I agree with your letter Colleen. I agree with Esquire and share Hutterite's sarcasism. Remember that what is good for the business man's pocket is good for all of us. Just ask them about their magic formula's of how they are justified for sweetheart deals and special laws to protect them. Try getting a special law for you and me.

If a farm is abusing animals, often they deny it. What is law enforcement to do?
They don't have the resources to always do a proper investigation. People /
organizations who are getting solid evidence of abuse are doing us and the
animals a big favor.
If you are a farmer, and don't want to be caught abusing animals, rather than lobby to ban people taking pictures of your mis-conduct, instead, ensure you are treating your animals properly.
If you are a legislator, please realize that if this law passes, there will be animals who will be abused who otherwise wouldn't be.

McCall Smith will be one of at least three international
authors in Dunedin for the festival, which will bring
visitors into Dunedin and boost the city's economy,
organisers say.
Committee chairwoman Alexandra Bligh said the festival was
timed to be a prelude to the Auckland Writers and Readers
Festival, so international authors could attend both.
Through a partnership with Auckland festival organisers, the
Dunedin committee was able to lure the likes of McCall Smith
and others, Ms Bligh said.
McCall Smith, an emeritus professor of medical law at the
University of Edinburgh, wrote The No 1 Ladies' Detective
Agency series, as well as dozens of other works of
fiction, children's books and academic literature.
Ms Bligh said it was an honour to host McCall Smith and other
high-profile authors, whose identities would be revealed in
coming months.
''To have such an impressive author as an international guest
for our first festival is an incredible honour and a real
coup for the city and the many organisations and businesses
that have supported us,'' she said.
Sponsors of the festival included Creative New Zealand,
Dunedin City Council, Otago Community Trust, Otago University
Press and University Book Shop.
Writers from throughout New Zealand and Otago would also be
involved in the festival's panel discussions, workshops,
readings and book signings from May 8 to 11.
Ms Bligh said she already knew of people travelling to
Dunedin from Australia and the North Island for the festival.
''I think there will be a real demand for the variety of
things we have programmed,'' she said.
''I'm tremendously excited, and I'm convinced festival-goers
will be inspired, captivated and stimulated.''
The festival was developed almost 10 years after Dunedin
writer's festival Wordstruck! ended. Ms Bligh said it was
intertwined with Otago's annual arts festival until about

