Albany, N.Y. - More than 100 people gathered at the Albany International Airport to welcome back Lance Corporal Austin Brozowski. His family and friends hoping to honor his sacrifice and service in a big way.
"We're just really proud of him. It's been a
long seven months. We're just happy he'll be united with the family again," said his mom Kelly Brozowski.
Kelly Brozowski of East Greenbush has been awaiting the arrival of her son Lance Corporal Austin Brozowski for seven months. He's been serving in Afghanistan. As she prepares for that reunion so was her son, fixing his marine uniform pockets pressed, boots tied. Seven-year-old Micah was getting ready to welcome his big brother home too.
"I love him and I missed him, said Micah.
With just an hour to go before US Airways flight 4641 arrived with their hero family, friends and even strangers gathered. The Patriot Guard was lined up with flags ready. Next to them World War II and Korean War veterans also supporting Lance Corporal Brozowski.
Finally the moment everyone was waiting for came.
"I really appreciate everyone coming out. This is
the best thing that's ever happened to me to be honest. All the support and what
not so I can't thank you guys more," said Brozowski.
Overwhelmed and grateful Corporal Brozowski didn't want to forget to thank those veterans who came to stand tall for him and his family.
"I just want to say thank you all for what you do. You're never forgotten just like I'll never be," said Brozowski.
With their hero home, a peace came over the crowd that gathered.
"He's a very spiritual boy and that's what gets him through," said his grandmother Joyce Jones.
"You just got to have faith. A little faith will get you a long way. God is definitely, he's always there," said Brozowski.

The Daily Scope
This is a good day for romance—on your terms. You feel strong and confident and he finds you attractive. If you're planning a romantic evening, try that new place you've been hearing so much about. Exotic surroundings enhance your magnetism.
Spend some time today in a peaceful and quiet environment. You've been working so hard and meeting new challenges head on; now you need to relax and recharge. But don't just reach for the remote; nourish your soul with reading or meditating.
Gemini, today the stars impart the gift of gab, and you feel flirtatious, witty, and free-spirited. Unleash your charm offensive not only for your own benefit—is there someone you've had your eye on?—but also for the greater good. Today you can be a peacemaker.
Cancer, your communication skills are strong today, and you can easily articulate your thoughts and feelings. Meetings with people in a position of authority go well, and you're able to speak authentically even in a formal setting. The rapport you create will be surprising and rewarding.
Leo, today's date should be circled in red on your calendar and marked with a big S for Sexy! Your charm and confidence can win over anyone today. Use that power to do something exceptional: Is tonight the night to indulge in a secret fantasy you've longed to fulfill? Yes! You are a force to be reckoned with!
Today your spiritual side calls to you, Virgo. Pay attention and take your time. Subtle influences will reveal themselves to you and you will find profound insight when you look close enough.
Libra, the socialite in you is craving a delightful day spent with amusing people and charming activities. The problem is you don't know where to find them. Is it time to expand your social circle and meet new people? Fresh faces bring excitement into your life.
Your focus is like a laser beam today — you're disciplined and accomplishing a great deal. A daunting task becomes doable if you apply your creative and imaginative abilities. Even if it's a chore, you will make it entertaining and time will fly.
Your ideas are on the mark today, and you have all the right answers. Use today's energies to your advantage and push for a leadership role. By taking charge, you will insure that your ideas come to fruition in just the way that you have planned.
Capricorn, you are usually straightforward and direct. But today you are asked to draw upon your more mysterious side. Don't be afraid to be enigmatic, a woman of mystery. You have an alluring personality that fascinates and attracts people. If someone's curiosity is piqued, make an emotional connection, but maintain your mystique.
Aquarius, you worry from time to time that you have ADHD because if a conversation bores you, you simply can't concentrate. Today is different. Anything and everything fascinates you, and boredom is an impossibility. Take advantage of this and talk to everyone, even if the conversation veers into strange territory. Minds are open today.
Since you're in such a productive, practical mood today, be sure to pay attention to the details. You have the diligence to bring something really special to this project. Work hard and then, later, step back and admire what you've created.

