Yes, Marylee..the funeral is planned & her DD's obit was in the paper...for the end March...she shared that her DD served 30 yrs in the Air Force...another special veteran to thank for our freedoms. Jeanne S. |

Jane and Jeanne - Thank you for answering my concerns. I was my mother's caregiver and when she passed away it was really terribly hard. Its been 5 years and I still miss her every day. I am glad Karen has family to help her during this time. - Marylee |
Marylee, Karen will be so happy to know your concerns for her. I just posted a link to share Karen's DD's obit. She is missed so much by all of us and I hope everyone will take time to read and post for her. She is such a caring person and so is everyone here so hope this will help. Punk |
I've been wondering how she is doing also. Very hard to clear out his things so soon after. I didn't remove my hubby's things for months & couldn't have done it at 1st. The service for him may be difficult but it is also a time of getting to see many old friends & relatives. So I'm sure she could use a few words from us!!Prayers & hugs that it gets easier as time goes by. Give his dog a hug for me! Jan |

I'm still trying to adjust to my "new normal" but I'm doing ok for the most part. Jason took me to pick out the headstone today, and it wasn't a sad experience as I'd feared. I was very happy that we both really liked the same one, and I think its going to be a lovely one when done. One more hurtle down. Its been 2 weeks today...I miss him so very much. And I haven't had any interest in getting out shopping to favorite stores now that I can. But I will next week maybe. I think I mentioned services are delayed so long as two of my kids had pre-planned vacations for the end of Feb and first part of March, and I saw no reason for them to change plans. Once we decided on March services, Jason asked if we could have it the 26th. That day will be the 10 yr "anniversary" of his being burned, the start of his new life!! He said it would mean a lot to him to have his grandparents buried on a day that we all carry in our hearts. hugs, Karen |

Good to see you here, Purplemoon! Looks like the 26th was meant to be... a "chosen" day (for you all) in many ways! I was browsing the Inspiration Albums last night & saw the "Tablescapes" link & that you had been adding pics...thank you for all your hard work (again!) Thinking of you & yours...hugs, Jeanne S. |

Gosh, I've heard that people have connections to special numbers. The monumental events in your life seem to indicate that that's true. You know, Karen, the picture that you took of your dad (at Christmas, I think) is such a great photo. Everything you've written about him comes through in that picture. I'm glad to see you poking about here from time-to-time. We miss you so! Take care, OA |

Michael Crabtree is the ideal wide receiver to have in an offense that uses the run as its foundation while supplementing it with quick-strike passing. That's because he's able to make tacklers miss with his short-area quickness, while frequently turning short-to-intermediate routes into long gains.
It's an ability that opens up running lanes for both Frank Gore and Colin Kaepernick, with safeties forced to respect his outside speed, and with a gang tackling mentality immediately in place once he catches the ball. Pleasant green field is also opened up for Vernon Davis, and of course Kaepernick utilizes Crabtree as his primary deep option.
Now, all of that is gone. In May.
Crabtree tore is Achilles during a workout yesterday, according to several sources. The injury will likely end his 2013 season long before it was scheduled to start, although there's hope he could return late in the season. Terrell Suggs and Da'Quan Bowers did just that after recovering from the same injury last year, but — much like Adrian Peterson with his inhuman ACL recovery — they're very much the exception, not the norm.
The fantasy implications of Crabtree's injury are widespread, and both good and bad (mostly bad and horrible). Let's embrace our hopes and fears, and run down this doom-filled list of the various victims on the 49ers' roster, and those set to possibly benefit. I know, we're cold and cruel and terrible.
Colin Kaepernick: There's no way to sprinkle sugar on this. For Kaep, this is a whole lot of hurt.
Of Crabtree's 1,105 total receiving yards in 2012, 536 of them came after the catch. That's a lot of burst, with his yards after catching a ball accounting for 48 percent of Crabtree's regular-season receiving total. Essentially, any time Crabtree received the ball and was given even a sliver of space, there was a chance he'd stretch that into something much more than just a short gain. That YAC ability in turn inflates Kaepernick's passing yards and fantasy point totals.
Crabtree was a favorite and frequent target. During the first eight games of the 2012 season with Alex Smith as his quarterback, Crabtree averaged only 55 receiving yards per game. Then with Kaepernick doing the chucking, his weekly totals jumped to 83.1 yards. His weekly targets also jumped, going from 6.9 under Smith, to nine with Kaepernick.
This is also quite petrifying…
Michael Crabtree: targeted on nearly 40% of routes he ran from Weeks 11-17 with Colin Kaepernick as starter, 2nd in NFL in that span.
— ESPN Stats & Info (@ESPNStatsInfo) May 22, 2013
That's how much Kaepernick is missing now. If we include the playoffs, he's missing the guy he looked to during 90 of his 272 pass attempts in his starts (33 percent). Usually, Mario Manningham would be a fine though not equivalent replacement as he's asked to do his best Crabtree impression. But he'll likely miss most of training camp after ACL and PCL surgeries, and it won't be surprising to see him start the season on the PUP list.
Gulp? Well, sort of. See below.
Anquan Boldin: Boldin could receive most of Crabtree's targets by default, though A.J. Jenkins and Quinton Patton will makes things a little foggy (keep seeing below). Boldin still has plenty left, which he demonstrated most recently with the 104 yards and a touchdown he posted on his now current team during the Super Bowl. Throughout the playoffs he was stupid good, with 380 total yards over the four games, with four touchdowns.
The problem is that he's never played Crabtree's speed game that's filled with elusiveness and such, and with his 33rd birthday coming up in October, this old Boldin dog definitely isn't learning any new quick tricks. He's a sure-handed receiver who runs great routes and is able to find open space. But separating and gaining chunk yardage after the catch isn't his style (his 2012 YAC finished at 267, which was only 29 percent of his overall yardage).
A.J. Jenkins/Quinton Patton: Suddenly, there could be some value here, and it likely resides with Jenkins. He was a first-round pick (30th overall) a year ago for a reason, and that reason is presumably because he's good. A look back at his college numbers verifies that assumption, as he had 1,276 receiving yards during his final season at Illinois.
Jenkins was essentially a luxury pick, and he found a warm and fuzzy home on the bench for pretty much the entire 2012 season while being buried behind Crabtree, Ted Ginn, and Randy Moss. Now those three names are gone due to an injury, free agency, and a general lack of caring, leaving Jenkins and Patton in a battle to become the true outside speed option. I'll lean towards Jenkins for now and give him the early backing as a late-round flier in deep leagues or an early season waiver pickup, partly because Patton may be better utilized as a slot receiver.
With Jenkins, comparisons have been made to Randall Cobb due to his dynamic ability which leads to widespread usage in a variety of formations.
Vernon Davis/Vance McDonald: A few weeks ago I explored the riddle of Vance McDonald, and the possibility that he could be Delanie Walker, just better. The odds of that outcome being reality increased the moment Crabtree ripped a pretty important muscle, especially with how often tight ends are moved around and lined up in the backfield in the 49ers offense.
The riddle that is Vernon Davis in a Kaepernick-led offense is much more difficult to crack, but the subtraction of a primary target — no, the primary target — can only serve to help him and provide some stability, at least in terms of his target volume. Between weeks 12 and 17 this past season — a stretch that includes six of Kaepernick's seven regular-season starts — Davis was targeted only 12 times. Then suddenly during the playoffs, he was targeted 19 times for 254 yards over three games.
If Jenkins and/or Patton aren't able to sufficiently replace Crabtree's vertical ability, the Niners will likely revert to what works best when a completed pass is what they desire: rolling Kaepernick out, and making him look to Davis as his big-bodied, bruising target up the middle.
Update (5:17 p.m. ET): Chris Mortensen is reporting that Crabtree was already carved up and patched up, and now his recovery begins. And how long will that process take? Well, PFT has a pretty optimistic report of six months.
With the fantasy football regular season ending in Week 13 for most leagues, that makes Crabtree little more than a reaching, late-season waiver wire flier. Maybe in the most optimistic scenario in which he returns strong, Crabtree will be a sneaky add for playoff-bound teams.
In reality, he may make a contribution late in the season. But in fantasy, we'll wait until the fall of 2014 to see him do something meaningful again.

