- Punta del Este, Uruguay: Like Venice Beach… Only Better
Posted on June 13, 2013 by Suzan Haskins
To borrow a phrase from rock group REM, Punta del Este and the Uruguayan coast is, "the end of the world as we know it." Dig your toes into the silky sand..
- The World's Best Health Care Plan
Posted on June 11, 2013 by David Hammond
If you fall in love with Uruguay, as I did, one thing you'll appreciate is the high-quality, affordable health care. In Uruguay, medical equipment is modern and doctors highly trained. There are two medical schools in Montevideo, but many senior doctors in Uruguay were trained in the United States, Germany, and Brazil.

Posted on May 28, 2013 by Juan Federico Fischer

- A Freer, Simpler Life Awaits You
Posted on April 22, 2013 by David Hammond
I have a confession. Before I moved to Uruguay I regularly associated with criminals. And their crimes were many and diverse. I lived in Washington State. And the crimes I speak of ranged from collecting rainwater in barrels for the garden (against Washington State law), to advertising a large home for sale as "ideal for a large family," a HUD violation.
- The Best Things in Life Are Still Free in Montevideo, Uruguay
Posted on April 2, 2013 by David Hammond
Somehow, in my adult life, I developed the belief that I needed money to have a good time. However, living in Montevideo reminds me that's just not so. Here, there are so many public spaces, celebrations, and ways to socialize… all for little or no money. In fact, the idea that the finer things in life should be available to all is so important to Uruguayans that they dedicate a whole weekend to it every spring.

- Five Reasons to Live in Punta del Este, Uruguay
Posted on March 22, 2013 by David Hammond

For decades, it has been a prestigious vacation destination. Now, a growing number of people are living in Punta del Este, Uruguay, making their favorite summer resort their full-time home.
- The Trick to Buying Affordable Property in Punta del Este, Uruguay
Posted on March 10, 2013 by David Hammond
Punta del Este, less than two hours from Uruguay's elegant capital of Montevideo, has long been the most fashionable beach resort in South America.

- Time to Get Serious About Spanish
Posted on January 9, 2013 by David Hammond
Just a couple of days into my new life as an expat in Uruguay, I was having lunch on the patio of a restaurant in Punta del Este. I had ordered by pointing to an item on the menu that I imagined was a large Italian-style salad… Ten minutes later, however, the waiter set a large glass serving bowl of sliced beets in front of me.
- Uruguay: Summer Sun in Winter
Posted on January 3, 2013 by David Hammond
My winters in Uruguay are very different than in my home state of Washington… There, my December, January, and February routine comprised keeping the house heated, wearing a coat to go outside, and occasionally scraping ice off the car windshield to drive to work. But in the southern hemisphere, the seasons are opposite. Now, in Uruguay, my December, January, and February routine includes keeping the windows open…
- Enjoy a Simpler Life in Uruguay
Posted on December 11, 2012 by David Hammond
I remember the day I first left everything behind and set out in a rental car to explore the Department of Rocha in Uruguay. Rocha covers more than 4,000 square miles and stretches from the eastern reaches of Punta del Este to the Brazilian border. With several large lakes and more than 120 miles of pristine Atlantic coastline, it's rural Uruguay proper.

Just 28 miles across the river from Buenos Aires (a 50-minute ferry ride) and a two-hour drive from Montevideo… through the richly fertile Rio de la Plata riverbed and past some of Uruguay's famous farmland and vineyards… Colonia de Sacramento (or just "Colonia," as it is commonly called) is right off a picture postcard with its cobblestoned, well-shaded sycamore-lined streets.

Posted on December 6, 2012 by David Hammond
I came from the US to Uruguay in 2006. After living in the beach community of Punta del Este for a year, I decided to explore Uruguay's interior. In Punta del Este and Montevideo, Uruguay's capital, it is common to run into bilingual Uruguayans who speak English. However, in the country's rural interior there are few English speakers.

Obama: "I Don't Want To Run Auto Companies"
President Obama during his prime time news conference Wednesday night said he is hopeful Chrysler will remain a viable company--and that the federal government will be able to remove itself from the auto industry.
"I don't want to run auto companies, and I don't want to run banks," Mr. Obama said. "I've got two wars I've got to run already--I've got more than enough to do."
Chrysler faces a government-imposed deadline to finalize a partnership with Fiat SpA by this Thursday.
"I am more hopeful than I was 30 days ago that we can see a resolution," Mr. Obama said with respect to the deal, though he noted that the "clock is ticking."
The president said deals reached with Chrysler's major debtholders and sacrifices from labor unions improved the automaker's outlook for survival.
"The details have not yet been finalized, but I'm feeling more optimistic than I was about the possibilities of that getting done," Mr. Obama said.
He said, however, that it was "prudent" for Chrysler to prepare contingency plans, including filing for bankruptcy. Given the concessions made by debtholders, Mr. Obama said, it would be likely the company could emerge from bankruptcy proptection quickly.
The president said he saw potential in companies like General Motors, in spite of the fact that the current recession simply added onto the problems faced by an already-weak industry.
"I've always said GM has a lot of good products, and if they can get through these difficult times, they can emerge a strong, competitive viable company," he said.
Mr. Obama also added he would like to see the government extracted from auto business as quickly as possible. It is his responsiblity, he said, to ensure taxpayer dollars "are aimed not at short-term fixes that continue these companies as wards of the state."
He added that workers, as well as company stakeholders, will benefit from the government's assistance in the industry.
"We're going to be coming behind whatever plan is in place to make sure the federal government is providing as much assistance as it can to make sure people are landing back on their feet as we strengthen core businesses," he said.

