More Maddie Briann Aldridge Pictures!by Free Britney at . Comments
The good folks at OK! Magazine keep releasing more photos from their shoot with Maddie Briann Aldridge (and her parents Jamie Lynn Spears and Casey Aldridge). Man, it's like they are determined to upstage Honor Marie Warren!
One interesting new fact we just learned: Maddie's middle name, Briann, is an ode to Casey's cousin Brian, who died in a car accident a week before her birth, and Jamie Lynn Spears' and Britney Spears' older brother, Bryan Spears.
As for her first name, Casey Aldridge gets all the credit. "Maddie is a name that Casey thought of, and I really liked it," Jamie Lynn Spears says.
Here are some cute shots of unwed teenage mom and baby:

Just to note this a review on their "BUFFET" not the a la carte menu.
Last time I went to a Dodger game the buffet was a raging 5 star, top notch buffet. I didn't mind the $36-38 price tag.
Yesterday (6/18/09) the selection was half the size it was before (without a price change) The meat was tough. There were no "top shelf" items like crab legs, lobster ravioli or not even a carved roast beef or prime rib. Everything was too salty.
If it wasn't for the great view of the field it would have been one of my worse dining experience in quite awhile.
Basically it was a $20 meal with a $36 price tag (ice tea, soft drinks and dessert NOT INCLUDED)
I don't mind a $36 charge if I am going to get an amazing buffet like you would at a top notch hotel on a Sunday morning brunch.... but it fell short.
The bill with tip was about $100 for a budget cafeteria buffet dinner (eck...should have went to "Outback" or even "Ruth Chris" and used the rest of the $$$ on gas!)
I do hope they read this review and make changes to bring back the glorious buffet they used to have.
But for now I'm back to "Dodger" dogs until they do.

FPSRussia compound raid leaves 40-plus ATF, FBI agents empty-handedSubmitted by Calgary4Paul on Fri, 03/29/2013 - 11:15
"Dozens of federal agents scoured the family property of YouTube celebrity Kyle 'FPSRussia' Myers while searching for illegal explosives and possibly weapons, but left empty-handed.
The noise made by popular YouTube channel FPSRussia – famous for destroying man-made mechanisms with the most advanced firearms – has finally been heard in federal quarters. On Wednesday, Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) agents accompanied by FBI agents launched an operation at two locations in Georgia, looking for illegal explosives allegedly used by FPSRussia to produce its YouTube clips.
The ATF suspected Kyle Myers, the iconic 26-year-old host of FPSRussia, of using explosives "with malicious intent," Onlineathens.com quoted ATF spokesperson Richard Coes as saying. Coes cited the cars, fridges and other objects that were regularly blown up on Myers' channel."

It's more than a violation of rights, it's a felony. Police officials and other government officials are not on a "we can do anything we like" mode, they are to be kept on the highest standards.
That means they ought to be charged with a crime, and God grant it, we will move back to that free society we had when they were.
A corrupt action by a government official affects EVERYONE, and is the most dangerous of crimes. It is exactly this reason why government officials used to be executed, where other criminals for similar crimes only got jail, for instance counterfeiting in government. The highest standards. We now have the lowest standards. We have them because the wicked in government aren't brought to justice.

Nothing spectacular, but no changes expected Brad Biggs
The last time Jay Cutler walked out of New Meadowlands Stadium, he left with a headache.
The Chicago Bears quarterback was sacked nine times in the first half of a game last October, an NFL record, and suffered a concussion along the way.
It was one of the dumbfounding parts of the Bears' season as offensive coordinator Mike Martz continued to call pass plays. So, the reshaped offensive line went into Monday night's game against the New York Giants with plenty to prove. Left tackle J'Marcus Webb and right guard Lance Louis were under fire for poor performances in the team's first preseason game. Line coach Mike Tice made it clear change could be on the way.
But in an entire half of action Cutler was sacked only once, on a play where he should have thrown the ball away. That's opposed to four sacks allowed by the starting offensive line against the Bills a week ago.
"Yeah, upright?" Cutler joked when asked if it felt different this time around. "A little bit different guys right now up front but I think they wanted to come out and have a good showing. After we started a little shaky, those guys evened out and I thought they played a really solid half."
The line performed well enough that no changes are expected before the third preseason game Saturday at Tennessee. Louis stepped up and that means veteran center Chris Spencer likely remains a reserve. It was going to take more for Webb to be yanked out of the lineup.
"Both of those tackles (Webb and rookie Gabe Carimi) are young," Cutler said. "They're in different positions than they were last year, but they're coming along. I think if we would've had some OTA's and everything, we'd be a little farther along. With the amount of practices they've had on foreign sides, I don't think we could ask for much more out of those two."

