Fifteen-year-old Kambili's world is circumscribed by the high walls and frangipani trees of her family compound. Her wealthy Catholic father, under whose shadow Kambili lives, while generous and politically active in the community, is repressive and fanatically religious at home.
When Nigeria begins to fall apart under a military coup, Kambili's father sends her and her brother away to stay with their aunt, a University professor, whose house is noisy and full of laughter. There, Kambili and her brother discover a life and love beyond the confines of their father's authority. The visit will lift the silence from their world and, in time, give rise to devotion and defiance that reveal themselves in profound and unexpected ways. This is a book about the promise of freedom; about the blurred lines between childhood and adulthood; between love and hatred, between the old gods and the new.
"In a soft, searing voice, Adichie examines the complexities of family, faith and country through the haunted but hopeful eyes of a young girl on the cusp of womanhood. Lush, cadenced and often disconcerting, this is an accomplished first effort." - Publishers Weekly.
"This is a harsh story, almost unbearable at first, but beautifully written." - School Library Journal, recommended for adults & high school.
"This impressive first novel is redolent in its depiction of the Nigerian countryside and generates a palpable narrative tension over what's to become of Kambili and Jaja's newfound sense of freedom." - Booklist.
"Quiet, chilling, and heart wrenching, this debut novel is both a superb portrait of an unfamiliar culture and an unflinching depiction of the universal turmoil of adolescence." - Voya, recommended for young adults and up.
"The stunning denouement underscores the power of family love. Written with great sensitivity, this debut shows why Adichie has already won several awards." - Library Journal.
"Like many first-novelists, Adichie tries for too much; her portrayal of Kambili's home life is striking but provides far too incomplete a depiction of Papa. Her portrait of Nigeria is fascinating but fragmented. Auntie Ifeoma and the cousins are likable enough but not memorable. Nonetheless, with Kambili the author has created a compelling narrative-and a surprising punch at end." - Kirkus.

purple Hibiscus
The book purple Hibiscus by Chimamanda Adiche is a captivating and interesting story that kept me on edge till the last page of it. The part that I fancy most is the dispute between Eugene and his father (i.e Kambili's grand father) over religion. Well written. I must commend Miss Adiche for a wonderful piece of work.

Purple Hibiscus: a book review
The book purple hibiscus is a very influential book and very inspiring, it teaches a lesson to all parents most especially fathers: they should not try to keep their children in bondage or stop them from being exposed to things that would help them. I cite an example when Kambili and her brother went to their aunt's house fora holiday. They were not used to playing with other children of their age, instead they avoided them.
Also a good Christian must learn to portray his true nature both outside and on the inside. We should never be a chameleon to people around us. For example Kambili's father portrayed himself as a chameleon by doing good to outsiders and being brutal to his family.

Interesting! excellent!! well written novel by an epitome of the African woman.....Mrs Adichie. It captures man's inhumanity to man especially during military rule in Nigeria and also the negative effects of religious fanaticism and hypocrisy.
Rated of 5
The book deals with the clash of beliefs and the resultant use of power.The book shows how abuse of parental authority affects children.I am not sure whether the resolution by Chimamanda in the book can be justified

Granite City Man Pleads Guilty to Firearm Offense
On February 2, 2012, Derrick Williams, a forty year old Granite City, IL, man pled guilty in federal district court to Unlawful Possession of a Firearm by a Previously Convicted Felon, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of Illinois, Stephen R. Wigginton, announced. Williams is scheduled to be sentenced at 9:00 a.m. on May 14, 2012, at which time he faces a maximum potential sentence of up to ten years' in prison, a fine of up to $250,000, not more than three years of supervised release, and a mandatory special assessment of $100.
Evidence which supports this case showed that on November 4, 2010, Williams permitted DEA agents to search his residence in Granite City, Illinois. Williams then specified that a firearm was located in a bedroom. When DEA agents arrived in this bedroom, they noticed a small plastic bag with marijuana on the night stand. Williams acknowledged ownership of the marijuana. Williams then informed DEA agents that the firearm was located under the mattress of the bed. A Granite City police officer recovered a black Glock 26 handgun. A magazine inside this handgun was loaded with 10 rounds of ammunition. When asked who sleeps on the side of the bed where this gun was located, Williams acknowledged that he did. Williams admitted that he was a convicted felon and that he knew it was illegal for him to posses the firearm.
The investigation was conducted under the auspices of the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force (OCDETF), with the Drug Enforcement Administration as the lead agency. The OCDETF initiative is designed to bring federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies and resources together to identify, target and dismantle large national and international drug trafficking organizations.
This case is assigned to Assistant United States Attorney Daniel T. Kapsak for prosecution.

