Some venues skirt sprinkler laws with closets
Laconia Fire Chief Kenneth Erickson said a 2004 state law, passed after the deadly Rhode Island nightclub fire in 2003 claimed 100 lives, wasn't tough enough and allowed "quite a few" businesses to alter their space to avoid sprinklers by shrinking their square footage used to calculate occupancy.
Erickson said the state law also gives fire chiefs "way too much authority" on which establishments should have sprinkler systems.
"You can have a VFW with no sprinklers that occasionally has a wedding and that's legitimate" with a band, he said. "They're not required to have sprinklers, but the guy down the street who does it basically seven days a week" needs to have sprinklers.
"There was no logic to it; if you're going to do it, do it across the board," Erickson said. 'We're gambling on when the fire's going to be."
A recent nightclub fire in Brazil that killed more than 230 put the spotlight back on clubs and fire safety.
Peter Lennon, a senior inspector with the Manchester Fire Department, said around 100 restaurants, bars and clubs that provide live entertainment operate in buildings with sprinklers.
"You can construct your way out of it," Lennon said. "We are aware of instances where that happened in the city, but it's within the code."
Neither department wanted to name specific establishments.
State Deputy Fire Marshal John Raymond said legislators adopted National Fire Protection Agency codes. He said fire chiefs are allowed to evaluate establishments on an individual basis.
"What they're looking for in these clubs is it has to have low-level lighting, loud music and the main thing is not dining; it's a nightclub setting," Raymond said. "It gives latitude to a fire chief to make a determination if it fits into those things."
Raymond said the 2004 changes improved club safety 100 percent because "sprinklers save lives."
In either the Brazil or Rhode Island fires, one or two sprinkler heads might have suppressed the fire and saved lives, Raymond said.
"You wouldn't have head the heavy smoke conditions" that proved so lethal to patrons, he said.
Raymond said he doesn't know whether the Brazil fire will lead to any code changes.
Leonard said the 2004 change in New Hampshire law led "a handful" of Manchester clubs offering music "to close rather than meet the sprinkler requirement."
Laconia's chief said he saw some business owners alter their practices.
"We've got a couple places that were required to put sprinklers in, and they opted not to have live bands," Erickson said.
Manchester inspectors check all restaurants, clubs and bars at least twice a year. They visit clubs during busy nights to check to see whether they exceed their maximum occupancy and to ensure building doors operate outward to allow patrons to escape in a fire, Lennon said.
Costs for sprinkler systems vary widely, based on the building size and whether it is new construction or installed in an existing building, officials said.
Erickson said sprinklers retrofitted with a fire alarm system in his three-story fire station costs less than $70,000.
Raymond said people often don't know how a sprinkler system works.
"Sprinkler heads, they don't all go off," Raymond said. "They go off one by one as they're needed" based on heat in a particular area.
Erickson wants the law more uniform.
"They put the burden on the fire chief and in some towns, you could have a town with an all-volunteer fire department and he doesn't enforce the law," Erickson said.

A summer evening
The senile sun still
burned us with the foul intent
Of its mid day rage
But, lacking in bite, gave in
Quickly to the taunts of breeze.
It tottered about
In the beach, ran its weak hands
Over wheat fields and
Rested awhile atop the
Banyan's crown and went to sleep.

John Doerr is scared. John Doerr is angry. John Doerr isn't sure we're going to make it. And when John Doerr talks, everybody should listen.
It should be enough that he saw the buy fioricet whole internet thing coming from almost a decade away and best price for viagra made himself a billionaire by investing in the likes of Amazon and Google when they only had a few employees. But he's also become one of the world's leading experts on clean technology. Doerr is well respected, and known for his prescience. So now that I know that he's scared...I'm pretty scared too.
In this passionate talk from the TED conference, Doerr talks about the future of clean tech. The billions waiting to be made, and the technologies that are going to change the world. But he also talks about his 15 year old daughter, and her opinion of the situation: "Dad, your generation created this problem, you'd better fix it."
And unlike most dads, who would probably just get angry. John Doerr, being "the most influential venture capitalist of his generation," decided to use his influence.
The result is that Doerr is helping to spur a multi-billion dollar push behind clean technology. In the TED talk he speaks about bug-based bio fuels, the tremendous efficiency gains from Wal-Mart, and the importance of global warming legislation.
In the end though, he's still not sure we're going to make it. It's amazing to watch him on that stage, a man known mostly for his extreme success in the cut-throat world of cheap levitra tablets venture capital, not able to it's great! buy xanax online hold back his fear and calling to the levitra fast delivery world's most influential people to go green with him. And not just because it'll be the best thing for next quarters numbers. But because the world is natural levitra pills in trouble, and it needs serious help from serious people.

No injuries reported from Brattleboro-area crashesNovember 23,2012No injuries in Brattleboro crashes
Troopers from the Brattleboro barracks of the Vermont State Police investigated a few crashes on Thursday but reported no serious injuries.
Senior Trooper Genevra Cushman said a crash on Route 9 near the intersection with MacArthur Road in Marlboro around 10:15 a.m. sent a man to the hospital.
Police said Patrick Perrotti, 68, of Wilmington, was traveling west on Route 9 when he lost control of his 1993 Toyota truck on black ice. Perrottis truck collided with the drivers side of a 2007 Chevrolet HHR, driven by Thomas Albercio, 51, of Brattleboro, who was also traveling west on Route 9.
The Toyota truck then entered the oncoming lane where it collided with a 2012 Toyota Sienna, driven by Jeffrey Salmon, 45, of Rexford, N.Y., who was traveling east on Route 9.
The truck and the Sienna were towed from the scene but the HHR was able to be driven away.
Perrotti was taken to Brattleboro Memorial Hospital to be treated for a laceration of the ear, Cushman said.
The Marlboro Fire Department assisted at the scene.
In Brattleboro, a 3-year-old child was in a car with his parents when it crashed but none of the family members were injured. Trooper James Matthews said the crash took place around 2 p.m. on Exit 3 of Interstate 91.
According to Matthews, Christopher Bellemare, 34, of Naugatuck, Conn., lost control of the 2002 Ford Excursion he was driving while on the northbound off-ramp of the highway, resulting in a roll over crash.
Bellemare, his wife, Melissa and their 3-year-old son were not injured as they were all wearing seat belts, police said, but Bellemare was issued tickets for failure to maintain his vehicle in the lane of travel and driving with defective equipment.