Pretty much everything I brought. I didn't use the emergency bivy bag or the poncho-tarp, they were basically for backup in the event of rain. All of this fit with plenty of room to spare into my 30L MEC Alpinelite pack, which weighed in at 17.3 pounds with all my food (~2.3 pounds) and about 1.6L of water.
The last 10 miles of road is unpaved and full of large potholes. The crux, though, was this crossing of Scatter Creek.
Tucquala Lake, viewed from the road on the drive in.
Cathedral Rock as seen from Hyas Lake.
Hyas Lake. The camping at the lake looks nice, with big flat tent sites and nice fire circles, but most of the sites didn't have great views or great lake access.
Looking back at Cathedral Rock and Hyas Lake from an open rock outcrop, just before reaching Tuck Lake.
The first good view of Mt. Daniel, from the same spot.
The dark cleft on the side of Mt. Daniel looks fascinating. I wonder what's in there? A beautiful hanging lake sits just on the other side of the ridge above the cleft.
Tuck's pot and Mt. Daniel.
First views of the Robin Lakes.
Mountain goats. These ones didn't seem quite as aggressive as the ones in the Enchantments can be.
By afternoon it was hot in the sun, and there wasn't much shade available above treeline, so I couldn't really blame these guys for just sitting around in the snow.
Looking towards the north (main) summit of Granite Mountain over the upper Robin Lake.
A beautiful little unnamed tarn, with Trico Mountain in the background. Trico gets its name from the fact it sits at the place King, Chelan, and Kittitas counties meet. There is good camping here.
The lower two granite mountain potholes.
The summit of Trico.
A good use trail leads to the summit of Trico.
Looking along the ridge towards Granite Mountain (both the north and south summits are visible) from the summit of Trico Mountain.
Mt. Daniel and Mt. Hinman.
Mac Peak from the summit of Trico Mountain.
On the north peak of Granite Mountain.
Another small tarn, this one located in the small saddle between the north and south summits of Granite.
A short cliff with a small waterfall provide shade and water for a beautiful little garden of ferns and moss.
Underwater bubbles clinging to submerged moss.
Surface tension in action.
The north peak of Granite looks much more impressive from this angle.
The summit register on the south peak had just been replaced, unfortunately --- getting to read all the old entries can be a lot of fun. (The north peak is the main summit, but it is probably too popular to warrant a register).
On the south summit.
How could I pass up camping in this area, given such a nice natural recliner and beautiful view? A sandy flat spot not far away offered a good bivy site, and a nearby snowfield provided a small stream.
My new stove setup (a Ti-Tri ULC from Trail Designs fitted to a 700mL titanium mug), with an esbit tab ready to go.
Clouds creeping in from the coast besiege Baring Mountain.
This mountain goat wandered by while I was cooking my dinner.
Holding up my water bladder to fill my cup. I used my Sawyer 0.1 micron inline filter. It's a great piece of gear: lighter, faster, and easier to use than a standard pump filter, and perfect for solo travel.
A beautiful sunset.
Glacier Peak sunrise from my bivy site.
I woke up around 6am, in time to see a sunrise just as beautiful as sunset the night before.
My bivy site.
The air was much more clear than the night before, and more low clouds had rolled in. Here Mt. Baker is visible to the north.
The first morning light reaches Mt. Daniel.
Apparently, it got below freezing. Fortunately, I filled my water bladder in the evening before going to sleep. The ample stream flowing from the nearby snowfield had all but disappeared by morning.
Hot cocoa and instant coffee, one of my backcountry standbys.
Looking back towards Granite Mountain and my bivy site from the good use trail on the ridge east of the Robin Lakes. My camp was on the skyline on the long shoulder to the right of the (false) summit of Granite, just left of the last group of trees before the slope steepens down.
Robin Lakes, with Mt. Daniel, Mt. Hinman (just visible behind and right of Mt. Daniel), and Lynch Peak.
Mt. Rainier.
The edge of the largest of the Robin Lakes.
Tuck Lake. The unmaintained trail to Robin Lake runs up the ridge on the right side of the picture.
A small island in Tuck Lake.

No Excuses." performances, which will feature a cast from Central Michigan University's (CMU) No Zebras.

Every part is performed by members of the nationally recognized group Sexual Aggression Peer Advocates, and each topic is supplemented by current statistical information.

Nothing more dangerous on earth than a girl with a fresh copy of PHP for Dummies and an entire weekend ahead of her, eh?
My question is, even though there are themes in 1.5, they don't allow the site's visitor to change the style at whim. Is there any reason that some of the PHP techniques already in use in, e.g., domesticat's technique (http://www.domesticat.net/skins/tutorial/the_index2.php) can't work with WP? Just wondering. Before, since the style switcher plugin was always available, it never was an issue. Now, I'm wondering if there aren't other ways to accomplish this.
Forgive me if this is a stupid question; as I said before, I know just enough PHP to be dangerous!

Points you get for spending on credit cards have nothing to do with credit scoring. They are simply reward points that might let you get merchandise, a statement credit, a gift card, etc.
700 reward points would be worth different amounts and useable for redeeming on different things depending on the credit card issuer, but will likely be worth about $7 or less.
You DO have to make regular payments on a secured card. The money you put up front is just a security to ensure that if you fail to make payments, the company won't get totally screwed. By showing you can make payments on a secured card, you build your credit history.