This was booked as my 65th birthday celebration, hence taking all the family.
The day I booked this cruise last September was the same evening that the ship appeared on Watch Dog. I booked cruise at approx 5 pm and by 8 pm was wondering what on earth we had done! Nevertheless, after much heart ache and apprehension, imagine our absolute delight on arriving at our cabins how thrilled we were with them, we had booked inside cabin for ourselves and two outside plus cabins for the others, all of which were really lovely cabins.
We had a wonderful week cruising, the crew and cabin staff, especially our waiter, Alvis, were always very attentive, nothing was too much trouble which with childred aged 2, 6, & 8 was more than we could ask for. The entertainment at the shows was exceptional, every night was a different show, and matched any West End show we have seen! The food was excellent in whichever restaurant we visited and the weekly midnight buffet was truly breathtaking, like visiting an art gallery! Took many photos. As our children and their families had never cruised before, they were all very impressed and enjoyed the experience. We visited many lovely locations and enjoyed them all.
My tip to anyone thinking of travelling on The Dream, is DO NOT TAKE ANY NOTICE OF THE WATCHDOG PROGRAMME. Thomsons never said she was a new ship, just a new ship to them, and what a charming ship she is. We have travelled with Fred Olsen and Royal Carribean in the past and must say we will definitely travel with Thomsons on a cruise again, hopefully in the near future. Embarkation and Debarkation very easy and quick.

Alumni Profiles - Simon Alexander
No matter the season, early mornings on the farm evoke a simple beauty. Across the 300 acres of open and fenced pastures surrounding the Witter Center, moonshine dances off fresh blankets of snow and, in summer, mist rises from the standing hay. In the barn, the setting is nearly as romantic when the two rows of Holsteins stand stanchioned, waiting.
But as any dairy farmer will tell you, the work is arduous, dirty and regular as clockwork. And rewarding.
Each semester, about a dozen students, some of whom have no prior experience with large animals, are scheduled to undertake the daily milkings and chores at 3:30–7 a.m. and 3–5:30 p.m. In addition, the students are responsible for such activities as keeping the herd book, feedings, and barn mucking and cleaning. The dairy cattle technology class taught by Marcinkowski meets weekly for discussions in a room at the Witter Center and for demonstrations in the barn that blend theory and practice.
The students have to know their way around cows and dairy production, and they take their responsibility for the animals and their peers seriously. Scheduled for the morning milking and don't show up? That means you've left your milking partner flying solo — a very unpleasant task when 35 cows wait anxiously to be milked. Show up too late and you'll also face a barn full of agitated, uncomfortable bovine.
Typically, the pair of students assigned to morning chores begins by checking the milking system, readying the sanitizers and generally cleaning up. Any given morning can come with its share of surprises, including new calves delivered overnight.
Weekly, one student is named productions herdsperson, another named heifer herdsperson, with responsibilities for monitoring vaccinations and heat checks, and cleaning the maternity pens.

Hernande/ Puerto RicoJanuary 30th, 2007 at 3:32pmUSE YOUR TIP FOR UNRESPONSIVE SCRIPT, WHICH I HAD AND IT WORKED FANTASTICALLY!
Patricia StrongAugust 17th, 2010 at 12:59pmI was so hoping this message would enable me to bypass the ongoing hassles I have encountered from the dreaded Unresponsive script messages. Sadly I am not sufficiently wise to be able to apply the solution. which I am certain most PC users find most helpful.
It seems I would need to be walked through in a sequence for bears of very little brain.
Thank you for your solution. Too bad I am not bright enough to utilize it.
SylviaJune 5th, 2011 at 4:06pmI agree with Patricia.Geez why not use words we can understand?
kzJuly 28th, 2011 at 1:07pmit doesnt take much to understand it. read it slowly and do each thing, step by step!
MartAugust 31st, 2011 at 4:59amInstructions walked me through it a step at a time and so far seems to have done the trick. Thanks.
DrewApril 6th, 2012 at 4:37pmThis post was very helpful. It's easy to follow and gets straight to the point. I was getting quite annoyed with the scrip error messages to the point where they actually caused Firefox to "not respond". I haven't seen a single popup error message yet! Thank you!
ChrisitneJuly 6th, 2012 at 9:42pmWOW!!! Everything runs faster! This was so very simple and VERY effective. (I do have sympathy for those who feel intimidated by the instructions. I think I'll create one with screen shots and post it.) THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
December 18th, 2012 at 3:25pmThis just started happening EVERY time I open Firefox on my desktop since the most recent "patch". My notebook does NOT have the problem. I'm not a programmer so I don't understand scripts, but when I open to homepage it happens on desktop not notebook, and if I click on a link in an email it happens on desktop but not on notebook. Isn't a script some code in the page? I already tried reinstalling Firefox on the desktop and increased the filter to 15. If we're talking 15-30 seconds, who has time for that? much less patience.
I know this is an old blog but hope someone is still reading it.