So, I noticed, and am sad, that the DW books up to date, at least those I own, have stepped around these autonomous soldiers of Tzeentch, and I kinda want to fix it. Some little things I am wondering, though, are how best to go about it? To facilitiate a Rubric Marine, I'm sort of thinking grab the baseline CSM, lose most of the "personality", give them Machine (X), keep the Chaos Power Armor, and add some type of field, as well as the Termie Slow rules. RM's are thoughtless without Sorcerers directing them, slow as all get out, and tough as adamant. Any changes or additions would be appreciated.
My other quandary, in this regard, Tzeentch hains new Marines, like his brothers do, and I assume most of them have already been "blessed" with the Psyker mutation, and maybe Sorcery, to start them upon a road of rampant mutation and nastyness. I know that, if the breached suits of Rubric Marines canbe recovered, they can be "patched", and the essence that haunts them does return to it, making it a functional Thousand Sons Marine, again, but based on how they were made, can there be any more, or do all later followers of Tzeentch just gain psychic power, and become Thousand Sons Sorcerers of Tzeentch?

Bespoke hand-built frames since 1981.
Read More...Booking your service means that we can ensure that you always have your bike when you need it. Pre-book your service, drop your bike in first thing in the morning (or last thing the day before) and collect at the end of the same day. If your bike requires parts that we may not have in stock, then it will be a bit longer. We always inform and update you via phone, text or email.
For minor servicing such as gears or brakes it's still best to phone ahead and book, although we can cope with some quick adjustments if you just drop by, however, please don't feel offended if we are busy and we are unable to oblige, so it is best to phone and book.
If you don't require a quick turn around or your servicing is more involved such a our Platinum or a hydraulic brake overhall, then turn around will be approximately 3-5 days or arranged to be completed for a day convenient for you to collect. We can sometimes even fit in the odd small job there too, but be aware that we may have to say no if we are really busy. If your bike requires parts that we don't have in stock, then this can add a few days to completion time, but we'll always keep you informed.
Regular servicing will ensure that your bicycle stays safe and comfortable. It will mean that you get the maximum life out of your components and it will help you plan for the replacement of parts as they wear out.
To make it easier for you to predict how much the work will cost we have a range of fixed charges for servicing and adjustments.
If the work required is a little more unusual then we charge an hourly rate of £30 per hour. Our minimum labour charge is £10. Unless specifically stated, these charges are for labour only, you will need to pay for parts on top. If parts are required to be replaced or repaired during any of the servicing, you just pay for the parts and you don't pay any more for labour
If your bicycle is muddy on booking in for servicing and we need to clean it so we can work on it, we will charge you an additional £5.
For tandems there is an aditional charge per fixed service as follows: Boxed assembly, Bronze and Silver +£20; Gold +£40 and Platinum +£60
Service Menu | |
Bronze Service | £39.99 |
Ideal first service tune-up for bikes in good condition but ridden infrequently
Silver Service | £64.99 |

