I would like to purchase a microwave with an infrared broiler. I have read that the halogeon broilers really don't work but the infrared broilers do work. I have looked at the Miele Speed ovens: classic and master chef series. I have not been able to find very many reviews about these appliances. If you have bought and used one in the last year or 2, what do you think about it? If anyone knows of another brand kindly do tell. |

I have a question for you all, I have two hippies and both of them have floppy leaves. Do you suppose they need more light to gain more strength in their leaves? I see all of your guy's pictures and their leaves look so nice and I wonder what I'm doing wrong.

Follow-Up Postings:
It could be that they require more light... or, it could just be that the plant requires a little help, as in a plant stake and a tie. Where is the plant? Is it in a south window? East? Or elsewhere? If you think the plant is getting plenty of sunlight, you can fashion a plant support out of thick coat hanger wire. Bend a loop at the top large enough to corral the leaves and place the stake in the soil, with the loop around the leaves. Or, you can just stick a bamboo stake into the soil and tie the leaves up loosely with twine or large twistie ties. Hope this helps! |

Thanks they are in an east window and did bloom last spring, so they don't mind where they are, the leaves are very thick and wide the largest ones are around 3" wide so maybe the are just to heavy to stand up on their own. I thought I had a picture to show what I mean but I can't find it right now. Terry |
Ok... the leaves are just too heavy to hold themselves up. No big deal... just fashion a plant stake and tie up the leaves loosely. Or, you can buy a ready made plant stake hoop. Which ever you prefer. I use either bamboo stakes and twine, or I fashion hoops out of clothes hangers or welding rod. A good, stiff wire will work. Leave about a foot or more straight, and bend a hoop to gather the leaves into. Stick the straight end into the pot and you've got instant support. An eastern exposure should be enough light. That's where the majority of my plants sit... but I have so many that I've added extra lighting! |

Taylor Simpson was the No. 9 overall recruit in 2010. |
July 10, 2012
COLUMBIA, Mo. - The Mizzou volleyball program landed a heralded recruit this week as Taylor Simpson, a 6-3 outside hitter from Colorado Springs, has committed to play with the Tigers during the 2012 season. Simpson was the No. 9 recruit nationally in 2010 according to PrepVolleyball.com, marking the top prospect ever to commit to play at Mizzou. She is eligible to play immediately, beginning in the fall of 2012.
Simpson most recently played volleyball at the University of Nebraska during the 2011 season as she played in 34 sets in 12 matches, tallying 13 kills and nine blocks. Simpson transferred from Nebraska to Florida State before committing to Mizzou last week.
"We're very excited to have Taylor join us here at Mizzou," Mizzou head coach Wayne Kreklow said. "She has the physical tools and skill set to have an immediate impact on our team and program. Taylor is a great player and an even better person and we couldn't be happier with her decision to become a Mizzou Tiger."
Coming out of Doherty High School in Colorado Springs, Simpson earned plenty of accolades nationally. After being ranked No. 9 by PrepVolleyball.com, Simpson was selected as an Under Armour All-American in 2010 and was an ESPN RISE Volleyball All-America honorable mention selection. On top of that, Simpson was the Colorado high School Class 5A Player of the Year in 2009 and was a member of the 2010 US Youth Olympic Team that finished second in Singapore, leading the team in points during that tournament. She had 11 kills, six blocks and an ace in the final match of that tournament as well. In 30 matches during her senior year of high school, Simpson tallied 471 kills, 60 blocks, 312 digs and 21 aces, leading her team to a 22-8 overall record.

Ye gods, this one has been a long and convoluted story. First, the arcade was getting a version of Super Street Fighter IV. Then it was possibly a version with new characters. Then there definitely were new characters, along with rebalancing. Then Street Fighter Producer Yoshinori Ono bemoaned that he was having struggles with Capcom management over getting a home port done. Then two more new characters were confirmed. Then no more word.
And now we have more word. Because the BBFC has passed Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition for release with a 12 rating. What form will it take though?
Well the BBFC's page simply lists SSFIV: AE as "digital media". DLC then, rather than a full disc release, a la Super SFIV? Maybe not. You see all versions of Street Fighter IV thus far have been dubbed with the same, catch-all monicker. We haven;t managed to get anything concrete out of Capcom so far, but we're expecting a full reveal at the company's Captivate event, which starts next Tuesday, the 6th of April.
So the question is, would you triple-dip Street FIghter IV if AE turned up as a disc game? How cheap would it have to be to convince you to upgrade again, if you bought the first two? Are Yun, Yang, Oni Akuma and Evil Ryu enough for you? Would you be more tempted if it was DLC? Are the rumours that my beloved Bison's 2nd Ultra has been slightly nerfed true? And if so why, for the love of God, why!?
Actually that's quite a lot of questions. Answer them at your leisure.

