OMNI-TECH®Columbia Sportswear's Omni-Tech® products provide premium waterproof and breathable protection by keeping outside elements from getting in, while still allowing moisture vapors to move away from the skin. Microporous membranes keep water from penetrating the fabric yet allow perspiration to escape, so you stay dry. |
OMNI-HEAT®Omni-Heat® is the ultimate body heat management system for the outdoors. From technical base layer garments to advanced electronics, Omni-Heat® ensures you stay warm and comfortable in cold conditions. Omni-Heat® products help you counter the cold anywhere and everywhere. |
OMNI-SHIELD®Omni-Shield® delivers protection from the outdoors where you least expect it but need it most. This coated fabric resists all liquids below 170 degrees from absorbing into the yarns and staining the garment (without any effect on the feel of the material). The fabric itself will also dry 3-5 times faster than untreated fabric, without holding moisture like a conventional fabric, meaning it stays lighter even when its wet. |
OMNI-SHADE®Columbia Sportswear's Omni-Shade® clothing protects you from damaging UV radiation by blocking the majority of the sun's harmful rays, so you can stay out longer. Omni-Shade blocks Ultraviolet A and Ultraviolet B rays (UVA and UVB), helping to prevent sun burn and long-term skin damage through tight weave construction, UV reflectors, and UV absorbing technology. |
OMNI-WICK®This thermal transfer technology disperses body heat, keeping you significantly cooler in hot weather. Omni-Wick® keeps you cool so you can stay out longer. Specially shaped fibers facilitate the escape of body heat during warm weather or active outdoor adventures. |
We try things. That may sound like small potatoes. But more than talent, money, or good looks; trying is the fuel of progress. It's the spirit that pushes people up mountains, down rivers, and across continents. Trying helped us put little silver dots on the inside of jackets, made shirts that repel bugs, and led to a rechargeable heating system in boots. If you think trying won't help, remember the Grand Canyon started with one drop of water trying to get to the ocean. And Columbia was born as a small, family hat company in Portland. So try. Try often. Try differently. Try harder. Then try again. Greatness will follow. Columbia. Trying stuff since 1938.

PR is no longer the future of SEO. It already is PR.
SEOs recognise this, and the majority are now carrying out online PR: whether they call it that or not, all decent SEOs are now creating content and reaching out to online influencers.
General marketers realise this. In a survey we recently conducted of 250 UK marketers, 52% said that PR and SEO work closely together in their organisation, and a whopping 71% think their PR agencies are experts at SEO.
But how are those PR agencies performing in their newfound position as SEO experts?

'Learn to code'. Now there's a phrase that's been a regular feature on many people's recent New Year resolutions lists.
A quick check of Google Trends will tell you people started getting interested in late 2008, but it's really caught on in 2013.
It's been particularly picked up in the digital marketing community, and quite rightly. A fundamental understanding of the backend workings of digital properties is invaluable knowledge for any digital media or marketing professional.
So firstly, to clear up any confusion, I by no means want to discourage anyone looking to learn, or to be negative about the subject at all. I just want to call for some clarity on what 'learning to code' really means.

The press release, the original tool of the PR pro, is broken.
It happened in stages. First there came email, prior to which press releases had been faxed or posted to editors, the laboriousness of the task forcing PR people to choose their targets with appropriate care and attention.
But with email, you can grab a list and not think twice about bunging it out to all and sundry. The result was laziness leading to abuse.
Then came the SEO industry. The press release's power for generating link juice was spotted. Stick a press release on a wire and regardless of its quality or newsworthiness, its content and links will get replicated across the web, even on some authoritative domains.
Once again, the result was laziness leading to abuse.

He was more excited than I was, I think. At my age, it was nice to be called the birthday girl.
Good service, good food and especially good company.
Taste before serving and add more salt and pepper as necessary.
½ cup sugar
This is one of the best cold weather meals in my book! Happy belated birthday and happy to find you on FoodBuzz. Check my blog tomorrow for and equally yummy cold weather crock pot recipe!
ReplyDeleteThis is the best chili recipe I have found. Now my family's favorite!
DeleteThis corn bread is yummy! I was making it from a packet and the hubby said it tasted like card board lol! This is far from card board :)
ReplyDeleteMy husband has always been the chili maker in the house...until I found this. We've had it several times already and every time I've made it there isn't a drop left. Everyone loves it, including the kids! We even upgraded my crock pot (I had a 4 qt and the ingredients just barely fit) just so we could make a bigger batch! Thank you so much for this delicious and easy recipe!
