From Ynet:
Jewish volunteers forced to pay for work permit
Young Jews who come from abroad to serve in IDF have to pay fee of NIS 145 for work permit, wait hours at Interior Ministry
Young Jews who come to Israel to volunteer to the IDF have to pay a fee of NIS 145 (about $35) for a work permit and have to wait hours at the Interior Ministry where the special visa is issued.
David Zelinsky, 19, of Brooklyn, came to Israel to volunteer at the IDF's Nahal haredi unit.
"I waited in the line for four hours. I had no money because I did not know I had to pay a fee. I went to get money and when I returned my turn was taken and I had to wait again," he said.
"That will not prevent me from volunteering and I do not want a special treatment for my volunteering, but on the other hand I do not wish to feel like I am a burden on the State."
Shoshi Rivkin, a project manager in the Bnei Akiva movement, said that young Jewish volunteers were shouted at and reprimanded by staff members at the Interior Ministry.
"Is this how the State of Israel treats those who want to contribute their time, body and soul to its well-being," said Rivkin.
Delegates at the Netsah Yehuda movement who established the haredi Nahal unit called on the Interior Ministry to exempt young Jewish volunteers from the work permit fee.
The Interior Ministry said in response, "We utterly reject attempts to stain the ministry with petty and false claims while deliberately distorting the facts."
The ministry added that its staff treat the volunteers with respect and appreciate their contribution.
"While all visa seekers must book appointments two months in advance, these volunteers can come without an appointment and therefore they have to wait," the ministry added.
Bagelblogger: Wow thats quite exceptional treatment. You get to not make an appointment, and avoid a two month wait when you have to pay for your work permit when you're a volunteer? . . . only a bureaucrat would not see the pettiness in that.

Hand-held excimer laser from Norwood
This one's a medical gadget; apparently. Doctor's must get to use all the seriously fun gadgets as well as their chrome-plated tools that wouldn't look out of place in a butcher's shop.
It's an Er:YAG hand-held laser, which is used in "IV cannulation". Being the ignoramus that I am I didn't know what IV cannulation was so I checked in Wikipedia. It seems that it's a medical procedure used to cut into the skin so you can insert an intra-venous drip. But I'm not a doctor; so don't blame me if you agree to an IV cannulation and s/he shoves a big probe up your bottom!
The hand-held laser itself is only used to remove a few top layers from the skin; a technique know as laser ablation. The removal of a few outer layers is enough to allow a localised anaesthetic cream to work faster than normal before the juicy, big drip needle goes in.
This is a laser gadget that wouldn't look out of place on a Star Trek set though – I hope it's permanently set on "stun"!
The Norwood Abbey LAD-01 Er:YAG laser. Found via Med Gadget. The Norwood site uses frames so it's not easy to post a link to a relevant page, but you can download this PDF document for more details of the Norwood LAD laser [Thanks to Scrubs Gallery and their Medical Uniforms (somebodies got to make them I suppose) ].

There is low profit margin on entry level cars that manufacturers sell, therefore, many manufacturers do not compete in this segment and as a result buyers do not have many options to choose from. These cars generally cater to the needs of the aspiring first time car buyers. Until recently, it was only Maruti Suzuki which was offering cars in this segment. However, now, even the second biggest car manufacturer – Hyundai, also competes with its Eon in this segment. We do a specification comparison of the cars and see which one is better.
Hyundai Eon Vs Maruti Suzuki Alto 800
The specification sheet has been prepared by comparing the Hyundai Eon Sportz (Petrol) with the Maruti Alto 800 VXI. Click to compare full features Eon Vs Maruti Suzuki Alto 800
Hyundai Eon Vs Maruti Suzuki Alto 800 (Design and Exteriors)
Hyundai Eon is good looking entry level hatchback segment. The little car is sharp and edgy looking with lines all across it body. The car indeed looks premium, taking into account the price that it comes at. There are long swept-back headlamps at the front. The fog lamps and air scoops present in the bumper further enhance the front fascia of the car. The car is indeed very compact with the length of the car just being 3495mm and width at 1500mm.
Eon does not offer alloy wheels, instead it offers full wheel covers with some trims. The wheel size also varies according to the trim. The base and mid level variants; D Lite, D Lite Plus and Era gets 12-inch wheels, while the Magna, Magna Plus and Sportz variants get larger 13-inch wheels.
The Alto 800 manages to retain a very conventional and contemporary shape and is a cute looking small car. The car is smaller than the Eon in every respect. The car has been designed on the old platform of Alto. The front fascia of the car is marked by a small grille just between the bumper and bonnet. The bumper also has a hexagonal grille which resembles the Figo. A pair of protruding headlights carries turn indicators at the top which looks smart.
Unlike, the Eon, there are no fog lights on offer on the car. The side of the car carries sharp shoulder crease that runs from front end to the rear end. The car comes equipped with 12-inch wheels across all its variants. The rear section of the car has small windscreen. The bulge on the centre of the tail gate carries the Suzuki logo which helps to break the monotony. Overall, the car looks cheap and is nowhere in the league of Eon in terms of style.
Hyundai Eon Vs Maruti Suzuki Alto 800 (Interiors and Features)
The Hyundai has done a great job in crafting the interiors of the car. The fit and finish of the buttons, plastics and design feels top-class, especially when you consider the cost of the car. The car has a tall boy design and there is sufficient head room for all passengers. The cabin space in the Eon is much better than the Alto 800.
The boot space of the Eon is better at 215 litres than the Alto 800 which offers 177 litres. However, if you purchase the LPG/CNG versions of the car, the boot space would reduce even further.
Both the cars come equipped with power steering, power windows at the front, child safety locks, engine immobilizer, rear seat belts, cup holders, remote trunk opener, remote fuel lid opener and central locking.The Eon comes with a two tone beige and black interiors which look sporty. Whereas the Alto 800 uses all beige interiors with silver inserts which provides a roomy feeling to the passengers but does not look as sporty as the interiors present on Eon.
The Eon comes equipped with a 2 DIN audio system - CD/MP3/FM with 2 speakers, USB and Aux-in compatibility. The Alto 800 on the other hand offers only radio with USB and Aux-in connectivity.
Hyundai Eon Vs Maruti Suzuki Alto 800 (Engine and Transmission)
The Eon comes with two engine choices the 814cc three cylinder SOHC petrol engine that delivers 55bhp at 5500rpm and a torque of 76Nm at 4000rpm. The 1 litre engine delivers 68bhp of power at 6200rpm and 94.14Nm of torque at 3500rpm. Both the engines use a 5-speed manual transmission to deliver power to the wheels. The version of the car we have compared comes fitted with an 814cc engine.
The Alto 800 comes with only one engine option - a 796 cc engine that delivers 47.3bhp at 6000rpm and 69Nm at 3500rpm. The power to the wheels is delivered via 5-speed manual transmission. Eon as well as Alto 800 comes with alternative fuel options – The Eon comes with LPG and Alto 800 with CNG. The version that we have compared do not have alternative fuel options.
Hyundai Eon Vs Maruti Suzuki Alto 800 (Safety features and Mileage)
The Eon uses disc brakes at front and drum brakes at rear. The top variant, Sportz, offers features like central locking, keyless entry, power door locks, driver airbag, rear seat belts, engine immobilizer, child safety locks and anti-theft device. The Maruti Suzuki Alto 800 like the Eon uses disc brakes at front and drum brakes at rear. The VXI variant offers central locking, child safety locks, driver airbag – as optional, rear seat belts, engine immobilizer and anti-theft device.
The smaller capacity engines offer an impressive mileage advantage and since both these cars come equipped with smaller capacity engines, the benefit is clearly visible. The Eon promises to deliver 17.0kmpl in the city and 21.1kmpl on highways. The Alto 800 on the other hand is only slightly better it delivers 22.74kmpl on highways and 17.0kmpl in the city.
It can't be said if the entry level segment would see more competing cars in near future. The available number of options that buyers have is indeed very few. The Alto 800 which replaced the old Maruti 800 is indeed a better car in many respects. However, standing alongside the Eon, the car looks cheap.
Even though the Eon is marginally expensive, we prefer it over the Alto 800 and consider it as the winner since it ticks all the boxes right and does not look cheap.

