She spent three years writing for "Seinfeld" eventually going on to produce, which earned her both Writers Guild and Emmy Award nominations. Carol Leifer, comedian Carol was the real-life inspiration for the Elaine character played by Julia Louis-Dreyfus. Her most notable episodes of "Seinfeld" include "The Rye," "The Beard" and "The Lip Reader" (with Marlee Matlin).

A native of Long Island, NY, Carol began her career in the late 1970s as a stand-up comedian, performing in well-known Manhattan comedy clubs such as The Comic Strip, Catch a Rising Star and The Improv. Her big break came when David Letterman unexpectedly saw her perform, which led to 25 appearances on "Late Night with David Letterman." In addition, Letterman also produced her 1988 Cinemax special, "Carol Doesn't Leifer Anymore." Leifer also wrote, produced and starred in three Showtime specials: "Carol Leifer Comedy Cruise" (1989), "Really Big Shoo" (1990) and the three-time CableACE Award-nominated "Gaudy, Bawdy and Blue" (1992).

Introduction: Why It Matters |
Genocide cannot be allowed to continue: A humanitarian crisis of monumental proportions is playing out in our global community at this very minute – not in history books or in stories of horrible times past. Millions of innocent people (many of them women and children) have been driven violently from their homes; hundreds of thousands have been killed. The devastation is having a terrible impact today and will continue to plague generations to come. Despite cries of "never again" after the Holocaust, Bosnia and Rwanda, this tragedy is unfolding right now in front of our eyes. It is our human responsibility to understand the reasons why it is happening and how it can be stopped. Sudan is becoming a failed state and a terrorist hotbed: In an increasingly borderless world, events thousands of miles away have real, tangible repercussions worldwide. The problems of Africa's largest nation are already affecting its immediate neighbors and will impact Western nations as well. Unmitigated violence, conflict and poverty furthers the spread of extremism, weapons, and terrorism worldwide. Accountability is key to stopping future human rights violations: The atrocities that are occurring in Darfur today, like those in genocides past, are being committed in part by the Government of Sudan. When states not only fail to protect their populations, but use their authority to harm civilians, their crimes set terrible precedents. If governments are not held accountable for these human rights violations, seeds are planted for future atrocities. Impunity increases the likelihood of similar tragedies occurring again in the Sudan and worldwide. Without action, this will happen again: The crisis in Darfur is the ultimate test for the international community in global problem solving. Many of the key issues that challenge us in the 21st Century coalesce in this catastrophe: conflict, poverty, racism, underdevelopment, refugees, poor governance, environmental degradation, global warming, Islamic extremism, arms proliferation, petro-politics, government-sanctioned violence, ethnic cleansing, competition between outside powers, the rise of China, multinational trade in an era of globalization, and, ultimately, the frailties of human nature. Global society can learn from the interaction of the complex issues at play in Darfur in order to more quickly respond to and neutralize future potential conflicts.

