Usage Instructions
To get the most from this marinade, use at least half the bottle per 500g of meat and marinate overnight in an airtight container. We always have ours with chicken, because we like chicken for some reason, but it goes just as well with any meat, fish or vegetable. When you cook, barbecue or grill, keep brushing the sauce onto the meat. Feeling cheeky? Add this sauce to a stir-fry and let it simmer for some flavour!

WashAndGo 2010

The latest version of WashAndGo, the PC "scrubbing brush" software, enables users to simply and easily clean their PC hard disk, freeing disk space and speeding access to important data.
WashAndGo removes garbage files that fill up the hard disk and do nothing except slow down the PC. Garbage files that can be removed by WashAndGo include temporary files not removed when programmes are closed, old file safety copies which are created automatically by some programmes, 0 byte files with no real content, wrong and confusing Windows Registry entries, duplicate DLL libraries, superfluous and outdated service pack files, wrong Uninstall entries and Internet Explorer, Opera and Firefox browser caches. Together, these unnecessary files can cause a computer to run slower than usual, and take up disk space.
WashAndGo tells its users how much disk space has been freed, so the benefits of running the programme can be seen immediately. A single mouse click starts WashAndGo examining the hard disk. Users then review a list of detected garbage files and authorise WashAndGo to remove them. Users who prefer to be on the safe side can switch on the security option of WashAndGo to enable the recovery, if required, of all removed files for up to 14 days after the clean up.
The program is fast, secure, and reliable. - Let WashAndGo reclaim your wasted disk space!

Isla Fisher
Isla Fisher in AG The Ankle Legging in 11 Years Swap Meet
Isla Fisher covered her face while leaving Barney's after doing some shopping. Isla wore a pair of AG The Ankle Leggings in 11 years Swap Meet with an oversize sweater and boots.
It is hard to tell since she's covering her stomach with a bag but Isla is expecting her third child. I wonder if we'll see her in a pair of maternity jeans during her pregnancy? You can buy AG jeans online from Shopbop.com.
Images from Wenn.com
Isla Fisher in a Denim Jacket
Actress Isla Fisher tried to hide away from the paparazzi while doing some shopping with Kirsten Dunst in Primrose Hill in London, England a few days ago.
Isla wore a bleached out denim jacket with some blue ombre printed pants and sandals. I actually really like this outfit, the blues go nicely together and ombre is still one of my favourites! Buy similar denim jackets online at Shopbop.com.

Isla Fisher in 3×1 High Rise Channel Seam Jeans in Black No. 5
Isla Fisher was spotted out with a friend in West Hollywood, California. The actress wore a pair of 3×1 High Rise Channel Seam Skinny Jeans in Black No.5 with some sneakers and a sweater.
What I find cool about these jeans is that they have that timeless skinny look from a distance, but when you get closer, the details are amazing. They have a panel going down the inseam that gives a great updated feel to the jeans. What do you think of them? You can click here to purchase 3×1 from their website.
Isla Fisher in AG Adriano Goldschmied Skinny Jeans
Isla Fisher and her daughter were seen going out to lunch together in Hollywood. Isla keeps a pretty low profile when it comes to paparazzi, so we usually don't see too many photos of her out and about.
When we do see photos of her, she does tend to have pretty diverse taste when it comes to denim brands, this is only the second time we've spotted her in AG Adriano Goldschmied. I think this cropped pair is flattering on Isla as I think the jeans hit at a great length on her. I like that she chose to pair them with an oxford shoe too. You can buy AG jeans online from Shopbop.com.

Scanning on CM2320 - TWAIN drivers
My CM2320fxi wont scan to my W7 computer. It does scan to my iMac on the same SOHO network. HP cannot help - says they have no TWAIN drivers to suit. Any suggestions?
Re: Scanning on CM2320 - TWAIN drivers
There is a full CM2320 download on hp.com for Windows 7 32 and 64 bit operating systems. This solution supports scanning in WIndows 7. It also supports the scan to button from initiating scans from the device.

Same issue here. I installed the software correctly on my Windows 7 system a couple of months ago. I recently had to reinstall the whole system from scratch, but now, I can't scan anymore. Using the latest install program for Windows 7 from the HP support site: CM2320series-win7-full-solution-AM-EMEA1-v3.
When I try to scan, I get a message that there is no compatible TWAIN driver....
Tried to unistall - reinstall several times, to no avail. And, now, the drivers and software won't unistall anymore!!! Tried several times to uninstall (with a system reboot at each time) but everything stays in place... HELP!

OK, I managed at the end to unistall and reinstall de sowftware and drivers.... A painstaking experience...
But still no scanning. Both the HP scanning utility anf IRISPro complain about no compatible TWAIN driver found... As said, before I reinstalled my system, it did work work correctly. Could it be due to SP1 of Windows 7, which has been installed in the meantime?
BTW, is anybody from HP monitoring these forums?

