STAKEHOLDERS in Governor Adams Oshiomhole primary constituency in Etsako west local government area of Edo state have accused his government of giving preferential treatment in terms of infrastructural development projects to his section in the locality.
The All Peoples' Congress, APC, member representing the constituency at the state assembly, Hon Abdulrazak Momoh who disclosed this in a
governor has since assuming office in 2008, systematically and cleverly supervised the diversion of funds meant for developing his constituency without any explanation.
"Etsako west is one local government with two constituencies, I and II. Auchi which is Constituency I is the headquarters of the local government; the headquarters of the Etsako federal constituency and the headquarters of Edo North senatorial district. There is a deliberate attempt to relegate constituency one to the background with marginalisation and oppression in terms of infrastructural development."
He said Auchi community or Etsako West I state constituency in Edo North Senatorial district, twice in 2009 and 2011, got the sum of N2.9billion and N1.5billion respectively in the state budget to deal with the menace of ecological disaster; but the governor who has gained commendation for his infrastructural strides diverted the funds to road construction in Uzairue; the governor's immediate constituency.
Momoh added that this development is disturbing as Auchi is worst hit in terms of ecological disasters in Edo, and whereas the state government says erosion is an ecological disaster and is the burden of the Federal Government, it went to the capital market, took a loan and has spent the sum of N20billion on erosion control in Benin City, the state capital.
Informed that the state government claims to have focused on roads as it is the major problem of the locality, the lawmaker who lampooned such an explanation said, "Auchi did not benefit from the roads," because the funds were expended on roads in constituency II.
He said in fiscal 2013, out of the seven roads in constituency I, for which N1.3billion was budgeted, the government only agreed to complete
the N700million Iyeke-Ayuele road while the 12 roads in Uzairue for which N2.1billion was budgeted, the same government has completed all.
The affected roads abandoned in constituency I, Momoh said are old Ewu-Agbede road (N50million), Jagbe- Agbede-Awain road (N200million), Etsako West roads (N50million), Iyereku-Emana-Eko-Ubiane-Aghiere- Ughiole roads (N20million), Auchi- Warrake road(N700million) and the Warrake-Egono road (N50million).
For constituency II, he listed completed roads as Atte-Iyuku (N300million), Ayogwiri-Okpella (N800million), Jattu-Ayogwiri (50million), Jattu-Ayuara (N100million), Jattu- Ogieneni (N50million), Ijio-Jattu-Auchi (N800million), Iyanmho-Iyora (N500million), Ogbido-Ayoghena (N100million), Apana – Iraokho (N50million) Ikholor –Ogbido (N100million) and Afowa- Elele (N10million).
"You can see the kind of oppression Auchi is facing. Even the dualisation of the 6km N800million Ijio-Jattu- Auchi Polytechnic road has 5km in Uzairue and 1km Auchi, while the 5km Auchi-Ugheole-Ayuele road has 1.5km in Auchi and 3.5km in Uzairue".
He said repeated pilgrimages by traditional rulers from constituency I to the governor's office in Benin City and his country palace at Iyamho has been in vain adding that it is worrisome since the governor promised during the last gubernatorial campaigns, as he could not access many communities by road used helicopters and promised to reverse the trend.
However, reacting to the lawmaker's submission, a media aide to the governor, Mr. Kassim Afegbua said, the "governor did not select or discriminate against any local government or constituency in the provision of social amenities," adding that, "the governor takes all parts of the state as his own constituency."

Miss E had an amazing meet and finished the season really strong. Like I've said all season, I'm so very proud of my daughter. She has a goal and she is fighting for it. She dug deep and came out on top. I'm so excited to see what is next for her.
Miss E started the meet off a little bit shaky. As she was warming up for Beam, she fell off. She shook it off though and finished the meet on the Bars. She got her highest score for the season on the Bars and that pushed her to 1st place All Around. She was shocked!!
The meet was June 4, on Friday June 17 it was announced that she will begin practicing with the Level 4s. WOO HOO!!!