MOO is a values-led business. Our work is driven by a strong set of core values which define our culture, how we work and everything we produce. Our values pretty much sum up what we're all about, so listen up.
Design is key to the MOO business and our customers. We believe that everything we produce should look good, work well and make the customer feel great about the things they've made with us. Good design runs through everything here, from the workings of the website, to our products, packaging, marketing and events.
MOO was founded on innovation. From the revolutionary MiniCard to our user-friendly interface and 'Printfinity' technology, innovation is – and always will be – at the heart of everything we do. As creative thinkers we like to be first with new things, to be a leader in our market with the confidence that we've invented things that weren't there before. MOO doesn't do 'me too.'
Unlike many traditional retail businesses we enjoy active conversations with our customers. Being a good communicator and participant in online communities strengthens the bond between us and our customers, helping us to understand their needs – and create better products for them.
Not just an empty corporate word - MOO strives for excellence in everything we do. But excellence with an exclamation mark - excellence that brings with it a sense of infectious excitement, for the products we make, and the way we make them.
MOO loves Ambitious
Here at MOO, we like a challenge: big and small. We always think there is room for improvement. You'll have some great accomplishments under your belt, but still have the potential for so much more. You will need to take smart risks, and be comfortable challenging the status-quo to make us (and yourself) better.
MOO loves Clever
We'll be honest: start-up isn't the easiest environment. No one's job is a piece of cake, after all, if it were easy everyone would be changing the world. We look for people who thrive in the kind of fast and complex environments that can produce real step-changes in thinking. Clever is more than just intelligent: it's about finding solutions, not just discovering problems. It's about being an expert, but also adapting quickly to every new challenge. You may even be asked to do tasks that aren't part of your existing skill set, focus on things that may be out of your comfort zone. Whatever the challenge everyone here at MOO pulls together to create something collaborative and great, after all, none of us is as smart as all of us.
MOO loves Resourceful
MOO turns lemons into lemonade. As a startup, we don't have the luxury of endless time and resource. We move quickly, and cost-effectively. We need you to be creative, and scrappy: quickly find things that work and then build successfully on them. You'll use your experience to find new ways to make existing things work better, or turning epic failures into a fist full of win.
MOO loves Nice
Take your cue from Little MOO: always professional, yet honest and nice. Startups are stressful, but we learn how to excel in that stress. We want people who balance listening with talking. Teamwork and good relationships are a critical part of our success, and if you can't act with integrity, you won't be able to help us all reach our goals. There are a million and one ways to get to the top, we'd like to be friends with everyone who joins us there. So kick butt, but play nice.
MOO loves Passionate
We love what we do. Hearing from our customers, and learning how our products make a difference in their lives really makes it all worthwhile. We want you to be excited to come to work every day. We want you to dream up new ideas to help us change the world, one card at a time. Anyone can just hit 'print': but a passionate team will inspire amazing things in one another, and create products that customers will adore. We don't just like to print, we love to print, and we hope you do too.

Energy is the life-blood of commerce. The smart grid -- an intelligent electricity-delivery system drawing significant interest from the U.S. government, venture capital investors, startup companies, and established tech giants, including IBM, Cisco, GE, and Google -- promises to make that energy flow more freely, more reliably, more efficiently, and at lower costs to both consumers and businesses.
[ Learn about Google's foray into smart-grid technology. | Get weekly updates on green IT new by subscribing to InfoWorld's free Green Tech newsletter. ]
Just one of the benefits of the smart grid -- reducing power outages -- arguably helps justify the federal government's desired investment of $17 billion in federal funds into transmission and smart-grid investments. According to Electric Power Research Institute estimates, power outages cost U.S. business at least $50 billion a year.
But reducing power outages is but one of the potential benefits of connecting utilities and consumers through an intelligent network. With smart meters installed at homes and businesses to monitor energy consumption and transmit information between energy providers and consumers, the smart grid promises to be substantially more efficient than today's system. I'll dig more deeply into the capabilities and features of the smart grid as I share what I view as some of the top benefits it holds for business.
1. The smart grid can reduce the costly impact of blackouts. Our current energy grid is, well, dumb. It doesn't know when one of its components needs upkeep or has failed -- and the utility company doesn't know, either, until someone calls in to report it. Then we all just sit and wait for the lights to come back on.
A smart grid, by contrast, is self-aware, a point explained to Congress Wednesday by IBM vice president of strategy and development Allan Schurr. "Imagine a system that continuously monitors the state of the network, looking for approaching equipment failures by analyzing such things as transient voltage data and transformer oil temperature to predict when equipment may fail so it can be maintained or replaced just in time," he said.
Schurr continued, "Imagine a system that detects an outage and automatically isolates the problem by rerouting power to affected customers, while simultaneously diagnosing the cause and dispatching the nearest repair crew that has the replacement parts on the truck."
Equipment failure isn't the only cause of a blackout: During the hot summer months in parts of the country, the electric grid feels heavy strain when homes and business crank up the air conditioning. The strain can get so high, it can result in rolling blackouts.