I'm so tempted to try this!! You put on the oil and then head to bed without rinsing it off? Silly question, but does it just completely ruin the sheets?
ReplyDeleteRepliesYes you go to bed with it on your face. If you're scared of ruining your sheets it's also effective when you mix it with some of your normal moisturiser, but if you put it on a while before bed it usually absorbs into your skin by the time you go down for the night :-)
I'm a fan of olive oil too, and sweet almond oil (just natural oils in general) they've always worked much better on my face than cream. When I worked as a beauty therapist we would use oil on people faces and bodys all the time, it's just so nourishing, and of course it's natural. You can't get much better than that!
http://myfroley.blogspot.comInstead of olive oil I use coconut oil. I'm pretty sure it has the same effect. I use it to shave, on my face, once in a while in my hair, to wash my face like you mentioned, as diaper rash cream for my daughter and lotion for her whole body. It's amazing!
ReplyDeleteI'm so curious about this.....so how do you apply the olive oil? With a cotton ball? And then you just wash your face as normal in the am? My skin is also very oily so I am surprised this works so well. I'd for sure like to try!
I think Colt's new haircut looks so cute by the by, as my Mom would call it, a "little boy haircut". It's sweet!I use Olive oil as a make up remover.. Slather it on, jump in the shower and follow my regular routine. I had been on the pill for years to even out my hormonal acne, and when I wentoff of it? My skin turned into a nightmare!! I use the best of the best organic stuff, and the cystic acne kept coming back. I must say, it is THRILLING to be carded at the beer store (holla! I'm canadian!) - but not when they're carding you because you have the acne of a teenager. I couldn't take it anymore and I couldn't take the thought of synthetic hormones running through my body and making me (even more)crazy by going back on the pill, so I started suplementing. I take 2000mg of Evening Primrose oil, and 100 mg of zinc daily and my skin has never been clearer. In the event I do get a breakout, I will use apple cider vinegar on any blemishes. It takes the red out and heals blemishes much faster. Now I can concentrate on minimizing my old lady wrinkles instead of worrying about acne.
ReplyDelete- AnonymousJanuary 24, 2013
I use a Clinique foaming makeup remover with my Clarisonic and then moisturize afterwards with Grapeseed Oil from Whole Foods. It absorbs quickly and makeup goes on smoothly! I've been doing that for about a year and absolutely love it! The saying "like dissolves like" totally applies here with the oil cleansing. :) I just read a few weeks ago about putting Castor Oil on a blemish at night if you start to feel one coming on... worked like a charm! I'll have to try the olive oil at night!! Thanks for the tip! ;-)
ReplyDelete I do a mix of 50% olive oil and 50% castor oil. I rub it in real good, making sure it takes off all the eye make up, then put a wet, hot cloth over my face for about 30 seconds to steam. Then I use the cloth to wipe it off. The make up comes off like a dream and my face isn't really at all oily (actually, too much castor oil would dry out your skin - weird). I got my mom and best friend doing this now and they won't go back!
ReplyDeleteThe olive oil, or coconut oil, is the same PH as your skin, so it doesn't cause your skin to become oily. I learned a lot about the oil cleansing method from this site:
Basically, your skin loses oil, and then begins to produce or overproduce more oil to compensate, which then causes acne, oily skin, etc. By replacing the natural oil with this cleansing method, you're helping your skin out! Plus, it's chemical free, doesn't strip your skin, and WAYYYY cheaper than face wash!
Also, you'll have to let me know how you like the sugar and oil scrub :)I've been washing my face with olive oil for years and have never felt a need to do anything else since. Also, I body brush before every shower (discourage cellulite, encourage skin tightening, brightening, and good circulation), massage a mix of Vitamin E and coconut oil into my skin after showering, and I oil pull every morning. The benefits of oil pulling are too many to list here... http://www.jonbarron.org/article/oil-pulling-detoxing
ReplyDeleteRaven you are the most self absorbed superficial person I have ever come across. Your poor son looked like a girl - an UGLY girl before the haircut. The weird Mohawks, the painted fingernails, then a blog post by mom making fun of them. Great job parenting, raven. I fear that your quest to appear as a "cool" mom will backfire when your boys are old enough to understand the things you say about them. And the dresses you wear with the elastic right below your boobs make you look really fat.
ReplyDeleteWow TazLady!!! That was a very UGLY comment you made. Didn't your mom teach you, if you don't have anything nice to say, then don't say anything at all? You do know that you do have the option NOT to read?
Raven - I love your blog. It makes me laugh. When your boys are old enough, they will appreciate everything you have written about them. Oh and you don't look fat in that dress.Raven, your complexion is flawless! I'm a 28 yo mother of two who has spent most of my life worshiping the sun. The combo of the two has left my face with freckles and dark spots. Are you just super lucky and have always had such even skin tone...or do have any secrets to share???? Thanks in advance for any info you're willing to share...I just love your blog!
Please, tell me what you think! I love reading your thoughts and opinions, and I find some of my favorite blogs through my comments!

