International ClassA47K 003/022DescriptionBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONA. Field Of The Invention This invention relates primarily to a bathing fixture which is especially suited to those people who have a difficult time entering and exiting from a standard type bathtub facility. More particularly, it relates to a chair type apparatus which has water outlets for directing water onto a person while the person is seated in the chair as well as a movable foot portion to collect and deliver the waste water to a drain. B. Description Of The Art As is well recognized, it is extremely difficult for many older or handicapped people to have access to bathing facilities such as a bathtub. Some shower facilities are now available wherein a person in a wheelchair can be conveyed inside the shower stall and then moved from the wheelchair onto a seat in the shower. This requires a greater than necessary amount of space, and leaves cleaning the feet still difficult for some persons. As to bathtubs, there is the additional problem of the person being lowered to almost floor level and then having to be raised again. While there are seat type units which are hydraulically actuated for lowering and raising a person out of a bathtub, these require a connection to a water faucet and also require the person to be moved over the edge of the bathtub. Movable door configurations on such tubs have been tried, but often present sealing problems or cost problems. Thus, it can be seen that a need exists for an improved type of bathing fixture which is readily useable by older and handicapped people, and which takes up only the minimum space needed. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In one aspect, the invention provides a chair assembly having the capability of washing a person while the person is seated therein. The chair has a chair body with a seat and back portion. A foot well is connected to the lower portion of the chair body, and it is configured to hold a quantity of water therein when in a first position while at the same time bathing the feet of the person seated. There is at least one orifice positioned in or adjacent the chair body to direct water onto the person when the person is seated. It is connectable to a water supply means. There are also means operatively connected to the foot well to move the foot well from the first position to a second position, so as to permit easy access to and exit from the seat when the well is in the second position. Preferably, the chair includes arm rest portions and the water orifices are selectively positioned around the inward perimeter of the chair body as well as in the arm rest portions. The chair can be connected to the water supply through water jets, or through a slot like outlet that provides a sheet of water. Also, the foot well preferably pivots on a horizontal axis parallel to the chair front. In another embodiment, there are suitable openings placed in the seat of the chair to serve as drain holes to provide a sitz bath. Similarly, a suitable drain hole can be placed in the foot portion. In the alternative, water can be collected in the foot well, and then dumped en mass at the end of the bath. Also preferably, the water supply orifices are connected to a source of soapy water to be used in conjunction with a high pressure water line so as to cause the soapy water to be directed onto the person at a high velocity for cleaning purposes. Subsequently, and automatically, a low pressure water source can be utilized without the soap in a rinse phase. The objects of the invention therefore include: a. Providing a bathing fixture of the above kind which is readily accessible for bathing purposes. b. Providing a bathing fixture of the above kind which resembles a chair and has water outlets disposed in the chair body so as to provide water contact with a person sitting therein. c. Providing a bathing fixture of the above kind which has a movable foot rest which acts to collect water, dump waste water, and provide ready access. d. Providing a bathing fixture of the above type wherein the chair portion of the fixture can provide a sitz bath. e. Providing a bathing fixture of the above type wherein suitable means are provided for raising and lowering the foot portion. f. Providing a bathing enclosure of the above kind wherein the water orifices can be utilized to provide both a high velocity stream of soapy water as a wash phase as well as a lower velocity rinse water phase. g. Providing a bathing fixture of the above kind which can be easily manufactured, installed and operated in a relatively small area. These and still other objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the description which follows. In the detailed description below, the preferred embodiments of the invention will be described in reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments do not represent the full scope of the invention. Rather the invention may be employed in other embodiments. Reference should therefore be made to the claims herein for interpreting the breadth of the invention. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a front elevational view, partially fragmented, showing a chair bathtub assembly constituting a preferred embodiment of the invention; FIG. 2 is a vertical sectional view of the chair bathtub shown in FIG. 1, taken on plane 2--2 of FIG. 1; FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken along line 3--3 of FIG. 2 and diagrammatically showing a wash and rinse water supply source connected to the chair; and FIG. 4 is a diagrammatic view illustrating a hand held shower for use with the chair bathtub. DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT The chair bathtub generally 10, has a chair body 11 preferably molded in a one piece construction from an acrylic or other suitable plastic material. The chair body includes a sloping back portion 12, an angled seat portion 13, as well as the arm rest portions 14 and 15. A movable foot well or trough-like portion 16 is positioned at the lower front of the chair body 11 and there is a pivotable support arm 19 attached thereto. Support arm 19 is pivotally mounted to a mounting block 22 (see FIG. 1) by a pivot pin 20, the mounting block 22 being supported by the housing column 23. The bathtub chair 10 is suitably contained in a stall defined by three vertical walls 24. As best seen in FIG. 2, there is pivotally connected to the foot well 16 a push/pull rod 25 such as by the pivot bracket 27. At the opposing end, rod 25 is pivotally connected to a slideable bracket 29, which in turn is threadably connected to the drive screw shaft 32. A housing 31 is provided for the screw shaft 32 as well as a portion of the movable bracket 29. It is connected at one end to the bracket 33 and at the other end to the drive motor 34. The previously described mechanism for moving the foot portion 16 is similar to that employed in opening and closing garage doors. It is seen in conjunction with the broken line showing of the foot portion 16 in FIG. 2 that the well 16 is movable from an upward "first" position as shown in solid lines to a lowered "second" position as shown in broken lines. The solid line position is that employed when a person is already seated in the chair 10 with one's feet positioned in the foot portion 16 in a foot rest position. Overflow wash and rinse water would then flow from the seat portion 13 over the flap portion 17 and consequently into the foot portion 16. Openings such as 43 can also be disposed in the seat portion 13 and then linked (by means of a tube not shown) to floor drain 44. Preferably, there are two such openings which can be covered by the buttocks to provide a sitz bath. Another opening 42 can be provided in the foot portion 16 so as to control the level of accumulation of water in the foot bath. In order to remove the wash and rinse water from the foot portion 16, it is simply moved to the lowered position as indicated in the broken lines by the movement of the push/pull rod 25 to the broken line position. An electric switch suitably mounted on a wall 24 can control this function. The water will be emptied onto the floor 21 and then go down the drain hole 44. It is understood that the floor has a slope toward the drain 44 in the area under the foot portion 16 in both the solid and broken line showings. Referring to FIG. 3, there is shown an example nozzle 39 of the jet type for directing water over a person seated in the chair body 11. The end of the nozzle 39 is positioned through a wall 41 extending between the upper tapering wall 35 of the chair body and the lower sloping side wall 37. There can be a plurality of nozzles 39 connected to a tubular manifold 38 which extends peripherally around and under the upper wall 35 and housed in the cavity 36. In a similar manner nozzles 39 may be disposed in the arm portions 14 and 15 and direct water inwardly toward a person seated in the chair body 11. The tubular manifold 38 is connected to a source of water as indicated by the inlet line 46. It supplies a low pressure line 53 regulated by the valve 56 as well as a high pressure line 51 regulated by the valve 55. The high pressure line 51 has a venturi section 47 and a soap supply 49 communicates with the venturi 47 so as to supply soapy water to the nozzle 39 at a high velocity. Suitable check valves such as 58 and 59 are provided in the high and low pressure lines 51 and 53, respectively. Automated or manual controls can control this system. If desired, some of the nozzles 39 can be replaced with slot like nozzles which supply a sheet of water. This is indicated at 40 in FIG. 2 and would provide a flow of water down the back of the bather. From the foregoing it is seen that a washing liquid such as soapy water is supplied by closing the valve 56 and opening the valve 55 at a high pressure setting. As a result, water flows into the high pressure line 51 and draws a soap material from the supply 49. The soapy water will then flow from the nozzles 39 onto the body of the person sitting in the chair 11. Subsequently, the valve 55 will be closed and valve 56 opened which is a lower pressure regulating valve so that rinse water can flow into the manifold 38 and out the nozzles 39 in the previously described manner. Water flows out of the chair 11 and over the flap 17 into the foot portion 16 where it can be emptied as previously described. Because the user is seated and the feet are elevated, most users will be able to reach and wash their own feet. As shown in FIG. 4 of the drawings, there can also be a hand held shower unit 62 which can be suitably connected to the common water line 60 such as with the shower line 65 and the flexible hose 63, and then hung on a side wall 24 adjacent the chair. It can be operated separately or in conjunction with the flow of water through the nozzles 39 and with the high and low pressure water lines 51 and 53, respectively. In the instance where sole operation of the shower unit is desired, a valve 64 in the common water line 60 would be closed. The shower unit 62 can be turned off completely by the valve 66. While the sloping back portion 12 has not been shown as being movable, it could be fabricated independently of the chair body 11 and attached in a movable manner such as in a typical recliner chair. Further, the seat portion is shown as sloping inward and with a drain hole 43. If desired, the seat could be made to slope outwardly and without the drain hole 43 so as to provide proper drainage.