What a Liberal car company would produce. It will claim to get 50 mph but will only get 15 but nobody will know because we will have to change to the metric system to please the Europeans. It will cost $100,000 but you will get a $300 tax credit. They will be 3 years behind schedule in production due to environmental reviews. Due to political correctness the tires will no longer be allowed to be black. It will not have AM on its radio because of the "Fairness Doctrine". When you sign for the car you are also signing as a new member of the UAW. It will have connectors for your child's car seat but because of their Civil Rights and you no longer having Parental Rights they will have to enter a special permission code before you are allowed to strap them in.

Don't know what region? Try map view
For holidays, much of Sardinia's appeal lies in its beaches and landscapes, with its miles of coastline dotted with sand dunes and juniper woods. Inland the terrain is rugged, and sheep outnumber people. The island feels very different to the mainland, with different dishes and architecture. The Emerald Coast is the main resort – with its picturesque pink buildings and beautiful coastline. Porto Cervo is the bolthole of the rich and extravagant, a mooring place for numerous yachts, and the Capriccioli peninsula is good for exploration, with many delightful coves to be discovered. The north west of the island boasts the resort of Alghero, a medieval centre which retains a real sense of character, the ancient centre of the town is still wonderfully atmospheric. Inland are the vineyards and olive groves which support the islands economy, and these are the heartlands for the shepherding which has long been its main industry. Remains of the prehistoric society which once existed here are collected in Cagliari's archaeological museum in the South. There are also classical remains around this area and great beaches – including that at Chia.

Charlie Sheen now channeling his 'Anger'
LOS ANGELES—To the extent that he ever really went away, Charlie Sheen is back.
He knows that you know that he knows that you know all about the sensational circumstances of his departure from "Two and a Half Men," and the first words he speaks in "Anger Management," the FX sitcom premiering today that will restore, confirm or destroy his reputation go straight to that point.
"You can't fire me, I quit. You can't replace me with some other guy; it won't be the same. You may think I'm losing but I'm not — anyway, you get the idea."

Mackenzie arrived in UPPER CANADA in 1820 and, after a few years in business at Dundas, moved to QUEENSTON. In May 1824 he published the first issue of the Colonial Advocate, which immediately became a leading voice of the new Reform movement. To be closer to the provincial Parliament, Mackenzie moved his operation to York [Toronto] in the fall of 1824. His forthright and forceful manner together with his ardent denunciation of the FAMILY COMPACT contributed much to his popularity, and in 1828 he was easily elected to the House of Assembly for York County.
In 1832 he visited England to present his political supporters' grievances before the imperial government. The sympathetic hearing he received outraged Upper Canadian conservatives. Moreover, Mackenzie's venomous attacks on the local oligarchy brought reprisals in the form of libel suits, threats and physical assaults, as well as an attack on his printing office, which left his press wrecked and the type thrown into the lake. The diminutive Scot's scathing attacks on his opponents also led to his repeated expulsion from the Assembly, although he was continually re-elected by his rural constituents. In 1834, when the Reformers won a majority on the newly created Toronto City Council, he was elected its first mayor. At the end of 1834, he was elected to the provincial Parliament again. However, he was defeated at the polls in 1836, and in December 1837 an embittered Mackenzie turned his mind to armed revolt.
Rebellions of 1837
On December 6, convinced that he would gain spontaneous support, he led an erratic expedition down Yonge Street towards Toronto, seemingly more intent on damaging the property of Tory supporters than taking control of the government. As the force neared Toronto it was dispersed by a few shots from loyalist guards. On December 7 loyalists marched north to Montgomery's Tavern and easily defeated the rebels. Mackenzie fled to the US and tried to muster a new scheme from NAVY ISLAND in the Niagara River. Canadian militia bombarded the island and sank the rebel supply ship Caroline.
Mackenzie moved to New York where he founded Mackenzie's Gazette. However, he was convicted of violation of the US neutrality laws and imprisoned for a year, falling ill and deeper in debt. He spent the next 10 years in the US, eventually finding employment as a correspondent for the New York Daily Tribune. During exile he wrote several books, including The Sons of the Emerald Isle (1844), The Lives and Opinions of Benjamin Franklin Butler and Jesse Hoyt (1845) and The Life and Times of Martin Van Buren (1846).
Mackenzie returned to Canada in 1849 following a government pardon. Undaunted, he quickly resumed both his journalistic and his political careers, serving with characteristic energy as MLA for Haldimand until retirement in 1857 and occasionally publishing a political squib usually entitled Mackenzie's Weekly Message. The fiery and principled Scot died at his home on Bond Street, now one of Toronto's historic sites and museums.

