Mayor Blake,
Please do your job and administer Milford city services, as you were elected to do.
This morning again, Public Works behaved like a sullen child. In fact, as trash removal services rolled past the trash containers on East Broadway, leaving them uncollected and easy pickings for birds and animals, I questioned why my covered receptacle was not emptied. The city employee quipped back an adolescent answer.
As you'll see in accompanying photos, East Broadway is not only awash in trash from Hurricane Sandy and the snowstorm Nemo, but in today's trash left uncollected by Public Works. More than ten days after the snowstorm, huge snow banks block parking spaces for many residents who live year round at Milford beach, and more dangerously, block the vision of motorists and pedestrians approaching area intersections.Trash services are sporadic.
Has Milford not cultivated its shoreline real estate over the years? Does it not benefit from active beach recreational enterprise? Is the tax base not amply supplemented by the shoreline community—owners and renters who pay high taxes and rents? Does it not benefit from residents who volunteer for beach cleanups? Aren't beach residents entitled to the same services the rest of Milford receives? How can the city bite the hand that feeds it—its residents?
The massive amount of snow that fell impeded normal living for all of us, whether we live on a city street, country road or at the beach. Most of us waited patiently for the roads to be plowed, but beach dwellings were left behind. Still, with trash day approaching, we dutifully placed our recycling containers and trash receptacles on top of the snow—since the only other place to deposit them was in the middle of a narrow street.
Having been the brunt of Public Works' unfoundedly sloppy treatment in the past, I was especially careful to place my covered bin in easy reach, on the snow. Other students who live adjacent, left their bins on the sidewalk, clearly in reach as well. Trash was properly bagged.
But ill-tempered Public Works employees refused pick up.
The only guess to explain why Public Works' refuses to pick up this trash is volume. Indeed, our stretch of the road is populated by many students crowded into beach cottages, as owners like to maximize rental income and the city encourages this. Yes, students are notorious for trashing the neighborhood. But if only one bin is misplaced, our trash collectors whiz by another ten bins, properly placed.
Does this carelessness, and callousness, serve the larger community or the city of Milford? Does it enhance Milford's coastline? Milford beaches are the most unkempt beaches in southern Connecticut, and we can thank our Public Works department, and Mayor Blake's lack of attention, for that.
When it comes to city services at the beach, the city is absent. Mayor Blake permits the Public Works department to arbitrarily decide when to apply city services, and when not to; when to pick up trash, when to leave it; when and how much snow to remove.
Why does this natural resource, the precious shoreline, suffer the abuse not only of nature, but of its own city employees?
Mayor Blake, reign in your capricious and ineffective Public Works employees or replace them with people who care about their city.

Jamberry Nail Shields
The cheapest mani you'll ever get.
I spent months silently coveting a coworker's funky, flawless, and ever-changing manis, wondering how the heck she afforded such luxuries. When I complimented her on her perfect digits, I was floored at the reply: "I just use nail wraps from the drug store." What? I flashed back to my childhood experiences with Lee Press-On Nails that were here one hour, gone the next; high school and college days of my sloppy, DIY paint jobs; and, in recent years, impatiently sitting at the nail salon and forking over far too much cash for something so futile. Predictably, I'm now hooked on this sticky miracle. The decals are a cinch to apply (there's a how-to video on the website), and the end result lasts nearly as long as—and costs considerably less than—a professional manicure. And since Jamberry offers patterns that run the gamut from fireworks to footballs to flowers (holiday-themed designs too!), I plan to soon own the most talked-about nails in the office.

I'm so glad you found Jamberry Nails! I found them this time last year and it's the best decision I've ever made. It had been a loooonnnngggg time since I had cute nails (a sacrifice to stay home with my kids) and now I have them every day. I just love hearing stories like this from ladies who feel more beautiful and confident now that they have pretty nails again :) I'd love to see pics of your Jamberry manis!

What to do with tiny, hard oranges?
We recently moved into a house with a small orange tree in the back, but because of the drought and the previous tenants' neglect, the tree is, well, pathetic. There are now scores of oranges on it, but even at their ripest, they're tiny and hard. Any ideas? I hate to waste all these fresh oranges, but they're not worth the effort to peel to eat straight and not juicy enough to make juice worth the effort.
I would suggest using them to make marmalade and/or liqueur, since for both of these you mainly need the peel. You could candy the peel, too, but in my opinion that's way more work than it's worth, unless you really love candied orange peel!
You could also try leaving them on the tree for a while. Citrus fruits can stay on the tree for months, and they tend to get sweeter with time, even if they don't look any riper. Last year our tree was covered with ripe-looking fruit that was too sour too eat in January, but was delicious by May.
if it is drought, those oranges ain't gonna get any better. too dry for nice marmalade.
i go with the decorative, smell-worthy aspects....
hey anyone, what about "preserved oranges" like med-style "preserved lemon"? what do you think?
re: alkapal
Preserved oranges are an interesting idea. The process would soften them, and if they're on the sour side, it might work well. Besides, it sound like there's no need to worry about wasting them on an experiment.
I still think marmalade could work, since the peel is cooked with water, which would rehydrate it. Again, it couldn't hurt to try. I would make a small batch just as a test , and if it's edible, stick it in the fridge and make a larger batch to put through the canning process.
re: alkapal
re: thursday
This is the recipe I use:
She also has citrus liqueur recipes, which you might want to try. (I use 100-proof vodka rather than grain alcohol when I make liqueurs).
I was going to include a few more urls, but really, if you do a search on "preserved lemons" you will find a zillion recipes online, all pretty much the same.
Take an orange off as you need one for zest. Sometimes, neglected oranges are just too hard even for marmalade, but you can always zest them. I would leave the rest on the tree as long as you can... sometimes they'll turn into something worth juicing (but hardly worth eating). If they're really bad, it makes a nice garbage disposal freshener.
I have a lemon, orange, and mystery citrus tree in my yard (they came with the house) and the first year I was trying to figure everything out, including the sprinklers and drip system. After a crop of hard, juiceless fruits (and one big thorny good-for-nothing tree), I pruned them all way back, fed them citrus tree food, fixed the drip system and they have bounced back with a vigor. The mystery citrus tree has produced 2 fruits - they look like orange lemons.
I just wanted to give you encouragement that next year will be much, much better.
As the old saying goes, when you get lemons, make lemonade. Or in this case, orangeade. But not the drink! Since the oranges are small, how about making pommander balls? It's a really old tradition, they smell great, last forever, and if you make them now, they should be perfect as really original and wonderful Christmas/Hannakah gifts next winter! Here's a website for how to make them, but a Google will bring up tons more:
With the price of cloves, you probably don't want to turn them all into pommander balls. On the other hand, if you do, you can probably sell them at a nice price to boutiques and linen shops in your area. Bulk cloves may be the cheapest, but sometimes MacFrugals or whatever they call themselves now have spices at a really cheap price.
I don't think they will make a decent marmalade. Orange marmalade is traditionally made with Seville oranges, including the thick pith under the zest. But you might experiment to see if you can turn them into an orange jelly. It would probably require extra pectin. And the preserved oranges, a la Morocco, sound interesing. If you try that and it's successful, let us know!

