Anabolic Steroids Pills Canada,Anavar For Sale Philippines,Deca Durabolin Blood Pressure
'Blue Is the Warmest Color'
IFC Films describes "Blue Is the Warmest Color" as "The story of a young lesbian 4-chlorodehydromethyltestosterone couple's beginning, middle and possible end." While that's reductive, it does nominally describe the three stage rocket that is Abdellatif Kechiche's three hour film.
But let's not bury the lead: It's also an NC 17 film with a seven minute sex scene that has made it cinema non grata in Idaho.
Natively titled "La vie d'Adele, Chapitres 1 et 2," this French film won the Palme d'Or at Cannes this year, an honor that also officially went to leads Adele Exarchopoulos and Lea Seydoux. Both romance and sexual odyssey, Kechiche's film takes the point of view of Adele (doe eyed Exarchopoulos), who's 17 going on 18 and bi curious, if not simply gay repressed. After a literary lesson in the power of a "love at first sight" glance (via Marivaux's "La Vie de Marianne"), lo and behold, Adele experiences one for herself in passing the provocatively Anabolic Steroids Pills Canada blue haired Emma (Seydoux) on the street.
Before long, the two meet again and strike up a conversation that's charged with possibility. Out and proud Emma has a few years on the tentative Adele, which sets the scene for a gentle sexual education. Despite intimations that Emma is a wild child on the lesbian scene, she instantly intuits, and welcomes, the Anavar For Sale Philippines need to try a little tenderness with Adele.
Kechiche (whose last domestic import was 2007's "The Secret of the Grain") captures that moment when the rest of the world goes away; he and his cast are totally successful at evoking the first blushes of emotional intimacy (chased by the physical intimacy of that sex scene). The film's own emotional intimacy is its strongest asset: Kechiche gets "Hgh Jintropin Avis" in close with Deca Durabolin Blood Pressure tight close ups that afford us the almost "possessive" privilege to be right there, as close as Adele and Emma are to each other, "Anabola Steroider Norge Lagligt" as each spills into the other's eyes and soul.
After that beginning, the film's middle explores the complications to Adele of embarking on a lesbian relationship: meeting Emma's cheerily accepting parents, dodging the truth as Emma meets Adele's seemingly unready parents, and enduring "Oxandrolone Powder India" the third degree she's given at school by her "friends." (One of the film's interesting cultural assertions is a double standard of accepted gay male versus repellent lesbian female.) Adele's inability to care less about these social stigmas Buy Jintropin contributes to a bisexual confusion.
Wisely, the film's complicated "possible end" concerns itself less with sexual orientation and much more with the universal strains of a naturally aging relationship: jealousies, differing needs, divergent directions by which to drift apart. Earlier in the film, a teacher of "Antigone" ominously notes, "Tragedy is the unavoidable," a preparation for a rift that may or may not take between these two people who love each other but may not be able to share their whole lives with each other.
The literature Kechiche self consciously references demonstrates his own priorities to tease out the provocative and liberating properties of art. Add extraordinary, emotionally generous performances, and "Blue Is the Warmest Color" grasps enough moments of truth to justify its extensive reach.

I've finally managed to wipe away the tears I shed when Ric Flair was forced to retire after losing to Shawn Michaels.
But I've got other memories of Wrestlemania, too.
It's not like the old days when wrestlers cloaked themselves in secrecy. When good guys were good and bad guys were bad.
Wrestlers now cross those lines frequently. Out of the ring, some of the bad guys are the nicest.
Here's a collection of quotes gathered during the week of Wrestlemania:
Randy Orton: "A lot of guys have inspired and motivated me through the years. I look at Rey Mysterio. He's got a beautiful wife and two kids. I look at him out of the ring and that's way I'd like to be."
Armando Estrada: "A lot of what you see on TV is me. When I see the red light, that's me without about six cups of Starbucks expresso."
Mae Young: "Stephanie (McMahon) promised me I could wrestle her daughter, Aurora Rose, when I was 100 years old. I've always said I hope I die in the middle of the ring."
Linda McMahon: "We were one of the first reality shows. Those who watch know the character Mr. McMahon. He's been on TV longer than Johnny Carson."
Maryse, with a devilish grin: "I've already been in Playboy. Maybe if they're lucky I'll do it again."
Edge, when asked what his dream match would be: "Edge vs. Bret Hart ... at Wrestlemania in Toronto. I know it won't happen, but it'd have been great."
Edgehead Zack Ryder describes the amazing feeling looking around the WWE locker room: "I see guys like Big Show, Shawn Michaels, Ric Flair and The Undertaker and as a kid, I used to play with their action figures."
Andrew Martin (Test) was arrested Sunday in Florida, accused of driving under the influence. "Considering I don't drink alcohol or do drugs, I don't know how the DUI is going to stand," Martin said ... Nattie Neidhart will apparently be known as Natalia Neidhart on Smackdown!

ALTHOUGH the Cummins next-generation QSB diesel engine doesn't look much different from its predecessor on the outside, the company says the new powerplant features an "in-cylinder" emissions solution that has enabled increased performance while meeting more stringent Tier 3 emissions regulations. By focusing on more efficient combustion in the cylinder, Cummins engineers were able to do without the use of complex turbocharger arrangements or external hardware such as exhaust gas recirculation.
The QSB features increased displacement, rear gear drive, a high-pressure common-rail fuel system and other enhancements for performance, durability and reduced noise. These engines not only meet the EPA Tier 3 emissions requirements, but are fully capable of moving forward to the future Tier 4 requirements.
The Tier 3 QSB will be available in both a 4- and 6-cyl. platform, with displacement increased from 3.9 to 4.5 liters and from 5.9 to 6.7 liters compared to the current Tier 2 QSB. The engines are rated from 110 to 275 hp and are specifically designed to meet the durability, reliability and power-density requirements of applications such as tractors, sprayers and combines.
Cummins began limited production of the 6.7-liter QSB, rated at 135 to 275 hp, in June 2005, a full six months ahead of the emissions regulations. The 4.5-liter QSB, rated at 110 to 170 hp, will be in limited production in December 2005, a full year ahead of the regulations. The 4.5-liter QSB has been increased from 130 to 170 hp from the Tier 2 engine.

