I love that I found your site:) I've told so many of my family and friends about YOU! Some have checked out your site and their fragrance isn't available but they have found others they use also. Myself, I have been wearing Diamonds and Saphires for over 10 years and I can't find it in the stores around my home any longer. I had to go to Canada to buy it last time! I was on my last bottle when I found your site! I ordered two, and now that I know I will get the service and product I expected, I'll be ordering again soon:) Thank You and all your employees for a job well done!:):)

By unanimous vote, the Lake County Record-Bee Editorial Board is proud to announce the endorsement of Brian Martin for the next Lake County Sheriff.
Martin specifically outlines realistic plans for the sheriff's department in great detail. He respectfully and honestly addresses the issues plaguing the current system. His military background, law enforcement experience and training along with community involvement and volunteering indicate he is in touch with the community's needs. He has steadfastly presented himself as a responsible and accountable professional.
Martin has a sensible approach to handling crime in Lake County and more specifically, a desire to implement rehabilitation and skill-learning programs for criminals rather than relying on the corrections system to protect the community.
He displays a quality of leadership and an approach to working with the community he will serve as sheriff that are essential to the position.
During his interview with the Record-Bee Editorial Board, sheriff's debates and forums, Martin provided answers that were well thought out and appropriate for Lake County.
Given his level of experience in various law enforcement agencies, including his current position as the Lake County Probation Department Assistant Chief Probation Officer, his record proves he is prepared for the position of leadership. Martin consistently has his information organized when he speaks at events, and for those who haven't seen him, his information and documents are found easily on his website, an important aspect to note considering Martin said he wants to increase the sheriff's department's online presence.
Martin has the youthful energy, the experience, integrity and the vision to take the Lake County Sheriff's Office to a place of respectability.
The Lake County Publishing/ Record-Bee Editorial Board is comprised of seven journalists. It is our policy to endorse only when all seven parties are in agreement.
Candidate response: By Brian Martin -- I am humbled and honored to receive the endorsement of the Lake County Record-Bee.
It is a great distinction and a symbol of the public's confidence in my ability to lead the Lake County Sheriff's Department into the future.
I pledge to make the staff and customers of the Record-Bee proud to have me as their Sheriff.
I also pledge to maintain open lines of communication with the public through the media. Whether it's good news, bad news, flattering news, or embarrassing news, you can count on accurate and timely information from the Sheriff's Office under my watch.

