The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) was formed in 1862 by Abraham Lincoln. It is responsible for developing and executing federal policies relating to farming, agriculture, forestry, and food.
Since its inception, the USDA has been granted powers by both Congress and presidential executive orders that, progressively and collectively, have made it the policy-setter for both agricultural policies
and nutritional guidelines.
This is an obvious and serious conflict of interest that has led to an epidemic of chronic disease. It's also why federal guidelines relating to diet are so grossly divergent from nutritional science.
Historically, USDA policies have been heavily-and in some instances, exclusively-influenced by pesticide producers and the junk food industry, and for the last 100 years, its nutrition "guidelines" have been a direct result of an effort to boost farm economics.
In short, federal dietary recommendations have very little to do with actual nutrition science, and everything to do with promoting foods that serve the
junk food industry's bottom line, not the public health.
Through its power to set and enforce both agricultural policy and dietary standards, the USDA has much to answer for when it comes to the current state of health of Americans...
Nutrition Guidelines Set to Boost Junk Food Economics, Not to Promote Health
Ever since 1933, every five to seven years the US Congress passes a set of legislative acts commonly referred to as "the Farm Bill," which includes agricultural subsidies to growers of certain types of food.
These subsidies are in large part responsible for promoting and worsening the US obesity epidemic-a fact highlighted in a 2013 study published in the
American Journal of Preventive Medicine.1 According to the authors, the root of the problem is that:
"Government-issued payments have skewed agricultural markets toward the overproduction of commodities that are the basic ingredients of processed, energy-dense foods."
This includes corn, soybeans, wheat and rice, which are the top four most heavily subsidized foods.

"I was able to use the font I wanted to use. The vintage tone looks great with this muted pink and brown. Very happy with how these turned out!"
"We absolutely LOVE the baby announcements that we ordered from Tiny Prints -- the cards were beautiful, the photo quality perfect, and the overall service from TP was impeccable. A truly perfect experience."
"I wanted a baby announcement for my second daughter and love the combination of pink and brown. I also loves the ability to have more than one photo on the card as i really wanted to feature my other daughter as a big sister. The quality of the paper and the photos was fabulous."
"I was a bit nervous about ordering these, sight unseen, but was pleasantly pleased with the quality of the product and the proactive, thoughtful communication while waiting for my order. I liked that someone took a look at it at "tweaked" it before printing for maximum photo clarity."

CENTRAL, La. (AP) - Voters in Central approved a school proposition to allow the district to borrow $13.1 million and repay the bonds by extending an existing property tax for five years.
The measure passed with 59 percent of the vote.
The Advocate reports the funds will be used to build a ninth-grade academy at Central High and for other improvements.
Central Superintendent Michael Faulk said Saturday night the district will be able to spend about $5.8 million on a new two-story academy, with 14 classrooms, four science labs and two technology labs for 480 students.
Passage of the ballot issue extends the tax for five years so the school system can sell more bonds to fund the new construction needs.

text: Sen. Feinstein: 'Concerned' About Defense by Benghazi Diplomatic Security Print article Send a Tip by Kerry Picket 11 Dec 2012 post a comment On Tuesday, Chairwoman of the Senate Intelligence Committee Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) confirmed with Breitbart News that she has "concerns about the defense put up by [Benghazi] Diplomatic Security. That is correct." Breitbart News reported on Monday that Sen. Feinstein was troubled to learn, during a closed door meeting about the Benghazi attack, that shots were not returned by U.S. diplomatic security agents who were assigned to protect U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens. Chairman of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee Joe Lieberman (D-CT) told reporters on Tuesday that he and ranking committee member Senator Susan Collins (R-ME) are still reviewing the Benghazi reports. "The big questions are: What happened before the attacks of September 11? Should we have had more security there or if we couldn't have sent enough for some reason?" Lieberman asked. He went on, "Should we have closed down the mission in Benghazi? It was very small. And the second is what happened during the attack? Is there more that our military should have been able to do protect the lives of out people there? So these are still—the questions are very good questions. I don't feel like I completed my investigation enough to answer now." Lieberman told Breitbart News that he could neither "confirm nor deny yet" if the U.S. diplomatic security personnel were initially unarmed when the attacks in Benghazi happened, but that "we'll deal with that in the report."

A jury has found a Scottsbluff couple guilty of felony child abuse.
KNEB radio reports the Scotts Bluff District Court jury on Saturday found Carlos and Jennifer Herrera guilty of felony child abuse. That's less serious than the charges they had faced of child abuse resulting in serious injury.
Prosecutors say authorities began their investigation in October 2011, when the couple's son missed school after showing up with injuries.
Defense attorneys say child services officials forced the couple's children, including a daughter, to believe abuse was taking place.
Police say the Herreras tried to conceal the boy's whereabouts when officers checked on the child. Officers say he had several injuries, including the imprint of a shoe across his face. They also say the boy suffered extreme neglect and malnutrition.