TINSLEY Mortimer's reality show is not living up to its billing. The CW project claims to "lift the cur tain on New York's most talked-about 'Park Avenue Princess' and her young, elite society friends" — but we hear none of Mortimer's friends want anything to do with it. Her half-brother Peter Davis said over the weekend on Facebook that he has "zero interest in playing a warped, twisted version of myself on television." We also hear that Zani Gugelmann and Dani Stahl turned down starring roles. "The only person definitely on board is [sister] Dabney Mercer," says our source. A message left for producer Andrew Glassman was not returned.

New York rapper The Kidd Creole was arrested for allegedly stabbing a homeless man. He has since been charged with second degree murder according to Essence.
According to the Associated Press, police say the 57 year old rapper stabbed the victim several times in the torso area. The incident reportedly took place Monday evening in Manhattan.
A spokesman from the NYPD said The Kidd Creole, whose real name is Nathaniel Glover, allegedly pulled out an unidentified object and stabbed the victim in the chest twice and then once more in the stomach. The victim was found on the sidewalk and pronounced dead at the hospital.
Glover, who made his name in the 70s alongside Grandmaster Flash, has reportedly confessed to the police.

Tap the Power of Customer Feedback
In 2010, there is no excuse for keeping your marketing insight languishing in a silo, away from your core business processes.
Thanks to today's Web-based technologies, you have an unprecedented number of opportunities to generate real business value from such insight.
By embracing a customer-feedback program, you can gain insight into customer attitudes and learn important truths about buying behavior as well as the evolving attitudes that will determine future buying behavior.
Understanding customer attitudes enables you to act quickly to prevent customer churn. Additionally, you can maximize cross-selling opportunities.
Marketing departments can use a customer-feedback program to drive tailored marketing campaigns and strengthen the relationship between brand and customer. Such programs are not just about making customers happy; they deliver real commercial value, too.
By implementing a feedback program, you initiate a two-way conversation, helping your customers become entrenched within your brand— from product creation to response to complaints.
The increased consumer engagement forges tighter purchasing relationships and builds significant brand value. The constant communication also provides an excellent platform for the creation of personalized, relevant promotions, creating a win-win that further builds the relationship.
Moreover, as you capture customer experiences and embed the resulting insight into your business, you are able to make better-informed business decisions.
Learn How to Share
Few organizations today have created the tightly integrated framework required to maximize the value of customer feedback companywide. In many cases, feedback data sits in a series of silos. Keeping it completely separate from other customer data reduces its value to little more than "mildly interesting."
The marketing team's lack of access to customer data means that irrespective of customer-relationship management (CRM) and marketing-resource management (MRM) investments, Marketing's interaction with the business remains, at best, as provider of sporadic leads to the sales team.
Time Is of the Essence
Timing is crucial to getting the most from the feedback you gather. If a customer's poor experience with a service representative leads that customer to defect to a competitor, there is little point in contacting that customer three months later. The opportunity has been missed.
If you had gained insight into that customer's attitude when the problem occurred, with alerts to the relevant customer-complaint team, the issue could have been resolved immediately and the defection avoided.
Volumes of evidence show increased loyalty among customers whose issues were resolved successfully. Improved customer retention and increased loyalty: What's not to like?
Marketing Team Harnesses Customer Insight
Timely, focused surveys can also transform the speed, relevance, and value of product-development campaigns and foster unprecedented customer loyalty and commitment. Survey information is critical to infusing the value of customer attitudes directly into your business.
Consider the following example of loyal customers who stood ready to share their experiences:
Egg, the world's largest online-only bank and now a Citigroup division, used its feedback program to reduce an innovative product's time to market from up to one year to five weeks.
Egg surveyed 30,000 customers about the proposed customer proposition. A key success factor was that Egg's customers were already accustomed to regular, personalized online contact.
The company had been using online-survey technology for five years to manage the customer experience. The customized nature of those surveys—with customer name and recent activity— led to higher response rates.
* * *
Building a program that enables you to continually take your customers' pulse and build an ongoing dialogue in times of trouble is crucial to aligning your business with your customers' attitudes.
To avoid generic feedback that you can't act on, ensure that the pulse-check happens in conjunction with key customer interactions.
For example, a retailer feedback request should coincide with a purchase, return, or a contact-center inquiry. With the right tools and approach, you can use an alert system to ensure immediate action.
Only by combining real-time understanding of customer attitudes with true business integration can you fully leverage the good work done in creating a customer dialogue.
Silos are so 2009, so get integrating!

