Installing Activiti
This article by, Dr. Zakir Laliwala and Irshad Mansuri, the authors of Activiti 5.x Business Process Management Beginner's Guide, explains how to install Solr. The business process is important for any organization, but managing it is of equal importance. Business requirements frequently change for an organization. To change, manage, and understand the current business process is very hard without Business Process Management (BPM), where the execution of each system depends on the business process. For developers, implementing a business process without following any standards leads to complexity. To explain a business process to a non-technical person without any graphics leads to misunderstanding. In such situations, Activiti comes to the rescue, as it is one of the best BPM frameworks for implementing business processes in your organization. Activiti provides a platform to create a business process on a canvas, build it, and execute it on the fly. It is open source, written in Java, and distributed under the Apache V2 license.
To implement a business process using Activiti, you first have to understand the skeleton of Activiti BPM. In this article, we will show you how to download and install Activiti.
In this article, we will cover the following topics:
- Overview of Activiti BPM
- Downloading Activiti BPM
- Installing the Activiti framework
- Building your first business process
By the end of this article, you will be able to install and access the Activiti framework and implement your own business process.
So, let's take a tour of Activiti, set it up, and implement a business process.Read Installing Activiti in full

Consuming Web Services using Microsoft Dynamics AX
In this article, created by Klaas Deforche and Kenny Saelen, the authors of the book Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2 Services, we will see how to consume a web service from Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012.
In the previous versions of Microsoft Dynamics AX, you could add a web service reference in a reference node in the AOT. This generated proxy classes and other artifacts that you could then use to consume the service. In Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012, we no longer have the option to add service references to the AOT. Instead, Microsoft Visual Studio is used to generate all artifacts, which are then added to the AOT.
How this works and how this can be done will all become clear in this article.
The following topics will be covered in this article:
- Installing the Visual Studio Tools: We have to install additional components because part of the development takes place in Visual Studio 2010. You will learn which components to install and what exactly they do.
- Visual Studio development: After introducing the demo service, we will create a reference for the services with the help of Visual Studio. We will take you through this process step-by-step.
- X++ development: Finally, we will demonstrate how we can use the Visual Studio project to consume services in Microsoft Dynamics AX. You will also gain an insight into the different deployment modes that are available to deploy the project's output.