When you experiment, you'll begin to see this outcome. It only takes a small little bit of E-Flavors Neat to make an enormous difference in your system, for instance.
Gloves - Due to the fact nicotine may be absorbed throughout the skin, and perhaps the most beneficial of us spills what we're dealing with from time to time, gloves are going to be essential to have if you are Performing. NicVape provides nitrile gloves that happen to be powder totally free to prevent contamination of the liquid, and chemical resistant to keep you Protected.
Exchange the cap on to the bottle and Permit it sit for two times undisturbed in the same setting. Keep repeating the action two and three until eventually the thing is a colour modify and are content that you've arrived at a superb taste. Bear in mind at least 5 times will provide you with great final results even so you'll be able to go so long as you wish to for an better still flavor.
If you feel that the taste is simply too chemical like, then Enable it air out for any couple several hours. That is admittedly all There may be to steeping.
Action 6. We have to add the diluent/foundation to accomplish our liquid. Mainly because our eLiquid already has lots of PG in the nicotine and flavoring, we'll just use VG.
two. E-Liquid Flavorings: You'll want to have Food items Quality, substantial temperature resistance and water soluble flavorings as we provide in this article. Other flavorings that have only space temperature resistance and is made up of both oil or sugars is probably not suitable for using tobacco in a personal vaporizer.
Testing – After your e-juice has steeped, it's time to check it out. It's finest to utilize a good quality dripper or rebuildable atomizer rather then a tank. This will save squandering coils on perhaps substandard e-juice and easy rewicking makes sampling diverse juices quicker.
Nicotine – It's crucial to acquire good quality nicotine. It degrades rapidly when exposed to air, darkening in colour and taking over a peppery taste, so make confident your sealed nicotine is obvious. It will depend on your chosen nicotine stage but a 100 mL bottle of 72 mg/ mL nicotine need to be enough for novices. Nicotine is frequently suspended in a PG Option, so bear in mind this will impact the PG/VG ratio of the juice.
Search throughout the recipes listing and uncover those that appeal to your palette. Are you presently a fruit male? Or do you do have a choice for tobacco flavors? Possibly you prefer bakery flavors one of the most? Browse as a result of and shortlist lots of recipes, making sure which you read the opinions on all of these.
Wotofo is persistently hitting it out from the park with their Serpent line of tanks. Beginning with the first Serpent RTA (which still stays while in the top 3 of my taste chasers record) for the Ser…
It is the recipe section that is hard but there are numerous resources that can simplicity that stress for yourself.
With e-liquid, This can be referred to as steeping. Steeping is the process over time the place chemical reactions take place involving the substances along with the oxygen from the air. This allows the flavors Mix together, and a little bit time may possibly make an enormous distinction depending upon the flavors and taste combos you employ. A lot of e-Liquids will begin to flavor much better if they are allowed to steep for days as well as months.
Right this moment I'm peach eco-friendly tea'd out for just a little bit. I will have to make other matters and return to peach tea in each week or so..I choose to make a espresso with FA espresso, and a few dry tobaccos...cigerete, cigar and pipe, and perhaps 1 or 2 good island design and style tobacco it's possible with coconut, rum, fruit, or at least one thing along All those strains.
This not an extensive record, even so much more the favored alternatives for Do-it-yourself e-liquid makers. Yet another point to notice is the fact not all flavours flavor common throughout Each and every suppliers lines. A strawberry flavor from a single maker can style radically distinctive to a different maker.
In truth, a change in colour is a sign of one's juice getting correctly steeped. In terms of steeping there's nothing absolute. For greater steeping, you require two points: endurance and experimentation. The procedure is long and monotonous, but the result is well worth the wait around.
LorAnn would be the oldest brand name, but just about every corporation has its strengths and weaknesses, and perhaps general quirks or specialties. If you simply need to see which models carry which flavors, they're structured here.
If you can obtain your palms on large bore blunt tip needles then rely on them by all signifies, but in my expertise, People are difficult to find.
I want to only choose anything and stay with it and fine tune it. Then I am able to decide on much more flavors out of my box of confusion and rinse and repeat.
Retaining all the talk of the ban on vaping in India apart, the biggest basis for making your e-juice is the expense issue. This is often far more crucial for people of us who run Superior setups (claptons, twisted coils etcetera.) at sub-ohm levels that only guzzle juice.
Thanks for this thread, I happen to be only DIY'n to get a handful of weeks now, seeking to take in all the info I'm able to.
Step 5. The advisable dilution for E-Flavors is approximately 10%, so if we've been producing 50mLs I'll require 5mL. Utilizing a distinct (clean) syringe we will evaluate and transfer the taste concentrate to the bottle just as we did the nicotine.
I use syringes. They're able to evaluate out tiny amounts specifically without building a large number. You should buy them online or at a local animal feed retail store.
I do, on the other hand, suggest that you need to take a look at building your individual vaping juice only if you additional reading vape frequently. An occasional vaper it's possible better off with business e liquid as they don't use it routinely.
So you have got selected the recipes, got each of the materials and now you're sitting down over the table about to make your first e-juice. How does one start out?
You should make sure you have got the right substances and instruments for mixing. Whilst the chemistry included is simple and doesn't require blowing just about anything up, you continue to really need to exercise right protection.
An additional superior tip to broaden you mixology skills is usually to ditch the vape boards. get started looking through other article content and boards about cooking and Do-it-yourself matters. I made Dr Fn Pepper from reading through the record of DP and soda syrup message boards. Consider like a chef.
This is certainly key, "I've 2 most loved strawberry flavors.both are certainly distinctive and if I swapped the two they would get rid of the Other folks recipe. they only work mainly because they have a certain style."
For novices, it's most effective to get started with a straightforward recipe or possibly a 1-shot focus. We'll check out getting these in additional element below. Or if you have a great idea for the flavour mix, you are able to jump suitable in. But make sure you make in depth notes so you can tweak future versions.

The following activities I either found online or in the case of the bug counting, in one of my many homeschooling books. The pattern was not for the activity I used it for, but oh well. It was to help fine motor skills by picking bugs out of "grass" with tongs. At this time, the bug counting is much more useful to us. The file folder game with the butterfly colors was a free online game and the bee tracing letters were also a free printable. I definately try to utiliaze free resources, although I do treat myself and the kids to new school books at tax time. I find it helps to flesh out our school experience and keep us from getting bored. Anyway, enjoy!

