JUNEAU, Wis. - Trying to raise money for a handful of charities, a Beloit man in his wheelchair is traveling 170 miles all the way to Lambeau Field.
The man just left Janesville last week and has already logged about 50 miles as he embarks on the journey few would be willing to endure.
Dennis Schultze is just about to Juneau, Wisconsin as of Thursday. He's only about 120 miles away from Lambeau field as he continues to average about five miles a day in his wheelchair. He's already making better time than he thought he would.
Schultz is trying to raise money for cancer and Alzheimer's research, the march of dimes, and LEDR, which is a police benefit fund that helps departments and families cope with the loss of an officer. It's the fact that Dennis is making this journey with just one leg, that so many are stepping up for him. Already along the way people are giving him free hotel stays, lunches, new tennis shoes and all the support one man can handle.
Dennis says one man who asked for his autograph along the way completely reinforces why he is making the trip.
"He come in with a paper and sat down and come up and says would you sign this for me. And that was kind of awkward you know. But after we talked, he was a 10 year cancer survivor and I touched his heart... There is good in this world man I see it, I live it every day."
Dennis just visited a nursing home on Valentine's Day and dropped off some flowers for strangers. It was there that a woman in a wheelchair told him he's inspiring her to get out of her chair. From raising money for charities, to just inspiring others Dennis will continue his trek for about another 30 days until he makes it the final destination of Lambeau Field.
For all of the details about Dennis's trek and the charities he's trying to raise funds for check out the link below.

Nikon D70 Review
1 Introduction
|2 Next
The D70, announced on 28th January 2004 is Nikon's answer to the new sub-$1,000 digital SLR market, its clear competition being the Canon EOS 300D (Digital Rebel) announced last August. The D70 is revealed by Nikon exactly two years since the D100, the D70 appears to share quite a lot with its sibling including a six megapixel CCD sensor and Multi-CAM900 auto focus system. The D70 also appears to have quite a bit going for it which are the primary complaints for EOS 300D owners, flash exposure compensation being one of them.

Back in 2004 this was THE camera to get, I wanted one so bad & couldn't afford it, as it was like $1300. I did get a Nikon D50 kit for $500 the next year. Now to think that for $200 in 2017 I got a Nikon D3300 kit? I wish the price of gas, housing and medical care worked like that.
I look at the 16x20s on my wall made with my 2004 D70, I'm amazed at how 6mp still looks so good. But then again, I have great 11x14s made with the Olympus C2100UZ and my Sony DSC-F717 that preceded it.
I still own it, for the same reason as others. It marked my entry into serious digital photography, and when the company I was working for in 2005 went bust, I used it to shoot weddings and family portraits to keep income coming in till I snagged a new job.
I had a more personal reason for selecting the Nikon D70 over the Canon: I owned a LOT of FD glass, and I'd inherited some nice Ai and AiS lenses from my father. At a wedding, I saw a guest shooting with a D70 and a 35mm f2 MF lens on a D70. When he explained that - unlike Canon - Nikon didn't orphanize its MF customers when it went AF, the choice was easy.
Moved to D300, bought a 5DMarkII for video - least reliable camera I've ever owned - sold it and bought a cheaper D7000 that made great video. Now, I'm all Sony...
Great article. this was my first DSLR. I still have and use it as a second camera and my boys use it with the original battery which still lasts for weeks! I bought it on size and fit as I was moving from OM 2 film cameras. The Canon 300D was too small and fidly. I stepped up to full frame with a Sony Alpha 7, another classic (in the making), rather than a D800 as I thought the D800 to large and heavy.
I still own a D70 and have no intention of ever selling. The sharpness is incredible even today. While I've upgraded to D7000 for many reasons, including low light, if I have good lighting, such as outdoors, the D70 will always come through as grand as any crop sensor to date!
Recently the shutter went out on my beloved D7000, trying to decide between D7200/D500. Dusted off my D70s to use until I decide and was amazed at the color and the quality. Forgotten about things like tone curves... Reala (?) etc. Black and White conversion are hands down much better than any other camera I have owned.
I will soon replace my D7000, but after using my D70s for a couple of months, I am wondering why I kept wasting time and money on my other mirrorless cameras.
My first DSLR. The one that started my passion for photogprahy. I will also have a soft spot for this one 🤗
very nice camera.
I have a d70 and love it, but I need a camera with higher megapixels (14 mp or higher), could anyone tell me which of the newer Nikons would be the modern equivalent of a d70.
I have Nikon D3200 and I use it for landscape photography and I can get great shot comparable with today 10,000 Dollar expensive cameras.
if you want just more megapixel and don't shoot action / birds D3200 is best you can get. if you wanna action too than maybe D5300 also can almost give what you want.
I still love to shooting with my D40 and my D50 and my D200 in my free times. and I use my D810 only when I want to print my pic's. this is one of shots with my Nikon D50
If you dont want to participate in Megapixel race created by Camera Makers & need a camera for photography not for "Bells & whistles" which you are not going to use anyway then this is the camera for you.Nowadays we are paying for features which stay unused & has no direct impact on improving our skills to create a great shot because great shot come from great imaginations & experience not cameras.
Had this DSLR since 2004 and I still can't get enough of it. It feels so much more solid than any reasonably priced offerings of modern day. And the kit lens...what a fantastic kit lens! Reaches longer and has a faster aperture than any kit lens of today. A true workhorse combination.
I have one - I wouldn't say it feels more solid. It's about as composite (plastic)-ish as any other well built Nikon (or other brand). My ex-GF dropped her sister's D70 years ago; it cracked down the middle and stopped working, so they're not exactly bulletproof. :)
I think thant as of January 2005 it's one of the most popular cameras of all time and usually in short supply. Since stores can sell as many of them as Nikon can ship no one has any reason to have to discount. I've never seen a discount from anyone, and all the discounts I've seen are from scam operations who never really have any to ship. I just got on a waiting list and my camera appeared. Be very wary of fraud over the internet. Adorama and B&H and Amazon are fine, but be careful of the thousands of others offering these.