What's "Cross-Bitting?" HyperDuck Interview on Sound Tips for Indie Devs, Dust: An Elysian Tail OST Preview Included
HyperDuck SoundWorks' Chris Geehan and I had more a conversation than an interview. Being both Irishmen, we met at a "virtual" bar (details) and discussed things over several rounds of Guinness. In order to enjoy and recreate the surrounding ambience, Chris has provided a HyperDuck jukebox. Yes, the bar only played HyperDuck music. But your ears will agree; these maestros are more like melodious mallards than mere ducks. Start the virtual jukebox below:
Dan Byrne-McCullough is Chris's partner in crime. They have contributed some prolific tunes to XNA Dream.Build.Play 2009 grand prize winner Dust: An Elysian Tail and 2010 first prize winner A.R.E.S. Their awesome tracks are also heard on the trailers for Secret Base's Bitejacker, starring 2011 IGF host Anthony Carboni.
With that being just part of HyperDuck's hyper resume, it may have seemed unnecessary, but I began our conversation by raising my pint for the team's recent submission to the Behemoth for BattleBlock Theatre and by toasting Dan, who regrettably couldn't find the bar. May XBLA gamers be so lucky to hear HyperDuck on their home consoles!
So, are you working on Dust and some other projects?
(Chris of) HyperDuck: We've pretty much finished every single other project deadline now. Up until Dust's deadline, we're 100% Dust.
Any Dust details?
HyperDuck: We're rearranging all the older music we did in the new style, along with the entire reworking of the Dust audio engine, designing the sound effects and creating the foley for Dust and the creatures. The old style had a heavy YsIII / YsIV influence. The newer style is a lot more "real" sounding in terms of instrumentation and has a cinematic quality throughout it. I think when the music comes out, we will release the old and new versions of the songs so that people can hear the transformation that occurred.
Was Iji your humble beginning?
HyperDuck: Pretty much. Dan Remar and I were both massive fans of Machinae Supremacy, who are a band who mixed SID Chip sounds with their rock/metal music. From that forum we became friends, and he said he was making a game at some point and asked me if I could do the music. Later I got the call, realised I needed to begin working, grabbed my partner Dan and said, "Let's make some music." We pretty much learned how to record stuff by doing Iji, which is pretty apparent in the quality of the sound in the soundtrack.
Not at all, but it sounds like you wanted and got help along the way. Indie devs do the same thing. What resources are there to help music devs?
HyperDuck: Good question. There's plenty of stuff and good communities that I have been and continue to be a part of, some quite small ones. There is an IRC channel where myself, Anosou (Cobalt), DannyB (Super Meat Boy), Josh Whelchel (The Spirit Engine 2), c418 (Daniel Rosenfeld of Minecraft) & disasterpeace (Rich Vreeland of Rescue: The Beagles) meet and share tips, feedback, and generally support each other.
There is OverClocked Remix, a fine place for people wanting to learn about remixing, interpreting music, and knowing good places to buy music equipment. There is Audio G.A.N.G., which has a subscription of £30 a year, but it's really worth the money. The people there got my business head screwed on tight. They gave a lot of tips and tutorials that can help any aspiring musician looking to do sound design or music composition in media.
(As we moved onto another round of Guinness, I became more astute, noticing a new logo for HyperDuck.)
So, what's up with the name change?
HyperDuck: We kept getting a lot of people assuming that we only do music, which is what we founded the idea to team up on, back before we came up with HyperDuck "Music Studios." But we do a lot of sound design work these days, too. We're pretty dedicated to both, so I think "SoundWorks" is a good umbrella term to cover all aspects of the audio work we do. We won't be changing again.
Let's role play (kinky). I am an indie developer; how would I find you if I didn't know you existed? What sources are out there to easily connect indie devs with sound devs?
HyperDuck: I'd probably find you. Most of the developers after Iji/Katakijin we sourced out ourselves, though most of it was from TIGsource or at least Zero Gear was. I think pushing yourself out there as much as possible without becoming obnoxious is important to get ahead, but I found something very special at TIGsource and the Audio G.A.N.G.: a community is very important and should not be disrespected as such. I joined TIGsource because I saw like-minded folk there who shared the same passion for games, and I wanted to help combine what I was good (well crap at that stage) at with what they were good at and make some awesome experiences in video games.
Mod DB and Indie DB also have great resources for indie developers, as well. I think making contact with a developer and showing the best aspects of yourself is mega important. For every single person we have worked with, I still chat with, and I've never had a bad moment in any project we've done. They're all so nice.
Any other tips for game devs?
HyperDuck: One tip is to always make sure the people you are working with have a demo reel or some example of their music in any form. I know if I were a game dev, I wouldn't take on people if I'd never heard their work before, even if they have been in a game. But to be honest, you will always find somebody who is looking to fill their portfolio up who has either done very little work in games, or has none and is looking to freshly start.
(Being the rude socialite that most people are at bars, I checked my Twitter account. People were all achirp about the heinousness of muting the audio while gaming. Chris quacked back.)
HyperDuck: I think that music can be muted in games, but you're missing out on a deliberate part of the experience that game has to offer. As for music not being essential, well that's a matter of opinion. And quite simply, my own opinion disagrees with it. I am happy to continue my life and career adoring video game music, as many of us are and will do, so it doesn't bother me.
When do you become involved with the overall game process? I imagine great sounds are never an afterthought.
HyperDuck: I'd say there are more projects where we walk in early on in the development, and through talking with the developers, seeing screens, and playing demos, we begin to craft what we think is in their head for the game. So by pulling together drafts, we get feedback from the developers saying that they are finding designing certain parts of the game much easier since they have the music for it. That's about as close as we get to the development process of the game. Aside from doing sound design, we're mostly in the cogs.
The music isn't an afterthought. I don't think I've ever encountered that in any project we've worked on. It can be, and it's noticeable when the game and sounds do not gel.
So, what makes a game "easier" to write music for?
HyperDuck: "Clear vision" is the key phrase. In this line of work, you quickly learn that it's ok for the game developers to not 100% know what they want for the game, and if they do have an idea, it's not always easy to project it across. We're not all musically mouthed, so that can be a hell of a challenge. But a clear vision can be attained between the developer and us if they can show us what influences them. Most of the time, unless they say "go for it; I trust you guys," they show us what makes them, and usually their game, tick.
Tick how?
HyperDuck: Seeing visuals, videos, music and sound design from other games and media– it all helps a lot in making something that the developer will eventually love, and something that feels right within the game. They will sometimes link to other game soundtracks, and suggest games to try out for the sound design techniques used. That's really useful and actually is like a new lesson to be learned each time we do it.
For example, if a guy gives us a shout and wants a soundtrack with the style of Battletoads, we'll go back and look at the game, then he'll say, "Oh, but I want it with reggae style instrumentation, and a hint of rock too," getting the sound for that will become a lesson, a test of our musicianship essentially. By the end of it, we've learned how to do something fresh. It's also really rewarding and refreshing. I like being kept my toes like that.
Do you find it weird that no one has done any "cross-bitting," a phrase I think I just coined for having an 8-bit game design with 16-bit sound or something like that?
HyperDuck: I've done some personal experiments with 8-bit and 16-bit stuff, and tried mixing elements of it together, but I see no reason not to merge the elements from both together, so many other hybrid sounds have came together from doing so with genres, why not this too!
To your knowledge, have games done this?
HyperDuck: Not to my knowledge, but I wouldn't say I have searched hard enough to find it.
So, what haven't you been asked before that you think you should be asked?
HyperDuck: Hmm, Nobody ever questions if we're actually ducks or not.
Why would anyone? Sitting across from me was obviously something of avian origin. As we parted ways, I divulged details about my Irish ancestry, that my mother's maiden name was Duffy.
HyperDuck: A good strong Irish surname, lovely! I'm not sure if you know, but Duffy means "Descendant of the Dark One."
That explained so much about my childhood.
Thanks for the enlightening discussion, HyperDuck. Sample more of Dan's and Chris's audio euphoria here.