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
Review by arcticpancake
"Still has a long way to go"
Grand Theft Auto - San Andreas Review
In my opinion a good game must do two things:
1. The game must be fun, put a smile on your face, make you laugh etc.
2. The game must not piss you off or irritate you in any way.
GTA San Andreas does only one of those things, namely number one. This game is incredibly frustrating! I have never been more pissed of with a game in my entire life! It's actually the reason I decided to do this review, to tell people how irritating this game is compared to how fun it is. Yes, this game can be quite fun at times, I suppose you could call it the perfect pick up and play game. However while this game is fun it will also frustrate you in equal measure. While in the process of trying to complete the final mission and failing for the third time, I think I almost punched my PC (Although I must say, I'm quite glad that I didn't!). That's right, I was that angry. Usually in a game when you fail, you just get disappointment, but in GTA - SA you get really pissed off. You see in normal game, the mission/objective is just difficult, that's why you failed, it was your fault. But in GTA that is not always the case, it can often be the game's fault. Not yours. Maybe it's the stupid missions you get stuck on, maybe it's the intolerably stupid AI, maybe it's the fact that cops chase you if they hit you, not you hitting them, maybe it's the way you see car, turn around and the car is gone. Maybe it's all of these put together to make one big mess of frustration on a DVD.
I said earlier that a good game must make you smile and laugh, GTA does not do this often. I can think of many games that have done this, Half-Life 2 jumps straight into my mind. Now that's a great game, that game wowed me and amazed me at every turn. To put it simply, GTA - SA does not. Half-Life 2 never pissed me off, not once. GTA has frustrated me so many times and on such a regular basis. An example of this is when I was doing a BMX challenge. I had to collect rings. All the rings were very easy to collect except the very last one which was perched on the top of a half-pipe. I failed the mission because I ran out of time. I was incredibly annoyed, I nearly reset my PC just to get out the game (Again, I'm glad I didn't). To go through all that only to fail anyway. In GTA when you fail a mission, have to start all the way from the beginning again. THIS GAME IS HIGHLY FRUSTRATING!!! It does not give as much fun as it does frustration.
Graphics : 5/10 - Pretty terrible when compared to modern standards.
The graphics engine in San Andreas is an improvement over GTA 3 (I'm not sure about Vice City as I have not played it for PC and I don't want to). GTA 3 ran at 640x480x32 on medium-ish as far as I remember on my PC. San Andreas runs at 1024x768x32 with every thing on high except the main detail setting. It looks a lot better than GTA 3 as well, not that that is very difficult mind you. Using other games such as HL 2, UT 2004 and Doom III as a reference, this game has very bad graphics. However the scale of the game is quite large, so the detail is understandably not as good as the other games. Even after taking this into account, the graphics still do not meet expectations. The graphics of GTA - SA did not impress.
Storyline : 3/10 - Storyline? What storyline?
I lost track of storyline a long long time ago. It's pretty vague and plot is rather boring (I did forget it after all). The characters are really nothing special, you play as an African American gangster guy and you live in the Grove Street "hood". You do stuff and go places and apparently the storyline develops. Wow. Great. Some of the characters are actually pretty weird, or disgusting. All the characters swear way too much as well, to the point that it doesn't convey any feeling of anger or hatred anymore. It's just swearing purely for the sake of swearing. It doesn't actually do anything for the game. The storyline of GTA - SA did not impress.
A.I. : 0/10 - Don't make me laugh.
Hey this is my review, I can give it 0/10 if I want to! People jump in front of you when they are trying to jump OUT of your way. People hit you and then go on a road rage because they think you hit them. It's like the game just registers a collision and it's automatically your fault. Cops will jump in front of you, die, and it's your fault, not his fault, YOUR FAULT! Gang members struggle to follow you, then mysteriously end up running in the complete opposite direction. The same happens when people are supposed to be attacking you, they run in the complete opposite direction, realize what they're doing and turn around and come all the way back. AI drivers cause blockades and pile-ups, and if you played even a teensy weensy little part in that, IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT! The AI of your character is also really bad. When you try to enter a vehicle, he always ends up running around in circles before he can enter it. Or he'll run up and down the vehicle as if he's trying to find the door. Get one thing straight, the AI of this game is TERRIBLE! AWFUL! REVOLTING! PATHETIC! SHOCKING! JUST DOWNRIGHT BAD!
Gameplay : 5/10 - Some good, some bad and some in between.
Well this was a mixed bag. Some parts of the game were a joy to play while others had me kicking my chair in frustration. Most, however was just mediocre. Not frustrating but not an experience to write home about. Most of the good parts entailed car or bike chases. These were truly tense with a good sense of speed. These parts did put a smile on my face, even if I failed them because they were fun. One of the bad parts I remember is having to chase a train. The guy with me was doing the shooting. He was unable to shoot all of the enemies, however this ended up being my fault because apparently I didn't keep up with the train. I remember keeping up with the train perfectly well... The missions are pretty varied though, I'll give it that. No two missions are really identical, and there's 70 odd missions in this game. The game area is massive as well. Big enough to get lost in! Frequently! You do learn the area eventually though. Oh and another thing, during the mission briefings, the text used to tell the player what to do is in big bold writing and moves soooo slowly, and you can't skip it. I mean, hello I can actually read faster than that. God, have a little respect to the players by not insulting their intelligence. Another irritating thing I noticed is that when you enter a building, 95% of the time, when you exit, your vehicle is gone. Disappeared without a trace. It's the most annoying thing in the world. Along similar lines when you are driving around a you see a car, you'll turn around only to find that the said car has completely vanished. Amazing. In fact it happens so much that I'm afraid to leave my car for than a few seconds or walk away from it because I'm so sure it will disappear. I remember playing a game called Morrowind, there dead bodies stay there for pretty much the entire game. GTA can't even remember it for a few seconds. GTA is a fairly new game, Morrowind is about 4 or 5 years old! It's almost like GTA is going backwards instead of forwards. Anyway there's a lot of fun to be had here, but there's also a lot of the opposite extreme as well.
Replayability/Longevity : 10/10 - Folks, this is one loooooooong game.
Apparently it takes the average player 100 hours to complete 100% and a "Pro-gamer" 75 odd hours. However I question this, I'm on 60% and I've been playing for 31 hours. So if I keep going at this ratio I'll beat the "pro-gamer" (Whatever that is). There's lot of stuff you have to do to beat his game 100%. Races, vigilante missions (One thing I noticed about the cop vigilante missions is that even though you are a cop, cop's will still chase, and try to arrest you. How odd), collecting stuff, taking pictures of things, learning to drive and fly, taking over gang territory... The list goes on. This is where GTA - SA really shines. However some may say that this game is too long, and I think I agree. You want to finish it 100%, but it's just so long. Too long.
Final comments
I've heard a lot about GTA - SA in the media lately. Video games get into the media for one reason and one reason only. The age restriction. I haven't seen the rating on GTA - SA but I can guess it would be some thing like 18 Violence, Language, Sex and Prejudice. I've seen all manner of things in the media, from the fact that your character is black to the whole "hot-coffee" sex cheat thing. I mean what kind of moron wants to play a GTA sex mini game? Not me, that's for sure. If I want porn I'll look to the internet, not my nearest Rockstar game. Another thing, what has Rockstar been doing since GTA 3? Everything that was broken in GTA 3 is still broken in GTA - SA. All they've done is added more stuff, raised their age restriction and racked up more bad media coverage. Well if you can take being frustrated and aggravated and get kicks from seeing a polygon-porn-show, GTA - SA may be for you. Otherwise steer clear. This game doesn't quite make it to my "worst game I have ever played" title, but it comes perilously close. Most definitely the worst game I have played this year. Well I've got nothing more to say about this game, thanks for sticking with me until the end of this long winded review. Nothing left except the final score...
Reviewer's Rating: 2.0 - Poor

Vietnam veterans are expected to turn out for the Wednesday, April 16, Norco City Council meeting to support construction of a veterans' memorial plaza at Ingalls park.
Veterans who knew Norco Medal of Honor recipient George Ingalls, who died 47 years ago Wednesday protecting his comrades from a grenade, planto speak in favor of awarding a contract to build George Ingalls Veterans Memorial Plaza, City Councilman Kevin Bash said.
The council will consider awarding a nearly $500,000 contract at the meeting. The funding will come from bond proceeds issued by the city's former redevelopment agency and fundraising, City Manager Andy Okoro said.
The use of leftover redevelopment funds was approved by the California Department of Finance and by the council last month as part of a mid-year capital improvement budget, Okoro said.

I don't know quite what it was about this article that irritated me and compelled me to respond, but I think it boils down to the devaluation of materials used for what is still, more or less, considered a hobby for women. No one writes articles about the high costs of golf clubs or sports cars or 100-year-old scotch or cigars, you know? On one hand, I'm happy to see Lorna's get the publicity while on the other it rankles to have the cost of knitting equipment pointed out. Let's put it this way — if the finished item (a sweater, a coat, etc) was in Nordstrom's and cost $400, no one would blink an eye.
That said, my $30 (Beaverslide yarn bought on sale) NaKniSweMo sweater is done and drying on the dressform — photo to come later!

