Former internationals Maurice Symes (Christchurch) and Mike
Kernaghan (Kaikorai) showed they still have what it takes
when they won the Stewart Buttar Invitation Pairs on Sunday.
The pairs event honours the memory of former international
Buttar whose promising career was cut short when he died of
cancer early this century. Symes and Kernaghan beat the
Fairfield pair of Ken Walker and Ross Thomson 12-7 in the
15-end final of the Australian pairs at the Burnside club in
Australian pairs is a fours game played by two players.
It was a high quality field that included some of the top
Australians who won gold medals at World Bowls in Adelaide
last year.
It was the first time Symes and Kernaghan had played together
since they represented New Zealand in 1992. Walker and
Thomson have played together in the event for the past three
years and have finished second, third and seventh.
• New Zealand Professional Bowls Association qualifier Phil
Bennett (Waikato) caused a major upset when he knocked out
defending world indoor champion Andy Thomson (England) in the
first round of the World Indoor Singles in Norfolk, England
8-8, 8-3.
Dunedin's Aidan Lusby has drawn Thomson in next month's UK
International open singles in Blackpool.

United Nations Security Council Resolution 445
Adopted by the Security Council at its 2122nd meeting, by 12 votes to 0, with 3 abstentions (France, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, United States of America) on 8 March 1979
The Security Council,
Recalling its resolutions on the question of Southern Rhodesia, and in particular resolutions 253 (1968) of 29 May 1968, 403 (1977) of 14 January and 411 (1977) of 30 June 1977, 423 (1978) of 14 March, 424 (1978) of 17 March and 437 (1978) of 10 October 1978,
Taking note of the statement of the African Group contained in document S/13084, ([1])
Having heard the statements of the representatives of Angola ([2]) and Zambia, ([2])
Having also heard the statement of the representative of the Patriotic Front of Zimbabwe, ([2])
Gravely concerned about the indiscriminate military operations undertaken by the illegal regime and the extension of its premeditated and provocative acts of aggression not only against neighbouring independent countries but also against non-contiguous States, resulting in wanton killings of refugees and civilian populations,
Indignant at the continued executions by the illegal regime in Southern Rhodesia of persons sentenced under repressive laws,
Reaffirming that the existence of the illegal racist minority regime in Southern Rhodesia and the continuance of its acts of aggression against neighbouring independent States constitute a threat to international peace and security,
Reaffirming the inalienable right of the people of Southern Rhodesia (Zimbabwe) to self-determination and independence in accordance with General Assembly resolution 1514 (XV) of 14 December 1960 and the legitimacy of their struggle to secure the enjoyment of such rights as set forth in the Charter of the United Nations,
Gravely concerned by the moves within certain States to send missions to observe the so-called elections in April 1979 organized by the illegal racist minority regime in Southern Rhodesia, for the purpose of according it some legitimacy and thereby eventually lifting sanctions,
Reaffirming Security Council resolution 423 (1978), particularly its provisions declaring illegal and unacceptable any internal settlement concluded under the auspices of the illegal regime and calling upon all States not to accord any recognition to such a settlement,
Bearing in mind the responsibility of every Member State to adhere scrupulously to Security Council resolutions and decisions, and their responsibility to ensure that institutions and citizens under their jurisdiction will observe the same,
1. Strongly condemns the recent armed invasions perpetrated by the illegal racist minority regime in the British colony of Southern Rhodesia against the People's Republic of Angola, the People's Republic of Mozambique and the Republic of Zambia, which constitute a flagrant violation of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of these countries;
2. Commends the People's Republic of Angola, the People's Republic of Mozambique and the Republic of Zambia and other front-line States for their support of the people of Zimbabwe in their just and legitimate struggle for the attainment of freedom and independence and for their scrupulous restraint in the face of serious provocation by the Southern Rhodesian rebels;
3. Requests all States to give immediate and substantial material assistance to enable the Governments of the front-line States to strengthen their defence capbility in order to safeguard effectively their sovereignty and territorial integrity;
4. Requests the administering Power to take all necessary measures to prevent further illegal executions in Southern Rhodesia;
5. Condemns all attempts and manoeuvres by the illegal regime, including its so-called elections of April 1979, aimed at retaining and extending a racist minority rule and at preventing the accession of Zimbabwe to independence and genuine majority rule;
6. Declares that any elections held under the auspices of the illegal racist regime and the results thereof will be null and void and that no recognition will be accorded either by the United Nations or any Member State to any representatives or organ established by that process;
7. Urges all States to refrain from sending observers to these elections and to take appropriate action to discourage organizations and institutions within their respective areas of jurisdiction from doing so;
8. Requests the Security Council Committee established in pursuance of resolution 253 (1968) concerning the question of Southern Rhodesia to meet immediately and consider measures for strengthening and widening the sanctions against Southern Rhodesia and to submit its proposals not later than 23 March 1979;
9. Decides to meet, not later than 27 March 1979, to consider the report envisaged in paragraph 8 of the present resolution.

