If the federal government continues to over-regulate I foresee a national driver's strike that will bring the country to a standstill. Is that what you really want?! Be smart and use common sense in making sure drivers are safe. Quit meddling with a system that is currently working.
Accidents are down, fatalities are down, isn't that everyone's goal? I urge you to retract this proposal and retain the current hours of service rules which have been effective in striking the crucial balance between safety and productivity.

5 Simple Tricks for a Better Relationship
Your dream getaway doesn't have to break your budget.
You know you want to venture south but you're just not sure where. Here's help.
Whether you seek a steel-band beat, secluded beach, or something in between, you'll find it in the Caribbean, where the only commonality is the warm cerulean sea and the time zone: "island time."
Each island is either independent or flies the flag of its French, Dutch, English, Spanish, or American mother country (the island of St. Martin/Sint Maarten is split down the middle between the French and Dutch). The Bahamas and Turks & Caicos are not officially part of the Caribbean islands, but they share a common sea and are, therefore, included below. Everyday life and natural terrain can vary widely from island to island.
The Caribbean islands arch from the southern tip of Florida to the northern coast of Venezuela. The largest islands (known as the Greater Antilles) lie to the northwest. The smaller isles (called the Lesser Antilles) curve southeast and are caressed by the placid Caribbean Sea on the west coast and pounded by the tumultuous Atlantic Ocean on the east. The chain ends with the ABC islands: Aruba, Bonaire, and Curaçao.
There are many ways to choose the ideal destination for your honeymoon, whether you're looking for someplace close and cheap, a lush terrain, lots of activities, or do-not-disturb seclusion. Read on to pinpoint your one perfect fantasy island, and don't worry: You'll have a lifetime of anniversaries to visit the rest.
*** Notes: The U.S. Virgin Islands, hereafter referred to as USVI, include St. Thomas, St. Croix, and St. John. The main islands of the British Virgin Islands, or BVI, are Tortola and Virgin Gorda. The Dominican Republic and Dominica are two very different islands more than 500 miles apart. Cuba is included for our Canadian readers.

I hope this is the correct forum for this post. I have something inside my sillcock that is blocking the water flow. Water flows out around it but at such a reduced rate that I don't get enough water pressure to use a garden hose. When I bought the house it had an attachment that allowed it to split off into 2 different hoses. I am wondering if this could possibly be a part of it that broke off but if so, how can I get it out without removing the faucet? The faucet is a frost-free with no water shutoff valve and looks to be welded to the pipe and not screwed so I really don't want to have to get someone to remove it for me. The long thing in the middle is damaged at the end from my attempts to take pliers to it. That stick seems to be on a rollerball, it moves in any direction. I can't unscrew whatever it is. |

Summary: Boys don't keep diaries-or do they? The launch of an exciting and innovatively illustrated new series narrated by an unforgettable kid every family can relate to It's a new school year, and Greg Heffley finds himself thrust into middle school, where undersized weaklings share the hallways with kids who are taller, meaner, and already shaving. The hazards of growing up before you're ready are uniquely revealed through words and drawings as Greg records them in his dia ...show morery. In book one of this debut series, Greg is happy to have Rowley, his sidekick, along for the ride. But when Rowley's star starts to rise, Greg tries to use his best friend's newfound popularity to his own advantage, kicking off a chain of events that will test their friendship in hilarious fashion. Author/illustrator Jeff Kinney recalls the growing pains of school life and introduces a new kind of hero who epitomizes the challenges of being a kid. As Greg says in his diary, "Just don't expect me to be all Dear Diary this and Dear Diary that. Luckily for us, what Greg Heffley says he won't do and what he actually does are two very different things. Since its launch in May 2004 on Funbrain.com, the Web version of Diary of a Wimpy Kidhas been viewed by 20 million unique online readers. This year, it is averaging 70,000 readers a day. ...show less

So, I am totally a Broadway girl—I love the spectacle, the fun, and the drama. Best thing about this Broadway season? The dudes. I had to wipe the drool off my chin after seeing "American Idol" alum, Constantine Maroulis, as aspiring 1980s rocker Drew in "Rock of Ages." I'll be looking out for him this Sunday, June 7, as the Broadway community gathers at Radio City Music Hall for the annual Tony Award ceremony. You can watch all the festivities on CBS at 8pm (EST). Fingers crossed that my crush Constantine will snag the Tony for Best Leading Actor in a Musical.
Check out some other hot reasons to watch the Tonys.

Okay, I'm 64, good looking, in pretty good shape and pretty well set financially. I am in New England and spend some winter time in Florida. The Florida women want nothing to do with 8 or 9 months in New England and I haven't been able to find a good companion in the North. To be truthfull, many of the women that I meet are just too heavy for my liking. Sorry, that's just the way that I feel and I am not alone in that thought.
So, where are all the slim northern women? Oh, and I mean women who don't have a drinking problem or enjoy lighting up a "joint' to relax or have kids that they constantly have to bail out of messes. Am I being too fussy?? |

