JML Ironing Board Cover
We're not particularly great fans of ironing here, but this funky JML ironing board cover certainly has the potential to change our minds!
Available in a range of bold, eye-popping patterns (our personal favourite is the clothes pegs design), it not only makes the usually mundane act of ironing more fun, but also redecorates tired looking boards in an instant.
Of course it's not all about aesthetics; the JML ironing board cover flaunts plenty of function too - elasticated edges keep it tightly in place (and makes it easy to fit), while the special non-slip cotton surface holds fabrics securely (even silk).
The thick underlay cleverly reflects heat - an effect that allows you to iron both sides of the fabric at once, saving time and electricity.
The cover fits almost any size of ironing board and is machine washable. 1 year guarantee.
Please note: the Stones design is no longer available.

Also, because it is a glove it allows for total control and movement of the hand. The incredible oven glove also fits either hand, making it easy for all members of the family to use. 1 year guarantee.

Recent Harbor Springs Reviews
I was recently traveling with my partner and mother-in-law on holiday for four days. My visit to Harbor Springs was absolutely delightful, and this rental was a big part of that experience. The unit overall was beautifully decorated, well appointed, and in mint condition. It also appeared to have been recently renovated from top to bottom, and it was obvious that the owners gave a lot of thought to almost every detail. The size of this property was just perfect for us as there was a wonderful master bedroom and a smaller second bedroom. The house was stocked with everything that one would need for a holiday and included many items that went up and beyond what one would expect to find in an average rental. In fact, a couple of days prior to my arrival, I had inquired about beach towels and chairs, and was informed that they did not come with the property. Upon arrival, the owners had purchased brand new beach towels and two Brookstone beach chairs just for our use, which we very much appreciated. Finally, the property is centrally located downtown, right off of Main Street. We found this to be ideal as we were near numerous restaurants and shops as well as the water. I would definitely consider renting this property again on my next visit to Harbor Springs and will have nothing but fond memories of my stay.
We enjoyed our stay here in Harbor Springs. Everything was as expected and Patty was great to work with. Nice amenities - we enjoyed the weight room, hot tub and swimming pool. The drive around the shoreline of Lake Michigan was awesome.

Strapless Tulle A-line Gown with Beaded Appliques Style V3469 46 46
Pictures Don't Do this Beauty Justice! I am 5'0 and at a 34 C, I was extremely worried about finding a dress that fit me well that DIDN'T make me look like a cupcake. I am a huge tomboy and wanted a dress that I could wear some Converse under. I loaded up my 'maids, my mom, and future MIL and to David's Bridal we went. I originally had my heart set on the mermaid fit (ended up being waaayyy too tight around the knees). This was the second dress I tried on. Like some of the other reviewers, I wasn't completely sold on it originally and tried on five or six other dresses. I was down to this and one other design when the consultant had me try on both of them. It was when she added the sash that I (and all my gals) burst into tears. And I DO. NOT. CRY. I rang that bell like a mad woman and I am so STOKED to wear this at my wedding in November! July 17, 2014
Beautiful dress! The dress was beautiful and comfortable! I loved the corset back as it slimmed my waist and lifted my bust area. My husband also loved when he saw me walk down the aisle in it which is all I was looking for to begin with! July 15, 2014
Love this gown! I had a hard time finding a dress because I'm petite and curvy, with a smaller waist and big hips. I wanted a dress that looked bridal but didn't overwhelm me b/c I'm short, and was also figure flattering. I tried on about 20 dresses, and this one was absolutely perfect in fit. It was a beautiful combination of lace and tulle. I didn't think I would be a tulle kind of girl, but the fitted lace bodice keeps it from being overly sweet or too young. I absolutely loved wearing this on my wedding day! May 15, 2014
Que the Waterworks! Everyone wants to feel and look their best on that special day! Being a Plus Size Bride (22) I however, allowed my Tummy and Arm trouble areas to stear what I thought would be the right dress for me. After trying on 4-5 dresses that fit my origional criteria to conceal my arms and tummy. I liked bits and pieces of each dress, but I hadnt found the one. . .Then my consultant brought out this dress! When I saw myself in the mirror, my first reaction was, dang my body looks amazing! My tummy was nonexistant, and my arms and shoulders didnt mimic that of a football players. The dress made me feel sexy yet elegant. Dare I say it was the first time I embrased my body and felt like a true woman! Then my consultant put on the sash and the veils. . and it was GAME OVER! My mother, maids, mother in law, brother and the consultant started crying. I am over the moon about my dress! Even after having bought the dress and continuing to browse Pinterest and watch the wedding shows on TLC I am still in love with my dress! April 14, 2014

About the Project
This is the result of six months of research and reporting by Tribune Auto Race Writer Ed Hinton, with help from staffers at other Tribune papers, among them Darin Esper of the Los Angeles Times. It sheds new light on the decline of traditional fatalism among race drivers and the need for more research and action to prevent the violent deaths the sport has come to accept. In this two-part series, Hinton explores new head-securing apparatus, softer walls and the wide divergence of opinion on some of these safety issues among the leading racing groups: CART, IRL, Formula One and NASCAR.