Looks unrestored to me. I noticed the springs have the paint mark and no decals. The paint mark looks yellow like my 67 L35 4B LOS springs. Mike
For sure unrestored and rust free . Very nice. 69 style straps on rear yoke . I believe they should be u bolts
I'd say definitely unrestored and from a non-rustbelt state....
Curious: Why do you ask?
Is the car red or originally red?It appears to still have overspray on the floorpan in the direction that it would have been applied to the rocker panels.
David, if you have pics of your car before and have worked to duplicate what you had one would think it would be a non issue. We all know there were lots of variation so put it back to what it was and don't look back.
Also, I thought BB axle torque-arms were supposed to be square and not round tubing..

JUNE 14th, 24-HOUR ULTRASKATE IV - World Record Set
Photo by Taylor Barrett, more of his photos here.
Beyond my expectations...I set a new world record for 24 hour distance skateboarding...242 miles at this years Ultraskate IV... Find more information at PavedWave.org...
from PavedWave.org forum...
Howdy Folks
Slept a lot yesterday, but feel fine today.
Went skateboarding over at Volunteer Park. Really enjoyed it...even feeling stronger.
A HUGE HUGE thank you to James Peters and all the crew in Seattle. It is hard to believe that I had never even heard of Long Distance Pumping before April 1st this year! What a blessing to have met James on that day at Green Lake.
Couple weeks later, James lets me borrow that magic board. My gawd what a beautiful, magical thing it is...Subsonic Pulse 40.
After James let me borrow the board, I rode like a maniac for days and days...crashed...took a couple weeks to recover...went to LA for some healing sun and great training rides...and then back to Seattle.
I am going to write down more about my experience during the ride, but just to let everyone know my secrets:
1. Be sure you have an excellent LDP (long distance pumping) board...I did (see Subsonic Pulse 40).
2. Train yourself to run an ultramarathon...i.e., learn how to pace youself for a full 24 hours
3. Study about 24 hour nutrition and hydration and electrolyte needs. Nutrition is key. In my case, I relied on my own special sports nutrition drink mix which includes maltodextrin, soy or hemp protein powder, Green Magma powder and Rehydration Salts. I also ate GU's and Hammer Gels and drank some coffee. I also took two Advil during the race and 1 Succeed! S-Cap every 2 hours.
4. Have strong healthy feet...and let them have the freedom to move around to get blood flowing everywhere...that's why I wore my Vibram FiveFinger shoes...allowed my foot to do what it does best.
I went into the event just trying to see what it would be like to go 100 miles..., but the weather was perfect and the energy strong. I just could feel Eric Lowell's energy and his energy got me inspired to keep going too. I was determined to go the full 24 hours and Eric helped me have someone to follow.
After some rest and some skating today, I have come to the conclusion that someday, someone in this sport is going to achieve 300 miles in 24 hours. Before yesterday, I would have said that 220 is impossible...
So all you out there, live strong and push the envelope of the possible...
Look forward to seeing you on the giant paved wave...
PS. A big thank you goes out to my cousin Robert Renfro and SCI, Technology Without Intrusion for sponsoring my travel to this event.

There are very few fruits that are used as extensively in the kitchen as the lemon. From the glass to the dessert and everything in between, the lemon knows no boundaries as it flows seamlessly through our meal.
We begin with a slice of lemon floating in our glass. We progress to the salad course and find lemon juice makes a wonderful dressing. Lemons are a hit in our meat course, especially with chicken and seafood. In the vegetable course, fresh steamed vegetables topped off with lemon and butter elevates the fresh flavors of the vegetables to a whole new level. And perhaps my favorite course for using lemons is dessert. Who can resist the combination of the sweetness of sugar and the tartness of the lemon in any confectionery treat?
Unlike other fruits, lemons are available year-round with maximum flavor. Most of the lemons in the supermarkets are Eureka or Lisbon and are grown in California and Florida, but recently I was able to pick up some Meyer lemons in the produce section. A Meyer lemon is less acidic and a bit sweeter. While not certain, many experts say a Meyer lemon is a cross between and lemon and a tangerine. You can taste the difference and pick up that little hint of sweetness best in the zest of the Meyer lemon, making it perfect choice for desserts.
Since we consume lemons in so many ways, it's good to know that they are also good for us. Lemons are very high in vitamin C and B, calcium and riboflavin. Who hasn't at some point been given the concoction of honey and lemon - and sometimes whiskey - for a cold? It tastes horrible, but it sure makes the cold go away quicker. A glass of water with the juice of half a lemon each morning is touted to aid in digestion, help respiratory problems, purge the body of toxins and even help with rheumatism.
I learned the medicinal qualities of lemons while carrying my third child. I suffered greatly with all-day nausea. I tried every remedy in the book and then one day, in desperation, I cut a lemon in half and sucked on it. The nausea subsided. For the rest of my pregnancy, I kept half a lemon in my desk drawer at work, and when the nausea would consume me, I would just pull it out and take in some of that sour juice until my stomach calmed down. That baby, Loraine, who will be 29 on Saturday, has always loved lemons and can eat one like most other people eat an orange.
Lemons also report for duty in the cleaning department. Half of a lemon dipped into salt and baking soda and rubbed on a copper pot will make it shine like new. Clean your cutting boards by rubbing with half a lemon, squeezing the juice out as you go. The lemon will not only remove many stains, the antiseptic in the lemon will sanitize your cutting board.
Lemons keep well in the refrigerator for up to three weeks. When purchasing lemons look for heavy, thin smooth skins, and stay away from the soft, wrinkled ones. A lemon with a bit of green on it is not fully ripened and will be more acidic. If you just need the juice from the lemon, zest it before you cut it and store the zest in an airtight bag in the freezer. When your recipe calls for zest, just pull it out and use it. A medium-size lemon will produce about 1 tablespoon of zest and 3 and 2 to 3 tablespoons of juice.
Whether using it for health benefits, cleaning or culinary concoctions, the lemon is a workhorse always ready to perform.
Lemon & Rosemary Cookies
I published this recipe last June in my article on rosemary, but when I made it with the Meyer lemon it took on a whole new flavor, so I had to share it again.
2 sticks butter, room temperature
¾ cup sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
2 teaspoons grated Meyer lemon zest
2 ¼ cups all purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
Sugar for dusting
Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla, mix until blended. Add the rosemary, lemon zest salt and flour and mix well.
Divide dough in half and shape into log. Roll logs up in wax paper about 1 ½ inch in diameter. Chill for at least 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 375 F. Cut logs into ¼ inch slices, roll in sugar and place on parchment covered baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
Lemon Shrimp & Orzo
1 cup orzo, cooked according to package directions set aside
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 sweet onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 lemon, juiced and zested
3/4 cup white dry white wine
1 pound shrimp, peeled & deveined
1 tablespoon butter
Salt and Pepper to taste
1/4 cup parsley, chopped
2/3 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
In a large pan, heat olive oil. Add onions and cook for about 5-6 minutes or until they are soft but not brown. Add the garlic and cook for an additional minute. Add the lemon juice, zest, and wine. Bring to a boil then reduce the heat and cook for 2-3 minutes to marry the flavor.
Season with salt & pepper to taste. Add the shrimp and cook until just cooked through, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in 1 tablespoon of butter, parsley and Parmesan cheese.