ObamaCare Ties Cement Shoes to the U.S. Economy
Another company announces that the healthcare bill the President and the Democrats had to write in secret and pass under cover of darkness will sink it when the bill goes active in 2014.
My friends, reason number 3,401 that ObamaCare needs to be repealed:
The Columbus-based family owned restaurant chain - known for serving small square hamburgers called "sliders" says a single provision in the bill will eat up roughly 55 percent of its yearly net income after 2014.
Props to House Minority Leader Boehner and House Minority Whip Cantor for continuing to push repeal. A majority of voters still favor repeal, but that majority was slipping last week as the memory of Obama's false promises, the Democrats' anti-democratic tactics in Congress, and the inquisition directed at companies who spoke out fades.
Keep reminding voters that Obama's healthcare reform is an economy-killer and it has to be stopped before it sinks us in yet another recession.

What does it mean if a girl accidentally texts me instead of her boyfriend.... twice in 2 days. Am I on her mind?
Went to grab a drink with a girl who has a boyfriend and she accidentally texted me to ask her boyfriend something when she was in the bathroom. The next morning she texted me to thank her boyfriend for something too. Am I on her mind or something? She is immensely attractive and likes to flirt (like jokingly showing some thigh or making some sexual motions/posses) and play it off like we are always just joking... a little dirty note here and there... she's also really nice so it makes it hard to read. Thanks
What's Your Opinion?
Most Helpful Opinion
It happens, this one time I was at dinner with a group of friends and this girl started touching my d*** under the table with her legs thinking I was her boyfriend. But the funny thing is he was sitting next to her and I was sitting across from her so not sure how she could mess that up that badly ;). It happens though, I've texted the wrong people before. My boss texts me a lot for work related stuff so I'm always really careful not to text her "hey do you wanna go do drugs etc" on accident.
What Girls Said 2
my daughter had a boyfriend who did this when he was dating another girl right before her when they were just friends and later admitted he'd done it on purpose so he'd be on her mind or some other lame reason he gave when really he was just playing games. I"m gonna go with on purpose lol cause girls are way worse about playing little games than boys are ... just sayin'

School board workshop today targets bond
Monday, June 16—Ramona Unified School District trustees will hold a special meeting this afternoon at 2 to discuss specifics of a potential bond measure on the November 2014 ballot.
The meeting, open to the public and billed as a special board study session, will be in the Board Room of the Wilson Administrative Center, 720 Ninth St.
"With the anticipation of placing a school improvement measure on the November 2014 ballot, members of the governing board have requested more time to fully explore all available options for a potential general obligation bond," the board agenda reads. "During this workshop session, board members will be asking questions and sharing viewpoints about bond capacity, COP payments, project lists, and the recent community survey. The board is expected to use this opportunity to give staff members specific direction in developing a final proposal for board consideration."

Casting Call
Edinburgh Music Theatre is proud to announce their next major production…
10th – 14th March 2015
With original music from the ABBA boys and lyrics by Tim Rice this outstanding production will take to the stage of the Churchill Theatre in March 2015. Direction by Mike Davies, Musical Direction Neil Metcalfe and Choreography by Sarah Aitken. We will be looking for a strong company of:
- Singers
- Dancers
- Actors
Rehearsals will take place on Wednesday evenings and Saturday mornings in Barclay Viewforth Church Hall from September 2014.
There will be a rehearsal and production fee payable of £90/ £60 students.
If you are looking to perform with an exceptional company in the heart of Edinburgh then what are you waiting for? Come along to our casting session and let us see what you've got!
Dates and Times:
Introduction and Company casting workshop
Wednesday 17th September 7pm – 10pm
Barclay Viewforth Church Hall, 1 Wright's Houses, Edinburgh EH10 4HR
Be prepared to learn a dance and a musical number during this session which you will then perform in small groups at the end of the evening to the production team as an audition for a place in the Company.
Principal Auditions
Saturday 20th September
Times tbc
The Scout Association, 15 Valleyfield Street Edinburgh EH3 9LP
Following a successful audition for a place in the Company, you will be eligible for a PRINCIPAL audition. For this, you should prepare a monologue and a song (this should NOT be from Chess). Your song choice should include notes at the very top of your range and MUST be sung to a piano accompaniment which the MD will play for you (i.e. please bring sheet music – backing tracks will NOT be allowed). Don't worry if the song is not in the correct key for you – the MD will transpose it into an appropriate key.
Wednesday 24th September
Barclay Viewforth Church Hall, 1 Wright's Houses, Edinburgh EH10 4HR
Times tbc
You may or may not be recalled for a further audition. If you are not recalled, this is NOT necessarily an indication that you have been unsuccessful. Often the production team is able to make a decision based on the qualities you present at the first audition and may not need to see further evidence of your talents. If you ARE recalled, this will usually be to confirm the team's assessment of your initial audition and they may also wish to hear you alongside another candidate for reasons of vocal balance/look, etc. You will be told what to prepare for this audition.
For queries or further information please contact email@example.com
Come and be part of the EMT family!
About Us
Edinburgh Music Theatre Company, or EMT, was formed in 1982, to perform large-scale musicals in major theatres. Our aim was to produce shows that none of the other companies in the capital would attempt, achieving the highest possible standard in performance, while appealing to as broad a range of audience as possible.
Whilst company members are all amateur, the shows are all professionally directed both dramatically and musically. Testament to this policy are our rave reviews, and the fact that several members of the company have moved onto the professional scene, performing on the West End stage, and internationally.
Historically, the Company has performed in many theatre venues, throughout Edinburgh. Over the last 10 years we have performed annually at the prestigious Kings Theatre. Our contribution to theatre in the Lothians has been, and hopefully will continue to be, significant.
The company annually performs one principal large-scale musical in the spring of the year. Past productions have included West Side Story, Sweeney Todd, Fiddler on the Roof, Pirates of Penzance (Broadway version) and the World Premier of the Robert Louis Stevenson musical Teller of Tales. From time to time we stage Revues or small shows and have been invited to stage our productions in the excellent Adam Smith Theatre in Kirkcaldy.
We are one of the youngest musical theatre companies in Edinburgh, we do, of course, cater for a wide spectrum of ages – indeed, many members have been with the company since inception. In rehearsal, and on stage, we adopt a completely professional approach, while off-stage we are very sociable. Our members have the opportunity to contribute, whether on- or off-stage, to the success of a performance on one of the largest stages in Edinburgh. Our rehearsal period whilst intense leading up to the show is relatively short (5 months or less).