Re: EDIT: Scanning on CM2320 - TWAIN drivers - HELP! Same issue, can't even uninstall aymore!
I found a fix, If you were like me and had the scanner working at one time, only to have it stop working. Than this may be your answer. I had usb install on Win 7 x86 ( 32 bit ) and scanner just stopped working, after painstakingly trying everything possible....I gave up, next day looked at in the device manager / imaging devices just to see if the scanner was listed there, it was , but it was labeled as " hp scan NULL", i highlighted right clicked / properties and seen there was an option to roll back the driver ...... POOF SCANNER WORKS AGAIN !! its been a long time since this was posted, but I figured it may still help somebody down the road.
Re: Scanning on CM2320 - TWAIN drivers
i installed the full solution driver package for HPcm2320fxi and printer still will not do the scan to a network folder - says no twain driver found

Gary Hayes's curator insight, August 26, 2013 7:59 PM
Quote "Within a decade, contextual computing will be the dominant paradigm in technology. Even office productivity will move to such a model. By combining a task with broad and relevant sets of data about us and the context in which we live, contextual computing will generate relevant options for us, just as our brains do when we hear footsteps on a lonely street today. Then and only then will we have something more intriguing than the narrow visions of wearable computing that continually surface: We'll have wearable intelligence."
Ulrich Weihler's comment, September 8, 2013 4:48 AM
The major advantage of this developments are personal coaching functions.
roberto gilli's curator insight, September 13, 2013 4:42 AM
When mobile and wearable technologies mix with smart places and smart objects we can experience a new kind of dialogue. Every dialogue is contextual. "Contextual Tecnhology" is the framework to understand the design and usage of a world of talking things and objects.

My client wants the default order of products on the admin side of her site to be ordered by SKU.
I know if you click the 'SKU' heading in the table of products you can order by SKU but is it possible to make this change permanent, so the list isn't generated in date order by default but by SKU order?
I'm considering creating a 301 redirect but am unsure if this is a good way to go about it.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Background: I've created a JavaFX application, embedded in a Swing frame using JFXPanel. I've been using Eclipse as an IDE. The "Main application" is another class which only serves to create an instance of a class which extends
JFXPanel to load my .fxml file when it is instantiated. When executing the main class from Eclipse, all is well, the fx:controller specified in my .fxml file has its
initialize() method called (I can tell from changes it makes to the UI on load) and there are no problems.
However, when I package everything into a JAR and try to add my JFXPanel extension class to a Swing
JFrame instance, it manages to load the .fxml file just fine-read images, style sheets, etc, and the rest of the code is functioning as expected however the
initialize() method is never called. I have no problem accessing the class from other classes inside or outside the jar and I've even tried setting up a ControllerFactory that will return an instance of the Controller as well as trying all sorts of combinations of setting the
FXMLLoader's classloader and using both the static and non-static methods of invoking
load(). The result is always the same: it will work when launching from the IDE but does not when launching from my packaged jar. I know the jar isn't missing any files because like I said there is no issue finding the class from the Java code and the bundled fxml/css files seem to be loading fine, minus the controller issue.
Anybody ever encounter this before or have any idea what might be going on with the
FXMLLoader failing to set the Controller? Could this be a bug of some sort?

Joe DeRosa
Joe DeRosa is a busy man. While speaking to City Pages via phone from New York City, he is getting dressed and brushing his teeth as he talks. It's a wonder he has time to do that. After doing a web series for Warner Bros. last year, DeRosa finished an album of serious music with his band, Funeral in the Mirror. "We've got our manager shopping it around," he reports. The band plans to tour this year in support of the album. DeRosa also has a solo project he just finished of serious songs, not comedy numbers. "I'm hoping to do some shows where half of it is me doing comedy, and the other half is music. I just want to get that music out there; I don't want it just sitting on iTunes." On the standup side, he just taped a Comedy Central half-hour special, and is preparing to record a new comedy album in April. His shows here will be among the final runs before it's all committed to ones and zeros in Atlanta. "I'm looking forward to recording that stuff and retiring it, so I can move on to what the next hour is going to be," he says. His material these days deals with, among other things, growing older and fear of death. Inspired by events in his life, the jokes are more social commentary than storytelling. "The audience reactions have been really good." 18+; 21+ later shows.
March 20-22, 7:30 p.m.; Fri., March 22, 9:45 p.m.; Sat., March 23, 9:30 p.m.; March 23-24, 7 p.m., 2013