Hello people,
My question is, that is someone who use LUNA PCI-E 7000 hardware security token with iPlanet 7 webserver on solaris 10?
If yes, can give some advice, rtfm, pubilc accessed how-to to install and configure the device to iplanet?
Thank You, with best regards,
Ferenc Junkert
I am not aware of anyone using this module with Oracle Iplanet Web server. I also don't believe it's a supported configuration.
Does LUNA themselves support this? It might be possible to do using the pkcs11 interface but you'd need to ensure someone would support you if there were issues with this.

This is the most important tech story of the week, and everybody has chosen to write about it. This just happens to be the one I'm linking to. It's by Tim Wu on the New Yorker's Elements blog.
Looking for an audience and finding interlocutors
Former New York Times executive editor (and current columnist) criticized a straw man version of cancer patient Lisa Adams, arguing that she is:
… the standard-bearer for an approach to cancer that honors the warrior, that may raise false hopes, and that, implicitly, seems to peg patients like my father-in-law as failures.
He then added:
Steven Goodman, an associate dean of the Stanford University School of Medicine, said he cringes at the combat metaphor, because it suggests that those who choose not to spend their final days in battle, using every weapon in the high-tech medical arsenal, lack character or willpower.
As it turns out, it's not Lisa Adams who introduced the combat metaphor, but rather Keller himself. Here's what Adams said about combat metaphors on her blog in 2012:
When I die don't say I 'fought a battle.' Or 'lost a battle.' Or 'succumbed.' Don't make it sound like I didn't try hard enough, or have the right attitude, or that I simply gave up.
Straw man.
After people started calling Keller on it, he responded to a question from the paper's public editor thusly:
I think some readers have misread my point, and some – the most vociferous – seem to believe that anything short of an unqualified "right on, Lisa!" is inhumane or sacrilegious.
I have no doubt that he did get some responses like that, but choosing to dismiss those responses rather than engaging with more substantive critiques was lazy and evasive.
Plenty of people have written excellent pieces explaining why Keller is simply wrong on the facts and in his conclusions. For example, you should definitely read Zeynep Tufekci's post Social Media Is a Conversation, Not a Press Release. What I want to write about is Keller's lack of preparedness to opine in the age of social media.
One thing we do on the Internet is argue. A lot. Some of us have been arguing with people on the Internet for decades, and many of us have internalized the big list of fallacies and are just waiting for an opportunity to recognize their use and shove your argument back in your face. It doesn't matter whether you're arguing about text editors, the baseball Hall of Fame, or how cancer patients ought to use social media, the Internet knows more than you do about it. In the open source world, they say that given enough eyes, all bugs are shallow. It's also true that given enough participants in an argument, all errors of fact and fallacious arguments are exposed.
It's times like these when the old media really shows its age. In the good old days, you could pronounce and pontificate with relative impunity. The worst thing they faced were letters to the editor. These days, by publishing, you are making an argument, and you can expect for people online to argue back. The second a column goes up, people start dissecting it on Twitter. Then come the blog posts. And finally, other publications, or even your own, start running think pieces about the online reaction to your crappy column. If you're David Brooks, the Internet will probably skewer you with top notch satire as well. The old guard is going to have to harden up.
Update: Really nice post by Linda Holmes for NPR about how Bill Keller uses language to diminish Lisa Adams and her readers.
What should the technology industry be famous for?
I had one of those "reading your own obituary" moments this morning when I picked up the New York Times. In an article about how banks are trying to change the customs that coerce junior employees to work nights and weekends, the writers bring up the increased competition from the technology industry. Here's how they put it:
Though the prospect of a large salary and experience in finance still draws many college graduates to the industry, some ambitious students are considering other career paths, including those in the technology industry, famous for its employee perks like free oil changes or staff masseuses.
It irritates me to see that the industry in which I've spent my entire career is defined to outsiders by the perks offered, and not just because I've never gotten a free oil change or a massage at the office. I have plenty of friends who work in industries full of people who are motivated by compensation, perks, prestige, and everything but the work itself. Most of them are eagerly looking forward to retirement.
Weeding out those sorts of people is probably my number one goal in the interview process. As I said when I reviewed The Soul of a New Machine, for me, the work is the reward. If you don't see it that way, you should consider the opportunities available in finance.

