Real GDP grew by 8.0% in 2015/16, a slowdown from the 10.4% registered in 2014/15. The services and industry sectors led growth during this period. Growth in the agriculture sector was negatively affected by the El Niñoinduced drought. For 2016/17 and 2017/18, investments in energy and transport infrastructure; on-going reforms to spur industrialisation, such as the development of industrial parks; and continued progression in services are expected to lead growth. Agriculture is projected to rebound and grow steadily.
Headline inflation is projected to remain consistent with the central bank's (National Bank of Ethiopia's [NBE]) price stability objective of single digit inflation in 2016/17. Inflationary pressures are expected to fall due to subdued food prices. Import-intensive public infrastructure investments are expected to continue in the near term as the government sustains the implementation of energy and road transport infrastructure projects to improve the businessenabling environment. The current account deficit is projected to remain in double digits in the short term as export earnings continue to account for about 30% of imports. Uncertainty about international commodity prices and weak global demand are key downside risks.
The 2004 Industrial Development Strategy guides Ethiopia's ambition of achieving agriculturaland export-led industrialisation. However, the share of the industrial sector in GDP remains low, averaging 12.2% between 2006/07 and 2015/16. The expansion in industry has been led by construction, while the contribution of manufacturing to GDP remains small at 5.4% in 2015/16. The second Growth and Transformation Plans (GTP II) 2015/16–2019/20 prioritises export-led industrialisation. The approach to promoting industrialisation under GTP II is consistent with the Inclusive and Sustainable Industrial Development (ISID) framework. Ethiopia, as one of the three pilot countries under this framework, has developed a Programme for Country Partnership (PCP) in collaboration with other partners, including the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO). The PCP is a vehicle for implementing the ISID framework. The Micro and Small Enterprises Development Strategy (2011) was developed to increase the contribution of Ethiopia's entrepreneurs to the country's industrialisation ambitions. This strategy focuses on improving the business-enabling environment, access to finance and market linkages. Measures to promote private sector development have also been implemented such as privatisation of state-owned enterprises, business regulatory reforms and infrastructure development.

How to Celebrate Fall in Your Kitchen
If you want to celebrate all things fall in your own home, the best place to start is in the kitchen. Change up your normal cooking routine to try new things, and find a way to cook even on nights when your family is busy with school-related activities. You can also enjoy using both apple and pumpkin in a variety of desserts and breakfast pastries. If you're ready to embrace the cold weather and spend some time in your kitchen, here are some suggestions.
Have a Fall Cocktail Party
Whether you want to invite the entire neighborhood, or just celebrate with your family, having a night full of hot drinks and tasty snacks can be a great way to host a relaxing party. You can make hot cider in a crock pot and mull red wine for adult guests. Hot cocoa is another timeless favorite, and you can make several types of finger foods for everyone to enjoy. If a cocktail party isn't your thing, make it a game night instead and have every guest bring a favorite game and plate of snacks.
Try a New Spin on Classics
Fall is a great time to dive back into comforting meals like meatloaf and mashed potatoes, and hearty soups and stews. If you enjoy trying out new recipes, you can take some of those classic flavors and make them in a new way. You could make mini individual meatloaves and change out white potatoes for sweet potatoes. Or skip the hours of preparation required for classic lasagna and make skillet lasagna instead. You can also change up taco night and make chicken tortilla soup instead.
Try a Hot Breakfast
There's nothing like a filling breakfast to start the day, especially when you'll be out in the cold weather. No matter how busy your mornings are, you can find ways to make a hot breakfast for everyone. Break out the slow cooker again and make overnight oats that are ready in the morning. Or spend a few hours assembling and freezing breakfast burritos so your kids can have a grab-and-go breakfast on school mornings. If you love enjoying brunch on the weekend, try your hand at cinnamon rolls that rise overnight and are ready for the oven in the morning.
Pack Your Lunch
Bringing your lunch from home is a great way to stick to a healthy diet and save money. A Thermos lets you bring leftover soup from last night's dinner. You can also try packing scrambled eggs or chili in an insulated container. Sandwiches are always good options, but you don't have to stick with ham and cheese every day. Try an all-vegetarian option or make a cheese melt if your office kitchen has a toaster oven. You can enjoy the seasonal produce by bringing along an apple or pear with your lunch.
Stick to a Healthy Diet
While fall is the perfect time to indulge in comfort foods and the occasional pumpkin treat, it's important to maintain a healthy diet overall. That way you can enjoy the season and the upcoming holidays without dreading the resolution diet in January. Choose Buy as many things fresh as you can and then choose healthy pre-made options like low-cholesterol, egg-free mayo from Hampton Creek.
Try switching to natural sweeteners rather than relying on refined sugar for all your baking projects. Plan meals with a balance of protein, vegetables and carbs so you'll avoid sugar crashes and cravings.
Celebrate fall by hosting a cocktail party or modifying your family's favorite recipes to fall-friendly forms. Take the time to make a hot breakfast and pack your lunch every day. It's also a good idea to practice moderation by making healthy food choices often and indulging in comfort foods and treats occasionally.
Fall is a wonderful time of year to spend time in your kitchen trying new things and enjoying the produce of the season.

The final day of the Paralympic Games saw the curtain fall on an extraordinary summer of sport in Europe, from Euro 2012 in Poland and Ukraine, to an amazing Tour de France and on to a stunning Olympic and Paralympic Games. As the Paralympic flame was passed on it started me thinking about which sponsorship assets provided the most value in terms of visibility. Let's take a look at the evidence.
Sky has spent around 15m Euros a year sponsoring their UCI pro tour cycling team, an amount that doesn't include activation. To be a main sponsor of the Euro 2012 competition in Poland and Ukraine cost around 30m Euros, increasing to 50m with the media package, but this covered the entire four-year competition cycle. Likewise, the 70m to 80m Euros cost of being an IOC top programme sponsor covers four years (winter and summer games).