I have had my blog up for a few months now but do not seem to be able to get indexed by Google. I've listed in site in some directories.
Any comments on what else I should do?
Thanks in advance.
I have had my blog up for a few months now but do not seem to be able to get indexed by Google. I've listed in site in some directories.
Any comments on what else I should do?
Thanks in advance.
Have you told them a little about your site?
yeah, i have - a couple of months ago actually...
All you can basicly do is wait, are you really sure that you havent seen your site on google? Do a couple of searches,
1) site:yoursitename.com <- will look for any page that is listed with google
2) link:yoursitename.com <- will see who is linking you.
I'd try 'em again.
It's been a few years now, but I can recall having to hit them several times over about three months when I went live with my first blog, because my listings would go in and out of their index. And it hurts nothing to keep *bugging* them, since it's automated.
Would you happen to have a robots.txt file that may be telling the spiders to ignore the directory your blog exists in? Also, my research has shown time and again that yes, they are slow, but they also place a lot of weight on link TO your site.
Looks like from your backlinks that your banned from google. Search some SEO forums to find out if there was a reason why.
Of course, I may be wrong.
i've tried both the site: and link: search... empty...
cianuro, what do you mean by my backlinks got me banned by google?
Good has difficulty indexing pages that use the index.php?p=87 style links. Google prefers the /archives/2005/10/01/specific-postname/ style (permalinks). I don't think that could get you banned though. I see no reasons for you being banned. I'd suggest setting up permalinks. For more information on that, read this:
Maybe all her links have "rel=nofollow"? ;)
Macmanx is right...Google is really hot and bothered over a nice set of WordPress permalinks.
Use meta tags dude :). I use them and my site gets indexed everyday by googlebot:
(This one is old cause Its when I had that title couple of days ago)
Its definitely not the permalinks. Google still indexes the main page.
It looks from your PR (Gray PR bar) that your site has been banned.
I mean, if you look in other search engines, you have a good few google listed backlinks. For example, youve got a nice listing in yahoo.
I would have someone over at seo-forums or better still SEO-GUY take a look and give you a more detailed answer. Alternatively, you could contact google. Dont hold your breath though. One of my sites got banned and I am still waiting on a response a month later.
Hope this is useful to you. Sorry I cannot be more specific.
I was pleased that my blog got indexed by the Googlebot. Woohoo!!
Not quite sure how I did it, but it's done.

In addition to all the benefits, IoT is also bringing new kind of customer experience challenges - cars that unlock themselves, thermostats turning houses into saunas and baby video monitors broadcasting over the internet. This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity.

Early adopters of IoT viewed it mainly as a different term for machine-to-machine connectivity or M2M. This is understandable since a prerequisite for any IoT solution is the ability to collect and aggregate device data, which is most often presented in a dashboard. The problem is that viewing data in a dashboard requires a human to interpret the results and take manual action, which doesn't scale to the needs of IoT.

This data needs to be captured, processed, structured, and stored in a way to facilitate different kinds of queries.