Michael Gove faces pressure from parents over holiday ban
A GROUP of parents is mounting a legal challenge to Michael Gove's ban on children being taken out of school during term time.
With many families forced to pay inflated prices for a half-term holiday this week, more than 200,000 parents have signed a petition demanding a change.
They are being led by mother-of-three Karen Wilkinson, from Bath, Somerset, who said it was not just parents looking for cheaper holidays who are being penalised by the new rules.
She said: "Requests to take children out of school for weddings, to visit elderly grandparents who live abroad or even in some cases when doctors have sanctioned the request because it's in the child's interest, are all being turned down."
Education Secretary Mr Gove scrapped a policy last September that allowed schools to grant up to 10 days holiday per year in "special circumstances".
Children can now only be taken out of school in "exceptional circumstances".
School is important but there are other things in life
The latest government figures show that in last autumn's term, however, more than 24,000 pupils skipped classes each day.
John Hemming, chairman of the Parents Want A Say campaign which is behind the petition and plans to launch a judicial review, described the current situation as "untenable".
The Liberal Democrat MP said schools were issuing "almost a blanket refusal" on requests.
In one case to be heard as part of the legal action, the parents of a 10-year-old boy with Asperger's syndrome were refused permission to take him abroad before the summer holidays in July despite him becoming anxious in heat and noisy situations.
If they go ahead with the trip in June, they face a fixed penalty notice of £120 per child.
The group is looking to get the regulations quashed under the European Convention on Human Rights, arguing the restriction interferes with family life.
Mr Hemming said: "The law is that schools have to work out what is best for the child but they are just saying 'No'.
"The current situation is untenable. Michael Gove's rules regulates what happens in the family, whether it is a funeral or another family matter.
"School is important but there are other things in life."
An Education Department spokesman said: "Poor attendance at school can have a hugely damaging effect and children who attend school regularly are nearly four times more likely to achieve five or more good GCSEs than those who are regularly absent."
Two in three parents worry about the extra cost of their children being at home during school half-term, a study found.
Families spend £65 more on food and day trips during the week-long break, which is equivalent to £505million nationally, according to the poll by supermarket Morrisons.