So as some of you may have noticed, we have had access to Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 this weekend and for the most part it has been an under-whelming experience from start to finish. There have been a couple of minor moments of bliss though. ESPECIALLY if you, like me, have an affinity for that staple of the office prank*
The Humble Office Swivel Chair.
So how does CoD: Black Ops II make best use of office furniture? Well… We've made two HIGHLY SCIENTIFIC experiment videos for you to enjoy and uploaded them to our underused yet awesome YouTube Channel…
Video One: In Which Bouncybhall Finds An Office Chair
Video Two: In Which Bouncybhall Realises That Sometimes More Is More.
So there you go. Maybe not the world's premier use of office chairs in gaming – I think that accolade should still be bestowed upon Kung-Fu Rider – but in a game that feels shallow and uninspired it offered a brief moment of light in amongst a plethora of average and tired gameplay tropes.
* No, not the stapler. Putting a stapler in jelly, or hiding it IS hilarious, but it isn't as practical in terms of the range of pranks available. Also you can't travel down a motorway behind a truck on a stapler.

Generally, my children are well received (yes, even in the grocery stores)...cuz they're cute. Why? DUH , what kinda dumb questions is that...why? Tsk!! Hank, our favorite greeter, is always happy to see us...but the rest of the day was stressful! We really annoyed an older woman in the toothpaste aisle. I didn't even see her...I was going over the rules of the store..."you must be holding the cart at all times. if you are not holding the cart you will be riding in the cart. do you understand?" If looks could kill...I'd at least be badly injured. *sigh*
Going to and from the stores I was seriously tailgated...going into and out of the stores, my little brood and I, were irritatedly waved across the parking lot. Hurry, hurry...rush rush rush. I smile at EVERYONE...it's one of my
So, I brooded about it on the way home. Yes, it did get to me...and I knew that being angry and irritated was only passing on the rotten feeling. I wondered about what Jesus would do...and of course, you know my penchant for what DID Jesus do...so...here's what I think. I think, it would have made him sad...to see the lost, rushed and weary. They were searching and scurrying and tired and frustrated.
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." Matthew 11:28
Don't get me wrong...I think Jesus called sin SIN...and judged rightly those who were in the WRONG...but well, for one thing...I'm not Jesus (*gasp*) and no one wronged me by their grouchy attitudes. It is SO easy to just catch the grouchy disease...instead of stopping to consider these poor, sad and lost souls. I know the Healer for all their hurts. I'm challenged to ACT LIKE IT...and openly share when I can! So, I'm gonna smile anyway...

Well I can admit that this little Playoff Pool idea was a little more involved than I anticipated. I apologize for all the mistakes I made while trying to do this, but I am over 86.3% sure the final results are accurate.
After a pretty lame postseason if you ask me, only one man came out ahead. He didn't lead the whole time, but as the only person to pick the Red Sox to sweep in the World Series, it gave him enough points to come out on top.
Here is his trophy.

Gun Violence in America and the Tragedy in Tucson
by Weiner
In the aftermath of the horrific murders in Tucson, critics and pundits are rushing to place blame and to find the killer's motives. Some on the Left are blaming Sarah Palin for her use target-laden imagery and violent rhetoric. Conservatives are calling Jared Loughner, the suspected shooter, a "liberal lunatic." Some believe Loughner to be antisemitic.
Frankly, I have no idea what motivated Loughner. But in reaction to this crime, my fellow Canadians who I've spoken to all seem to have the same reaction: "Americans are crazy." Of course they (we) don't mean all Americans, or even most Americans. But America's culture of violence, love affair with guns, and the facility with which one can purchase firearms is downright frightening. I was never a big fan of Michael Moore or his Bowling For Columbine, which painted a stupid and false image of Canada as a nation where people don't lock their doors. And I know violent crime in Toronto especially has been on the rise. But I think Moore was 100% right that America's culture of violence combined with loose gun laws that lead to terrible results. It's not really Americans we Canadians think are crazy, it's America. It's times like these America scares me: the every man for himself, protect yourself at all times and by any means necessary attitude along with easy access to deadly weaponry. The statistics bear this point out: gun violence in America is a national tragedy and shame.
What bothers me most in terms of commentary on the incident is those who miss the point entirely. David Frum blames Loughner's crime on his marijuana use, despite all evidence that suggests the drug war is more harmful than drugs themselves, that most marijuana users tend to be peaceful, that alcohol causes much more damage to our society even though it is (rightly) legal.
Even worse, however, is libertarian Radley Balko, who uses the Tucson shooting to launch another tirade against the very same American war on drugs. Balko is right in everything he says about the drug war, but in the context of Tucson, he's utterly missing the point. Since we don't know Loughner's motives, the only thing we really can comment on is the extent of the tragedy and the horrific nature of gun violence in America.
Balko, of course, is a libertarian, and loves loves loves the American right to bear arms. Balko is right that "we should mourn the people senselessly murdered yesterday, government employees and otherwise: U.S. District Judge John Roll, Dorothy Murray, Dorwin Stoddard, nine-year-old Christina Green, Phyllis Scheck, and Gabe Zimmerman." By focusing his attention on the drug war, however, he diverts attention away from the only cause we know of these people's deaths: America's dangerous level of gun violence. And I'm sure he'll go back to tooting his libertarian horn in favour of looser gun regulations soon enough.