ReplyDeleteI made a big pot of chili and thought cornbread would be a nice complement. In 28 years of marriage, I'd never made it. When I asked hubby if he liked cornbread, he made a face and said, "it's ok". Unswayed, I gave this recipe a try. I used Bob's Red Mill whole grain cornmeal - medium grind which gave it some crunch. Baked the batter in an 8 x 8 glass dish. It took nearly 30 minutes and my oven temp is accurate. OMG is this recipe delicious! When hubby ate a piece, he kept saying how good it was and he ate another. Apparently, the cornbreads he's had in the past were dry and tasteless. I have to control myself from eating the whole pan. Thanks again for another fabulous recipe!
ReplyDeleteI have made the cornbread 3 times now. This is such good, moist, and just plain corn goodness. I have had such great luck with the recipes you post! I am going to be making a carrot cake in the next week...I only wish I was using a recipe from you, because then I know it would be great, lol! Anyway, the cornbread is awesome. We always devour it.
ReplyDeleteI made this Chili and Cornbread tonight!! I could have eaten the entire pan of cornbread!! SOOOO good!!! I have tried SO many of your recipes...they never disappoint! Thank you!!!
I make my cornbread with Lilly White Cornmeal (recipe on back of bag) in a 10" iron skillet. Put your skillet in the oven & get it hot with a little oil to keep the cornbread from sticking. Let the cornbread cool just a bit. Turn the iron skillet up side down. The cornbread also know as a corn pone should just fall out. As far as peanut butter & crackers with chili. My husband who's southern born has been eating peanut butter & jelly sandwiches with his chili since he was a little boy . Oh tried your hamburger steak recipe it was Yummy.
I am just tickled pink when anyone takes their precious time to leave me a message. Thank you for stopping by and thank you for commenting!
Just remember to be nice and keep it clean. This is a family blog and if you wouldn't say it to me while in my home, then don't type it on here. Thank ya kindly!

There seems to be a commonly held belief that the prophet Muhammad (and the prophets in general) are somehow protected from ever committing any sin. I have seen nothing in the Qur'an to suggest this, nor am I aware of any authentic hadith to support this claim. It has always been my understanding that the prophets are men like any other, specially chosen by the Almighty to relay His message but not necessarily granted any rights and privileges other than what He has explicitly stated. Even if the prophets were among the best men of their generation, they would still be susceptible to the same trials and temptations of any other man, and thus to sinning. Where does this belief of sinlessness come from? Does it have an authentic source, or is it merely bid'ah? |
وَمَا يَنطِقُ عَنِ الْهَوَى إِنْ هُوَ إِلاَّ وَحْيٌ يُوحَى he does not speak/think (or do something) from [his own] inclination It is not but a revelation revealed |
Now, Yes, Rasullah was Sinless because Allah has forgiven him for his previous sins and after he became Prophet he likely as not did not commit a single sin, but if he did he repented. and Allah Forgave him (For he is the oft-forgiving the most merciful) and all prophets were the same in this aspect. King_Lady Allah SWT gave the prophet (pbuh) a dream that he is to marry Aisha, he told his best friend (Aisha's father) about this dream, they agreed that the prophet was to Marry Aisha and when she came of age that she would live with the Prophet Muhamad (Pbuh) This was because she was to provide the Hadeeth and thus without Aisha (Rade Allahu anha) Islam would not be complete, mashallah. She was a smart lady, and she knew what she was doing and she was not forced into anything. Neither can you King_Lady compare women now to back then, It was a different situation and a different life, Hormones, human growth/ So many things have to be considered. Such as did he even consummate the marriage when she was 9 years old? Or did they only live together? He had other wives so I can come to that conclusion. and what did you say? he had relations with her before? where do you come up with this stuff? You couldn't use this hadeeth to make Islam look bad so you add something like "and he slept with her before" You king_lady, are a desperate person, Islam will grow regardless of your lies, and it will dominate because it is the religion of Allah, the one and only God The merciful The gracious. |
Not even the prophets knew if they were going to Jannah. |

This all guesswork on my part, but, It should be easy to add in new data types in the style sheets. I don't think anything is hard coded. But mapping the data types from orm to sql is the trickey part. There has to be a type in orm that corresponds to the new data types in the database model you want to generate. So you need to update at least two style sheets.
I think the style sheet that names the types in sql standard has the word "sql" in the file name.
Hi Tom,
For a short-term workaround on adding additional data types look at http://www.ormfoundation.org/forums/p/601/1835.aspx#1835. You could also combine this with custom properties (similar to http://www.ormfoundation.org/forums/p/573/1698.aspx#1698), which would give a cleaner user experience. In fact, you could probably go as far as a custom property that simply picks, and ignore the conceptual data type if it is populated.
The bigger question here is a conceptual model vs. physical model issue. From a per conceptual perspective, I can see datetimeoffset as being different from datetime, but it is hard to treat datetime and datetime2 as different types. What I would like to avoid is expanding the list of conceptual data types to be a superset of all of the implementations we target.