NU is a tier packed with Water-types that you might consider for a spot on your team, but none of them share the combination of power and unpredictability that Samurott has. With great mixed attacking stats, Samurott can run physical, special, and mixed sets to great effect. Samurott also has great bulk for an offensive Pokemon, allowing it to take a few hits while dishing out many in return. Perhaps the only real drawback to Samurott is its middling Speed stat, but even this is patched up by its access to priority and the ability to outspeed most of the common walls that it can beat.
With this set, Samurott plays the role of a boosting sweeper, taking advantage of its good bulk to set up. This set compensates for its lack of Speed with its great Attack stat, its boosting move, and access to priority. Swords Dance is the reason for a physical set; after a single boost, Samurott hits a threatening 656 Attack, meaning that even some of the bulkiest walls in the tier struggle to tank its attacks. Razor Shell is a reliable physical STAB for Samurott to utilize with a 50% chance of lowering the foe's Defense, though Waterfall is a viable alternative with 5 more Base Power and accuracy and a chance to flinch the opponent. One of the main reasons to use Razor Shell is that Waterfall's flinch chance is less exploitable with a low Speed stat. Aqua Jet is used on the set for a strong STAB priority attack, which allows Samurott to beat many of the faster Pokemon that could otherwise revenge kill it with ease. Finally, Megahorn is used on this set as Samurott's strongest coverage move, and it allows Samurott to hit Tangela and Musharna, two of the tier's most common physical walls, for super effective damage.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
This set takes advantage of Samurott's great Special Attack stat and access to great support moves to let it serve as a powerful wallbreaker. As this set defeats most of the checks and counters to the Swords Dance set, it also serves as a great lure; one poor switch from the opponent can leave them without a physical wall for the remainder of the match. Hydro Pump is used on this set as Samurott's most powerful STAB move. Ice Beam has great coverage alongside Hydro Pump, hitting Grass-types, as well as the occasional Dragon-type, for super effective damage. Hidden Power Grass is used in the third slot for reliable coverage against Water-types. The last slot depends on what your team would prefer. Megahorn, even with a Modest nature, OHKOes Jynx 100% of the time, while taking down Ludicolo after Stealth Rock damage. Taunt, however, can be used to allow Samurott to function as an anti-lead and a means of keeping entry hazards off your side of the field. It also helps Samurott take down bulky walls that rely on hitting it with a status-inducing move in order to help defeat it.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
While these sets are certainly Samurott's easiest ways to succeed in the tier, there are some other options that it can use. A set with Substitute and Salac Berry can sweep opponent's teams through boosting its Speed and taking advantage of Torrent; however, with the tier as offensive as it is, Samurott won't get many opportunities to set up. A Choice Scarf set is an interesting option to consider, but Samurott loses out on a way of boosting its offensive capabilities and is often too slow to utilize the item. Return can be used on the Swords Dance set, but Megahorn's greater power and super effective coverage against Tangela and Musharna make it the preferred option. Superpower can also be used on either set, but its Attack and Defense drops are undesirable, especially as Samurott functions well enough without it. Knock Off is an interesting option for Samurott, but because the move's targets are usually bulky walls and Samurott can defeat many of them, it is often better off without it. X-Scissor can be used over Megahorn if you prefer accuracy over power, though the loss of power is too detrimental. Finally, Samurott can use Toxic to help it beat opposing walls, but Samurott already has other means of accomplishing this.
Checks and Counters
The first thing to do when trying to check an opposing Samurott is figure out which set it is running. This alone is what makes Samurott so difficult to handle; even if you use Protect to scout out what move it's going to use, you always run the risk of it using Swords Dance. Despite this, bulky Water-types handle either set decently well. Mantine is a good check, as it either resists or is immune to every move on the Swords Dance set, and the special set typically prefers to use Hidden Power Grass. Alomomola and Shelgon both handle the Swords Dance set well; the former can Toxic Samurott and then stall it out with Wish and Protect, while the latter can take a hit and Roar away its boosts. Bulky Vileplume also handles the Swords Dance set fairly well, surviving even a +2 Megahorn then striking back with Giga Drain. Regice, Lapras, and Articuno all fare well against the special set, but they do struggle a bit because of their Stealth Rock weakness. Lickilicky and Audino can switch into any hit from the special set and then stall out Life Orb recoil while they use Wish and Protect. You can try to wall Samurott's moves, but the better way to defeat it is through revenge killing it. Jynx and Ludicolo both excel in revenge killing it, thanks to taking either no damage or minimal damage from Water-type attacks, but both of them must be wary of switching into a Megahorn if they are unable to KO. In general, faster Water-types, such as Simipour and Floatzel, do well in revenge killing either set, as they can outspeed it and typically avoid being KOed by Aqua Jet.
Shell Armor is an interesting ability for Samurott, as it allows Samurott to set up without fear of critical hits. Despite avoiding hax, it is not as useful as Torrent because it does not help offensively. The Swords Dance set loves Torrent because it allows Samurott to go out with a bang, making it nearly unstoppable offensively when low on health. The special attacker needs Torrent just as much, as without it, the set is just not as threatening. Although Shell Armor might appeal to the more conservative player, it is just not as useful as Torrent on Samurott.

Sarah's own experience with stress took her on a journey to find the right balance of inner and outer beauty.
In 2003, she became critically ill as a result of chronic stress. When she heard her doctor say, "If you don't learn to manage your stress, you won't live to see forty," it was a huge wake up call for Sarah.
She was forced to re-evaluate her lifestyle, taking a three-month leave of absence from work to heal physically and emotionally from the effects of job-related, chronic stress.
As part of her healing process she traveled to Iceland, where she discovered a natural oasis of pure, unspoiled waters, air, and plants – the epitome of a calm, clean, low stress environment. She was struck not only by the peaceful and pristine environment, but how Icelanders experience incredible longevity and vibrant, healthy skin. It was there that she drew inspiration for what would later become skyn Iceland.

