I'm not frugal for everything ~ I'm selective.
When it comes to food I am really not frugal because good health is a priority in my life and I'm not going to skimp on high quality, fresh food, sometimes organic.
When it comes to clothing, 95% of my purchases are from local thrift shops, with the exception of shoes and underwear, and I save lots of $$$$.
When it comes to household items like furniture and linens, most of my purchases are from local thrift shops and I save lots of $$$.
I don't spend $ on fancy electronics; have had the same 19" television for years and save lots of $$$$ in that area.
So, is anyone else selectively frugal ? And HOW ?
We're very similar...though I do confess that I love a glass of red wine once in a while.
It's funny, but I actually have a personal shopper at my favorite 'high-end' thrift store. She's a dear friend and she calls to let me know when something comes in that 'has my name on it.' And I'm among the first to know when they have their semi-annual 'everything for a quarter' seasonal sales.
Only we dedicated thrifters know the thrill of having gently-owned or never worn, sometimes designer clothes for pennies. I like clothes--they're costumes and it's fun to play dress-up according to season or mood with out busting the bank.
So many wise ways to eat in a healthful way, dress ourselves nicely and furnish our homes, when we put our minds to it. Aren't we truly fortunate? And rich?
Oh, Little Dolphin, I always love to read your posts! Alas, I tried to rep you but I've given you rep recently so I'll just have to say thanks for sharing your thoughts.
My furry babies (dog and cat) are older and require special food and vet care. I'm sooo very blessed to be able to give them what they need in that area. My hubby and I have good insurance (his) for our healthcare, so we are extremely blessed there are well.
I've really been working to cut down on our eating out and grocery shopping. This is an area I can really work to whittle down.
Entertainment - we go to an occassional movie but for hubby it is video games and for me it is reading, working with my plants, a walk on the beach or something fairly FREE.
Car - I always believe in driving a used car for which I can pay cash and having NO CAR Payment.
Clothes - Even though I do shop consignment shops and Ebay, etc... I still have room to cut back in this area some more. My hubby really pays attention to clothes so this is an area where I still spend some $$.
House - We just moved into a new farm house so I'll be working to use scavenged finds to dress the house in our cozy, ecclectic, cottage style for the next couple of years. I won't buy used sheets...eekkk ....I just can't stand the thoughts of that. But so far, we only had to buy a new couch and chair and a new kitchen table for the house. We had everything else for the most part.
I still give to my church.....It is just part of my budget each month and it is important to me to share what God has been so gracious to give to my family.
Food - I shop at Costco and buy all fruit and vegetables on sale at Sprouts. I'm on a diet which has really cut down my food consumption. I no longer drink wine.
Car - drive a 2002 Honda Accord. Only have 52K miles on it so I'm thinking it'll last me for a while.
Insurance and prescriptions - this is where I'm getting killed but it's a necessity.
Clothes - only shop at thrift stores, but I do buy more than I need as a form of entertainment. I love a bargain.
Yard - I pay someone to do this.
Pool - I pay someone to do this.
Ebay - have gotten much better but at one time bought duplicate items just for fun in the bidding process.
We spend very little money because most of our stuff comes from yard sales and thrift shops. Even at the grocery store we save tons by only buying ingredients and buying things on discount. We also get bulk ingredients from a food co-op and buy food from the local farmer's market as well as grow a lot of our own. There are five hens in the back yard who turn scratching for bugs and garden trimmings into eggs so they are a savings, too. As well as being fun to watch.
By saving all this money, we are able to spend money when we want to. Last weekend we bought a pile of lumber at a yard sale so I'm building a picnic table this week. Instead of galvanized bolts and screws to hold it together, I bought stainless. We live near the ocean and I only want to build this picnic table once. Considering the price of fasteners, we will now be buying these things as we see them at yard sales. However, I expect the stainless steel fasteners I just paid thrice the price for to still be in use at least a decade from now if not two decades or more. We will spend money on durable goods and define "durable" as lasting more than a decade.
There's no such thing as "selectively frugal", you're either frugal or you're not. Frugality is not about getting the cheapest of everything, it is about engaging in personal business/financial transactions that provide the best return for all involved. Because personal tastes are personal, frugality is by definition "selective" for each individual who is frugal. The selectivity is already in each of us, and frugality affects how we cater to our selections.
For example, it's not "frugal" for someone to buy the cheaper item if he or she strongly prefers the more expensive item and it's something that is an integral part of his or her life experience. That's being cheap, not frugal. And it's foolish to be cheap. There's a saying, "It's more expensive to be cheap." I believe that.
If someone gives me a recipe for a "frugal" dish, like a tuna casserole, it is in fact for me NOT a frugal option. Because I hate canned tunafish, and wouldn't eat such a casserole. I couldn't enjoy it, it would turn my stomach. It would be wiser for me to spend twice the money on a dish that I would actually eat and enjoy.
Frugality is more about looking at what you already like and want, and then ccomparing what you are currently doing to get what you like and want to the options you have for getting what you like and want. So, the "selective" portion is not a part of being frugal, it's just based on your own personal tastes, needs, and wants. Frugality comes into play with how you fulfill those needs and wants; is the way you currently fulfill them the most efficient way, or is there a better way?
So, going back to the tuna casserole example, it wouldn't be 'frugal' for me to save 50% by switching from a Lasagne to a tuna casserole. What would be frugal is to explore how I currently get that lasagne and if there is a way that will save me more money and eliminate waste while delivering the same desired item (lasagne) to me. If I am using the most efficient and inexpensive way possible to get that lasagne, then I'm being "frugal" even if I'm still paying more than I'd be paying to make a tuna casserole.
So it sounds to me like you're being frugal. As someone else on this forum wisely pointed out to me, being frugal is about cutting costs where it makes sense to (as in those things you don't want to spend more on) in order to be able to spend that saved money later where you DO want to spend it.
What you describe as "Selective" is just using common sense in your use of your money. Nothing special about that.
A term often used in wine collecting is QPR--Quality Price Ratio.
Something can be twice expensive than a similar item, but if it's got five times better quality, the more expensive item is the better deal.
I am frugal in that I try to find the best QPR on the items I want and/or need in my life.
I agree and I think that is a key to frugality. "Cheap is often more expensive" is the truth. I would also factor in, however, budget limits, but maybe that's just obvious. Budget almost always trumps QPR, but it's worth going over budget if possible to get the QPR.
We have saved enough in the past 9 years by taking out cable TV, to take quite a few trips by air. Charleston, SC; NYC; Clearwater, FL and twice to Washington DC - are just some of them. When we took out the cable it was going for $25 a month - now I don't think the cheapest plan is even $50 - so $50 times 12 months a year - really adds up.