"I had been keeping an eye out for a good deal on some form of mounted wall art or canvas. Anywhere you look, they are a bit expensive. So when Shutterfly had a sale, plus another good percentage off with a promo code, I decided to order from them. It was a tough decision for me as far as mounted wall art or canvas. I wanted a large 20x30 portrait from our professional wedding photography to hang above our bed. I decided on the mounted wall art considering the look/decor of our bedroom. I was nervous to receive a larger package of something that I felt could be so easily damaged. To my surprise, I was thoroughly please. The art was very carefully packaged and was safely delivered. The photograph was excellent quality and mounted nicely. Considering again, it was taken by a professional photographer, I assumed the size of the photo would turn out well. As far as the art mount itself, the backing is nice, it's a light foam, so it isn't too heavy on the wall, and was just the look I was going for. Overall very pleased."
"I took a chance ordering the Mounted Wall Art since I wasn't exactly sure what it was! I was going to order canvases, but the mounted wall art was less expensive and the sample pictures looked like they would give a similar look. Thanks to Shutterfly's 50% off sale, I was able to order 5 pieces of wall mounted art at a reasonable price. They look awesome! I think they are a better look than the canvases would have been. I am extremely happy with them and definitely would recommend them."
"I am lucky enough to travel all through Europe and the Middle East for work and since I am a good photographer, have amassed a huge number of photos. I started buying Mounted Wall Art a few years back and now my 2 bedroom apartment is covered almost wall to wall. Every time I look at my Egyptian walls, my ecumenical religious wall, my ancient world wall, and my bedroom with scenes of the sea from all over, I am transported back to those places. A combination of my Canon zoom lens and the 16 X 20 enlargements (my favorite size) sees things even I couldn't when I took the picture. I never, ever get tired of looking at them -- and the price, with sales and usually free shipping, is definitely right."
"I purchased this as a gift for my wife. The picture from our anniversary trip to St. Thomas U.S.V.I. was beautifully done. As always Shutterfly provided a high quality product with fast shipping and quality packaging. She Loved It!"
"The picture printed with amazing color! It is a wedding picture, and it looks even better than I could've imagined. The only downside is that you can't position the wording where you want it, it's already pre-set, it would've looked even bett if I could've moved the wording down a half an inch. I'll definitely order more mounted wall art though!"
Showcase your favorite photos with Mounted Wall Art. The frameless design of Shutterfly Mounted Wall Art gives your photos a clean, modern look. Choose from stylish backgrounds and layouts for one or more photos. Your photos are displayed in full color, black and white or sepia tones—it's up to you. Mounted Wall Art comes in nine different sizes, so there's one to fit any space in your home. For more modern wall art options, check out our Canvas Prints.

The Carolina Hurricanes have signed defenseman Jay Harrison to a three-year contract extension and signed former first-round draft pick Zach Boychuk to a one-year deal. The team announced the signings Tuesday. Harrison will make $1.5 million per season beginning in 2013-14. He is scheduled to make $750,000 this season. The 29-year-old Harrison led Carolina's defensemen with nine goals and blocked 132 shots. He is beginning his fourth season with the club. The 22-year-old Boychuk will make $625,000 at the NHL level or $105,000 if he is sent to the minor leagues. Carolina's No. 1 pick in 2008 split last season between the Hurricanes and their AHL affiliate in Charlotte and had two assists in 16 games with the NHL club last season.