Mobile Identity
Consumers, corporations and governments are undertaking an increasing range of activities online and via mobile devices, creating a growing need to authenticate the identity of individuals and organisations. However, many existing authentication solutions are unsecure or inconvenient, and threats to data security and privacy are continuing to grow.
It is estimated that the global number of identity theft victims since 2005 is more than 500 million, with an associated cost to businesses worldwide of more than US$200 billion.
With their differentiated assets such as the SIM card, and strong registration, authentication, and fraud detection and mitigation processes, mobile operators have the ability to provide sufficient authentication to enable consumers, businesses and governments to interact in a private, trusted and secure environment and enable access to services.
But mobile operators need to move quickly and collectively to seize the current opportunity. Countrywide launches of interoperable solutions are critical to offer scale to third parties looking to use mobile operators as the provider of identification services.
The GSMA's Mobile Identity programme is a global initiative that supports mobile operators to launch and scale robust, interoperable mobile identity services through alignment behind industry frameworks, understanding customer wants and needs, prioritisation of service providers and other third parties, and development of required ecosystems.

I finally got the Grohe 1/2" Compression Cartridges (Part # 07-147-000) removed which was installed in 1984 - after 30 years. My original plumber never informed me that I needed to replace the compression cartridges. I only found out when I left it unused for a month and then barely a trickle of water came out of the shower head.
My current plumber could not get it removed and told me to replace the entire Grohe shower handles unit with another brand.
But I love my Grohe shower handle fixtures (the water pressure is so good) so why spend the additional money to replace it.
Since the plumber could not turn the compression metal cartridges -- This is what I did to get the compression cartridges to turn!!
First I put CLR calicum remover (or use any good brand) with a rag and soaked the rag with the CLR solution on it. Then I wraped the rag around the old compression cartridges and then putting a heavy plastic bag over the rag to keep the solution onto the old compression cartridges. Then I put a rubber band wrapped around the lock bag to keep the CLR soluation onto the old compression metal cartridges. I then kept this on for 1 month with the CLR solution on the old compression cartridge; Making sure that the CLR solution was not dripping onto the shower tiled floor by putting a towel under it. It will drip onto the shower walls so you have to watch it so that the CLR solution does not stain your walls.
Then I used SiliKroil (which is only bought on-line) which an Airline Mechanic told me when I was a flight attendent -- which is a Kroil's high solvency penetrating oils first penetrate to one-millionth inch spaces to break the bond of rust (but mine was calcium build-up) and to provide lubrication at the first molecular level. This frees the frozen metal part. The dimethyl silicones then provide extra long-lasting lubrication and rust protection. You can also buy the original Kroil which does not have silicone so that it does not affect your seals.
I sprayed SiliKroil it on and waited two days, while constantly spraying the SiliKroil penetrating oil onto the old compression metal cartridges. Make sure that it does not stain your shower floor or walls by wiping it off immediately.
Then on the third day, the old compression cartridges finally turned and I could remove the old cartridges off!! It took time to turn the cartridges and you just have to be patient and carefully not to rush turning the cartridges so that they don't break off. Then it was easy to hand turn the new compression cartridges into the handles -- remember your particular compression cartridge there may be a left cartridge turn and a right cartridge turn!