Mark Pellegrino – Counter-culturist. Daytime philosopher. Natural villain. Meet the man who plays the devil.
Seated on the outdoor patio at Newhall Refinery, Valencia resident and actor Mark Pellegrino squinted into an overcast afternoon sky as he searched for just the right words. Immediately recognizable as a bright yet pensive individual, Mark has a lot going on under the surface. His answers unfold in layers, and he's intent on getting to the crux of things.
"I would love to play a villain who, in 100 years, turns out to have been the hero the whole time," he said, turning his gaze straight ahead and leaning forward. He further considered his dream role. "A character who seems villainous now because he doesn't fit in with the current values of society – but he's probably the Messiah you're looking for. He's ahead of his time."
Mark has crafted a career out of playing complex, often sympathetic villains, usually in supernatural or science fiction television series. With roles from Jacob in Lost to Lucifer in Supernatural, he's gotten very good at it – he's tapped into something. By finding the humanity in supernatural characters, Mark makes them complicated and, consequently, relatable. Lucifer, for example, isn't just an angel who's fallen from grace; he's a rebel with a dark past who's fighting for justice as he sees it.
"I like that, today, the good guys and the bad guys are kind of mixing with one another," Mark said. "Their characteristics are almost indistinguishable. The difference is in their values."
Though Mark strives for depth in a performance, ironically his signature role was built around a snap judgment.
"First impressions are fairly important in this business," Mark said. "People just seem to get that villainous vibe from me when I walk in a room."
Standing 6"1' in nearly head-to-toe black, Mark's pensive and analytical nature could easily be taken as mystery. His constantly furrowed brow looks sinister from behind a lens, and his sturdy stance communicates a certain power. It's no leap to imagine Mark's transformation into a threatening, brooding bad guy.
"They said, 'Cast him as the bad guy,'" Mark said, "and that's how it went."
Though he fell into his signature role, Mark welcomes and enjoys the challenge.
"The villain usually drives the story. He's usually seeking something out," Mark said. "Without the villain, the hero doesn't become a hero. There's something to be said for that opposition."
He takes his characters seriously, seeing beyond the script and creating a life for the character. A complex hero, after all, deserves as nuanced of a rival.
"I'm trying to find the human themes within some pretty big characters," Mark said. "I'm trying to fit myself into it, so I can get behind what the character is doing – because sometimes my characters do really horrible things."
So how does Mark step into such dark, often gruesome roles?
"I like to build a life, so I feel like the character is coming from someplace and going someplace – like what you're seeing on screen is actually an interruption of a whole life. I think it was Samuel L. Jackson who said he likes to know what his chracters eat for breakfast."
Even when playing evil roles, Mark says the one thing you can't do is judge the character.
"Because then it becomes a caricature," he said. "Your character deserves more than that. As an actor, you deserve more than that."
With this approach, Mark's characters really began to evolve as he delved into each one. In Dexter, Paul Bennett, an abusive husband and drug addict, is an excellent example.
"Paul is clearly a horrible guy, but he's a complicated character because his intentions are good," Mark said. "That was the first time I got to play someone with that kind of dimension. I got to bring something different to the bad guy than the twirly mustache and malevolent chuckle."
Following Paul, Mark tried on the benevolent villain with Jacob in Lost. Now in its 11th season, Supernatural has given Mark his hallmark character. As Lucifer, Mark gets to know his character deeply, working to humanize an immortal so the viewer can connect and, ultimately, sympathize.
"The writers made Lucifer sympathetic," Mark said, "and you identify with Lucifer's plight. He's got a real issue with justice, and he needs to be heard. Since he's not being heard, he's gonna burn everyone down."
Sometimes, Lucifer even wears off on Mark.
"Last time I was on Supernatural, I started becoming very mischievous in life, and it would drive my wife crazy," Mark said. "I would prank her or mess with her – just sort of subconsciously. I started inhabiting that part of Lucifer that I really like."
More of the job than just an uptick in pranks has crept into Mark's daily life, however. In fact, Mark looks at the world much like he looks at his characters. On and off screen, Mark takes very little at face value. He seeks alternative perspectives – in politics, economics, science, technology, society – and endeavors to make them relatable to people.
"I have a very countercultural take on things," Mark said, "and there's very little out there that I identify with."
Now dabbling in writing, Mark has messages to share.
"I'm working on a sci-fi script, as well as a more political one," Mark said. "I'm trying to come up with projects that express my values. People learn from the stories we tell, and that makes artists part of the conscience of culture."

I've had the chance to read Basil's launch speech although two versions seem to be in circulation. It is better crafted than Tom's but still lacks. He had the sense to identify the potential Merchant Hotel problem and address it. He tackled questions over his business career (but not his past handling of Office Cost Allowances.)
The 'meat' is supposedly within the five pledges. Mike Nesbitt goes with the tack that they are nothing new. Cicero's Voice argues there is something more sinister going on. However, the pledges are built upon an inconsistent foundation. In April Basil McCrea believed:
"...opposition was the only coherent option for his party."
Yet at his launch a mere six months later he has shifted his ground and pledged the UUP under him would be:
"...committed to the Assembly, with all its faults, determined to make it work whatever the tribulations...a party that is emphatically...pro devolution."
So what is his real belief about what the UUP's position should be? In or out?
The first pledge of committing to the party is fine. The second peldge about the Education ministry is a mistake on a number of levels. To fulfil this pledge the UUP will have to run in excess of 30 candidates which will interfere significantly with vote management and place existing UUP seats in danger as well as risk squandering potential gains for Unionism overall. Second it involves a degree of misrepresentation of the Ruane problem. One of the downsides of mandatory coalitions is that such a blocking move in one department moves the problem if the nominating party stick with their choice of personality. It also shows a lack of realism. This will involve the UUP going from 3rd to 1st in party size and nearly doubling its Assembly membership.
The third pledge limits options particularly in a system where PR plays such a role. It also brings the second pledge into focus. A pact gives Unionism greater opportunity to gain the first two ministerial choices and thus control of education than pie in the sky electoral targets. As regards pledges four and five Cicero's analysis has a point.
In his conclusions the comment about self-promotion is deserving of a wry smile:
"Our message to the public has been blocked by too many voices and too many self promotional messages...Our message to the public has been blocked by too many voices and too many self promotional messages."
The invoking of God at the end is odd from the civic candidate seeking to make hay from his opponent's sabbatarianism and phrases like integrity and decency have an ability to haunt. Overall there is little genuine meat on the bones with him continuing to provide soothing but predictable soundbytes.

"So," said Baldy, "do you think there is anything to these Eleuthera rumours?"
"Could be, you know how those Sigilians go. The thing is, I wonder why he would go up there. Don't he know what happened to the barefoot bandit?" asked Stan.
"That's a horse of a whole nother colour," answered Zevelyn. "Still, why would he go up there where the population is so small. Surely it would be easier for him to hide here. There must be a reason. If there is anything to those rumours in the first place."
"Look," said Buster, "we don't need to be worrying about rumours, we need to make what plans we need to make and we need to get back to finding Baldy's treasure. Remember? That's what we were all excited about before Mary got taken. Are we gonna let that guy shut us down even after we took Mary back and left his places in smoke and ashes."
"Hey! Hold on a second. We didn't burn his places down, he did that to himself. We just took back what was ours. And not even all of that to tell the truth. At least we got the really valuable stuff back, huh?" said Baldy. "Hey Mary, get the map and the box one more time please."
(9:19 am Sat Nov 20, 2010)
So Mary went and got the map and the box one more time.

The teacher says to look for important information below the door of my house.
OK, so we tried using Caesar's code and got this:

"I have been thinking, the map sent Baldy to Blackbeard's Tower where he found the box. Now, what was in the box and how can it help us?" said Zevelyn.
"Well, there were thirteen doubloons and twenty four gems in the box." said Baldy.
"OK, so maybe thirteen, twenty four, or thirty seven are important numbers," said Zevelyn.
"Right, but the doubloons are each eight escudos so maybe eight times thirteen is important. What is that.... let's see... eighty plus three eights... eighty plus twenty four... one hundred and four. What does that tell us?" asked Baldy.
"I want to try thirteen first," said Zevelyn. Let me see...
If it's treasure that you seek.
You must apply a little heat.
Not to much or I may burn.
Then your desires I will spurn.
"Got it! Caesar then rot thirteen. But that doesn't make any sense. Why do it that way." said Zevelyn.
"What does it tell us?" asked Mary?
"I don't think this part tells us anything new. I think it is just a clue to heat up the map to get to the next bit. Let's see what that bit says."
To find this treasure
You must first fine wisdom
Then wisdom and the north star
Will give you your first clue
"OK, then, we have a spelling mistake, I think that should be 'You must first find wisdom' right?" said Zevelyn.