Bow taxpayers group offers alternative to safety complex
But the group said other towns have built public safety centers for $3 to 5 million less than Bow's proposal, and it's a matter of want rather than need, said Gould.
"The community as a whole has to decide what it wants to do," he said. "The bond will alleviate the fire station issues and bring the fire and community building up to code."
"Last year, even without an organized opposition, the bond issue failed. There is obviously some support in town for the project, but we think that if Bow taxpayers are informed of the facts there will not be enough support to approve the proposal," he said.

Yates Attamey0wen, Wickersham & Erickson ABSTRACT: An apparatus adapted to be worn by persons working in an electrostatic field for eliminating the discomfort and ill effects of discharges of electrical energy through the person. It comprises one or more bands in the form of wearable garters or a belt, each having a flexible conductive element that will conform to the body shape and thus lie close to the skin so that electrical discharges will occur a relatively large body area rather than at a small area or point contact thereon.
The garters and belt are each connected by flexible leads to conductor devices for contacting grounded structures, such as foot sandals, gloves or bonding devices at the ends of the leads.

INVENTOR. FREDERICK D. BURKE ATTORNEYS PATENTED m2? m 3596,1134
SHEET 2 [1F 2 INVENTOR. FREDERICK D. BURKE BY 1 ATTORNEYS APPARATUS FOR DISCHARGING ELECTROSTATIC ENERGY This invention relates to apparatus for protection against discharges of electric energy for persons working in an electrostatic field.
A lineman working near active high voltage lines such as on towers supporting such lines, is in an electrostatic field and there is a capacitance current flow from the lines to his body. The magnitude of this current is a function of the area which his body presents to the transmission line, the area which the line presents to his body, and the line to ground voltage.
The magnitude of this current is represented by: i,=l:', 21rfc, where E is the line'voltage, f is its frequency, and c, is the line to the body capacitance. This capacitance is a function of the conductor configuration, e.g. whether single or bundled, and the distance and orientation of the body with respect to the line and its magnitude may be of the order of 2 to 8 picofarads. With the linemans body in contact with a grounded surface, this represents a steady state current of about I milliampere, which is just about at the lowest level of perception. If, however, the man breaks contact with the grounded surface the circuit model assumes a new configuration with a body to ground capacitance 0, in addition to a line to body capacitance, q. The body to ground capacitance c,, when 2 or 3 feet from a tower leg, is of the order of 250 picofarads. The energy stored is found by the formula P= 015, or about 8XlO Joules at 8 kv., a reasonable voltage for a man located 3 feet from the tower and I2 feet from the line.
During the time the man is drawing an are from the grounded surface the energy in the arc represents the discharge of the body to ground capacitor This discharge occurs as the voltage on the body builds up to the level that will cause a discharge across the existing gap. Once the discharge is initiated the impedance of the discharge circuit is very small. If, for example, the impedance of the discharge circuit were 80,000 ohms, instantaneous currents of about I00 milliamperes or greater may occur for microsecond pulses. With smaller discharge impedances the current pulses could be greater for correspondingly shorter durations.
A capacitance discharge may occur between any two conductive or semiconductive forms in the electrostatic field. Around a high voltage link a discharge may occur between a steel sling on a handline and the tower, an isolated piece of staging and an isolated sling, or from any of these objects to a mans body. If such current pulses reach a single point on the skin they are very uncomfortable, although there is presently no evidence that there is a hazard to heart action. In addition to the discomfort, such discharges can cause a dangerous reflex reaction on the part of a lineman or greatly impair his efficiency while he is working high above the ground. However, it has been found that no sensation of discomfort occurs when the discharging current is properly dispersed over a large area of the Iiner'nans skin.
Prior to the present invention an attempt was made to solve the problem of dispersing the aforesaid discharge pulses by providing linemen with suits, operating on the principle of the Faraday cage and using fiberglass material with conductive yarn. These suits were electrically satisfactory in some instances but proved to be much too heavy, uncomfortable and somewhat cumbersome. Other protective suits were made of handwoven cotton cloth with a carbon yarn interwoven at half-inch intervals, and crocheted from a combination of cotton thread and cotton yarn. While these products were also electrically satisfactory, they did not overcome the problem of wearability. Moreover, they lacked durability, were subject to snags and were extremely expensive.
A general object of the present invention is to provide a wearable apparatus for protecting a person against electrostatic discharges that overcomes the aforesaid problems.
Another object of my invention is to provide such a protective apparatus that will substantially reduce the discomfort of 0 person which is light, easy to put on and take off, does not encumber the wearer in any manner when he is working, and that is durable even after long periods of use and not subject to tearing or snagging.
Another object of my invention is to provide an apparatus for protecting against electrical discharges that is particularly well adapted for ease and economy of manufacture.
Still another object of my invention is to provide a protective apparatus for use in electrostatic fields that is safe and reliable.
In broad terms, my apparatus utilizes a unique garter or band having as one of its components a flexible, conductive material which will conform to the surface contour of the body portion to which it is attached, and will disperse the discharge of electricity thereto over a considerable area rather than at a point contact. Moreover, a lead from the garter to grounded structure is connected to the garter at a point remote from the portion of conductive material which actually contacts the wearer's skin thereby creating an impedance path which dissipates the charge at the wearers skin surface. The band may also be in the form of a belt that may fit around the linemans waist, and a lineman may wear one or two such garters and a waistband or belt at the same time. In conjunction with these bands or garters my apparatus also preferably includes footwear such as sandals that fit over the linemans boots, and gloves worn on the lineman's hands. Both of the latter components are connected each to a garter or belt by flexible leads, and other lead members with magnetic ends or clamp ends may be connected from a belt, band or garter to a conductive structure adjacent the lineman 5 working area.
Other objects, advantages and features of my invention will become apparent from the following detailed description which is presented in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which;
FIG. 1 is a view in perspective of a protective apparatus embodying the principles of the present invention as it appears when worn by a person working in an electrostatic field;