FOOTBALL: Taunton Saturday league round-up
8:00pm Monday 2nd December 2013 in Sport
SECOND division Dulverton won 2-1 at first division Staplegrove reserves 2-1 to move through to the third round of the League Knockout Cup.
Dulverton took an early lead with a clever flick from Josh Hopkins with his back to goal. Grove had a strong shout for a penalty for a foul on Adam Smith but the referee gave an indirect for a high foot instead. With 25 minutes to go Dulverton broke quickly out of their own half and good interplay resulted in Storm Arnold giving his side a 2-0 lead. Grove threw everything they had at Town to get back into the game and on 80 minutes were awarded a penalty when Jordan Lukins was brought down on the edge of the box.
Smith's blasted shot was palmed back to him and the Grove man made no mistake at the second attempt. Grove pressed hard for the elusive equaliser in the last few minutes of the game but Dulverton held out.
An all Division One clash saw Locomotives beat Alcombe Rovers 3-1 on a heavy pitch. Ryan Vickery scored two for Locos with James Weaver heading the third. Luke Howells grabbed the Rovers goal.
Rowbarton Charity Cup First Round MINEHEAD reserves upset league form against fellow Division Two side Stogursey with a comprehensive 4-1 victory. Craig Carr gave Minehead a 1-0 half-time lead before the tie was settled by further goals from Lee Todd, Brian Hall and Ben Robinson.
Division One Veteran Highbridge striker Wayne Hand scored twice for his side to give them a 2-0 victory over Hamilton Hawks and move them up to third.
Middlezoy Rovers Reserves recorded a 3-0 victory against their high flying opponents Sampford Blues.
Porlock had a 4-1 home win over Bishops Lydeard, Adam Langdon scored twice, Luke Freeman and Brandon Walsh once each, Jordan Clapp replied for Lydeard.
Division Two Leaders Appletree Tone Youth were five points clear of opponents Blagdon Hill at the start of the day but Blagdon had three games in hand so this contest was really important to both clubs. In the event an entertaining match finished 3-3. Appletree took an early lead through Matt Blee but find themselves 2-1 down by half time following a couple well-worked breakaway goals Pat Sherwood.
Appletree, who played most the first half with only ten men, predictable looked stronger when they were finally up to full strength. They deservedly took a 3-2 lead thanks to Matt Blee's second and an own goal before a contentious penalty saw Benjamin Graddon level the scores.
Steve Cottey netted Wyvern Rangers in their 1-1 draw at Nether Stowey.
Hamilton Athletic lost 5-2 to Westonzoyland, their goals coming from Ben Lewis and Tom Wadham.
Division Three Wyvern Rangers Guns stay third despite losing 4-3 at home to Alcombe Rovers Reserves. Harry Hall scored a hat trick with Lewis Ahmet getting the fourth to earn Alcombe side all three points. Rob Watts got two for Guns and Tyler Smith the other.
Sydenham Rangers closed the gap on Wyvern but only by a point as they only managed a 3-3 draw at home to Galmington Dragons.
Galmington trailed 1-0 at the break before taking a 3-1 lead with goals from Chris and Oliver Tucker scoring as did Tim Bottomley. Rangers pulled one back and then rallied to snatch a point despite having a man sent off.
Milverton Rangers drew 2-2 with Bridgwater Sports reserves, Lloyd Udall getting both their goals.
Division Four Leaders Tone Youth and second placed Sampford Blues Reserves weren't playing and that gave third-placed Dulverton Town reserves the chance to close the gap which they did with a 4-2 home win over Williton. Martin Edworthy hit a hat-trick for the home side and Connor O'Neil scored the fourth. Charlie McKeown and Dan Godfrey replied for the away side.
Norton Fitzwarren beat North Petherton reserves 5-1 with Scott Mervin grabbing the first three North goals. Right back Jason Earl lobbed the keeper with a cheeky flick then Liam Bleeks rounded off the scoring from the penalty spot.
Porlock travelled to West Somerset rivals Exmoor Rangers and secured a 3-1 victory thanks to two goals from Dave Farmer and one from Sean Kenny. Ben Gregory replied for Rangers.
Division Five Leaders Ash Rangers recorded their tenth straigh victory with a 7-0 defeat of Norton Fitzwarren Reserves. Both Lewis Scutt and Ben Bartlett got a brace while Harvey Puddy, Rhys Allen and Senna Clapp added a goal each. Wiveliscombe stayed in touch with 3-1 victory over East Bower. Lloyd Cuthbert and Edd French both scored while Bower provided their third with an own goal.
Staplegrove Colts have now made it nine games on the bounce without a defeat, their latest performance a 4-0 victory over Morganians reserves.
Ian Bishop used his pace to give Grove the lead and later confidently dispatched two penalties. Colts's other scorer was centre back Simon Ware who rifled home a bullet header from a corner. Creech Cougars beat Hamilton Athletic Foxes 7-0. Chris Sealy scored a hat-trick with other goals coming from Aaron and Jordan Cozens, Carl Reed and Rob Boyland. A sluggish midfield display cost Galmington Dragons reserves dear as they lost 2-0 at home to Bridgwater Grasshoppers.
A lucky cross from the left found the back of the net for the first and the second squeezed through the keeper's legs and trickled agonisingly over the line.

The Placer County Board of Supervisors saved the Foresthill Public Utility District about $25,000 Tuesday by resolving a deadlock over who should fill a vacancy on the district's board of directors.
Supervisors voted unanimously to appoint Bret Finning, an associate planner with the city of Rocklin and 20-year Foresthill resident, to fill the vacant seat on the district board. He served on the Foresthill Forum from 1993 to 1997 and was a member of the Foresthill Divide Community Plan Team from 1995 to 2003.
Supervisors agreed all three candidates are well qualified for the position. The other two applicants were Duane Frink, a former member of the Foresthill PUD board whose resume includes 37 years with the California Department of Transportation; and John W. Northup, a certified public accountant who has an accounting business in Foresthill.
"They all have incredible, relevant experience and backgrounds that they would bring to this board," said 5th District Supervisor Jennifer Montgomery, Foresthill's representative on the Board of Supervisors.
Montgomery and her board colleagues encouraged Frink and Northup to stay active in district affairs and suggested the district board may want to set up an advisory body to take advantage of the expertise of community members such as a Frink and Northup and give them a regular voice on district issues.
The vacancy on the district board was created in March when one of its five members resigned. A vacancy normally would be filled by a vote of the district board's remaining members, but that approach did not work in the case at hand because none of the three applicants had majority support from the remaining four board members.
On May 19, the district formally asked the Board of Supervisors to break the deadlock.
State law provides for the Board of Supervisors to appoint someone to fill a vacancy on a special district board if the district does not do so within 60 days. If supervisors did not fill the vacancy by June 22, the district would have been required to call a special election.
Assistant County Clerk Gloria Coutts told the Board of Supervisors a special election would cost the district about $25,000. "So, it is a significant issue to the district," she said.
Coutts noted the district is scheduled to hold a separate special election June 21 on a rate-related initiative, but an election to fill the vacant board seat could not be consolidated with that upcoming election.
Created in 1950, the district operates Foresthill's water system. Its service area covers approximately 13,000 acres and has a population of about 5,200 people.

