So, I was trying to hang a trivet on the side of a cabinet above my sink. The nail dropped into the sink and went into the disposal. I tried to get it out but it had already slid down into the grinder (I don't know what it is called.) How can I get it out?

Gosh, from the subject title, I thought you wanted to nail down a disposal. Why would anyone want to nail a disposal to something? ;-) Ah yes, a nail went down inside. That makes more sense. Use either an extensible magnetic pickup tool, or one of those grabbers with a set of claws that extends from a flexible shaft. I keep both of them around for just those times when something falls into an inconvenient place. John |

Compact & Comfortable
An open-plan kitchen puts efficiency first
By Cheryl Weber
It's the down side of city living. Along with the perks of easy access to restaurants, shopping and entertainment, urban dwellers are often faced with tiny apartments and even tinier kitchens. But small can be smart, and this apartment, in Brooklyn, New York, is a rewarding case in point. The owner, Rima Shore, thinks of her 800-square-foot home as a boat. While not right on the water, it has lovely views of New York Harbor and the Statue of Liberty. As part of a gut renovation, she asked kitchen designer Elsa Kessler, who has since moved to San Francisco, to give her a warm, spaceefficient kitchen worthy of a yacht.

Dish brings up alleged bribery case as fight with SoftBank for Sprint gets nasty
Posted By Andy Vuong On April 30, 2013 @ 11:40 am In FCC,General,Sprint,Technology,Telecommunications | 4 Comments
The gloves are coming off in the battle between Dish Network [3] and SoftBank for Sprint Nextel [4], the nation's No. 3 wireless carrier.
In a letter submitted to the Federal Communications Commission, which is reviewing SoftBank's $20 billion deal to acquire 70 percent of Sprint, Dish draws attention to a years-old investigation by the Justice Department into UTStarcom, a telecommunications equipment maker that was chaired by SoftBank's billionaire founder Masayoshi Son.
UTStarcom allegedly paid for $7 million in trips for Chinese government officials with hopes of obtaining telecom sales contracts. The company paid $1.5 million to settle the investigation, which covered 2002 to 2007, without admitting guilt, according to a Politico report. Son was on the board of UTStarcom from 1995 to 2004, serving as chairman for all but the final year.
"According to the DOJ agreement, (UTStarcom) 'corruptly gave' all-expenses-paid-vacations 'to employees of government controlled telecommunications companies in the People's Republic of China' and then improperly accounted for such trips as having a 'training' purpose," Dish states in the FCC letter, dated Monday.
Trade publications TR Daily and Politico reported on the previously under-the-radar case over the past week.
Tokyo-based SoftBank told both publications that "the alleged activities at UTStarcom had nothing to do with Softbank or Mr. Son." SoftBank hasn't responded to an email request for comment from The Post.
Dish told the FCC that "this information is relevant to the public interest analysis of the proposed transaction, and that it is incumbent upon the proposed transferee SoftBank to provide a full explanation of these matters."
Douglas County-based Dish launched a competing bid [5] for Sprint on April 15, proposing to acquire the wireless carrier for $25.5 billion in cash and stock.
In Tokyo on Tuesday, Son went on the offensive at a packed news conference [6], slamming Dish's deal as inferior to Sprint's agreement with SoftBank.
"Our price offer is better than theirs. Our timing is one year quicker at least. Our leverage is much more healthy," Son said, according to Reuters.
A combined Dish, the nation's third-largest pay-TV provider, and Sprint would carry a hefty net-debt load of about $43 billion.
Son also criticized Dish chairman Charlie Ergen for the company's "ugly" litigation battles, while SoftBank has friendly partnerships with the likes of Google and Intel. This week, Intel's CEO [7] expressed support for the SoftBank deal in an email to FCC chairman Julius Genachowski.