FIG. 6 is a plan view showing a glove forming another component of the protective apparatus of FIG. I; and
FIG. 7 is a view in section taken along the line 7-7 of FIG. 6.
Referring to the drawing, FIG. I shows a protective apparatus according to the principles of my invention as it appears when worn by a lineman or some other person required to work in an electrostatic field. Generally the apparatus includes a pair of garters 10, each of which may be conveniently worn on the lineman 5 leg, preferably below his knee. The garters are attached by means of suitable hook members 12 at their ends so that they fit snug and lie flat against the wearers skin. On the linemans boots 14 are a pair of removable sandals 16 having soles 18 of some suitable conductive material within which is embedded a suitable terminal member 20.,The latter forms a connection point for a conductive lead which extends from the sandal soles to a garter 10.
The unique construction of my leg bonding garter 10 may be best explained by reference to FIGS. 2-3. As shown, it comprises a series of elongated layers of flexible material that are held together by a pair of snap fasteners 24. In making the garter or the waistband a strip 26 of conductive material such as copper shielding braid is laid on a piece of cloth 28 which has been cut to a predetermined size. This cloth piece is made of a rubberized material that is also electrically conductive. It is longer than and also wider than twice the width of the copper braid. With the braid'strip located along one side of the cloth the fasteners are installed throughthe strip and the cloth piece so that their female ends are on the opposite side of the cloth piece from the braid strip. Now, a flexible strip 30 of insulation material, such as varnished cambric is laid on top of the shielding braid and the cloth piece is folded over on top of the insulation material. The cloth piece is now closed as by stitching 32 around its other three sides. On the side of the cloth cover from which the female ends of the fasteners extend, the hook members 12 are attached, one of which may be connected by an elastic strap 34. Thus, in its finished form the garter or the waistband 100, having the same construction on a larger scale, provides a means for dispersing the flow of current applied to a fastener over a relatively wide skin contacting area, that is, discharging pulse of current flowing through a bonding lead 36 to the garter passes through one of its fasteners 24 to the copper braid strip 26, and thence through the rubberized but conductive cloth on the uninsulated side of the garter to the wearer's skin.
The action of the garter in causing the current to flow around the insulation strip and dispersing the current over a relatively wide area, eliminates any uncomfortable sensation or shock to the wearer so that his work can proceed without interruption.
In essence, the garter 10 is constructed so that the metallic or low impedance conductive member, the conductive strip 26, is separated by a relatively long path from the high impedance member, the cover side which engages the wearers skin. This forms an impedance match transformer between the skin (having an impedance similar to the rubberized cloth of the cover) and the metallic elements of impedance similar to the grounded tower. The aforesaid relatively long path is obtained in my garter construction by causing the current to travel. from the front skin engaging surface and around the edge to the back of the garter where the lead connectors project therefrom. The insulating strip 30 prevents the current from going directly from thefront to the back surface (a relatively short distance of approximately 6 V4 of an inch), a situation if allowed to occur would cause uncomfortable hot spots on the wearer's skin. 1
As'an additional part of my protective apparatus a larger band or belt 10a which is similar in all respects except size to the garters 10 is worn around the waist of the lineman. Connected to this waistband are one or more flexible leads 36 which are provided at their ends with a suitable bonding member 38. This bonding member may be a magnet or any desired form of clip that will enable the lead to be electrically connected to a grounding structure while the lineman is workmg.
As shown in detail in FIGS. 4 and 5, the sandals l6 according to my invention, are constructed so that the discharge of electrical energy will be well dissipated regardless of which portion of the footwear comes within close proximity to or touches grounded structure.