Once again having to fix something that never should have been broken:
"I'm pleased we've restored COLA cuts for the most severely wounded veterans, but we need to restore pension cuts for all of our military retirees," Hagan said. "We've made a commitment to these brave men and women, many of whom have deployed overseas for combat missions multiple times, and we must keep the promises we've made to them. I will continue working to ensure our veterans receive the benefits they have earned."
If you'll flip your channel over to News14 now, you'll see a recurring story about five hundred soldiers from the 18th Airborne Corps deploying to Afghanistan for a 12 month tour. Whenever you see something like this, pay particular attention to whether they have a military unit patch on their right arms. This denotes (at least one) previous deployment into a combat zone, and every single soldier I saw in this video had one, from various units. That's all I'm going to say about that.
DAG McCrory hits another foul ball in his staffing decisions:
I did not serve in the military. I don't know what it's like to be in combat, let alone in an environment where people who look like civilians may be shooting at you the next moment, or planting a roadside bomb or planning an ambush. He was responsible for the lives of his men, not for the lives of suspected Iraqi insurgents.
But unarmed prisoners? Wasn't there also a duty to deliver them, still alive, to the appropriate place?

But unarmed prisoners? Wasn't there also a duty to deliver them, still alive, to the appropriate place?
Not only a duty as delineated by rules of engagement and UCMJ articles, but a duty under Geneva and Hague Convention requirements:
But the proof will be in the pudding:
The new governor pledged to be attentive to the needs of veterans and said he would use returning veterans as a recruitment tool to lure industries to locate or expand in North Carolina. "I hope to have veterans be part of our economic recovery," he told more than 400 people who gathered Saturday night at the Mid-town Hilton.
Considering that your Republican pals in the General Assembly ignored the pleas of the Ft. Bragg Garrison Commander and went forward with a bill helping loan sharks take advantage of our troops, you may have a little difficulty backing up that promise. And so far, they've completely ignored this problem:
We'll start with a message from the Commander-in-Chief:
"No ceremony or parade, no hug or handshake is enough to truly honor that service," the president said, adding that the country must commit every day "to serving you as well as you've served us."
Tomorrow is a very important day for those of us who've served. It seems like forever since I wore a uniform, but I still get a few "thank you's" every year about this time, which is very cool. But to be honest, it's what you do for those other 364 days that really matters. And for the next fews years anyway, it will matter even more:
BlueNC Friends,
After dozens of events across North Carolina since the DNC, our Veterans for Obama group has written a concluding piece about why we think the choice on election day is clear: President Obama has been a strong Commander-in-Chief, who believes that responsibly ending war means honoring those who have been called upon to serve in it.
We wanted to share, posted here:
Focal Points Blog
Rachel Maddow just called out four GOP Senators including NC's own Richard Burr. Seems he voted against the veterans' jobs bill today in the US Senate. Burr previously worked with the bill's sponsors to get his ideas included in the bill. Then he voted against the bill.
From Think Progess online:
Senate Republicans prevented a veterans' jobs bill from coming to a vote today by forcing a budget point of order vote. Democrats came up 2 votes short of the 60 needed to defeat the GOP's budget measure.
Apparently the phrase "supporting the troops" is just a political sham:
The legislature's failure this summer to give a tuition break to veterans at North Carolina's colleges and universities may result in a federal lawsuit, the leader of a student veterans organization said Wednesday. "It's really inexcusable," Thigpen said. Lawmakers say they support veterans, he said, but "what really defines our character and who we are is not just what we talk about doing, but what we do."
Semper Fidelis, De Oppresso Liber, and Esse Quam Videri. One of those three Latin mottos is no longer worth the effort to type it.
This not only costs veterans money they can't afford to spend, it could cost them (and their families) their future:
The GI Bill last year quit paying the difference between in-state and out-of-state tuition for veterans attending public colleges and universities. The veterans were told to pay the difference.
That's an extra $19,826 per year (UNC-CH) out of some pretty shallow pockets. In other words, they either won't be able to attend, or they'll have to take on crushing debt to do so. If the General Assembly fails to act, it's the same thing as saying "Your service and sacrifice mean nothing to us." And while we're on the subject of sacrifice:
Because apparently they haven't sacrificed enough yet:
Republicans and Democrats alike are signaling a willingness — unheard of at the height of two post-Sept. 11 wars in Iraq and Afghanistan — to make military retirees pay more for coverage. It's a reflection of Washington's newfound embrace of fiscal austerity and the Pentagon's push to cut health care costs that have skyrocketed from $19 billion in 2001 to $53 billion.
We had no problem sending suitcases filled with cash to Iraq, signing billion-dollar contracts for mercenaries who earn 3-4 times as much as those troops, having families scrape up the money for body armor for their loved ones, and sending those troops back into the war zone for a 2nd (and sometimes 3rd) tour. But now honoring our promises to them costs too much to sustain? Bullshit.
The wisdom (or lack of) surrounding the combined wars in Iraq and Afghanistan is one of the most debated issues of our time, but what is not debatable is the terrible impact those wars have had on the men and women in uniform who have served in those theaters. And, for many, coming home presents a whole new set of obstacles to overcome, not the least of which is navigating the labyrinthine maze to access benefits that can help them find their way. But for people like Senator Burr, this issue is merely an opportunity for posturing.