BOSTON — Two of the most memorable seasons in Red Sox history culminated with a World Series matchup against the St. Louis Cardinals. It's only fitting that this season of historic improbability will end the same way.
With their dramatic Game Six win over the Detroit Tigers at Fenway Park on Saturday night, the Red Sox punched a ticket to their third World Series in 10 years. They'll host the National League champion Cardinals in Game One on Wednesday.
It'll be the fourth time Boston will take on the Cardinals in the World Series. The last time the two teams met in the Fall Classic was the curse-breaking 2004 season, before that the "Impossible Dream" 1967 season — and even before that came 1946, the lone World Series in the career of Ted Williams.
Postseason baseball sometimes can be a crapshoot, but arguably the two most well-rounded organizations in baseball will meet in the World Series.
Everything that Theo Epstein and now Ben Cherington have aspired to do in building the Red Sox from within, Walt Jocketty and now John Mozeliak have done with St. Louis. The Cardinals have developed one of the most impressive farm systems in baseball, absorbing the loss of no less a player than franchise icon Albert Pujols and emerging even stronger from it.
(There might be no better validation for the Cardinals' decision not to spend more than $200 million to retain Pujols than this: St. Louis used its compensatory selection for the loss of Pujols to draft Michael Wacha, the 22-year-old who threw seven shutout innings in the Cardinals' Game Six clincher against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday.)
Other than All-Star outfielders Carlos Beltran and Matt Holliday, all of the Cardinals' most significant players either were developed from within or obtained in trades before they reached the major leagues. Homegrown catcher Yadier Molina will receive National League MVP votes this season, and outfielder Allen Craig (eighth-round pick in 2006), second baseman Matt Carpenter (13th-round pick in 2009) and third baseman David Freese (obtained in 2007 in a trade for Jim Edmonds) all have been key contributors.
St. Louis has leaned heavily on two pitchers in particular — the precocious Wacha, less than 18 months removed from being drafted out of Texas A&M, and ace Adam Wainwright, perhaps the most anonymous great pitcher in the major leagues. Either one could pitch Game One for the Cardinals.
Wainwright first rose to prominence when he froze future teammate Beltran with a curveball to clinch Game Seven of the 2006 NLCS. He was a closer then. He made the transition to starting the following year, and he's been one of the best in the game ever since. He has a 3.10 ERA in more than 1,200 innings pitched in six seasons since, including top-three Cy Young Award finishes in 2009 and 2010 and perhaps another after a 2013 season in which he posted a 2.94 ERA in a league-leading 2412/3 innings pitched.
One year ago at this time, Wacha had made all of two professional starts — both in the Gulf Coast League. But he jumped to Triple-A Memphis out of spring training this year and made his major-league debut on May 30. He posted what already was an impressive 2.83 ERA in nine starts in the regular season, but he's been jaw-dropping good in the postseason, yielding only a single earned run in 21 innings pitched.
The St. Louis offense revolves around Beltran, the preeminent postseason performer of his generation. Beltran has gotten on base at a .383 clip and slugged .538 in 47 appearances in the playoffs this year. He's had 16 career playoff home runs, including two in the NLDS against Pittsburgh, and driven in at least five runs in a playoff series four times.
Though other organizations play more Sunday Night Baseball games on ESPN, the St. Louis Cardinals might be the model franchise in the major leagues at this point — one even the Red Sox brass would admit they aspire to emulate. As was the case in 1946, 1967 and 2004, the Cardinals now stand between the Red Sox and a World Series title.

