Vaccine issue resurfaces in MontpelierVermont Press Bureau | February 07,2013One of the surprise controversies of 2012 arrived at the Legislature in the form of a bill that sought to rescind the philosophical exemption invoked by hundreds of parents across Vermont to sidestep school vaccination requirements.
A grassroots coalition of well-organized citizens managed to quash the legislation, convincing lawmakers to adopt a watered-down version that made it only slightly more difficult to invoke the exemption.
One the top supporters of the 2012 bill, however, is renewing the push this year to address what he says are alarmingly low vaccination rates in pockets of the state.
Rep. George Till, a Jericho Democrat and the lone medical doctor in the Legislature, wants to remove both the philosophical and religious exemptions for the vaccination that prevents pertussis aka whooping cough. And at public schools where the vaccination rate drops below 90 percent, Till has a separate bill that would revoke the religious and philosophical exemptions for any vaccination.
Till says the pertussis problem is particularly acute, growing from 18 confirmed cases in 2010 to 645 in 2012.
And in 2012 that included four cases in infants, Till says. And while we got lucky and none of them died, the mortality rates for infants is 50 percent, so we really could have had a tragedy.
The second bill would take a school-by-school approach to the vaccination issue, eliminating the religious and philosophical exemptions only at public schools that fall below the 90 percent threshold. When rates for any single vaccination fell below that mark, Till says, his bill would require all current and prospective students to have the vaccine administered. Parents that didnt comply wouldnt be allowed to send their children to the school. Till says the bill preserves the medical exemption.
Rep. Mike Fisher, chairman of the House Committee on Health Care (on which Till also sits), doesnt sound keen on revisiting the vaccine issue.
He says the House dedicated a lot of time to the issue last year.
We addressed vaccinations last year, and I think we should give that law time to play out before coming back to it, Fisher says. I dont think were interested in taking it up at this time.
In a report submitted last week to the Legislature, Commissioner of Health Harry Chen said the most effective way to protect immunocompromised students is to require universal immunization.MORE IN Vermont NewsEPA lauds energy Full StoryWoodlands group Full StoryCar slides into Full Story

Papa's Pilar Rum at Tales of the Cocktail: A Spirited Dinner Hemingway Would Have Loved
At Tales of the Cocktail, the five-day celebration of spirited libations in New Orleans, there is much to do. The entire French Quarter, not known for its sobriety on any given day, is turned into an open bar of sorts, with spirits companies hiring the best bartenders in the United States to shake cocktails in hotel ballrooms, local restaurants, and even on the streets.
All photos by Laine Doss Drinking to Hemingway at Tales of the Cocktail.
In addition to the tasting rooms and seminars, one of the premiere events of the weekend is the Spirited Dinner series, where guests are treated to a multiple course themed dinner at some of New Orleans best restaurants -- paired with cocktails, of course.
Clean Plate Charlie was invited to join Philip Greene, co-founder of the Museum of the American Cocktail and author of the book, To Have and Have Another, A Hemingway Cocktail Companion, for the "Libations in the Stream" spirited dinner, at Criollo Restaurant & Lounge in the Historic Hotel Monteleone. The dinner was produced in partnership with Papa's Pilar Rum, a spirit named after Ernest Hemingway's beloved boat, Pilar, and officially licensed by the Hemingway family. As the meal was served, Greene entertained us with stories of Hemingway and his thirst for adventure and the perfect drink.
The five-course dinner featured Caribbean cuisine like butter poached lobster and crab cake, Long Boat Key Mahi Mahi, and a refreshing yellow tomato gazpacho. But it was the cocktails, created and curated by Philip Greene and Marvin Allen, the head bartender at the Monteleone's famous Carousel Bar (which actually rotates), that stole the hearts and minds of the diners.
Each cocktail reflected the spirit of Hemingway, a man who not only liked to imbibe, but who often wrote passionately about cocktails (and created a few). Some drinks were takes on classics, some were created for the evening. As we raised our glasses, it felt as if the spirit of the author was in the room with us. And, in New Orleans, one of the most haunted cities in the world, it was quite possible he was right there enjoying a daiquiri along with us.
