Striped Navy/White 3/4 sleeved top

Choosing striped fabric for this top wasn't the smartest thing to do but I will wear this top as it is so comfortable and I love the neck line. I did not make the neck line as per the pattern as it becomes a v-neck at the back. I just used the neck line for the dress #107 because I don't like the back of my neck exposed in cooler weather. An age thing!! This top is very easy to make and fits well although for my body shape, I had to raise the bust darts up about 4 cm.

I too like the neckline! It adds such nice interest. Ponti is so great to sew and wear – it's a pity we have precious little choice in them in my parts!

Thanks so much. I am in Hong Kong at the moment and have been to a fabric market where there was so much Ponti to choose from I nearly cried! There was so much fabric and pushy sales people that it was impossible to decide. I did buy quite a bit of fabric and I am not sure if my Qantas plane will get off the runway.

Oh my, Hong Kong is the best! Did you spend days and days wandering up and down their sprawling fabric district? It's like being in heaven. You could post the fabric back to yourself if you'll bust the weight allowance – I nearly had to do that!

I love how the stripes on the neck/collar contrast with the stripes of the top. I've made a few tops from ponti knit this fall – it's a new fabric for me and it is SOO easy to work with and super cozy for the colder weather.

I have a couple of questions about this pattern and don't know where else to ask them. Hope you can help. Did you you use batting in the neckline? Doesn't seem appealing to me. Once you add seam allowances, the shoulder cut out v in the pattern pretty much disappears. Am I doing something wrong? Haven't tried to sew it yet, but the pattern now looks much different. The front dart from the side seems very wonky. Any tips there?

1. No, I did not use batting or interfacing in the neckline as the Ponti fabric has plenty of body. I did not make the neckline as the pattern shows as I did not want the v-shape at the back.
2. When you cut out the shoulder V shape after adding seam allowance it does disappear but if you mark the pattern shape onto your fabric with either tacking stitches or by using a fabric marking pen, then it is easy to pin and sew. Use only a water based pen so that the markings can wash away and do the markings on the wrong side of the fabric.
3. Also mark the front darts in the same way and you will find that everything turns out okay.
If you are new to sewing, I wouldn't recommend the stripped fabric I used to make this top as the stripes will not match up and it can be disappointing. Just use a plain fabric to start and you will find it relatively easy to sew. It is a lovely top to wear and I will probably make this again – next time in a plain Ponti. Good luck with your top.

I love this pattern and what you´ve made with it. I love stripes too, so it´s perfect! What about those darts! I´m planning to sew the dress that have those darts and I´m a little bit scared of them.

Merche, you are too talented to be scared of those darts! It is the easiest top/dress to sew. Thank you for your lovely comments.

I have had plenty of time up my 3/4 sleeve lately, and my Bernina has been getting a workout! I am going to be ready for the summer heat ASAP.

Great top and I think stripes were a great choice – it's a great twist on a Breton top! Like the neckline too.

Thank-you Debbie. I love stripes, so I was prepared to be challenged with the front darts. Otherwise , this top would be perfect for stripes if it didn't have the darts which give it such a good fit.

this is fab!! i love the neckline with the stripes going a different direction.it makes the top stand out xx

DOGFIGHT AFTERMATH: Dogs put down in fighting case
COLUMBIA CITY — It was more than three months ago that 18 individuals were arrested for various crimes related to dogfighting in Whitley County.Since that time, two dogs have been euthanized, one more could be, and most of the court proceedings are still in the pretrial phase.Two of the three dogs were euthanized in previous months, according to court documents which included an expense report from the Whitley County Humane Shelter.The third dog belongs to Eddie Smith, who was the person residing at the home where the arrests occurred. He was given six charges, including three felonies. The remaining dog is at the Whitley County Humane Shelter. Shelter officials indicated they can no longer care for the dog and no other shelter will pay for her. If Smith does not pay for her costs of care, the dog will have to put down.Smith has a jury trial set for Aug. 7 and Aug. 8.Excell L. Hazzard, 45, of Chicago, was the only individual who pleaded guilty in Whitley County Superior Court in January. He was given six months in Whitley County Jail by Judge Doug Fahl, with six months of his sentence suspended. Most inmates only serve half of their sentence if they have good behavior, thus, Hazzard was released from Whitley County Jail Thursday.To read the rest of this story, see the April 8 issue of The Post and Mail.

FAIRFAX, Iowa —
A 16-year-old boy in Iowa has been accused of sexually abusing three teenage girls.
The boy from Fairfax was charged Tuesday in Linn County District Court with three counts of third-degree sexual abuse. A criminal complaint says two of the alleged victims are 13 and one is 14.
A complaint said the incidents happened in early January. The Cedar Rapids Gazette newspaper reports the boy told police that he had sex with the girls.
The boy is being charged as an adult and faces up to 30 years in prison if convicted on all charges.
The Associated Press generally does not name juveniles accused of crimes.

When I was just thinking things were getting a bit boring here in the PC business in the pre-holiday void, here come Intel with something new to shake the tree in the desktop arena. Enter the new Sandy Bridge Extreme, the next Generation of Intel Core I7 Extreme Family 64-bit low-power/high performance CPUs for the new X79 Platform and LGA-2001 ZIF Socket motherboards. Traditionally Platforms are made up of three core components: (processor, MCH, and ICH), but with the new Sandy Bride Extreme that has changed to a two component design that consists of the processor, and a Platform Controller Hub (PCH). This is supposed to increase performance, allow easier validation and an improved x-y footprint. The CPU is much larger now than previous looking Sand Bridge CPUs and reminds me of older generation Xeon CPUs of yesteryears in fact the LGA-2011 Socket is the largest I have yet seen for the desktop platform although it is still built on the 32nm package. The X58 was the High-End enthusiast/desktop/gamer platform, but move over X58, X79 has now come to town and with it new technologies to make their new CPUs the fastest desktop solution on the planet.
The big improvement for gamers in general is the evolution of the PCI Express Bus, which now has reached revision 3.0, thus allowing 40 lanes of PCI-e links capable of 8.0 GT/S and 4 lanes of DM12/PCI Express 2.0 lanes with rumored peak transfers rates of 5.0 GT/s. In the 2nd Quarter of 2012 we will begin to see the arrival of VGA cards using the new 3.0 standard and until then the actual how well this equates to gamers is yet to be seen, but on paper this new I7 Sandy Bridge Extreme features look very impressive and ready to obviously work with next generation technology looming just around the corner. Using an SLI or CrossFire Mult-GPU solution will be better able to handle the bandwidth required for optimal performance. The new SBE CPUs supports up to 46 bits of physical address space and 48 bits of virtual address space. Included in this family of processors is an integrated memory controller (IMC) and integrated I/O (IIO) (such as PCI Express and DMI2) on a single silicon die. This single die solution is known as a monolithic processor. The bottom line here is better overall performance, lower power requirements and improved support for multiple VGA cards in a bigger LGA package that should take the desktop solution to the next level. I admit I always look forward to testing out the latest CPUs and motherboards; it's always very interesting!

Making Corned Beef & Cabbage is a no-brainer. Seriously, over the last 30 or so St. Patrick's Day Dinners, I've faithfully bought a package of Corned Beef. I've simply read the directions on the package, that includes a seasoning packet. Per the directions, I always added potatoes, carrots and whatever vegetables sounded good. Sometimes I added beer to the water. How easy can it be? Then, one of my dear Food Bloggers, Cathy of "Wives With Knives" posted her mother's own recipe for Corned Beef & Cabbage. I love Cathy's photos, because they make me want to have a taste of whatever it is she's posted. I especially liked the way Cathy talked about how she spreads a mixture of brown sugar, Dijon, cloves and red wine vinegar on the brisket, before serving. Now, why hadn't I ever thought of that? Cathy uses a slow-cooker, and think that's a great idea. The problem is, when it's 1:00 in the afternoon, and I'm craving Corned Beef & Cabbage on a Sunday afternoon-- I had to improvise.
Cippollini onions! They're cute, and a bit sweeter than yellow onions. I peeled some carrots and quartered some red potatoes, and of course I quartered a head of green cabbage.
Glazed Meatloaf recipe. I used brown sugar, cider vinegar, Dijon mustard and ketchup.