In the embodiment shown, the sandal sole 16 has a uniform thickness and is made of a flexible, conductive material with good wearing qualities. A rubberlike composition material containing embedded particles of graphite or some other conductive material is one example of such sole material. Attached to the top of the sole is an open cover 40 of leather or some other nonconductive material such as a flexible plastic having a central portion which is attached to the upper side of the sole as by stitching around its edges. Integral strap portions extend from the central cover portion for holding the sandal on a boot or shoe. The lead 22 from the garter 10 extends through the cover 40 and into the conductive sole 18 where its end is preferably attached to and anchored by the rivetlike terminal 20. The latter terminal is also connected to a striplike conductor 42 that extends longitudinally substantially along the length of the sole between its upper surface and the cover.
This latter conductor may be a flexible strip of braided metal similar to the conductive strip material 26 of the garter I0 and I it is held in place by the sole I6 and the cover member 40. What the conductor strip does is to provide a low resistance current path to the lead terminal 20 from any point of external discharge along the edge of the sandal thereby reducing the voltage gradient along the length of the sandal or on whatever footwear it is installed. Although the sole material 16 is conductive, it has a relatively high resistance, so that a substantial voltage gradient normally would occur (without the conductor strip 42 present) between the lead terminal 20 at the heel end of the sandal and the toe of the sandal. Heretofore, this gradient caused uncomfortable secondary discharges to occur between the wearer's foot and the conductive footwear. However, with the sandal 16, this problem is now eliminated since a contact of the sandal sole at any point provides a short path to the conductive strip.
Another component of my apparatus is a pair of unique gloves 44 which are worn by the lineman and are connected by a flexible lead 46 to either a garter 10 or his waistband 10a. As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 my gloves 44 may have the conventional shape and external construction, preferably comprising both palm and gauntlet outer portions 48 and 50 of some flexible nonconductive material such as leather or the like. However, on the inside of these outer portions a conductive lining 52 is provided. This inner lining may be a silver coated fabric material such as nylon which I have found to be particularly effective in dispersing electrostatic currents.
The usual method for fabricating gloves is to cut the parts with a die and sew them together. To install the fabric lining, I trace an outline of the die which includes a slight margin, bond the piece of leather to a sheet of the silver coated nylon cloth and, after it has dried, I then die cut the lamination to give an integral unit. However, in some instances I may prefer the conductive lining to be a thin layer of silver which is applied directly to the inside surface of the outer glove portions. This layer may be extremely thin (i.e. less than one-thousandth of an inch) and it may be applied while suspended in a thermal setting binder that can be rolled onto the nonconductive glove material.
In order to provide bonding so that all parts of the conductive liner are electrically connected to all other parts, an extra half-inch tab 54 may be left at the lower side of the cuff or gauntlet pieces and when the finished gloves are assembled, this tab overlaps the lining which covers the thumb, palm and back of the hand, thereby making good contact between all the conductive lining surfaces of the gloves.
Near the edge of the glove cuff 50 or at some other convenient location, a terminal fastener 56 is provided that makes a contact with the inner conductive lining 52 and is connected to the lead 46 which preferably extends up the wearer's arm and is attached to his belt band 10a. Although a high potential discharge may pass through the outer glove material, the inner liner serves as a large contact area and when connected to the waistband 10a it further dissipates the charge.
With all of the aforesaid apparatus properly in place the wearer is completely protected, and whenever his body contacts a piece of structure that is electrically-charged due to being in the electrostatic field, the current will flow through any of his external contacts on his sandals 16 or his gloves 44 or on the various bonding leads to the garters 10 or waistband 10a which disperse the electrical charge over a relatively wide body area, thereby eliminating any discomfort or danger to the wearer.
To those skilled in the art to which this invention relates, many changes in construction and widely differing embodiments and applications of the invention will suggest themselves without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. The disclosures and the description herein are purely illustrative and are not intended to be in any sense limiting.