'Our Song' is a harmonious collaboration about girls' lives
Updated 10:00 pm, Thursday, September 6, 2001
"Our Song" is more than a title: It's a statement of purpose. When the words "A film by" appear in the opening credits, the screen is flooded with names too numerous to read.
Writer/director Jim McKay gives the credit usually reserved for the writer/director to his collaborators, and shows why in the film.
As in "Girls Town," his first film, this is a look into the private worlds of girls, but one that unfolds with a more natural, rhythmic ease.
High school kids Lanisha (Kerry Washington), Maria (Melissa Martinez) and Jocelyn (Anna Simpson) are best friends with plenty in common: single-parent households, mixed-race parents, and membership in the Jackie Robinson Steppers, the real-life Crown Heights, Brooklyn, marching band whose rehearsals run through the film.
Set in the final weeks of summer, it charts the girls not so much at the turning point of their lives as of their relationship. McKay isn't as interested in a definitive portrait as a quick, sketchy snapshot of a time of life when the girls are on the verge of growing up, growing self-aware and growing away from one another.
Latest Entertainment Videos
McKay, a former documentary filmmaker, gives the impression of peeking in as the lives of these girls unfold, capturing their play and intimate moments of confession.
The three stars communicate the fears and dreams and frustrations of teenage girls with subtlety, sensitivity and dignity.
McKay beautifully shapes the stories around the rhythms of their performances and the texture of life in Crown Heights. As the final credits roll, you realize that McKay didn't share the "a film by" credit out of magnanimity but simple appreciation and acknowledgement of a true creative collaboration. It's not clear who is telling whose story, but it's obvious this song belongs to them all.

text: I use to be able to watch YouTube videos on my phone, but now it buffers and stops and goes and repeats over since switching from Jelly Bean to Kit-Kat 4.4.2. Does anyone have any explanations that I should consider? I have plenty of RAM and lots of gigs on my SD card. I keep only the apps I need and keep them to a minimum. I keep a tight running ship and I am fully aware of what runs in the background, which is not much at all. I have made no other changes. Is it that Kit-Kat has slowed down my 4gLTE internally in my phone or is it YouTube? I watch from the same location as always, next to a military base with great tower service. I know it works fine on Wi-Fi at home. But sadly at work, Wi-Fi is slow and congested. Any Ideas? Will Kit-Kat 4.4.4 fix this issue? Thanks!

What's wrong with the existing Perl debugger, you ask? Well, it's a bit, errr "crufty". It's grown organically, is quite huge, doesn't have a test suite, and contains amusing comments. For some reason, I was dreaming of an object oriented interface to debugging a program, which would make writing debugger front-ends easy.
So, like any good little extreme programmer, I sat down and wrote a few tests before writing any code:
my $ebug = Devel::ebug->new;
e, 7);
is($ebug->filename, 't/calc_oo.pl');
is($ebug->line, 8);
is($ebug->filename, 't/calc_oo.pl');
is($ebug->line, 9);
is($ebug->filename, 't/calc_oo.pl');
is($ebug->finished, 1);
Well, there were more tests. I mean, there's quite a few things you might want to do in a debugger, like set break points (with conditions), set watch points (conditions sans a line number), inspect variables, evaluate code, return from subroutine and more.
So I sat up late into the night, hacked on Perl code, and a few hours later had a new Perl debugger with tests and documentation. I reckon autrijus' energy must be rubbing off onto me.
So I threw a few modules together and built that very web app that you see in the screenshot above. Actually, I spent more time making "s" keystrokes automatically "step" using JavaScript than I spent building the web application. I guess I should brush up on my Ajax skills.
Ok, so it doesn't do everything you might want a debugger to do, but I did manage to build a complete Perl debugger in a few hours, which has a nice OO interface, and a web frontend. Neat, huh?
Of course, what's really scary is that this isn't an April Fool's joke. It's actually on CPAN as Devel::ebug. Patches welcome. Enjoy.
Would it work this way:
I tell a CGI script to run under -d:ebug. Then the debugger tells me about the secret and port number, which enables me in turn to connect to that debugging session.
This method doesnt seem to be directly supported by the module, but I am probably missing the point.

My Voice Counts
The national, state, and local election process will be the highlight of the news until Election Day in November 2016. In fact, it has already started. The election process provides a vivid backdrop to learn, get involved, and become active in the political process. The Girl Scout role in any election is to provide an accurate, age appropriate, non-partisan interpretation of the election process and to instill a commitment to participatory citizenship.
Girl Scouts of Middle Tennessee wants our scouts to get involved and get excited about the election process. This program is designed to introduce Girl Scouts to the political process in our country and Tennessee. Beginning with Voter Registration and ending with Our Government at Work, girls will have the opportunity to experience what it is like to be an active citizen.
Troops should begin this program in the summer or early fall. Because this program follows the entire election process, it should take until after Election Day to complete. All sections need to be completed in order to earn a patch.
The purpose of this program is to help Girl Scouts understand the election process, our government, and the importance of their role as a citizen.
Program Goal
The goal of this program is for Girl Scouts to become involved in the political processes of this country and state while encouraging other members of their community to become involved as well.
Important Dates to Remember
Last Day to Register to Vote
An application for voter registration must be postmarked or hand delivered to the proper county election commission office at least 30 days before an election.
State Primary and County General Election
The last day to register to vote for the primary is 20 days before the election, by
mail or in person.
The Republican Party National Convention – July 18-21, 2016 in Cleveland, Ohio
The Democratic Party National Convention – July 25-28, 2016 in Philadelphia, Penn.
General Election – Election Day is Tuesday, November 8, 2016!

UVa. student info accidentally distributed to mass mailing list
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) - The University of Virginia says a law school administrator accidentally sent an email with the personal information of 155 students.
Officials say the email sent earlier this week via a school mass mailing list included a spreadsheet that contained GPAs, class ranks and personal biographical information on students who are applying for clerkships.
The email did not include social security numbers or financial information.
The Daily Progress reports that the error is the most recent in a string of accidental disclosures of personal information at the Charlottesville school in the last several years.
Most recently, the Social Security numbers of about 18,700 students were erroneously included on health insurance brochures sent last summer via postal mail nationwide.

Lions Fall to Rivals
Men's water polo drops 7-4 decision to UC San Diego at home.
Oct. 20, 2012
LOS ANGELES -- LMU men's water polo dropped a 7-4 decision to 11th-ranked UC San Diego on Saturday at the Burns Aquatics Center. It was the fourth meeting between the two Western Water Polo Association rivals with both teams now winning a pair each as the season heads into the final month.
The first 17 minutes of the game was a one-goal affair as UC San Diego would take a one-goal lead, only to have the Lions tie it. It started that way when Brian Donohoe scored the first goal of the game, only to have Collin Walters tie it 25 seconds. Lukas Syka gave UCSD a 2-1 lead with 4:31 to go in the first, with Milutin Mitrovic tying it with 47 seconds left.
UCSD scored the only goal in the second quarter to take a 3-2 at the half.
Mark Menis would score at the 6:12 mark of the third quarter to tie the game for the third time, this time at 3-3.
The Tritons would then score the next four goals, including a pair on back-to-back goals from Donohoe to take control. They made it 7-3 to start the fourth quarter and kept the Lions off the board for over 13 minutes. Seth Coldren would add the final goal with 49 seconds left.
LMU falls to 11-9 overall and 7-2 in the WWPA while UCSD improves to 9-6 and 8-2.
The Lions will head to the Bay Area to face UC Davis on Friday, Oct. 26 and then Santa Clara on Saturday, Oct. 27.

