on the 40 Days for Life campaign and pro-life issues. I have come to the realization that killing babies (abortion) is the holocaust of today. I can no longer stand by and be silent. I can imagine how the Jews felt when they were being killed and so many people did not stand up for them. Abortion is killing babies. Scientifically proven. Do the research. I will be proving it in my blogs. Don't be an accomplice in the killing–do the research! This website has a wealth of information http://www.humanlife.org
Here are some great articles comparing the abortion issue to the holocaust:
I know this is controversial. I hope those of you who are pro-choice will be open minded. I welcome your comments.

By building a team he could trust, LaMarca was able tostep back a bit and enjoy life's little moments: admiringSophie's latest crayon drawings, teaching Frankie to saucea pie. "One of my favorite things to do with my girls iscook them dinner," he says. "I've noticed my Frankie likesto watch what I do and often asks me if she can try itherself. I love showing her how to pound out and breadchicken breasts or put sauce and cheese on a pizza. I lovemaking some sort of pasta and chicken dish, plating itnicely, serving it to my girls, and within three minutes,half of the dinner is on the table or on the floor. I hope, atsome point in the near future, their eating habits becomemore civilized!"His wife, Christina, meanwhile, plays no role in thedaily operations of Master Pizza. "But this companywould not be where it is today without her," LaMarcaadmits. "When I wanted to open my first shop in Cha-grin Falls, I had no business doing it. We'd just boughta house a year or so earlier. We had our first baby girl,Frankie. We definitely had enough to keep us occupied,and money was tight."But LaMarca is, after all, an incorrigible entrepreneur.Having too much to do was not enough. "I'll never forget:We were sitting at a Starbucks when I told Christina whatI wanted to do," he recalls. "Her reaction was so calm,and she said, 'If you think it's a good location and a goodidea, do it.' I knew then it would be a success. I felt thatconfidence she had in me, knowing I could accomplishwhatever I wanted to do."And LaMarca won't mind a bit if his daughters followin his culinary footsteps. "I hope my girls see the passionI have for cooking—pizza specifically—and take a likingto making food for their families one day," he says. "Foodis more than nutrition. Food is passion, art and tradition,all served on a plate. Food brings families together andcreates lasting memories."

Not only did Christina LaMarca give her husband two adorable daughters, she also gave him the confidence to pursue his dream of expanding Master Pizza.

American Society of Mammalogists Meeting June 24-28, 2011 or My Trip to Portland, OR
I really liked Portland, and it's a place I would definitely go back for another non-work related visit. I really liked how easy it was to get around, how relatively clean it was, and all there was to do. I went to the Saturday Market (which actually goes on all weekend), which was really neat to see. It's basically a huge craft fair/flea market and you can find a lot of unique hand made items. I got a nifty bronze and copper barrette.
Portland State University was also really nice, it's right in the middle of the city but it doesn't feel overly city-like when you're actually on the main part of the campus. During the first day of the meeting there was a huge farmer's market going on right in the plaza area of campus, which made for a really convenient place to get lunch. The growing season there is several weeks behind NM, so it was a treat to see all the late spring veggies and berries.
I stayed with a friend while at the meeting. Fred's mother lives in Gresham, OR, which is really close to Portland. Fred, Matt, and I camped out in her mom's living room, and we enjoyed the added company of Jack the dog and Darwin the cat. We took the light rail in to get to and from the meeting, which was about an hour long trip, but it was convenient none-the-less. I can always appreciate cities where you don't really need a car. I could live in a place like Gresham, or any of the other cities near Portland. They're all just really convenient, and you can get just about anywhere between the light rail, a bus, and some walking. Portland is actually pretty eco-friendly, as far as cities go. They recycle everything, and it's one of the few cities I've seen that composts.
The meeting itself was very enjoyable. I personally prefer smaller meetings to the supersized meetings I sometimes go to. This was my first mammal meeting, and it's the first meeting where I was in the minority as a paleoecologist. Unfortunately, there was a mix up with my abstract and I ended up presenting in a session that wasn't ideal. But, the show must go on, and it went alright. Not my best talk, but certainly not my worst. I did have a couple of people approach me about my work with some interest, which goes to show that I am, in fact, my own toughest critic.