Fun , Short and Challenging !
Yoni | Israel | 09/13/2008
(5 out of 5 stars)
"This workout is short (22 minutes without shavasana) but it really packs a punch in this short time , in "Creative Roots" she starts with yogic squat and wide angle stretch which she'll repeat throughout this 13 minute segment with different variations , there are also hero 2 poses and side angle poses with a lot of fluid transitions between them and because most of the time you are in those positions it is really challenging for the lower body, she even demonstrates a transition from side angle to an advanced one arm balancing pose , but you don't have to do it if you can't. She finishes with a quadriceps stretch in cat position (kneeling bow). The second segment "Creative Core" is 9 minutes and is a lot of fun , you'll start on your back doing fluid bridge pose then a single legged bridge with a fun rocking move ,you can see a clip of it on youtube. Then she move into half table pose and flow right into side plank and from there to forearm plank and then into a straight arm plank and she repeats those plank pushups a few times and does this whole series of planks on the other side. It ends with a short shavasana. The scenery is of course gorgeous as in all of her DVD's. There is also a bonus segment from Fluid Power "Foundation Vinyasa" that can be used as a great warm up. This is another great addition my Shiva Rea DVD collection can't wait for "Surf Yoga Soul" , her next DVD , to be out ."
Not up to the Quality I have come to Expect From Shiva Rea
Maddy Avena | N. CA | 09/22/2008
(3 out of 5 stars)
"Meh. I did the workout this morning, starting with the bonus track from Fluid power, followed by the lower body flow and the abdominal section. The lower body flow had about four things that were new and new is good, but they weren't very exciting: leaning forward in yogic squat, drawing arms back behind you then forward, reaching in front of you. OK, that was new.
If you are new to Shiva Rea, I think you would be lost during the very brief "do your own flow" piece at the end of the lower body section. The warrior II to reverse warrior to side angle is really no different than the sequence in the long standing pose flow on Fluid Power. Just Shiva's outfit and the Kauaii backdrop are new.
The ab section, if you already have a strong core, is OK. I like the rocking bridge flow, but that, to me, is the best part of the whole DVD: 1-2 minutes. I could do the rocking bridge flow for probably 10 minutes before I even felt it. The abdominal section just ends as if they ran out of money, time or attention span and you are just dumped into Shavasana, which is only 2 minutes.
I own all of Shiva's CDs/"audiobooks", Creative Core Abs 1, Fluid Power, Yoga Shakti and Yoga Trance Dance. I feel that this production is nowhere near as well done as any of the other products of hers I own and use. I will be incorporating a couple of the abdominal moves into a much longer abdominal sequence I do on my own, but I have to say, I'm disappointed."
Another gem from Shiva Rea.
Mary | Philadelphia, PA | 11/30/2008
(5 out of 5 stars)
"For the reviewer that didn't feel this in their core, I'd love to know what DVD they were following! If poses were done correctly, in proper alignment, this is a great core workout. No, you won't find "crunches" in this workout, but for people familiar with Shiva's style, crunches are way too boring.
And how about those glutes?! I was totally "feeling it" the next day! The repetition did not bother me, as I knew I was going into a Core/Lower Body workout, rather than a typical vinyasa. With that being said, even though this was not a vinyasa, she still brought her signature "flow" style to the workout. Poses were transitioned beautifully and with strength and grace.
As is typical of all of her DVD's the setting was stunning, and the quality was high. Well done Shiva! I can't wait for the "Upper Body" version to come out in 2009.
Oh - and so you're not surprised - it's a short DVD (around 20 minutes), but don't worry - you'll feel it. I find it nice when I don't have a ton of time, or a perfect primer to another yoga practice."
Creative is apt
R.R. | Chennai, India | 03/14/2009
(5 out of 5 stars)
"My first Shiva dvd was Yoga Shakti, her more purist yoga effort. It is one of my favorite yoga dvds of all time. It stands out as unique in the overcrowded vinyasa dvd market. It is also in my opinion the best produced, most beautiful yoga dvd ever. My next was Creative Core Abs which I did not fancy. I thought it was fresh and well produced, but it just wasnt my style. I hesistated with the Creative Core Lower and Upper Body dvds because I did not something similar to Creative Core Abs. I was prompted by the reviews to take a chance on them and I am so glad I got them. I did both the lower and upper body today and found them fascinating including the core sections. This is real yoga and yet it is truly creative. I see the influence of classical Indian dance in the way Shiva "flows" from pose to pose - especially in her arm / hand movements. The choreography of the vinyasa on the lower body video and the core section is truly beautiful without straying too far from classic yoga asana which I thought happned with Creative Core Abs. As a workout, Lower Body is enjoyable and manages to build quite a burn in the quads and hamstrings. My only minor quibble is that I wish the yogic squats section had been a bit longer. Thank you amazon reviewers, especially Yoni."


text: RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) -- John Bunting is out as North Carolina's football coach but will remain with the Tar Heels through the rest of this season, school officials said Sunday night. North Carolina visits Notre Dame, Nov. 4. Bunting met with athletic director Dick Baddour earlier in the day and was told he would not return next season. The players were informed of the decision during an evening meeting, and school officials said Bunting and Baddour would discuss the decision further during a news conference today. Bunting, a former linebacker at North Carolina, was largely blamed for the Tar Heels' miserable season in which they have yet to defeat a Division I-A opponent. "I am disappointed and of course I don't agree with the decision, but I know I must accept it," Bunting said. "My love for this great university has not and never will waver. I am proud of the many great things we have accomplished over the past six years. We simply have not won enough games this year." North Carolina (1-6, 0-4 Atlantic Coast Conference) is 0-6 against I-A teams this season and was coming off a 23-0 loss at struggling Virginia. Statistically, the Tar Heels also rank among the worst offenses and defenses in I-A. Bunting has three years remaining on his contract, which pays $286,200 annually. He is 25-42 in six seasons at North Carolina and has an overall record of 63-56-2 in 11 seasons. "Changing coaches is never a pleasant experience, but it is even more difficult when you consider the character and integrity of someone like John Bunting," Baddour said in a statement released by the school.

Shadows of the Damned is Not Suitable for Children
When Goichi Suda and Shinji Mikami team up to make a game, you know it will leave a lasting impression. Killer 7 was the last game to receive the combined talent of these two renowned game designers. Independently, they have worked on some hard-hitting titles, such as Vanquish and No More Heroes. ESRB has just released the rating on their upcoming game, Shadows of the Damned, which will give you a chuckle if you enjoyed the humor in God Hand.
ESRB has given Shadows of the Damned a Mature rating. Here is an excerpt from the ESRB explaining why the game deserves that rating:
This is a third-person shooter in which players assume the role of Garcia Hotspur, a demon hunter who must retrieve his kidnapped girlfriend from Hell. Players use a former demon that can transform into various weapons (e.g., pistols, torches, shotguns, machine guns) to kill demonic creatures in underworld cities. Combat is highlighted by loud cries of pain, realistic gunfire, and large explosions. The violence is often accompanied by blood effects: large blood splashes occur when enemies are hit, and some demons explode into bloody gibs when killed; cutscenes also depict the decapitation of boss creatures, resulting in fountain-like sprays of blood. In one level, players can view a handful of strip club–themed billboards (e.g., 'Strippers,' 'Sex Parade'). In another sequence, a giant female character gyrates while cupping her exposed breasts; moaning sounds can be heard in the background. The words 'f**k,' 'sh*t,' and 'd*ck' can be heard in the dialogue.
I would be surprised if the ESRB staff member was able to keep a straight face while writing that description. On June 7th, gamers will be able to find out why that giant female is gyrating.

Microsoft today released 12 updates to Windows and Office fixing 22 separate vulnerabilities. One of the updates, fixing 2 of the vulnerabilities, affects Microsoft Visio. The remaining updates and vulnerabilities affect various versions of Windows.
3 of the updates contain at least one vulnerability rated "critical" on at least one platform. One in particular (MS11-007) presents the possibility of kernel mode compromise of the system.
- MS11-003: Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer4 remote code execution vulnerabilities are fixed. Two of them have been publicly disclosed, including a variation on the insecure DLL loading issue that we have been seeing fixed for months.
- MS11-006: Vulnerability in Windows Shell Graphics Processing Could Allow Remote Code ExecutionThis update fixes a publicly-disclosed vulnerability the handling of specially crafted thumbnail images by the Windows Shell graphics processor.
- MS11-007: Vulnerability in the OpenType Compact Font Format (CFF) Driver Could Allow Remote Code ExecutionA flaw in the Windows OpenType Compact Font Format (CFF) driver could allow remote code execution via specially crafted OpenType fonts. This update affects kernel mode code and is therefore more dangerous than the other two.
9 updates have maximum rating of "important":
- MS11-004: Vulnerability in Internet Information Services (IIS) FTP Service Could Allow Remote Code ExecutionA publicly-disclosed flaw in the IIS FTP service could allow remote code execution through a malicious command. The FTP service is not installed by default.
- MS11-005: Vulnerability in Active Directory Could Allow Denial of ServiceImproper validation of service principal names (SPN) could lead to collisions and subsequent DOS.
- MS11-008: Vulnerabilities in Microsoft Visio Could Allow Remote Code ExecutionAll versions of Visio are vulnerable to two remote code execution vulnerabilities exploitable through malicious data files.
- MS11-009: Vulnerability in JScript and VBScript Scripting Engines Could Allow Information DisclosureA memory corruption could lead the scripting engines to disclose information which could be used to abuse the system further.
- MS11-010: Vulnerability in Windows Client/Server Run-time Subsystem Could Allow Elevation of PrivilegeThe CSRSS terminates processes when a user logs off. A vulnerability in this function could allow an attacker to run code which could monitor the behavior of users who logged on to the system subsequently.
- MS11-011: Vulnerabilities in Windows Kernel Could Allow Elevation of PrivilegeAll Windows versions are affected by a flaw in the interaction of drivers with the kernel. Another flaw affects only Windows XP.
- MS11-012: Vulnerabilities in Windows Kernel-Mode Drivers Could Allow Elevation of Privilege5 separate vulnerabilities.
- MS11-013: Vulnerabilities in Kerberos Could Allow Elevation of PrivilegeTwo separate vulnerabilities are involved. The elevation of privilege bug had been publicly-disclosed. The other allows spoofing.
- MS11-014: Vulnerability in Local Security Authority Subsystem Service Could Allow Local Elevation of PrivilegeMaliciously-crafted authentication requests could cause LSASS to elevate the user's privileges.
Microsoft also released a group of updates designated as "non-security" including one which changes AutoRun behavior.