Fast Retailing Falls After Uniqlo Sales in Japan Drop
Fast Retailing Co., Asia's biggest clothing chain, fell to the lowest level in more than seven weeks in Tokyo trading after sales at its Uniqlo stores in Japan dropped for the fifth straight month.
Fast Retailing lost 5.1 percent to 12,400 yen at the 3 p.m. trading close on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, the lowest level since Nov. 12. That's also the stock's biggest decline in almost three months. Japan's benchmark Nikkei 225 Stock Average gained 1.4 percent.
Sales at stores open at least 12 months fell 15.5 percent in December from a year earlier because unseasonal warm weather hurt sales of winter clothing, the Yamaguchi city, Japan-based company said yesterday. The Uniqlo chain also faces competition from domestic rivals including Aeon Co. and Shimamura Co., which are selling thermal products similar to its Heattech range.
"The sales result is further evidence that Fast Retailing is still in a slump," Mitsuo Shimizu, an equity analyst at Cosmo Securities Co. in Tokyo, said by telephone today. "The company's Heattech is losing its edge, and it's hard to introduce hit products constantly."
Fast Retailing, which generates more than 80 percent of sales in Japan, will add 44 Uniqlo stores overseas and 36 in Japan in the 12 months ending August, raising its total to 1,024, it said Oct. 8. That's the same pace of openings as the previous fiscal year. The company said in 2009 it aims to boost the tally to 4,000 by 2020.
Return to Basics
The retailer is returning its focus to basic clothes and offering discounts after attempts to compete in trendy fashion with Inditex SA's Zara and Hennes & Mauritz AB contributed to a 26 percent drop in market value last year.
Revenue per customer declined 6.1 percent in December. While Heattech products, fleece gear and down jackets "sold well" last month, overall sales of jackets and sweaters didn't meet Uniqlo's expectations, Terunobu Aono, a Fast Retailing spokesman, said yesterday, without giving projected figures.
"We can't be optimistic about Uniqlo in Japan," Naozumi Nishimura, an analyst at TIW Inc. in Tokyo with a "neutral plus" rating on the stock, said yesterday. Still, any share-price decline "will be limited as investors have hopes for Fast Retailing's overseas expansion," he said.
Shares of Aeon, Japan's second-largest retailer, rose 0.3 percent to 1,018 yen. Shimamura gained 0.7 percent to 7,560 yen.
The average temperature in Tokyo last month was 9.9 degrees Celsius (50 degrees Fahrenheit), 1.5 degrees higher than the average in the three decades through 2000, according to the Japan Meteorological Agency's website.

I think we will sign Kaep to an extension this summer and we will draft a back-up QB next year or we will pick up someone like Tahj Boyd or Stephen Morris as an UDFA. I didn't make any trades because they are too difficult to predict but obviously Baalke will make trades for future picks and players that fit our teams scheme.

Europol Uncovers Match-Fixing Scheme, Questions 'Integrity' Of Football In Europe
The European Union police organization, Europol, uncovered a massive match-fixing scheme that they say presents "a big problem for the integrity of football in Europe."
As the AP reports, the Europol investigation found "more than 380 suspicious matches — including World Cup and European Championship qualifiers and two Champions League games — and found evidence that a Singapore-based crime group is closely involved in match-fixing."
BBC Sport reports police say one Champions League game that ended in a tie was a part of the fixed matches.
"It is clear to us this is the biggest-ever investigation into suspected match-fixing in Europe. It has yielded major results which we think have uncovered a big problem for the integrity of football in Europe," Rob Waiwright, director of Europol, said according to the BBC. "We have uncovered an extensive criminal network."
Wainwright said this is the first time they have evidence to establish organized crime has taken a foothold in the soccer world.
The AP adds:
"He said a Singapore-based criminal network was involved in the match fixing, spending up to €100,000 ($136,500) per match to bribe players and officials.
"It was not immediately clear how many of the matches mentioned Monday have been revealed in previous match-fixing investigations in countries including Germany and Italy.
"Wainwright and other officials and prosecutors declined to identify any of the suspects, players or matches involved, citing their ongoing investigations."

My Firefox updated today, it's now on version 25. Since then Digg Digg has stopped working completely, other than a blank empty floating box with the word "false" underneath it.
I checked it in Chrome and the same problem happens there, but in Internet Explorer 10 it works just fine. Just wondered if you were aware of this and perhaps if you are working on an update? My website is bobinoz.com if you want to take a look.