Issued at 504 AM CDT Thu Jul 28 2016 Updated the morning pops with latest HRRR run to better focus on the showers across west central into south central North Dakota. Also upped the rainfall as MMRS shows potential half inch to one inch rain in portions of Morton and Mercer counties with these showers. && .SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight) Issued at 301 AM CDT Thu Jul 28 2016 The short term period will see a weak h700-h500 trough slide across the forecast area impacting mainly west central through south central North Dakota with showers and scattered thunderstorms this morning through early evening. Removed the mention of fog this morning as cloud cover more widespread owing to the re-development of showers and thunderstorms west and south of the Missouri river this morning. NAM bufkit soundings show very limited shear and cape all of the area except the far west today. With that in mind the best chance for thunderstorms will be limited to the southwest. HRRR shows the surface trough migrating to the west during the day resulting in surface convergence drifting west also by this afternoon. By tonight the upper features move southeast and expect pops to diminish and end. Another pleasantly cool day for July is expected Thursday with highs mainly in the low to mid 70s. .LONG TERM...(Friday through Wednesday) Issued at 301 AM CDT Thu Jul 28 2016 During this period, an upper level low now circulating over the Gulf of Alaska will make a path into southern British Columbia Sunday, before curving northeast and moving into central/northern Saskatchewan Monday through Wednesday of next week. In doing so, the upper level wind flow will transition from northwest to quasi zonal by Saturday. Generally dry Friday and Saturday with a couple of weak shortwaves within the flow, but not producing much if any precipitation during this period. Southwest flow aloft along with increasing low level moisture advection commences Saturday night through Sunday which during this time, will result in increased chances for showers and thunderstorms, especially Sunday into Sunday night. This is when a surface cold front is forecast to shift through with increasing instability. The pattern remains active next week, with another system slated Tuesday night through Wednesday night. Temperatures will warm through Sunday ahead of the advancing upper low and surface cold front with highs in the 80s Saturday, then upper 80s to lower 90s Sunday. Behind the cold front next week, expect highs in the upper 70s to mid 80s. && .AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Thursday night) Issued at 301 AM CDT Thu Jul 28 2016 Aviation concerns focused around low vfr to mvfr cigs/vsbys.

Italian Stocks: Buzzi, Mediaset, Pirelli, STMicroelectronics
Italy's FTSE MIB Index declined 20.09, or 0.1 percent, to 20,562.63, ending the longest winning streak in more than three months, in Milan.
The following stocks were among the most active on the Italian market today.
Assicurazioni Generali SpA (G IM) gained 20 cents, or 1.3 percent, to 15.48 euros. "Insurance stocks were among those that suffered the most from the drop in equity markets and are now getting up to speed after the recovery of the last few days," said Davide Manenti, a fund manager at Nuovi Investimenti in Milan. Fondiara-Sai SpA (FSA IM) gained 7 cents, or 0.8 percent, to 8.61 euros.
Buzzi Unicem SpA (BZU IM), Italy's second-biggest cement maker, followed construction shares lower in Europe, falling 27.5 cents, or 3 percent, to 8.85 euros, ending a five-session gain.
FastWeb SpA (FWB IM) dropped 34 cents, or 2.5 percent, to 13.13 euros, ending a five-session gain. UBS AG cut its price estimate on the provider of Internet-based television and video- on-demand to 15 euros from 19.5 euros. The brokerage kept a "neutral" rating.
Mediaset SpA (MS IM) retreated 13 cents, or 2.6 percent, to 4.98 euros, the first loss this week. Italy's biggest private television broadcaster lost a court challenge to a European Union decision forcing it to repay millions in subsidies for the purchase of digital-broadcast decoders. "Implications for Mediaset are very limited," Cheuvreux said in a note. The brokerage kept the stock on its "selected list."
Pirelli & C. SpA (PC IM), Europe's third-largest tiremaker, retreated 0.95 cents, or 1.9 percent, to 48.1 cents, a second day of losses. Automobile stocks were the worst performers in Europe today. "European new car sales for May provided evidence of difficult momentum," Manenti said.
STMicroelectronics NV (STM IM), Europe's largest chipmaker, dropped 24.5 cents, or 3.4 percent, to 6.96 euros, the steepest decline in more than three weeks. Nokia Oyj cut the second-quarter outlook for its devices and services unit. Nokia is STMicro's main client.

Aberdeen manager Craig Brown has absolved Scotland Under-21s coach Billy Stark of any blame over Ryan Jack's injury.
The youngster suffered a broken foot while on international duty with the young Scots, who were competing in the Marbella Cup in Spain. Jack is expected to be sidelined until the end of January but Brown says the Dons were simply unfortunate and refused to point the finger of blame.
"I've got to commend Billy Stark who was straight on the phone to me full of apologies," he said. "I told him it was certainly not his fault."
He added: "I was assistant manager of the Scotland team when Ally McCoist broke his leg in Portugal.
"That was a major blow to the player and the club and this is a blow to the player and the club as well.
"The difference was, that was a competitive game and this was a friendly fixture.
"But you can't do without friendlies when trying to prepare the under-21 national team. So it's absolutely no fault whatsoever of Billy Stark and his under-21 fixtures - we were just unlucky."
Other than Jack, Brown expects to name a similar squad to the one who defeated Kilmarnock in their last outing, when they travel to Dundee United in the Clydesdale Bank Premier League.
United head into Saturday's clash at Tannadice second bottom of the table but the Dons boss does not expect victory to be handed to his side on a plate.
Brown said: "We should have confidence but we've got to keep a lid on it and not just think, because we won a couple of games, we can just turn up and the points will be secured - far from it, especially at Tannadice."