Dressed To Kill (1941) Starring Basil Rathbone as Sherlock Holmes
Recycled shell shirt
Remember those old style sleeveless blouses that were worn by women up until probably the 80s or 90s that were essentially just a plain old button up cotton blouse, only without sleeves? Cool, comfortable, and not sold anywhere for ages. This is all about recreating those shell blouses by recycling a men's button up shirt.
A few weeks back, while surfing, I ran into a tutorial that recycled a men's shirt to make a tank top. Summer was insufferable about then, and while I didn't have any shirts suitable to recycle for me, I did have a stack that were about the right size to recycle for my daughter.
There is something gleefully destructive about taking a pair of scissors to a men's shirt that hasn't been destroyed somehow. I felt almost guilty as I plunged the shears into the job, whacking away sleeves and collar. In consulting with my daughter, a petite adult, I'd already learned that she preferred something more like a shell top than a tank top, with wider shoulders that would actually cover a bra strap. Because this would also be a casual shirt, one she'd wear for fishing, camping, housework, and errands–she also wasn't interested in a plunging neckline and preferred something a bit more modest.
That meant not doing a great deal of cutting besides just removing the sleeves and collar. Then, it was somewhat wide in the neckline, so a few small pleats, in the center back and on either side in the front, took care of making it smaller there. The sleeves yielded plenty of fabric to cut into facings that matched sleeves and neckline, along with some scrap interfacing to give the very thin poly-cotton blend a bit more body for the facings.
I'd not done any reconstructive surgery like this before. If it looked too crude, she'd never wear it. It was to be a comfortable shirt, but not one that screamed "I am a recycle project!" when she wore it.
We had hemline options too. As a men's shirt, it had the typical shirt tail. Did she want to keep it, modify it, or completely do away with it and make a square bottom? She opted for keeping it, which makes it hip length for her. It also meant fast reconstruction for me. It actually took longer for us to make our decisions about what kind of things we were going to do to it than it did to make the pattern facings, cut them out, iron on the interfacing, and stitch/top stitch the facings into place. It was an easy recycle project.
Okay, so it's not runway material. It's a cool, comfy and slouchy kind of shell in a deep forest green that compliments her eyes perfectly, in a thin poly-cotton blend that has been worn long enough that it's really thin and soft. (It was a vintage shirt that I whacked up.) The only way to get a fabric worn that smooth is to recycle a vintage shirt that has been worn often.
So, for less than $2, even if I went and bought the interfacing and thread, I had a cool summer shirt for her, since I already had the vintage shirt in a donate pile at my house, making its cost zero. I'm not an expert seamstress, so this was within the realm of any brave beginner who has mastered facings or is willing to go into the arena with some bias tape to cover raw edges. Fast & easy plus recycling–my favorite kind of project, and it got even better with its really low cost!
Biting off too much with a sewing project?
Ever bite off more than you should have for a project? How about for a sewing project?
Being disabled isn't something I take happily. I push the envelope as much as I can, but it doesn't always kind of work out the way I hope.
Once upon a time, in that previous life, I could sew about anything that I put my mind to sewing. Sure, I might have to rip out now and again and resew something–doesn't everyone? I only had a few areas where I'd always been afraid to go–like using the blind hem stitch on the sewing machine. I had always hemmed by hand. So I mastered that stitch this year finally.
But I had not tried to sew a pair of pants since my accident. Since I've also gained a lot of weight since then, pants weren't fitting me too well off the rack, so I thought that I'd sew a pair of pants for myself.. Off I went to buy an indie company pattern that I liked. I usually prefer indie sewing patterns, as their designs are fresh and their sewing directions are usually very good.
That was like July. The pattern arrived quickly, I picked up the fabric to make that first test pair of pants, and started on the sewing project.
Now, we're over 2/3 of the way through September. The pants are not done, despite working on them for a bit almost every day. It took over two weeks just to prepare the pattern and cut out the pieces of fabric. I'm not sure how long I've actually been sewing them, but I so want to finish them! I want to take out the heavy needle I'm using for this fabric and put in a "regular" one to work on some fun projects. The pants have ceased being fun. It's now becoming an endurance contest, and I'm in danger of losing!
The fabric is heavy. (I'm using a twill fabric.) I've now got the vast majority of the pieces connected (we're up to doing the zip fly) and everything that has to be done on them is a huge chore just hanging onto the fabric. Plus size jeans and my normal sized sewing machine are having continual arguments. The machine is starting to skip stitches, indicating its time for a trip to the repair shop. Another unanticipated expense!
Since I learned to sew by teaching myself from books, magazines, and patterns, I do very well with written directions. However, Hot Patterns, the company I bought the pattern from, is not strong on clear and concise directions, requiring me to hunt down tutorials (when they do exist) for the various portions of their directions when an unfamiliar technique has been used to assemble things. (Back pockets were a nightmare–I even emailed the company for directions, but got no response.) I finally just made patch pockets the way I was familiar with making them, skipping their ambiguous directions which SEEMED to be telling me to make a welt pocket and top stitching it to LOOK like a patch pocket. (Others who sew know what I mean!) I happen to hate welt pockets because of their tendency to sag–I was stuck with them in uniform pants made for men for years.
For two days, the zipper fly defeated me. I could not make heads or tails out of the directions. Important details were left out–like whether to stitch the zipper to the raw edge or the finished edge of the zipper protector. What edges were I supposed to baste together? Even the diagrams were ambiguous. The pockets had no video tutorial, but they did have a general universal zipper fly assembly tutorial. I think I've figured it out now…
We'll see. I'm going to try and accomplish it today. All ten million pounds of pants and the two pound sewing machine.
Once upon a time, I would have whipped through the finishing tasks on these pants in an afternoon. Heck, I could sew a coat in two evenings! The agony I have gone through the past few weeks as the pieces grew steadily larger (and my work sessions shorter and shorter) is somewhat depressing.
I should be able to do this, is what I tell myself. My husband says I have bit off more than I should have chewed. He might be right, but to quit now…no way. I'll keep plugging at it.
But will I make a second pair?
Don't ask me that now. That's like asking a woman in labor if she wants to have another child after this one is born.
I like to toast my bread and top it with butter and jam.