We have a Scott's riding lawnmower that Dad purchased around 1998. He got nervous while mowing on a hill one day while it was relatively new and stopped using it. It sat for years until I got it going again a couple years ago.
It mows fine, but this summer we noticed that after a half hour or so, the transmission stops working. After it cools down, it is fine for another half hour.
Looking on the internet, it seems this is not uncommon for many riding mowers; however, replacing the transmission can be expensive.
Anyone have any experience with this; or advice?
Could I have caused damage last year when I was using the mower to pull a heavy trailer through the yard? (Cub wouldn't start that day)

As a Seahawks fan, this moment was a long time in the making. Cortez Kennedy shined in Seattle, toiling away on some terrible teams but always shining along the way. And on Saturday, his efforts were rewarded as he earned the necessary votes for induction with the 2012 Pro Football Hall of Fame class.
Kennedy played his entire career in Seattle, spanning 11 seasons, from 1990 to 2000. In 1992, Kennedy won the Defensive Player of the Year Award, despite playing on a two-win team. In his 11 years in the league, Kennedy was named to the Pro Bowl eight times, the first-team All Pro team three times, and the second-team once.
Kennedy was inducted into the Seahawks Ring of Honor, a proud moment for Seattle fans, in 2006, but has been patiently waiting for his turn to join the Pro Football Hall of Fame. As the years have passed, he's inched closer, earning enough votes to be a finalist in 2011.
Finally, Big Tez is in, and the honor is much deserved. He joins Curtis Martin, Dermontti Dawson, Chris Doleman, Willie Roaf and Jack Butler as part of the 2012 Pro Football Hall of Fame Class.
For complete coverage of the 2012 Hall of Fame class and all other football news, stay tuned to SB Nation's dedicated NFL hub.

GOV. David Paterson on Saturday issued an executive order that prohibits the natural gas drilling process known as hydraulic fracturing in New York state until at least July 1, 2011.
The state Legislature had adopted a moratorium on hydraulic fracturing (commonly called "fracking") that was to be in effect through May 15, 2011. Paterson vetoed that measure -- citing the fact that it barred permits for other energy drilling processes, as well -- before ordering that no fracking be allowed until July 1 at the earliest.�
Paterson, in his order, said the state Department of Environmental Conservation now must conduct a comprehensive review and analysis of high-volume, horizontal fracking in the Marcellus Shale, part of which is in the western Catskill Mountains.
Fracking is the controversial process of forcing pressurized liquid into underground rock to collect natural gas. Opponents say the process can contaminate water supplies, including those in the Catskills used by New York City. The drilling industry, however, says fracking is a proven technology with a good environmental track record.
Paterson's order does not mean fracking automatically can begin next July 1; only that, if the procedure ultimately is approved, that's the earliest it can be carried out.
"We in government must always focus on protecting the well-being of those whom we represent and serve, but we also have an obligation to look to the future and protect the long-term interests for our state and its residents," Paterson said in a prepared statement on Saturday. "Therefore, I am proud to issue this executive order, which will guarantee that, before any high-volume, horizontal hydraulic fracturing is permitted, the Department of Environmental Conversation will complete its studies and certify that such operations are safe."
Paterson said he vetoed the Legislature's moratorium because, besides barring fracking, it would have suspended the issuance of permits for conventional forms of oil and gas drilling.
"This legislation, which was well intentioned, would have a serious impact on our state if signed into law," the governor said. "Enacting this legislation would put people out of work -- work that is permitted by the Department of Environmental Conservation and causes no demonstrated environmental harm."