Battle Center Discussion #7 - Unusual and Underrated Movesets
Hey guys, and welcome to the seventh instalment of the BCD - the Battle Center's weekly discussion thread for different aspects of the Metagame. New topics will generally be posted whenever the last one dies down, ranging from Pokemon, to moves, abilities, strategies and more. At the end of the week, the old thread will be unstickied, but people are still free to post in it, and a new one will take its place. If you have any suggestions for future discussion topics, post in the thread or PM a Battle Center Moderator.
This week's discussion topic, courtesy of @Takaki ; is underrated and unusual, but still effective, movesets. They can be in any tier, any playstyle, or any Pokemon.
A very annoying Froslass I once battled really caught me off-gaurd. Swagger and Psych Up combined with Snow Cloak hax allowed it to set up and really hurt my team with Ice Shard, Return, hitting myself in confusion and hail damage. Now, obviously it does get walled quite easily and it relies completely on hax, but it was still a very interesting thing to face.

I loved this so much that I had to buy the product right after my sample ran out. The coverage is nice, however, I still need to use cover up before application for some of my darker blemishes. I also love that SPF rating. So necessary with my fair skin. One area of improvement would be that it makes my skin a bit shiny, so I like to use an oil sheet or some powder after application.
This BB cream goes on like liquid foundation and the coverage is amazing! The best part is it lasts all day with next to no re-coverage. I would recommend this this to any one who likes good coverage but is not a fan of heavy foundations.
I started to use Dr. Jart+ after receiving a sample of it from Birchbox. It blends perfectly. Thank you, Birchbox.
I have been using this product for several years now, since the BB craze began and I am completely faithful to this product. I have used different BB brands, and this one is always my number 1. I constantly get compliments on my skin. It makes me beauty routine easy to have one product that does all.
A BB cream and so much more. I LOVE the texture of this stuff, the coverage is amazing without being heavy. The texture IS thick coming out of the tube and going on but it smooths in to skin with ease and does not feel heavy on the skin at all! I am 44 and this does not settle into fine lines or small wrinkles! Use sparingly - a little goes a long way! My tube has lasted for over 6 months now and I still have a lot left. I use this instead of any other foundation and sometimes - if it is a hot balmy day I will use some mineral power - a light dusting - over it - just in case but really this is all a person needs.
I do not feel there is a better BB cream or foundation out there!
I have never been one to use face make up (other than powder) but after getting a sample of dr. jart BB cream, I had to have the full size. It makes my skin look so flawless and covers any sort of discoloration, while remaining light and moisturizing.
I got this BB cream as a Birchbox sample over the summer and hated it. It made me look ashy... kind of like a corpse.
However, I kept the sample and gave it another try when my regular tinted moisturizer was just not cutting in the dead of the winter. The BB balm was perfect -- it provided great coverage and matched my skin tone really well.
Conclusion: the product really runs on the light side and is just much better suited for the winter season, when I am at my fairest.
AMAZING coverage and with my incredibly sensitive skin, I am in LOVE!! no rashes or reactions!! light coverage and no need to put powder on over it! definitely buying :)
This is a great product! It protects my skin and leaves a nice glow. If I want just a little more coverage, I dab a little foundation over it. Great for everyday use.
I can't express enough how much I love this product. For the first time in 33 years I get compliments on my skin and have no acne. Its magical. If I could hug the scientists who came up with this solution I would in a heart beat.

