Of course not!
I think, for once, the MSM may be reporting the truth. We all can guess that the main culprits are really those who don't have low salaries and hardly need to worry about high costs of living. Right? Hee hee hee..... just thought I'd leave you with a fantastic fact and funny before shutting down for the weekend.
32 comments:
I support the MACC survey. If I earn less than RM50 million per year (legal or illegal), this is really too low because how can I afford the high cost of living. I've to support a few wives and many more mistresses, my fleet of Porsches, Ferraris, Bentleys, Lexus, Mercedeses, BMWs, maintenance of RM50 million mansion, overseas holidays for wives and mistresses, first class air tickets for shopping trips to Paris/London/New York, fine wine and RM300 cigars, under table payments to UMNO members to vote for me, prostitutes, etc.
How not to succumb to corruption with my pittance salary and high costs of living?
If only the previous Mamakthir and current 1Najib give me more contracts, then I will not be so deprived......sob, sob, sob...
Ibrahim Ali, I'm joining your Perkosa party so that you can fight for more contracts for me.

Then ask MACC what are the factors loh!!! Cheers Brother...
- 6:15 pm
Yes MACC was rite. Low salaries and high cost of living is not the cause of corruption. It is greed.
But why is garment increasing the pay of Polis Raja Di Malaysia? Is it because they are so Raja di Malaysia?
- 6:16 pm
When you are greedy, you will never have enough even if you are highly paid. That's why our umno politicians succumb to corruption, even though they would swear by Quran.

We pee on the toilet bowl cause we need to pee

1. Let's cut the salary of all MACC staff by 90%.
2. What they are trying to say is high-salary with high-cost of lifestyle living are corrupted. We can see that in one particular political party.

Coming to the end of Najib's first year as Prime Minister, the country is bogged down with many unresolved questions and issues, including:
the two missing jet engines disappearing all the way to Uruguay;
the multi-billion ringgit submarine that cannot dive;
the RM12.5 billion Port Klang Free Zone (PKFZ) scandal still awaiting the prosecution of "big fishes";
who killed DAP political aide Teoh Beng Hock who went willingly to Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) headquarters on July 15, 2009 and came out as a corpse the next day;
when MACC will break its apron-strings to its political masters making it the catspaw of Umno/BN political agenda to declare war on Pakatan Rakyat instead of declaring war on corruption;
Malaysia's unchecked plunge down the slope of decreasing international competitiveness accompanied by avoidance of FDI and flight of domestic capital;
First anniversary of Najib's 1Malaysia slogan and concept dogged by the worst politicking of race and religion in recent years, spearheaded by none other than the Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin and Umno media Utusan Malaysia;
The lack of political will to institutionalize inter-religious consultation to promote inter-religious understanding, goodwill and harmony evident from divisive and protracted controversies over the use of the term "Allah";
the difficult birth of Najib's Malaysia.2 new economic model with the continuing and even worsening crisis of brain drain, demonstrating that Najib's administration lacks the political will for the government transformation to win the international competition for talents needed to successful free Malaysia from the middle-income trap and catapult to a high-income country.
The political persecution and trials of Parliamentary Opposition Leader, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim;
the false light at the end of the tunnel for restoration of national and international confidence in the independence, impartiality and integrity of the judiciary highlighted by the 5-0 Federal Court decision on the two Perak Mentri Besar case;
the escalation of Umno/Barisan Nasional conspiracy to cause the disintegration of Pakatan Rakyat and downfall of Pakatan Rakyat state governments; etc.

VERY DIFFICULT but we can make it EASY.
One is invloved in a billions ringgit project fiasco.
One is involved in a porno video.
One lead MCA in the biggest lost during the last General Election.
Don't tell me there are no more good chinese leaders. Why those who portray themselves as leader who will protect the chinese are all tainted. No wonder these so call 'saviours' cannot fight for the chinese community, their balls are tightly grabbed by AmeNO.
Who to choose? Very difficult le.
But let us make it easy. DON'T CHOOSE THEM - DON'T ATTEND THE PARTY ELECTION. Just sit back at home and watch Wah Lai Toi.

Just recently, Musa Hassan said that PDRM takes no orders from anyone. Now he is saying that there is a third party involved. A 'third party' intervening in the police force? Who is the 'third party'? Musa, since you have mentioned this, why keep quiet? We the rakyat would like to know.
The key point is, Musa has lost all respect. It's now a free for all in PDRM. The public at large is able to see that his subordinates are trying very hard to please the Umno political masters to earn their favour. Musa himself is saddled with lots of skeleton in his closet just like PM Najib Razak. It's a real mess in PDRM.
The only way to clean the mess is to vote Umno/BN out. Those who have not registered to vote, please go register at any post office. Another son of mine will be eligible next month to vote and he is eagerly waiting to register. That's another vote for change. Let's save our beloved country - Malaysia.

Leave nothing to assumption. It is not safe to assume that Malay progress will be part of the progress of the whole society.
Malays can be left behind even though our society as a whole has progressed. So far, the effects of economic policies implemented since 1970 have supported this observation- we can still be behind while society in general has improved. Assuming progress comes automatically is fatal.
Hence from the beginning we must assume nothing and leave nothing to chances. We mustn't assume that because we have a Malay government, economic progress flows naturally. It hasn't and part of our disappointment is attributable to the fact that we have assumed having a Malay government alone is sufficient, without reading into it, RIGOROUS QUALIFICATIONS OF HOW A GOOD GOVERNMENT MUST BE.

Patrick,If not of low pay and high cost of living that make many a person succcumbs to graft,then what cause the ever rampant corruptions within our system?My guess is, the ever demanding lifestyle that people want to keep abreast with. Only a GOD fearing person can live within his means, and the rest will resort to whatever it takes to be current,more so with people in high society.
- 4:39 pm
yo brater.. i love u!!!!

I am amused by the remark of mohd ali ismail 94:39 pm).
What's the point of fearing God when a person cannot curb his basic desire/instinct (for lavish lifestyle).
Pray to God for strength?
That's an excuse of not wanting to believe in own's ability but continue to be dependent. I guess that's the shortfall of believing in a supreme being.
- 7:57 pm
The MACC is right, you see those non Government Servants, and/or those no chance to associate with the Government can still survive with such low pay.
Will the juniors/kaki see the seniors/depala get so much easy money with ease, they just sit and watch, when complaining is useless?
I was told some departments even arrange to share the fixed "contribution" to those new staffs, or the "don't know how" staffs regularly, and they are not allow to refuse, else you will be transferred to somewhere nobody like to go. "We are shits, you must be shits too" tactic.
Anyway, if complaining is not working, then the corruption issue will never ceased.
- 8:37 pm
Patrick, the cause of corruption is lazyness, society that do not want to work but want a good lifestyle. The lazy people that either want your wealth to be distributed to them or resort to corruption. Other society have to feed these lazy society. The mother of all crimes is LAZYNESS. Can you name an invention that contribute to society by these lazy people. AMOK is invented by these lazy people.