Wedding attire and marriage
Long, long ago, back when I was much more innocent and in my late teens, the topic of marriage often came up with my peers. We'd outgrown Barbie and her wedding gowns, but…we now imagined our own weddings and what we'd wear.
I said I wanted to get married in overalls and a flannel shirt.
Now my friends would giggle, thinking I was just illustrating my own aversion to dresses and dressing up, but it was really far deeper than that. It was even deeper than my own issues with gender identification. It was actually a very deep and heartfelt comment, not about attire so much as what I wanted from anyone I'd marry.
I wanted to be accepted for who I was, not simply judged as deficient for who I was not. Sure, I didn't want to wear makeup, fuss over my hair, or wear ruffles and lace, but it was so much more than that. I wanted to be able to explore who I was without fears about being judged by the one person that I needed to count on as believing in me.
My spouse.
It wasn't an easy search either, no matter how simple it sounds. I dated a lot of guys who thought I was cute and sexy, then immediately started working on changing who I was and how I dressed and acted. I even tried it, more than once.
They didn't like who I became, and I didn't like who I was pretending to be
Society in general kept trying to shove me into a pigeon hole, one that I was ill fitted to fill, as well as one that was excessively confining. I gradually began to define my own parameters. I certainly was not able to conform, long before I discovered the term "gender non-conformist" as a comfortable label.
My first marriage was a disaster, although it was one that looked quite pretty from the outside, I suppose. I wasn't anything he wanted, apparently. I certainly did not fit his ideal of a woman or a wife. Obviously, that came to an end, with far more drama than I liked as well. Some things are just like that.
I then resumed the dating game, somewhat changed. I was in a whole new phase of my life, and my dating tactics showed it. I even used dating websites, both for research and for actual personal relationships. I learned a whole lot from that too.
Eventually, my best friend and I decided to get engaged. We started that off by living together for several years, telling ourselves that we couldn't afford to get married. One day, we realized that if we waited until we could "afford" marriage, we'd likely both be in nursing homes!
So, we planned a wedding. I had a goal. We were to have a wedding that cost less than $200 and we could still entertain our friends and family. That price tag was for everything: food, wedding cake, marriage license, blood tests, wedding rings, official to officiate, venue, food for guests, and honeymoon.
Nobody thought we could do it, and we almost did it. We had a last minute glitch—the friend, who was an ordained minister, who had been going to officiate, could not actually attend, as her mother became critically ill. With a frantic search for someone at the last minute, we went over our budget—I was not in the mood to negotiate for rates. We got a minister who was nearly perfect, and for that I was grateful enough to not mind that it was the "over $200" portion of the wedding bill.
We had a beach wedding under a pavilion at a fishing pier, complete with restrooms and parking…for free. (Check out the public pier at Waveland, MS in Hancock county—it's the only county that is dog friendly at the beach too!) Our dogs could attend.
We had DIY wedding outfits for our hippy themed wedding. Tie dyed matching t-shirts for us to wear as well as our granddaughter, our micro-sized "flower girl". (She was just over a year old then.) Friends brought chairs and portable tables. My mother cooked the pulled pork for sandwiches with my daughter's help. My daughter made the wedding cake. Friends brought some food, and I even cooked pasta salad and baked beans.
We went camping, to Tishomingo State Park in northern Mississippi for our honeymoon, which was short but very nice. I'd always wanted to visit that state park, and it was drop dead gorgeous despite rainy and cold weather.
And what did that all illustrate?
I married a man who married all of me. Not the pretty part, or the money-making part, or the creative part, or the motherly part…but all of me, good and bad, nice and mean. He accepted me as I was, without feeling a need to work on changing me. He doesn't even gripe (too much, anyhow) about my messiness or aversion to closing cupboard doors while cooking. He married me after my accident that completely redefined what I could or could not do.
Of course, I reciprocate. I know he hates mornings, that he can't braid my hair for me, that he hates my hummus, no matter how I make it. I know he is going to rant about something for the first hour he's up in the morning and that he swears loudly whenever he works on something. I know I'm going to trip over his shoes, as well as that there are certain things I have to nag about to make sure they get done. That's okay. I adore him most of the time and still love him even when he has me madder than a hornet.
That's a good relationship. It's built on mutual respect, seasoned with a dash of admiration for the other's qualities, with a big dollop of humor to deal with their deficiencies.
That's because nobody is perfect. I'll guarantee if you DO see someone as being perfect, either you are looking through rose tinted glasses or something else isn't right, because everyone has weaknesses and flaws. The best we can do is find out whether or not we can accept those flaws with the rest of the package.
Thankfully, we can.
Our wedding attire, while some would claim that we lacked reverence for the vows we were making, was chosen for specific reasons. Neither of us saw any reason to spend an inordinate amount of money on clothing for one single occasion, regardless of where it was held. We also saw no reason, in the light of a struggling economy, to encourage our friends and family to buy dress clothes for an occasion that would not benefit them later. A hippy theme meant that nobody needed to buy anything, although we did buy the t-shirts and dye to do our own matching shirts. I also bought the fabric for my rainbow veil, along with the tie dyed bandanas that completed our head gear.
Neither of us was young, and we had no one to impress. We wanted everyone to have fun and have fun celebrating a very special day with us, as we publicly announced our relationship as permanent. Our commitment to each other had been made long before, and the day was signifying a legal agreement more than our commitment. Laws don't recognize personal commitments, but they do recognize a marriage license.
Greg and I were marrying each other's whole self, including the self that thought of others, of budgets, of costs, and of sharing fun and laughter. That whole self is something that we feel comfortable sharing, both the good and the bad, the fun and the not-very-fun-at-all, along with the whole in sickness and in health. He's been my one man cheering team when I didn't think I could make it through the next hour, let alone my allotted lifetime. He's been there when I released a novel and other books. He's also been there when I have been sick, shaking and crying from the pain. I've been there when he's been sick too, and I was there when he needed to go to the hospital with his heart attack. Sure, we get aggravated with each other. We spend far more time together than most couples, and there are times when we start to rub each other the wrong way. We've learned how to manage that too.
It's not easy sometimes. We've had some times when we really didn't like each other much, but thankfully, we moved past those successfully. We have to work at keeping our relationship healthy, just like all couples do.
I'm glad we do.
But sometimes, I'd be glad if he finally got around to some of the things on the honey-do list, like FINALLY putting that new bed together or fixing that overhang by the back door.
He'd probably be glad if I finally got things put away, and figured out an effective pseudo pantry. Or the Good Housekeeping Fairy showed up–I don't think he is picky about who gets things done. He might be glad if I finally forgot to refer to the time when I came home after an overnight trip and he greeted me with "can you cook me a hamburger?" instead of a kiss and "Glad to see you, I missed you."