How to hire a superhero
University of Rochester computer science professor Philip Guo has written a great post, shining a light on the bias in the computer industry in favor of people who look like him (or me). In it, he explains how he has gotten the benefit of the doubt in situations simply because he looks like what people expect a computer programmer to look like. It's a first-hand account of what John Scalzi talked about when he wrote about straight white males playing the game of life on easy mode.
Here's a bit from the post, Silent Technical Privilege:
… people who look like me can just kinda do programming for work if we want, or not do it, or switch into it later, or out of it again, or work quietly, or nerd-rant on how Ruby sucks or rocks or whatever, or name-drop monads. And nobody will make remarks about our appearance, about whether we're truly dedicated hackers, or how our behavior might reflect badly on "our kind" of people. That's silent technical privilege.
He contrasts that with the challenges placed before people who are outside the demographic sweet spot that so many people associate with being a computer programmer. As he says, you don't have to be a superhero to succeed in software development, and we shouldn't demand that people who don't enjoy these privileges be superheros to make it in this business.
This leads me to the theory that if you want to hire superheros, you should ditch your biases and expand your hiring pool. The people who have persisted and succeeded in this industry in the face of the inequeties that Philip documents are much likelier to be superheros than your run of the mill bro who shows up to the inteview in his GitHub T-shirt with a cool story about making money in high school by creating Web sites for local businesses. There are plenty of superheros that fall into the privileged category, but they already have good jobs because they will never, ever be overlooked in the hiring process. The awesome programmer who also seems like they'd be super fun to have around the office? They get a job offer every single time.
The enterprising hiring manager has to think outside the box a bit. You know the feeling. The person seems like they'd be great at the job, but is different enough from everyone else that you wonder a bit how hiring them would affect team chemistry. I'm not talking about personality here, but demographics. (I'd never recommend that a non-competitor hire brilliant jerks.) The hypothetical candidate I'm talking about here has to deal with these unspoken questions every single time they apply for a job. That's not fair, and it's incumbent on our industry to change, but in the meantime, it's possible to exploit these widespread biases to hire the superheros that most companies won't even consider. At least that's the theory.
Felix Salmon on the evolution of Netflix
Felix Salmon: Netflix's dumbed-down algorithms
Good piece on the evolution of the Netflix user experience, necessitated by the transition from the "rent movies by mail" model to the streaming content model, and the licensing fees for streaming content online. I find that Netflix is OK if you just want to watch something, and mostly terrible if you want to watch a specific thing. The Netflix experience has been changed to discourage you from attempting the latter.
Management, the hard parts
Camille Fournier: 2013: The Constant Introspection of Management
Nice post on the hard parts of being a manager. One thing I'd add is that as a manager, the mistakes you make all too often have an impact on real people, an impact that's impossible to undo. If you put someone on the wrong project and they spend six months not really learning anything, that's six months they can never have back. It's a tough job.
Some thoughts on delegating
John D. Cook has a post on one of my favorite management topics, when to delegate.
My thoughts on delegation are probably fairly radical. The first principle is that if a project strikes me as interesting to work on, I must delegate it immediately. Managers almost never have the bandwidth to tackle interesting technical problems, it's the nature of the beast. When I delegate projects, I can remain engaged to a degree that allows me to learn and to hopefully add some value, without stalling progress because I'm too busy dealing with the other million distractions that are part of manager life. I tend to stick with working on the tasks that are too boring or repetitive to bother delegating to other people – they're generally about the right size to get out of the way when I'm between other things.
The second principle is, delegate everything, especially if you're in a new role. When you take on a new role, there is no way to estimate how much work is going to be coming your way, or to list what all the demands on your time will be. All of the stuff you were doing is either going to keep you from succeeding in your new role, or just isn't going to get done, unless you can delegate it to someone else. Of course, in reality you'll never be able to delegate everything, but proceeding as though you can will hopefully keep you mindful of the fact that you should always be looking for opportunities to delegate.
The point I'm really getting at is that most people are far too reluctant to delegate, and far too selfish when it comes to delegating. Usually when you're in a position to delegate, you are also at least partially responsible for the professional well-being of the people you're delegating things to. The things you delegate should hurt a little to give away.
Paul Graham is wrong about it being "too late"
Katie Siegel: It's Not "Too Late" for Female Hackers
Paul Graham's comments in an interview behind the paywall at The Information (and unflatteringly excerpted by ValleyWag) have been the subject of much discussion this week. Siegel's post gets at what was really problematic about them. I'm one of those people who started programming at age 13, and it has always been easy for me to advocate hiring people like myself, for exactly the reasons Paul Graham gives. Siegel ably makes the point that this line of thinking is unfair to everybody who doesn't fall into his select group, but I'd argue further that it's also just bad business. More on that later.
Update: Paul Graham says he was misquoted. I'm glad Graham cleared things up. In his update, Graham says:
If you want to be really good at programming, you have to love it for itself.
That's a sentiment I agree with completely. One reliable indicator that a person loves programming for itself is that they started as a kid. The problem arises when we treat that as the only reliable indicator, which Graham does, at least based on this passage from the transcript:
The problem with that is I think, at least with technology companies, the people who are really good technology founders have a genuine deep interest in technology. In fact, I've heard startups say that they did not like to hire people who had only started programming when they became CS majors in college. If someone was going to be really good at programming they would have found it own their own. Then if you go look at the bios of successful founders this is invariably the case, they were all hacking on computers at age 13.
Great reads of 2013: why you should A/B test on the Web
I enjoy the great privilege of working with Dan McKinley, whose blog is at mcfunley.com. He doesn't post very often and his posts are reliably great. I want to call out one post specifically … Testing to Cull the Living Flower. Here's one sentence:
When growth is an externality, controlled experiments are the only way to distinguish a good release from a bad one.
In it, he argues for why sites that are enjoying rapid growth must use A/B testing to build features if they want to be confident that they are making a measurable, positive impact on that growth rate.

Well, Buff had a great idea... We can turn it into a tube! Except, we don't know how to make it seamless, like Buff does, so we'll just sew it together. I know it'll leave frankenstein marks on people's heads, but it'll be worth it. We can sell scrap material for thirthy dollars. Wahoo!
Oh, what, it doesn't fit nice like Buff's does? That's because it a leftover Jersey! Jeez! Man, you're picky!
Hey, OURS have Castelli logos, and Buff has sissy non-pro-cyclist stuff. Of COURSE they'll buy this stuff!