Circuit training workouts can be done in a gym, in a park, or even at home. The idea is to do different types of exercises, one set after another, without extended breaks to rest. For example, in a gym, you could do bicep curls for two sets of eight repetitions and, without resting, move directly to tricep kickbacks.
Doing one exercise after another keeps your heart rate at an efficient fat-burning level. The idea is not speed, but exercising continuously, for 20 minutes to start, if you are healthy (and adding more exercises as you gain strength). Circuit training is tailor-made for weight loss, and if you resist the temptation to speed through your workout, you will stay in the "fat-burning zone."
Is Circuit Training Good for Beginners?
Yes: work with a certified trainer to make sure you are doing the exercise correctly and safely.
If you are healthy but have not exercised in a while, start with a realistic goal of 20 to 25 minutes. This might mean stretching for five minutes by biking or walking.
Next, plan to only do three to five different types of exercises—but still do them neatly and without any rushing or "cheating."
At the end of your last set, cool down with an easy walk for five minutes and gentle stretching.
How Can I lose Weight with Circuit Training?
Design a sensible exercise program by tracking it on paper. Using a simple notebook, write out your goal weight and determine that you must burn 3,500 calories to lose one pound. A safe goal is to lose about one to two pounds per week.
Do not exceed more than two pounds a week, unless you are under direct supervision of a physician.
This means if you exercise for 30 minutes (doing circuit training twice a week), you might burn in the range of 300 to 450 calories per workout. Boost your weight loss by trimming perhaps 200 to 300 calories off your normal daily diet. Resist the temptation to crash diet; it won't provide enough calories for a good workout, and you risk regaining the weight you lose—and more.
If you commit to doing the circuit training at least twice a week, and add another two to three more sessions of cardiovascular exercise (such as walking or biking for at least 30 minutes), you will easily lose at least one pound per week.
Try a Circuit Training Workout Now
You can do circuit training with very low-tech items:
- a staircase
- a jump rope
- a basketball.
Start by climbing the stairs for five minutes to warm up.
Next, jump rope for two to five minutes.
Continue by taking the basket ball and holding it with both hands, bend both knees slightly, and engage your lower abdominal muscles. Keeping your abs tight, turn to your right, then center and left. Repeat until a minute is up.
Lastly, cool down by walking the stairs slowly for another five minutes. Drink plenty of water and rest…you deserve it!

Admission to Manila Ocean Park's main attractions namely Oceanarium, Jellies, Fish Spa, Marine Life Show & Habitat, and Musical Fountain - is all for P500 only! This Ultimate Experience is really quite a steal!
Just too bad, only kids who are 2feet and below have free admissions. So if your child is more than that, you have to pay in full.
How I Availed It?
These promo tickets were being sold in our office last month. I grabbed tickets for me and my nieces, just in time before I left the company. Oh yes, I already resigned!
How We Did our Visit Efficiently?
Since it's summer and the amusement park is always jampacked, we decided to go at around 2:00pm. We're trying to avoid the crowd.
We first went to see the Dancing Sea Fairies - Jellies!
- when sold separately, admission rate is P150.
Next thing we tried is the Fish Spa.
- when sold separately, admission rate is P150 for 15mins.
not sure if it's still operational
AquaNaut Voyage with Shark Attack!
Then we hurriedly went to Marine Life Show to catch the 4:30pm performance.
- when sold separately, admission rate is P150.
Before watching the next attractions, we headed inside to have snacks at Wendy's.
Musical Fountain Show started at 6:30pm.
- when sold separately, admission rate is P99.
the free musical fountain show in Eastwood is better.
At 7:30pm, it's finally time to see the main attraction: Oceanarium.
- when sold separately, admission rate is P400.
Having paid P500 and enjoying these attractions plus seeing the amusement in my nieces' smiles - made this promo ticket so sulit! Ü

Realizing that your boyfriend doesn't want to be with you anymore is one of the worst feelings in the world. It tears at the heart and leaves a sense of emptiness and helplessness of which there seems no end. Your mind goes into a crazed overdrive and all you can think about is him and all of the experiences and memories you've built and shared together…as a couple. Sleeping is near impossible and you feel like you would do ANYTHING to get him back to ease all of this hurt and pain that you feel.
If this sounds like what you might be going through right now, pay close attention because I have some information that will make you feel much, much better. You see, these feelings are absolutely normal and many girls that are going through a similar breakup and experiencing the same emotional hurt as you actually end up getting their man back and keeping him. And you can too, no matter how bad you think things are. And I sincerely mean that. It is not too late.
So if you really think that your man is the right man for you, the one that you want to fight to be with now and in the future, be sure to watch this next video that will explain in detail the first steps you need to take to win back your love.
Your First Moves to Get Him Back – Step-by-Step
Now that you have gone through that video you should realize that the psychology of the male is truly the key to his heart. It's stunning, really, how effective that course is for women in getting their ex-boyfriends back. Did you read those reviews?!? It's working for girls all over the world! Are men really that easy to figure out everywhere?
Well, enough with the Get Him Back Forever Course for now. If you haven't got the course or at least had the chance to watch the free video, be sure to do so now…
It is the psychology of the male that makes them so easy to figure out and so easy to swing and sway them whichever way you like. And men are pretty much the same worldwide so this advice would work on men literally anywhere in the world no matter where you might be.
Here are a few other tricks that I have picked up from that course…
- Did he say he just wants to be friends or "it's not you it's me"?
- Have you found it difficult to get him to correspond with you.
- Is there another lady in his life?
- Did he unfriend you on Facebook?
- Are you getting mixed signals about your future together?
These are all fairly common and even standard occurrences for relationships today. It certainly does not mean that your relationship is doomed. Thousands of girls just like you have had success using this simple method.
No doubt by this point you have thought long and hard about what you would like to say to him given the opportunity. In truth, you've probably thought too hard about what you'd like to say and when going in unprepared this can lead to a confusing exchange where emotions run over each other and can even be disastrous in your efforts to get him back. This is precisely why we ask you to take these tips into consideration before you decide on what exactly you say to him when given the chance. You only get one first shot at this thing so let's make sure you do it right.
This information has been studied by psychological experts and has been used to create success by girls in the very same position you now find yourself. So take a look and see how these methods can help you get the result you desire.
Let this tested and approved method guide you on your heart's mission and your chances for success will have improved greatly. Follow this blueprint or map and getting him back can be quick and painless.
This can be a very trying time for you both emotionally and mentally and you may just feel like curling up on the couch with a gallon of your favorite ice cream and vegging out to some old comfort-bringing movies or television. That response is completely normal and acceptable, however, it definitely won't help you. And with time being of the absolute essence, it is extremely important that you act now and remain vigilant if you really and truly want to have your ex boyfriend back in your life.
Don't let this window of opportunity close on what may be the relationship you're destined to be part of.