City to retire $13 million in Century Towers bonds
The City of Kansas City, Mo., announced the redemption of more than $13 million in bonds originally issued by the Industrial Development Authority in 2001 for the purpose of financing the redevelopment of the old University Hospital Facility, which is now Century Towers. The funds from the redemption have been deposited with the trustee, and the bonds will be retired on July 2, 2012.
"The Century Towers project is an excellent example of how a public/private partnership can work," said City Manager Troy Schulte. "The City provided financing and the developer delivered on the redevelopment, which in turn has spurred revitalization of the Independence Avenue Corridor."
Century Towers is now fully leased with a mixture of City tenants and apartment residents, who are mostly students of the Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences. Throughout the term of the partnership, the City has achieved a break even position for the bonds and has been able to realize an agreed-upon share of profits as the project matured.
"As a developer, Jim Wiss has been an excellent partner to the City," said Director of Finance Randall Landes. "After more than a year of work, he secured new private financing, which provided the funds to fully redeem the City's bonds."
The redeemed bonds were issued pursuant to Ordinance No. 010095.
Media inquiries concerning this issue should be directed to Director of Finance Randall Landes at 816-513-1173.

Woodward News
Woodward, Okla. —
CHEYENNE - An upcoming program at the Washita Battlefield National Historic Site is set to highlight the life of Hunkpapa Lakota Sioux Tribal Chief Sitting Bull.
The presentation will be made by Sitting Bull's great-grandson, Ernie LaPointe.
The free program will be held at 6 p.m. on Nov. 3 in the site's visitor center gallery, which is located about a mile west of Cheyenne on State Highway 47A. No reservations are required to attend the program.
Washita's Chief of Interpretation Frank Torres said LaPointe has spent many years working to determine lineal traces through genealogical and DNA research.
"He will recount family stories and illustrate the famous leader's life," Torres said.
He said in 2009, LaPointe completed a book, "Sitting Bull: His Life and Legacy." The 160-page hardcover is available at the national historical site's bookstore.
"The book reveals the rich oral history of Sitting Bull's family, stories about his childhood, and his reputation as a fierce warrior," Torres said.
He said he didn't think the great-grandson had the opportunity to meet Sitting Bull.
"I think LaPointe goes over that in the book, and that he will touch on it during the program," he said.
Since the book, Torres said LaPointe has been working on a documentary sharing more that he has learned about Sitting Bull's family tree.
"I think LaPointe will say when the documentary is expected to be finished and where it can be seen when he is here for the Nov. 3 event," he said.
Torres said LaPointe's presentation was scheduled to tie in with the upcoming 144th anniversary of Lt. Col. George Armstrong Custer's attack on the Cheyenne village of Peace Chief Black Kettle along the Washita River on Nov. 27, 1868. More than 100 Southern Cheyennes were killed by the 7th U.S. Cavalry as part of the attack.
"LaPointe's program will additionally give insight into genealogical and DNA methods of tracing someone's family lineage, as well as showing all the connections of the Great Plains tribes," Torres said.
He is inviting anyone with an interest in tracking family roots to attend to learn more about the process from LaPointe.
"I'm expecting a big crowd," Torres said.
For more information, contact Torres at (580) 497-2942, Extension 3003, or go to the park's website, www.nps.gov/waba.

'm back! Sorry for the unplanned hiatus, but a variety of crises (my dog learned the hard way that she can't digest gravel), deadlines (sorry, not another packet), and other tasks have kept me busy. We're also at the point where we're focused on refining what you've already seen rather than building new stuff. The latest round of playtest feedback is in our hands, and we're busy making adjustments along with implementing subclasses and some of the other stuff I've talked about.
This week, I want to briefly go over how we're implementing the three pillars of D&D: exploration, interaction, and combat. You've seen the start of the exploration rules in the playtest, and we have a set of interaction rules designed.
The basic model of giving specific actions and a turn sequence has gone over well in the playtest. To simplify the rules and address issues that have come up in play, we're doing a few things.
The final point is a big one to me, since it formalizes exploration in a way that makes it just as much a part of the game as combat. Using a set of basic actions really helps seal these connections, since they give design something to aim at. For instance, a green dragon could have a special ability that causes creatures within 10 miles of its forest lair to have a much higher chance of becoming lost, owing to the hypnotic magic it spreads throughout the woods.
We've taken a lighter touch with interaction, focusing on a framework that DMs can use to manage nonplayer characters. Here are the basics.
Here's an example of how interaction works. The characters try to bribe a magistrate to sneak them into the town jail. The magistrate is normally neutral, but let's say that he's corrupt. His goal is to become rich, and he uses his power to benefit himself. A bribe is the perfect tactic. For this check, the DM shifts the magistrate to friendly. The magistrate will help, and the check serves to determine how much help he offers. A bad check means he makes a copy of a key to the jail and gives it to the party, but only after ensuring that he can plausibly deny any connection to them. On a fantastically great check result, the magistrate volunteers to personally take a hand in sneaking the characters into the jail.
On the other hand, let's say that your notes show that the magistrate hates corruption. The bribe pushes his attitude toward hostile. A great check result can overcome his nature, but chances are that he orders the characters arrested.
The key to the system is to give a DM a structured way to take note of an NPC's traits, allowing the system to speak to them in a consistent way, while also ensuring that Charisma checks don't turn into some sort of mind control.
As with exploration, this approach means we can create character options, monster special abilities, and other material that speaks to it. Our monster entries can give a few sample personalities for interaction encounters alongside combat stats, with the personality material speaking directly to our rules for managing interactions.