National Insurance(32 Posts)
What do I have to do as a nanny about national insurance. Anything? Or do I not earn enough so don't have to bother about it?
Xenia I don't think you use the phrase "I'm right" to mean the same thing as I do
It doesn't mattter whether they are called au pairs or anything else, and it doesn't matter whether they are in sole charge of children or not, if they are staff employed for domestic duties living with the family then the NMW does not apply to them.
"Also 48 hour maximum working week unless you've opted out of it and seems to exceed that too."
No, again domestic staff (this time whether live-in or live-out) are exempt from that requirement.
There is no prohibition regarding au pairs of any nationality and sole charge. The only existing legislation relates to working hours and that's on A2 nationals. You could call someone an au pair, have them work 50 hours (and pay them accordingly) within the spirit of cultural exchange etc if, for example, that sole charge covered 2 overnight shifts where the au pair is technically working and in sole charge but it doesn't impact on their ability to take language lessons etc. But this isn't an au pair role.
I do understand someone consciously deciding to take low paid role in order to gain experience they perceive as valuable but that needs to be weighed up carefully.
So Mr A you are saying I'm right aren't you? The au pairs not in sole charge living with the family don't need to be paid the minimum wage.
So if sole charge it looks like roughly depending on her age and if in UK etc needs to be paid about £6 an hour x 50 hours = £300 a week less that £33 = 267 but may be the 50 hours includes a lunch break and is not all time worked? If it were then that leaves £267 and she is paid 150 so may be could claim about £100 for every week worked so far in back pay perhaps when she leaves?
So if done a year the leavingp resent or legal claim might be £5200 from the family. Keep all records of hours, contracts, sums paid right through the time with the family.
Also 48 hour maximum working week unless you've opted out of it and seems to exceed that too.
I suggest you look for a better job.
You are being exploited.
Gum tree, childcare uk nanny job etc.
Sure you will find something quickly where your employer doesn't want to take the piss out of you. Good luck!
I think there are in relation to the minimum wage for au pairs
No, not specifically. However there is an exemption from the requirements for the National Minimum Wage for workers in certain conditions where "the worker resides in the family home of the employer for whom he works, [and] the worker is not a member of that family, but is treated as such, in particular as regards to the provision of accommodation and meals and the sharing of tasks and leisure activities". Most au pairs and many live-in nannies fit this description, although interpretation of "sharing of leisure activities" is somewhat troublesome.
but sole charge is not an au pair anyway so that is not relevant.
There is no legal definition of an au pair in the UK. The only regulations where the term is used is in relation to the Accession Worker Scheme for Bulgarian and Romanian nationals where "au pair" is one of the limited number of occupations that such a national can work in. However there is no definition of what constitutes an "au pair" and as "domestic employee in a private household" is another such occupation with exactly the same treatment, and "au pairs" are clearly a subset of this category, there is little relevance to any restriction.
I wonder how they work out how much the benefit of free board and lodging is worth in working out if someone is paid more than the minimum wage?
This is called the National Minimum Wage Accomodation Offset and it is set arbitrarily at £4.82 a day or £33.74 a week. No other offset is permitted, including any for food or any other aspect of board, however for workers that fall within the exemption mentioned above this is irrelevant.
This indicates the circumstances under which you are exempted from the minimum wage and the minimum wage levels for different ages. This says that a deduction can be made of £33.74 for accommodation per week, but no other benefit (e.g. your Oyster Card or food can count towards it). There is also a helpline which may be able to determine whether you should be paid the minimum wage.
I think there are in relation to the minimum wage for au pairs, but sole charge is not an au pair anyway so that is not relevant.
I wonder how they work out how much the benefit of free board and lodging is worth in working out if someone is paid more than the minimum wage?
It's my first job as a nanny, I've had a previous non childcare job, and I have a qualification in childcare. It is a bit low but as I didn't really know what I was doing when I took the job I didn't know it was low. I guess you learn from your mistakes, but it's good experience in the long wrong. I'm not an au pair no all of the 50 hours are sole charge of the children. It does include an Oyster card too.
No there are no special rules about au pairs for tax.
If you are an au pair there may be some special rules for that about tax.
"It's low because it includes accommodation, no bills and all food included whilst on duty."
The going rate for someone with no experience in this kind of role is £200-£250. In addition the employer would normally provide either a car (unlikely for someone under 21 or even under 25) or a bus pass, and a mobile phone with £10 or so a month top-up, both to be used while on duty but available for occasional private use.
"I have a national insurance number, I'm British."
In that case it is very important that they properly report your earnings under PAYE, otherwise you are not building up entitlement to any state pension. The fact that they do not give you a payslip makes me suspect that they are not intending to report your earnings. It is currently impossible to check this because these returns are only made annually, but from April they need to be made each time you are paid.
I think the best thing for you to do would be to contact a Citizens Advice Bureau, or possibly ACAS and talk through the situation.
For my first live in Nanny Job I was paid £320 a week plus my tax/NI for doing 55hrs.
I had my own room with ensuite, didn't have to pay any bills and I had all food and drink provided 24/7. I also received an Oyster card that they topped up each week.
That was 6 years ago and I know that all my live in nanny friends get between £350-£400 now.
I only had 1 previous part time nanny job under my belt at that point.
£140 seems very,very low even for a first time job.I would check that they're paying your tax for you as they should be.
Do you look after the children on your own for 50 hours, or is the Mother there most of the time?
How much experience do you have? Is this your first job?
It's low because it includes accommodation, no bills and all food included whilst on duty. I don't get a pay slip but I do have a contract. I have a national insurance number, I'm British.
No tax or NI is payable at £130pw. However at this level (above £107pw), the employer should be registered for PAYE and reporting your earnings because as others have mentioned you earn National Insurance credits towards the basic state pension, as well as jobseekers allowance and other benefits.
You should receive a payslip each week, and it is normal (although not mandatory) to show your National Insurance number on the payslip. Has your employer asked you for your NI number?
No I thought not. They are breaking the law.
Do you have a written contract? Or a written Statement of Employment Particulars? No I thought not - they are breaking the law.
What paid holidays are you entitled to? Is it at least 5.6 weeks (although 1.6 weeks of these can be bank holidays)? They may be breaking the law.
Breaking the law regarding employment is a form of exploitation. Paying £130 plus board and lodging for 50 hours work is also a form of exploitation, even if it is your first job and you are young (I presume you are at least 18, and that the 50 hours is full-on work and not just babysitting while kids are in bed).
Now for practical things - do you have a National Insurance number? What nationality are you?
That's a very low wage but if you feel happy and it's a job which is gaining you experience (so you consciously chose to accept it) then it may be worth the short term low income. I agree you need to be living as part of the family though.
Do you think things aren't above board?
You earn £130 a week for 50 hours work?
Paying NIC is also important for being able to claim some benefits - so is important well before you retire.
You sound like an employee to me. Your employers should therefore be paying NIC and PAYE for you. If they are not paying your NIC you may not be able to claim your full state pension when you retire - it is therefore very important that they do pay your NIC. I am not sure if they will need to make deductions for employee's NIC too.
Do you live as part of the family? Eat meals with the family and socialise with the family? If you live as part of the family then you are exempted from the minimum wage, but if not then you should be paid the minimum wage with a small deduction for your accommodation link.
Erm okay, I'm only asking as someone's mentioned I should have sorted it out already, have been with the family for a few months now. It's my first job working as a nanny yes and I am young. I work about 50 hours a week.
You should still get a payslip even if below the threshold because you need records eg if you earned more than the minimum.
Would I be right in saying that your job role is like that of an au-pair, helping out around the home, and that you are quite young (such as under 25) and that this may be your first job? Your pay is rather low for a nanny, thus you may be more of an au-pair, though may not be doing language classes.
How many hours of work would you say you do?
Not sure. MrAnchovy or someone else in the know may be along at some point, they will know more about what happens in the situation were you earn that amount per week.
What has prompted you to ask about National Insurance?
If you are self-employed you should pay your own NI contributions either 6 monthly or weekly by direct debit. If you earn under the threshold you can apply for a small earnings exemption where you won't need to pay. If you are employed (PAYE) it's up to your employer to pay your contributions. Either way you should know as if you aren't paying then you won't be entitled to maternity allowance or basic state pension.
Hope this helps.

Met Police apologies for Scotland Yards failings over 'VIP abuse' inquiries
A FANTASIST who falsely accused establishment figures of murder and child sex abuse was last night facing prosecution for lying to police.
Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe has apologised to Lord Bramall, Harvey Proctor and the widow of Leon Brittan
Known only as "Nick", he is being investigated for attempting to pervert the course of justice after making up claims about VIPs including former Services chief Lord Bramall.
His unfounded allegations triggered Operation Midland, which lasted 17 months and cost £2million but ended in no arrests.
The investigation into Nick was revealed as Scotland Yard released the findings of a devastating report into its own errors during the probe.
The report by former High Court judge Sir Richard Henriques identified 43 significant police failings and said the men targeted by it had suffered "a profoundly damaging effect" on their names and reputations.
It is difficult, if not impossible, to articulate the emotional turmoil and distress that those persons and their families have had to endure
Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe today publicly apologised to Lord Bramall for the trauma he suffered.
Sir Bernard further apologised to the widow of former Home Secretary Leon Brittan and ex-Tory MP Harvey Proctor, who were also caught up in police inquiries.
The report by Sir Richard concluded that "inconsistencies" in Nick's allegations meant Operation Midland had been unnecessary.
Former Services chief Lord Bramall
The judge said the whole probe should have been over speedily "without those named by Nick learning of it".
Sir Richard said: "These men are all victims of false allegations and yet they remain treated as men against whom there was insufficient evidence to prosecute them.
"It is difficult, if not impossible, to articulate the emotional turmoil and distress that those persons and their families have had to endure."
Sir Richard said the worst police failings included misleading a district judge to obtain search warrants, announcing Nick's claims were "credible and true" without testing them and helping him apply for compensation.
Ex-Tory MP Harvey Proctor
Following his report five officers are being investigated by the Independent Police Complaints Commission for potential breaches of standards.
Midland was launched in 2014 after Nick accused figures including the late exPrime Minister Sir Edward Heath of being part of a VIP sex ring.
MP Mr Proctor said the impact of being accused was "irreversible".
Former Home Secretary Leon Brittan
Deputy Assistant Commissioner Steve Rodhouse, who led the investigation, insisted he did not believe he or any of the officers involved had committed misconduct.
In a separate inquiry, Lord Brittan was falsely accused of rape by a woman in 1967.
Sir Richard criticised police for failing to inform him he had been cleared before he died last year.