Chemistry Professor
Competition for tenure-track positions at the college and university level is intense, with many institutions relying on adjunct or part-time faculty and graduate students to make up a larger share of staff than in the past.
- Two-year colleges: Master's degree required for most full-time teaching positions.
- Four-year colleges and universities: Doctorate degree required for full-time, tenure-track positions.
- Median annual wage: $71,140 (2012)
Teaching allows you to share your passion for chemistry with others. Many educators say the most satisfying aspect of their work is helping to shape the lives and minds of students. It is important to feel enthusiastic about the subject, to be truly interested in students and their development, and to be able to make abstract principles come alive. Professors must be interested in expanding their own knowledge and working with students on research projects.
Professors at Predominantly Undergraduate Institutions (PUI)
PUI chemistry professors teach advanced concepts in the field of chemistry to both science and nonscience majors. Many professors enjoy the challenge of research and may have an interest in publishing their findings.
On an average day, chemistry professors give lectures, conduct discussions, and guide students in labs. Professors are responsible for class preparation, developing and grading tests, and working with students outside of class. Professors at four-year colleges and universities also spend time keeping up with professional literature and new developments in the field and attend professional conferences. At PUIs, chemistry professors conduct and publish scientific research, and a main focus is teaching students how to conduct research properly.
Professors at Research Institutions (R1s)
Professors at research universities spend more time with graduate students engaged in basic or applied research. Their work involves helping students grow their own knowledge, sharing expertise, and advancing the field of chemistry and knowledge in general through research.
Professors at Community Colleges (CCs)
Uniquely American institutions, CCs that grant associate degrees and certifications focus predominantly on teaching. Most CCs colleges offer introductory courses for students who will transfer to four-year schools and earn a bachelor's degree. Many CCs also have technical programs, which offer career curriculum leading to an associate's degree in an applied science, and a job in that field immediately upon graduation. They provide the education and technical skills required to work in places such as a lab or processing facility and courses tend to be more practical and less theoretical. Professors at CCs prepare and deliver lectures, create and grade exams and homework assignments, supervise students in laboratories, conduct review sessions and work individually with students. A very few conduct original scientific research, but that number is slowly increasing.
Positions at two-year colleges: Master's degree required for most full-time teaching positions.
Positions at four-year colleges and universities: Doctorate degree required for full-time, tenure-track positions
Competition for tenure-track positions at the college and university level is intense, with many institutions relying on adjunct or part-time faculty and graduate students to make up a larger share of staff than in the past.
Chemistry faculty at four-year colleges and universities must have doctorates and often have postdoctoral experience. Be certain to check the specific requirements in your state and region and those of individual colleges and universities.
Community Colleges (CCs)
Full-time faculty at two-year colleges typically spend about half their time interacting with students, in class and outside of class. Another 30% of their time is spent on class preparation and assessment. The remaining time is divided between professional development and department or institutional committees. An increasing number of CC faculty are engaging in scientific research with their students, who are sharing their results at professional conferences.
Predominantly Undergraduate Institutions (PUIs)
Workloads at colleges and universities vary based on the size of the institution. In a smaller liberal arts college with smaller class sizes, for example, there may be more emphasis on teaching and student contact.
In larger institutions, professors may teach as many as 400 students in introductory courses and have the help of one or more teaching assistants. These larger institutions will have smaller class sizes for advanced courses and may be expected to spend somewhat more time on research, though this aspect of their work is not as significant as it is in graduate research universities.
Research Institutions (RIs)
On an average day, being a chemistry professor at a graduate research institution includes teaching responsibilities for undergraduate and graduate level courses and seminars, as well as research activities involving both independent work and work with graduate students.
Specifically for professors at graduate and research universities, the focus is on new developments in the field, publishing papers regularly, sometimes writing textbooks, and mentoring Ph.D. candidates. At nearly all universities, faculty members also dedicate time to apply for funding to support their research.
Graduate and research universities—master's and Ph.D. granting institutions—offer a highly focused environment catering to students serious about research. Professors mentor Ph.D. candidates and spend time helping them complete the steps involved in achieving a doctorate degree. Research universities often have high-quality equipment and can offer students and teachers excellent lab experience.
Non-Tenured Staff
Non-tenured staff positions are available at community colleges, R1s, and PUIs.
Adjunct professors teach a small number of classes (can be as few as one per semester), usually part-time and non-permanent.
Visiting professors or lecturers teache lecture and laboratory classes and generally do not conduct research. These positions can be long-term or short-term.
Technical Skills
- In-depth knowledge of chemistry and chemical concepts, with particular expertise in a specific field
- Instructional skills, including the ability to explain difficult concepts and the ability to engage students in learning
- Patience when working with students of different abilities and backgrounds
- Communication and interpersonal skills when dealing with students in class and in your laboratory, with other faculty members, and with college or university administration
- Independence, initiative, innovation, and leadership to conceive and conduct original research
- Technical writing skills for grant proposals, reports, papers, and other documents

Career Path
Professors at PUIs generally start as an assistant professor and after six years of successful employment are considered for tenure. They tend to remain at the same institution, where they have established a laboratory and a strong rapport with students and other members of the faculty.
Salary Information The median annual wage in 2012 was $71,140, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Professional Organizations
Future Employment Trends
The job market for chemistry professors is competitive. At the college level, hundreds of qualified applicants can vie for a single teaching position. Although competition will remain tight for tenure-track positions at four-year colleges and universities, there will be a considerable number of part-time and renewable term appointments (adjunct faculty) available at these institutions and at community colleges.
Labor Statistics

Is This Career a Good Fit for You?
Becoming a professor at an undergraduate institution might be a good fit if you have a passion for science and for sharing that science with students. You must be willing to teach both lecture and lab courses, as well as instructing in a more individual setting in your own laboratory.