(9:40 am Sat Nov 20, 2010)
Jump. Hop, skip and...
Jump. Right in.
Jump. Up and dance.
You can jump up, you can jump down, you can jump forwards, you can jump backwards, you can even jump sideways.
You can even jump to conclusions.
If you really want to. But jumping to conclusions doesn't always work out the way you would like. Even if it does seem like fun at the time.
Jump start. Sometimes your bondo box might need this...
"What could it mean to find wisdom?" asked Baldy. "What sort of wisdom? How can wisdom and the north star give us our first clue? What, these haven't been clues so far? How can we just be looking for the first clue? This is beginning to get on my nerves. Maybe we should just put the map back in the bottle and chuck it back in the sea and go bury the box again."
"Don't be foolish!" said Buster. "After all we have been through already? That would be a big waste!"
(10:45 am Sat Nov 20, 2010)
Hold on
Help is coming
Hold on
For one more night
Time flows
Like and old hose
Leaking water
Left and right
Hold on
To your dreams girl
Hold on
With all your might
Days pass
Somehow too fast
Days pass
And so do nights
Jump up and dance
And find some romance
Look in her eyes
And let her see France
Moon and a cafe
Paris not halfway
Dance in the stars
Kiss in the doorway
I was doing semi OK for a while there this morning gentle and then everything just sort of fell apart. One little interruption after another. The gaps between not quite long enough to overcome the inertia of the stops.
And now, another interruption looms ahead. I must go on a pick up run in my car. Call it a half hour probably. And then once again, any flow will be broken. Once again I will be stuck. Bound. Tied down. Nailed to the ground. Down and down.
(10:53 am Sat Nov 20, 2010)
*** Kink ***
(11:17 am Sat Nov 20, 2010)
Back. But still distracted gentle reader. Still distracted and not yet ready to get back down to the task at hand.
(11:41 am Sat Nov 20, 2010)
See what I mean.
Kink. A sharp bend in something like a hose.
Kink. A sharp muscle pain in the neck or back.
Kink. A problem with a plan or operations.
Kinky. Well.
Come round here with your kinky hair and you kink up neck an I ga put a kink in ya plans fa tonight.
"OK, so what do you suggest we do next Buster?" asked Baldy.
"We need to keep looking for the treasure, that's what."
"Hold it, weren't you the one telling me I was too gung ho about the treasure?" asked Baldy.
"I just hate to start something and not finish it is all," said Buster. "That plus I don't like the idea of te bad guys causing the good guys to give up may be another part of it."
"Well, it seems like we have been at it forever and every time we think we are making progress, nothing comes out of it. Here we thought we were making progress and we are still trying to get to the first clue. The *first* clue! I mean come on. What if there are thirty clues? A thousand clues? We could spend out whole lives looking for this. And for what? On top of that, it has put Mary in danger and I don't like that. I don't know what I would do if anything happened to her."
"You are so sweet," said Mary.
"Even if we stop, Mary will still be in just as much danger as if we keep going. The only way to end that danger is to deal with the shop keeper and his friends," said Buster.
(11:54 am Sat Nov 20, 2010) 44866
"Buster is right," said Stan. "The only way to end the danger to all of us is to deal with it head on. You know this too Baldy. Don't let your concern for Mary cloud your thinking."
"OK, OK! Still. Why don't you tell us what your next step would be Buster?"
"Well, I think we should send a crew up North Eleuthera way to run down those rumours while th rest of us stay here and look for this treasure," replied Buster.
"OK, so the first part is easy enough but do tell us your next step in looking for the treasure genius," said Baldy.
*** Level ***
Level. Flat. Having no slope.
Level. A device to indicate if something is level.
Level. To make flat. To tear down until flat.
Level. A position on a scale or indicator or mark. What level is the water up to now?
Level. To take aim at.
Level. To speak plainly with. Level with me.
"Well, I am going to level with you here," said Buster, "I don't really know. 'Wisdom and the north star' doesn't really mean anything to me now."
"Great, so even if we want to take your advice and keep searching for the treasure, we don't have a clue what to do next or where to look next," laughed Baldy.
"I can't help that. It must be supposed to mean something to us though. Why leave the map and the clues in the first place if they are not meant to lead to the treasure?" said Buster.
"I don't know. Perhaps it is just some sort of dying joke. Perhaps Blackbeard knew he was leaving the island for the last time and decided to play a trick on anyone who would go looking for his treasure." said Zevelyn.
Here is a new word for you gentle reader: Conchspiracy
(12:55 pm Sat Nov 20, 2010)
"So let's get moving on the Eleuthera part of the plan then," said Buster. "At least we can deal with the ongoing danger to us all and then we will be able to keep looking for the treasure without having to look over our shoulders all the time."
"I'll get right on it," said Stan, "I should be back within an hour."
(1:15 pm Sat Nov 20, 2010)
Slowing down big time right now gentle reader. Mind is growing sluggish. I think I need to shut down for a while and go for a walk in the fresh air and sunshine. See if that can get the creative juices flowing again.
(3:52 pm Sat Nov 20, 2010)
Big time professional procrastinator in action. Find a way to not write. What's up with that?
After Stan left, Mary went to the kitchen to start on dinner. She wanted to lose herself in the mundane. To concentrate on the ordinary things of life in the hopes of forgetting the troubles that had shown up with the map.
She looked through her pantry and her fridge trying to decide what to make. It would have to be something that did not require a lot of preparation and cooking time.
She decided on a salad, some hamburger crumble, some canned green beans and onions covered with melted cheddar. She took out some frozen guava duff from her freezer for dessert and looked around for something else to have as a part of the main course. She decided on some garlic toast and some pink rice.
She chopped up some onions and put them into a pot with some fresh thyme and a little butter to cook down. While that was cooking she opened the can of green beans. She also cut a block of cheddar and grated in preparation.
When the onions were done she separated them into three parts. One part went into a pot with some water which she brought to a boil for the rice. The other went into a frying pan waiting for the hamburger meat, the third was set aside for the green beans.
While the water was boiling for the rice, she seasoned up the meat. Lots of garlic, some black pepper, some more thyme, some vinegar, some tomato sauce, some dry mustard, some catsup.
(4:27 pm Sat Nov 20, 2010)
When she finished the meat, she turned on the fire under the frying pan and let the pan heat for a bit before putting the meat in.
The water for the rice started to boil so she put in the rice and added some curry powder and then covered the pot and reduced the heat.
When the burger was almost fried, the turned off the heat and tilted the pan to let the grease drain to the low side and used a spoon to spoon out the grease into a jar from under her sink. That done, she turned the heat on to finish cooking the meat.
Then she put the can of green beans into a no stick pot and brought it to a boil. She drained off the beans in a colander and then put the shredded cheddar and the set aside onions into the post and stirred everything together.
She checked on the rice which was almost done.
*** Stimulate ***
(4:41 pm Sat Nov 20, 2010)
Stimulate. Induce. Provoke. Stir feelings or emotions. Cause alertness. Make energetic.
Stimulus. OK then.
Mary quickly cut up some lettuce, onions, carrots, spinach, and tomatoes and mixed them together in a large bowl. She poured in some olive oil and tossed the salad mixture before adding some balsamic vinegar. A little garlic salt and some black pepper and one final toss and she put the bowl in the fridge to chill.
One more check and the rice was done. Perhaps a little overdone but that was OK as both she and Baldy were partial to a little rice pot cake.
Every thing was done so Mary put everything in serving dishes and called out to let Baldy and the rest know dinner would soon be served.
[ Thu Nov 18, 2010 - evening ]
Stan returned and Mary decided to send him home to see if Devlin would like to come over for some dinner.
Stan smiled and went home to ask. It would be nice if Devlin came over for dinner. Except that he would probably bring the rat if he came and that might be a pain.
(5:06 pm Sat Nov 20, 2010)
Mary remembered that she forgot the garlic toast so she quickly too some frozen brand out of her freezer and put some slices into her toaster oven.
Well gentle reader, it seems the dinner has really helped me with my word count lately. If you decide to make this dinner yourself, let me know how you like the various dishes.
(5:40 pm Sat Nov 20, 2010)
Mary looked out of her kitchen window and saw Devlin returning with Killer and Rug. She smiled broadly and called out a welcome.
"Hey there Mary, how are you doing? You took a little vacation recently I see." said Devlin. "You forgot to tell me this time so I could feed Baldy for you hey?"
Mary was conflicted. She hated to lie to Devlin but she didn't feel like going into everything.
"I didn't really go on vacation. Something came up that kept me away for a few days is all. Sorry I didn't get to tell you. Baldy was fine though." said Mary.
They all sat down at the dinner table and Mary served up the food. Everyone enjoyed their meal and after their duff for dessert.
Mary and Develin went out to the front porch after dinner to sit and drink a mug of tea together. The dogs went to the back porch and the birds to the dilly tree.
Baldy was surprised at dinner that Rug was not as much of a pain as he had expected him to be. In fact. He was downright decent at dinner which was really something.
"I never did thank you properly the other day for your help with finding Mary," said Baldy, "I really appreciated it."
"I was happy to help," said Rug, "I like Mary a lot, she is always nice to me. I am glad she is back safe. Is everything OK now?"
"Mostly but the people who took her are still on the loose, we are looking for them but no real luck so far. If you could keep your eyes open around here until we deal with them I would appreciate it," said Baldy.
"I can handle that. How can I let you know if I see something though. Are you going to be nearby the whole time or what?" asked Rug.
"I will get a radio for you from Buster before you leave tonight and you can use that to get me." said Baldy.
[ Thu Nov 18, 2010 - night ]
At ten Devlin left with his dogs and went home, Rug with a radio and Mary and her household went to bed for the night. Mary to sweet dreams, Baldy to troubled dreams.
(6:27 pm Sat Nov 20, 2010)
Well gentle reader, it looks like I should be able to get to three thousand words tonight but I am not sure I have the energy to go for thirty five hundred or four thousand like I had wanted. Still, yesterday and today look pretty good word wise and with my best day so far tomorrow I should be able to cross the line. It would have been nice to do better today and not needed a seasons best tomorrow to get there.
For his part, Devlin had sweet dreams as well.
And with that I will bid you good night gentle reader.