Along with over 30 years for frame building experience, we have built a fair few wheels along the way too. Some have been ridden around the world (literally), some raced, a lot used on tandems and heavy duty touring bikes and one pair used for the Paris-Roubaix sportive and are still running round and true on Rob's favourite fixie.
Some shops allow you to 'test ride' a bike around the block. If that is all you want to do, that's fine. But we would prefer you spend a bit more time with the bike that you are considering buying, while exploring the beautiful countryside around the Ironbridge gorge. That way you can make a well informed decision about what suits you best.
Admittedly wheel building is one the more difficult of skills to acquire, however our wheel building courses are taught on a one-to-one basis for at least 2 hours. Within that time you will learn the basis of how to build a wheel from lacing to tensioning with one of our skilled technicians and with the added value of being able to build your very own set of wheels to ride on. You should allow between 4 to 7 hours total in order to complete all the work involved for a pair of wheels.
On the 26th January there is to be a formation meeting for a new cycling club in Ironbridge. The meeting is to... http://t.co/QVcRfwa7G1

"Identity not verified" issue in Chrome
I ran into an interesting issue with a site that I'm involved with. This week we started to receive reports of a warning in Chrome that says "Identity not verified". This is for a site that has been running happily for quite some time. I'm writing this in November 2014.
At first the warning only happened for some users, and only in Chrome, making it more difficult to track down. Furthermore, the warning message in Chrome didn't give many clues as to the real issue.
I theorized that it had something to do with a recent update from Chrome, but at first I wasn't able to prove that. Here's what the message looked like:
You can tell that something is wrong, but you can't really tell what it is. After some research and eventually becoming suspect that it was Chrome 39 that introduce the issue, we were able to find out the authoritative answer for this.
A blog post from the Chrome team in September provides the story:
That's why Chrome will start the process of sunsetting SHA-1 (as used in certificate signatures for HTTPS) with Chrome 39 in November. HTTPS sites whose certificate chains use SHA-1 and are valid past 1 January 2017 will no longer appear to be fully trustworthy in Chrome's user interface.
Notice that the certificate expires September 2017 and that it is signed and hashed with SHA-1.
Well, it's November, we've just received the Chrome 39 update, and we have a SHA-1 certificate that is valid past January 1, 2017. That's us!
SHA-1 (secure hash algorithm) has been used for years to sign and hash various objects, including SSL certificates. In 2005 it was determined to be insecure.
As a result, Microsoft and Mozilla have both announced plans to stop supporting SHA-1 certificates in 2017. Google has announced that it will do the same in a phased way leading up to 2017. And, that's exactly what happened here.
Chrome has started by showing warnings for SHA-1 certificates which have an expiration date that is past January 1st 2017. So, those with a SHA-1 certificate, who purchased it for a few years in advance, should see this warning in Chrome now.
I do appreciate Chrome being proactive in pushing for a more secure internet, but I'm not a fan of them dinging those with longer running certificates well in advance of the 2017 date. I'm currently in the processing of asking our certificate authority to replace our certificate, and I assume that they will do so, but those with longer running certificates also have the most invested into them with the most to lose. They could have waited at least another year before turning on this warning. In any case, it is good to update to SHA-2 and it's a good end result.
This month is the beginning of when this should start to occur, but you should see more of these over the next couple years. Longer running certificates will be hit first, and then as we get closer, other certificates will receive the warnings. IE, Firefox, Safari and other browsers may start to issue warnings leading up to 2017.
So, if you have been impacted by this, and you're a site owner, you should contact your certificate authority and ask for them to reissue your certificate using SHA-2 instead.
If you are a web user and you see this warning, you can contact the site owner to make sure that they are aware of the warning. The site is no less secure today than it was last month, but Google is starting to bring awareness to the less secure SHA-1 signed certificates.
IIS: Using Windows Authentication with Minimal Permissions Granted to Disk
I had a question asked me recently regarding Windows auth and NTFS permissions. Here's the question:
URL Rewrite vs. Redirect; What's the difference?
IIS URL Rewrite has five different types of actions. They are: Rewrite, Redirect, Custom Response, Abort Request, and None. And if you have ARR (Application Request Routing) installed, then at the server level you'll also see Route to Server Farm. The two most common actions are the Rewrite and the Redirect.
Master the Developer and IT Pro job interviews like you would a game boss
Software developer and IT Pro job interviews can be a lot of fun when you're prepared for them, but they can be scary and overwhelming when you're not. Since this is regarding your job which you'll spend 50% of your waking hours at during the week, the more at ease you are with the interviews, the better you're going to be at landing your ideal job.
Creating a Reverse Proxy with URL Rewrite for IIS
There are times when you need to reverse proxy through a server. The most common example is when you have an internal web server that isn't exposed to the internet, and you have a public web server accessible to the internet. If you want to serve up traffic from the internal web server, you can do this through the public web server by creating a tunnel (aka reverse proxy).
Prepending www to 2nd level domain names
A fairly common request for URL Rewrite is to prepend a www to all 2nd level domains, regardless of the domain name. Consider the following domain names:
Why is the IIS default app pool recycle set to 1740 minutes?
Microsoft IIS Server has what appears to be an odd default for the application pool recycle time. It defaults to 1740 minutes, which is exactly 29 hours. I've always been a bit curious where that default came from. If you're like me, you may have wondered too.
Using WebDAV with ARR
Application Request Routing (ARR) is a great solution for load balancing and other proxying needs. I'm a big fan and have written often about it.
Handing MVC paths with dots in the path
A friend of mine asked me recently how to handle a situation with a dot (.) in the path for an MVC project. The path looked something like this:
Windows 8 / IIS 8 Concurrent Requests Limit
IIS 8 on Windows Server 2012 doesn't have any fixed concurrent request limit, apart from whatever limit would be reached when resources are maxed.

