Two reports from the inspector general detail separate allegations of misconduct
The Veterans Affairs Department's inspector general believes that high-ranking officials abused their authority, misused their positions, engaged in prohibited personnel practices, improperly administered awards and engaged in nepotism while working in the department's information technology office.
IG investigations of the conduct of people in the IT office substantiated the claims of ethical violations, according to two heavily redacted reports released Aug. 18.
Update: VA responds to IG findings.
According to one report, Katherine Adair Martinez, VA's deputy assistant secretary for information protection and risk management, misused her position, abused her authority and engaged in prohibited personnel practices when she influenced a contractor working for VA and then the VA to hire her friend, Laura Nash.
Martinez also "took advantage of an inappropriate personal relationship" with Robert Howard, the then-assistant secretary for information technology, to move her workplace to Florida even though she spent almost 60 percent of her time at VA's central office, the report states. The IG also concluded that Martinez failed to provide proper contractor oversight.
Meanwhile, Kathryn Maginnis, associate deputy assistant secretary for IPRM, abused her authority and engaged in prohibited personnel practices when she improperly filled four senior-level positions, according to the IG.
The IG recommended that VA take administrative action against Martinez and Maginnis. In a response to a draft of the IG report dated July 30, Roger Baker, the VA's assistant secretary for IT, agreed. It was unclear late Thursday if he had taken action yet.
Meanwhile, Howard, a political appointee who left the agency at the end of the George W. Bush administration, declined to comment to Federal Computer Week.
In a separate report, the IG said Jennifer Duncan, the former executive assistant to Howard, engaged in nepotism and that she abused her authority when she improperly hired an acquaintance and friend at a rate above the minimum rate of pay. The IG also said she used her position for private gain.
In a memo dated Aug. 3, Baker, once again agreed with the IG's recommendations. This time there were 34 recommendations involving improper use of funds, appointments and training for the IT office's employees.
Bob Woods, who served as VA's chief information officer from 1991-1994 said the VA is not the kind of place you want to engage in anything that could be misinterpreted. He added that image and appearances are important and that these types of incidents end up hurting the individuals the most, and it's hard not to have sympathy if you know the people involved.
"In any of these very public positions you're exposed to this kind of scrutiny and people are going to second guess what you did and why," said Woods, president of Topside Consulting.

I find it interesting that all three of the top abusers here are women. The political appointee made one bad decision to move one to FL, but the major abuses are by the others mentioned in the article. I'm not trying to imply anything. I'm just wondering if anybody else had noticed this fact.
I find it interesting how this thread talks about appointees during the "Bush Admin". One of my biggest complaints about Bush was that he left in place 99% of the Bill Clinton appointees on the top. Then he gets blamed for what they do. Because of the power they have, I don't trust _any_ politician who doesn't have someone watching over their shoulder.
This is the all to common problem of bureaucratic organizations lack of basic leadership, mission, and direction. Although allegations at this point, this has been an ongoing issue at VA OIT. They are a HQ organization with no direct involvement with service delivery and should be shrunk down to basic overhead functions like running a helpdesk and buying laptops. OIT is completely out of touch with the mission on one side and in search of a mission on the other. = waste of $ and poor service. I'll I have to say is HealtheVet...
Please remember that the reports are only "allegations". Has anybody stopped to consider what will happen to these employees should these allegations be disproved? How many of you are going to jump on the support bandwagon after these people's careers have been destroyed? I'm definately not saying that the allegations flat out aren't true, I don't know--but what if they're not??