TREASURE COAST -- "We want to make this cancer's last century," said Tracy Henks of The American Cancer Society who helped organize this year's Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk.
This year's 5k walk marked ACS's 100th anniversary and celebrated the end of the first century of their fight to end cancer. Ms. Henks is ready to finish that fight.
"We want to find a cure. We want to save more lives," Ms. Henks said. "We're working diligently to put ourselves out of business.
That's what last Saturday's event was all about: raising money to fund the fight and bring the community together in a common goal.
So Memorial Park in Stuart became a sea of pink with pink boas and hats, teams in matching pink shirts declaring "Save the ta-tas," even bedazzled pink bras.
More than 1,000 people registered to walk and $135,000 was raised by individuals and teams. The funds will help ACS provide free recourses and support for women with breast cancer and fund research to treat and cure the disease that affects 1 in 8 women.
The event also honored breast cancer survivors, educated people about early detection and how to reduce their cancer risk, and brought the community together in a unified goal.
Mothers and daughters walked together, friends, those who had lost loved ones and those who just finished their last round of treatment, all clad in pink and in a celebratory mood. Even Stuart Mayor Eula Clarke joined in the fun, leading Zumba from the stage before the walk began.
"It's fun to get together with everyone in the community for a good cause," said Tracie Warren of Stuart, who organized a team for Ocean Aveda Salon and was walking with her daughter.
"I think events like these are amazing," said cancer survivor Debra Policino of Port St. Lucie. She joined ACS in their search for a cure in hopes that her children and grandchildren won't have to worry about the disease.
"Each step we're taking today is a step toward finding a cure," Ms. Henks said. "We're making strides against breast cancer, there's no doubt about it."

A Texas World War II veteran attempting to visit the graves of his fellow soldiers who participated in the D-Day invasion found the gates locked for the government shutdown, according to Rep. Steve Stockman, R-Texas, even though the commission responsible for the cemeteries has $85 million on hand.
"The government has shut down 17 times," Stockman tweeted. "Obama is the first president to ever issue an order to lock veterans out of military cemeteries."
Donny Ferguson, a spokesman for the congressman, said they found out that the gates were locked when a constituent — a U.S. Army paratrooper who landed in Normandy on D-Day — notified them that he had been unable to enter the cemetery.
The American Battle Monuments Commission attributed the closure to the government shutdown. "Due to a lack of funding for ABMC operations (U.S. Government shutdown), ABMC cemeteries and memorials are temporarily closed," the commission said.
"We are unable to respond to your inquiries or provide the services and products described in the "Services Available" section of this Web site. We regret any inconvenience these temporary actions may cause. ABMC will resume normal operations when a new funding measure is passed by the U.S. Congress and signed by the President of the United States."
Ferguson told the Washington Examiner that the commission has $85 million left over from fiscal year 2012.

"Exactly as expected. Especially love the way this company treats it's customers - there is an online chat available for any questions/concerns. You can also expect a handwritten thank you note in the mail! Seriously - what company goes out of their way like that anymore? Keep up the great work."
"I customized this program with a custom color to match my wedding colors and chose an edge trim to make it really unique. They turned out perfect!"
"Loved these - great quality (especially the card stock) and design. Only complaint was a tiny tiny ink spotch on some of the last few cards in our pack, but we had ordered plenty of extras and I doubt our guests would have noticed."
"We are using several items from this design collection and I am extremely pleased with every piece I've received thus far! The quality of the paper and the printing is excellent, and the design itself is very elegant. We changed the font on the front for our names to something more blocked and standard because my fiancé has an 'III' at the end of his name and the font looked great! Highly recommended!"
"I ordered these, as well as the matching invitations and name cards. I love the design! I have gotten tons of compliments on my invitation. The simplicity of them is what makes them classy and stand out. I loved that there were no bows, ruffles, glitter, feathers ect. that everyone uses nowadays. These programs will compliment my outdoor fall ceremony perfectly. Good paper quality too. Definitely recommend!"

Beautiful Foil + Letterpress Joie De Vivre
Our friends over at Lion in the Sun sent us this wonderful customization of our Joie de Vivre (by Kamal) wedding invitations. The gold matte foil, coupled with our prussian blue letterpress ink, really helps this design to shine with excellence! The beautiful invitation envelope liner only adds to the beauty.
letterpress ink: prussian blue | foil ink: gold matte | font: streamline | paper: 2-ply white | invite size: f8 | liner: antique geometrics in prussian blue | edge painting: cardinal | customization #: 14369 |
Joie de Vivre in Foil and Letterpress
Kamal's Joie De Vivre design was an instant trendsetter as soon as it was released in 2011, and it's still one of our most popular designs. This one, though, is just such a gorgeous example that we had to share. The invite includes two foil colors and one letterpress ink – for a look that complements the design beautifully and looks incredibly rich. We don't show pricing on our site for invites with more than two colors, so if you're looking for something like this for your own invites please contact us for a custom quote.

The DOH urges the public to take precaution in making drinking water safe amid possible contamination after the continuous heavy rainfall and flooding in Metro Manila and nearby provinces.
According to Secretary of Health Enrique Ona, "Water must be purified to ensure that it is clean and fit for human consumption. Water that is not safe to drink can make you sick from a few hours or up to several weeks after taking it."
The following are guidelines from the DOH to purify water:

Hi Tom,
For some people their childhood memories of you will be as The Doctor. However for me I first saw you as a child in The Chronicles of Narnia: The Silver Chair as Puddleglum. I'd be really interested in any memories you have of that production or of the character.
Thank you for taking the time to answer my question.
I hope you have a Happy Christmas!

Meg Smith: Capturing the Spirit of the Moment:
Keeping it Simple
Smith shoots only film, with no plans to go digital. She started out photographing entirely in black-and-white, but now she also works in color, depending on her clients' needs. Her black-and-white film preferences are Kodak Tri-X 400 and TMZ 3200 (for low-light situations). In color, she uses Fuji NPH 400 (and sometimes ISO 800 or 1600 in low light). "I don't push or pull film—I like to keep it simple," she points out. Generally, she says that she feels "If something is gorgeous in color, I'll shoot color. If it's more about the people, I'll shoot black-and-white." Smith says that at weddings, she often shoots color to begin with, and then more black-and-white as the evening goes on. She says she typically shoots about 40 rolls of film at each wedding—220 and 35mm, color and black-and-white.
She doesn't use filters (she points out that wedding photographers sometimes
use diffusers or star filters). "The only 'gimmicky' thing
I do is to use a lot of shallow depth of field," Smith says. In addition
to this effect, shooting at f/1.4 or f/2 enables her to shoot without flash.
She sometimes does time exposures and uses a tripod, especially at night.
The Business of Wedding Photography
She says she photographs about 25 weddings a year, a number that's been
reduced from 65 weddings in the year 2000. Back then, as she puts it, "I
had no life!" At least with 25, she says, she feels that her work is much
more manageable. "I'm doing less, but much better quality."
She says that a lot of people think that wedding photographers only work on
weekends, but it certainly isn't the case. Smith points out that there's
much "post-production work," not the least of which is the couple's
wedding album.