DAB+ Adding More Digital Choices Down Under
A report in the Sidney Morning Herald says that Australian digital radio is in the process of adding more programming options for digital listeners in the five metro markets where DAB+ service is currently offered.
Some of the offerings cited in the article reflect DAB+ technology's dynamic channel management capability within a given multiplex. Examples include commercial programmer Austereo, which currently offers a specialty rock channel with alternating theme-based programming. Public broadcaster ABC is also using alternate multiplex channels to provide an additional venue for special events such as national cricket matches that can run concurrently with normally scheduled programming.
While a little more than half of all DAB+ programming is currently being offered via analog signals, some smaller community stations are also making the digital transition. Nine community broadcasters in Melbourne -- including some that are now AM only -- will soon join the multiplex there, thanks to funding from Australia's Community Broadcasting Foundation.
Applications for similar grants from 37 other community stations are currently pending in the cities of Melbourne, Adelaide, Sydney, Perth, Brisbane.

Mariah Carey Slammed By Human Rights Group In Angola
The Human Rights Foundation is lashing out at Mariah Carey for her recent performance at a gala for the Angolan Red Cross on Sunday (Dec. 15), where she was reportedly paid a whooping $1 million.
The daughter of Angola's President, José Eduardo dos Santos, owns the mobile phone company Unitel that sponsored the event, sparking backlash from the human rights group for being associated with the "notoriously corrupt" dictator, THR reports.
"Mariah Carey can't seem to get enough dictator cash, reportedly more than $1 million this time," HRF president Thor Halvorssen said in a statement. "Just five years ago she performed for the family of Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi. Now, she goes from private performances to public displays of support and credibility for one of Africa's chief human rights violators and most corrupt tyrants. It is the sad spectacle of an international artist purchased by a ruthless police state to entertain and whitewash the father-daughter kleptocracy that has amassed billions in ill-gotten wealth while the majority of Angola lives on less than $2 a day."
The Shepherd of the Lambily isn't the only music star to come under fire for her overseas endeavors. The HRF has also slammed Jennifer Lopez and Kanye West for their appearances abroad.

The Message (MSG) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 My head is high, God, held high; | 1 To you, O LORD, I lift up my soul; |
2 I'm looking to you, God; No hangdog skulking for me. | 2 in you I trust, O my God. Do not let me be put to shame, nor let my enemies triumph over me. |
3 I've thrown in my lot with you; You won't embarrass me, will you? Or let my enemies get the best of me? Don't embarrass any of us Who went out on a limb for you. It's the traitors who should be humiliated. | 3 No one whose hope is in you will ever be put to shame, but they will be put to shame who are treacherous without excuse. |
4 Show me how you work, God; School me in your ways. | 4 Show me your ways, O LORD, teach me your paths; |
5 Take me by the hand; Lead me down the path of truth. You are my Savior, aren't you? | 5 guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long. |
6 Mark the milestones of your mercy and love, God; Rebuild the ancient landmarks! | 6 Remember, O LORD, your great mercy and love, for they are from of old. |
7 Forget that I sowed wild oats; Mark me with your sign of love. Plan only the best for me, God! | 7 Remember not the sins of my youth and my rebellious ways; according to your love remember me, for you are good, O LORD. |
8 God is fair and just; He corrects the misdirected, Sends them in the right direction. | 8 Good and upright is the LORD; therefore he instructs sinners in his ways. |
9 He gives the rejects his hand, And leads them step-by-step. | 9 He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them his way. |
10 From now on every road you travel Will take you to God. Follow the Covenant signs; Read the charted directions. | 10 All the ways of the LORD are loving and faithful for those who keep the demands of his covenant. |
11 Keep up your reputation, God; Forgive my bad life; It's been a very bad life. | 11 For the sake of your name, O LORD, forgive my iniquity, though it is great. |
12 My question: What are God-worshipers like? Your answer: Arrows aimed at God's bull's-eye. | 12 Who, then, is the man that fears the LORD? He will instruct him in the way chosen for him. |
13 They settle down in a promising place; Their kids inherit a prosperous farm. | 13 He will spend his days in prosperity, and his descendants will inherit the land. |
14 God-friendship is for God-worshipers; They are the ones he confides in. | 14 The LORD confides in those who fear him; he makes his covenant known to them. |
15 If I keep my eyes on God, I won't trip over my own feet. | 15 My eyes are ever on the LORD, for only he will release my feet from the snare. |
16 Look at me and help me! I'm all alone and in big trouble. | 16 Turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am lonely and afflicted. |
17 My heart and kidneys are fighting each other; Call a truce to this civil war. | 17 The troubles of my heart have multiplied; free me from my anguish. |
18 Take a hard look at my life of hard labor, Then lift this ton of sin. | 18 Look upon my affliction and my distress and take away all my sins. |
19 Do you see how many people Have it in for me? How viciously they hate me? | 19 See how my enemies have increased and how fiercely they hate me! |
20 Keep watch over me and keep me out of trouble; Don't let me down when I run to you. | 20 Guard my life and rescue me; let me not be put to shame, for I take refuge in you. |
21 Use all your skill to put me together; I wait to see your finished product. | 21 May integrity and uprightness protect me, because my hope is in you. |
22 God, give your people a break From this run of bad luck. | 22 Redeem Israel, O God, from all their troubles! |