bay village: rachel's kitchen closing
- lschow Oct 18, 2007 10:39 AM
stopped in for lunch and overheard that rachel's kitchen is closing at the end of the month. the owners are opening up a new place (in cambridge?) called hungry mother or something like that. supposedly a new shop with the same concept will take over rachel's bay village location early november.
i had their sandwich special today, which was pulled pork and muenster on black pepper brioche. pork had good flavor but was a lot wetter than what i was expecting, almost to the point of being mushy, but still an okay sandwich. friend got the hot pastrami sandwich and said it was delicious.
Very sorry to see them go; that's one of the better breakfast/lunch spots on this side of the river. I just noticed that they've given up on opening the Village Kitchen, their dream place for an expanded venue in the former Dedo space on Church Street near Park Plaza. Sounds like Bay Village neighborhood opposition sunk it: too bad.
re: MC Slim JB
That kind of sucks, and sad that the Dedo space sits unoccupied. I wonder if I can make it down there before closing. I suppose dealing with such a tiny space gets to be a drag and having this opportunity is good for them. Does anyone know where exactly this will be?
re: Joanie
I was just wondering what ever happened with that concept for the old Dedo. I remember looking at their "future" menu online and being so excited for that style of food; I hope they all find somewhere else to open that restaurant.
Re Rachel's Kitchen, definitely a bummer that they are moving. I always have them in the back of my mind but rarely seem to make it there, unfortunately.
re: MC Slim JB
is that the restaurant to be named "Church?"
not really closing...more like moving.
They're moving to Kendall Square near the movie theater. Bigger place so they can grow a bit more, but the regulars probably won't make it over there...
Just spoke with Rachel and Elon. Last day is the end of the month (that's 11 days, folks). The new owners will take over in Novemeber and will keep the breakfast-and-lunch format. The new place in Kendall Square, Hungry Mother, should be open near the end of the year or early 2008 (we all know to suspect the latter rather than the former; how many places actually open on time?). It will be an entirely different format, with one of their partners, a chef, in the kitchen. They will be dinner-only initially and then will go from there.
It's not up yet, but watch for their website at www.hungrymothercambridge.com .
Looks like they're moving into the old location of The Swan, fka the Kendall Cafe. That's a much bigger space, with a full 1am liquor license and seating for 55. I was just complaining about the scant chow options near the Kendall Square Cinema. Nice to see them get a bigger stage, even if it's more of a hike for me now. I wish them a lot of luck!
Bummah! I love that place. I second the question...will the lobster roll abide?
On the positive side, Kendall will be easier for me to get to...though I'm sad that they won't have breakfast items. Rachel's Kitchen had such wonderful and simple items, like the soft-boiled egg with toast strips. In Ireland, they call those soldiers.
This place had been on my "get-to" list for a while, and I'm sorry I hadn't gone sooner. Tried three things recently:
1. iced coffee black no sugar, which was smooth, yet rich and sturdy, excellent stuff.
2. breakfast sandwich of egg, cheese, and veggie sausage on English muffin. Might be the best of its kind I've ever had, really fresh egg, pleasingly spiced faux meat, gentle but noteworthy flavors, not greasy or doughy at all. Needless to say, this blows Mickey D's version a mile out of the water.
3. smoked turkey wrap with muenster, green apples, red onion, and honey mustard. Absolutely first quality ingredients, but the real revelation for me was how nicely the apple and onion coalesced into something else altogether, like nothing I can recall tasting. Remarkable stuff.
Yeah, I'll drop over to their place in Kendall Square when they open. Count on it.
re: bachslunch
I am a huge fan of Rachel's Kitchen. never a bad sandwich and the best egg sandwiches I have ever had, hands down. If you've never been, go before October 31st, or you'll never have this chance again! Their new place is lunch/dinner and they won't be in the kitchen, they'll be managing. Barry Gaither, their new chef, is AMAZING but I love having Rachel fry me up something on the grill. Seriously, it's the end of an era. Their food is served with love and sass. Can't wait to have a beer with them at Hungry Mother!
re: Fatty 2x4
Elon did mention to me that they might do a Sunday brunch and, if so, he and Rachel might work the kitchen for it. I certainly hope so!
re: Blumie
I think it's spelled Alon. Also Barry's last name is not Gaither, sorry for that mistake.
re: Fatty 2x4
Yes, you are correct about the spelling of Alon's name.
I'm just seeing this now, this is awful news for a local! I moved to the neighborhood a couple of months ago and I stop in Rachel's just about every other day for iced coffee. It's amazing what that place means to the neighborhood, everyone knows everyone else by name there... it's a true-blue local restaurant.
The only silver lining is that I won't be tempted to get a bacon egg and cheese on and English muffin walking by EVERY morning. They're almost too hard to resist, definitely the best breakfast sandwich I've had in the city!
Does anyone know anything about the new owners? Are they really going to move in by November? That'd be great news.
re: heWho
In addition to the amazing egg-and-cheese sandwiches (I always get mine on brioche), their lattes always are consistently great (compared to Starbucks, who's lattes are fair half the time, and bad the other half). My hope is that the new owners plan to keep the place more or less as is.
re: Dax
I found out that the new restaurant, Hungry Mother, will have Barry Maiden from Lumiere in Newton as the head chef. John Kessen, who was GM of Sel de la Terre for five years, is also a partner. The new owners of Rachel's are also a young couple, both chefs, and should be able to open in November as far as I know.
re: Fatty 2x4
But where does that leave Lumiere?
re: chowfamily
Michael Leviton remains the chef/owner of Lumeire; Maiden must have been a lieutenant there. I've long heard that Leviton is seeking a downtown space, likely in the Seaport District, but I don't know where that plan stands.
re: MC Slim JB
Thanks, that makes sense.
I have always enjoyed Lumiere.
re: Fatty 2x4
One of the new owners, Jose, was most recently a sous-chef @ Union Bar and Grill, and highly respected there.
re: phipsi102
Well that's an excellent sign! :)
Of course I hope the quality of the food is maintained, but in this instance I'm more concerned with them keeping that homey, neighborhood, "everyone knows your name" type feel.
Do we still get our name written on a wall? Bought 3 names! Just cureous how that fundraiser for Dedo property worked out.
re: Blumie
Hungry Mother please include the fab Lobster Roll on the menu!
re: michela
Maybe if they get to the point of opening for lunch they'll add it, but I wouldn't expect it on the dinner menu. The concept is just entirely different.
re: Blumie
excellent! although breakfast sandwiches and friendly faces will surely be missed. Hope the new folks take such care!
re: NYA Joe
The concept is entirely different. So while I hope that Hungry Mother is great, it won't be Rachel's Kitchen.