Yipee! It's our 59th Republic Day. So, this is a good time to understand the true meaning of a republic, isn't it?
Here is one meaning, given by Franklin P. Adams,
The true republic: men, their rights and nothing more; women, their rights and nothing less.
That is a great quote (though it took me a second reading to understand it completely, the dimwit that I am!).

As one of its proudest achievements, the U.S. government's presidential transition process stands as an example to be followed by emerging democracies around the world. An unfailingly peaceful and respectful transition of power at the highest level of government stands as a key to the ongoing survival of a free democracy.
Despite the apparent ease with which it happens, presidential transitions are a complex process requiring coordination, cooperation and not a small quantity of money.
Oval Office or Personnel Office?
So there you are, starting your first day as President of the United States. What will you do first? Develop a national health insurance program? Slice government spending and eliminate the national debt? Rescue Social Security? Nope. Those chores will have to wait. Right now, you need to begin filling between 6,000 to 9,000 positions that will directly serve your new administration.
Most new presidential administrations manage to fill no more than about 350 positions during their first year in office. Remember that nominations for many of the most critical positions to be filled in the first year -- the secretaries of the Cabinet agencies -- must be approved by the Senate, where you had better hope your political party holds the majority. Considering that filling all executive branch positions requires finding competent people, negotiating with them, clearing their backgrounds, and getting all the paper work done, it's not surprising that so few positions are filled in the first year.
Sadly, but truly, most new presidential administrations find it very difficult to get much "change" done right away when their first two years are spend hiring the help they need to do the job.
Most new presidents being the transition process by filling their White House staff positions first, since quickly establishing clear lines of responsibility and communications -- internal and external -- greatly speeds the overall process. The average presidential transition takes about 80 days, with 70 days spent hiring the White House staff. President Clinton filled his White House in 73 days, while in 2000, President George W. Bush got the job done far faster.
Where Can You Find These Jobs?
All positions to be filled by presidential appointment are listed in the "Plum Book." Every four years, just after the presidential election, the "United States Government Policy and Supporting Positions," commonly called the Plum Book is published alternately by the House and Senate. The Plum Book is a listing of over 9,000 civil service leadership and support positions in the Legislative and Executive branches of the Federal Government that may be subject to noncompetitive appointments. These positions include heads of federal agencies and their immediate subordinates, policy executives and advisors, and aides who report to these officials.
Funding and Facilitating the Transition
Before 1963, the new president's political party funded the transition process. Due to inflation and a realization that a swift and smooth transition was vital to good government, Congress passed the Presidential Transition Act of 1963 (PTA) authorizing funding for incoming presidential administrations. The act was amended by Congress in 1976, to increase the authorization for a presidential transition to $3 million, with $2 million available to the president-elect and vice president-elect and $1 million to the outgoing president and vice president.
In 1988, Congress enacted the Presidential Transitions Effectiveness Act to increase federal funding to $5 million to support a change of administrations. Of this total, $3.5 million was authorized to be appropriated for services and facilities to the president-elect and vice president-elect. The outgoing president and vice president were authorized $1.5 million in federal funds. A total of $250,000 would be returned to the Treasury if the outgoing vice president were subsequently elected president. These funds were authorized to be increased in future transitions to accommodate inflation. The new legislation also amended the PTA to require that private contributions and names of transition personnel be publicly disclosed.
Finally in 2000, Congress enacted the Presidential Transition Act of 2000, which authorizes funding for the training or orientation of people the incoming president intends to appoint to certain key positions in the new administration.

T'Latte in Bellevue is one of the 120 coffee shops featured as a "coffee spot with character" in artist and author Marsha Glazière's book, "Electic Coffee Spots in Puget Sound."
Glazière, of Tacoma, is hosting a "Coffee Spot Safari" contest to encourage people to visit the coffee shops she featured in her book. Winners will get Glazière's coffee related art, calendars and her new book featuring her paintings, photos and prose of 120 coffee spots with character throughout the Puget Sound region.
Glazière writes about T'Latte:
It is very nice indeed to find a quiet coffee spot in downtown Bellevue. Located just off Main Street (which barely resembles the former main drag through town), T-Latte shares a lovely courtyard with the condos next door, where the sound of a waterfall contributes to a peaceful coffee or tea break. The furnishings inside are tastefully simple yet comfortable. T-Latte offers coffee roasted by Caffé Vita, a large selection of teas, including their own barley roasted chai, and bubble tea flavored with their own special honey.
The Coffee Spot Safari runs Dec. 15, 2012 to Jan. 31, 2013. For full details, rules and list of prizes at: www.marshaglaziere.com/eclectic-coffee-spot-safari.
T'Latte is at 37 103rd Ave NE, Bellevue.

