Agencies reset after missing the mark on cybersecurity goals
Despite steps forward, agencies fell short of their 2014 targets for cybersecurity. The Obama administration is pushing chief information officers to focus on priorities of continuous monitoring, phishing and malware, and authorization processes for 2015, according to the newly released cross-agency priority goals on Performance.gov.

Report: Chinese hackers hit OPM networks
Chinese hackers broke into OPM computer networks earlier this year with the intention of accessing the files of tens of thousands of federal employees who had applied for top-secret security clearances, according to a media report. OPM tells Federal News Radio, "neither OPM nor US-CERT have identified any loss of personally identifiable information."

Rep. Donald Payne, Jr. (D-NJ)
For the Department of Homeland Security, making its 22 components' radio systems interoperable with one another has been an objective since the department was created in 2003. But today, DHS still can't account for all of its communications assets -- let alone get them to talk to each other. Last night, the House passed legislation designed to get things moving. Rep. Donald Payne (D-NJ) is the ranking member of the House Subcommittee on Emergency Preparedness and the prime sponsor of the DHS Interoperable Communications Act. He explained the details of the bill on In Depth with Francis Rose.

GSA, DHS about ready to turn the spigot on for a new set of cyber tools
The General Services Administration and the Homeland Security Department are putting the final touches on the next set of contracts that will truly kickstart the federal move toward dynamic cybersecurity protections of agency networks and computers. The two agencies will release six task orders under the $6 billion CDM program in the coming year to implement tools and services across more than 40 agencies.

Jeff Neal, Senior Vice President, ICF International
The Homeland Security Department fires more of its employees than any other agency. Last year DHS dropped almost 1 percent of its workforce. The Federal Times reports the government-wide average is about half that. Jeff Neal is senior vice president of ICF International and former Chief Human Capital Officer at the Department of Homeland Security. He tells In Depth with Francis Rose those numbers might sound low, but they're actually pretty normal for the federal government. Read Neal's related column.

Beginning next week, an area village's website should have a new look.
Cridersville Village Operator Jarid Kohlrieser said the new website for the village of Cridersville will be up and running by Aug. 30 — if not before.

For years a Wapakoneta woman served her community through her medical knowledge, sometimes working and being on call for 24 hours straight.
Ruth Baeumel, who began working as an emergency medical technician (EMT) in Wapakoneta 33 years ago, went on her last call this weekend. She decided it was time to retire.
Local data backs what national scientists declared — July was one of the hottest months ever on record.
Federal scientists say July was the hottest month ever recorded in the contiguous United States, breaking a record set during the Dust Bowl years of the 1930s. The average temperature for July was 77.6 degrees, breaking a mark set in July 1936 by 0.2 degrees, according to records kept by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
One local student is enjoying his summer poolside — and is not ready for the season to end.
Wapakoneta High School senior Brad Severt, who has spent his summer lifeguarding at the Wapakoneta WaterPark, said he is going to miss it this fall when he goes back to school.
"It just looked like fun," Severt said of why he decided to lifeguard. "I live just across the street and I have friends that do it."
So Severt began his training earlier this year, and enjoys seeing the people everyday.

Wapakoneta City Council Utility Committee Chair Steve Walter, along with members of the committee and city officials, agreed to ask for legislation to be prepared to authorize Wapakoneta Safety-Service Director Bill Rains to negotiate and execute a contract with Solar Planet.
A woman's concern over her neighbor led Wapakoneta Police to discover several dead dogs in a Logan Street home Wednesday afternoon.
The woman called police at 4:35 p.m. Wednesday after having not seen her 55-year-old female neighbor outside in a couple months.
Wapakoneta Police Clerk Denise Kohler said the woman reported seeing swarms of flies around the front door and a foul odor coming from the home at 907 Logan St.

"When a man who is honestly mistaken hears the truth, he will either quit being mistaken, or cease to be honest."******"It is better to speak the truth that hurts and then heals, than falsehood that comforts and then kills."
I do think it's a shame though, my Uncle has a second home in Cornwall and when you go there the whole area is empty and so quiet because everyone who owns the properties aren't there. Disaster for the local community as services are cut (buses, local shops etc) as there aren't enough people there to serve.
Should council properties worth more than the average UK property be forceably sold?
Yes definitely. Why house the poor in better accomodation than most of the country.
So some gather homes to lie empty as others around are homeless.
Does not say much for the multi home owners does it?
"When a man who is honestly mistaken hears the truth, he will either quit being mistaken, or cease to be honest."******"It is better to speak the truth that hurts and then heals, than falsehood that comforts and then kills."
The councils have had a reduction in the amount of money which they can use to give people help with their council tax...they will have to raise money from other sources or reduce the amount of benifit people get....
One option is to alter the council tax system to collect more from empty properties and presumably those which are only partly used is under consideration...(Currently it seems council have a discretion on the amount of rebate they give to holiday homes...up to 50%)....Bearing in mind the financial dificulties councils are having, it could well be holiday homes discount are removed .....This may cause those who are rich enough to afford two houses currently, to reconsidered their position
Capitalist: A man who has gained an unhealthy love of his money - the root of all evil according to the Bible.
Social-ist: A man who has gained an unhealthy love of other peoples money - but by then, the Bible has no effect on his conscience any more
You only have power over a man for as long as you don't take everything away from him. But when you've robbed a man of everything, he is no longer in your power, he's free again. - (Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn)
Property, allowed to "stand" 46 weeks of the year...is not necessarily a good future investment. Many discover that the unheated cottage-in-the-country...deteriorates very rapidly, attracts damp, and all sorts of "nasties", including vermin and vandalism, in some cases. On the other hand....renting out (be it as your own Landlord, or via the local Council) carries risks. The type of tenant you have: vandalism: rent collection: ruined furniture, fixtures and fittings, etc. It is certainly NOT all "profit" (redecoration'/repairs etc).