What is art?
The art is the officio name where you can create art.The artist is who are Working in this officio.We need in this life understand well that one artist is not some especial person, he is only one person who are working made it art.
In case of Acupuncture Course we can understand that is nearly of environmental art, we can made ours art pieces using the environment or the environment can play inside of ours art works but the most important is the piece of art, it is important not forget that art piece is the center of our idea, so we need made one art piece playing with the space that we have around us.
I need: think, work, prepared and work.
It is my kind way of work. I work at home and I prepared everything really well and later I finish my work, never I start to work with out ideas, the pictures that I want made it can change in the last moment but only for obvious problems or better aesthetic cases.
In my creations I have everything calculate, the size of the line depends how many bigger will be my art piece, so, I need calculate and take the rectangle like in the picture that you can look on here, and this will be the module that I going to use for my pieces of art, in really in my creations I use modules rectangular like here, if I want to do one line more big I need to take the central modulo or if I tell better the rectangle of my central creation.
Example:
For use this module we need to create one imaginary space but the creation of this spaces depends of the limits and the composition that I going to made it, so where I going to introduce my picture and where the creation can have the principal form but in the last time the form imaginary disappear and only we can looks one art piece and not his evolution work.
In this imaginary rectangle where we start to work if not the limit to create the piece, it can be expandable and open a new spaces where the "picture" play with the space and the commons life spaces of the people.
With this example that I saw you can understand better my kind of work. The framing imaginary that I use when I made one work could be expandable but only if it have relation with the principal size and depends If It have a nice distribution of the weight in the lines of the picture, all the intentions in my pieces need are calculate and really thinking so I have only the artistic think of the creation.
With my art pieces I want broken the usual commons spaces and look for new spotlight that the people never thinking about, then people can be part of the art pieces because the spaces is part of his own lives.If you going to Kiasma museum and you looks there one piece of art where you never think that could be one pieces, in this moment my pieces of art are brokering the usual spaces of the people and at the same time they have relation with the pieces of art.To achieve this effect the pieces of art need to be "illegal" in some places. In the case of Kiasma Museum I need to made it with permissions, but in other places the creation need to be fast and anonymous, but always respecting the qualities of my work, made it could be fast but the preparation it is may be at home working hard.
I want get it a nice effect with my pieces but I know that I need to do it more than one for do it the sock effect in the people, I have the problem that when you are moving nearly of the illegal movements you can have a problems and if you prepared the permissions for made it may be you lost long time and the anonymous felling that I want to express so the solution it is do it illegally, but you can not paint where you want because it is not a graffiti, it is a piece of art and you need respect people to made it (the graffiti is not art it is a vandalism, but it is an other issue) the solution is use the commons places that the people have and they never now that they have. For example the roofs of the houses is really different here but for Finish people it is normal but the black of the roofs and his tilt angle can bring us a lot of opportunities to create a nice piece of art, because the citizens looks normal this black color, but… what happened if we change the forms of this places? In this moment we are creating a sock in the normal using or live of the people opening possibilities were before never had it this is the best moment of my creation.
I have a lot of places where I can create my art pieces but the best places is the most commons places so if I made it in the rail station I broken one of the most safely places that Helsinki have it, because is the center, it is using this place 24 hours for a day, it is police watching, but it is not invulnerable, then the sock is perfect.
For my the life is not a straight line, you have in your life moments when you are up and other when you are down, and it is like my pictures, I need to show this lines that appear to be simples but it are complex because. If you are in front of the picture for only one second or you looks it like a flash in one second you maybe do not understand well what means but when the picture appear in front you need to think about why they did it and it is the moment when people start to be "inside" of the picture. The direction that I use in my picture is absolutely free. The line is who play with me like the life are playing so I only need to calculate well the imaginary space where I going to work and I will be free when I made it.The technical that I going to use is simple, It is plastic painting and liquid but may be I need use sprays in some cases to be more fast. The color is unimportant but I prefer the colors that broken with the background color because it is more highlights and give more importance to my picture.
The life is a line that has a beginning an end, live the life is to be in the knot of the middle.

|Festival weekend with the signing of the Town-Twinning Agree
22nd - 25th October 2010:
Friday 22nd:
Kirchheim welcomed delegates from the other 10 European Cultural Villages and following the formal 'Meet & Greet' everyone settled down to take a pictorial look-back at the last successful year in Kirchheim. This very impressive, informative and amusing slide-show was followed by a review of the International Youth Camp (July 2010) given by Elizabeth Danner (Kirchheim) who presented their 'workshop results' however, the absolute highlight of the evening was the official premiere of the film "10,000 Kilometres of Culture". This is a film documentary which highlights the different cultures and views experienced by the youths of our European Villages of Culture as seen through the eyes of the film crew from Wijk aan Zee.
Saturday 23rd:
The morning began with discussions regarding the future of the Cultural Villages under the title of "Cultural Villages 2020" including the 'Visions & Strategies' for collaboration between our 11 villages of Europe. In the afternoon, Bert Kisjes (Wijk aan Zee) presented the book "A Lifelong Change" which contains several stories as told by attendees at the exchange meeting of the older generation.
Sunday 24th:
Today witnessed the ceremonial procedures surrounding the signing of the 'Letter of Intent' and the 'Town-Twinning Agreement' and was attended by the President of the Parliament LAbg Friedrich Bernhofer and the District Governor, Dr. Pumberger.
Deputy Mayor of Kirchheim, Ferdinand Forstenpointner, together with local councillors and delegates from the 11 European Villages of Culture; planted a 'European Tree as a symbolic gesture of the further integration of the Cultural Villages. This was followed initially by speeches from Ferdinand Forstenpointer and Friedrich Bernhofer then the signing of the 'Letter of Intent' by the representatives of the Cultural villages. This document simply outlines the intentions of the participating villages, but in-particular confirms that everybody wishes to continue with their European partnerships. Then came the signing ceremony of the 'Town-Twinning Agreements', but unfortunately (for legal reasons) not all representatives of the cultural villages could sign; none-the-less Eight cultural villages are now officially entered into partnerships with each other. These partnerships now endorse the long-standing friendships of the Cultural Villages and are manifested accordingly.

dog training school gives a lessons how to train dog
Many people feel that dog training is hard. Many also believe some dogs are only not trainable. Both of these views are wrong. Reality of the matter are these claims: all dogs are trainable, and training a dog doesn't have to be hard work. Indeed, training your dog can be fun. It really is of course true that some breed of dogs are easier to train than these. What we disagree with, however, will be the assertion that there are dogs which can't be trained - because that is so untrue. What we venture to explore then, are among the things you need to do, in order to get the training of your dog right.