Alexander McQueen Shows Holographic Alien Beauties for Spring 2010
>> Raquel Zimmermann, who has been missing from the runways all season, finally made an appearance at Alexander McQueen — projected on a screen behind the runway, topless, with a snake writhing around her; she later morphed into an arm-waving sea creature. Two cameras, each mounted on a robotic arm that glided back and forth on the runway, moved over the audience, replacing the video of Raquel on the screen and signaling the start of the show, titled "Plato's Atlantis."
Stiffly sculptural minidresses started out in mirrored snakeprints, moving into owl and insect territory, and finally the aquatic. Hair, which began in cornrows with crimped tufts, ended in two gravity-defying horns, and the hologram catwalk operated on motion-control technology. Some of the white-faced models had prosthetics around their eyes, giving them alien-like bone structure, which took three hours to apply. And if the Fall 2009 Nina Ricci shoes needed an editorial replacement, McQueen has it for Spring 2010 — hoof-like platform booties that Imogen Morris-Clarke says were ten inches high.
The collection, embellished and couture-like as it was, will be reinterpreted to be more wearable for retail, but if the livestream — which couldn't handle all the people who tried to tune in — is any indication (full video can now be seen here), people do love their McQueen spectacles.

Jessica Simpson Wants to Date a Wise Guy
She's had the boy-bander, the folkie and the jock—and now Jessica Simpson says she wants to date a brainiac.
In an interview with Extra that airs on Friday, Simpson—whose own intelligence might best be defined by the infamous "chicken or tuna?" debate on Newlyweds—says she wants a guy with a really big...brain.
Says Simpson, who split with her latest beau, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo, in July:
"I definitely love a spiritual man—somebody that is going to always inspire me...I don't want to get bored. I can bore out pretty easily, so I love intellectual men...people that will always keep me intrigued."
Hmm; spiritual, intelligent and, most importantly, never boring? Could we have found a love connection for Jess?
Let us know in the comments section: Based on her criteria, who do you think she should date next?

Investigation indicates LAM Mozambique E-190 crash could have been deliberate
LAM Mozambique is pressing for further information after preliminary investigations revealed its Embraer E-190
on Nov. 29 could have been deliberately caused by the aircraft's captain.
Namibia, which is leading the investigation, had said there was a tremendous impact and
no evidence
of mechanical failure.
A LAM spokeswoman told
ATW: "The preliminary cause of the accident is that it was intentional. They [Mozambique CAA Instituto de Aviação Civil de Moçambique] held the press conference [detailing the preliminary findings] and it was new to us, just like it was for everybody else. We are shocked."
IACM could not immediately be reached for comment on Thursday. However, local media quoted IACM president Joao Martins de Abreu as saying there were signs of "clear intention" to crash the aircraft.
The co-pilot reportedly left the cockpit to use the toilet. He was then locked out by the captain, who dramatically reduced the aircraft's altitude and ignored various automated warnings ahead of the high-speed impact.
According to LAM, the captain had accumulated a total of 9,053 flight hours, including 2,520 on the E-190. He received his command April 12, 2012 and had logged 1,395 hours as a captain. He went through his last medical evaluation Sept. 2, 2013.
LAM said it is deeply concerned about the latest findings and is waiting on further information from the Namibian authorities. "LAM will request a detailed report, which shows and proves the facts which led the preliminary conclusions of the statement and will continue to cooperate fully with the investigating authorities," the airline said in a statement.
The E-190 was carrying 27 passengers and six crewmembers when it crashed during a scheduled flight from Maputo to Luanda on Nov. 29, killing all onboard. The wreckage was
Nov. 30 in a remote part of northern Namibia, bordering Angola and Botswana.