Despair not 99 percenters, too much money is bad for you
Who wants to be a billionaire?
You do. So does pretty much everyone else.
Having more money than you could ever spend would make your life easier and more pleasant.
You wouldn't have to work at a job you don't like. You could pay someone else to rake your leaves and wash your clothes.
You wouldn't live in a small house -- you'd buy a castle with a heated swimming pool.
For a vacation, you'd invite your buddies to your own private island and have the butler bring you drinks on the beach.
That would be great for a weekend. But over a lifetime, it would probably destroy you.
I recently finished a work project that brought me in contact with some seriously wealthy people. The job was fascinating, and everyone treated me really well.
But despite their good manners, a deeper look into these people's lives suggests that, for them, money is a little like junk food. It tastes great, but it hasn't made them happier or healthier.
The people who made the money in the first place usually devoted every waking hour to accumulating wealth. They slept in their offices, spent every holiday at work and barely knew their families.
The children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren who inherited that money were born into a world where, for them, nothing really matters.
They're not doing well in school? No problem. They'll never need a job.
They argued with a friend or a spouse? They can buy another one with gifts, trips and other perks.
At first glance, it might sound great to never need a job or go to school.
But human beings are fundamentally lazy. We don't do well because we're virtuous. We do well because we have to, and along the way some of us grow into people you'd let your sister date.
We learn the real self-esteem of people who have skills. We set and achieve goals, learn to weather adversity, to fall down and get up again. We learn what matters and what doesn't.
All that trying and learning is what builds our lives. But it's not a painless process, so most people who can buy their way out of it do just that.
They don't develop many skills, unless you consider spending money a skill. They may not ever have the genuine satisfaction that comes from facing a problem and solving it with their wits.
Very wealthy people don't really know whether their friends and spouses love them for themselves or for their money, and they often run through relationships.
Because they don't have real-life skills, their children have a tough time learning how to navigate the world without using wealth as a cushion. In many cases, the parents are emotional children themselves, no wiser or mature than the progeny they're raising.
The circumstances of modest success, by contrast, are the life-skills equivalent of eating your vegetables. They're good for you.
My husband and I share a car, so we have to talk about where we're going and when and how high a priority that trip is as we negotiate the car's use.
In other words, our circumstances force us to be fair, friendly negotiators who have a solid sense of what's important to the other person. It's good for our marriage.
When we travel, we often stay with friends, most of whom live in similarly modest circumstances.
We can be pretty sure that those friends like us for ourselves. Our private island certainly does not seduce them, though my husband does make good pancakes.
Sure, there are a few people who turn great wealth into opportunities for philanthropy, invention or other pursuits that are good for them and for other people.
That's just another way of saying that they've found stuff that matters to them and made it a central part of their lives.
If you're strong enough to find purposeful work without any circumstantial pressure to get your act together, you might be a wonderful billionaire.
Such people, however, are few and far between. Enjoy the money you've got, and be glad for the financial realities that forced you to grow up.

Citrus-infused oil serves several culinary purposes. It's widely used as a finishing oil for drizzling over freshly roasted seafood, as a condiment for antipasto or bruschetta and in vinaigrettes. Lime oil uses the same preparation method as other citrus oils – simply steeping the zest in warm olive oil followed by straining. Tahitian limes are ideal for lime-infused oil -- common to American produce markets, they have the bold, pronounced flavor of the Mexican varietal tempered with the sweetness of the Key lime. To add exotic, herbaceous notes to lime oil's flavor, add kaffir lime leaves to the mix.
Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat and wash and dry the limes. You need 1 lime for every cup of olive oil. Remove the zest from the limes using a zester or paring knife.
Add the lime zest and kaffir lime leaves, if using, to the heated oil. Heat the zest and lime leaves for 10 minutes. Remove the saucepan and allow the zest and leaves to steep, covered, for 2 1/2 hours.
Strain the oil through a fine-mesh sieve into an airtight food-storage container. Add the strained zest to the oil as a garnish, if desired. Keep lime-infused oil up to two weeks, unrefrigerated, in a cool, dry place.

Roscoe Holcomb is one of those artists—like Dock Boggs, Mississippi John Hurt and others—who brought authenticity to the early '60s folk revival. Unlike the type of artists skewed in A Mighty Wind, Holcomb was indisputably "the real thing." The man learned his songs first-hand from others, the only exception on this collection being "I Am A Man Of Constant Sorrow" (from a Ralph Stanley 78 rpm record). Holcomb lived through hardship but remained unique, unaffected and intense. His music was the high lonesome sound incarnate, his repertoire including blues and mountain ballads to Old Baptist chants. His archetypal Appalachian music was irregular and erratic, unlike bluegrass, which tends to be hammered down with great precision. Although Holcomb could play slide guitar, harmonica and fiddle, he mostly sang while accompanying himself on banjo or guitar. The title of this album is Bob Dylan's description of him; Eric Clapton also cited him as his favorite (country) musician. Those endorsements are borne out by this retrospective.

text: Whoops. There was a typo (which a number of people kindly pointed out to me today) in my post about plant-based proteins vs animal- based proteins. Referring to hypercalciurea, which can lead to osteoporosis, I accidentally transposed "animal" for "plant"... > that clearly indicate that animal-based protein - particularly > those from soy - are not likely to result in this problem. obviously, I meant to say that plant-based proteins do not contribute to this problem (when protein levels are reasonable). For those who worry that a plant-based diet will not allow for enough protein (or iron, or vitamins or minerals), fear not. All essential nutritional elements (with the possible exception of vitamin B12) are available in abundance in a well balanced vegetarian diet. An excellent reference is the Position Paper on Vegetarian Diets of the American Dietetic Association, the largest and most well recognized professional group for dieticians and nutritionists.