by the strength of her character, the magic of her presence, amazing accomplishments, work ethic, dedication, courage, grace ...
MK already has so many honors and awards, not because of the specific colors or quantities of her medals, or lack of one specific medal, but simply because of who she is as a person and what she has wrought ... dreaming and working hard, getting back up after falling down, lifting us up, inspiring us to hope, believe, dream...
Probably one of Kwan's lesser known honors... she's one of the Godmothers of the Oasis of the Seas (Royal Caribbean cruise line ship).
Thanks to those who pointed out Todd Eldredge's numerous accomplishments in figure skating. He's a great person too, a true gentleman.
it was an oversite for dorothy--
i think the usfsa wants to delay michelles for (1) the more they delay her getting in the more people would forget her so hopefully they don't put in her due the fact . of her not winning ogm, her staying in when they didn't want her in. they hinted at her getting out in 1998.
2) the boards are stating she didn't do triple/triples when she did. also usfa would prefer to keep other skaters like b/a, evan, sasha ahead of her due to them supposedly doing so much more.
3) she didn't turn pro to help pro skating when they wanted
4) also code words for hating chineses like at worlds when slap in face to japan by holding in china-please how could holding it another country like china and twawain been a slap in the face. unless they meant political. which means okay to cheat, underhanded, against chinese skaters, chinese americans.
5) people ripping zhang despite the fact they didn't cheat for her-overlook her marks.
6) skaters /certain fanbases tired of michelles name in everything-want her kept out this way -longer kept out. longer stayed out.
like dorothy had to wait till 1991-but they kept her in mind. michelle they will want to keep out.
7) how by nitpicking stating she has to do this/that-despite rules saying different.
if it was sarah, tara they would have put her in 2010.
8) they don't think michelle did enought for them (usfsa) but caused trouble when in fact they did.
9) the so called Michelle Kwan trophy-if the wanted her -they would drop the Readers Digest trophy and put her name on it alone. I mean they changed recently a name of a trophy and put that person on it. so far 2004-it been know as Skating Readers Award or whatever not MIchelle kwan trophy-it is an afterthought.
the only reason they put michelle name on the trophy was because they didn't want her to win it anymore. not because they thought she deserved a name on the trophy just didn't want her to win. they had other skaters they wanted to rigg the name on the trophy.
all of the above is my opinion -i don't know if it is true/will happen, but i suspect the longer she is out the more they can keep her out.
like stating has to retire-but last skate
like stating in 2011-no skater was eligible when in fact michelle was.-which states something right there about them wanting her in. so michelle is overdue-
I'm sorry, but you need to stop perpetuating these racist myths. As an Asian-American, I think what your post can be seen as a mockery towards actual discrimination, and you are not doing yourself or any of your perceived victims any favors by spouting suppositions and assumptions without any solid evidence to back your claims up. They look desperate. They especially don't work when you try to apply them to Michelle Kwan who has no shortage of accolades and praise from the USFS.
"Corporation, n. An ingenious device for obtaining individual profit without individual responsibility." - Ambrose Bierce
Some people are not hoping she becomes a member of the Hall. They want her to have her OWN hall.
i am sorry vietgirl--they arent racist myths
when in fact before worlds it came out in paper the isu -cinquantta did say that.
it does imply racism--i am sorry but when they stated in those "Coded words" . it implies racism, discrimnation. even at this day and age.
regarding michelle-yes, when they don't drop the skating magazine readers choice award , and just leave her name on it.
they have done/said things anti michelle-you may be young/or what not however it has been implied , "coded words" in the past, they can't take them out of newspapers, media or internet. they are there to see, unless media takes it down.
racism still exist in this day and age, suttle, implied, underhanded , "coded" or not.
it is whether or not people pay attention to the words, language used, etc.
people need to be aware it still exist until --it doesn't.
you may not think it exist or there isn't any, but there is in this sport as well as the other olympic sports but what athletes, head honchos say well meaning / or not thinking ; just joking or not. once out there it stays in one form or another and other people think it is okay to still do it/say it. when it isn't.
sorry but it exist.
nothing related regarding racism -discrimnation
but why did gmnast /peter vidmar have to step down from being something important and the usoc have to rename someone.
i believe it was a comment/ something to do with Gays.
You are taking a Hall of Fame induction and a Reader's Choice trophy WAY too seriously.
I'm not denying that racism exists in the U.S. I also understand the concept of institutional racism and coded language. If you read any of my past posts on this board, you can find my opinions of issues related to discrimination.
However, you don't provide any concrete evidence to support any of your claims. You take examples that don't necessarily show what you say, but twist it around in order to give meat to your arguments. Like, the MSNBC headline that stated "American Beats Kwan" which they received flack for and apologized for. However, that has nothing to do with the USFS. Another thing, you said that Cinquanta said he wanted Kwan to retire after Nagano, but I have found no examples of that on google. Plus, even if it was true, it has nothing to do with the way the USFS felt about Kwan after Nagano.
You keep mentioning "code words" and subtle language, but if you're going to make those claims, you should back them up with actual examples otherwise, don't be surprised if people find your claims to be ridiculous. And if you do, I want to see something from the USFS that uses the language you keep mentioning.
Also, again, using Michelle Kwan to show off racism by the USFS is quite a difficult feat considering all the promotion Kwan has had by them and accolades they have given her.

