Potomac watch columnist Kim straw soul is joining me now from Washington ... I can't what is the present mainly talks about all of these investments that he wants to make in our economy ... lead author that he's got us the look ... that is the presents were for more spending in the most notable aspect of last night's ... speech in that and he began by talking about ... the economy and deficits in these enormous challenges we face in terms of overspending ... and then proceeded to go on and list throughout the rest of the speech ... all of his new spending proposals everything from ... having the Fed's created a manufacturing hubs to having them finance universal preschool too ... having a tad ... creating new jobs court that the people to buy him to build bridges and roads ... so add this and that again is not much change from the president's agenda in the past this is about continuing to grow the size ... of government the team I want to put up a quick slide that has that a few of these proposals on it ... starting with the idea of raising the federal minimum wage to nine dollars an hour ... from seven and a quarter ... can ... what with this deal employment in our economy ... it would be absolutely terrible ... I know every time you do this it was interesting about that proposal to areas that ... the is aware that she is slightly handcuffed by the budgetary constraints in Washington so some of its proposals and this is a good example of that ... one in which government said that new regulations but the costs are borne by business ... the minimum wage is an excellent example of that if you ... demanded that the minimum wage goes up companies are paying that much more every time they hire a worker and and for overall costs and usually what that means for employers is that they don't hire ... on that they cannot grow their businesses its business that cannot be put into ... the future investment and in growth and so it's at overall I had a bad thing for the attack and was so kind of happy talk about possible tax reform ... just to put up that's like any wants to raise revenues ... by closing loopholes ... aam can Disney is just that a tax hike ... doing this and the other thing about the president's language and it's worth bearing in mind when you hear a Republican talk about tax reform ... they're talking about is ... that getting rid of that special tax breaks for special interest people that now crowd that the tax code ... and using that to lower rates for everybody and help grow the economy when you hear President Obama ... talking about tax reform he is talking about ... raising taxes on specific industries ... up calling it tax reform when in fact the purpose of those ... that revenue reading it is not to lower the tax code but to get that lower rates in the text of but to get ... out of Washington more money to spend a ... weekend there was another initiative we've got one more slot and I wanna put up here ... we talked about a ... fix it first infrastructure program he also touched on energy security ... people care so much about infrastructure and energy security ... what where with the Keystone pipeline in that speech last night I didn't hear it you know ... knowing what you are hearing is that this is a continuation of many of the president's ... proposals for his first term and if this ... stimulus by another name he was another ... fifty billion dollars to throwing infrastructure that works so well the first time around he's wants to give it another column ... on more money for for ventures like Solyndra ... and probably you hear him talk about any that things than actually would help job lake east of the cat that lives in a difficult position his environmental base ... of prove that a lot of this beach has directed that all of this talk about climate change ... they don't like the Keystone pipeline so I e ... you're right that would create a huge amount of jobs and help America's energy and security but ... because that is a tough line in our much loved by his last he did not mention in this piece last ... fall camp I would also mention that there were a lot it was a lot of talk about economic achievements ... given a negative growth in the fourth quarter and declining ... real wages for most Americans

The mission of the Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum is to collect, preserve and interpret the history and culture of the Pikes Peak Region. Because of our mission, artifacts and materials should help to document the history of Colorado Springs and the surrounding area. Objects and archival materials should have been made or used in the area and have some clear and specific connection to the history of the Pikes Peak Region. With this in mind, collections staff members selectively add to the collection. When examining potential donations, the staff asks the following questions:
- How does this object relate to the history of the Pikes Peak Region?
- What person, place, institution or event does this object help to document in the Pikes Peak Region?
- What is this object's history?
A collections staff member would be happy to talk to you about a potential artifact or archival donation. We know that your time is valuable to you, and in order to use it efficiently, please call or email one of the following staff members before bringing in a potential donation. Only collections staff members are authorized to accept materials for donation. By calling or emailing for an appointment, you will be sure that the appropriate staff member will be available to talk with you.
For donation of archival materials, please contact Leah Witherow, Archivist, at:

Loans to the Museum: The Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum follows standard accredited museum policies regarding loans. We do not take "long term" loans, loans for unspecified time periods, or that are not related to our exhibit plans. When we are creating a new exhibit, we may seek out artifacts that help us interpret the subject we are presenting. These loans are for a limited time, usually no more than 1 (one) year and are based on our needs as we have determined them. As a rule, we initiate contact with institutions and individuals from whom we want to barrow. We appreciate the interest that many have expressed in loaning items to us, but these rarely fit our requirements.