An investigation is underway in Murrieta after a home caught fire and exploded Monday afternoon killing one person and injuring at least one more person.
The explosion may have been the gas of a gas line rupture, officials said. A SoCalGas spokeswoman said crews responded to reports of a natural gas line that was damaged by a contractor working on a home in the 23500 block of Wooden Horse Trail.
Today SoCalGas crews responded to reports of a damaged natural gas line & shortly after our crews arrived, there was an explosion. Sadly, one of our employees was fatally injured and others harmed. Our thoughts are with the families & first responders impacted. #Murrieta

Wall Lake residents at odds over proposed bike trail
Danielle Ferguson
The notion to build in a bike path around Wall Lake has residents at odds over whether the project would make the area safer and more welcoming, or bring unwanted traffic and crime.
A group of Wall Lake and area residents say a bike trail around the lake would be a safe alternative to walkers and bikers sharing roads with vehicles, and would help connect the community as a whole.
For Tesa Schwans, a Wall Lake resident and leader of the non-profit Friends of Wall Lake, safety is the main priority. That's how the idea for the trail started, Schwans said. After noticing families using county and state roads for walking and biking, neighborhood chats led to proposing the trail in 2018.
Friends of Wall Lake asked the Minnehaha County Commission earlier this year to be a conduit for the group to apply for a grant to conduct a feasibility study on if and how a bike trail would work.
"We all want to know that when we venture out doing what we love, from biking, walking, running or enjoying our pets, that we can be assured that our lives are not at risk by fast driving cars and are those drivers not paying attention," Schwans said. "That safety is the biggest factor."
However, others in the community say a trail would be the opposite of safe, and expressed frustration that the county agreed to be the channel for a grant application.
Minnehaha County Commissioners heard from Hartford and surrounding area residents on Aug. 18 who said they opposed any action taken by the county toward supporting a bike trail, and said they felt their opinions weren't heard.
It isn't the first time the commission has heard opposition on the project.
In a letter signed by more than 20 residents sent to commissioners — and the Argus Leader — in the spring, residents said the county hasn't supported Wall Lake in other areas, such as road maintenance, snow removal and cleaning up around Wall Lake, and said a majority of the people who live on the lake opposed the idea of a trail.
Accompanying the letter were the results of a survey of the people who live around the lake. The surveyor, Peggy Bevier, has lived near Wall Lake for 40 years.
"Residents don't want it," Bevier told commissioners of the trail.
Resident Duane Boice said he moved to the Wall Lake area to get out of Sioux Falls, and he's not interested in changing the rural feeling of his home.
"If you want to improve Wall Lake, start with the algae; add to the sewer system that's on its last legs; improve the roads," he told commissioners.
Others who attended Tuesday's commission meeting — who also brought an attorney from Sioux Falls to voice concerns on behalf of the opposing residents — said they think a bike trail would bring more unwanted traffic and other activity to the area. Residents so far this summer have witnessed two drownings, a shooting by the boat docks, a "riot on the beach" and the discovery of the body of a homicide victim. Some have reported items stolen from garages and lake-goers hanging out on their property.
Calls to the Wall Lake area have gone up steadily over the last few years, Capt. Josh Phillips with the Minnehaha County Sheriff's Office said, by three to four calls per month on average. This summer has been busier, likely because public pools were closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Deputies are sometimes stationed out at the lake during higher traffic times, which would also attribute to a higher call volume, he said.
"And it's all because there's more people out there," Bevier said at commission. "And now they want to bring more people out there with the bike trails."
It's already tough to find parking in the area, Bevier said, adding that there is "a lot of farmland" and other property that would be tough to work around or get rights to build through.
But commissioners said they haven't taken any action, and all they've done is allow a the Friends of Wall Lake to apply for a grant to conduct a study on the logistics of a bike trail.
That study could cost more than $55,000, Schwans said. They're still in the beginning fundraising stages, and while they're hoping for a generous donation, Schwans said the majority of the trail's future could depend on grants.
The study would hopefully provide responses to a lot of unanswerable questions, such as if a trail would have environmental or archaeological impacts, how it would be built and by whom, layout options, right-of-ways and more, Schwans said. She's also hoping a feasibility study could give residents all of the facts they need to form their opinion about the trail.

"It's a process and the preliminary analysis is just part of the steps to take," she said. "That way you don't end up spending more money than you need to."
Paul Boerboom, who lives on the southwest side of the lake, likes to take a walk every day with his two springer spaniels. For his own personal reasons, he said, a bike trail would be nice, but also said he thinks it would be a "great amenity" for the future, considering Sioux Falls has shown no signs of stopping growth in any geographical direction.
"As an idea, a concept, I think it would be wonderful," said Boerboom, who has been a resident there for about 20 years.
He said that safety would be a big element, adding that he's almost been "crowded off the road" by drivers while walking down to the county park area east of the lake. A feasibility study would help figure out a lot of unknown variables, he said.
The Friends of Wall Lake, which Schwans said has representatives from each side of the lake, hopes to reach beyond the bike path project, and already have with its help in supporting Bunny Timpe with the life jacket program created after the second drowning at the lake. She added that part of the trail's vision is to create a memorial or legacy trail so people can donate benches, signs, path bricks or other additions to a trail.
"It would also connect us together as a community to feel more cohesive and to eventually build upon those instrumental ideals that bind us together," Schwans said.