The final day of the meeting was really good because I saw some really interesting posters, got some really good deals on reference books, and the keynote talk was also fantastic. Liz Hadley from Stanford gave the talk, and it was on Pleistocene paleoecology and really highlighted how paleontology is relevant to modern ecology. The whole talk was basically about all the things that keep me up at night, so I really enjoyed it. Liz is also just really cool and a really great speaker. She's definitely on my list of amazing female scientist role models.
Here are a few non-meeting related highlights from my trip. I know it starts to sound a bit like a travel guide, but honestly, if a good time can't be had at a conference (or during field work for that matter), then you're doing it wrong:
Multnomah Falls - a really good afternoon hike, beautiful scenery, and I saw TWO pikas. Very appropriate for my first mammal meeting! If for some reason you don't know what a pika is...
South Park Seafood Grill & Wine Bar - I was disappointed with the mussel & sausage appetizer, but everything else I tried was delicious. Kind of pricey, I recommend the butternut squash ravioli, and Fred enjoyed the smoked salmon salad. The wine was also very nice, and I had a Sparkling Elderflower cocktail which was fabulous.
Saturday Market - Lots of hand made goodies! North Waterfront Park and Ankeny Plaza. The portion near the waterfront has the most hand made stuff.
The Seafood Groto - This place is tiny but good! Matt and I broke a cardinal rule by going to a restaurant on a Monday, but we still got a nice (but again, pricey) dinner. The crab stuffed mushroom caps and hazelnut crusted halibut are really great.
Saturday Farmer's Market at PSU - Located right in the middle of Portland State University is a really nice farmer's market. An excellent place to get a bargain lunch that is delicious. You can also buy really fresh fish, and the berries in June are just beautiful.
Powell's Books - The world's largest book store that takes up over a city block. I got some good deals on books, and they have just about everything.
Voodoo Donuts - They're going through a remodel right now, so the hours can be kind of iffy, and if you try to go during the day on the weekend, be prepared to wait in line for at least an hour or more, no exageration. We went at 11pm on a Tuesday, but were still able to get a decent selection considering they were out of a lot of things. They also have a really large selection of vegan donuts, and I've heard their maple bacon donut (so not vegan) is really good. I'll definitely go back to try and get it.
Hotlips Pizza - Definitely a good place for a delicious slice and good drink, right near PSU. They offer up a variety of guest microbrews and they make their own fruit sodas. I got the raspberry soda which was on tap, and two slices of veggie/vegan pizza. You can get a large slice of pizza and a (good) beer for $6. Did I mention they have HUGE fresh cookies? The service is also really quick and they have both indoor and outdoor seating.
Rogue Brewery - There are a lot of breweries in Portland, and I want to go back and try them all (wishful thinking, haha), but this is arguably the most famous. I went to the Rogue Hall on campus, it's under a dorm for Pete's sake. They have all their beers you can find nationwide in stores, plus a bunch of others which you can only get at the brewery. I was very happy with their Mocha Porter. Also, there was free Rogue beer at all the social events for the meeting, and the Hazelnut Brown Nectar Ale is really really good.
McCormick & Schmick's Pilsner Room - Another good place to get a beer, not to mention the best place I did my networking at the conference. They have an extensive selection of guest brews on rotation, and they do their own on the premises. Most of their beers can be had for about $5 a pint, or they have a sampler of 6 varieties for $9. Plus it's down by the marina which has a nice view.

Glad that you had a good time in Portland! Considering that I am around Portland State all the time being a student there and all, it's interesting to hear about another's experience with nearby staples i.e. Hotlips Pizza. I am glad that you found that place and not many others as unfortunately Portland restaurants put an emphasis on kitschy design, eclectic menu choices at the expense of decent customer service.ReplyDelete
It is funny how for being a city that in a lot of respects it's not very city-like; people don't drive nearly as fast or aggressively as they do out east, or even up in Seattle. Compared to a lot of other major cities there's a much greater emphasis on cleanliness and litter collection. I think that having bottles be returnable helps quite a bit with keeping the amount of trash out there down.
As far as weather goes, I think that you got rather unlikely during the stint that you were here. This June has been much cooler and drearier than average (along with the rest of the year for that matter). On one hand I do appreciate the mildness of the temperatures when I am exerting myself outside, on the other, what I wouldn't kill for some truly sunny days.
At any rate it seems like conferences can be cool in a lot of ways; sharing your ideas, meeting with others in the field and of course experiencing somewhere new. Hopefully the next time you come out to the northwest the weather is better and get an even better sense of how beautiful it is here.