UFOINFO Sighting Form Report
Name: Michael
Location: St. Paul/ Minnesota/ U.S.
Date: 01/15/05 12:00 - 2:00
Approach Direction: It was in the Eastern Sky
Departure Direction: It never departed, it stayed there doing these things almost all night till we got bored of it and went in.
Witness Direction: East
Description: I was siting out on a lake with a friend of mine trying to pass time around 1:30 in the morning. We were in my car, and I was rolling my cigarette. I looked over to my friend who had his eye set dead in the East sky from the twin cities area. So I looked up and in the distance I could not even begin to describe what I saw. There was what looked like a star almost from how distant it was. It was no constant color though, it looked as though it were changing between red, green, and blue. And this object at random points would stop dead in the sky, begin spinning in a circle quickly stop again, then go like left, right, further away, closer back, ect. But the way this object moved was like something I had never seen before... With the directions in which it was moving, the speed it was moving, and the colors it gave off me and my friend ruled out any sort of device being flown in the distance by humans. I have never seen something like this in my entire life. I was so awestruck me and my friend watched it for almost a hour. I swear theres no way i'm going crazy, me and my friend should it to 4 other people and we all agreed no plane, helicopter, satellite, whatever could of done what that object was doing. Can anyone identify with this?
Color/Shape: Seemed to be glimmering from red to green to blue, it looked round and elongated somewhat in shape
Height & Speed: It looked like a star from the distance away it was but we could tell with the easeness this object would stop and go back the other direction insatntly was crazy. It would zig zag and turn in circles at quick speeds, changing color as it went in circles almost turning to different sections of this object.

A timeless masterpiece
Richard R. Johnson | Houston, TX United States | 01/11/2001
(5 out of 5 stars)
"In all of my years of introducing friends to the first 2 Poi Dog Pondering records, never has their been anyone who didn't think it was one of the most amazing records that they had ever heard. Your punk rock girlfriend will love it, your hippie sister will love it, your Simon and Garfunkel listenin' parents will love it, your 10 year old little brother will love it... Poi Dog Pondering fuses together many folk and roots styles and ties them together with the catchy yet offbeat lyrics of lead singer Frank Orrall. The music is infectious and delightful. Do yourself a favor and add this cd to your collection."
Beautiful Start!
R Joseph G | Baltimore, Maryland USA | 08/21/2002
(5 out of 5 stars)
"I had this album for years until I turned someone on to it, whose dog then ate it! I am so glad to have this album again! An absolutely beautiful blend that is fresh as water and air. The music is completely uplifting but not sappy. The blend of styles which includes folk, hawaiian, rock, punk, and big band jazz is absolutely unlike anything you have ever heard and yet very memorable. I cannot recommend this album enough. It is Poi Dog Ponderings first album and just starts you up, gets you moving and prepares you for everything else that they've done. Fractyllic Seal of Approval!"
The fact this didnt get airplay shows the bad state of radio
chris jennings | Florida, the best of the u.s. | 02/24/2002
(5 out of 5 stars)
"The fact that this album went pretty much unnoticed is sad. I would never have heard this if I didnt see the video on MTV's 120 minutes.I went out immediately, and got it.I was thinking there would be only one good song-Dreaming Body.How wrong was I? There is not a dud on this album, and most of the songs are completely different from each other. It reminds me of Graceland by Paul simon, which was a success. They were on Columbia, so they had the promotion money. Maybe Franks voice was still a little too alternative for 1989 top 40? Maybe their name made people think they were heavy metal? Nevertheless, radio didnt touch this album. They really missed out. If you live in cold temperatures, put on ALOHA HONOLULU in the dead of winter, and you will be transformed to a tropical paradise----- Keep on the sunny side, always on the sunny side."


text: I'm going to Germany next month and I want to know if I can use Skype for free on a free wifi network to communicate with my husband back in NY on his droid. I haven't downloaded Skype yet. Is this possible? I have the extended battery on my D2G and cannot get the battery cover off so I don't want to deal with the hassle of buying a SIM card for such a short trip. I think Skype would be perfect if it's free. I assume if I'm in a place with free wifi, that my data usage will also be free. Is that right too? Thanks.

A Facebook/college friend just posted a status update about how everyone has a Michael Jackson story. A few people posted theirs… "roller skating to P.Y.T. at the rink on Friday night," "swapping ali jean for billie jean on car rides home from MSP," "singing heal the world everyday for like a year." At first I thought "oh lord, more Michael Jackson talk" but then I immediately thought of my story.
I don't know what year it was (I'd look it up but I'd probably be embarassed at how old I was) but it was the year the first Free Willy movie came out. I used to stay up late at night watching the 24/7 music video channel waiting for the Michael Jackson "Will You Be There" video to come on. I don't know what it was about it (sea mammal theme perhaps, gospel choir maybe) but I was ob. sessed.
Everyone's doing their own little tribute to Michael Jackson, (which most I think are lame) but here's mine… watch and enjoy!

It has been a few years since I have been able to write about potential problems with dry hooves in the UK, but we are last seemigly going to have a summer which although long overdue presents new horse hoof problems!
One such problem is dry hooves. Hooves need a certain amount of moisture to retain their elasticity, and it can be even more of a problem with a shod hoof that will begin to split and crack if allowed to dry out.
An ideal solution using natural horse care prctices is to have an area around the water container (to simulate drinking from a river in the wild) large and wet enough to soak the horses feet when they drink. In practice, this is not always possible or convenient, and water will bring with it the inevitable mud (unless you are lucky enough to have a custom built watering area with a waterproof base), which we would all prefer to avoid whenever possible!
The EasySoaker therapy hoof boot is the ideal solution to soak and medicate if necessary the horse's hooves, and is a very versatile boot that can be used for a number of applications. Soaking your horse's hooves in an EasySoaker, with or without hoof care products, can help with sand cracks, seedy toe, white line disease, thrush, contracted heels and abscesses, as well as helping to alleviate the symptoms associated with navicular, contracted heels, corns and founder.

The federal government has tightened its rules on the use of alcohol by pilots, flight engineers and cabin attendants by requiring them to undergo blood tests if they are suspected of being impaired by liquor while flying.
The new Federal Aviation Administration rules go into effect Wednesday, supplementing the eight-hour "bottle to throttle" regulation that prohibits drinking by crew members eight hours before a flight.
Crew members would be considered under the influence of alcohol if they have a blood-alcohol level of 0.04 percent or higher, a standard tougher than those used by states for motorists.
Under the new rules proposed last year, they would not have to submit to a random blood test before flights but would be required to undergo a test when requested by local law enforcement officers.
The tests could be ordered if there is reason to suspect the crew member may have used alcohol.
"Refusal could result in the lifting of a certificate to fly," FAA spokesman Fred Farrar said.
The FAA action came following recommendations by the National Transportation Safety Board, an independent federal investigative panel, that called for the lowest possible blood alcohol level at which crew members would be considered impaired.
The FAA will require the crew members to give the agency the results of the blood tests, and failure to furnish them or authorize their release also could result in the lifting of their certification.
Between 40 and 50 accidents are linked to alcohol each year in private flying, mostly involving smaller planes.
However, alcohol has not been involved in any recent accident by major airlines, and the Air Line Pilots Association says alcohol abuse is not a problem for the carriers.
"Obviously, we support an alcohol-free cockpit," an ALPA spokesman said.