News Article
The newest Walking Dead video game trailer Around Every Corner, written by Book of Eli and After Earth scribe Gary Whitta, just landed and it will be available this October on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC/MAC, followed shortly by the finale in Episode Five, No Time Left.
The trailer combines a classic we're-just-trying-to-stay-alive zombie movie storyline with what appears to be a more sinister tale of murder and torture. Here's the synopsis from Telltale:
Once again, we thank you for travelling along with us all the way from Macon, and now to the end of the tracks into the deadly streets of Savannah, GA. You've come this far, and with humanity pushed to the edge of extinction, we ask you one question... Are you truly ready to put everything on the line for Clementine?

A: HUGE head. Way more than 3 fingers. Head is very fluffy and light tan in color. Head retention is very good. Color is actually a brown with red highlights. Like a really dark caramel. Clarity is excellent!
S: Aromas are mostly malt based. I get lots of rich caramel and some chocolate? Lots of rich dark fruits which is surprising. The hops are present, but just barely in a citrusy way. Some nice biscuity malt too.
T: Well this is certainly a malt bomb for an IPA. I get huge caramel and even some of that chocolate. Dark fruits are present. After that I get some hops finally in a citrus way. I get something akin to vanilla as well. Tons of malt depth. There's some spicy notes from the rye.
M: Smooth and medium mouth with medium carbonation.
O: DIPA isn't quite right. Majorly malty with tons of depth. Something like a hoppy American barleywine. Not particularly delicious or what I want in an IPA but it's enjoyable and rich.

A - Brilliantly clear burgundy body with some red hue to it. Pours a moderate sized light khaki head which is long lasting. The beer itself appears to be a touch over-carbonated.
S - Sweet smelling upfront. Get some toffee and caramel and brown sugar. Some pepper notes add a nice spice aroma to the profile.
T - Very malty and properly bitter at the same time. A great balance in the beginning of this beer. Crystal malts and even some baked goods are distinguishable up front. The bitter is nice and clean and helps cut through the initial maltiness. I think the finish is cloyingly sweet though and wish it didn't finish as so.
M - Medium-heavy body, carbonation is fine, only slight alcohol burn.
O - A pretty good beer, reminiscent of the DFH90 minute if you can believe that. Definitely not picking up the rye in this beer which is a shame, but it's still drinkable obviously.

I am not sure why I never tried this before, so today I yanked a single from the Save On store. It's a real malt treat. Very complex malt blended with a bunch of hops. Definitely a true double/imperial. Not enough of the hops protrudes from under all that malt to make this like the AIPA's I prefer, but it is a unique taste worth trying. It isn't all that different from the big Dogfish Head 90 or 120 (not THAT sweet) - robust and malty. I don't think I will seek this out again.
Second tasting 2-1-2014 (I forgot about the first). Well, tastes change. I appreciate this quality brew even more. I like the dark bitter character. The one I am having is almost room temperature - barely cold - and that really makes it taste huge.

On-tap at Prime 16.
A: Clear dark amber body with an inch of dense, creamy tan head. Great retention and lacing. Great-looking beer.
S: Powerful, balanced aroma of grapefruit hops and sweet, spicy rye malt. Simple, strong, and quite good.
T: Sweeter than the aroma, with lots of caramel leading through citrusy hops to a sweet, sticky, moderately boozy finish. The rye doesn't assert itself too much, with straight sweetness being more prominent than rye-specific character, although a bit of nice spice does infuse the aftertaste. It's solid, but not great.
M: Slick, moderately carbonated, and soft. Very nice indeed.
O: This is an enjoyable beer, but I wish the sweetness were less dominant. The hops and rye are the beer's two best attributes, and yet when it counts they are relegated to supporting roles behind thick caramel sweetness. Still, it's quite tasty overall and I think accomplishes what the brewers were going for. Worth a shot.