GAME OF THRONES Official Season Three Set Photo & Ireland Filming Details
Published: September 14, 2012 - 8:01am
Based on the popular book series "A Song of Ice and Fire," by George R.R. Martin, the hit Emmy®-winning fantasy series chronicles an epic struggle for power in a vast and violent fantasy kingdom and airs exclusively on HBO.
Game of Thrones is an HBO adaptation of George R.R. Martin's epic fantasy novel series "A Song of Ice and Fire". Set in the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros, where summers span decades and winters can last a lifetime, Game of Thrones chronicles the violent dynastic struggles among the kingdom's seven noble families for control of the Iron Throne; as the series opens, additional threats from the snow and ice covered region north of Westeros and from the eastern continent across a narrow sea are simultaneously beginning to rise.
As Robb Stark and his northern army continue the war against the Lannisters, Tyrion arrives in King's Landing to counsel Joffrey and temper the young king's excesses. On the island of Dragonstone, Stannis Baratheon plots an invasion to claim his late brother's throne, allying himself with the fiery Melisandre, a strange priestess of a stranger god. Across the sea, Daenerys, her three young dragons and khalasar trek through the Red Waste in search of allies, or water. In the North, Bran presides over a threadbare Winterfell, while beyond the Wall, Jon Snow and the Night's Watch must shelter with a devious wildling.
Via HBO's Game of Thrones Blog: The Season 3 Battles Have Begun in Northern Ireland
In the forests of Clandeboye, on a Wednesday afternoon in August, a man and his wife were walking their dog and heard the sound of a fight. It was an important rehearsal, and the two main protagonists are two of my season favorites: an unexpected pairing, whose war of words is almost as full-on as the fight. This struggle has been choreographed and rehearsed for weeks, with each move carefully placed to match the terrain. The fighters wore pads and fell on crash matts, though for the close-ups later in the week, during the first night shoot of the season, the landing would not be quite so comfortable. It will be a character-defining scene, for more than one who is involved, so it has to be done well.
More departments began to arrive for a full run-through. VFX was involved in creating the final moments of the scene, and special effects had a lot to do to make it all work. Armoury had designed a special weapon for this scene alone, and there was a nervous moment when it was first tested against the wood of a massive tree stump and the body of one of our brave stunt guys. The couple asked what was happening, and looked on for a while, but were gently guided toward the path. What happens next is too big a secret for anyone to know, and it certainly can't be told by me.
The third season of Game of Thrones is currently filming in Belfast, Croatia, Iceland, Ireland and Morocco in preparation for it's return on March 31st, 2013.
Based on the popular book series "A Song of Ice and Fire," by George R.R. Martin, this hit Emmy®-winning fantasy series chronicles an epic struggle for power in a vast and violent fantasy kingdom. Among the returning members of the ensemble cast are Emilia Clarke, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Emmy® winner Peter Dinklage, Ciaran Hinds, Tobias Menzies, Michelle Fairley, Lena Headey, Kit Harington, Stephen Dillane, Carice van Houten, Liam Cunningham, Natalie Dormer, Gwendoline Christie, Tom Wlaschiha, Alfie Allen and Gemma Whelan. David Benioff and D.B. Weiss executive produce.

We grieve for those lost in Oklahoma's tragedy, as we did for victims of recent hurricanes and tornadoes, but denial of science keeps us from addressing climate change's role in these unnatural disasters.
We commit to helping Oklahoma rebuild but politicians play games with disaster relief, allow a sequester that weakens our infrastructure & try to starve our ability to rebuild at all.
We mourn loss of life, families, opportunities while we permit drone killings of Americans, let Head Start wither & with it hope for so many & threaten immigrant families of same-sex parents.
We know a tornado is a destructive force. There's no reason that our policies and politics should be destructive as well.

Yes. I busted my ass for Obama the first time around.
Opened my checkbook, campaigned, knocked on doors. Did everything I could to see that he carried Florida in the Presidential election.
Not easy in a place where Fred Thompson signs were as common as plastic pink flamingos at the time during the primary and right wing nuts carried Soviet flags outside of local Obama campaign headquarters. Where women thought Palin was the essence of true feminism. I had the lone Obama sign on my lawn in a sea of McCain - Palin cardboard.
But I got the last laugh. At least I thought so at the time.
We had elected a Democratic President and controlled the two Houses of Congress. And we carried Florida.
Maybe something would get done.
Maybe universal healthcare. Maybe peace would come. Maybe a society which would leave behind racism. Maybe repeal of the Bush tax giveaways to billionaires. Maybe we would spend money on people rather than aircraft carriers. Maybe we would stop torturing people. Maybe Gitmo would close.
Maybe. Read more

Is Obama's fatal scandal whether the President called Benghazi an "act of terror" or "terrorist act" or are Republicans reaching for any reason to deploy weapons of mass distraction?
Is the new Watergate whether the IRS scrutinized political groups seeking tax breaks, unfairly denying none of them tax-free status? We're irritated & irate -- but not quite IRS-gate.
Or is the biggest scandal of this administration drone attacks or whistle-blower-crackdowns, record deportations or the Keystone Pipeline? Where are those Congressional hearings?
While the right-wing rustles up an Obamagate, the real scandal's that he never got out of the gate on climate change bills or stronger gun laws, reversing the sequester or closing Guantanamo.
The IRS & Benghazi business can't hold a candle to losing its way: the real Obamagate scandal.