Parameters for gauging success
You'll be deemed to have gotten working out of your dog right just try to pass on the essential dog skills on your pooch within a reasonable timeframe.
You'll further be deemed to own gotten the training of one's dog right if you manage to the essential dog skills within an enduring way. That is to say, in other words, that you will never be regarded as having been successful in training your dog if the pooch forgets the skill sets taught within a day.
Thus, in summary, the parameters whereby success in dog training can be gauged include:
- The duration of time expended in passing on the essential skills towards the dog.
- The skill sets inculcated in the dog.
- The length of time the skills are retained from the dog.
Of course, in case you are taking too long to feed on certain skills towards the dog, if you are finding it impossible to inculcate certain skills within the dog, or if your new puppy keeps on forgetting skills trained to him or her, it doesn't imply that you aren't doing things well. You must keep it in mind that you have two variables playing here. The first of those is your skill, aptitude and dedication being a dog trainer. And also the second of those can be your dog's natural ability - against a credentials where some breeds of dogs seem to 'get' things faster than others.
Early initiation being a key to success in the training dogs
In other words, there are some skills that one could only teach with a dog when he or jane is young. This means that the commonly held thought that puppies below 6 months of age shouldn't be trained is altogether wrong. The truth is, there are some skills you can find hard to teach into a dog that is much older than six months. It is important to note that unlike us humans, dogs are (in some ways) highly evolved animals - whose life skills learning process starts the moment they are born. For this reason a puppy that loses his mother at ninety days of age may be able to survive in the wild, whereas it would be very hard for a human baby who lost his mother on the same age to live on his or her own inside a similar environment.
The best time to start training a puppy would be when he or jane is learning basic life skills, so that the skills you want to give to him or her will also be adopted alongside those basic canine life skills. Doing this, the required behaviors would be part of the dog's personality. They'd be more deeply ingrained in her or him. This is not to say an adult dog can't be trained. It's just that you'd have a harder time (much less fun) training the older pooch.
It later emerges that some of the people who end up getting the opinion that their dogs usually are not trainable tend to be folks who try at teaching their dogs certain skills too far gone in the dogs' lives. In the event the dogs fail to pick such skills, they are labeled boneheads - whereas it's not really their fault actually unable to pick the skills, but instead, the trainer's fault for not having initiated training earlier.
The proper use of rewards and corrections being a key to success in training dogs.
Whenever we get to the nitty-gritty of canine training, it emerges that various skills and behaviors is only able to be transmitted and ingrained in dogs through the right use of rewards and corrections.
The greatest reward you can get for a dog is attention. And conversely, the biggest correction/punishment you can give to a puppy is deprivation of attention.
Thus, if you want to get you dog to select a certain behavior, you need to simulate (or rather illustrate) it to them, and then reward him or her (with attention) when he behaves accordingly, whist also punishing her or him (with deprivation of attention) when or she ceases to behave accordingly. Wanting at the dog lovingly is really a way of 'rewarding' him or her with attention. Petting her or him is another form of attention reward. Praising the pooch verbally is an additional way of rewarding her or him with attention. True, the dog may not understand the words, but they can sense the emotions in it. Dog seem to have that ability.
Meanwhile, if your dog was enjoying your attention whilst doing something right and you deprive him or her of these attention the moment she or he starts doing a problem, he instantly senses the response and makes the link between his misbehavior along with the deprivation of attention. He's inclined to correct the behavior, in order to regain your attention. These things work particularly well in the event the dog you are trying to teach is still young.
What you mustn't do, however, is usually to hit the dog being a form of punishment/correction: the simple reason because the dog won't understand that being hit is often a form of 'punishment.' Rather, the hit pooch will assume that you are just being violent to them. If the dog continues doing things like running on the road or damaging neighbors stuff, would certainly be better advised to figure out ways of restraining his movements, rather than hitting him.
Patience as being a key to success in the training of dogs
You'll not be successful in canine training unless you are patient. You have to keep it in mind that it requires dogs some time to pick ideas that appear too simple to us as humans. There are people who have this misconception that one could only be successful in canine training if you are 'tough.' On the contrary, this is one of those endeavors where kindness as well as the 'soft approach' seem to work better as opposed to tough Spartan way of training.
Persistence like a key to success in the training of dogs
Closely related to patience (as a key to success in dog training) is persistence. You won't be successful as a dog trainer if you give up too easily - that is certainly, like where you illustrate a desired behavior to a dog, then give up if the dog does not pick it up immediately. The facts of the matter is basically that you have to illustrate a wish behavior to a dog several times, whilst using the necessary reinforcements, up until the dog eventually relates to learn what is expected of your ex.
Consistency as a way to succeed in the training of dogs
This is a scheme where, as an illustration, having settled on a specific reinforcement (reward or punishment), you have to apply it consistently, so the dog under training can understand what it actually means. One of the worst things you can do during training a dog is always to send mixed signals, because each dog gets confused, it might be very hard to train her or him.
Further keys to successful proper dog training
On top of these, you may want to undertake further research (online or even in the library) before getting started.
And should your DIY efforts at training your dog fail, you should consider enlisting the assistance of a professional trainer before giving up on the dog altogether.

