Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so.
18 Dec
Went to Boston Cooker for dinner tonight. Hmmm… guess what I was in the mood for? Sure, the yeast rolls are awesome, but it's the Ipswich clams that keep me coming back for more.
They're just so yummy. Crunchy on the outside, soft and flavorful on the inside. The batter doesn't detract from the taste of the whole belly clams. It's a taste of my childhood in New England.
Loren got the cedar plank salmon special.
It was on a bed of spinach with a lemon sauce on top. He enjoyed it. The fish was cooked just right, light and flavorful.
The only downside to the meal was where we were sitting. We were in the path to the kitchen and everytime someone passed by Loren's chair, they ended up hitting it.
We tried their chocolate silk pie for dessert.
It was ok. Not the best I've had, but it finished off a yummy meal nicely. Total bill was $46.

I thought this was Cathy's blog? Well, I went out to dinner with some of the guys this evening. We opted to go to Cheddar's on East Bay. Hadn't been there in a while, and couldn't remember if I'd ever eaten inside. I know I've been outside there. The experience is slightly more formal inside, didn't seem like the same restaurant. I think they've changed their menu, as well. They certainly have a lot of variety on the menu.
We started with a spinach dip appetizer, which I forgot to take a photo of before we scarfed half of it. Spinach dips can be hit or miss, this one was a definite hit. Very flavorful. The chips were freshly made and crispy, too.
Shortly thereafter, salads showed up. It was then that I decided to break out the camera. It was a pretty salad with the croissant on the side. Ask anybody, I'm not much of a bread person, and I'm particularly not crazy about croissants normally. This one was to die for. Crispy on the outside, melt-in-your-mouth on the inside, and drizzled with honey. I could have eaten a few more of them! The salad was pretty good. The plum tomatoes were a little under-ripe and didn't do it for me, but the ranch dressing was pretty tasty and the lettuce was fresh.
All the food around the table looked good and I heard no complaints. I don't remember what everyone else ordered. I think there was another burger and I know there was some sort of glazed salmon that looked perfectly grilled. I had a bacon cheeseburger. It looked a little lonely on the plate, but that's because I ordered a side salad instead of fries. Not the best burger I've ever had, but it was well-cooked (a nice medium-well), super-juicy (a kind way of saying "really greasy"), and pretty tasty. I sliced it in half and took half of it home. That was my plan when I ordered it, as I really don't need to eat a half-pound burger!
I thought the prices were very reasonable. I was looking at getting a salad at first, and most of their salads were $7-8. Then I looked at the other side of the menu, where most of the entrees were $8-10. But, then I saw burgers as cheap as $4.99 and settled on a $5.69 half-pound bacon cheeseburger. My total bill for the burger, salad and iced tea was $10.62. Probably one of the cheapest dinners I've had in a while, and I took half a burger home!

The last thing we expected on entering City Fish in Oldsmar tonight was to be accosted by the stench of cigarette smoke. At first we thought we had just passed by someone who had been smoking, but sitting at our table the smell continued to permeate the air. When we asked our waitress about it, she asked it we were smelling the oak wood they grill on. Umm, no. Then she turned toward the bar and said the door was open to the smoking area on the patio and she'd see if it could be closed.
Well, no such luck. She returned and said people were going in and out of the door (which we hadn't seen anyone go through the door), but would we like to move to another table? If you've been to City Fish, you know it's one big open room, it's not like moving a few tables over would have resolved the issue.
We should have left at this point, but the food was good the last time we were here, so we decided to stay. And aside from my entree, the rest of the food was actually pretty good.
The bread was hot, fresh and tasty. You know it's good when Loren digs in.
We ordered a bowl of the New England Crab Chowder and a side salad.
The chowder was delish! Creamy and thick with lots of crab in it. Loren enjoyed the salad as well. We also ordered a California Roll.
I wasn't too impressed with it. The rice wasn't prepared very well. It was too gooey. Then came the entrees. Loren ordered the swordfish with Thai mango salsa, mashed potatoes and house veggies.
He was a happy guy. The swordfish was cooked perfectly and he ate every bite.
The house veggies that came with both meals had squash and mushrooms in a tomato based sauce. It was tasty.
I ordered the Chicken Portobello with mashed potatoes.
The chicken was topped with portobello mushrooms, spinach and fontina cheese. Unfortunately, when I tried to cut into the chicken, my knife wasn't making much of a dent. The chicken was overcooked and tough. By this point, I'd been breathing second hand smoke for over an hour and my patience was completely gone.
At this point, the manager stopped by our table and we had the same conversation with him as we did with the waitress, "oh are you smelling the oak grill?", "No, it's the smoke from the patio", "Would you like to move to another table?". He told us the door was broken between the restaurant and the patio so they couldn't close it. Then he asked about the food and when I told him about the chicken, he offered to replace it with something else, but I was just ready to get out of there. He did, however, take the chicken off our bill.
Though our waitress was good about refilling drinks and checking on us, her attitude about our complaints was a bit offputting. She'd cock her head to the side and stick out her bottom lip and make a pouty face and spoke to me like I was a child while she was apologizing. I know she was trying to be sincere, but it just didn't work.
Our bill ended up at $40 after my entree was removed. We came home and put our clothes in the laundry and took a shower to get the cigarette smoke smell off of us. Though most of the food was good, we won't be back again.