Trinseo will cease manufacturing operations for its Latex Binders Business at Livorno, Italy.
Trinseo's decision to implement this capacity reduction is in response to SB latex market conditions within Europe. In particular, the European paper coatings industry is seeing a significant decline in demand ultimately impacting the SB latex market.
"As the paper market continues to decline in Italy and across Europe, rationalization of SB latex assets is necessary to maintain the competitiveness of our Latex Binders business," said Jan Muller, Global Business Director for Latex Binders. "This change will bring our production capacity more closely into balance with demand for SB latex in paper coating applications."
The rationalization follows similar moves in 2013, when Trinseo reduced European latex capacity by 80,000 dry metric tonnes through asset changes at its sites in Hamina, Finland; Rheinmunster, Germany; and Terneuzen, The Netherlands.
"The Latex Binders business is, and will continue to be, strategically important for Trinseo. It's a business in which we will continue to invest for sustainable growth, particularly related to Adhesives and Construction applications," said Hayati Yarkadas, Senior Vice President and Business President for Trinseo Performance Materials. "Our vision for the Latex Binders business remains unchanged: to drive growth through innovation, customer intimacy and collaboration."
Trinseo is a global materials solutions provider and manufacturer of plastics, latex binders, and synthetic rubber.

Stevenage 0 Everton 4: Toffees progress with comfortable win but night is soured after Oviedo suffers horrific injury
It had all the ingredients. A thunderstorm engulfed the Lamex Stadium shortly before kick-off, doing its worst to the pitch.
There was a team well versed in the art of the FA Cup upset, having knocked out Newcastle United three years previously and taken the same team to a replay in 1998 when still a non-League club.
There was a genuine sense of football as it used to be with expectant fans arriving on the terraces an hour before kick-off to savour the atmosphere.
Rounded off: Heitinga celebrates after scoring his side's third goal shortly after the second-half
Double: Scottish striker Steven Naismith slots home Everton's second after the half-hour mark
Ahead: Everton's Steven Naismith (right) celebrates the opening goal after five minutes
Other end: Naismith swiped home from close-range just after Stevenage nearly took the lead
Click here for our brilliant Match Zone
Stevenage: Day 6, Ashton 5, Jones 6 (Parrett 6 72), Morais 6 (Andrade 81), Charles 7, Akins 6, Zoko 7 (Deacon 85), Heslop 6, Freeman 7, Smith 6, Hartley 5.
Subs not used: Smith, Wedgbury, Burrow, Tounkara.
Booked: Hartley, Smith.
Everton: Robles 7, Hibbert 6, Baines 6, Jagielka 6 (Heitinga 7 46), McGeady 7, Oviedo 6 (Osman 7 22), Mirallas 7 (Gueye 81), Naismith 8, McCarthy 6, Barry 6, Stones 6.
Subs not used: Howard, Lukaku, Vellios, McAleny.
Goals: Naismith 5, 32, Heitinga 55, Gueye 84
Man of the match: Naismith
Referee: Anthony Taylor
Attendance: 6,913
And there was one of the game's
requisite giants in Everton, five times winners of the FA Cup and
finalists in 2009, managed by Roberto Martinez, who won the competition
with Wigan last year.
In short, Stevenage, amid the gloom of a windy night, was the perfect setting to humble the mighty.
for the club bottom of League One it would take a lot more than wishful
thinking and an atmospheric evening to unsettle this current Everton
side. The natural order of things would prevail.
An early chance aside, Stevenage never truly competed in this match and Everton's impressive season continues.
'My players showed an incredible love for the game,' said Martinez, who is happy to talk up the old Cup, having experienced a touch of its magic last year.
'There were no excuses. It doesn't matter where you play, we were going to do what was needed to win the game. That's a real important ingredient if you want to be successful in this competition.'
Three up: Heitinga headed home Everton's third in the 55th minute to all but seal victory
Unfortunate: Simon Heslop is fouled by Bryan Oviedo, but the Costa Rican came out with a horrific injury
Worry: Everton players surround team-mate Bryan Oviedo after his injury in the first-half
truth, there was but one moment in the evening when Everton looked in
any trouble. It came in the fifth minute when Joel Robles spilled a shot
and the ball bounced nicely for Lucas Akins.
goal seemed inevitable as Akins struck but somehow John Stones had
positioned himself in the line of fire and the ball struck him. It
seemed to come off his shoulder — some in the crowd claimed it was his
hand. No matter, the chance passed … and the game, too.
was a massive early moment,' said Stevenage manager Graham Westley. 'If
we get the goal then, really it could have been different. But you can
always say that. Over the 90 minutes mentally we didn't show enough
'There were
key moments when we took our foot off the gas in terms of our sense of
belief. It was a heavy and disappointing defeat.
'The goals we conceded were soft — we didn't make Everton work for them — and if you're going to make these sort of defensive errors you won't stay in any game.'
Quick: Everton team-mates and referee Anthony Taylor gesture towards the bench to allow physios on
Mortified: Everton's Bryan Oviedo looks on in shock as he holds his broken ankle
was not wrong in that assessment. A minute after that early miss,
Everton were ahead with Kevin Mirallas's shot saved by Chris Day in the
Stevenage goal but falling for Aidan McGeady.
cross was not properly cleared and fell for Steven Naismith, who
finished from close range on six minutes. It was a clinical response,
entirely predictable against a team who had won one of their previous
nine League One fixtures.
was an awful moment on 20 minutes when Bryan Oviedo's seemingly
innocuous challenge on Simon Heslop resulted in a gruesome double
fracture of the Everton player's left leg. From the resulting free-kick
came one of Stevenage's better chances, with Filipe Morais producing a
delightful strike that Robles did well to touch away.