Oregon company opts for smaller NC solar project
- John Downey
- Senior Staff Writer- Charlotte Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | Google+
An Oregon renewable-energy company has decided to cut back — for now — on initial plans for one of two 40-megawatt solar projects it proposed to build in North Carolina.
Portland-based Element Power has asked the N.C. Utilities Commission to approve a 15-megawatt project in Beaufort County that had originally been proposed at 40 megawatts.
Scott Hawken, project manager for the two solar farms, says Element has decided to take a stepped approach to the Beaufort project. He says it makes more economic sense to build that farm in phases.
It may end up as large as initially proposed, he says. Element still has the 400 acres available. But the company will build the 15 megawatts first at the Beaufort Solar Farm and then decide whether to expand it.
Union County project
This does not affect the company's plans for a 40-megawatt project in Union County, Hawken says. The commission approved the proposed Rocky River Solar Farm between Monroe and Waxhaw late last month.
Hawken says no power-purchase agreements have been signed yet for either project. Beaufort would sell power to Progress Energy. Rocky River would sell power to Duke Energy.
Hawken says construction could start late this year or in early 2014.
Last month, Element sold its proposed 50-megawatt Macho Springs Solar Farm in New Mexico to First Solar. Element signed a deal in November to sell the power from that project to El Paso Electric, subject to regulatory approval. First Solar will now complete that project.

12wbt graduates?

#1Posted 12 February 2013 - 09:08 PM
I haven't re-signed from last round as I am 2-3kg off my goal weight. I go to Contours, which from an exercise point of view doesn't look compatible with L&F or especially L&S.
But I'm missing the motivation from the forums. Last round finished only a week or two into the school year, DD is still in 'phase-in' mode for kinder (another 2 weeks of this!) meaning I'm in the car constantly or waiting about for kinder to finish or school - kinder and school are a 30min drive one way from home - 1hr round trip. So I need some accountability and motivation. Is anyone up for a graduate's group? #2Posted 12 February 2013 - 09:16 PM
Great idea. I "graduated" at the end of 2011. Does that still count. I exercise more than her plan but I have been a bit naughty food wise. Would love to get down to 60kg ( I am currently 64).
Leah #3Posted 13 February 2013 - 05:29 AM
Yes it does!
I planned to get up and go to the gym this morning, but woke up at 6.20am. Too late for the gym. Gotta set that alarm. Plus DH had the TV on in bed last night and Embarassing Bodies came on - my favourite show. So we stayed up late watching it. So, no TV in bed Start setting the alarm again. #4Posted 13 February 2013 - 06:25 AM
Lol. I love that show. I slept in as well because DS came in at 4 and it took me an hour to get him back to bed. But I will do a boxing class while dd is at dancing.
#5Posted 13 February 2013 - 08:40 AM
Going tonight after DH gets back from work. Legs day, we are doing squats.
I have 3hrs at home to get organised, its been the busyness of life that has thrown me out, so bows my chance to make some gains #6Posted 13 February 2013 - 03:08 PM
We have a facebook group for EB 12wbters if you would like to join. I have done a few rounds but put a bit back on last year so going another round.
https://www.facebook.com/groups/322923157809161/ #7Posted 18 February 2013 - 08:56 AM
Is that for current or past 12wbters? Or does it not matter? Legs day was hard - 2 days later the soreness kicked in. I was away in the Vic Alps at the weekend for a study course and after the intros I called out "If anyone wants to go for a run let me know" Well, there were about half a dozen runners in the group. So we went running throughout the weekend and I am sore! It was great though, as I'd only run on the treadmill and this was on a hiking track with soft ground. Food was a different storey. This study course sees us meet twice a month and each day is sponsored by a different organisation who provides the catering. We were warned that in each of the previous groups they all put on weight. I didn't work my a*se off (literally, it looks good) for 3 months only to have scones and cream for morning tea. I'm thinking I'll get organised and take my own snacks, if not lunch as well. I didn't follow a menu plan last week but the plan is today to dig out week 2 from the last round and follow it. #8Posted 20 February 2013 - 01:42 PM
Mostly current EBers on their first 12wbt but I have done a few rounds so your experience would be great. I'm also a runner and would have loved to get out and run where you did, sounds great but those morning tea's would be my undoing .
#9Posted 20 February 2013 - 04:12 PM
So are you doing the current round?
#10Posted 20 February 2013 - 06:04 PM
Yes, I put on a kilo for each of the marathons I ran last year and need to get them off. I also like the weight program and can justify her price by not having a personal trainer.
#11Posted 16 April 2013 - 02:20 PM
I had a question that I couldn't find an answer to on the 12wbt site: do you eat back the calories you burn in exercise, or are you expected to stick to the 1200 cals (or whatever plan you're on) regardless of the exercise for that day? Also the site talks about women sticking to and "average" of 1200cals/day - by that do they mean, most women will be on this much, but here's a calculator to figure out how much you need OR do they mean, if you go over one day (say because of a party), try to be a bit under the next etc? I'm not convinced enough yet to pay to find out... 1 user(s) are reading this topic0 members, 1 guests, 0 anonymous users |