He might be glad when I finally quit coming up with wild schemes that make Lucille Ball look like she never came up with insane ideas…even though hers were theatrical and mine are real-life schemes. (I'm just glad that he never does the Desi Arnez mimic thing.)
But it is really great to have been so very wrong about my own life, even while I was very right about some other things about it. I'm glad I get to share each and every day with my best friend. I just wish that everyone was so lucky.
Just don't ever think that our relationship is perfect. It's not. We both came with baggage and issues and quirks and fears and relatives and hopes and dreams and flaws too. We work at gluing it all together all the time, and then, something will come along and throw a wrench in our plans and we get to frantically re-assemble everything with another liberal dose of glue.
I still love him. Best of all, he loves all of me. Even when I'm fat, sick, grumpy, gray, wrinkled, hairy in the wrong places, my feet hurt, and I'm whining about something.
That's pretty cool, don't you think?
Anybody can find fault
Anybody can find fault. Fault doesn't seem to get lost very often, and it usually doesn't really hide that well either. Sooner or later, fault always comes marching out, demanding to be recognized by someone, anyone, guilty or innocent.
But there sure are a lot of people who devote their lives to seeking out something that never was lost to begin with. Why are so many people absolutely thrilled to find those faults and be the first (or even among the hundreds) to point out those faults so that everyone knows that they spotted them and recognized them.
Like get a life, dude. (Or dudette!)
You don't need a degree or any special training or even to be above average in intelligence (or anything else) to find those faults that weren't really hiding. These internet trolls that seem to delight in exposing each and every flaw and then dissecting it with minute attention to detail seriously have some issues. Above all, they remind me of chickens.
I'm not being a smart alec about that. Seriously, they do act like chickens. I realize that most of America has never been intimately acquainted with chickens. For many people, their closest exposure has been at a petting zoo or even just a news clip on television. In reality, there's nothing cute about a flock of chickens, especially if they have decided that they don't like one of their flock mates.
It's horrifying to see what they will do then. They will literally, over a period of time, peck that chicken to death, while also driving it away from food and water and otherwise making their lives as miserable as possible. It isn't all of the chickens in the flock that do this, just a handful out of the group participating in this "troll" behavior is enough to result in the pecked chicken's death.
Hence the expression of "henpecked" that we have often heard used to refer to a husband who is being micromanaged by his wife to an oppressive degree.
Sure, there are lots of theories about why these chickens will do this. Usually, overcrowding and other stress factors will get the behavior started. It can happen in free range chickens, but it's far less common. As a country person would say, "once in a blue moon." In confined and crowded conditions, even when the chickens have the recommended space and ability to go outdoors into the sunshine, it can really get started though. The more stress and crowding, the more the behavior shows up.
Maybe mankind is just like a flock of chickens. We're getting more crowded and stressed, and we're seeing more outbreaks of "troll" behavior. On occasion, this behavior accelerates and becomes violent rather than just verbal (or written) attacks. When this happens, the usual cry is to restrict access to potential weapons.
Gun control isn't going to change the behavior, folks. Chickens commit homicide regularly, and have never figured out how to use firearms. I have a gun and have had guns most of my life, yet I have not committed murder, nor even shot at anyone.
I have worked armed positions in my lifetime. I've also been threatened with a gun on more than one occasion, although not while working. Usually, the threat was by a police officer of some kind. Was the threat warranted? No, I wasn't armed, wasn't threatening the officer, was not committing a crime, and usually had no idea what was going on or why I had a gun in my face. Each time, it turned out to be some kind of mistake, quickly resolved, and I was not handcuffed or arrested.
I must have some caveman DNA floating around and connected to my violent genes. My weapon of choice has always been throwing rocks. I'm pretty good at chucking them too or was before I got hurt. Southern Mississippi, however, is starved for rocks. Our rocks have to be imported from elsewhere. I guess that's why I haven't done any rock chucking in a long time.
But I digress…
This troll behavior is an indicator of a deeper problem or fault in our society, one that we need to address. It's just as real as any tectonic plate's fault on our planet's crust, and indicative of an equally deep flaw in our society. Fault in this sense is a very real concept regarding what is happening today. This fault is an early sign of henpecking that can and eventually will turn homicidal in some individuals. Granted, not all of these individuals will ever become physically violent in person. Many of them may be too intimidated in person to even say "boo!" to a stranger, let alone become verbally confrontational. Even so, they feel that they have the right to do so, often in very unpleasant ways, on the internet.
I'm not sure that the spirit of the right to free speech includes the right to say things just to hurt other people, whether it is merely an emotional hurt or any other kind of hurt, even if it is commentary based on truth. I certainly do not think that condoning troll behavior and allowing them to surf the cyber world in search of fault which they can then use as their war cry as they begin yet another flaming attack on some unwitting soul.
Do I think I would turn homicidal? Not with the current level of stress and crowding, but I know that even I have certain points where I may well rationalize violent behavior if I am honest about myself. Remember, the word stress is just another word for stimuli. Breaking into my house when I am home is going to qualify as a stress. So is attacking a family member. Heck, even attacking my dogs is a stressor! I also tend to get rather confrontational if I feel my home turf (aka house and yard) is being intruded upon, something I came to grips with last year when a neighbor's dog tried to claim our backyard as his personal turf.
We have to find new ways of adapting to living in smaller spaces, to working closely with others, to living closely with them. We have to identify individuals that have reached that magic red line that defines when they are going to become violent, and then come up with appropriate intervention. All of that without causing new stress by stripping away personal freedoms and rights.
It's a tall order, but the end result is worthwhile. It means creating a society that encourages supportive and nurturing behavior rather than glorifying confrontational and violent behavior. It means doing away, worldwide, with the concept of war too. It means creating a worldwide society that encourages growth, on each and every level, as well as celebrating diversity and individualism.
Yeah, I know—it sounds like Utopia.
It really is Utopia, I suppose. It's not impossible though. Gene Roddenberry dreamed of it with his Star Trek world. I'm not the only dreamer. The world just needs a lot more dreamers, a lot more people who are willing to ostracize and discourage those who want to be trolls, and willing to encourage people to be something they all possess the ability to be.
With a heart.
Maybe we need to remind everyone of our mothers' old adage while we're at it.
"If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all."