Here are some recipes so you can relieve New Orleans at home:
1 1/2 oz. Papa's Pilar Blonde Rum
1/2 oz. fresh grapefruit juice
1/2 oz. fresh lime juice
1 tsp. maraschino liquor
Shake with ice, strain into a chilled glass.

That is the hard drive activity indicator light and it blinking is normal. The computer keeps working in the background and this light may blink or stay lit even when you aren't using the computer.

There are a whole host of new theatre projects by Curtis Brown clients this Spring. Below are more details on these exciting upcoming projects:
Precious Little Talent: Ella Hickson's first full-length play opens at Trafalgar Studios on the 5th April, in a new production directed by James Dacre. The play dovetails together two stories; that of a father struglling not to forget his daughter and his daughter struggling not to be forgotten by the world; and a romance that pitches American optimism against British cynicism. Starring Anthony Welsh and Ian Gelder.
The Vaudevillains: Original and enthralling theatre company Les Enfants Terrible open their newest show at the Charing Cross Theatre on the 19th April. Written by Oliver Lansley, The Vaudevillains, is a music hall murder mystery. Charlie, the owner of the Empire theatre, has been found dead and everyone is a suspect as we find out more about the weird and wonderful acts that make up the bill.
Nick Payne's new version of Sophocles classic tragedy Electra opens at The Gate Theatre in London on 7th April. The tale is bloody, violent and terrifying and promises to be claustrophic in the Gate's small theatre.
The Roundabout Season: Paines Plough present the world premieres of plays by Duncan Macmillan and Nick Payne. Performed by an enemble cast of four actors these plays will open in October at the Sheffield Theatre. Duncan's play Lungs explores a young couple's relationship as they discuss having a child and the repercussions to the planet and for each other. One Day When We Were Young by Nick Payne is a moving portrayal of Leonard and Violet's sixty year relationship, spanning from World War Two to 2002, examining what was lost and what was gained.
Terminus, written and directed by Mark O'Rowe, opens at the Young Vic on April 4th in the middle of its world tour. The Abbey Theatre's production, which won the Fringe First Award in 2008, follows three people who are ripped from their daily lives and thrown into a fantastical world of singing serial killers, avenging angels and love-sick demons.
London Road, written by Alecky Blythe and directed by Rufus Norris, opens at the Cottesloe on 14th April. The lyrical drama about the Ipswich murders also stars Rosalie Craig and Kate Fleetwood.
Silence is the latest collaboration between celebrated theatre company Filter and David Farr. The play opens at Hampstead Theatre on May 14th.
Also Doctor Dee, a new work directed by Rufus Norris and composed by Damon Albarn will play 1st - 9th July at the Palace Theatre, Manchester. The piece was co-commisioned by Manchester International Festival, English National Opera and London 2012 Festival.

AN ICONIC COLLECTOR'S ITEM & LUNCHEON COMPANION Zac Posen's Antonia bag boasts a gorgeous soft design with clever, ladylike details. Fashioned in grained leather with contrasting leather trim and punctuated with golden brass hardware, the Antonia boasts a chic logo-embossed, leather-covered mirror that dangles from a link chain. Tucked into a small slot pocket on the bag's front, the design also includes a logoed hexagonal ring-pull flap and suede-lined zip pockets. Chic with golden details, rolled leather shoulder straps with wrapped leather trim, a frame top with an 8½" drop and a flat leather bottom. The bag measures 15¼" x 9½" x 4". Made in Italy. In Taupe.