The TPS3831 and TPS3839 devices (both referred to as TPS383x) are ultralow current (150 nA, typical), voltage supervisory circuits that monitor a single voltage. Both devices initiate an active-low reset signal whenever the VDD supply voltage drops below the factory-trimmed reset threshold voltage. The reset output remains low for 200 ms (typical) after the VDD voltage rises above the threshold voltage and hysteresis. These devices are designed to ignore fast transients on the VDD pin. The TPS3831 device includes a manual reset input that forces RESET low when MR is low.
The ultralow current consumption of 150 nA makes these voltage supervisors ideal for use in low-power and portable applications. The TPS383x devices are specified to have the correct output logic state for supply voltages down to 0.6 V.
The TPS383x devices feature precision factory-trimmed threshold voltages and extremely low-power operation. The TPS3831 device is available in a 4-pin, 1-mm × 1-mm (DQN) X2SON package. The TPS3839 device is available in a 3-pin SOT23 (DBZ) package or a 4-pin, 1-mm × 1-mm (DQN) X2SON package.

Ethiopia: Floods - Apr 2016
Torrential rains and corresponding flash floods since late March have left at least 236,890 people displaced. This year's belg rains, though late in onset, were heavier than usual both in terms of intensity and geographic coverage. Additionally, the floods are happening on the back of nearly 18 months of drought that left communities' coping capacity weakened. (OCHA, 16 May 2016)
The most affected regions are Somali, Oromia, Southern Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples (SNNP), Afar, Amhara, and Harari – already severely affected by the El Niño drought. (ACAPS, 9 May 2016)
Recent flooding continues to displace people as well as damaging several water points. On 2 September 2016, the Ethiopia Humanitarian Country Team released a joint plan to support Government response to acute watery diarrhoea (AWD) in Ethiopia. The plan is aligned with the Government's National Preparedness and Response Plan for AWD and the revised 2016 Humanitarian Requirements Document (HRD). The AWD plan outlines activities in the health and WaSH domains requiring $22.4m to the end of 2016, which donors are encouraged to support. (OCHA, 12 Sep 2016)
Most people displaced by floods (91 per cent) returned to their area of origin, and may require further support to minimize seasonal displacement in the future. OCHA, 31 Oct 2016

Mike Sayers' comments on Chad Gerlach
And Mike Sayers, unlike when you trashed me on your blog, I'll invite you to actually share your opinion directly with Pappillon's readers and clarify your comments. Anything you'd like to say, email it over or leave it as a comment and it will be published unedited, in-full.
11 comments:
I don't think that commentary is overly negative.ReplyDelete
It seems that he's concerned about the guy, albeit in a somewhat condescending way.
P.S. - you need a poll for what will occur first: A Philly Cancellation Announcement, or a Rock Racing Folding Announcement.
Hi Burt. Thanks for taking the time to comment. I'm not willing to give Sayers the benefit of the doubt, because I've personally been the target of his vitriolic rants. Any concern he might have for Chad is trumped by what you rightly point out as condescension and what I think are sour grapes...Sayers is retired, and Chad has another chance to live the dream. Sayers' comments remind us why, if we can't say something nice about someone, we shouldn't say anything at all (but here in this blog we'll make an exception to that rule, so that we can give two thumbs down to Mike Sayers).ReplyDelete
Great idea on the poll. I'll try to figure out how to add that to the blog - will you do Pappillon the favor of promoting the poll through LAD, though?ReplyDelete
- Anonymous30 April, 2009 22:44
I don't know Sayers, but those comments are reasonable and intelligent to me, with the experience I have with substance abuse in my family.ReplyDelete
- Anonymous04 May, 2009 16:10
I too think Sayer's comments are on the up and up.ReplyDelete
very good posting. thank you. :)ReplyDelete
Sure thing, Bathmate. We can all wish Chad the best of luck with his sobriety and family. Good luck, Chad!ReplyDelete
And I still think Mike Sayers was wrong to discourage Chad from going to Europe at the start of 2009 season ... b/c Chad proved he could come back to top-level racing, certainly in the USA and at least not get shattered in Europe. Now, however, he must focus on the rest of his life. Bravo, Chad. Forza!ReplyDelete
It's a nice posting ,i like it ,ReplyDelete
thank you for this kind of posting,
this is a real good page.
Your posting is so valuable.ReplyDelete
Thanks for your posting.
I have to agree with most of the others that Sayers' comments ring true. Clearly, the two of you have issues and that will always color your impression of him and his of you, no doubt. As an outsider without that baggage, Sayers' comments have merit.