by Andy Roxburgh
Watching Brazil last night reminded me of a metaphor I used when speaking to a group of 50 Brazilian coaches in Rio a few years ago. I referred to their 'rattlesnake' style and they all nodded in agreement. Brazilian teams have this fluid, rhythmical pattern – the ball flows from one side to another, they go forward, they come back – they play their possession football, play 15-20 passes and then suddenly hit you with a killer ball. We saw that last night with Robinho's through-pass to Elano for the second goal, which was fantastic.
Carlos Alberto Parreira said to me that Brazilian players get their confidence first and foremost from their great technical quality. You can talk tactics all day but it is ability that counts above all. With Brazil the ability is undoubtedly there – you saw Robinho doing stepovers in the first few minutes against North Korea. However, it has to be effective, too. Parreira's view is 'I don't like those who just make smoke, in Brazil we need players who create a fire'. In other words, players who produce an end product. It's not enough to be a 'show' team, you have to be effective, with the right mix of artist and tradesman.
The other thing that struck me about yesterday's Brazil team is there was only one home-based player in the starting XI. Nos 1-3 in the team – Julio Cesar, Maicon and Lucio – were all in the Inter Milan side that won the UEFA Champions League final last month. It shows you the depth of their quality when Daniel Alves, who has been magnificient for Barcelona, cannot get into the starting line-up because of Maicon.
It is no surprise that in terms of nationality, the country with the biggest number of players in the Champions League's latter stages is Brazil. This is one notable change since when I faced Brazil as coach of Scotland at Italia 1990 when the number of foreign-based players wasn't quite as high. The style has changed a little bit since then, there's a European influence, and Dunga is trying to add a pragmatic element to a very creative team. But while they can defend and be cautious, we saw last night that they can still strike like a rattlesnake.

June 29-- State, local and federal officials met in Brunswick Friday to discuss response plans for any potential threat to Georgia from the current oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
Emergency management agency (EMA) directors from Georgia's six coastal counties (Bryan, Camden, Chatham, Glynn, Liberty, McIntosh), as well as representatives from the Georgia Department of Natural Resources (DNR), Georgia Emergency Management Agency, United States Coast Guard (USCG), Senator Saxby Chambliss' office and Congressman Jack Kingston's office received briefings on current status of the Deepwater Horizon incident. They also discussed scientific data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Georgia Sea Grant Program.
The consensus of the USCG, the lead federal agency for the spill, and DNR's Coastal Resources Division, the lead state agency for oil spill response along the Georgia coast, is that the likelihood of oil currently in the Gulf of Mexico directly impacting coastal Georgia is low. However, if it does directly impact Georgia, it will not be as significant as what the Gulf Coast states are experiencing.
Daily overflights and foot patrols on barrier island beaches, along with participation in three daily Deepwater Horizon Unified Command briefings by state, local, and federal officials in Georgia, prompted them to say these enhanced, daily monitoring efforts will prevent "oil from sneaking up on us."
Glynn County EMA hosted the meeting at Glynn County's Public Safety Center.

Healthy, Fast, Make-Ahead Recipes
The lazy days of summer are over and the jam-packed school schedule has taken over your time. Getting a healthy meal on the table can seem like an impossible feat…until you stock your freezer with make-ahead meals that can be reheated in 30 minutes or less and have minimal clean up! Here are three of my favorite make-ahead recipes for busy family schedules.
Hot and spicy Borboa goulashThis is a hearty, belly warming family recipe that is featured in my cookbook Make-Ahead Meals Made Healthy (Fair Winds, July 2011). Richly spiced meat, tomatoes and pasta shells deliciously come together for a comfort food meal that you can batch cook and freeze for a fast meal that reheats in 10 minutes. Serves 8 Ingredients:
Veggie-Licious turkey burritosThe shredded carrots and tomato sauce in these burritos give the turkey filling the texture of pulled beef or pork without the calories or fat. Lima beans add a healthy dose of vegetable-based protein and fiber. This is another delicious and nutritious recipe from Make-Ahead Meals Made Healthy! Serves 10 Ingredients:
Homemade oatmeal blueberry toaster wafflesBoxed frozen waffles have nothing on these homemade wholesome make-ahead waffles. Time is short in the morning, but these waffles, which go straight from the freezer to the toaster, are ready in a couple of minutes and will keep your family healthfully well-fed.