Brand: Zac Posen
Zac Posen has been dazzling runway audiences since 2002, when he released his debut women's collection at the tender age of 21. Born and based in NYC, Posen masterfully recaptures the streamlined, ultra-feminine aesthetic of 1940s Hollywood with stunning wedding dresses, evening gowns, and ready-to-wear essentials that epitomize classic high glamour. Perfectly tailored pencil skirts, suit jackets, and sheath dresses receive an extra shot of drama thanks to loosely draping sleeves, gathered collars, peplum waistlines, and other flourishes. Carry your everyday needs in one of Posen's exquisite leather handbags, or channel Katherine Hepburn by slipping on a pair of his high-waist crepe pants. With threads and accessories like these, it's no wonder Posen has won over so many of modern-day Hollywood's fashion icons — from Kate Winslet to Katy Perry. If your A-list style comes with a D-list budget, fear not: in 2010 Posen released Z Spoke, a diffusion line in which the CFDA award-winning designer recreates his signature styles for budget-conscious tastemakers.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

One thing I'll say about this season of Community (to lead into all of the other things) is the the Dean has become my favorite character. How did that happen? Is it just because I've gotten tired of the rest of the characters and I never really paid attention to the Dean before so he feels fresh somehow, or is it because the Dean character has gotten better? Huh? Which is it? This isn't from last night's episode, but remember in that episode where Jeff put on sunglasses and the Dean fell to the floor because he was so stunned? Haha! That was good. Dean4life. Oratleastuntili4get. Last night's episode was fine. Certainly a bit less gimmicky than Community has been, so that was nice to see. I'm not sure how I feel about Britta's stronger presence this season, because she was definitely always one of the weaker characters, and I'm not sure putting her into larger story lines within the episodes has made her stronger. But. Whatever. TV, right? TV. I hope she and Troy get married! The Office was back last night, which was good because it meant that we did not have to watch two episodes of 30 Rock. Hahah. What a miserable writeup so far! And it's about to get worse! Did you all see that NBC is thinking of rebooting The Office after next season? It would be a reboot without any of the main characters who on the show now, because their contracts will be up at that point. CAN YOU IMAGINE? Can you even imagine how terrible that is going to be?! The Office is dead! Take the sunglasses off of it and go home! I was unable to watch 30 Rock, unfortunately. Was it good? Was the Up All Night season finale just as easy to watch as it always is? Are you all excited for Parks and Recreation to come back? GIFs?

I'm Dean Pelton's bitch.
this was the first one in a while that i genuinely enjoyed.
it beats last week, because I actually laughed….but doesn't hold up against many other episodes.
Why are you even here?
Chang is by far the worst character/aspect of the show. Everything Ken Jeong does makes me want to bleach my eyes. I still have PTSD flashbacks to his bits in The Hangover.
Kelly's running joke about Up All Night being bearable; if only there was a GIF for that.
We have been doing the Happy Endings corner for a couple of weeks now. It'll come back when the show does.
I have friends like that too but as a single dude, I still enjoy Up All Night. Mainly because of Will Arnett.
Kate | Posted on Apr 13th, 2012 +19
Many episodes are about the real baby on the show, the Ava character (Oprah). And she's great. I like Happy Endings and Up All Night because they both make me laugh. I love to laugh, ahahaha, loud and long and clea-aah.
There were two 30 Rocks again? You have made a powerful enemy, Comcast-branded DVR. A powerful enemy.
Read that wrong, going back to bed. DVR, you are still on watch.
I liked Community and 30 Rock…I can't remember the good jokes, but that might be because I had ice cream for dinner.
Dean looks better this season partly because he won an Oscar, but mostly because the study group members have all become a bunch of Jeff Wingers.
The Dean has a tiny Pirates of Penzance poster in his office, I hope it was from a production he was in. He would be a pretty great pirate king.
ANOTHER commentary on the power/need for shame? RELAX, Dan Harmon.
I love Jessica St. Clair (well, mostly her Marissa Wompler character from Comedy Bang Bang) and I think the show has potential but it's super uneven right now.
Ooof. Community dropped a bomb on me with this one: "Stop making our hatred of ourselves someone else's job and just stop hating ourselves." What followed was a moment of unexpected introspection.
Troy's text message = the new Radiohead's "Just" video.
Will we ever know what he said??
Erin's impression of Andy's worst case scenario girlfriend breakup was awesome.