Issue: Accidents, labour shortages and natural disasters can hinder and halt production from half a world away Shift: Minimize risk by understanding and preparing for three of the most common kinds of supply chain disruptions
Only the most dramatic supply chain disruptions — flooding in Thailand, a tsunami in Japan or a deadly iPad factory explosion — tend to warrant global attention. Yet unexpected damage or delays to a company's supply chain are so common that when Zurich Financial Services Ltd. teamed up with the Manchester Business School to build a database of major disruptions, they found more than 2,500 such events have occurred around the world since 2000, with "a significant number" lasting more than a year. Many of these disruptions could be avoided if companies took a broader view of their supply chains and had "contingency inventory" on hand, or what Linda Conrad, director of strategic business risk for Zurich's North American division, would call moving from a "just in time" to a "just in case" inventory strategy. Below, Financial Post technology reporter Jameson Berkow looks at other ways to deal with three of the most common supply chain disruptions enterprises typically face.
Safety is always a primary concern for any firm involved in manufacturing. Still, accidents are "relatively common," says Robert Tousignant, a partner in the Montreal office of Ernst & Young LLP in charge of supply chain advisory services. The vast majority never cause a serious disruption, he explained, as only the rare catastrophe will keep production offline for more than a few hours. "But sometimes it is not the accident per se that is having an impact on your supply," Mr. Tousignant said. "Rather, it is your ability to divert your supply chain through another vein while you recover." To have a guaranteed backup, businesses need to look all the way down their supply chain, explains Ms. Conrad. "Companies tend to look at just their direct suppliers," she said. "But many disruptions, the majority of them actually, are caused by tier two or tier three — [i.e.,] the suppliers of your suppliers." So, for example, if the factory providing the bolts to your supplier burns down, the way to minimize the fallout is to have a backup bolt supplier ready replace that link in the chain on a moment's notice.
Natural Disasters
No one can infallibly predict where the next earthquake will strike, or which factory will be consumed in a forest fire. But that is no excuse for apathy towards potential threats, argues Mr. Tousignant. "Often what is the biggest disruption is more the element of surprise from the disruption rather than the disruption itself," he said. Measuring the potential impact of such disasters versus the probability of their occurrence will go a long way towards keeping a supply chain stable. The most dramatic and widespread examples of supply chain disruptions, Ms. Conrad suggests, often lead to other types of disruptions. "In Thailand, the actual disruption is a flood. But all those companies are now scrambling to find other sources of inventory, with competitors going to the same backup supplier[s] who are in turn having 'conflicts of interest,' shall we say, about who they're going to share their spare capacity with, which then causes labour issues as they'll have trouble trying to staff those extra shifts," she explained. "It is interesting how these sort of ripple effects can spread through a supply chain so fast."
Labour Availability
Easy access to labour force trends and related statistics might lead one to think labour availability is by far the easiest supply chain disruption to predict and prepare for. Canada, for example, is expected to face a severe shortfall in skilled I.T. labour within five years and companies are already adjusting their recruitment policies to cope. "But in the global world of supply," asks Ms. Conrad, "how would you have any control over whether or not you can get folks to work in Chile or Indonesia?" Being unaware of the cultural realities of your suppliers' home countries, she said, can often wreak havoc on supply chain planning. "On Chinese New Year, for example, about half the [Chinese] workforce returns to their home towns for a few weeks and about 50% of them do not go back to their jobs," Ms. Conrad explained. "So if I had a supplier in China, I might want to know about that fact and ask them a few months in advance of Chinese New Year if they started training new staff so they don't have down time."

This video would put all the speculation to rest. What is being hidden?
Until this video is released the official story stinks. Maybe a plane but not a 767.

Bck when this happened, there were pictures of the outside, showing firemen at the scene, there was no large debris seen, and looking at the entrance hole, it doesnt appear that the Large wings hit the wall, with a impact you would expect to see. Look up the stats on a 767, and it becomes vaguely clear that if a plane that large and high hit the pentegon, there should be some large pieces left.
I think we again have been hoodwinked, and truly, we shall never really know the truth.
Yeah, it took them a couple hours to drive up the trucks to start distributing the debris.
Geezus man. Pull your head out of your ass. We KNOW what hit the Pentagon. A whole # load of people saw it. The debris field shows it. The light poles show it. The missing plane shows it. The missing people show it, the pictures in the building show it and the friggin Terrorists BOASTED about it. Khalid Sheik Mohammad BOASTED about this attack!!!! GEEZUS man, how much more evidence do you need? Time Travel so you can watch it yourself?
Gads, we KNOW what happened. A fanatical arab group flew a plane into the Pentagon. PROVE otherwise, until you can, keep your trap shut. All the evidence is against anything OTHER than that conclusion.

how can some painted scrap metal land without a burn mark OUTSIDE the pentagon, yet there's nothing identifiying INSIDE the pentagon.
A plane that big, going the fast would of sent a large section of the OUTSIDE INTO THe pentagon along with hte plane,

By the C|C Whistleblower Lawyer Team
The privatization of public services and its ramifications has been a recent theme in our weekly questions. The pressing issue of police violence has once again brought this critical question to the forefront. A large number of corporate interests have a very serious stake in the matter—manufacturers of guns, police armor, drug tests, and bomb robots all stand to benefit from the tragic killings both of, and by, police officers. As The Verge put it last week, "In a week of police violence, Wall Street won."
One particular company has profited above all. The market for body cameras is exploding, as the public demands increased accountability for police officers. And Taser International, the company best known for their stun guns, has quietly managed to corner the market.
Various investigations have uncovered numerous perks and incentives offered by Taser to police chiefs to get them this market share. Chiefs are hired as consultants, sent around the world to luxury hotels for speeches and events. Taser also appears to be openly encouraging a revolving door—the same people deciding on no-bid contracts with Taser are then hired at the company months later. These tactics seem to be working, as police departments appear to be going out of their way to give Taser their business. Marketplace recently quoted a Philadelphia Police Department procurement memo that justified a no-bid contract with Taser by simply claiming that a competitive bidding process would take too long.
This tightknit relationship with police departments is starting to raise eyebrows. Compounding this concern, Taser also controls all police footage that is recorded on their cameras and uploaded to their website, evidence.com. As this important documentation continues to play a role in the national conversation about policing and violence, Taser's near-stranglehold over the evidence has some people, like San Francisco's Public Defender Jeff Adachi, nervous. "Taser is a company that essentially markets to law enforcement. If you look at their website, they say, 'We make things that put bad guys in jail,'" Mr. Adachi told Reveal News last year. "It's one thing to sell Tasers to law enforcement, and you can see why they'd market it that way. Quite something different if they're talking about collecting evidence that's going to be used in a criminal case. If you're going to be partisan and only help one side, how is that going to affect the fairness of the criminal justice system?"
What do you think?