Good eatery joint for dinner in port blair...after shopping went for dinner there.
Ordered for tiger prawns & fish which was really good in taste. Chicken curry was fine but didn't like the taste too much..but altogether a fine place to try..
The restaurant is situated near the Cellular jail and therefore attracted by tourists. The service is too slow and the food is average and also expensive.
We went looking for quality sea food and got exactly what we ordered for. Amazing food, decent place to sit - simple yet comfy. Next to the sea and you get a choice of sea food including lobsters and crabs to choose from. We chose fish :) Quick preparation, efficient service and some delightful moments. Go for it if you...
We ate here twice on our recent visit to the Andaman Islands, once for lunch and once for dinner. We had tiger prawns for lunch in a chilli garlic sauce and paneer butter masala. Both dishes were excellent. In the evening they were barbequing tandoori chicken when we arrived which looked great so we chose this with some nan bread,...
The location looks basic but has great food, and not only seafood. The staff is nice and there is a nice view from the rooftop on the bay.
Very good value for money.
Located near the sea.. Its a good place to eat, probably the best in Port Blair. You get to choose your seafood live and they prepare it for you. Be prepared to shell out 1000-1500 for two depending on the seafood you choose.
Overall a quality restaurant with quality taste ,ambience and staff.
The best restaurant I ever tasted outside my hometown. I would go every single day to this restaurant whenever I visit Port Blair in future. Indian Kebabs are delicious but size is a bit small. Chinese dishes are the best. If you are a fish lover, then this place is a heaven for you as there are a lot of...
Went to this place after hearing good things about the food!
Not at all disappointing on that front. Ordered fresh Pomfret fish and it was awesomely cooked.
They have everything displayed in a glass box out side, crabs, fish, lobsters.
You just have to ask them which one you need and be rest assured, you will like it.
The down-side...
Awesome restaurant. Every cuisine was equally delicious. We tried mughlai, chinese. Definitely a must go to place if you're in Port Blair.
this was our place to go for a cold beer an great food the staff are very happy an love a chat an d they know how to open a beer with a band I would recommend the chicken lollypop