All Rise...
Appellate Judge Tom Becker would love to talk, but he's in the middle of a meltdown.
The Charge
It rotted their bodies. It corrupted their minds. And that's the good news.
Opening Statement
"What's going on?"
Facts of the Case
Trouble in Tromaville—the local nuclear plant is again leaking toxic waste. Since the plant is just puking distance from the high school, this doesn't bode well for the teens of Tromaville. When smart geek Dewy drinks some contaminated water, he turns into a frothing monster.
The nuke nonsense isn't bad news for the stoners, however. The school's gang of freaks, the Cretins, has discovered that pot grown on the grounds of the plant offers an extra kick, meaning they can charge up to $20 for a single joint—an extravagance in 1986 dollars. The Cretins used to be members of the National Honor Society, but mysteriously, have mutated into bizarre-looking, semi-deformed rebels.
Will Tromaville and its progeny survive the careless doings at the nuclear plant? Will nice kids Warren (Gilbert Brenton) and Chrissy (Janelle Brady) survive their first sexual experience, courtesy of some radiated reefer? And what's that tentacled thing hanging out in the school's boiler room?
The Evidence
After years of putting out sub-Z fare like Stuck on You! and Waitress!, team Troma finally hit pay dirt with a bona fide cult classic in 1984—The Toxic Avenger. Two years later, Class of Nuke 'Em High became the second significant Troma hit, helping pave the way for future Troma "classics" like Sgt. Kabukiman N.Y.P.D., Tromeo and Juliet, and Poultrygeist.
Nuke'Em High is a silly, gross, disjointed little movie that, like most Troma epics, works best if you check your intellect at the door. Almost self-consciously bad, it's ready-made for midnight showings on the college circuit, a handy digestif after an evening of beer bongs and shooters.
According to Troma founder (and co-writer, co-director, and co-everything else here) Lloyd Kaufman, he was inspired to make Nuke 'Em High after reading about the Shoreham nuclear plant debacle—a plant built 60 miles out of Manhattan that was ultimately decommissioned in the wake of the Three Mile Island and Chernobyl incidents. The notion of making a nuclear-based horror movie was hardly original, and the poisonous sludge that that propels much of the film could just as easily have been the chemical sludge that set things in motion in The Toxic Avenger.
But this is a Troma film, and to consider it as a political film is like citing Jerry Lewis' Hardly Working as a scathing commentary on the late '70s economy. Class of Nuke 'Em High can't even rightfully be called a horror movie—it's really a gross-out comedy with a sci-fi theme. Things—and people—ooze, bubble, and foam; characters transform into monstrous mutants and back again; a few actresses go momentarily topless; and there are more scenes of vomiting than you'd find at a middle-schooler's sleepover. It's silly, low comedy with little style and moderate invention, but possesses that no-frills, home-made Troma charm, and if you're a fan of such, then you'll have a good time here.
This is the "Unrated Director's Cut," and a DVD version was released in 1997. This new release is a Blu-ray, but I'm not sure if what's here really constitutes an upgrade.
I sometimes wonder about the wisdom of releasing a cheaply made film like this on Blu-ray, since the format tends to point out the flaws in the production. Of course, cheesy production values are part of the Troma Experience, so the marginal quality of this disc might actually be a plus for fans. It's reasonably bright, and the colors look good, but all the scratches, nicks, softness, and grain are magnified. Audio is thin and occasionally muffled, drowned out by the ever-present score, and subtitles would have been a nice addition. This would be a subpar presentation for a standard DVD, and it really doesn't work well at all as an entry into the higher-end Blu format.
The disc features two sets of extras. There are Special Features, which are specific to the film, and I believe were ported over from the DVD release: lost scenes; a short featurette about the nuclear plant model; an interview with Robert and Jennifer Prichard, who appeared in this film and The Toxic Avenger (where they met); the trailer; and the main bonus, a commentary by Kaufman, which is quite entertaining. We also get "Tromatic Extras," which are either delightfully wacky or tediously tacky, depending on your taste and tolerance. These consist of mainly brief bits, like a topless "Tromette" and some faux public service announcements, as well as a meandering, shot-on-video piece with Kaufman that looks like it was taken from a Public Access Cable program in the '80s.
Closing Statement
If you think Troma films are edgy, off-beat fun, you'll likely want to scoop this one up. If you already own the earlier release, I don't know that this version brings anything new to the table. As far as Blu-rays go, this disc, like the film itself, is pretty bottom-basement.
The Verdict
I'd love to sentence the good folks at Troma to a little hard labor—like, maybe laboring a bit to create better Blu-ray releases with up-to-date supplements and some technical work to justify them.
Give us your feedback!
Did we give Class Of Nuke 'Em High (Blu-ray) a fair trial? yes / no
What's "fair"? Whether positive or negative, our reviews should be unbiased, informative, and critique the material on its own merits.