"Few probably recall the name Dwight Elliott Stone. But even if his name has faded from the national memory, the man remains historically significant. That's because on June 30, 1973, the 24-year-old plumber's apprentice became the last American forced into the armed services before the military draft expired.
Though next month's 40-year anniversary of the end of conscription will likely be as forgotten as Stone, it shouldn't be. In operations across the globe, the all-volunteer military has been employed by policymakers to birth what Gen. George Casey recently called the "era of persistent conflict." Four decades later, we therefore have an obligation to ask: How much of the public's complicity in that epochal shift is a result of the end of the draft? "
Thus wrote David Sirota last week in Salon.com.
"There is, of course, no definitive answer to such a complex question. However, a look back at some lost history shows that today's public acquiescence to militarism was exactly what the government wanted when it ended the draft. Read more

Banks behind foreclosure fraud & the mortgage crisis are failing to comply with the meager settlement, underpaying homeowners, facing no real enforcement. They continue to pass go and collect $200.
While Lauryn Hill serves time for tax evasion, Enron's Jeffrey Skilling gets a reduced sentence & Wall Street's criminals evade repercussions. Some folks have a Get Out of Jail Free card.
Student debt has now surpassed credit card debt, both of which are at an all-time high. And since bankruptcy can't discharge that debt, Americans are force to keep rolling the dice.
It can feel like 99% of us are on the losing side of a big game of high-stakes Monopoly. Yet in Monopoly, we all start with the same cash & the same rules apply to everyone.

Its Wednesday May 8th! Do you know where your Podcast is? On this day in history back in 1858 John Brown held a secret anti-slavery convention in Canada where he and around 50 like-minded individuals adopted an anti slavery constitution. Brown is one of the most polarizing figures of the chaotic period leading up to the civil war. Hated by supporters of the southern way of exploiting human beings for their own personal gain and glory - I mean advocates of states' rights; revered by the growing population of civil rights warriors who believed that change would not come without a fight; shunned and shamed by peace loving, meek abolitionists who preferred to sing songs, publish articles, and peacefully assemble to end slavery.

The President got in bed with Republicans to help him pass gun control legislation, but it was no love-match, they screwed him over & the morning after has left us with no new laws.
He continues to court conservatives on immigration reform & budget deals, and he's willing to make big compromises that the morning after look more like mistakes.
Now to do extend a hand to the Christian Right to appeal to those who won't ever be appeased, his administration is opposing access for young women to the morning after pill.
Just because there's no pill to fix the bad political mistakes Obama has made doesn't mean he should deny Americans a legal course out of a bad situation.
Whether a pill or some political will, we could all use a way to make things right -- it's better than mourning after the morning after.

This weekend in D.C. – it's the "un-conference" of the year for #opengov heads & civic engagement developers. That would be Transparency Camp, organized by the Sunlight Foundation. By "un-conference", it's a straightforward-yet-refreshing take on usual conference get-togethers – panels are generally organized bottom-up, so actual tech developers can get-together in the same room and look at actual code & actual features & actual data & actual UIs & actual needs & actual opportunities. Well maybe not as much as would be ideal, but it's still rather refreshing if you've spent months looking at a project management system like Pivotal Tracker or whatever & writing grant proposals in Google Docs.

Its Sunday April 28th! Do you know where your podcast is? On this day in history back in 1967, Muhammad Ali refused induction into the U.S. military. The self-proclaimed "Greatest Fighter of All Time" cited religious reasons for staging his most important fight; a fight against institutionalized, senseless killing. Take a moment to process these statements - yes, a fighter by profession and religious person (Ali converted to Islam in 1964) refused to go to war! Ali was fined $10,000, sentenced to 5 years in prison, and was stripped of the world title he had won by beating Sonny Liston. He avoided prison while appealing all the way to the highest court, and lost his heavyweight title the first time the same year he won his case in 1971. Muhammad Ali is the only three-time boxing world champion, and is still one of the most intriguing figures in American history. His reason for refusing conscription was because "I ain't got no quarrel with those Vietcong." Amazing that the government of a "Christian nation" would seek to take everything from a person who was acting exactly in the manner that Jesus would have prescribed. Read more
Rush Limbaugh is in deep trouble.
14 months after his attacks on Georgetown law student Sandra Fluke, pressure on Limbaugh's advertisers by groups like the Flush Rush Facebook community and #stoprush Twitter has cost the right wing radio host more than 2,600 sponsors.
Rush Limbaugh's long career in radio has been defined by mean-spirited attacks on women, ethnic minorities, homosexuals, and the poor.
For many years that approach was his bread and butter--so much so that Clear Channel-owned Premiere Radio Networks gave him a lucrative 8 year, $400 million contract in 2008.
But this is no longer the United States that Limbaugh started his career in back in 1967. Each year our nation grows more diverse and tolerant. Notions of women or ethnic minorities as inferior to white males, of the poor as victims of their own laziness, and of homosexuals as sick people who don't deserve the right to marry are on their way out.