WORCESTER, Mass. - Junior Jimmy Bartolotta scored a game-high 33 points en route to his fourth 30-point game of the season and MIT pulled away late from NEWMAC rival Clark University, 87-80, on Saturday at the Kneller Athletic Center. Hamidou Soumare added 26 points and a season-high five assists as the Engineers won their third straight.
Trailing 22-21 with 10:26 left in the first half, MIT (12-6, 3-2) powered ahead of the Cougars with a 16-4 run over the next six minutes. Soumare scored seven points during the stretch while Bartolotta, Will Mroz and Billy Johnson connected on shots from behind the arc on three straight possessions.
Clark (9-8, 4-2) refused to let the Engineers pull away, and despite falling behind by 11, rallied to within two mostly behind the strong offensive play of Peter Normandin. Soumare pushed the advantage to 43-39 with a basket just before the half.
Early in the second half, the Engineers increased their lead back to nine but again Clark responded. Taking advantage of an MIT field-goal drought which lasted over six minutes, the Cougars took a 60-58 lead with 11:12 left in the game after a lay-up by Mark Alexander.
The Cardinal and Gray scored six straight points after losing the lead, getting two lay-ups from Baortolotta and one from Bradley Gampel, including a fast-break hoop that started off a monster block by Soumare.
Once MIT moved back in front, it never relinquished the lead. While Clark kept the pressure on the Engineers heading down the stretch, MIT finished 25-of-35 at the free-throw line to seal Tech's first road win in conference play.
Three players scored in double-figures for Clark. Normandin led the Cougars with 26 points on 6-of-11 shooting and a perfect 12-for-12 effort at the charity stripe. Sophomore Mark Alexander added 13 points and senior Pat Landers finished with 12 points and seven boards.
Bartolotta and Soumare provided most of the firepower for the MIT attack, combining for 59 points while no other player reached double figures. Mroz finished 3-of-4 from the floor including 2-of-2 from three-point range to finish with eight points, and Johnson and Daniel McCue each chipped in seven.

My interest in genealogy began when I was told that my grandfather, William Hagen Campbell, inherited money from America. Depending on who told you the story (and how much they had imbibed), it varied between £500 and £10,000! The only way to find out was to get the facts myself. I only had one clue to go on -- a small village in Northern Ireland called Plumbridge, near Strabane in County Tyrone. I had never heard of it, but at least I had a start.
If you search for the word Plumsbridge in Google nowadays, there are thousands of pages to browse through, including the stories of my family, but in 1999 information was scarce. However, I did come across a "Robert Campbell Fur Trader," who left Plumbridge for America in 1822. Surely a fur trader from that long ago couldn't have made enough money for my grandfather to inherit some of it? How wrong I was! An incredible family history of the famous and the infamous and of tragedy and success emerged, and it all started with an inheritance.
|Jedediah Smith
Robert was involved in many expeditions, which took the respective parties into conflict with the natives, including the Flathead and Crow. In a letter to Hugh, he commented that he witnessed a scalping, calling it "the most horrible thing I have ever witnessed." However, Robert got on well with the Native Americans and was one of the very few white men trusted by the Plains Indians. He also became a blood brother to a Flathead brave.

After Robert's retirement from trapping in 1835, he went into business with his long-time friend William Sublette. He had his "fingers in a lot of pies," ranging from dry goods to real estate and steamboats. Indeed, Robert gave the author Mark Twain his first job as a riverboat pilot on the Mississippi.
Robert's business acumen drew increasing attention, and he was made president of the Merchants National Bank and the First Bank of Missouri in 1843. His views were well-respected, and he was a confidante of six Missouri governors and three U.S. presidents, the most notable being Ulysses Grant, a frequent visitor to his home. To show how powerful Robert became, my great-great grandfather, Robert Boyle Campbell, son of Robert's older brother Andrew, left Ireland for the United States during the American Civil War and was found with Confederate papers. He would almost certainly have been given the death sentence, but due to Robert's influence he was deported to Ireland. I have Robert to thank for being here!

"Family lore says that after enlisting in the Confederate army he [Robert Boyle Campbell] decided to desert. He tried to find haven in St. Louis, which was a Union outpost, but on making his way there while still unwisely carrying Confederate identification, he was caught by Union troops who suspected him of being a Confederate spy and threatened to hang him. This time his uncle [Robert Campbell] came to his aid using his considerable influence to get Robert Boyle released."