Have you felt the call of video game development? Maybe you've seen some game featured in the news and thought, "That sucks, I can do way better." Well, put your money where your mouth is and prove it. StackSocial is giving customers the opportunity to name their own price and pick up two courses offered by Udemy on the topics of game development and design, or pick up two additional courses by beating the average price.
Google is pretty well known for building a fast and (usually) reliable infrastructure that can stand up to just about anything short a certain Nexus launch. This is why it came as no surprise when the tech giant announced its own cloud hosting service during I/O 2012, giving developers a path to tap into some of that power. Since the launch, Google has attempted to make its Cloud Platform product as appealing as possible, but the response has been fairly tepid.
The final round of Developer Preview images released on Friday left a number of users without root access on their devices, but a lightning fast quick-fix by Chainfire had them back in business the following day. Yesterday, he took to Google+ with a follow-up of how it works and the issues that are making it more difficult to acquire root on the latest version of Android.
Due to increasingly effective security measures and stricter enforcement of SELinux, it seems that many, or possibly all of the available methods for initializing the SuperSU daemon at startup have been rendered ineffective.
On Wednesday, Google teased developers and enthusiasts by officially announcing Lollipop, but chose to delay the release of anything substantial for another two days. Well, we've waited for the obligatory 48 hours, and the SDK is finally available, just in time for the weekend. (Yay?) Developers can finally abandon the interim SDK and move on to the real thing. There's no more pretending 'L' counts as an API Level, Android 5.0 is officially numbered 21.
Back in June, Google announced Android was destined to gain 64-bit support in the coming L release. A few weeks later, Revision 10 of the Native Development Kit (NDK) was posted with support for the three 64-bit architectures that would be able to run the new version of Android: arm64-v8a, x86_64, and mips64. As we close in on the official release of Android L, Google has updated the NDK to revision 10b and added an emulator image developers can use to prepare their apps to run on devices built with Intel's 64-bit chips.
Excitement over products like the Ouya, nVidia's Shield line, and even numerous gamepads proves that gaming on Android has entered the mainstream. Developers have been jumping at the opportunity to build games that work across many of the different operating systems; and thanks to the Cross-Platform SDK, they're able to integrate most of the Play Games services into their products on Windows, Mac, and Linux. Until now, this SDK has lagged behind the SDKs for Android and iOS on one specific feature: real-time multiplayer support.
Today, the CEO of Unity Technology David Helgason announced a collaboration with Intel to add x86 support to the company's wildly popular Unity 3D game engine. The news was presented during the keynote speech at the Unite 2014 game developers conference alongside announcements for upcoming support of Samsung's Smart TVs and Google's Android TV.
Helgason delivered the information pretty quickly, but it's not the kind of thing that requires a long introduction.
Unless you absolutely despise games, you've probably noticed Unreal Engine is sort of a rock star among game development platforms. Not only is it capable of rendering some profoundly gorgeous graphics, it can do so on virtually every major desktop and mobile operating system available. Today, Epic Games is releasing Unreal Engine 4.4 with some new tools for building animation and behavior models, additional rendering features, improved support for Android and iOS, and even some free stuff in the content marketplace.
The Google Play Developer Console has undergone some pretty major changes over the years, including a complete overhaul 2 years ago. While the improvements continue to make for a more powerful and usable tool, some developers still find areas where it could be better. Google's engineers don't have time to build everything for everybody, but a new version of the Google Play Developer API makes it possible to build quite a few things for yourself.
Google's announcement of Android TV made it clear that a final product wasn't ready for store shelves, but it was certainly getting close. While Google is finishing up the software and hardware for an official release later this year, developers have been invited to begin work on their own apps. For most, that means firing up an emulator to test on, but a few have also been granted access to a preview device called ADT-1.