It was another hot and humid night, a week ago.
I keep thinking about something which bothering me so much.
I stared at the ceiling, for quite some times.
I punched Jie's number, asking him something sumting silly?
Me: How much my baju?
Him: oo I tak beli la. x pergi pun tempat shopping.
Me: Ok then... I was thinking to bank in d money.
Him: No... x sempat..
Me: Ok then, so how's Jakarta?
Him: Ok... errr... but I have t-shirts... I love Jakarta tu.. nak x?
Me: Tak muat kot..
Him: No... besarlah...
Me: I have doubled my size now.. u don't see me lately
It is true, about the size and the fact that we haven't meet up for such a long time.
He just came back from a golf trip to Jakarta.
Felt like we were strangers.
While I kind of guess Jie takkan belikan baju tu (hahahaha) but offering a t-shirt, sangat di luar landasan fikiran saya.
Since when he bought t-shirts?
Bukan selama ni saya pau t-shirt yang dia dapat free bila ada tournament ke?
Maybe... we ARE really strangers now.
"Kalau I tanya soalan macam dulu, asking your opinion masih boleh lagi tak?" saya menulis di wassapps.
"InsyaAllah boleh" Jie jawab which makes me a bit speechless/textless(?)
"Uishhh... berimannyer? Lainnye sekarang..." came my reply. Afterall, as far as I am concerned... those words never escape his lips.
"hahahahha sure boleh la.." he continued.
Ok... that is Jie, a friend I remembered.
I poured everything. From the discussion which I never included, the letter I never see, the task they did which supposed to be my JOB and top of all..
"They never talk to me, let me know about games and when I asked they just said everything has been taken care of. To top it all, I have to ask many times to clarify. Bodohnya I rasa"
Of course saya beritahu Jie, saya rasa sangat insulted.
Of course Jie tahu, this is not the first time.
I had a hell of time since March last year, pun pada Jie jugek saya mereport:)
"I tot we r friends..." Mungkin dalam mimpi saya agaknya.
"That's the sign. Leave it be". Nasihat Jie pendek saja.
Maybe he aheard enough. Dia bosan. Saya pun.
This week, that particular guy, gave me something.
"Sign" he said.
I answered simply, "malas".
When u treated others like dirt, don't you ever try to be clever.
I wanted to scream it on his face.

It can be fairly common for young people to dismiss or ignore knee pain, but it's really important for young patients to see an orthopedic specialist about any prolonged pain or symptoms to avoid more serious joint and mobility problems in the future.
(PRWEB) January 14, 2015
A new PhD study authored by Michael Skovdal Rathleff of Aarhus University in Denmark, and published in the BMC Pediatrics journal suggests that in some cases, the knee pain formerly dismissed as routine in growing adolescents could actually persist into adulthood, and lead to chronic pain and possible joint problems like osteoarthritis in the future. Rathleff's study observed the cases of 3,000 adolescents to determine how early knee pain affected long term physical development and quality of life.
According to the study's findings, one in three adolescents surveyed between the ages of 12 and 19 experienced some form of knee pain, with at least seven percent reporting daily pain in the front of the knee, and more than half of the subjects still experiencing knee pain after two years.
"It can be fairly common for young people to dismiss or ignore knee pain, but it's really important for young patients to see an orthopedic specialist about any prolonged pain or symptoms to avoid more serious joint and mobility problems in the future," said Dr. Eric Millstein, a prominent orthopedic surgeon in Beverly Hills.
The study concluded that allowing knee pain to go untreated in adolescents increases the risk of the pain becoming chronic and persisting into adulthood, with the potential to affect quality of life and making participation in sports and physical activities more difficult. Even more alarming, the study's findings suggest that adolescents suffering from prolonged knee pain had similar symptoms, and reduced quality of life, as peers waiting to receive ACL reconstruction surgery or 75 year olds post knee replacement surgery.
Rathleff reported that as many as half of the adolescents suffering from knee pain in his study responded positively to physical therapy, and that the earlier a treatment plan is implemented, the greater the likelihood for success.
"Addressing the symptoms early and working with a specialist is the best advice for young people suffering from knee pain and their parents," added Dr. Millstein. "The longer they wait to get an accurate diagnosis and start physical therapy, the harder it is to fix the problem down the line."