As we try to make sense of the Boston bombing, some say it should make us fear Islam, distrust immigrants & be suspicious of our neighbors.
Some set off alarms & say the rules don't apply invoking WMDs, seeking military tribunals, arguing against Miranda rights & defense attorneys.
We're scared so we consider desperate steps: more surveillance, monitor Muslims, cancel public events, limit individual rights.
But it's also a moment of extraordinary generosity, as people open homes, hearts & wallets; of communities pulling together in caring; of respect for our public first responders.
And tempered voices call for patience, speak against stereotypes & frenzied reactions & affirm that a stronger civic space will keep us all safer in the end.
The last Boston Massacre was part of a Revolution. Maybe this one will be part of our Evolution and the Massacre can turn Mass Scare into Mass Care.
We'll think of Boston as we share a drink together, sharing public space & public space in a pub at your local progressive social club.
Last week was a tough week. Moments after the marathon bombings, first responders and ordinary citizens rushed in to provide help to the injured, not knowing whether or not they were putting their own lives at risk.
After those exemplary moments, the week went down hill as the nation went into freak-out mode. Pundits, politicians, news outlets and self-appointed sleuths on the internet heaped disgrace on themselves.
The talking heads went on interminably as if in filibuster; the news outlets got the basic facts wrong and the internet geeks identified an innocent guy as a suspect while never identifying the actual suspects. A New York tabloid ran a picture of the innocent guy on the front page. Wonder how his family feels.
Right wing media immediately picked on a "Saudi national" as a suspect (he apparently had nothing to do with Boston) and accused the "gummit" of suppressing the "story".
We prayed that the bombers were "foreign" rather than white-bread Americans - turned out they were a little of both.
All the powers that be were doing their level best to shade the story for short term advantage, either in the ratings or politically. Read more
It seem like the media is too busy building a narrative that these terrorist are Muslim than searching for the truth. Currently there's no evidence that either man is Muslim but for some reason the media keep trying to tie this terrorist attack to Islam. Why? There are other explanations for their horrifying actions. Maybe they fell the U.S. hasn't been tough enough against Russian aggression. Chechen (where they was born) has been fighting against Russia for over 300 years.
Now, it may be true that these terrorist were radicalize by Muslim extremist, but a good reporter should look at all angles and not just the one they think is obvious. For example, one reporter mentioned on air; incorrectly mind you that the bombers sister's husband who lives in NJ is Muslim. Why would he even mentioned that. Does he think her husband radicalize them from NJ. Should we go visit that man and integrate him? Read more
We demand answers to Monday's horror, but aside from consoling the injured & showing support to the city of Boston, there isn't a quick way to assign blame, exact revenge or salve our grief.
We seek just action in response to Newtown but foolish Senate "traditions" halt progress, allowing the conservative mindset of a minority to prevent a majority from passing gun laws.
For many immigrants, it's been a long road, sometimes painful, frightening, exhausting, yet it seems that there may be a finish line if we all have the stamina to continue.
A Marathon is a democratic event: the terrain is equal, it's free to watch, the public is there every step of the way. And it's long. Painful. Yet achievable.
In American democracy, right now we're running a marathon, not a sprint. Let's hope we have the training, focus, courage, will-power & endurance of those Marathon runners we all admire.
Our hearts are in Boston, Newton & with all our fellow Americans. Come share your thoughts with friends as we share a drink & share the night at your local progressive social club.
Gun rights purists can't believe their luck. One lunatic on a Texas college campus has proven their point: it's not the guns that kill people. If someone wants to wage deadly mayhem, he'll find a means to do it. Gun control liberals can finally STFU now.
Except, a lunatic with a knife differs pretty distinctly from a lunatic with a semi-automatic assault rifle. Where Newtown saw thirty children shot multiple times, funerals spanning a month, and a nation in perpetual mourning, in Houston, Texas every single victim lives. Two are in critical condition, the rest are stable. Our thoughts and prayers are with them, as is any human who has suffered the trauma of a physical attack.
Every attack on multiple people is different. Every one is isolated and born from unique reasons – the failure of the mental health structure here being the basis of some. To lump them together as an anecdotal instance to prove a political point is to compound that failure. No one wins here. Read more

A group of young people in Timor-Leste are all smiles at a UNICEF-supported life-skills training session – a healthy distraction for youths who otherwise have nothing to do while seeking refuge from the country's recent unrest. |
By Bridgette See
DILI, Timor-Leste, 12 July 2006 – When Jacinta dos Santos Guterres sought refuge at the São Jose Minor Seminary a month ago, she saw how frustrated children were at the camp for 1,500 people who fled their homes amid the recent violence in Timor-Leste.
"With nothing to do and no where to go, the young people were simply hanging around all day," recalled Ms. dos Santos Guterres, who previously had served as coordinator of a UNICEF-supported project for children in the Comoro neighbourhood of Dili, the capital.
She knew that with so much free time in their hands, before long some of the youths in the camp would get into trouble. The best thing, she thought, would be to teach them some useful skills to help occupy their time and energy.
After getting the nod from camp managers and support from UNICEF, Ms. dos Santos Guterres adapted the organization's life-skills education modules – designed to suit young people's needs in emergencies - into a five-day training session.
The training covers how to improve self-awareness, cope with emotional stress and communicate effectively. Issues such as HIV/AIDS, drugs and alcohol are addressed as well.