Pizza at Skyline Catering
While at my daughter's softball practice, Ernie Wunsch, the owner of Skyline Catering right here in Cudahy and a softball coach, was talking about a new pizza they were making. It was a Buffalo Chicken and Gorgonzola pizza.
We decided to try his homemade pizzas on Friday night. We had the Buffalo Chicken and the Meat Lovers pizzas. Both pizzas get a huge thumbs up. In my opinion, I would say that these pizzas would be some of the best in Cudahy, if not the area. The ingredients were fresh and could tell that time was put into making each pizza. The pizzas are made in Skyline's kitchen and frozen on site.
Eliminating the R Word
I don't know how many of you realized it, but in the last couple of weeks, The Knights of Columbus have been out for the annual Tootsie Roll Drive for people with Intellectual Disabilities. If you have seen them, I hope you noticed that the Knight's have removed the word "retarded" (the R word) from their vests. When I told the man thank you for removing the word, he said you're welcome, but there was still work to do. For those of us who have a child or friend with a developmental disability, this is a huge step in eliminating the R word.
Ending the R word has now become a major focus of many groups. Whenever I hear somebody use the R word, I think to myself that this individual needs to either learn what the word truly means or they need to learn to expand their vocabulary. Here is link to one group: http://therword.org/. Google "eliminate the R word" and see how many choices you have.
Future Dreams
Somebody mentioned to me that it was pretty neat that I would teach my son to drive even though he will probably never get his license. I then had a conversation with the person and explained that I have hopes for Tyler. The same hopes as I have for my other 2 kids. Tyler needs an education to get a job. Tyler needs life skills to move out on his own. He is entitlted to his independence.
We believe in looking at people for thier ability and not their disability. What they can do as opposed to whay they cannot do. Every person has strengths and weaknesses. This is how it should be in everyday life. We need to believe in each other to accomplish our goals.
Memories of Mom for Mother's Day
I only had my mom around for about 25 years. I get a lot of questions from my kids as to what my mom was like. As I have gotten older, I have realized how much my mom truly meant to me. Spencer is the one who asks the most questions about the end and while it is hard sometimes to explain cancer to an 8 year old. I almost feel as if I grew closer to my mom in the last few months of her life then I actually did the last 6 or 7 years. Probably because there was more quality time spent together, just the two of us.
My dad did remarry and Sue is great. She really takes interest in what is going on in our lives. My kids truly love her as a grandmother.
Mother's Day Greetings from her Kids
Baseball Season CSFLBA
Tonight starts the beginning of the Cudahy St Francis Little Baseball Association season. Games begin at 5:30 at both Ladish and Pulaski Parks. Both boys and girls action will be available at each park.
Please come out and supoort are area youth. They have all worked hard this preseason and they are anxious to begin real games.
Last Grade School IEP
This week, we begin to get ready for our final grade school, IEP (Individualized Education Program). My wife and I feel that this is probably going to be our most important one to date. The reason being is that Tyler will transition to the middle school after the next school year. Last spring, we made a number of adjustments to Tyler's IEP Goals because he had made significant progress towards meeting those goals. The goals were agreed upon by his parents and the staff within the school district.
For a brief history in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) please refer to this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Individuals_with_Disabilities_Education_Act. As you see, these are Federal Laws that we are dealing with and as such, are taken very seriously by both the family and the school.
Back on April 29, I wrote about American Students and how they are falling behind their peers from other parts of the world.
This morning on my drive into work, I heard on the radio that MPS is looking for 700 "volunteers'" to be laid off for next year. While I understand budget concerns, declining enrollment, taxes and everything else that goes into the decision making process, there has got to be a better answer then just closing schools and increasing class sizes. At what cost does this affect the students? II know that not every kid wants to go to school, but we must provide the best product possible for those who do.
Growing Up
Last night, I am making dinner and my daughter sits down to start her homework. We are having the usual chit chat about her day, when suddenly she blurts out that she did not like the class they had on personal health issues. Namely, it was "the talk".
As a father, I am somewhat prepared for these issues to come up, but last night was not one of them. My wife was out so it was just me listening and offering my 2 cents in a dad way. During the course of the conversation, the subject turns to feminine hygiene products. I must admit, I do not have a lot of experience with these. Thankfully my wife walked in during the choice of pads Q & A.
Taking Responsibility
Martin Luther King Jr once said: "The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy."
As a parent, I work very hard in teaching my children to accept responsibility for their actions. These are the same values taught to me growing up. I will not let allow my kids to blame somebody else for their own mistakes, especially if I know that they did the action.
I recently received a call from a guy I used to travel with quite often on business. About 8 years ago I took a corporate job that required some travel. In the 3 years or so with the company, I traveled about 32 weeks a year, home on weekends. I was always home for the important things like kids concerts. I decided that I wanted to watch my kids grow up and gave up the travel.
As we were catching up, the conversation turned to the airlines charging for checked baggage. Being in the transportation industry, we both could not understand why they would encourage passengers to carry on their luggage.Unless I had an overnight trip, I always checked my bag. The more bags being carried on flights, the longer the waits to get through security. Speaking from the business traveler stand point, not something we enjoyed.
Fast Pitch Tournament
This weekend, the Cudahy St Francis Little Baseball Association will be hosting teams from Wisconsin, Illinois and Michigan for the following tournament.
Cudahy - St. Francis Little Baseball Association and National Softball Association (NSA)
Advocacy and Employment
I just spent the last couple of days in Madison for meetings of the Wisconsin Board for People with Developmental Disabilities. The discussed 2 major topics: the State Plan which is required by the Federal Government and Employment opportunities.
This will be my first State Plan. While I will be participating in the entire process, one of the special areas that I will be working on is the Advocacy portion. One of the reasons that this position is of special interest to me is because I am advocating for my son Tyler.
Advocacy and Employment in Cudahy
Advocacy and employment are not just issues for people in the disability community.
In order for the City of Cudahy to grow, we all must be advocates of the City. It is true that all of the elected officials must advocate for bringing businesses to Cudahy. But is also our responsibility to advocate for Cudahy. Sure, Mayor Day and Lara Fritts are out looking to bring businesses to Cudahy and talking about all the benefits the City has to offer. But if the rest of the residents do nothing but point out the negative things about Cudahy, then why would a business want to relocate or start anew in Cudahy?
Summer Vacation
Today I start my summer vacation for the first time in over 25 years. It is an unplanned vacation, but we will have to make the best of it.
My vacation will consist of many projects that there is just not enough hours in the day to get down because of other priorities. Namely decluttering the house.
Memorial Day
This Memorial Day weekend brings back memories of our family vacation last summer. We spent a week in Washington DC. While there are so many great things to see in Washington, I think that 2 are very relevant for this weewkend.
First, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the changing of the Guard. For those who have seen this moving event, you know what I am talking about. For those who have never experienced this event, here is a link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jp17RtUCJkw&feature=fvw. I don't think anything else needs to be said.

May 09, 2007
The title of former CIA director George Tenet's new book, "At the Center of the Storm" proved cannily prophetic as he embarked on a media tour last week. If Tenet's intent was to distance himself from the decision to launch the now unpopular war in Iraq, the effect instead was to ignite a debate over his integrity and judgment.
In a May 2 interview on CNN's "Situation Room," an unusually combative Wolf Blitzer grilled Tenet, whose book was critical of White House planning for Iraq, about why he did not do more to stop the momentum toward war. "You met with the President every single morning," said Blitzer. "If you didn't think it was worthwhile going to war against Saddam Hussein, you clearly could have made this case."
"You're being, as you know, criticized from the left, from the right, from the center," added Blitzer, as he read critical remarks about Tenet from such ideologically diverse figures as Maureen Dowd and William F. Buckley Jr.
Two days earlier, conservative blogger Michelle Malkin—subbing for Fox News Channel host Bill O'Reilly—asked one of her guests about Tenet's April 29 appearance on "60 Minutes."
"Didn't you get the impression of somebody who was just a pathetic whiner?" she asked.
The controversy generated by Tenet's new book was the fourth biggest story last week, filling 5% of the overall newshole, according to PEJ's News Coverage Index from April 29 through May 4. But the Tenet tempest was really part of a bigger subject—the conflict in Iraq—that continues to dominate the media landscape like no other issue, and which last week spawned many different story lines.