A 2015 Oscar nominee and Annie Award winner, the highly successful short film "The Dam Keeper" is on its way to becoming a feature-length film that's destined to be an Oscar-winning animation. Designed by former Pixar art directors, the film has been in the works for some time, and Fox Animation recently announced that they are teeming with animation studio Tonko House to distribute the movie worldwide. Though a release date has yet to be announced, the graphic novels and animated TV series coming out next year will help make the wait less painful.
Here's everything you need to know about the film, the transition from short to feature and what a full-length version of "The Dam Keeper" might look like:
Meet 'The Dam Keeper'
"The Dam Keeper" is a beautifully animated and incredibly moving film about young, hardworking pig who operates the windmill that keeps the dark fog away from the town. However, despite his important work, Pig is ceaselessly bullied at school, until the day that clever and artistic Fox arrives, and everything changes. Apart from brief voice overs at the start and end of the 18-minute film, "The Dam Keeper" is dialogue free, letting the lovely soundtrack and impressive animation speak for itself.
Directed by former Pixar art directors Robert Kondo, who lent his talent to Ratatouille and Monsters University, and Daisuke "Dice" Tsutsumi, whose impressive resume includes Ice Age, Toy Story 3 and Horton Hears a Who, it's no surprise that "The Dam Keeper" makes exceptional use of light and color as a part of the storytelling. Featuring over 8,000 paintings, the short film is a magnificent combination of hand-drawn and computer-generated animation.
From Short To Feature
The decision to turn "The Dam Keeper" into a feature-length movie was not made lightly, according to directors Kondo and Tsutsumi:
"The core of this story originates from our personal anecdote. We initially wanted to avoid going back to the world of 'The Dam Keeper' just because of the success of the short. But when we realized where this feature adaptation story came from, we felt it was important for us to share this story with the world as Tonko House's first feature film."
While most films start out with the intent of becoming either features or shorts, it's not uncommon for a short film to inspire a feature-length movie. Popular films such as District 9, Saw and Evil Dead all started out as shorts. It has also been done for children's movies; Tim Burton's Frankenweenie is a perfect example.
Plot, character and overall aesthetic and design will likely carry over from the short, but the feature film will be a 3D CG #animation and will feature talking characters. In order to achieve a smooth transition, the directors have been collaborating with Japanese studios that specialize in 3D animation. If the initial animation tests are any indication, the movie will be both adorable and visually stunning:
What To Expect
Going from 18 minutes to a 120-minute film means that a lot more will have to be added to the story. All that has been reported so far is that the film will take place two years after the short, and that the characters and world will be further developed. However, there are some obvious directions the film could take.
Since "The Dam Keeper" was all about bullying and friendship, these themes will likely continue to play a central role in the feature film. This also means that it will likely pack the same emotional punch as the short did and will be just as heartbreakingly beautiful.
Some questions were left unanswered in the film, such as the origins of the mysterious fog and how the dam and windmill were built. There's also the question of what happened to Pig's parents, but as these will be covered in the graphic novels, the film could take a different direction.
A mystery or adventure will likely form the core of the plot, as seems to be the norm in children's movies. Perhaps there's a new threat to the town that Pig and his friends will have to find a way to defeat, or perhaps they journey beyond their town to explore other parts of the world. Either way, it's sure to be great fun.
An Oscar Winner?
With gorgeous animation, a plot that hits you right in the feels and talented directors at the helm, a feature-length version of "The Dam Keeper" is guaranteed to be a success. Though it's still way too early to tell, it seems more than likely that it can accomplish what the short film could not, winning the Academy Award for best animated feature. At the very least, it's definitely a movie worth keeping an eye on.

Clyde & Co has closed its Los Angeles (LA) office and launched in San Francisco with a raid on US firm Duane Morris for a 10-lawyer litigation team.
The move sees the firm's LA lawyers, including partner Kevin Sutherland, join the San Francisco office to consolidate Clyde's West Coast practice.
Insurance disputes partner James Burns said costs were a factor in the firm's decision to merge the offices, but not the major reason.
"It seemed more sensible to have one bigger office of 20-plus lawyers as opposed to two offices of 10 lawyers, as it gives us a stronger presence," said Burns. "San Francisco has a lot of dotcom businesses and trendy architects who buy insurance from the London market, so need legal advice."
This is why the four new partners – William Casey, Joan D'Ambrosio, Savannah Sellman and Andrew Wanger – already have Lloyd's of London syndicates, including Beazley and Hiscox, on their books.
A spokesman for Duane Morris confirmed the departures and wished them well.