PortalUpdated 1 week ago Released Oct 8, 2007 Single Player Puzzle Compilation
Portal is a first-person puzzle game. Players must solve physical challenges by opening portals to maneuver objects, and themselves, through the enigmatic...
The Source Engine is a 3D game engine developed by Valve Corporation. Its unique features include a large degree of modularity and flexibility, an artist-driven, shader-based renderer, accurate lip sync and facial expression technology, and a powerful, efficient and completely network-enabled physics system.
The Source engine was first shown to the world by being the power-horse behind the hugely anticipated Half-Life 2 which was released in late 2004. Since then the Source Engine has been upgraded with the release of such titles as Half-Life 2: Lost Coast, Team Fortress 2 and the Left 4 Dead series to name a few.
Whilst it has been years since the release of the Source Engine they haven't yet unveiled a 'next-generation engine' as the Source engine is always updating and is just as relevant in the gaming world today if not more than when it debuted in 2004. It has been aided by the release of the free Source Development Kit (SDK) which include such features as HDR for developers to use in their projects. Hence the reasons stated we have yet to see 'Source Engine 2'.
On July 10th 2012, Valve released the 'Source Filmmaker' - a freeware client to allowed anyone to make movies inside the Source Engine. More information on the Source Filmmaker can be found here.
Below you can find a list of amazing features that the Source Engine boasts:
About INFRA with 6 comments by assassini on Oct 24th, 2014
Hey guys! The game has come a long way since we first started working on it. We put together some comparisons to see just how much everything has changed over the years.
In case you were wondering about the post title, we also spent some time improving the foliage in INFRA. We turned on "alpha to coverage" for all foliage. This basically allows the leaves of trees and bushes to be anti-aliased. It's not really visible in the thumbnail, but be sure to click the image and marvel at its full glory.
We also made some changes so that the foliage sways in the wind now. It looks super amazing and really makes the levels come to life.
The flashlight also has volumetrics now. It basically looks like that it illuminates dust floating in the air. Adds a ton of atmosphere to dark levels.
It's really expensive to render at the moment, but we are hoping to optimize it so that it runs a bit better. If that doesn't work, we'll just leave it as an option for the "ultra" graphics level or something.
It has been a fruitful couple of weeks. Oh, and we're hoping to get a new gameplay video out in the near future, so stay tuned for that!