According to drummer Jaska Raatikainen of Finnish metallers CHILDREN OF BODOM, the songwriting process for the band's next album has been completed. He states: "Next step after holidays is that I'm gonna start sweating my ass off in the studio."
CHILDREN OF BODOM's new CD is tentatively due in late spring/early summer 2013 via Marquee Inc. in Japan and Nuclear Blast in other parts of the world. Raatikainen recently described the band's new material as "very inspiring, dark and also little 'black' [metal]-ish." CHILDREN OF BODOM in November canceled its appearance at next year's edition of the Tuska festival, set to take place June 28-30, 2013 in Suvilahti, Helsinki, Finland, "in order to be able to be part of a big tour in USA," according to the group's bassist, Henkka Seppälä (a.k.a. Henkka T. Blacksmith). CHILDREN OF BODOM released a photo book, "Roadkill", on August 8 via Hatecrew.com. The first 666 copies are numbered and personally signed by the band. Photography for "Roadkill" started in 2007. It includes exclusive material of life on the road, shows, promo shoots, recording sessions, album cover production and the worldwide "hate crew," as the band's fans are affectionately known. The book also contains comments and diary entries by the band and the photographer, Jussi Hyttinen of FLC415. CHILDREN OF BODOM's most recent release was "Holiday At Lake Bodom (15 Years Of Wasted Youth)" , a very special CD+DVD career retrospective in celebration of the band's 15th anniversary.CHILDREN OF BODOM Completes Songwriting Process For New Album

Portlandia goes overboard with outdoor gear
Gearing up for a day outside should be relatively easy. Grab the necessities - proper clothing, comfortable shoes, safety equipment, etc - and hit the road. Sure, you'll be excused if you include a few extras in your pack (especially if you bring along enough snacks for everyone), but it's easy for things to snowball until you suddenly realize that you've completely filled your car with gear for a simple day trip. In typical Portlandia fashion, this sketch mocks those over-packers, hyper-planners and big talkers who just can't seem to stop planning and start doing.
The next time you're heading out for a day of adventure, try to keep your pack light. Just make sure you bring the snacks!

... long thinking about.
I visited my friend Yavuz, who returned recently from his work in Zelenograd, Russia for a quick vacation.
He picked me up Friday morning at the airport and the weekend beach action started.
I don't explain much more. Just check out the non classified picks.
Missed a day ...
Weather got the best of us and we bailed out early yesterday , to quote Justine, it was chuffin hot! Surprisingly bit hotter today but spent most of the day in the shade ..., lots of sun reading, my Dan Brown Inferno is a fab read . The hotel is a bit isolated so have only ventured up the beach but if u want somewhere to relax and recharge your batteries you couldn't wish for anywhere better ...
Oh what a night ( and day)
So hot today we were glad the clouds turned up. Is now midnight and still 26 degrees. Have been partying all night. Resort is fab fun, excellent food, rooms r lovely and staff here r attentive.

Sunny Sunday!
31 degrees today, last night Elaine was the pink lady today the waiter called her a tomato, Jo has progressed from white Cheddar to Red Leicester obviously me and Justine r toasting nicely! Bit of totty watching by the pool with beer delivered by roller skating young ladies and roasted ...
1st port 3rd cruise!
Alanya Took on new passengers last night in Cyprus. The drill wasn't as successful this time, most of my passengers were so rude. I lost my name badge somewhere out on deck during the drill too! Hopefully I can get one with my real name on it this time. Opened for a few hours on the evening and just about made it back to crew bar for one drink. Found it really hard to get up when my alarm when off this morning, after almost a week of getting up ...

Post Office BROKE: May shut down entirely this winter
Unless $5.5 billion is paid by this winter - NO ONE will get Christmas cards
Teetering on the brink of insolvency, the United States Postal Service
may shutdown altogether, leading to an extremely dire Christmas season
with NO ONE getting cards or gifts in the mail. Unless the agency is
able to make a $5.5 billion payment due this month, the post office may
have to shut down altogether this winter. Congress will have to take
emergency action to stabilize the post office's finances.
A hearing on Tuesday by the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee will address the agency's predicament. Democrats and Republicans in Congress, still smarting from the brawl over the federal debt ceiling, have no solutions forthcoming.
Donahoe has been pushing a series of painful cost-cutting measures to erase the agency's deficit. Plans include eliminating Saturday mail delivery, closing up to 3,700 postal locations and laying off 120,000 workers, or nearly one-fifth of the agency's work force in spite of a no-layoffs clause in the unions' contracts.
The American institution is being squeezed on both sides from revenue and costs.
The Internet generation has led to people and businesses sending far less conventional mail. Mail volume has fallen with the rise of e-mail, electronic bill-paying and a Web that makes everything from fashion catalogs to news instantly available. The system handles an estimated 167 billion pieces of mail this fiscal year, down 22 percent from five years ago.
Simultaneously, decades of contractual promises made to unionized workers, including no-layoff clauses, are increasing the post office's costs.
Labor represents 80 percent of the post office's expenses, compared with 53 percent at United Parcel Service and 32 percent at FedEx, its two biggest private competitors. Postal workers also receive more generous health benefits than most other federal employees.
A hearing on Tuesday by the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee will address the agency's predicament. Democrats and Republicans in Congress, still smarting from the brawl over the federal debt ceiling, have no solutions forthcoming.
"The situation is dire," Thomas R. Carper, the Delaware Democrat who is chairman of the Senate subcommittee that oversees the postal service says. "If we do nothing, if we don't react in a smart, appropriate way, the postal service could literally close later this year. That's not the kind of development we need to inject into a weak, uneven economic recovery."
Missing the $5.5 billion payment due on Sept. 30, intended to finance retirees' future health care, won't cause immediate disaster. But sometime early next year, the agency will run out of money to pay its employees and gas up its trucks, officials warn, forcing it to stop delivering the roughly three billion pieces of mail it handles weekly.