The current data types have served marginally for a long time, but they are basically just placeholders for real data types. Sometime this year I will be expanding the data types to allow simple type hierarchies (restrictions on other types) and formal facet definitions (currently, there are simply two slots that are shown and renamed at different times). This would allow, for example, a regex facet on a string data type, which isn't currently handled. It would also allow for extensions to add facets to core data types, including target-specific extensions like the SQL server data types. Basically, you could then add your own 'DataTimeOffset' data type to the model (with the SQL Server type specified as an extension facet) and use your own specialized type as the data type for multiple value types in your model.
Another parallel option is to add a settings file to the SQL generation. A settings file is a 'write once' generated file that the user can edit to affect the contents of other generated files. In the SQL case, you could then pick your target SQL server flavor and we could map the data types better for the newer SQL variants. This one is low hanging fruit (the NORMA generator already supports this concept).
So, while I'm reticent to simply extend the core list of data types, I need to address the broader issue soon.
I seem to recall that in the period "BN" (Before NORMA - aka the "Old Days"), the ORM tools required you to choose a target DBMS before starting to create a model. Then, when you created a new object type, your selection of data type was restricted to those that were available in your target DBMS.
Thanks Matt
You make a good point about the conceptual model vs physical model.
Hopefully this weekend I can look into either creating the settings file for the SQL generation or hijacking the datatypes like you suggested :)
On a side note, is there a roadmap for the additional features and changes you are bringing into NORMA?
I don't have a need for all of the various SQL Server date/time datatypes, but I intend to make use of the Date datatype. As Tom pointed out, the conceptual model already has three date/time datatypes, my issue is (as he also noted) that they are all mapped to the SQL Server datetime datatype. All I did - based on the forum links that Matt provided - was to modify DDILtoSQLServer.xslt by expanding:
<xsl:template match="@type[.='DATE' or .='TIME' or .='TIMESTAMP']" mode="ForDataType">
<xsl:template match="@type[.='DATE']" mode="ForDataType">
<xsl:template match="@type[.='TIME']" mode="ForDataType">
<xsl:template match="@type[.='TIMESTAMP']" mode="ForDataType">
Easy peasy: my DDL now makes use of both Date and Datetime column definitions.
Maybe this was too obvious to have been mentioned, but maybe there are also others out there as dense as I that can make use of it.
- Chris

Scourge of War Gettysburg, a new Gettysburg game somewhat similar to Sid Meier's Gettysburg, has been released for purchase. The game has been created by Norb Timpko, the same developer who worked on Take Command: 2nd Manassas. I worked on the Order of Battle for the game, including armament , unit strengths, and unit and leader ratings. The latter two were changed a bit once the scenario creation started to ensure a good gaming experience. Larry Tagg, the author of several books on Gettysburg, was also involved in the process. Scourge of War Gettysburg features multiplayer action too, on one side vs. the AI or vs. each other. Go check it out and let me know what you think!

Unions plan 'emergency days' to lobby lawmakers
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) - Legislative leaders discussed a developing plan to deal with Illinois' $100 billion pension crisis as the state's biggest employee unions planned a lobbying push to oppose it.
The "We are One Coalition" represents the state's major public employee unions. It alerted members this week about "emergency call-in days" next week and on Dec. 2-3.
Members are being asked to call lawmakers and urge them to vote against pension bills that don't have union support.
Legislative leaders spoke Thursday about a plan they say could save close to $150 billion over 30 years. Officials reported progress but said more meetings are expected. Lawmakers have been alerted about a possible special session on Dec. 3.
Unions say they weren't consulted about the plan and that they think elements of it are unconstitutional.
Missouri budget coming higher than expected
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) - Missouri budget officials say the state's tax revenues have increased 2.5 percent through the first four months of the current fiscal year.
The state Office of Administration on Monday reported net general revenues through October. The state's current budget took effect July 1 and runs through next June.
For the current budget year so far, state corporate income and franchise taxes are up more than 26 percent. Individual income taxes are up 3.8 percent and sales taxes have increased 4.4 percent.
MO officials weighing funding increases
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) - After years of talking about less spending, some Missouri officials now are talking about more.
Gov. Jay Nixon suggested recently that he would like to spend hundreds of millions of additional dollars on public schools before his term ends in three years.
There may also be more money available for other programs in the next budget year.
State departments already have turned in proposed budgets for the fiscal year that starts next July. And advocates for various social services have started making funding pitches to lawmakers.
Nixon's budget director, Linda Luebbering, says revenues are looking better and there could be room to fund a few more things.
House Budget Committee Chairman Rick Stream also says funding increases are possible for some programs.
Nixon plans `significant down payment' for schools
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) - Missouri Governor Jay Nixon says he plans a "significant down payment" toward his goal of fully funding the state's school funding formula.