ASCII doesn't have accented characters, so tidy will translate into entities. Either use "tidy -ascii" or modify your tidy config file to include the like "output-encoding: ascii" I still haven't figured out tidy's character encoding translation mechanism though. There are several encoding and language options for the config file that seem to overlap and interfere with each other. I've got a bunch of html pages in "win-1252," "iso-8859-1," "mac," and "utf-8" formats. I've defined "output-encoding: latin1" (iso-8859-1) in my tidy.conf file and use the "-utf8" "-win1252" and such command line flags to define input encoding. That's not how it's supposed to be done. I SHOULD be putting "input-encoding: XXXXX" into the config, but that would mean 4 separate config files. The problem is that not all the configuration elements are available from the command line...or maybe they are, and I just haven't found them.Received on Monday, 13 June 2005 04:38:34 UTC

Music is the wine which inspires one to new generative processes, and I am Bacchus who presses out this glorious wine for mankind and makes them spiritually drunken. This example of music quotes may seem self-serving until you realize it was written by Ludwig van Beethoven, who created some of the most definitive classical pieces in our history. One doesnt have to be a composer to deeply appreciate the value music has in our lives, the emotion that touches every person who enjoys it. Hopefully, music quotes will inspire the reader to partake in one of the most simple and beautiful gifts on the planet music.

Vanuatu daily news digest | 16 December 2012Posted: December 16, 2012 Filed under: The Daily Digest | Tags: Burumba, Cloud Zero, Devfish 2, Edward Natapei, Epi, EU, European Union, FFA, Forum Fisheries Agency, kava, Kurukuru 2012, Pacific Ombudsman Alliance, politics, Robert Bohn Jr., Sato Kilman, Secretariat of the Pacific Community, SPC, Tonga, tuna fishing, Vanuatu Comments Off on Vanuatu daily news digest | 16 December 2012
Opposition leader Edward Natapei answers MP Robert Bohn Jr.'s accusations in Daily Post that the Opposition is the cause of instability by pointing out that Bohn signed an MOU with the Sato Kilman bloc, then held discussions with the Opposition, then formed a bloc ('Cloud Zero') with Independent MP Richard Namel "so that whoever got into government, the 'Cloud Zero' bloc would be in government." Bohn at least admits the Opposition "captured the moral high ground", even if he chose not to meet it there.
Bohn also apologises to his Epi constituency for his inability to provide an upgrade to the Burumba clinic there because expenses related to the motion of no confidence cost the country vt500,000, he said. Natapei points out that most of this sum of money has not been paid, anyway. The Opposition Leader also reminds us of the appalling state of the country's finances, as detailed in the Motion. With some teachers still unpaid, the 2012 budget remains in disarray and there is no Parliament-approved budget for 2013. The situation is not unusual in Vanuatu. When Parliament does not sit for a Budget before the end of the year, the law provides for what is called a "supply bill". This allows for three months of appropriation (January to March). The appropriation is based on the previous year's budget, and does not need the approval of Parliament. This was quite common in the late 1990s and early 2000s when Vanuatu had political uncertainty. So, basic Government services should continue — to the extent they are currently actually being delivered. Whether or not this brings joy to the people of Burumba depends on what might have been decided for them by the Kilman Government. Both Radio Vanuatu News and Daily Post this weekend carry the Opposition Leader's comments on Robert Bohn's opinion piece.
In other events, Daily Post has carries news of three regional developments which may assist Vanuatu. A new data-driven process to crackdown on illegal tuna fishing could save the Pacific a billion dollars. The Forum Fisheries Agency (FFA)'s and the Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC)'s 'Kurukuru 2012' was the region's biggest-ever surveillance operation, involving five maritime patrol aircraft, 12 patrol boats, a frigate and a Coast Guard vessel. Begun under the European Union-funded Devfish 2 project, it is simplifying the intelligence gathering of surveillance teams.
Also in the Daily Post, the Ombudsman's office advises of the Pacific Ombudsman Alliance assisting member countries to realise principles of good leadership. Activities are currently being planned for 2013.
And the leadership of the regional co-ordinating committee for kava exports has gone to Vanuatu, after being stalled for eight years under the direction of Tonga. Hundreds of years ago, the Tongans came to Vanuatu for their kava. Good to see leadership on kava returning to Vanuatu.

As home prices continue to recover and interest rates remain at near-record lows, many houses are receiving multiple offers and to win the bid, buyers need to stand out from the crowd. According to the CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS®' most-recent housing report, the median number of days it took to sell a single-family home decreased to 29.4 days in March.
- Since markets are moving fast, housing experts recommend buyers have their loan pre-approved and their down payment ready before starting their search. With low inventory and demand high, buyers need to know their parameters.
- Multiple offers are become the norm, so buyers need to be ready to compete and do their homework to seal the deal. The longer the negotiations, the bigger the chance a buyer could lose out to someone else who made a better offer.
- Buyers also must be reasonable without being difficult because until an offer is signed, sealed, and delivered, other buyers can make offers on the property.
- Even though it's a competitive market, buyers should maintain their budget and not pay more for a house than it's worth. Experts also warn that buyers shouldn't cut corners like skipping the home inspection.
- To be an attractive home buyer, consumers should plan ahead by checking their credit for accuracy and avoiding making any big purchases or taking on any big debt while house hunting.
- Buyers who spot a good deal on a house shouldn't wait days to make an offer. Since time isn't on the buyer's side, learning how to spot a great deal by researching an area's home prices is pertinent.
- In this market, cash is king. The more cash a buyer has, the more appealing they are as a buyer. Putting down 20 percent or more also makes a buyer look more financially stable and gives sellers comfort that they will qualify for a mortgage.

The Paralympian power couple open up about Sochi and parenting their 6-year-old son.
For Olympic power couple Rob and Danielle Umstead, rigorous physical training is just the tip of the iceberg in gearing up for this year's winter games in Sochi. Danielle, who is legally blind, can only compete to the sound of her husband's voice, meaning they'll have to push the boundaries of marriage, and work as a team like never before.
Rob and Danielle, to their credit, don't seem fazed. They say their marriage has never been stronger and, in fact, working together has only fortified their bond. More than anything, they say they're just trying to focus on being the best parents they can be to 6-year-old son Brocton.