After a long and happy marriage, in 1879 Robert finally succumbed to the tuberculosis that had cast a cloud over him all his life. From humble beginnings as a farmer's son in County Tyrone, he had become a multimillionaire and helped shape the New World. He left behind Virginia, who died three years after him, and his three remaining sons.
|Hugh Campbell Jr., 1900
Hugh Campbell was born in 1847 and graduated from St. Louis' Washington University in 1867 with a law degree but he never practiced. He was known as the life and soul of a party. As he got older he gave up this lifestyle to look after his younger brother Hazlett. He did, however, lay on parties at the Campbell home for local children and was very charitable, donating money to among others, local children's homes and churches of all denominations. Hugh died of heart disease in 1931 after nearly 20 years as a virtual recluse.
|James Campbell - 1972
James was born in 1860 and attended Yale University for three years, leaving due to his mother's death in 1882. In 1885 he resumed his studies, this time at Harvard and graduated with honors in 1888. He and his two brothers then went on a tour of Europe that lasted until James took ill with a severe bout of pneumonia and died in Paris in 1890. A sad Hugh and Hazlett returned to St Louis with their brother's remains.
|Hazlett Campbell, 1870
Hazlett Campbell was born in 1858 and graduated from Smith Academy in 1876. A close friend of his noted that he started becoming peculiar around 1878, and worsened after the death of his mother in 1882. Today he would most likely be diagnosed with schizophrenia but little or nothing was known about it then. Even though Hugh had taken him to Europe's best physicians, no cure could be found for him. It is very possible that lead poisoning in the womb caused his illness. Hazlett died intestate in March 1938, and, as he had inherited his father's fortune, it was his passing that created the mad clamber to claim his estate.
After a lot of painstaking investigation, which included a visit to Plumbridge, I finally found out the truth about this mysterious inheritance. Robert Boyle Campbell's son William Laurence Campbell died aged 36 in a poorhouse in Glasgow. In August 1939, Robert's grandson and my grandfather William Hagen Campbell traveled from Thurso, Scotland, to Glasgow to give evidence at a special court of inquiry held in front of Mr J. J. Nangle, who had been appointed by the Circuit Court of St Louis in June 1938. My grandfather had to bring identification and swear in court to his identity. I actually have a copy of the court papers taken that day. He then had to wait to see if he would inherit any of the $2 million (£400,000) left by Hazlett.
Finally, in 1942, my grandfather, along with his four siblings, inherited one full share between them of the "Campbell millions." A full share was just over £10,000, so divided by five comes to around £2000. However, lawyers on both sides of the Atlantic had their cut of the money which equated to around a third of the cash. So after 20 years of tales, rumors, hearsay and stories, I finally worked it out that my grandfather came into the sum of £1,300 in 1942. A nice wee amount to get today, but during World War II he and my granny must have felt like millionaires! The fortune I inherited was this incredibly rich Campbell family history, and the stories keep unfolding!

WASHINGTON — Wildfires are flaring bigger and hotter in Alaska, the northern Rockies and the Sierra Nevada. Bighorn sheep, mountain goats and grizzly bears in Glacier National Park, along with deer and marsh rabbits in the Florida Keys, face a housing crisis.
Glacier's alpine meadows are disappearing, sea levels are rising in the Keys, and other federal lands are feeling the heat from global warming — and the government is not doing much about it, congressional investigators said in a report Thursday.
Climate change, however, does have things looking up for heat-loving pests like beetles, grasshoppers and fungi. Spruce bark beetles are chewing their way through 1,560 square miles of Alaska's Kenai Peninsula, including 620 square miles of spruce trees in Chugach National Forest. Southern pine beetles are on
the march in red spruce forests of the Southeast.
Non-native grasses are fast replacing native shrubs in the Mojave Desert, where the grasses also are fueling hotter and longer-lasting wildfires. Even pinyon pines hundreds of years old that have survived droughts before in the Southwest are dying off.
After more than three years of study, the Government Accountability Office, an arm of Congress, harshly faulted the Bush administration for doing little to deal with the far-reaching effects of climate change rapidly taking place in national parks, forests, marine sanctuaries and other federal lands and waters — almost 30 percent of the United States.
The GAO said the Interior, Agriculture and Commerce departments have failed to give their resource managers the guidance and tools they need — computer models, temperature and precipitation data, climate projects and detailed inventories of plant and animal species — to cope with all the biological and physical effects from the warming.
"Without such guidance, their ability to address climate change and effectively manage resources is constrained," the report says.
The White House disagreed.
"President Bush is committed to addressing climate and providing the agencies with the tools they need to address this important issue," said Kristen Hellmer, a spokeswoman for the White House Council on Environmental Quality. "The president has provided unparalleled financial investments for dozens of federal climate change programs, many of which are directed at adaptation and developing and deploying cleaner, more efficient energy technologies."
The GAO investigators looked at four representative areas:
-The Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary.
-Alaska's Chugach National Forest.
-Montana's Glacier National Park.
-Grasslands and shrubs managed by Interior's Bureau of Land Management in northwestern Arizona.
From those studies, investigators concluded: "Climate change has already begun to adversely affect federal resources in a variety of ways. Most experts with whom we spoke believe that these effects will continue and likely intensify over the coming decades."
What turned out to be a 184-page report was requested in March 2004 by Sens. John Kerry, D-Mass., and John McCain, R-Ariz, when Kerry was running for the presidential nomination. He now wants legislation requiring more climate change science.
"We waited a long time for this report to confirm the daunting prospect that climate change is impacting our public lands from coast to coast, and this administration is ill-equipped to respond," Kerry said.
Jamie Rappaport Clark, who was director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in the Clinton administration and is now executive vice president of Defenders of Wildlife, called the report an urgently needed wake-up call for the nation.
"Global warming is and will continue to contribute to species extinctions, flooding of coastal refuges and massive movements of wildlife populations in search of more hospitable habitat," she said. "Polar bears and other imperiled species, wildlife refuges, parks and myriad natural resources are at risk, and Congress clearly needs to provide more legislative direction because the agencies have failed to do so."
The effects are widespread.
In Glacier National Park, the number of glaciers has dropped from 150 to 26 since 1850. Some project that none will be left within 25 to 30 years. In south-central Alaska, many of the ponds shown on 1950 maps and in aerial photographs are now grassy basins with spruce and hardwood trees.
On the Keys' receding coastlines, the climate threat extends "not only to wildlife, but also to humans who live on the islands," the report says.
Bleaching of coral reefs in the Florida Keys, too, is being caused by the stress of warmer water, which causes the coral to eject microscopic algae that live within its tissues. That could harm the fishing and tourism industries, because the reefs are needed by fish and other marine species and are popular with snorkelers and scuba divers.
The GAO said the Interior Department has ignored an order signed by Secretary Bruce Babbitt on the last full day of the Clinton administration that requires it to "consider and analyze potential climate change impacts" in all its major decisions, long-range planning, management of resources and setting of scientific priorities.
In response, James Cason, an assistant interior secretary, told the GAO that an agency task force with nearly 100 people began meeting in April to study climate change, and the U.S. Geological Survey will spend $27 million for climate research in 2008. He said Interior "routinely takes actions to mitigate impacts of climate change."
Forest Service Chief Abigail Kimbell said that studying one forest, the Chugach, is not enough to draw conclusions about more than 300,000 square miles of national forests. Though Chugach's management plan does not address climate change, she said, 12 of the 155 national forests do.
David Sampson, deputy commerce secretary, said the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is "at the forefront of global efforts" to improve the ability to observe and forecast climate change through computer modeling.