Thom Yorke is Shirtless
Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke meditates in the stand as he swims and relaxes on Ipanema beach in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on Thursday (March 19).
The 40-year-old British singer recently "snubbed" both Miley Cyrus and Kanye West.
Miley was disappointed Radiohead didn't want to meet her and joked, "I left [the Grammys] 'cause I was so upset. I wasn't going to watch. Stinkin' Radiohead! I'm gonna ruin them, I'm going to tell everyone."
Kanye ranted, "When he performed at the Grammys, I sat the f— down."
Thom most recently blogged, "Wish us all a safe journey if you still like us and you're not one of those people I have managed to offend by doing nothing. xx"
10+ pictures inside of shirtless Thom Yorke…

Difference between revisions of "Arusha"
Revision as of 16:18, 6 September 2013
Arusha is a city of approximately 400,000 people in Northeast Tanzania, East Africa. It is regarded as the gateway to the popular Northern Safari Circuit.
Arusha, also known as "A" Town by the locals, is situated at the foot of Mount Meru, Africa's 5th highest mountain. The altitude gives the city a pleasant climate and lush green environment.
Arusha is not a particularly attractive city in itself and is regarded by many visitors as little more than a necessary stopover before their safari starts in earnest. However, the natural charm of the Tanzanians and the buzz of a fast-growing city mean that Arusha has plenty to offer for those who are prepared to see beyond their air-conditioned safari trucks and satellite-TV hotel rooms.
Arusha is home to the UNICTR, the United Nations International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda [28]. It is also the site of the signing of the Arusha Declaration.
Get in
Arusha is served by two airports. Kilimanjaro International Airport (IATA: JRO) has regular flights to Amsterdam with KLM, and to Addis Ababa, Dar es Salaam, Zanzibar and Nairobi. Kilimanjaro Airport is approximately 60 km (45 min) from the city centre. A taxi ride costs US$50 but many airlines run a shuttle service for free or US$10. Arusha Municipal Airport (ARK) is on the outskirts of the city but only runs domestic flights, mostly to Zanzibar and Dar es Salaam, and charters. air viva offers regular flights between Arusha and Dar es Salaam, Zanzibar and Kilimanjaro.
Visas-on-arrival are available at Kilimanjaro International Airport for US$50, or US$100 for some nationalities.
Arusha can be reached by express coach from Nairobi (Kenya, 6 hr, daily 8.00am and 2.00pm from in front of Parkside Hotel, US$25), Dar es Salaam (12 hr), and Kampala (Uganda, 17 hr) with direct services also available from Mwanza, Tanga, and Lushoto. Some companies offer first-class tickets which are slightly more comfortable although it is worth noting that standards are generally comparable with most African bus services. Moshi can be reached in about one hour. There are various shuttle buses between Arusha and Moshi which are more comfortable than coaches.
Get around
The main mode of public transport is daladala, the ubiquitous minibuses which ply their trade on all the main routes in town. They are very cheap, TSH 300 (US$0.20) is the fixed price for any trip around town,(beware of those who quote more to foreigners). Daldala is very cramped and safety is a serious consideration. Accidents involving daladalas are frequent and usually with serious consequences for the passengers. Pickpocketing has occurred on locals and visitors in close quarters and can happen quickly; store valuables hands on in bags on your lap.
Taxis are plentiful and cheap; make sure to agree on a price before leaving for your destination (expect to pay no more than TSH 5,000 for a trip within the city centre, or TSH 8,000 for the outskirts, at any time of the day).
Car hire is possible; most companies prefer to provide their own drivers.
See and Do
Comfortable and enjoyable mount meru climbing would need professional mountain guide in addition to armed rangers. The role of mountain climbing guide is to provide information about mount meru like weather, wild animals available, birds and to support when summiting at mount meru. The Guide will also guide on acclimatization, altitude sickness and make sure food is prepared. Porters will also be helpful to carry food and support materials.
Most mountain guides and porters are employed by local tour operators, so your best bet is to search out a reputable tour operator and be put in touch with a suitable guide that way.
Other sight seeing places and things to do include are wildlife safari tours to Arusha National park located at slopes of Mount meru. Camel safaris is done at slopes of mount meru at Maasai village. Camel safaris offer great opportunity for wildlife safaris, maasai culture tour and adventures. At the slope of Mount meru, Kilimanjaro is visible in clear days without clouds
Keep in mind your guide may ask for donations to a charity, school or orphanage. Some dishonest guides might pocket the money, so it is advisable to give money directly to a reputable charity. The guide will give you that information.
Definitely something to try, if you can afford it. There are many types of trips for many budgets; usually the pricier ones get you out farther into the Serengeti, to places that are a little less touched by man. The less expensive excursions to reserves and parks are specialized, of a shorter duration, and worthwhile. If there's one trip that will change your perspective on life, it's an African safari.