This is beer. The first two were probably the best beers I've had this year. Subsequent bottles have not been quite as good, due to fading hop presence, same batch, only available at Beer Heaven Philly that I know of. Very much reminds me of Hop Rod Rye. Rarified company.
Pours dark amber. rust, beautiful. Huge rocky head, retention lace. Yea it's a looker. Smells fresh citrus orange and grapefruit, huge pine sap, rye bread, caramel and butterscotch malts. And thats what it tastes like, with a huge bone dry, bitter orange aftertaste that lingers forever. Thick rich butterscotch cake batter smell and taste really stand out. One of the most complex beers. Smoooth and incredibly satisfying, chewy and very sticky.
Why we drink beer. Definite candidate for "if you could drink one beer, and one beer only".

mouthfeel - big body, chewy, heavy carbonation, some alcohol burn on the finish, lingers, slightly sticky, medium dryness
overall - a bit too balanced for my preference but it's a great ipa, very full flavored and has a unique take, huge huge flavor here

A spinal tumor is a cancerous (malignant) or noncancerous (benign) growth that develops within or near your spinal cord or within the bones of your spine. Although back pain is the most common symptom of a spinal tumor, it's also an extremely common problem in people who don't have spinal tumors. In fact, most back pain isn't caused by a tumor.
A spinal tumor or a growth of any kind can affect nerves in the area of the tumor, leading to pain, neurological problems and sometimes paralysis. Whether cancerous or not, a spinal tumor can threaten life and cause permanent disability.
Treatment for a spinal tumor may include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy or other medications.

The Brookfield East boys track and field team has a special goal in mind for this season: defend its triple crown title.
The triple crown for the Spartans is comprised of the three regular-season Great Metro Conference meets: the indoor, the relays and the outdoor.
East got off on the right foot last month by setting a school record for points by posting an impressive 215 points at the indoor, with second place finishing with a distant 77 points.
While the second leg wasn't as dominating, it still did the job as the Spartans moved one step closer to their goal Wednesday afternoon by hosting and winning the GMC Relays (see the full results online at WisSports.net).
"We won the triple crown last year, we've got most of the team back and we were sixth at state (last year), so the kids are motivated," Brookfield East coach Mike Steiner said. "They liked the triple crown last year and they want to be able to say that they did it again but it's hard to do in our league. This is a high-powered league for track and field."
While the talent level in the Great Metro Conference is far from lacking, East showed on Wednesday it still is the richest of the rich by posting 124 points. Marquette finished second with 79, while Sussex Hamilton came in just behind the Hilltoppers with 78.
"We have a lot of depth and that's why we are who we are," Steiner said. "We have a lot of really talented kids.
"The tradition of our program right now, the kids don't want to let each other down and they don't want to let their coaches down. There's no other way to do it right now and it makes it fun because you know they're going to bring it when they step on the track."
That was mighty evident on Wednesday as the Spartans took eight first-place finishes across 15 events. East finished in the top three in five of the other seven events.
The highlight of the day for East came in an event it wasn't even supposed to win.
In the 4x100 meter relay, an event Hamilton previously held the fastest time for in the state this year, the Spartans surprised even their coach by coming in just ahead of the Chargers in a time of 43.02. Hamilton finished in 43.50, which was still faster than their previous best this year.
Hamilton had a successful day overall and got a bit of revenge from its 4x100 loss in the 4x200 meter relay by posting a conference record time of 1:28.23.
"It was a great day for Hamilton, highlighted by the 4x200," Charger coach Eric Murray said. "I know the boys were a little shaken up on the 4x100 so they wanted to get back out there.
"I was very happy overall."
The Chargers finished in the top three of all of the shorter relays, as they took third in the 4x400 with a time of 3:26.05, finishing just behind Brookfield East (3:25.46) and Marquette (3:25.91).
Other area schools also had success on the day as Brookfield Central finished fifth on the day, highlighted by its pole vault performance. Elliott Yanasak and Chris Dubois tied for fourth place with height of 11 feet, six inches. The Lancers also finished second overall in the 800-sprint medley and took third in the distance medley and 4x100 relay.
Wauwatosa East won the 4x1,600 relay and Max Kilpin of East tied Brookfield East's Darius Barnes for the top individual high jump mark at 6 feet, 6 inches.
Menomonee Falls was eighth with 28 points.

Vocal manipulation with Ableton Simplers. from wiretotheear on Vimeo.
There are thousands of ways to mangle audio in weird and wild sound. Here's a screencast of a trick I sometimes put to work. Here is the end result (4 samples are loaded in this player):
Here is the original sample I used:
The technique uses multiple Ableton Simplers in a Device Group. If your an Ableton wizard you will know this stuff but if your not a regular user of Simpler and Macros you will learn something.