I can only second Mr. Biro's eloquent comments. I, too, witnessed similar behaviour at a Keith Jarret Trio concert in Minneapolis's concert house several years ago. A beautiful setting, an expectant evening - all of it was ruined by boorish behavior by Jarrett and by extension, his group. He didn't verbally harrangue the audience but played a miniscule second set bookened by repeat returns for encores that were achieved by making the audience wait minutes between each extra tune (the set was only 20 minutes long). If we paid sufficient tribute to him, expressed in volume and duration of applause,Jarrett would return. Each return required ever more supplication by the audience. This is an ethical stance one really must reject.
One really does glimpse something of the totalitarian mind of an artist- or, maybe, of totalitarian art in Jarret's stance. And I think one really does think of this differently than, for example, the legions of stories of Charles Mingus' nightclub behaviour.(see note one), to take one example. At least as depicted in Santoro's biography, Mingus' tirades at audiences (and fellow musicians) didn't manifest the same kind of contempt for the audience. Mingus music was a difficult invitation, but an invitation no less. It would be nice if Jarrett, like an contrite Tour de France doper, would, not confess, but rethink the relation between artist and audience. A theoretical elaboration of his current stance would, no doubt, hardly endear him to those who listen to his music.
Warren Lubline
1. and concert actions, too. By the way, the late Rolf Erikson told a completely different version of the famous 1962 Town Hall debacle on Swedish radio before he died. According to Erikson, who was an integral part of Mingus' project, the enormous band, many instruments doubled (two first alto sax players . . . )had indeed mastered the music we now know as Epitaph. It's just that when the musicians got onto stage, none of that music was there. There were note writers who handed out music which was not what they had rehearsed.)"The most fun I had in my entire life," as Erikson put it.
Jarrett sounds really annoyed in the clip. I reckon there was more to it - backstage stuff going on. I've played Italy a number of times & there were always problems with the promoters, usually about money and invariably just before the performance.
Jarrett is known to be fractious, and his comments show, to me, a guy at the end of his 'tether' with the 'Politics'. Lets face it, If you are about to embark on an hour & a half of total concentration in front of a massive crowd you don't need any distractions, back, or front of house.
In my opinion, if audience members don't like Jarrett's rules they can always go to the pub instead.
For one reason or another I have never seen Keith Jarrett Live and now I am happy I never did. He's just another idiot musician who is concerned with everything but the music. Play the fucking music and shut up. I have been playing professionally for 30 years and the music is what it is all about. Yes on many occasions there have been distractions and concentration breakers, but so what. Is he afraid someone will make a little change from a photo or have a bootleg recording, if so I suggest he stay home and play by himself. I wouldn't want to interfere with his artistic genious.
His actions and concerns automaticaaly negate a fair portion of his musical capabilities.
I didn't realize that Jack was such a dick also. I wonder why Gary didn't say something?
I'm with Keith Jarrett on this one. I'd be quite happy for people not to be allowed to bring phones or cameras into concerts and theatrical performances. It could be done like it was done( in the USA for while) when it wasn't allowable to take cigarette lighters on planes. People could just dump them at the entrance.
There are always the idiots who think that requests not to take flash pictures don't apply to them. I would prefer not to attend events with idiots like that.
As for recording, impossible to control and I doubt that the performer would be aware of it at the time.
But flashes going off all the time must be really distracting for the performer.
If Jarrett had made the request for no cameras and flash before and been ignored, then he did the right thing by walking off when he did and saying what he said. Next time( not in Umbria, maybe at Brecon) he should put in his contract that flash and camera use would result in the immediate termination of the concert and have the organisers announce that at the beginning. Maybe they refused to in this case.
I was in Perugia that night, and no matter how much I agree that taking pictures only seconds after the president of the festival had begged people not to is a stupid thing, I still find it even more stupid to insult the whole audience as only a handful took pictures. Jarret being pissed of is understandable, but a few cameras did not give him the right to use phrases as "this damn city" and "it's you privilege to be here, not mine" as this brought about a negative atmosphere affecting all people there. My girlfriend and I had spent our hard earned money to fly from Norway to Italy to see Jarret and Pat Metheny, and after the insulting words before even playing a note, the whole Jarret experinece was partly ruined.
Three days later it was time for the Metheny gig, and not only did he (and Mehldau, Grenadier and Ballard) play fantastic, but Pat also took his time to thank the audience for coming out and tell how much he appreciated the Umbria Jazz festival, the city and italy. Live music to me is all about a connection between the audience and the musicians. Music can speak for itself, but the connection is ruined if added words are of the insulting kind. Metheny (and Stefano Bollani and Enrico Rava who we also got to see, for that matter) adds something postive to the already great music when opening their mouths.
Jarret is a great musician, but that doesn't justify the behaviour he displayed that night.
I'm a 56 year-old jazz trombonist. My hero was and still is the great J. J. Johnson. I had the opportunity to perform with him on stage in 1991. And it was one of the more profound peak experiences of my life.
And guess what? J. J. made it that way for me because he wasn't just a great jazz musician. He was also a great man - an honor that Keith Jarrett, for all his musical greatness, cannot claim.
This is a shame. But, I guess Keith just doesn't get it. While he was practicing all those hours everyday to become a great musician, he must have neglected to practice the art of personal integrity.
It's too bad J. J. wasn't Keith's teacher. Keith might have learned how to be more than a musician.
He might have learned how to be a MAN.
You're a great musician, Keith. But, evidently, you're also a petulant brat from time to time. Which brings me to this:
I've bought very many of your CDs and videos in the past.
But, unless you apologize publicly for your behavior at Umbria (and other past venues) and vow to abandon you're childish tantrums toward audiences, I'll buy no more. I won't attend your concerts, either. And I assure you that I'll be far from alone in my decision to do this.
Thank you all for your well-stated opinions on Keith Jarrett's outrageous behaviour.
So why does he continually keep rising to the top of the AAJ musician profiles?
Go figure....
Kandie Le Britain Webster ~~ jazzylover59
Having just purchased 'Yesterdays by Keith Jarrett I'm afraid I must report that my listening pleasure was diminished slightly by the tuneless and ill focused scatting emanating from the maestro's mouth during what is otherwise a pristine recording.
Whilst acknowledging that this is a common and universally accepted idiosyncracy of this artist, may I suggest that he shuts the f**k up and plays the goddam music.
Oh yes... and I promise not to take any photos of him if ever I am lucky enough to see him live.
Keith just seems to revel in f*cking up is own art. He's always been much more effective at it than anyone in his audience. Sadly, that's why I don't bother to listen. I know he's a great player, but there are quite a few more that give me equal or greater pleasure and at least they don't make me feel like an a**hole for simply being interested in their work. I'm happy to stay away and feel for his fans who feel they have to put up with his obnoxiousness. I personally will not.
Those of you who agree with Keith Jarrett's self-indulgent behavior are missing the point: why should an entire audience be penalized because of one person using a flash? I was at a concert of Jarrett's many years ago and he got mad because someone came into the concert hall late. The rest of the audience was on time. One person came in late. And Jarrett slammed his hands on the piano and stopped playing, briefly lecturing the audience, before resuming. I don't hold grudges, but over the years I've heard his behavior hasn't changed. That reinforces my resolve to never see him live, and only buy music on which he's a sideman, not the leader. I'm surprised Jack De Johnette, my favorite drummer and a high spirit, continues touring with him since Mr. De Johnette is always great and gracious, but that's his prerogative.
I can understand all of you is really angry with Keith behaviour, but can we judge his so strictly ??
Hi Konstantin. Few people judge Jarrett's music harshly, even if they do his behavior. There's no denying (well, imo) his artistic talent and influential work over the last 45 years. And few reasonable folks deny his right to protect his work by insisting on no cameras and no recording of any kind. But, in deference to his tremendous music, I've seen other artists handle the same problem with grace and, in some cases, humor, and I think it's an approach that works better, because it unites the audience with the artist, rather than dividing them.
On a funny note, the Soup Nazi on Seinfeld reminds me of Keith. One person makes a mistake and it's, "no Jazz for you!"
Keith's behavior is smptamatic of what chronic masterbation can initiate in the creativity secretains of one medula oblumgota - affecting the inner dynamaic functioning of lower levels of creon out flow Eg.turnning one in to the perffect ass hole-which bares looking into by those that he shat upon-I think that -all things consedred-the keith & Gertrude Stein would have made a lovly couple.