YANGON - In a move that incites hatred against a persecuted Muslim minority, thousands of Buddhist monks have marched across Burma to demand the expulsion of Bengali-ethnic Muslims, known as Rohingyas, from the country.
The protest was to "let the world know that Rohingya are not among Myanmar's ethnic groups at all, Wirathu, the monk who led the march, told Agence France-Presse (AFP) on Tuesday, September 4.
Wearing their traditional deep red robes, thousands of monks marched in Mandalay, the country's second-largest city, on Sunday to demand the expulsion of Rohingya Muslims from the country.
Burma Monks Fuel Rohingya Muslim Hatred
Rohingya Muslims...An Open Wound
Rohingya Muslims Recall Burma HorrorsAmnesty Deplores Rohingya Muslims Abuses
"Protect Mother Myanmar by supporting the President," read one banner, referring to President Thein Sein's suggestion to deport Rohingyas to a third country.
In July, the Burmese president commented on the website of UN High Commissioner for Refugees Antonio Guterres that it was impossible to accept the illegally entered Rohingya, who are not our ethnicity.
He even suggested sending Rohingya Muslims to a third country or to UN-administrated camps.
We have lived peacefully among different religions and ethnicities for years. But we now have these illegal Bengali immigrants demanding to be recognized as a native ethnic group and asking to be granted citizenship, Wirathu said.
We want people to know the truth, that the Rohingya are not Burmese and that they are not a peaceful group.
Described by the UN as one of the world's most persecuted minorities, Rohingya Muslims are facing a catalogue of discrimination in their homeland.
They have been denied citizenship rights since an amendment to the citizenship laws in 1982 and are treated as illegal immigrants in their own home.
The Burmese government as well as the Buddhist majority refuse to recognize the term "Rohingya", referring to them as "Bengalis".
Thousands of Rohingya Muslims were forced to flee their homes after ethnic violence rocked the western state of Rakhine in July after the killing of ten Muslims in an attack by Buddhist vigilantes on their bus.
The attack came following the rape and killing of a Buddhist woman, for which three Rohingyas were sentenced to death.
Human rights groups have accused Burmese police and troops of disproportionate use of force and arrests of Rohingyas in the wake of the riots.
Human Rights Watch has accused Burmese security forces of targeting Rohingya Muslims with killing, rape and arrest following the unrest.
Hundreds of Rohingya men and boys have been rounded up and remain incommunicado in the western region of the country, the group said.
Anti-Muslim Hatred
But the monks' march drew fire from human rights groups for fueling hatred against Rohingya Muslims.
The fact that these monks just several years ago were protesting for democracy and human rights, and are today now protesting for exclusion and potential deportation of a particular ethnic group causes some concern that the government in Burma may in fact listen to these kinds of voices, Phil Robertson, Human Rights Watch Deputy Director for Asia, told Voice of America.
In 2007, monks led protests to force the ruling military junta to introduce reforms in the country.
It was very sad to see such kind of actions taken by the monks who have been heavily oppressed and killed in many cases in 2007 during Saffron Revolution, said Soe Aung, a spokesman for Forum for Democracy in Burma.
In July, NGOs have accused monks of blocking international aid to Rohingya Muslims displaced by the violence.
They said that monasteries in Maugdaw and Sittwe have refused to allow international aid to Rohingya Muslims in shelter camps.
The monks even described the aid to Muslim refugees as biased in favor of Rohingyas.
The monks also distributed pamphlets warning Burmese against associating with Rohingya Muslims.
One leaflet issued by monks described the Rohingya as cruel by nature.
It argued that Rohingya Muslims had plans to exterminate other ethnic groups in Burma.Statements were also issued by two monk groups, The Young Monks' Association of Sittwe and Mrauk Oo Monks' Association, calling on Burmese not to associate with Rohingya.

Sports boosters also like to say that having an intercollegiate sports program on campus attracts other students who might otherwise not attend -- friends and relatives of the athletes themselves, usually. Still, precisely how many tagalongs are drawn by sports is a matter of some debate. "One athlete brings one other person with him," claims Geiser, the Adams State athletic director. "With 350 athletes, that equals 700 students, or one-third of our student body."
Cubero, the UCCS athletic director, cites more optimistic figures. "Every student athlete brings in ten to fifteen other students," he insists. Regardless of the numbers, proponents argue that the negligible cost of supporting a campus's athletic habit is more than made up by the money the athletes pay in tuition.
Once again, however, such reasoning doesn't really apply to Metro State. With an enrollment of 20,000 full- and part-time students, adding 250 -- or even 500 -- to the rolls is probably not enough of a financial incentive to fund a full athletic program.
That leaves the somewhat vaguer benefit of an athletic program's public-relations value. High-profile college athletic programs certainly can cash in on their successes. "Last month, [television station] TBS came in and filmed twelve vignettes of our school that they're going to dump into the broadcast of their Saturday football game," boasts Dave Plati, CU-Boulder's director of sports information. "That's pretty good PR value. What would the cost be if you had to buy twelve one-minute spots?"
Yet not all successes are equal, and there are vast differences in how much a victory on the field enhances a school's image. A CU or an Oklahoma may see a surge in student applications after it wins a national Division I football title. But how many undecided students will make up their mind to attend Adams State because the tiny state school in southern Colorado boasts the top Division II men's and women's cross-country teams?
Metro's sports boosters insist the answer is "Enough." "Athletics is the window to the institution," says McDermott. "Much of what you hear about colleges is through their athletic program. Here at Metro, we've been a model program -- not only with winning, but our athletes are good students, as well. We're doing it right."
Between 1994 and 1995, when Arcese instigated his sports program, and this year, Metro's full-time equivalent student enrollment did climb just under 16 percent. Yet it's impossible to know how many of those students came because of the Roadrunners' success on the field and in the gym. After all, according to the state's Commission on Higher Education, FTE enrollment at Colorado's four-year institutions of higher learning as a whole increased at just about the same rate during that eight-year period -- even though most of the schools failed to win a national sports title.
When it comes down to it, the fuss over Metro's sports program is much ado over small change. In a yearly budget of $105 million, a million dollars doesn't really amount to much. You might argue that Denver has enough sports to pay attention to and that the purpose of college is to be found in the classroom, not on a field. On the other hand, athletics are all about human achievement -- certainly not a concept that is foreign to a college.