No, you're not being too fussy! Post your picture and profile, stating what you want, on plentyoffish.com - it's a totally free site, and lots of good people there. Good luck! |
Plentyoffish.com is bottom fishing! With free sites, you get what you pay for. Try a pay site that focuses on people who are serious about finding a partner. eharmony maybe. |
I've got to tell you. I've been widowed now for five years. I've tried E-Harmony, Yahoo Personals and Match.com. You get bottom feeders on each one. You get trollers. You get those that are still married and 'having' fun. I've finally come to the realization that I'm guess it's me, that I'm simply not interested. I don't want to deal with someone that's been married three times, five times, seperated and living alone or with room mates? That's a kicker. Okay, okay, maybe I'm hard to please. I've had the best (married for 36 and a half years) and I'm not going to settle for less. Everyone's got baggage, any one who says they don't, aren't real people or are socialpathic. laughing. If you've got a past, you've got baggage. Me? My baggage, you ask? I've got two kids with children of their own in other states. It matters to me that if I have a holiday or vacation, to go see them. If someone doesn't have conversation other then sex in the first five minutes.. or even first email or third line in a yahoo message, guess what they are looking for. I'm not, one tells me that I'm a cold fish, something is the matter with me? Guess what folks, I know what my faults are and am the first to admit them. One fella that I talked to on E-Harmony got 'odd' in the first phone conversation. I sent an email saying I didn't want to continue. Then, E-Harmony sends me a letter that he has been taken off their list and no more emails from him. Not sure what happened, but he got caught. Some of them just slip thru the net. One of the first things I want to know about someone is, are you on a twelve step program of any kind? What kind of drugs do you use. Drugs are not a part of my life and if that is someones recreation, you got it, I'm not interested. I don't want to deal with someone that has a drinking problem. No a couple of drinks to me do not constituted a problem, but if you have it for breakfast, yeah that should be a warning. If your looking for a home or a loan, again, keep on trucking. I've been told that my profile is scary in that hummmm, I 'tell it like it is'. No point in wasting your time or mine, if it's not going anywhere. No, I don't care what your personal habits are as long as they don't affect me or my life. Darn good thing I'm happy to be 'alone'. I'm only as alone as I want to be. Too many things in life are fun, people are fun, just reading a good book is fun. I'm 60 years old and pretty set in my ways, guess what, I betcha that anyone over the age of 50 is pretty much set in their ways too. I'm not gonna try to change you, and hopefully no one is going to try to change me. I yam what I yam as Popeye used to say. What you see is what you get. No hidden agenda, no time line I'm trying to beat. Mixed message, You think????? Well, one day I get up and wish like the dickens there was someone in my life, another day I get up and heave a gothic sigh of relief that I live alone and can do what and how I want. With out haveing to consider someone elses needs. If, I'm hungry I eat, if I'm not then I don't. If I want a bag of chips for dinner, that's what I have. No Mr. Coolvt, I don't think your too fussy at all. Don't settle for less then what you really want. I've come to the realization that I'm really happy and content as I am. I don't "NEED" someone to justify who I am. |
I've tried the dating sites and actually met some nice people, but none that I felt like spending the rest of my life with. I tried EHarmony and that was a joke. While I was on a free trial they were sending me 6-8 matches every day. I didn't realize that there were so many people who matched up with me:-) The funny thing is I dated a woman for close to a year and we both decided that ultimatly we just didn't fit together. EHarmony sent me her profile as my perfect match the 2nd day:-) So much for their great matching service. They want someone to join and pay the money. That's their goal. It's pretty easy to find women to date, but if someone is thinking of something serious and permanent, then one gets a little fussier. |
Be very careful. My neighbor and her daughter agressively hunt for men on dating sites. Well the daughter hooked one, quit her job, sold her care, moved to Texas, he sued her for divorce in 3 weeks. Seems he has been married 11 times before he met her. |
Whoo Boy!! Stirred up a hornets nest with this one. My only comment is this. I would venture to guess that most of the women posting on this forum are single. Strike up a conversation with any and all and see where it leads. That's what you would have to do if you went to a bar to meet women and over a period of time you might get to know someone well enough to take it that extra step. |
- Posted by kayjones (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Thu, Sep 6, 07 at 23:16
Pris, that's exactly what I said - look right under your nose - you can easily find someone if you check out resources related to your hobby or religion or such. I don't think any one dating site is better than another. I think one just has to be astute enough to get to know someone before you jump off a bridge for them. |
The real blind thing really doesn't work for me. I guess I am a typical guy...there has to be a visual attraction. That doesn't mean the woman has to be a Miss America, but there has to be something that attracts me or it will never get very far. So, to begin communicating with women without knowing if there is even a chance for an attraction for me, seems like wasted time for both parties. |
- Posted by kayjones (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Wed, Oct 3, 07 at 16:37
OK, Mr. Cool, email me and we will start a conversation 'across the miles' and exchange photos. I will be moving to Florida in about a year. I am close to your age. |
Hi Miss Kay, I sent you an email with photos. M |
And they lived happily ever after. Once the bickering quit. |
- Posted by kayjones (email@example.com) on Thu, Oct 18, 07 at 21:18
Sorry, but I never have received an email or pictures from you, Mr. Florida. Mikie, TEEEEEEEHHHHHHHEEEEEEE!!!! |