The Democratic governor told a gathering of public school leaders Wednesday he's working to fund the K-12 school formula by the time he leaves office in January 2017.
The current year's budget provides almost $3.1 billion in basic aid to elementary and secondary schools. State officials project the current funding level would be $556 million short of the target for next year's budget.
Nixon also said he wants to expand access to early childhood education and will continue implementing accountability measures such as the Common Core education standards.
IL Veto Session: Gambling, funding requests on day 2 agenda
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) - Illinois lawmakers are returning to the state capitol for a second day of their annual fall veto session.
After getting off to a sputtering start Tuesday, the schedule on Wednesday is shaping up to include a hearing on gambling and more requests by state agencies for additional funds.
Horsemen and officials from the Illinois racetracks want lawmakers to authorize a law that allows for online betting. And lawmakers are reviving talks on a larger gambling bill that stalled this spring.
Tuesday also saw a gay marriage rally as part of an effort to make such unions legal in Illinois.
Lawmakers have yet to address the state's $97 billion pension shortfall and tax incentives aimed at keeping Archer Daniels Midland Company's global headquarters in Illinois.
Obama signs bill to avert default, open government
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama has signed a measure into law reopening the federal government and averting a potential default.
The White House says Obama signed the bill early Thursday, hours after the House gave final approval.
The White House budget office has already instructed federal workers to plan to return to work Thursday morning.
The measure restores funding for the government through Jan. 15 and extends the nation's borrowing authority through Feb. 7.
The partial government shutdown started Oct. 1. The U.S. was to reach its debt limit Thursday if no deal was reached.
As the deal neared final passage in the House Wednesday, Obama said it was now time for leaders in Washington to win back the trust of Americans that was lost during the debt-and-spending crisis.
Nixon releases money to help rebuild Missouri school
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) - Gov. Jay Nixon has released $1 million in state funding to help rebuild a northeast Missouri vocational school destroyed by fire.
Lawmakers included funding for the Pike-Lincoln Technical Center in the current year's budget, but Nixon vetoed the appropriation.
The Legislature overrode the veto in September. But Nixon then froze the spending while determining if there was enough money in a particular fund to pay for it and whether the fund could legally be used for the project.
Nixon's budget director said Monday that the $1 million for the school had been released last week.
Normandy School Dist. will have better budget picture in spring
Normandy officials say it's too soon to say whether the cost of hundreds of students transferring out of the unaccredited district will lead to major budget cuts.
Assistant Superintendent of Operations, Mick Willis, told board members Wednesday night that staffing levels, the number of buildings the district can operate and the number of services it can provide are largely driven by the number of students enrolled in the district.
"We have to pay a lot of attention to enrollment, what those numbers look like," Willis said. "And then where we should be relative to those enrollment numbers."
A final budget recommendation will be made to the board in June, after property tax revenues are determined.
Parents who attended Wednesday's board meeting were more concerned about the district's progress toward accreditation.
Shutdown jeopardizes nutrition program for poor
ALLENTOWN, Pa. (AP) — Jacob Quick is a fat and happy 4 month old with a big and expensive appetite. Like millions of other poor women, Jacob's mother relies on the federal Women, Infants and Children program to pay for infant formula — aid that is now jeopardized by the government shutdown.
Pennsylvania and other states say they can operate WIC at least through the end of October, easing fears among officials that it would run out of money within days. But advocates and others worry what will happen if the shutdown drags on beyond that.
"What's going to happen to my baby?" asked Jacob's mother, Cierra Schoeneberger, as she fed him a bottle of formula bought with her WIC voucher. "Am I going to have to feed him regular milk, or am I going to have to scrounge up the little bit of change I do have for formula or even baby food?"
WIC serves nearly 9 million mothers and young children, providing what advocates say is vital nutrition that poor families might otherwise be unable to afford.
Schoenberger, for example, said her son goes through about $40 worth of formula a week. "It's like a car payment," said the unemployed mother of three.
The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children — better known as WIC — supplies low-income women with checks or debit cards that can be used for infant formula and cereal, fruits and vegetables, dairy items and other healthy food. WIC also provides breast-feeding support and nutrition classes. Poor women with children under 5 are eligible.
Just before the shutdown, the U.S. Department of Agriculture had warned that states would run out of WIC cash after a "week or so." Now the agency says WIC should be able to provide benefits through late October, with states using $100 million in federal contingency money released Wednesday and $280 million in unspent funds from the last budget year.
If the aid dries up, desperate moms will probably dilute their babies' formula with water to make it last longer, or simply give them water or milk, said the Rev. Douglas A. Greenaway, head of the National WIC Association, an advocacy group. Pediatricians say children under 1 shouldn't drink cow's milk because they can develop iron deficiency anemia.