LOS ANGELES, MAY 3, 2013 — The special election to fill South Carolina's First Congressional District One has a pair of names drawing tons of attention. Former South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford is the Republican nominee, squaring off against comedian Stephen Colbert's sister Elizabeth Colbert Busch on the Democratic side.
The seat became available when former Senator Jim Demint retired mid-term to run the Heritage Foundation. Governor Nikki Haley appointed rising star Tim Scott to fill that seat, leaving the opening in the House of Representatives. Redistricting has given South Carolina an extra seat, so the new First District stretches all the way from Hilton Head to mid-coast South Carolina.
South Carolina is a very conservative state, and this election presents a clear and obvious choice. Endorsing Sanford is an easy decision.
Sanford's baggage is well known. While Governor, he ditched his security detail for a few days, and initially claimed he was hiking in the Appalachian Mountains. After a few days, he revealed that he was in Argentina with a woman who was not his wife.
While Sanford's personal conduct was certainly not in line with South Carolina values, his situation was more complex. Without excusing his behavior, his extra-marital affair was not "typical." He fell in love with the woman, and they are now engaged to be married.
Sanford's ex-wife even considered running for the seat, as did Colbert Busch's famous brother. Ms. Colbert Busch may not be a comedian, but she certainly has a caustic mean streak that may entertain those on the left wishing to humiliate Sanford. Her own temperament is no laughing matter. During their most recent debate, she brought up his affair in the nastiest possible way. Sanford ignored her. Colbert Busch has repeatedly ducked the issue of whether she thought Bill Clinton was fit for office.
A campaign about personalities gives Ms. Colbert a chance. A race about issues leaves her blown out of the water.
"South Carolina values" extends beyond the home. South Carolina voters are conservative fiscally, socially, and on foreign policy. Mark Sanford is pro-gun, pro-life, pro-military, and pro-business. His record as Governor proves this. Elizabeth Sanford is more than just a liberal. She is the worst kind of liberal, the one who runs away from who she is when liberalism inevitably becomes unpopular. She is distancing herself from the train wreck Obamacare law, and promising to be an independent voice for South Carolina.
Voters everywhere have seen this movie before. When President Obama and Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi yank the leash, she will heel. Very few Democrats have seen the kind of pressure applied the way the current Democratic leadership applies it. When that leadership harassed Boeing from trying to build a plant in South Carolina, it was Governor Nikki Haley and Republicans who stood strong while Democrats stayed silent.
Colbert Busch can try to strip every ounce of humanity from the all-too-human Sanford, but at the end of the day she is a very liberal woman trying to pretend to be the right fit for a conservative district.
Mark Sanford was a good Governor who made some serious mistakes in his personal life. He betrayed his wife, but did not betray conservative principles on issues. The voters of the entire state of South Carolina forgave him and allowed him to finish his term, rejecting the notion that he needed to step down.
America is about redemption, and Sanford deserves this job. Cynics will say he is no less morally bankrupt than most other members of Congress. The less cynical will say that with a stagnant economy, a ticking Obamacare time bomb, and worldwide terrorism, Colbert Busch and her weapons of mass distraction are not what South Carolina needs.
Mark Sanford has the leadership experience and is right on the issues that South Carolinians care about. Send him to Congress on Tuesday, May 7th.

October 17, 2006 Last week was a good week. Everyone will be happy to hear that I recaptured my masculinity and defeated my squash opponent in two consecutive matches. Granted, I gave it my all and accepted victory with the sportsmanship of, say, a gloating little-leaguer (there was lots of mincing about the court, some singing of "We are the Champions," and, I think, a few gestures that should not be described herein). Call me immature, but at least I didn't lose to a girl…again.
Even better than that sweet, sweeeeeet taste of victory was the inaugural ceremony of our new Little Squash Center. The event began with an exhibition match between two internationally ranked players, both of whom engaged the crowd with witty remarks on "showing 'love'" in between sets. Then, in true Hamilton fashion, everyone retired to the field house and availed themselves of the hors d'oeuvres and two open-bars. We really should open more centers.
Sadly, there is more to life than cocktail parties and squash centers— or so I was led to believe at the investment-banking workshop this evening. I have no interest in becoming an investment banker and only attended because I heard that the speaker majored in comparative literature. I also went because the speaker's name was Greg and it's nice that I can still base my decisions on trivial facts like that. Anyway, I guess I wanted to see the bridge that links comparative literature to investment-banking. Apparently it's made of nepotism.
I suppose the Career Center asks that its speakers adhere to a certain dress code, preferably something that conveys a certain level of accomplishment. Greg certainly looked successful: nice suit, fancy watch, a winning smile that stretched against the over-shaved backdrop of his plump, pink face. As he spoke of fiduciary blah blahs and quarterly yah yahs, I couldn't help notice the apparent care with which Greg had organized his speech. He spoke with passion and interest, the pages from which he read were scrupulously detailed; verbal cues were underlined, passages were highlighted—he seemed genuinely interested in teaching us how to succeed in the business world. I'm probably bringing my own bias to this conclusion, but I think Greg missed his calling. He would have made a great professor.
But one has to make money; one has to make donations—otherwise there wouldn't be squash centers and hors d'oeuvres.
Anyway, I finished the fun part of the evening at the pub where Mark Zupan was nice enough to make an appearance. For those of you who don't know of Mark Zupan or haven't seen Murderball, do your homework. I'm fairly shy around people I admire, and fairly awkward around the disabled, so I didn't say anything to Zupan except a muffled "Thanks for coming." He was incredibly gracious and even bought everyone at his table a drink. It was a nice way to end the evening.
But the evening's far from over. I'm off to finish this Fulbright proposal. Thanks for reading.