Dana Calvo is protective of her native state.
Even though she lives in L.A. now, and hasn't made the Garden State her home for a number of years, she reserves a deep pride for New Jersey.
"People have these stupid, old, outdated, tired jokes about New Jersey," said Calvo. "That wasn't my experience at all."
Hence the reason Calvo drew from her experiences growing up in the Garden State while writing Made in Jersey, a new CBS series about a Jersey girl who "busts out" of her working blue-collar neighborhood and becomes a big-time New York City attorney.
Calvo, a Moorestown Friends School alum, has spent the last several years in television, bouncing between multiple shows and wearing many hats (story editor, producer, writer). But it wasn't a career she sought out, but rather one that found her.
She grew up wanting to be a writer, earning a degree in English Literature from Swarthmore. But when Calvo graduated from college, she was confronted with a question many writers face: "'You've had this sort of idyllic, wholesome life—what are you going to write about?'"
So she detoured into journalism and spent years writing other people's stories at publications across the country—the New York Times (NYT), the Los Angeles Times, the Associated Press—until one day she heard from a NYT colleague who told her about a movie (Charlie Wilson's War) being adapted by celebrated screenwriter Aaron Sorkin (of The Social Network and The West Wing fame).
Sorkin was looking for a writer with a deep knowledge of D.C. politics, which Calvo had acquired during her years as a journalist. Calvo helped craft the screenplay (thought it was uncredited), describing it as a truly intellectually rewarding experience.
"It was very fun, but it was much more cerebral than I expected," she said. "I wasn't trying to switch careers. I just thought it would be a good project."
Calvo's experience working on Charlie Wilson's War opened other doors. She became friends with Sorkin—who attended Calvo's wedding—and when he began working on Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, he invited her back to L.A. to help.
From there she became involved with NBC's Journeyman, then Franklin & Bash on TNT, and now, with Made in Jersey, she's taking the helm of her own show.
"That's always the goal for every writer," she said. "You want to create your own (story), not mimic someone else's."
The seed for Made in Jersey was first planted when Calvo was watching the Oscar-nominated film The Fighter. She recalled the scene in which main character Micky Ward's (played by Mark Wahlberg) rough-around-the-edges sisters are sitting around the living room arguing and thought, "What if one of those girls had the audacity to go to law school or medical school and busted out of that neighborhood?"
As she worked on the script, she drew inspiration from other areas, until she ended up with a main character—Deb Garretti Keenan—that's "a blend of those girls, Melanie Griffith from Working Girl, and a little bit of me," said Calvo, who visits her folks, who still live in Moorestown, as often as she can.
It's been a year-and-a-half-long process to develop the show, which is set to premiere at 9 p.m. Friday (Sept. 28). Just a little more than 24 hours before the premiere, Calvo said the idea of having her own show was "still a little surreal."
"I'm excited, nervous, can't really pay attention for too long, very jittery," she said. "I feel like this is a dream I'm going to wake up from soon … I feel so lucky."
Made in Jersey premieres at 9 p.m. Friday, Sept. 28, on CBS.

Post a reply to the thread: Hioki Thought He Inflicted More Damage Than Clay Guida, but Not Yet Asking for Rematc

Dude Hioki is the bomb dot com. The most centered fighter I've heard talk yet.
UFC ON FOX 6 EXCLUSIVE: Hatsu Hioki Responds to Fan Criticism of Clay Guida | MMAWeekly.com
I hear a lot of people criticizing Guidas strategy to lie on top; however, it was ultimately my lack of skills to get back on (to my) feet, stop these takedowns and submit an opponent who was staying tight while being on top to put myself on the losing end. I say this again: Guida won the fight fair and square. He was better than me at that night.
I have respected him before and I respect him more now.
I spent a lot of time to develop takedown defense, and I think my takedown defense skill got better than before, but just fell short on Guida. Thats the truth, but I can say that my takedown defense is a lot better than before because we were into prepping for him takedowns. If it werent for this fight prep, my takedown defense would have been unchanged and undeveloped, so I would like to (say) thank you (to) him for being a great wrestler.
All that said, I would like to thank all the support from fans who have watched the fight and Guida-san for the competitive match.
Thank you very much,
Hatsu Hioki
How does that question go...O YEAH
Don't leave it in the hands of the judges.
But right now I would not leave a pile of shit in the judges hands.
Really we need to get this judge shit fixed. they seem to be getting worse.
Hioki got beat by the hair, plain and simple.

The rounds shouldn't have been considered that close. Hioki outlanded Guida by nearly 2 times the strikes. On the ground, Hioki was the one controlling Guida most of the time and actually locked on submissions. One takedown per round shouldn't negate both the standup and the groundwork.