Being able to find the right roofer for your home is something that can really be an important task. After all, your roof is something that protects your home and your family from the elements. Because of this, it is an important decision that should not be taken lightly. Below, we will be going over some of the top things you are going to want to do when you are scouting for the best roofing contractors.
Scouting For The Best Roofing Contractors:
1. Look For Insurance.
When it comes to hiring a roofing contractor, one of the key factors that you are going to need to look for is insurance. Insurance is an absolute must have when it comes to finding a contractor to work on your home in any capacity. It is critical for the contractor to have the proper liability insurance and worker's compensation insurance in order to allow them to work on your home at all. You want to ask to see these certificates and actually call the insurance center itself in order to confirm that the company has them and that they are completely valid. This will not only protect you from any sort of unnecessary liability, but it will also ensure that you are dealing with equal bids.
2. Contractor's Reputation.
You also want to carefully look at the contractor's reputation on the market. Ideally, you want to try to find a contractor that is going to be able to supply you with an excellent job well done. The best way to narrow your options to find one is by looking at their previous work and seeing what their previous clients are saying about them as a contractor. This is going to give you a good idea on the contractors you should consider working with.
Roofing is a major investment most of us make in our lifetimes.. In order to ensure that this investment bears fruits for long periods of time, it is important for individuals to get their roof inspected. When it comes to inspection, there can be no better way to examine the roof of a house than by calling professional roofers and inspectors. There are various roofing companies that offer professional roof inspection for people who are concerned about the durability of their roofing.
Most people believe that one can carry out the task of roof inspection by themselves. But that's certainly not the case as there are various aspects associated with roof inspection that should be left to professionals.
Benefits of opting for professional roofing companies
This article focuses on removing the misconception that most individuals carry regarding professional roof inspection offered by roofing contractors. These benefits will highlight the true importance of professional roof inspection.
Some of the major benefits that one can expect from professional roofing inspection include:
One of the major concerns during roofing is the safety parameters of the individuals living under that roof. It is highly uncertain for a homeowner to have the right equipment required for proper roof inspection.
A Proper roof inspection cannot be carried out unless an individual gets on the roof, i.e. it cannot be carried out from the ground. If a roof doesn't have a proper staircase, it is important for the professional or the person inspecting the roof to adopt proper safety measures.
If someone is willing to inspect the roof of his or her house by himself or herself, it is for certain that he or she may leave several aspects unconsidered.
This is where the level of experience of the individual inspecting the roof comes into play. This is what is so different about the professionals sent out by professional roofers and companies.
If proper inspection is carried out on the roof of a house, then there are high chances that any sort of incoming danger due to the roof of a house can be predicted. In the event that danger is predicted, then an individual can very well turn to preemptive protection measures.
If someone has hired roofing contractors for inspecting the roof of his or her home, then he or she can definitely lift this particular weight of his or her shoulders. This is due to the fact that no one does it better than professionals in the field.
When you are well aware of the condition of your roof, you can rest at ease and not worry about in coming storms as you would be certain that your roof will be able to withstand it.
Professional roof inspectors ought to provide informative solutions for any sort of issue that may come up with the roof of an individual's house. What are you looking for? Take the services now and protect your home!
Settling things early on with a roofing service company is wise because this will allow you to go on without any shocks amid the occupation, and it will permit you to contrast one roofer's work with another. You should ask them: How will you ensure my home is completed on time? Specific points of interest on what the organization will do to guarantee your roofing project does not get put on the back burner should be specified early on. They should provide you with information about the details of the job, and so on. Too regularly, mortgage holders consider what's going on top of the rooftop and disregard what encompasses the house.
Making Roofing Service Arrangements
This incorporates the drains, additionally the bid. On the off chance that you burn through hundreds or thousands of dollars planting trees, bushes, and blooms, you would prefer not to get back home to another rooftop yet a torn up yard. Before you employ an organization, ask particularly what they will do to ensure the rest of your job. Where will the stepping stools go etc. Where will the old shingles and conceivably spoiled plywood be dropped or hurled with the goal that it doesn't impact the surrounding shrubs and blossoms that landscape your home? These are all questions to be asked and consider on your part before deciding which contractor to use…
On the off chance that an error on the part of the residential or commercial roofing contractor does happen and a representative from the organization Is made aware of the situation what will they do to correct the problem? Also in order to avoid this kind of future problem, you should ask: Is there going to be somebody on location with whom I can convey? While we generally trust roofing projects and services run easily, at times they don't. This is why the company should have a person you can go to in case something goes wrong and you need to ask for an explanation. In this manner, you would feel more ensured.
There are several questions that can help you decide whether a roofing service provider is a professional one or not, such asDo you have a neighborhood telephone number and address? Head down to town after a storm and it's probably you'll see a band of trucks wandering the avenues, loaded with temporary workers searching for work. While some of these might be all good, what happens when the employment completes and after that something turns out badly? Who do you call to settle what was not introduced effectively or got harmed before the guarantee lapsed? Will the individual that took the necessary steps be accessible to return to settle what isn't right?
Some Smart Questions to Ask a Roofer
On the off chance that you manage an organization that is not settled nearby to your zone, you will most likely be unable to recover the organization to settle any potential issues later on. You should also ask: What is the guarantee on my new rooftop? The guarantee should be a minimum of twenty-five years. Today's dimensional style shingles cost an indistinguishable price from the more seasoned style shingles and furthermore last more. Mortgage holders ought to get no less than a twenty-five-year guarantee with both item sorts.
You should also ask about the cost of the plywood early on. It should cost you no more than a dollar sum for every plywood sheet. Unscrupulous roofers may skirt this data as you head into an assertion. Once the rooftop is up, it's intense for you to question an overinflated cost for plywood sheeting to settle what was spoiled underneath. Hence, you have to ask the amount it will cost per plywood sheeting in case the roofer find spoiled or delicate pieces that should be supplanted before they start the job to make sure there are no surprises later on.
We realize that there are many types and styles of roofing to choose from. Although this is a good thing, it can be confusing. Especially, if you don't have prior knowledge about types of roofing. There is no need to worry, though. We are here to help you. Here, we will give you overviews of clay tile, concrete tile and slate roofing to help you decide which one is right for you.
Clay tile is brittle and heavy. That being said, they are long lasting and very fire resistant.
Materials-Made of natural clay that is fired in a kiln.
Appearance-Traditional Italian or Spanish look. Clay tile can also be made to resemble slate or wood shakes.
Durability-Long lasting and low maintenance although brittle and can break.
Resistance-Fair to low wind resistance.Excellent fire resistance.
Concrete tile is less expensive compared to clay tiles. Just like clay tiles, concrete tiles are heavy but can be long lasting and are very fire resistant.
Materials-Made of a mixture of sand and cement.
Appearance-Can be made to resemble slate, wood shakes or clay tiles.
Durability-Long lasting, low maintenance but can break.
Resistance-Fair to low wind resistance.Excellent fire resistance.
One of the oldest roofing materials, slate is very durable and resists both wind and fire. Slate is brittle and expensive, though.
Materials-Made from natural slate rock.
Appearance-Typically dark gray with irregular appearance.
Durability-Durable and long lasting.
Resistance-Good fire and wind resistance.
Price-Very expensive and requires specially trained workers to install.
Of course, there are still some types of roofing. We also have other types of roofing you can read. We hope the overviews above help you find the right roofing for your home.

Utah's Josh Wright has some great piano tutorials for advanced pianists on Youtube. For such a young pianist he is very aware of technique and getting a great sound. In this Youtube tutorial, Josh discusses Pearly sound. Josh's inspiration's for this Pearly Sound is the playing of pianist Murray Perahia. I think this term is fairly common in North America, I don't hear this term used in the UK that often, only by my previous Canadian teacher postgraduate from the Royal Academy of Music.
Josh defines Pearly Sound as a light, clear, beautiful, fleeting sound as opposed to a heavy and muddy sound. Josh demonstrates this concept with a Chopin nocturne, and illustrates the difference and technical approach to achieve Pearly Sound. Enjoy, practise and share!