Moisture in concrete roof decks that migrates into the roofing system can be a serious problem for the system's durability and performance. The National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA) has stated that they have received, and continue to do so, a significant number of reports regarding problems created by moisture in concrete roof decks.
Both normal-weight structural concrete and lightweight structural concrete contain additional water that is added to ensure the concrete fills all gaps and voids in the deck. However, lightweight structural concrete, despite its name, contains more water than normal-weight structural concrete. As the concrete dries during the curing period, excess moisture is released into the roofing system causing potential mold growth, adhesive loss, deterioration, and corrosion.
The problem can be traced to the tests used to determine the concrete roof deck's dryness. One method simply assumes the concrete is dry after a 28-day time period. Another requires a plastic sheet be placed around the deck and to check for condensation buildup. Both are ineffective to accurately determine the amount of moisture within the concrete roof deck.
NRCA has recommended that designers not specify lightweight structural concrete for roof decks. Further, NRCA maintains that the ASTM F2170 probe testing is still the most reliable method of determining whether a concrete roof deck is dry. NRCA recommends a maximum 75 percent RH value as a threshold for determining a concrete roof deck's dryness.

As a game that immediately screams 'Lionel Messi for top scorer', Argentina playing Saudi Arabia on opening match of a FIFA World Cup throws up some great opportunities. This game is going to come with some very intriguing match-ups, but the simple fact is that for all of the results Saudi get in the Asian conference they very rarely bring that with them to the biggest stage.
They have only made the knockouts once, and are typically the lowest ranked team in any of the groups they are drawn in. The 2022 FIFA World Cup is no different and they will do very well to take anything from a group involving Poland and Mexico as well as the pre-tournament favourites.
Who will win this tie?
Argentina, easily. They have a hugely motivated Lionel Messi playing in probably his final FIFA World Cup, as well as a host of players who have bedded into a solid unit. Under Lionel Scaloni they have been solid and consistent, and even won the Copa America – their first trophy since the early 1990s – in Brazil, beating the Selecao in the Final itself.
They come here in hot form, having made a huge impression including a beating of Italy in the 'Finalissimo' game that matched them up with the European champions. Argentina are nifty, aggressive, crafty, and technically sound. In short, they bring everything to the table that Saudi usually struggle to deal with.
This should be a healthy opening win for Argentina, setting up a run.
VERDICT: 4-1

The Tolworth Novices' Hurdle is a Grade 1 hurdle race run over 1 mile, 7 furlongs and 216 yards at Sandown Park in January. The race is restricted to horses, aged four years and upwards, who start the season without a win over hurdles. The Tolworth Novices' Hurdle takes its name from Tolworth, Kingston upon Thames, which straddles the Kingston bypass, southeast of Surbiton and less than 19 minutes' drive from Sandown Park.
The Tolworth Novices' Hurdle was established in 1976, but was not promoted to Grade 1 status until 1991. Since then, Nicky Henderson has saddled seven winners – namely New York Rainbow (1992), Minella Class (2011), Captain Conan (2012), Royal Boy (2014), L'Ami Serge (2015) and Constitution Hill (2022) – and is the leading trainer in the history of the race.
The hitherto unbeaten Constitution Hill, who won the Supreme Novices' Hurdle at the 2022 Cheltenham Festival by 22 lengths, smashing the course record despite being eased down, could easily prove the best horse ever to win the Tolworth Novices' Hurdle. Prior to 2022, that distinction belonged to Desert Orchid who, as a five-year-old, in 1984, justified by odds-on favouritism with a convincing 8-length from Ihaventalight. 'Dessie' was subsequently sent off 7/1 second favourite for the Champion Hurdle famously won by Dawn Run but, having matched strides with the illustrious racemare for much of the way, started to struggle approaching the third-last flight and faded out of contention.
The 2023 renewal of the Tolworth Novices' Hurdle, scheduled for Saturday, January 7, is unlikely to feature anything as formidable as Constitution Hill, but the race has proved 'punter-friendly' in recent years. Look out for strongly-fancied horses, aged five or six, who have won at least once over hurdles, preferably last time out, and have raced within the last four weeks.

The increased production is primarily related to the acquisition of Extreme Energy in December 15, 2004. Average production was less than our 2004 exit production of 750 boe/d primarily due to capacity constraints and shut-downs at third party pipelines and plant facilities during the period. In March, we implemented mechanical safeguards into the gathering system at Chipmunk to assure that C1's gas production would not impede the production of the pipeline operator's gas. C1's gas production had been restricted previously. As well, our oil production at Seal was reduced due to mechanical problems on several pumping oil wells combined with capacity limitations at our Seal battery. We have initiated a substantial battery modification to increase capacity and will embark on a thorough well-by-well optimization program this summer to ensure the reliability of the pumping equipment.
- Current production is 56% gas and 44% light oil.
C1 expects to realize the full production potential of our first quarter drilling program through the remainder of 2005 and early 2006 as we complete and evaluate the balance of 11 new wells. These yet-to-be completed wells are not included in our above "behind pipe capacity" estimates of an additional 475 boe/d.
Our drilling operations will continue after spring breakup with a program of eight to 12 (6.0 to 8.0 net) new wells. This program will encompass light oil exploration and development drilling at Gift Lake, multi-zone exploration gas drilling at Blueberry as well as exploration and development drilling at Hobbema, Sarcee and Cache. Facility modification and optimization related to our "behind pipe capacity" will begin in the second quarter of 2005 at Gift, Chipmunk, Blueberry, Sarcee and Seal. A portion of this work will require temporary production interruptions during the second and third quarters.