1. Re: cffile and different network domainsOwain North Mar 30, 2012 6:11 AM (in response to Scavanger26)
Yup, if you don't have file-level access it's CFFTP or CFHTTP. No way of telling the speed without testing it though.
2. Re: cffile and different network domainsReed Powell Mar 30, 2012 6:37 AM (in response to Scavanger26)
Moving the fileshare to another domain should not cause a problem - you just need to add the domain account that CF is running under to list of users with access to the directories you are using on the fileshare. Don't forget to also add it to the users allowed to use the share that you are using to access the fileserver. Another approach is to greate a global group, give it access to the directories and share on the fileserver, and then add the CF user account to that group.
good luck
3. Re: cffile and different network domainsReed Powell Mar 30, 2012 6:39 AM (in response to Reed Powell)
WHen you say "different network domain" just what to you mean? A different domain in the NT security sense, or a totally disconnected physical network? My response presumed the former. As long as the two networks have connectivity and a common AD then you should be able to do what I said.
4. Re: cffile and different network domainsScavanger26 Mar 30, 2012 7:45 AM (in response to Reed Powell)
The domains are virtual domains on the same network, but 1 domain is the DMZ and the other is behind firewall. No file level ports between them. Looks like we will need to do cfhttp or cfftp.
5. Re: cffile and different network domainsmtnhomes Dec 7, 2013 4:54 PM (in response to Reed Powell)
Forgive me, we are facing a similar issue - what is "common AD"? We are trying to add CFFILE connectivity between a "cloud server" and a physical server within the same hosting network (intermedia.net). Previously we had the CFFILE tag working very well between two physical servers, but on the same domain. Any suggestion?

Trying to find your best weight loss program can often times make you feel like a dog chasing its tail. You are simply going in circles from one diet plan to the other and never experiencing any success.
Although finding a healthy weight loss plan that helps you take off the pounds safely can seem like a difficult task, it doesn't have to be that way if you know what to look for. Here's what to look for in finding your best weight loss program.
Why do diet plans fail?
Have you stopped to think about why so many diet plans and weight loss programs fail? The number one reason is because they are just too restrictive. They limit you to certain foods, a certain number of calories or certain amounts of foods, etc. Try as we might, our bodies just say enough is enough and we end the diet.
diet solution program scam, chia seeds weight loss, weight loss exercise,
So, one key in finding your best weight loss program will be one that allows you to eat a variety of foods without being overly restrictive. Please understand, I'm not saying that you can continue to eat cupcakes, candy bars and milkshakes every day. You'll never lose weight doing that, but you should be allowed toe at a wide variety of foods.
Crash diets are not the answer
Another area to look for in any weight loss plan is that you will lose weight in a healthy manner. Crash diets never work. You want to lose weight over a long period in a safe, healthy manner. While it may sound impressive to say you lost 25 pounds in 2 weeks, in most every case the person will end up quitting the diet and gaining all the weight back again.
The best weight loss programs won't leave you feeling hungry all the time. How many diet plans have you seen that leave you will just a tiny portion of food on a plate that only takes 2-3 bites to put away? 30 minutes later you are feeling hungrier than you were before.
A good diet plan will not only allow you to be comfortably filled, but will also allow you to eat some of your favorite foods. Yes, it is possible to lose the weight you want and still eat some of your favorite foods.
So, when you are looking at a weight loss program, be sure it allows you to eat a variety of foods, allows you to lose weight in a healthy manner, and lets you be comfortably filled. That will be your best weight loss program and the one that will help you meet your weight loss goals.