Artist Statement: My mother-in-law, Bertha Cotton, suffered with Alzheimer's for 12 years, until she was 92 years old. She loved the colors of coral and turquoise/teal, so they were the inspirations for this quilt. This disappearing nine patch in her colors represents the fading away aspect of Alzheimer's. There are fabrics showing flowers and nature, since she had such a love of both. She was born in Norway and came to live in the States at age five. She was very proud of her heritage, hence the title in Norwegian, "Her Favorite Colors."
Dedication: To Bertha Torkelsen Cotton (1917-2008), Baldwin, NY and New Port Richey, FL.
This quilt has Fast Finish Triangles.

The census influences where Congressional representation and federal money go. Generally, these go to where the people are. Should an education policy "go where the people are?" Should we teach schoolchildren to speak Spanish fluently?
In my mind, one goal of such a policy would be to ensure that, come 2050, we can all communicate with each other.

Capturing the Urban Heartbeat
One of the world's foremost photobloggers, Toronto's Sam Javanrouh has spent over seven years capturing the heartbeat of the city, to the delight of a global audience.
The streets of Toronto have proven themselves to be fertile ground for upstart photographers. The city is a popular location for photobloggers, and at the forefront of this movement is Sam Javanrouh, the man behind one of the world's most popular photoblogs, Daily Dose of Imagery.Javanrouh moved from Iran to Toronto in 1999, and he soon started exploring the city, camera in hand. He set up a photoblog in 2003 to make it easier for friends and family to check out his new home, and within a few months it was receiving thousands of hits daily."I started it as a creative challenge, because I just fell in love with the whole process, as well as the fact that I can share it with anyone," explains the soft-spoken Javanrouh. "It was really mostly for my friends and family; I never dreamed I'd have so many visitors. When I started it I had no idea how long it was going to last, and I never intended it to be only photographs. I thought I was going to put some of my other work there, but suddenly it became very specific and my visitors demanded certain things."A creative director at the post-production company Optix, Javanrouh has been involved in the creative industry for almost two decades. Starting out in print design, he eventually found his calling in motion graphics. Javanrouh has worked at Optix for the past 10 years, and Daily Dose of Imagery has become an important and complementary source of creative expression."[Photography is] a meditation for me. With all the craziness of life, it's really mentally helpful sometimes. I always have a camera on me, and I've found so many amazing images that way. You're looking at everything through a frame, and it really helps you creatively."His post-processing work typically begins around midnight and ends at two or three in the morning; due to the balancing act of a busy life, that's the only time available to him. However, this isn't a detraction to Javanrouh, as he enjoys every step of the photographic process. Burning the midnight oil allows him to work blissfully uninterrupted."I've always been a believer that half the photograph is made in the field and half in post-processing. There's still a part of the geekiness and nerdiness of photography that I love. Finding new tools, new techniques, combining photography with Flash, time-lapse, and this whole new DSLR video boom; so many photographers are against it, but I absolutely love it."Despite the popularity of Daily Dose of Imagery, Javanrouh doesn't often promote himself as a photographer. But he takes on freelance photography projects as they come to him, primarily when the subject matter interests him, with a soft spot for Spacing Magazine and other urban topics. He also licenses images for editorial usage and private printing, and has published three books compiling images from the blog. After seven years and thousands of pictures, there's no telling what route Daily Dose of Imagery may take in the future. But whatever happens, the simple joy of experimentation will likely never leave Javanrouh."Ultimately, I love the visual arts. Exposure is my passion; just to get that cinematic look to life, and trying to capture that every day. I love making images, I love looking at images...At the end of the day it's just about making images."
Sam Javanrouh is a photoblogger and a creative director at Optix. He can be reached at Daily Dose of Imagery.

SAN ANTONIO — UTSA will enter the final weekend of regular season play with a Friday match against East Carolina. First serve is scheduled for 7 p.m. at the Convocation Center and the Roadrunners (19-7, 11-1 C-USA) will honor seniors McKenzie Adams, Paige Hamilton, and Brandy Huskey prior to first serve.
A victory against the Pirates (13-17, 3-9 C-USA) would set up a potential Conference USA regular season championship match on Sunday when three-time defending conference champion Tulsa (22-5, 11-1 C-USA) comes to town for a 1 p.m. tilt. Both teams enter the weekend in a first-place tie with matching 11-1 league records.
A win also would mark the fourth consecutive season that UTSA has reached the 20-win plateau. It would be the longest such streak since the Roadrunners accomplished the feat from 1987-90. There only have been two 20-win seasons (1999 and 2000) between the two respective streaks.
East Carolina is coming off of a five-set loss to Charlotte and it will be looking to secure a place in the postseason tournament. The Pirates are averaging 11.39 kills per set and they own a .165 attack percentage.