Matthew Birt says:
Andrea Dovizioso and Nicky Hayden tested Ducati's 'lab' bike in Jerez yesterday (Monday) and both reported only minimal gains over the factory Desmosedici GP13 they are currently racing in MotoGP.
The development machine features a revised aluminium chassis and has been ridden extensively by Michele Pirro in private testing.
And the Italian raced the experimental bike to a respectable 11th place as...

Ducati run 1200cc vs 1000. They ran 1000 when everyone ran 750..and you whine about air restrictors? Let them all run 1200's then.
I doubt any of the current riders will get anywhere near as competitive as washed up ol Val was last year..and he made your Honda riders look silly on a slower bike just last month?
The delusion runs deeper than I thought. Talking about PP in the present won't bring him back. They're far better off without his bottom lip & bruised ego cluttering up the place anyway.
Nah..sorry..they're history as a force in top level bike racing. Nobody to blame but themselves.

Another mathematical subject you score a big FAIL on. Twins have only a 20% capacity advantage now, as opposed to the 33% capacity and 15% weight advantage over the fours in Foggy's day. No wonder he won so often.
Do you understand the reasons behind such capacity advanatage. Piston speed, rpm, burn efficiencies? I'm disappointed to read such slander from a clanky old CX twin runner like you. WSBK would be a much poorer series without Ducati twins and the Aprilia RSV's.

'Nah..sorry..they're history as a force in top level bike racing. Nobody to blame but themselves.'
The immortal wise words of Wosi.
Sure Ducati are a small enterprise compared to the Hondas and Yamahas of this world, and they are currently struggling with their racing (no doubt!). But to stay they are 'history' as a force in top level racing is premature, no doubt there either, struggling yes, but history -not (yet!?)
I guess time will tell.
For change -well said in your post immediately below
You appear to be shooting your own argument down in flames?
Ducati have ALWAYS had a capacity advantage because they can't compete on a level playing field.
An engine is a pump. A bigger pump will shift more fuel. They don't HAVE to run a twin with heavier pistons and longer throw cranks.
When Honda got pissed with them cheating and built a twin, they got their arses kicked.
Without rules to suit them, in both GP with tyres and WSB with capacity..they struggle.
Style over substance as Noddy says. Hardly surprising they appeal to silly old softees like your good self?
If they want to run unrestricted intakes and 1200..fine, just let everyone else do the same. What's your problem with that idea then Big Brain?
Old wosi loves a twin, fkin brilliant for the road, but get's a bit peeved at some of these higher than mighty Ducatisti who reckon shit ain't fair because their beloved marque can't compete on the race track.
Well make a bloody bike that can then and STFU about blinkered brand identity being so essential. It's nobodies problem but their own.
They were as happy as a pig in shit when WSB resembled a Ducati Cup.
I agree with you about Foggy..didn't do as well on the V4 Honda did he?
Saying this..he did race the roads and had pretty large bollocks. You checked yours lately, ya mincer?
Spouting off again without having a clue what you're on about. Time to go and read a rule book me thinks. The four cylinder machines have no air intake restrictors.
If the Panigale's continue to perform as poorly as they have to date the FIM will slowly (only reviewed after three events against performance averages of the best twins and the best fours) allow them the decrease the diameter of the restriction in 2mm increments, and let the damn things breath - eventually.

A pump it isn't - it works on a vacuum basis - it sucks like you
Now, a little earlier you made another gaff by claiming the Ducati is barely any faster than a CRT.
On what basis? Because a CRT finished in front of it? Nothing to do with the CRT rider extracting the absolute maximum from his machine which is more than the Ducati riders are?
By your logic, the Tech3 Yam is no faster than a CRT based upon results achieved by Smith - except a certain Mr Crutchlow disproves that theory.
Just as there is a 1 second difference between the two Tech3 riders, there could just as easily be a rider out there who on a Daucati, could put a gap between himself and the current line-up.
You really haven't got a clue, have you?
Neither have you, from your reply