While vacationing in St. Barts on Wednesday, Bono did the unthinkable and took off ... his shades!!!!
With his eyes and moobs exposed, the 49-year-old is almost unrecognizable.
I am not saying this to be mean, but it appears he has two areolas on one of his breasts in this photo or maybe it's a boil or sore.
I hate this fat, lard pasty white big mouth, who was disrespctful to a sitting US President. He's so over and yet so full of himself
The thing that is so attractive about Bono isn't his body, it's his mind. Moobs or no moobs, he's still the hottest man on the planet.
Leave Bono alone. He's done more good in this world than most anyone else on the damn planet.
I still haven't found what I'm looking for... as proposed by George on Seinfeld "The Bro." And, oh yeah, respect for other countries' elected officials.
This talented man could care less what you people think of him. I'm sure a lot of you haters are overweight and ugly and your only way to feel better about yourselves is to bash someone else.
What's all this BS about looking "good for his age"? That has nothing to do with life. I'm 42, 150lbs, 6 pack, run every day, no excuse! The man can afford a home gym and private trainer x 1000.
This is why Bono is sexy:
Bono has won a Nobel peace honor for his humanitarian efforts. The activist U2 frontman was given the annual Man of Peace award in Paris on Friday for his crusades to conquer African debt, poverty and disease.
"This is a very big award for me, because let's be honest this is as close as I am going to get -- as close as a rock star is ever going to get to the Nobel Peace Prize," Bono told attendees.
"I am an over-awarded, over-rewarded rock star," Bono continued. "You are the people who do the real work," he said to the audience, which included Nobel Peace Prize winners F.W. de Klerk of South Africa, Lech Walesa of Poland and Northern Ireland's John Hume. "So I am very, very pleased to be in such esteemed company."
Bono was selected for his global campaigns to persuade wealthy countries to lighten Africa's debt burden, fighting poverty, publicizing fair trade and raising money for the prevention and treatment of HIV-AIDS and malaria.
"We decided to nominate a man who has given a lot and will continue to give a great deal to the struggle for human rights, to the fight against poverty, with his music and with his words," said Walter Veltroni (pictured, right), Italy's left-wing leader and the event's co-host. "He has put pressure on the world's governments to reach the UN's Millennium Goals. To give him the prize, is to say that fight will carry on."

New to the site and looking for a place to stay for a trip to NYC with my wife.
Kevin & Karen, were terrific guests! The cottage was so clean after they left and they loved our Island as much as we do. They were great at communicating with us in regards to cottage upkeep and pitched right in when any fixing needed to be done! The puzzles and kite are a terrific addition to the collection. Thank you so much! You are both welcome anytime!
Kevin was an awesome guest. He was extremely polite and very easy going. The place was left very clean in the end, and I would certainly love to host him again. He is more than welcome to use me as a reference - my experience hosting him was excellent. Highly recommended.

DeKalb, IL (SportsNetwork.com) - Nick Kellogg led the way with 16 points as the Ohio University Bobcats topped the Northern Illinois Huskies, 65-46, in a Mid-American Conference clash at the Convocation Center.
For the Bobcats (13-4, 3-1 MAC), Maurice Ndour added 16 points and pulled down eight rebounds.
Aaron Armstead and Travon Baker each finished with 12 points to lead the Huskies (7-9, 1-3).
Ohio was sharp to start the game, connecting on 50 percent of its field goal tries and 3-of-5 from beyond the arc in the first half. NIU shot just 33.3 percent from the field in the first, including 2-of-8 from 3-point range, but they outscored the Bobcats 6-0 at the free-throw line to allow the Huskies to lead at the break, 24-23.
After intermission, Ohio stayed accurate from the floor, hitting on 53.6 percent of its shots and a sizzling 7-of-14 from 3-point distance. NIU again struggled from the field, shooting just 25 percent and missing all but two of its 10 3-point tries. The Bobcats used a 14-2 run early in the second to turn a one-point deficit into an 11-point advantage. They cruised the rest of the way and snagged their sixth win in their last seven outings.
Ohio was strong in the paint, outscoring NIU 22-12. The Bobcats dominated from the perimeter as well, finishing the game with a 30-12 scoring advantage from 3-point range.