Please note that ever since the 70's the Postal Service was never a government agency and has used zero tax dollars.The only thing congress can do is allow them to raise their rates to pay their own way.Yes labor is the highest but Federal Express and United Parcel Service compete with the Postal Service on very profitable services such as overnight and parcel. They leave the not so profitable portion of the market to the Postal Service. Advertisers pay less than 17 cents a piece for those pizza adds that everyone throws away.There is no country in the world that will send a letter for 44 cents anywhere in the US. You can change your address for free and have your mail forwarded for free.( On line there is a fee $ 1) for up to 18 months. This is all done with zero tax dollars because the Postal Service is a quasi-government organization. Please do not confuse the Postal deficit with the government deficit. They are two different things. Congress and the Postal board of governers can only change rates and the way they do business. Christmas cards and presents in the mail are not the only thing the Postal Service does. Even paying bills on line unless the entire transaction is electronic require at present some type to mail to be sent. Did not want anyone to leave with a mistaken impression.

Sequence Determinants of Compaction in Intrinsically Disordered Proteins Biophysical Journal, Volume 98, Issue 10, 19 May 2010, Pages 2383-2390 Joseph A. Marsh and Julie D. Forman-Kay Abstract Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs), which lack folded structure and are disordered under nondenaturing conditions, have been shown to perform important functions in a large number of cellular processes. These proteins have interesting structural properties that deviate from the random-coil-like behavior exhibited by chemically denatured proteins. In particular, IDPs are often observed to exhibit significant compaction. In this study, we have analyzed the hydrodynamic radii of a number of IDPs to investigate the sequence determinants of this compaction. Net charge and proline content are observed to be strongly correlated with increased hydrodynamic radii, suggesting that these are the dominant contributors to compaction. Hydrophobicity and secondary structure, on the other hand, appear to have negligible effects on compaction, which implies that the determinants of structure in folded and intrinsically disordered proteins are profoundly different. Finally, we observe that polyhistidine tags seem to increase IDP compaction, which suggests that these tags have significant perturbing effects and thus should be removed before any structural characterizations of IDPs. Using the relationships observed in this analysis, we have developed a sequence-based predictor of hydrodynamic radius for IDPs that shows substantial improvement over a simple model based upon chain length alone.