Dr. Millstein graduated with AOA honors and academic awards from the School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, and then completed his orthopedic residency training at the University of Chicago. Dr. Millstein also spent 18 months at the Southern Orthopedic Institute in Van Nuys as a fellow in Sports Medicine and Arthroscopic surgery, and continues to study, teach, and utilize the most current techniques in both joint preservation and joint replacement surgery. He is a member of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, and the Arthroscopy Association of North America. As an Arthritis specialist, Dr. Millstein has helped many patients manage their arthritis symptoms.

I have used the P-N-P Blue as well and it works well. I have stopped using ferric chloride as my etchant. Too much trouble in trying to dispose of and messy as well. I now use one part muriatic acid to two parts 3% hydrogen-peroxide. Disposal is easy just flush the used mixture down the toilet. Muriatic acid is often used as a drain cleaner anyway.

Earth Summit 2017 – The Family of Empowerment Gathers to Assist the Earth and Raise the Human Vibration
Register Now
October 19-22, Sedona, Arizona / In person event
In the May 2017 VirtualLight Broadcast the group delivered a sobering message about the future of Humanity and our Earth. (You can reference it here it begins at 2hrs and 44 minutes). Based upon comments that flooded in afterwards, the message shook many to their core.
Based upon the channel and the reactions in stirred, we created a two-day, online event titled "The Earth 2017". During this event the group expanded on their message in the VirtualLight Broadcast and detailed what we as a collective are facing on both the physical and spiritual levels.
They feel that the work we have ahead of us is so special and sacred that we need to gather in person. Therefore, we have arranged a four-day in person event in one of the Earth's most powerful and sacred vortexes, Sedona, Arizona.
We will begin by recapping what was covered in "The Earth 2017" online event, it is not a pre-requisite to attending this in-person event, but we do recommend that you view it if you can. It includes focus work that you can do leading up to the event in October.
Then we will dive deeply into the sacred work we incarnated at this time to do. We will assist the Earth in her transition, and all of Humanity in raising their conscious vibration, and and learn how to move into our LightBodies at will.
This work is truly a calling for those who are choosing to be a part of a sacred process. For those who we call "The Family of Empowerment", the 1% of humanity the group says are on the planet right now, ready to activate and initiate their sacred contracts.
The group spoke about four energy waves entering the Earth in 2017. We will work with the fourth wave directly as it occurs on October 22, the last day of the conference.
This work is deep and profound. First we will work with you personally, then we will work collective with Mother Earth.
This is why you came….
And if this resounds deeply in your heart, you will be there.
This gathering will be intimate and personal, limited to only 70. Please do not wait to reserve your space.

I have so many issues I don't know where to begin, I don't often like talking about it because I feel like a hypochondriac. I'm only 28 but since high school I have has creaky painful joints, i always have a headache, memory issues, a heart murmur, at age 24 I had my first surgery for my sinuses I had a tumor/massive polyp that went from my left maxillary sinus into my nose and down the back of my throat until it hung below my uvula. My ENT said that ALL of my sinuses were 100% oppacified in the CT-scans with growths,
I had CSF leaks.
can't sweat
dizzy spells
After three surgeries I thought my troubles were over then the reoccurring tonsillitis lead to the fourth surgery and again I thought all would be fine, yet here I am, ALWAYS feeling sick, with yet another **** fever which I have had almost every day for 8 years now.
I'm a mom of three and just want to feel good enough to get out of bed with out tears running down my face.
I don't do drugs, or smoke, or anything 100% sober (but my mother may not have been when she was preg with me)
I'm a vegetarian that tried to eat all organic, in the last three weeks, I stopped eating gluten 100%.
I've been to several doctors that simply scratch their head, a few years ago I tested negative with a blood-test for arthritis yet my body still hurts all the time with audible creeks and pops in my shoulders.
Any ideas? Please help! THANK YOU

Regular readers of Rupee News are fully aware that we have been tracking the Ayini base since its inception. Indian terror base in Farkhor Tajikistan exports sabotage to China, Iran and Pakistan. This article not only traces the history, it also tracks the current situation.
On July 30th, 2009, we wrote this.
President Zardari made a trip to Dushambe and discussed many issues with the Tajik president. Most of it was reported in the press. One issues that was not mentioned by the press is the Bharati presence in Tajikistan. This has been identified as a huge issue for Pakistan. Bharati jets can take off from Farkhor and reach Pakistan within minutes. The base offers Bharat a bird-eye view of Northern Pakistan and the Migs that are stationed at the base are a direct threat to China and Pakistan. Ambassador Bhadrakumar actually reported that Bharat has two bases in Tajikistan. India's two bases in Tajikistan major threat to Pakistan & China!