Hi Marty,
(1)For any of you subscribers that are interested the Paul Reid Christmas show will be broadcast Dec 24th 6-9 pm and Dec 25th 5-8 pm. The website address is www.cjad.com.
(2) I know that it is a little early but I want to congratulate you and say thank you for the four years that the southbros blog has been in operation-- It doesn't seem that long ago since that original phone conversation but then the old homily -- time flies when you're having fun-- was never more apt.
(3) Attached is a copy of a christmas story which I used a couple of years ago for the audio Christmas card that I produce to send to family and a few friends.
(4) And last but not least, following the lead of my good buddy Winston Swinwood, I want to wish you,your family, and each and everyone of your subscribers a very Merry Christmas (x3), a family and friend-filled holiday season and a prosperous and healthy 2010. JMcC
As I begin to prepare for the Christmas season each year my thoughts occasionally stray to an event that had a significant impact on my life even though it happened some 56 years ago.
My Dad was killed in a traffic accident in 1952 and although she tried to keep all four of us McConachie brothers together at our home on Murray Ave my mother was just not able to manage it financially.
Finally in 1953 the two youngest boys (Keith and Ken) went to stay at a child's home in Rosemere which was run by the Order of the Eastern Star and Jim and I became residents of Weredale House in Montreal.
To this day I still get the odd question as to what it was like in "The Home". First off , our integration was relatively smooth because of three friends from Greenfield Park who had become residents of Weredale the year before although I didn't know it until Jim and I had checked in.
Herbie Simons and brothers Gerald and Ralph Robertson who were foster children and lived with the Saunders family on Parker Ave, with a year under their belts made sure that we learned the ropes while letting it be known that Jim and I were under their protective wing.
While the reason for our situation including the fact that we were only able to visit our mother and relatives on weekends only was not the best possible , life itself on the inside was not as bad as some might envision. Although much more regimented than life had been in Greenfield Park, if one were to work within the system, there were a number of opportunities for advancement and self-improvement.
As a personal example I soon became a Patrol leader in the scout troop that was in place there, I was selected to be a hut leader for the first two years at our summer camp and successively a Counsellor –in –training and then Counsellor the following two seasons respectively.
During the winter, I was also chosen to be a monitor on duty at the front desk once a week in the main office after regular business hours. Of particular note was that one of our duties as monitor was to go up Atwater Ave to the Montreal Forum to get the early
(bulldog) edition of the Montreal Gazette( which hit the streets at approximately 9:00 pm) for the head man at the Home.Fortunately or unfortunately I was on duty the night of the infamous Richard Riot and although I was not able to get the paper I did have a bird's eye view of that memorable event.
But I digress. Normally our weekend free time ran roughly from 12:30 to 8:30 pm each Saturday and Sunday but on Christmas Day we were allowed to leave as soon as we had had breakfast. Our first two Christmases in Weredale were perhaps the most difficult as my mother was working as a waitress and we did not get to see her until app 2:00 in the afternoon. Fortunately most of our relatives lived in Pointe St Charles , a short 20 min bus ride from The Home and so we were able to be with extended family until our mother got off work and we could celebrate Christmas with her.
For the remaining two Christmases that I was at Weredale we continued to visit the relatives but spent less time there and then headed off to the South Shore where my mother had returned to the family home. I have always been one to see the glass as half-full rather than half-empty and so while there were many rules and regulations including the threat of being sent to the infamous boys farm at Shawbridge in the Laurentians( a much tougher place than Weredale) if we got out of line, there were, in hindsight, some benefits as well.
Two such come to mind quite readily. The first was the fact that most of us residents were fortunate to have two Christmases each year. One with our family and one sponsored by Weredale. On the Sunday before Christmas after compulsory Chapel service, Santa Claus appeared on stage in the main auditorium and everyone of the residents received a few gifts , usually very practical pieces of clothing, socks, pyjamas, a vest sweater with a diamond pattern etc and some candy, usually red and white striped candy canes, and for the younger residents, a toy of some sort..
The other positive event was the annual Christmas dinner at the Venerable Mount Royal Hotel. Both the Montreal and Westmount Rotary Clubs were sponsors of Weredale. In the summer they would each show up at our summer camp on separate occasions with a multitude of prizes for the winners of field and water sport competitions organized for that day.
In the winter we would be their guests for Christmas dinner. The Christmas dinner for us was a grand affair and immediately after school on the special day we got all dressed up in our best bib and tucker and were taken by Uncle Harry's School bus from the corner of Dorchester and Atwater to the Mount Royal on Peel Street.
There we had the full treatment of appetizer, tomato juice , Turkey dinner with all the trimmings and apple pie and ice cream for dessert. The real benefit however was the special training we would receive each year in preparation for the big day. Again, following chapel service on the two Sundays preceding the dinner downtown , Mrs. Craig, the Head Lady at the home responsible for all health, food,clothing and Laundry operations would take us through all of the proper rules of etiquette for such a grand night.
She was determined that despite our situation there would be no reason for us to be ignorant of which fork to use for each part of the meal ,which side our bread plate and water glass were on, what to do with the napkin etc.
We were taught all the rules and then were required to practice at our regular Sunday roast beef dinner until we would know our way around the table as correctly as any one of our Rotarian hosts. As I sit here writing this greeting I can visualize Mrs. Craig ,hair tightly curled , not a strand out of place, in her crisp starched nurses' uniform taking us through, in her Scottish brogue, the list of table do's and don'ts 50 plus years ago.
I obviously didn't realize way back then ,that those important lessons would stand me in good stead for the rest of my life but at some very special occasions that I attended over the years I have thought of and been truly grateful to a tiny gracious lady who taught me that regardless of one's situation there was no reason whatsoever for her Weredale Boys, as she called us, to be bereft of good manners and proper etiquette.
And so, not a Christmas dinner goes by that I do not, in my mind's eye, raise my glass to Mrs. Craig and wish her Merry Christmas in sincere appreciation of what she taught us and likewise from our house to yours I wish you Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas , Merry Christmas and as Mrs. Craig would admonish " Mind your manners".
Thanks John McC.

Portals of the Frozen Wastes
By James Wyatt
Four portals form a trail connecting four frigid regions of Faerûn's northern wilderness: the Sea of Moving Ice in the west, the High Ice in Anauroch, the Great Glacier, and . . . someplace else. Nobody has yet figured out where the latter portal leads, but those who have used say it is a frozen locale shown on no map of Faerûn. The frost-rimed ruins in this mysterious place hold the key to unlocking the secret of the four portals -- if some hardy adventurers can brave the frigid cold and ancient ghosts long enough to discover it.
Follow a magical path to learn the secrets of the portals of the frozen wastes!
Statistics and supplemental information:
Any individual location described on these pages can be introduced into an established campaign set in Faerûn's cold regions, or the entire network can form the basis of a mini-campaign focused around the discovery of Jhothûn. Consider the following hooks to draw characters into the adventure and mystery surrounding the portals.