Romero (DVD)
By Steven D. Greydanus
"A good compromise choice" is how one observer describes the 1977 appointment of Oscar Romero (Raul Julia) — a conservative, orthodox, apolitical bishop of a small rural diocese — to the archbishopric of San Salvador, the highest ecclesiastical office in El Salvador.
By the time Archbishop Romero's tempestuous three-year tenure comes to its violent end, "compromise" is a word no one will ever again think of in connection with him.
The first feature film from the Paulist Fathers' moviemaking division, John Duigan's Romero tells the true story of Latin America's best-known and most revered modern martyr, Oscar Arnulfo Romero y Goldamez, a man whom John Paul II described as a "zealous pastor who gave his life for his flock," and at whose tomb in San Salvador Pope John Paul II has prayed when visiting El Salvador.
Where Romero excels as a film is in its depiction of its subject's gradual transformation. Like Richard Burton in Becket, Raul Julia's Romero is a man morally transformed by office and responsibility. Yet whereas Becket becomes a new man virtually overnight, Romero goes through a more organic, gradual process, responding to specific crises.
Romero comes to the archbishopric at a time when El Salvador is torn apart by violence and injustice. El Salvadoran military forces — aided and equipped by the United States as a defense against Communism — oppose the country's Marxist guerrilla resistance. However, much of what is done in the name of "fighting Communists" is really just repressing the poor, or anyone who speaks out on their behalf.
As played by Julia, Romero seems at first a man singularly unsuited for high office, particularly in such a time of crisis. By nature timid, bookish, and retiring, he has no presence, no political instincts, no sense of moral authority. He doesn't even have a decent pair of shoes.
He does, however, have one important virtue in the eyes of El Salvador's wealthy European oligarchy, military controllers, and complacent bishops: He's uncontroversial. At least he's not on the side of the country's guerrilla resistance movement, and that's good enough for the ruling classes. Certainly they're sure he's a man who won't rock the boat.
What no one anticipates — including Romero himself — is how he will respond when someone else rocks the boat. Less than a month into his office, demonstrators in the main plaza of San Salvador are surrounded by police forces, and some are killed. Days later, Romero is stunned when a popular priest friend of his known for advocacy of reform and social justice is assassinated, along with an old man and a young boy accompanying him to Mass.
Romero's response to this atrocity — presumably the work of a military death squad — is a dramatic proposal: Cancel all Sunday Masses that week throughout the archdiocese except for a single memorial Mass at the cathedral, to unite the faithful in this time of crisis.
The proposal meets with resistance from other bishops. "It will be interpreted as a political statement," one protests. Romero, a reasonable man, feels the weight of this objection; yet in the end he grasps that the decision must be his. The Masses are canceled.
Slowly, the archbishop is revealed as a man of growing courage. At times he exhibits physical bravery, as when he climbs into a van with armed and masked thugs, or refuses to be intimidated by the guns of a hostile military force occupying a parish church.
But other, quieter acts require a form of courage as well. Told that his appointment with the fraudulently declared president-elect must be rescheduled, Romero unflinchingly replies, "I will wait," and makes himself comfortable in the waiting room. On a subsequent occasion, he strides into the president's office unannounced, and refuses to be satisfied with political niceties. He doesn't even shy from calling the president (also named Romero, coincidentally) a liar to his face.
The archbishop's moral crusade earns him enemies, not only among the ruling alliance of military powers and aristocracy, but on two other fronts as well: the Marxist resistance movement, and even some of his fellow priests and bishops who fear the wrath of the establishment, and even accuse Romero being a Marxist himself.
Romero repudiates Marxism, but will not allow anti-Marxism to be used as a weapon to quell moral criticism. He preaches a theology of liberation, but a liberation "rooted in faith" that is "so often misunderstood" in merely political terms.
Like Roland Joffé's The Mission, Romero raises the issue of "liberation theology," but rejects what is unacceptable in some forms of that school of thought: class warfare, guerrilla tactics, priests taking up arms. Certainly the film has no sympathy for the Marxist resistance, which it depicts as brutally lawless.
Even so, Romero's real opposition comes not from the guerrillas, but from El Salvador's controllers — especially the military, which ultimately overthrows the fraudulent presidency and establishes a series of military juntas operating with continued U.S. support.
Unfortunately for the film, none of Romero's enemies, even among the military, emerges as a knowable or compelling character. Eddie Velez plays a callous officer who opposes Romero at several turns, and the archbishop also has a couple of run-ins with members of the aristocracy as well as the fraudulently elected president; but the film has no true antagonist.
This weakens the drama, and is Romero's main flaw as a film. In Becket, the title character had Henry II to push against; in A Man for All Seasons, Sir Thomas had Henry VIII (not to mention Cromwell, Wolsey, Norfolk, Cranmer, and finally, in the Tower, even his own beloved wife and daughter). It was this lively opposition that made these dramas compelling on a personal level.
In Romero, by contrast, the dramatic conflict is shifted within; instead of Man against Man, it is Man against Himself. It's a credit to the strength of Raul Julia's performance — perhaps a career high point — that Romero's inner struggle and outward transformation from timid academic into thundering prophet is so compelling in itself. It's a four-star performance in a three-star film.
The film is also strengthened by its use of Romero's actual words from recorded homilies, interviews, and speeches. Romero turned out to be a powerful speaker, and all over the country people eagerly tuned in every Sunday to hear his broadcast homilies. In the film, we hear Romero call upon U.S. President Jimmy Carter to stop providing El Salvador with military support that was only being used to oppress the people (a call that was rejected). We hear him reach out to the soldiers themselves:
No soldier is obliged to obey an order contrary to the law of God. No one has to obey an immoral law. It is high time you obeyed your consciences rather than sinful orders. The church cannot remain silent before such an abomination… In the name of God, in the name of this suffering people whose cry rises to heaven more loudly each day, I implore you, I beg you, I order you: Stop the repression!
The day after delivering that speech, Oscar Romero was assassinated. Soon afterward, El Salvador descended into a decade-long civil war that claimed the lives of upward of 60,000 El Salvadorans.
Archbishop Romero was killed in the very act of offering the sacrifice of the Mass, almost in the act of elevating the Eucharistic elements. Simply by portraying this event essentially as it happened, Romero presents the archbishop's life and death as a sacrifice in union with the sacrifice of Christ.
This final sacrifice is foreshadowed by other Masses offered under threatening or difficult circumstances. The Mass, we see, is a bold and radical act, even in a way a revolutionary act: for in the Mass Jesus is with us and in us. The Mass is the fullest earthly expression of that divine solidarity with which the Lord himself challenged one of the church's earliest oppressors: "Why are you persecuting me?"
It's a question that continues to apply to all who persecute God's children anywhere in the world.
Note: Some viewers used to the American custom of using the honorific "monsignor" only for specially honored priests may be thrown by references in the film to Romero as "Monsignor" both before and after his appointment as archbishop, but in Latin America the honorific extends also to bishops. Romero is a bishop (not just a "monsignor") at the time of his election to the archbishopric.