Good post, though I don't know how to solve the issue of gun violence in America. Furthermore, I believe, and correct me if I'm wrong, you chose the term "gun violence" as opposed to, say, "gun control" for a reason.
For example, Mexico applies some of the strictest gun laws in the world, yet the ongoing drug wars in cities like Monterrey & Juarez show that citizens still find access to guns.
I do not mean to equate the killing spree of a mad, delusional American to the Central American drug war, but I think you understand my point: people will find a way.
It might make it more difficult, but I am not certain that we would see a significant decline in gun violence in America, if we were to alter, or even omit, the 2nd Amendment.
In situations like this, I always mourn for those families who suffered losses. Almost to the point of depression. At that point, I usually turn to this to cheer me up.
Can everyone at least agree that a first step is for "federal background checks" to ban sales to people who've been deemed crazy by some authority? That has to be politically feasible even in a country as gun-happy as the United States. There were clear warning signs for both this psycho and the Virginia Tech psycho, but clearly no communication between those who recognized the troubled individuals and those who sell guns. Pima Community College managed to recognize this kid's problems and protect Pima, but Pima's action didn't save Arizona and the United States. That's just despicable. I want to be assured guns are kept out of the hands of such psychos before the country goes any deeper into the gun control debate.
Yes, Canadians do have trouble understanding America's love obsession with guns, but as a montrealer, it's hard to think that this kind of behavior only happens south of the border. For a city of 3 million, we've seen our share of school shootings (polytechnique, concordia and dawson) and I've never once in 29 years met a local who owns a firearm. In fact, it's not hard to look outside of the US to find comparable violence. The UK was home to an atrocious shooting last year, Japan has been marred by random knifings, in schools and otherwise. Yes, lax laws regarding the second amendment have made it easier, and no doubt have led to an increase in violence, but the fact is, crazy people will do crazy shit. The tools can always be found – when there's a will there's a way…
I'm all for gun control, but I doubt it would really provide a satisfying solution to random violence like what we saw in Tucson. You only need to look outside your borders to see examples of this.
I'm not a historian, but I'm also from Montreal and was actually working at Dawson the day of the shooting. But perhaps you historians can trace back the development of idea of the "right to bear arms" (the second amendment, I assume) and figure out why the States went hog-wild with this idea while up here in Canada, it seems to have fizzled for most folks except hunters. I think that our paths when it comes to that issue started parting back in the 18th century and it would interesting to know why. I guess what I'm saying is that this gun-crazy attitude seems to have been going on since the 1770s (please correct me if I'm wrong) and so it's a way of thinking that is historical and self-enforcing since fear breeds more fear and more fear etc.
I'd love to know if there were any influences around that time that made Canada different. Why did our national mental template not foreground guns in the same way.
And of course the big question is why has there been so much gun violence in Montreal when in many ways it's a very safe place…I don't feel afraid walking around at 2 or 3 am and I'm a woman…wouldn't do that in many places south of the border.
Gun control will never be adopted. And the very reason it will not is because the government never applies gun control to its own agents. The government refuses to disarm, despite the killings of its own citizens . This hypocrisy factor, where governments basically say guns for me but not for thee, is sufficient reason why gun control laws are unpopular.
Can everyone at least agree that a first step is for "federal background checks" to ban sales to people who've been deemed crazy by some authority?
Just like we banned alcohol and heroin, right?
The only way to deal with crazies is to lock them up, like what was done with Japanese-Americans in the 1940's. And this is assuming that we can accurately identify the crazies.
[…] other significant thought I have is about non-violent resistance, especially in light of the recent shootings in Tucson. Many Americans worship the Constitution's Second Amendment not just out of a principle of […]

There is no doubt that people are buying insurance policies to cover their health care expenses. When we talk about the different policies then the Medicare insurance policies are also popular. These policies are specially introduced for the people of old age or the disabled ones. If you are buying the Medicare policies then they are not covering all the expenses which are the reason for which you have to pay some expenses from your own pocket. For this, there is also a best alternative available that are Medicare supplemental policies. These policies are addition insurance policies that pay the expenses that are not covered by the regular health insurance policies. With the help of such plans, people can also get lots of advantages and eliminate the various issues.
What's beneficial?
You may all don't know about the fact that there are different Medigap plans available with different kinds of benefits. You can buy it from any insurance company because the plans are standardized but they are charging different cost.

In this way, you can easily find the affordable Medicare supplemental insurance coverage which is also beneficial. You also need to know about the eligibility to apply for such policies. You can enroll in Medigap plans on the first day of age 65. There are many private companies that are offering these plans but they are also charging as according to their own rates.