UNICEF Timor-Leste consultant Alfredo de Jesus Mota leads a discussion on decision-making with 30 young people on the rooftop of the São Jose Minor Seminary. |
Girls especially vulnerable to abuse
On the rooftop of the seminary, a group of 30 young people gathered for their first lesson, dealing with decision-making. Under the blazing morning sun, they shifted around constantly in their chairs. But despite the limited resource and harsh conditions, all were fully attentive.
Among them was Jaquelina Fonseca, 16. "I got a headache when I sat at the camp listening to people gossip," she said. "It stressed me out. So I am glad to be at this training. I can make new friends and also learn new things."
Girls are particularly vulnerable in the camps, facing the constant threat of physical and sexual abuse. By participating in the training sessions, they can more successfully cope with stress and stay away from violence.
"I wanted to join this training because I don't know myself well enough," said a young man in the group, Albino Fatima, 25. Like thousands of others across the newly independent nation, he is unemployed and frustrated. Instead of joining the protestors on the streets, however, Albino found hope in the life-skills training.
HIV/AIDS prevention messages
"Sometimes at night, you can see young men and women sitting together in dark places," said Ms. dos Santos Guterres. "Nobody dares to tell them off. We just pretend we don't see them and walk away quickly."
In a society where many people prefer to 'see no evil', spreading messages among young people on how to protect themselves from diseases like HIV/AIDS is crucial.
"Traditionally we don't have a culture of saying 'no', which is what they will learn in this course," said UNICEF Assistant Project Officer for HIV/AIDS Prevention Milena Rangel. "We are also going to discuss what constitutes molestation and inappropriate behaviour so that young women can understand their risks, and be more assertive."
Working with partners, UNICEF plans to expand the training sessions. The lessons learned should not only help carry young people through this emergency but also rebuild their lives when peace finally comes.

Homeowners, renters and business owners in St. Mary Parish have from Nov. 15 to Feb. 13, 2012, to provide general comments or to file an appeal or protest if there are possible errors on the map.
An appeal is a formal objection to proposed base flood elevations. Appeals must be based on technical data that show proposed maps to be scientifically incorrect. Anyone who makes an appeal must include the method, data and analysis used to support the claim.
A protest challenges information or data other than base flood elevation, such as changes to flood plain boundaries, corporate limits or roads and road names. Comments, appeals and protests should be sent to FEMA through the local floodplain administrator.
Anyone who hasn't had a chance to participate in local flood insurance meetings or to review the new flood maps is encouraged to contact their parish or community floodplain administrator. Other resources include:
—Viewing base flood elevation notices at www.floodmaps.fema.gov/fhm/Scripts/bfe_main.asp.
—Using a live chat service about flood maps at http://go.usa.gov/r6C. Click on the "Live Chat" icon.
—Contacting a FEMA map specialist at 877-FEMA MAP (877-336-2627); email email@example.com.
Once all comments/protests are resolved, FEMA will notify communities of the effective date of the final maps.

Pennell Elementary earns School of Character honor
ASTON — Pennell Elementary School is the only Pennsylvania school to be recognized as a 2013 State School of Character by the Character Education Partnership.
"We are thrilled to receive the recognition as a State School of Character," Pennell Principal Shawn Dutkiewicz said. "Teaching strong character and ethical principles is just as important to us as teaching academic content.
"This recognition is an endorsement of the thought and time that we put into our yearly theme and ongoing character initiatives and activities. When our students use our core values and treat each other with respect, it is a wonderful validation of our work."
Pennell, part of the Penn-Delco School District, will retain the honor for the next three years and will receive a banner and celebrations from state sponsors for the accomplishment.
The school is now eligible to be considered for National School of Character recognition.
"Given the large number of character building, anti-bullying and positive school climate initiatives at Pennell, this is truly a well-deserved award that speaks highly to the everyday extra efforts put forth by the staff at Pennell," district Superintendent George Steinhoff said.
Pennell is the second district school to receive the honor — Aston Elementary School was designated as a State School of Character in 2009.

For 5½ hours five days a week, Cameron Lea greets customers by name, recalls their coffee orders and counts down the minutes to the next train's arrival. It's all part of the service at this commuter pit stop. Cam and his wife Samantha took over an existing café inside the old ticketing office at Riversdale train station 18 months ago, injecting a breezy enthusiasm and a personal touch.
It's a first café business for Samantha, a customer who met Cam at a café he owned in Northland eight years ago. He trained her to be a barista and she worked at Grazing Plates and Platters in East Kew four years before the couple bought Platform 1 together. The East Kew café has changed its name to Fat Penguin and is now managed by Cam in the afternoons. Samantha has been working as Platform 1's main barista, but hung up her apron two weeks ago for impending motherhood.
The couple lives in Diamond Creek and travels into Camberwell in the early hours of the day. "There's no traffic and the hours are fantastic; this has been the best business Cam has ever had," says Samantha. "Eighty per cent of our customer base catches the train to work. But we also have locals who drive and call in for a coffee on the way, lots of mums on their morning walks and uni students who come in regularly too. We do a lot of takeaway coffees, but more people are starting to allow time before they catch their train to sit down and enjoy their coffee."
He began in hospitality more than 20 years ago, but Cameron Lea says he learnt most about coffee and making it during the five years he worked as a sales representative for Map Coffee. Cam uses Map's Italian-roasted Napoli blend, a traditional combo of 80 per cent arabica and 20 per cent robusta beans that he describes as "a really great morning coffee".
"It was my favourite blend when I worked for Map. It's got a really nice cocoa flavor with a nice punch to finish." Cam will continue to operate the café's two-group Wega espresso machine and work as its head barista in his wife's absence. But Samantha says she'll be "popping in" to check up on him. A Platform 1 short macchiato was nicely extracted, its creamy milk emulsion adding a soothing finish to that robusta punch.