The Reg's desert XP-ocalypse aversion plan revealed
Next week, The Reg heads into Australia's red centre to perform a Windows XP to Windows 7 upgrade at the Wirliyatjarrayi Learning Centre, a facility in the tiny central Australian town of Willowra. The Learning Centre offers the first publicly accessible internet-connected PCs in the 300-strong town. Willowra is a two-hour drive …
EditPad Lite
It's a multi-tabbing text editor with many features and facilities and much better that Notepad. I used it under Windows for a long time before I switched to Linux last year and it's free for non-commercial use.
I assume that you'll have at least a couple of networked colour printers taken care of? For kids especially, it's exciting to see their work on-screen become printed out onto paper they can take home and keep and show to people.
I won't use a PC without 7-zip installed. Comes in handy almost daily, so i would include that on your app list.
I agree with you for *my* use. However, it's not got the most intuitive of interfaces. Come to think of it, most non-technical users still have trouble with zip managers...
If there is any obscure hardware at all, you are probably going to want to take a pre-downloaded copy of the W7 drivers for it.
public access?
You'll be wanting adblock plus plugin/add on/extension for all these web browsers then...
Ccleaner to run on boot...
A silent defrag scheduled...
And, um, as much protection as you can muster!
I haven't tried these, but I'd be seriously contemplating sandboxie/deep freeze/similar.
I'd also be looking at the kind of access you want to give users, and making sure there's a sound update process in place
Re: public access?
Defrag has been scheduled by default since Vista! (Unless you're on an SSD, of course, which Windows 7 will correctly detect).
Re: public access?
CCleaner, yes, but having it run on boot might be a bit resource intensive. They don't seem to be high spec PC's. I'd advise the person (or people) in charge of the place to run it once a week or so.
Also, some anti malware, either MBAM or SuperAntiSpyware in addition to the AV.
This one might not be applicable to the userbase, but CutePDF (simple PDF printer) is a useful one I always install. It's light, free, and useful for creating PDFs of receipts and useful web pages.
An e-mail client?
(ignore if WSUS offline includes the Windows Essentials stuff)
Also Paint.Net & Notepad++
Re: An e-mail client?
I love Notepad++. I really do. But in this case, if the bandwidth is low, the repeated updates to this would get quite annoying.
Better a text editor with less features, but less release flapping.
Re: An e-mail client?
Not so sure about the email client, these are public access computers so surely all email would be web-based.
+1 for paint.net, it's a brilliant little image editor
+1 for notepad++
Re: An e-mail client?
Another +1 for Notepad++ for free text editors. But if you want the best, shell out a few dollars and get UltraEdit.
Notepad++ updates?
No need to enable automatic updates though...
Re: An e-mail client?
The first thing I thought was Notepad++. I haven't updated it since downloading it a while ago. The only reason I updated from using Notepad was find and replace.
Also, NoScript and FlashGot are excellent add-ons for Firefox, that can help with protection and video 'borrowing'.
Wouldn't Libre Office make more sense, I understand it gets better support and updates?
Admin tools like Fing and advanced port scanner for networks, an ISO mount utility, a linux boot USB drive (and CD) for just in case a HD fails, Gpart, robocopy (does that come on 7?) or similar for backup tasks (will there be a NAS on the network?), printer & scanner drivers if necessary.
Re: OpenOffice?
+1 for LibreOffice
Re: OpenOffice?
OpenOffice is gone. I've used both, alot, and the first year of LibreOffice saw more improvement than the previous 3-4 years of OpenOffice.
So another +1 to LibreOffice
Re: OpenOffice?
Why use any open source when MS Office is provided? That is like suggesting using a unicycle to cross the Himalayas when a airplane is being offered.
As Paul says above, LibreOffice gets more FOSS love than OOo.
Don't forget to install NoScript!
If you want to make backups of the drives before upgrading I would recommend CloneZilla and if things go badly on an install you might want a copy of the SystemRescueCD. Distrowatch.com can point you to both.
If you want to put up with NoScript ("Why doesn't that website work?" ... check drop-down menu ... JavaScript from half the Internet and possibly even off-earth hives of scum and villany are being pulled in ... "Well, it just doesn't"), then add Ghostery
I hate it, and I know it opens all sorts of security holes, but my guess is there will be a requirement to open PDF files. And Adobe Reader is a default for that. I'd also be tempted to include PDF Creator - which installs a PDF printer, although LibreOffice has a save as PDF option included.
Re: PDF
SumatraPDF surely? Or Foxit Reader at a push - less lean than Sumatra but the download package and install footprint are both smaller than Adobe, and Foxit doesn't nag you constantly to update thanks to the bloody update processes it runs in the background "for your convenience", which on older hardware is going to compromise performance unnecessarily.
If you are going to inflict something Adobe-based on them then be sure to clean out the update processes that sit in the background consuming CPU cycles, RAM and bandwidth, and just add checking for updates to the admin's weekly maintenance list along with running CCleaner and the like.
And a vote for LibreOffice over OpenOffice.
Re: PDF
+1 for SumatraPDF. Used to deploy FoxIt but it became bloated adware.
Re: PDF
I myself prefer to use Foxit, but I have to admit I'm still looking for my jaw after I saw how Sumatra handled (and scrolled) PDFs of hundreds of megabytes (instantly), while both Foxit and Adobe Reader were within inches of a BSoD trying to open them...
Re: PDF
Unfortunately, I agree whilst I do use third-party PDF tools, I've found there are times when a PDF only renders correctly in Acrobat Reader...