Romney's pitch: Obama is a 'European' leader
- By Joshua Keating
Joshua Keating was an associate editor at Foreign Policy
There was not much about foreign policy in Mitt Romney's official announcement of his candidacy today. He suggested that the president has been "hesitant" about supporting the Middle East's revolutions and picked up on the "leading from behind" theme. (You have to wonder if whatever White House staffer suggested "leading from behind" to the New Yorker's Ryan Lizza realized they were scripting every GOP candidate's first ad.) He also mentioned that the president had "traveled around the world to apologize for America" and had a zinger about the proposed U.S. withdrawal date from Afghanistan: "The Taliban may not have watches, but they have calendars."
Oddly, the region that got the most play in the short section on foreign affairs was not the Middle East, Central Asia, or China, but Europe. To his credit, Romney has avoided throwing in his lot with members of his party who have openly questioned President Obama's citizenship or religion, but the former Massachusetts governor did repeatedly suggest that there's a certain Continental flavor to the president's leadership style.
He suggested that the president takes his cues and values not from the small towns of America, but from the "capitals of Europe." He said that Obama was proposing "European answers to American problems" and was treating Israel the way European countries do, with "suspicion and distrust."
At our recent Shadow Government event here at FP, the panelists suggested that a major challenge for the GOP field would be to make the case that Obama has made the country weaker and accepted the narrative of "American decline," without pandering to extremists who see him as not only un-American but anti-American.
Romney's solution seems to be the label of "European," which, for the American electorate, carries the twin connotations of timidity in foreign affairs and socialist economic policies. (Though the stereotype also feels a little dated given that Western Europe's major powers are, for the most part, currently ruled by conservative governments whose passion for austerity budgets is tempered only by their enthusiasm for bombing North Africa.)
The European attack may be a good way to play to the Republican base in the primary, but I wonder about it as a long-term strategy. American voters may feel threatened by terrorists from the Middle East, insurgents from Central Asia, illegal immigrants from Mexico, and workers from China. I'm not sure bureaucrats from Brussels pack the same rhetorical punch. We'll see.

"There's probably not a lot of spots where you aren't under surveillance in some way," Flaherty said. On city property alone, there are thousands of cameras, but how many is too many, the report asks. "What does it say when you have to put everyone under surveillance all the time?" wonders Alberta information and privacy commissioner, Frank Work.

originally posted in:Secular SevensView Entire Topic
Backstory: I'm taking this deductive logic course centered around a theory called Information Measurement Theory developed by the professor who heads a research group. I'm concerned this will turn out to be a pseudoscientific philosophy course, especially after today. Topics discussed today about the theory were: -Randomness does not exist -It is not possible to control others -It is not possible to influence others -A person defines his/her environment, while simultaneously, the environment defines the person -No person can know all information So I ended up getting into an argument with the prof, the TA, and half of the class about randomness. I argued that randomness does exist, or at minimum, it's arrogant and naive to presume to know that the universe is deterministic. This seems especially true given their fifth theorem that no person can know all information. Examples I cited were dice, queuing theory, radioactive decay, and Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle. Dice and queuing theory are not what one would call "truly random", in the sense that with enough information, one could deterministically predict the outcome with certainty. However, Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle is impossible to refute without finding some way to expand quantum mechanics to a universal scale. Wave function collapse caused by external mechanisms can only be prevented if nothing in existence is external to the system being observed. So while it's possible that every event is deterministic, that would require knowledge of all things, which is directly contradictory to their fifth theorem. Anyways, I'd like to hear what you think about this "theory" of theirs, the various theorems, and about randomness.
Posting in language:
Well, I do, so apricots. In all seriousness, I do believe in determinism.

I know I'm not the only one watching the Iran election controversy and outraged by the Iranian government's response. I'm waiting, wishing and hoping for the people of Iran -hoping that there will be some overwhelming change that will benefit them. I honestly care. Seriously. I try extremely hard to be educated and aware. BUT…I am also fluffing my sofa pillows, grabbing some fresh strawberries, stretching out and waiting for my "news" boyfriend, Richard Engel, to tell me more about it.
Somehow the world's tyranny doesn't seem as awful when Richard Engel talks about it.
His delicious smile and tasty athletic build make we want to gobble the news right up, get full and have a news baby with him.
The great thing is as NBC's head foreign correspondent I see him all day. There he is at 6 AM with Mika and Joe (Morning Joe now sponsored by Starbucks) and during the day, with the Today Show, and then at night with Chris Matthews and Rachel Maddow. I can see my main man 24/7 with this news cycle. I can tell when he looks tired. I know when he is hanging in Cairo. He is after all my news man boyfriend.
I've read this heartbreaker's history. He married his Stanford college sweetheart and then worked too much and ignored her. Believe you me I get that; I'm so used to being ignored. In fact, Richard has virtually ignored me since we met. Don't worry just like the US and its foreign interests, I'm fickle. I'm not looking for anything too long term.
But, as long as Iran is in election turmoil and there are troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, I'll see him. Actually, Richard and I've been virtually together everyday over the last few weeks. I want you to know that while I'm taking a shower, doing my hair and putting on my best "come hither" outfit that I'm thinking of the Iranian people too. Richard would insist that I do. And no, I never refer to him as Dick, at least not yet…here's hoping.