After being in a debate over Clay in a nother post with Dr. MMA now see why to what he wrote. I have the fight taped and is one of Clays I havent watched yet. I do agree with being on top doesn't always mean control. Some fighters can do more damage from the bottom, and that should mean control too.
Hioki definitely did more than enough to win the fight. It's too bad that the judges didn't see it that way. Guida looked like he was moving on top, but he was really not doing anything. He was both outstruck and outgrappled, and yet won the fight because he took it to the ground once in each round.
Why is Gabriel Sabaitis even judging? Does he even judge more than one event a year? Is that sufficient to be able to judge?
I love how it says Clay won by Lay and Pray on his wikipedia record.
I thought that this fight displayed one of the major problems with MMA judging. Hioki clearly did more damage and should have won that fight. I understand "octagon control" and I'm all for it, but the judges need to understand that "octagon control" and being on top aren't necessarily the same thing. Yes Guida was on top, but the entire time on top he was on the defensive. Hioki landed some nice shots from the bottom as well as threw up numerous submission attempts. Guida was focusing so hard on not being subbed, that he inflicted little to no damage from Hioki's guard. Not to mention how sharp Hioki looked on his feet. I'm not exactly sure how to fix this problem, but it needs to be fixed. The judge who gave Guida all three rounds shouldn't ever judge another MMA fight again.

A yellow tag is placed at the base of the dorsal fin. This helps identify the shark in the event it is recaptured. They also do satellite tagging but that is often reserved for larger and more threatened sharks like the Great Hammerhead.
"Historically in order to see what sharks eat you cut them open and see what's in their stomach," Dr. Hammerschlag told the group.
These days they can do that by taking a tiny clipping from the trailing edge of the shark's dorsal fin, "there are no nerves in their fins so it doesn't hurt" said Dr. Hammerschlag.
From the fin clipping they can run a chemical composition to see what the shark ate over a long period of time. They also take a blood sample from the shark which helps them identify what it ate over a short period and will let them know if the female Black Nose shark they captured is pregnant.
Finally the circle hook is removed and the shark is released back into the water.
On this shark tagging trip we would tag two black nose sharks and one feisty nurse shark. RJD averages about 300 sharks a year.
"We are collecting real data and this data is going to be published in scientific journals," said Dr. Hammerschlag, "my hope is that wildlife managers will use the data to make informed policy decisions and effective conservation strategies."
"Oceans are changing," Gallagher explained, "everyday people look at the surface of the ocean and it looks the same but the honest truth is beneath the waves things are changing drastically, populations of sharks are declining rapidly, even in our waters here and so that's one of the questions we are trying to answer and one of the points we are trying to drive home. We need to be good stewards of the ocean and it starts now. This is their world, we're just visiting."
RJD also runs an "adopt-a-shark" program. For $2,500 you buy a satellite tag and you can come on the research boat, tag and name the shark yourself and then follow him or her in real time on the internet.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Nov. 3, 2010
Pertussis and other childhood vaccinations are vital
Dr. Rex Archer, director of the City of Kansas City, Mo., Health Department, urges residents to take precautions against pertussis, also known as whooping cough. Of the City's 26 cases reported so far in 2010, 24 have been in children 14-years-old and younger. Many of these were in families where the children were not fully vaccinated. In California, a pertussis outbreak has resulted in the deaths of 10 infants so far this year.
"Nine of these infants were too young to have completed the full series of pertussis vaccinations," said Archer. ""It is so important for all of us to be vaccinated to protect the weakest among us."
Pertussis is a highly contagious respiratory disease most commonly affecting infants and young children. Initially, the symptoms of pertussis resemble the common cold, but the coughing soon intensifies significantly, causing the affected to gasp for breath, making a "whoop" sound. These symptoms can last for months, even after medical treatment.
"Early childhood immunizations protect against a wide range of diseases and save lives," said Archer. "Outbreaks like the one currently in California and of measles and mumps locally in recent years illustrate why it is so important to make sure your child is up-to-date on immunizations."
The Health Department and most pediatricians and family doctors offer a series of vaccinations known as DTap and Tdap. Both vaccines protect against pertussis, as well as diphtheria and tetanus.
For maximum protection, infants should receive a DTaP vaccine at two, four and six months of age, sometime between 15 and 18 months, and again before entering school between four and six years of age. Because immunity may weaken, they will need a Tdap booster between 11 and 12 years of age, and then again 10 years later.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly half of affected toddlers and infants require hospitalization due to medical complications. In those who have been vaccinated, complications are usually far less severe.
For more information on pertussis or other childhood immunizations, visit the Health Department website, www.kcmo.org/health, or the CDC website, www.cdc.gov/pertussis.
Media inquiries about this topic should be directed to Jeff Hershberger, public information officer for the Health Department, 816-840-2548 (pager). Follow the Health Department on Facebook and Twitter, www.facebook.com/kcmohealthdept and www.twitter.com/kcmohealthdept.