We decided to send in crotch pics because that is what gets my boyfriend off the most. He must have over 1000 pics of my crotch on his computer just like the ones in this email. So we read in the blog a day or two ago about a couple who said they were glad to see they weren't the only freaks out there. We agree big time! It was great finding the site and nice to see fellow freaks :D ...

HNP Country Case Studies
Building on a previous pilot, the project created a semiautonomous RWSS Fund Development Board to finance infrastructure. Support from nongovernmental organizations helped communities implement sustainable schemes. There was apparently no formal or informal collaboration between the scheme and the health sector—either in Nepal or within the World Bank. The RWSS project built capacity in rural villages to maintain water supply and sanitation investments, provided funds for infrastructure that was cofinanced by communities, and extended hygiene education to improve health outcomes. Good sanitation practices were reinforced through community grants for latrines sufficient to cover 25 percent of the total beneficiary population at a rate of 750 rupees per household. The community then on-lent this to individual households at an agreed rate of interest for 6 to 12 months.
Between 2000 and 2002, the share of residents in project areas who used tap stands rose from 18 to 91 percent, and the share using a latrine rose from 24 to 64 percent.a The share of respondents (mostly women) who reported washing their hands after defecation rose from 65 to 88 percent, and the percent washing hands before cooking from 58 to 81 percent. However, there were fewer behavioral improvements in the most remote and poorer areas of western and far-western Nepal, and the impact of better hygiene on health status could not be confirmed except by a reduction in self-reported water-related diseases.
Source: IEG forthcoming.a. The project was implemented in four "batches" at different times. These results are from Batch III. Similar results were observed for Batch IV.

So... Jude emailed me back today.
I had emailed him a few days ago, trying not to lose contact. It'd been a long time since we'd communicated at all, and I'd been thinking of him. The bracelet he made for me elevenish months ago finally fell off, reminding me that I really had to write to him and not just think about it.
Apparently he was more serious than I had thought about the whole transgender thing. He had wanted to start college introducing himself as Jenna, he said. The same thing I did, using the transition to a new place and new people as an opportunity to start with a new presentation of me. He said he hadn't done it, though, because he knows he still looks like a guy.
See, I should be calling her she, but I can't take her seriously as a girl. I feel bad about it but I can't. She's not feminine at all. Picture a young hippie man - that's Jude. Sure, I know, identity and presentation and expression and all that aren't necessarily related, but... it's harder, in person. Maybe she is a woman, but she's a woman who resembles a man in every way, and it'll be hard for me to respect her womanhood because of that.
She wants me to get Facebook so we can keep in touch better. Jenna - under the name Jenna - won't have many Facebook friends, and I wouldn't have to have any other than her. There are some other people I might like to keep in touch with that way too. I'd do it. But still, it's Facebook, the very thing I've so long been irrationally proud of not having.
I got as far in the Facebook signup process as 'Please select either Male or Female.' Usually I'm comfortable putting 'Female' in boxes marked 'Sex' - 'Gender' is a slightly different matter, but I'm okay with being distaff. But I don't want that showing up as one of my defining attributes where anyone could read it - I don't even know, does sex show on your Facebook page? Is there a way to hide it?
I'm still willing to get Facebook for a few select people (Jenna and Lily and maybe a couple of others, but not people I see regularly or with whom I am only casually acquainted), but I do need to figure out this sex thing.
Maybe Jenna and I could see each other over spring break - we should both be in town for at least part of it. Assuming she goes home to her family - I don't know if she will, she's not very close to her family. We haven't seen each other since graduation. Maybe we can do girl things like wear makeup and giggle. See, I can't picture her giggling - she's too man to giggle. I can picture her wearing makeup, but in that picture she's a guy wearing makeup. Maybe we can sleep together - I don't know why, but I've often fantasized (not without a little fear mixed with the desire) of sharing a bed with Jude. Lying against him, feeling his heartbeat.
I just want to see him, and for him to be my Jude.
I don't even know.
You edit your personal info or security settings. Then you select you gender/sex/etc, and next to that it shows who can see it. Select "only me" or the equivalent, save the changes, and you're set.
"It's a helluva start, knowing what makes you happy."
--Lucille Ball
Okay... I've done it.
I am now a reluctant member of Facebook.
Eh. It's not worth being proud of not doing something, anyway.
Eurgh, now it's referring to me with third-person pronouns even though I clicked against showing my sex. I can switch between 'he' and 'she,' but bleh. Can't I be sexless on the incorporeal internets? I manage it surprisingly well in reality, where I actually have a body....
I find facebook is, if nothing else, a handy sort of address book, when people's emails/phone numbers/residences seem to change every month.
In regards to your friend. Perhaps she isn't the sort of girl who wears make-up. There are plenty of girls out there who dont' fit the common descriptions of what girls ought to be like, to like doing, to wear, etc. and yet they have no doubt that they are still girls. There's always a really dangerous pressure on trans* people, especially those first coming out, to set aside their own likes and dislikes and personality in order to fit in to some sort of idealized "real girl"or "real boy" stareotype in order to prove themselves and be taken seriously by the rest of the world. It's especially damaging in meddical institutions, obviously, but I'm sure it's just as frustrating and difficult in social situation as well. Obviously your friend came out to you because she feels that you're someone who she can rely on to be understanding and excepting, and I'd suggest trying to analyse and work through any issues you've got around seeing her as a girl before you see her in person. The fact that she's focusing on that she "still looks like a boy" (which is totally not uncommon) means that she might be more conscious of the fact that her physical appearance could interfere with her gender presentation and identity. You absolutely have the right to take whatever time you need to think about it and think about why you feel the way you do, I'm not in any way trying to imply any sort of 'you are bad and you should feel bad' thing. And as cliche as it is, she'll still be the same person you remember, just with the natural changes of a few months apart/starting college.
..oh God, sorry if this comment came off super-preachy or whatever. obvs I have no idea of your friend's feelings --it's totally possible she is the kind of girl who wears makeup, idk-- and I'm probbly telling you things you already know off by heart.