"These mothers have trust and confidence in this program, and that trust and confidence has been shaken by Congress," Greenaway said. "This is just unconscionable."
Danyelle Brents, 22, a single mother of three, receives about $200 a month in vouchers for food and formula for her two children and baby. She is being hit doubly hard by the shutdown: She is a contract worker for the Federal Aviation Administration who catalogs records for aircraft certification, and is furloughed. Now, with her baby going through 10 cans of formula a month, she might lose key help with her grocery bill.
"That's a lot of money, $15 a can," she said. "Now that I'm out of work, WIC is how I support my family. ... I'm scared at this point to go buy anything extra."
Groups that fight hunger say they are also concerned about the confusion that needy mothers may be feeling. Though most WIC offices are open, many mothers mistakenly assumed that benefits were cut off.
Advocates are also worried that there will be a cumulative effect as other, smaller government feeding programs run out of money.
Adding to the uncertainty: While USDA has said that food stamps are guaranteed to continue through October, it is unclear what will happen after that.
In Pennsylvania, whose $208 million WIC program supports 250,000 women and children, all local WIC offices remain open and benefits are being dispensed as usual. The state Health Department said it has $25.5 million on hand to continue operating the program through October. Ohio said it has enough money to last through the second week of November.
"Ohio WIC is open for business!" proclaimed the headline on a state website.
Utah's WIC program, though, immediately closed its doors Tuesday in the wake of the government shutdown, meaning that families who hadn't already received their October vouchers were out of luck and new applications couldn't be processed. The state got $2.5 million in USDA funding on Thursday, and WIC offices throughout the state planned to reopen by noon Friday.
Charitable groups were already filling the void. A Facebook group called "The People's WIC — Utah" was launched hours after WIC offices closed, matching up families in need with those able to donate formula and other food.
In Layton, about 25 miles north of Salt Lake City, a donation drive was planned for Saturday, with organizers asking for fresh fruits and vegetables, unopened baby formula and other necessities.
Food banks, meanwhile, are bracing for a surge in requests for help if WIC runs out of money.
Linda Zimmerman, executive director of Neighbors In Need, which runs 11 food banks in Massachusetts, said her organization already provides a lot of baby formula to its clients, most of whom get WIC aid as well.
"I think they're truly nervous," Zimmerman said. "We're going to have to be doing a lot of work to make sure we can keep up with need for infant formula."
In some places, grocery stores refused to honor WIC vouchers, assuming they wouldn't get paid. Terry Bryce, director of Oklahoma's WIC program, said WIC officials called and emailed grocers to assure them the program is still funded.
In New Jersey, Patricia Jones said she is worried about losing her WIC assistance.
"You're affecting families that haven't done anything to you," said Jones, a 34-year-old mother of five. Because of the shutdown, she was turned away from the Social Security Administration office in Newark when she tried to get printouts of her children's Social Security numbers to renew her welfare and WIC benefits.
Associated Press Writers Mary Clare Jalonick in Washington, Samantha Henry in Newark, Tim Talley in Oklahoma City, Bridget Murphy in Boston and Dan Sewell in Cincinnati contributed to this story.
STL area veterans visit WWII memorial amid shut down
Despite the federal shutdown that has closed hundreds of National Parks Service sites, World War II veterans from St. Louis were able to visit their memorial in Washington D.C. yesterday.
It was initially feared the veterans, on Honor Flights from Missouri and Illinois, many in their nineties, wouldn't be allowed to view the memorial because of the shutdown.
On Tuesday, images of vets stepping past ribbons and barricades to access the site garnered negative national attention. But yesterday, 29 local veterans were welcomed by Park Service rangers at the site.

"Gothic Kitty" creator Holly Crawford has been sentenced to six months of house arrest for using a 14-gauge needle to pierce the ears, necks and tails of three kittens and then attempting to sell the maimed felines over the Internet. The 35-year-old Pennsylvania woman was further ordered to close her dog grooming business for at least two years. Despite opposition from concerned citizens, the judge ruled in favor of allowing Crawford to maintain guardianship over her other pets, including a dog, three cats and three snakes.
Crawford was initially charged after a tip led humane investigators and the state police to her home on December 17, 2008. Investigators found and seized three kittens wearing heavy piercing jewelry on their ears, necks and tails. At least one of the kittens had a thick elastic band wrapped around his tail to prevent blood flow, as a means of docking it.
Despite arguments that Crawford used sterile needles and surgical soap when piercing the kittens, a Luzerne County jury found her guilty of animal cruelty. Helping to seal the conviction was expert testimony from the ASPCA's leading forensics veterinarian, Dr. Melinda Merck, who testified that the kittens had been maimed and disfigured, had their hearing damaged, and could have died.