Welcome to the Clayton County Library System! The staff members at our six libraries look forward to helping you and your children with all your needs, whether your children are working on school projects or reading for fun.
Our libraries have a wide selection of books for all ages. We have books with sturdy cardboard pages for infants and toddlers, picture books to be read aloud, books for beginning readers, fiction for youth in grades 3-5, nonfiction for preschool-grade 5, plus a separate "Young Adult" collection for teens ages 12-18. Both the children's and young adult collections include some popular fiction, manga, and graphic novels (comics in book format).
In addition, each library has magazines for children that may be read in the library, with some older issues that may be checked out. The Forest Park, Lovejoy, Morrow, and Headquarters Library also have a separate collection of current and past issues of magazines of interest to teens that may be read in the libraries.
And don't forget ebooks and audiobooks! Check out TumbleBooks (online, narrated picture books), Sesame Street Online Books (online, narrated picture books), TumbleBookCloud Junior (online books and audiobooks for elementary-school kids), and TumbleBookCloud (online books and audiobooks for teens).
Most of the Clayton County schools make their Accelerated Reading lists available online, and we link to these lists from our Clayton Kids - Accelerated Reading page.
Please note that there is a difference between the reading level (book level) BL and the interest level of a book. See an explanation of the differences.
We also recommend using the Lexile Book Finder to find books for a particular reading level. If you do not know your child's Lexile measure, you can estimate it by using the online tool on the site or by entering a book that you know is the appropriate level and seeing what the Lexile measure for that book is.
Each library has an excellent collection of Reference books (encyclopedias, dictionaries, etc.) that can only be used in the library. Please ask staff to assist in finding what is needed. Reference books cannot be checked out, but photocopies may be made for a fee of $0.15 per page, and individual pages can be scanned using the library's photocopiers and saved to a flash drive or sent to an email as a PDF attachment. Students should remember to photocopy the front and back of the book's title page if they need to create a bibliography for their project.
The library provides access to a comprehensive collection of research databases and online books and magazines through a statewide system called GALILEO. Learn how to find the current password.
The library has some excellent online juvenile reference books that may be accessed through GALILEO. These e-books are listed by subject under the Homework Resources section of our Clayton Kids page. Other useful online databases to which the library subscribes in order to provide free access to the public include BrainFuse (free online tutoring!) and Mango Languages (Spanish, Japanese, French, English for Spanish Speakers, and Chinese). If your student needs could use some academic practice in various subjects, then use Learning Express, an online collection of practice tests and tutorials for grades 4-adult. Be sure to have the student assign himself/herself a password so you can track their progress!
Ask a staff person to see if another Clayton County or PINES library has the book, or if the information is available online through GALILEO. If another library has a book you need, you may place a hold on it and it will be delivered to your local library for free.
If library staff cannot find the information or book specifically required for a school assignment, please ask the staff to complete and sign the "Assignment Feedback" form that you can then give to the child's teacher.
You and your children are encouraged to make suggestions for additional subjects, titles, authors, or programs. You may put these suggestions in the suggestion box at any branch, or tell the library staff.
This page is a great help to families. If you need to keep kids from getting bored, try the links to various fun, educational games in the "Just for fun" section. To help your students with homework, look at the links in the "Homework" section. For some great book recommendations for children and teens, authors' sites, and reading-related sites, go to "Books." Also under "Books," click on TumbleBooks to gain free access to over 120 online animated picture books, available in English, Spanish & French with extended questions and activities. Also available - TumbleBook Cloud Junior (online books, audiobooks, and National Georgraphic videos for elementary school kids) and Sesame Street Ebooks featuring all your favorite Sesame Street characters! For assistance finding the Accelerated Reader list for your child's school or just good books to read for a particular reading level, go to the "Books" section.
This part of our site provides lots of resources of interest to teens, as well as book recommendations, first-line quotes from Young Adult books, information about upcoming teen events and new book releases, and opportunities for teens to show off and display their own artwork and writing and to recommend books they like to other Clayton County teens. Also available - TumbleBookCloud, online books and audiobooks for teens, including young adult fiction, classics, Shakespeare, graphic novels, and more.
The Forest Park Branch Library has a special area dedicated for use by teens 12-18. This area houses the Young Adult books, has computers and a quiet homework area, a gaming console and large-screen TV, and study tables. Teens may also borrow board games, cards, and art supplies from the Youth Services desk to use in the Teen Zone.
Each of our libraries has a section of computers set aside for use only by youth under age 18.
The "games" computers have been loaded with a selection of educational software games. A library card is not needed to use these computers, but you or your child must sign up on the reservation sheet at the staff desk.
The Headquarters Library has four computers with Internet access that can be reserved by youth under 18 only. Youth are also permitted to use the "PC Reservation System" to reserve time on any computer in the general library section. Each child or teen under age 18 MUST present his/her own library card in order to reserve any computer with Internet access. In order to comply with the Child Internet Protection Act (CIPA), staff will scan each youth's card and will only allow youth whose parents have approved Internet access on the youth's library card application to use the Internet-access computers. The library will not accept verbal permission, phone permission, or written notes brought in by the youth. Youth may not use someone else's card, including a parent's or sibling's card, or Internet access will be denied. However, a parent may opt to sit beside a child or teen who wants to access the Internet but who doesn't have his/her own card.
Children and teens may sign up on the reservation sheet for another session after their first session has ended, with a total of 120 minutes maximum allowed daily. The library uses a filter and blocks sites known to be inappropriate for a public library setting. Any parent who sees a library patron accessing a site that seems inappropriate should speak to a staff member. As long as the user follows the library's Internet Use Policy, the library will not monitor any youth's Internet session. A parent may do so if he or she wishes.
See also, Library Policies on Computer and Internet use.
All library programs are free. In order to assist parents in planning visits to library programs, most programs list a recommended audience age. Programs include story times for toddlers and preschoolers, 'Baby Talk' programs for parents or caregiver adults to attend with infants and toddlers (newborns to age 20 months), themed programs for both preschoolers and elementary-school age children, board game clubs, and special programs designed for teens. Most of our libraries show movies on a big-screen-type theatre system and allow the public to bring their own library-appropriate snacks. These programs are a great way for families to spend some quality time together without spending any money. Most of the programs require advance registration to help the staff plan the program. Many programs fill up quickly so register early! Ask to be placed on a waiting list if a specific program is full. Parents may attend programs at any of the county's six public libraries and are not restricted to the closest library. The library encourages families to extend the learning experience of the library program, by ongoing follow-up discussions and activities. A list of the books read will be distributed after most story times in case parents and children want to check out the highlighted books. Sign up to receive our monthly email newsletter and learn about other ways to get notified of upcoming events.
Each year, the Summer Reading Program encourages children and teens to read during the summer. The library's goal is to encourage youth to become Lifelong Readers. Youth who read for fun usually continue reading as adults. Like other learned skills, the more a person reads, the better reader he or she becomes. Studies have shown that youth who read during the summer maintain or improve their reading skills, whereas the reading skills of students who don't read during the summer frequently decline. The Summer Reading Program usually begins the day after school lets out, and continues through the end of August. Contact the library for information about specific summer incentives and programs. Pre-readers, as well as older children, may also participate by having books read aloud to them. Special needs children may be flexible in the ways they participate.
You can also help encourage your child to read over the summer by participating in the Adult Summer Reading Program through the Headquarters Library and showing your child that reading is fun.
Before coming to the library, please remind your children that many other people will also be using the library, and that some of them need quiet in order to study or read. Ask them to be respectful of other people in the library. Also remind them that they should not run because it's not safe. Please encourage children and teens to ask staff to help them find either information they need, or to recommend some good books to read. Tell children to ask a library staff person for help if they ever feel unsafe or worried for any reason.
All library materials are available to users of all ages. It is the parent's responsibility to decide what is appropriate for his/her family and for a specific child. In addition to considering the reading level of materials, a parent should also consider the content and maturity level of materials.
In order to protect the privacy of library users, the library will not give out information about materials checked out, overdue items, etc. on a child's card to anyone except to the parent, the legal guardian, or the child.
Library staff members are very busy assisting many library patrons and performing a variety of job-related tasks. Staff members cannot be responsible for watching anyone's children. For the children's safety, parents are urged to keep young children near them. Older children should be reminded to tell you which area of the library they plan to use. Parents may bring laptops into the children's area in order to be near their children, or may take puzzles, books or activity sheets to any other area of the library in order to keep a child occupied. Per library policy, children under age 8 may not be in the library without a responsible adult. If children under age 8 are in the library unaccompanied, the library may call the authorities. Youth under age 15 must be picked up by the library's closing time. The police will be called to transport youth remaining at the library beyond 15 minutes after closing.
Except at specific programs, parents should not allow children to bring food or drinks into the library.