A 21-year-old Hopkins man has been charged with a felony-level controlled substance crime after being arrested by South Lake Minnetonka Police in Shorewood last week.
The criminal complaint filed against Romeo Deville Eady, signed by South Lake Minnetonka Police Department Sergeant Stephen Neururer, indicates Eady's vehicle was stopped Jan. 26 after officers saw him driving near the Holiday station on Hwy. 7. Aware Eady had a revoked license and numerous unpaid fines for driving after revocation, officers approached Eady's vehicle and reported smelling a strong marijuana odor.
Eady was placed in the back of a squad car, and a search of his vehicle revealed a digital scale and cell phone. Police say they found a bag of marijuana lying on the floorboard of the squad car when they returned to talk with Eady.
Police subsequently executed a search warrant the following day, Jan. 27, at Eady's home on the 700 block of 8th Avenue in Hopkins. At least two bags of marijuana, which the complaint says matched the bag found in the back of the squad car the previous night, were found. A digital scale, what are described as "drug packaging materials" and $700 in cash were also found and seized.
Investigators additionally obtained a warrant for records of the cell phone seized from Eady on the night of his arrest. Court documents say the phone contained several text messages "setting up narcotics transactions."
In all, about 42.5 grams of marijuana was seized—less than two ounces.
Eady faces one fifth-degree controlled substance charge, a felony, for possession with intent to sell. The sentence guidelines for the charge are up to five years in prison and a $10,000 fine.

Please watch Parts 1 and 2 first if you haven't done so already. Nothing mentioned in previous parts will be repeated here. Part 1 Part 2 ***GT you rule! Thank you so much for the feature!*** Although this entire list was challenging to rank, #20-5 were by far the most difficult. These 16 franchises were so neck and neck that I wound up moving each of them up and down the list several times. In the end, I settled on this order because I HAD to settle on something, so of course this means everything is debatable and nothing is set in stone. All franchises were judged based on the following criteria: - Quality (most important) - Impact and legacy (almost as important) - Sales and popularity (not as important, but still matters) - Critical response (least important, but still worth something) Nothing was easy, and there were tons of outstanding franchises that didn't even make the honorable mentions, so if your favorites aren't here, I'm sorry I didn't have room for them =( Enjoy! =) Click here to read my blog on this entire countdown.

Took my boyfriend here for his 21st and couldn't have expected anything better!! student budgets managed to get us a superior room upgrade for 3 nights on a last minute deal through the internet. value for money is excellent. the hotel even arranged a car to take us to and from the airport with little fuss. the room was large and very comfortable, the bed was huge! the room even had a sitting area and massive wardrobes, compared to other 4*hotels ive stayed in this one is definately the best! the bathroom was more than adequate and the speakers in there added that lil quality touch. he breakfast was great, buffet style catering for all diets, gluten free, vegitarian, low fat etc, and the service was brilliant. Room service meals were really nice too, the lasagne is a must try, i still crave it now!hehe. The communal areas of the hotel are cbrilliant too, everything is immaculate and beautifuly presented; marble floors, beatiful designed interior.
As the hotel is a little out of town they do offer a courtesy bus which is very ueful although if you are planning on getting the last one back in the evening either think again n pay 20Euros for a taxi or be prepared to battle, its every man for themselves!
overall i found nothing to grumble about this hotel, it was really excellent value for money and the facilities were of high quality
....only thing that did puzzle me was the hotel changed the booking from my name to my partners on realising i was a woman....slightly odd and old fashioned i thought!!

Help! Hit men are on the loose in northern Wisconsin!
The rugged landscape of fictional Kennesha County is a great setting for a rugged Wisconsin woman, who also happens to be a deputy sheriff, to survive while being hunted like a deer in November.
Deputy Brynn McKenzie, who reminded me of Marge from the movie Fargo, responds to a 911 call to a remote cottage on Lake Mondac and finds a Milwaukee social worker and his wife, a high powered attorney, executed.
She also finds the killers are still there!
I had images of Deliverance, Rambo and No Country for Old Men while cheering for Brynn as she apes a Wisconsinite female version of Grizzly Adams being chased by killers who seem awfully adept at woodsmanship even though they reside in Milwaukee and Chicago respectively.
I may joke about the stereotypical characters, but this is a fine, taut thriller that, though predictable, is pure put your "brain in a bucket" summer reading.
Just don't take this book to the cabin up north on vacation!

I recently traveled to Washington, D.C., to represent cancer patients and survivors from Manatee and Sarasota counties to call on Congress to make cancer a national priority.
I joined more than 600 American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN) volunteers and staff from across the country to ask lawmakers in our nation's capital to protect funding for cancer research and prevention programs, co-sponsor legislation to improve patient quality of life and support a 94-cent increase to the federal tobacco tax.
I thank Rep. Vern Buchanan for co-sponsoring H.R. 1339 (The Palliative Care and Hospice Education and Training Act) and hope that he will also co-sponsor H.R. 1666 (The Patient Centered Quality of Life Act).
I met with members of Congress and their staffs and made it clear that Congress needs to put partisanship aside on behalf of the nearly 14 million cancer survivors in the United States and more than 1.6 million people in America who are estimated to be diagnosed this year.
We let our lawmakers know that volunteers from Florida, and from every state across the country, are counting on them to take a stand and not let another year pass -- a year when 570,000 people in America will die from cancer -- by supporting what works and funding research that can help finish the fight.

For Bayou Residents, Floods Are A Fact Of Life
By Greg Allen
By opening the Morganza floodway, the Army Corps of Engineers is sending Mississippi water through communities that thousands call home. But, even as they're forced to evacuate, few are blaming the Corps. Those who live along Louisiana's bayous aren't happy about having to fight the river, but say it's something they've grown up with and which they take very seriously.