Earlier today, the San Francisco 49ers popped in out of nowhere to reportedly sign running back Brandon Jacobs to join what is becoming a crowded backfield. He joins Frank Gore, Kendall Hunter, Anthony Dixon and possibly Rock Cartwright competing for carries. The general belief has been that Anthony Dixon could prove to be the odd man out, but maybe this will actually help Boobie improve his game in a substantial way.
Shortly after the news broke about Jacobs, Matt Maiocco tweeted that the 49ers could cross off running back from their draft wants list. Although Kendall Hunter started to emerge as a change of pace back behind Frank Gore, there has still been a fair amount of discussion about the need for another bigger complementary back.
At this point, Brandon Jacobs is reportedly going to sign a one year deal that could max out at $2 million, but will have a base salary of significantly less. Jacobs will not be a lock to make the roster, but obviously brings some skills that could be valuable in the backfield. The question though is whether that will actually impact the 49ers draft strategy as it relates to running back.
The 49ers are in a bit of a tricky situation. They have a young guy in Kendall Hunter who is explosive, but also a bit small. The team very well could view him as a long term feature back, or they could view him as a long term complementary guy to fit with a bigger bulldozing back. We might find out an answer to that question in a few weeks at the draft, because for now, we really don't have an answer.
We've been discussing how the 49ers are in a position to draft best player available, but BPA also does factor in needs, even if it is a projected need down the road. Where does running back fit into that kind of BPA draft model following the signing of Brandon Jacobs? Or does the signing even impact that at all?

The International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex Association (ILGA)congratulated the people of Argentina by distinguishing the President of the Republic of Argentina for the promulgation of the "Law of Egalitarian Marriage" which makes this country the first one in the Latin America and Caribbean region to legally recognize the marriage of same-sex couples.
Pedro Paradiso Sottile, ILGA Regional Co-Secretary for Latin America and the Caribbean and recognized gay activist of Comunidad Homosexual Argentina (CHA), handed a plaque to the President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner on behalf of ILGA, Thursday 22,
2010, in Argentina's presidential building, traditionally known as the "Pink House". It is the first time in ILGA's 30 year history that the world federation recognizes a chief of State.
Handed in the name of ILGA's 700 member organizations from some 110 countries around the world, the plaque mentions Dra. Cristina Fernández de Kirchnerby's contribution to the promotion of universal human rights, the principle of equality and non discrimination of people on the basis of their sexual direction and gender identity, on the national and
international levels.
It is worth recalling how, during its current Government, Argentina has recognized the payment of pensions to widowers and widows of same-sex couples (2008), elaborated a National Plan Against Discrimination that includes the LGTBI agenda, lobbied publicly for
resolutions of non discrimination on the grounds of sexual direction and gender identity at the United Nations (from 2004 till 2008) and at the Organization of American States (OAS, from 2008 till 2010), and finally promulgated the Law of Egalitarian Marriage, that recognizes from now on, Argentinean families in all their diversity (July 2010).

There is a would-be fantastic abandoned Buddypress plugin that breaks with 1.5. When you activate the plugin, it creates a whole bunch of pages over and over again for Privacy and Maintenance templates. It also seems to spam SQL queries of doom.

A 42-foot vessel is stuck
in the Caloosahatchee River after hitting some rocks, according to
emergency crews in Cape Coral.
Officials say the vessel
was heading south down river and ended up on the rocks after a combination of
wind and captain error pushed the boat to the wrong side of the markers.
The Cape Coral
and Iona McGregor fire departments helped get the three men who were onboard
back to land.
Those people on board said the captain is an experienced boater who was trying to get the
boat to its new home when it ran aground.
"We were just bringing it home, it's brand new home, didn't make it yet,"
said Ken Hank, who was onboard.
He says the day was quite different that he and his friend, the boat's captain,
had imagined.
"He's a good
friend of mine and he's the one that's got a lot of mixed emotions right now,"
Hank said.
Hank says
the captain just bought the 42-foot vessel yesterday. They were heading to
Punta Gorda Thursday morning when they got stuck on the rocks.
No one was
hurt; but the scene drew crowds to Cape Coral's Jaycee
Park where crews launched
in hopes of towing and salvaging the vessel.
At 5 p.m.,
crews had been trying to tow it off rocks for hours. But they won't be getting
much help from the tides. High tide tonight is expected to raise levels only 10
So right now, it's still unclear how much longer the boat will be stuck there.