We didn't feel like driving too far for dinner tonight, so we headed over to Panos Kouzina. On my quest to try new restaurants, we haven't been back to our old favorites for a while.
The food here is consistently good, they give you plenty of it, and their prices aren't bad at all. Both our entrees came with either soup or salad and some bread. We both opted for salad tonight.
My only complaint was that the salad had chopped onions on it. I'm not a fan of raw onions on anything and it took a while to pick all these off the salad. The ranch dressing was very thick, but tasty, and the bread was thick and warm. I'd forgotten how good it was.
Loren got the chicken souvlaki with a side of fries. He said the chicken was very tender. The tzatziki sauce here is really garlicy.
I ordered the chicken marsala with a side of fettucine alfredo.
The marsala sauce here is very sweet. Loren said it tasted like molasses, but I didn't think it was that harsh of a flavor. I enjoyed it. The dish came with two good sized chicken breasts that were incredibly tender. This is how chicken should be cooked. The fettucine alfredo was thick and creamy with a nice flavor. I had plenty of leftovers and yet, I still ordered dessert.
How was I possibly going to pass up this chocolate lovin' spoon cake? The waitress described it as a "prison dessert" because you eat it huddled over with your arms around it ready to poke anyone with a fork who tries to get too close to it. It was pretty darn good. It had a thick, rich mousse and tender chocolate cake. What's not to like?
Total dinner was $33 and I've got leftover chicken and even a little cake for tomorrow.

We haven't been to Vincenzo's in a while, so that's where we headed tonight. The parking lot was full, but luckily we were able to get a table without a wait. The restaurant doesn't have a very large dining room, but the artwork and decor are both very pleasing to the eye. Street lamps decorate a balcony railing to make you feel as though you're on an outside veranda.
First up, some homemade bread with pesto, olive oil, and butter.
I liked the bread, Loren thought it was too dense. It was warm and had a nice texture and flavor to it. We looked through all the appetizers on the menu, but let's face it, we like calamari.
The calamari had a nice crunch and the marinara sauce was really good. You could tell it had cooked for a long time because the flavors melded so well. Salads also came with our meals.
Loren ordered the chicken gorgonzola which had asparagus and mushrooms in a gongonzola cream sauce. Their side dish tonight was peas.
He enjoyed the dish. The chicken was tender and the sauce was really tasty. The asparagus was cooked well, he thought it had been cooked on the grill, so it still had a little crunch to it. He said the dish could have used a starch, maybe some plain pasta to go with the sauce.
I ordered the lasagne.
It was a big dish of lasagne, but I have to say, I was really disappointed in it. To me, lasagne is layers of pasta, meat and cheese and this dish was lacking in everything but pasta. I took one bite and got all pasta and sauce so I started to peel back the layers and realized that was all that was there. It was a meat sauce between the layers, but there wasn't much meat to it either. I'm a big fan of ricotta cheese and there was none in this dish. Looking back at the menu, I now realize it didn't list ricotta cheese in the ingredients, just pasta, mozzarella cheese, and meat sauce in a bechamel rue. I guess I just assumed lasagne had ricotta cheese in it. It actually tasted ok, but if I had wanted just pasta and sauce, I would have ordered spaghetti.
The total bill was $43 and I left disappointed. The homemade flavors were there, but the execution on my dish was lacking.