Financial Management Software for Billing and CollectionhCentive's WebInsure Financial Management provides the next generation financial management system, empowering you and your members with a technology solution to simplify healthcare.
WebInsure Financial Management addresses billing and collection challenges faced by the health insurance industry.
With the advent of web-driven, exchange-based enrollment, the health insurance industry must modernize operational processes and move member-facing processes toward a retail-centric business model. In this model, your product offerings will be why members enroll, but how you manage that relationship will be key to retaining members.
Many health plans have entrenched billing systems that are functional but the processes are complex and result in confusion and poor member experience: multiple bills from different carriers, lack of automation, poor understanding of expected subsidies, inadequate delinquency and unfriendly payment processes.
hCentive's WebInsure Financial Management (WFM) allows you to simplify your processes, remove confusion and enhance member interactions. WebInsure Financial Management was developed by a team of industry and technology experts to specifically meet the financial management needs of health and dental plans and exchange entities. The system breaks down the complexities of financial management and provides transparency needed to create a full understanding of your premium revenue streams. So what does our solution offer?
- Comprehensive Financial Management: WebInsure Financial Management is designed with flexibility to handle all of your products and services in all your target markets. Do you have multiple partner and/or subsidiary carriers? It will produce a single consolidated bill for your members and track the expected revenue for each carrier. Do you have multiple billing systems for government, commercial or other lines of business? WebInsure Financial Management is your single solution for all your billing needs.
- Transparency into Revenue Streams: WebInsure Financial Management creates, distributes and tracks liabilities at a level of detail that is simply not available in any other billing system. Powerful, dashboard-based reporting keeps you informed by allowing data to be "sliced-and-diced" at multiple levels: groups, plans, products, LOBs, etc.
- Configuration to meet Business Needs: WebInsure Financial Management allows you to have control over the billing, collections, and payment processes. Set up and assign rules at various levels of your operational hierarchy and the system applies the business logic that you've built. When your business logic changes, update the date-driven rules and it will be processed appropriately.
- Automation of Operational processes: Organization/User-created business rules and reconciliation exceptions create "Work Items" in the work queues. The workflow-driven exception processing streamlines and simplifies operational activities. The queues, processes and rules are controlled directly by the organization to allow for processes and procedures that best meet their needs.
- Online Member Interaction with WebInsure eBill* (online bill presentment and payment portal): Initial binder and ongoing payments are collected online. WebInsure eBill provides portals for members, employers, carriers and brokers, simplifying and enhancing the online billing and payment experience. Members can set up automatic recurring payments, choose how they are notified of billing activity, or even handle the entire interaction on their mobile device.
*WebInsure eBill is also available as a stand-alone solution that interfaces with your current Billing system.

Joe Perry Kind Of Agrees With Gene Simmons That Rock Is Dead
Joe Perry can empathize with Gene Simmons about the problems facing rock music right now.
Joe Perry can empathize with Gene Simmons about the problems facing rock music right now.
Throughout the history of Aerosmith, vocalist Steven Tyler has often been the outspoken member of the group.
Joe Perry picks his most memorable moment from a career that has seen more than its share of them.
Joe Perry drops the bomb that he was recently in a studio with Paul McCartney on an unnamed project.
Joe Perry quit Aerosmith after a backstage fight in Cleveland.
The Aerosmith guitarist says he has about six songs ready, while admitting Aerosmith's future is up in the air.
Joe should know: He was out of Aerosmith for nearly five years before reconciling in 1984.
This guest-packed effort follows a career-spanning Winter retrospective set.
"I didn't agree," Perry says of bandmate Steven Tyler's book, "with a lot of the things he said."
Joe Perry's pretty excited about Aerosmith going on tour with Slash, and he's got the spray paint to prove it.
Now that Steven Tyler's memoir has been on the shelves for a couple of years, it looks like his Aerosmith bandmate Joe Perry is ready to follow suit with an autobiography of his own.