This is my first China Glaze polish. I love love love this color. A perfect candy apple red. It looks so pretty on both fingers and toes. The only problem is that it seems to chip much faster than my usual OPI. Even with a protective topcoat, I got chips on day 5. I can usually go 2 weeks with OPI. That being said, I love this color so much that I would buy it all over again.

This is currently my HG red polish. Salsa is a bright, fire engine red polish with a cream finish -- no shimmer or glitter here. I'm a big fan of China Glaze polishes, but this one in particular is a real winner for me. I never go without a top coat, but this polish has an amazing shine on its own, so you could very easily skip a top coat with this if you're willing to get chipping a little sooner. With a top coat, this lasts 5 days before minor tip wear occurs, and I usually go a week before chipping starts. I have much more expensive polishes that don't last nearly that long on my nails. This is pretty much opaque in one coat, but I always apply two anyway. This color isn't too dark or too light, it's just a true red that is perfect to wear for any season. I think this shade is super classic and elegant. I haven't purchased another red polish since I found this shade, and I probably won't unless some other really amazing red comes out. Love it!

I received this nail polish in a Luxe box subscription and I'm so glad they included this polish in my box. I agree with other reviewers that this polish is a nice candy apple red shade. It looks great on my lightly tanned skin. I only needed one coat for it to be opaque. I look forward to purchasing more China Glaze polishes in the future.

When I want a red manicure, this is the polish I go to. It is difficult to find the perfect red that is actually red because there are so many types of reds. This formula required 2 coats to be fully opaque and does not have any sparkles inside. Perfect cream polish!

I love this color! Though I disagree with everyone saying it's a candy apple red. It's more of tomatoey red.. It's great on toes.
Nice formula- easy to apply, doesn't chip much.

I have a new fridge in which there is, apparently, some LEDs emitting UVs. I read on the internet that it kills bacteria and helps the food last longer. Does this really work? And what about the claim that it somehow preserves vitamins?
migrated from diy.stackexchange.com May 14 '14 at 12:59
This question came from our site for contractors and serious DIYers.
It's for sterilizations -- for years they've sold "UV pens" for hikers to sterilize water, and kits with UV lamps to keep fish tanks clean.
Of course, it won't help if items are in opaque containers, tightly packed, wrapped in foil, etc ... so you'll likely need to start using clear containers for it to be beneficial ... and even then, it'll only help the outside of the food, and the shelves and walls of the fridge, not the inner portions of the food being stored.
UV light also causes clear plastics to degrade over time. They'll become less transparent (typically taking on a yellow/brown hue), and become more brittle. ... so it could also cause you to need to replace your storage containers much more often.
I have no knowledge of UV affects on vitamins.
Whether UV might help a food last longer depends on what the food is.
Fats (like shortening or ghee), and most spices should be protected from light. The UV in sunlight is part of what turns fats rancid, and helps dried herbs and spices loose their flavor.
You will never achieve a truly sterile environment at home. Bacteria and molds are everywhere, in the air, on every surface. In any case, any reduction in pathogens due to the UV is strictly a surface treatment, and the food will be quickly recolonized from the environment.
I recommend practicing good sanitation (such as not cutting vegetables on a board just used for raw chicken) in general, and not worrying about a gimmick such as a UV light.
I cannot speak to the stability of vitamins under UV.
UV light will destroy bacteria etc. On direct contact only
They are used in commercial food storage to self clean all the surfaces of the food storage system and containers placed within it
Food should be in light proof containers if the UV light is very strong, or there will be some surface degradation
For a domestic fridge, this is most likely a marketing gimmick, though it may help reduce odors etc. if the owner doesn't clean the fridge very well or often?
Yes, the UV light will make your fruit and vegetables last longer. Really it depends on the wavelength of UV. 275nm is used for killing bacteria and will burn your retinas, 385nm is less harsh to the skin or eyes and will still kill bacteria to a degree.
I just read a study in which they used 285nm in a controlled refrigerator setting against a static test with no UV on strawberries and how long they would stay fresh. The UV irradiated strawberries lasted 9 days without growing mold. The non uv, started growing mold all over them by 9 days. They tested the nutritional content of each and the UV treated had a higher content of nutrition then the non uv.