The Hustlers and the Movie Star
By William Van Meter
At left: Paul and Tom Ferguson enter the courtroom for their murder trial, 1969. Right: Ramon Novarro at the height of his stardom, 1925.
Down the sternly christened No More Victims Road lies Jefferson City Correctional Center, a maximum-security prison about two hours west of St. Louis. It is an unseasonably warm day in mid-February, and Paul Robert Ferguson sits in the visitation area. Behind him is a painting of a soldier saluting the flag and various Plexiglas windows for those prisoners considered unfit to be in close proximity to their guests.
Paul, 66, is wearing all gray—hospital-scrub pants and a tee over a long-sleeved shirt. His graying hair is slicked back in the Rockabilly style of his youth, but the back is grown out and touches his shoulders. Two teeth are missing and, as he speaks, he dips a ham sandwich from the vending machine into a cup of hot chocolate, just to taste something different. The monotonous food is his biggest complaint about prison—that, and missing horses. He maintains his strong build doing 200 push-ups every other day (despite the fact that he's had five heart attacks and sleeps with an oxygen mask on).
"I'm an existentialist," Paul says. "I try not to let the environment dictate who I am."
Paul is a practicing Buddhist and does yoga each morning. He is also a convicted murderer responsible for one of the biggest scandals Hollywood has ever seen.
It was 1968, and former silent film star Ramon Novarro had downsized from his Frank Lloyd Wright–designed mansion to a one-story Spanish-style ranch house. The movie roles had long dried up, and he was reduced to the occasional guest spot in TV shows like Bonanza and The Wild Wild West. But the 69-year-old Novarro would soon be front-page fodder again.
Born Ramon Samaniego in Durango, Mexico, Novarro had supported his large family after their move to the states. Novarro starred in silent blockbusters such as 1925's epic Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ (the most expensive silent film until last year's The Artist) and Scaramouche. From 1925–1935, Novarro made more money for MGM than any actor except for Joan Crawford. He just about survived the great sea change that was sound, appearing in talkies such as the hit Mata Hari, opposite Greta Garbo, but his career went into decline.
A fervent Catholic and an alcoholic for more than 30 years, Novarro had lost his license due to multiple DUIs (he received two within two days in 1960) and was receiving unemployment. He could no longer pull off being a romantic lead, his previous forte. "Most likely because of alcohol abuse, Novarro aged rather rapidly," says André Soares, author of the biography Beyond Paradise. "Also, Novarro seriously considered becoming a monk. All evidence seems to point out that he very much missed the good old days of fame and riches. He did strive to come back a few times, but without any luck."
The 5-foot-6 actor had advanced emphysema and arthritis and weighed 198 pounds. He frequently used an escort service, Masseurs -- The Best, on nearby Fountain Avenue. His secretary of eight years, Edward Weber, was helping him write his memoirs. Weber's other duties included paying the escort service (hundreds of checks were written out in denominations of $20 or $40, often under the ruse of "gardening" services) and making alcohol runs.
Wednesday, October 30, was Weber's day off, but he happened to stop by the liquor store near Novarro's house. The proprietor told him that Novarro had just placed a delivery order for cigarettes -- one carton of Winstons and one of Marlboro. Weber offered to drop them off to Novarro (who didn't smoke). When Weber showed up at 3110 Laurel Canyon Boulevard around 5:30 p.m., his boss appeared at the door in a dressing gown and was surprised to see him. Weber thought that he could smell lotion on Novarro and noticed he had a freshly trimmed mustache and goatee. He wasn't invited in. Weber would later testify, "I had the feeling that he had guests."

Mchicha 5pts I generally dislike Toyota primarily becouse a bad experience with my corolla and Prado II , but Man, I am consindering buying one of these.
The NABG 5pts Paul, I'm not sure what you wrote about the other cars--or even what the were: I saw the picture of the 2000GT and began salivating, scanning the words until I found your write up. I think the 2000GT is one of the most beautiful cars ever made, and in my humble opinion, it is THE most beautiful car to ever to come from the land of the rising sun. I enjoyed the write up and found myself vicariously shifting the gears and accelerating out of turns. I really should hate you, you know. I'm not often jealous of folks who get to drive rare cars, but this is an exception. It's nice to know the 2000GT lives up to my expectations. Thanks for sharing.
BlackDynamiteOnline 5pts A great car for Toyota/Subaru to offer something new every year on, like the Nissan GTR.The base car should never change, but their should be option packages every year to add handling, power, and interior features.Subaru will add the 50 HP turbo, and already has the Limited Pkg for more interior features.BD
¿DeQuandary? 5pts @BlackDynamiteOnline 50-75hp turbo/STI treatment and a real interior upgrade.. one that makes it feel like an adult's toy car, not a kids over priced toy... and it still needs to come in at under 30k MSRP.
bobdevo 5pts @Fallen79 @BlackDynamiteOnline 90% of Porsche Cayman performance for 1/3 the cost ain't no toy. Plus it's manufactured by the most reliable auto manufacturer. You driven one?