It has been a while since I have had time to just wander around taking photos of sims so when I had some time today I decided to have a 'me' moment. It turned out to be a lot of moments, but it was fun. I have been doing some fashion shots at this sim recently so I decided to go and start there.
I have 5 shots from this sim but I will only show 1 picture at a time. This means you can enjoy one aspect of the sim and not have too much thrown at you all at once!
The sim is called Maison de L'amitie and combines an Mediterranean steeped village with a gorgeous beach and sea vista. If you are a blogger wanting to use this sim you can join the group and be given rez rights so that makes it easy for poseballs or pose platforms.

First things first….What is composting?
"Composting is nature's process of recycling decomposed organic materials into a rich soil known as compost. Anything that was once living will decompose. Basically, backyard composting is an acceleration of the same process nature uses. By composting your organic waste you are returning nutrients back into the soil in order for the cycle of life to continue. Finished compost looks like soil–dark brown, crumbly and smells like a forest floor.
Types of composting:
- Backyard composting — If you have a yard and a balance of browns (fallen leaves or straw) and greens (grass clippings and food scraps), you have all you need to make compost.
- Worm composting (vermicomposting) — If you have a tiny yard or live in an apartment or have an abundance of food scraps, this type of composting is for you.
- Grasscycling If you have grass clippings and don't want to use them in a compost pile you can leave them on the lawn to decompose. Read about grasscycling for tips, techniques and benefits."
(Thanks, http://www.recycleworks.org/compost/)
Folks, I LOVE the idea of composting, I really do! But it took me a while to get into it because I live in a city that has limited composting options for residents (Los Angeles, CA). That being said, now that I do compost regularly, I highly encourage you to start composting in one of the following ways. If I can compost on my small condo patio using a few pots and some worms–you can give it a try too!
Composting Options (not exhaustive):
- If you own or have access and full use of your own yard, locate a small space away from any dwelling windows that you regularly open. Start with a composting container. There are several varieties, but choose the one that is best for the amount of raw materials you will be adding to the bin and the results you are looking for post decomposition.
- Pot (open air) composting. This is the one I am going to focus on, because I know more about this from experience. This is also best for small apartment or condo living.
- Worm Composting. I do this in my open air containers, but plan to start a worm box after the workshop that I recently attended facilitated by the City of Glendale.
How does composting factor in to living a life less wasteful?
Food scraps make up an overwhelming amount of the items sent to landfills. Unfortunately, because of the toxic nature of landfills they are not breaking down in ways that support generative production (such as rich compost soil). These scraps actually co-mingle with plastics, oils, animal bi-products, and other nastiness to produce dangerous gaseous emissions that contribute to the multitude of things negatively effecting climate change.
However, if families simply establish small/manageable composting practices in their own homes, they can reduce the amount of food scraps that get sent to landfills exponentially. For example, before I started composting, Corey and I would easily fill a garbage bag with compostable food scraps and garbage scraps each week. Things like melon rind, egg shells, coffee filters/grounds, and paper products are particularly bulky items. Since we started composting, not only have I not had to purchase soil to support my patio garden (another post, for another day), we have also reduced out trash to about half a normal garbage bag each week. Ultimately, these scraps are not being wasted in landfills, but repurposed into rich compost soil that can be used for yourself or gifted to friends with yards/gardens etc.
In the next few posts I will be focusing on things that have come up in my own composting experience so stay tuned! Things that will be covered in the coming posts/days/weeks:
- Open Air Patio Composting: the set up and the "how-tos"
- Worm Composting and ALL (or most of) its benefits
- Compost Troubleshooting
- White worms: Where do they come from and what do they do?
- Composting Myth Busted: Shooting down all of your reservations about getting starting
And perhaps some more things as they arise. Feel free to post questions, ideas, and share your own experiences. My rule has been trial and error, so I definitely don't claim to be an expert (at all!).

Democratic societies face a dilemma. Global economic integration produces a need for global political integration. Without it, national, state, and local governments are under pressure to forego environmental protection and social programs in order to be competitive. At the same time, global governance presents problems because of its scale and its inaccessibility to citizens. This book describes the consequences of this dilemma and proposes ways of dealing with it.
This is a very ambitious project. Paehlke characterizes the key features of the contemporary international political economy, projects where it is going, points to the problems associated with it, outlines their causes and consequences, and develops ways of bringing it to heel in the interests of social justice and environmental values. Much of the originality of the book lies in its moderation. Paehlke does not celebrate unrestrained economic globalization, nor is he an unremitting critic. Rather, he wants to fix it, or channel it in the right direction. He brings a distinctive voice to bear on some major debates about where the world is going. - John S.

Unanswered: Parallel Execution of Inserts
Hi All,
We have a table that has to store around 80-100 million records. The table is partitioned by a column called Market Code. There are 30 partitions each corresponding to one MRKT_CD.
The source of this table is a join between 3-4 other tables. We are loading this table through SQLPLUS in UNIX script.The script basically iterates through a list of 30 market codes and loads data partition by partition.
My question is, is there a way to trigger these inserts in parallel since they are all going to write into different partitions? Currently each insert is sequential.
I'm not too sure how DB specific my question is so I'm going to post this question on the UNIX forum too.
Greatly appreciate any help. Thanks

Finding a domain name thats available to purchase for $9.00 and then turning around and selling it for $9,000 is NOT easy.For instance a domain like basketballcourt.com Theyre out there, but I went automated from manual about a year ago. I used to search all night… Id start with a list, and I would scour the web.. Id appraise, look down the list of availables and grab them up, then drop them on the marketplaces and watch them sell for more than I bought them for..When you are scouring, the one thing that you WISH you had was a list generator.. a button you could press, appraisal, the whole nine years all hooked together so you werent going back and forth, getting eye strain..I mean you know the reward is significant.. selling your first domain is amazing. The lump sum payment.. Nothing like that.But the process to find them is strenuous, it really is like you are MINING for GOLD. And so I created DomainerElite 1.0, then after a year of proven success, the PRO version was born..