Ian Hunter on Canada's Legal & Clerical Trials
There are ancient links between priest and lawyer, going back to the earliest development of the universities, when divinity and law were pinnacles of "science," of scientia or knowledge. But today, lawyers are widely, and often deservedly, regarded as hired guns, shills for whatever purse can afford their services, while, by and large, clerics are utterly disregarded.
I wish to cast professional courtesy to the wind, and to say, as frankly as Jeremiah, what I think is the state of the law and the clergy, sketching my thesis only in broad brushstrokes.
Collapsing Pillars
The legal profession rests on three pillars, each of which is, I believe, in danger of collapse: the practicing bar, the law schools, and the judiciary.
First, the practicing bar. When I graduated from law school, the practice of law was regarded, at least by lawyers, as an honorable profession, not a business. A lawyer was obliged to exert his best effort on his client's behalf, true enough; but he was also an officer of the court and, as such, constrained in what he could say or do. When did you last hear a lawyer called "an officer of the court"? A lawyer was then also required to be a champion of what were called—and today it sounds quaint—"the rules of natural justice."
And where, pray, did the rules of natural justice come from? Why, from natural law, of course. True, natural law was not a formal part of the law-school curriculum, but the idea of natural law still held a place in our jurisprudence. Today, no law student ever hears of natural law, except perhaps as one of the superstitions of antiquity from which we have happily been liberated; indeed, only the fusty greybeards on the faculty have heard of natural law.
Mary Ann Glendon, in her incisive book A Nation Under Lawyers, quoted hard-headed -American legal realist Karl Llewellyn telling a 1960 University of Chicago graduating law class: "[You] must never lose sight of the fact that you are an officer of the court with special responsibility for the integrity of the legal system . . . your conscience, your God, your family, your partners, [and] your country." Today, a speaker who uttered such words would be hooted from the stage.
Incidentally, Llewellyn concluded that same address by telling students that, at the end of their careers, the words they should most fear hearing are: " Mene, Mene, Tekel, Upharsin," the words that Daniel translated for King Nebuchadnezzar, informing the king that he had been weighed in the balance and found wanting. "When you die," he concluded, "will you have left the law better or worse than you found it?" Anyone saying that to today's graduating class would not only be speaking over their heads but would be accused of buffoonery.
Except on ceremonial occasions, the Canadian legal profession no longer pays even lip service to such ideals. Why is that? What has caused the change? Many things, I think, have contributed.
The loss of articling, where a student is mentored by a senior professional, is one; although a form of articling continues to exist, it is shadow without substance. Law firms now openly call themselves "businesses," and in business the bottom line governs. Firms now have a Managing Partner responsible for the business. The concept of "billable hours" has trumped many old ideas, including mentorship.
But there are other reasons for the decline of the legal profession: When I graduated, lawyers were prohibited from advertising. Today some law firms not only chase ambulances, they boast about it on television. When I graduated, a lawyer could be disbarred for stirring up litigation; it was called "champerty." Today, the contingency fee, by which a successful litigator claims a portion of the spoils, underpins all class-action lawsuits.
When I graduated, the great names of the profession were generalists who could be briefed by either side on any legal issue; today three developments—-specialization, computers, and billable hours—have rendered the generalist obsolete and made it nearly impossible for a lawyer to be much more than a technician.
Diverting Faculties
Well, then, what of the second pillar, the law schools? What are they doing to recapture professional ideals? Here I speak with some authority, having spent more than a quarter-century teaching in law schools.
Perhaps the best way to convey what the law schools have become is to repeat what I hear when I reminisce with former colleagues who are still teaching. I find that most are cynical and dispirited.
How could it be otherwise? They have watched the university sell its intellectual birthright for a mess of pottage, government and corporate. They have watched, and participated in, rampant grade inflation and the almost total abandonment of academic standards. Writing under the title "The Professor's Lament" in Commentary, Carol Iannone wrote of "grade inflation of Weimar-like proportions." The essential function of the professor in the modern university, she asserted, is no longer to educate, but "to divert, entertain and interest."
When I enrolled at the University of Toronto Faculty of Law in 1966, the dean assembled the first-year class and said: "Look to your left. Now look to your right. One of you will not be here after Christmas." And so it was. In my last five years of law teaching, not a single student failed. It was not that students had so much improved; it was that faculty standards had so far declined.
Thinking back, I recall a faculty meeting where a colleague explained to me why he had never failed a student. He had "a principled objection," he said, to thus stigmatizing anyone. I asked him what he would do if a student wrote nothing at all on a final examination paper? "That would pose a difficult issue for me," he replied. "Fortunately, I have not had to deal with that."
I recall, too, another former colleague, widely honored for her feminist scholarship, who gave students grades if they participated in a carwash to raise money for the battered women's advocacy center. I brought this matter, which in my naiveté seemed an affront to the university's integrity, to the attention of my dean and the university senate, but nothing was done.
My former colleagues have watched two decades of affirmative-action hiring, where merit is secondary to an applicant's race, sex, and now sexual proclivity. No academic institution can pursue a deliberate policy of hiring mediocrity and expect to build a meritocracy. Two decades of affirmative action have reduced Canadian universities to intellectual backwaters.
Kingly Judges
What about the third pillar of the Canadian legal profession, the judiciary? The Canadian bench is adorned by some excellent judges, judges characterized by detachment, independence of mind, and a cultivated ability to examine all sides of a question and then to render reasoned decisions. But the bench also has judges, including at least one recent appointee to the Supreme Court of Canada, whose careers have been marked by ideological advocacy, not by judicial dispassion.
Still, the problem with the judiciary is less the caliber of judges, more the role that the Charter of Rights has thrust upon them, albeit a role that many judges have accepted with foolish alacrity. The Charter has made our judges into Plato's philosopher-kings, supra-legislators willing to pronounce upon political questions—must a province pay for sign-language interpreters in hospitals?—and moral questions—can homosexuals marry? Indeed, every question, however tenuous its connection to law, is now adjudicable.
In the name of the Charter, our philosopher-kings now ride roughshod over legislation enacted by elected parliamentarians. When nine unelected judges, political appointees all, all drawn from the same profession, class, and social stratum, have a near-absolute power to dictate how we shall live, to decide questions of morals as well as law, then we no longer live in a democracy.
Many Canadians applaud the Charter and consider judicial supremacy an improvement over parliamentary supremacy, but I do not. I agree with Winston Churchill that democracy is the most cumbersome, inefficient, and maddening form of government, except for all the other alternatives.
In summary, then, I submit that the three pillars of Canadian law—the profession, the law schools, and the courts—have each been undermined.
Weakened Clergy
What, then, of the clergy? If I were to speak no less frankly about what I have observed of the contemporary clergyperson in a lifetime of churchgoing, I could be accused of defamation. But instead of running down a profession so weakened that some of its members seek strength not from God but from the Canadian Auto Workers Union (which they have asked to join), let me try instead to sound a warning about four trends that I think confront all clergy.
The first challenge, which manifests itself in a myriad of different disguises, is the fundamental incompatibility between revealed religion and postmodern culture. It has often been said that Christians are "people of the book," and so we are. What Christians have to say to the world is very largely a given. As much as some would like to be more accommodating to modernity—to say, for example, that inclusive Christianity embraces homosexuality—it is not so. Moreover, it cannot be so. If it were so, whatever it was would not be Christianity.
This is the shoal upon which liberal Christianity has foundered. The United Church of Canada, for example, may be many good things, it may perform good deeds deserving of commendation, but it is not part of that historic Christian Church that constitutes the Body of Christ. To be part of that Church, one cannot repudiate Christian doctrine. And please no guff about the uncertainty of Christian doctrine: on some subjects, perhaps, but on homosexuality, no—at least not if one fairly
applies the objective test of ubique, semper, omnibus, what has everywhere and always been believed and taught by all Christians.
Apostasy in Canada originates not from the pew, seldom from the manse, but almost invariably from church headquarters, or from a house of bishops. This gives force to Jeremiah's scathing denunciation of religious leaders: "It is you—shepherds of my people—who have scattered my flock; it is you who have driven them away."
A second challenge: Canadian churches are about to face public (and, therefore, governmental) hostility about their privileged tax status. A harbinger of what is to come was the meeting at which Revenue Canada warned some denominations and churches to stay away from contentious issues like abortion during the last federal election. Even as recently as a decade ago, it would have been inconceivable that a government agency would dare to tell churches how they may and may not put their faith into action.
Third, it must surely by now be evident to all but the willfully blind that the strategy of some Christians to try to use the courts in an attempt to protect religious freedom is bankrupt. The Evangelical Fellowship of Canada has wandered into this particular cul-de-sac, albeit not alone. In fact, this always was a bankrupt strategy, because the Charter, by its nature, will always favor secular rights over religion.
Fourth, some time soon all denominations will have to come to grips with what Leon Podles calls "the feminization of Christianity," leading to churches largely empty of men. His book The Church Impotent exposed a problem that it is politically incorrect to discuss and that all denominations strive to ignore, but that is glaringly evident to that dwindling band who still attend church.
"Modern churches are women's clubs with a few male officers," Podles wrote. In the pews of nearly every denomination and country of the Western world, women typically outnumber men five to one. The Bible, liturgies, and hymns have been rewritten to expunge male references, but the few men left in the pews do not protest. If not already, then soon, the Protestant clergy will become a female-dominated profession.
Unifying Issue
Is there a unifying feature of these four challenges? I believe there is. The unifying issue is the authority of Scripture.
The Protestant churches have come to a historic crossroads. There are two paths they can take: They can jettison the authority of Scripture as an affront to our egalitarian sensibilities; or they can reaffirm the ancient position that we do not judge Scripture; rather, Scripture judges us. On their choice of path rests their future.
Finally, a constructive suggestion. I submit that the most productive thing a church, or a para-church organization, could do is to arrange a conference at which -Christians from China, from Muslim countries, from former Eastern Bloc Communist countries would be brought to speak: Christians who have learned what it takes to survive under hostile regimes that persecute Christians. We have much to learn from them.
Do I say this because I believe that Canadian -Christians will face persecution? My answer to that question is simple: Those in denominations that trim their doctrine to the spirit of the age will never face persecution; and some Christians who refuse to bow the knee before Caesar face persecution already. Even as we pray to God that it will not come to this, it behooves clergy to consider that it might, indeed that Scripture warns that it will come to this, and to be prepared.