- Production and reserve additions related to behind pipe additions in first quarter of 2006.
Capital expenditures were $11.8 million in the first quarter compared to $8.8 million over the same period a year ago. Capital expenditures mainly revolved around an active, 16 well winter drilling program primarily in the Gift Lake, Blueberry and Haro areas along with completion and tie-in activities in Chipmunk. C1 also completed a new 3D seismic program on the Utikoomak First Nation lands situated next to the Gift Lake Settlement that will potentially extend the Granite Wash sand fairways where the "G" Pool discovery was made.
The capital program for 2005 is currently budgeted for $17.0 million.
Capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2005 were $11.8 million. These expenditures were funded primarily by cash flow and available working capital.
C1 had a working capital deficiency of $5.9 million at March 31, 2005. This represents a decrease in working capital of $10.3 million from year-end and was a direct result of the large capital expenditure program C1 undertook in the first quarter.
C1 has $8.5 million of credit facilities available with a Canadian chartered bank. The facilities are composed of a $7.0 million revolving demand loan plus a $1.0 million non-revolving acquisition/development demand loan. The interest rate on outstanding debt is set at the bank's prime lending rate plus 0.5% and 1.0%, respectively. The facilities are secured by a floating charge over all of C1's assets. No amount was outstanding at March 31, 2005.
At March 31, 2005, C1 had 27,631,408 shares issued and outstanding an increase of 22,000 compared to year-end December 31, 2004 due to the exercise of stock options. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period was 27,611,608.
C1 received $61.01/bbl for its crude oil and NGL's for the period compared to $44.93 last year. Crude prices were 8% higher than the fourth quarter 2004 price of $56.52. West Texas Intermediate prices have remained strong into the first quarter of 2005, averaging more than US $50.00/bbl and are generally forecast to remain strong for the balance of the year. The high crude oil prices continue to be bolstered by strength in world oil demand and low levels of spare production capacity worldwide.
C1 received a price of $6.47/mcf for its natural gas production for the period compared to $6.28/mcf over the same period last year and $6.30/mcf for the last quarter. C1 markets its gas to a third party based on the daily index price at AECO.
Royalties net of ARTC were $0.7 million for the quarter ($11.89/boe) compared to $0.3 million ($8.16/boe) for the first quarter last year. Royalties were also higher than last quarters' royalties of $0.5 million ($10.32/boe). Royalty burdens for C1 remain predominantly crown. For the period, crown royalties before ARTC averaged 20.0% and freehold and other royalties averaged 0.6% of total revenue.
Operating costs for the quarter were $0.6 million ($9.32/boe) compared to $0.3 million ($8.51/boe) last year and $0.5 million ($11.06/boe) for the last quarter. Operating costs per boe in the Gift Lake and Seal areas remained high due to a low production base in the first quarter. With increasing production from the waterflood in Gift Lake and battery modifications in Seal during the second quarter, costs per boe should begin to decline over the balance of the year. Operating costs were also high in certain properties obtained in the Extreme acquisition. The Company is considering the sale of certain non-core high operating cost production that should have a positive affect on overall operating costs.
Transportation costs were $75,000 for the three month period ($1.21/boe) compared to $11,000 ($0.28/boe) over the same period a year ago and a small recovery last quarter.
General and administrative expenses were $0.5 million for the quarter ($7.74/boe) compared to $0.2 million ($4.63/boe) for the same period last year and $0.2 million ($4.51/boe) last quarter. Costs were higher compared to last quarter as most of our staff additions last quarter did not occur until November and we hired an additional staff member in February, 2005. Costs were also higher in the first quarter primarily due to expenses associated with integrating the Extreme acquisition.
Stock-based compensation was $149,000 ($2.42/boe) for the quarter, similar to last years' charge of $152,000 ($4.14/boe) and $194,000 ($4.09/boe) last quarter. This represents a non-cash charge resulting from applying a Black-Scholes model to determine the fair value of the Performance Shares and options that were issued. The charge is amortized over the respective vesting periods.
Depletion, depreciation, and accretion amounted to $1.1 million ($18.59/boe) for the quarter compared to $1.0 million ($26.28/boe) last year and $0.7 million ($13.73/boe) last quarter. Depletion was higher this quarter primarily due to capital spending on wells that have not been completed and production tested and, therefore, do not have proved reserves assigned to them. Reserves associated with the first quarter drilling program will be recognized over the balance of 2005 and 2006.
C1 has made no accrual for capital taxes this quarter due to a higher exemption limit compared to $8,000 last year.
Future tax expense was $109,000 for the quarter compared to $2.9 million of future tax benefits recorded during the same period last year. The effective tax rate is higher than the statutory rate of 38% as a result of non-deductible expenses such as stock-based compensation and crown royalties only partially offset by the resource allowance deduction. Last year's recovery resulted from recognizing future tax benefits due to the renunciation of $7.3 million of resource expenditures to flow through shareholders during the quarter. The future tax asset of $2.0 million at December 31, 2004 has been reversed to a liability position of $2.0 million at March 31, 2005 primarily due to the renunciation of $9.9 million of resource expenditures to flow-through shareholders during the first quarter.
Cash flow from operations was $1.3 million for the quarter compared to $0.8 million last year. We had a net loss of $88,000 for the period, $0.00/share compared to net income for the same period last year of $2.6 million, or $0.14/share.

The Company issued 710,410 options to purchase C1 Common Shares to certain officers and employees during the period and an additional 22,000 options to a former employee of Extreme Energy Corporation, a company acquired by C1 in 2004. The options have a term of five years and vest over three years on the basis of one-third per year at exercise prices of $2.10 and $2.31 per share respectively. The options extended to the former employee of Extreme expire in March 2005 and were exercised during the period. The fair value of each option was determined at the stock option grant date using the Black-Scholes model. The fair value was estimated to be an average of $0.81 per share using a risk free interest rate of 4.0%, volatility of 50%, and an expected life of three years.

There was $7,000 paid during the current period for interest expense (2004 - $nil) and there were no income and capital taxes paid during the same period this year or last.
About this company C1 Energy Ltd.


There was sad news for all lovers of great American rock music this week with the death of Gregg Allman. The last time a German audience got to see Allman was actually at the now defunct Museumsplatz here in Bonn. In the previous year he had undergone a liver transplant and hopes were high of a full recovery. Bonn was set to be just the first date of Allman's 2011 German tour, but sadly turned out to be the last after a lung infection meant the cancellation of remaining gigs in Munich, Nürnberg, Tuttlingen and a festival in Burg-Herzberg.