But definitely would install a PDF printer with preview, it is quite useful in preprinting webpages and then selecting only those content pages you actually want to print. unfortunately I use Expert PDF for this, which isn't free.
Re: PDF
Google Chrome handles PDFs nicely. You just have to set up the file association yourself, since it doesn't do it automatically. It handles every PDF I've thrown at it.
It's nice and secure - it omits the more advanced PDF features that have approximately zero real-world uses and account for most of Adobe's security holes. It also runs its PDF renderer in the same sandbox it uses for rendering HTML, so you'd need two vulnerabilities to exploit it.
Chrome also does silent automatic updates, and only downloads deltas for the updates to save bandwidth. And if you're using Chrome as a browser anyway then you'd be getting the upgrade anyway.
Good luck with those for old PC kit, best installing Win7 32bit as you might be out of luck with some 64bit drivers.
Re: Drivers
^THIS! Don't even *think* about loading 64-bit on that old Hardware!
... and major kudos to you and The Reg for doing this! Big Thumbs Up!
I can't see why The Gimp is a standard tool to install, it's a bit specialist and not very easy to use. Paint.NET is better if you actually need something, but I doubt you do.
NotePad++ would definitely get my vote.
I'd say use MSE rather than Avast.
Surely Acrobat Reader is a requirement?
Not sure on why bother with FF and Chrome, I'd say pick one as an IE alternative personally.
AdBlock possibly makes sense but not script-blockers because it sounds like your target users will not know what's going on when pages don't work properly.
Have you read any recent anti-virus tests of late and just how poorly MSE performs ?
And as for acrobat , oh please - use Sumatra. Have you not been following the story about how bandwidth constrained they are. Besides if you were up to date you'd know firefox has a PDF renderer already built in.
A few extras
1) If GIMP then Inkscape
2) If users can teach themselves GIMP, then Audacity with the LAME library and a few sets of headphones and a couple of USB microphones. Podcasts fun to make and can help with literacy development depending on local supoort (scripting)
3) Scratch or LOGO or similar entry level programming tool with visual orientation
4) Outlier: a community of 300 must have a few dozen teenagers - pure data music programming and some of the freeware synthesisers. Make truly satisfying types and quantity of noise. Reaper licence? Is there a free thing for Windows like Garageband?
Coat on now because its raining and I use a different OS.
I would personally use SumatraPDF over Acrobat Reader if I had the choice here.
Tiny, fast, free, no background updater bloating things out. If these are old XP machines, you don't want any bloat.
Re: MSE !
I'd still recommend Acrobat because my motivation isn't to show how tech-savvy I am, but to provide standard tools people will have heard of.
As for "if you were up to date you'd know firefox has a PDF renderer already built in" yeah great so does Chrome. Often, links to PDFs open directly in the browser and this is pretty great. But then sometimes they demand you download the file and I don't want to be opening local files with my browser.
Also - I am up to date. That's why I don't use FF anymore.
Re: MSE ! @jdx
So why do you recommend a bloated, malware prone application that requires frequent updating to people who are not tech savvy and are bandwidth constrained ? Thankfully you are not designing an office network for ten that only need simple file-sharing and backup. You would probably have them on three quad core xeon servers when a good nas will do.
A lump hammer is a standard tool for a brick layer but quite useless to a watchmaker.
Re: MSE ! @rm -rf /
All AV is basically a poor option, they often stop ~95% of stuff but there is so much that the remaining 5% will bite if folk are not prevented from running / installing stuff.
And they really suck resources. On older PCs you have to ask if it is worth the continuous user pain versus to one or two re-installs per year.
If your MS skills are up to it, try making the various temp locations and user's home directories (basically anywhere they can write to) non-executable using ACLs. Brutal, but one way to limit Trojans...
Re: MSE ! @rm -rf /
Gone AC now have we JDX ?
Re: MSE ! @rm -rf /
Because obviously two people couldn't think you're an idiot.
Slip a used Mac Mini in your bag and save them some agony:)
Re: Outback
"Slip a used Mac Mini in your bag and save them some agony"
Yeah, so the other trolls are all hanging out on the other thread. Why don't you toddle off there, grownups are talking about the actual subject on this one.
On-topic, and constructively, it might be worth taking TCP Optimizer or something similar along, see if a little bit of tuning might help squeeze the most of that low-bandwidth link
pre-install TeamViewer (or similar) on the devices, that way, if there are problems, you can provide remote support.
Re: TeamViewer
pre-install TeamViewer (or similar) on the devices
Windows 7 comes with Windows Remote Assistance out-of-the-box. It only takes a few clicks and an email to get help.
Oh and to launch it ask them to click the start button and type 'ass' :)
Re: TeamViewer
Yes, W7 does come with Remote Assistance. And RA provides a better experience (than TeamViewer, IME) for the person providing assistance when it works. But I've also found it to be much less reliable at connecting than TeamViewer - particularly if the remote site is bandwidth-constrained (as is apparently the case here). So I tend to use TeamViewer by default, because it just works.
Re: TeamViewer
Teamviewer (and previously LogMeIn et al) are much better than Windows Remote Assistance. Remember the main reason you will need to access a system isn't to support a user session but to fix something on a machine, which you will typically be doing out of hours...
On this vein, it is useful to set up the system standby settings to ensure you have a reasonable window of opportunity (ie. a few hours) to grab a system after a user has finished, before the system goes into a network disconnect and shutdown mode.
Re: TeamViewer