Energy is centred around the fire engine-red espresso machine at this charming commuter fuel stop: coffee orders, on-the-go breakfasts and banter with the operations team keeping an eye on the approaching train's arrival.
White walls, polished timber floors, moulded white chairs and darker timber veneer tables provide functional comfort for pre-rail users on the city-bound side of the tracks every weekday morning.
There are splashes of red in a big enamel jug filled with fresh blooms and takeaway coffee cups, and colour in racks holding magazines and newspapers beside an easy-to-read analog clock that ticks away the minutes.

iMessage bug prevents SMS from getting through to Android switchers
TechCrunch reports an iMessage bug causing problems for iOS users trying to send SMS messages to ex-iPhone users who have switched to another platform, such as Android.
What happens is, the iPhone attempts to send the SMS to the ex-iPhone user as an iMessage -- just like it always did before the recipient switched devices. But since Android doesn't support iMessage, the text ultimately fails.
Simple, if naive solution:
- Don't let your friends switch away from iPhones.
Complicated, if realistic solution:
- Tell them to go to: https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do
- Log in with their Apple ID.
- Click on "edit products"
- Click on the "x" to the right of the product.
- Click "unregister"
According to a tipster in Apple's support forums, this should resolve the issue entirely. Unfortunately, this is just one of several iMessage related bugs we've been tracking lately. New service or not, Apple needs to get on top of this so users don't have to go through steps they ought not have to go through.

If an iMessage isn't delivered after 5 minutes, doesn't it switch to standard SMS? So they should still get the messages, though it may take an extra 5 mins. I think after a bunch of undelivered imessages, it reverts back to text permanently.
Exactly. My wife's work place is like a Faraday Cage. Outside she has strong signal but inside she often gets no signal (probably has something to do with the doctor's offices on either side with x-ray rooms and the lead shielding that goes with them). So sometimes the iMessages do not get sent and after just a few minutes my phone sends them using SMS instead. It only reverts back to iMessage when she goes back into he Message app with a data connection.
The receiving iOS device must have an active data connection for iMessages to go through as Apple does not store them for later, unlike SMS.
Something else is amiss here or someone is making stuff up...
No, it only sends as SMS if it's set to in the settings, otherwise it fails.
Actually, you're incorrect. You can hardcode it to SMS only, but by default the behavior is as MrC indicated. I know, because I've seen the same behavior. If an iPhone drops out of data coverage, but is still within coverage that could allow for phone calls to go through, iMessage reverts to sending the message via SMS instead. I have several conversations with a few individuals in the Messaging app that have mixed conversations in them with the same person with both data and SMS messages. Minutes apart... it has to do with them having crappy coverage at their home and no WIFI either. Sometimes it's blue, sometimes it's green.
Once you register, how are you to know that the Apple ID is unregistered? That's a serious question and there may be a serious answer, but the problem here is a design issue of how to figure out when someone has left a system to get them off all your stuff. And it won't be high on the priority list for Apple, because they like everyone else, want you to stay on their platform.
Nice chunk of video. Must've been fun wndierang around and filming the oddities, mediocrities, and rarities of night time Sydney. I'd love to get the iMovies app for my iPhone 4 just seemed more intended for iPad. Editing a .MOV file on a Windows PC gets old REAL quick, especially since no cheap editors can handle the HD format and I'm simply not paying $100+ dollars for an editor when iMovie is ike $5
Not only that. Let's say the person you're trying to reach by iMessage is at some place where Internet connection isn't available for some reason. How do you send a regular SMS message? I've been through this situation and could not find a way to do so.
Do this if you want to force send an SMS to an iMessage user:
After you hit send, long-press on the message bubble. An option will pop up to send as a regular text instead. I believe the Messages app remembers your choice for a short period, so you for a while it will continue to send and receive as a regular SMS.
This doesn't fix the problem (I have yet to try the solution above), but it makes it a little better than waiting for iMessage to time out every time you want to send a text to a former iPhone user.
Thanks! I was a former iPhone user and wanted to unregister my iPhone, not because this issue but because I sold this iPhone and I don't want it linked to me any longer.
Anyone notice when you send a photo or voice recording via iMessage, it doesn't use data but sends as a MMS! 25 uk pence a time!!! Come on Apple?!? WhatsApp does all this perfectly over 3G or wifi! =-)
This is no different than RIM not discontinuing BIS data services when someone switches away from a Blackberry. The only difference there is that BBM wasn't integrated with SMS on the platform. I can't tell you how many times I see constant BIS server connections from people that switch from a BB to another platform even after they've switched platforms. In the past it used to take a good 6 months before RIM would totally deactivate BIS account services for the subscribers who terminated BB services and switched to another smartphone platform.
I guess what I'm getting at is that this isn't just an Apple issue, ALL companies out there have problems with "speedy" account or device unregistration when people switch away from their services. Ideally, it should be up to the end user to KNOW ahead of time that they're changing and terminate certain services on the old device PRIOR to the handset swaps, but of course they don't do that.
This has been a problem for me as I move my SIM card between an iPhone 4 and a Samsung Galaxy S II on a weekly basis. I always have to remember to deregister my iPhone and iPad for iMessage or else I will go through the whole day without receiving any text messages. As you can tell, most of my friends use iOS devices exclusively. Even then, my friends often tell me that their iMessage has to try to send and fail before it will prompt them to try as a text message. After that it will default to a standard text until I register one of my iOS devices again.
I am going to say this is just NOW getting reported. A lot of people complained about this back when iOS 5 first came out. Apple system of turning it off is beyond crap and in someways I think Apple did this on purpose for no other reason than to make life hell on switchers.
Even easier solution...on the phone itself go to settings and simply turn off iMessages. My wife joined me on the "darkside" and that's all she did and everything worked great.
Brian is correct, the easier way (I have been doing thus switching from my iPhone 4 to sgs2) is to just turn imessage off. You MUST however turn imessage off BEFORE taking the similar out of the iPhone. Of not it will still send the messages to imessage.
I wonder if that "unregistering of device" will also fix the bug of iMessages still going to stolen or lost devices ?
Anyone tried ?
Meh, if they give up the faith they don't need to be contacted anyhow.
how the hell do u cporame McDonald to apple. Apple makes there products build to last glass in front and the back there just is no comparison to the i phone sorry u fail peace
you're really a excellent webmaster. The website loading pace is incredible. It sort of feels that you are doing any unique trick. Also, The contents are masterwork. you've performed a fantastic job on this subject!
By deregistering, does that just mean turning off iMessage while it still has a data connection to register the change?
The only caution is that some banks are charging per deposit via mobile phone. I'm not willing to pay USBank $.50 to deposit a check via iPhone. Chase does not charge, but you need to be aware of these fees at your bank.
This is not true. Look at my website in my name. I built it using WordPress and I think it looks like a normal site. Also WP is extremely easy to use. Considering I built my site using it and I did not know anything about WordPress before I started.
So okay, you added your I-Devices (I-Phone and I-Pod) but more and more users have all kind of small devices (i run a android based mobile) so my question,wouldn't it be better if you check the screen resolution and if it's less than that much pixels, it should switch to mobile mode?