Perfect!!! Just updated to 2.2 And No Flaws what so ever
hi can u make a custom one for 2G please? with everything
except the custom logos
i have a 2.1 2Giphone with tmobile
thanks so much in advance!
I updated my 3g to 2.2 using itunes - never jailbroken this one before - Im trying to use pwnage 2.2 and quickpwn 2.2 but neither work - had to restore my phone a couple of times to even get back to original settings.
Is there anything I can do to jailbreak ?
Sendspace's servers just can't handle load.
Yeah I just did a straight up upgrade and re-"hack".
Then, use Quickpwn to jailbreak....and AFTER that sync your stuff back.
Try that.
I have know idea of where to start, whats in the middle, and where the end is. I have read every post on here, i am still clueless as to how this is going to affect the 2g. I already downloaded the recommended tool....quickpwn, thats all i got from this forum that made any sense. So if anyone has a easy, maybe in a non technical way of spelling this out..it would 100% be greatly appreciated..I have jailbroken and unlocked before when i had the virginized form, it was easy with no issues at all. I went from nothing, to 2.1 firmware, jailbroke, and unlocked. Is it the same method or not??
I have 2g, 16g 2.1 FW....jailbroke/unlocked
My 3G is j/b running smooth. No issue so for.
Im also running a 2g iphone but im about to take a leap of faith and use itunes to update to 2.2 and then use the pwnage tool to jailbreak it, will give you the results when im done in a few
Uploading custom firmware to Rapidshare now but its uploading at 100kb/per second so its gonna take about 15 just for that....
i just need to clarify on a 3g with windows...i just simply update to 2.2 through itunes, then quickpwn (i'm not worried about potential unlocking) with the d/l'ed fw from the first page
i don't need to restore 2.1, then go to 2.2 then quickpwn.
Something strange happened, i am not an at&t customer not even a U.S. Customer i updated to firmware 2.2 through itunes and the phones still jailbroken my cydia installer and custom apps are all missing though
iPhone 2G
FW:2.2 JAILBROKEN & UNLOCKED w/quickpwn
Windows Vista OS X Edition.
my iphone is working faster now. apps. are loading faster too its pretty sweet men no problems w/it im like a kid with a new toy
by the way im using it w/at&t gophone prepid account w/ unlimited media net & unlimited messaging. sweet.......
phones still working fine, im calling out and texting fine, is like i said just cydia and installer are gone and missing but everything else is working flawlessly
sometimes i think i will give up my iphone 3g and get a 2g one
they seems easy on jailbreak and unlock.

Today's Front Pages Analysis
Dailies report mortgage giants' takeover while worrying about another hurricane
Two stories rate special attention today — the federal takeover of the two mortgage giants and the weather — the weather that was, the weather that is and the weather that may be.
Looking at the Florida dailies, the storm that is today and possibly tomorrow's big story is Hurricane Ike, which has been slamming Cuba and seems headed for Florida. Harking back to the 1952 election, when supporters of Dwight D. Eisenhower wore buttons with the slogan "I LIKE IKE," Hernando Today in Brooksville speaks for just about everyone in the state with the head "We don't like Ike," while the Bradenton Herald banners "Government seizes mortgage giants" but plays up the "Danger Zone" with a photo and map, noting that "Authorities beg Key West residents to evacuate." The Charlotte Sun leads with "Keys residents weigh evacuation" but also reports "Government takes over mortgage giants"; The Daytona Beach News-Journal takes on "Hurricane Season 2008" with a map and "Keys residents weigh evacuation ahead of Ike" but doesn't forget the mortgage story; and the Sun Sentinel in Ft. Lauderdale banners "U.S. mortgage takeover" above the nameplate but leads with "Ike slams into Cuba" and a report about South Florida being "frazzled but lucky" after the storms. El Nuevo Herald in Miami leads with "Ike desata su furia," or "Ike unleashes its fury."
With Louisiana another state that may be hit by the hurricane, The Times-Picayune in New Orleans banners "State keeps close eye on menacing Ike" while updating the problems of the previous storm with a couple of stories, including one about "More lights flicker to life." The Advocate in Baton Rouge reports "Keep watch on Ike" but also notes that "Many still waiting for power" after the last storm while The Times in Shreveport plays up that the previous storm "drained coffers" with "Local non-profits feeling the pinch."
In North Carolina, hit by the previous storm and concerned about the next one, The Fayetteville Observer reports that "Officials in Ike's path worry about hurricane fatigue setting in," The Daily Reflector in Greenville leads with "Powerful Ike churns towards Gulf of Mexico" and the Winston-Salem Journal reports "Ike pointed at Havana, Dumps on Haiti."
We're not there but we agree with the folks at Hernando Today — this time we don't like Ike.

OSHKOSH, WI (WTAQ) - UW-Oshkosh has started to build its third digester that turns waste into electricity.
The university recently began construction of a $7 million digester and public education center at the nearby Rosendale Dairy, the state's largest dairy farm.
Officials say the facility will turn livestock waste into methane that can be burned to produce enough electricity to power 1,200 homes. Also, local farmers can use residue from the digester for a type of fertilizer that's now available only on a distant basis from places like Canada and Florida.
The new center will also be used for related classes and research.
The electric sales from the digester will provide carbon credits for the university, and will help UW-Oshkosh reach its goals for producing green energy.
Officials of the dairy and the Oshkosh Foundation say the project is good for everyone involved – including the dairy's neighbors who've wanted fewer odors from the farm.
The other UW-Oshkosh digesters are at a farm near Larsen, and across the Fox River from the campus.