Augmented Reality Gaming Company, Ogmento, Raises $3.5 Million in Series A Funding
--Company's Offerings Include Technology that Lets Users "Sketch Images and Watch them Come to Life"
--metaio Partners on AR App with Portland's Regional Transit Agency, TriMet
Augmented reality gaming company, Ogmento, said Wednesday that it has closed a $3.5 million Series A funding round. The round was led by Chart Venture Partners, with participation from CNF Investments and various private investors. Ogmento claims to be the first AR gaming company to have secured institutional investment.
Ogmento says that it will use the funding to build out its development teams in New York City and Los Angeles, as well as to expand the core features of its technology platform as it prepares to release several new game titles over the coming year. "This investment allows us to expand our operations to support our growth while putting development resources into our own intellectual property," Ogmento co-founder and CEO, Ori Inbar, said in a prepared statement. "Chart and CNF bring a strong track record of identifying disruptive technologies early, and working with founders to build strong companies." Added Chart Venture Partners partner, Cole Van Nice: "We've been evaluating the fast-evolving AR industry for over a year, and believe that Ogmento is uniquely positioned to lead the charge for the industry. It has an incredibly unique mix of mainstream video game industry executives, AR industry thought leaders, and world-class researchers and scientists. We're delighted to be the first VC to provide funding to a company focused on augmented reality games, and I'm confident that together we can help Ogmento continue to build on its position as a market leader."
As part of the financing transaction, Matthew McCooe of Chart Venture Partners and Joe Del Guercio of CNF will join Ogmento's board, whose other members are the company's founders, Inbar, Brad Foxhoven and Brian Selzer. In addition, Chart's Van Nice, will join Ogmento's management team as COO to help drive strategic planning, the company says.
Ogmento says that it has developed interactive augmented reality experiences for Penguin Publishing, SAP, Orange Telecom, Smith and Nephew, and PBS. According to the company, it is currently producing games in collaboration with leading media, CPG and sports enterprises and will continue to partner with game developers and AR labs around the world. Games currently in development by the company include 1) "Put Spell" (see embedded video above) an educational iPhone game that encourages children to learn to spell by interacting with a 3D panda--according to the company, the game was designed in collaboration with literacy experts, allows players to "grab real cards and drop them into virtual blank spaces," and recognizes and pronounces letters; and 2) "Sketch AR," an iPhone game that the company promises will allow users to "sketch images and watch them come to life...animated in 3D. The user can interact with the game by creating, modifying, and presenting original sketches, simply by drawing and pointing them to the camera," the
company claims, adding that the sketch technology that powers the game "will be used as a natural way for creating Augmented Reality games and user-generated content experiences." Ogmento also recently developed an app to promote the launch of the iPhone by Orange Telecom Israel (see embedded video above). According to the company, the app allows users to point their iPhone to an Orange logo, in order to activate a "virtual iPhone." Users can then "use finger gestures to turn the iPhone around, zoom in or out--or even launch applications," the company says. In addition to the iPhone, Ogmento says it is developing AR apps for Android, PC's and game consoles.
In other AR news: Munich-based augmented reality specialist, metaio, said Wednesday that it has formed a partnership with Portland, Oregon regional transit agency, TriMet, to integrate transit data--including station locations, bus routes and estimated arrival times--into a TriMet channel on its flagship junaio 2.0 mobile augmented reality platform (note: junaio 2.0, which is offered free of charge, is currently available for the iPhone and is slated to be available on Android devices in the near future). According to the company, the app works "by letting you pan around with your phone's viewfinder and then marking nearby transit stops, distances, and real-time live schedules of upcoming transit. For example," the company says, "a rider, by simply pointing her phone's camera, can find the direction of the nearest bus station and gets a list of estimated arrivals for the next several buses to her destination." The app, which utilizes open data feeds from TriMet, also offers a Map and List view feature.

MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE – Like a red and blue blur, the Dayton Flyers were pressing and passing, shooting and scoring. The waves never seemed to stop coming, with 10, 11 and then 12 players giving them quality minutes.
An exhausted and foul-plagued Stanford simply couldn't keep up.
The underdog Flyers — the No. 11 seed in the South Region — are now in the Elite Eight for the first time since 1984 after an emphatic 82-72 victory Thursday night.
"We had 11 guys score in the game and from top to bottom, we kept coming and coming," Dayton coach Archie Miller said. "The way they shared the ball and moved the ball . . . it was a true team effort. It's nice that on the biggest stage, we acted like ourselves."
Jordan Sibert scored 18 points and freshman Kendall Pollard added a season-high 12 as Dayton (26-10) made sure this one wasn't particularly close after slipping by in the first two rounds. Sibert was spectacular, slashing to the basket and draining 3-pointers, to help the Flyers lead for almost the entire night.
Dayton showed its depth early, using a dozen players in the first half to wear down Stanford.
"They were relentless," Cardinal coach Johnny Dawkins said. "That's the best way I can put it."
No. 10 seed Stanford (23-13) had the superior post play, but it wasn't enough. Chasson Randle led the Cardinal with 21 points, but shot 5 of 21 from the field. Dwight Powell added 17 and Stefan Nastic — who fouled out with more than five minutes left — had 15.
Dayton, the last remaining of the six Atlantic 10 teams in the field of 68, will play top overall seed Florida on Saturday.
Florida 79, UCLA 68
In Memphis, Michael Frazier II hit five 3-pointers and finished with 19 points as Florida reached its fourth consecutive NCAA regional final.
The Gators (35-2) also extended the best winning streak in school history to 29 straight in reaching the South Regional final.
UCLA (28-9) was back in a regional semifinal for the first time since 2008 under first-year coach Steve Alford.
Jordan Adams led the Bruins with 17 points, while Kyle Anderson had 11 and five assists with nine rebounds. Travis Wear added 14 points.
Wisconsin 69, Baylor 52
In Anaheim, Frank Kaminsky scored 19 points and blocked six shots, and Wisconsin romped.
Ben Brust hit three 3-pointers and scored 14 points for the second-seeded Badgers (29-7), who jumped to a 14-point lead in the first half and never let up on the overmatched Bears (26-12).
Kaminsky and his disciplined teammates shredded the Baylor zone defense that played so well in the first two games. Wisconsin also methodically shut down Baylor's talented offense while moving into its second regional final in 13 years under Bo Ryan, who has never reached a Final Four in a 700-win coaching career.
Cory Jefferson scored 15 points for the sixth-seeded Bears, who did little with their third Sweet 16 trip in five years.
Arizona 70, San Diego State 64
In Anaheim, Nick Johnson scored all of his 15 points in the last 2:45, after missing his first 10 shots, and Arizona rallied to advance to the final eight.
Aaron Gordon and Rondae Hollis-Jefferson scored 15 points each for the top-seeded Wildcats (33-4).
Xavier Thames scored 25 points and Dwayne Polee added 13 points for the Aztecs (31-5).
Arizona coach Sean Miller joined his brother Archie in the final eight. The younger Miller coached Dayton to the aforementioned victory over Stanford.