It seemed like Community got a new makeup artist, or something, because Britta and Annie looked really weird. Almost like they were airbrushed (primitive Photoshopping, kids).
Yeah I was thinking the same thing. It reminded me of on Newsradio how there was one season where everyone had super weird, ill-fitting wardrobe.
Right?! Didn't Brita's eyes look particularly beady for some reason? Like her eyeballs didn't really exist and were replaced by a void.
I kept getting distracted by Annie's cleavage. It seemed…different from usual?
kate | Posted on Apr 13th, 2012 +11
Kirk Fox as Blade anyone?! Joe from Sewage! Parks and Recreation! I think I have a weird crush on him…
Am I the only one who LOLd/Spittake'd after Dean showed up at the apt and Abed said, "I need help reacting to something."
And yes, please make "Read the banana, Britta" the new "face facts" or "shit just got real"

Good Humidity Could Mean Good Business
While the value of interior humidity control has long been understood, it has recently been attracting more attention than ever.
That's because it is a key element in overall indoor environmental
quality, with high humidity closely linked to mold growth, dust mites,
and other sources of indoor allergens. High humidity can also cause
deterioration of the building itself. Excessive indoor humidity is
commonplace both
in residential and commercial buildings.
The incidence of allergies
and asthma is well on the rise, as people spend more time indoors.
Reaction to dust mite allergens figures prominently
in this increase, and the link between high humidity, even for a modest
period of the year, and dust mite proliferation is well documented.
However, when the relative humidity is consistently maintained below
50 percent,
studies show that dust mite populations virtually disappear within
a few months. Similar observations have been made about various types
of mold,
another potentially potent source of allergens and toxins.
air-conditioning equipment has a fixed proportion of sensible and latent
cooling capacity, denoted as the sensible heat ratio (SHR),
the ratio of the sensible cooling capacity to the total cooling capacity.
The remaining portion is the latent or dehumidification capacity.
The trend toward more efficient buildings (e.g., the evolution of ASHRAE
90.1) has tended to reduce sensible loads and equipment size, but
loads have remained either unaffected or have even increased. When
the latent load is higher than the latent capacity of the air-conditioner,
the indoor relative humidity rises. This also occurs in the spring
fall when humidity loads are high but the need for cooling is limited,
so equipment run times are short.
The ideal range for indoor relative
humidity (RH) is 30 to 50 percent. Below 30 percent, many people experience
dry skin, irritated respiratory
passages, and other problems such as static electricity build-up
or shrinkage of building materials. Fifty-percent RH is usually
low enough
to prevent
mold and dust mite growth. Thirty to 50 percent RH is also the
ideal range for thermal comfort, with the air dry enough to enable normal
body temperature
control mechanisms (sweating and evaporative cooling) to function
Given these issues and the potential benefits, it is
remarkable how little is actually being done about active humidity
control. It is
not a technology
problem; a wide array of equipment options exist that can control
humidity, and they are available in a range of capacities. Solutions
air-conditioners with enhanced (and controllable) latent capacity,
enthalpy recovery ventilation
systems, refrigeration-cycle-based central dehumidifiers, and
desiccant dehumidifiers. However, none of these account for a significant
portion of either residential or commercial HVAC equipment sales.
Given the
severity of humidity-related health effects, it would seem that
a major market
opportunity is being missed by the appliance and HVAC industries.
I am
only speculating, but several factors could account for the "disconnect" between
an apparently urgent need for effective year-round humidity control
and widespread adoption of available solutions:
Education of the potential
buyer: Most people are unaware of equipment
options to control humidity, even if they are aware of the need.
and cost of tailoring the solution to the situation: Diagnosing
the different causes of excessive humidity and specifying the best,
most cost-effective solution is a complex process.
The "chicken and egg" dilemma
of low-volume production and high cost: Sales growth is needed to bring
economies of scale into play
to lower prices. If priced moderately, a dehumidifier could easily be
added to a conventional central air-conditioning system.