Flight of Revenue
Along with its regional carriers American Eagle and American
Connection, American Airlines serves more than 250 cities in 41
countries with 1,100 airplanes and about 4,400 daily flights. The
airline processes about 125 million transportation documents on an
annual basis.
With the amount of data created by all these ticket documents, American
Airlines needed a more efficient system that would help ensure proper
amounts of earned revenue on ticket sales. But because of the
complexity of the airline industry and the amount of data involved in
ticket transactions, accomplishing this would be no small task.
"Our business analysts have the expertise to spot fraud and other
incidents of incorrect revenue flow, but they also need a system that
makes it easy for them to quickly query and sort through large amounts
of data," said John Hagen, senior systems analyst and project manager
for American Airlines.
Hagen was also concerned with the amount of storage such a system would
require. "Some data warehouse technologies expand the amount of
required storage by five to ten times after indexing," Hagen said.
"This would force us to purchase as much as two additional terabytes of
storage—an expensive proposition."
Search for a Solution
American Airlines first considered hiring outside consultants to
custom-build a data warehouse, but the cost would have likely
outweighed the expected return. Alternatively, Hagen and his staff
turned to Sybase after its technology significantly outperformed other
leading off-the-shelf data warehouses.
"Sybase IQ returned one ad hoc inquiry in minutes compared to one of
the other vendor's software that literally took hours," Hagen said.
"Sybase IQ was consistently 10 times faster than the other two
competitors' software."
American Airlines integrated Sybase IQ with other data warehouse
technologies that combine to give the airline an efficient solution
that scales easily. Sun Microsystems provided server and storage
hardware while Computer Associates helped deploy its front-end,
report-generation software. American named this data warehouse RADAR
(Revenue Account Data Access Resource).
"The technology provided by Sybase, Sun and Computer Associates has
made it easy for us to keep RADAR within the same configuration over
time, and this makes things a lot simpler," Hagen said. "All we have
had to do is add more storage and load system upgrades as our business
Sybase IQ also integrated seamlessly with American's legacy systems.
Soaring Results
With the RADAR system, American Airlines now has the data warehouse it
needs to detect fraudulent ticket-processing, track ticket sales
properly and ensure proper revenue is flowing into the company.
"Besides benefiting from faster inquiries, we can also conduct more
in-depth analysis," Hagen said. "The previous system could hold only
three months of data, but Sybase IQ allows us to store about 13 months
of data, so we can run historical reports over longer time periods."
Hagen estimates that American saved about $250,000 up-front compared to
the cost of developing a similar data warehouse using outside
consultants. But the ongoing savings have been even more dramatic. "We
originally projected that Sybase IQ would save us about $150K per
year," Hagen said. "But over the past five years, it has saved us about
$5 million by helping us identify forms of fraud we never knew existed
and by giving us the ability to implement appropriate measures to
eliminate the causes."
The astounding success of the program has caused the number of American
Airlines end-users to increase significantly. "The system has actually
become a best-practice standard within the company, and many more users
are now tapping into IQ Multiplex for information," Hagen said.
"Besides the business analysts, we also have security analysts,
auditors and vice presidents taking advantage of the data Sybase IQ
The system has performed so well that American Airlines has turned down
proposals from Big 5 consulting firms to tune their business analytic
Sybase IQ has also reduced the amount of storage American Airlines
needs for the data warehouse. "The total storage required by Sybase IQ
is about 600GB," Hagen said. "Without IQ's compression and

American Airlines also realizes the impact that the IQ Multiplex
solution has had on its customers. "By detecting ticketing errors and
improving cash flow, we can keep ticket prices lower," Hagen said.
"What a technology can do for the company's customer is the ultimate

impact. It has turned out to be a win-win for us and our customers."

Phil Donahue Headlines 2014 Erma Bombeck Writers' Workshop
DAYTON -- Emmy Award-winning talk show host Phil Donahue used to live across the street from humorist Erma Bombeck in Centerville. From those unpretentious beginnings in suburbia, both soared to national popularity.
This spring, Donahue plans to return home to kick off the 2014 Erma Bombeck Writers' Workshop at the University of Dayton with memories of that special friendship in a keynote talk.
Online registration for the workshop, slated April 10-12, opens at noon on Wednesday, Dec. 4. A link will be posted at www.humorwriters.org when registration opens. The registration fee is $395 with free scholarships available for more than 30 University of Dayton students, beginning in January. Besides Donahue, the keynoters include:
New York Times' best-selling novelist Lisa Scottoline and writer-daughter, Francesca Serritella.
Author Mary Lou Quinlan, marketing expert and writer of four books, most recently The God Box, Sharing My Mothers Gift of Faith, Love and Letting Go, which became a New York Times' bestseller in just three weeks.

Five years ago, Arielle Eckstut and David Henry Sterry created an event that has drawn thousands of people into bookstores, writing conferences and book festivals all over the country and captured attention from The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post and NPR. Writers get one minute to pitch a book idea before a panel. The judges pick a winner, who will receive an introduction to an agent or publisher appropriate for the book idea.
The workshop will include a special panel, "Women Writing Their Lives Truth-Telling, Wisdom and Laughter," with Suzanne Braun Levine, the first editor of Ms. Magazine, and two former keynote speakers humorist and scholar Gina Barreca and author Ilene (Gingy) Beckerman. Patricia Wynn Brown, the workshop's popular emcee, will moderate the discussion.
In addition, New York Times best-selling author W. Bruce Cameron and his screenwriting partner Cathryn Michon will share excerpts from their 2014 romantic comedy, Muffin Top: A Love Story, and talk about turning a novel into a screenplay. Michon, one of the film's stars and an advocate for putting more women in front of and behind Hollywood's cameras, raised $75,000 from a Kickstarter social media campaign to conduct a nationwide red carpet tour of the movie.