Not all tour guides are knowledgeable on all topics. A field guide to your favorite pursuit, such as birding, which is popular with visitors, is a worthwhile idea.
Beware of paying over market price, you will be offered the same accommodations as the person who is paying regular price.
Arusha has a wide variety of restaurants and informal eating places, with a predominance of Indian cuisine. Meals range from less than US$ 1 for street fare to US$15 for main courses at the high-end hotels.
Arusha has many interesting bars and restaurants. As a rule the best food is Indian, thanks to the large sub-continental community in the city. Liquid Blue in Njiro and Big Bite on the Swahili Rd are among the most popular Indian restaurants. For 'Nyama Choma', or Tanzanian roast meat, Nick's Bar in Njiro is also popular. There are countless local bars which generally welcome foreigners. The less adventurous stick to Via Via, on the grounds of the old German fort, which is an interesting cultural centre and part of an NGO which trains locals in the hospitality industry.
There are plenty of options for bars and restaurants for those who for some reason seem to wish to avoid locals altogether; these places are very easy to find.
For nightclubs, the Velocity, Colobus Club, Maasai Camp, Triple A, 777 and Polygon Triangle are popular with locals and foreigners alike. They start late and finish very, very late (or early). Pickpockets have been known to operate and all these bars are popular with local sex workers; caution is advised.
Arusha has plentiful accommodation to cater to all across the scale. There are many hotels in the centre of the town, including the international-grade Impala Hotel and the Arusha Hotel (see below). You won't get any surprises in this sort of accommodation. At the highest end of the scale there are numerous luxurious lodges in and around the city, some of which offer stunning scenery and the best standard of accommodation.
Be sure to avoid touts (people hired by hotels/hostels to get travellers to stay there). If you are travelling as a couple, a good idea is for one person to sit in a lobby or restaurant with the bags, while the other looks at the rooms. You are likely to get a cheaper price without the bags, and not be targeted by sneaky touts (they signal reception or hang around behind you) which will raise the price US$5-10 for you for their commission.
For budget travellers, many recommend the Maasai Camp (about 45 minutes walk from the city centre) which offers tent sites and bandas, a full service restaurant with a good selection of dishes (seafood, pizza, pastas, famous enchiladas), and bar. Many begin safaris here. There is a car workshop for those with car problems. This is popular with overland long distance haul truckers. Views of Mt. Kilimanjaro and Mt. Meru. Nature walks. Another is the Snake Park (which is in a village called Meserani, about 16 km out on the Dodoma Rd) on the route to Ngorongo Crater and the Serengeti. They have fully equipped campsites, a BBQ area and fully stocked bar. Pet a crocodile, learn about the most venomous and dangerous snakes. Ride a camel. These are both lively locations with popular bars and good services at a very low price.
For a quieter stay, Centre House, run by Camaldolese Benedictine nuns (of suffragan diocese orders in Africa deriving from the Patriarchate of Lisbon; these orders are also found in Brazil, India, Poland, and Columbia) is located a few minutes walk from the clock tower and offers basic rooms, both dormitory style and smaller rooms. Food and drinks including beer are available.
NOTE: In all lower end pricing accommodations, especially those shared with strangers, you sometimes have a greater risk of theft. Ask to store your valuables and ID in their safe when you leave, or take them with you in a concealed clothing pouch to deter pickpockets.
Stay safe
Arusha is a moderately safe city by African standards, though precautions should be observed. It is not advisable to walk at night, alone or in groups - cabs are plentiful but fares should always be agreed upon at the start of a journey (cabs have no meters, making it all too easy to exaggerate fares at the end of a journey). Avoid taking motorcycle taxis, especially at night in front of clubs. Thieves easily use this opportunity to rob people. In the city centre (on Sokoine road) and in certain areas (along old Moshi road) there are frequent attacks on tourists, especially when they are walking with their backpacks/bags. Make sure that you take a cab when you are arriving/leaving from Arusha (as gangs usually know when and where backpackers arrive) and avoid taking a bag when walking in town. Foreigners are virtually guaranteed to be approached by touts. This can be intimidating, especially when they latch onto and follow you, but they are usually harmless. In this case do not stop, slow down or make eye contact; simply say "hapana asante" (no thank you) if they ask or offer you anything. You will save yourself a lot of bother if you do not engage them. When walking in any part of the city beyond the central district, it is advisable to take a guide. The bridge on Old Moshi Rd is a particularly notorious mugging spot, and although often patrolled by police it should be avoided if on foot.