Rockingham County attorney suspension continues amid probe
Rockingham County Attorney Jim Reams, right, listens to his attorney, Michael Ramsdell, at Merrimack County Superior Court in Concord on Thursday. (DAVID LANE/UNION LEADER)
No specific allegations against Reams have been made public.
When asked by McNamara, she said she could not commit to a timetable as to when the investigation may wrap up.
Edwards said the investigation kicked off in mid-October, when her office received a call from a Rockingham County attorney alleging incidents of misconduct. Staff from the AG's office interviewed witnesses outside of Reams' office, and the U.S. Attorney's Office and Federal Bureau of Investigation were brought in on the investigation as well. The evidence was corroborated, and Foster decided to remove Reams from office, doing so on Nov. 6, in order to have "an unfettered investigation" when speaking to additional witnesses and examining documents.
Reams' attorney, Michael Ramsdell, on Thursday again argued against the attorney general's right to remove his client from office, while also requesting discovery information into the investigation against Reams.
Judge McNamara denied Ramsdell's request in a 12-page order emailed to both parties on Wednesday.
Ramsdell said that the judge's statement that Thursday's hearing was a preliminary injunction was wrong, and that he instead he was before the court asking for a reconsideration of the decision to suspend Reams from office last month. Ramsdell said that the only other case on record involving the removal of a county attorney in New Hampshire, Eames vs. Rudman in 1975, involved an attorney that was removed after authorities brought a misdemeanor charge against the attorney after completing a brief investigation. Ramsdell said that in this case Reams was suspended without notice, when he "wasn't even in the state," and that seven weeks later no charges have been brought against his client.
McNamara argued that the attorney general had "no authority to remove," suggesting that if the AG's office wanted to remove a county attorney for misconduct, it could bring forward a complaint and outline the reasons, a process that would include the discovery that Ramsdell was requesting, along with a trial.

Maryland governor: Same-sex marriage is about rights, dignity
BALTIMORE -- Legalizing same-sex marriage is about protecting human rights and dignity, Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley told a national gathering of about 400 gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender Catholics on March 16.
A little more than two weeks before, O'Malley, a Democrat and a Catholic, had signed into law a bill allowing same-sex marriage in the state of Maryland.
The governor received a standing ovation when he arrived to give a luncheon speech at the Seventh Annual Symposium on Catholicism and Homosexuality, and an even longer ovation at the end of his brief talk.
Speaking on "the dignity of every individual," he said, "I think at the end of the day, all of us want the same thing for our kids. We want our children to grow up in caring conditions and loving homes, protected equally under the law.