This has already been discussed in the comments section to the previous post, but I thought it needed further highlighting - just to show what direction the men's rights movement is currently heading in when we allow creatures like this to impose radical feminist abuse theory onto OUR cause.
If you think about it a good portion of the men who are saying things like "you got lucky" were likely victims themselves. Since they can't hope for any kind of help with dealing with their victimization, saying "I got lucky" is a way of distancing themselves from the pain and closing it off from every day reality.
And the ones who weren't victimized live in a society where their consent is effectively meaningless; they are sexually available to women whenever women want, regardless of their own wishes. Subconsciously they are aware of this reality and when you're in a society where a woman can sexually exploit you whenever she wants with legal and social impunity, perhaps the only way to defend yourself psychologically is to pretend you don't care about consent in the first place. It's not like men's consent is something that society's going to respect any time soon.
Of course, TyphonBlue and her colleagues believe that virtually every boy and man has been 'raped' and 'abused' by a woman at some point, thus it would be hardly surprising if she is correct on this point - yes, a lot of men who disagree with feminist abuse labels have been 'abused', and that 'fact' would tell us absolutely nothing. Similarly, if you have worked as an alcohol addiction counsellor in your formative men's rights days, it would be unsurprising if you came across several broken wrecks who claimed to have
gotten lucky been sexually abused by women as teenage boys, and furthermore that they use that experience as an excuse to divorce their own responsibility from their failed adult lives. Naturally, you won't hear of the thousands of highly successful men, and millions of functioning adult males, who were 'abused' as teenagers , because those men do not need that rationalisation. But if the sexual abuse of boys is as prevalent as the leaders of the men's rights movement would like you to believe, then a massive segment of the male population ought to be traumatised beyond repair, beyond the ability to function as healthy adults. This doesn't appear to be the case to me, at least not outside the USA and the UK, and given that these two countries have the greatest paedohysteria in the world, the most stringent feminist laws 'protecting' children, and the most 'paedophiles' safely locked up to be beaten and raped, you would assume that these countries would suffer from the lowest rates of child sexual abuse in the world and hence the least fucked up adult population. Lol. As someone who has escaped from feminist/media hysterical talk of dead male celebrities being involved in satanic abuse cults, and spent 3 happy weeks by the meditteranean in a very civilised land, I can safely vouch that this is not the reality.
When the likes of TyphonBlue are allowed to sprout such radical feminist ideology that literally is jailing hundreds of thousands of men as the worst subhuman monsters on the planet, as well as leaving thousands of young 'victims' traumatised through abuse labelling and forced therapy, and yet at the same time the father of the modern men's rights movement is no longer welcome, then perhaps it is time to take a step back and calmly consider if there are indeed some real issues that need addressing here.
The last word here goes to Eivind Berge :
While many so-called MRAs these days sadly are busy promoting the feminist sex abuse industry as long as it upholds equal injustice for women as well as men, I direct my activist hatred squarely where it is deserved at the feminist sex abuse industry itself and its core values. Those core values are hatred of normal male sexuality, plain and simple, and the only rational thing for men to do is to band together and fight back against the abuse industry.

Home › Forums › Backend Issues (wp-admin) › Standard Metabox Margins Reversed?
Hi Elliot,
I am using the latest version of ACF and WP 3.5.2
But the standard metaboxes seem to have no margins at the bottom and look weird in the post editor module.
Please see screenshot here http://imgur.com/m1DSoz4
As you can see the metaboxes are flush with the metaboxes below them. Not as cool as it used to be where the metaboxes were distributed evenly.
Any ideas why this is the behaviour – as of recent?
Many Thanks
Hi @motocomdigital
Thanks for the screenshot. Yes, this is a bug in the current ACF CSS.
I'll have this fixed in the next version