Sometimes, You Have to Do It Yourself
François, make sure that hub is plugged in. Merci, mon ami. Now watch as I connect to the terminal in the wine cellar's east wing. You see, I have full access from up here. I can control the desktop, start applications, install software and so on. In fact, François, if you were down there now, we could both use the desktop. What do you mean, "But what is it good for?"
Sometimes, François, there is no control like remote control. If you could share your Linux desktop with another user or take control of another user's desktop as needed, you could save a great deal of time controlling the session or simply observing what is happening. For instance, let's pretend a certain waiter recently installed his new Linux system and occasionally needs a little guidance. Mais non, François, it is purely a hypothetical question. Your expertise with the desktop is well known. Please do not fret.
Ah, mes amis! Welcome to Chez Marcel, home of tantalizing Linux fare, great service and fine wine. Please sit and make yourselves comfortable. François, why don't you run down to the cellar? Something Italian today, I think. Bring back the 1997 Brunello di Montalcino for our guests.
I was explaining to François that there are times when nothing works better than taking control of a remote desktop in order to do what needs to be done. Perhaps the best incentive is the office environment. Using desktop sharing, a system administrator could deal with individual desktop issues without leaving the comfort (or convenience) of the office. Do you need to show a user how to add an icon to the desktop? Connect to their desktops and have them watch. Have you received a call asking for help interpreting an error message? Connect to the system and ask the user to recreate the scenario while you watch. The possibilities are endless.
An excellent cross-platform remote-control package is VNC from AT&T Laboratories in Cambridge, England. The problem with VNC is it doesn't provide any means of controlling the main X display ($DISPLAY:0), so taking control of a user's desktop to fix a problem or to show them how to do something is out of the question.
Enter KDE Desktop Sharing from creator Tim Jansen. The package is scheduled to be part of the standard network offerings in KDE 3.1, which may be out as we speak. Those running KDE 3.0 also can take advantage of this great package by visiting Tim's site, www.tjansen.de/krfb, and downloading the latest source.
Building the package is the standard extract and build five-step with a twist. The twist is the package is stored as a bzip2 file rather than as a straight gzip file.
tar -xjvf desktopsharing-0.7.tar.bz2 cd desktopsharing-0.7 ./configure --prefix= make su -c "make install"
The reason I suggest adding the prefix shown above is KDE Desktop Sharing becomes a KDE control center module, so letting your KDE implementation know where the software lives is a good idea. For instance, I've installed this on Red Hat, Mandrake and SuSE systems. Red Hat and Mandrake's KDE directories are subdirectories of /usr, while SuSE's are in /opt/kde3.
Before we move on to using the product, let me clear up one other potential area of confusion. Different distributions sometimes opt for nonstandard KDE menus, meaning that things aren't where this little installer expects to find them. A case in point is the Mandrake 9.0 desktop. Despite the installation having gone smoothly, the Desktop Sharing configuration option did not appear in the Control Center menu. The fix is an easy one, once you know about it. Here is what you do: from the desktopsharing distribution directory, change to the krfb/kcm_krfb directory and manually install the desktop entry for the KDE Control Center (the following is one single command line):
/usr/bin/install -c -p -m 644 kcmkrfb.desktop /usr/share/applnk-mdk/Configuration/KDE/Network/
Once again, I stress that when this feature becomes part of the actual KDE distribution (release 3.1), installation won't be a problem at all. Now, when you have finished compiling, installing and tweaking menus, make sure to log out from your KDE desktop before you continue. While the desktop reboots, why not take a moment to appreciate the bouquet from this most excellent wine, non?
To configure your client PC for remote access, start by bringing up the KDE Control Center from your application starter menus (the big K in the lower left-hand corner). You also can start the control center by typing kcontrol & at a shell prompt. When kcontrol starts, click on the Network icon in the left-hand sidebar menu and select Desktop Sharing, as shown in Figure 1. As you can see, two tabbed windows appear on the right-hand side. One is labeled Access and the other is Network.
The Network tab takes the least amount of explanation, so I will cover it first. Click the tab, and you'll have the opportunity to override the default to Assign port automatically. KDE Desktop Sharing's default port is 5900, but unchecking this box here makes it possible to assign a specific port number.
On to the Access tab. Invitations are the means by which access is granted to the desktop, but it also is possible to allow uninvited connections as well. I suspect, mes amis, that I do not have to explain the security implications of this course of action. For this reason, allow me to tell you how to create and manage invitations.
For starters, click the button that says Create & Manage Invitations. The window that pops up offers you two important choices. You can create either a New Personal Invitation or a New E-mail Invitation. Let's start with a personal invitation.
For security reasons, the invitation itself lasts for only an hour. If you don't do anything else, Desktop Sharing automagically comes up with a password and an expiration time for the session. The host address necessary for the connection also is displayed. Overriding either the password or the expiration time is not allowed. Make sure you pass on the information as it is shown to the person who will be connecting. When you have passed on the information (or written it down), click Close.
The other option is an e-mail invitation. The only catch here is you are sending the means to access your system via e-mail during that one hour period. If you choose this option, you'll receive a warning about plain-text e-mail over the Internet and the wisdom of encrypting said e-mail. Click Continue to get past the warning and a KMail message appears, ready for you to click Send. If no one answers the invitation, it disappears within an hour. Incidentally, you also can manage invitations with the following command:
krfb &
Before we move on, click Close to get past all those invitations, and we'll have another look at the second means of providing access, uninvited connections. If sending an e-mail invitation presents interesting security concerns, then a wide-open, permanent invitation should ring additional bells. That said, in an office environment it also may be the sanest method of giving yourself access. If you check on Allow uninvited connections, you still have to assign a password for connecting. Furthermore, you have the opportunity to Confirm uninvited connections before accepting. You also can decide to give those uninvited connections the ability to control the desktop.
To connect to the desktop, you can use any VNC client; but the slicker way is to install KDE Desktop Sharing on the controlling desktop also. You'll find the interface friendly and appealing. To start the client, either select it from the Internet menu under the big K or call the program directly from the command line:
krdc &
After creating an open invitation with a confirm option, a remote client trying to connect generates a warning message asking whether you want to allow that connection (Figure 3).
After accepting the request, the remote user still has to enter the password, at which point you'll see a nice blue eye staring at you from the system tray.
One of the great things about this particular program is you can resize or scale the virtual desktop to almost any size. Size your window, then click on the magnifying glass icon. If you would like a particularly psychedelic experience, set up an invitation on your own machine and try connecting to it. You'll receive an endless cascade of desktops, an effect much like standing between two parallel mirrors facing each other (Figure 4).
Ah, it is very exciting to consider how much closer Linux can bring us, non? It is true even when dealing with non-Linux systems. Allow me to demonstrate.
Another remote-control package worth your consideration is a little something Matt Chapman has cooked up called rdesktop. Here's the idea. From time to time, you may have to work on a box running Windows 2000. If that box requires you to connect using Win2K's Terminal Server, you no longer need to shut down your Linux system to do your work.
Simply put, rdesktop is a GPLed Windows (NT/2000) Terminal Server client, which means it uses RDP (remote desktop protocol). If you'd like to use rdesktop and keep running a Linux desktop in the process, pick up your copy of the source at www.rdesktop.org. Build it using the classic extract and build five-step:
tar -xzvf rdesktop-1.1.0.tar.gz cd rdesktop-1.1.0 ./configure make su -c "make install"
The whole process should take no more than a few seconds.
When the installation is complete, you can start the program like this:
rdesktop -u Administrator -p PaSsWoRd 192.168.22.212
The -u parameter specifies a user account on the Windows server, while the -p option specifies the password. Have a look at Figure 5 for a screenshot of my KDE 3.1 desktop running rdesktop to a remote Windows 2000 server.
As you can see, mes amis, with a network connection and your Linux system, you are never far away. It is just like being there.
Mon Dieu, has the time passed so quickly. As I cannot connect to your systems and pour you a glass of wine, I must attend to it here before François and I close the restaurant for the night. François, would you be so kind as to refill our guests' glasses a final time? Until next time, mes amis, let us all drink to one another's health. A votre santé! Bon appétit!