"I was very happy to work with the Luzerne County District Attorney's Office on this case of abuse," says Dr. Merck. "The idea of mutilating animals in such a way for profit is appalling, I am glad justice was served."
If you know of an animal who is being hurt, please report it. To report animal cruelty in New York City, call the ASPCA's tip line at (877) THE-ASPCA. Visit our Report Cruelty FAQ to learn how to report cruelty elsewhere.
This is simply awful to do this to these poor babies, and then try to make a profit out of them; how cruel. The judge should have not allowed her to have any type of animals in her possession. What makes the judge believe she won't torture another again? Bad judgment.
a judge should judge by what is right---whats wrong with piecing a pet.. and why shut down her buisness. when she has done nothing wrong--this is communism
Communism? that may be the most foolish thing I've heard in a while - did you not read the part where a veterinarian said that the animals were disfigured and could have died...and only for cosmetic purposes?
Pets need piercing as much as fish need bicycles. When you find a pet that can read, comprehend and sign a consent form then I will support it's piercing. Please, Brian M., don't ever adopt a pet.
What's wrong with it? Did the animals consent to such treatment? of course not as they can not. So they were put through the pain of piercings for cosmetic purposes only? I bet you also think it's okay to have sex with an animal as long as the animal doesn't say no.
you shouldn't have concerns about the judge shutting down her business because what dog owner in their right minds would trust her to groom their dog after this? she put herself out of business. People CHOOSE to pierce themselves, these kittens didn't have a choice. They also don't have the self contrtol to know when they risk hurting themselves by tearing out one of the piercings when they do what cats do, play......and I'm not that big fan of cats....and isn't it odd she didn't do it to her own pets??? obviously not or she wouldn't be allowed to keep them...
Communism? Pffft. Everyone knows the US is all Socialist.
We have 15 cats of our (me, my mom, my mom's mom, my sister and my neice) own in my 1 bedroom apartment in Auburndale, Queens, NYC. We've pierced all of them in the same way. I don't see anything illegal or inhumane about it.

Two people were dead and 182 others were taken to hospitals after Saturday morning's crash landing of an Asiana Airlines Boeing 777 at San Francisco International Airport, authorities told reporters Saturday evening.
-- The two fatalities aboard the Asiana Airlines flight were Chinese passport holders, said Choi Jeong-ho, head of aviation policy bureau of South Korea's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport.
-- While the exact cause of the Asiana Airlines crash will take months to determine, Choi said "the tail of the Asiana flight hit the runway and the aircraft veered to the left out of the runway."
Crash details, and the investigation:
-- On board were 291 passengers and 16 flight crew members, traveling from Incheon International Airport in Seoul to San Francisco, according to Asiana Airlines. All 307 have been accounted for.
-- Of the 291 passengers, 61 are Americans, Asiana Airlines said. It said 77 of the passengers are South Koreans, 141 are Chinese and one is Japanese.
-- During the crash at airport, plane shed its tail and spun before screeching to a stop.
-- The top of the aircraft was charred and, in spots, gone entirely, video from CNN affiliate KTVU showed. The plane was on its belly, with no landing gear evident and the rear tail of the plane gone. Debris settled from the water's edge, along San Francisco Bay, up to where the plane eventually came to a stop.
-- The two fatalities were found outside the plane, with San Francisco Fire Chief Joanne Hayes-White saying it was her understanding "that they were found on the runway."
-- The fire chief added that when crews arrived, "some of the passengers (were) coming out of the water. But the plane was certainly not in the water."
She said, "There was a fire on the plane, so the assumption might be that they went near the water's edge, which is very shallow to maybe douse themselves with water."
-- Of the 52 people taken to San Francisco General Hospital, five were in critical condition; five were in serious condition and the conditions of the rest weren't immediately available, hospital spokeswoman Rachael Kagan said. Some of the 52 have been released, she said.
-- One of the people on the flight, Elliott Stone, told CNN that he thought the plane was approaching "a little high (then came) down a little sharp."
"All of a sudden, boom, the back end just hit and flies up into the air and everyone's head goes up the ceiling," said Stone, who said that he ended up jumping out the plane without using the stairs or an evacuation slide.
-- Anthony Castorani, who saw the flight land from a nearby hotel, said he saw the plane touch the ground then noticed a larger plume of white smoke. "You heard a pop and you immediately saw a large, brief fireball that came from underneath the aircraft," he told CNN. "It began to cartwheel."
-- Eunice Bird Rah told CNN that her father was aboard the flight. Speaking from the San Francisco area, she said that her father sent text messages to her after the landing and said he was fine. When she asked about whether others were injured, he said it appeared that most people made it out OK, but also said there were some serious injuries.
"I think ... he didn't want me to know the full-on details of what was going on around him."