Battling Stevenage were undone again from an awful error on 32 minutes. Leon Osman, on for Oviedo, played a through-ball that Jon Ashton should have dealt with comfortably. Instead, he miscontrolled, allowing Naismith through on goal, with the Scot duly beating Day and scoring his second.
Assist: Everton physios hold Oviedo's ankle up after rushing onto the pitch
Challenge: Everton's Leighton Baines (left) and Stevenage's Filipe Morais battle for the ball
endeavoured not to be overcome by the size of their task in the second
half. They threatened briefly when Luke Freeman found space on the left,
completed a stepover but shot over.
on 55 minutes the game effectively ended as a contest. Leighton Baines
lined up a shot which deflected wildly to the edge of the box where
Mirallas stood with his back to goal.
Belgium forward conjured a spectacular overhead kick which shot across
goal and was met at the far post by John Heitinga, on as a second-half
substitute, who scored on what could be his last game for the club, with
Galatasaray and Roma vying for his services.
Everton's fourth came on 84 minutes with the game drifting towards its inevitable conclusion.
As Stevenage tired, Osman played in substitute Magaye Gueye, who cut inside and evaded a challenge before beating Day with ease.
persevered and Akins had a shot cleared off the line at the death with
Robles having to smother the ball from Dean Parrett on the rebound.
It was commendable stuff but of little significance. The game had been up long before.
New man: Aiden McGeady in action in the second-half after making his first start for the club
Going nowhere: Simon Heslop of Stevenage is closed down by Leighton Baines and Gareth Barry

text: Kahlo in Real Life December 04, 2002 Mexico City tries to turn interest in Hollywood film into tourism in painter's hometown By: Maxine Cass Mexico Frida," a Hollywood biography of the unorthodox Mexican painter Frida Kahlo, drew critical acclaim on its debut last month and even some Oscar buzz for its star and producer, Salma Hayek. It also is expected to increase public interest in Kahlo and her husband, muralist Diego Rivera, which could be a benefit for travel agents sending clients to Mexico City this winter. Several museums are showcasing the couple's works, and tour operators are offering commissionable packages.The Museo Frida Kahlo at Casa Azul (the Blue House), in the city's Coyoacan district. Kahlo was born and died here, and no place in Mexico City so evokes the presence of the flamboyant woman who lived each day in pain after a serious accident but still pursued art, love and radical politics. Her last painting of watermelons and an urn with her ashes are in this house museum, along with a photograph of Lenin, her wheelchair and a painting of a one-time paramour, Leon Trotsky.Museo Casa Estudio Diego Rivera y Frida Kahlo, where the couple lived from 1934 to 1940, is in the city's San Angel District. None of Kahlo's paintings are displayed in the two houses and studios, which are connected by an aerial walkway, but the household furnishings from their unusual living arrangements remain.Museo Dolores Olmedo, in the Xochimilco District, belonged to Diego Rivera's patroness and sometime model. It is a showcase for 144 of his works, from sculpture to sketches, paintings and his collection of pre-Hispanic clay figures and dogs, as well as 25 Kahlo paintings.Museo de Arte Moderno, in Chapultepec Park, includes Kahlo's work amid that of other 20th-century artists, including Rivera, David Alfaro Siqueiros, Jose Clemente Orozco, Dr. Atl, Rufino Tamayo and Juan O'Gorman, who built the innovative Casa Estudio complex for Rivera and Kahlo.Call the Mexico Tourism Board at 800-44-639-426.

Garage Ideas: Interior and Exterior Updates
Today's garages are as design-forward as they are functional. Find inspiration from our beautiful garage photos and ideas.
Everything In This Slideshow
1 of 15
Remodel and Repurpose
Rather than demolish a wobbly old garage, restore its former glory. This one-car garage was so unstable that it had to be propped up with timbers, but it was restored because of its historical tie to the house. Fixed up and furnished, it now serves as a much-used entertaining hub.
2 of 15
Add Style that Endures
Whatever architectural style takes your fancy, call attention to your home's exterior with gorgeous, durable design choices. A peaked roofline with a fanciful cupola, shingle siding, crisp white trim, and wood doors issue a warm welcome.
3 of 15
Consider a Carport
If your home is without a garage, consider a carport. A freestanding or attached carport offers less protection than a garage but more ventilation. Extending the home's roof over the driveway and repeating exterior color choices integrates the carport without sacrificing style.
Design tip: New plantings, garden structures, and hardscaping help an addition blend in with the existing house. Such elements make a home feel welcoming and soften edges.
4 of 15
Update with Molding
Turn a basic garage door into a standout feature by adding molding. Decorative molding creates a distinctive pattern on this garage door. Consider mimicking architectural shapes found throughout your home's exterior on the face of your garage door.
5 of 15
Add an Overhead Trellis
Trellises built above garage doors provide a method to integrate plantings into the front of the home. Hanging baskets, colorful plants, and a brick driveway add curb appeal.
Plant Hanging Baskets
Hanging baskets are an easy way to add color and personality to a garage. Watch this video and learn how to save money by planting your own.
7 of 15
Upgrade Garage Details
Door pulls positioned at the center of the garage doors allude to the days of horse-drawn buggies. Carriage house doors would fling open to allow horses entrance into their stalls. Recessed paneling, mullioned windows, and a classic sconce add to the charm.
8 of 15
Customize Wood Doors
Choosing multiple types of wood or using contrasting stains can help achieve an inviting, authentic effect. An elegant scrolling sconce above the garage door enhances its natural, clean-lined look.