In the new Lifetime original movie "Lizzie Borden Took an Ax," the protagonist's name is uttered in full many times throughout the film's 87 minutes. She isn't called "Lizzie" or "Miss Borden" but "Lizzie Borden." The notorious name strikes tactical blows on the viewer's psyche, conjuring bits of legend, myth and contested story lines about the accused murderess' storied life.
The movie, which airs Jan. 25, stars Christina Ricci, last seen on TV in the short-lived ABC series "Pan Am," a 1960s period piece. In film she was most recently the voice of Vexy in "Smurfs 2." She is also the voice of Yellow in the upcoming animated feature "The Hero of Color City" and is set to appear in writer-director Paul Duddridge's "Mother's Day," which boasts an all-star cast including Sharon Stone and Susan Sarandon.
Playing Lizzie Borden, a historical figure firmly lodged in the pop culture canon, is a decidedly dark turn for Ricci. She says she was attracted to the role because of the interesting spin put on it by veteran TV director Nick Gomez ("Damages," "Burn Notice," "The Blacklist").
"We wanted to come at it from the perspective of we know she's guilty and this is the way she behaves afterward," Ricci says over the phone from New York, adding that she believes Lizzie really did commit the crimes.
The real-life Lizzie Borden was acquitted of the murders of her father and stepmother, Andrew and Abby Borden, during a trial in 1893. Nonetheless, the sensational nature of the case — her father's skull was crushed with 11 vicious whacks and her stepmother with 19 — and the national press spectacle it engendered, caused her to become an outcast in her hometown of Fall River, Mass.
Ricci's Lizzie is rail thin, a look that makes her big eyes pop in her head in a spooky way. She is cunning and contained, and has a clearly sexualized relationship with her father. She even commits his murder in the nude. This bit of sensationalism is in keeping with the general feel of the movie, which uses modern rock 'n' roll as a somewhat jarring soundtrack a la Baz Luhrmann in "The Great Gatsby."
To play the role, Ricci did quite a bit of historical research and glommed onto an idea that she felt made the most sense.
"One of the main theories is that the father was living for a long time with his two daughters as wives, so that was disrupted when the stepmother came in," says Ricci. "With the amount of rage directed at her you have to wonder why. So the theory is that Lizzie hated her for replacing her role with her father, or that the stepmother came in and was happy to let the father continue and not be the savior that these girls needed."
Lizzie's sister, Emma, is played by Clea DuVall ("Argo") and her lawyer by Billy Campbell ("The Killing"). Both roles are juicy, particularly because Emma seems to know what Lizzie did. The second half of the movie takes place in the courtroom where Campbell argues that it is inconceivable that a woman would be capable of committing such a heinous crime.
That argument is what stirs jurors the most when it comes to acquitting Lizzie, who is seen sneaking out of her house by oil lamp days before the murder to attend a raucous party.
"Aren't you a Sunday school teacher?" asks one jealous girl.
"Only on Sundays," Lizzie replies coyly.
This exchange reflects the overall tone of the dialogue, which is full of innuendo that Lizzie is not at all what she seems.
Even though Ricci plays Lizzie as a clear sociopath, she feels that the real Lizzie had good reason to be angry and violently disturbed. "I think if you look at the way she behaved in court, she very much seemed like a victim," she says. "I think that's the key. She saw herself as a victim and nobody would help her, so she finally helped herself."
Although the truth may never come to light about what really happened on that exceptionally hot day in August 1892, "Lizzie Borden Took an Ax" helps ensure that future generations will continue to wonder — and to hum the eerie children's rhyme that has been passed down for a century.
"Lizzie Borden took an ax and gave her mother 40 whacks; when she saw what she had done she gave her father 41."

Reviewed by Ian K. (age 9)
I LOVE this book. I like exciting, interesting, and funny books so I chose this book. I liked the part when they thought of a solution. It was really interesting. My favorite character was Klaus. He is very smart. This book is a part of the Baudelaire series. They all connect.
I recommend this book to ages 8+ because of some hard words. If you like exciting, funny, and interesting books then you should read this book.

The Draper Dry-Erase A-Frame Heavy Duty Easel, DR990 stands rock-solid on wobble-proof legs, yet, collapse easily for transport or storage. Numerous features ensure effective, trouble-free visual presentations time after time.