Making the right
products available: A good example of limited product attractiveness
is the one mass-produced product in this category—the
room dehumidifier. They are inexpensive and reliable, but still sell
in modest numbers. They don't yet fully address condensate-handling
very well.
These are only a few of the factors inhibiting widespread humidity
control solutions. Appliance and HVAC equipment manufacturers are in
a great position,
by virtue of their market knowledge, reputation, brand awareness, and
presence, to turn a developing need into a major future business. As
public awareness
grows and consumers demand better indoor-air quality, significant opportunities
exist for those organizations that can produce products and related
services that truly serve the customer. Is this an option for your company?

What is POP?
POP is short for Post Office Protocol. POP is one method used by e-mail programs to retrieve e-mail from the server. The key feature of POP is that when you retrieve your mail, the messages are moved from the server to the computer you use to check mail.
What is IMAP?
IMAP is short for Internet Message Access Protocol. It is another method used by e-mail programs to retrieve mail. IMAP keeps your messages on the server. When you click to read a message, IMAP presents the message that is stored on the server. All messages are stored on the server until you delete and purge a message.
Which method am I using?
Check your e-mail program's account configuration. The incoming server will be listed either as POP or IMAP.
If you check e-mail using Microsoft Outlook on campus or through Outlook Web Access (OWA), you are using a Microsoft Exchange connection which is a different protocol. Exchange is available only on campus or through OWA.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of POP and IMAP?
Message storage limited only by the capacity of your computer.
Messages are stored on your computer. If your computer fails you may lose all your e-mail.
Mail is downloaded to computer you're using when you check e-mail. If you read your e-mail from multiple computers using POP, messages are not available from a central location.
Messages are stored on the server and not affected if your computer fails.
Easily use multiple computers or e-mail programs to read mail.
Message storage is limited to your e-mail quota.
Large amounts of mail in one mail folder can cause slow performance.
Which should I use, POP or IMAP?
The decision is yours. However, here are guidelines to help you make that decision:
If you are still unsure about which to use, or need information on how to switch from POP to IMAP (or IMAP to POP), please contact the Call Center.

Local Muslim families recently enjoyed a special 'Family Fun Day' organised by researchers from the School of Social Sciences and the Centre for Islam in the UK. More than 200 people attended the event at the Star Centre in Splott.
Those who attended were presented with a booklet of findings from the research team's recent project, examining how children of primary school age and below are brought up to be Muslims. For the study, the team interviewed 60 Muslim families in Cardiff, observed religious practices, and asked children to keep oral diaries.
As the focus of the research was on young children, activities at the event included soft play, balloon modelling, face painting and a bouncy castle, as well as halal food. It was supported by the University's Community Engagement Team.
At another recent event, 80 practitioners in the fields of health, social care and education heard about the results from the study and their implications for public services. The free seminar was designed to increase practitioner knowledge of working with Muslim children and their families.
The research is funded by the Religion and Society Programme, a collaboration between the Arts and Humanities Research Council and the Economic and Social Research Council.