Awesome banner by the side by srishti2510 :D
Chapter Two
I woke up to the sound of my brother's awful singing.
Okay, his voice was actually quite lovely if I admit it but at seven a. m. in the morning it was as irritating as hell. My eyelids fluttered and I squeezed them hard, trying to get back to sleep but of course, that was impossible with his loud inconsiderate singing.
"Shut up," I grumbled into my pillow.
He didn't hear me because he was in the bathroom and he increased his voice, Lady Gaga's 'Highway Unicorn' echoing all over the place.
Well, Tyson, that's your cue to get up.
I growled again and screamed, "Shut up!"
There was silence and then a soft giggle. I heard his feet on the floor as he entered the room. The bed dipped as he plopped himself on it. He had his bright pink towel draped around his hips and another pink towel around his hair like some girl. I could smell his bubble gum shampoo as he leaned over to grin widely at my face. I rolled my eyes and closed them, ready to head back to dream land.
"Wake up sleeping beauty!" he giggled, "it's Monday! Such a wonderful day, am I right?"
"Pft," I replied and snuggled into the covers only to have them ripped away from my body. I moaned and pouted, curling into a ball. "Five more minutes," I begged into the pillow.
"No, get your lazy ass up," he laughed and then tickled my toes.
I squealed and jumped up from the bed. He giggled girlishly and sauntered over to our dresser. Or rather, his dresser; I never used the damn thing. Compared to him, I looked a fucking mess. My hair was tousled and all over the place and my boxers were askew, my t-shirt looked like a dozen bulls had just run over it.
He brought out his hair dryer and his beauty products and raised his eyebrows at my reflection, "well, are you going to continue ogling my perfection or are you going to get ready for school?"
I rolled my eyes but I was grinning, "perfection my ass."
"What was that?"
"Nothing your highness, I will be gone now," I chuckled and entered the bathroom to get ready.
When I was done with my shower and brushing my teeth, I returned to the room in my towel. Tyler was done drying his hair, which was an adorable puff of red all over his face and head, he was half dressed, wearing his black skinny jeans and a white tank top, painting his fucking nails. I just stared at him for an incredulous moment before stalking to our wardrobe.
"You do know we have gym today."
"Mhm. So?" he replied, frowning in concentration as he delicately swiped the brush across his thumb.
I raised an eyebrow, "you're painting your nails."
"And you win a panda for pointing out the obvious," he giggled and held his hand up, admiring the light pink polish.
"You're going to break a nail," I mumbled and rolled my eyes, fishing for what I was going to wear.
"If I do break a nail, Tyson, I'll be blaming you," he said and held his palm up, admiring his hand work. I had to say the pink went beautifully with his pale skin.
Not caring about what I picked; I just threw a random pair of blue jeans on the bed and a black t-shirt. I was already in my shorts so I just shoved my jeans on and threw my shirt over my head.
Miraculously, Tyler's nails were dried and he was putting on his t-shirt, the same colour of pink to match his nails. I rolled my eyes; he was such a queen.
He gasped when he saw me and made a 'tsk' sound with his lips, "I am not walking with you looking like that. Come on and I'll do your hair."
I growled under my breath, "My hair is fine."
"Like hell," he giggled and took a brush then pushed me so I was sitting at the edge of the bed. He gently pulled the brush through my hair and I sighed impatiently. He giggled, taking his time. I inhaled deeply and the scent of fruits wafted into my nostrils.
"You changed your perfume." I noted.
He pulled back, his cheeks reddening to look at me, "you noticed? Do you like it?" he asked eagerly.
I grinned and leaned over, pretending to be a dog, sniffing him and panting.

Obama Begs Public for Trust in Syria Plan, Be it Diplomatic or Military
The president pledged diligence in decision-making on Syria.
President Barack Obama, shown here addressing the nation on Sept. 10, 2013, heads to New York Monday for the U.N. General Assembly.
Sharing little if any new information, President Barack Obama told the American public Tuesday night he's not backing down from a potential military strike in Syria, but said he'd like to wait to see if a diplomatic solution can be achieved.
Building on the news from earlier in the day, Obama said he was encouraged by the possibility that Russia, a staunch ally of Syrian President Bashar Assad – who reportedly authorized a chemical weapons attack in August that killed more than 1,400 Syrians, including more than 400 children – could negotiate control of the country's remaining chemical weapons stockpile.
[OPINION: Obama's Syria Speech Too Little Leadership, Too Late]
"It's too early to tell whether this offer will succeed, and any agreement must verify that the Assad regime keeps its commitments, but this initiative has the potential to remove the threat of chemical weapons without the use of force," Obama said in a solemn address to the nation. "I have therefore asked the leaders of Congress to postpone a vote to authorize the use of force while we pursue this diplomatic path."
A reticent Obama reiterated his cause for American military intervention, which he acknowledged was deeply unpopular.
"On that terrible night, the world saw in gruesome detail the terrible nature of chemical weapons and why the overwhelming majority of humanity has declared them off limits, a crime against humanity and a violation of the laws of war," he said. "When dictators commit atrocities, they depend upon the world to look the other way until those horrifying pictures fade from memory. But these things happened. The facts cannot be denied."
Obama also raised the specter of an emboldened Iran as a potential nuclear power for another reason for action.
"A failure to stand against the use of chemical weapons would weaken prohibitions against other weapons of mass destruction and embolden Assad's ally, Iran, which must decide whether to ignore international law by building a nuclear weapon or to take a more peaceful path," he said.
The president also called on Americans to take pride in their country's role as a world military and moral leader to make his case.
"For nearly seven decades, the United States has been the anchor of global security; this has meant doing more than forging international agreements, it has meant enforcing them," he said. "The burdens of leadership are often heavy, but the world's a better place because we have borne them."
[ALSO: Pentgon Chief Warns of Assad Trickery on Talks]
Obama asked Republicans who take pride in a strong military to support him because the "cause is so plainly just" and Democrats who value freedom and dignity for people to recognize that "sometimes resolutions and statements of condemnation are simply not enough."
He also encouraged the public to remember he was elected to end wars, not start them, and implored Americans to trust his judgment.
"Terrible things happen across the globe, and it is beyond our means to right every wrong, but when with modest effort and risk we can stop children from being gassed to death and thereby make our own children safer over the long run, I believe we should act," Obama said. "That's what makes America different. That's what makes us exceptional. With humility, but with resolve, let us never lose sight of that essential truth."

Santa's Christmas greeting cards free
Santa's Christmas greeting cards free (free) by pickZy
Available on iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad
I'll just come out and say it: don't waste your time with this "greeting card" app. And if the paid version is as incompetent as the "free" version which won't let you email your Christmas cards unless you pay, don't waste your time with that one either.
I normally don't go out of my way to slam apps that stink; in fact, I usually don't even bother reviewing them at all. But I'm kind of offended that I wasted 5 minutes of my life in finding out that (a) upgrading is required to get any use out of this app at all, and (b) the handling of images and decorative elements is so horrendously bad that trying to make a decent greeting card at all is more or less an exercise in futility. I'm going to repeat that for the developer: the handling of images and decorative elements is horrendously bad. No resize, no rotate. There are photo frames but you can't stick a photo in them. Ugh.
The one thing this greeting card app does right is that it tells you right from the start that upgrading is required to send anything… and that's your cue to delete it!
If you want to send Christmas cards from your iPhone or iPad, use Christmas C@rds.

|Dear pickZy the developer, releasing this kind of garbage makes you look really bad! Please get better at making apps and, when you do, I hope you make a lot of money from it. Until your apps are good, make them free (like REALLY free, none of this upgrading BS) and continually try to improve on them. This sage advice is my gift to you! Merry Christmas.