Amazing Ancestry: Dr. Mary Racelis, Filipino sociologist
Mary Aylett Racelis is a respected sociologist, anthropologist, and research scientist. Of late, she has appeared in public debates and given interviews on Philippine media on her position on the controversial RH Bill. Using publicly available sources, I have tracked her rich, global lineage.
Parents. In her book, "Bearers of Benevolence", Mary Racelis wrote about her Filipino father, RAMON RACELIS who was among the pensionados of the American-run Philippine government in the mid-1920s; and her American mother, ELSIE AYLETT, who was a librarian at the New York Public Library near Columbia University where Racelis matriculated. The couple met, fell in love and married in 1929; and moved to Manila in the same year. All of their children were born and raised in Manila.
Grandparents. (Aylett) I have not found her Filipino grandparents; but there is a wealth of data on her American ancestry from the US Census Records. On the 1920 census, I found the 16-year old Virginia-born Elsie, living with her parents in a house along Garrison Street, Queens, New York. PHILIP AYLETT was born in Virginia, USA in 1868. He a civil engineer for a railroad company. His wife CHRISTINE AYLETT (nee Fernquest) was born in Sweden in 1869. She received her citizenship when the couple married in 1883. Ten years earlier, in 1910, I found them living in 4001A Connecticut Street, St. Louis, Missouri. Philip's occupation was listed as "Civil Engineer, bridge work". By 1912, Philip was listed in the St. Louis City Directors living in the same house — his job "engineer of const Sewer Dept"
Great-Grandparents. (Aylett) In the 1880 census, I found the 13-year old Philip, living with his parents in Aquiton, King William, Virginia. WILLIAM ROANE AYLETT was born in 1833 in Virginia who rose from captain to colonel in the Confederate army during the American Civil War and later, served as commonwealth's attorney. He died in 1900. ALICE AYLETT (nee Brokenborough) was born in 1838 in Virginia. Philip's siblings were Sally, Pattie, Alice, Bettie, William and Patrick. Their household maintained one servant. Similar data appears in the 1870 census. In the 1860 census, ten years earlier, William appears to be living alone — which supports the likelihood that he and Alice got married between 1860 and 1870.
2x Gread-Grandparents. (Aylett) In the 1870 census, I found the 17-year old William R. Aylett, living in King William, Virginia with his siblings and widowed mother, JUDITH PAGE AYLETT (nee Waller). His older brother, Patrick, who was a lawyer, was the head of the family at 25 years old. His younger siblings included Pattie (15) and Rosalie (14). It is interesting to note that the census and the slave schedules listed the children as owning property — the boys each had land worth $10,000, the girls owned land valued at $4,000 each. Patrick owned 14 slaves, William, 10 slaves, Pattie, 11 slaves and Rosalie, 10 slaves. Judith P Aylett is listed as owning a separate 28 slaves — so the family owned 73 slaves, at the least . Judith died in 1850 in May 1860 in King William, Virginia from apoplexy. JOHN PHILIP AYLETT Jr. (1791-1848) served in both the Virginia House and Senate. He had inherited Montville, the ancestral plantation.
3x Great-Grandparents. (Aylett) PHILIP AYLETT Sr. (1767-1831) married ELIZABETH "Betsey" HENRY. Philip Sr. held a general's commission in the war of 1812, and possessed a very large plantation at Montville, on which slaves were employed in the cultivation of cotton, corn and tobacco. Like all of his family, he adhered to the Episcopal church, and was a stanch Democrat in political principle.
4x Great-Grandparents. (Aylett) WILLIAM AYLETT (1743-1781) married MARY MACON (1742-1781) in 1766. William was a vestryman of St. John's parish; a member of the House of Burgesses; a member of the Virginia conventions of 1775-76, and a warm personal friend of General Washington. He resigned his seat in the legislature in 1776 to accept a commission from the American Congress as Deputy Commissary General of the forces in Virginia. ….. (Henry) PATRICK HENRY (1736-1799) married SARAH SHELTON. A Founding Father, Patrick served as the 1st and 6th Governor of Virginia and is best remembered for his "Give me Liberty, or give me Death!" speech.
You can see more of Dr. Racelis' ascendant tree here. Her ancestors include members of the medieval and ancient royal houses of Europe. Ancestors who appear multiple times in various branches are marked with an asterisk (*). She also has several Catholic saints in her direct line.
11x GGPs. SIR RALPH SHELTON (1560-1628) was the 26th Lord of Shelton. He was a ward of Queen Elizabeth I, as he was orphaned early. He was knighted 1607 and a Member of Parliament 1611. He was killed in a battle 2 miles at sea where the Huguenots were under seige by the French Catholics.

Post Script: After I wrote to Dr. Racelis (I found an email address on her on-line resume from a conference) and got no reply, I had thought of reaching out to her in Ateneo. I quickly nixed that idea for being too creepy. Then she found me — sort of. A US article on her referred to my research, so her family has been trying to figure out who I was and how I know what I know. Then it turns out her daughter is my 8yo daughter's softball coach! We are planning to meet this week, so I could show Dr. Racelis my work. I feel like I'm meeting a rock star!

today was the first morning that i had to scrape frost off my window shields. as soon as i approached my car and ran my fingers down my back window and realized it was indeed ice and not condensation i thought, "here we go." i have some interesting winter-related car ordeals. the best from last winter was getting a car wash on a mild day, my doors freezing shut over night (this has happened a previous winter as well. if i mention any time between now and march that i am going to get a car wash, feel free to kindly discourage me not to), and not being able to open either of my two car doors. there are only so many options you have in situations such as these. i was finally able to pry the trunk open and crawled into the trunk and through the backseat wearing a skirt and the boots i was wearing yesterday. you know, when it's winter in minnesota you do what you have to do. after this morning i'm realizing... winter is calling.