Quantitative Characterization of Intrinsic Disorder in Polyglutamine: Insights from Analysis Based on Polymer Theories Biophysical Journal, Volume 93, Issue 6, 15 September 2007, Pages 1923-1937 Andreas Vitalis, Xiaoling Wang and Rohit V. Pappu Abstract Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) are unfolded under physiological conditions. Here we ask if archetypal IDPs in aqueous milieus are best described as swollen disordered coils in a good solvent or collapsed disordered globules in a poor solvent. To answer this question, we analyzed data from molecular simulations for a 20-residue polyglutamine peptide and concluded, in accord with experimental results, that water is a poor solvent for this system. The relevance of monomeric polyglutamine is twofold: It is an archetypal IDP sequence and its aggregation is associated with nine neurodegenerative diseases. The main advance in this work lies in our ability to make accurate assessments of solvent quality from analysis of simulations for a single, rather than multiple chain lengths. We achieved this through the proper design of simulations and analysis of order parameters that are used to describe conformational equilibria in polymer physics theories. Despite the preference for collapsed structures, we find that polyglutamine is disordered because a heterogeneous ensemble of conformations of equivalent compactness is populated at equilibrium. It is surprising that water is a poor solvent for polar polyglutamine and the question is: why? Our preliminary analysis suggests that intrabackbone interactions provide at least part of the driving force for the collapse of polyglutamine in water. We also show that dynamics for conversion between distinct conformations resemble structural relaxation in disordered, glassy systems, i.e., the energy landscape for monomeric polyglutamine is rugged. We end by discussing generalizations of our methods to quantitative studies of conformational equilibria of other low-complexity IDP sequences. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (736 kb) |
Dynamical Coupling of Intrinsically Disordered Proteins and Their Hydration Water: Comparison with Folded Soluble and Membrane Proteins Biophysical Journal, Volume 103, Issue 1, 3 July 2012, Pages 129-136 F.-X. Gallat, A. Laganowsky, K. Wood, F. Gabel, L. van Eijck, J. Wuttke, M. Moulin, M. Härtlein, D. Eisenberg, J.-P. Colletier, G. Zaccai and M. Weik Abstract Hydration water is vital for various macromolecular biological activities, such as specific ligand recognition, enzyme activity, response to receptor binding, and energy transduction. Without hydration water, proteins would not fold correctly and would lack the conformational flexibility that animates their three-dimensional structures. Motions in globular, soluble proteins are thought to be governed to a certain extent by hydration-water dynamics, yet it is not known whether this relationship holds true for other protein classes in general and whether, in turn, the structural nature of a protein also influences water motions. Here, we provide insight into the coupling between hydration-water dynamics and atomic motions in intrinsically disordered proteins (IDP), a largely unexplored class of proteins that, in contrast to folded proteins, lack a well-defined three-dimensional structure. We investigated the human IDP tau, which is involved in the pathogenic processes accompanying Alzheimer disease. Combining neutron scattering and protein perdeuteration, we found similar atomic mean-square displacements over a large temperature range for the tau protein and its hydration water, indicating intimate coupling between them. This is in contrast to the behavior of folded proteins of similar molecular weight, such as the globular, soluble maltose-binding protein and the membrane protein bacteriorhodopsin, which display moderate to weak coupling, respectively. The extracted mean square displacements also reveal a greater motional flexibility of IDP compared with globular, folded proteins and more restricted water motions on the IDP surface. The results provide evidence that protein and hydration-water motions mutually affect and shape each other, and that there is a gradient of coupling across different protein classes that may play a functional role in macromolecular activity in a cellular context.

Biophysical Journal, Volume 104, Issue 2, 488-495, 22 January 2013
Intrinsically disordered proteins do not have stable secondary and/or tertiary structures but still function. More than 50 prediction methods have been developed and inherent relationships may be expected to exist among them. To investigate this, we conducted molecular simulations and algorithmic analyses on a minimal coarse-grained polypeptide model and discovered a common basis for the charge-hydropathy plot and packing-density algorithms that was verified by correlation analysis. The correlation analysis approach was applied to realistic datasets, which revealed correlations among some physical-chemical properties (charge-hydropathy plot, packing density, pairwise energy). The correlations indicated that these biophysical methods find a projected direction to discriminate ordered and disordered proteins. The optimized projection was determined and the ultimate accuracy limit of the existing algorithms is discussed.

This canoe trip from Healdsburg was so much fun!
From the moment you park there are people ready and willing to help you with your bags and point out where to check in, all with a smile and some jokes (helpful on an early morning trip). The canoes are great, though at times a bit tiring to paddle, and have plenty of room for several bags and a cooler - the cooler is a must.
We had a blast switching off between paddling, drinking wine, and hanging out with our fellow canoers. The weather was overcast at first, but when the sun broke through we ditched our sweaters for bathing suits and took plenty of breaks to just float and soak up some sun.
Would definitely recommend this canoe trip!