Lone Survivor: A Tale of Horror and Heroism
by Ken Connor on Jan 22, 2014 in Featured, On TV and Movies
To the extent that art really does imitate life, every American owes it to themselves and to our troops to see the blockbuster film, Lone Survivor. Panned by cynical elites as "shameless war-porn," in reality this movie portrays the heroism and sacrifice of four members of Seal Team 10 during a mission gone bad in the mountains of Afghanistan in 2007.
Operation Redwings was designed to track the location and movements of an Afghani terrorist, Ahmad Shah, with the ultimate goal of taking him out. The mission was compromised when a group of goat herders stumbled across the Americans and reported them to the Taliban. The team was subsequently ambushed and virtually wiped out in a vicious gunfight. Seal Team Leader, Lt. Michael Murphy, was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor, and three others received the Navy Cross. The only member of the team to survive, Marcus Luttrell, chronicled Seal Team 10's heroic story in a book bearing the same name as the film.
For many, Lone Survivor is nothing special – merely another action-packed, blood-drenched diversion to be enjoyed while munching on Milk Duds and popcorn at the local movie house. It's impact will only last as long as it takes for the next blockbuster flick to hit the big screen. For those who've experienced war firsthand, however, the movie provides a glimpse into the horrors and heroism that only those who've worn the uniform can understand.
When movies like this are made there are always legions of armchair quarterbacks chomping at the bit, ready to pick and poke and prod in an attempt to undercut and discredit. In the case of Lone Survivor, critics have taken issue with some of the artistic liberties that were taken by the producer of the film. Of course, it should come as no surprise that any time a movie based on real events is made, certain elements are modified for dramatic effect. This is generally why the disclaimer "This film is based on/inspired by true events" is offered. Panning such a film for failing to adhere to a strict factual account is spurious. Dramatic license aside, Lone Survivor communicates some essential lessons about the reality of war and the value of our armed forces that should not be lost on Americans.
First and foremost, war is hell. This axiom is no less true now than when those words were uttered over a hundred years ago by General William Tecumseh Sherman, the Union General who visited that hell on the South during his famous March to the Sea during the Civil War. There is no glory or glamor for the men who are called upon by their country to wage war – only sweat, blood, and sacrifice.
Second, the courage and competence of our troops are second to none. From those first, seemingly futile skirmishes at Lexington and Concord to the bravery and heroism demonstrated in the mountains of Afghanistan, the fighting spirit of the American soldier is incomparable. Every American owes a debt of gratitude to the brave men and women who put their lives on the line to secure our freedoms and way of life.
In light of these truths, our leaders bear an enormous responsibility for ensuring that our troops are honored and respected accordingly. American forces should never be called upon to spill their blood for trivial pursuits or politically-motivated purposes. No military action should be undertaken precipitously and without a clear purpose and defined exit strategy. It is sickening to know how often self-interest and ideology have driven America's defense agenda, with politicians literally playing games with people's lives. Any member of public office who is willing to squander the lives and safety our fighting men and women over matters that do not truly affect our national security is not worthy of the office which they hold and should be replaced by those who respect and value our troops.
While America should always aspire to the highest standards of conduct and ethics in the realm of war, those inclined to second guess battlefield decisions should be charitable in their assessments, recognizing that such decisions are made in real time, in the midst of the clamor and confusion and fog of war. War demands expediency in decision-making. After-action assessments have their place, but armchair quarterbacking generally only serves the agenda of those sitting on the sidelines.
Americans are fortunate that we still have men and women willing to put their lives on the line in service of our country. Movies like Lone Survivor remind us that freedom is not free: it is as Thomas Jefferson so famously said, purchased with the blood of heroes and tyrants. America's leaders have an obligation to our troops to ensure that they have everything they need in terms of manpower and materiel to accomplish their mission, and adequate support when they return from the battlefield. The promises we've made to our military personnel should never be compromised or squandered on the altar of politics. At the same time, we should recognize that no amount of money or benefits are sufficient to compensate our troops for their service. In the end, the greatest gift we can give our troops is to pay tribute and give thanks as often and as publicly as we can.
If you haven't seen Lone Survivor, you should. For the majority of Americans, it will make you feel proud, humble, and grateful to live in a country that is protected by true heroes.