For years, 3D projection has seemed a technology long on potential but short on practicality. Despite some promising-looking technology demonstrations in the past, manufacturers just couldn't pull 3D into the production stage. But all that has changed ... and in a huge way.
3D is here, now, and it's surprisingly accessible for a technology this early in the adoption cycle. One of the companies giving 3D a major push is Texas Instruments. Early in 2007, TI began shipping a new chipset, used for DLP's color wheel technology, in its DLP projectors. This year, TI released new firmware upgrade that, when applied to those post-2007 projectors, become 3D enabled.
If that isn't accessible and affordable enough, at this year's InfoComm, projector manufacturers introduced extremely low-priced DLP projectors--even a 2,500-lumen DLP for less than $550. So while DLP projectors can be upgraded to accommodate 3D, buying a new projector may cost less than paying a technician to travel, install firmware and travel back.
So how does 3D fit in with today's education technologies? To find out, Campus Technology's Denise Harrison posed the questions to one of the experts--Chris Chinnock.
Chinnock is founder and president of Insight Media, an emerging display consultancy and board member of the 3D@Home Consortium, an industry-led organization dedicated to the rapid commercialization of 3D.
Denise Harrison: What has been the evolution of 3D in education?
Chinnock: Modeling astrophysics or fluid dynamics or weather systems takes super computers--typically at university centers. To output this data with lots of pixels in 3D requires a very high end display (visualization) system. Desktop and conference room solutions have existed too, but the new wave is a new class of DLP projector that is being aimed at mainstream ... education markets. At InfoComm, we saw new products from Sharp, BenQ, Optoma, ViewSonic, and Mitsubishi, with some offering products as low as $649 for the education market (plus the cost of glasses and content). To open up the mainstream education market, we will need a lot more content, which will start to flow, I think.
Harrison: What are the applications using 3D technologies the most now?
Chinnock: The more obvious ones are anatomy, biology, astronomy, etc. But technical schools for showing engine design and maintenance are obvious too. Once Pandora's Box is opened, I think there will be a lot of creative uses of 3D in the classroom.
Harrison: Which additional applications will use it in the future?
Chinnock: 3D Excel charts.
Harrison: What are the benefits of 3D in education? (At the risk of stating the obvious, perhaps there is something here we need to share with campus technology executives.)
Chinnock: Some topics are just easier to teach if you can visualize it in 3D.... 3D may also be more helpful in engaging students and can create a marketing value proposition for the school.
Harrison: What are the different technologies currently vying for market share?
Chinnock: Two projector solutions can be crafted using LCD, LCOS, or DLP technology. These can feature polarization methods to separate the two images at the eye (and at the projector) or spectral filtering methods. If you want a single projector solution that works by doubling the frame rate to 120 Hz (60 Hz/eye), the only solution today is DLP. These require active shutter glasses to open and shut the electronic filter in front of each eye in synchronization with the L/R eye images.
Harrison: Who are the major manufacturing players driving the current trends and what roles are they playing?
Chinnock: New education players noted above. They are working with content creators to enable more use in the classroom.
Harrison: Which of those have the best chances of sticking in education? And why?
Chinnock: I think all of them see education and these 3D projectors as a big new opportunity, so all should aggressively focus on this. Hard to say which ones will be here in three years, however.
Harrison: What are the roadblocks of 3D's adoption in education?
Chinnock: Content and the cost of 3D active shutter glasses. Who will pay for it?
Harrison: Assuming standards was one of the answers, where are we with standardization?
Chinnock: Standards may be an issue, particularly with content format standards. There are also many ways to do 3D, but right now, single DLP using the DLP Link protocol for the shutter glasses control looks to be in the driver's seat.
Harrison: Anything else?
Chinnock: We need to educate the education community about the technology, the options, the content availability and the benefits. This will take some time and effort (but you are now starting it!)

Newquay Activity Centre is home to our site specific Coasteer Centre, Coastline Coasteer
Wearing a wetsuit, a buoyancy aid and a helmet, you'll see a side to our beautiful craggy cliff line that you simply wouldn't know existed: smugglers' caves, natural sluices, incredible marine life, all combined with the adrenaline rush of jumping from cliffs into the sea. Coastline Coasteering provide an incredible buzz that you simply can't replicate elsewhere.
You'll be taught new skills to help you negotiate your way from a course starting point in one of Newquay's natural inlets all the way to a finish point up to a kilometre away. But Coasteering Newquay isn't a race – it's about swimming with the swell, using the tide, clambering through caves, marvelling at the towering cliffs, and being guided through natural sea water sluices and whirl pools.
We have many Newquay coasteering routes to choose from, each one offering something slightly different: The North Coast Challenge; The Low Tide Explorer; The Eco Coasteer, Adventure Gulley, The Family/Private Coasteer, The Advanced Coasteer and the Jet Ski Coasteer.
The Family / Private Group Coasteer
Intensity level: Low-High Your choice!!!
Guaranteed small group coasteers specifically designed around the capability and wishes of the whole group.
The Eco Coasteer
Intensity level: Low-med
Coasteering is a unique opportunity to see the local coastline from a close up perspective. With our experienced and knowledgeable coasteer leaders you will be guided through caves, sluices and whirlpools that all provide delicate and unusual ecosystems for the local wildlife to flourish in.
The Low tide Coasteer
Intensity level: low-Medium
As the tide recedes the once deep and mystical coastline becomes exposed, opening up a completely new and adventurous route. The low tide coasteer leads you on a tour through dark, water filled caves home to friendly grey seals and opens your eyes to the incredible local indigenous wildlife around the rigid coastal geology.
The Advanced Coasteer
Intensity: High
Not challenged enough from the other options? Still frothing for more coasteer action but would like to try a different route? The Advanced coasteer is guaranteed to fill your boots with increased action and adrenalin around undisturbed and in accessible parts of the Cornish coastline.
The Jet Coasteer
Intensity level: High
New and Totally Unique to Coastline Coasteer!
We've taken the incredible coasteer adventure and gone one better, through the use of man and machine! The Jet Coasteer experience will see participant's coasteering through awesome sluice rides, rock jumps, whirl pool negotiation, and enjoying the general coasteer tour features. But part way through the mission we add an awesome twist.
The North Coast Challenge
Intensity level: Medium to High
Once the Newquay tide has pushed in prepare yourself for breathtaking leaps of up to 10 metres from overhanging ledges and to be spun around in swirling whirlpools. Then compose yourself for challenging coasteering traverses and feel the rush of swimming through fast running gullies.
Adventure Gulley
Intensity level: Medium
Receiving rave reviews, this coasteer involves a nimble yet fascinating cut along cliffs and rocks overlooking Newquay Bay. With less swimming involved, you'll be confronted by an awesome cave ripe with features for exploration, taxing yet fun traverses, and you'll negotiate epic jumps including a bold leap into a deep water gulley.
We're the only Coasteer company in Newquay with our own centre that includes changing rooms, showering facilities, regularly in-house trained staff, and exemplary safety standards.