Classic Shell of course.
on Win7?
It's the only way to be sure.
Depends on the users. Classic shell adds a few bits and pieces on W7 that were on XP, especially on the explorer windows. I agree though - it's hardly a vital installation with W7.
Web of Trust
I install the software from mywot.com on all browsers for computers I use. It could reduce the number of dodgy sites people try to visit.
I'm not sure about Avast (mixed reviews - and it failed to detect spyware on a friend's computer) Assuming you stick with Avast, you probably want to disable the Avast toolbars for IE/Firefox/etc and just use MyWOT instead. The AV will still scan downloads, and I don't think Avast has the XSS blocking abilities of paid-for security software so there's little advantage to the browser addon.
In addition to what Tom 64 said I find that having a copy of the drivers on an offline USB installer is very useful. It is also useful to run it on existing Windows 7 machines to update the drivers.

I have a lazy eye, would you date me? Would you even ever get NEAR me?
I have a cute little body, pretty face, and sweet green eyes... yet I'm cross eyed. My right eye won't be looking at where I'm looking at most times. (I'm far from conceited >_>)I hate it, it makes me feel so ugly ... I blame my eyes for the reason why I don't make a lot of friends and don't get noticed by guys. I mean, I'm pretty but I'm the most pathetically shy girl you'll ever meet. I'm afraid to talk to people (specially dudes) and look them in the eye. I'm scared that they'll notice it and start making fun of me.In middle school, everyone picked on me, the whole class... the guys used to call me ugly and a freak ... the girls used to play mean pranks on me, they'd make me cry. I've gotten through three years of high school and managed to not let anyone notice my eye ... I wear reading glasses and have my bangs cover over my eyes.But cause of it I don't have much friends, I've never dated, I've never kissed anyone, I don't know what it's like to have a best friend. I wish I could just rip my eye out. It's gotten to me so bad that I've tried suicide on a daily basis. I can't talk back to people when then yell, I get beat up, I get used, I might be socially awkward, I don't f***ing know. BUT, I met this guy, I REALLY, REALLY like him, I mean, he's the only guy that's actually tried talking to me. He's into me too. He has no god damn clue that I'm a freak, but he's going to find out that I'm cross eyed eventually. My question is, would you ever date someone that's cross eyed? Would you be ashamed to be seen next to them? If you were him, and you found this out? Would you hate me? Would you never talk to me again? I'm scared.
What's Your Opinion?
Most Helpful Opinion
kids are assholes, so forget them. If you got by for 3 years without anyone noticing then it can't be that bad. And if it is really bad then people are probably just ignoring it and are beginning to grow up. I have met really great people who have had lazy eyes. After you are friends with them for awhile you hardly even notice it. You need to focus on what you believe are your best qualities and people will begin to notice them too. If all you are ever focused on is your eye then that is what they will be focused on.As you get older you will begin to clearly see the difference between nice people and mean people. Eventually you will find a guy who likes you for you. Just keep smiling and laughing and you will live a better life.
What Guys Said 2
Why would he hate you? People don't hate handicapped people. Similar to what NotsoBad said, no one really cares if they haven't said anything to you in three years. More importantly, suicide is never the answer. Everyone has flaws, and we are all embarrassed of them. There are plenty of people who would go out with a pretty girl with a lazy eye. I wouldn't care if I was attracted to her. Don't be scared; everything will be fine.
I feel 4 you. I myself have a lazy eye that drifts of to the side and I hate it. I've been with a decent amount of girls they normally never say anything about it. You will def. find a guy that loves you!Some people are just strait up mean and you don't want someone who makes you feel bad about yourself. I've been talking to this girl off Face Book and she wants to go meet up 4 a few drinks but I'm scared to...I have been putting her off and feel like an a hole cause of it...I would date a girl with an eye issue. It's the inside that matters...Hottness helps...:)
What Girls Said 2
Having a lazy eye is not that big a deal. Kids in school will make fun of anyone that shows an emotional weakness. It's not about the eye, it's about your feelings - that's the real reason they made fun of you.A guy who is talking to you and likes you is not gonna care if you have a lazy eye. If someone actually cares about that, they are the one with the problem.