|[Hadoop Wiki] Update of "DeveloperOffsite20090612" by TomWhite
|Wed, 17 Jun 2009 17:42:03 GMT
Dear Wiki user, You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Hadoop Wiki" for change notification. The following page has been changed by TomWhite: http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/DeveloperOffsite20090612 New page: On the Friday after the [http://developer.yahoo.com/events/hadoopsummit09/ Hadoop Summit 2009] a group of Hadoop committers and developers met at Cloudera's office in Burlingame to talk about Hadoop development challenges. Here are some notes and pictures from the discussions that we had. [[TableOfContents]] = Attendees = Eric Baldeschwieler, Dhruba Borthakur, Doug Cutting, Nigel Daley, Alan Gates, Jeff Hammerbacher, Russell Jurney, Jim Kellerman, Aaron Kimball, Mahadev Konar, Alex Loddengaard, Matt Massie, Arun Murthy, Owen O'Malley, Johan Oskarsson, Dmitriy Ryaboy, Joydeep Sen Sarma, Dan Templeton, Ashish Thusoo, Craig Weisenfluh, Tom White, Matei Zaharia, Philip Zeiliger = Five things = Things we don't like about Hadoop * config hell * unit tests need improvement * too few unit tests vs functional tests * Hudson, JIRA, patch process woes * too slow (hudson) * too much mail (JIRA) * Hard to debug / profile * Confusing / arcane APIs * JobInProgress * Dcache * Docs could use improvement * new functionality lacks specs, test plan * NN SPOF Things we like about Hadoop * community * open source * ecosystem * good components: HDFS, ZK = Project challenges = Nigel brings up: Patch Development Process: * pretty convoluted * attach patch to JIRA, Hudson, committer takes it * Releaseaudit and other output unreadable * Running ant hudson-test-patch takes five hours, usually fails * Compiling is slow too ... for testing we need to know that the tests are sufficient -- this means that docs are required[[BR]] Test plan template: What are you testing? what are the risks? How do you test this?[[BR]] Phil: What are examples of *good* JIRAs?[[BR]] Doug: Should we add a test plan field to JIRA?[[BR]] Nigel: People need to take ownership of features and consider scalability, etc.[[BR]] The patch queue is too long...[[BR]] Doug: committers need to be better here[[BR]] Dhruba: doing reviews right is hard[[BR]] Phil: What do people do here? * read patch by itself * apply and use a diff viewer * Can we use a review tool -- e.g., FishEye, Reviewboard? Phil will take point on this Doug: We need a "wall of shame" to incentivise people to review other peoples' code rather than just write new patches of their own Pushing Warnings to Zero: * Running test-patch is slow * "rat" has verbose output, needs an overrides system * nobody really volunteering to fix this * checkstyle has 1200+ warnings =-- this is absurd * Need ECliupse settings file that reflects reality * Patch system disincentivizes "janatorial work" to lines near what you're really working on Typo Fixes, etc: * Can we commit things without a JIRA? * Can we commit things without a review? Most things require both[[BR]] Exceptions: www site, rolling a release[[BR]] How do you continuously refactor?[[BR]] Phil : Can we agree that it's ok to fix comments/typos/etc in the same file you're working in?[[BR]] Doug Yes, but people need to say that this is what they're doing in the JIRA comments[[BR]] Tom: This should be clarified on the HowToCommit wiki page[[BR]] Checkstyle: * Eclipse style file (Phil) * NetBeans style file (Paul) * both of these should be in top level and included via svn-extenrals * Tune checkstyle config (Tom) * Wholesale codebase sweep * Need to clear patch queue first? * Per-project Core (Owen) / MR / HDFS -- who will take care of the last two here? * Enable in patch testing (Nigel) Matt: Could we think about an auto-reformatting patch service? (lukewarm reaction here) Testing: * We have 10 new machines which can be used soon * Need "ten minute test" so that individuals can run this * Some MR folks are removing MiniMR from tests where it's not needed * Phil: We need a build sheriff to nag on build/test breaks * Nigel: need continuous build on all active branches on commit * not just patch-isolated tests * need code coverage (and diffs of this) * Functional tests are not first-class citizens * need a harness for running shell scripts, etc. * maybe run on EC2? Alex will do some work here * Phil will work on improving docs related to test utils. * We should start using some mock framework * JMock, EasyMock, etc * LocalJobRunner needs improvement * TestNG allows for shared MiniMRCluster which will help * This should do things like *not* start Jetty, etc. Build System: * Ivy vs. Mason * Nigel is working with someone to build a POM repo * Should we convert to mvn? * How bad is Ivy itself vs. just our usage of Ivy? * Pig and Hive both do something different for depending on Hadoop * Forrest needs to go. * Todd will investigat migrating soimewhere else * There are other XML-based documentation systems = Wish Lists = == MapReduce == * JT API (e.g., REST) * pluggable job submission API * InputSplit generation as a task * Simplify JT/TT interaction * MR 2.0: * Separate persistent rsrc manager from the per-job manager * Avro input format * For Pipes, too * Preemption and better priorities * JobInProgress refactoring * JSON Job History * Pipeline MR (M*R*) * Streaming in mapred, not contrib == MapReduce and HDFS == * Separate client/server (interface/implementation) jars, packages == HDFS == * Append and 4379 (flush/sync) * NN metadata inspection tool (already exists in some form in 20) * Multi-NN for same DNs (federated NN) * Multi-DC Hadoop * HDFS mounts + symlinks * pluggable block placement * DFSClient requery NN if it can't find a block == Build And Test == * One framework for system testing (loca,l and in the cloud) * Standard build and dep managemtn framework * Failure injection * Based on Aspect/J * Back compatibility and verificatino framework * Need ability to run big sets of real jobs without apache necessarily owning those jobs * A messaging issue to the community is that non-committers can and should independently test and then vote +1/-1 on release candidates * Symlink test suite == Avro == * language-agnostic RPC (C, C++, Ruby, Python...) * column store format in Avro * or put in pig/contrib? * Standard text format (currently only has a binary fmt) * JSON based * HTTP RPC * RPC proxy for testing == Common == * config variable names, uniform schema * better errors for bad config * range testing for config values * LDAP-based config * Config should support lists of elements, and not just a big string "value" wiuth commas * remove non-public things from public API == Pig == * decent error messages * column store format in Avro = Subproject discussions = == MapReduce == == HDFS == * Append/Sync : It is being targeted for 0.21 release. Project status "yellow".... meaning that it could be "at-risk" for this release. * HADOOP-4379 : seems to satisfy the append-tests that the Hbase team is doing. The Hbase team is requesting that this jira be included in some sort of a Hadoop release. * HDFS mounts and symlinks : HADOOP-4044. This is very much essential for federating a flock of hadoop clusters. This is targeted for 0.21 release. * NameNode scaling to large number of files: One idea that was discussed was to pagein/pageout metedata from the namenode memory on demand. This introduces aditional complexity in the NN code, especially needs fine-grain locking of data structures. This is not going to be attempted in the short term. Federating the hadoop namespace across multiple hadoop namenode (using symlinks) would be a way to solve the problem of a "large number of files". * DFSClient read latency performance: It was discovered that the performance bottleneck was because of a single thread doing sequential reads from one data block followed by the next. An alternative approach would be to open multiple DFSClient instances, and make each instance read different blocks in parallel. This can improve the latency of a single file-read tremendously. Todd Lipcon will try this out. == Pig/Hive == Approaches to column storage were discussed. The Hive and Pig implementations are fundamentally different -- Hive uses a PAX-like block-columnar approach, wherein a block is organized in such a way that all values of the same column are stored next to each other and compressed, with a header that indicates where the different columns are stored inside the block. This file format, RCStore, can be used by Pig by virtue of writing a custom slicer/loader. The Pig representatives indicated that they were interested in experimenting with RCStore as an option for their workloads. The Pig model splits columns into separate files, and inxeses into them; there is a storage layer that needs to coordinate the separate files. The layer is (naturally) able to do projection pushdown, looking into also pushing down filters. Pig integration is in progress. No technical impediments to implementing a Hive SerDe for Zebra. Sharing code and ideas would be easier if there was a common place to look for this sort of stuff. For example, RCStore can be pulled out of hive -- but where? Commons? Avro? Neither project has plans for storage-layer vector operations (a-la vertica). Metadata discussion pushed off to next week. Join support is roughly equivalent for both systems (map-side aka FRJoin, and regular hash join). Neither supporting or planning on bloom joins (no real demand -- be it because the users aren't familiar with it, or because the workloads don't need it, is unknown). Either way, "we accept patches ;-)" Blue-sky stuff: Oozie integration -- a way to define a hive node? Some other custom processing node? Having Hive and Pig clients automatically push queries off as Oozie jobs so that they are restartable, etc? Pig is looking to move off JavaCC. Currently leaning in the direction of cup+jflex ; hive uses Antlr, which is now a lot less memory-intensive as they've started using lookaheads. This information might be putting Antlr back on the table for Pig. == Avro/Common == === Configuration === Registry class for configuration that allows you to "register" configuration * Allows for easier documentation and more control * Allows for warning for unknown keys to help with typos * Give support for description of units and range testings * Do before 1.0 * Push the value validation into the registered class (e.g. range tests, units, allows for <elem></elem>, umask in octal (HADOOP-3847) * Allows for explicit tagging/filtering of "stable", "experimental" and "deprecated" Hadoop configs should be read from a distributed filesystem (HADOOP-5670) * Read from LDAP, ZK, HTTP === Avro === * C/C++ Support * Single RPC Mechanism across all Hadoop processes/daemons * Language Agnostic RPC w/ versioning and security * RPC Proxy Object (e.g. fault-injection, light-weight embedding) * To/From Import/Export JSON == Build And Test == Top Level components Nigel proposed: * Backwards Compatibility Testing * System Testing Framework * Patch Testing Improvements * Test Plan Template (for JIRA) * Mock Objects Backwards Compatibility Testing: * API (syntactic) * Static Analysis * API (semantic) * We need scrutiny during code review when compatibility breaks; ways to determine if compatibility is broken during CR: * Be strict with the JIRA incompatible change flag * jdiff changes * Javadoc changes * Test changes (e.g., a JUnit test changes) * Other ideas: * Community-driven testing * Either allow users to submit a workflow and test their workflow for them, or * Just have users submit to a website if compatibility is good for them * Think of a long checklist, where each item is a volunteer running Hadoop that says if compatibility is good or not * Write API tests around 1 or 2 key APIs * Get well-defined specs for these APIs * Test all assertions * Sub-project test suites can help a lot * Solr, Pig, Hive, Mahout, HBase, Chukwa * Sub-projects can be part of the community idea mentioned above * Protocol * Not 0.21, because of Avro * Config * Syntax-static analysis (diff), also semantic tests apply * Data System Test Framework: * Shell framework (perhaps a derivative of Y!'s) * Run on cluster (possibly AWS) or in local debug mode * Can run system and performance tests Patch Testing: * RAT - need more control * Code coverage diff (really interesting) * Better test detection * +0 if they have a test/ folder * +1 if they have test/**/Test*.java * +1 if they have a new @test or "test*(" in a test/ file * -1 otherwise * Other tools (JDepend, Classycle) * Sonar (would run alongside Hudson) Test Plan Template: * New features have the template in the JIRA * Nigel has done some work on this Mock Objects: * (nothing discussed)

My friend needed a dress for a new job. She s a managing director in a restaurant network. So she wanted to make her entrance BIG! I advised the colour – as light ivory coloures almost always look fabulous. She chose the design. We bought jersey. I sewed. She also wore a black jacket over it at day time, and closer to the evening she took it off. Everyone was hit off, personnel & guests.