come on HL2 EP3 we cant wait any longer! Whens the black mesa TC being released too :P
Well, you can get SDK by doing this: Steam>View>Tools>Source SDK
Source is the best, Lets develope some blue tooth tech or something so we can put on sensors on our bodies and be able to move in Gmod or maybe any source game, I am interested in making Gmod vids and think it would be fun to be able to pose and move the characteres with my own movement.
have you heard something about the WiiMod?
Wiimote is very sucky
I can't say enough or too much. I LOVE the video. If a doctor could classify what is happening I wounder if it would be classified as a disease of the mind or a virus. I would have to say that either way the video is true.
I love Source, and can't wait to see what is in store next.
Anybody knows when will be the release of HL2:EP3?
It's kinda long I guess... it's the last of HL2. Then another story will come again...
Source is one of the better engines out there, to me even better then the unreal engine just because the amount of detail.
any engine can be 'detailed' too if you had a texture artist with a camera and a sharpen filter.
you obviously don't know much about making games.
Highest Rated (16 agree) 10/10
Even tho it is aging and it is beginning to show its weakness comparred to other more modern engines, it is still my most preferred engine and the only one I was able to get into succesfully. And with all of the updates Valve is giving it, I think the source engine will be with us for a long time. I wouldn't really recommend this for a commerical product, just because there are so many more modern engines out there that will be a lot easier in the long run (like UDK), but all of the commercial games…

EcoConsumer: Disposing of cat litter, and other concerns
Let's dig into the EcoConsumer virtual mailbag and share a few answers to enviro-questions from readers.
Special to NWhomes
Even with all the "green" resources now available at our fingertips, it can still be a struggle to find answers to our eco-quandaries.
Let's dig into the EcoConsumer virtual mailbag and share a few answers to enviro-questions from readers.
Q: My brother has apple trees on his property, but he's not able to pick the fruit. He would like to let a volunteer group pick the apples and donate them to a food bank. If someone falls out of a tree and gets hurt, will he be liable?
A: You are not liable for accidental injury of a fruit-picker when you allow the collection or gleaning of donation-bound fruit on your property, according to Washington's "Good Samaritan Food Donation Act" and a similar federal law.
Anyone who can't pick all their fruit should definitely consider inviting gleaning organizations such as the Seattle nonprofit City Fruit to harvest their crop and donate most or all of it to charitable groups. Call the Garden Hotline at 206-633-0224 to find gleaners in your community, but keep in mind that gleaners can't accept all harvest requests.
Q: A recent EcoConsumer column discussed getting rid of weeds without using chemical weed killers. I use an electric string trimmer on my weeds. What do you think of that method?
A: A string trimmer, or "weed whacker," does a good job knocking down weeds without using herbicides. Many weeds may come back up, since this method doesn't get the root, but at least this takes them out for a while. For greatest convenience, choose a cordless rechargeable model. You're smart to avoid gas-powered string trimmers. Smelly, polluting gasoline is a climate-changing fossil fuel, of course, unlike cleaner hydropower, the source of most of our electricity regionally.
Q: Is it OK to use a home air purifier that produces ozone?
A: Most households don't need an air purifier, but if you do, bypass the ozone models. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, relatively low amounts of ozone can potentially cause respiratory problems.
In an April, 2012, article, Consumer Reports recommended, "Air purifiers that emit even small amounts of ozone are a poor choice if someone in your household has pulmonary problems or allergy symptoms ... advise against using models that produce any ozone, even if they are effective cleaners."
Q: Many new energy-efficient appliances such as refrigerators and washing machines have much shorter life spans than appliances they are replacing (10 years, say, instead of 20 years), according to some repair people and store sales staff. Doesn't this negate their environmental advantages?
A: It may not negate the energy savings, but certainly could result in wasted resources. Seek out appliances that are both energy efficient and durable. Consider recommendations from friends, and consult online reviews and impartial sources such as Consumer Reports. You'll save money in the long run by avoiding cheap, poorly made products.
Q: What's the best way to dispose of cat litter?
A: Most area waste management agencies recommend bagging used cat litter and cat waste and putting it in the garbage. Don't toss any pet waste or cat litter in your collection cart for yard waste and food scraps, and don't put pet poop or standard clay-based cat litter in your backyard compost bin.
Q: What can we do with an old child car seat?
A: The White Center-based nonprofit WestSide Baby accepts all car seats for reuse or recycling, for a suggested donation of $5 for any car seat that cannot be reused. Check WestSideBaby.org for drop-off locations, including one in North Seattle.
For recycling, reuse and proper disposal options for more than 100 categories of items, from old video tapes (electronics) to toilets (porcelain), consult King County's "What Do I Do With ...?" website.
"No questions are dumb, and all questions are great!" That's the informal motto of King County's EcoConsumer public outreach program. Thanks for asking, and keep the questions coming!
Tom Watson is project manager for King County's Recycling and Environmental Services, and EcoConsumer is his biweekly column. He can be reached at email@example.com, 206-296-4481 or KCecoconsumer.com .