FORT MILL — After a two-year hiatus, Art on Main is coming back this fall.
Formerly run by a merchants-based group called Move Fort Mill Forward, the fine art and master crafts festival is being revived by the new Fort Mill History Museum. Its scheduled to kick off with a Friday night gala ahead of a full day, juried festival on Saturday, Oct. 5, along Main Street.
While the S.C. Strawberry Festival, held the first weekend in May, has established itself as the towns premier event, theres been a void in downtown Fort Mill during the fall season since the last Art on Main. Until this year, the only annual event on Main Street prior to the Christmas events has been the Halloween eve kids costume contest and candy giveaway by downtown merchants.
We want this to be a new, re-branded event with the focus on our very talented local artists and craftsman, said Carol Dixon, secretary-treasurer of the festival committee. The committees co-chairs are Tamara Osburne and Alexa Spratt, who was a top award winner in the first Art on Main, held in 2006.
Weve got a committee thats top-notch, Dixon said.
She also singled out Margaret Bell-Niven, the museums executive assistant, for creating the festival's new logo.
Just as in the past, downtown business owners will be kept in the loop and have an opportunity to participate in Art on Main, Dixon said.
Well be scheduling a meeting because we want to make sure they are all aware of what were doing, she said.
If anyone wonders how a history museum came to present an arts program, Dixon explains the linkage:
Since art is such a big part of our culture, and culture is such a big part of our history, we decided that we felt it was very fitting that the Fort Mill History Museum to be the presenter of this years Art on Main, she said.
This will be our event every year.
The museum, at 310 North White Street next to Springs Insurance, will be used to showcase childrens art thats entered in the show.
People will be able to take a walk from downtown over to the Fort Mill History Museum and for people who dont want to walk, well have some sort of transportation, Dixon said.
Although not an official Town of Fort Mill event, Dixon said Mayor Danny Funderburk pledged the towns support.
Its a community event and we want it to be the best [Art On Main] ever.
In addition to fine artists who create paintings and drawings, crafts makers such as wood turners, potters and others are invited to participate. For more information go to fortmillartonmain.org, fortmillhistorymuseum.org, email firstname.lastname@example.com, call 802-3646 or find the Fort Mill History Museum on Facebook.

"It's his presence and his experience, I think what he fits in to, as well, is a nasty style that we can play. He's a goal-scorer. It's something that teams have to know where he is because he's someone who has really proven himself in his career to be a goal-scorer.
"So, he becomes a threat, and the more threats you have out on the ice, the better, because more teams have to pay attention to that."

Michael Leighton Out Of The KHL After Taking Ill Before Training Camp
07/29/14 at 07:58 AM ET | Comments (0)
from Bob Duff of the Windsor Star,
Michael Leighton won't be returning to Russia for the upcoming Kontinental Hockey League season, but not for the reason you might think.
The former Windsor Spitfires goalie who calls LaSalle home was all set to join the expansion HC Sochi team for his second season of KHL action when illness felled Leighton.
Unable to attend training camp – KHL teams open camp in mid-to-late July leading to the early September start of regular-season play – Leighton and HC Sochi officials mutually agreed to void the contract he'd signed with the team.
"I was with Sochi and got sick and wasn't sure when I was going to be able to make it there," Leighton, 33, explained. "They have the right to look for another goalie and I agreed that I didn't know when I'd be able to get there, so we both agreed to terminate the contract."...
During the 2013-14 campaign, he suited up for Donbass Donetsk, the only Ukrainian-based franchise in the KHL and a city that currently finds itself in the midst of the armed conflict within that country....
"Where I was last year, it was fine all year until close to the end of the year and into the playoffs," Leighton said. As troubles mounted in the area, the Donbass club moved to a base in Bratislava, Slovakia, playing its playoff games on the road.
"It did get kind of scary, because we weren't playing at home," Leighton said. "Teams didn't want to travel to the Ukraine.
"When the season was done and I was home, I was happy that I was home."

All Barry Trotz
07/29/14 at 07:35 AM ET | Comments (0)
from Dan Rosen of NHL.com,
You went to Las Vegas when Alex Ovechkin was there for the NHL Awards to sit down with him, have dinner with him, get to know him. Why was it important for you at the time to sit down with Ovechkin, and what did you learn from the meeting?
"You're not going to go to battle with someone you don't know. It doesn't matter what walk of life it is, whether it's business or in war. In sports it's usually a coach and player, so he understands where I'm coming from and at the same time the player recognizes where you're coming from so you get a comfort level and you can work together better. If we're going to be successful in Washington, [Ovechkin] has to be a big part of that. It's not only him, but he's a main component, a big personality, and I have to sell my vision of the team to him because he's one of the top players. In today's sport, coaches are in a partnership with their top players.
"I think it went OK. I learned a lot from that, how he thinks and how he sees the world. I know he comes from a different culture and I learned about how he views himself, how he views his job with the team. It was good. I told him what I expected. I had a bunch of questions written down and we sort of went through them. I didn't know if there would be a language barrier so I made him read the questions and try to answer them. We had some dialogue. I learned about his family, who is important in his life.
"Every player is wired differently. Some players you know exactly where they're headed, where they're going and what they're thinking. There are other guys wired differently. It allowed me to understand the personality of Alexander Ovechkin. He's been the face of the Caps for the past eight or nine years, since he's been drafted. He gets a lot of the credit when they do well and he gets a lot of the blame when they don't, but that's the responsibility for a top guy in the National Hockey League now. If you want to be the elite guy those are the responsibilities that go with it. It was good. We spent probably four hours together, and I've talked to him a couple of times on the phone as well. I think not only coaching the player but coaching the person is very important."

Red Wings overnight report: on 'roster continuity,' Tatar, DeKeyser and the Walleye's Winterfest
Blog: The Malik Report By George Malik
07/29/14 at 02:42 AM ET | Comments (1)
The Red Wings checked an extremely important item off their offseason to-do list in signing Tomas Tatar to a 3-year, $8.25 million contract (at present, Capgeek only knows that Tatar's contract's cap hit is $2.75 million per season), and you and I found that the team has yet another assistant coach to replace as the Free Press's Helene St. James reported that video coordinator/assistant coach Keith McKittrick's leaving to join the WHL's Portland Winterhawks.
So, in terms of player personnel, the Red Wings have a Capgeek-estimated $5.75 million in cap space, which the team will use to re-sign restricted free agent Danny DeKeyser and to possibly sign Daniel Alfredsson to a moderate-base-salary-and-bonuses deal if his back's feeling up to snuff in September...
And in the coaching department, at the NHL level, Mike Babcock now needs to find both an assistant coach to replace Tom Renney and a video coordinator to replace McKittrick, and at the AHL level, Jeff Blashill has to find a pair of assistant coaches to replace departing Grand Rapids Griffins assistant coaches Jim Paek and Spiros Anastas.