Unemployment Ends and Still No Job
By Alison Hinson, AlisonHinsonMBA.com
You pick up the mail and see something you've been dreading for months: notification that your unemployment benefits have finally run out. This has been your only income for the past year and you still don't have a job. Things might seem dire, but there are ways to keep money flowing in and less flowing out.
Desperate Times Call for Desperate (Financial) Measures
Get rid of any expenses, contracts, and payments that you (1) don't truly need and (2) can get out of without paying a penalty fee. I recommend keeping your internet and cell service since they are necessary for your job search, but everything else can go: cable, gym, Netflix, eating out, etc. In a recent JobsInRI.com poll, "Dining Out" was voted the first expense to cut.
Without an income, your goal is to spend as little money as possible. If you want a humorous take on this experience, try to get your hands on a free copy of Bitter Is the New Black, a very funny account of how one couple handled unemployment.
Hi Ho, Hi Ho, to the Temp Agency I Go
Working as a temp is a tried and true strategy for people in search of both a job and a paycheck. Register with a few temp agencies in your area, and contact them on a weekly basis to see if they have any jobs that meet your needs. Temping is a great way to network and showcase your skills to potential employers. Don't hesitate to let the temp agency know if there are specific companies you want to work for.
The Best Things in Life Are Free
You've been given the gift of time in lieu of a paycheck, so get out and do some things that you didn't have time for when you were working. I had an unemployed friend who complained that they didn't have money to do anything fun. Another friend pointed to the local paper, which was full of promotions for free activities. Check out the event listings in the back of your local newspaper for some free or low-cost activities.
Running out of unemployment is not ideal, but there are other ways to earn money, reduce your spending, and have a little fun in the meantime.

In March, art curator Shamim Momin commissioned 57 contemporary artists, from Terence Koh and Nate Lowman to Sue de Beer, to create works inspired by rock 'n' roll posters for an exhibit during the South by Southwest Festival in Austin, Tex. Now, Momin, director of the nonprofit art organization Los Angeles Nomadic Division, has recruited the same talents for a new show of poster-based works, "The Secret (Still) Knows," on display at the Lab in Culver City, Calif., through Aug. 16.
The project was celebrated Wednesday night with a benefit co-hosted by François-Henri Pinault, Salma Hayek, John Baldessari and James Franco, among others, at the home of collector Eugenio López Alonso, president of the Jumex Foundation, a nonprofit organization that supports contemporary Mexican art. And tonight, there will be a cocktail party in honor of the show at the Sunset Tower in Los Angeles.
But this semiconventional trajectory — hang art in a gallery, celebrate with a fancy fete — isn't typical of Momin's style. Since moving to the West Coast after 12 years at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, where she co-curated the 2004 and 2008 biennials, Momin has avoided confining works to four walls. Instead, she's taken advantage of Los Angeles' urban sprawl, displaying pieces everywhere from Videotrons on the Sunset Strip and a sidewalk in downtown to a chicken coop.
"L.A. has become increasingly relevant in the contemporary art world," Momin says. "It is part of our mission to do things all over the place and grow L.A. as the center spoke."

I have an antique cabinet that I bought several years ago with a puddle of what I'm guessing to be dried up carpenter's glue in the bottom. It's inside where it doesn't show, but I'm now wanting to sell it and I think removing the glue would facilitate that.
I always try water first, and water does v-e-r-y s-l-o-w-l-y soften the glue to the point where it can be removed, but it's still difficult, and did I mention slow? Chipping it up with a chisel is also an option (although it chips the wood, that's better than the glue), but it's very awkward to work at the back of the bottom shelf. Is there a better way? I have both heat gun and and and IR stripping tool, would either of these work? Thanks for any assistance, KarinL |
Follow-Up Postings:
Try a cabinet scraper. It won't gouge the wood like the chisel |
Here is a link that might be useful: cabinet scraper
Thanks for suggesting a better tool, Aidan, I tend to try to do everything with a flexible scraper. In this case, my husband was so sure a heat gun would work that I finally agreed to try it - it's a tool I usually hate using. But this time it was worth it - heat softens the glue to nice workable consistency so it pulls away quite cleanly. So it's done! KarinL |

Leek Pie (Prasopita)
From EatingWell.com
The traditional Easter version of prasopita is quite high in fat, but this Lenten version is equally delicious. If you would prefer not to make your own pastry, substitute eight sheets of commercial phyllo dough, brushing each layer with the egg-white mixture.