Welcome to Windy City Slam, wrestling coverage from the heart of Chicago and beyond.
Going inside pro wrestling from the Chicago scene to around the world
Mar 11 Record-breaking ROH Champion Jay Lethal never stops learning
By Mike Pankow
Don't call Jay Lethal a veteran.
The record-breaking Ring of Honor World Champion bristles at the notion despite the fact he has been wrestling for nearly two decades.
"I don't even like hearing anybody referring to me as a veteran," said Lethal, who has been in the wrestling business since 2001. "I feel like there's still a lot that I don't know, there's still a lot that I'm working on. Every wrestler can always strive to be a little better than they are now."
Jay Lethal recently became the longest reigning Ring of Honor World Champion, surpassing Samoa Joe's record. Lethal will face Matt Taven in a title match in the main event of ROH's 17th Annivesary Pay-per-view show Friday night in Las Vegas. (Photo: Ring of Honor/Bruno Silveria)
Lethal is ready to add even more knowledge when he defends his ROH World Championship against Matt Taven at Friday night's ROH 17th Anniversary Pay-per-view in Las Vegas.
Within the last few weeks, Lethal surpassed WWE Superstar and current United States Champion Samoa Joe as the longest reigning world champion in ROH history. Monday is the 681st day of Lethal being the ROH World Champion over two title reigns. Joe held the title for 645 days in 2003-04.
"It feels amazing," said Lethal, who turns 34 on April 29. "In Ring of Honor, everyone who walks through the curtain, their goal is to make Ring of Honor bigger and/or better than it was yesterday. I think that puts us all on the same playing field.
"I've always had a tough time looking at myself as someone great or something great. I don't have that view of myself. Although, I don't think I'm awful (either)."
Lethal is riding high on top of a company that always seems to have reshuffle its roster every few years. The recent departures of talents such Cody, The Young Bucks, Kenny Omega and So Cal Uncensored to All Elite Wrestling delivered another blow to ROH, just as losses like CM Punk, Samoa Joe, Tyler Black (Seth Rollins), Claudio Castagnoli (Cesaro), Kevin Steen (Kevin Owens), El Generico (Sami Zayn) and Adam Cole to WWE and NXT were impactful.
Yet, ROH continues to find a way to find and cultivate talent from U.S. independent promotions and stars from around the world. Recent additions include independent standouts Brody King and Bandido and veteran PCO (who wrestled in WWE in the mid-90s as Quebecer Pierre and Jean-Pierre LaFitte).
"Ring of Honor does a great job of scouring the globe to find the next up-and-coming talent," Lethal said. "How do you pick up and move on after losing someone like AJ Styles or CM Punk or Samoa Joe? They pick up and they move on by finding hungry, fresh talent, not to replace the guys that have left, because there's no replacing some of them. But you just respect the fact they donated their time, their energy, their bodies to help build the company's foundation and then you get some new guys that will add on to that foundation and so on and so on."
Lethal's match against Taven at the upcoming PPV is a rematch from a bout they had in 2014 when Lethal was ROH World Television Champion.
Taven, who was ROH World Tag Team Champions with Mike Bennett (now Mike Kanellis on WWE's 205 Live), suffered a serious knee injury during a title defense at ROH Final Battle in December 2015 and was sidelined for about nine months.
Taven returned and reinvented himself following the departure of Bennett and his manager Maria Kanellis-Bennett to IMPACT Wrestling. He is currently one-third of the ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Champions with "Kingdom" partners TK O'Ryan and Vinny Marseglia.
While still TV champion, Lethal won his first ROH World Championship by defeating Jay Briscoe on June 19, 2015. He held the world title for 427 days during his first reign before losing to Cole.
Lethal began his second reign as champion on June 30, 2018 by winning a four-way match with Dalton Castle, Cody and Taven.
Lethal is excited for the opportunity to tangle with Taven one more time – this time in the main event.
"Every wrestler, especially when they've been in the ring (together) once, they want to make the second verse better than the first. We've both have grown. I've been through more. I've learned more. The company is in a different position than it was before. We are higher up in the card, different position on the show. I think all the elements are there for this to be better than all of the other encounters that we've ever had."
Lethal's next stop after his bout with Taven is a match during the ROH/New Japan Pro Wrestling G1 Supercard at Madison Square Garden on April 6.
The Elizabeth, N.J., native grew up just a short train ride away from MSG. He attended one WWE show there in his youth and is absolutely overwhelmed to be wrestling in "The World's Most Famous Arena."
"I'm so nervous. It's amazing. No one thought it was possible," Lethal said. "The little kid inside of me is jumping for joy right now. He can't contain himself. He knows he's about to wrestle in the same building that he watched on his couch with his brothers, countless wrestling events. It's unreal."
Lethal is a lifelong professional wrestling fan and even eschewed other sports when he was in high school, except for one year on the wrestling team. He is in the middle of a group of six siblings (four boys, two girls) and his brothers, while they loved wrestling, were engrossed in other sports growing up.
Lethal always had an itch to become a pro wrestler, then one day in 2001, an opportunity came up to scratch that itch. A local promotion, Jersey All Pro Wrestling, was having a contest for those who were interested in training to become a wrestler. The winner would get free training from their school.
"At the time on TV, "Tough Enough" was the big thing," Lethal said of WWE's reality series which aired on MTV. "[JAPW] didn't have the money that WWE had to put this contest on and they weren't going to be putting people in a house, eliminating them week by week. This was a one-day event in a small charity hall, bingo center which is now a liquor store. They squeezed about 50 to 60 kids in that little venue and set up that wrestling ring and they taught you four different things and whoever was able to perform these four different things the best would get trained for free."
If that pressure wasn't enough, Lethal's father, also a huge wrestling fan, took in the contest and filmed Lethal's exploits.
"I don't want to walk back over to him a loser."
Thankfully for Lethal, he didn't have to make that walk of shame toward his father. He ended up getting trained for the duration that the school was open. He made his professional debut on Oct. 26, 2001 at JAPW's "Class of 2001 Student Show," and less than a year later, he secured championship gold by becoming the JAPW Television Champion.
Lethal entered ROH for the first time in 2003 while continuing to compete with JAPW. He debuted in IMPACT Wrestling (then TNA) in Dec. 2005 where he began to make a bigger name for himself.
In IMPACT, Lethal borrowed from a wrestling legend to make himself stand out further. After entertaining the locker room with a dead-on impression of "Macho Man" Randy Savage, it was time for Lethal to share it with a wider audience.
"It wasn't until Kevin Nash heard it that he said 'You know, I love that. We've got to put that on TV,' " Lethal said. "Of course, I didn't want to because I didn't want anybody to think I was making fun of Savage or anything. (Nash) got me to do it on TV and the rest is history. I couldn't stop after that."
Lethal even spoke with Savage over the phone and he was flattered by the imitation. Over the years, he also became friends with Lanny Poffo, Savage's real-life brother. Last summer at ALL IN in suburban Chicago, Lethal resurrected the "Black Machismo" character in his ROH World Championship match against Flip Gordon and had Poffo accompany him to ringside.
Ring of Honor World Champion Jay Lethal ranks Ric Flair, Randy Savage and Bret Hart as his three favorite wrestlers. He says he learns something from every opponent he's faced and in every match he wrestles. (Photo: Ring of Honor/Bruno Silveria)
"That was awesome," Lethal said. "The reason I did it, because from top to bottom, the greatest wrestlers in the world were on that show. So I tried to think on a show where every match could be the main event, what could Jay Lethal bring to the table that no one else can? Other than good wrestling, what else could I bring to the table?"
Lethal's bout with Gordon was a unique show-stealer at ALL IN, but he appreciates all of his various opponents with which he has squared off in his career. His list of favorite opponents includes Kurt Angle, Sting, Ric Flair, Briscoe, Castle and Roderick Strong.
"Every one of them," Lethal said. "The guys with the big names and even the people you've never heard of. When I would do a one-off in Kentucky, I enjoyed stepped into the ring with any and everybody, because I've learned something from everybody that I've stepped into the ring with, no matter what their skill level. Even if it's learning something about myself."
Like my most fans, Lethal has a list of favorite wrestlers he grew up idolizing. To no one's surprise, Flair, with whom Lethal had a "Woo-off" in IMPACT, and Savage topped his list. His No. 3? Technical stalwart Bret "The Hitman" Hart. He also mentioned Chris Benoit because of his technical abilities.
Lethal also added: "Of course as a kid, I was a Warrior fan. I was a Hogan fan (too), but if I had to pick, I would've picked the Ultimate Warrior."
With nearly two decades in the books, Lethal is just enjoying the ride without setting specific goals for himself. From the looks of it, he probably has at least another 10 years or so of wrestling left in his body. Or at least a few more months as ROH World Champion – and he'll still be continuing his education in the wrestling business.
"I never set a goal to become the face of a company known around the world for its wrestling. I never set a goal to be the Ring of Honor World Champion. I never set a goal to meet or work with Ric Flair. These things just kind of happened. I'm afraid that if I do set a goal, I'm going to be jinxing myself."