Skip to comments.Lets Put Health Care Rationing On the Table: Dont Treat AIDS
Posted on 08/19/2009 10:46:12 AM PDT by Winged Hussar
Rationing and triage (in which only people to whom immediate medical treatment means a life or death difference receive it) apply in disaster and battlefield situations in which there are simply not enough resources for everybody. We state up front that we do not believe that the American medical system is anywhere near this point, especially because 30 to 60 cents of every health care dollar are squandered on waste and inefficiency. These include administrative costs, inefficiencies such as doctors and nurses having to walk or wait to get or record information, and easily preventable medical mistakes such as medication errors and hospital acquired infections. It is totally irresponsible to even consider rationing and triage while such inefficiencies persist, but Barack Obama, his medical advisor Ezekiel Emanuel, and others in the Obama camp think there is indeed a shortage of medical resources that justifies a rationing and triage mentality. This article will continue under this premise.
Consider a genuine disaster situation in which there is, for example, a shortage of food and water. In such situations, deliberate and willful waste of the scarce resources is dealt with very harshly and perhaps even punished with deathwhich is normally reserved exclusively for crimes like murder and high treason. ... It is easy to envision somebody who deliberately wastes a lifeboats water supply being thrown overboard by the other survivors, with the action qualifying as justifiable homicide. If, as President Obama and Ezekiel Emanuel claim, there is a shortage of medical resources, care should first be denied to those who waste these resources. This is not something we advocate but, if the President and his advisors wish to go down that path, AIDS (unless acquired from a blood transfusion or accidental contact with blood) must be put onto the table for discussion.
(Excerpt) Read more at israpundit.com ...
The "lifeboat situation" also applies to illegal immigrants. If there is not a shortage of lifeboats, it would be murder or manslaughter to exclude stowaways if the ship sinks. On the other hand, if there is not enough lifeboat space, it would seem reasonable to exclude the stowaways until all legitimate passengers and crew members were in lifeboats. Obama and Ezekiel Emanuel are telling us that there are not enough lifeboats. If so, the stowaways and resource-wasters have to go overboard.
The miracle drug Trinoasitol may yet be an option..
One of the most important questions that should be asked at a townhall meeting:
In the event of a scarcity of medical resources, who do you favor providing with health care first ... a 65 year old American citizen or a 20 year old illegal alien?
Drug addicts deliberately cause enormous harm to their bodies. Ration health care and refuse to treat them.
It is very expensive to provide security and medical care for people on death row. Plus, people on death row are useless eaters who do nothing to justify their health care. Ration health care and don't treat them.
Ration health care for illegals. Exclude them!
Of course, any government plan that does not lead to short-term bankruptcy will include rationing, in one form or another.
Of course, the current system also rations care, through a patchwork of rules, regs, practices, and decisions.
The real issue is who gets to make the decisions and who gets to pay? Are the responsibilities and choices essentially individual or are they collective?
Uh, oh. Now you've gone and done it!
AIDS is one of the most expensive medical conditions to treat.
First, people with AIDS live much longer now, which is a good thing understand.
But they have very many medical problems with their longer lives, frequent hospitalization and they do, in the end and still, die before their time and their death takes a long time.
So why can't I buy a health insurance policy that exempts any AIDS coverage? I live in a part of Delaware with a very large homosexual community but hey, can't sell health insurance in Delaware exempting AIDS coverage cause dammit somebody's got to help pay for that expensive health coverage for AIDS patients.
Keeping along these lines, why can't I buy health coverage exempting pregnancy coverage? I'm not going to get pregnant at my age. Take both of these coverages out the cost for my health policy and I'm thinking it would reduce by 25% or more.
This is what is meant by being able to buy health insurance across state lines. Can't do it. Cause states make laws for health insurance purchases in their states based on the political needs then upon, NOT to help its citizens on the cost of health care.
If this administration was really serious instead of just peeing on our feet and telling us it's raining as regards overhauling health care coverage, they'd allow us to buy customized health insurance and get rid of that free for all for the trial lawyers.
Until they do that, do not make the mistake of taking them serious.
Hey, they're already talking about fat slobs like me not deserving health care...who deserves it less, somebody who likes to down a cheeseburger every now and then, or somebody who deliberately engages in behavior that'll get them AIDS? Funny how it's OK to go after smokers and the obese, but drug addicts and high-risk non-monogamous homosexuals never get mentioned.
Democrats, realizing the success of the President's "Cash For Clunkers" rebate program, have revamped a major portion of their National Health Care Plan.
President Obama, Speaker Pelosi, and Sen. Reed are expected to make this major announcement at a joint news conference later this week. I have obtained an advanced copy of the proposal which is named....
"CASH FOR CODGERS" and it works like this... Couples wishing to access health care funds in order to pay for the delivery of a child will be required to turn in one old person. The amount the government grants them will be fixed according to a sliding scale. Older and more prescription dependent codgers will garner the highest amounts.
Special "Bonuses" will be paid for those submitting codgers in targeted groups, such as smokers, alcohol drinkers, persons 10 pounds over their government prescribed weight, and any member of the Republican Party.
Smaller bonuses will be given for codgers who consume beef, soda, fried foods, potato chips, lattes, whole milk, dairy products, bacon, Brussel sprouts, or Girl Scout Cookies.
All codgers will be rendered totally useless via toxic injection. This will insure that they are not secretly resold or their body parts harvested to keep other codgers in repair.
Remember you heard it here first...
Did you just talk with Rush on air?
Nope...weren't me. I'm listening to Rush.
I'm female, btw.
The Lady who talked to him last hour referred to the Obammys peeing on our feet and telling us it's raining.
Odd isn't it? With a couple of posts we have shown the Government how to prioritize "rationing" but who really thinks they will listen?
This is a political healthcare bill to get more voters. Period.
So, illegals, drug addicts, AIDS patients, etc, will be UNLIMITED HEALTHCARE. All other non-millionaires, please die.
The voters put evil in office, and evil shall be their reward.
"So why cant I buy a health insurance policy that exempts any AIDS coverage?"
So, when government health care destroys private insurance, and the gov't picks up the total tab for HIV/AIDS drugs/treatment and all the bennies that go with that politcally correct disease, there won't be any money for anything else. How would you even calculate the cost?
....And nothing we do for these "victims" has any effect on their behavior.
Well God love her. Must have been when I dozed off.
But it's what he's doing, eh?
Surely you jest! What the dems don't tell you is that aids care will be provided free to all who need it, and that the borders will be opened wide to all with aids, and they will come in and get treated free. To pay for it, of course, granma and granpa will have to take a pill (unless they have aids or are having an abortion or a sex change operation)
This way the dems will repay one of their biggest constituents.

Ewan McGregor's Obi-Wan comeback? Unlikely
Besides a third 'Star Wars' trilogy that will kick off in 2015, individual movies are planned focusing on certain characters.
While promoting his latest film, the fairy-tale adventure Jack the Giant Slayer opening March 1, Ewan McGregor took a moment to briefly discuss with USA TODAY whether the reawakened Star Wars franchise means he will be pulled back into Jedi duty soon.
"I was told before it was announced that George Lucas had sold Lucasfilm to Disney last year," says the actor, who followed in the light saber-swinging footsteps of Alec Guinness as the young Obi-Wan Kenobi in the second Star Wars trilogy that ended in 2005.
Besides a third trilogy that will kick off in 2015, individual movies are planned focusing on certain characters. Entertainment Weekly has reported they might include an origin story based on mercenary Han Solo, made famous by Harrison Ford, and a look at the world of intergalactic bad guys centered around Boba Fett, the bounty hunter and cult figure.
But so far, McGregor says there has been no discussion about the possibility of an Obi-Wan comeback. "I've probably would have heard by now if there was," he says. Isn't he on a Jedi retainer of some sort whenever his presence is needed in the Star Wars universe? "I wish, but no."

The El Quebrados Medical Center is a medical center featured in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
It is located in the town of El Quebrados in Tierra Robada, San Andreas, near the town's police station. The player appears outside of the medical center if he dies within Tierra Robada or northern Bone County (including crashes during Learning to Fly that are not prevented by the game), as it is the only hospital in the region.
There is always an ambulance parked outside the hospital. The Paramedic missions can be done easily by taking the patients to this clinic; plus, the furthest patients are in the Sherman Dam area, which is not too far away from the medical center.