This vintage ring is just gorgeous. Made of hallmarked 14Karat white gold, it is set with diamonds and a magnificent blue topaz stone.
The center blue topaz stone is a medium hue and oval in shape. It is 5.87 carats. It is flocked by 2mm diamonds running across the top and bottom and down the shank. The total diamond weight is approximately .25 carats.
The filigree work is exquisite. It has an Art Deco flair, but I suspect it is a later piece.
The ring is a size 7, but can easily be resized by your jeweler. It weighs 6.3 grams and is in excellent condition.
Please Note For any out of country shipments, advance approval is required before placement of orders. Out of country shipments must be by express mail international. Please see my shop terms of sale.

The long awaited, and much anticipated, show dealing with the often rapped about dining habits of our favorite rapper, Action Bronson, is finally upon us. In the premier episode of Fuck, That's Delicious, we hear from our host about what he has been up to while on tour earlier this year. This naturally involves a combination of swan diving off yachts while at least three types of meat are being prepared, finding South Africa's best mixed grill, and taking us to his favorite ice cream parlor in Queens, New York. Stayed tuned for new episodes every month.

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — A San Antonio man is accused of using a sword to fatally stab a friend in the chest in an argument over a woman.
San Antonio police officer Matt Porter says Christopher Shows has been charged with murder in the killing early Tuesday at an apartment complex in the South Texas city.
Porter says the men had been drinking alcohol together and that the victim apparently made a pass at Shows' girlfriend.
He says the victim died at the scene and that the sword was recovered. The victim's name has not been released pending notification of the next of kin.
Porter says the 33-year-old Shows is being held on $200,000 bond. Police did not immediately have information on an attorney for Shows.

How do Americans view today's job market? Apparently not favorably. In a Gallup poll of 1,048 adults in March, more than two-thirds (68 percent) said now is not a good time to find a quality job.

One of the hurdles blocking the extension of unemployment insurance benefits for about 2 million long-term unemployed workers has been eliminated. A small group of Republicans and Democrats in the Senate on March 13 reached an agreement that would extend benefits for another five months – gathering enough support to prevent a filibuster by opponents. The extension would be retroactive to Dec. 28, 2013, when benefits expired. Legislators who have been against extending benefits cite the cost, which runs about …

No doubt about it: Americans are pushing back retirement, either because they can't afford to quit working or they don't care to do so. For some, it is a bit of both. Labor force participation rates have been rising at older ages, even among people in their 70s, and they are projected to continue increasing. This is good news for workers, giving them more time to save for retirement and fewer retirement years to finance. It's also good for employers …

Have you ever felt like an employer was holding your age against you? If so, you aren't alone. In these tough economic times, more and more Americans believe they are facing age-based discrimination at the office. In fact, a 2013 AARP study found that nearly 2 in 3 workers ages 45-74 said they have seen or experienced age discrimination in the workplace. Of those, a whopping 92 percent said it was very or somewhat common. Nearly 20 percent of the …