You don't have to be an Olympic rower to enjoy this tour. I'm was a miserable but enthusiastic captain and while our boat did donuts in the water and ran aground into bushes and rocks, we were having fun and constantly laughing. There's a little shop before you set out in case you forgot your sunscreen or hat (so recommended). Also, wear your flip-flops for sloshing around in the water.
This was a great tour for this beginner/city girl and fun way to explore wine country without the wine. :)

I used to have an old imac for testing ie5mac but I threw it in the bin about 5 years ago so can't test anymore.
I would try nesting an inner element inside the float and set it to width:100% and try applying the overflow:hidden to that element instead.
I do remember that IE5mac did have a number of problems with overflow but its so long ago I can't remember what I used to do about it I'm afraid :)

Logitech Harmony 650 for $59.99
Link [bestbuy.com] since OP didn't post one.
Especially at this price which is not that great, I would stay away from this remote. Had three of these, they kept breaking down and Logitech kept replacing them. The hardware buttons are not built well on this model, idk what it is but after a few months one or two of the buttons would stop working. Luckily Logitech has great customer support and replaced it each time with a new one, and the forth time they sent us a 700 instead, and over a year later still going strong with no issues. They might look exactly the same except for the color but they are not, the 700 is a much better build quality, plus it has rechargeable batteries that you can charge in the remote. I even bought another one in November when target had them on clearance for $40 and have had no issues with this one as well.
All of that said, investing in a Harmony might not be the best idea right now. Logitech has announced that it is going to sell off Harmony. Since the remotes requires Logitech's internet software (now webpage) to program them (which has been garbage since day one), we all might possibly end up stuck with a whole bunch of paper weights. I can only hope that they, or whomever might buy the Harmony line, comes out with a proper non-internet-required application to program them. URC does this, only needing internet to update the code database. I might be moving back to the MX series from URC. Way back when I had an MX-700 and loved it. It's a shame, I was seriously considering replacing all of my current remotes with Harmony One's. |
Maybe I've just been lucky, but I've had ZERO problems w/ my Harmony 650, something I picked up for $30 @ Best Buy back in November of 2011. Yes, it only has 5 devices, but that's plenty for many ppl, so why pay for more. FWIW, Amazon has price matched this deal [amazon.com].

Harmony Remote 7 download is here [logitech.com] under the downloads tab. |
while true, the deskop software is still heavily dependant on the web-side functionality being up and working. if logitech pulls out, that downloaded version wont do anything either. granted i dont think that is very likely considering the adoption of the harmony line, but ive hoped for a long time that there would be alternative ways of programming these things ive been very happy with mine, i have probably used/owned about 10 different models by now. ive settled on the avl-300.

The downloadable software, which I've been using on my 880's, is still completely dependent on Logitech's servers. If you can't login to the software, no dice. And my 650 refuses to work with the software. It kept telling me that I HAD to use myharmony.com. It's still inexcusable that their software still doesn't allow some basic things. Like when customizing a device or activity, for the sweet love of everything holy, WHY CAN'T WE DRAG AND DROP!?! Seriously, having to "arrow" a device command over and over and over? Crap. Every time I have to reprogram for a new component, I want to pull my hair out. |

DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. —
DeKalb County police have arrested a man in the shooting death of a mother late Monday night.
Officers arrested Carlos Jerome Simpson, 23, on felony murder charges and booked him into the DeKalb County Jail, according to jail records. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution said Simpson lived at the home on Eagles Nest Circle where the shooting occurred.
Simpson's sister, Lawana Simpson, told the AJC that the victim was her brother's girlfriend and mother to his 10-month-old child.
Lawana Simpson said the couple was arguing Monday night when her brother pointed a gun at the victim. She said the girlfriend grabbed the gun and it fired.
Police said their investigation determined the Carlos Simpson and the victim were having a domestic argument before the shooting.
Neighbors told investigators they heard a single gunshot and saw the woman lying in the driveway.
Police have not released the victim's name.
Officers gave the couple's child to family members.
"It's a tragedy," said Charles Simpson, the suspect's father.
"We loved her like she was our own," he said of the victim. "This wasn't no hate thing," he said. "It just happened, and now she's gone from us."