Kimberley Stewart and daughter Kennedy, 10, have had to move several times since being displaced by Katrina.
Finding the miracles in the tragedy
Kimberley Stewart made a fateful decision nearly three years ago, as Hurricane Katrina was bearing down on New Orleans East. She and her daughter, Kennedy, tried to ride out the storm in her mother's second-floor apartment. Four days later, they had to be rescued by boat, then were transferred to an Army truck and finally put on a bus to Lafayette.
"We didn't really know where we were going," Stewart recalled. "We were just going wherever they took us."
Stewart, her daughter and her mother were dropped off at the Cajundome in Lafayette, with about 10,000 other displaced people. Local residents were eager to help, but housing was scarce in Lafayette. Church organizations sprang into action, moving people to wherever they had family.
But Stewart didn't have any relatives who could take them in.
Refuge in Georgia
On impulse, she accepted an offer to go to Dawsonville, Georgia, where members of the Father's House church stood ready to do whatever they could to help families in need.
"We have been so blessed," Stewart said. "From the guy who rescued us in the boat, God just rolled out a red carpet and moved us right along, where we needed to be. At every step of the way, he has said, 'Go there next.'"
The congregation in Dawsonville helped Stewart find a job, helped her get an apartment and even bought her a used car.
"Before the hurricane, I had a brand-new car, that I had saved up for forever," Stewart said. "I stood on my mom's balcony and watched it go under the water. But, you know, that's OK.
"It's still emotional," she added. "But I don't want it to sound tragic, because we were very blessed. I mean that."
Riding out the storm
Why didn't she evacuate before Katrina?
"Yes, I had a brand-new car, but who could afford to get a hotel room somewhere?" she said. "That's why we decided to stay. At the last minute, when I saw the scary, grim look on all the city officials' faces, I decided we would try to leave. But by then, we couldn't get gas. Stations were auctioning it off."
Stewart, who had lived in New Orleans all her life, had some difficulty adjusting to live in North Georgia.
"One thing I could never get used to in Georgia was the driving," she said. "I lived in Dawsonville and worked in Alpharetta, and it took me an hour to get to and from. Some of my co-workers drove for two hours each way. Some of my friends who evacuated to Texas say the same thing. You live most of your life in your car."
Still, Stewart and her daughter lived in Dawsonville for nearly two years, returning to Louisiana only after they qualified for a Habitat house.
"I just see so much more than a house, you know? I'll be able to build equity. I'll be able to send Kennedy to college. Since the mortgage is so cheap, maybe I can go back to school. I won't have to work a job and a half or two jobs. I just see so much more than a house."
Kennedy, now 10, had always been on the honor roll before Katrina, but her grades slipped during the family's long displacement. Now living in a rental house in New Orleans while they wait for construction to begin on their Habitat house, Kennedy is doing much better. Her best friend from Dawsonville visited during Mardi Gras this year.
An employee of a medical supply company before the storm, Stewart starts a new job soon working security at the New Orleans airport. Until then, she's concentrating on her sweat equity hours toward the construction of her house.
"I was so excited to go to a construction site for the first time," she said. "Last week we were building a wall, and I was hammering away. I kept saying, 'I feel like a real carpenter!'"
Kennedy is excited about settling somewhere for good.
"She keeps saying, 'OK, Mom, when we move into that house, that's ours, right? We won't have to move again?' And I tell her, 'Yes, that's our home.' "
A few family photos are all that remain from their old house, and yet Stewart insists that her story has many more blessings than misfortunes.
"I can't even say it was a tragedy," Stewart said. "It was so nice to see God show up everywhere, every step of the way."

St. Tammany West, Louisiana: 30 homes for displaced families
Before Hurricane Katrina, Habitat for Humanity St. Tammany West was on a five-year strategic growth plan to add five homes a year to its production and reach 30 homes a year by 2008.
"So much for planning," said Maureen Clary, executive director of the affiliate. "We built 42 homes last year and plan to build 50 this year and 50 next."
Clary, a board member at the time of the storm, decided to leave a 25-year career in commercial real estate development and property management to go full time with Habitat.
"It was the best decision I ever made—or that God made for me," Clary said.
St. Tammany Parish, located in the metro New Orleans area just north of Lake Pontchartrain, has absorbed much of the workforce population from Orleans and St. Bernard parishes, pushing the limits of infrastructure in the cities of Covington, Mandeville and surrounding communities.
"Many families who thought they would return to New Orleans have found jobs, good schools, access to health care, and have decided to stay," Clary said. "We are still seeing trends of two, three and four families sharing homes."
A recent study shows a need for 10,000 workforce housing units by 2009 in St. Tammany. The affiliate consistently has a waiting list of 200 to 300 families who need homes.
For this year's Carter Work Project, the St. Tammany West affiliate will lead more than 300 volunteers from the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan and Australia to build 10 houses in West Abita Nursery in Covington in the five-day blitz build. In addition, 20 more houses will either be started or dedicated as part of the Carter Project.