9 Signs You're Happier Than You Think
Surprising habits and traits that signify a sunny disposition
Are you a happy camper? Your emotional well-being isn't just about your genes or the kind of home you were raised in. It turns out that some pretty interesting factors play a role in how joyful you feel. Scan this list to see whether your lifestyle is making you content—and then bone up on these 12 ways to lift your mood.
You were a smiley student
Adults who had the biggest grins in their college yearbook pictures were up to 5 times less likely to be divorced decades later than those who looked less happy, according to a new DePauw University study. A smiler's positive disposition may attract other happy people or rub off on a spouse.
You have a sister
People with at least one female sibling reported better social support, more optimism, and better coping abilities, according to a study presented at the British Psychological Society's annual conference. Sisters appear to encourage communication and cohesion in families.
You're not glued to the TV
The happiest people spend 30% less time parked in front of the tube, according to a University of Maryland study that analyzed 34 years of data from more than 45,000 Americans. They're more likely to spend time socializing, reading, or going to religious services—habits that are linked to better moods and health.
You keep souvenirs on display
People who use mementos or photos to remind themselves of good times better appreciate their lives and are happier, says Sonja Lyubomirsky, PhD, a professor of psychology at University of California, Riverside. Good memories remind you of your "happiness potential" and promise that soon you can reach it again.
You make exercise a priority
People who exercise more are less likely to be stressed and more likely to be satisfied with life, according to Danish researchers. Compared with sedentary people, joggers were 70% less likely to have high stress levels and life dissatisfaction, the study found. Couch potatoes who started moderate exercise—the equivalent of 17 to 34 minutes a day—experience the greatest happiness lift.
You have a healthy love life
Physical intimacy is a key contributor to happiness, found a study by Dartmouth economist David Blanchflower, PhD, and Andrew Oswald, PhD, of England's University of Warwick. Married people report 30% more sex than singles, which may be one reason they also report being happier.
You hang out with happy people
Socializing with a cheerful person in your neighborhood increases the likelihood that you'll be happy too, according to a new study. How often you get together matters most, say the researchers: People who live within half a mile of a buoyant buddy increase their odds of being happy by 42%. If the friend lives farther away (within a 2-mile radius) the chances drop to 22%—probably due to fewer get-togethers.
You stay warm with hot cocoa
Clutching a steaming beverage—coffee and tea also do the trick—can elicit a flood of positive feelings, according to a Yale University study. This may be because people associate physical warmth with emotional warmth, say the researchers. Study subjects held cups of either hot or iced coffee; those gripping warm mugs were more appreciative of friendliness in others and also felt more generous and trusting themselves.
You have 2 best friends
Among 654 married adults, those who said they had at least two "best friends" (not necessarily including one's spouse) were likelier to have better mental well-being, says a study. But additional friends didn't lead to any more happiness than just a pair.
10 things teachers want parents to know
The relationship between teachers and parents is an extremely powerful component in student success. Yet so many parents go through the school year without communicating with the teacher or understanding what to do (or avoid) to make the most of the year.
So we went straight to the source and spoke with a teacher willing to reveal it all. Third-grade teacher Stacey Nelson is a devoted and successful educator in Tennessee, and on behalf of teachers across the country, she shared several things teachers wish parents knew before sending their children to school.
It boils down to three general guidelines: respect the teacher, be involved and be organized.
Respect the Teacher
• Remember that the teacher is on your side. Teachers truly care about your children and want them to be successful. "The child's success is our success," explains Nelson. If your child's teacher contacts you about a problem or something that happened at school, understand that the teacher is trying to work with you to resolve any conflicts that may be getting in the way of your child's success. You're all on the same team.
• Trust in the teacher's feedback. Just because a child doesn't exhibit a particular behavior at home doesn't mean he doesn't exhibit that behavior in the classroom. So if a teacher reports a particular behavior that you haven't seen before, don't rush to say, "Well, I've never seen him do that." The classroom and home environments are quite different, and oftentimes children behave differently when forced to follow rules and work with peers. Listen to what the teacher has to say and work with him/her to find a solution.
• Don't show up for a meeting unannounced. It's great if you want to meet with a teacher to discuss an issue or chat about your child, but don't show up at school without any warning. Instead, schedule a time to meet -- not only does this show that you respect the teacher's time, but it also gives him/her time to prepare for the meeting and provide you with everything you want to know.
• Don't go over the teacher's head. If you're having an issue with the teacher, your child, the subject matter or the classroom in general, talk directly with the teacher before going to the principal or other administrators. "Ninety-five percent of the time, a problem can be resolved between the teacher and parent with a simple phone call," Nelson says.
Be Involved
• Check children's agendas and take-home folders every night. According to the National PTA, talking with your children is one of the most critical steps of healthy parenting. "Communication is key," Nelson agrees. Not only does this help you stay on top of updates and what's going on in the classroom, but it also shows your child that you are checking in.
• Check on homework regularly -- but don't do it for the child! It's important to review your child's homework, but if she gets an answer wrong, take the time to help her understand why. "Please don't just tell her the right answer," Nelson says. "That defeats the purpose of homework!"
• Address behavior issues at home. "Children don't enjoy getting in trouble," Nelson says. "So when they come home and tell you about how mean the teacher is, keep in mind they may be telling the story in a way that they won't get punished." If this happens, try to get to the heart of the issue and uncover the facts so you can address it.
• Go to Open House Night. A good parent-teacher relationship leads to a good student-teacher relationship, so don't skip the open house! "In the past, I've had parents that I have honestly never met in an entire school year," Nelson says. "It's a sad fact." Use the open house as a time to get to know the teacher, ask questions, uncover expectations, address problems and find out what's going on in the classroom. Education.com tip: Ask the important questions first, in case time runs out.
Be Organized
• Establish a regular routine each night. This includes having children pack their backpacks the night before, to make sure they have everything they need for school the next day. "The number one thing my students tell me is, 'My homework is done, but I left it sitting on the table,'" Nelson says. A simple evening routine can prevent this and prevent children from feeling rushed or disorganized in the morning.
• Cut down on chaos and clutter at home. If your home life is disorganized, this can carry over into the classroom and make learning more difficult for the child. "When a child walks into my classroom, I can tell by the look on his face what kind of morning he had and what kind of day it will be," Nelson says. Simple things like keeping a tidy home, an organized homework desk and a clean bedroom can help the child feel prepared and focused on the day ahead.
Teachers...what can you add to the list?
At best, Facebook is a great, fun way to keep in touch with your friends and family. The worst thing about it is, maybe, it's a time-waster that keeps you from doing more important stuff.
That is, unless it actually costs you money.
According to GenXFinance.com, Facebook can actually hit you in the wallet in these ways:
Ways You Can Mess Up The First Day Of Work