Further issues appear to be entangling the Morgan County Commission's decision to appeal the circuit court ruling in favor of Morgan County Treasurer Louella Pryor in a lawsuit over $93,600 in back pay.
Further issues appear to be entangling the Morgan County Commission's decision to appeal the circuit court ruling in favor of Morgan County Treasurer Louella Pryor in a lawsuit over $93,600 in back pay.
In a two to one vote, the county commission voted during a crowded meeting on Oct. 17 to file an appeal.
Eastern District Commissioner Rodney Schad voted against the motion to file an appeal, but Presiding Commissioner James Vaughan and Western District Commissioner Wayne Kroeschen voted for it.
Vaughan has said that the commission believes the judge's interpretation of statutes was not correct and that they can ultimately save money by appealing.
Schad says he voted against the appeal after consulting a couple of attorneys who indicated that the appeal was unlikely to be successful.
St. Louis attorney Ivan Schraeder has represented the county commission in the case but was not present at the Oct. 17 county commission meeting.
According to Schad, the commission has consulted Schraeder about the appeal in a conference call a couple of weeks ago. Schraeder's counsel gave the commissioners options but did not advise them on whether to appeal or not, Schad said.
Vaughan says he too has received legal advice from another attorney and that counsel indicated the commission has a case for appeal.
On Thursday, Vaughan refused to release the name of the attorney he consulted independently and said that the commission was keeping its options open on who would represent them in the appeal. On Monday, however, he said local attorney Michael McDorman would be representing the county in the case.
When asked why the county decided to switch attorneys, Vaughan said it was just because they wanted a different attorney.
In a further conflict related to the matter, the county commission may have a contract issue over Schraeder representing the county in the lawsuit.
Originally approved in 2008, a copy of the Missouri Association of Counties prepaid legal services agreement - through which Morgan County contracts Schraeder's legal counsel - states that "no action in disputes between the County Commission and other individually elected county officials" and "no actions related to salary issues of county elected officials" are covered by the agreement in order to avoid a possible conflict of interest.
Vaughan said he was not aware of any issue over their contract with Schraeder.
Pryor was upset by the commission's decision to appeal.
The issue has become personal, she says.
"It's now discrimination as far as I'm concerned," Pryor says. "They're treating me differently than the other offices are treated. I feel it is a personal vendetta because I stood up for myself and they thought I should just have let it go. They said they wanted a judge's decision. Now, they've had the judge rule and I've tried to settle with them three times, but they're still too stubborn and they want to hurt me politically."
Since filing the lawsuit in April 2012, Pryor also says she has been suffering in a hostile work environment, including Vaughan yelling at her and retaliation by a courthouse employee, calling her stupid and trying to deny her access to office cleaning supplies.
Commissioners, she says, have refused to address the issue.
Vaughan refused to comment on her claims regarding the a hostile workplace.
People spilled out of the commissioner's office into their secretary's office and out into the hallway during the meeting as several people attended in support of Pryor.
While the county citizens attended the meeting regarding the appeal, they were only allowed to speak after the commissioners had already voted on the appeal.
They went ahead and said their pieces anyway, said Judy Dunnaway.
The meeting was a mess from there, she said.
Vaughan raised his voice at the crowd and picked up the phone and threatened to call the police when he didn't like what someone had to say, according to Dunnaway.
According to Schad, emotions did run high during the meeting, but as far as he was aware, everyone who wanted to speak was allowed to do so.
Vaughan refused to comment on anything regarding the meeting and his behavior. He also said he could not comment on anything tied to the lawsuit.
Retired Howard County Judge Ralph Jaynes granted Pryor's motion for summary judgement on Oct. 2.
From 2003-2010, Pryor received a salary of $33,300 per year. According to the ruling, her salary should have been $45,000 a year.
The judgement awarded Pryor the difference in pay for those years - $93,600 - with interest. Pryor was to be allowed to make contributions to her retirement plan retrospectively for those years based on the salary of $45,000, and the county commission was ordered to make contributions to Pryor's retirement plan in an amount equal to the amount that would have been paid for those years based on the $45,000 salary.
Serving on the Morgan County Salary Commission, Pryor herself voted for that salary though she has said that she has questioned the legality of the salary over the years. She was unsure in the matter, however, until attending an October 2011 Missouri Association of Counties meeting where she heard an attorney speak on elected officials' salaries and came to believe the $33,300 salary was not right.
Pryor attempted to negotiate a lesser settlement prior to filing the lawsuit, but the county commission refused to settle.
Pryor subsequently filed suit, and Judge Jaynes was appointed to take the case after two Morgan County judges recused themselves.
Jaynes ruled that Pryor was owed 100 percent of the state-mandated maximum salary for all eight years because of a 1997 vote by salary commission to set all officials' salaries at the full rate. The $33,300 was only 74 percent of state-mandated maximum, according to the ruling, though the decision to set salaries at 100 percent was never altered by subsequent salary commissions.
In 2001, the assessed valuation of Morgan County increased from approximately $266 million to $306 million. Crossing the $300 million assessed valuation threshold put Morgan County into a different statutory category for salaries.
At that time, all elected officials except for the treasurer received a salary increase to 100 percent of the maximum statutory amount effective Jan. 1, 2002, according to the court findings, which meant a mid-term salary increase for some.
No vote of the salary commission was ever made to effect those increases, and there was neither a motion nor a vote to provide for a lower percentage for the treasurer, the judgement stated.
When Pryor took office in 2003, RSMo Section 54.261 Subsection 2 and 3 did authorize the salary commission to set the treasurer's salary at $33,300 or up to $45,000 but no measure was ever taken to set the salary at less than 100 percent of the maximum, the ruling stated.
Then in 2003 during Pryor's first term, the Missouri General Assembly repealed Subsection 2 of Section 54.261 to set the salary for treasurers - of county's with assessed valuation of $300 million or more - at $45,000. The change removed even the option of setting the salary at $33,300, according to the ruling. If there was any doubt about what the salary should be, it was made plain that it had to be $45,000 on the effective date of the legislation on Aug. 28, 2003, the court judgement stated.
At the November 2005 meeting of the salary commission, a list distributed by then-prosecuting attorney Marvin Opie gave the treasurer's "base" salary as $33,300 - 74 percent of $45,000 - while all the other elected officials received 100 percent of their salaries ranging from $16,000 for the coroner to $50,000 for the sheriff.
If the term "base salary" had been used consistently for all offices, the treasurer's "base salary" would have been reported as $45,000, according to the court judgement.
According to Pryor, Western District Commissioner Warren Anderson told her prior to the meeting that she was not worth it and that if her salary went to 100 percent then the commissioners' salary would have to be raised to 126 percent.
It was the first meeting where Pryor would vote on her own salary.
Believing that the commission had received legal advice on the issue, she voted went ahead and voted yes on the $33,300 salary after a motion by then-County Collector Bob Raines to put everyone's salary at 100 percent was ignored by Anderson.
As a third class county, the Morgan County Salary Commission had no authority to establish a salary for the treasurer at $33,300, the judgement stated. The only way the salary commission could have set the treasurer's salary at 74 percent of the maximum only was with a two-thirds vote to set all elected officials' salaries at 74 percent. All officers must receive the same percentage increase or decrease, according to RSMo 50.333.6.
By never voting to set the salary at 74 percent, the treasurer's salary was also not stated as a percentage of the maximum allowable compensation, making the salary commission's action unlawful and void, also outlined by RSMo 50.333.6, the ruling stated.
In a statement following the court's decision, Vaughan argued, "In 2003 the language of one of the state statutes that governs the Salary Commission stated that her salary MAY increase to $45,000.00. Again, there was no motion made to that affect. In 2007, the language changed to SHALL increase to $45,000. Still with no motion made during the Salary Commission meeting, Mrs. Pryor was given the increase at the beginning of her new term in 2011."
According to Vaughan, the county commission acted under the advisement of their attorney who assured them that, due to the statute of limitations, Pryor would not be able to collect more than four years of back, if even that.
The judgement also ruled that the five year statute of limitations did not apply in this case because Missouri courts have consistently ruled that a cause of unpaid compensation does not accrue until the last date on which services are performed or when employment is terminated.