---- — BYFIELD — The Governor's Academy put last week's streak-ending loss behind it yesterday and beat Buckingham Browne & Nichols School 30-14.
While BB&N had its undefeated record broken at the hands of St. Sebastian's School last week, The Governor's Academy faced a loss far more difficult to handle.
Losing is something that The Governor's Academy is not used to. In fact, last week's 35-14 loss to Milton Academy broke a 23-game win streak. After such a disappointing loss, The Governer's Academy knew that a strong week of practice in preparation for their game against a 5-1 BB&N Knights team was vital.
"It wasn't just a normal week of practice," The Governor's Academy senior quarterback Tommy Vailas said. "Normally we don't practice with full pads but this week we did. Coach (Jim O'Leary) pushed us hard."
The tempo change at practice was meant to help the Governor's forget and move on.
"We learned from last week," O'Leary said. "We played a really good team in Milton but we didn't play our game. We had to learn from it and just wipe it away. We had to start a whole new (streak). We had a great week of practice and we did what we had to do."
If the Govs (6-1) were going to get back to their winning ways, it would have to be despite falling behind 7-0 and battling wind gusts of over 40 miles per hour.
"We talked about that the last few days," O'Leary said. "We knew it was going to be windy but we thought it may be rainy, too. We had two different types of game plans to prepare for both. We are pretty good about grinding the ball out. That's our strength so it probably worked in our favor today."
Late in the first half, things began to look up for the Governor's as miscues by the Knights were converted into points.
With just under three minutes remaining in a tied game, the Knights mishandled a kick return and found themselves on their own 5-yard-line. Three plays later, the Governor's blocked senior Jimmy Cochran's punt and recovered the ball at the 1-yard line. Vailas took it from there, sneaking his way into the end zone for the second of his three touchdowns on the day.
"(Vailas) is a mature kid," O'Leary said. "He's a student of the game, I think. He's a very good athlete."
The second half was dominated by the Governor's as the special teams woes continued for the Knights. With three minutes remaining in the contest and the Governor's enjoying a 14-point lead, O'Leary decided to attempt a fake field goal on fourth and long. Though the pass was unsuccessful, the Knights first down possession resulted in a fumble and was recovered by The Governor's Academy.
Three plays later, the Governor's once again lined up to kick a field goal. This time they attempted one, though, and had it blocked. The play resulted in a safety and two more points for the Governor's when the Knights recovered the blocked field goal in the end zone before being tackled.
A substantial winning streak was lost last week, but the Governor's were happy to earn the victory and get back to their winning ways.
"It feels great," Vailas said. "I only have two games left but it feels good to start a new streak anyway."

"Let's get something straight… You want to protect your kids and help them, but you don't understand them. What goes on in their brains is beyond you…"
On January 31st, BSW will welcome Neuroscientist and Author of Teen Brain Teen Mind, Dr. Ron Clavier, for the first in an exciting program of expert speakers.
Dr. Clavier's insightful and illuminating lecture, Understanding the Teenage Brain, demonstrates that an understanding of the teenage brain is the key to unlocking the mysteries of why teens think and act the way they do. His own deep understanding of human brain development allows him to show how neurological changes in a young person's developing brain underlie many behaviors and emotions.
Illustrating his ideas with examples and observations, he provides coping tips and strategies for young people and their families, easing tensions and improving communications to make the adolescent years healthier and more productive.
Dr. Clavier is skilled in making connections between science and society, and making scientific concepts easy to understand. An experienced and dynamic speaker, he is honest, funny and down-to-earth. His talks have been enjoyed by teenagers, parents and educators all over the world.
Dr. Clavier's work is informed by a background in neuroscience, biochemical psychiatry and clinical psychology. From Montreal, he achieved his Doctorate in Experimental and Physiological Psychology before completing Postdoctoral training in Biochemical Psychiatry. He taught anatomy and psychology in medical schools before opening his own clinical psychology practice. He also consults in the corporate, law enforcement, community, health and education sectors, advising those who work with young people. Through his television series Adolescence: The Stormy Decade (2001-2007) and his writing, he helps teenagers, their families and those working with teens.

As with objects, there are several different ways that we can create an array.
var ary = new Array();
var ary2 = new Array(3);
var ary3 = new Array('1','2','3','4');
var ary4 = ['1','2','3','4'];
The first of these simply creates a new array called ary which contains no items. The items would need to be added after the array has been created. The second example creates an array that already contains three items each of which currently has a value of null since no values have actually been assigned yet. The last two examples create identical arrays each with four items and each of which assigns the values '1', '2', '3', and '4' to those four items. The [] notation is a shortcut way of referencing a new Array the same way that {} is a shortcut for a new Object.
We can both assign values to and reference values in an array by using the [] notation with a number representing the item within the array that we want to reference. JavaScript arrays are numbered from zero and so ary4[2] currently contains a value of '3'. You can assign a value to any element in an array, even one way beyond those items that currently exist. Where you do assign a value to an element outside of the existing array, the array will be expanded to include that element and intervening elements will be null.
Because arrays have an order to the entries we can also set up a loop to process through all of the entries in the array one after the other in the specified order. We'll get to how to do that in a subsequent tutorial.
Some programming language have the concept of multi-dimensional arrays where you can assign an array to have two or more ordered values associated with each item instead of only one. Such languages would allow items to be referenced using a[x,y] or even a[x,y,z]. JavaScript only allows one dimensional arrays. That isn't really any real disadvantage though because JavaScript allows the items in an array to be anything at all and so we can place an array into each item in our array so as to effectively achieve the same result as a multi-dimensional array.
var a = [['1,1','1,2'],['2,1','2,2']];
This example defines an array of two elements each of which is an array of two elements (see how convenient the shortcut notation is). We can reference the item containing '2,1' for example using a[1][0] (which isn't greatly different from the a[1,0] notation that languages that do support two dimensional arrays would use.
var b = [3,'t',myobj,['x',3]];
It is however far more common when the various items are of different types to define them as properties of an object rather than as an array since such mixes of different types seldom have any order associated with them and using an array implies that the order has some meaning.
Associative Arrays
Some languages support the concept of associative arrays where the items in the array are named rather than numbered. Javascript does support this concept in that you can reference entries such as myobj['myprop'] however such associative array references are treated as object references in JavaScript and so myobj['myprop'] is equivalent to myobj.myprop and none of the additional methods or properties that arrays have and objects do not can be used with an associative array.