These Bharati bases are a clear and present danger to China and Pakistan and must be shut down forthwith.
Our fortuitous warning was apparently heeded. Now Peter Lee reports that in September of last year, India's Ayini base was shut down.
For some years after the demise of the USSR, Delhi was allowed a field hospital in Farkhor in Tajikistan. In typical "give them a foot and they will take a mile" Bharat tried to over reach and set up a base at Ayini. They fixed the runaway and hoped to build a full fledged base—as if it was a Superpower or something. Ayini was much heralded as "India's first foreign Airbase". There were dreams that Migs would charge down, from the Ferghana Valley and have the ability to swoop down to Islamabad within minutes. Indian "Defense Analysts" wrote reams about the "Ayini Air Force base", and how it had strategically altered India's reach to Central Asia. Almost no security column was written in India without mentioning the great Ayini base.On Christmas Day 2005, Shashank Joshi was chest thumping about India's bases in Tajiksitan. Little did he know about the eviction notice.
- In July, reportedly at the behest of a seemingly "displeased" Moscow, Tajik Foreign Minister Hamrahon Zaripov declared that Dushanbe was not negotiating with New Delhi about permitting India a military base at Ayni.
- Tajikistan, responding to some combination of Russian resentment, Chinese objections, and insufficient bribery, decided to evict 150 Indian military engineers, support staff, and trainers from Ayni
- In a classic case of overreach, Delhi has tried to set up a base in Mongolia
The eviction of India from Tajikistan is a seminal event for Central Asia—because it cuts Bharat down to size.. It could be pure coincidence but the eviction occurred right after the Russians, Pakistanis and Tajiks announced a Karachi to Dushambe road and rail link. The increased cooperation between Tajikistan and Pakistan was announced during a trip made by President Zardari. It is poignant to note that President Patil of India made a trip soon aft wards in September---but was handed the eviction papers by the president of Tajikistan. Peter Lee in a fascinating article published in Asia Times reveals that the Indians have been evicted from Ayini—this time for good.
In 2006, Hree is the Defence of India on a historical perspective as seen as Mr. Lee:
Up to a point, Russia has been able to enlist India - now firmly committed to the civilization-versus-terror narrative courtesy of its burgeoning partnership with the US - in endorsing this world view.
Russia and India share a convergence of strategic interests in Afghanistan, one that conflicts with China's desire to let the Pashtuns sort things out in their own bloody fashion under the watchful eye of Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence.
Russia hopes to leverage the Afghan crisis into an acceptance of Moscow's security leadership by Stans vulnerable to Taliban-inspired Islamic militancy. India recognizes any victory by pro-Pakistan Pashtun factions, Taliban or otherwise, in Afghanistan as a defeat for its efforts to distract and bedevil Pakistan.
This shared interest was reflected in the joint statement of Manmohan and President Dmitry Medvedev, which used the rhetoric of terrorism to preclude negotiating with the Taliban insurgency - the unacknowledged centerpiece of the US strategy to cobble together a political settlement and depart the benighted region.
The communique stated:"[Russia and India] agree that the fight against terrorism cannot be selective, and drawing false distinctions between 'good' and 'bad' Taliban would be counter-productive."
But a meaningful alliance between Russia and India appears to founder on the collision between Moscow's crude anti-diplomacy and India's ineffectual and opportunistic outreach. Their divergence of interests is neatly illustrated in the determined dance of the two powers with the tiny republic of Tajikistan.
Tajikistan borders Afghanistan to the north. The Tajik ethnic group disregards the artificial border and dominates northwestern Afghanistan, including the Ferghana Valley, the legendary bulwark of the anti-Pashtun, anti-Taliban Tajik leader and Russian asset, Ahmad Shah Massoud.
Russia relied on Tajikistan to provide a logistical rear area for its support of the Northern Alliance during the period of Taliban domination. India pitched in by constructing a military hospital at the town of Farkhor in Tajikistan territory a scant two kilometers from the Afghan border. Massoud, mortally wounded by an al-Qaeda hit squad, died at the hospital two days before the September 11, 2001 attacks.