Private Eyes
By Madeleine Cain
My mother would say that it served me right. "That's what you get!" she'd say, unable to keep that little note of told-you-so out of her voice. "The minute you start thinking you're all that, the world takes it upon itself to knock you down a peg."
And yes, my mother does use phrases like "you're all that." It's both embarrassing and hilarious.
Maybe my mother has a point. I brought Peter with me to the office party because I wanted him to meet my friends and see where I worked. Mostly.
Still, if I'm being totally honest, I have to admit that there was a tiny, catty little part of me that wanted to rub it in Jackie Bellenstein's little ferret face. Jackie, always so concerned about my poor, single self. "Why can't we find you a nice man like My Jeremy?" she'd say with wearying regularity, the capital letters clearly audible. "It isn't too late…have you tried those whatchamajiggy dating whatever things on the Internets?" This from Jackie Bellenstein, who thinks that the Internet is a series of tubes. "I mean, the clock is ticking, sweetie. What are you, thirty-four? Maybe My Jeremy has a nice friend you could meet."
I'm thirty. Ferret face.
I put it to you plain: faced with such a condescending buttinsky, would you not parade your handsome, successful, starting-to-be-serious boyfriend in front of her and make a point to stand him next to Her Jeremy, just to make sure everyone could see that yours is taller? Perhaps you wouldn't. If not, you're a better person than I am.
I met Peter at an art show. It was an exhibition of work by my friend Cliff the Art Guy, who specializes in pastel drawings of vehicles in the wrong places. Boats flying through the air, tanks rolling along the ocean floor, airplanes in supermarkets. I had come to the show to support Cliff, of course, but always with the hope that some erudite, attractive man might take notice of my obvious art savvy and find me irresistible.
I was having a look around at Cliff's new pieces when just such a man suddenly appeared at my elbow. "It's very Matisse, don't you think?" he said.
I struggled to dredge up any information about Matisee out of my subconscious. Matisse? Did he do that painting that is not a pipe? No, that's Magritte...well then, who's Matisse? "Uh…oh, very. Very Matisse," I said, nodding.
He nodded with me, sipping coffee from a Styrofoam cup. "Of course I have no idea what that means. But it sounds good, doesn't it?" he said, turning to face me, smiling.
I laughed. "It sounds very...erudite."
"And bonus points for use of an SAT word, as well! You're a challenging person to chat up."
"I hope not too challenging."
His smile broadened a little. "I'm Peter," he said, holding out his hand.
I shook it. "Allison." I nodded over towards Cliff. "Are you a friend of Cliff's?"
"Um...no, not really. You?"
"Yes, for years. You just stopped in, then?"
"Well, my friends wanted to go to the bar next door, and my asthma doesn't react well to smoke, so here I am." He shuffled a little, fidgeting from foot to foot. "I never thought I'd be glad to have asthma."
A little warning light went off in my head. Danger! Danger! Canned Pick-Up Line Alert! I ignored it. At least he was trying to pick me up, even if he was being a tad precious about it. "I'm beginning to have a new appreciation for asthma myself."
After that, we did the dance. The dance of having coffee, then dinner, then a longer dinner at a nicer restaurant. He told me about his job as an architect. I told him about mine as a human resources manager. I found his job fascinating, he pretended to find mine equally so.
Before I knew it, we were meeting the parents and taking the tours around each other's home stomping grounds. Look, this is where I went to high school. That's where my Little League team played. My best girlfriend lived in that house. I used to fish off this bridge with my grandfather.
And then, I had The Moment. He'd taken me ice skating, at which he was skilled and I was profoundly the opposite, which made me suspicious of his motives for the outing. "Did you suggest this just so I'd be falling into your arms every thirty seconds?" I asked, as I did just that yet again.
He laughed. "No. But I'd be lying if I said I was sad about it working out this way." He lifted me back to a position approximating upright and watched me chop my way a few feet along, arms out, butt sticking up, half bent over like I might be about to retch. I made it twenty feet without falling, and I looked up at him to crow about my success.
He was watching me with this look on his face. The look I'd been waiting my whole life to see on a man's face. He grinned and clapped. "Good job!" he said, and I had The Moment.
He could be the guy. He really could.
Jackie Bellenstein, of course, didn't believe me.
"Oh, honey. Asthma? He was feeding you such a line! I can't believe you fell for it!"
"Even if he was, that doesn't mean he's a terrible person, you know."
She just shook her head, as though my naiveté made her so very sad. "A relationship that starts on a pretense is based on a lie," she said, sing-song. Another of her Jackie Bellenstein Totally Made-Up Words of Wisdom.
"Pick-up lines are hardly lies," I said, teeth clenched.
"And you said he's, what? A carpenter?"
"He's an architect."
"Oh, whatever. My Jeremy's in stocks and securities, I just get so caught up in that world." She leaned forward, conspiratorial, like we were partners in crime planning a surprise party. "I hope you'll bring him to the party so we can all meet him."
I just smiled. Oh, count on it.
Ferret face.
"So which one am I supposed to be extra-fabulous for?" Peter asked me as we climbed the stairs to the loft, the sound of a low-rent DJ wafting down from above us.
"Jackie. She'll be the one Saran-wrapped to a tall blond guy with a pronounced lisp."
"I could just casually mention that I'm taking you to the Bahamas on my yacht for your birthday."
"You don't have a yacht."
"I could have a yacht. What does she know?"
"No, she'd figure it out somehow. She'd look at your...I don't know, your knuckles or something, and intuit that you didn't have a yacht, and then she'd tell the story from here to Hoboken about how I brought the boyfriend with the fake yacht, and isn't that just so like me?"
Peter paused at the top of the stairs and looked at me. "Wow. This woman really gets to you, doesn't she?"
I took a deep breath. "I shouldn't let her."
He put one arm around me and gave me a quick squeeze and a kiss on the forehead. "She only goes after you because she knows you're smart, beautiful and totally superior to her in every way, so she's got to tear you down so she can feel better about her tiny, sad existence."
I smiled up at him. "You're too good to be true, you know that?"
We walked into the party hand in hand, and my friends immediately rushed over to meet Peter. I saw Jackie eyeing me from across the room, plastered to Her Jeremy's side as predicted. Once the introductions were over, she made her grand entrance. "Allison, honey! Is this the fabulous Peter we've heard so much about?"
"Yes, it is," I said, smiling as brightly as I could. "Peter, this is Jackie, and her fiancé Jeremy..." Hand-shaking all around.
"Allison tells me you met in an art gallery," Jackie said.
"That's right. I was fleeing a bar that was playing hell with my asthma."
"Oh, you!" Jackie said, slapping at his forearm. "That's the oldest line in the world!"
Peter just blinked. "It is? I thought the oldest line in the book was that 'what's your sign' thing."
Jackie didn't miss a beat. "So, what made you zero in on our girl here?"
Peter turned and looked at me, shutting one eye and considering the question. "Hmm. Well, I think the first thing I noticed about her was her eyes."
I turned to look at him, surprised. "Really? You've never told me that." My heart was sinking. He wasn't the only one who'd kept a few things to himself.
Jackie was eating this up. "Her eyes? What about them?"
"Don't you think they're pretty? They're such a beautiful green."
"Oh, they certainly are!" Jackie cried, turning to me, eyes wide, practically bursting with delighted schadenfreude. "Such a beautiful green. Almost...unnatural!" She laughed while I stared daggers at her. What had possessed me to tell Jackie about my secretly-fake eye color years before, I'll never know.
Peter just looked confused. "Uh...I don't think they look unnatural."
Too bad they are. Amazing what they can do with contact lenses these days, isn't it? "You'll have to excuse us, Jackie. I want Peter to meet Mr. Morgenstern."
"Oh, you go along, honey." Jackie waggled her eyebrows at me, mouthing something behind Peter's back that I didn't quite catch.
Great. More ammo for her 'we girls have to stick together' tommy-gun of emotional blackmail.
I led Peter away. "That was kinda weird," he muttered to me.
"Oh, she's...weird like that." My mind was spinning. My eyes? He liked me for my eyes? My contacts were extended wear; he'd never seen me change them. It had never occurred to me to tell him they weren't my natural color. What if he thought I was vain when he found out? What if green eyes were such a selling point for him that my natural hazel would be a deal-breaker?
If that's true, then he's shallow and you're well rid of him. Just tell him the truth and see what happens.
But tell him what, exactly?
I steered Peter towards the offices. "Where are we going?" he asked.
"Oh...I just want to ask you something." I steered him into a nearby conference room and shut the door behind us. "Is that really true?"
"Is what really true?"
"Did you really talk to me because you liked my eyes?"
He smiled, slow and lopsided, and looked a little embarrassed. "Well...yeah. At first. I've always liked green eyes, and I noticed yours right away."
"So...you only date girls with green eyes?"
"No, not exclusively. But I admit I have a preference."
He seemed to think this was a charming quirk. I was past nervous and edging into angry. "I get it. What else is on your little checklist? Skinny ankles? Strategically placed moles? Do you have a Bingo card with all the attributes you'd like to see, and the girls that get a row of five are fed your line about the asthma?"
Peter frowned. "Allison, what's the big deal? I like your eyes, but that's not all I like about you."
"Is it some kind of...eye fetish? Did your mother have green eyes or something?"
"What's going on? Where is all this coming from? So I was attracted to your eyes - is that so terrible?"
"Yes!" I exclaimed. "It's terrible because it's shallow, and it's all just surface, Peter! Am I just a pair of green eyes to you?"
"I don't think we should see each other anymore."
Now his mouth was hanging open in outright shock. "What? Because I like your eye color?"
"It's not my eye color!" I burst out, before I could stop myself.
He frowned. "What do you mean?"
I put my hands over my face, feeling ten kinds of stupid. "They're contacts," I said, dropping my hands. "They're not real. My eyes are boring old hazel underneath."
Peter just stared at me for a moment, then he busted out laughing. This did not improve my mood. "I'm sorry," he said, gasping and getting himself under control. "It's just...is that what this is about? You're worried that..." He shook his head and came over to me. "Allison, I don't care what color your eyes are. That's what made me talk to you at first, sure. But that's not what kept me talking. So your eyes are hazel. I bet they're beautiful."
I was watching his face like a hawk for any signs of leg pulling. "Seriously?"
"Yeah," he said. "If you think I'd be less interested in you because your eyes aren't really green, then...you must not think much of me."
I sighed, feeling a little silly. "Oh, you'll do."
He smiled. "Good. So, can we not break up, please?"
I elbowed him, smiling back. "I'll think about it."
"And after this party, I want to see what you look like in glasses."
I laughed. "They're granny glasses, I'm warning you."
"Oh, that's even better."
"With horn rims."
"Stop it, you're turning me on."
"And a little beaded chain..."
"Enough! I can't control myself."
We went back to the party, laughing like idiots, while Jackie Bellenstein simpered on.
Take that, Ferret Face.