CAPE CORAL, Fla.- Jorge Gutierrez of Cape Coral was found guilty on Monday, receiving five years of probation and restitution for uttering $22,000 in bad checks.
Gutierrez received the sentencing after being arrested four days prior to Christmas in 2011.
Gutierrez carried out this crime several days before Christmas in 2010. The Lee County Sheriff's Office Economic Crimes Unit caught up to Gutierrez one year after his spending spree, and arrested him.
A three month investigation revealed Gutierrez would deposit worthless checks in his business account at a North Fort Myers bank under the name AJ Maintenance Solutions LLC.
Several days before Christmas in 2010, Gutierrez began depositing the worthless checks. Once the checks were credited to his account, Gutierrez went on a shopping spree and made several large purchases that included electronics, toys and household items. Bank employees became suspicious when the suspect's bank account started showing a negative balance of more than $20,000. The bank notified the Lee County Sheriff's Office, which launched an investigation.

Shoppers react to plastic bag ban: Great idea but what about the 'drippy slabs of meat?'
"What are you going to do with slopping drippy slabs of meat in your shopping bag?" wondered one. "Maybe they should ban water bottles," mused another.

Chris McDonald is all for city council's plastic bag ban. He thinks it will condition shoppers to remember their reusable totes.
Shoppers like himself.
"Usually I bring my own, but funnily enough, we stopped here for two things," said the charity executive, gesturing at the half-dozen plastic bags filling his shopping cart as he left a downtown supermarket Wednesday evening with his kids.
"We actually came here for what, tomatoes?"
"And cheese," finished his daughter Caleigh, 12.
McDonald represented one of the two most common reactions to Wednesday's surprise vote: entirely supportive, and entirely regretful to have forgotten those reusable bags in the car, at home, or at work.
"Awesome. I think it's awesome," agreed Catharine MacIntosh, an artist and entrepreneur, leaving the same downtown supermarket with her mom and brother — all carrying plastic shopping bags.
"That's really embarrassing," she said, laughing. "I have my own bags at home."
"I do too," said her brother.
"I do too. I have three of them," said their mother (but visiting from Calgary, so with a good excuse).
The other most common reaction was a mix of disbelief and irritation.
"They did? OK. That's interesting," said Bonnie Crawford-Bewley, learning of the surprise motion that had passed not an hour earlier. "That's going to be a pain in the neck," she said, adding she had supported the 5-cent fee.
May Cheng was carrying three reusable totes. "What are you going to do with slopping drippy slabs of meat in your shopping bag?" she wondered.
"I use a few (plastic) bags for things like taking out the Kitty Litter and stuff. You can't live without plastic bags. We're going to end up buying them."
Paul Taylor agreed. "There is a utility there," he said. "Sometimes you forget. It's just not practical to totally ban them."
But some wondered if council should go further.
"Plastic: bad. Ban: good," said Raelen Trevis. "Maybe they should ban water bottles, too."