- 1 cup(s) all-purpose white flour, plus additional for kneading and rolling
- 1/2 teaspoon(s) (plus a pinch) salt
- 1/2 teaspoon(s) baking powder
- 6 tablespoon(s) water
- 3 tablespoon(s) extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- 1 large egg white
- 1 tablespoon(s) sesame seeds
- 1.5 tablespoon(s) extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 pound(s) (about 16) leeks, trimmed, split lengthwise, thoroughly cleaned and cut in 1-inch pieces
- 1 cup(s) finely chopped fresh parsley
- 1/3 cup(s) finely chopped fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon(s) finely chopped fresh mint
- 1/2 teaspoon(s) freshly grated lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon(s) lemon juice
- Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon(s) rice or bulgur
- To make pastry: Sift flour, salt and baking powder into a large bowl. Stir in enough water to make a dough that is soft but not wet. Stir in 1 tablespoon of the oil. Turn out onto a floured work surface and knead until smooth and elastic, 8 to 10 minutes, adding flour as needed. (Alternatively, combine flour, salt and baking powder in a food processor. With the motor running, slowly add water until the dough forms a ball. Add 1 tablespoon of the oil and process for 30 seconds. Turn out onto a floured work surface and knead briefly.) Cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 1 to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
- To make filling and assemble pie: Heat oil in a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Add as much of the sliced leeks as will fit in the pan, adding the remainder as the first batch cooks down. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 12 to 15 minutes. (Reduce heat to low if the leeks begin to brown, and add a little water if they begin to stick.) Transfer to a medium bowl and let cool. Toss with parsley, dill, mint, lemon juice and zest. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly oil a shallow 2-quart baking dish or coat with nonstick cooking spray.
- Whisk together egg white, the remaining 2 tablespoons oil and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Divide dough into 2 portions, one portion slightly larger than the other. Cut each portion in half. On a floured surface, roll out one of the larger pieces into a circle about 1 inch larger than the baking dish. Pick up the dough and ease it into the dish. Stretch dough so that it extends to the lip of the dish. Brush with the egg-white mixture. Repeat with the second larger piece, laying it over the first and brushing with the egg-white mixture.
- Sprinkle rice or bulgur over the dough in the dish; this will soak up juices as the pie cooks. Spoon in the leek mixture. Roll out one of the remaining pieces of dough into a circle the same size as the dish. Place it over the filling and brush with the egg-white mixture. Repeat with the remaining dough, brushing the top with the egg-white mixture. Pinch top and bottom crusts together to seal. With a fork or the tip of a sharp knife, prick the top decoratively. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake until golden, about 1 hour. Serve hot or at room temperature.

BYOD, or Bring Your Own Device, is exploding within almost every organisation. What is it? BYOD is where staff or pupils bring their own Internet enabled devices, such as smart phones and tablets, into the work place and want to connect to the Internet via your local network. In some cases, they may also want to share files on the local network or connect to application servers.
Mobile Internet Security
One of the main challenges is that these devices are the property of the member of staff or pupil and as such it is difficult for IT administrators to configure or install applications on those devices to increase security. These "unmanaged" or BYOD devices, if allowed to connect, can often browse the web anonymously leaving the organisation liable for any inappropriate web sites accessed.
To address the BYOD concerns of our customers, CensorNet has made available the Cloud Gateway software appliance as part of its hybrid cloud web filtering solution. The Cloud Gateway can be placed on a Wi-Fi or wired network and it will transparently intercept web traffic, authenticate devices and ensure that web activity is monitored and controlled. No configuration or app is required on the device, therefore IT administrators have an easy to implement web access policy for BYOD. The following diagram shows a typical deployment of Cloud Gateway within a corporate network:
Once installed, it allows anonymous devices to be authenticated using Active Directory or basic authentication. The authentication happens via a Captive Portal, which is a web based login form, and you are able to customise this page to suit your organisation and terms of access. A screenshot of the Captive Portal page is shown below:
You can read more about the hybrid cloud web filtering solution or request a 30 day evaluation.

Ok I just wanted to start a thread for the luncheon. I Spoke with Marcy and she said she could some tables to put the food on if anyone has an extra one they could bring that would be great.
I'm going to bring some baked goodies since that's my specialty. Cathie |