DiBartolo Restaurant - anyone been for food or drinks?
- ae1011 Aug 31, 2006 10:04 PM
Looking for feedback on the DiBartolo Restaurant beside the Coffee shop on Grand Ave in Oakland. I've walked by but haven't had the opportunity to dine. Did notice there is a bar in the back. You'd think the bar would be up front to show the business is busy. But what do I know.
I've been in for drinks only. I agree it's odd to have the bar in back, but I assume there was some rationale. The bar was crowded and it was tough for staff to get through to pick up drinks for dinners. The staff were friendly and competent. They have some unusual house cocktails that were quite good from the tastes I stole from a friend. The menu looked a little uninspired, but perhaps it was a tad safe since it was their opening menu. The Lakeshore/Grand corridor could really use a good restaurant and bar, so I hope the place turns out well in the long run.
If nothing else, I bet they serve great coffee :-)
I had a good but not especially memorable meal there a couple weeks after it opened. We had a glass of bubbly at the bar and were seated after a few minutes. Shared a margherita pizza to start, then I had lamb chops, nicely medium rare... the food was fine, nothing spectacular. Service was not polished but very friendly. For me it's walking distance so I'll be back, but unless it improves I think Mezze on Lakeshore is a better bet in the neighborhood at that price point... though Mezze's prices may be just a bit higher.
I had a meal there some time back that while not terrible, was definitely subpar for the price. Not sure how to do a link, but check out my previous post.
We were strolling on Grand Avenue this evening, after a movie at the Grand Lake, and happened upon Di Bartolo. It looked promising, but we were in the mood for a cocktail and didn't see any sign of a bar. I'm glad we poked our noses in to ask -- we were directed to the swanky little bar at the back, and enjoyed a couple of Hendricks martinis and some terrific marinated olives before moving to a table for dinner. I'm pretty much a martini traditionalist, but I noticed a concoction on the cocktail menu -- Hangar One Buddha's Hand vodka with a house-made ginger syrup and black pepper -- that may prompt a return visit.
For dinner we had a couple of salads -- a good Caesar with tasty marinated boquerones filling in for the usual salt-cured anchovies, and a lovely heirloom tomato and arugula salad with crumbled blue cheese (it was listed with shredded manchego, but changed without explanation). Then we had an excellent New York strip steak served over creamed corn and green beans, with a dish of fries on the side, tossed in minced garlic and herbs, and a seared sea-bass with white beans, fennel and a simple tomato sauce. We finished up by sharing a nectarine and berry crisp with vanilla ice-cream. I liked the wine-list, offering a range of unusual treats from all over. We had a delicious Justin tempranillo from Paso Robles.
We'll definitely go back -- it's a surprising, sophisticated, urban space in this laidback Oakland neighborhhod, and the staff are well-trained and eager to please. The food is well-executed neighborhood fare, nothing out of the ordinary, but very satisfying. Next time, we'll stay at the bar and try the pizza...
I've lived in this neighborhood for 21 years and during this time I have been watching it gracefully become one of the most interesting places to live in the bay area. Those of us who have lived here in the Grand/Lake area for some time are now getting to experience a vibrant transformation and influx of a well balanced cross-section of diverse cultural influences. The introduction of a few really good new restaurants over the past few years has added to the enjoyment of being here. I have been to di Bartolo's 5 times in the last month and a half and have yet to have a negative experience there. Granted, the wait staff is a little inexperienced, but they are learning and getting better at their jobs. I have never felt neglected or poorly served even during busy times and always have been treated courteously. I do find it a bit of a mystery that the layout is somewhat backward. An excellent and comfortable bar is located at the rear of the restaurant, but if one had never been in, it would be hard to know that the bar was there. Foodwise, the menu is rich and full of many well prepared dishes. The chef, Jason Wheeler, knows his craft. Since he has come on board, (he wasn't the original chef), the food has continued to improve and evolve into better and more interesting choices that are very well prepared and there is a good mixture of choices to satisfy a wide variety of tastes and preferences. I have had the chance to sample most of the items on the menu, sharing plates with friends and my wife, and have yet to find one that I would not order again. Even so, the menu continues to change and everytime I have come back, I have had the chance to find and explore new seasonal offerings, made with locally grown and raised ingredients. This is especially important to me. I believe in supporting local producers, and the menu here allows me to indulge without guilt. Will I return? Without question...I will be enjoying di Bartolo's on a regular basis. One of the many reasons to be happy and grateful to be living in Oakland right now, as it continues to express a new "renaissance" as a center of good living and eating and enjoying life at it's best.
re: Klein Blue
I've also lived in the Grand Lake neighborhood for about 20 years. I, however, haven't noticed these new places opening up....I know Mezze, Arizmendi, Peets, DiBartolo...what else is there? The first 3 have been there for years. I have seen Autumn Moon close down (much to our distress) and loads of not very interesting places come and go.
I just got takeout last night from a pretty bad Japanese restaurant, Mijori. The sushi and sashimi was okay, but the other stuff was blah.
Please let me know where these new places are. I'm ready!
re: Klein Blue
Make sure you got to Coach Sushi! The old Mr. Sushi down by Zzaas. Excellent Sushi.
It sounds like they started out rough, and are starting to hit their groove... I have somehow walked by it many times without noticing it in the last 10 weeks (must have thought it was a new addition to the cafe) and went for dinner for the first time last night.
I was very pleased - I actually thought the value was excellent for the money, significantly more so than Mezze, which I find overpriced and mediocre. I think they're on par with A Cote - actually, very similar in style of food and price point.
I adore herbs in cocktails, and they use a lot in theirs. The ginger cocktail didn't taste quite as I expected (citrus overwhelmed the ginger and the black pepper), and it was too strong for me to get a second drink (yes, lightweight, thanks), but I'll definitely go back to try some others.
We split two apps - a roasted half Frog Hollow Peach with herbed mascarpone, and a basket of perfect fries with fresh herbs (with excellent romesco and aioli sauces for dipping.) Main course was a great pizza (if I'm going to nitpick, I'd say the crust was more crackery than my ideal) with leeks, mushrooms, pancetta, and two fried eggs on top. I'm a sucker for umami and more umami smothered in unctuous egg yolk, so I was pretty much in heaven by that point.
Dessert was a good mascarpone cheesecake with almond genoise and berry sauce.
For two drinks, two apps, pizza, and dessert, it came out to under $30 per person, before tip. Would definitely encourage people to give it another shot, if their initial experiences were disappointing.
re: daveena
Hey daveena, good to have you posting again! We're on a Korean tear through Oakland and the South Bay, so hope to hear from you about your favorites when you have a chance.
re: Melanie Wong
Thanks Melanie! Looks like I have some catching up to do... now that I no longer live on Soondubu Row, I've fallen off the Korean chow trail, but I should start looking into scene in Oakland. Also, for the past year, I've been stuffing myself with the European and Chez Panisse-school food that I didn't have access to in the South Bay.
Hey, can you tell me who keeps the contact list for East Bay Chowdowns? I want in!
re: daveena
Good for you! Sign up here for the East Bay Chowdown list to help organize outings -
Be sure to take a look through the archived messages for a couple pending events.
re: daveena
After a few more meals, I am going to retract my above statement that Di Bartolo is on par with A Cote - they have neither A Cote's consistency, nor the high percentage of new dishes each month. But they are still good for a neighborhood restaurant. I was very disappointed by the orecchiette with cavolo nero and squash (overcooked pasta, excess of creamy sauce) and found the panna cotta with the persimmon sauce to have a weirdly soapy aftertaste. However, the quail has been excellent every time, the cauliflower soup is great, and the steak is very good.
Just stumbled into di Bartolo while on the way to my favorite bargain sushi on Grand.... seduced by exposed brick, brown tables, white linens and plates.
We walked in around 7-ish on Saturday and breezed to a cozy corner table at the back bar, all brick and dark wood, which made me feel like I was in Brooklyn. Which is very cozy and good, on a Fall night. Because it's pretty standard Cal/Med food (though one of the more enticing menu's in Oakland, for sure), it all hangs on perfect execution. We went for the most pedestrian of starters (which is usually a decent way to see what's going on in the kitchen). I found the tuna tartar fine to eat, a bit too spiky with vinegar, but the crispy strands of fried onion gave a nice crunchy contrast. If you're feeling junky, the garlic fries went well with our citrusy 209 gin and Hangar One vodka cocktails. But the Caesar salad crashed and burned, so much so that I longed to tell the chef so that no other innocent diner would fall victim to the gloopy, flat dressing and house-made croutons with the acrid must of oxidized olive oil. My date went to the bar and procured lemon wedges for me, in a vain attempt to liven it up. (Great bar service, by the way!) Hopefully the salad was an isolated incident.
We erased the taste memory of the salad with lovely desserts, a heavenly autumnal walnut-y bread pudding, and a silken, just-tart-enough panna cotta, shared with a glass of port. Cozy, nice. Superb desserts.
Definitely will go back -- I really want places like this to make it in Oakland -- but I sure hope they're taking in all the feedback and working out the kinks, so they can hit their mark.
I dropped by for dinner on Saturday night, and was pleased. Nothing outstanding, just solid food in good surroundings. The kaffir lime margarita was great, and I really enjoyed the steak frites -- steak cooked to perfect medium rare, celery root puree was really good, and the fries were tasty. My friend had the eggplant and goat cheese salad, which she loved, and the margarita pizza, which looked not quite crispy enough. We didn't have dessert, but the dessert menu looked promising. We sat in the back room bar area, which is a really nice little area, nice tables for seating there, and a good amount of seting at the bar. I wish the price point was a little lower, but even so I'll definitely go back.