Updated: Nov. 15, 4 p.m.
Zia's on the Hill, who notified Patch Wednesday morning they'd be heading to Sunset Hills, didn't have the successful lunch they expected.
The city allegedly asked the food truck to leave their spot near St. Louis Bread Co.'s corporate headquarters.
Zia's apologized to customers on their Facebook page for the abbreviated visit.
"We will do what we can to get back there, but it doesn't look very promising," they said.
A handful of other St. Louis-area trucks, including Papa Tom's Fancy Franks and Sarah's Meltdown, have frequented the city within the past few months to serve lunch at Geyer Road office buildings, Laumeier Sculpture Park, and even the Route 66 Car Show in August.
But a city employee told Patch food trucks have never technically been allowed in Sunset Hills.
There's currently no city ordinance that allows these mobile businesses to set up shop within city limits, Assistant City Engineer Wesley Searcy said. That includes Laumeier Sculpture Park.
Adding the allowance would require a Board of Aldermen vote, which Searcy said would open up discussion how the city would enforce St. Louis County Health Department requirements, look into vendor histories, and "ensure vendors are good, wholesome, and clean."
Searcy said he wasn't sure if the Board of Aldermen will choose to pursue legislation.
Zia's is the only food truck that has been asked to leave, which drew the ire of the St. Louis Food Truck Association Wednesday night.
"We are trying to figure out how coming to feed the good people of Sunset Hills is any different than catering or delivery," read the Association's latest Facebook post. "WAIT I know what the difference is when we come sell to you direct the city of SUNSET HILLS gets tax revenue!! When we cater or deliver they don't get a DIME!! So why would you not want us sending you money??"

Multimedia Rich
I love the fact that the iPAQ hx2495 has both CF (CompactFlash) and SD (Secure Digital) card slots because with these slots, I can view photos from my camera and other cameras that support these popular formats on the PDA's colorful, 3.5-inch display. Also, because I can put two cards in the iPAQ hx2495, there's that much more potential for increased storage capacity. In addition to adding storage via the memory card slots, the iPAQ hx2495 has 192MB of internal memory, 80MB of which is available for persistent storage.
When I'm ready for a little music, the iPAQ hx2495 has Windows Media Player 10 Mobile and a standard size 3.5mm headphone jack (not 2.5mm as is found on some phones and smartphones). Windows Media Audio, Windows Media Video, and MP3 files are a few of the file formats that Windows Media Player 10 Mobile supports.
Plenty of Power & Connectivity
The iPAQ hx2495 runs on Windows Mobile 5.0 and an Intel PXA270 processor running at 520MHz, letting me accomplish numerous tasks while on the go. Combine the processing power with integrated Wi-Fi, and you can surf the Internet, check email, and more just as you could from a computer. The possibilities as to what you can do are increased even more through the included pocket versions of Microsoft Outlook, Word, Excel, and Internet Explorer.
Wi-Fi isn't the only connectivity option on the iPAQ hx2495: This PDA also has integrated Bluetooth for cable-free connections to other Bluetooth devices, such as wireless headphones, keyboards, mobile phones, printers, and more. Serial IR is also available for users who want to connect Serial IR devices.
Backing up one's data is obviously important. The iPAQ hx2495 comes with an iPAQ Backup application to help ensure your data is backed up regularly, even when you're away from the computer and unable to sync. For security, HP ProtectTools, in collaboration with Credant Technologies, lets you use a PIN or password to control access to the device.

NORFOLK, Va. (AP) — Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney tapped Congressman. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin as his vice presidential running mate today, turning to the architect of a conservative and intensely controversial long-term budget plan to remake Medicare and cut trillions in federal spending.
Romney made his announcement to supporters via a phone app. "Mitt's Choice for VP is Paul Ryan," it said and implored backers to spread the word.
The ticket-mates arranged their first joint appearance later in the morning at a naval museum, the initial stop of a bus tour through four battleground states in as many days. The USS Wisconsin, berthed at the museum, was their bunting-draped backdrop.
In a written statement, Romney's campaign said that Ryan has worked in Congress to "eliminate the federal deficit, reform the tax code and preserve entitlements for future generations."
Ryan's selection — as well as Romney's own nomination — will be ratified by delegates to the Republican National Convention that begins on Aug. 27 in Tampa, Fla.
President Barack Obama and Vice President Joseph Biden will be nominated for a second term at the Democratic convention the following week.
The Democrats' re-election campaign withheld any reaction to Ryan's selection until after the formal announcement.
One campaign official said Romney had settled on Ryan as his pick on Aug. 1, more than a week ago, and informed Beth Myers, the longtime aide who had shepherded the secretive process that led to the selection. The official spoke on condition of anonymity to provide details.
It was not known when Romney informed Ryan he wanted him on the ticket.
At 42, Ryan is a generation younger than the 65-year-old Romney.
His conservative credentials are highly regarded by fellow Republican House members, while numerous polls found that Romney's own were suspect among the party's core supporters during the primaries of winter and spring.

|Combination of vancomycin and rifampicin for the treatment of persistent coagulase-negative staphylococcal bacteremia in preterm neonates.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23328960 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|Coagulase-negative staphylococci are the most common cause of late-onset sepsis in premature neonates. The optimal approach in persistent coagulase-negative staphylococcal bacteremia, despite adequate treatment with glycopeptides, is not well established. A retrospective study was conducted on preterm neonates with persistent coagulase-negative staphylococcal bacteremia treated with the combination of vancomycin-rifampicin. Ten cases were included, with a median gestational age of 26 weeks (range 24 weeks + 3 days-31 weeks + 4 days, interquartile range 25 weeks + 3 days-29 weeks + 3 days) and a median birth weight of 715 g (range 555-2,030). The median age at the onset of infection was 9 days (range 5-37). The most frequent clinical presentation was apnea or increased ventilatory support. Bacteremia persisted for a median of 9 (range 6-19) days until rifampicin initiation. Bacteremia was resolved in all cases on vancomycin-rifampicin with no serious side effects. Conclusion: Our study provides data supporting the safety and efficacy of vancomycin-rifampicin combination for the treatment of persistent coagulase-negative staphylococcal bacteremia in preterm neonates.