The individuals invited to perform in the parade are cheerleading and dance All-Americans selected from Varsity camps around the country, including camps organized by Universal Cheerleaders Association (UCA), Universal Dance Association (UDA), National Cheerleaders Association (NCA) and National Dance Alliance (NDA).
All-Americans were in Philadelphia from Nov. 20-23, practicing their routines and visiting Philadelphia landmarks. All-Americans are selected via tryout based on either superior cheerleading or dance skills. Only the top 12 percent of the cheerleaders and dancers who attend Varsity camps earn the chance to march in a holiday spectacular of this caliber.
Smith performed with the All-American group in the annual Thanksgiving Day festivities through the heart of historic Philadelphia, Pa. The event was televised in the Philadelphia area and syndicated throughout the United States.

The MPAA and EFF Cross Sabers
Re:on the contrary (401 comments)
If you modify it slightly, it will apply to DRM as it exists today.
You go buy a Subaru and park it in the street overnight. When you wake up in the morning, the car has disintegrated, and in order to drive to work the next day, you must purchase the car again.
That is DRM in its current state, and once everyone figures out that the RIAA/MPAA sueing spree is really an attempt to enforce a new type of business model (rent-and-never-own), they'll lose popular support for their tactics pretty quick.
Making mix-tapes used to get you chicks. Now it gets you jail time.

I need help with placement of sink and vanity lights in my master bath redo. We have decided to switch to one sink and have a 18 inch cabinet on the top of the right hand side of the vanity.( We need more storage) The vanity is 72 inches long and the cabinet to the right side only is an 18 inch cabinet. My question is this: Should the sink placement be in the middle of the entire length of 72 inch vanity OR in the middle from the end of the cabinet to edge of vanity which would be 54 inches? My contracter had the plumbing installed so the sink would be in the middle of the entire length of vanity. The 3 light vanity light should be centered over the sink and mirror.The electrician has already installed the wiring for the light fixture over the sink. So, won't that make thinks look off kilter? I hope I am making myself clear on my explanation. My bathroom area is kind of small so we only wanted a cabinet on one side. Thanks for your suggestions The cabinets haven't arrived yet so all that is there is the plumbing and wiring at the 36 inch middle of the vanity. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Personally, I would center it from the cabinet edge. I like visual symmetry. But, I think that is a personal preference. Not sure how your base cabinet is structured, but if it consists of cabinets and drawers that may also affect the sink placement. Maybe pictures of the type of vanity would help if you have them. |
I like the lights centered over or around the mirror, which is what I look at whilst shaving, brushing my hair, or other grooming and I need to see clearly, which is accomplished by having light hit my face from several directions. That's usually also centered on the sink, but if it's off-center, I'd position the lights wherever you tend to stand when you make up. |

I probably would have centered the sink in the 54" inches between the upper and the edge but I don't think it's a huge deal that it's centered on the entire width. I think it's more important that the sink, mirror and lights are all centered to one another. |
- Posted by treasuretheday (My Page) on Tue, Apr 23, 13 at 11:48
A few visuals might help... This looks like the sink is centered on the full vanity: It's more common to have the sink centered in open space: |
I think in all those pictures the sink is centered in the sink base cabinet. So, I would think your cabinet layout may really be the deciding factor. |
Here is one more picture with the sink and mirror centered on a cabinet, and probably the wall, but definitely not centered on the space framed by the tower: and another centered on the cabinet TSG1104 is right - the cabinet layout is the key to it looking purposeful and not cockeyed (fingers crossed that everything is ok) |
Here is my preliminary drawings for my new bathroom. I suppose the centering would depend on your needs such as a long countertop on one side of the vanity. Also the style. I have chosen to center the sink at the portion that is left over after the tower is in place. |
Have you chosen a vanity yet? As others have pointed out, the sink placement is often determined by your base cabinets, unless you have a vanity where the whole top 'drawer' space is blind, ie not used for actual drawers. I like to have a certain amount of useable space at least on one side, for drying sweaters, changing babies, whatever..., so think about how you plan to use that 54" of space. I'm sort of surprised that the plumbing and electrical have already been put in without having the vanity there. I'm not clear about whether you have chosen a vanity that just hasn't arrived yet, in which case, I'm going to assume that the sink is centered on the 72" dimension. |
Hi raehelen! No the vanity hasn't arrived yet. They had the ligting and the plumbing centered in the 72 inch vanity space. I'm beginning to think I shouldn't have that cabinet on top of the vanity to the right. Because if I center the sink and light in the 54' space then it will be off kilter from the cabinets and then that will look funny won't it? He's ordered the vanity cabinets already and it will be three cabinets with a drawer on top with the middle drawer being just a drawer front. If the sink and lights are moved center of 54 inch space then that won't align with the middle cabinet. Which is better OR should I just do away with the cabinet on top. My contractor is actually away for several days as he is having a minor surgery the rest of this week. Boy is this stressing me out! Stuff I hadn't thought about and wish the contractor had! Thanks everyone for your posts. What do you all think I should do? |
can you post an image or a link to the vanity? |
Maybe I'm not visualizing it correctly, but if you only have one cabinet with a drawer front then that is where the sink has to go. If you need the cabinet for storage, then i would use it. Even though my preference would be to center it off the cabinet. If I couldn't do that, I would take centering it off the vanity to giving up storage. My guess is no one else will ever give it a second thought. |
I think Treasure's pics really help. I need a visual to help me figure things out! I would look up on Houzz and go through tons of pics to get a feel for how it's going to look. I don't think having the sink centered on the 72" vanity is necessarily a mistake. I am planning a similar arrangement in my next bath reno, and now you've got me thinking... though I am just doing a tower, no counter on that 18" section, I was going to centre it, but now am remembering that when we built our previous house when I had a baby (oh to be young again...literally built the house with baby in playpen!), I had the main BR sink off centre to allow room for changing/bathing etc. Perhaps I should do that again, this time for grandchildren (may happen one day...) or for future resale. But, when the sink is off-centre to the remaining 54", mirror/medicine cabinet placement becomes trickier. My old BR was done in the days of big sheet of glass and theatre style of strip of bulbs over the mirror, so it wasn't an issue. Do you know what you are doing for mirror and lighting? |
Hi! Enduring, I don't have a visual because I don't have the vanity yet. Raehelen, The mirror that I previously had covered the whole vanity and my plan is to cut It down and have if framed. I was going to have it framed be to go over the 54 inch countertop space. My lighting is a 3 light golden bronze vanity light to go over top the mirror. As for the vanity, My contractor has divided the 72 inch space into 3 cabinets with a drawer above each cabinet. The middle drawer will be for show only. I had originally wanted drawers on either side instead of cabinet but my contractor talked me into all cabinets below the drawers then we will have pull out shelving. So the sink has to be centered over the middle cabinet. I'm thinking the best thing might be to do away with the countertop tower. He has special ordered everything already . I wish I had thought about all this when we talked about it in the planning stages. If I keep the countertop cabinet and keep placement of sink in the middle of the vanity, then I'm not sure how to do the mirror. Because the vanity area is on the narrow side, I wanted to keep the large mirror to make the room look larger. Wish I could have affordered to hired a designer. Its amazing what you don't think about before hand. I so...appreciate all of your suggestions and help! This is such a great community of people! |
Most definitely center the sink in the middle section of the vanity - with or without the tower. If you keep the tower (I think I would, but would have to see it first) you can visally balance the other side with some tall candles, flowers, apothecary jars filled with pretty bath salts, seashells, whatever works in your space. You could also use a tall wine rack filled with rolled towels: If the planned tower is just too big, maybe you can add storage with smaller floating shelves or wall mounted cubbies on either side of the sink/mirror: |
Here is a link that might be useful: wine rack for towels and other bathroom storage ideas