No, the term "Best Public Art" isn't necessarily an oxymoron, even though a lot of what passes for public art in South Florida may be public but is hardly art, or at least good art. We used to wonder what on earth possessed the county to spend money on Accordant Zones, the pair of 1995 coral-rock sculptures by Ned Smyth and Barbara Neijna that sit on the banks of the New River in what's more or less the back yard of the county jail. Viewed from the SE Third Avenue bridge as you head south over the river, these chunks of stone might be mistaken for, say, the Tomb of the Unknown Rice Cake and Ice Cream Cone, because that's more or less what they resemble. But take a stroll along the river and catch these towering forms up close, and be thankful we can provide incarcerated residents with our own urban variation on Stonehenge.

For a tough rand-style skirt that won't implode in big, heavy whitewater, check out the Immersion Research Lucky Charm Spray Skirt. The innovative tri-fin rand design keeps water out of your boat, and the specially formulated rubber maintains its stretch in cold weather, which makes it easier to pop the skirt over the cockpit.
- Backcountry.com
The Lucky Charm Rand Spray Skirt is Immersion Research's latest rand-style skirt, and replaces the ToughSkin Rand. This updated skirt features a new ?fin? style rand designed to create an effective water barrier on even the most challenging rims, an improved high-viz grab handle, and a general overhaul of the skirt fit-range to encompass the new generation of wider cockpit rims, particularly Jackson kayaks. Like all rand-style skirts, this model tends to be harder to get on a rim than a bungee skirt, but is an excellent choice for kayakers most concerned with skirt implosion, and/or who are very hard on skirts. Is this right style skirt for you?

The U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia has backed the efforts of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to cut down on water pollution from mining operations, the Charleston Gazette reported.
The ruling supports the Obama administration's policies that aim to reduce coal pollution. The legal panel upheld the EPA's right to set up a process to review permits under the federal Clean Water Act for mining companies, in cooperation with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. In addition, the judges stated that the EPA's guidelines for reducing pollution from surface mines could not be challenged in court because they are not part of a final agency rule.
The three-judge panel dismissed previous decisions by a U.S. district judge who upheld claims by the National Mining Association and the state of West Virginia that the federal agency was violating its authority. They had alleged that the agency was trying to illegally enforce regulation to reduce pollution that scientists put down to mountaintop removal.
The agency's press secretary Liz Purchia said in a statement that the federal regulator welcomed the ruling and confirmed the EPA's commitment to use its authority under the Clean Water Act to make sure the environment and the public health of Appalachian communities were protected. Environmental groups also supported the court's decision, accusing mining companies of damaging the Appalachian environment for years.