2010 Toyota RAV4 SUV Sport 4dr SUV (2.5L 4cyl 4A)
After wanting to downsize from my minivan with the additional goal of improved gas mileage, I initially test drove a pre-owned Ford Focus and it was ok but quite compact especially the second row leg room. I happened upon the RAV4 in the same lot. I really liked how spacious the leg room was in the second row and I really liked the back storage. I am 5'2" so the cargo door is a plus because I had to be on my toes with the van hatchback.The full sized spare tire is also a plus; I read some neg reviews about its location but I think it's much easier access. My combined gas mileage is 25.4 M-F due to hwy commuting; on the weekend which is more in town it's 25.1. Overall a good value.
Second row seating leg room
Back cargo space
MPG (25.4 week day; 25.1 weekend)
Drives relatively smooth (in No. Central TX)
Arm rests - too short on rt/console side
Doors - generally ok but do sound like a tin can when you close (like other reviewer noted)
Cup holders - placement a bit awkward
Stereo - average
Check engine light issue, will be covered by warranty.Excellent ride and handling for the SPORT model !Does exactly what it says it will !!Handles corners well, hugs the road and toes not tilt in the curves.
Needs body side moulding as standard, and rear deck cover.
Hitch and lights hookup.
After all it is a SPORT model.
Better quality in the fuel and vapor canister systems, cause ENGINE Light.
Code P2401 which locks it in 4WD, anti-slip mode and uses more fuel.
Don't buy unless you want to feel every bump on the road - The sports model with Flat-Free tire has a very noticeable bumpy ride. At this it is very annoying, with the vehicle wobbling, driver shaking like he has convulsions. Works well on a smooth and even road, which is not realistic to expect. This ride quality does even come close to 10-year old Camry and 4-year old Sienna.
Does not matter about any features, the bad and bumpy rides over-shadows any good features.
Sports model ride suspension with Flat- Free tires needs to be fixed. In fact, I would say Toyota should discontinue making this model. Bad design and disgrace to Toyota's quality and reputation.
Hi, I am very disappointed with the bumpy ride for my sports model with the flat- free tires. I am not sure if it is the tires or the suspension. Very annoying! Very annoying! Feels like I am sitting on some vibrator when going over normal road bumps. It needs a perfectly smooth road to provide a smooth experience - Just not possible.
Space, Ergo, Smooth Steering
Must definitely fix the bumpy ride issue for Sports Sports package to have leather interior options and rear view camera/Hands free phone as basic
It's ok. Just ok. Just enough power. Quite disappointing mileage. Cheap feel to everything, especially closing doors. Sounds like tin can. Wish we'd looked longer. I'd be depressed if this were my car, it's my wife's and she doesn't notice. Whew. Dealership staff were great to deal with however.
Sound attenuation. Materials.