I am not the biggest fan of his bags but I love the color combination and the horizontal straps on the sides of the bag. Which is a nice suprise because usually designers go with vertical lines on the sides of a bag. Adore her and her bag!!!
that bag is hideous
I yet would not 'entrust' my $1,500 to a Christian Louboutin handbag(creation)
Not feeling the bag or the shoes. And what's she wearing? Bandages? Did she just come from surgery or something? Dreadful…

One of Patch's goals is to make life ridiculously easy for our communities, and that includes businesses.
To that end, we'd like to introduce Susanne Klarr-Spruit, Patch's Ad Manager for Farmington Hills, Novi, Plymouth-Canton and Northville. She comes armed with ridiculously effective advertising deals that should fit most any budget.
We caught up with Susanne recently to ask her a few questions:
Where did you grow up and go to school?
I grew up in Livonia and went to high school at Livonia Stevenson. I'm a Spartan and graduated with a Communication Arts degree. I've been married for 22 years and have three boys, age 11, 15 and 18. I am surrounded by males - even my dog is a male - and couldn't be happier!
What's your experience?
I have over 15 years of experience on the advertising agency side in account services. My list of clients included Border Books, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Kelly Assisted Living and General Motors. I also had the opportunity with work with small businesses including a high-end jeweler, a local ice cream distributor and a shopping mall. So I have a breadth of experience dealing with businesses of all sizes.
What are your personal hobbies/passions?
I love to spend time with my three boys, attending sporting events, cooking (nothing says love like a chocolate chip cookie!), snow and water skiing and chilling at the lake.
What are the biggest obstacles facing small businesses today?
Staying on top of the ever-changing media landscape is hard but vital to their survival. Letting go of standard advertising options and embracing the electronic world may be hard but our early adopters have seen great success at Patch. Advertising works but it requires a balance of the right message, targeted to the right audience, in the right place, at the right time. And consistency. Never underestimate the effectiveness of consistency.
How can you best help small businesses become more successful?
I'll sit together with the business owner and learn what their marketing objectives are and will then craft a strategic advertising plan to help accomplish their goals. And we can create a plan to fit everyone's budget. And then on to the fun stuff....working on a creative message that is strategic and concise. Its not brain surgery but you have to remain focused on your strategic objectives in the creative process too.
You can reach Susanne at email@example.com and at 248.719.8427. Get in touch. She'll come out to see you.

As you're probably aware, Friday - that's today! - is the 100th anniversary of the first game at Fenway Park. The Red Sox are to play the Yankees, and before the proceedings, there were other proceedings. Ceremonious proceedings. In front of a packed house, the Red Sox wheeled out and sometimes literally wheeled out pretty much every player to ever wear a Red Sox uniform. There was Oil Can Boyd. There was Johnny Pesky. There was Izzy Alcantara. There was Lou Merloni. With rare exception, if there's a guy you associate with the Red Sox in your head, he was present in Fenway Friday afternoon.
By and large, the pre-game ceremony was touching and well conducted. Wrote Peter Abraham:
The ceremony is over. How it could have been better, I'm not sure. If you're a fan of baseball, you had to enjoy that.
Twitter agreed. I don't follow everybody on Twitter, but the consensus from what I saw was "the Red Sox really know how to do this."
But when the ceremony was over, the ceremony was not over. There was still the matter of the toast. The potentially record-breaking toast.
Friday's ceremonies will also include a toast to Fenway Park. When fans arrive at their seats, they will find a grape juice drink and cups beneath their seats or in cup holders. The crowd will be invited to participate in the toast at the end of the pre-game ceremonies, in an attempt to set a world record for the largest toast in a single venue.
The toast was led by World Series winners Pedro Martinez and Kevin Millar. I wrote "colorful" up there instead of "bad" because I wanted to be polite, but the toast was bad. Here is a representative image:
I don't know if Pedro and Millar were blackout drunk, but they sounded like they were blackout drunk. After leading the toast from on top of the dugout, they started talking about Karim Garcia. Then they kept talking about Karim Garcia, and then in the line of the day, Millar said "I think we're done, this is awkward now."
The toast captured the spirit of the 2004 Boston Red Sox, because that really was a team full of idiots, but I can think of more dignified ways to end what was otherwise a dignified ceremony. If you're trying to tug at people's heartstrings, and if you're trying to give people an experience they'll never forget, I don't know why you'd hand a microphone to Kevin Millar. I don't know why you'd hand a microphone to Kevin Millar in any circumstance, unless you're holding a microphone with a spider on it, and you're standing by Kevin Millar.