Temperatures were low, but the intensity of the playoff atmosphere ran high throughout Farmingdale High School on Friday, Nov. 5. The Dalers, third seed in Nassau County's Conference I, hosted the sixth seeded MacArthur Generals in the opening round of postseason play. In the previous meeting between these two teams, back in September, Farmingdale prevailed (31-26).
The Dalers started off the game with the first possession but were forced to punt. The Generals drove 83 yards down the field, striking first on running back Brett Ellers' TD from less than five yards out.
The extra point was good; MacArthur led 7-0 with four minutes left in the first quarter. Farmingdale answered back, marching down the field from the 33-yard line.
On 1st and goal, Brian Prendergast took a handoff from the 9-yard line and scored to put the Dalers on the board. The extra point was converted, and at the end of quarter one, the score was knotted 7-7.
The two teams exchanged punts early in the second quarter. After forcing MacArthur to punt again midway through the quarter, Farmingdale took over at the 36-yard line. On 2nd and 8, quarterback Sal Tuttle threw a deep pass over the middle of the field that seemed destined to be intercepted. Receiver Vinny Schultz jumped and made an excellent catch to gain 33 yards.
A few plays later, on 4th down and 5, Farmingdale rolled the dice and opted to go for it. Tuttle dropped back and fired a pass to Pat Starke, giving the Dalers a first down inside the 10-yard line.
The next play, running back Kevin Wahl took a handoff, made a defender miss, and scored to put Farmingdale ahead. The score stood at 14-7 with less than four minutes left in the half.
The Generals' next possession began at the 36-yard line. Quarterback Kevin Monahan rolled to his right and lofted a pass to running back Tom Joyce to pick up 19 yards.
Joyce took a handoff and then threw deep to receiver Will Cheshire to connect for a 38-yard TD and tied the game at 14.
Starke's returned kickoff straight up the middle was brought down at Farmingdale's 47-yard line with two minutes left. The Dalers picked up two first downs and took the ball inside MacArthur's 20-yard line.
On a 3rd down and 10, Tuttle took the snap, rolled right, and then scrambled back to his left to elude the blitzing Generals' defenders. He threw a high pass to receiver Rodney Torruella, who jumped, came down with the ball, picked up blocks and ran 18 yards into the end zone with less than 15 seconds remaining. At the half, Farmingdale led, 21-14.
The Generals got the ball first to open the second half and threatened to score after Tom Joyce took a pitch 55 yards to the Dalers' 11-yard line. Farmingdale's defense toughened up, forcing 4th down. MacArthur's 26-yard field goal attempt missed wide left, Dalers took over at their own 20 but were forced to punt. The Generals and Dalers exchanged punts again. The third quarter ended with a Generals punt to the Dalers, the score still 21-14.
Farmingdale had possession at their 43-yard line when the quarter began, and moved the chains once before facing a 4th and 5th at MacArthur's 45-yard line. Farmingdale's offense stayed on the field and appeared to be going for the first down, but Tuttle took the snap and punted the ball, pinning the Generals at their own 6-yard line. A 14-yard pass to Joyce moved MacArthur to the 20-yard line.
Monahan threw a screen to backup quarterback Gerard Cunningham, and threw to Joyce for a 57-yard gain. Joyce took a handoff six yards into the end zone to cut Farmingdale's lead to 21-20.
The Generals lined up in field goal formation, but Monahan took the snap and threw to Ellers, shocking everyone at Don M. Snyder Stadium, putting MacArthur in the lead, 22-21, with seven minutes left.
The kickoff went out of bounds, giving the Dalers great field position at their own 41-yard line. After four carries by Wahl and a reverse to Prendergast, Farmingdale was faced with a 4th down and inches to go situation from MacArthur's 30-yard line with less than five minutes to go.
Tuttle, in the shotgun, faked the handoff to Wahl and took it himself, running to the 10-yard line and giving his team the first down. After two handoffs to Wahl and a fumbled snap could not give the Dalers the chance to score, it was 4th down from the 7-yard line.
They sent out kicker Greg Catalano to earn the lead, and he did just that, hitting the 24-yard field goal, putting Farmingdale, 24-22.
The Generals then had two minutes to regain the lead and save their season. A screen to Joyce and two more passes from Monahan took them to Farmingdale's 30-yard line.
Two more completions brought up 4th down and three, from the 23. MacArthur then lined up to attempt the 39-yard field goal that would have put them ahead.
The kick had the distance, but narrowly missed to the left. With no timeouts remaining, MacArthur's season was over.
Tuttle completed 12 of 19 passes for 143-yard and a TD. Wahl took 22 carries for 146 yards and a score. Schultz led Farmingdale's receiving corps with five catches for 76 yards. Linebacker Mike Palmer led the team with 17 tackles and Carl Brescia added 10 tackles.
For MacArthur, Monahan finished 14 of 23 with 186 yards. Joyce and Ellers combined to rush for 110 yards and two TDs.
This game was full of emotions for both sides, as the Generals' season came to a close and Farmingdale's seniors played their final game on Farmingdale's home field. With this victory, the Dalers advanced to round two of the postseason to play the second seeded Oceanside Sailors on Thursday, Nov. 11 at Hofstra's James M. Shuart Stadium.