James Reimer Is Now Happy In Toronto
07/28/14 at 06:37 PM ET | Comments (0)
from Kevin McGran of the Toronto Star,
Perhaps the realization on both sides that the market for goalies is limited — there are still a number of unrestricted free-agent netminders available — and the return for Reimer would be small.
Perhaps it was the realization by Reimer that the opportunity to be a starter would be no better anywhere else.
Perhaps it was the realization by the Leafs that they don't have much depth and another injury to Bernier without an adequate backup could paralyze the team.
So the conversation changed. The Leafs told Reimer they needed him. The Leafs told Reimer he could unseat Bernier for the top job if he plays well enough.
"That's pretty much what I've been told," said Reimer. "That's all a guy can ask for. All you want is a chance, and I intend to make the most of it.
"My goal is to go in there and be the No. 1 guy. Worst-case scenario: Me and Bernier push each other and we get great goaltending."

Red Wings evening news: on DeKeyser and the cap, McKittrick's departure and Shirley Temples
Blog: The Malik Report By George Malik
07/28/14 at 06:26 PM ET | Comments (10)
Updated with a Mattias Backman interview at 7:32 PM:
So Tomas Tatar has been signed to a 3-year deal at an average value of $2.75 million per season (that particular blog entry's been updated with quips and quotes, and it's a solid "bridge" contract for someone who will, per Winging It in Motown, remain a restricted free agent after this deal expires), the Red Wings expect to have no issues re-signing Danny DeKeyser, as DeKeyser told Fox 17 and Ken Holland told MLive's Brendan Savage...
"I don't see any problem," Holland said. "We're going to want to get him signed. I talked 3-4 times with his camp in June and a little bit shortly after the draft. We haven't talked in a little bit. But again, I'm motivated to get him signed. I think Danny wants to get signed. Once you get into early July, everybody's focus is free agency for a couple of weeks. Going forward, now we can find a solution. I'm confident we can get him done."
And with--as Savage noted in an earlier article--22 players signed, the Wings now have $5.27 million in Capgeek-estimated cap space, which should be enough money to re-sign DeKeyser (I'd estimate that DeKeyser's going to get a $2.5-3 million deal, but the Free Press's Helene St. James believes that DeKeyser could get a Quincey-like $4 million AAV deal) and possibly give this guy a decent base salary:

Not Much Of A Cultural Change In San Jose
07/28/14 at 04:38 PM ET | Comments (1)
from Allan Muir of Sports Illustrated,
Despite loud promises of impending change, tomorrow is starting to look an awful lot like yesterday in San Jose. That's not sitting too well with the Sharks' fired-up fans, but once they get past their anger and frustration, they just might realize that stability isn't the worst thing.
Granted, the team isn't getting the rebuild the fans were promised by GM Doug Wilson in the aftermath of the team's opening round meltdown against the Kings.
The culture that many saw as a problem remains virtually unchanged.
The big free-agent signing of the summer has been John "Fifth Line" Scott.
San Jose chose not to re-sign Drew Remenda, one of the best analysts in the game.
And yes, the team has crossed the moral line for a small but vocal group of fans who are offended by the idea of adding cheerleaders to the game presentation.

07/28/14 at 04:24 PM ET | Comments (0)
from Jake Becker of The Fischler Report,
I think time heals all wounds. I don't think for a minute that Torts was anything other than what people knew he was. I think Mike Gillis knew the issues, the positives and the negatives. In my mind the issue really came down to that infamous day when he decided to try to get in the locker room when [Calgary head coach] Bob Hartley was antagonizing.
Bob is the godfather to my son Ryan, and I consider Torts to be one of my best friends, too. It was ironic, but I believe that John will get back. General managers in the league know he's a good coach, and you take the good with the bad. Part of what makes him a good coach is that he does not have the political correctness gene. He is not worried about what you or me or what anybody else thinks about him – he's going to do what he thinks is right. I think some time away, so time to decompress, I think that'll be good for him.
I don't have any doubt that at some point in time, a team is going to be struggling and a team is going to need some discipline, some structure, and a general manager is going to say, "This is a guy that can provide it."

From our upcoming August issue: Even...
From our upcoming August issue: Clinical...
This literature review shows how researchers...
In this literature review, the authors...
Affymax and partner Takeda Pharmaceutical confirmed FDA approval of Omontys® (peginesatide) injection for the treatment of anemia in adult chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients on dialysis. The firms say the drug is the only once-monthly erythropoiesis-stimulating agent (ESA) approved for use in dialysis patients in the U.S.
FDA clearance was based on data from two randomized Phase III studies, Emerald 1 and 2, which demonstrated that compared with 1–3 times weekly epoetin treatment, Omontys was as safe and effective at maintaining hemoglobin levels in CKD patients on dialysis. The Phase III program involved 2,606 participants, including 1,600 dialysis patients.
FDA's approval of Omontys comes with the requirement for post-marketing studies to evaluate the cardiovascular safety and long-term safety of Omontys, and new pediatric studies. A Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy has been established to warn that use of Omontys in patients with CKD who aren't on dialysis may be at an increased risk of specific cardiovascular events, as evidenced by two prior clinical trials.
Omontys is a synthetic, pegylated peptide-based ESA originally discovered by Affymax. The drug will be co-commercialized in the U.S. by the two firms. Last month Takeda confirmed that its Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) for peginesatide had been accepted by the European Medicines Agency and is currently under review.

A homeowner in the 500 block of Rice Creek Boulevard (just south of ) was the target of a door-to-door scam last Thursday, according to a crime alert issued by the Fridley Police Department.
A man identifying himself as representing A-1 Blacktop knocked on the homeowner's door and offered a reduced-cost deal on a small repair job. The homeowner signed a blank contract, only to have the entire driveway treated and the man ask for $5,200. (A-1 Blacktop isn't a licensed solicitor with the City of Fridley, according to the alert.)
Fridley Police Lt. Mike Monsrud said he couldn't provide details about the incident "because the case is currently under investigation." He added:
The victim did lose some money, but we are not disclosing the amount at this time. This is an occasional problem that we see once or twice a year.
Fridley police also issued a warning about similar door-to-door scams, with advice about how to spot a swindle—for example: "If it is too good to be true, it is!"
See both the crime alert and scam warning that are uploaded as PDFs to this post.