She said, she said: Why I sold my wedding dress
Dalia's turn: It's no secret that I've been trying to unload my wedding dress since I tied the knot nearly two years ago. After unsuccessful attempts to sell the gown in a consignment shop and on Craigslist, yesterday someone finally said yes to the dress! A friend of a friend named LaShonda, who is getting married in May, came to my house, tried on the gown, loved it and wrote me a check for my asking price, $250.
Over lunch this week, when I shared news of the transaction with the other Deal Divas, Nicole nearly choked on her salad. "WHY?!" she gasped.
So for Nicole and all the other haters out there, here are seven reasons why I said "I do" to selling my gown.
1. I'll never wear it again. Hubby and I are happily married. Even if we renew our vows one day, there's no way I'll shimmy into the same gown I wore down the aisle at age 25. Why compete with your younger self? (And for those of you who think remarriage may be in your future, you wouldn't really wear the same gown twice, would you?)
2. My daughter won't wear it, either. My mom's dress was hideously out of style by the time I tied the knot. So as beautiful as mine seemed in 2008, I'm sure my 10-year-old step-daughter (or any future daughters I may birth) will consider it an abomination by the time she weds.
3. I'm plenty sentimental. I have video and a gazillion pictures of myself in the dress from every angle, and they're much easier to store and display than the real thing. Then there are the cards, journals, ticket stubs and old e-mails I have documenting our relationship. I even photocopied the check I earned for selling the dress.
4. Why live in the past? The wedding was fun, but it was only one day of our lives. Hubby and I can use the $250 to create new memories. Maybe we'll splurge on a fancy dinner or take a weekend getaway.
5. I was sitting on a goldmine. Okay, so $250 isn't exactly enough for me to give my boss the finger and jet off to San Tropez. But at least it's something. My gown was on sale for $500 at David's Bridal. On top of that I paid about $100 for alterations and another $125 to have it cleaned after my big day. We've talked about how we're unwilling to pay big bucks for jeans, but at least those are versatile. And I know, I know -- you can't put a price on love. But a wedding dress isn't love. It's fabric.
6. I want the space. Anti-clutter guru Peter Walsh says that if something is truly important to you, then you'll give it a place of honor. For nearly two years, my gown has been stuffed into a closet with a vacuum cleaner and Christmas decorations.
7. It has a great new home. I admit, when LaShonda stepped into the gown, I thought, This is actually happening and began to have second thoughts. But then I saw the way she looked at herself in the full-length mirror. "I feel like a princess," she kept saying as I laced up the back. She called her friends to tell them she'd found The One. She called her tailor to ask about getting it hemmed. She was as happy as -- well, a bride -- and I was happy for her. My dress would never have brought anyone that much joy just hanging out in my closet with the vacuum. By this time next year, LaShonda will have her own photo album full of memories in the dress. So if anyone plans on tying the knot in the fall of 2010, I know where you can get a great deal on your gown...
Nicole's turn: "Why!?" I exclaimed when she told us the news.
Yes, Deal Diva Dalia is correct when she said I choked on my salad when she told me she sold her wedding dress. For me parting with my wedding dress would be like giving my dog away. Sure, it would make my life easier, but it would be horribly painful.
I'll admit, my situation is a tad different. My seamstress aunt made my wedding dress, as she has for all the young women in my family for their big day. We designed it together, picked out the ivory poire de soir fabric and rhinestone buttons. I stayed up all night with her as she made the pattern. Through the process my aunt gave me morsels of wisdom about marriage and life. So in the end, the dress was more than something I wore on my wedding day, it was symbolic of my rites of passage from a single girl to a wife.
Will my daughter want to wear the dress when she gets older? Perhaps not. I mean she doesn't exist yet, so of course we don't have an answer to such things. But I do want to give her the option. And if she doesn't maybe my niece will or who knows...a future daughter-in-law perhaps?
The point is in this world people don't put a lot of time into much. And ritual and tradition are about as rare as a 5 year celebrity marriage. So, for me, the hassle of storing my dress on a bust in my closet until a worthy cause arises is a small duty.

Redwood Shores, CA, United States, 2014/02/06 - With Oracle Solaris 11 Running on Pluribus Networks Freedom Server-Switches, Customers Can Take Advantage of Oracle Solaris Capabilities and Stability Across OpenStack Compute, Network and Storage - Oracle.com. NYSE, NASDAQ: ORCL
The cooperation between Oracle and Pluribus Networks is designed to help create unique customer value by offering customers the ability to use OpenStack plug-ins to manage their cloud environments based on Oracle Solaris and Pluribus Networks Netvisor. This builds on the newly completed certification of Oracle Solaris 11 on Pluribus Networks Freedom series Server-Switch platform, which is already allowing customers to take advantage of the unique performance, scalability, efficiency and security advantages of Oracle Solaris in their network infrastructure.
Oracle has entered into a technology access agreement with Pluribus Networks, a pioneer in open, bare-metal SDN/NFV application infrastructure, enabling Pluribus Networks to conduct development and testing on a number of different software-defined networking (SDN) technologies that will be managed by OpenStack technologies, such as a distributed virtual switch. Pluribus Networks is a Gold level member of Oracle PartnerNetwork (OPN).
Oracle and Pluribus Networks will be collaborating to enable customers to manage Oracle Solaris 11 compute nodes via the OpenStack Nova plug-in, as well as Pluribus Networks switches via the OpenStack Neutron plug-in and Oracle Solaris-based ZS3 Series storage via Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance Cinder Driver, taking full advantage of the stability, efficiency, performance, scalability and security of Oracle Solaris.
Pluribus Networks has recently certified Oracle Solaris 11 on their Freedom series Server-Switch platform running the Netvisor bare-metal network hypervisor hosted on the Oracle Solaris 11 operating system.
Running Oracle Solaris 11 on Pluribus Networks switches means that virtual networking services can be dynamically re-provisioned from compute nodes to networking to help maximize throughput performance, while minimizing latency. This will provide an ideal platform for the SDN features that are scheduled to be available in the next update of Oracle Solaris 11.
Oracle announced last month that it plans to integrate OpenStack capabilities into Oracle Solaris. When the Pluribus Networks development and testing work is completed, customers will be able to take full advantage of the enterprise class innovations in Oracle Solaris 11 including scalability, high availability, high performance file systems, Oracle Solaris Zones virtualization and network services in a converged OpenStack orchestrated and managed Compute, Network and Storage environment.
Since the release of Oracle Solaris 11 over 4,000 customers have gone into production and many of them are deploying applications in Oracle Solaris-based clouds. With the integration of OpenStack components in Oracle Solaris, customers will be able to expand their usage of Oracle Solaris in new cloud deployments. OpenStack also provides an ideal platform for OPN members like Pluribus Networks who are interested in providing a seamless management experience between Oracle Solaris and their products.
Supporting Quotes
With the release of Oracle Solaris 11, as well as Oracles SPARC T5, M5 and M6 servers, we are now seeing the Oracle Solaris/SPARC ecosystem expanding rapidly. OpenStack is providing us with the ideal platform to expand our relationships with companies like Pluribus Networks and Im very excited to see Oracle Solaris 11 now running on Pluribus Networks Freedom Server-Switches. This means customers can now take full advantage of the unique performance, scalability, efficiency and security features of Oracle Solaris in their network infrastructure, said Markus Flierl, vice president, Oracle Solaris. Running Oracle Solaris on compute, network and storage infrastructures means we can provide fine-grain end-to-end observability, which is unprecedented in the industry, and also offer customers the ability to enforce end-to-end SLAs. Combined with the deep integration between the Oracle Database and Oracle Solaris we can solve the most complex problems that customers are facing today.
We are very excited about expanding our relationship with Oracle, said Kumar Srikantan, Chief Executive Officer, Pluribus Networks. Oracle Solaris 11 is providing us with unique performance, scalability, efficiency and security features that help us differentiate our products. For instance, we can now take advantage of Oracle Solaris 11 security features like the immutable root file systems and ZFS encryption."