"I have work with a lot of recruitment agencies over the years, yet find Juice personal one of the top agencies. When they promise to ring you they do so when they say they will, and when I got lost trying to find the office, they were patient and kindly directed me to their office!
Highly recommend Juice. Thank you for finding my new role.
Leon Dickson - Perm candidate
"If it hadn't been for you guys and your powers of persuasion I'm quite aware that I wouldn't even have got an interview, never mind an offer. I had been for interview with a number of agencies, both in Wakefield and Leeds, but have to say Juice was the only one which I felt understood exactly what I was looking for, despite my qualifications. It was also the friendliness which I loved – you almost make candidates feel they are part of your team.
Viki has been great – keeping my morale going at the beginning when I was waiting for decisions!!
Carol Taylor- Temporary to permanent worker
"After finishing university I was looking for paid legal work which is very hard to come by on a temporary basis. Juice were fully professional yet had a friendly approach to finding me a job and succeeded. I am now working in a field that I love and couldn't thank them more!"
Rebecca Beech - Summer Temporary Worker
"I have worked for several different agencies in my working life and Juice Personnel is in my opinion the friendliest and most helpful team of people I have come across. They go out of their way to help and support their clients. I would happily recommend them. I am excited about my new journey that I didn't feel was possible.
I mean every word of this Thanks all!!
Lisa Baker - Temporary Worker
""The staff at Juice are so friendly and really committed to finding work that really suits you. Their communication is great and I receive regular emails detailing new vacancies. If you are thinking of registering with an employment agency, don't hesitate to go with Juice - you won't be disappointed.""
Carole Shaw - Temporary worker
"Rebecca has been thoroughly professional and supportive right from her initial call after I submitted my on line application, throughout the various interview stages ,offering help and guidance with my presentation and finally her call to tell me that I had been successful in securing my new position.
She boosted my confidence at every stage!!
To come in to see me on my first day with a bouquet of flowers to congratulate me was a really unexpected but lovely and thoughtful thing to do
Thank you so much!
Donna Roebuck - Permanent Placement
"I have only been registered with Juice Personnel for around six months and in that time they have managed to find me an amazing job opportunity suited well to my needs. Rebecca was dealing with all my interview arrangements and was so helpful and professional with every one, she has supported me when I was ridiculously nervous and helped me to land the job I have been waiting for. I could not have done it without her and would highly recommended anyone looking for something new, to register with this amazing recruitment agency!"
Laura Adams - Placed in a permanent role
"Juice Personnel found me a great job that suited me and what I was looking for. The staff are all very efficient & have great communication with their clients.
I started temping with them within a couple of weeks of enquiry about a job. I was temping for 3 months and now I am starting with the company permanent.
I would highly recommend using Juice if you are out of work or looking for a new job. "
Kirsty Walton - Temp to Perm placement
"In terms of feedback, you kindly found me something in the interim and were always very efficient and helpful if I had an queries relating to pay, terms, start and end dates, ect. You also kept in touch with me by telephone and via a job board email, which was helpful, in helping me find work.
Overall, I would have no hesitation in recommending your company to anyone and wish you well in your future endeavours."
Sam Bingley - Temporary Worker
""Juice Personnel is a great agency made up of dedicated and friendly staff. I highly regard their professional opinions and found them very helpful in supporting my search for a new role and will be recommending them to all my friends and family.""
Mark Banfield - Placed in a permanent position
"Very professional and friendly staff. Made me feel at ease in the registering process and was very quick in finding me a suitable placement. From that placement I got offered a full time position.
I would highly recommend Juice Personnel to anyone if you are looking for temp or permanent working positions."
Claire Issott - Temporary to permanent worker
"I would just like to say how helpful and professional these girls are, they have never let me down and are always true to their word, always available with lots of support and advice, fantastic company to work with and for - thank you"
Ruth Amis - Long term temporary worker
"All I can say is my experience with Juice Personnel was friendly and proficient. In no time at all I was set up for interviews that suited my capabilities and requirements. All communication was both helpful and timely with a very polite manner. If I ever needed an agency again, I would be contacting Juice Personnel."
Anthony Matthews - Placed in a permanent position
"Juice Personnel is a professionally run and maintained agency with the great ability to balance work to its many members of staff, a very difficult task of late.
I am often asked why I have been with Juice so long - 10 dedicated years. Having been to other agencies, they quite honestly just don't compare to Juice is my stock answer. I also tell them that after being with Juice for so many years my wages have never been late; this is very important as you know what you are going to get.
So why change something that is right?
Dedicated Juice Professional.
10 Years and counting.
Ian Jenkins - Class 1 Driver
"I found juice personnel extremely friendly and professional and made my job search a much more relaxed experience. Regular feedback and contact made me feel that I was really been looked after, and would definitely recommend them to friends and would use them again for a new job search and for recruiting in my role.
Plus the girls were lovely!!!!
Emma Antsey - Placed in a permanent position
"Juice Personnel, is an extremely friendly, down to earth recruitment agency, whom I have used twice in my young professional career. The first being back in 2010, when I had first graduated and a little lost in the world of employment. They secured me a great temporary job, in which I had requested and in turn, developed in to a full time position. Since then, after moving on, traveling the world, I again found myself in the position of looking for a career change. I instantly remembered the amazing service and supportive nature of Juice and called them to help me find my current position. I cannot thank them enough for their helpful, friendly and supportive role, which they took in finding my new career and could not recommend them enough to others! Thank you Bex and the rest of Juice for all your efforts!"
Hannah Toon - Permanent Candidate
"I would like to take this opportunity to say a huge thank you to Juice Personnel for their assistance in helping me gain my recent employment, in particular Resourcing Consultant Viki Freeman who was very professional, extremely helpful and did an excellent job in representing me to a prospective employer which led me to successfully gain an interview, which ultimately resulted in a job offer.
Viki always kept me up to date with how things were progressing, unlike previous recruitment agencies I have used where I was the one doing all the chasing for progress. I would also like to mention Kelly Smith who again with great professionalism was very helpful to me.
Once again thank you, I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for future employment to try Juice Personnel."
Jayne Noble - Placed in a permanent position
"Juice were brilliant at understanding exactly what I was looking for in terms of a career. After just one meeting with them, they had put me forward to the company that I have now been working at for 1 year, and already I have been given the chance to develop and progress. I have never been happier and I think the fact that Juice listened to all the little things I wanted from my next role is exactly the reason that I was placed so perfectly!"
Amy Cooper - Placed in a permanent position
"Juice is a friendly company who will always try and help you if there is any issues and will try and accommodate relevant shifts that are better suited to you.
They have a great customer experience and I would recommend the company to anyone "
Rob Bisby - Class 1
"Juice comes as a refreshing change after working with other agencies. Support and feeling valued are a key to temp workers - the team at juice never fail to provide this, leaving me to get on with the assignment.
Being a temp suits my lifestyle - allowing contact with the workplace and continued skills development - whilst giving me the flexibility to achieve my personal goals.
Well don Team Juice! Happy to be part of the family! "
Linda Thornley - Long standing temporary worker
""I approached Juice Personnel after having my maternity leave in 2015 to look for a more suitable role which would fit around my new circumstances. It was a pleasure to visit their office & meet with Claire, she made the whole process extremely easy which was such a relief after being away from the working environment for a few months. Within a week she had found me a great position & I continue to work for the same company. She was a great point of contact and offered fantastic advice and support every step of the way. Thank you Claire & Juice Personnel!""
Charlie O'Neil - Placed in a permanent position
"From my initial contact through to the registration process I found the staff at Juice Personnel to be very polite and professional. You are treated respectfully and not just another CV on a database. "
Dawn Davis - Registered Candidate
"Hi ladies
Just to let you know that I have accepted an offer of permanent employment this afternoon so I will no longer require your services.
Thank you for everything over the past couple of months, I am really grateful for the temp placements and interviews you have sourced for me.
Fiona Baker - Registered Candidate
"I have worked for Juice Personnel now for 15 years.
They have supplied me with work for 95% of that time, when requested. If I have had to give back word on shifts, as long as I have I gave good notice, they have always understood and not chastised me.
The staff have always been respectful, as have I, and I have always have had queries handled swiftly and to my satisfaction.
Thank you to all staff for your professionalism and most importantly, paying on time all the time with no hassle.
It's a pleasure to work for an agency you respect, and are respected in return. A real team spirit.
I would recommend anyone to register with this agency, whether you use it or not, they will always be there when needed."
John Keating - Class 1 Driver
"After working in transport for over 45 years, mostly as a hgv driver, I took an early retirement package, and decided to work as an Agency driver.
I worked for a few agencies and then joined Juice. It is like working for a family company. Everyone is approachable, and helpful, and happy.
I have now worked for Juice for over 3 years. I work a few days a week between holidays. Although I swap my days around, Juice always seem to find me work when I want it, working for companies that I like working for, and at times that suit me.
I have never had a problem with my wages.
Although I am now officially retired, I plan to continue working for a few years yet, and I have no intention of working for anyone other than Juice.
In my opinion, they are the best agency around.
Ron Harrison - Class 1 Driver
"I have found everyone in the team to be very helpful, friendly, efficient and encouraging during my job search. I felt they had a genuine interest in finding the right job for me and that they were as happy as I was when I was offered the position, thank you.
Thank you again for all help
Laura Self - Placed in a permanent role
""I found the Staff at juice personal especially Viki to be extremely personable and accommodating. I was kept up to date with the progress of my application and subsequent interview and received communication from Viki both before and after interview which I found to be helpful. I would highly recommend this company for anybody looking for new employment""
Jenna Hudson - Placed in a permanent position
"Wow, what can I say about Juice Personnel.
Just that you are the ONLY agency that has ben honest and fair to me when I have been in need. I have always had swift responses, been offered fantastic opportunities and been provided with a friendly voice at the end of the phone too.
When I lost my job you provided me with a temporary income that meant that I could worry a little less about accepting a job that I didn't want just to pay the bills, this was something I was passionate about. I cant really some up how I feel in to words, but a local, honest, friendly, but a professional company and without a doubt the best that I have ever come across and believe me, I have come across several in my career search.
Your team are the only members of recruitment that I will allow on my linked in, think that's testimony to your company.
Hope you can take something from the above."
Emma Hyman - Placed in a permanent position
"From day one Juice Personnel have been very professional, informative and truly outstanding when searching and placing me in employment. From the moment I first walked through the office doors to meet with one of their representatives I have been nothing but pleased and extremely satisfied with Juice. They have managed to source a position close to home with outstanding credentials which I am extremely grateful for. I have found that Juice are by far the best agency I have dealt with in West Yorkshire and I would highly recommend them to friends, family or any business associates that may need form of employment. Although I have not been with Juice long, I know that the relationship can only blossom and go from strength to strength."
Richard Allen- Long term temporary
"I found Juice Personnel and their staff to be extremely helpful with my job search. I was kept fully updated on any changes to my application and on any other potential vacancies. I have recommended Juice to friends colleagues and would recommend their services again. Great team of people."
Kirsty Hewson - Long term temporary worker
"I approached Juice personnel in October 2014 looking for some temporary work. They were great to work with and found me a placement right away. This initially started as a temporary contract. After a few weeks the company offered me a permanent position working on reception on a part time basis. Since then, my personal circumstances have changed slightly and I applied recently for another position within the company on full time basis as a HR administrator.
I was offered the position on a 3 month trail, which looks like it is now going to go permanent quite soon. I will probably be working with Juice again now as I will now be responsible for helping with the recruitment for the company. I am looking forward to working with Juice again. I am really enjoying my new role and I would like to thank all at Juice for all their help in finding me a great job and career. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending them to friends and family."
Tracy Johnson - Long Term Temporary worker
"Working with Juice has been so beneficial and advantageous as they will do anything with open arms to find the most suited job for you as they did for me. In my opinion they are unlike any other agency I have been with.
They are very understanding of your previous employment and future employment and take into consideration what sort of field and environment you are wanting to work in.
If you're ever unhappy with anything they will listen to your problems and solve them as quickly and as efficiently as possible. They are all very polite and lovely people to talk to and I've never been so happy or so settled in a job 2 days in, that they found me. An outstanding recruitment agency very recommended!"
Emily Duggan - Temporary to permanent
My experience of using Juice Personnel, during my job search was brilliant from start to end. They were polite, friendly and approachable. Nothing was ever too much trouble and if they couldn't answer my queries immediately, they returned my call within the day.
I felt as though they really cared about finding me the right position, to suit my circumstances. I would definitely use them again and would recommend their services.
Fiona Shakesby - Placed in a permanent position
"I have been registered with Juice for over 1 year and find everyone that works for the company professional, very helpful, honest and reliable. They have always been quick to find me work at reputable companies where I have enjoyed working, I would recommend Juice to anyone looking for work time and time again."
Lauren Clark - Temp to Perm placement
"I can not thank Juice enough for there kind professional help towards me getting a new job. I was out of work at the time and starting to panic about what to do next but Juice reassured me and found me the perfect job and was by my side right to the end and after my third interview with the company I got the job! Juice was always on hand if I ever needed them for advice on interviews or there afterwards to let them know how I got on. I highly recommend Juice to anyone. Thank you again!"
Jessica Rowley - Placed in a permanent position
"Juice Personnel gave me a chance when I didn't have good references, they put me on a placement where I was able to show my skills and get an up to date reference. I really enjoyed working with juice and Viki through out my placement. Thanks Juice!"