Now, Tajikistan is the new hotspot in the global "war on terror" as it forms the centerpiece of US Central Command commander General David Petraeus' efforts to support the Afghan surge with a new supply route - the Northern Distribution Network (NDN) - bypassing Pakistan - and bringing an ocean of cash, development, graft and trouble to the impoverished mountain republic.
Tajikistan security has deteriorated markedly as militants fleeing the Pakistan government crackdown in Waziristan have found refuge in Tajikistan's vulnerable border regions. Tajikistan's Taliban problems have also been exacerbated by the movement of militants to Afghanistan's previously peaceful northern border districts to attack the NDN.
In addition to the US and NATO, Russia and India sense opportunity in Tajikistan, giving the local boss, Emomali Rahmon, a chance to play off one interested party against the other and settle old scores - and reveal the fragility of the strategic partnership between Russia and India in Central Asia.
After the US-led invasion, India maintained its presence at Farkhor and, in a virtually unreported development, quietly negotiated terms in 2002 for its first significant military base outside India, at the Ayni airport on the outskirts of Tajikistan's capital of Dushanbe.
India's ubiquitous quasi-military Border Roads Organization - which increasingly finds itself operating beyond India's borders in places like Afghanistan - went to work expanding Ayni's runway. Stories were floated to anxious observers in Beijing and Islamabad that India would station helicopters or even MiG fighters at Ayni in order to project its power into the remote corners of Central Asia.
The catch was that Ayni would be operated in rotation by Russia, India and Tajikistan, and the Indian Air Force would be reliant on Russia's good offices and logistical support to maintain its presence.
In 2007, an Indian defense website reported:
The Russians have given India the option of sending a squadron of Mi-17 helicopters to Ayni, with a detachment of pilots and support personnel. With Russia and Uzbekistan just next door, logistics support has been assured. Russia has also offered to build fighter maintenance infrastructure at Ayni with India. The option will be made available to India to base a squadron of MiG-29 fighters at the base, but this will not be in the near future, though the implications of this are huge - Indian fighters can be scrambled at a moment's notice for operations anywhere in the area. With mid-air refuelling support promised by the Russians, their reach will be immense.
But what Russia giveth, it taketh away.
Russia has been eyeing India's rapprochement with the US with considerable jealousy and anxiety. It apparently also covets Ayni (and the runway improved by India) as a platform for its own aircraft, so the Russian-backed security collective, the CSTO, can make a statement of its importance in the suddenly significant northern Afghan theater.
Last September, India apparently tried to bypass its putative partner, Russia, and play its own bilateral hand in Tajikistan. India's President Pratihba Patil paid an unprecedented visit to Tajikistan to talk up potential economic, aid, security links and India's interest in Ayni.
However, reports indicate that Tajikistan, responding to some combination of Russian resentment, Chinese objections, and insufficient bribery, decided to evict 150 Indian military engineers, support staff, and trainers from Ayni.
Russia's desire to demonstrate its leverage over its putative strategic partner seems to have been decisive.
An Indian defense website picked up a report from the News Post India:
"This [Russian pressure] appears to be a ploy for more concessions and indulgence from India," a senior military officer associated with the Central Asian Region said. Its Moscow's way of telling New Delhi not to "stray" into the American military hardware camp, the official told IANS.
India annually conducts defense business of over $1.5 billion [...] with Russia, and since the 1960s has acquired Soviet and Russian military equipment worth over $30 billion.
Over the next decade, military planners anticipate purchases of over $40 billion to replace or upgrade India's predominantly Soviet and Russian defense equipment that have reached collective obsolescence.
Moscow is understandably anxious to encash this potential and is wary of competition from other suppliers, particularly the US, in support of IAF's latest requirement of 126 multi-role combat aircraft.
Alongside, India is deadlocked in delicate discussions with Russia wanting to renegotiate its $85 billion Sukhoi 30MkI multi-role fighter deal by demanding a higher price for the timely delivery of the combat aircraft with the agreed specifications.
In July, reportedly at the behest of a seemingly "displeased" Moscow, Tajik Foreign Minister Hamrahon Zaripov declared that Dushanbe was not negotiating with New Delhi about permitting India amilitary base at Ayni.
As the US demonstrated in its convoluted but ultimately successful (and expensive) efforts to forestall eviction from its airbase at Manas Airport in Kyrgyzstan, even apparently hopeless situations can be turned around through the right combination of concessions to Russia and payoffs to the local potentate.