Enzai Falsely Accused is a Japanese yaoi game which is very dark in nature and was the first Japanese BL game to be released in English. I don't know if all Japanese gay hentai games are dark or whether it's just poor choice on my part as it was a little too dark for my taste!
The main character in Enzai Falsely Accused is Guys who is a strong willed young man just 18 years old who lives in Napoleonic France and hates to lose.
Guys is taken to the police for theft after he was caught stealing from a shop. Whilst with the police he is falsely accused of the murder of a man he doesn't even know.
He ends up in a dark, dank prison thanks to an inept and drunk lawyer and police corruption. He is destined to spend a life in prison ruled by violence, torture and fear. He is forced to endure beatings and all manner of sexual abuse and rape despite him continuing to profess his innocence.
If, like me, you don't like gay hentai games of a dark nature then Enzai Falsely Accused will not be for you, I would not have continued with it if I were not doing this review. There seems to be no way of escaping the atrocities that befall Guys. Despite the multiple paths through the game and different endings, all those I followed left Guys being raped again and again so be warned.
Whilst in Prison he meets Durer who is a 30 year old sadistic prison guard that takes great delight in bringing pain and suffering to the prisoners.
Many of the characters within the game have different endings, I did not play long enough to discover them all but suffice to say some are good and some not so. I think it will take you a while to complete the game via all paths and so I believe it offers pretty good value for money.
Always save the game before you are asked a question and then you will be able to load from that point to explore a different route, rather than replaying the whole thing. If looking for different endings try searching the internet for Enzai walkthrough.

With no time to lose, the Havana Provincial Defense Council , met yesterday, September 8, to review the implementation of plans to confront the effects of Hurricane Irma in this part of the country, as coastal flooding is imminent and strong winds and rain are forecast.
After hearing the latest meteorological report, measures emphasized included
clearing storm sewers, pruning trees, monitoring rivers and streams, increasing public information, and assuring food supplies.
In terms of this last item, Party Political Bureau member and president of the Havana Provincial Defense Council, Mercedes López Acea, noted that although supplies are not meeting demand, some 15 to 18 products are available in produce markets and work is underway to secure 550 tons of food in warehouses, to assure stocks during the recovery period.
During the meeting - also attended by Political Bureau member, Minister of the Revolutionary Armed Forces, Army Corps General Leopoldo Cintra Frías - other actions reported were the acceleration of harvests and the protection of urban farms.
Luis Carlos Góngora, vice president of the Provincial Administrative Council in charge of distribution, reported that extra eggs and pork are being made available and stores will remain open until 11:00pm.
Additionally, 85 trucks and 44 tractors are working on the sanitization of the city, with an emphasis on the municipalities of Playa, La Habana del Este, Arroyo Naranjo, Diez de Octubre, Centro Habana and La Habana Vieja, the closest to the coastline.
Resources in healthcare centers are being safeguarded in areas prone to flooding and services are ensured for the population, reported Raidol García, provincial head of Public Health.
Likewise steps have been taken to ensure that all visitors lodged in hotels and private B&Bs are safe; while the city's network of hotels is ready to receive tourists evacuated from other provinces.
Plans are in place to receive residents who may need to be evacuated from their homes, with food, healthcare, and transportation to shelters ready.
López Acea called on all residents of the capital to maintain discipline, act prudently, and cooperate with authorities, in addition to complying with Civil Defense instructions in a responsible fashion, as quickly as possible.
Head of the National Civil Defense General Staff, Division General (R) Ramón Pardo Guerra, emphasized the importance of evaluating losses to determine the areas most affected, to begin work as soon as possible, once the recovery phase begins.