Hey Cathie. Good idea for the separate thread -- the other one's getting kinda' lengthy lol. I think I can bring one of those 6 foot folding tables. As long as I have room for it plus the plants I should be good to go. I'm pondering towing a separate trailer lol!! Squirrellypete |
Well, Cathie, I'm glad you started this. Unfortunately I once again cannot commit to anything because my daughter will be going to State finals for her gymnastics team "sometime" during the weekend of April 28-30, in Cobb County. I'm sorry I'm such a sketchy gardener on this forum but life continually intervenes. If her meet is not smack during the spring trade I will be there with food... ;^) |
I'm planning to bring carrot cake again. It it on Saturday, April 29, just to confirm? And what time? I'll probably bring something else as well, but not sure what yet. |
- Posted by girlgroupgirl 8 Atlanta (My Page) on Thu, Mar 23, 06 at 15:17
Debbie, my hubby will be there this time, and I think he'll have his plate ready for cake the minute we start the trade :) I will bring something. I'm not sure exactly what yet either. Something vegetarian, possibly vegan. Most certainly gluten free. Y'all at the "compost" I served up last time (my FIL calls my cooking "compost', lol. ) |
- Posted by lindabeth1 7 (My Page) on Mon, Mar 27, 06 at 13:19
My DH and I will have out-of-state company that day (wouldn't you KNOW it) but plan to come, anyway. We will NOT stay for lunch. But I HATE missing the carrot cake,to say nothing of the oysters!! |
- Posted by kathyga_z7 Cumming (My Page) on Mon, Mar 27, 06 at 20:27
I am going to bring some sort of salad. Broccoli salad maybe? |
I will bring something as well. I am not sure what yet, maybe cookies. Uli |
- Posted by sharon_ga_zone7 (My Page) on Mon, Apr 3, 06 at 19:22
We will bring something vegetarian. We were thinking about pasta salad... byo plate?! |
Did I say Oysters were on the menu? I'll have to get a vote on that. Not to mention an oven is required also or they just aren't the same. This all has to be cleared with Marcy first of course. Do I bring some Oysters Marcy? I do love to cook,,,,,,, and eat! |
I'm voting "yes" on those oysters, if they're the same luscious ones we had last time. They were wonderful. I'll trade carrot cake for those any time. Also, I took home a pile of the shells and they made a great addition to my compost pile. |
sounds good to me :) i have no problem with y'all using the oven if needed. we also have a grill, if anyone wants to grill anything. the DH and i will make something but i'm not sure what yet. we do have planty of plastic cups and plates, though. if anyone else wants to bring forks/spoons and napkins, that would be great. |
Not enough votes for oysters so I will be bringing some other tidbits. |
My heart is broken because we will have no oysters. I had just gone ahead and scattered the last oyster shells throughout the flowerbeds because I was counting on getting more for the compost pile, too. Boo hoo. But maybe those other tasty tidbits will be a nice surprise? |
How 'bout a trade? My oysters for your carrot cake. You make me a cake to take home and I will give you 4 dozen oysters ready for the oven. And if I was to do that I would also bring enough for all at the luncheon too. Sound like a deal? |
- Posted by plants4meuc Ga zone 7 (My Page) on Fri, Apr 21, 06 at 8:04
Hey I don't see a lot for lunch.. Are people unable to stay? I think I will change my item to finger sandwiches. On the type I'm not sure probably something to do with chicken. Cathie |
vroomp, if I had two cake holders I'd do it, but I only have one. Plus I live alone and honestly, 4 dozen oysters eaten by myself would likely kill me, wouldn't they? But this is a trade I'd really like to make with you at some other time. Let's talk at the trade about this and figure out a time when I might be having company who can help me eat them, that would also be convenient for you to make them. I'm also not going home directly from the trade, but going on to Crawford Georgia in Oglethorpe County to the Ninth Annual Old Timey Seed Swap. Anyone else going to that? |

Vroomp, You are going to break some hearts if you don't bring oysters. I haven't decided yet what I'll bring, but I am leaning toward something heartier. We seem to have sweets and salad covered. Linda Gail |
i don't know what I'm bringing either, but I am bringing something. I was going to wait and look on Friday morning to see what we still needed, since I do my shopping on Fridays (when it gets too hot to dig up plants, that is:) and cook Friday night (when it gets too dark to dig up plants:) I was also leaning towards main-coursish items. |

I am bringing a bean salad to the trade. Also, there has been no mention of beverages. Marcy, what beverages do you need? I can have plastic cutlery there for us to use too. And probably extra napkins. GGG |
- Posted by kathyga_z7 Cumming (My Page) on Sun, Apr 23, 06 at 22:53
I vote for the oysters please Vroomp! |
poor Vroomp :) how about if the DH and I provide cups, plates, and drinks? (thanks, glynis; i probably wouldn't even have remembered about drinks) |
i think we should all bring carrot cakes, and then vroomp can taste them all:) if we are going to badger him into oysters, that is. |
Ok, Ok Ya'll win! I will bring oysters for all. Geez, gardeners, phhhttt!~ I know you all only want the shells. |
I definitely want the shells! But only after I've eaten a sufficient quantity of the oysters inside!! Forget the plant trade, I'm honestly just coming for the oysters. . . and I really love the idea of everyone else bringing a carrot cake, for a carrot cake binge. It would be great to try a lot of different carrot cakes. then maybe in the fall we could have nothing but chocolate cakes??? yum. |
so definitely I am bringing cocktail sausages cooked in red wine. (it glazes 'em.) very nice with oysters:) and whatever else i find in the fridge and/or or have time to fix, what with digging plants:) |
- Posted by squirrellypete z7b GA (My Page) on Thu, Apr 27, 06 at 20:55
I know they aren't fancy but we're gonna' bring some egg salad sandwiches. Marcy, we're bringing my mom's car after all so I can't bring that extra folding table. Sorry about that. We're not sure if we can stay for lunch or not but we'll bring some grub regardless. 2 days to go -- the countdown continues. Squirrellypete |
Hooray for Vroomp! I can't wait for those oysters! |
It looks like we will have more food than we can eat. I'll bring a gallon of Sweet and a gallon on unsweet tea and some cokes. |
the lunch sounds awesome, but i am beginning to be nervous about tables. is anyone bringing one? if not i'm sure we can improvise something... :) |
I am bringing a folding table. It's not a big one, just one of the normal ones that 4 chairs would fit around. See you tomorrow! |