Notice how the mothers hold their children over this idea.
Nothing, only now they get a trophy for it…… so their poor yiddle self esteem isn't diminished.
Agreed – that's when the rot set in!
I beleive that all this helecoptering is hurting how we learn to interact with others. Sharing is a thing of the past. Putting another's feelings/needs before our own is gone. It's all about me me me.
I agree with the helicoptering parenting, but I hope things are changing in the right direction now that we've seen how harmful protecting our children too much can be.
I have elementary school kids, and while I see some helicoptering, I also see more and more parents who deliberately step back and let their kids make mistakes.
The only concern that I have is that too many don't teach their kids responsibility and respect. Helicoptering has nothing to do with respect for others. I know many kids whose parents let them do whatever, yet they don't teach them to think about anyone except for themselves.
So, Evie, what are your scars???
Evie speaks with the wisdom of someone who has "been there, done that." She was probably just as nervous when she was a young mom. Now she's a grandmother. She's seen the world. Life is all about learning, and we learn from our mistakes.
Please excuse my ignorance. What the deuce is "helicopter parenting?"
This is a classic strip- It's good to see it again- one of my favorites.
Scars teach us how to adapt. Parents (and grandparents, and "created" family) give us the guidance we need to continue to grow the right way. Most of us wouldn't survive well, though, if we were, in landscaping parlance, "brutally pruned". True trauma is what parents hope they can protect their child against, but- it happens.
I heard that being a parent is a second chance to get childhood right and being a grandparent is a second chance to get parenting right.
One of the problems is that although grandparents have been there – done that, the younger ones don't listen. They almost insist on making the mistakes themselves. It's all part of the fun – I guess.
The part about "kids can do no wrong" reminds me of one case I'd seen: the kid was a total brat and a bully, and his mom only said he was "cute as a button." You know that the kid is going to turn out wrong. But what can you or anybody do?
It refers to parents that hover over their kids at all times, telling them what to do and protecting them from everything. They are so involved in their kid's lives, that the kid doesn't make a decision on their own, or experience the real world.
Helicopter parents are the Defenders, not wanting their children to experience any of the bad things in life. A nice I idea but it fails in reality. You need the bad in order to understand it and to know the difference with the good.

Deduplication, the process of identifying redundant data segments between separate files, is moving its way through the storage infrastructure. The next deduplication targets are primary storage systems and all-flash arrays. As we saw in a recent poll Storage Switzerland conducted, the number one concern is performance impact. You want deduplication, but you don't want it to impact your applications' performance.
Overcoming performance problems is more than just throwing more processing power at the problem. You need intelligent design of the deduplication logic itself. Certainly more processing power helps. As most storage systems upgrade to the latest Intel processors, they will have a new lease on life when it comes to providing all the storage services that you expect from your storage system, like snapshots, replication, and cloning.
Deduplication is a little different though, because there is a database-like lookup that must occur with most deduplication technologies. Anytime there is a lookup, the processor's speed becomes less important because it has to wait on the device that holds the table that performs the lookup. The device's speed becomes more important than processing power.
[ Learn about The Storage Problem Technology Can't Solve. ]
What causes the deduplication lookup? Most deduplication technologies create a table to store information about unique and similar data. As data is sent to a device with deduplication enabled, that data is segmented and then given a hash code. Think of it as a unique serial number. The data is then stored and the serial number or hash code is stored in the table mentioned above. As more data is sent to the device, it is also segmented and given a code. If that code matches a previous code then it is identical data. The table is updated, but the redundant data is not stored. This is where your capacity savings comes from. It is also where your potential performance bottleneck comes from.
As more and more data is stored on the system, that table grows in size. The more unique the data is, the more that table will grow, and, of course, the more total data there is, the more that table will grow. This is important when we talk about deduplication in primary storage. Primary storage does not have near the level of redundancy that backup data does. As a result, the number of entries in the hash table can be dramatically larger than it would be in a backup environment.
Why is this important? It impacts the type of storage device where you can store the lookup table. Most vendors, aware that the speed of the device where the deduplication table is stored is an issue, try to store the entire table in RAM. There is no waiting, but there is a cost and capacity issue
What happens when the number of entries, or the total dataset under management, becomes so large that the deduplication lookup table gets too big to store in RAM? You have to page to a hard disk or SSD, so, essentially, RAM becomes a cache. The problem is that normal cache logic won't work in this situation. This is not a first-in, first-out scenario. You need to verify uniqueness across the entire dataset, not just the most recently stored data.
As we will cover in our upcoming webinar "What is Breaking Deduplication?" if RAM is not used properly, then that means a repeated trip to the hard disk or SSD AND it means that the powerful processor in the storage system has to wait. Its extra processing power--and the money you spent on it--goes to waste.