Letterman gives off bitter old man vibes to the max. He hasn't been funny in ten years.
He's even better live. I saw him at McFarlin on the SMU campus last week. While it's definitely not for everyone, he's quick and funny. Just his jabs at Austin liberals and their shoes that look like feet was worth the price of the ticket.
To be fair, I watched last night when Justin Timberlake was on. The rap thing was "cute" but then everything about this guy is cutesy down to his smarmy sidekick. Give me Geoff-a gay robot skeleton-any time over that guy. The monologue was meh, the interview was fawning and in all reality-it was a yawner.
Plus Fallon had better watch his back.Seth Meyers is lightyears better on interviews and he's frankly quite a bit smarter. Don't be surprised to see Letterman put out to pasture soon (not soon enough to suit me) and Meyers to be the heir apparent. At the point Craig Ferguson, who for sheer entertainment is better than all of them, will leave CBS. And that would be a sad loss as many nights I stay up just to watch Craig's 20 minute opening.
You won't have to-there's precious little to watch there. Lately I find myself on CBS for most entertainment shows. ABC is so ripe with the LGBT agenda that they feel the need to insinuate it at every turn. Whatever happened to shows just being funny?
I would suggest to you that his unwillingness to let NBC Corporate use WH talking points to ghost write his monologue played a big role in Leno leaving.
I think NBC made a critical error. They ignored the demographics of who actually watches late night TV. It's not the desirable 25-45 group-they're out doing things, hitting the bars, working out, doing just about anything other than watching late night television. The key group they actually have is much older, more conservative and more likely to be home because they have to get up in the morning, go to work and pay for all the liberal largesse imposed by Congress. Mark my words, as with Conan, Fallon will begin to sag in the ratings possibly as soon as summer. For all of his claim to be "non-political" his show has already booked a who's who of liberal ideology. Give me a break-even the move back to New York was an attempt to control the message-something NBC couldn't quit do a continent away.
The Race Card is the last refuge of a party that has no other excuses. If any other president had this kind of shaky record on the erosion of constitutional rights they would be correctly brought up on charges of failing to adhere to their oaths. Should we hold Obama to some lower standard just because he's mixed race? This isn't college admissions it is our nation at risk here. We deserve better than excuses.
We have more to fear from ice than heat. Heat will allow more plant growth, more abundant food supplies. More cold will impact those regions like Russia, northern China, and Canada putting their resident under a shortened or non-existent growing season forcing immigration south. More of the very old and very young suffer and die due to cold than heat. And yet we have a government that subsidizes the overfarming of corn, which requires more and more fertilizers and pesticides to grow every time you ignore a rotation order. This is contributing to the Dead Zone in the Gulf as well as bee hive die off. They are the same ones who are telling stories of Global Warming, but their policies are doing far more harm.
True. Common sense would lead most to leave. But long time Gulf residents, until Katrina, had been warned by National Weather Service before on "dangerous storms" that proved to be less than dangerous. It's the boy crying wolf situation. NWS cried wolf so often that oldtimers simply chose to ignore them. It was tragic to see flooded school buses that could have been used to evacuate the aged and poor who didn't have their own cars. Also tragic was seeing many animals abandoned to their fates. It just demonstrates how thin the veneer of civilization rides on some people.

While there is no proven correlation between the quality of one's educational institution and the quality of one's professional competence, it is often an indicator. Medical schools have various levels of selectivity (some are harder to get into than others), and both the quality of their clinical training and level of research are measured. Additional medical training in both residency and fellowships and the facilities they are conducted at also provide a history of the doctors' level of training and experience.

This is a sidequel to my fic "Bittersweet". But you can also read it detached from that.
Some musing, pondering and arguing from inside Aro's mind.
I wanted to keep "Bittersweet" in Jane's POV, but I just couldn't stop wondering about Aro's thoughts…. And prudent Aro's thought are most likely a little bit more complex than emotional Jane's.
So these are going to be "drabbles", if you will.
And yes, I know, the title isn't very creative. Try to ignore it until I come up with something better.
You remember the day like it was yesterday.
Demetri was the only one brave enough to come to the tower room and tell you.
"They are collecting wood in great quantities," he informed you, not daring to look you in the eyes, "they are going to burn them at the stake."
And you didn't have to ask him to know who he was talking about.
The promising twins, talented like no one you had ever met before in your over two thousand years. They had been destined to be the centerpieces of your extraordinary collection.
And now those inferior, loathsome humans were going to ruin it all.
You could not accept that.
It was too soon, they were only children! Their talents hadn't had the time to fully develop!
"Demetri, bring the entire guard," you hissed and your fury was as dreadful as the wrath of an ancient God. The villagers had forfeited their lives for daring to burn them, daring to betray you.
You came with nightfall.
To them, it must have looked frightening and beautiful at the same time. An army of dark cloaked avenging angels who visited upon them. Like the Devil himself had unleashed hell to save the witch twins who were tied to two high-piled stakes, blindfolded and whimpering in fear.
And they were already afire.
The blazing flames flaring up to the smoky night sky and licking greedily on your precious jewels' feet, working their way up to their legs.
You were the first to see the horrible scenario unfolding before your eyes, you were racing ahead of everyone else.
You could hear the screaming start behind you. But you only had eyes for the precious ones in front of you.
The pile with the boy was smoldering and the flames were slow to spread.
But the girl was already ablaze. You could hardly make out her tiny frame through all the smoke and fire. However, you could hear her agonized, ear piercing screams all too clearly.
There was not much time to react. If the fire would have touched your icy skin, you would have burst into flames too. But you didn't let yourself think about that. You leapt right into the inferno.
She was still screaming and convulsing with pain in your arms. Her angelic features were twisted in agony and tears were running down her sooty cheeks. The remaining shreds of her dress were burned to her charred body.
You covered her up with your cloak.
The screaming in the background was dying down. You lifted the girl up gently.
He must be an angel, you heard her thoughts, but they were blurry. She was drifting into unconsciousness. You were going to lose her.
You put your lips to her throat. And even through all the grime and pain you could distinguish the potent lavender scent of her blood.
Never get into pissed Aro's way.