Column Number: 141
Mr. James Clappison (Hertsmere): I beg to move amendment No. 26, in page 4, line 4, leave out 'except in prescribed circumstances'.
We now come to the question of aggregating the income and capital of couples for the purpose of determining entitlement to the pension credit. Generally speaking, joint assessment of couples and the way in which that compares with the principle of separate assessment under taxation has been one of the features of tax credits commented on in many quarters. That principle of joint assessment applies equally to other forms of tax credit: the working tax credit, and now the child tax credit. As many people have said, that cuts across the principle of independent taxation. However, it is in the Bill and we must consider it.
Under clause 5, any income or capital of the claimant's partner, whether they are married or not, is treated as the income or capital of the claimant for the purposes of the pension credit income assessment. The only exceptions to that rule are circumstances that are to be prescribed in regulations. The amendment is probing, and will explore what such circumstances might be, if the Minister can throw any light on that. We note that the explanatory notes cite two examples of circumstances where joint assessment would not take place that may be prescribed in regulations. The examples are:
In such circumstances, it seems intuitively right that income or capital should not fall into the assessment for pension credit purposes. Indeed, it seems inconceivable that it should do so. The person concerned—the claimant or the partner—is not receiving any benefit from that, and is acting under a duty when dealing with it. The examples seem to imply that where the person concerned is under a duty to deal with income or capital for the benefit of a third party, and receives no benefit himself, that will not be taken into account. However, the underlying principles are not exactly spelt out, and it would be useful to hear something from the Minister on that.
Mr. Tim Boswell (Daventry): It seems to me, and my hon. Friend will know this from his legal experience, that where examples are cited in legislation—I appreciate that the explanatory notes do not have the force of legislation—there is a danger
Column Number: 142
Mr. Clappison: What my hon. Friend says is helpful and lends strength to my contention that there is a need for the principles to be spelt out. It is all very well having examples, but we need to find out what other circumstances might be covered. It is more helpful to have the principles spelt out than to be given examples only. We are leaving those to be prescribed by regulations but, examining the final provisions of the Bill concerning regulation-making powers, I notice that the regulations made under the clause do not seem to be subject to the affirmative procedure, so we shall be left with the negative procedure for them. Against that background, it would help if the Minister could tell us something about that this morning so that we may debate it as fully as possible. We need to explore it.
The Minister for Pensions (Mr. Ian McCartney): I apologise to the Committee because the Under-Secretary, my hon. Friend the Member for Liverpool, Garston (Maria Eagle), is participating in a Westminster Hall debate this morning. I think that the hon. Member for Daventry (Mr. Boswell) will also be there later, so this Committee will be without intellectual input this morning. We shall have to muddle on until my hon. Friend and the hon. Gentleman return later. I do not know whether the hon. Member for Northavon (Mr. Webb) is also going to that debate.
Clause 5 replicates the provision in section 136 of the Social Security Contributions and Benefits Act 1992. It is desirable for consistency reasons for the provision to be carried through to clause 5, but I would not expect hon. Members simply to accept that in Committee, sit down and say, ''There you are—it's for consistency''. The amendment, if it were accepted, would remove a flexibility to make beneficial changes without the time-consuming process of amending primary legislation. I do not think that that is reasonable.
I shall say a few words about the debate that occurred in another place on the treatment of couples, to put the amendment in context, as the hon. Member for Hertsmere (Mr. Clappison) requested. Much interest was shown in the other place in the composition of family units and how the pension credit should treat single people, married and unmarried couples and those in polygamous marriages. Couples are treated differently for contributory benefits such as the retirement pension where entitlement is based on lawful marriage. That stems from the national insurance scheme in which, usually, the husband was the contributor and benefits included provision for dependents.
The position is different for income-related benefits, but the issue is not whether a couple are living in or out of wedlock but whether a man and woman form a common household. Where a couple form a common household, it is right that the help that they get takes account of shared costs, such as heating costs. It is a
Column Number: 143
When a decision-making officer is satisfied that a couple are not living together as husband and wife, separate benefit claims can be made. Rates for couples are lower than twice the single rate. Some 30 per cent. of the households that will benefit from the pension credit will be couples, and 70 per cent. will be single people, of whom more than three quarters will be single women. Clause 5 is important in the calculation of pension credit and without it we would be unable to calculate fairly either the guarantee credit or the savings credit for couples. Single pensioners and couples are entitled to pension credit. It is only right that couples' entitlement should be based on the income and capital of both claimant and partner.
The concept of household membership is an important and long-standing one in social security generally and is especially important in income-related benefits. In seeking to be fair to all, we need to ensure equity of treatment for pensioners, whether single or members of a couple. That is why clause 5 ensures that any income or capital of the partner is aggregated with that of the claimant. That allows us to consider a couple's joint income and capital when calculating the guarantee credit and the savings credit. That arrangement has been introduced from the income support system with the advice of parliamentary counsel.
Amendment No. 26 would remove the regulatory power to provide exceptions to the principle of aggregation. We will accept the proposal simply to allow us to debate the issue. The hon. Members for Daventry and for Hertsmere alluded to the examples in the explanatory notes. They are explanatory, and there is no need for further clarification.
The hon. Member for Daventry was right, and I shall use a phrase that means exactly the same as what he said to his colleague, the hon. Member for Hertsmere—it is a belt-and-braces regulatory power. The hon. Member for Daventry, in his discourse with his colleague, asked whether there was any specific reason for it and whether it could be used in future years, if issues arose. There are no plans to put forward regulations using the power. If we were to use the power at some time in the future, the effect of not aggregating a couple's income or capital is that we would totally disregard the income or capital of the claimant's partner. That can only be an advantage to them.
Mr. Clappison: Will the Minister give way?
Column Number: 144
Mr. McCartney: May I finish this point first, so as not to disturb my train of thought so early in the morning?
To assist in the explanation, I shall provide a potential example. The word ''potential'' is underlined three times. The power could be used if we wanted to encourage a pensioner's younger partner—someone of working age who may be looking for employment—back into the labour market. It may be appropriate in such a case to disaggregate the couple's income so that we could ignore that for earnings purposes.
Mr. Clappison: I am grateful to the Minister for giving way. There is nothing wrong at all with his train of thought this morning—it is on time. However, may I take him back to what he said a moment ago about the Government not having any intention to use the regulation-making power? What would happen in the circumstances that are foreseen in the explanatory notes, which I spelled out in my opening remarks, in which a partner receives income from a trust but does not receive any benefit from it?

One PC Multiple Clients System - URGENTLY REQD.
Ngân sách $100-300 USD
We need a software that will enable more than 1 user to share the computing power of 1 PC independently, i.e., the host PC will have the software running and additional stations can be added via VGA display card for monitors and a PS/2 USB adaptor for additional mouses and keyboards. The software should work on win 98, Win Mellenium, Win 2000 and Win XP platform.
Each workstation should be enabled to work independently, can access open and save files, run applications (even same applications also like MS-Word, etc), surf the internet independently at the same time, with no perceptible performance degradation. The main station will be the administrator to set number users and its priviledges. It will also have the right to boot and shut down the client systems.
We will upload the software in our website from where it will be sold. The system should have a demo version to download that users can try for 15 days for 1 user, after that it will be expired and the user will be asked to register it online. The number of users to use this system will be the number licenses bought, which can be upgraded later.
We also need it to be anti-piracy protected so that no illegal copy of this system can be made. That means once it is downloaded, it cannot be downloaded again in the same PC. For example, it can either be done by reading the physical number of the hard disk where it is downloaded once or the MAC address of the computer, and send that for registration.
This is an initial project, which is very urgently required and the best service provider chosen will get higher priority for our main project, which will be posted soon after this.