What is professional indemnity insurance?
What do I need to know?
The problem with PI insurance is that it's complicated. Worthwhile, yes, but complicated. It's unlikely you have the time or the inclination to find out what's what.
Thankfully, you don't have to be an insurance know-it-all. You just need to know someone who is.
You've come to the right place.
Professional indemnity insurance is for professional people or businesses that provide a specialist service – design, advice, words, numbers, ideas or other expertise – to paying clients.
People and businesses just like you in fact.
It protects you if one of those paying clients (or a third party) alleges you've made a mistake and it's cost them money. And they decide to sue you for their loss.
Your policy pays for a specialist solicitor to defend you and, if it turns out you're culpable, picks up the tab for compensation or damages you have to pay your client.
This is an easy one.
It comes down to three things: money, time and legal expertise. You might have one or two but you'll need lots of all three if a claim drops through your letterbox.
Because any allegation against you, regardless of whether you're actually at fault or not, has to be defended. Ignoring it won't make it go away and, honestly, can you say you're fully equipped to fight the good fight? If you're not, can you risk damaging your business and your reputation trying?
Professional indemnity insurance is your secret weapon. Having it means you can concentrate on your work and not worry about the consequences of your clients' finger-pointing.
You get the might of an expert insurer nestling in your back pocket, ready to fight your corner and protect your finances.
You're free to run your business, safe in the knowledge that at least you'll still have one when it's all over.
If you have a piece of string, now's a good time to measure it.
Actually, it's not as finger-in-the-air as that. But getting the right level of cover isn't an exact science.
The important thing to remember is that your insurance covers you. So your level of cover should be enough to fix the worst possible mistake you could make.
You need to think about these things: what kind of work am I doing? What can go wrong? What sort of company am I working for? How much am I being paid? Is my work part of a larger project? What could I be sued for?
Your cover should be enough to fix worst-case scenario mistakes, pay compensation to your client AND stump up for the legal costs of defending you.
Buying as much as you can afford is a good place to start. You can never have too much.
Apart from the warm glow that comes with being insured, you mean?.
If you're buying your insurance from us, the first thing you get is an email with links to your policy documents. This appears in your inbox a moment or two after you've bought your cover. (We don't post anything. Email is quicker, easier, cheaper, safer, and more reliable.)
Those documents are: a policy schedule, a policy wording, a summary of cover, a duty of disclosure, our terms of business, a statement of fact, an invoice and a selection of certificates depending on what insurance you buy.
If you pay by Direct Debit, your insurer posts you a payment schedule.
Some documents have our name on and some have your insurer's name on. Although it sounds like there's a lot to go through, it's really not that bad. At least you don't have to sign anything or send anything back.
Glad you asked.
The simple answer is: we know what we're doing. Professional insurance is all we do so we know what you need, even if you don't.
We also know that buying insurance can be, well, a bit of a pain. So we make sure getting yours is quick and hassle-free.
We do all that while treating you like a human being, too. You won't find a call centre here. Or a phone menu. And we've banned nonsense insurance jargon.
Anything else? Well, there's the great stuff you get, such as 10% off everything at MOO. We have an 'I'm insured!' badge for your website too – perfect for the professional professional.
Also, you get to talk about your business in front of thousands on our blog, and we'll give you money each time you recommend us.
Plus, every insurance-related question you can think of is answered in our School of Risk, and you'll get our quarterly risk advice email – The Waggle – to help you avoid problems in the first place.
If you're after a second opinion, have a look at our customers' feedback. They're the ones you should really listen to.
Second time lucky
Having failed miserably to convince you that directors' and officers' insurance is pointless, we're going to try again. With professional indemnity insurance.
You might think you need it, but here are five solid reasons you don't. And this time we're serious. Just like the people in that picture there.

Roger Stone & Citizens United Not Timid, CUNT!!!!
by linfar, Wed Jan 23, 2008 at 03:31:27 PM EST
Roger Stone, a Republican dirty trickster, has formed a group called Citizens United Not Timid, CUNT, and filed papers with the IRS as a "527" organization so they can use the acronym on t-shirts.
The whole purpose is to use the acronym in conjunction with Hillary Clinton to sell T-shirts for $25 from their website.
Moreover the website will be pushed to hundreds of thousands of addresses that Stone and another GOP operative have accumulated over the years from 170 different email lists including the names of opinion-makers, political activists and industry contacts. Stone's aim is to make the T-shirt sales work as "billboard education." And He hopes the campaign will spread by word of mouth thanks to the "humor" element.
According to Stone, "The more people go to the site, the more people buy the T-shirts, the more people wear the T-shirts, the more people are educated. Consequently, our mission has been achieved." Though neither the word itself nor even the acronym is ever mentioned, "it's one-word education. That's our mission. No issues. No policy groups. No position papers. This is a simple committee with an unfortunate acronym...."
Anyone who thinks woman hatred is a thing of the past needs to wake up and smell the roses. And anyone who seriously doubts the Republicans are terrified of Hillary in the general election better listen up now.
There is a double standard operating between the seriousness of racism compared to the seriousness of sexism. Imagine a white man standing up and calling out to Hillary, 'how do we stop the nigger?' Can anyone doubt there would be a hue and cry which would bring down the rafters.
The flood of vitriolic robo-calls against Hillary in South Carolina, the 'how do we stop the bitch?' comment to which John McCain laughed, and now CUNT as a 527 is beyond ugly. It is woman-hating bigotry and it is hate speech. As such there needs to be an outcry from all the candidates and from the media on a par with that which would accompany calling Barack Obama a Spade and/or a Nigger!!