Once again the Obama administration and its allies are trying to make Americans feel pain and discomfort. They started by closing the White House for tours but forgot to stop the private parties.
This administration is hoping we the citizens do not look at the facts. Sequester does not have any cuts, regardless of what they say. The federal government will still spend more money than it did in the prior year. They just do not get to spend as much as they want. That is not a cut. However, this does not stop their storytelling.
Now we are all to fear air travel. The Federal Aviation Administration is telling us about the doom and gloom with the furloughs of air traffic controllers. Let's review the facts. According to research done by a contributor to Forbes magazine, even with the furloughs, air traffic controllers will handle fewer flights per hour of work than they did six years ago. And since 2006, the number of air traffic controllers has held steady at 27,000 despite a 13 percent reduction in the number of flights.
"If the sequester cuts their hours by 10 percent, the sequestered flight controller will still handle 3 percent fewer flights than six years ago," the story on the magazine's website stated.
Unfortunately, we have a White House that does not let simple facts get in the way of its political story. It's another sad example of party politics trumping the American citizen.
Sequester: Mixed up by storytelling

Letter: The difference between fair and just
Fair is a juvenile concept that even the most pedestrian thinker can grasp. It is really nothing more than a word summarizing an emotional reaction based on limited information and flawed logic. It actually has very little to do with justice or bringing about and achieving a just result in any sort of disagreement.
LetterL A letter to Mr. Charles Bowen
Mr. Bowen,
You may have been the most beloved and admired person in this community. -
Letter: Wage inequality persists in U.S.
Currently wages and salaries nationally as a portion of the economy is again near the record low of 2011
Letter: An appreciation of David Pennington
When you took office six years ago as mayor, I did not know you personally, but during these six years, you have earned my respect and my trust. I now consider you and your family as dear friends.
Amanda Burt: Another successful campaign
"This has been a year of everyday, ordinary people becoming heroes, stepping in to fill the service gaps and needs in our community," proclaimed board chair Celeste Creswell, as she opened the United Way Annual Meeting this week.
Kudos to all who are seeking elected office
Qualifying for local and state elections ended Friday, and while many incumbents will be running unopposed, there are a few surprises in the mix.
Charlie Bowen will be missed
Finding someone in Dalton who doesn't know — or at least hasn't heard of — Charlie Bowen could be difficult.
Citizen of the Week: Tressia Brooks Watkins
Some individuals might perform random acts of kindness in hopes they'll receive some sort of recognition. Not Tressia Brooks Watkins.
Raising HOPE
Getting a HOPE scholarship will get more difficult next year, as some long overdue requirements start to kick in.
Voters, candidates deserve debates
Qualifying for local elections doesn't end until Friday, but it's already clear voters will have some good choices.

The Roman Catholic Diocese of Phoenix issued the following statement in regard to Pope Paul XVI's announcement that he will retire at the end of February:
"We are grateful to God for the life and leadership of Pope Benedict XVI. He has been a remarkable witness to the Gospel throughout his lifetime of service to the Church. As the successor of St. Peter, he shepherds us with wisdom, grace and love. We encourage the faithful to join us in offering up our prayers for the Holy Father as he enters into the next stage of his life."
The Roman Catholic Diocese of Phoenix was established Dec. 2, 1969, by Pope Paul VI and is led by the Rev. Thomas J. Olmsted.

Danica Patrick has gotten a lot of flack from fans for her various media insights, sporadic racing record, and overall skill at the wheel. For various reasons, mostly having to do with her being a woman, the media has grabbed onto her as a major presence in NASCAR.
But fans need to relax a bit on Danica Patrick. Many fans consider her a poor driver at best not deserving of the media spotlight. Her skills behind the wheel are modest at best, and certainly not world-renowned. She did not rank in the Coca Cola 500 nor did she rank at the Bojangles Southern 500. Fans are frustrated when she participated in the All Star Race not by ranking but by winning an online fan vote.
For what it is worth, this is frustrating to many fans. She did rank 5th in 2009 at the IndyCar race, and 3rd at the Toyota Atlantic Championship in 2004.
Patrick has been most popularly associated with the web hosting service Go Daddy. Being the number 1 web provider since 2006, Go Daddy has personally attached strongly to the personality of Danica Patrick (to the point where she graced the home page of the site for close to three years).
Patrick has also partnered with Tissot auto part manufacturer and Peak Antifreeze. She personally sponsors the toy manufacturer Hot Wheels, make-up company OPI, and St. Vincent Hospital. Her smaller associations with Sega the video game company, William Rast the fashion designer, Schuberth NASCAR product developer, and Nationwide Insurance has given her additional exposure in the media.
Danica Patrick sat down and talked with Bob Kravitz in a rather personal interview about gender, NASCAR fatalities, and what its like navigating such a wide media storm. Her looks and presence has attracted a lot of attention, and it is nice to see Patrick address legitimate fan outcry and her media popularity. She is rather honest and straightforward in her answers, which makes for a rather reflective interview. Pictures accompany the video.