Unanswered: SQL Server Error: 10060-login sa-connection drops
We have an issue on our network which drops the connection to SQL2000 and we have to login again using SQL login sa - most of the time it will reconnect immediately or we will get the error msg below.
This is very annoying as some of our software needs to run 24hrs uninterrupted for testing purposes.
I've tried named pipes and that doesn't stop the problem, and I'm using Server Login (SA) authentication model. I've also noticed that some of the Internet access is problematic (i.e. "can't find DSN for Google" type errors, "connection timed out" type errors.
Does anybody know what and/or how to fix this ?
It would be much appreciated !

Virus writers with the god complex
Blog status: Work in Progress
Before the arrival of Windows 95, the creators of self-replicating malicious code were deeply concerned about the potential consequences of the new OS on the future of their activity. After the historical generation leap from DOS to the windows-based GUI, however, virus writers gained new confidence in their abilities, expanding their horizons and developing inclinations that occasionally turned into true megalomania. Some of the VXers from the Nineties had the god complex, and they didn't hide it at all.
Let's take, for instance, J. S. Bach, a member of the crew known as CodeBreakers that deals with the topic in the fifth number of the eponymous e-zine released on June 1999: the existence of computer viruses is a necessity of the digital world, J. S. Bach suggested, because there is the need for an agent entrusted with the task of regulating the otherwise limitless flow of information. The VXer referred to the usual comparison between computer viruses and biological viruses, an idea that the author had already discussed in the previous CodeBreakers number talking about artificial intelligence evolution applied to malicious code.
"When a certain event in nature takes place", J. S. Bach wrote, nature itself makes sure to create "a safety valve against the event's overflow." An event is balanced by a counter event, so nature can express its dualism between life and death, white and black, male and female. Unlike nature, the flow of information is an artificial event that cannot be balanced "naturally" by a proper safety valve, the VXer stated, a phenomenon that forces digital addicts to spend "18 hours" per day in front of the monitor.
In J. S. Bach's strongly manichaeist tale, computer viruses obviously act as that safety valve tasked with containing the spread of information, a counterbalance which is as much artificial as the world of digital communication is. The virus writer plays god in a way, J. S. Bach wrote, trying to contain the restless flow of data within the constrains of the self-replicating software technology. And what about the users unlucky enough to suffer the aftermaths of the payload of a destructive malware like Magistr? The VXer said to be sorry from a personal point of view, nevertheless he was aware of the fact that the "directive" for limiting the information flow is a priority goal.
The article by J. S. Bach is interesting because it highlights the ethical reasoning behind the creation of viruses and malware during the Nineties, a twisted ethic that will soon be replaced by a further, and perhaps final transformation of the malicious software scene. Following the boom of mass-mailing worms during the first years of the new millennium, VXers with the god complex have made way for malware authors dressed in suit. Nowadays "pure" self-replicating viruses are uncommon, malicious code is dumb and remotely controlled but the possibilities for making money with or without a ransom are endless. Just like the flow of information J. S. Bach was talking about.

Hello, I am having trouble making a unique page template for my website.
I want to have a parent page show all the number of comments on each of its child pages.
This is the current state of my page:
I want to have it show the number of comments on *other* pages.
Like this: http://i.imgur.com/eOvEauq.jpg
So each of those numbers will be the numbers of comments on
Is that even possible?
I know this code exists get_comments_number(), but I am not sure what I should write in between the parenthesis for it to show the number of comments on other pages.
And lastly, could I do this with a shortcode? I find them to be very useful and easy to use.
Hi lavillenue,
Check out the codex page on get_comments_number: http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/get_comments_number and just comments_number: http://codex.wordpress.org/comments_number
The code needs to be inside a loop but yes it should be possible.
The topic 'Page template with number of comments in other pages' is closed to new replies.

but the shoes take so long to dry
Yesterday was the Merced Crit down in ... um, some central valley town.
It's not a course I'll do again until they take out that alley-way with the brick wall. After scraping a guy into the ER last year, I said "no-mas" to that course. But, I sho'nuff can hoopla up those riders diggin out there in the rain.
Apparently, CalGiant's big-bad Reaney stormed away from the field early and left them all chawing at the remnants. This dude is such a big engine. You just never let him get an inch in a race, or he'll show you nothing but his backside the rest of the day.
CVC had guys to chase, but it never came back. And though Sasser launched deep to try and track Reaney down ... he had to bag another second. That's all right, he'll uncork one soon enough.
I'm interested to hear how the women's event went. Anyone with details, send 'em my way.

These images have become such a huge part of our racing experience. They offer us tangible, emotive recordings of our experiences on the bike. These photographers capture our moments of joy and pain ... doing us all a wonderful service ~ offering us ... lifelong reminders of how we drank from the fountain.

"Diagnosed with bladder cancer"
About: City Hospital campus / Urology City Hospital campus Urology NG5 1PB
Posted by Big456 (as ),
My diagnosis of bladder cancer and the treatment I received from Nottingham City Hospital was very professional and caring. I was very impressed by the short waiting times and the standard of care generally. The only short coming was perhaps a lack of follow up or sufficiently quick after procedures were carried out. I had to phone the hospital personally to get results. Overall, very good!