Timothy Justin French, 20 of Morristown, Tenn., was charged with conspiracy to commit computer fraud and abuse, according to a statement from the U.S. Attorney's office in Chicago.
French and other members of "NullCrew" attacked corporations, educational institutions and government agencies, then released data and information, including usernames and passwords, a federal criminal complaint said.
The complaint claims French was involved in five cyber attacks by NullCrew between July 2013 and April 2014, with victims including universities, a telecommunications company and a mass media company, the statement said.
In each attack, NullCrew released information from the victim's computers and caused "significant financial damages to the universities and companies," according to prosecutors.
Nullcrew allegedly used a computer server in Chicago to launch the attacks, according to the complaint. A spokesman for the U.S. State's Attorney's office would not say whether any of the companies or universities attacked were in Chicago.
French faces a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

Cheap, cheap, cheap. Its a great idea but very poor construction. The switch doesnt work most of the time. The light flutters on and off. Its so cheap its not worth sending back. I guess you cant expect much for the price but it should at least function.Read All Reviews

Poorly designed. Never did light. Kids toys have stronger magnets. Wires attach to lid that break off when inserting batteries. This light ball was tossed In the garbage the first day and is now spending life in the landfill. Awful product.Read All Reviews

Gotta be more specific, but since I'm hopped up on Starbucks this morning, here we go;
http://www.wowwiki.com/Useful_macros_for_rogues is a great place to start. I only have a few macros, personally, and one isn't rogue specific.
This first one will allow me to right click/left click a single button to apply poisons, and using shift, ctrl, alt, or any other combination to apply different poisons (works best if you can limit yourself to 4 or 5 types instead of all 6 types. As combat, I never use instant, for example, and it's not in the macro) Here's what mine looks like:
/use [nomod] Deadly Poison VII; [mod:alt] Crippling Poison II; [mod:ctrl] Mind-numbing Poison III; [mod:shift] Wound Poison V
/use [button:1] 16; [button:2] 17
Another relies on itemID numbers to swap between my Fishing Pole and Hat, to my DPS helm and weapons. The first time the macro fires, it equips fishing gear. 2nd time it's hit (and every time after that) it will cast Fishing. Holding down Alt while hitting this while fishing equipment is equipped will apply a Lure to the pole. Hold Ctrl when it's hit, and it will switch back to Weapons and Helm (unless I just got jumped while fishing, which means I fite the mans in a big floppy brown hat, I'd be in combat and only weapons will switch). To give you a general idea, here's an older version that uses Item Names instead of ItemID#s:
/equip [nomodifier:alt] Big Iron Fishing Pole
/equip [mod :ctrl] Blade of Infamy
/equip [mod :ctrl] Merciless Gladiator's Quickblade
/cast [noequipped:Fishing Poles] Fishing
/use [mod :alt] Sharpened Fish Hook
/use 16
To retrieve the ItemID#, you can pick up an item with your cursor, and use this script (either copy paste, or bind it to a key temporarily so you don't have to click it, obviously)
/script local infoType, info1, info2 = GetCursorInfo(); if infoType == "item" then DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage( info1 ); end
The last one I'll show is near and dear to my heart. You must turn on Auto Loot in your interface options for this to work, and make sure that the modifier set up for Non-Auto Loot does not match with any modifiers for openers. eg, if you hold down shift while you loot it will present you with the pane instead of looting all items automagically - in this scenario, make sure none of your openers are Shift + Another button (Shift 1 for ambush or something). Anyway, make a macro for each one of your openers that looks like this:
#showToolTip Cheap Shot
/cast Pick Pocket
/cast Cheap Shot
This will, obviously, pick pocket the mob as you stab or stun or bleed them. The caveat is you cannot immediately after performing the opener use another skill. It will close the window before your client can talk to the server and nab the loot in their pockets. Especially so if you have medium to high latency. I've seen an auto-loot pane flash and then close before I actually looted it where there was something juicy (like a blue gem back in the day), and vanished to reset the mob and get OOC so I can actually cast Pick Pocket and nab the goods.

Raising Backyard Poultry For Fun!
Raising chickens in your backyard is a great experience. I put together a short video of some of my chickens for you to see.
I get all my baby chicks from Dark Egg Daily. They take extra precautions to ensure their flock is free of diseases so that I will have healthy baby chicks when they arrive to my home. I have been ordering the French Marans breeds that lay the dark brown chocolate eggs such as the Wheaten Marans and the Black and black copper Marans. I also have purchased the Speckled Sussex breed of chickens form Dark Eggs Daily. The speckled Sussex like the Marans are a very nice cold hardy breed of chickens that are pleasant to raise and they get along well with each other and other breeds.
Dark Eggs Daily is a great Chick Hatchery to order baby chicks from online.