I have a friend who has a gorgeous dinner plate Hibiscus that gets loaded with blooms every yr. but...she has only ever found two seed pods on it. Can anyone tell me why that is and if there is something she can do to change that? Thanks |
Follow-Up Postings:
Tonya_Fennig, By the size of the bloom (dinner plate sized) I suspect it is H Mosheuotos. I have strange luck with mine. Your friend might have better luck pollinating themselves. I usually take a q-tip to mine early in the morning when the blooms fully open. Others might have different methods. Some plants take differently to pollination. As with Merkity, I have crossed a few tropicals with mixed results. Ed |
- Posted by Tonya_Fennig none (My Page) on Sun, Nov 25, 12 at 7:48
Thank You Ed, I did not even think of doing that. I will let her know to try that. Tonya |
Just a thought...if she is deadheading spent blooms, she is eliminating any possibilty of seed production. |
- Posted by Tonya_Fennig none (My Page) on Tue, Nov 27, 12 at 13:22
I double cked with her and she is not deadheading. She has a lot of gorgeous flowers, the one mentioned especially and it gets a lot of blooms on it |

That's a valuable piece of info about where not to wait to see the "parade". Thanks for the review!
I've seen a video of the Block Party Bash from when it was in DCA. It appears that once the 'parade' stops, you really only get to see the characters that are right in front of you. Was that your experience?

WoW Archivist: The Gates of Ahn'Qiraj {WoW}
Apr 19th 2011 1:49PM I remember it like it was yesterday...Ok..maybe not. But its one of the great moments of Wow gameplay. I was there when it opened and I was on most of the day fighting in Silithus. Fighting along our guild. Fighting along with the Horde. Many of whom we fought against in Warsong Gulch and prior to that Tauren Mill, Southshore open PVP. This epic Event brought the server together. Built up a sense of community. There was no griefing. Due to the amount of time it took, there were more people interested in opening the gates than were interested in keeping someone from opening it. Chances are there were only 2 groups making the push for the scepter. 1 alliance and 1 horde. And in the end they both worked together to make sure it opened.
Unfortunately it probably won't ever happen again, due to the technical difficulties but for those of us who were there or participated its something we won't forget.

Just because they don't put our place of business, city, address, phone number online doesn't mean that some other company won't be able to match your name with all of that info. Don't think that Google won't compile all that info. Don't think that debt collectors won't be trolling that data. Don't think that Political Parties won't be trolling that data so that they can now send you those wonderful snail mail advertisements. This has bad written all over it.

Thanks for your comments.
*this entry has been deleted*
So lets start from the begining. School was it's usuall random stupidness. We had a water polo meeting after school. I'm pretty excited. But I'm leary at the same time. The rules have all changed and I can barely catch with two hands much less one. I think it would be a good way to get into shape for swim season. I'm looking forward to it.
As I sit here in the bleak, darkness of my room I can hear them. They are the Invaders. They speak in loud tones, of other things, yet I know inside they are cursing my existence, because I'm gay. I feel so alone. I've met others like me, with habitual similarities and compulsive differences. I feel eventually torn from them, when I say my father is a pastor.
I went to the mall today...or should i say yesterday? 'cause it's like 2 almost 3 in the morning. but anyways i went with my coworker and my friend to watch Black Christmas, it was a pretty alrite movie. i kinda spent too much money today...damn but sometimes you just have to splurge on yourself right?

... considering that probably everyone would be already dead (and the museum destroyed by the way).
I don't know if anyone already pointed at that but as per the game mechanics everytime the clock reaches twelve it's midnight...
So in Elder Sign the day lasts only twelve hour; this means that the Earth rotation speed must have somehow doubled.
Such an astronomical change (which most probably happened from one moment to the next) would surely mean the complete annihilation of all life on the planet, if not of the planet itself.
So no investigators, no museum, nothing!
Bu after all who cares if an Ancient Evil will rule on a barren rock (or a lot of rocks if Old Earth breaks apart) in the middle of the cosmic void?
This is just for a laugh, this game really rocks!!! - no intended play on words with what written above...

I have this wreath displayed in my hair salon.. I get so many compliments on it... Simply love it
As indicated above, I purchased 3 of these wreaths so they must be good. Overstocks has always been a winning company in my books. Every order I have placed has arrived quickly, been packaged well and has been very good quality.
A great wreath, good color but a bit larger than I expected.
I like this wreath but the price was a bit high. However the color was perfect for what I needed. Plastic and fabric. Hard to bend leaves into place after shipping. Had to tuck some leaves behind others to make it symetrical. It matched my room so I kept it. But should of been $29.99 for the quality.
Items must be returned in new or unused condition and contain all original materials included with the shipment. More details

The Lord's storehouse, then, exists in each ward. These offerings are 'to be cast into the Lord's storehouse, ... every man seeking the interest of his neighbor, and doing all things with an eye single to the glory of God' (D&C 82:18-19)."