Santiago is located in Chile's centre, conveniently splitting the country into the north and south. For some months before leaving Sydney, I had been talking with Leonel about going camping in 'the south'.
Stretching from Santiago's southern extremities to the frosty tips of Patagonia, the south is an amazingly diverse area. The focus of our trip was the Tenth Region, known for its lakes and volcanoes. But before exploring them, we were heading to Valdivia, the region's main city to stay with Leonel's cousin, Alberto. Joining us for the first leg of the journey was Leo's older brother, Daniel, who was thinking about buying a property from Alberto's mother on the city's outskirts.
Three days after I arrived in Chile, the three of us piled into the motorised shopping trolley that Leonel and Suzuki call a car, and headed south. The motorway from Santiago is well constructed and surprisingly efficient but it comes at a cost. Built by foreign companies who continue to collect significant royalties from its users, the highway is often described by locals as the re-colonisation of Chile.
Like Santiago itself, the northern part of Chile's south was extremely dry after a long, hot summer. Apart from the vineyards of the Colchagua Valley, the beginning of the journey was marked by dusty landscapes, stony river beds with trickling flows set against the soaring peaks of the Andes. But somewhere in the Eighth Region, everything changed and the country turned green. Pine plantations sprung up on both sides of the road, spreading out in all directions, and a little further on, the snowcapped peaks of volcanoes began to punctuate the horizon. This was the south I had been waiting for.
About 800km and nine 'peajes', or tollgates, after setting out from Santiago, we reached Valdivia. After treading water for half an hour in a traffic jam that sprang up with no apparent reason and then promptly disappeared, we drove towards Niebla, the coastal town where Alberto lived. By the time we reached Niebla, it was dark and after taking a wrong turn we soon became lost. In the confusion, we turned down a narrow street thinking it would take us back to the main road only to find it was a dead end. As we were turning around we looked up and saw Alberto, or Albertito as his cousins call him, standing arms folded on the front porch as if he had been expecting us to arrive just at that moment.
Back in Santiago, Daniel had mentioned that Albertito was a 'personaje', or character, but this did little to prepare me for the man I was about to meet. Aged somewhere in his forties, Alberto had balding hair, wild grey eyes and a neatly kept moustache and goatee. A woollen jumper concealed his large belly and he wore well pressed slacks. At his feet were two dogs – a small, fluffy one that constantly yapped and a larger one that stood attentively by his side and wagged its tail.
As soon as we prised ourselves out of the shopping trolley, Albertito greeted each of us with a formal salutation, a high pitched laugh and a stifling bear hug. After the initial welcome, he ushered us inside where a round table was set, ready for a large Chilean supper of coffee, bread, mashed avocado and sliced tomato. Albertito spoke quickly with a strong accent, making it almost impossible for me to understand him but between laughs, I was able to decipher that he claimed to be a follower of Nietzsche and a communist sympathiser. It was hard to tell if he was being sincere or if it was just part of his performance. Later, when he found out I was a Christian, Albertito started saying grace before every meal. Although he recited the same words each time, he said them with passion and in a way that appeared to be genuine. But everyone else swore they had never heard him pray before.
After supper, we went out to the patio where we were joined by another of Albertito's cousins, Paco, who also turned out be a personaje. But unlike Albertito, Paco was a man of few words. In his mid-20s, he was overweight with longish hair a short beard. He sat quietly in a corner, smoking and drinking, only interrupting his silence to laugh or answer a direct question.
With lots to catch up on, the conversation continued into the small hours of the morning, with most of it going over my head. Every now and then, I chipped in with a 'chilenismo' from my phrasebook and everybody laughed, led by Albertito and his shrieking chuckle. He continued to tell animated stories, waving his arms, stamping his feet and contorting his expressive face for emphasis. Most of the time, I just sat back and enjoyed the show.
Occasionally Albertito paused from his story to share his unique version of broken English for my benefit. Turning to me with bulging eyes, he would say, "Yo: psych-a-delic". After telling a joke that everyone else found hilarious, he came back to me and said: "Yo, de 'other planet'. Tu y yo de 'same planet'."
I joined in the laughter.

"Not Your Grandfather's Grandfather: Interim Grandfather Rules Released Under Health Care Legislation"
Last week, the Federal agencies charged with implementing the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (the "Act") issued interim guidance on the Act's grandfather provisions. Although the impact of this guidance on plans, plan sponsors, plan administrators and insurance companies could vary depending on individual circumstances, the attached chart is intended to give a general overview of selected considerations addressed by the interim guidance. Given the scale, scope and details involved in the grandfather provisions, the interim rules may not be as illuminating as many would have hoped for.

Colorado: August 13th - 15th, 2010
And I'm in Colorado
When I'm not in some hotel
Living out this life I've chose
And come to know so well. - Dan Fogelberg
I spend the vast majority of my time in Chicago. I also rent a room at my Aunt's house outside of Denver with four great roommates. I call it the frat house. I try to make it back as often as I can. This weekend was the first time I've been back since July 4th.
I catch up on my mail and bills; and I try to catch up with my roommates as much as possible. They work a lot on the weekends though, so it's tough. One just got back from China and one is returning from Africa as I write this. I also get a kitchen and my smoker. Cooking is easily my favorite hobby. I worked in kitchens through high school and college: baking, catering, serving, tending bar etc... and it has stuck with me. This weekend I decided to work on the pork loin sandwich that I had in Sioux Falls from Uncle Ed's.
I constructed a simple rub (see image for proportions). The pork loin went into a 250° smoker (oak) for three hours or so and then I finished it in a 350° oven to an internal temp. of 145°. I added a couple of peaches, an onion and a bulb of garlic to the roasting pan and used the accumulated juice to spoon over the finished product... which was dead on.
I doctored some commercial sauce with cider vinegar and honey to get the perfect ratio (to my taste) and served on potato rolls.
I also learned (trying to prepare for the Austin Hot Sauce competition in two weeks) that making true hot sauce is hard. I spent Saturday morning experimenting and the best I got was a kick-ass hot salsa. I let a dozen or so Serrano peppers steep in white vinegar overnight and made a chutney out of roasted Meyer lemons, peaches, onions, garlic and Habanaro peppers. I combined the chutney and the vinegar with some tomato paste and let it boil then simmer. Again, great salsa but not quite a hot sauce. I'll have to try again next year and prepare more.