Excellent post. I was checking continuously this blog and I am impressed! Extremely useful info particularly the final phase :) I take care of such information much. I was looking for this certain info for a long time. Thank you and best of luck.
This article is legit and it is very frustrating. I switched from an iPhone to Android (Motorla Razr max) and the SMS messages kept going to my old iphone (I even switched from ATT to Verizon). I did what the article stated and that didn't work. I had to go on the old iphone into settings and turn off imessage and then my txt starting going to my new phone.
This is complete BS - and yet another example of a phone provider (Apple) hi-jacking your phone number. I also am not a fan of Google Voice as it does similar hi-jacking of your phone number and does unexpected things that are hard to get it to stop intercepting and doing.

Love Ray Gun
I know. When you type it out like that, it sounds a little porny. But I have a pretty vivid imagination, and am always on the lookout for new ways to be playful with energy, to not buy into the tired old ways that many of us express our emotions. I mean, does everyone scream when they're mad? No. Some people steam, other people drink, while still others hug it out.
It came to me when I was driving, as we so often do here in L.A. Some guy was riding my buper, even though I was in the slow lane, about to get off at the next exit. This type of behavior irritates me for the obvious reasons (which is that it just sucks), but also because it's the epitome of greed. I mean, seriously? You're so concerned with getting what you want right freaking now that you can't, I don't know, ease up a bit? After all, we were in bumper to bumper traffic. Not exactly the Indy 500.
Luckily, I caught myself in the next moment. OK, so it was very little skin off my back, and who cares anyway, right? But I wanted to try something a little deeper. And for some reason, the image of a ray gun came into my mind, the ones you see all the time in cartoons blasting someone's face off and leaving them in a cloud of ash. Then I loaded that baby up with some love pellets, planning to fire them behind me into the guy's car. Hey, it could work, right?
I'm sitting there giggling to myself, imagining firing away with these imaginary love pellets, and probably anyone who looked inside my mind at that moment might have thought that I was batshit crazy, but it made me laugh. I can't be sure if this is what made him ease off my bumper in the next few minutes, but it made my commute a little easier, and a lot more fun.

Good Morning!
It has been a HOT day week in Toronto. By 9:30 am yesterday it was already 35 degrees with the humidity and got up to 44 degrees (110 degree F) before the end of the day. Sticky hot. I like the warm weather but this is nutty. So, today's post is all about getting cool with some pools…..oh and I'm a poet and didn't know it.

Ahhh, don't you feel better? Mind you i would feel WAY better if I had one of those fab pools in my backyard. I might buy a blowup pool. For realsies.