So India might still find a precarious foothold for its air force in Tajikistan, but it will remain beholden to the support of its unpopular Russian patron for its continued presence.
It is not surprising that Russia's heavy-handed approach to Central Asia security, India's aspirations, and military sales has forestalled a genuine strategic partnership between Moscow and New Delhi that will counter the "soft power" outreach of Beijing through the SCO.
While acknowledging seemingly every international organization that engages India - or, like the SCO, resists India's determined efforts to engage with it - the December Russia-India communique made no mention of Russia's pet geopolitical projects: the European Security Treaty or the CTSO.
However, for the time being New Delhi seems bereft of its own strategy and resources for advancing its independent interests inCentral Asia.
As long as India continues to rely on its equivocal relationship as an auxiliary to Russia and, increasingly, the US in their great power machinations in Central Asia, it is likely that India and Russia will keep spinning their gears as China and the SCO continue to move ahead. Russia-India ties sour in Central Asia By Peter Lee. Peter Lee writes on East and South Asian affairs and their intersection with US foreign policy.
In 2007, Bharat faced certain eviction as reported by Defense of India
India is likely to be evicted from its sole, albeit fledgling, overseas military facility at Ayni air base near Tajikistan's capital Dushanbe under pressure from Russia, which is concerned over New Delhi's burgeoning ties with Washington.
Senior military officials said the emerging possibility of India looking to Washington and other Western suppliers for military hardware was responsible for Russia "leveraging" its considerable influence with Tajikistan to try and terminate New Delhi's "loose arrangement" regarding Ayni if it declined to be "co-operative".
In 2007, Delhi was able to assuage the fears of the Russian, and gotten itself a stay order. Can it do the same again?
What Lee does not mention are the other important events that are happening in Central Asia.
1) China rail integrates Afghanistan, Tajikistan, & Pakistan. China is known for walking silently and brandishing a big stick. This is a seminal event in the history of their region. This news item did not make a headline in the New York Times or the Washington Post. Very quietly China is beginning to encroach upon Afghanist and and ensuring that it is integrated with the economies of Tajikisan, Western China and Pakistan. Linking Tajikistan and Afghanistan to Gwader is a very strategic step that will pay dividends in the long run. The US has ostensibly spent $15 Billion in Afghanistan, but it has nothing to show for it. The reason is that by US law half of the aid stays in America, and 25% is spent on logistics.
2) Tajikistan-Pakistan relations to be bound by energy road & rail ties. Zardari said rail and road links between the two countries through Afghanistan would open Pakistani seaports giving Tajikistan access to the sea, adding that opening of road links was critical to bringing the countries in the region together and for increasing people-to-people contacts, which would benefit the countries' economically and socially.A pre-feasibility study of the 1,300-kilometer long road connecting Pakistan with Tajikistan and central Asia through the Durrah Pass had already been undertaken, the president was quoted as saying.Transmission line: President Zardari also emphasized early implementation of the 1,000-kilometre-long power transmission line from Tajikistan to Pakistan, known as the Central Asia-South Asia 1000.
3) Kyrgyzstan Pakistan road link integrates OIC & ECO. Kashgar is no longer a mythical land in some ephemeral country–brought to us by Alama Iqbal's dream and Chaudhry Rehmat Ali's vision. Kashgar is the end point of the Karakoram Highway on the Chinese side of the border. It is linked to Pakistan by culture, language, and religion, now in Chinese friendship.Pakistan and China are linked by road and are planning to link up by rail. The road and rail link is being extended to Tajikistan. Now the Kyrgyz government wants to link up with Pakistan. The Pakistan and China link would be extended to Kyrgyzstan and then loop down to hook up with Tajikistan and Pakistan (through the narrow strip of land of Afghanistan). Looping upward it would hook up to the other countries of the ECO and the SCO–the future of Pakistan. Kyrgyzstan is working to establish direct road links with Pakistan through Karakoram Highway to further improve bilateral trade and economic relations between the two countries.
These events bring Pakistan closer to Russia, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and China and integrates their economies like bees in a honeycomb. Bound by geography, culture and hsitory that extends beyond the founder of the Mughal and Muslim dynasties, the countries of the ECO are coming together in ways that were unimaginable a few decades ago. However Chaudhry Rehmat Ali.
Movements across the world are brining the Muslim world together. Some misguided ones are using violent means. Other non-violent ones are threatening others. Pakistani leadership has to grab the mantle and take the ECO to the next level.