The Abraham Art Gallery at Wayland Baptist University will feature an exhibit of artwork varied in themes and media as it hosts the "New American Talent 16" show through Nov. 15.
The exhibit is a collection of works by artists submitted for the national juried show. With 900 original entries, the task set before juror Anne Umland - associate curator from the Museum of Modern Art in New York - was challenging to say the least. Candace Keller, curator of the Abraham Gallery and associate professor of art at Wayland, describes the process.
"Take an associate curator and assign her the task of jurying an exhibition. Seat her comfortably in a darkened room, with slide projectors, note-taking materials and an assistant to run the machines and make coffee. lots of coffee," she said. "Ask her to review the slides submitted by 900 artists from across the fruited plain and select from this vast number of entries a group of works which not only make a good first impression, but demand and reward sustained looking again and again and again."
The challenge is clear, especially when coupled with the fact that the works flashing into the dark room have no labels or explanations, no tactile access or indication of relative size. Yet somehow, Umland was able to whittle down the massive pile of entries in to a show that runs the gamut of media and theme presentation.
Umland describes her selections as "as series of distinctive instances of artistic expression in the making, as represented by 32 different artists working in the United States Today." Umland said she made a conscious effort to "preserve a sense of many voices" and said the exhibit's works "veer between figuration and abstraction, readymades and handmades, monumentality and miniaturization, between photography, painting, sculpture, collage, embroidery and various hybrids in between."
Keller said audiences who enjoy the challenges of interpretation presented by contemporary art will find the New American Talent 16 show rewarding. The exhibit is free and open to the public during regular gallery hours: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday and 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday.

Where Does The Internet Rank As A Utility?
from the air-water-food-shelter dept
None of the predictions are particularly surprising, but the story does bring up the question of how vital the Internet is (or isn't, depending on your point of view). A couple examples come to mind where the Internet has been shut down temporarily. In mid-2007, the tactics of cyberwarfare were demonstrated against Estonia. After those cyberattacks, though, attention focused more on who was responsible rather than on the damage, since the actual effects to the country were pretty minor given that the interruptions only lasted a few hours, and not days or weeks. Closer to home, there was the 2003 power outage in the Northeast -- but that was electricity, not just the Internet. So based on these examples, it seems like the Internet isn't quite as important as water, gas or electricity, but perhaps it could be gaining on the power grid. Additionally, it's reassuring to know that futurists aren't projecting a 'Max Headroom' dystopia where telecommunications are more important than Maslow's hierarchy of needs.