I've always been in awe of artists who can create scenes such as this in mosaic. Please do tell how you made this. I really like the brick building and the graffiti. |

WOW, I'm not in Kansas anymore!!! This is OVER THE TOP!!! It is sooo fascinating, all the incredible details and there is something EVERYWHERE you look, that adds to your theme, like those gymnists that gotta use the whole floor space!! Okay, I'm rambling...I just can't believe what I am seeing!!! I'm not worthy, Oh Humble Master, to clean your worktable!!! Jane |
Such a cool piece of art. It really strikes me with how unique it is. I've just never seen a mosaic project with these elements before.I'd love to know more about it. Is this a panel project, what was your inspiration etc? Cindy |
I am humbled by your comments. Thank you so much. I write this with teary eyes as I had such trepidation when working on this. I don't even know where to start.. but I'll try. I was raised in a small town, in a large family. We didn't go out much I guess. I remember vividly my first trip to Elizabeth,NJ. It's not a large city, but bigger than I had ever seen. My head arched up and back looking at all the "sky scrapers" I don't think that I had ever seen anything bigger than a 2 story! The brick building was made from tiles of terra cotta polymer clay. I used glass for the widows ,even drilled a hole through one and the substrate to indicate "vandalism" maybe even by the girl with the cap on! The second building: The ghostly skyscraper painted underneath glue chip. The wall: graffiti was printed out using graffiti fonts onto a textured background. I tore off what I wanted and glued it down to the MDF. I painted over it. Clear glass was then glued on to it. ( says surrender Dorothy) The "alley" ahhh that was a challenge. I had several inserts..none worked. I was left with a "wall" from the tornado so I built up the edge with grout and poured resin over it. I did this yesterday at 4pm. Project was due by midnight. I struggled with Dorothy's face. I made a lot of them. I did this yesterday morning.( her legs are glued to the wall, torso on the thinset wall and head in the alley) . I also grouted yesterday.. I think I started this on April 9th or so. I wish I had more time to complete what I wanted to do, but maybe without the deadline I never would have finished it at all. I am a very slow worker and do more in my head than with my hands.. Here is an excerpt of the story that goes with the pic: Dorothy sat, contemplating the ruins of her world. War, corruption, and indifference had brought about a poverty not seen in decades. Not only the monetary kind of poverty, but one that brought desolation to the spirit of her people. As the powerful storm brewed behind her, floodwaters threatened to overwhelm the dam, a reminder of the destruction of Wicked Katrina's reign. Dorothy felt pulled to get off the wall. Utopia was right around the corner. I think that this is the first in a series of them. I have so many more ideas splitting my head open! Thank you again. You made me feel so good! |
Oh, Lori, it is exquisite. Reading what you did to make this was amazing, and we know you're going to do wonderfully in any judging. It's just an extraordinary piece. |
THANK YOU, for explaining how you did this and especially for the story...you are a very talented writer, too!! I would LOVE to see you do a whole series in this vein and I bet there are art galleries around the world that would fight each other to display them! Seriously. |

Lori, I don't know what to say. I second third fourth what everyone has said. You are a true artist and this mosaic speaks directly from your heart. It is so fantastic, I can't even imagine this was made out of mosaic. Thank you for the explanation and I'm going back to keep looking at this and finding all the fabulous pieces. You should enter that into other contest too!!! I'd love to see your other works too!!! Keep up the good work, you are inspiring to me and about a million others. |
Oh Lori, thank you soooo much for explaining all that went into this amazing work of art! Congratulations!!!! I love the meaning and messages that it conveys. It is extraordinary and I really look forward to see what else you make along these lines - such an amazing array of techniques and so very UNIQUE!!! I think you have pulled out all the stops here! |
- Posted by fiddlekate (My Page) on Thu, May 1, 08 at 20:32
Thank you for the story/explanation, Lori. Not only is it a spectacular mosaic... but it tells a story of life, hope, and expectation. I'm just in awe of it.. and of you. I hope...and EXPECT... that you will WIN that contest! :) Katie |
I hope you're right Kate, cause if some moron picks PUSH! over Tale of Two Futures, I'll run and hide! LOL |