Join us as we celebrate Vinyl Record Day on the Kitchen Sink 10 to 12 Show Wednesday August 12th at 10:00 p.m.
Join us on the Kitchen Sink 10 to 12 Show on TUESDAY August 18th at 10:00 p.m. with our very special guest Mr. Bob Andrews.

Sometime after 10:30 or so - Tuesday July 21, 2009 - Kitchen Sink.
New Orleans flautist Hart McNee passed away July 14, 2009, at the age of 66. A memorial will be held at 5 p.m. on Saturday, July 18, at Sound Café on Port and Chartres in the Bywater.
Whether it's the Buddy Bolden Blues by Jelly Roll Morton or Marie Laveau by any number of songwriters, New Orleanians have been immortalized through lyrics.

Greenhill Mine, South Phoenix Mine, Minions, Linkinhorne, Liskeard District, Cornwall, England, UK
A small tin mine which was started around 1830. In 1836, it was amalgamated with other small mines in the area to form the Cornwall Great United Mines. After this group was dissolved a few years later, it lay idle until 1847, when it was amalgamated with nearby Wheal Prosper to form South Phoenix Mine.

Under a rule change imposed by Major League Baseball for 2013 season, pitchers are no longer be allowed to fake a pickoff to third base and throw to first as a way to dupe a runner on first base into breaking for second. That move is now a balk.
If a pitcher steps to 3rd, he must throw to 3rd. Pitchers can still step off the rubber and fake to third.
OVYBL Umpires are asked to enforce this rule. MLB Rule 8.05(c).
All Umpires and Officials are required to take the following 30 minute course. Associations competing within the OVYBL are asked to enforce that thier managers and coaches also take the course. Policies and Procedure docs can be found in the menu to the left under Printable Docs.
Per ORC 3707.52 as enacted by Ohio HB 143 of the 129th General Assembly, ODH is required to post free training programs that train coaches and referees in recognizing the signs and symptoms of concussions and head injuries.
The following free online trainings have been approved by the Ohio Department of Health for coaches and referees:
National Federation of State High School Associations Concussion in Sports - What you Need to Know: http://www.nfhslearn.com/electiveDetail.aspx?courseID=38000 (This free on-line course is available through the NFHS. You will need to click the "order here" button and complete a brief registration form to take the course.) Follow these steps to complete the course:
PLEASE NOTE: The course offers a "certificate of completion" upon successful passage. The NFHS course allows organizations to search for and track coaches who have completed the course.
The primary features that distinguish Pony baseball from Little League baseball are those of a two year age bracket system and scaled diamonds. Additionally, Pony teaches lead offs and base stealing starting at age 9 (Mustang Division), or earlier while pitchers learn pick off moves and holding runners on base to counter the potential steal.In organizations, such as Little League, player age can differ by as much as 3 years within a division. As a result, the younger players, because of their lack of maturity, ability and size, find it hard to communicate with the older players. They often find themselves spending a disproportionate amount of time on the bench and may feel disconnected from their team. With players of only two ages involved, as is the case with Pony baseball, it is far easier to permit every player to play more positions since the difference in skills within the age groups is not that great.In addition, Pony baseball scales the size of the diamonds to match the physical capabilities of the players within each division. The base and pitching dimensions for Pony baseball are:
These base dimensions are the result of extensive experimentation to determine the size on which players of each age group can properly play the game of baseball. Pitching distance is also scaled to the ability of the player and in proportion to the size of the diamond.The scaled diamonds allow the players to make the plays made by major leaguers. Home runs become a possibility. Outfielders can play in a position proportionate to that played by a major leaguer. The double play, squeeze play and various strategies and tactics, difficult for adults and nearly impossible for youngsters on a full size diamond, become a probability rather than impossibility.