Hello. Two-part question here about wrangling a large amount of job applications in the Job Manager back end.
Archiving: My client would like to keep old applications around for a while as they sometimes like to notify an applicant that a suitable position has finally opened up.
I'm wondering if anybody is archiving their applications. I see there is CSV export, just wondering if that is suitable and if people are able to successfully work with the results.
Application list pagination: The second issue is somewhat related. They have a long list of applications, and web browser performance is suffering. Is there an easy way to paginate the page of applications in the back end?
I just put in two feature requests to the developer, Gary P, but thought I'd ask the list at large as well.
Thanks much

Geolocation permission request fires twice on native builds fo iOS
in my app I use Ext.Map component, so at the first start of app on IPhone user will get a request for using location permissions. As expected this question should be asked a single time only, but it happened twice.
The first time question is "App would like to use your current location"..
and the second time something like "/var/mobile/Applications/246JF70D-4BB7-736G-870D0VHE1T/app.app/app/index.html would like to use your location"
What happened? Why this occurs?

Company: French Films
Distribution Companies: Visual Images
Cast: Brando, Dan (II), Pierre (I), Phillipe, Florent, Chris (II), Cynthia (I), Tony (II)
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: Gay and Bi
Shot in France, this vid's reasonably clean, as it's set in a spa. Two youths in a tub suck while one anally swallows a didlo; a waiter serves champagne as an older guy gets massaged and then fucked; a mixed-race guy and a younger guy use up a lot of rubbing oil. Reasonably hot sex for the foreskin set.

Candy Chang's 'Before I Die...' comes to Milwaukee
There is something about a death that can be focusing. For New Orleans artist Candy Chang, the loss of a dear friend, initially lead to a long period of grief and depression that eventually turned to gratitude and clarity.
She wanted to know what was important, to her and to those in her around her. So the artist, known for her placemaking projects and urban planning ideas, painted the side of an abandoned building with chalkboard paint and stenciled the words, "Before I die I want to..." onto it. »Read Full Blog Post(1)

Stuyvesant High School
MANHATTAN NY 10282 Map
Stuyvesant High School

What's special:
The downside:
Our review:
The most sought-after of the city's selective schools, Stuyvesant High School has an amazingly talented student body and an array of course offerings that rival those of a small college. It has a sparkling, 10-story building with views of the New York harbor and features such amenities as a regulation-size swimming pool. Stuyvesant has long been known as a math-science school, but its English and social studies departments are among the school's strongest.
More than 28,000 students vie for 935 seats in the freshman class. Roughly one-quarter of Stuyvesant's top graduates go to Ivy League or other highly selective colleges such as MIT (Massachussetts Institute of Technology). Students may conduct research with senior scientists, take part in national math competitions or study music at a high level. Immigrants and children of immigrants make up a large proportion of the student body.
The excitement of being enrolled at Stuyvesant comes from being in the company of very bright, engaged students. The school has long been known for its talented students rather than a uniformly strong teaching staff, and kids say the quality of teaching ranges from memorably great to mediocre or worse. The stronger teachers tend to be assigned to the more advanced classes, one mother said. The course selection is vast, including organic chemistry, neurobiology, multivariate and differential calculus, New York City history, video-editing and creative nonfiction. The school gives more Advanced Placement exams than any other school in the city.
Stuyvesant has a reputation as an ultra-competitive pressure cooker. Principal Jie Zhang, a former Stuy parent and specialized high schools network leader who took over after a 2012 cheating scandal, hopes that her increased focus on social-emotional well-being will take some pressure off. Part of the effort to shift the school culture towards a more positive, relaxed atmosphere includes freshmen transition meetings taught by guidance counselors, new guidance offices that are more central and inviting, and more flexibility around the computer science and drafting requirements for all students.
Still, Stuyvesant is a hard place for a "B" student. Most elective and AP courses require a minimum GPA to qualify, though each student has an opportunity to take at least one AP in his or her best subject. Students who fall behind on the three to five hours of homework each night admit that "it's hard to catch up," especially when juggling the typically heavy load of extracurriculars. There are tutoring opportunities available and teachers who are generous with their time outside of class, but it can be hard for struggling students to get the attention they need. The school works best for kids who are self-starters, self-confident and not afraid to seek out help from adults and other students.
Some classes are taught as seminars, with desks arranged in a circle and plenty of class discussion. But most are traditional, with desks in rows and the teacher at the front doing most of the talking. Science labs are shared by multiple teachers of the same subject, so teachers have no flexibility to divert from the scripted lab notebooks that students fill out like worksheets. This allows for little scientific inquiry by the students, except the 50 or so who qualify to conduct new research with professionals or college faculty as part of the Intel competition each year. English and social studies offer much greater flexibility for teachers and students to pursue their own interests while still covering core themes and skills.
There are five bands, a jazz combo, a symphony orchestra, many theatrical productions and a strong debate team. There are dozens of sports offered, including rollerblading, cricket, coed wrestling and kickboxing. After-school clubs serve students' interests ranging from Chinese chess to film appreciation.
SPECIAL EDUCATION: In recent years, the school has become more sensitive to students with special needs. At the time of our visit, there was one student who was visually impaired and a number with ADHD. "Now we realize that kids who are very, very strong academically may have learning differences and it is our job to support them," said longtime parent coordinator and now guidance counselor Harvey Blumm. The administration has assigned a guidance counselor to focus on special education, and a psychologist and a social worker are available for counseling.
COLLEGE ADMISSIONS: The school has 12 full-time guidance counselors and three full-time college counselors. Top students are accepted by the Ivy League as well as by highly competitive universities such as the University of Chicago and small liberal arts colleges such as Swarthmore, Haverford, Kenyon and Macalester.
ADMISSIONS: Students are selected according to their score on the SHSAT (specialized high school admissions test). The school offers open houses for prospective students and their parents in the fall. Check the Stuyvesant website for the dates or for a virtual tour. (Nicole Mader, December 2014)