We love our tees and hoodies so much we could talk about them all day, but that'd be a bit weird. So we'll just say that we're immensely proud of the quality of all our garments and the super futuristic technology that creates our unique t-shirts and hoodie prints. Our t-shirts are long lasting, individual and extremely useful for abiding by public decency laws.
We advise you cold wash your garments and hang them out to dry. It'll keep them super soft, looking their best and it's even good for the environment.
Slim fit, order a size up if you'd like it less fitting. If you like your hoodies baggy, go two sizes up.
Inspired by a famous scene from the film "Dr.Strangelove or how I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb" (probably the longer movie title ever) in a mashup with a famous doctor.

The hardest part about loving someone is that when they're packing their boxes, you're forced to pack your own. We hate when people change our plans. When life is taken from our control. When walking away is all there's left to do.
But sometimes people turn around. Sometimes love comes back, and this time you'll hold them tighter. You'll listen longer. You'll love them better. Love is many things. It's flawed in many forms. But love is when they forgive who you were in order to love who you are.

Visual Studio from Microsoft Usable on Linux
Thanks to Mainsoft, Linux software developers will be able to use from now on Microsoft's Visual Studio to develop Web applications for Linux. Visual MainWin for J2EE Developer Edition, or Grasshopper, is a free .NET plug-in, and is the result of a two-year collaboration with the Mono development community (the open-source alternative to.NET platform).
Golden's Rules: Mixing Linux and Windows
If you listen to the debate between Microsoft advocates and open source zealots, you might easily conclude that it's an all-or-nothing proposition. For them, it's one or the other. While the partisan participants in the discussion declaim their "truths," most of the rest of us have to exist in the real IT world. In our world, nobody runs an all one-thing shop. In fact, most of us run an all-everything shop! So, to us, the question of whether Windows and open source can coexist is critical, and the tone of the debate is pretty discouraging.
Vienna dumps Microsoft, moves to Linux
Vienna City council plans to dump Windows 2000 and move to a new Linux distribution on the desktop. The council's Windows 2000 licence runs out in 2010 and it is apparently in the process of installing its own Linux distribution on its desktops.

You can get an Archiver license for as many users as you want, but minimum 20. The amount of Archiver users does not have to be equal to the amount of Zarafa users, but it must be less. So if you have a Zarafa license for 100 users, you can get an Archiver license for anywhere between 20 and 100 users (in multiples of 5).

Raising two kids isn't a joke. I have metaphorically broken my back just to get my kids in school with a low-paying job. There are upsides to being a single parent, but if the downsides get to you first, you might fear being one. Here are a few things I learned on the way to becoming a good and successful single mother.
1. Pay Attention To Yourself
I had a eating problem when I first learned that my body carried Jacques right after their father left me. This eating problem worsened following the news. I didn't eat too much. At most days, I would never get enough sleep. I was so worried about the kind of future I could give them on my own. It is essential to pay attention to yourself. It is truly a disaster to manage one's self, but it is the best way to manage any situation effectively.
2. Find People Who Could Help You.
A neighbourhood without an old or middle-aged couple is not a normal neighbourhood. I had Aunt Tessa for my own advisor when I bore Jacques to the world. Aunt Tessa told me that taking care of kids is more than just love and work. It means sharing time together whenever possible and advising them on their behaviour. Then, I met Sarah, a new neighbour who was also a single mother raising a kid my Jacques' age during that time. Being with them helped me because it felt that I wasn't alone with my predicament and I had people to help me.
3. Don't Envy Entire Families
At one point, I couldn't help yearning for help from the father of my children. It was difficult to manage two kids on my own. I often saw couples walking together, their child in a crib bashful with the way things are going. But for me, I was to endure all of it alone. However, I don't envy them anymore. Upon realisation, handling two kids isn't too bad because I could decide what to do with them by myself without arguing with anybody else. Crucial home decisions are easier to manage too.