A photo taken by her father shows flames and smoke bursting out of many of the aircraft's windows. Rah's father knew something bad was coming, he told his daughter, indicating the plane was coming in too low and the pilot tried to raise it at the last minute.
-- Kristina Stapchuck saw the dramatic scene unfold from her seat on a plane on the airport tarmac. Soon after Flight 214 touched down, "it looked like the tires slipped a little bit and it rocked back," she told CNN. Parts of the plane began to break off as it rocked and then began to spin. "It all happened so suddenly," Stapchuck said.
-- A photograph posted to Twitter shows what appear to be passengers walking off the plane, some of them toting bags, as smoke rises from the other side.
-- CNN iReporter Timothy Clark was on an eighth-floor balcony of a nearby hotel when he heard the noise and saw a "dust cloud," followed by "people running from the plane, then flames."
-- There are no signs of terrorism related to the crash, a national security official told CNN.
-- A National Transportation Safety Board team was about to leave from Washington for San Francisco, NTSB chairwoman Deborah Hersman told reporters at about 6 p.m. ET. "We have not determined what the focus of this investigation is yet. ... Everything is on the table at this point." The team will include people focused on operations; human performance; survival factors; airport operations; and aircraft systems, structure and power.

Johnnie Walker Deco & Old Parr Tribute
Hi im new to the forum and would like to ask a quick few questions, I have a bottle of Johnnie Walker Deco which is unopened and in its original tubular canister, when i remove the bottle from the tube there is a rust ring at the bottom of the tube where the bottle rests, is this common as my 3 brothers also have a bottle with the same small problem and also does it affect the value?
The other question i have is regarding Old Parr Tribute, i cant seem to find much information about this particular bottling and cant seem to find a value for it either so any help would be appreciated. Thanks again . Ian If photos are needed please let me know. Thanks |
We can see if we can get more info for you, but as always need photos. Keep in mind we're not able to provide valuations for these bottles, although we can date likely have them dated (provided photos are posted) and see if we can find out what's going on with the rust issue.

McAfee Employees to Teach Kids About Cyber Safety, "H*Commerce" Documentary to Air on Television and Expertise Provided to International Spy Museum Exhibit
SANTA CLARA, Calif., October 09, 2009 - McAfee, Inc. (NYSE:MFE) today announced its support of the 2009 National Cyber Security Awareness Month. The company will launch a Cybersecurity for Kids teaching program, broadcast the "H*Commerce: The Business of Hacking You" documentary and participate in the "Weapons of Mass Distribution" gallery at the International Spy Museum in Washington D.C. These efforts are part of the McAfee Initiative to Fight Cybercrime.
Organized by the National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA), National Cyber Security Awareness Month is an intensive awareness campaign reaching out to consumers, small businesses, educators, children and other stakeholders in order to raise awareness about the importance of computer security and to educate individuals about practices and technologies they can use to protect themselves online.
"Cybersecurity education is an important issue no matter the time of year," said Dave DeWalt, president and chief executive officer, McAfee. "Cybercrime is rapidly growing. McAfee Labs reports a new piece of malware is now introduced on average every 30 seconds. Given this increasing trend, we are pleased to help teach about online safety."
"Our digital culture is rapidly advancing; however only five states currently have curriculums around cyber safety," said Michael Kaiser, executive director, NCSA. "It is important to bring Cyber Safety and Cyber Ethics education to schools around the country. We are excited to have McAfee's support in this program."
Partnering with the NCSA Cybersecurity Awareness Volunteer Education Project (C-SAVE), McAfee employees from Santa Clara, Calif; Plano, Texas; Beaverton, Ore; and St. Paul, Minn. will educate local K-12 students about how to be safe online. Over 100 McAfee employees have volunteered to teach students in their local community as part of this pilot program.
Starting the weekend of October 17, "H*Commerce: The Business of Hacking You" will air on WNBC New York, KNTV San Francisco, WRC Washington DC and KXAS Dallas. The documentary began as a web film series hosted on www.StopHCommerce.com, a site dedicated to educating consumers about online threats and how to protect themselves. Directed by Seth Gordon, the documentary explores the relentless techniques used by cybercriminals and profiles Janella Spears, who lost more than $440,000 in one of the most elaborate email scams on record.
The documentary will be aired on the following dates and times:
WNBC New York
Saturday, October 17 – 7:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.