Of the Office for Civil Rights
Fiscal Year 2006
It is my pleasure to present the Office for Civil Rights' (OCR) Annual Report to Congress for FY 2006. In this report, OCR provides a summary of its substantive achievements in FY 2006. I am proud to serve with the highly motivated, qualified and committed staff of OCR in furthering the mission of this office on behalf of our nation's students.
OCR's mission is to ensure equal access to education and to promote educational excellence throughout the nation through vigorous enforcement of civil rights. This report details OCR's accomplishments in enforcing the civil rights laws under which OCR has been granted jurisdiction to address and remedy discrimination. These enforcement efforts include complaint investigation and resolution, and proactive enforcement through compliance reviews and technical assistance, as well as regulatory and policy development. This report also highlights OCR's efforts to improve its enforcement capabilities by promoting management excellence. Even in light of shrinking resources and increasing complaint receipts, OCR continues to accomplish its mission and meet the highest performance and quality standards.
The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB) is based on the premise that every child can learn. In announcing No Child Left Behind in January 2001, President Bush said, "These reforms express my deep belief in our public schools and their mission to build the mind and character of every child, from every background, in every part of America." For every child to learn, every child must have equal access to educational opportunities. OCR continues to play a key role in ensuring equal access.
A primary requirement of NCLB is grade-level proficiency for all students by 2014. The President's American Competitiveness Initiative announced in the president's 2006 State of the Union address further emphasizes the importance of this goal. President Bush explained, "[T]o keep America competitive, one commitment is necessary above all: We must continue to lead the world in talent and human creativity." Education is key to keeping America competitive. To fully realize the great talent and ingenuity present in this country, all Americans must have equal access to education. We must not let discrimination hinder the next step: ensuring that every child does learn.
|If we ensure that America's children succeed in life, they will ensure that America succeeds in the world.
President George W. Bush
2006 State of the Union address
Ensuring that no child is left behind includes making certain that no child is subjected to discrimination in our schools. OCR's efforts in 2006 had a profound impact on securing access to high-quality education for all students, such as by ensuring that: elementary and secondary school students with disabilities receive a free appropriate public education; students are not incorrectly placed in special education on the basis of race or due to the student's limited English proficiency; schools respond appropriately when students are subjected to racial, sexual or disability harassment; and postsecondary education institutions provide access to programs to individuals with disabilities
When U.S. Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings announced her "Action Plan for Higher Education" in FY 2006, she stated:
"[t]here are far too many Americans who want to go to college but can't—either because they're not prepared or can't afford it. To expand access to higher education we must better prepare our students—starting with high standards and accountability in our public schools." OCR continues to work to prevent and address discrimination at the postsecondary level so that all students have the opportunity to obtain higher education. OCR's work in ensuring access to high-quality elementary and secondary school programs also impacts the success of the American postsecondary education system by providing students access to academic programs and activities that better prepare them for college. Ultimately, these efforts necessarily impact the nation's ability to succeed in a competitive global economy.
|Our aim is simply to ensure that in a new era of global competition, higher education remains the path to the American Dream, and that more Americans have access
to it.
Secretary Spellings has said, "We are honored and trusted with the responsibility of ensuring our next generation is equipped to participate in the American Dream." For all students to be equipped, all students must have equal access to educational opportunities. This Annual Report to Congress details OCR's efforts in meeting this mission.
Respectfully submitted,
Stephanie Monroe
Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights

Disturbed Land Restoration
Disturbed land restoration (DLR) is the process of restoring lands where the natural conditions and processes have been impacted by development (e.g. facilities, roads, mines, dams, abandoned campgrounds) and/or by agricultural practices (e.g. farming, grazing, timber harvest, abandoned irrigation ditches) to the unimpaired natural conditions.
Lands disturbed by human activity often cause unwanted and long-lasting problems that affect other resources. Many of these disturbances obliterate soil profiles, exacerbate the invasion of exotic plants, result in contamination of water and soil, and/or cause erosion and sedimentation. These damages, in turn, frequently impair the quality of habitats, disrupt ecosystem functions, and cause problems for parks managing areas as wildlands.
Restoration is fundamentally a multidisciplinary pursuit that involves the understanding of the biological and physical systems and their interactions. The restoration of a sustainable ecological system often depends on the successful restoration of the physical conditions and processes with which the biological community evolved. Likewise, the ability of a system to sustain physical conditions and processes often depends on the condition and sustainability of the biological environment. In this context, disturbed lands restoration is an extensive thematic component of what is broadly known as ecological restoration. The Society for Ecological Restoration defines ecological restoration as "the process of assisting the recovery and management of ecological integrity. Ecological integrity includes a critical range of variability in biodiversity, ecological processes and structures, regional and historical context, and sustainable cultural practices."
The Role of the National Park Service
In many areas, National Park System units represent the last vestiges of once vast and undisturbed ecosystems. Yet, over 315,000 acres in 195 parks have been disturbed by modern human activities, including abandoned roads, dams, canals, railroads, grazed areas, campgrounds, mines, and other abandoned sites. Some of these features may be of historical significance, but most are not in keeping with the mandates of the National Park System units or the mission of the National Park Service, "to conserve the scenery and the natural and historic objects and the wild life therein...unimpaired for the enjoyment of future generations." (16 U.S.C. 1 et seq.)
In practice, natural system restoration is approached as a conceptual rather than an absolute goal. Although a standard dictionary defines restoration as returning something to a former or unimpaired condition, the NPS's use of the term natural system restoration recognizes that reaching the former or unimpaired condition may take many years to decades. Therefore, natural system restoration by the National Park Service typically involves correcting resource interactions that function unnaturally and ensuring that the directions of the recovery processes are along the proper trajectory, rather than attempting to recreate the end state of an unimpaired natural system. For example, removal of materials of a roadbed may be sufficient to allow for recruitment of plant species (via seed bank or seed rain) into that reclaimed area. If plant community succession is facilitated in this way and requires no other active management or species introductions, then the area may be considered restored. Note that monitoring this process is essential to such a determination and that considerations of animal species (especially invertebrates) and other microbial organisms that control many functions of an ecosystem make the claim of complete and successful restoration difficult. This makes the selection of appropriate and realistic goals and objectives all the more important to a project.

TripsWithPets.com offers disaster preparedness guide for pets
Hurricane season is now upon us - running from June 1 to Nov. 30. It is expected to be a busy hurricane season this year. Some experts have predicted 18 named storms and nine hurricanes, four of which may be major hurricanes.
It is not realistic to think certain areas cannot be affected by a hurricane. The entire Atlantic and Gulf coasts are considered high-risk areas. Inland areas are affected by the high winds, floods and tornadoes. The best protection from a hurricane is to be prepared and have a plan. These plans should include the entire family - that means pets, too.
To help pet owners prepare for hurricane season, TripsWithPets.com provides an online disaster preparedness and resource guide for pets (www.tripswithpets.com/prepare).
Pets are abandoned during hurricanes and natural disasters every year. Pet owners' lack of planning is a big part of the problem. Many find themselves scrambling to find a safe harbor for their pet in the event of evacuation from their homes.
The most important part of a disaster plan is to prepare for an evacuation. Red Cross disaster shelters cannot accept pets because of states' health and safety regulations and other considerations. Further, most kennels, veterinarians, and animal shelters are usually filled beyond capacity. TripsWithPets.com's disaster preparedness and resource guide for pets offers a pet evacuation plan checklist, complete with resources on finding a safe place for pets to stay, what to do if pets are home alone when disaster strikes, as well as recommended items to include in a pet evacuation and disaster kit.
In addition, the TripsWithPets.com disaster preparedness and resource guide for pets includes links to the National Hurricane Center, Weather Channel, American Red Cross and FEMA - just to name a few. The guide also offers site visitors access to helpful directories, such as 20,000-plus pet friendly accommodations across the U.S. and Canada, airlines, pet hospitals and more.
"We never know when a disaster will strike. That's why we all need to take the time now to prepare a disaster plan for our pets," said Kim Salerno, president of Trips with Pets. "The best thing you can do to ensure the safety and well being of your pets is to be prepared."
To keep pets safe, create a disaster plan now.

Missy Bowles lost her father, Richard O. Dorsey, to mesothelioma cancer in the late summer of 2008; but for this tireless, driven individual, the loss of a loved one to this disease was merely the beginning. It was in 2009 that Missy's Google search for "mesothelioma support" led her to the Mesothelioma Applied Research Foundation. At this point, she made an oath to do what she could to promote awareness and raise funds for important research into malignant mesothelioma. Three years later, Missy is continuing the fight and nurturing her belief in a cure. "The Foundation was able to direct me back then in my first steps of how to put a fundraiser together," Missy recalls, "and from that point on it took off."
As we have blogged previously about creativity in a fundraiser, Missy quickly realized that the only limitation in what she could do to bring to everyone's attention the severity of mesothelioma was her own imagination and ingenuity. Her 5K Walk, she knew, needed to be something more, so she added to the event a charity gospel sing, raffles and a silent auction featuring local vendors, and food and fun for everyone in the family. West Virginia's Putnam County has embraced this memorial event and is currently ramping up for the third year of ROD's Benefit for Meso, happening this year on September 22. "This new tradition," Mark Hailburn reports for PutnamLIVE.com, "is a hit while lending a helping hand. The event continues to get bigger, better, and brings more awareness to others."
"Third time is the charm," Missy states, "Each year we have raised around or a little over $15,000 for research, and this year I plan to top that, reaching a goal of $20,000. This September, Eleanor Town Park in Eleanor, WV will be hosting the event." At this year's event, some of the items being given away include Coach purses, Vera Bradley items, fishing gear, dinners, tans, and overnight stays at hotels and bed & breakfasts.
While ROD's Benefit for Meso sounds like a lot of work (and it is!), Missy's drive to promote mesothelioma awareness is not limited to just this yearly event. She now organizes a summer event called Smiles for Meso with professional photographer Amanda Crowder. This project is centered around Crowder's studio offering portrait packages and sitting fees with part of the purchase going to mesothelioma research. But that's not all.
On August 27, Missy will be teaming up with Buffalo Wild Wings in Nitro, WV for a 5-9 p.m. fundraiser where patrons (dine in or carry out) simply mention "mesothelioma" while placing their order. This will result in Buffalo Wild Wings graciously contributing 15% of that purchase towards the Meso Foundation. And if you think that's enough for Missy and her summer, think again. All this is just a warm-up as Missy gets ready to work out for mesothelioma awareness and research.
"My first ever Zumbathon for Meso will be held on Sept. 21st in Eleanor Town Park the evening before the big run/walk event. "We will begin at 6pm with Zumba in the Park with my instructor, Katie Toney." For those unaware, Zumba is a variety of cultural dances, ranging from salsa, merengue, and calypso, turned into a sweat-intensive, multicultural workout. "We will zumba for an hour and break for some items of raffle and then dance for another hour." With each $15 registration, participants will each receive a tee-shirt and gift bag.
Once her summer events are over, Missy also collaborates with friends from local tanning salon Tanfastiq to create seasonal gifts that are auctioned off throughout the year to keep the need for mesothelioma research funds on everyone's minds. "We always are blessed with the help and sponsorship of our local communities, and each year it continues to grow."
And still, Missy is not done.
"I wanted the residents of West Virginia to understand and acknowledge mesothelioma by having a designated day for it," she says. Last year, Missy contacted the Meso Foundation's Government Liaison, Jessica Barker. "She provided a lot of guidance," Missy recalls, "telling me with whom I should start talking." With Jessica's help, Missy contacted House Representative Brady Paxton who was eager to meet with her and begin work on this incredible step forward for the state. She then found herself winning the support of Senator Mike Hall. Within one month of visiting the Capitol, Missy, her mother, and her son were invited to the State Capitol to watch the passage of the resolution for Mesothelioma Awareness Day to be recognized in the State of West Virginia.
With all this, Missy never loses perspective on her motivation. "I am proud of my efforts that my father's life has pushed me to do, but this will never bring him back," she states. "He was such and unselfish and giving man that, I know if he could, he would do all he could to help others that face this disease. So in his honor and because he cannot, I will keep fighting for him and for others. I am here to help, guide and give them advice about the next steps to take and whom to contact for help and support."
From the Foundation, Missy, we thank you for everything you do.