- Range Rover Evoque receives global honour: announced as Supreme Winner of the Women's World Car of the Year 2012
- Award judged on female-focused criteria: panel of 17 worldwide women motoring writers judge Evoque to be best model with regard to women's car purchasing priorities
- Further independent acclaim for Evoque's multi-dimensional appeal: dynamic new Range Rover has received more than 110 global awards
The Range Rover Evoque has been named Supreme Winner of the Women's World Car of the Year 2012, as well as the top-ranked model in the luxury car category. This latest success sustains the exceptional acclaim with which Evoque has been greeted around the world, reflected in more than 110 separate honours.
The Women's World Car of the Year is judged by a panel of 17 women motoring writers from around the world. Each vehicle considered for an award is rated according to criteria which reflect issues that are important to women car buyers. These include practical elements, such as safety, the amount of storage space, child-friendliness, environmental performance and value for money, and also elements such as design aesthetics.
Having achieved the highest marks in the luxury car section, the Range Rover Evoque went on to be named their Car of the Year. Although the results have been announced this week, official presentation of the trophy to Land Rover will take place at the Paris Motor Show in September.
Responding to the news of this latest honour, John Edwards, Land Rover Global Brand Director said: "The Women's World Car of the Year title further reflects the great market reach of Evoque. Across the world, women are a customer base in their own right, so it is vital for any manufacturer to ensure their products meet their preferences and requirements.
"As a vehicle designed, engineered and built in Britain, the Range Rover Evoque continues to demonstrate its world-class appeal. We are delighted that as well as the 111 honours it has received for its design, engineering and performance, it has proved just as successful in terms of excellent global sales."
The all-new Range Rover Sport will make its global premiere in a ground breaking live drive through Manhattan, New York, on 27 March (AEDT).
The Land Rover Discovery 4 has been crowned 4X4 of the Year by 4X4 Australia magazine in a rigorous four-day test conducted by seven off-road experts in rural NSW.
Land Rover is continuing to champion British innovation and cutting-edge automotive engineering by unveiling seven new Electric Defender models at the Geneva Motor Show.

New CGD Partnership: Commitment to Equity Assessments of Impact of Fiscal Policy
We are pleased to announce a new Commitment to Equity (CEQ)partnership with the Center for Global Development (CGD). CGD works to reduce global poverty and inequality through rigorous research and active engagement with the policy community to make the world a more prosperous, just, and safe place for us all. CGD's role as a partner of CEQ will be to share the global reach of their communications platform. Through a new Commitment to Equity sub-topic within their inequality topic, they will post links to CEQ studies as they become available, the CEQ papers that are jointly published with CGD, and occasional blog posts. We look forward to working with CGD and are honored to have it as a CEQ partner. !
Gates Foundation awards US$580,000 to Tulane University to apply the CEQ in Ghana and Tanzania
Nora Lustig --Samuel Z. Stone Professor of Economics, senior associate research fellow at CIPR and nonresident fellow at the Center for Global Development and the Inter-American Dialogue-- has been awarded a US$580,000 grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to study the impact of fiscal policy on inequality and poverty in low-income countries.
Lustig is co-founder and director of the Commitment to Equity (CEQ)--a project jointly sponsored by CIPR and the Department of Economics at Tulane University and the Inter-American Dialogue--designed to analyze the impact of taxes and social spending on inequality and poverty, and to provide a roadmap for governments, multilateral institutions, and nongovernmental organizations in their efforts to build more equitable societies (www.commitmenttoequity.org). To date, the project has analyzed and compared the incidence of taxation and social spending in twelve Latin American countries, and studies are currently under way in three additional Latin American countries and six countries in other regions of the world.
The grant will enable Lustig and her team to implement the analysis in two pilot countries in Africa, Ghana and Tanzania, as well as to adapt the CEQ methodology to encompass the idiosyncrasies of low-income countries. She will work alongside co-principal investigators James Alm, Chair of the Economics Department, and Sean Higgins, Economics PhD student.
By undertaking a thorough and transparent analysis of who bears the burden of taxation and who receives the benefits of public spending, the project ultimately hopes to foster evidence-based policy discussion and, ideally, implementation of reforms related to taxation, public spending, and social programs in the two countries.(11/8/2013)
On June 10-12, the CEQ project joined forces with the Poverty Reduction and Economic Management group of the World Bank to launch pilot studies in Armenia, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Jordan, South Africa and Sri Lanka. (6/10/2013) Click here.
Nora Lustig was appointed Vice-chair of the Board of Directors of the Global Development Network (GDN), a public International Organization that builds research capacity in development globally.

Professors Jim Alm, Nora Lustig, and Steven Sheffrin discuss implications of changing the tax code. Click here to Download

3/13/13: Brazil eliminates federal indirect taxes on basic needs basket
On March 8, Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff announced the end of federal indirect taxes on all items in the basic needs basket (primarily food), effective immediately.
Although basic needs will still be taxed at the state level, this will reduce their cost by between 9.25% and 12.5%, depending on the product.
The estimated yearly cost to the government of these tax expenditures is R$ 7.3 billion (about US$3.75 billion). The CEQ study for Brazil has shown that indirect taxes paid by the poor often surpass the cash benefits they receive from the government; this measure will therefore not only reduce inflation but also contribute to reducing poverty.

Other Pets at Don't Dump That Dog
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Mikey, a Raymond Shepherd (Unknown Type) puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Shepherd (Unknown Type) for sale in Raymond, or seeking a Shepherd (Unknown Type) puppy from a breeder in Raymond.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Raymond already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Raymond breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Shepherd (Unknown Type) breeders who help with Shepherd (Unknown Type) rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Raymond paves the way for another one to be saved.