Congratulations to 46-year old Tracy Kemper of Oyster Bay who scored as the first woman overall in the 7th annual Heart & Sole 5 Kilometer Run held on the roads of Plainview on Sunday morning, July 11. Ms. Kemper crossed the finish line in 19 minutes, 45 seconds, getting her to the finish line at the Plainview-Old Bethpage Middle School 24 seconds in front of runner-up Jessica Petrina of Plainview.
Twenty-seven year old Dan McGrath of Lynbrook was the first finisher overall in 16 minutes, 10 seconds, comfortably in front of his brother Shaun McGrath, also of Lynbrook, who finished in 17:03.
Also winning an award was Joanne Gallo of Oyster Bay, who was the second place finisher in the Women's 60-64 Age Group. Gallo finished in 28:12.
Special congratulations to Jeffrey Sider of Woodbury, who once again scored as the first Plainview/Syosset Hospital Voluntary Physician to cross the finish line. Dr. Sider finished in 25:36.
The 2010 Run was held to benefit the Plainview/Syosset Hospital Scholarship Fund for local students considering a career in a medically related field, and to support community services at Plainview and Syosset Hospitals to better serve patients. This year's Run was in honor of Dr. Dorit Ben-Moha of Plainview and her "Regain My Life" Program to help folks with weight issues on the journey to their new life of better health and fitness. Race management was by the Greater Long Island Running Club.
New this year was a 1/4 mile fun run for the youngsters on the track at the Middle School, with about 30 young athletes participating, as this event kicks off the Greater Long Island Running Club's local campaign to fight childhood obesity.
A big thank you to Greater Long Island Running Club race coordinators Ric & Kathy DiVeglio and to the Race Committee from Plainview and Syosset Hospitals that made it all possible: Dr. Alan Mensch, Dr. Charles Farber, Jo Ellen Cole, Nicole D'Addario, and Jeani Beard.
Thanks as well to the major sponsors of the Run: the Medical Staffs at Plainview and Syosset Hospitals, Central Island Healthcare, Dr. Howard Matt, Alure Home Products, Axis Construction Corporation, Medical Arts Radiology Group, Sitron-Hammel Radiology Group, Axis Construction Corporation, Huntington Hills Center for Health & Rehabilitation, and Cold Spring Hills Center for Nursing & Rehabilitation.
Race organizers very much appreciated the public officials who took the time and effort to show up to support this important event on July 11: New York State Senator Kemp Hannon, Nassau County Legislators Judy Jacobs, Joe Belesi and Rose Marie Walker; and Oyster Bay Town Councilman Tony Macagnone.

Staff here have roaming profiles, pupils use mandatory
I was wondering how you all handle staff profiles?
The network I inherited was setup for staff to have roaming profiles (which is the way it has stayed). This is the first network Ive worked with/ran which has roaming profiles...and I dont like them. I find roaming profiles to be untidy, and hard to manage.
Ideally, Id like to have a mandatory profile for staff...but I bet I wouldnt hear the end of comments such as "where has my shortcut gone" and "my screen looks different"
Our students dont have profiles; I just lock them down with GP and re-directs.
Staff here have roaming profiles, pupils use mandatory
Staff and pupils here use local profiles with redirected my docs and favourites etc
Pupils have mandatory and staff have local.
Staff have roaming, Pupils have mandatory
Sorry to somewhat hijack your thread but it is relevant!
The guys who have roaming profiles setup, could you post your GPO settings? Am looking at moving staff over soon!
Manadatory for everyone here, even admin staff. End of the day it's easier to manager and in my opinion that overrules any 'inconvinience'.
Mandatory here for teaching staff and pupils, admin and other key staff have roaming.
Roaming here and very little problem in 8 years, restricted desktops as we found that the staff tend to save everything to their desktops and therefore profiles became too large.

Corvallis 104.3 FM • Hood River 91.9 FM • Portland 90.7 FM
At last month's meeting of the Lents Neighborhood Association, Portland City Commissioner Randy Leonard told a less than enthusiastic audience that "Having a Triple A baseball stadium would be the best thing we could ever have happen in Lents." While criticism of the stadium deal grows - including official rejection by the Portland Parks Board - Leonard remains unmoved in his belief that "downtown" interests, not neighborhood residents, are behind the opposition.