Remember Al Pacino successfully hid a gun behind a toilet in a restaurant...

Last spring I spent a few days at a hotel where I was unable to carry. Since I brought my revolver along for the drive, I rented a safe deposit box from the hotel. After dropping off bags in the room, I went to the desk, and they escorted me into a smaller room where the safe deposit boxes were. After they left me in that room, I unloaded, holstered, and wrapped up the revolver in a scarf and put it into the box. No rattling or scraping that way. That safe deposit key stayed on my person the entire time I was out of my room. Drawback was, it wasn't accessible while I was in my room. But at least I had it for the trip.
Now I've got a COM safe - I plan to take that next time. I much prefer to have it nearby when I can.
Remember Al Pacino successfully hid a gun behind a toilet in a restaurant...

I've never tried one personally, but I read a post on another forum of a guy whos Pacsafe bag survived a car break in intact.
I ran into a similar problem when I was in El Paso, Texas. I wanted to go across into Mexico but didn't want to leave my 1911 in my motel room. What I did was disassemble it and then hid the parts around the room. I scotch taped the frame under the dresser and the slide under the toilet tank. Probably not the best solution, but it worked.
"First gallant South Carolina nobly made the stand."
Edge of Darkness
I gave a 1911 to a pawn shop once. Got it back just fine, though they were hoping I'd forget. Personally, I'd use a combination of a COM safe and the hotel safe. With my luck my backwoods hotel would be using a composting toilet.

What about securely attaching it to the underside of the bed?

Lot's of good ideas here... just haven't decided which yet... too many choices... too little time...
"Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch; Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote."
-- Benjamin Franklin
OK, I think I am going to lock it in it's travel case, lock that inside my suitcase, and use a cable lock to lock the suitcase to an immovable object in the room.
Someone would have to have a key to the room, go past a "Do Not Disturb" sign, and really want to get into my suitcase. Highly unlikely.
If any of you in the Hudson Valley area want to know the Room Number, you can PM me!

"I'm not fluent in the language of violence, but I know enough to get around in places where it's spoken."
"A lot of phonies in the world who portray themselves as "victims". It takes a great deal of discernment to know they are fake."
I have run into similar situations. I use COM safe in trunk all the time for occasions when I can't carry (Schools,Post Office, etc) I just unhook the cable and use the COM to place gun in hotel safe. COM has become as much part of my carry routine as my holster!