text: Blog List Apr 2 2013 Basket Full of Gratitude By: Diane Fisher Category: Blackstone LaunchPad at Walsh College Permalink | Read Comments (0) | Add a Comment | Subscribe 0 As the Admin Assistant for Blackstone LaunchPad, I often find inspirational entrepreneurial quotes to post on our Face book page. One of my recent posts was a quote from Eric Schmidt, former CEO of Google, who once stated: "Find a way to say 'Yes' to things." As I reflect on my past experiences with Blackstone LaunchPad members, I have come to realize that they each believe in the power of "Yes." From time to time, I have to place calls to action out to our community of entrepreneurs. And, each time I do, they never let me down. Whenever I ask for support or donations, they are always willing to say "Yes," despite their busy schedules and lack of funds, since most of them are true startups. Recently, I sent an email to our Blackstone LaunchPad members, asking if they would donate an item from their business for the "Made in Michigan" basket that LaunchPad was preparing for a silent auction, which occurred during the 4th annual Walsh College Alumni Association's Casino Night. I received an overwhelming response and our basket was overflowing with the members' fine products. They personally delivered their items either on their way to work, in between a meeting, during their lunch hour, before class, or by email. I am very proud to be associated with such a special group of entrepreneurs who just naturally "pay it forward." As a result of their generosity, the Walsh College Alumni Association was so impressed with our basket that it even became the silent auction's official VIP Raffle Prize! So, thanks to the following "VIP" donors: Steve Johnson of Motor City Brew Tours, Stephanie Comptois of Bear Necessities, Denise Kulak of Fun Stuff!, Anthony Mitchell of National Mother's Hall of Fame, Anthony Majewski of Read with Max and eMarketing, Nicole Sesko of Growable Greetings, and Brian Renner of Movie Insider. In conclusion, Eric Schmidt ends his quote with the following: "Yes is what keeps us all young. It's a tiny word that can do big things. Say it often." After witnessing the generosity of our LaunchPad members firsthand, I truly believe that, by saying "Yes," each member can – and will continue to – accomplish "big things."

wow i have been SOOOOO busy! yesterday all day i went downstate to u of i with killian and howie to visit howie's older brother, jake. hes 22 and not all that good looking but DAMN some of his friends were! so killian and howie came over without any warning at 7 in the damn morning yesterday asking if i wanted to go with. i can never turn down an adventure / road trip so i was like hell yes. i think i need to stop spending all of my time with anna. im beginning to think its not even worth it, chances are she will never know how i feel and chances are if she did she wouldnt return them. so yea, we drove to u of i and visited jake at his frat house, met all his friends and stuff in the fraternity. there was a party going on that night at some other frat house so we went to that. we were already sort of drunk upon arrival bc we had been playing a drinking game for like a half-hour b4 we left. it was me, killian, jake, (howie was the "sober" one), and jake's 4 friends pete, greg, anthony, and zack. i had only had 2 shots, but it was wild turkey so i was feeling it. so we went to this party and it was SO crowded. like i seriously thought every single person at u of i must have been there. i mean yea we have parties where we live but nothing like that! you could barely even move! killian and i were walking around with howie, anthony, and zakk and zakk breaks out the acid. he had like five tabs. ive never done acid before and if i ever were to try it, i wouldnt want to be at some huge, crowded, unfamiliar party. so i declined but killian and zakk decided to trip. which is fucked up insane cuz i remember when killian was total str8-edge and didnt touch any drugs and rarely drank. me and anna had to coax her to take shots and that was just when we'd be bored at home, just the 3 of us!!! howie was kind of pissed at killian for tripping too but he didnt say nething. only after killian laid the acid on her tongue did zakk mention that a trip will usually last about 8 hours. 8 FUCKING HOURS!!! and we were supposed to be driving killian home...the drive to where we are from u of i is only 4 HOURS. so killian's tripping mad style, like ppl are melting in front of her and shes trying to find a waterfall or some shit, howie is on his last nerve, jake is nowhere to be found, zakk leaves us as soon as his trip starts and leaves almost right away with some drunk girl, anthony sees his ex-gf all over some other guy and gets really upset so he leaves the entire party, the 2 other guys we were playin drinking games with decided not to come 2 the party, and im slightly drunk well drunk enuf that im unable to think clearly & everything is kinda funny. so needless 2 say, we found an empty bedroom in the frat house that was hosting the party and crashed there.this morning we didnt wake up till 1 in the afternoon!!! howie was all panicked and shook me awake and killian was so drained after tripping that all she wanted 2 do was lay around and sleep. so we hightailed it back here and i called my mom...i told her that i was sleeping at killian's house and spendin yesterday with her family...she was really pissed (today was her day off) and was like "Why do i think ur not at killian's?" and all this shit. so i made up this lie on the spot that like i didnt know that when killian invited me it was that her whole family was spending a night at some fancy hotel about an hour away. luckily my mom believed me. im an excellent actress. so i got home just about a minute ago and my mom is making dinner...she only just now informs me that my aunts visiting from paris are coming over today w/ their families for dinner and shit. come on, ive been up all night, im a little hungover, the last thing i want to do is entertain the french side of my entire family. but oh well. shit the doorbell is ringing, that must be them i gotta hop into the shower and at least look A LITTLE presentable for dinner so cya.ps. all those wo ndering about travis? i actually havent talked to him since "that night". well then again my cell phone has been out of range most of the time since then since ive been 4 hours downstate at u of i. hmm only time will tell i guess!!