Sorry to be unclear, but the point was that there are MANY songs about fake hip-hop and fake country
Yeah, man. I feel like the consensus is "Illinois" is his best, but compared to this record that one seems overwrought and overstuffed to me. This one is long and labored-over too, but it breathes. It's not so self-consciously ornate.
You really think journalists only take Kanye seriously to boost page views? Quoth the maven, "That shit cray."
Tegan and Sara is a great example that I didn't cite. Good point.
Couldn't find a logical place to mention this in the piece, but I saw them live three times in 2003: Cleveland, Wisconsin and Toronto, the last of which was postponed initially due to the Northeast blackout, which in turn necessitated all manner of logistical maneuvers to obtain the reissued tickets from the original eBay seller. Anyway, when we finally made it Toronto in October for the show at Skydome, my main memory of the show is Thom stopping the band in the middle of "Myxomatosis" because a guy up front had passed out. They pulled him up on stage and got him some medical attention. Then Thom's like, "OK, third verse," and they cut back into the song like nothing happened. One of the more badass Thom Yorke moments I can recall.
Also, Alpine Valley Music Theatre in Wisconsin has the steepest lawn I've ever seen in an outdoor amphitheater. I was legitimately concerned about an avalanche. Probably the best set I ever saw them play, though.
He played on Sunday, and we did not forget him.
Try refreshing. I think it's fixed now.
Those two could definitely do it. There are still plenty of acts that have headlined one or two of the major festivals but not all of them — Metallica and Eminem come to mind. Of course, depending on the clout, repeating what somebody else has booked could feel like a retread or a coup. So there's another reason for the festivals to endorse a new generation of headliners OR expand their genre range.
Thanks! Hard to think of a better or nicer compliment than that.
Good to know. I'm going to keep singing "Fallin', fallin', fallin.'"

COLORADO SPRINGS, June 3, 2012 – Attending a public negotiating session one afternoon last week between the Douglas County, Colorado school district administration and the American Federation of Teachers Union was an eyeopener that revealed union attitudes.
It was not really a school board meeting; rather, it was a formal negotiation open to the public. Despite what one might expect from the spectacle of the teachers' unions in Wisconsin, this was not a destructive free-for-all.
Rumor had it that unions were going to bus in hundreds of supporters from outside the district to disrupt proceedings. It did not happen. The meeting was orderly and cordial on all sides. Warned about a potential large turnout, the meeting was moved to the gym of the Douglas County High School in Castle Rock. There were about a half dozen or so police present. Although it was almost boring at times, it was very revealing of union attitudes.
The local union members showed up in purple T-shirts and collected themselves at the north building for a march (or walk) together to the gym in the south building. They arrived relatively close to start time and so about forty were held outside the capacity-filled auditorium.
I've noticed a propensity for unionists to gather together in groups, identify with T-shirts and wait to be led by a leader. I shouldn't be surprised. Their T-shirts were emblazoned on the front with "I make a difference every day." Indeed they do, but I couldn't help wondering what the nature of that difference was.
A couple of things in the negotiations stood out to me.
The first was the opening series of questions by a high school journalism teacher on the union side directed at the treasurer for the school district. He grilled her about capital expenditures, especially about why they were so high. She explained that some, at least, of the numbers were due to reclassification of funds caused by the way the state mandates reporting.
I wondered why he was so interested in the details. I couldn't help wondering: was he looking for piggy banks to raid? Later, it was confirmed to me that this was exactly the case.
The second impression was about teacher pay. A young woman on the union side was very interested in the pay levels of new hires. Douglas County is moving toward market-based pay and pay for performance. She wanted to be sure that new hires would not get more than existing teachers. A teacher sitting next to me nodded approvingly at her questioning.
Playing out right in front of me was the nature of unionism and socialism: greed and envy. Surely that was the case here as the union sought to forward the interests of existing union members as against new hires.
Union support for "career ladders" would, no doubt, start the new hires right at the bottom regardless of prior teaching experience. This is not good for the new teachers but is also bad for existing ones: they are now stuck with the school district they have accumulated time with, for to move on means losing seniority and starting over again at the bottom.
There appeared to be some "suspended" bonus money not yet paid out and the union negotiator wanted to ensure that it was paid out evenly across the board. No reward for good performance apparently.
Consider how unionism plays out with two professions: teaching and information technology. The former is unionized; the latter is not. In fact, in the school district I worked for, teaching was considered a true "profession" requiring certification and all the usual guild-like qualifications.
Information technology, on the other hand, was simply a "classified" position on par with janitors, cooks, and bus drivers. I was certified to do substitute teaching. I was also trained, although not certified, in information technology. The vice principal at first thought that I might not want to do the IT substitute work because it was, well, lower grade work.
The pay was almost exactly the same and, being a capitalist, I gladly did both as opportunity allowed.
There are a couple of important lessons here. In the school system, where wages, prices and job structures are strictly controlled, information technology and teaching pay the same. When I left teaching to do information technology full time, my salary doubled. My skills were better rewarded and I was encouraged to increase my skill set. No one had to pass laws mandating an ever-increasing set of requirements to force me to continue to improve.
When prices are allowed float via market rates, work is paid according to its value in the market. School districts better able to attract better qualified science and math teachers which are chronically in short supply. Better teachers will be rewarded and all teachers, through competition, will be encouraged to do better.
The truth is that decent working conditions and other past, valid justifications for unionism in America have long been written into law. Today unions kill creativity and innovation, encourage conformity, and reward mediocrity.
Teachers constantly say they want to teach creativity and critical thinking and to treat each child as an individual. How can they do these things when their profession requires exactly the opposite of them?
"I make a difference every day," said the T-shirts. What kind of a difference are union teachers making in our children's lives every day?