On Thursday, January 11th (Today), motorists and pedestrians can expect intermittent delays between 9 p.m.-10 p.m. along the overpass due to ongoing project completion works. Traffic is expected to be delayed between 5 to 10 minutes per occurrence.
Motorists and pedestrians are encouraged to use an alternate route during this time to avoid any delays.


Two year Post-Graduate Course in Bengali (affiliated to the University of Calcutta).
The Bengali Department of this college started it's journey from 1879 (intermediate). Intellectuals from other disciplines devoted their time for teaching Bengali, because the college had no separate teacher for Bengali in its embryonic stage. Pandit Madan Mohan Tarkalankar, Kabi Kamini Roy and many other respective persons took regular classes for a long time to Bengali Department for the necessary momentum. Although the department is above the vintage test, it started off formally in 1943. Smt. Bharati Mukherjee joined as the first lecturer in Bengali. In 1948, Prof.Lila Roy joined, followed immediately by Dr. Dipti Tripathi as the Assistant Professor. In 1979,including Dr.Uma Roy, other teachers were karabi Bhattacharyya, Smt.

However, this is not always the case. Many skip hire companies now offer regarding longer durations, but only consider this option if your project is likely to take a few months to complete.

Chairman of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Business and Majority Leader, Hon. Osei Kyei Mensah-Bonsu, has indicated that the House will not respond to the pressure mounted by some group of media practitioners on the passage of the Right to Information Bill (RTI), 2018.
He stated that Parliament follow procedures in the discharge of its duties and that, pressure from Civil Society Organisations (CSO) and other individuals will not push Parliament to rush in passing the RTI Bill, 2018.
In an interview with newslinegh.com, the Leader of Government Business who doubles as Minister for Parliamentary Affairs, pointed out that it is important the House is allowed to do its work without any interference from CSOs.
"We know what we must do. We are not responding to public pressure. The people of this country have sent us here to do a good job for them. That is what we are going to do". He responded.
The Majority Leader reiterated that the House is committed to do diligent work, and that the Bill will be treated as a matter of urgency by the close of the Third Sitting.
"MPs will do what is expected of them with all due diligence. The public should be assured that the RTI Bill will be dealt with by the close of this session".
On Tuesday, October 31, 2018, a cross section of media practitioners stormed parliament in an attempt to mount pressure on the House for the passage of the Right to Information Bill, 2018.
However, their demand to sit in the public gallery was not granted and were denied entry by the security of Parliament.
The RTI Bill, 2018, has been in legislation for two decades due to failure on the part of successive governments to ensure its passage, despite several assurances.
The Bill was first drafted 22 years ago under the auspices of the Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA) with purpose of transparency and accountability in all government sectors.
The then draft Executive Bill was subsequently reviewed in 2003, 2005 and 2007 but was never laid in Parliament until February 5, 2010.
Subsequently, the Bill was withdrawn from Parliament to review and amend some controversial clauses.
On June 25, 2015, the then Minister for Justice and Attorney-General, Mrs. Marietta Brew Oppong moved for the Second Reading of the Bill in Parliament.
The Bill has undergone several amendments and is currently under the Consideration Stage at Parliament after going through First and Second Reading.

Q: What does "TypeError: can't multiply sequence by non-int of type 'tuple'" mean? #Finding the volume of a box
print("Welcome to box volume calculation! Please answer the following questions.")
x = float(raw_input("How wide is the box? ")),
y = float(raw_input("How high is the box? ")),
z = float(raw_input("How long is the box? ")),

"The volume of the box is " + str(x*y*z) + " units cubed."

The error message I'm getting:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Python25\Scripts\Randomness.py", line 22, in <module>
"The volume of the box is " + str(x*y*z) + " units cubed."
TypeError: can't multiply sequence by non-int of type 'tuple'

A: Get rid of your commas in the lines where you are asking for input.  Those lines should read:
x = float(raw_input("How wide is the box? "))
y = float(raw_input("How high is the box? "))
z = float(raw_input("How long is the box? "))

Explanation ... a statement of the form:
x = a, b, c

creates a tuple of three elements, and equally:
x = a,

creates a tuple of one element.  So here, a statement like:
x = float(raw_input(...)),

creates a tuple of one element, that element being your input!