Coordinate Looks
The right touches can give a home's facade a charming character boost. A short, sloping roof over the garage that matches the roofline above the front entry streamlined the exterior of this Dutch Colonial house and made room for a grand new master suite.

Embrace Color
Enhance garage doors by borrowing from your home's exterior color palette. Appealing to an earthy color scheme, this garage door features the same vibrant paint color that covers the home's siding and shutters to boost curb appeal and make a better first impression.

Look to Garage Walls
An easy way to organize your garage is to get items off the floor. Maximize space by going vertical. Slatted wall panels keep sports gear accessible and away from the wheels of cars pulling into and out of the garage.

Include a Workstation
A traditional potting bench combines with pegboard to create a compact garage work space. Small wheeled bins beneath the bench are labeled to serve as an easy-access recycling center that tucks away when not in use.

Boost Storage Cabinets
Chalkboard fronts add character to these garage storage cabinets and make it easy to label contents. Shallow drawers and pegboard on the wall keep smaller tools close at hand. Pulls placed high on the upper cabinets limit access to inquisitive children.

Poetry undoubtedly should reflect the variety of perspectives and challenge the status quo in some sense. The poem "Immigrants" by Pat Mora tries to convey the perspective of the immigrant people who want to find their future in the USA. The author is quite successful in showing the conflicting emotions of people who move to a strange country. Because of that this piece of poetry is a valuable alternative thread in the American literature.
I decided to focus specifically on "Immigrants" because the idea behind it is very significant as well as emotionally moving. Being an immigrant myself it is easier to relate to the poem. On the personal level, reading these simple lines makes me remember the experience my family had with immigration. It is of utmost importance that the writers make such themes visible to the general public, especially in a multicultural country like the USA. On more general level, though, the poem may touch a great number of people because of the universal values it contains and the eternal struggle of the person to feel accepted. The poet asks "Will they like our boy, our girl…" and one can imagine the worries of the concerned parents. This is something that any parent can relate to because of the innate protectiveness towards children. Also, it is interesting to notice how Pat Mora conveys the feeling of being torn between two cultures. She describes how during the daytime immigrants try being all-American while they whisper in their native languages, in the evening.
All these examples show the difficult situation, both cultural and emotional that the immigrants often experience. That is why such poetry and stories should be heard more often to raise awareness of the existing problems. Finally, on a deeply personal level and the broader societal one I believe that the poem "Immigrants" provokes interesting thoughts and encourages asking more questions.

What do you want in the next gen ZuneHD?
If and when they make a new ZuneHD, whatever it's going to be called, what type of hardware/software changes do you want made?
Here's my list (in no particular order):
Bluetooth streaming audio
802.11n WiFi
Dedicated volume up/down buttons
USB 3.0 connection
Has anyone else noticed that the screws on the back corrode? :confused: The first weeks they have a nice shine, but then they get dirty and oxidize quick. Definately something I'd like changed.
Better processor. Yes the NVidia Tegra is great, but there are better, maybe the dual-core snapdragon?
Better screen. The OLED screen is great but it's small. I'm fine with the 16:9 format, but a higher resolution would be appreciated.
Post any other ideas you have :D
and speakers ^.^
Much more advanced EQ and audio effects/enhancement system.
Better, more powerfull audio output
REAL Xvid support (needs to play every Xvid file at any resolution)
S-AMOLED screen with really high res
Support for purchases and downloads from the Windows Phone 7 marketplace
Smaller bezel
Actually, I want it to run a very stripped down version of the WP7 OS, without Office and calendar etc. It could have the same UI as today (more or less), but run on WP7, so we could have all the apps, Xbox Live and the better Internet Explorer offered in WP7.
More than anything, I want it to keep on not being a computer and focus on the content.
-Cheap 64GB (or SD slot)
-Not tethered to Zune software (or add linux support)
-Dedicated Vol, Play/Pause, ffwd rew buttons
-Gapless support (It may already work on the HD but I have a zune 80, gapless mp3's don't work perfectly on some tracks no matter what I do)
-mini HDMI port on device because I enjoy not lugging a dock around to watch stuff on TV
You do know how awesome that media button on the side is? Much better than my Cowon S9's top buttons, which I had to turn off because they changed the volume etc all the freakin time :S
Be realistic. They won't make it drag'n'drop no matter how much anyone wants it. It contradicts the entire concept. And don't you know how much MSFT hates Linux? Because they really, really do. A simplified Mac version is coming up though.
Actually now that I think about it what would be as good as drag and drop/linux support would be a slimmed down version of the zune software that has a smaller memory footprint and doesn't have services running continuously in the background.
Auto tagging for videos would be great or even intelligent tagging based on file name and path.
I see your point about it changing volume (in your pocket I assume), so they should have a hold switch if more buttons are added.
another thing:An SDK that no longer requires that hack to utilize all the functions of the HD.
another thing:Continued support for the older zunes (I will use my 80 till it dies and no longer can be repaired)
Yeah, well I want my Zune to tansform into an airplane and fly me to Vegas for the next CES, but it's not gonna happen. Your wish about MS doing stuff like Linux support is just as whacky as my wish :) And backround services taking up ram? Zune isn't slow on my PC is it slow on yours?
I'm already great.
-Custom EQ that actually works well and doesn't lower overall volume
-More battery life
-Faster processor and overall performance
-802.11n support
-Zune software optional
-Expandable memory
-No more annoying reserved space, or make it easier to get rid of
I could go on and on with this list but I'll stop here :D, as I most likely won't be buying a next gen ZuneHD.
I finally gotta post a few "wants" here, so let me begin:
I want,...
4.3" screen
Custom EQ w/better volume output
(for my full-sized cans)
Same build quality (excellent)
Improved game support (allow the
usage & purchase of the WP7
games and apps)
Minimum 40hrs audio/7hrs video
playback time
2 versions: 1 w/wifi, the other w/a
dedicated 3G connection - for constant
connection to the cloud
Continued speedy browser connection,
since I'm quite used to the pretty solid
functionality of my Android browser
Netflix - 'nuff said on this!!!
I'll see if I can think of other things later on, but this will suffice for a "wish list" for now. This does need to be a complete media experience, and these are the things I see as a necessity for a device to become a success nowadays.
I would LOVE if they released a Zune that ran WP7 without the phone part! Would be super awesome :)