Beyond the moments of strong demarcation which come with the section breaks, there is one clearly audible structural marker: the top voice opens each of the five Ordinary movements with the same beautifully crafted motto opening, the first segment of which begins with the descending tetrachord FEDC before expanding to fill the entire middle octave, CC, of its range (the total compass of the part extends three notes either side of this). Along with a few other characteristic melodic ideas, this archetypically simple pattern recurs in a variety of figurative guises during the course of the work, though it does so more as part of the ever-changing ebb and flow of the piece than as a motive or theme in the modern sense. This observation further serves to highlight the way in which this style, far from projecting its effects with the kind of self-dramatizing insistence we might expect from the experience of later music, instead allows its ideas to proliferate with little concern for direct repetition or other similarly clear-cut auditory cues. It aims, rather, at a maximum of variety and invention (Tinctoriss famed varietas) within an overall textural ideal of unforced clarity and balance. This of course doesnt mean that it refuses ever to adopt a more demonstrative tone of voice. On the contrary, it goes through passages of melodic and rhythmic intensification, and even presents flashes of brilliance and moments of grandeur, from time to time. (The Cum Sancto Spiritu at the end of the Gloria, the brilliant high-lying melody of the Et ponam section of the Gradual, and the et vitam venturi conclusion to the Credo are cases in point.) But these serve precisely to reinforce, by means of contrast, the listeners cumulative impression of an infinitely subtle, endlessly inventive play of sonority in which technical and expressive means have been mastered with elegance and ease.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Now the Texas Rangers can put Vladimir Guerrero back in the lineup without worrying about his glove. They sure can use his bat.
When the Rangers play the first World Series home game in the franchise's 50 seasons, with Game 3 on Saturday night, they'll be able to use the designated hitter — and they'll be trying to dig out of a huge hole.
With the big bats a big bust so far, Texas is down 0-2 in the best-of-seven series after losing 9-0 to Matt Cain and the San Francisco Giants on Thursday night.
"Well, the challenge is we have to go home and we have to get a win," manager Ron Washington said. "We're certainly confident when we get back to Texas we can turn this thing around. Just as they won two games here in San Francisco we can get back to Texas and do the same thing. We expect to do that."
The Rangers better find some offense fast, especially from the middle of the lineup.
Michael Young, Josh Hamilton and Nelson Cruz are a combined 3 for 25 (.120) in the World Series, and the Rangers are hitting .227 as a team. They have scored only seven runs, what San Francisco got Thursday night in one inning after they had two outs and nobody on base before breaking loose.
"I expected more out of us," Hamilton said. "The Giants are hitting on all cylinders right now. We obviously aren't."
Texas played Game 2 without Guerrero, their usual DH who has to play in the field in the NL park. He had two errors in right field in the 11-7 loss in series opener, though Washington insisted before Game 2 that the fielding miscues had nothing to do with Guerrero not starting again.
Back at Rangers Ballpark playing by AL rules, Guerrero will be hitting fourth again as the DH.
Guerrero committed both of his fielding errors in the eighth inning after Game 1 had already gotten out of hand. He at least contributed offensively, driving in a pair of runs with an RBI single in the first and later a sacrifice fly.
Washington said Guerrero would be in the outfield again if the series gets back to the West Coast.
That seems like a big if right now.
Talk about Texas toast — teams from the Lone Star State are 0-6 in World Series games. The Houston Astros were swept in four games by the Chicago White Sox five years ago in their only appearance.
The Rangers managed only four hits and went 0 for 8 with runners in scoring position in Game 2. Even when Young and Hamilton had consecutive singles in the sixth inning, the Rangers couldn't score.
With Young at third and Hamilton on second after their hits and a wild pitch by Cain, Cruz fouled out to the first baseman. Ian Kinsler, who nearly homered earlier, flied out to end the inning and slammed his helmet in frustration.
"The way we're playing, it's just not us," Cruz said.
Hamilton, the majors' leading hitter in the regular season at .359, is 1 for 8 and hasn't driven in a run in the World Series. Same for Young, the longest-tenured Rangers player in his 10th season and the team's career hits leader. Cruz is 1 for 9 with two RBIs and three strikeouts.
Leadoff hitter Elvis Andrus drew a one-out walk and stole second base in the eighth, when the Rangers still trailed only 2-0. He was stranded there when Young and Hamilton flied out.
"We had some opportunities early in the ballgame to put some runs on the board, and we had the right people up there, and (Cain) made his pitches. That's what he does well," Washington said. "We just couldn't get it done."
San Francisco scored seven runs in the bottom half of the eighth off four relievers.
The game was scoreless when Kinsler led off the fifth with a drive that hit the top of the center-field wall and ricocheted back into play for a double. Kinsler got no farther after the Rangers failed to get another ball out of the infield that inning.
Edgar Renteria, the No. 8 hitter in the San Francisco order, hit a solo homer in the bottom of the fifth. That was enough for the Giants, though they piled on plenty more later.
The Rangers, who have never won in 11 games at AT&T Park, have to take at least two of three at home to force the series back to the ballpark by the bay next week.
"Honestly, now more than ever, just relax," Hamilton said when asked what the Rangers have to do. "Everybody says the pressure's on us. You can't feel that way. ... We've got to go have fun."
And get some hits.