1. Unscrew back of TV. Place inside. Replace screws.
2. Remove Dresser Drawer. Duck Tape to BACK of drawer (after inserting in ziplock or something). Replace Drawer & check for full closure. Most have room.
3. Remove bottom dresser drawer. Duck tape to bottom (inside) of dresser. Replace Drawer. Check for clearance.
4. Remove A/C vent in wall/ceiling. Duck Tape inside of vent. Replace vent.
Need any more suggestions?
If you go with the toilet tank thing, I would suggest buying the "Maritime Spring Cups" if you have a Glock.
"People willing to trade their freedom for temporary security deserve neither and will lose both." Benjamin Franklin
Seriously, these are some good ideas, but they take time to enact.
Also, the Maritime Spring Cups aren't necessary to put the Glock in water, they are only needed to FIRE it underwater. And even then, they only work down to about 3-5 feet.
Any deeper and the gun goes BOOM. In all different directions...
Plus, I don't think they sell them to just anyone because of numbskulls who would run out and try this unnecessarily dangerous "trick" and wind up without a hand or internal hemorrhaging from the underwater overpressure (of a failed attempt ending in an explosion).
That which does not kill us leaves us broken and bleeding...
Dont mess with the guy who can barely stand up. His remaining options for self-defense don't include your survival.
Convenire Volui Spectatus
I agree is is Never a good idea to fire underwater, but I don't think anyone would be having an underwater toilet battle in a hotel
you can find them here
Oh, and what hotels are you staying in that have a flat screen? I always have a 19" tube! (even in vegas)
In any case, this should fit!

Project description
My PhD project focuses on investigating the requirements for a web 2.0 platform able to support communication between authorities and citizens in the disaster recovery phase. Indeed several studies have shown the importance of community engagement in the decision making of the reconstruction process. New media offer an unprecedented opportunity to involve also the most marginalized part of the population into political discussions regarding relevant topics. Nevertheless the full exploitation of the potential of these interactive technologies requires a deep understanding of the dynamics of the digital divide and of the communication that occur between authorities and citizens in the aftermath of a disaster.

I'm a newcomer to blogging. I have been following a course 'become a blogger' which is brilliant.
However, I've come across a hitch, to which I think I have the solution, if only I could access my admin page!
I think that the problem with the plug-in prevents me from doing so.
As you will see above, for the course we are using version 2.6.3 of wordpress. When I installed the 'sociable' plug in I think it was a later version. With this version I was able to go through the stages of activation until the final stage where I select the feeds through which people can subscribe.
Through the course's 'private member forum' it was suggested to go back and install the 2.6.3 version. Which I have done. But now I can't access my admin page to activate and configure it.
Can anyone help?

MOBILE, Ala. (AP) - Auburn University trustee Jack Miller, a
prominent Mobile attorney, has died at age 65.
A statement released by Auburn said he had suffered from cancer
in recent years.
He died Saturday at his home on the Dog River.
Miller, a founding director of Colonial Bank, was active in Democratic Party politics and played a role in the successful gubernatorial campaign of Fob James in 1978.
His law firm - Miller, Hamilton, Snider and Odom - merged last year with the New Orleans firm of Jones Walker.

Lots of times I want to comment and say something smartass but sometimes some concepts are so dumb and come from the minds of such simpletons I am just speechless to comment.
Damn I hate religions.
Ooo! I am afraid I do not understand what is going on so I will just create some fantasy to explain it all away.
Jesus walks on water VS Frodo with a magic ring. Same fucking thing.
The world was created in 7 days. Give me a fucking break.
We all know the world came into existence because Horton heard a who!
An online university is not scary. There are load of religious universities that teach all kinds of bogus crap. It's up to the school districts to ensure that people get hired with the proper credentials.
ME: I have a Master's Degree.
CHORUS: In Science!
What kind of voodoo do you subscribe to? Everyone knows it was a plate of spaghetti.
I think I will just "CREATE" my own masters degree.
You know, since it is so convenient to do.
Umm let's see,..... I have a masters degree in Levitation. Ya I can fly you know and you can't prove I can't and since I have a masters degree in Levitation it must be true.
I am working on my degree in telepathy next. Ok now I know what you are all thinking. That's sooo stupid!
Well, fine I will keep my thoughts to myself from now on or "create my own school of thought.
Maybe I should just work on my beer drinking degree.
Creating degrees is soo much fun!
@1, you HERETIC!!!! BURN HERETIC!! BURN!!!!!!! I damn you to hell for your heretical beliefs!!! BURN AT THE STAKE YOU DEMON1
Oh, and Jesus is all about love.
*Religion is for the mentally challenged or the emotionally immature. Oh, and for the record religon and god was created by the cousins of apesso what did you expect? Infallability?
Chip @2, good thing that properly credentialed are crawling out of the woodwork to compete for teaching jobs.
It should be legal to smack people on the back of the head when they start with this nonsense.
Honestly, I'm delighted. I am ALL FOR having a class that examines (creationism) 'intelligent design' in a skeptical, scientific approach that compares it with evolutionary theories. Bitch deserves that kind of smackdown, and make no mistake, there will be one.
California isn't entirely 'anything goes' in this department. It recently defended the UC system's new(ish) college prerequisite list that had a major impact on how much religion private schools could teach. A rare victory it seems these days.