Lord knows I have way too many Lush products- I can't help myself! Lush has so many incredible products, but sometimes it can be super overwhelming because they have what seems like an endless amount of options. I've been shopping at Lush for a few years now, & I've tried a ton of their stuff- some have made it into my list of holy grail products, and some… not so much.
On my Insta stories I always share my favorite bath bombs, and I get a ton of questions on my favorites & other product recommendations from Lush.
With that said, I thought it'd be super fun to talk all about my favorite Lush products, & share things I still want to try from them! Being the huge beauty junkie that I am, I'm always looking to try new things, so please send me all your recommendations that I haven't included in here- I want to know what y'all are loving!
So let's jump in 🙂
Let's start with my favorite: bath bombs & bubble bars!!
Lush splits its store by product type- shampoo, conditioner, face products, bubble bars & bath bombs, soaps, etc. My favorite part of the store is definitely the bath bombs! I'm not going to lie- to be very honest, I don't know exactly what beneficial advantages bath bombs & bubble bars have for skin health, but they're freaking fun. Nothing is more satisfying than that initial contact that results in colorful swirly water! Lush scents are amazing, and bath bombs can totally change your bath experience.
In case you're not super familiar with Lush products, here's a little explanation: bubble bars are exactly what they sound like- a ton of pretty colorful bubbles! But if you're looking for more of a fizzy bath, go for a bath bomb. The bath bombs tend to have a little more color & pigment, if you're wanting to go for a really bright & colorful bath.
My favorite bath bombs are:
INTERGALACTIC: my ALL-TIME FAVORITE. Smells amazing, and I'd probably go so far as to say it's the most beautiful. If you're looking for the perfect Instagram pic, I'd say go for this one- it gives you beautiful swirls of bright yellow, green, blue, & pink.
BIG BLUE: This one's super relaxing & refreshing. If you're more sensitive to strong smells, this one's a good pick! It smells like lavender & a hint of lime.
METAMORPHOSIS: I'm dying to try this one!! One of my friends sent me a snapchat video of this one, and it's so pretty- after the grey fizzes out, it exposes gorgeous bright colors!
PINK: For anyone who's not trying to spend $10 on a bath, this one's awesome! I know bath bombs can get a little pricey, so if you're wanting to try out bath bombs for the first time without splurging on a bunch, this one's awesome to give you a little hint of the magic that is bath bombs. 🙂
Onto bubble bars!
BIG BANG: This one gives you gorgeous blue water with lots and lots of bubbles!
THE COMFORTER: This one's soooo creamy.
SUNNYSIDE: I'd go so far as to say this one's my fave bubble bar. It gives you a "liquid gold" bathing experience- so fun! The only bad thing I can say is that it leaves your tub super glittery, so make sure you rinse or scrub it all off afterwards!
Lush face masks are also some of the best in the market! I love how they're all natural and (don't quote me on this, but I'm pretty sure) vegan. They're pretty much all sensitive skin-friendly, which is awesome!
They have two types of face masks: self-preserving & fresh. The self-preserving ones can last for a few months, while the fresh face masks have an expiration date. I've tried the fresh masks before, but for me personally, I prefer to just go with the self-preserving. I love experimenting with face masks, so I hate that I only have 2 weeks to use up the fresh ones. If you're the type of person who uses a face mask start to finish, though, these are awesome!! Just be sure to keep them in your fridge when you're storing them.
Here are some of my faves:
MASK OF MAGNAMINTY: This one's a cult favorite, and the one I've been using for years and years. It leaves my skin feeling incredibly refreshed & smooth like a baby's butt.
CUP O COFFEE: This mask smells extremely potent, so if you're not crazy on strong scents stay away from this one! The caffeine in this one boosts your skin, and the coffee grounds help to scrub away dirt.
ROSY CHEEKS: I've tried this one before but don't currently have it on me. It's amazing for soothing your skin; it has calamine in it, which is super good if you have irritated skin!
Onto body products!
Lush also makes a ton of shower jellies, lotions, cleansers, shaving creams, & so much more! My favorite body products from Lush are:
DREAM CREAM: This one leaves my skin feeling incredibly moisturized, but not like an oil-slick. I hate super heavy moisturizers, and this one's perfect for my preferences.
OCEAN SALT: My FAVE scrub!!! You can use this on your face or your body, so it's super sensitive skin-friendly. It's not too harsh, either, so you don't have to use it super sparingly. Love love love.
LEMONY FLUTTER: This one's awesome for winter time if you get super dry skin in the winter months, like I do. I always keep one in my purse in case I need it while I'm out!
Hair favorites:
DAMAGED: I always use this one after I get my hair colored. If you have super dry, damaged hair, this one's perfect.
I LOVE JUICY: I personally am not a fan of Lush's shampoo bars, just because I prefer something easy peezy that I can squeeze out of a bottle. This one, though, comes out of a bottle, and it's perfect for the days when you haven't washed your hair in a week (girl, I know you know what I'm talking about.)
YAY- you made it to the end!! Hopefully this helped any of you who are overwhelmed by how many products Lush has! If any of you have specific questions about any of the products, please shoot me an e-mail or a comment- I would love to chat! Also send me all your recommendations for anything I didn't mention; like I said, I love trying out new stuff, so I would totally love to try out some of y'all's favorites. 🙂

I BelieveI help people divorce differently. I help people divorce with dignity. It's just that simple.
About Kurt Chacon
I am a divorce coach and collaborative divorce attorney.
In 2010 I changed the focus of my practice to collaborative family law, in part because of my own divorce, and in part because I discovered there are lawyers practicing collaborative family law who do not fully understand or embrace the process. I discovered this because my wife and I chose the collaborative law process. The process I experienced in my own collaborative divorce was not the process I have come to study, learn and embrace. I am a member of both the Collaborative Law and Family Law Sections of the State Bar of Texas. I am also a member of the Collaborative Law Institute of Texas (CLI-TX). I have completed basic, intermediate and advanced training through CLI-TX. I also have trial experience in family law- temporary hearings, contempt and modifications, and trial on the merits.
I've been a member of the State bar of Texas since 1982. I have practiced personal injury trial law in both the plaintiff and defense bar in both state and Federal courts. I have trial experience in personal injury, products liability, workmen's compensation, wrongful death, occupational disease and medical malpractice.
I am a native Texan, born in Port Arthur and raised in Groves. I attended Port Neches Groves HS and graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a BA in Government with Honors in 1979. I graduated from The University of Texas Law School in 1982. I have lived in Dallas since 1986. I have two children, Isabella and Evan. I am a Stephens Minister at Woodcreek

I usually only eat herbs, green plants, twigs and some occasional bark, but, let me tell you, I could not pass this up.
When you sit down at the table the first thing you do is to order a big plate of pulley bones. I ordered 9 for the group that I was traveling with. Boy oh boy!!! were they ever good!!
Then I started in on my main meal. You just have to eat some of everything at Shealy's. I had a bit of barbeque pork, some hash and rice, a fried chicken liver, some mac and cheese, greenbeans and the list goes on-----all was washed down with the BEST sweet tea on the planet.
I did have to loosen my 'belly band' after all of that. (I need to talk to my handlers to see if I can just get a vest for my pins and such. This belly band really restricts my eating.) Due to the restriction I had to pass on stopping at the dessert bar........oh myyyyyyyyyyyy..........
|What a plate!!!!
|We all ate to much!!
After we finished eating we loaded into our cars (I really mean loaded) . We really needed to be assisted to the cars we had eaten so much. Joyce set me on the console of the surburban so that I could have a good view. We rode in a caravan following Liz to her house for our meeting.
I was formally introduced to the group and I told my story about how I had come to be so famous. Everyone was really impressed (boy this is really going to her head--Joyce).
Liz and Buck would be leaving for a weekend of trout fishing in Cherokee and thought it would be good for me to tag along. After discussion about safety and record keeping my handlers decided that I could go along. So, stay tuned for my trout fishing adventures----I hope Liz feeds me well----I love fish!!
So all in all I added another 80 miles with this trip. This brings my total tonight to 780 miles.