Lori! I immediately thought that this will HAVE to have sequels!!! But never mentioned it, and like everyone says, thanks for the story behind it! Jane |
The best prize has been the response from you all. NOTHING can beat that. I am not easily led to tears, but as I read this post they are falling freely from my eyes. Thanks again , It means so much to me to hear this from you all , whom I admire so much. Quoting Dorothy, " You're the best friends a girl can ever have" !!! (p.s.. PJTexgirl, you better post your stuff or I'll send the flying monkeys. ) |

I too am in awe over this project, it belongs in an art gallery along with your story....incredible is all I can say!!! |
- Posted by slowmedown (My Page) on Fri, May 2, 08 at 9:26
Oh how I wish I could see this in person. I had your explanation and the post on hold at the same time, and w/switch back and forth to compare the explanation w/the photo. What an artist!!! Wish I could see whatever NT is referring to "Push". Must be another entry. Can't wait to read the results of your entry, MEADEL. When you starting the next one, huh, huh, huh????? Today??? You KNOW we'll be waiting not so anxiously for it, and I so look forward to your WIPs on this one as well as the next in the series. |
Not the flying monkeys!! I'll probably post my third project or so. I posted my first project on TX gardening forum so it's not THAT bad. PJ |
Lori, OMG...this is truly awesome...I have goosebumps looking at it and reading your story. Words can't explain what I am feeling as I look at this. It is truly amazing and so are you...can't wait to see more. Becky |
- Posted by curbdiver1954 (My Page) on Sat, May 3, 08 at 8:40
OMG....looked your entry over thoroughly - felt compelled to do so, it holds the eye so well....after reading this thread, I am in absolutel AWE of it. Yes, yes, please do a series!! Your talent absolutely screams to be recognized and appaluded by the world in a gallery! Thank you for sharing it with us here and there.... NT, I'm with you, no way can my entry be compared to this masterpiece! Pat |
ah, come'on guys, you're killing me! It's probably just a fluke, You guys are the ones with real talent! ( I'm serious) I can point out a multitude of flaws in this. I wish you all here could see the amazing entry's into that contest. I am blown away by them. ( I could barely look at them,because I was so intimidated by the talent there that I was not going to submit mine) I am so grateful for these amazing compliments. Again, THAT to me is the best prize . ( I'm serious ) |
I'd love to see this one in person, so much to examine. The graffiti is WONDEROUS!!!! You are my pick for the Visual Texture, and I think Daydream's tree is my favor for Movement... But since our judges aren't artists, who really can guess what they'll appreciate. At least the feedback indicates they are struggling with the decisions huh? at 6:00 pm mountain time today, judging closes so I guess we'll get news after that hey? |
"I could barely look at them,because I was so intimidated by the talent there that I was not going to submit mine" Honestly, I think most people feel this way. I totally understand. It was brave of you to go ahead and submit your work :) PJ |
I loved reading how you accomplished this, it really is wonderful. You must be going crazy with the contest site down... or is it just me that can't get in? |
Nope panther, it's down for all. I'm sure it'll be up soon. Carl's on it!! |
Lori, this is freaking AMAZING!!!! This Noo Yawka bows to your talent. Who knew a humble gal from Joisey was such an incredible artist?! LOL The artwork and story are GREAT!! You deserve all the praise everyone's given you. Immense. That's the word I keep thinking; your creation is immense. |
I've been looking at this piece off & on for days, and every time I get something new from it. I will be looking forward to the new pieces in the series. |
OK, I'm so intrigued and want to know how THIS piece did, since it is so extraordinary, Lori. Do you have results yet? I wish I knew more about the competition itself, and it's fustrating not to know how your piece did. I'm sure you'll post here......I just want you to know I'm out here waiting to find out. It's just so great a piece of art, Lori. |

This is really a thought provoking work of art. I love the suggestion of perplexity in the way Dorothy's head is tilted. Really nicely done - brava! It is very reminiscent of one of my favorite artists, Patricia Helsing (she passed away late last year, such a profound loss of talent and a really wonderful person).....You may like to take a look at her work, as she could certainly inspire you! http://users.starpower.net/artistdc/preview.htm I would love to see more of your work - love it love it! Jane (from NJ - and knows Elizabeth NJ well) |
Well, I didn't win a ring saw , but I did get something worth more than that. Your compliments gave me such a incredible boost of self confidence that it encourages me to continue. I just hope I can live up to it all ! Thank you all so very,very much. (Platebreaker, One of our members is also a fan of Patricia Helsing, I had seen the stringbean series and love it, thanks for the link. I got goose-bumps on a few of them! ) |
hey ya all, just so you know. This piece was ranked in the top 3 by 3 of the judges. Thats nothing to sneeze at |
Well, Lori, you might not have won a skillsaw, but you know you won our hearts. |