LUCKNOW: After the National Rural Health Mission rip off, Congress is gearing for yet another RTI battle. This time the target is the Integrated Child Development Scheme (ICDS). Over past two months members of UPCC ICDS monitoring committee have toured 20 districts across the state to assess the ground situation and spot anomalies in the UPA's flagship scheme.
"The surveys have opened a can of worms," chairperson Savita Singh. Instructed to blow the lid off, the members have begun filing applications to get requisite details in each district. The exercise commenced on December 9, the birthday of party chief Sonia Gandhi and so far, as many as 1,200 applications have already been filed. The number is expected to reach 1,700 by the month-end.
The exercise gained momentum after Rahul Gandhi's two day visit to UPCC headquarters last week. In a super aggressive mode Rahul had urged party functionaries to go all out to nail Maya government on corruption. The MP, party sources claimed "seemed to be extremely keen about exposing the graft and flaws in ICDS implementation." There are reports of wide-scale irregularities, which have been duly corroborated by e-centres team led by DK Sikri secretary in the department of women and child development after it toured the rural belt around capital last November.
Though fearing a delayed response from the RTI office, Singh hopes the "Ball will start rolling by January, when reply to first batch of queries will begin to pour in."
Talking to TOI, Singh complained about scams unearthed by 18-member Congress team in pockets around Lucknow, Sitapur, Hardoi, Barabanki and Kannauj. Though officially the government has set up 47,179 anganwadi centres, a random spot check has thrown up quite a few surprises. In Sitapur alone, the team came across three centres, which existed only on papers, Singh claimed. "The rooms in other two were not large enough to accommodate five children while the number on roll varied between 60 and 70," she said.
More than 50% of centres inspected by the team, Singh claimed showed bloated figures many times higher than the actual attendance. Moreover, the Pushtahaar (nutritious food) provided under the scheme, she said were found to be available in the open market in the peripheral districts. "In Sitapur the team has recorded statements of milkmen, who claim that they buy panjiri for Rs 15 a kg and sell it as animal fodder at Rs 30 a kg," Singh said.
The findings have already caused a flutter in the Congress camp, an excited UPCC president Rita Bahuguna Joshi feels that the revelation could actually turn out to be equally if not more shocking than the NRHM expose and make for a perfect arsenal for the poll battle ahead.

I have read you cannot seed your lawn for 12 weeks after applying Crabgrass Killer. We have some areas that need to be seeded in our lawn here in S/E Ontario. Do we have enough time to seed before the Crabgrass Killer has to be put on???? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Seed with cheapest grass seed now. When that is 2" high, apply the pre-emergence crab grass killer. In late Aug or Sept reseed with good seed. Best I can do for you from down here. I"m not a grass specialist. Perhaps some one who is will get on and tell me what I am full of. |
I disagree with using cheap grass seed anytime. What you get with inexpensive seed is a lawn that will die the first time the sun hits it in summer. Hold off the weed killer--do that when the weeds are growing their best and seed now to get the best of the spring rains. The soil temperature though is the key factor...we have to get some decent warm weather to affect the soil temperature so that seed will germinate properly. |
- Posted by tsugajunkie z5 SE WI (My Page) on Thu, May 5, 11 at 22:44
By the time the grass is well germinated and high enough, it will be too late for pre-emergants. I'd skip that this year. tj |

I am working on a bowling ball, and it appears that my sealant is not drying. According to the directions on the tube, it should be tacky within 30 minutes and dry in 24. Well, it is only slightly tacky after 24. It is the kind that everyone is using for windows. Do any of you have this problem? Thanks for any advice you can give.

Sometimes you get a bad tube that wont set up..... |
I only use GE Silicone II..there is a difference I think in that and the one for windows. If you can read it, it may say it stays flexible. |
- Posted by chickencollecter (My Page) on Sun, Jun 1, 08 at 19:20
I've never had a problem...I use only GEII Be Safe, Rach |
Thanks everyone. I have a feeling it is an old or bad tube. I like all projects to go smoothly. :) Luckily, I had only just begun. |
I could only find the GE silicone for doors and windows and it set up in minutes, made three marble balls friday. |
lindasc: That is the kind I used, and I wish I could have been so lucky. I really wanted to have fun with this project this weekend. Oh, well. I will get a new tube tomorrow and let the fun begin. |
- Posted by deborah1175 Athens Georgia (My Page) on Mon, Jun 2, 08 at 10:52
Check the date on the tube before you buy it. Last time I checked at WalMart, EVERY tube of GE II was out of date. Deborah |
Bought a new tube, and it works perfectly. Happy for that. Thanks everyone again. |

Lately, I have had several times when GE silicone has not dried -'cured'. The day after applying, I can wipe the caulking out like toothpaste! I have used this silicone (probably 100 to 200+ tubes) for years, but something is wrong now. Even the hardware dealer is baffeled. I called the 'help' number on the caulking tube and the lady I spoke with said perhaps it had overheated in my toolbox. She wanted to know the 'batch number' from the tubes, so I suspect they have been having others call in with the same problem. So, I bought a new tube and the same thing happened. This is VERY frustrating. Please let me know if you learn anything, and I will do the same. |

I have looked for, but never seen an expiration date on a tube of this glue. The last tube I bought at Walmart was hard to squeeze out and came out kinda globby. It also didn't harden like it should. Then I bought one at Lowes and it's been OK. |