The challenge for package goods firms, the study noted, is to be more relevant to customers, since fewer than 10% said e-mails they have received were valuable.
The findings show that although 69% of consumers want e-mail from marketers, only 34% of consumer package goods companies are currently conducting e-mail campaigns. Half of the companies surveyed said they plan to ramp up their e-mail marketing efforts in the next year.
Consumers reported that they preferred e-mail promotions with tangible benefits such as coupons or recipes instead of customer testimonials.

Multiple sources confirm that fan favorite Daniel Gillies will reprise his beloved role of Elijah on both the April 25 backdoor pilot for The Originals AND the series itself, with Deadline reporting Gillies will be a regular cast member if the show is picked up for the fall.
The spinoff will find Klaus back in New Orleans and dealing with his diabolical protege, an uncast vampire named Marcel. Look for Elijah to side with Marcel's enemies in an attempt to keep Klaus in line and maybe even find redemption for his brother.
Phoebe Tonkin has also been confirmed for the series as Hayley, while The CW is casting for Camille, a human psychology student who will take an interest in Klaus as she tries to determine the basis for evil.
So... are now more excited for The Vampire Diaries spinoff? Will you watch it?

Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) August 20, 2014
IPsmarx Technology, Inc., an award-winning technology solutions provider to VoIP and prepaid services providers, SMBs, and enterprise-class clients, today announced at the Prepaid Press Expo in Las Vegas, NV, the launch of IPsmarx Professional Services in response to the challenges faced by organizations looking for innovative, value-added telecommunications solutions.
The launch of IPsmarx Professional Services is particularly timely given a recent survey by InformationWeek revealing that a lack of in-house expertise is one of the primary barriers to implementing unified communications solutions.

These solutions include customized IVR menus, smartphone mobile VoIP applications, network migration and optimization, and integration with third-party systems.
The expertise of the IPsmarx Professional Services team is not limited to prepaid and VoIP services providers. Fernando Alfaro, IPsmarx's Senior Marketing Manager, notes that any organization requiring customized solutions to either solve a business operations problem or generate new revenue can benefit: "Our customers, whether VoIP and prepaid service providers or businesses from a wide range of industries and markets, rely on our professional expertise to identify the problem—or opportunity—and define and implement the best solution. For example, we recently revitalized the international calling service for a customer in the hospitality industry as an innovative new amenity that generated new revenues while leveraging the existing infrastructure and adding smartphone applications to the mix."

Mommy tweets: JWoww's plastic surgery pic, plus Ali Larter's baby Vivienne
We rounded up the most buzz-worthy celebrity moms on social media this week, starting with Jersey Shore's JWoww, who shared a photo of her new 34F breast implants just six months after the birth of her daughter. Also on our radar? Ali Larter shares a first photo of her adorable daughter Vivienne. Rachel Zoe, Drew Barrymore and Kim Kardashian round out our list of the most social media savvy celebrity moms.
Jersey Shore alum Jenni "JWoww" Farley shared a picture of her post-baby plastic surgery in this "waist training" snapshot and explained on her website why she had her breast implants switched out in a post on her website she called, "My Ten Year Boob Makeover." JWoww had her first child, a daughter named Meilani, six months ago.
"A lot of you have been asking about my most recent boob job after seeing my waist training pic and I wanted to tell you more about it. I got my first one ten years ago after being inspired by my girl crush Carmen Electra– she had the most amazing boobs I had ever seen and I had to get them!" she wrote, giving props to her "boob man" surgeon, Stephen T. Greenberg.
"I went up to a 34F and couldn't be happier! But ten years later and with the birth of my angel baby Meilani, they had changed a bit, especially with breastfeeding!" she continued.
"You know, they recommend changing them every 10 years and I've had them for over 10 years, so it was time! Now they are nice and bouncy!!! I kept them the same size, so they are still Fs. I just switched them out from breast-feeding! They are so amazing right now and still have a soft, natural look to them thanks to my amazing doctor," she wrote.
The 28-year-old mom went on to say that she and her fiancé, Roger Mathews, are trying for another baby soon and she plans on getting them swapped out yet again after breastfeeding her second child.
"I'll get another one in a few years after I have my next baby. YES, I said it! I want another baby and that's why I wanted to get them done now before we try again and before our wedding too! I'm so excited for these big moments to happen in our lives and 2015 is definitely our year! Plus baby Meilani needs a younger sister or bother to play with… or boss around," she wrote.
Ali Larter
Ali Larter shared the first picture of her newborn baby girl, Vivienne Margaret MacArthur, on her Instagram page.
"Beautiful day with my beautiful girl. #happymonday," she captioned the sweet photo, which shows her looking down at her sleeping baby. What a cutie.
The 38-year-old actress and her husband, Hayes MacArthur, also have a 4-year-old son named Theodore.
The new mom tweeted how much baby weight she had gained and her plans to get back in shape.
Rachel Zoe
Celebrity stylist Rachel Zoe shared this colorful painting of her two sons, 4-year-old Skyler and 1-year-old Kaius, as she sits with the smiling artists.
Zoe recently told the LA Times how being a stylist is a lot like being a mom.
"Being a stylist is a lot like being a parent. You need to be patient. You need to step back and understand what's being communicated — whether you're dealing with a celebrity, a private client or a child," she said.
Drew Barrymore
So adorable. Actress Drew Barrymore shared this sweet snapshot on her Instagram page of her kissing her 9-month-old daughter Frankie. The mom and Flower Beauty founder also has a 2-year-old daughter named Olive. The 39-year-old mom recently spoke out on the perks of owning her beauty line versus the hectic scheduling of acting in movies.
"I love the beauty industry because even on a workday I can wake up with my kids, go to work, come home, bedtime — there's a normal life there," she said.
Kourtney and Kim Kardashian
Kourtney Kardashian posted this adorable snapshot of her daughter Penelope in dance class. "Tap shuffle step," she captioned the photo, which shows the tot wearing a black ruffled skirt and tap shoes.
Not to be outdone, her sister Kim Kardashian posted a photo getting a "quick glam and snuggle" before an event with her daughter North West.
Cute picture, Kim K. — although Gisele did it first:

There are several reasons people put in the time to totally bring back 1969 ford mach mustangs for automobile shows and individual pleasure. One of the main reasons individuals invest so much time, energy, and cash restoring 1969 ford mach mustangs is the power that is included in that specific mustang model. The engine upgrades that were offered during the launch of the 1969 ford mach mustang for sale in Albion PA transformed the mach mustang from the average household car into a racing lovers dream.
Production of the Mustang began in Dearborn, Michigan on March 9, 1964 and the vehicle was introduced to the public on April 17, 1964 at the New York World's Fair. It is Ford's 3rd oldest nameplate currently in production. After it was seen on television and in print it was wanted by every blue blooded American. Everyone wanted to be the first to buy A mustang in Albion PA.Initial sales projections predicted less than 100,000 devices for the very first year. This mark was exceeded in three months from rollout. Another 318,000 would be sold during the design year (a record), and in its first eighteen months, more than one million Mustangs were developed.
Buy Vintage Ford Mustangs
All of these were VIN-identified as 1965 designs, but several modifications were made at the conventional opening of the brand-new model year (beginning August 1964), consisting of the addition of back-up lights on some models, the intro of alternators to change generators, and an upgrade of the V8 engine from 260 cu in to 289 cu in. In the case of at least some six-cylinder Mustangs fitted with the 101 hp 170 cu in Falcon engine, the rush into production included some uncommon quirks, such as a horn ring bearing the 'Ford Falcon' logo design underneath a trim ring emblazoned with 'Ford Mustang.' These qualities made adequate difference to warrant designation of the 121,538 earlier ones as "1964 1/2" model-year Mustangs, a distinction that has endured with perfectionists. Mustangs For Sale in Albion PA are easy to find now with online shopping.
The 1973 OPEC oil embargo brought with it more strict contamination laws and the desire for fuel-efficiency. This was likewise the very first time in automotive history that the Big 3 were having to take on imports. The new Mustang II was smaller than the first version but, due to the additional devices required to satisfy new US emission and safety policies, was heavier than the very first model. Efficiency was minimized and in the first year only 385,993 cars were sold.
2nd generation Mustangs for sale in Albion PA were offered between 1974 and 1978 and available in a coupe and hatchback version. 1979 the Mustang was redesigned a third time. This time it was based upon the larger Fox platform and the interior was actually huge enough for four individuals. The trunk was bigger and so was the engine bay. The body styles readily available consisted of a coupe, hatchback and in 1983 a convertible. In 1979 the 3rd generation Mustang acted as an Indianapolis 500 pace car and Ford built 10,478 commemorative reproductions. The 3rd generation Mustangs were produced from 1979 to 1982.

Lutein Nutritional Sublingual Spray is a liposomal spray that contains high levels of the key carotenoids Lutein and Zeaxanthin, together with 22 vitamin and minerals identified in a major study as being essential for eye health. They have been shown to protect the retina against sunlight and oxidative damage by free radicals, strengthen the blood vessels and improve blood flow to the eye. Sprayed under the tongue, it is the most effective way to deliver these nutrients to the eye in a few minutes.
Recommended dosage: 4 sprays 3 times per day for the first 3 bottles then reduce to 2 sprays 3 times per day.

Recommended dosage: 1-3 drops per day as needed.em>
MicroCurrent Stimulation uses a gentle cotton bud probe to safely apply a tiny electrical impulse to the acupressure points around the eyes. Stimulates ATP and cellular regeneration and has been shown in studies to improve the overall success.
Recommended use: Stimulate appropriate MicroCurrent points. Treatments per day for the first 2-4 weeks, and once per day thereafter.
Essential Fatty Acids (EFA) in liquid form must contain at least 480 mg of DHA and 720 mg of EPA per teaspoon. This helps improve circulation, integrity of blood vessels, brain function, flexibility,and permeability of cell membranes. It also helps protect the retina's photoreceptor cells.
Recommended dosage: 2 teaspoons per day.
Essential Vision Tone Herb Formula includes a combination of Western and Chinese herbs to strengthen the eyes.
Recommended dosage: <em½ dropper full 2 times per day on an empty stomach. Do not take as eye drops.

Recommended dosage: 1-3 drops per day as needed.
MSM Eye Drops are recommended for all eye conditions and are an inexpensive self treatment.

It what should go down as the least surprising story of the day, ESPN's Outside the Lines has obtained what is a smoking gun showing disgraced former Major League Pete Rose bet on baseball while as a player.
Most disturbingly, he bet "extensively" in games he played in.However, there is no evidence that he ever bet against his own team either as a player or a manager.While many touts brag about betting large amounts on sporting events (a laughable marketing ploy argument blown out of the water by pros), Rose is proof that large bets are often square bets, once losing more than $15,000 in a single day during March Madness.Most baseball fans are oblivious to the fact that re-instatement of Rose would mean his election to the Hall-of-Fame. These are two separate subjects.
It was the belief of OffshoreInsiders.com that Rose would likely be re-instated to Major League Baseball posthumously, but would never come close to election to Cooperstown.Rose would only be eligible for enshrinement by the Veterans Committee, most members are considered adversarial to the all-time hits leader's inclusion.
It is now the belief of OffshoreInsiders.com that the latest news will prove irrevocable and ensure Rose's permanent banishment.We look forward to opinion polls likely to come out soon to see how many Pete Rose apologists remain hard-core.

GUY CANDY: Lee Seo Jin gets classy in Cosmo
There are very few actors who can look classy while sitting on a toilet, but Lee Seo Jin is one of them. Of course the actor has shown in the past that he can look good in just about any situation, so his recent photo shoot in Cosmopolitan should really come as no surprise. The Phoenix actor has been busy lately as he is set to star in the KBS show, Very Good Times, which is scheduled to be released this year.
In his photo shoot for the magazine, the handsome actor poses in several classy and dapper outfits, proving that he can sport both relaxed and elegant clothes with effortless ease. Sometimes, that even includes wearing a tuxedo on a toilet and still managing to look good.
Rocking retro Gucci clothes to perfection!
Classy Calvin Klein coat and Lanvin pants.
Just like James Bond but on a toilet! Looking great!

International Curators Forum in partnership with University of the Arts London with the support of the Arts Council England Elevate Fund present Beyond the Frame, a 22-month long project designed to deliver mentoring and professional development to ten emerging UK based curators through cross-generational exchange with ten selected mentors. The project aims to tackle the under-representation of curators from diverse backgrounds in senior positions in the visual and performing arts. The participants were selected as the result of an open call and will work closely with ICF Director David A. Bailey and curator Jessica Taylor over the length of the project, during which they will have the opportunity to take part in group masterclasses and one-on-one mentoring sessions. The curators will also be invited to travel with the ICF team to international conferences and major events in the arts calendar, such as the opening weeks of the Sharjah Biennial, the Venice Biennale and Prospect New Orleans. The participants will be encouraged to discuss topics and issues related to the field of curating in the group forum and masterclasses, and they will undertake projects in the UK in partnership with UAL, New Art Exchange, InIVA and the Liverpool Biennial. Beyond the Frame will culminate in a public conference on diversity in the arts in the UK in which the experiences and results of this initiative will be discussed.