Georgetown will play at Virginia Tech on Sunday in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.
Nov. 5, 2012
WASHINGTON - When the selection show for the NCAA Division I Women's Soccer Tournament started on Monday afternoon, there was a bit of a sense of apprehension among the players in the office of Georgetown Head Coach Dave Nolan. That tense feeling went away quickly, however, as the Hoyas found out they had been selected to the field of 32 teams and will play at Virginia Tech on Sunday, Nov. 11 at 5 p.m. in Blacksburg, Va.
Last year, Georgetown had gone into the selection show feeling pretty good about the chance to be invited, but were left out of the field. This year, the Hoyas left little doubt about whether they should be in the NCAA Tournament, posting a 14-2-2 record in the regular season and winning the BIG EAST National Division en route to an appearance in the BIG EAST Tournament Championship game.
"We're very excited to be in the tournament," Nolan said. "There was obviously a sense of deflation in this room last year on this day when we didn't get a bid. So first and foremost, we're happy to be in. They're a very good team.. It's going to be a difficult game. They're an unknown to us and we're an unknown to them."
The Hoyas enter the NCAA Tournament with a 15-3-3 overall record after advancing to the championship game of the BIG EAST Tournament, where they lost to Marquette, 1-0, on Sunday. GU won the BIG EAST National Division title, posting an 8-1-1 record in league play.
This is Georgetown's third appearance in the NCAA Tournament, where they have a 2-2-1 record. The team made its first appearance in 2007, falling to William & Mary, 2-1, in the first round. In 2010, the Blue & Gray advanced to the Elite Eight after wins over Siena (5-1), Maryland (1-1 tie, a win in penalty kicks) and Minnesota (1-0). The run ended with a 2-0 loss to Ohio State.
Georgetown is led by a balanced attack on offense and defense, with the Hoyas ranked No. 23 in the country in scoring offense (2.19 goals per game) and No 15 in the country in goals-against average (0.59).
The Hoyas are led by BIG EAST Offensive Player of the Year Daphne Corboz (Green Brook, N.J./Watchung Hills), who has a team-best and school record 41 points. Corboz, who was also an All-BIG EAST First Team selection, has scored a school record 17 goals and has seven assists.
She is joined by All-BIG EAST Second Team selection junior forward Kaitlin Brenn (Branchburg, N.J./Somerville), who is second on the team in scoring with 27 points (nine goals, nine assists).
Redshirt freshman goalkeeper Emma Newins (Glen Allen, Va./Deep Run), an All-BIG EAST Rookie and All-BIG EAST Second Team selection, has recorded a school-best 12 shutouts this season and has a 0.58 goals-against average.
The Hoya backline, which limited BIG EAST opponents to only two goals in 10 league games, has been led by junior Emily Menges (Garden City, N.Y./Garden City), an All-BIG EAST First Team selection.

- Lithium battery shipping regulations
U.S. Postal Service acceptance of international lithium battery shipments
The Postal Service is now allowing specific quantities of lithium batteries — when installed in the equipment they are intended to operate — to be sent to many international destinations, including Army Post Office (APO), Fleet Post Office (FPO) and Diplomatic Post Office (DPO) locations when permitted by the destination or host country.
The postal operators of Germany and Italy are not accepting packages containing lithium metal or lithium-ion batteries to German or Italian addresses. Postal employees will decline electronic items containing lithium batteries to addresses in those two countries. This does not apply to shipments to and from German or Italian APO, FPO or DPO locations.
Items that can be shipped include: cameras, video cameras, mobile/smart phones, Bluetooth headsets, laptop computers, shavers, portable DVD players, tablets, two-way radios, GPS devices and most other small electronic devices requiring lithium batteries. Items that can't be shipped include lithium batteries not installed in the equipment they are intended to operate. In addition, when installed, they may not exceed the quantity or limits defined in the IMM or DMM.
Domestic shipments of packages containing lithium batteries, and electronic devices containing lithium batteries aren't affected.
Currently, U.S. customers aren't permitted to take international and APO, FPO, DPO mail containing lithium batteries to Village Post Offices, contract postal units, commercial mail receiving agents or approved USPS shippers. For more information, click pe.usps.com.