Reviews for Bristol Rhythm And Roots Reunion
In ten years of steady growth, Bristol Rhythm and Roots Reunion has become the model of a successful small town event. Three days of music on more than a dozen stages all contined in a compact downtown location, with styles running the gamut from traditional old-time gospel and bluegrass to new-grass, jazz, folk, and rockabilly and hard to describe acts. A rock-bottom price that allows nearly anyone to enjoy the entire weekend, and opportunities to volunteer to work for half a day in exchange for one day's admission for those who can't afford the admission.
As a donor, the opportunity to support the festival and the community also for a low price is uniquely appealing. I've sponsored a stage for the last few years as an small business owner and feel great in being part of this labor of love.
The word is out, the festival keeps growing. Until you experience it, you have no idea what a music festival can be.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
enjoying the festival and helping financially support it.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
expand the festival to a spring weekend as well.

Writing retreat can enlighten your thoughts
Published: Wednesday, October 17, 2007 at 12:48 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, October 16, 2007 at 11:00 p.m.
If there were writers retreats when I was younger I knew nothing about them. Even if there had been I would not have been able to take advantage of the opportunity. We had no money, and later we had too many children to care for. It took everything we had to see to their well-being of body and soul.
Today, though, is another matter. Many people have more money and often can avail themselves of opportunities that were denied them in their more youthful years. A case in point is the upcoming writers retreat to be presented Nov. 16-17 at Lumen Christi Retreat Center.
Tian Uddenberg is coming to Lumen Christi from Canada to lead the retreat. I attended the first annual writers retreat given last year, and I thought it was wonderful. I would recommend it to anyone. Everybody who has ever visited Lumen Christi can tell you of its effect on the visitor. Its situated in a serene setting, giving the writer every advantage to delve deep into his subconscious and conscious thoughts in order to place on paper the exact words he or she is looking for to describe any given event.
In the pamphlet advertising the retreat, the words "Rediscover a new key to your writing " invites you to dig into the depths of your soul to create memorable prose and poetry. The title of the retreat is "Prose, Poetry, Prayer forming the present." The pamphlet also asks you to "Come, explore and be refreshed. Open to all writers from professionals to amateurs."
The spiritual director of the Lumen Christi is the Rev. Ron Yee-Mon. He is a good friend of Uddenberg, who will give the retreat. I am sure Uddenberg will do as good a job as he did last year in presenting the writers retreat. I can only urge you, if there is any possibility at all for you to do so, to attend this years retreat.
Regretfully, I will not be able to attend. Ive been called to work at the polls and many years ago I told myself that if asked I would not shirk my civic duty, therefore I will be working at the polls. However, those of you who want to attend can still vote. The retreat will end early enough on Nov. 17 to give you time to exercise your right and privilege to vote. I urge you to do so.
For more information or to registerm call Aimee at Lumen Christi at 985-868-1523. To register online, e-mail email@example.com.
Gene Fowler is quoted as having said "Writing is easy: all you do is sit staring at a blank sheet of paper until the drops of blood form on your forehead." Frankly, Ive never found writing to be that difficult, but then again, Im not a great writer.
And Samuel Johnson said a mouthful when he supposedly uttered these words: "Your manuscript is both good and original; but the parts that are good are not original, and the parts that are original are not good."
Howd you like to get a rejection slip that read like that? I think Id want to shrivel up and die.
Learn from every possible source. A writers retreat is a great source.

I just deployed Nagios on a Gentoo server and everything is fine except ssh, which it marks as "CRITICAL" because it's refusing connections. But that's because it's running on a port different from the default 22. How do I change it so that it monitors the right port?
does this answer your question? -p parameter lets you specify the port, make custom check in /etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg and put there:
In ssh pluging config /etc/nagios-plugins/config/ssh.cfg, there an alias named check_ssh_port. if it not existe you may define it like above:
in the service file /etc/nagios3/conf.d/services_nagios2.cfg, define you ssh service to monitor like this:
replace 12000 by you default ssh port and server by your target.
As none of the solutions above worked for me, I'll post this small variation.
This definition is the default one (e.g.:
I guess it's a hybrid version of two of the solutions given.
It works on Nagios Core 4 with nagios-plugins 2.1.1
You can also define the second parameter, "server", in the host_name parameter this way:
So, if the address of the host changes, you only have to modify this parameter once, for all services defined for this host.

ooh i wonder if cw has a great flanker bners are fondof?

amber sultan..
jasmine et cigarette..
i enjoy all whiffs of fragrance i get actually even the supposedly crappy frags people wear to the gym. so to me wearing a frag is better than no frag.
polo blue
ysl la nuit
eau sauvage...
what is the blue brut in a square box? i have only tried the aftershave splash when i was in a retro barbershop phase..