Things new in this release:
Mike S-- are you using any weird extensions like web-filters or anything? I know there's a bug (I found it :) ) with WebFree, the ad filter... that causes pages to be rendered all fscked up...
I'd eliminate all non OS extensions and cps and try that... And make sure you have enough memory free... And be sure to clean out ALL preferences (Mozilla Registry in teh prefs folder + The documents folder in your main directory)... And be patient the first time... It takes about 30 seconds to run..
I dunno if that'll help.. You may wanna check bugzilla for descriptions of your problem and if it's not there, you might wanna file it.
Good luck, W

Wednesday September 6th through Friday September 8th, the GCHS annual Rush Week will be taking place.
During rush week, club officers set up tables and encourage fellow students to join their club. Candy is given out, and discounts are taken for enrollment in those clubs (normally $5-$10 fee)
Many colleges look for participation in organizations that GCHS has to offer because student involvement reflects leadership, timeliness, efficiency, and selfless qualities. Students who show these are more likely to acquire scholarships, be accepted into universities of their choice, and excel in their studies and/or career.

Have you ever ridden the tram that goes from New York City to Roosevelt Island? If you're not from New York, you may not know it but there is an island in the East River called Roosevelt Island. It's been around for a long time and has gone through many incarnations. Right now, it's a combination of apartment buildings, private residences and convalescent homes.
Jon and I took a tour of the island with Forgotten New York back in November.
We learned that for a long time to get to Roosevelt Island you had to take a boat. Then a small bridge was built connecting it to Queens. For a long time, that was the only way you could get on and off the island. About thirty years ago or so, the tram was added to ferry commuters to New York City and most recently, the subway.
If you're not familiar with the tram you've probably seen it. It looks like this.
Back and forth across the East River, it takes four minutes each way.
I've been on the Tram several times and there hasn't been one time that I've taken it, that I haven't thought about what a nightmare it would be if the tram got stuck one way or another.
Well, it happened today and all I can say is thank goodness I wasn't on it.
At the time I'm writing this entry, the rescue operation is underway. It involves a small basket that can move people 10 at a time. The one closest to Manhattan, suspended over either 1st or 2nd Avenue, will be the second to be rescued because the one heading toward Roosevelt Island is stuck in the middle over the water and is presumably the scarier one to be on.
The scariest part, aside from having to hold your pee for 8 hours, has to be climbing out of the tram and into that little basket 200 feet above water. To get out of the tram you have to climb out through the roof. It's not a simple rescue.
I hope it goes well.

A teenager was arrested yesterday in Mondulkiri province's Sen Monorom town after he accidentally shot a local official in the head while hunting birds with an air rifle.
Mondulkiri provincial police chief Touch Yun said Sang Hean, 15, had been charged with using an illegal weapon after a complaint was filed by Nuon Phat, an employee of the Mondulkiri provincial public works and transportation department.
According to his complaint, Phat, 47, had finished ploughing a field and was loading the tractor onto a truck when the bullet struck his right temple.
Phat said he then spotted Hean on a motorbike looking "frightened".
"At that time, I did not stop the car to catch the boy since I was concerned about the bullet sticking in my head," Phat said.
"I drove straight to the hospital, and later on, after the medics got the bullet out of my head and bandaged my head, then I rode to file the complaint to arrest the boy."
Yun said that Hean confessed and led police to where he dropped the rifle.
"I tried to shoot a bird on a branch, but I missed," Hean told police, according to his statement.
"I tried to aim one more time, but I heard a scream from a villager who said 'who shot me?'
"I was scared; I dropped the rifle and rode the motorbike home. A moment later, I was arrested by the authorities."

My German Blog
Dear You,
sorry, I was a bit lazy in the last weeks. Not really lazy - I had a lot of other things to do - but even my best friends in "the real world" had to wait for my (long) e-mails.
Now the first thing I've written is a post - in German. I had almost forgotten that I have a German blog - www.berlinzumdritten.blogspot.com - but I remembered it two days ago when I had a really charming experience while wandering through Berlin. And suddenly I knew that there exists a word for the way I discover cities and towns: "flanieren" - it might be translated as "to stroll about" or "amble along". And that word I chose as title for my German blog.
Oh - translations: I saw what Google offers you when you choose "translation" for my German blog - oh my... Better to do it myself (roughly).
I wrote:
'Today the sun is shining, though still a little bit timid, and in the afternoon I sit on my balcony, in one hand a mug of tea, in the other a book by Franz Hessel, written in 1929: "Spazieren in Berlin: Ein Lehrbuch der Kunst in Berlin spazieren zu gehen', ("Strolling about Berlin: A Guide (or textbook) to Learn the Art of Strolling About Berlin") - the title was changed in 1984 to "Ein Flaneur in Berlin".
My balcony is already planted with early flowering plants: tiny daffodils, a few yellow pansies, and topiary rosemary, thyme, laurel and sage (on little trunks). These little trees led to a discussion with an interesting (unacquainted) woman, who was torn between gardener's greed ("they are dead cheap") and prudence ("it is still too early"). She decided upon reason.
I don't want to be reasonable anymore. At least not with tiny things - and often also not with big ones.
"Strolling about" also doesn't follow reason.
It is what I do for years: in London, where I don't give a damn about beautifully bound city guidebooks; in Edinburgh where I fell in love with the city while I drifted around; in Hastings, washed up like Robinson Crusoe, and where everybody asked: "Why Hastings?"
If you do 'flanieren', there is no "Why?"
One just meanders along.