The Pocket addon (formerly ReatItLater) now forces people to store bookmarks on their server. I didn't want to share everything I read with them, so I refused to register. Then Pocket deleted my entire reading list, and when I tried to downgrade to a previous version, it restored the current version even though I had disabled updates. This is unacceptable. Thank you for providing this useful alternative.
Yet another addon needed to reverse a stupid decision by the Mozilla UX team... Apparently they feel they need to dumb everything down, but why don't they make it a pref?
Apart from weeping and gnashing of teeth, Firefox's new behavior also produces a new privacy problem. It leads to search engines being called with search terms that weren't intended for them.

Current releases can be found on the homepage. Version 1.7pre is compatible with Thunderbird 16.
Btw the check mark in the View|Layout menu is still inverted. It should be checked when the sidebar is visible, not when it's hidden.
@christian1502 Komisch, ich kann das mit dem Standardicon nicht. Egal wo ich es hinziehe, es erscheint immer _neben_ dem Adressfeld, nicht darin. Außerdem ist das Standardicon immer da. Wenn die Seite keinen Feed bereitstellt, ist es ausgegraut, nimmt aber trotzdem Platz weg und hat keine Funktion. Mit "RSS Icon" erscheint das Icon _im_ Adressfeld, und nur dann, wenn es einen Feed gibt.
Leider wird nicht angezeigt, ob ich den Feed schon abonniert habe, und der Name ist falsch. Es müsste "Feed Icon" heißen. RSS ist nur _ein_ Feed-Format, der Standard ist Atom. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_feed#Confusion_between_Web_feed_and_RSS
Go to the extension homepage to get a current "pre-release" version! The version here is 5 years old. The latest version on the homepage is v1.5pre from April 2012.This user has other reviews of this add-on.
Still useful, but it stopped working correctly on many sites, e.g. doesn't recognize a login form, tries to submit hidden forms, doesn't recognize a captcha requirement, doesn't fill the username/email field. This extension is up for adoption (see "Developer's Comments"), don't let it die!This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.9.9). This user has a previous review of this add-on.
no response from notaries... even http://www.networknotary.org/ is down. Wasn't the idea to build a network of notaries that is more reliable than any single https site?This review is for a previous version of the add-on (4.2).
Looks better than EPubReader, and I also appreciate that it doesn't force the library function on me. Check out the manual in Tools|Lucifox!This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.8.3).
This addon is absolutely necessary due to Firefox's extremely annoying master password UI. Every time I start Firefox, Sync steals focus and fires a modal master password prompt without even telling why, and this is by design! Master Password+ gets rid of them. Not 5 stars because it doesn't work well with Secure Login (need to reload page) and because the "Lock" hotkeys cannot be disabled.This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.16.1).
It needs some built-in general rules (by domain, opened-from, etc). If I have to enter a custom regex for every set of tabs I visit it's easier to group them manually.This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.2).
I love it. It seems to work with Thunderbird 7 beta. Please bump.This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.2.2).
It doesn't say so in the description, but this initiates a Google web search in a Thunderbird tab. (I think I saw a search engine dropdown but it disappeared after a split second.) Thunderbird isn't a web browser. If you want the kitchen sink, get Seamonkey.

Don't be such dicks, folks. For the sites that have logins listed on bugmenot, the extension works. Don't blame this extension for the "play nice with site owners" policy of bugmenot.com.

works in 4.0
Great. Now we have to use addons to get everything back they're throwing out in the great browser race to zero UI.
Suggestions: There should be some indication when a site has a feed I've already subscribed to, akin to what the star does for "dead bookmarks". And don't exclude <a> and <area>, the HTML5 spec says they should also be used for autodiscovery.

Pleased with the strides the county's safety committee has made, Commissioner Chairman John Lechner said the moves will not only protect county employees, but may eventually lower worker's compensation insurance rates.
A $5,000 grant obtained through the County Commissioners Association of Pennsylvania allowed for the purchase of new scaffolding used by county workers when maintaining and cleaning the county's bridges. The grant also will pay for training for those working on the bridges to make sure they are using the new scaffolding properly. Rather than hanging over the side of the bridge to clean and inspect, the new equipment connects to the bridge and creates a walkway for workers.
Also, there have been enough automated external defibrillators donated to allow for easy access in most areas of the courthouse, but Lechner said he is hoping others could be donated so they can be placed in outlying buildings and offices. Additionally, more than 35 courthouse employees have been trained in CPR.
Next up on the safety list is the careful coordination of a fire drill, Lechner said.
"That's something that hasn't been done and we can't just arbitrarily have a fire drill. Because of what's going on in the courtrooms, we have to coordinate those efforts with each department," he said.
"But it's something that has to happen and will happen, once we work it out," he said.
"I'm really encouraged by where we are at with the safety stuff. We are leaps and bounds ahead of where we have been. We've also started a wellness program for employees that helps with ways to improve lifestyles and hopefully improve their health. It's a very active safety committee," he said.
And along with improving things for the employees, county officials had some brief discussion at Wednesday's work session about work that needs done on the building it owns across the street. While the first floor of the building at 127 N. Diamond St. houses a bank, the second floor is occupied by county offices. In the last several weeks, there have been problems with the air conditioning on the second floor, according to Chief Clerk Tim Hofius. With temperatures in the upper 70s during the day and 50s at night, it isn't a big problem, but once hot weather returns, it's something that will have be addressed quickly, Lechner said.
Additionally, the 25-year-old roof will soon need repairs and officials admitted they had "sticker shock" when they priced installation of an elevator allowing for easier access to the second floor.
Commissioner Matt McConnell said he thinks non-government entities have gotten elevators installed for less and would like "more research" into the idea.
The two also discussed problems with radio communications between various police and fire agencies, and considered a request by Jeffrey Gill, warden at the county jail, to purchase a larger transport van for times when prisoners must be taken to the hospital.
Commissioner Brian Beader was absent.

A wallow in Léoville and Langoa Barton
Look out for Julia's notes in 2003 bordeaux in bottle to be published on Friday. The following notes were made at a Léoville Barton and Langoa Barton dinner held at Taillevent in Paris at the end of last year with Anthony and Eva Barton in attendance as well as luminaries of the French and British wine world. It was, yet again, organised by Bipin Desai of Riverside, southern California. Bipin always plays with vintages and flights to try to put vintages of similar character and quality together so they were not served in date order (see below tasting notes for the order in which these wines were served) but I...