Clearwire, Sprint, Sirius: Tech Premarket
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Clearwire (CLWR) was once again the big mover in premarket trading, reversing Monday's gains by tumbling 17.1% to $2.23 early Tuesday.
Shares of the Bellevue, Wash.-based company closed up 15.95% on Monday after key partner Sprint Nextel (S) announced its merger with Japanese telecom giant Softbank. The merger prompted speculation that Sprint, Clearwire's largest shareholder, will acquire the 4G specialist.
On Monday, however, Bloomberg, citing sources with direct knowledge of the situation, reported that Sprint has no immediate plans to take over Clearwire.
Clearwire was also the most active premarket Nasdaq stock on share volume of 5,167,913.Sprint shares rose 0.35% to $5.71 before market open. Sirius XM (SIRI) was another active premarket Nasdaq stock, rising 0.71% to $2.82 on volume of 246,395. Apple (AAPL) shares rose 0.26% to $636.40 on share volume of 95,070 IBM (IBM), which reports its third-quarter results after market close on Tuesday, crept up 0.19% to $209.33 in premarket trading. Intel (INTC), which also reports its third-quarter results on Tuesday, gained 0.6% to reach $21.86. The No. 1 chipmaker lowered its third-quarter revenue outlook last month, citing the the effects of a tough economic environment. --Written by James Rogers in New York.

The Bicycle Academy
The Bicycle Academy is truly inspirational.
The Bicycle Academy teaches people how to make bikes. You keep the skills and give your first bike to someone who really needs it. They give people the lessons, skills and kit to design and make their own bikes. But there's a big difference.
Each student at The Bicycle Academy will make a bike designed especially to use in Africa. Students keep the skills they learn and their first bike will go to someone who really needs it. Once they've made their frame for Africa, graduates can come back to our workshop to hone their skills and build their own frames. Everyone wins.
We're were very honoured to be asked to produce their jersey, which can now be bought direct through their own online store.

Neuro Rehabilitation Day Treatment
|Brooks Day Treatment is designed to help patients improve cognitively, physically, socially and emotionally.
Our comprehensive approach to brain injury begins at Brooks Rehabilitation Hospital, where we provide a full range of therapies and a highly trained staff experienced in every aspect of brain injury recovery. It continues in our unique Day Treatment program.
After hospitalization, one of the most valuable steps patients who have a brain injury can take is to participate in our Brain Injury Day Treatment program. This program, along with outpatient therapy, helps to ease the transition from acute care or inpatient rehabilitation to home. It was created to help patients improve cognitive/thinking, communication ability, social skills and emotional stability, all while the patient continues to regain physical abilities. The program creates a wonderful environment for growth, education and camaraderie.
We designed Independence Square as a
simulation of the real world, where patients
can relearn the activities and tasks of
everyday life such as shopping for groceries.
To determine the intensity and length of treatment that will be most beneficial for the patient, care begins with a comprehensive neurobehavioral status exam, or a neuropsychological evaluation. Customized therapy is then available up to four times per week. Physical, occupational, speech and cognitive rehabilitation therapy, as well as psychology and biofeedback are provided in a combination of small group and one-on-one sessions. The treatment team meets weekly to discuss each patient's goals and progress.
There is even a continuum of care within the Brain Injury Day Treatment program. Three modules have been developed to address home, social and community/work skills. A patient can begin the program at any stage, depending on his or her needs. Through a self-rating system, 99% of the participants in this program rated themselves as better than they were before entering.
Please call (904) 858-7223 to learn more.

Press Release
WFF Will Complete District Realignment March 1
February 23, 2010
The Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (ADCNR) Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries Division (WFF) will complete its district realignment on March 1 in a move expected to save $650,000 annually.
Under the realignment, the Prattville District Office will close at the end of February, and the counties currently in District IV will be absorbed by the remaining five districts. The attrition of supervisory-level positions will account for a significant portion of the cost savings.
The restructuring plan addresses the effects of the economic downturn on WFF, which is self-supporting through the sale of hunting and fishing licenses and corresponding federal funds.
"License-buying hunters and anglers provide funds for the operation of the Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries Division, and we have a strong sense of responsibility to be as cost-effective as possible," said Corky Pugh, WFF Director. "The Division is sound financially, but we are dealing proactively with this economic downturn to ensure programs and services to the public are not affected in the future."
The present number of field-level conservation enforcement officers and biologists should not be affected by the change.
"People should not be able to tell any difference in the service to the public," Conservation Commissioner Barnett Lawley said. "The proximity of Prattville to the main offices in Montgomery will allow Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries personnel to respond to any situation or need that arises. Corky Pugh and his Section Chiefs are to be commended for taking the initiative to make these cost-saving changes."
Please see the attached map for the configuration and contact information for the five districts.
The Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources promotes wise stewardship, management and enjoyment of Alabama's natural resources through five divisions: Marine Police, Marine Resources, State Parks, State Lands, and Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries.

The links to the theoretical knowledge should be read and the workbook completed prior to attending the practical training session, which includes watching a video and practicing venepuncture and cannulation on a manikin arm. You are then encouraged to self-assess your performance on the subsequent ten cannulations on patients and encouraged to use the reflective log to help you learn from your experiences.
Achieving Competence
Passing the assessments and completing the process does not mean that you are competent to perform the skill on all occasions. You must decide that for yourself. The GMC document on "Good Medical Practice" requires that you:
"Recognise and work within the limits of your professional competence".
Competence to perform a skill in any situation is a matter for the individual practitioner to decide, and having decided whether to attempt the skill, the individual practitioner is accountable for the decision.