2012 seems promising with the green packaging. love green frags..
wonder if f for men is good but i couldn't smell anything the last time around.
perhaps we need more boardroom frags too coz this is where i seemed to have always spotted it being the number 1 choice.
were the purchased by a huge luxury conglomerate?
stuff like acqua di parma never used to reach my shores but i believe the tod's ceo bought the brand which might explain the availability now..
what is this frag called canoe? is it aromatic or more straight up fougere?
grey flannel. narciso rodriguez are they more violet leaf than fougere?
bahaha no it was kevin costner!
iv never tried it tho so no idea if it is good or bad but it used to be mentioned alot.
discontinued? raised to limited edition status? what?
yeah hehe! i thot that would mean they were light frags if they were in that type.
terre iv never seen in that so i was hoping to exclude it even tho i own it.
i think belami and equipage are...
i mean the ones that come in eau d'orange verte bottles..
i am looking for something very green/ fern-y...
i may have seen that minotaure before. i will look out for it next time. will check out emporio armani. thanks! i do own roadster.

dior homme cologne
gucci ph II
bulgari ph soir
the most elegant gentleman i know wears this. he isn't insanely wealthy but he just does things with such style. this frag tho was what he was wearing when he met his wife. he hasn't changed t since.
i did sense that with so many of them hitting the bins but they're still sold over the counters here.

secondly, is it a good...
how does it compare to other lavenderss? it's listed as a masculine while most of the lavenders i have tried are unisex or feminine. is it really on the masculine side of the fragrance spectrum?
it was in a grey box. didn't see the bottle. more tall than wide. must have been from the current selection.
i'm wondering if it could be fierce. is that discontinued? if so how does it smell? i...

Grass in the streets
Posted in the Coffeyville Forum
#23 Oct 21, 2009
#24 Oct 22, 2009
my daughter witnessed our "favorite" city commissioner's family blowing grass in the streets not long ago, wonder if they were cited.
#25 Oct 22, 2009
Jim Hayes has nothing to do with that department, get a clue!
#27 Oct 22, 2009
check the curbs, see the leaves lets see if they get cleaned by storm water. I bet not, Other cities with this law cleans the leaves, by the way CPD goes with storm water because as of right now storm water does not have the power to write citations
#28 Oct 22, 2009
heres an idea why not gravel in your whole front yard, then you can park in it too and get away with it, and if you are restoring an old car why not put your mailbox on the top of it then it would be concidered fedral property, then you can work on your car in the front yard and nobody has to worry about grass being blown out in the street cuz you dont have to mow.
#29 Oct 22, 2009
Look I agree the city has some rediculous ordinances, such as the parking in the yard and the grass clippings. However, its still the law which means the police dept has to enforce it, its the same as speeding or disorderly conduct. There just doing there job the same as you and me. Now i'm not faulting anyone for getting on here and speaking their opinions but this is not the place to do it, if you have a major issue with this take it the next commission meeting. Express the way you feel there not on a stupid forum. Bitching about that stuff on here does about as much good as wiping before you poop.
#30 Oct 22, 2009
i think if they want our lawns mowed a certain way and we have rules on what we cant do when we mow,,,,
#31 Oct 23, 2009
As a citizen of Coffeyville I will be happy to take note of those who leave their clippings in the streets. You have to understand that if you leave that stuff in the streets it works it's way into small cracks, grows and causeS major cracking in the streets. It's your grass. So, clean it up please. Plus it looks much cleaner. Who wouldn't want that???
#32 Oct 23, 2009
Hi! Clueless people can't get a clue. And they have no respect for the city. Thats sad. Those guy's are out there trying to help keep the streets clean and these people don't care. That sickens me.
#34 Oct 23, 2009
the city needs to respect the people of this city and quit trying to force things upon us just because the people that think they know better want certain things.