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Building giant sells its Burnley HQ in £9m deal
11:00pm Tuesday 4th February 2014 in News
EAST Lancashire construction giant Barnfield has sold its industrial warehouse in Burnley for £9.1 million.
The Nelson based firm has disposed of the 250,000 sq ft headquarters and distribution centre on Orient Business Park to La Salle Investment Management.
Barnfield originally built the 145,000 sq ft industrial estate in the 1990s on land it owned.
Barnfield re-purchased the land along with the former Vita Achter building around four years ago and this was added to their investment portfolio.
After agreeing a lease to The Original Factory Shop, soon after the purchase of the assets, Barnfield added a 105,000 sq ft extension to the headquarters to aid their rapid expansion plans.
The Original Factory Shop has agreed to lease the building until 2026 and the annual rent figure is £906,954.
Tim Webber, managing director of Barnfield, said: "The sale of this healthy asset means we can focus on developing other sites in the North West.
"We are currently looking at a variety of schemes in the North West both alone and with joint venture partners."
Gareth Hutchinson, of The Original Factory Shop said: "Barnfield has been very easy to work with as landlords and their assistance was invaluable when completing the extension.
La Salle Investment Management have more than £28.8 billion worth of assets under management.
Other neighbouring companies in the area include Warburtons, Velocity Composites Limited, AMS Neve Limited and VEKA Plc.
The sale was handled by James Horsley of Yorkshire Property and Mark Bruce Lockhart of Phillips Lockhart.

A refreshing new way to look at all-in-one desktops, the Lenovo B750's Blu-ray-friendly, extra-wide display is great for movies (if you add some extra software), and games greatly benefit from a wider field of view. It's different, and fun to use, but it cries out for a touch screen.