The lights are on
A group to bring together Team GIO 2012 in their efforts to donate to charity.
Awesome job Stranger!
I am Mojomonkey12, and while many people associate TEAM GIO and Extra Life with "me" the truth is that I was simply the messenger last year and am a cheerleader this year! TEAM GIO is all of us equally and Extra Life is the heart and soul of Jeromy Adams and only exists because of the courage of one young woman who spent the last days of her life trying to ensure other kids and parents may not have to suffer as her family did. Extra Life is Tori Emmon's Legacy or at the least the beginning of it.
Obviously I enjoy gaming and most geek accepted popular culture. Some current interests include The Walking Dead issue 100 upcoming, finishing up my NG++ playthrough for Dark Souls platinum trophy. I've recently started learning about and purchasing firearms. They are awesome and I will need some amazing weapons when the Zombies rise(again).
GIO is an amazing place and I look forward to doing my part to raise a megaton of Money for Extra Life with all of you. Please don't think you cannot participate for any reason, everybody is welcomed and everybody can make a difference. Feel free to ask any questions!
"You know nothing Jon Snow"
Hi, I'm Koob. I'm a legend here on GIO. I play video games and do cool stuff that you will never see until I start making money from doing it. I also come out of my shell occasionally to do stuff like this.
Thanks to Stranger for sending me the group link.
I am Jolt, or Eric on the Team GIO page. Its a cause that I have first-hand experience with, so joining the team was a no-brainer for me.
I am married, have 2 daughters, and love games. Currently I am playing Rage and loving it. Uhm... I guess anything else, don't be afraid to ask. I am an open book.
"I'm a dude, playin' a dude, disguised as anotha dude! You a dude that don't know what dude he is!" -Robert Downey Jr. in Tropic Thunder
Good on you Stranger for doing this, and to all of you for donating.
I'm Le Hannibal or Jordan (HA JOLTS NAME IS ERIC) on the GIO page. I'm in college studying for my English/Journalism degree and work at an Autoparts store. Also I enjoy video games, movies, Batman stuff, and guns. I'm playing Minecraft and Enslaved Odyssey to the West at the moment. And that's all I have to say about that. :D
Ha! Well its better than having a last name for a first name you jerk.
I almost bought Enslaved Odyssey when I got Rage. Is it any good?
If you're looking for an incredible story, with awesome characters and voice acting then it's the game for you. The combat is smooth but lacks any real depth, and it's not the most challenging game ever, but I recommend you buy it.
Sounds like Rage is better. I'll wait a bit...
I am Noobtubin8er, obviously. I have been around the site for a little over a year but didn't sign and and actually do things until just a little less than a year ago. I blog and get herded, but wouldn't consider myself to be a popular member by any stretch of the imagination. Lately, i have been so busy I have not had a chance to write anything due to my job and a masters course I am taking.
This year, for Team GIO I am helping out with PR related items and working to get incentive based prizes for those who sign up, get people to sign up, and we will have drawings for those who work hard and raise money this year. In fact, we'll have an awesome prize for PC gamers coming up within the next week or two, so find your PC gamers and get ready. We also have some other really exciting announcements of prizes from one of the most well known publishers in the business, so watch for that.
I'm a pretty simple guy. I have a steady career, a great wife, two sons, and plenty of video games. I write for the enjoyment of it and gaming is a great source of inspiration and information.
Im SuperKingC77 (SK for short), Ive been around the site for approximately 7 years, though most of those were under my real name Collin Voorhies, and I was not very active for the majority of them either. Been playing on Nintendo systems since I was maybe 7 years old, and basically play everything whenever I can get the time. Im currently an engineering major at the University of Houston and the closest thing i currently have to an occupation is a freelance digital artist with a print contract with the Houston Brony Group. Currently playing a whole slew of games, including Minecraft, Civ V Gods and Kings, Skyrim, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow and Order of Ecclesia, with a whole slew of titles waiting in the wings, but by time the marathon rolls around I think all my focus will probably be on Borderlands 2. I look forward to participating with you all :)
I'm in here now!
Glad to have you with us this year!
Hi! My name is Jack and I like video games.
Okay, I suppose some more info on me should be forthcoming. You might be familiar with me from my blogs on GIO or from my participation on the Indie and Mojo Show. I currently intern at Game Informer and I try to be a good guy. I have a habit of staying up way too late, watching eSports, and have a fondness for baking/cooking. Ummm... I don't participate in forums much.... sooooo I suppose that's it!
'Tis not too late to seek a newer world.Push off, and sitting well in order smiteThe sounding furrows; for my purpose holdsTo sail beyond the sunset, and the bathsOf all the western stars, until I die.
My name is PK. I have been on the site for a couple of years now, however I mostly just post in forums so there is a good chance you havent heard of me (adjusts hipster glasses). Anyway i like videogames (Kirby Superstar is one of my favs), I love Pink Floyd, and i am a photographer (sadly not profesional though). Anyway for the marathon I will probably just be playing Borderlands 2, there is a possibility though that I might play some Burnout Paradise (Yep, the servers are still up and its still a lot of fun).
Hi. I exist. And Deathwing. If you want to know about me, go to my profile. Now lets do this
Well look at all these awesome people. It warms my pea pickin heart to see all of you great TEAM GIO members!