In the bowl of a food processor, combine the olive oil, sherry vinegar, lemon juice, parsley, basil, oregano, garlic and shallots. Pulse until well blended but do not puree. Add 1/4 teaspoon of the black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and the crushed red pepper. Remove 1 cup of the chimichurri sauce from the processor and transfer to a non-reactive bowl, cover with plastic wrap and reserve at room temperature for up to 6 hours. (If cooking steak another day, refrigerate sauce and return to room temperature before serving.)
Season the steak with 1 teaspoon of the kosher salt on each side, as well as 1/4 teaspoon of the black pepper per side and place in a large, resealable plastic bag. Add the remaining chimichurri sauce from the processor. Seal bag and refrigerate the steak for at least 2 and up to 4 hours.
Preheat a grill to medium heat.
Once the steak has finished marinating, remove it from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for 30 minutes. Brush the excess chimichurri sauce off the steak and set the steak over the hot grill. Cook for 6 minutes on the first side. Rotate the steak 45 degrees, and cook another 6 minutes. Turn the steak over and continue to cook until the steak is done, about 6 to 8 minutes for medium-rare. Once cooked, lay the steak on a clean cutting board, and allow it to rest for 5 to 7 minutes before slicing across the grain into 2-inch wide strips. Serve with crusty bread and the reserved chimichurri sauce.

Taylor Swift's romance with One Direction star Harry Styles is heating up - the country singer has introduced the Brit to her mom.
The young couple sparked rumors of a blossoming romance last month (Nov12) after Swift was spotted holding hands with the boyband star backstage at The X Factor in Hollywood.
They have since gone public with their relationship, enjoying a trip to New York City's Central Park Zoo and hanging out at Z100's Jingle Ball concert before taking their love overseas to his native England, where she celebrated her 23rd birthday last week (13Dec12).
Reports suggest the Love Story hitmaker was introduced to Styles' mom during their visit to the U.K. and now Swift has followed suit by taking him back to Los Angeles to meet her homemaker mother Andrea on Wednesday (19Dec12).
Photographs show Swift holding her parent's arm outside her mansion, while Styles can be seen standing close by and showing off his growing collection of tattoos in a T-shirt.

The Collector by Nora Roberts
Although it reads more like a cozy mystery than a suspenseful thriller, The Collector by Nora Roberts is another great book by an author who to date has written 184 New York Times bestsellers - including 33 written as J.D. Robb, as her website proudly proclaims. The first character we meet in her latest bestseller is Lila Emerson, a professional house sitter and writer of young adult novels, as she settles into her latest client's swanky New York apartment while they head off to the south of France for three weeks. One night Lila witnesses something horrible while looking out the apartment window (Remind you of the movie Rear Window?) and is soon drawn into a world of murder, mystery and priceless antiques.
Lila grew up as an army brat and moved numerous times during her childhood so her house sitting career fits her lifestyle perfectly. Every few weeks she moves to another glamorous new location and has no tedious responsibilities such as rents or mortgages or utility bills. She loves to people watch and spends a good deal of time watching the world out the windows of her clients' homes through her binoculars. As a writer, she likes to make up stories about the lives of the people she observes in the neighboring buildings, and, as a house sitter, there are always new windows to peek into. Lila spends the first week in her latest client's apartment watching the interesting people across the courtyard. She especially enjoys watching the drama unfold between the glamorous couple on the fourteenth floor. They both look like models, and continuously seem to do nothing but fight and make up. One sleepless night, Lila is horrified to see the woman being beaten, and then pushed out the window to fall to her death. She reports the crime to the police, who also find the body of the woman's boyfriend in the apartment and it appears to be a murder-suicide.
As Lila leaves the police station after giving her statement she meets Ashton Archer, the deceased boyfriend's half-brother. Ashton doesn't believe Lila's or the police's account of events. He is positive his half-brother Oliver would never murder anyone. He convinces Lila to have coffee with him across the street from the police station and to reexamine what she witnessed. When Lila realizes she couldn't clearly identify the man who pushed the woman out of the window, they join forces to try to uncover what really happened and their relationship begins to evolve into more than a casual acquaintance. Ashton soon discovers that Oliver was in possession of one of the famous Fabergé eggs. Danger abounds as a mysterious collector is hell-bent on owning it, no matter the cost or consequences. A deadly, dangerous and beautiful Asian hitwoman enters the picture determined to locate the missing Fabergé egg on behalf of her employer. Unfortunately for Ashton and Lila, she is determined to eliminate any and all "loose ends". What unfolds is a series of dangerous and exciting events, all leading up to a satisfying conclusion.
I think Lila resembles a character seen in many of the author's previous books. She's competent and caring, with a few endearing quirks. The hero is familiar as well - not only gorgeous and rich, but talented with a large family. In Nora Roberts's typical style, The Collector shows us what extreme lengths some people are willing to go to get what they want.

Kazakhstani officers visit the 4th MISG (A)
FORT BRAGG, N.C. (USASOC News Service, May 10, 2013) - As part of the Military Information Support Command's ongoing military-to-military relationship building efforts, the 4th Military Information Support Group (Airborne) hosted a delegation from the Special Operations Command – Central (SOCCENT) and the Kazakhstani Ministry of Defense Psychological Operations (PSYOP) forces at Fort Bragg, N.C.
Four members from the Kazakhstani PSYOP unit, along with two representatives from SOCCENT, visited the 4th MISG (A) April 7-13, 2013. The purpose of the visit was to introduce the Kazakhstani's to U.S. Military Information Support Operations capabilities as well as to discuss future training opportunities.
This event and future MISO training are being conducted in conjunction with the Warsaw Initiative Fund Program.
The Warsaw Initiative Fund is a bilateral U.S. security cooperation program that provides support to developing countries that are members of the NATO Partnership for Peace (PfP) program.
WIF is the primary tool the Department of Defense uses to advance defense reform and institutions building in PfP partner countries, improve the interoperability of partner countries with U.S. and NATO, and promote partner country integration and accession to NATO.
Program activities are conducted in accordance with regional- and country-specific priorities established by the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy, U.S. European Command, and U.S. Central Command.
Within the Kazakhstani military, PSYOP forces and capabilities are relatively new, with the first unit being formed less than two years ago, under the direction of the minister of defense.
Members from SOCCENT and the 4th MISG (A) conducted the first information exchange event to Kazakhstan in January 2013, during which current Kazakhstani PSYOP capabilities and force structure were discussed.
Follow-on exchange events were then scheduled to continue the information sharing as well as to strengthen relationships between our two countries.
Future training events have tentatively been scheduled to occur in early 2015 with the focus on the continued capacity and capability building.
Opportunities like these represent unique opportunities for both U.S. and partner nation special operations forces to exchange information and ideas, as well as develop a deeper cultural understanding.
Furthermore, military-to-military events, such as these, are critical components of the relationship building between nations that aid in the understanding and interoperability of both U.S. and partner nation SOF elements.
Even though the Kazakhstani PSYOP forces are in the nascent stages of development, being able to provide recommendations as well as training for to this unit are both honors and privileges that we are humbled to be a part of.
The 4th MISG (A) looks forward to continuing and expanding our relationship and interaction with our fellow influence practitioners.