Jobbik President Gábor Vona announced today that the Mayor of Ózd Dávid Janiczak, the Mayor of Tiszavasvári Erik Fülöp, and the Mayor of Ásotthalom László Toroczkai will run as candidates for the position of vice-president at the upcoming party congress this summer.
Vona announced the news on N1 TV. He also remarked that he counts on the work of three current vice-Presidents of the party including János Volner, Dániel Z. Kárpát and Tamás Sneider in the next period leading up to the 2018 general elections, adding that he wants to create a "presidency of winners."
Vona explained his decision by saying that Dávid Janiczak was able to create a majority in Ózd and put the city on a growing path. Erik Fülöp won the mayoral elections three times in a row.
Regarding Toroczkai, Vona recalled that although the hugely popular mayor of the town of Ásotthalom agreed with his plans he turned off twice his request to run for vice-president while finally, the third time he said yes.
Ásotthalom is a success story
The Jobbik president recalled that Ásotthalom is a success story; before Toroczkai took it over it was a poor, conflict-ridden town that as a result of the work of the new mayor, recovered big time. In consequence, László Toroczkai won his second term as a mayor with a one hundred percent support.
Vona announced last week that he didn't support the re-election of three vice-presidents of the party due to the new course of action needed to prepare the party for the 2018 general elections. All three vice-presidents (István Apáti, Előd Novák and István Szávai) accepted Vona's decision quickly putting an end to liberal media speculations that already envisioned a rift in the largest opposition party.

War, terrorism popular topics at Hot Docs
EmptyTORONTO -- Victims and perpetrators of war and terrorism will be dominant themes at the Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival, which kicks off its 11-day run here Thursday.
Toronto-based filmmaker Johanna Lunn's "Forgiveness: Stories for Our Time," a portrait of four people who weigh whether to forgo blind revenge and instead forgive murderers of family members, will have its world premiere at the festival.
"In our world, we really need to think about how to face loss in a healthy way, because bad stuff happens," Lunn said ahead of the Hot Docs screening.
Among the film's subjects is a man from Northern Ireland whose wife and nine others were murdered in an IRA bombing and a British Anglican priest who resigned from her parish after her daughter was murdered in the July 7, 2005, London bombings.
North America's largest documentary festival also has booked a North American premiere for "Star Hotel," Israeli filmmaker Ido Haar's portrait of two Palestinian friends who work illegally as construction laborers in the occupied territories.
U.S. films making their international premieres include "Nanking," directors Dan Struman and Bill Guttentag's unflinching account of the infamous "rape of Nanking" by Japanese Imperial forces in 1937, and Sean Fine and Andrea Nix Fine's "War/Dance," an uplifting film about three war orphans in Northern Uganda who reach the finals of a national dance and music contest.
Toronto also will host an international premiere for Norwegian filmmaker Line Halvorsen's "USA vs Al-Arian," about the jailed activist and pro-Palestinian professor Sami Al-Arian.
Elsewhere, Czech Republic filmmaker Marko Skop is bringing "Other Words," the audience award winner at Europe's Karlovy Vary festival, to Toronto for a North American premiere. The docu portrays six people from communities in the East Carpathian mountains that must contend with colliding cultures and globalization.
Skop said he is anxious to see whether his film about rapid societal change and dislocation, which touched audiences at home, will translate to North America.
"(The East Carpathians) is a very special region, with very special peoples living on the border of Eastern and Western Europe. But this is also the global village, with the effects of globalization attacking us at every turn of our lives," Skop said.
In all, 129 films from 25 countries will unspool through April 29 at Hot Docs, alongside an industry market and co-production conference with official delegations this year from Brazil, Italy and Germany.
This year's festival will kick off with British filmmaker David Sington's "In the Shadow of the Moon," a film about the astronauts in the Apollo space program. It made its debut at Sundance.


text: T-Mobile Pulse review from TechRadar UK's expert reviews of Mobile phones Seems to say only good things about the phone. As with other reviews, they had issues with the Camera, and the others will probably be fixed by firmware updates... Is the camera really that bad? Or just not up to the high standards of other smartphones? Given I've currently got a VGA camera in mine only, I don't think I'm going to complain about it too much personally.

ANNAPOLIS -- The Schaefer administration presented its fiscal 1992 budget to the General Assembly yesterday with a spartan bottom line: no new taxes and the smallest growth in spending since World War II.
Caught between the recession-spawned, slumping tax revenue and increasing costs for mandated programs such as welfare, the $11.56 billion budget pushes back spending to 1990 levels for most state agencies.
WK "All of us will have to roll up our sleeves over the next fiscal year,"
Charles L. Benton Jr., secretary of budget and fiscal planning, told reporters at a State House briefing. "We'll have to do more with less."

NASHVILLE- The American public has become increasingly cautious towards the Department of Homeland Security. The federal agency has come under increased scrutiny for purchasing 1.6b rounds of high-powered ammunition and stockpiling heavily armored vehicles to be used in the streets of America. US Congressman Huelscamp (R-KS) has asked the DHS multiple times why they needed to purchase these bullets and tanks. The DHS refuses to answer him, and other members of Congress who are demanding answers. Proponents of big government say it is for our protection, but it is important to recall that our militia and army protect us from any foreign invasion according to the Constitution. This is not the job of non-elected federal bureaucrats armed with weapons, which are outlawed to all American people except themselves. The DHS has had its eye on Tennessee recently. A federal grant was given to the state to purchase drones. The grant spurred legislative action in the state of Tennessee to block drone activity as it was delivered during the same time of the Obama Administration's drone controversy.
In a developing story the DHS and FBI are said to be taking over Nashville, Tennessee's CMA Festival, which is the largest country music event in the world. Downtown hospitality industry management have warned their staff to be careful when entering and leaving the city for work, not to bring backpacks, or look suspicious in any way because DHS and FBI agents will be conducting searches and seizures. As the city prepares for the festival DHS and FBI agents have already been seen around the downtown area blocking off bridges and bringing in equipment. A phone call to the Metro Police Department produced an uneasy conversation when the officer would not allow himself to be quoted, but did verify the FBI and DHS would be present. State legislators have placed calls to state leaders to get to the bottom of the situation, which have gone unanswered so far. Being a Southern state, Tennessee residents tend to hold a certain disdain for the federal government while holding the principle of state sovereignty in high regard. This is especially the case when they take over their capital city without regards to their Fourth Amendment rights, and push their elected Sheriffs out of the way to set up shop.

Breastlight offers an accurate breast exam from home
Most females have been raised with the knowledge pounded in their head that they should regularly be checking for lumps in their breasts. You're taught to search for general irregularities, but most are still left wondering if they could miss something. You may second guess your method or timing, but all around there are a lot of factors that plague the typical female. Especially those that have a history of breast cancer within their family. Well now you can purchase the Breastlight that will give you a much more clear and visual approach.
First you shut off all the lights and make sure it's plenty dark. Then you apply the lubricant that is meant for the Breastlight. Turn on the Breastlight and put it on the underside of your breast and look down. Keep it pressed firmly and for a better full view, use a mirror to make sure you've seen all the areas. Lumps will show up as dark areas underneath the skin. The light is a bit pricey, but for women with a high risk factor, it might be worth the extra money. You can purchase it for £77.50 or about $114.

The drive chain attached to the sprocket from the motor that drives the rear roller first, seems to have stretched. Under a load the roller and chains jumps every 6 to 8 inches. With out load it jumps every 5 to 6 seconds. I don't see a way to take up the slack in the chain. An input would be appreciated.