ok so i just have to vent! sure enough, i took a shower and came downstairs to greet my family. not to mention that ever since my mom got divorced her older sisters have treated her like some poor little wench but they also feel the need to point out every imperfection in ME and say how their kids are so much better. my mom went all out, she made duck l'orange, baked potatos, garlic bread, and even had real french wine and mousse for dessert. so i ate and was making my polite conversation when my auntie claudine (shes the oldest, shes 55?) and her husband paul literally WATCH as there little shit 4 brains daughter spills her wine all over moms white carpet. do we get an apology? an offer to help clean it up even? nope, the assholes sit and LAUGH as mom scrubs anxiosly at the stain which by the way is still there. claudine and paul have two little monsters, jacqueline the bitch that thought spilling wine on the carpet was so fucking funny, whos 21 and vivienne whos 15 and a jacqueline in training. they have this thing like they think there so much better than everybody. god if they thought it was such a joke to be out here and such a joke to visit there family then why the hell did they come anyways?? so then my other aunt yvette (shes the other one that live(d)s in france shes 50 tho..mom is 45 and her lil brother who also lives in the states but in vermont and we never hear from him is 38)...oh yea so then my other aunt yvette makes some stupid joke in rapidfire french...i understand french hell ive been speaking it and taught it since i was learning english but she spoke so fast i couldnt tell what exactly she said but my mom obviously caught it cuz her face turned pale as a ghost and she looked like she was about 2 cry. yvette is divorced from my ex uncle lars, this swedish dude. they had 1 kid who lives in london, henri, whos 27 but we never see/hear/talk 2 him so w/e. i dont think even his own parents talk 2 him much. so it was the dinner from hell and when i finished i excused myself to go call anna or travis and try n make planz tonight but of course i had 2 entertain vivienne. so we drove to baskin robbins to get ice cream and she refused to speak the whole time. just crossed her arms and looked bored whenever i tried to make friendly conversation. it was so awkward and so horrible. so when we got back (quickest ice cream ever let me tell u) i just stomped up to my room, locked the door, and called anna. she was home but couldnt go out cuz she had to go 2 work in like an hour (she workz at target; they needed help w/ clean-up after closing) but we talked and stuff. okay she made yet another 3 count em, 3 jokes about becoming gay cuz shes so sick of guys! i was impressed n pleased :) anyway, ugh ive been hiding out in my room and i just finished watching empire records. good movie!! oh man now im being summoned downstairs 2 say good-bye to the "french rat pack" cuz there leaving 4 the night. couldnt be soon enuf for me. i think im just gonna go 2 bed after i say my good-byes.hell i was partying all day mostly yesterday and all night. i need my sleep!!! :)

This key enables other applications to access data from within Indico even when you are neither using nor logged into the Indico system yourself with the link provided. Once created, you can manage your key at any time by going to 'My Profile' and looking under the tab entitled 'HTTP API'. Further information about HTTP API keys can be found in the Indico documentation.
I have read and understood the above.
In conjunction with a having a key associated with your account, to have the possibility of exporting private event information necessitates the creation of a persistent key. This new key is also associated with your account and whilst it is active the data which can be obtained through using this key can be obtained by anyone in possession of the link provided. Due to this reason, it is extremely important that you keep links generated with this key private and for your use only. If you think someone else may have acquired access to a link using this key in the future, you must immediately remove it from 'My Profile' under the 'HTTP API' tab and generate a new key before regenerating iCalendar links.