I picked up one of these recently:
- inexpensive
- light
- large, easy to use buttons that don't get stuck.
- no need for a "double-tap" to start it, or to come out of dimmed mode (like, say, a cell phone)
- large. This is not a con for me, I have big hands and I want a large, easy-to-read stopwatch. But it's not small.
- noisy. It has a "beep" feature for starts and stops, and sometimes I just want to do things silently. There is no option for turning that off.
- battery replacement, if necessary, would require disassembling the stopwatch
The great features of the stopwatch for me is that it both counts up times, with a memory for splits or laps, and does countdowns. This makes it handy for hands-free timed workouts such as EDT, snatch tests, or Crossfit-type "as many rounds as possible in X minutes" workouts.

Inept Hamas bombers kill their own people
The IDF says that they've tracked at least 160 total rockets fired that fell short and landed in Gaza, killing Palestinians and destroying infrastructure such as a vital power plant......that Israelis pay for and maintain.
Of course when this happens the Palestinians run hysterically to the friendly media and blame the Israelis for the death and destruction, blame the media are only too happy to regurgitate to the world.

Ah, yes, that paragon of truth, the IDF. I wouldn't believe the IDF if they said the sky was blue.

"By way of deception thou shalt do war." ( motto of Israel's Mossad)
An Israel Air Force general charged with all aerial ground support during the campaign in Gaza denied Tuesday that Israel targeted the Gaza Strip's only power plant earlier in the day.
The power plant was hit by a strike in the early hours of Tuesday, knocking out electricity through the Strip and setting off a massive fire that sent gigantic plumes of black smoke over much of Gaza throughout the day.
"The State of Israel did not attack Gaza's power plant," said Brig. Gen. Yaron Rosen, the commander of IAF Air Support and Helicopter Air Division.
"It has no interest (in that)," he added. "We transfer to them the electricity, we transfer in the gas, we transfer in the food in order to prevent a humanitarian disaster. So we attacked the power plant?"
The general said it was possible the plant had been hit by Israel by mistake.
Munitions, he said, can sometimes "skip," and strike targets unintentionally, as occurred during 2008-9′s Operation Cast Lead.
"The matter is under investigation," he added.

That might have happened, but it isn't in Israel's interests to kill the power to Gaza.
It is however, in the interest of the Palestinians to blame Israel when they accidentally killed their own power plant.
I think that's the most likely scenario.

"...it isn't in Israel's interests to kill the power to Gaza."
It may not be in Israel's interest as you view Israel's interest, Ed. It is in their interests as THEY see it, and as they have seen it from the outset - drive every Palestinian possible off their land and kill all those that won't run.
"When the LORD your God brings you into the land you are to possess and casts out the many peoples living there, you shall then slaughter them all and utterly destroy them…You shall make no agreements with them nor show them any mercy." -Deuteronomy Chapter 7

P.S. The Palestinians are just the initial targets. Other neighbors might as well put their running shoes on.
Genesis, Chapter 15, Verse 18: "In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt (Nile) unto the great river, the river Euphrates (Iraq)."
Zionists will never rest until they have stolen part of Egypt to its west, and huge parts of Iraq, Lebanon, Syria & Jordan to its north and west (as well as part of Saudi Arabia to the south.
Such a radical redrawing of the Middle Eastern map will require a major regional - or perhaps even global? - war one day in the future. (Could that be why the U.S. is goading Russia into WWIII?)

Israel has used 50,000 missiles in the current assault, killing almost 1,500 Palestinians and smashing 40% of Gaza into rubble.
Hamas' mostly symbolic missiles have killed zero Israelis and broke one mirror and one teacup.

1. We haven't heard reports of deaths. We will check into it.
2. People were killed, but by a faulty Palestinian rocket/bomb (Ed's favorite)
3. O.K., we killed them, but they were terrorists.
4. O.K., they were civilians, but they were being used as human shields.
5. O.K., there were no fighters in the area, so it was our mistake. But we kill civilians by accident. They do it on purpose.
6. O.K., we kill far more civilians than they do, but look how terrible other countries are!
7. Why are you still talking about Israel? Are you some kind of anti-Semite?

Pix: Dr Yee
Kota Kinabalu Election Court Judge David Wong Dak Wah will deliver on Sept 17, this year its judgement on the election petition by Pensiangan Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) division chief Danny Anthony Andipai.
Andipai, whose candadicy was rejected on the Feb 24, 2008 nomination day, filed the petition on April9, 2008 seeking the election of Parti Bersatu Rakyat Sabah (PBRS) president and Federal Rural and Regional Deputy Minister Tan Sri Joseph Kurup in Pensiangan be declared null an void.
Meanwhile, Judge Datuk Abdul Aziz Abdul Rahim will deliver judgement for the Api Api election petition on Sept 15, 2008.
The petition was filed on April 9, 2008 by Sabah PKR deputy head Christina Liew's agent Audrey Karen Barry, seeking to nullify Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) deputy president and Sabah Resources Development and Information Technology Minister Datuk Dr Yee Moh Chai's win in Api Api in the March 8, 2008 general elections.
In both cases, the petitioners sought to declare the elections' results null and void due to various breaches of the Election Offences Act 1954 and the Elections (Conduct of Election) Regulation 1981.

Short post today, because my To-Do list is quite long.
Two articles due tomorrow for the newspaper where I freelance, my novel deadline is looming in November, I need to log in some at-home hours for work, and I have two phone interviews for the articles set for this afternoon and am trying to track down a third quote as we speak. Whew. And of course my Little Miss has only been up a little over an hour and she's needier today than ever - Murphy's Law!
But it's okay. It will all get done. What do you do to de-stress and focus when your list gets a little intimidating? I know its good to prioritize and realize you can't do everything, but sometimes the list is a list of MUSTs and not just NEEDs. I don't have a choice with my deadlines, I can't put those off like I could vacuuming the house. (Which thankfully got done the other day!)
What are your de-stressing tips? I just made strawberry cheesecake muffins for my Little Miss so maybe that's the first step ;)
Welcome to my world of writing! It's an exciting place to be - a world of joy, laughter, tears, smiles, frustration, and other emotions too deep to touch. Writing is my offering, my sacrifice - and I know that I am exactly where God wants me to be.

Had protected sex and unprotected oral sex. Getting sore throat. What are the chances of STD?
I am a 27 y/o male. I had protected sex with a woman 5 days ago but unprotected oral sex . I barely knew this woman. I have a slight sore throat today and I think it was there yesterday too. I was also exposed (about a week ago) to someone who said that they were sick and shouldnt get near me but I gave that person a hug anyway. I was wondering if I am over thinking things. Or if there is a chance I could have caught something from her. Or if I just caught whatever it was that my friend had. I have found a lot of contradicting advice on the internet saying that the chances of catching an STD/ STI from oral sex on a woman is very slim. While others say its very possible. Obviously you cant diagnose me but I was wondering how worried I should be. Do you think I could have caught something?