Gloucester's Morrisons supermarket construction under way
- 26 November 2012
- From the section Gloucestershire
Construction work has begun on a £34m scheme to develop a site in Gloucester that has lain derelict for 30 years.
The Morrisons supermarket, on the 18-acre site near the railway station, got the go-ahead by Gloucester City Council in December last year.
Plans for the railway triangle site also include new offices, shops, restaurants and a pub.
The supermarket is expected to be ready to open by early autumn next year.
Over the years, various schemes have been considered for redeveloping the site, such as plans for a snow dome, an ice rink and a new stadium for Gloucester Rugby, but all have failed.
The first phase of work costing about £8m will see the new supermarket and access road built, which will provide the infrastructure for the rest of the park.

Today, since I've been paying attention to my newborn, my pet cockatoo learned to cry like the baby on the middle of the night. I haven't gotten more than four hours of sleep. FML

Today, my vet prescribed Xanax for my very anxious dog, because he keeps me awake all night whining and pacing. He slept soundly for about an hour, then woke up, threw up all over my carpet, and went right back to whining and pacing. FML

Today, my dad posted on Facebook, apologizing to anyone he'd texted the night before. He said he'd gotten wasted and didn't mean anything he said. So much for that first ever "I'm proud of you" then. FML

Today, my 17 year old daughter told me she was going to bake a cake. When she finished she offered me one and it was crunchy. I asked her why and she said the recipe said to put eggs in. She put them in whole. FML

Today, I finally treated myself and bought my first moisturizer. The woman at Sephora promised it would "retexturize my face." If by "retexturize" she meant, "make it feel like a rubber balloon," then she was right on the money. FML

Today, after interviewing for a promotion to a position that was created with me in mind, I eagerly accepted a call from my boss, expecting good news. Turns out, they found a better applicant, who they don't believe will need support from the position I currently hold, so it's being eliminated. FML

Today, during class, a girl had suggested how I, a 16 year-old guy, would be a high maintenance girlfriend. We sat and debated this, allowing for other people to listen in and agree with her, and eventually the entire class agreed with her. Even the teacher. FML

Today, I took a bus to the city. When I sat down, my hand accidentally slapped again the knee of the guy sitting next to me. I apologized. He responded, "It's just a knee," and started stroking mine. This lasted the entire ride. FML

Today, I sent an email to my teacher asking if a source was a primary source, he replied yes. I got my grade back for my essay and it was worse than I expected. My teacher said it was because I didn't use a primary source. I showed him the email, to which he replied, "Well, I was wrong in the email." FML

Today, I was playing Badminton in P.E, and I was paired with a particularly pretty girl, who for some reason kept asking stupid questions that we both knew the answers to. I've only now just realized that she was trying to initiate conversation with me. This is why I have no friends. FML