The Missouri Auditor's Office recently released the results of an audit conducted on Holt County, Missouri last summer.
The report rated the overall operation of the county as "fair," which means:
"this entity needs to improve operations in several areas. The report contains several findings, or one or more findings that require management's immediate attention, and/or the entity has indicated several recommendations will not be implemented. In addition, if applicable, several prior recommendations have not been implemented."
The audit specifically focused the office of Sheriff Scott Wedlock, saying it "revealed serious shortcomings within the Sheriff's department." Specific areas mentioned were revenue from concealed and carry permit fees, the loss of pre-paid phone cards at a cost of $1,710, fuel purchases and usage and general oversight of the department's accounting.
Revenue from Concealed and Carry Permit Fees
The audit of the Sheriff's records showed 83 CCW permits were issued since the current sheriff took office, with another 34 renewals occurring during the same time period. The revenue from the permits should total $5,600, but state auditors were only able to find $4,575 recorded in the Sheriff's fee agent account, a loss of $1,025. Following the audit, the report says Sheriff's department personnel found $324 "which they believe represented CCW fees previously received and not deposited."
As for the remainder of the money, Sheriff Scott Wedlock believes they weren't lost. He thinks they were never collected.
"When I took office, I inherited a wad of cash that was the concealed carry money," Wedlock said. "The auditors that came through the time beforehand did not audit the concealed carry money, so there's kind of a question as to where you start and where you stop. I think it's pretty much a probability that there were people given CCWs that weren't charged for them in the prior administration."
Today, Wedlock says everyone pays a flat fee: $100 for a permit, $50 for a renewal.
Bank Accounts
The Sheriff's department maintains two checking accounts. One a commissary account holding inmate commissary funds, phone card sales and phone commissions. The other is the Sheriff's fee agent account. This is money collected from civil fees, bonds and concealed and carry (CCW) fees. The audit discovered bank reconciliations were not being performed for either account. In May of 2011, the cash balance for the fee account was short $1,572.
Wedlock said the money from the CCW classes is a part of this deficit.
The audit also discovered the Sheriff's commissary account was being used to purchase items for the department, such as inmate clothing, a stove and a dishwasher. While these purchases were clearly for the department and not improper, the Sheriff has "no statutory authority…to hold county monies outside of the country treasury."
In the report, Wedlock responded, "Given the recent letter from the Attorney General's office regarding this matter and discussion with the State Auditor's office, Sheriff's Association and legal counsel, I am attempting to determine where these funds should be placed."
Phone Card Sales
The Sheriff's office purchases phone cards for the prisoners. The phone cards cost the department $6.50 each and are sold to the prisoners for $10. The audit discovered 171 phone cards were missing, a loss to the county of $1,710. Sheriff Wedlock says he believes they were stolen, but he doesn't have any suspects.
In response to the audit, the phone cards are now being numbered when they are purchased and the department has implemented a system to track the sales.
Fuel Purchases and Usage
The Sheriff's department purchases fuel for its vehicle with fuel cards provided by the county. The audit found that while usage/fuel logs were maintained by all but one of the Sheriff's vehicles, some of the logs were not complete. The audit also focused on the fuel statement for February of 2011. Auditors found 40 percent of the fuel purchased was "not supported by receipts or included on the fuel logs." The Sheriff's approval, however, was indicated on the statement.
"I don't think there's any indication of abuse," Wedlock said. "I think it was a system that we were using not unlike other parts of the county government. It just wasn't adequate they were wanting."
General Oversight
Spence Jackson with the auditor's office would not attribute the problems in the sheriff's department to deliberate fraud, waste and abuse.
"I think it's a lack of oversight and a lack of adequate supervisory review. Those are internal controls that they could improve upon, if they would make the effort," Jaskson said.
It's the last six words that are key to changes being made for the better. Several of the problems this audit found were also found during previous audits, yet nothing was done to correct them. According to Jackson, that's something that happens all too often, and not just in Holt County.
"We'll come into an area, conduct an audit, point out recommendations such as we have here. Sometimes the changes are implemented. Sometimes they're not. It knows no size boundaries. We see it in places as large as St. Louis and Kansas City and small areas like Holt County."
This contributes to a culture where fruad waste and abusive of public funds is possible.
"Anytime you have sloppy bookkeeping, that certainly does open the door to bad opportunities," Jackson added.
Sheriff Wedlock says many changes are already in place because of the findings of the audit.
"You're foolish if you don't listen to the professional people. Take their advice, make changes and move on."