Among the things PM lacked that audiences have come to expect in a newspaper were advertising—not simply a digest—and many of the elements classified by Wilbur Schramm as "immediate reward" items, such as entertainment features, comics, and certain kinds of news, among them human interest items. PM, however, tried to offer a heavy fare of "delayed reward" items; public affairs news and other items generally appealing to a well-educated—and therefore limited—audience. Conventional mass circulation papers contain both, but have a greater proportion of immediate reward items. By the time PM changed its formula to the extent of taking advertising and adding comics and other features it was too late.
The story of PM indicates that there was not a mass public—however much we may regret it—for the kind of newspaper envisioned by its founders.

Robert A. Scaglione has been appointed the county's new air pollution control officer for the Air Quality Management District, the Mendocino County Board of Supervisors announced.
Scaglione has been named the acting air pollution control officer in February, after Chris Brown, who formerly headed the district, was put on administrative leave pending the results of an investigation.
"The Board of Supervisors is pleased to appoint Robert A. Scaglione, who has been serving in the capacity of the county's acting air pollution control officer," board chairman 5th District Supervisor Dan Hamburg said in a prepared statement. "Mr. Scaglione has a long history of working successfully wit government agencies, businesses and individuals to preserve the excellent air quality that we enjoy in Mendocino County."
Scaglione brings more than 35 years of experience to the job, including public and private sector work handling a variety of environmental, health and safety compliance functions, according to a press release from the Mendocino County Executive Office. He has been employed with Mendocino County for more than 12 years, serving as a senior air quality specialist since 2008.
Scaglione was the 2008 recipient of the California Air Pollution Control Officers Association's Outstanding Inspector Award, the county stated.
"It is an honor and privilege to continue the district's goal of maintaining healthy ambient air quality in Mendocino County in my new capacity," Scaglione said in a prepared statement.
Prior to his work for Mendocino County, Scaglione was employed by Advanced Manufacturing & Development, Inc. as a environmental, health and safety officer, and worked 19 years for the Masonite Corporation.
Scaglione attended the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee School of Engineering, where he studied mechanical engineering, and the Milwaukee Technical College, according to the county.

34 Addison to Australian Government
Cablegram.18 LONDON, 16 January 1946, 9.20 p.m.
Received 17 January 1946
Thank you for your telegrams 12th January Nos. 23-4. [1]
2. We note your view as to interpretation of the phrase 'States directly concerned'. We feel that it is difficult to put forward any interpretation which would be generally acceptable without considerable international discussion, and our immediate purpose is to find some solution which will enable us to take initial step without prejudicing eventual interpretation to be adopted.
3. Consultation of the French Government with regard to the terms of Trusteeship for the Cameroons and Togoland can be justified in any event on the ground that the British Cameroons and Togoland are parts of the former German Colonies in West Africa of which other parts are administered by France; similarly Tanganyika and Ruanda-Urundi (administered by Belgium) are parts of former German East Africa.
4. In sending copies of the draft terms for information to the other States mentioned in Article 23 of the Charter we shall make clear that our action is without prejudice to the interpretation of Article 79 to be eventually adopted.
5. It is not now proposed to communicate copies at this stage to the Secretary General of the United Nations.
6. We note the terms of the proposed statement by the Australian Government about New Guinea and Nauru. As to the terms of the draft in your telegram No.24 we would suggest that it might be desirable either to omit the phrase 'for submission to the General Assembly' or else to indicate also the other step required by Article 79, viz. agreement by the States directly concerned.
7. As the United Kingdom is a partner with Australia and New Zealand in the Mandate for Nauru, the Australian Government in announcing intention to place Nauru under Trusteeship (with which we concur) will no doubt state they are acting with the concurrence of the United Kingdom Government. [2] We assume that the Australian Government are also consulting the New Zealand Government on this point. We assume also that before communicating to any other State the terms of the Draft Trusteeship Agreement for Nauru the Government of Australia would agree the draft with ourselves and New Zealand as partners in the existing Mandate.