Montessori is an innovative, child-centered approach to education, developed a century ago by a woman ahead of her time.
Working with institutionalized and inner-city youngsters, Dr. Maria Montessori was struck by how avidly the children absorbed knowledge from their surroundings. Given developmentally appropriate materials and the freedom to follow their interests, they joyfully taught themselves.
The goal of Montessori education is to foster a child's natural inclination to learn. Montessori teachers guide rather than instruct, linking each student with activities that meet his interests, needs, and developmental level. The classroom is designed to allow movement and collaboration, as it also promotes concentration and a sense of order.
Unique learning materials beckon from accessible shelves, inviting small hands to take on new challenges, 1 concept or skill at a time.

Montessori education is an approach to that celebrates and nurtures each child's intrinsic desire to learn.

Montessori education dates back to 1907, when Maria Montessori opened the Casa dei Bambini, or Children's House, in a low-income district of Rome.
Independent of the American Montessori Society, regional and international Montessori groups strengthen the Montessori Movement and provide valuable networking opportunities with colleagues around the world.
As a clearinghouse for all things Montessori, we get questions—lots of questions. Here are some we're asked most often.

$17,000+ Bounty Offered For Leaks Of TPP Negotiating Texts
from the go-ahead-and-claim-the-money-ustr dept
However, it appears that some are (in some ways, quite literally) upping the ante in trying to pressure people into leaking the text. The folks over at ZeroPaid point us to some group that claims to have raised over $17,000 as a bounty for leaked TPP negotiating texts. They're asking for more pledges, though I have no idea whether or not the effort is legit. ZeroPaid points out that the site appears to be a project of Just Foreign Policy, which seems to at least be a legitimate organization, according to Guidestar. For what it's worth, the site also claims that you won't actually have to pay until the text is leaked, at which point they will ask you to fulfill your pledge.
The group's concerns seem reasonable as well:
The TPP negotiations have taken place under an unprecedented shroud of secrecy, denying all but a very few any input into the terms of the agreement. The chapters that have been leaked are quite disturbing, revealing plans that would threaten public health, the environment, internet freedom, and the general well-being of perhaps billions of people. Here's a little taste of what the agreement would include: foreign investor protections that would help corporations offshore jobs, powers that allow multinational corporations to challenge domestic regulations before international tribunals, a strengthening of patent and intellectual property rules which would, among other things, raise the price of life-saving medicines in third world countries, and the ability for Wall Street to roll back safeguards meant to restore financial stability worldwide.Will this be incentive enough for someone to leak the text? I'm not so sure. I'd think that someone's basic conscience about having access to such a document should be a better reason, but you never know...

"E! Entertainment Special: Pawn 90210" Premieres Wednesday, September 7th at 10:00pm ET/PT
Where the Wealthy Dash for Quick Cash in the World's Most Famous Zip Code
Actress Bai Ling Appears In the 30 Minute Special Hoping to Unload Her Vintage Jewelry
Los Angeles, CA - August 26, 2011 - Money doesn't grow on trees... not even in Beverly Hills. Although it's the wealthiest zip code in America, some residents still need to liquidate. That's when they turn to just one person --Yossi Dina -- the owner and proprietor of "The Dina Collection," otherwise known as the Taj Mahal of pawn shops. Premiering Wednesday, September 7th at 10:00pm ET/PT on E!, "E! Entertainment Special: Pawn 90210" takes viewers behind the counter of Yossi's prized pawn shop located in the heart of the worlds most famous zip code, 90210. The 50-year-old former Israeli army captain has been opening his doors to the downtrodden and desperate elite for the past 25 years. Yossi is the ultimate pawn broker that uses his eagle eye and military training to wisely evaluate the value of his customer's items, objects ranging from obscure vintage pieces to the contents of an entire palatial mansion. Because of his reputation as a charming, yet shrewd, businessman, a steel-nerved negotiator and prompt deliverer of cash, Yossi's the guy to know when you find yourself in need of instant liquidity. But whenever hard times hit the rich and famous, their first call is to Yossi. This half-hour special follows the surprising stories of Beverly Hills' rich and famous as they come to Yossi to trade their prized possessions (oftentimes with outrageous stories) in a desperate dash for quick cash.
In "Pawn 90210," an eccentric cast of posh Beverly Hills residents attempt to sell or pawn some truly fabulous items, but not all of them are in dire straits. People also come to Yossi with special requests... some to arrange for a small business loan or some to sell a one-of-a-kind Rodin sculpture. Angela's a widower and divorcee from Bel Air who realizes that her marriages were based more on materialism then on herself. Angela and her "healer" have come up with the plan for Yossi to help sell all of her belongings to cleanse herself of this burden and start a new life. Beautiful, young Manoosh was always spoiled. She lived a glamorous lifestyle that was funded by her wealthy boyfriend, until he broke her heart and split with all his cash. In hopes of jumpstarting her life and opening her own business as a clothing designer, Manoosh comes to Yossi to pawn a family heirloom. Does Yossi like her designs and give her the money she seeks? Or will she be forced to find another Sugar Daddy? Actress Bai Ling, one of Hollywood's most famous eccentrics, is yearning to prove herself as a serious actor in the entertainment industry. She comes to Yossi hoping to sell her vintage Chanel necklace with the plan to use the money to produce her passion film project so she can once and for all show the world her true talent. Is she asking too much? Will Yossi cave to her diva like demands? In this high stakes game of risk and reward, it's Yossi's job to figure out what price is right to protect his bottom dollar, but still making his demanding clientele happy.