The Blossom twins in TNA
I was wondering if you think tna would benefit in bringing Hannah and holly blossom in to tna from ovw ?
There girls have really impressed me on Ovw and I think that they can really add to the growing fan base in the uk. But what do you guys think ? Would you bring them in and give them a chance ?
Re: The blossom twins in tna
Preparing for the shitstorm...
Re: The blossom twins in tna
Maybe UK is TNA
Re: The blossom twins in tna
Re: The blossom twins in tna
I say bring them! They've got talent...(green but a workable green) and both cute, petite as hell! All for it!
Re: The blossom twins in tna
No.... you just seem shallow.
Re: The blossom twins in tna
Well, A few points.
First They haven't been at OVW since Late 2011, and wont be back until at least Later this year in the winter.
Second, they have immigration issues, they can only stay in the USA for a few months.
Third, they're kind of "Soft". Not really pudgy per say but they need to work on that.
Re: The blossom twins in tna
I've never seen them but if they haven't graduated to a major league yet with their looks then they really must be bad.
Re: The blossom twins in tna
Re: The blossom twins in tna
They're cute and have a naturally bubbly persona about them but I dunno if they'd fit. One because they seem like a natural pair to put the tag belts on but that would basically be the death of their career to begin with since TNA only gives that belt shine once every three months or so and two because it's too easy to fall into the shitty "Bella twin" style booking that nobody wants to see.
I've also never seen them do anything even sort of half-way impressive wrestling-wise but that might be more due to OVW's apparently god awful training/booking when it comes to women.

GameStop Training Video on Talking to Women
So ladies, are you either "overwhelmed" or a "hunter" or "gatherer", or are you just simply offended? [Editor's Note: This is either a brilliant parody, or the single most misguided in-store training video since that rapping microwave dude from Wendy's. Either way, it's amazing.] Watch Video ›

You are here: Homepage Water & Sewerage Systems ACT Sewerage System What is sewage Sewage Treatment Plants Lower Molonglo Water Quality Control Centre
The Lower Molonglo Water Quality Control Centre (LMWQCC) is the main treatment facility for Canberra and is the largest inland treatment facility in Australia.
Located alongside the Molonglo River, one kilometre upstream from the junction with the Murrumbidgee River, LMWQCC treats more than 90 million litres of Canberra's sewage each day. The process includes physical, chemical, and biological treatment processes before the water is discharged into the Molonglo River.
As the sewage enters LMWQCC, a range of objects are collected by a screening process. Some interesting finds include goldfish, dentures and a range of children's toys. Some items can be seen in the screen room during tours of the facility.
ACTEW Water's treatment process ensures that the water that is discharged into the Molonglo River has minimal impact on the environment and downstream users. The ACT Environmental Protection Act 1997, under which LMWQCC operates, sets strict licence conditions aimed at protecting the rivers into which water is discharged. LMWQCC meets these licence requirements, including chemical testing and biological monitoring programs.
Extensive monitoring is undertaken to ensure water quality, and ecological monitoring, such as the Fish Monitoring Program, provides information on the river's health. The numbers of macro invertebrates, which are small crustaceans and insects, are also monitored regularly. The treated water from LMWQCC plays an important role in keeping the rivers flowing, especially during dry periods.
In line with ACTEW Water's commitment to ecological sustainability, LMWQCC has developed an Environmental Management Program. LMWQCC was the first sewage treatment facility in Australia to gain certification for the following International Standards:
During the treatment process all of the solid material, which is called "sewage sludge", is removed and incinerated in a high temperature furnace. The resulting ash, Agri-Ash, is sold to farmers as a soil conditioner.
These are also a number of water reuse projects operating within the ACT, which treat wastewater for reuse in the irrigation of parks, playing fields and golf courses.

"Sorry but William Ballard who was baptised 12th August 1603 in Southwell, Nottinghamshire was buried there in 1619 so it cannot be him." In 1635 when William Ballard registered as a passenger on the "James" he was age 35 - so the age is right. Could there have been more than one William Ballard in the above Parish - could the deceased William have been another man [his father of uncle or cousin] of the same name?

Thank you for your message. It is George James Ballard's wife who is my (distant) cousin and it is her line that I am following. Thank you anyway. I have two other Ballards in my tree: a Doris Ballard of whom I know nothing except she married my relative Colin Ryce in NSW Australia 1950s - 1960s, and Helen Jane Ballard (Jun 1964 Leicester). Her father had been born Bastard and changed his name to Ballard. Thank you for sharing. Rena Brewin

"Absolutely LOVE these! They are a bit bigger, just a side note, but that makes them even more unique! LOVE them- reordering more!"
"These 'wrap-around' labels are unique and fun. Whoever thot of doing something new for a return address label...kudos to you!"
"I ordered 1 sleeve of this and 1 sleeve of another design and love them both! They are chic, fun and look great in person. Very girlie...with a little edge. I searched for the "perfect" address labels for a while - and found them at Tiny Prints. My order was printed fast and delivered even faster (about 6 days ahead of when I expected to receive them)!"
"These address labels were obviously designed by someone with very good taste and artistic sense, and I had the good sense to change nothing but the information on them. The result is lovely, and I'm very pleased with them."