The newborn nursery at Kingwood Medical Center offers all the support healthy infants need after their arrival in this world. Experienced nurses and physicians keep an eye on your baby in a secure, caring environment whenever he or she is not with you.
At Kingwood Medical Center's postpartum unit, new mothers can choose when and how often their babies spend time in the newborn nursery. Some mothers wish to have their babies with them in their rooms the entire time. Other mothers need uninterrupted sleep during their recovery. Our newborn nursery offers a safe and loving environment for your newborn whenever and however often you need it.
Caring for Your Newborn
Our expert nursing team will observe both you and your baby from the moment your newborn arrives. This usually involves at least a short stay for your baby in our Newborn Nursery during your immediate recovery.
As soon as you are ready, your nurse will help you care for your newborn in your room. And any time you need some extra recovery time or rest, you know that your baby will receive expert care in our nursery.
No matter where they are in our hospital, the safety and security of newborns is our top concern. Our Newborn Nursery is on the same floor as our postpartum unit (where you will be recovering) and no baby can leave that floor without our security system alerting staff.
We also use additional safety measures, such as specific employee badges and color-coded uniforms, that let us know which staff members have permission to transport infants.
Breastfeeding Support
Whether you choose to keep your newborn in your room or in the newborn nursery, our team will fully support your breastfeeding efforts.
Kingwood Medical Center is proud to have earned the Texas 10-Step designation from the Texas Department of State Health Services. The Texas 10-Step Program encourages breastfeeding as the preferred method of feeding for newborns and infants.
If you need help learning to breastfeed, our lactation specialists are available 24 hours a day to help with problems latching on, engorgement, sore nipples, under or over supply and other common challenges.
Learn more about our lactation support services at Kingwood Medical Center.

Leading consulting group with a 360° approach
Pedestrian flow analysis aims to provide insight into human movement patterns in buildings or outdoor areas. The analyses provide valuable information to building owners, architects and other decision makers.
How many elevators do we need in the building? Does it matter whether the changing rooms are located on an upper floor rather than in the basement of a hospital? Can everyone make it to the bar and back to their seats during the break in a theater performance?
Pedestrian flow analysis can help find the answers to theses questions.
Pedestrian flow analysis can be relevant in all types of buildings or places where people gather, especially in the following types of building:
The scope and level of detail of the analyses can be adapted to meet demand. Thus, the analyses can be used in the various stages of a project - from the broad analysis of competition projects to the detailed analysis of the preliminary design and detailed design.
Pedestrian flow analysis can be performed on the entire building - or on specific parts of the building.
Pedestrian flow analysis is a powerful tool based on facts rather than intuition, and unlike hand drawings, a dynamic tool that gives the full picture.
It is, for instance, possible to extract specific data from the individual queue time for lifts, tickets or other situations of queueing, an individual's total time getting from a given point in the building to another, and much more.
The analyses can be communicated visually, for instance with films, giving the building owners and other decision makers a better basis for decisions in connection with the rebuild or optimization of the infrastructures in a building.

Moonfruit. There I said it.
Now I know the inevitable question you'll be asking is "what the hell is Moonfruit?".
Well this was their problem as well and they set about addressing the issue using social media and the power of a viral campaign in a simple and succinct way in order to raise their profile and grow brand awareness.
It proved to be incredibly effective and cost them next to nothing in comparison to a traditional marketing or brand campaign of the same potential reach. Lets have a look at how they did it.
Moonfruit Company Profile
Established since 1999, MoonFruit offer a website building or creation service using a custom drag and drop online interface. Clients sign up and create an account and from there can begin building a website from there stock of designs and images. The sites exist under a sub domain of Moonfruit. A free version is available with incremental increases by month or by year depending on what package you deem to be appropriate for you and your site.
I can only speculate on how they decided to instigate this campaign but someone obviously realised that there was an opportunity here to go "global" with the brand via twitter so they brainstormed some ideals on how to make this happen and decided that a give away competition for a highly desirable product, related to their industry, that would excite the community and encourage them to grow the viral message they instigated. The product they settled on was a Mac Book Pro.
The Moonfruit Competition
The competition worked because it was simple. Very few parameters where put in place in order to qualify for the draw allowing the message to spread quite quickly and easily and the prize was obviously, very desirable. Basically they where randomly choosing 10 people from their follower base over a 7 day period to win a MacBook Pro.
The promotion simply required you to tweet as normal and include the term "#moonfruit" in your tweets and follow Moonfruit on twitter.
This happened.
The Moonfruit twitter account, quite literally, skyrocketed from 400 followers to over 35,000 followers in about 5 days and began trending on twitter as a Hot Topic. The campaign itself then began gaining off line media attention from local and national newspapers and TV stations and of course commentary from hundreds if not thousands of blogs and bloggers as they began commenting on this "phenomenon".
Heres a view over the long term with Moonfruits twitter account since the competition took place.
(Click the image to enlarge)
Now lets consider why this campaign took off and created such a ground swell so quickly. In essence the competition itself was nothing new in regards how it was formed or what it offered. Simple is best in most aspects and it worked exceedingly well in this case. Heres some other points why it worked.
- The prize was highly desirable and sexy and relatively expensive
- The rules where simple and easy to enter
- Engagement and process was immediate via Twitter
- They listened to and adapted to the "conversation" as it developed
One interesting development of the campaign was that people began to create and mention Moonfruit in more and more interesting ways, taking photos, adding it in funny phrases and working out some interesting and fun ways of adding Moonfruit to tweets by wordplay. Moonfruit adapted to this by offering an ipod to the best example, further encouraging the viral nature of the campaign.
Basically this campaign succeeded, and set the bar, for similar efforts to appear on twitter and in social networks for the future and indeed more campaigns just like it have been run and worked. I have no data to say how much revenue or profit was generated by the campaign but I would assume it would be quite substantial or conversely, it saved them a fortune in advertising and branding awareness efforts if not directly in services employed.
One interesting point was the amount of traffic (USA traffic only) which compete.com registered from the campaign in month 7. A substantial increase.
(Click the image to enlarge)
But, lets see where Moonfruit stand today. What seems to be prominent is the massive spike that the twitter campaign caused but more importantly, the two flat sections on either side of the spike serve to illustrate the long term effects of the campaign. The sites average monthly visitor count increase by around 40k per month after the campaign completed. A substantial increase on average. Lets take a punt at figuring out the potential income this has generated.
The Revenue Generated
The site traffic before the twitter campaign was 172k then after the spike the site traffic averaged at 207k. Ignoring any potential revenue generated within the spike itself and working on a pessimistic line lets say the increase was 40k new and repeat site visitors and only 1% of those people purchased the cheapest option available to them. Thats 400 purchases at a single payment of €33 annually or €4-50 monthly (prices are the same in USD) then minus the cost of the ten MacBook Pros which works out at about 9000 USD.
Taking the annual payment first: 400 x 33 = €13,200 – €9000 = €4,200
and the monthly revenue: 400 x 4-50 = €1,800 x 12 months = €21,600 – €9000 = €12,600
That's with pessimistic figures… Was the campaign worthwhile in your opinion? I think so.
The Moonfruit Campaign Results
This is their current follower count today, 6 months after the end of the campaign.
(Click the image to enlarge)
As you can see, the graph shows that MoonFruit have managed to, more or less, maintain their influx of followers, however, from the data available on the account from Twittercounter they have lost about 500 followers since the peak of the campaign. Not bad I suppose, but looking at the tweet count, its disappointing to see that they have only managed to communicate further with their followers a meagre 886 times.
Frankly that's crap and I'm surprised that it hasn't been engaged much more to continue listening and acting on their followers conversations. Only time will tell I suppose.