A: Your variables are tuples not floats:
x = float(raw_input("How wide is the box? ")),
#                                            ^

The trailing comma makes your object a tuple containing one float:
>>> x = 2.2,
>>> type(x)
<class 'tuple'>

What to do? Remove all the trailing commas:
x = float(raw_input("How wide is the box? "))

Extra: The error was relating to something you didn't intend, for which the interpreter has rightly assumed you are trying to expand a tuple using another tuple. However, tuples can only be expanded using integers:
>>> x = 2.2,
>>> x * 5
(2.2, 2.2, 2.2, 2.2, 2.2)

Large-scale changes to the structure of the genome are often seen in cancer cells. Scientists at the Babraham Institute in Cambridge, UK, have found a way to detect these changes, which could enhance cancer diagnosis and aid the use of targeted treatments.
The report, in the journal Genome Biology, outlines a new application of a technique called Hi-C, which allows scientists to map how genetic material is arranged inside cells. By analysing this information, researchers can reliably identify major genetic changes that other methods may miss. This all comes at a lower cost than standard DNA sequencing methods.
Hi-C can detect chromosome rearrangements – where large sections of DNA are exchanged or moved between pieces of the genome called chromosomes – and also copy number variation – where genetic material gets copied or deleted. Both of these changes can have drastic effects on how the cell behaves.
The scientists, led by Professor Peter Fraser, used Hi-C to examine the genome of cancer cells from six people with brain tumours. They were able to identify major genome changes, often with pinpoint accuracy. Uniquely, this approach allows doctors and scientists to study genetic changes in the wider context of the whole genome. Hi-C could become a powerful tool for understanding the complex genetic changes found in many cancers.
This work was supported by the Biotechnology and Biological Science Research Council, Cancer Research UK and the University of Cambridge.
Hi-C could replace DNA sequencing as a cheaper, faster way to detect large-scale genome changes in cancer.

Tase:"The example of Azerbaijani multicultural tradition is the only way that ensures peace in the world"
The example of Azerbaijan and its multicultural tradition and heritage is the only way that ensures economic growth, religious coexistence, peace and stability over the world-US expert
The reporter of Eurasia Diary interviewed Peter Tase, political analyst and expert on international relations at Marquette University.
Eurasia Diary: What is your opinion regarding multiculturalism and religious tolerance in Azerbaijan?
Peter Tase: While visiting the region of Oghuz, region of Ismailli and the Autonomous Republic of Nakhchivan, it is evident that the Republic of Azerbaijan is a unique country where multiculturalism, interreligious dialogue, multifaceted tolerance, peaceful coexistence among religions and very effective government administration are the principal elements of the social fabric in this nation. On May 9-12, 2017, under the leadership of Academician Prof. Dr. Kamal Abdullayev (Chairman of the Board of Baku International Multiculturalism Centre), the most important writer and philologist in contemporary Azerbaijan and professor Klaus Wolf from Augsburg University in Germany organized an international conference dedicated to Azerbaijani multiculturalism in Augsburg University, Germany. On this occasion, I was honored to join a group of international friends of Azerbaijan and distinguished scholars to commemorate the birthday anniversary of Azerbaijan's National Leader, Heydar Aliyev; and to discuss the admirable values of multiculturalism among the people of Azerbaijan.
This conference was made possible thanks to the leadership and support of the President of Azerbaijan, H. E. Mr. Ilham Aliyev. Moreover, we had the opportunity to visit one of the largest synagogues in Germany and in Europe, that was built in 1914-1917, a magnificent religious monument that had survived World War II and was not destroyed by the Government of Adolf Hitler. The treasures of multiculturalism in Azerbaijan are an example that should be followed by other nations of the world. We are conscious that building artificial walls, setting up barriers to the free flow of goods and human capital; mishandling of more than two million migrants and refugees that have crossed into Europe during the last two years will further escalate the division of visions, ideas and policies that are currently taking place in the European Union over the administration and the implementation of migration, asylum procedure and in the strategy of border security. The example of Azerbaijan and its multicultural tradition and heritage is the only way that ensures economic growth, religious coexistence and peace and stability over the world.
Eurasia Diary: How can you estimate the role of the Republic of Azerbaijan in the intercultural and inter-religious dialogue?
Peter Tase: The Republic of Azerbaijan has advocated for a more effective dialogue among religions and ethnic groups at the global stage including its effective participation and vital support to many forums, international organizations and multilateral discussions. The restoration of cultural monuments such as the Gülüstan Monument in Julfa Region of Nakhchivan, the maintenance project of the Momine Khatun Mausoleum and of Noah's mausoleum, are remarkable accomplishments of the government of Azerbaijan and of the government of Autonomous Republic of Nakhchivan. Moreover, the restoration initiatives that are taking place in the villages of Lahij located in the region of Ismailli and Nij, a town located about forty kilometers to the south-west of Qabala. Regions are a true testimony of the impressive priority that the government of Azerbaijan has allocated towards the preservation of multicultural values, treasures and monuments that are inherited, for many centuries, in the sovereign territory of Azerbaijan.
Eurasia Diary: How can you assess relations between the Republic of Azerbaijan and UNESCO in cultural, educational and scientific fields?
Peter Tase: UNESCO will have a new Director General by the end of November 2017. Currently there are nine candidates from different countries that aspire to lead UNESCO during the next four years. Among them is the official candidate, nominated by the Republic of Azerbaijan, Ambassador Polad Bülbüloglu. As the next Director General of UNESCO, I strongly believe that Ambassador Bülbüloglu will further work to stop violent extremism, promote interfaith dialogue and mutual understanding. Above all, Ambassador Bülbüloglu will be an instrumental force towards the protection of cultural heritage and strengthen education policies in the Landlocked Developing Countries. These areas are key factors towards the implementation of sustainable development goals.
Moreover, UNESCO's incumbent leadership must undertake a visit to the Autonomous Republic of Nakhchivan, to visit over a dozen historical sites that deserve to be included in the World Heritage List. I am confident that Ambassador Bülbüloglu will have a genuine propensity towards the preservation of multiculturalism across many nations and will strive to preserve peace, increase the levels of education and literacy.
Eurasia Diary: How do you think, is secularism in Azerbaijan a suitable model to some Muslim countries?