Wow!!!! When did "clippings" get the ability to grow? Are they "resurrected"?
#37 Oct 23, 2009
Since you're so highly educated then you should know that grass clippings hoLd seedlings and when blown out by the mower, weed eater or blower they land in the cracks. I think it's called GERMINATION. Hummmmmmmm???!!!!!! LOL! Peace, my friend!!
#39 Oct 23, 2009
POW!!!! how does the truth feel,,,lmao,,,your so right on that comment,, you hit it right on the nose.

The earth MOVES. Don't you get it?? The streets get cracks just like the walls in your house. And the constant weight from vehicles does a number on them as well. Common sense people. Where is it??

Lets all send city hall a ticket for the grass GROWING in the streets and not the grass that has been mowed. I just love going downtown and seeing 6 inch grass growing in cracks.
#46 Oct 24, 2009
I don't get what the big deal is about getting grass in the street. Grass is natural and it's biodegradable, it's not like we're putting chemicals or trash in the street. And I'm not gonna sweep leaves out of the street when they fall off the trees and get blown by the wind back into the street anyway.

The city enacted an ordinace a year or so ago, making it illegal to blow the grass clippings into the street when you mow your lawn...Yet the city still blows them into the street. One of those "do as I say, not as I do" deals.
They were having a slow law making day and needed something to amke them feel relevant.

Charleston City Paper Feature
Greg Payne & The Piedmont Boys 'Scars & Bars' reaching a new fanbase in Europe
"I think we're playing a style of music that isn't necessarily new," he says. "It's more of the Texas-style, '60s and '70s country— Willie and Waylon and all that.. I think that's why we've ventured over to the outlaw style or alt-country and gotten identified with those labels, because we're definitely not like what's on the radio."
Country Perspective gives 'Scars & Bars' 8/10 rating
New Album 'Scars & Bars' rated 8/10 by Country Perspective
"The Piedmont Boys' brand of outlaw country is loud and proud on Scars & Bars. The domineering theme of the entire album is without a doubt honky-tonk life and music, something they're very good at singing about. If you're yearning for a style of the outlaw days, this is an album I definitely recommend checking out. It's the anti-thesis to country radio, something The Piedmont Boys I'm sure will wear with a badge of pride."
New Music Video: Come On Out Tonight
Greg Payne and The Piedmont Boys are back at it again! With a new album in the works, this is the first video single called "Come On Out Tonight". Song written by Corey Hunt. Performed and recorded by Greg Payne and The Piedmont Boys at Master This! Studio. Video produced by Chief Spires at Master This.

The Albert Town Bridge provided a perfect spectator vantage
point above the Clutha River for the fourth day of the annual
New Zealand jet-boat marathon yesterday.
Sixteen boats raced down the river from Lake Wanaka outlet to
Bendigo, in the third leg of the day. The course had to be
shortened from its planned finish at Old Cromwell, because of
choppy water on Lake Dunstan, race organiser Tim Guthrie
Earlier in the day, entrants had completed two legs on the
Matukituki River, upstream from Glendhu Bay to Beech Forest,
then downstream to the West Wanaka Bridge.
The event, which covers 780km on the Clutha, Waiau, Oreti,
Matukituki and Dart Rivers, began on Sunday, at Balclutha,
and finishes today, at Glenorchy. Wednesday was a rest day.
The initial field of 21 starters, drawn from New Zealand,
Canada and the United States, had been whittled down by
mechanical failure or boat damage, Mr Guthrie said.
The leader at the end of competition yesterday was John
Derry, of Blenheim, with an overall time of 4hr 15min 42sec.
He leads by more than 11min from Roger Preston, of Otautau
and Canadian Chad Burns is third, 18sec further back.