We are Macmillan. Cancer Support
Find out how we produce our information|
Many cancers can be very successfully treated but unfortunately, cancer does sometimes come back.
This can be a devastating experience, but it doesn't mean that the cancer can't be treated again. Many cancers can be treated even if they have come back (recurred) for a second or third time.
However, further treatment may not be able to cure the cancer. If this is the case, your doctor may suggest treatments that will prolong your life and help to keep you as well as possible for as long as possible. If no further treatments can be given to control the cancer, medicines can still be used to relieve any symptoms you may have that are caused by the cancer.
This can be a frightening time for you, and you may feel that you need extra support. Our cancer support specialists can help you and people close to you, by talking through the thoughts, feelings and fears that a recurrence of cancer can bring. Our section on coping with advanced cancer| may be helpful.
You may want to look into whether any new treatments are being tested in research trials for your type of cancer. If you want to explore this further, you should speak to your hospital specialist, who can find out whether there are any new treatments that would be suitable for you. Our section on cancer research trials| explains clinical trials in more depth.

Can Lebanon douse political fires?
Fighting in Tripoli is indicative of rising Sunni-Shiite tensions as the formation of a new government hits an impasse. Religious leaders called for calm Wednesday.
Omar Ibrahim/Reuters
Tripoli, Lebanon
Thick black smoke billows out of the shattered windows of a small house on the edge of the Jabal Mohsen district in this city as a fireman directs water into the burning building.
Several other houses nearby also smolder from a spate of arson attacks that are keeping tensions high between the mainly Alawite (an offshoot of Shiite Islam) residents and their traditional rivals in the Sunni quarter of Tebbaneh.
The smoldering fires are an apt metaphor for tensions now threatening a rare breakthrough in this country's governance.
Five weeks ago, Lebanon's feuding political bosses reached an agreement that ended some of the worst internal violence in nearly two decades. Qatar brokered a deal that allowed for the election of a new president and was meant to end 19 months of political deadlock.
But the formation of a new national unity government has hit an impasse. Rival politicians are squabbling over the distribution of cabinet portfolios, and tensions are building once more in flash points around the country.
Some observers also worry that Lebanon, like Iraq, could become a new battleground between Sunni and Shiite extremists. The week-long street battles in Beirut in May – between the militant Shiite Hezbollah and Sunni supporters of the Future Movement – have aggravated simmering tensions between Sunnis and Shiites. But others suggest that these are largely local disputes.
"Differences among the Lebanese have reached the edge of suicide," warned Michel Suleiman, the new president, at a meeting Wednesday of Lebanese spiritual leaders who convened at the presidential palace to discuss how to address the friction.

The Domestic Violence Witness Project was initiated at the Kids' FIRST Center in 1999 after domestic violence law was changed to make domestic violence in front of a child a felony. Prior to the change, domestic violence was a misdemeanor. In recognition of the impact domestic violence has not only on the actual victim, but on the children who witness it, the law today automatically makes domestic violence a felony if it is witnessed by a child. The Domestic Violence Witness Project began as a 60-day pilot project to interview child witnesses of domestic violence at the Kids' FIRST Center, to both gather evidence about the crime and help victims access community resources and Crime Victim Compensation funds to pay for counseling and medical expenses. The project was so successful it was made permanent in July, 1999.
Children who witness domestic violence are regularly interviewed at the Center Monday through Friday at 1:30. Interviews are conducted by trained police and Department of Human Services Child Welfare Program personnel. The program serves to gather evidence about what the child saw and allow an opportunity for a victim advocate to meet with the victim parent and develop a safety plan.
Domestic violence witness interviews have come to represent nearly 34% of all interviews conducted at the Center since the program's inception in 1999.