Man, 40, arrested in apartment arson
Updated On: Aug 18 2014 12:54:25 PM EDT
A 40-year-old Kingsland man was arrested Monday in connection with an arson fire at an apartment complex.
Joseph Loggins (pictured below) is charged in the fire that was started about 8:40 a.m. Saturday at the Hilltop Terrace Apartments in Kingsland.
The unoccupied apartment was destroyed but no one was injured, Camden County deputies said.
Investigators believe Loggins started the fire then fled the scene.
As deputies asked the public for help in finding Loggins Monday afternoon, he was arrested.

In 2002, Les Ombres Errantes won the Prix Goncourt—possibly the most prestigious award a French literary work can receive—despite the fact that it is not a novel. Before considering The Roving Shadows in its own right, it is worth pausing to reflect on the significance of that and its subsequent publication in English. Almost one half of the winners of the Prix Goncourt have yet to appear in English translation and in that sense, this translation by Chris Turner is truly an event.
The Roving Shadows is a remarkable work, primarily because it straddles the line between contemporary French literature, which is vastly under-read in the United States, and French critical theory, which is probably more popular outside of France than it is inside. Indeed, it is difficult to say which genre of writing it actually fits. On the one hand the book contains many examples of sensuous description and personal memoir—you know, the type of thing one expects to find in a literary work. On the other hand it also is full of thought-provoking aphorisms and historical anecdotes, favored modes of expression by the critical theorists. Quignard's book straddles the divide between critical essay and narrative in a way that is highly idiosyncratic. Instead of segregating the work into discrete, genre-specific parts, as Nabokov did in Pale Fire or The Gift, Quignard treads freely over the border between styles, often alternating within a single paragraph.
I seek only thoughts that tremble. There is a flush that belongs to the interior of the soul. The sixth book of the Chin P'Ing Mei (The Plumin the Golden Vase) sees the sudden appearance of the scholar Win Pi'Ku. He isn't yet forty.
The first sentence is personal narrative, the second is a kind of aphorism, and the third is the beginning of a historical anecdote that continues through most of the chapter. In fact, Quignard actually starts the book by roving across two different modes of writing, his poetic list-making style and his confessional one.
The crowing of the cockerel, the dawn, the barking of dogs, the gathering daylight, a man rising, nature, time, dreams, lucidity—everything is fierce.
I cannot touch the coloured covers of certain books without feeling a painful sensation rise within me.
The uniqueness of this work's style presents a problem to the reader and the critic. Against which body of works should one judge The Roving Shadows, then, literature or critical theory? The overwhelming majority of the book's passages are concerned with advancing the narrator's theses about his own life and the world around him. In this sense, the book feels more like an example of post-modern philosophy than it does of literature. Unlike a work of critical theory, however, The Roving Shadows develops no useful interpretive apparatus. It also advances no support for its positions whatsoever. To fault The Roving Shadows for these two failures, however, is a bit like faulting an orange for not being an apple. There is no indication that The Roving Shadows was intended to be critical theory. The only reason for thinking that it should be critical theory is that it so forthrightly advances profound ideas, ones that challenge the way most people approach the world.
In my mind, the genre-bending literature of ideas that Quignard presents in The Roving Shadows was anticipated by the work of two enormously talented and very different writers: Friedrich Nietzsche and Françoise-René de Chateaubriand. The resemblance of Quignard's work to Nietzsche's is the more obvious of the two. The Dawn, for examples, present a very similar blend of unsubstantiated philosophical theses, ad-hoc personal reflection, aphorism, and poetry. Like Nietzsche's works, The Roving Shadows succeeds in so far as it challenges the reader to question his or her own existence. And indeed, The Roving Shadows raises a host of questions about literature, about writing, about reading, and about criticism. It raises the kind of wonderment that one finds in reading critical theory, but it does so in a way that is far more accessible than your Cixous, Derrida, or Deleuze. The theses it presents can be viewed on their own terms without apparatus; its anecdotes are interesting and keep one entertained while reading, and it leaves the impression of being a "deep" book one could think about for a long time without ever making real progress at understanding.
In a more subtle way, The Roving Shadows is really a work that follows the writing prescriptions of Chateaubriand, the founder of French Romanticism. In The Genius of Christianity, Chateaubriand argued that the writers of his time were missing an enormous opportunity to tap into the imagery, the aporia, and the literary tropes suggested by Catholic theology. His works Atala and René developed a new kind of literature, one whose subject matter and stylistics were both totally unexpected and yet oddly familiar. The Roving Shadows is literature in a similar vein, it's just that the philosophical framework from which it draws its inspiration is not Catholicism but post-Modern French philosophy. Indeed, the work is best classified as a distillation of critical theory into literary form. For this reason, it is an important work, an interesting work, and a landmark in French literary/philosophical thought.