Quantitative Analysis - Laboratory Policies
Lab Manual:
There is not a separate laboratory manual for this course; the experimental procedures are in the back of the textbook.
Lab Notebook:
Each student will be responsible for purchasing a Lab Notebook with numbered, duplicate pages, and a handwritten outline, or summary, of the steps to be taken during each experiment will be recorded in the notebook. These procedures will normally be reviewed in class prior to the date that the analysis is performed. No unknowns will be issued until this outline has been reviewed by the instructor. A copy of this outline will be handed in with the lab report. All data obtained will also be recorded in the lab notebook, and the instructor may examine the notebook at any time. A well-kept notebook may be the basis for bonus points on the lab grade.
Lab Reports:
A formal, written lab report is required for each laboratory exercise (10/semester). Lab reports will be scored based upon the following rubric.
Grading Rubric for Lab Reports
Component / %
Basis of Evaluation
Organization / 10%
The report should be in the standard format of Introduction, Theory, Experimental, Results/Conclusions, References
Mechanics of Writing / 10%
The report should be written using correct sentence structure and free of errors in grammar, spelling, and punctuation
Content / 60%
The report must clearly describe the theory of the determination, including all relevant chemical reactions, equations, and any other major factors which would affect the analysis.
References / 20%
The report must include at least 5 relevant references from legitimate sources and references must be listed in a recognized scientific format. All references must be cited in the body of the report at the point where the referenced material is presented.
Other factors
Points will be deducted for lateness at a rate of 10 points/week. Reports will not be accepted after 2 weeks. Plagiarism will result in a grade of 0 on the report and may result in other sanctions appropriate to the severity of the offence.
Chemistry 307 lab reports are due on the dates indicated on the course schedule. Late reports will be penalized at the rate of 1 letter grade per week. For example: If a report is due on Monday and would have received a grade of B, on Wednesday it would receive a grade of B-, on Friday it would receive a grade of C+, on the next Monday it would receive a grade of C, etc. No reports will be accepted after a two week period has elapsed. (This policy does not apply to numerical results).
Reports should be handed in (in duplicate) in an 8 x 10 manila folder. The reports should consist of the following components.
1. Introduction:
This is a brief summary of the purpose of the experiment and the basic analytical principles involved.
2. Theoretical Discussion:
This is the bulk of the report. The theoretical discussion should cover the specific theory of the determination, including all relevant chemical reactions and equations, and include such factors as function of particular reagents, method errors and means of offsetting them, impurities, formation of precipitates, detection of endpoints, blanks, indicators, pH requirements, temperature, and any other factors which would affect the analysis. The student is expected to use various reference books, the textbook for the course and other textbooks, and original research articles to obtain this information, and these sources must be acknowledged in the report. Each report must contain at least five different references and at least three original references should be utilized during the course of the semester. The original references may not be from online sources, and must be accompanied by a short summary of the article on a separate sheet of paper.
3. Experimental:
This will be the duplicate experimental procedure outline from your lab notebook.
4. Numerical Results:
These results should include the results for three individual samples, the mean result of the three samples, and the average deviation. If one result can be discarded on the basis of a Q-test, this fact should be reported on the result sheet and this result may be omitted from the calculation of the mean. The actual calculation for at least one sample should be shown, and the duplicate data sheet from the lab notebook should accompany the report.
The numerical results will be graded separately from the theoretical discussion report. The numerical grade will be based upon the following:
Difference between reported and true value Grade
0.00 - 0.1 % 10
0.11 - 0.2 % 9
0.21 - 0.35 % 8
0.36 - 0.5 % 7
0.51 - 1.0 % 6
more than 1.0 % 5
Each of the three individual sample results is worth 10 points, and the mean is also worth 10 points. The precision grade will be based on 10 points also, with one point deducted for each one per cent of relative average deviation. Therefore, each analysis has a total value of 50 points.
5. References:
References should be in the following format:
Willard, H.H., Merritt, L.L., and Dean, J.A., Instrumental Methods of Analysis, 4th ed, Van Nostrand, Princeton, N.J., 1965, pp. 74-78.
Patton, J., and Reeder, W., "New Indicator for Titration of Calcium with (Ethylenedinitrilo)-tetraacetate," Analytical Chemistry, 28, 1026 (1956).