Celebrity Fashion Face-Off: Anna Faris vs. Jessica Simpsonby Free Britney at . Comments
It's a patriotic photo finish featuring a couple of blonde bombshells! Do blondes really have more fun ... wearing the same dress on July 4 weekend?
Anna Faris modeled a Michael Kors dress at a photo shoot in Los Angeles, while Jessica Simpson wore it to sing the national anthem last week.
Who will prevail when the Observe and Report actress takes on the alleged actress and singer? You decide by voting in our little poll below ...
Who looked better in this red and blue striped thing?
These photos don't look like Anna or Jessica at all!
LOL! This is a no-brainer.... Anna Faris is much hotter and better looking. The people who took this photo are deliberately trying to get people to vote for Jessica Simpson. She's walking and strutting while Anna Faris is being natural and waiting on somebody.... a very natural photo.
you lot suck.... JESSICA LOOKS SMOKING HOT.... SHE GOT SOME NICE BOOBS AND HER HIPS LOOK GREAT IN THAT DRESS. SHE LOOKS BETTER WITH MEAT ON, SKINNY IS SO OLD SCHOOL.... SKINNY IS DISGUISTING INFACT, WOMEN WERE BORN TO HAVE BOOBS BUMS THIGHS AND HIPS JUST LIKE US LATINAS WOOOO.... GO CURVES XX
Tiba is just a jealous bitch 'cause Jessica's got some T & A and I bet you don't! Jessica isn't fake or fat.
Woah, either Papa Joe is rigging the vote or you have a lot of lovers of plastic and blubber on this site, no other way could that fat tranny be winning
Look at the difference between the chests on these two! Jessica blows Anna away body-wise and in their faces. She's cute and sexy. Anna can be cute, but she can't do sexy -- doesn't have the body for it.
neither....this dress was designed for someone tall and thin. sorry, I think they are both beautiful girls but women need to dress for their body type.
Jessica Simpson is huge.
I think the problem with Jessica is that she has taste for sh*t in clothes!

Cant empty trash full of time machine backups
Tried to make more space on external backup drive by dragging 5 time machine backups into my trash but now trash can't seem to empty them and I can't drag them out either. When I unplug drive it goes away but as soon as I plug backup drive in again they are sitting in trash waiting to be emptied. Can anyone help me empty my trash??
Make sure you exit Time Machine first before attempting to empty the Trash. Also, the Time Machine external drive must be attached.
You shouldn't have to manually remove TM backups - TM will clean out old ones when it needs room. Is there any particular reason that you're deleting them manually?
Same Problem
I have the same problem. Obviously, it was a mistake to manually delete TM backups, but there is good reason: TM automatically deletes the oldest backups, and backs up every hour, so if TM drive is left plugged in for a few hours, you end up with lots of backups from today, maybe yesterday, but nothing historic...
I want a backup from 6 months ago, one from 3 months, one from last month and one from last week, as well as yesterday and this morning. Is that unreasonable? TM could do with some options!
Anyway... how can I empty the trash on my TM drive. (have tried sudo rm -rf trashes from the TM directory, but nothing happened.)

McLaren boss Ron Dennis recalls Senna 20 years later
Twenty years after Ayrton Senna's tragic death, Ron Dennis still struggles to speak about the special bond he shared with the Formula One great. Dennis, whose McLaren cars took Senna to three Formula One world titles, rarely delves publicly into his memories of a man who 'was so good for the whole time he was on the planet.' Senna's death left Dennis devastated and the McLaren CEO still regards it as a private and complex affair, preferring to keep his emotions to himself. But as the 20th anniversary of Senna's passing is observed this week at the Imola track where he had his fatal crash on May 1, 1994, Dennis remembered one of the most fruitful collaborations in the history of the sport....

Party bus driver arrested after fatal collision

This death could easily have been avoided if all drivers entrusted to carry passengers were required to blow into a breathalyzer before starting the vehicle (there are other ways to try and assess a driver's sobriety before they can start the vehicle but I am not up to date on that technology. This is such a shame and I feel so much for the family of the victim. I wonder if this driver was a "lone wolf" and driving independently or if he worked for a company. It seems like a bit of a fly by night thing if he was using a converted RV. I hope the vehicle was adequately insured. What a shame this happened. I also wonder if the driver had been arrested for DUi before. So many questions..

Corporate Advocacy Program™
They misrepresented that they were manufacturers,
Engineers, could supply support for construction, foundation design.
The building original quote was $18,000. I realize that did not include a foundation.
They also assured me they had quality contractors to do the work. They did not.
The contractor they sent me to, took $16,000 (Dynamic Steel Builders in Elizabeth Colorado owned by Jim Howe..Another crook)
They promised the building within 2 months and took over a year to deliver.
They overcharged for the building which was incomplete. As well as charging storage.
They like to do all their buisiness via Fax so there is no record of communication to take them to court with. Except of course their contract.
The building took over a year to erect and I had to do the general contracting. Their coordinator was a joke.
The actual final cost not counting the foundation $136,000 and this was with no electricity or interior finish work.
There is so much more but I would have to write a book.
I am planning on taking them to small claims court before the statute of limitations is gone.