Accounting for distributors brings an additional level of complexity to standard accounting, since a distributor acts both like a buyer and a seller. As such, accounting software for distributors mirrors the complexity of financial transactions that distributors have to deal with on a regular basis. As a result, every major provider has solutions specifically targeted at distributors. We wrote this buyer's guide to help buyers unlock this arcane market.
Here's what we'll cover:
What Is Distribution Accounting Software?
What Type of Buyer Are You?
Benefits and Potential Issues
Market Trends to Understand
The Vendor Landscape
"The language of business is accounting." Accounting software for distributors manages all of the financial transactions and operations, and includes special functionality unique to the industry. It comprises:
Inventory is often handled by a separate system, but could be one component in a complete enterprise resource planning (ERP) suite.
Three things in particular are different in accounting software for wholesalers. First is a focus on handling large volumes of transactions. Distributor margins are often described as "razor thin;" profitability comes from handling large quantities of transactions efficiently. Second is the unique requirement to handle large numbers of both vendors and customers. Since distributors sit between manufacturers and retailers, relationship management is important on both sides.
The third unique characteristic is a consequence of the other two. In order to effectively process orders with a large number of providers and customers, distribution systems need to integrate directly with suppliers' systems and retailers' systems. However, each different system may be from a different software provider. As such, accounting software for wholesale firms must correctly pass and receive data from and to a variety of systems.
Most large distributor systems are still installed on premise because of the networking infrastructure required to support a warehouse. One of the cost justifications for cloud-based applications is the reduced cost for infrastructure. Cloud-based programs have long-term benefits for wholesale distributors but this sector has not aggressively adopted that technology. Smaller distributors with more manual operators may benefit from cloud-based systems.
You'll need to determine what type of buyer you are as part of evaluating distribution software. Over 90 percent of buyers fall into one of these four groups:
Full-suite buyer. These buyers value the seamless integration of data and processes that comes from having one system for all functions. For example, a full-suite system for financials, customer relationship management and inventory management can turn quotes automatically into orders and then generate picking lists, shipping labels and invoices. These buyers favor complete software suites like Oracle, SAP, Sage ERP or Microsoft Dynamics AX.
Multiple warehouse operations buyer. These buyers run multiple facilities and need to track and balance inventories over a geographical area. The buyers require software that can handle the financial information from each location and still provide a single view of the operation. It must also track different tax information if the locations are in different jurisdictions.
Departmental buyer. These buyers are distribution specialists for firms that have an internal distribution network. They may only sell to their own outlets, but they must contend with multiple suppliers, inventory issues, competing corporate customers and transportation decisions similar to commercial distributors use.
Small business buyer. These buyers may work for distributors or wholesalers or may have a distribution component as part of their company. They usually have smaller numbers of clients, suppliers and inventory and may include some assembly or production components but still face the same basic issues as large-scale distributors. These buyers are often using paper-based tools or general accounting systems like Intuit or Peachtree.
There must be specific benefits to justify the costs of purchasing and implementing an accounting system.
Better cost control. A distribution accounting system gives a much better view of costs and margins. Increased information lets managers understand and control costs better.
Automated discount tracking. One of the challenges facing distributors is dealing with discounts. Tracking discounts like "2 percent 10 NET 30" becomes more difficult when managers have to track them on both sides, the discounts available from suppliers and the discounts offered to customers. Automated discount tracking lets distributors balance discounts available against cash flow requirements to make the best business decisions.
Better compliance reporting. Since the distribution accounting system interfaces with other systems throughout the firm, it serves as a convenient source for all of the compliance reports. This can significantly reduce the cost of preparing compliance documents for government agencies and insurance companies.
Accounting systems are a challenge to implement and to use. There is always the temptation to bypass the systems to "get 'er done." This leads to bad information in the system, which can flow through to supplier and vendor systems. This is not the best way to maintain good relationships in a relationship-driven business.
You could consider these market trends as you consider the top distribution accounting systems:
Use of advance ship notice. Most manufacturers and distributors are adopting advance ship notice (ASN) to help the purchaser effectively receive their orders. The ASN provides the purchaser with a list of the shipment's contents and matching bar codes, allowing the purchaser to pre-stage the receiving area to effectively count and stock the shipment.
Use of Web-based front ends. Most systems are allowing the use of Web-based technologies like browsers to provide information to upstream (vendor) and downstream (customer) partners. For example, a customer can verify that an order was received and is pending by logging on to a special website with information generated by the accounting system.
Availability of a management dashboard. For years, managers generated periodic and on-demand reports to monitor operations. As supply chain systems become more integrated with suppliers and customers, printed reports are too time consuming to use. Replacing them are dashboards that display key measures such as inventory turn, time to ship, discounts available or total accounts receivable. Systems can even provide email or text messages to notify managers when extraordinary events occur, such as a large order received or a customer account overdue for 90 days.
Distribution solutions vary in capability and in the ability to communicate with other software packages. Buyers need to evaluate both the integration needs and the scope of their distributor system.

MINNEAPOLIS—Minnesota Orchestra conductor Osmo Vanska resigned Tuesday amid a labor impasse that has dragged on for more than a year as management pushed for deep cuts to musicians' salaries.
The renowned Finnish maestro released a statement saying he was giving notice of his immediate resignation from the orchestra he has fostered to world-class status and garnering critics' praise the world over.
In the most recent negotiations, orchestra managers last week asked for musicians to accept pay cuts reaching 25 percent by the final year of a three-year deal, plus a bonus of $20,000 per musician. Musicians unanimously rejected that plan on Saturday.
In his statement, Vanska said it was a "very sad day."
"I send my deepest thanks to everyone involved for what we have achieved together and I wish the Minnesota Orchestra all the very best for its future," he said.
The orchestra on Monday canceled performances planned for early November at Carnegie Hall due to the labor dispute. Vanska had threatened to resign if the orchestra and musicians didn't reach agreement with sufficient time to save the New York performances.
After seeing the Minnesota Orchestra play at Carnegie Hall in 2010, The New Yorker's classical music critic Alex Ross wrote that they "sounded, to my ears, like the greatest orchestra in the world."
Management has said that even as the orchestra's reputation grew, attendance at its performances has remained flat, corporate and individual support declined and it received poor results from its investments. Musicians' salaries rose 3 percent to 4 percent per year under the previous contract.
Both management and the musicians said they were sorry to see Vanska go.
"Through his tenure, he has led the orchestra to remarkable musical heights. We enjoyed a truly rare chemistry with him and are deeply grateful to Osmo for imparting his passionate vision, exacting discipline and the resulting confidence that came from being at the top of our game," the musicians said in a statement.
Orchestra president and CEO Michael Henson said it was too early to talk about finding a replacement for Vanska, who led the Minnesota Orchestra for 10 years.
"We want to acknowledge the great work Osmo has done. Our biggest challenge remains getting the musicians back to the negotiating table and getting them to acknowledge the extent of the financial problems we face," Henson told The Associated Press Tuesday.