Students get early access to cultural festival
Published: Saturday, March 19, 2011 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, March 19, 2011 at 12:13 a.m.
THIBODAUX — Nicholls State University's Swamp Stomp Festival began its third year Friday, and K-12 students from local schools got a sneak peak of the south Louisiana food, music and culture before anybody else.
Schedule of events
10:30 to 11:30 a.m. — Free Zydeco Cajun Dance Lessons
11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. — Cypress Stage — Grammy nominee Feufollet
1 to 2:30 p.m. — Tupelo Stage — Foret Tradition
2:30 to 4 p.m. — Cypress Stage — Grammy nominee Cedric Watson and Bijou Creole
4 to 6 p.m. — Tupelo Stage — Ryan Brunet and the Malfecteurs
6 to 8 p.m. — Cypress Stage — Lost Bayou Ramblers
8 to 10 p.m. — Tupelo Stage — Steve Riley and the Mamou Playboys
Sunday, March 20, 2011
10 to 11 a.m. — Free Zydeco Cajun Dance Lessons
11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. — Cypress Stage — Waylon Thibodeaux
12:30 to 2 p.m. — Tupelo Stage — Grammy Award-winning Chubby Carrier and The Bayou Swamp Band
2 to 3:30 p.m. — Cypress Stage — T'Canaille (live recording)
3:30 to 5 p.m. — Tupelo Stage — The Pine Leaf Boys
5 to 7 p.m. — Cypress Stage — Geno Delafose and The French Rockn' Boogie
About 1400 students visited from 11 public and private schools in Terrebonne, Lafourche and St. Mary parishes. After brushing away the crumbs from their sack lunches, hundreds of those students gathered in front of a festival stage for Cajun music by Amanda Shaw and the Cute Guys. The students clapped, sang, danced, jumped up and down, and surrounded the stage with wiggling trains dozens of bodies long.
Gary LaFleur, a biology professor at Nicholls who helped coordinate the event, capitalized on a moment between songs to address the students.
"You are learning something and you didn't even know it," he said. "You are learning about the treasures of the bayou."
That's the name of this pre-Swamp Stomp event: Tresors du Bayou. It's the first time students have been brought early to the festival, an idea LaFleur said was the brainchild of festival co-chairwomen Brenda Haskins and Anke Tonn.
"This new idea of teaching local kids about this is a stroke of genius," LaFleur said, indicating the cultural lessons offered by the array of craftspeople at the festival. "This is what we can do that no other school can do."
A group of St. Bernadette Elementary students eating lunch said they were enjoying what they had seen so far.
"I liked to see the Indian stuff," said Shelby Pugh, a 9-year-old third-grader.
Two classmates, Rebecca Lawrence, also 9, and Reagan Robichaux, 8, said they had learned new things. Rebecca said it was fun to watch an artisan make dragonfly paintings using wood pulp, and Reagan said she learned about Native American crafts.
"They used to make dolls out of dried-up moss," she said.
Carl Parfait is one of the festival's craftsman. He gave presentations to students about shrimping, a trade he has plied for the past four decades. Parfait, 47, and his family are part of a dying tradition: homemade net-making. He showed students the importance of net hanging, or properly weaving the net webbing onto rope.
"They had all kinds of questions," Parfait said of the visiting students. "It was very interesting. I like doing things for the kids."
At another tent, students dodged the occasional sprinkle of water while getting an up-close look at live sea creatures, from common crawfish and crabs to rarer lobsters and horseshoe crabs. That presentation was given by the Barataria-Terrebonne National Estuary Program, or BTNEP, which provided much of the funding for the Tresors du Bayou event.
But to students that day, the main focus was on fun. The St. Bernadette third-graders giggled excitedly as Reagan related a story about being pulled up onstage to dance and play the washboard.
"We had a really good time," Rebecca said.

BART impasse down to work-rules issues
OAKLAND Union workers were threatening to strike at midnight unless San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit agreed to enter arbitration after a marathon negotiating session with management and its two largest unions came to a halt Thursday when both sides couldn't agree on a remaining set of issues.
Roxanne Sanchez, president of Service Employees International Union Local 1021, said BART and its two largest unions have "come extremely close" to agreement on economic, health care and pension issues. But she said the parties remained apart on work-rule issues.
She said the unions suggested taking the remaining issues to arbitration but that management refused. Workers said they would walk off the job at midnight unless BART officials changed their mind, Sanchez said.
BART General Manager Grace Crunican said the rules that the agency wanted to include in the contract were necessary to help managers run the system efficiently and control costs. She urged union leaders to let their members vote on management's offer by Oct. 27.
"We hope to continue to work with the unions, but what's critical at this juncture is that the unions take this offer to a vote," Crunican said.
The impasse came after a marathon negotiating session that ran well into a second day Thursday as both sides worked toward a deal to end the monthslong contract dispute that has left many riders under the repeated threat of a commute-crippling strike.
Talks began in April, three months before the June 30 contract expirations. The unions contended members made $100 million in concessions when they agreed to a deal in 2009, when BART faced a $310 million deficit. And they said they wanted their members to get their share of a $125 million operating surplus produced through increased ridership.
The unions said one work rule that BART wants to change is employees' fixed work schedules. Mark Mosher, a communications consultant with SEIU Local 1021, said some workers work 4-day, 10-hour shifts while others work 5-day, 8-hour shifts. "Some want longer work hours and shorter shifts due to child care," he said. "For some, it's the only way a two-earner family can organize child care, but BART wants to schedule people whenever they want."