By MARTA HEPLER DRAHOS
TRAVERSE CITY — Judy Mallory was diagnosed with arthritis after her knees swelled to twice their normal size.
For more than a dozen years she struggled with the pain, trying one remedy after another. Meanwhile she chalked up the muscle aches, headaches, fatigue and other maladies that came and went to overexertion or stress.
But when memory problems began to cause trouble at her job, Mallory knew there was something else wrong. In 2011 she recalled an article she'd saved in a file. Rereading it, she recognized her symptoms as Lyme Disease, most likey contracted after she was repeatedly bitten by bugs during an outdoors visit with a Traverse City friend.
By the time it was diagnosed by a specialist in Saginaw, the disease had already reached a chronic state. Now Mallory is hoping a new Lyme Disease support group will help others in the area cope with the disease. The group's first meeting is set for 7 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 30 at the Living Hope Chalet on Three Mile Road.
Mallory said the idea for a support group stemmed from conversations she had at a July Lyme Disease awareness and education program presented in Traverse City by the Michigan Lyme Disease Association.
"I noticed that everybody seemed to know somebody that has Lyme Disease but nobody tells," said Mallory, 71, of Mesick. "We need to encourage each other to be vocal. It's like some deep, dark secret. And it shouldn't be. We did nothing wrong to get this Lyme."
Lyme Disease, caused by a spirochetal bacterial infection that is thought to be transmitted predominantly by the bite of the Ixodes Scapular or deer tick, is a complex disease and one about which there are many misconceptions, said Linda Lobes, president of the Michigan Lyme Disease Association.
"Testing is the biggest problem," said Lobes, who contracted Lyme in 1989 after being bitten by a tick in the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. "There's no test out there that's 100 percent (accurate). The other is the bulls-eye rash. Not everybody gets a rash or can see it if they do. How many times do you look at your back in a mirror, or your skull? And some people don't remember getting bitten by a tick and that's not uncommon when you're looking at something the size of a period at the end of a sentence."
Another misconception is that Lyme can be cured quickly, Lobes said.
"If you're diagnosed quickly then the chances of it getting in your system are little to none. But if you're not treated quickly it can lead to a chronic state," she said. And that's where more problems come in.
Lyme symptoms can mimic the symptoms of some 300 other diseases, often causing patients to be misdiagnosed with multiple sclerosis, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, hypochondria or lupus, Lobes said. And because there are only 10 known Lyme Disease specialists in the state — none in northern Michigan — many doctors don't know what to look for.
"I went through I don't remember how many doctors and tests," said Pam Maize, 53, who believes she contracted Lyme Disease while camping in Interlochen or Lake Ann or walking in a field across from her Chums' Corner subdivision. "After three years they gave up. They said we don't know, go to a psychiatrist. They even asked if my husband beat me."
Then there is perhaps the biggest misconception of all: That Lyme Disease occurs only in other states, despite research to the contrary. More than 75 reported cases of Lyme were confirmed in Michigan in 2010 and 19 other reported cases were probable, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
"I get on average 300 to 400 calls a month. And half of those are saying doctors are telling them there's no Lyme in Michigan," Lobes said.
A new support group can not only help people recognize the symptoms of Lyme and seek earlier treatment but also help those with the disease cope better, Lobes said.
"It gives people the sense of knowing they're not alone, they're not crazy," she said. "It helps them start understanding their symptoms and why they are the way they are. Often people get sicker before they get better and that's because of the die-off process of the disease. And some people don't respond well to antibiotics and may choose natural treatment. They're there to help each other as far as what treatment they get and what they learn. It also helps educate family members to understand what their family members with the disease are going through."
For more information about the group or Lyme Disease, contact the Michigan Lyme Disease Association at (888) 784-5963.

You've heard all the "no-duh" tips before about preparing for a disaster - keep water and non-perishable food on hand, have a flashlight with extra batteries...
But this month the federal government is hoping you will get down to details to make a plan for, not the unthinkable, but the inevitable: wildfires, tornadoes, hurricanes, floods or even terrorism and pandemics.
To get the word out, FEMA, the Federal Emergency Management Authority, has built an extensive website to help citizens plan and prepare.
Ready.gov offers instructions on how to ready your family, your home, your car and even your business for an emergency. The site includes tips specific to disasters common in the Foster City/San Mateo area, such as fires, major power outages and more, and there are even diagrams on how to seal off your home in the event that the outside air is contaminated.
Here are five things Patch found that can help you get ready:
1. Build a tailor-made kit
You're smart enough to build a kit with food and water, but FEMA suggests making sure you include foods your family will actually eat. If you're kids have never eaten a bean in their life, maybe a disaster isn't the time to present them with a can of cold red kidney beans. Also, don't forget to include high-energy foods like protein bars and, FEMA suggests you skip salty foods that will make you thirsty.
2. How much water is enough?
Speaking of thirsty, FEMA suggests storing one gallon for each person for three days. But if you live someplace hot, consider storing more. Click here for more tips about what not to use to store your water.
3. Some non-food items you should have in your kit:
- Duct tape, plastic sheeting and dust masks in case you need to shelter in.
- A whistle to alert responders to your location
- Wrench or pliers to turn off utilities
- Baby wipes and garbage bags for personal sanitation
- A can opener
- (Click here for the full list)
4. Make a national communication plan
If you have relatives out of state, they may be just the ones you need when your local friends and family are mired in a disaster. Your Uncle Louie in Detroit or Aunt Emmy in Tampa could be the point-person if you and your family become separated. FEMA also offers a downloadable PDF document of a family emergency plan you can fill out and e-mail to family and friends. There is also a PDF contact card that kids can carry with them. (We've included both in the photos section of this article)
5. What exactly do you say to a terrorist?
If you received a bomb threat at work, would you know what do? FEMA has put together a list of questions to ask the caller, which you can view here. If you are caught in an explosion, did you know that whistling to a rescuer could save you? FEMA says shouting could lead to inhaling dangerous amounts of dust.
For more information on how to prepare for everything from a blackout to a cyber attack, visit www.Ready.gov.
In the event of an emergency, your smartphone could be your connection to the rest of the world - so use it to follow Patch! Follow us on social media, and sign up to have our daily e-newsletter and emergency breaking news alerts delivered straight to your inbox.

Grabbed this one on the way to the alpine slopes. Another pale lager in the cheap segment! Very very foamy, head. Not much aroma, as usual for pale lagers. Hops are floral, light. Not much taste. Steered by bitter hops this beer is! medium bitterness, light sweetness, ok but boring. Palate: light body, thin feel, fizzy, astringent finish. Nothing special in this beer. But considering it's cheap price, not bad. So in time of crisis this is a decent pils!

The smell is quite weak; there are notes of hay, chalk, wet paper and a hint of some hops.
The carbonation is short and sticky.
The taste is extremely thin. I could notice some dry grass and wet paper. There is a total lack of development and body in this brew.
The very weak aftertaste got some touches of chalk.
This beer is the worst low alcohol beer that I have seen so far (and low alcohol brew are quite popular in Sweden due to tax regulations and traditions). It is brewed exclusively for the Germany-based low price grocery chain Lidl.