I am writing for my parents. My dad is a pastor, and unfortunately got involved with Anthem Steel as well. Of course, the end result is they have no new church building and are out of approximately $10,000. We are looking to potentially bring a class action suit because we now know that this company is worthless and predatory. Could you please contact me so that we could talk more about these horrible people? We already went through a small claims action in Broomfield, and unfortunately lost due to a treacherous arbitration clause in a contract my parents hastily signed with Anthem, but that was on our own with no lawyers. I know we could be successful if we had lawyers and other parties who have gone through the same thing. Please consider us, thank you!!

Dont waste your time with small claims court, you will get no where and end up losing more money. General Steel and J. Knight have a team of people that spend all their time in court. You will be better off contacting the AG and the BBB.........
Good luck!!!!

Meltem Akbulut Yıldırmış (Faculty)
I really like the idea of presenting the content through a variety of modalities (pictures and videos). Yet, I would like to see more videos highlighting the critical features in the StAIR. I would also like to see a teacher page giving information about the learners that this StAIR was intended for and explaining the objectives of the StAIR and also a student page guiding students about how to use the StAIR.
Technical Remarks:
Some of the links do not work (Slide 3).
Sarah Horan (Teacher (K-12))
I really liked the video that you included at the beginning. It's a nice introduction to the sounds of the trumpet and an excellent example. The pictures are really helpful. Especially when you talk about embouchure; it's nice to have first the explanation and then the visual. I think the simplicity is nice. It gives kids who are learning the information without being overwhelming. I was a little confused about the music being included... It assumes the kids have the background to know how to play the notes, but I would think that if they can play the notes, they would know the other things you were introducing as well? I may just be misunderstanding, but that was my thought.
Technical Remarks:
Several of the links were broken. I wasn't able to link from slide 3 and the quiz responses didn't work for me either. If those things were fixed, I think it would be a great tutorial!
Denise Keil (Teacher (K-12))
Hi Jason,
Coming from a nonmusical background I found your StAIR project interesting in the fact that I learned a little about the trumpet. Clarity of audience- what is the grade level that this project is geared for? I wonder if more video clips showing posture positions would have enhanced the concept you are trying to achieve. Overall, I think you have an audience that would benefit from a StAIR.
Technical Remarks:
Some of the links are broken but the few that I were able to view furthered my appreciation of the work that needs to be put forth by the musician to understand the concept. I am a visual learner and appreciate the images that you supplied in your presentation, but I know we must also be mindful of the other learning styles in our planning. Would a video embedded with you playing the trumpet sounds add to your work? This addition would also address the UDL principles and supply differnentiation to your StAIR.
Atoya Martin (Teacher (K-12))
I really liked the various ways the material was presented in this StAIR. The use of video and downloaded sheet music were a plus. The clear directions for the phyiscal exercises were very helpful.
Technical Remarks:
The slide show did not flow well. Some slides did not advance the presentation and other slides began to loop (slide 3). The Video embeded in did not play and the link did not take me to a video. I think the StAIR would play better if downloaded to my computer instead being played via the blog.
Sara Galbreath (Teacher (K-12))
This resource reminds me of my days in band playing trumpet! I appreciate the thoroughness of the content, as well as the videos and pictures to help understand the meaning behind the content. I would like to see more questions, interaction, and feedback.
Technical Remarks:
There are a few links that do not work (slide 3).
Kareem Jabbar Downer-Shojgreen (Student)
I like how informative this StAIR was, my only concern is that some of the flow in the information and the review is lost because the links are broken.
For the most part this StAIR is ok to use. The language and examples are great, the pictures depicting the act of using the trumpet were great. I also like the analogies to filling a glass with water, they helped me understand the breathing better.
Aesthetically, this StAIR is monotonous and I wish there were more visual examples, video examples, and input from more individuals that play the trumpet.
Also, it would have helped to have more aid to some of the vocabulary words like diaphragm and aperture.
Technical Remarks:
Only two links in the actual presentation work. I had to use the navigational links from the slideshare. It took away from the presentation not to be able to participate in it.