Unanswered: Get user id (profile name) without creating databse.
Hi all,
I have installed db2 express - C, 10.1 on my WIN 7/xp machine with user name "XYZ" which is different with logged in windows user. Now I have a java application which needed my db2 user name( i.e. "XYZ") to validate the user for creating database, so is there any command which can help me to get my objective?
Note: It may be possible that more then one user in system having administrative right can create database including administrator itself but i want to protect them by validating user with the db2 user name(i.e. "XYZ" which is profile name).
A great sincere & thanks to quick helping hands.

Dear expectant mother,
Words cannot express how grateful we are that you have chosen to give your baby the gift of a wonderful life and that you are considering us to share that life with him or her. We are eager to share our story so that we can help you fulfill your hope of finding the best home for your precious baby, and so that you may help us complete our family.
Sean and I met in 2002. During our six years of dating, we hiked through national parks, biked all around our city, and went scuba diving in the Caribbean. These years of travel and adventure helped us form an unshakable bond and get to know one another on the most intimate level. Playing with our young nephews fueled our interest in parenting, and before we were engaged, we began discussing our hopes of building our family through adoption.
In 2008, we married in a beautiful waterfront ceremony. Our family began to grow in 2009 with the adoption of our beloved cat, Lola. Then, on Christmas Day 2010, we received the best present imaginable – our daughter, Natalie. We are eternally grateful to her amazing birthmother, Paige, for giving Natalie the gift of life, and for giving us the gift of Natalie.
Ever since she was a little baby, we have spoken openly and lovingly with Natalie about how she joined our family through adoption. We enjoy keeping in touch with Paige through letters and pictures. When Natalie was 4, we took a family trip to the town in Georgia where she was born and enjoyed a park play date with Paige. Upon our arrival home, Natalie told me: "Mommy, I am the luckiest girl in the world, because Miss Paige lives close to us and we got to visit her." Natalie has expressed a desire to adopt twins when she grows up! If we have the privilege of parenting your baby, he or she will also grow up knowing about the love surrounding your decision to make an adoption plan.
Education is a priority in our family. Both of us have been fortunate to earn advanced degrees in exciting fields. Natalie attends kindergarten at a small, nurturing private school where she adores her teachers and has many friends. As our children blossom into young adults, we will encourage them to pursue higher education in a field that brings them joy, while assuring them of our unwavering love and support in whatever life path they choose. Our goal is to raise our children to become smart, strong, and independent, with the ability to think critically and creatively and the confidence to achieve their goals.
Both Sean and I are passionate about our professions which allow us to use our unique skills to help those in need. Sean is an attorney who represents disabled veterans, and I am a clinical psychologist who treats teenagers with emotional problems. We both own our own businesses with offices right around the corner from Natalie's school. We enjoy having the freedom and flexibility to be active participants in our children's daily lives.
Our family is beyond excited to welcome its newest member and finally give Natalie the sibling she has been wanting for so long. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for making the brave and loving choice of adoption for your precious baby.
Sarah & Sean

"It has been a baking hot summers day. I am sitting in my favourite swim; the lake has been motionless most of the day, apart from the odd surface ripple. As the light fades, the nature of the lake changes, activity starts as if someone has flicked a switch. The marginals start to 'knock' there are slurping noises as the carp start to feed. There is a great sense of expectancy; it is almost as good as it gets. How lucky I am to be here, immersed in nature, in one of my favourite places "The Carp Swim".
This is the moment I have been waiting for - a chance to fish my favourite lake. It's an early start and it looks like a hot day ahead. I find my favourite spot and everything looks perfect. The mist rises from the water; the sun shows its first rays and for a moment I am part of my surroundings. It is with great anticipation that I make my first cast."

It was very calming to have that break from work, take in the fresh air and enjoy the sounds and the sights of the seashore. I've been enjoying taking photos of birds lately, seagulls pit patting along the tideline or sat on groynes or fences. They make me smile how they often sit together in groups, watching the tide roll by and (maybe) sharing the news of the day.
After a more relaxed afternoon at work (although with slightly messier hair than I usually have on a work afternoon due to the onshore wind!) we then headed home in the van but had to stop again to capture the beautiful sunset. I was so glad I had my camera. We nipped into Mudeford Quay where a sailing boat provided the perfect scenery for photographs - gently lapping waves tinged with pinks and magentas, the slowly setting sun disappearing behind puffs of pastel coloured cloud. Swans and coots paddling around the banks and reeds and grasses gently swaying in the wind.
A walk slightly further around the quay found another seagull meeting...
... But I wasn't invited to the party.
I love getting home from a walk with my camera and looking through the photos on my computer. It gives me the same excitement as waiting for a film back from the photo lab - seeing if you've captured some hidden gem, a dapple of beautiful sunlight, a set of geese flying in perfect formation. Photography is such a passion of mine and a little dash of escapism, I must make an effort to get out and about with my camera more. Let me know if you go on any walks around your hometown with a camera, I'd love to see your posts!