Patrick Peterson wins battle with Calvin Johnson
That storyline this week was the NFL's best receiver, Calvin Johnson of the Detroit Lions, against one of the top young cornerbacks in the game in Arizona's Patrick Peterson.
Johnson did catch 10 passes for 121 yards, but Peterson and the the Cardinals defense kept Johnson out of the end zone in a convincing 38-10 win at University of Phoenix Stadium -- and the second-year man from LSU had his fingerprints all over it.
In the second quarter, Peterson intercepted a Matthew Stafford pass intended for Johnson, got back to his feet and weaved through Lions' players all the way down to the Detroit three-yard line. Two plays later, Beanie Wells plunged into the end zone from two yards out, giving the Cardinals a 14-7 lead they'd never relinquish.
"It was everything I thought it would be," Peterson told the Arizona Cardinals Radio Network after the game. "He's a great athlete and a tremendous, tremendous receiver. I give the guy the utmost respect because he continues to do what he's known for week in and week out.
"It was definitely a tough task for me, like I said throughout the week -- it was going to be a measuring stick for me and I thought I measured up pretty well here today and hopefully I can keep that going for the rest of the season."
Peterson finished the game with a team-high seven tackles and broke up two passes in addition to his game-changing interception. He now has seven interceptions on the season, which is tied for the second-most in the league.
"I just wanted to be physical, I wanted to meet him at the line of scrimmage each and every down," Peterson said. "Each and every down, I wanted to draw a line in the sand just to let him know this was the type of game it was going to be.
"Those guys came out with a great game plan, but we knew what they wanted to do and we picked them off the way we needed to."
When Peterson wasn't one-on-one with Johnson, cornerback William Gay and safety Kerry Rhodes double-teamed the All-Pro, similar to outside coverage on a punt return, to help keep him in check.
"I didn't necessarily agree with the coverage but the head man (Ken Whisenhunt) has the last say, so he thought that would be the best opportunity to slow him down a little bit and that's what we did."
Whisenhunt said the Cardinals' game plan for Johnson wasn't necessarily original.
"There's other teams that have done that," Whisenhunt said. "New England's done it before and Kansas City we've seen do it before, so it's not a completely new approach but part of it was to let them know we were going to take him out on that play. That puts the onus on other guys that they've got to be able to cover when we know that they're not going to go to Calvin Johnson.
"It was a good scheme, our defensive staff did a great job and our players executed it well."
Johnson had nothing but praise for Peterson following the contest.
"Good corner," Johnson said. "Good ball skills, overall a good player, man. It's a pleasure to play good players in this league -- because it's some great competition and he's one of the good ones."

ELIZABETHTOWN — Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed Essex County's one-quarter percent sales tax hike into law Tuesday.
"That means about $2 million more for Essex County on an annual basis," County Board of Supervisors Chair Randy Douglas (D-Jay) said. "It's revenue we really need."
In June, both houses of the State Legislature approved Essex County's request for a one-quarter percent hike in its county sales tax.
The 3.75 percent county rate would go to 4 percent — matching the state's 4 percent — if the Essex County Board of Supervisors votes for the increase at its September regular meeting.
If lawmakers OK it, as they are expected to, Essex County would then have a combined sales-tax rate of 8 percent, the same as surrounding counties.
Douglas said the increase bill made it to the governor's desk on Monday.
"There was no guarantee he'd sign it this fast, but we thought he might."
Cuomo had 10 days to sign the bill or veto it.
Assemblyman Dan Stec (R-Queensbury) sponsored the bill in the Assembly, while State Sen. Betty Little (R-Queensbury) submitted it in the Senate.
The sales-tax increase by itself would help, but it wouldn't balance the 2014 county budget, County Manager Daniel Palmer told supervisors at their regular session this month.
"Without the operation of the (Horace Nye) Nursing Home, the projected net budget for 2014 is $24.6 million; that's about the amount we anticipate based upon normal increases in health insurance, retirement, those kinds of things.
"We raised $16.8 million (in taxes this year), so that means we have a gap of nearly $8 million — $2 million additional in sales tax is not going to do it."
The county is selling Horace Nye Nursing Home to a private operator to remove more than $2 million in annual losses.