Reward To Be Offered For Information Regarding The Murder Of Officer Decker
Authorities investigating last month's shooting death of a Cold Spring police officer plan to announce a reward of up to $100,000 for information in the case. Information on the reward has been posted on the Department of Public Safety's website.
Anyone with information related to this case is asked to contact the Stearns County Sheriff's Office at 1-877-782-5683 or the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension at 1-877-996-6222 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension and the Stearns County Sheriff's Office held a news conference in St. Paul Monday afternoon. A news release says officials are offering the reward in hopes that someone comes forward with information that helps solve the case.
Thirty-one-year-old Tom Decker was fatally shot Nov. 29 as he investigated a report of a possibly suicidal man. Police arrested a 34-year-old suspect an hour later. But he was released five days later after police and prosecutors agreed they didn't have the evidence to support filing charges.
The Minnesota Department of Public Safety says investigators are continuing to follow leads and gather evidence.

Xbox 360 status code 03-57-00[Drive Spindle not spinning]
So I had a drive which I just recently updated to the new dashboard. Now I never really tested it to see whether it ran any games in the first place, but according to my friend, it did.
Now I have the X360USB and the new ck3pro with the voltage protection just-incase you put the power cable in upside down, which is exactly what I did the first time. Now, the drive still gets recognized, but the spindle doesn't spin.
I tried removing the drive motor and WD-40ing it up to see if that would work, but it didn't. Would getting a brand new housing for it work? Or is the PCB somewhat screwed as well?
Edit: I tried using a 59j housing, didn't work :/
Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Xbox 360 status code 03-57-00[Drive Spindle not spinning]
By housing, do you mean drive motor? Just swap your drive's PCB into a working Hitachi chassis (with a working drive motor of course), that should fix the issue.

Re: Xbox 360 status code 03-57-00[Drive Spindle not spinning]
By housing I meant to simply take the PCB out of the original 79fk drive and put it into another working 79fk drive, so simply just a PCB swap.
Also, does it have to be a 79fk? Or can it be another hitachi revision?

Re: Xbox 360 status code 03-57-00[Drive Spindle not spinning]
I think all the drives boards are the same shape/size, just different revisions. Your PCB should fit into any other Hitachi chassis just fine.

Baby 2 is coming Jan. 25 via C-Section, and I'm thinking about switching from Dr. Browns to Playtex Drop-ins.
I gave Emma breastmilk for 8 months, but moved to pumping exclusively after about 4 months. Washing the Dr. Brown bottles SUCKED--- all the parts over the course of the day took too long.
So, I'm curious to hear from any moms who pumped into or used Playtex Drop-in Bottles with formula. Do you recommend??

WASHINGTON (AP) - Michael Jordan received a U.S. flag from Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, beginning a night of honors for Jordan during his final home appearance as an NBA player in a game against New York.
Rumsfeld, who received a loud ovation, presented Jordan with a flag that flew over the Pentagon on the one-year anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks. Jordan cradled the flag in his right hand, his head bowed, before the national anthem was played.
Jordan's introduction during the starting lineups was a letdown, with the cheers not much louder than the ones for Rumsfeld. The MCI Center crowd gave Jordan a standing ovation that lasted a mere 25 seconds, some 312 minutes shorter than the one he received in his final game at Chicago earlier this season.

Bernie Sanders endorsed Hillary Clinton at the Democratic National Convention Monday night, but he also pledged to continue his fight to transform the US.
In his bid for the Republican presidential nomination, Donald Trump has played fast and loose with the complicated laws surrounding campaign finance and staffing practices. Here are just four examples of Trump's "creative accounting."
ROBERT B. REICH, Chancellor's Professor of Public Policy at the University of California at Berkeley, was Secretary of Labor in the Clinton administration. Time Magazine named him one of the ten most effective cabinet secretaries of the last century. He has written thirteen books, including the best sellers "Aftershock" and "The Work of Nations." His latest, "Beyond Outrage," is now out in paperback. He is also a founding editor of the American Prospect magazine and chairman of Common Cause.

I am looking to setup a laptop I use for work as follows. One partition with a Linux install (Backtrack) with tools, normal write, etc. I want to create a second partition with a one-time use setup; i.e., its regular unbuntu or something that I can use for email, youtube, etc that when I kill the power everything is lost. Ideally, I could also boot the onetime use partition in write mode to make changes or upgrades, but in general I want to keep everything isolated. I do not want to use a USB or live disc.
How should I go about this setup, and is there anything else I should consider? Maybe a third partition to save files off when absolutely necessary?
I also want to ensure that the Backtrack partition is encrypted to protect client data. I wouldn't imagine that would cause any issues here, but thought I should ask.