Astor family coming to city's birthday party
Descendants of 18th century Pacific Fur Company founder John Jacob Astor are coming from England and New York to help celebrate Astoria's bicentennial and see the place named for their ancestor.
The Daily Astorian
Descendants of 18th century Pacific Fur Company founder John Jacob Astor are coming from England and New York to help celebrate Astoria's bicentennial and see the place named for their ancestor.
"We couldn't have a 200-year celebration without having the Astors as part of the party," said Astoria Mayor Willis Van Dusen. "Their visit will be the crown on the entire event."
A party from the fur company arrived on a ship from New York in 1811 and established a settlement at the mouth of the Columbia River, naming it for the founder of the company.
Lord and Lady Astor, the eighth John Jacob Astor, the 3rd Baron Astor of Hever, and his wife Elizabeth, are coming from their home in England to the Bicentennial Regatta weekend, arriving Wednesday for a four-day stay. Accompanying them are their son Charles, 21, and daughter Olivia, 19, to view Astoria for the first time.
Lord Astor has been to Astoria, first in 1961. He was 14 years old, arriving for the sesquicentennial - the 150-year anniversary of the town. According to news clippings at the Clatsop County Historical Society, Astor lost his camera during that celebration. It is not known whether that camera was ever recovered, but there are several photos of the young Astor with a camera in hand during his visit.
As a newlywed, he returned in 1971 with his first wife, Fiona.
He has not been back since.
"They lead very busy lifestyles," said Bicentennial Executive Director Paulette McCoy. "Lady Liz (Lord Astor's second wife) emailed me this week and asked what to pack, excited about the weather and the events. They're all very excited to have a break and see this place named after their ancestors."
Also joining Lord and Lady Astor will be their New York cousins, the granddaughter of Col. John Jacob Astor, who died aboard the Titanic, and her son.
Historian Rex Ziak - a featured speaker for the Adventure in History Lecture Series, as part of the Bicentennial - said Col. John Jacob Astor was the fourth bearing the name, the greatgrandson of the original John Jacob Astor.
His granddaughter Jacqueline Astor Drexel and her son Nicholas, 23, will be in Astoria for the grand celebration.
"They've been in communication and are really excited about coming here to honor their ancestors, together," McCoy said.
Cousins Charles and Nicholas will appear in the parade together.
Lord Astor is serving as one of three admirals of the parade.
The family will also take part in the rose planting ceremony at the Flavel House at 2 p.m. Saturday by the Royal Rosarians of Portland.
Van Dusen remembers going with his mother in 1961 to see the Astor family.
"The Astor families, over the past 200 years, have made so many contributions to the city, through educational events, the Astor Column, the library, which was built because of a donation from the Astors and from the American Legion - two pillars in the community," Van Dusen said. "We're very fortunate to have our namesake come from such a respectable and generous family that are respected worldwide."
McCoy said the Astors will be staying at the Cannery Pier Hotel.
Lord Astor has to be back in England by Monday, so he is unable to attend the Mayor's Ball aboard the Portland Spirit. He is Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State at the Ministry of Defense.
"It's kind of happy and sad," McCoy said. "We've worked so many years and it's all of a sudden here and we don't want it to go away.
"I like planning parties and celebrations, and there have been a few sleepless nights making sure it all gets done. I'm running on adrenaline and I don't want it to end."

Scientists Silence Extra Chromosome In Down Syndrome Cells
Practicality? (230 comments)

JEFFERSON CITY, Missouri — Nearly 38 percent more Missouri residents than last year have signed up health care insurance so far under the federal exchange, according to data released Tuesday.
About 209,336 residents signed up for coverage as of Jan. 16. U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Burwell and St. Louis Mayor Francis Slay touted the numbers during a phone conference with reporters, saying they represent about 57,000 additional covered Missourians compared with the entire first enrollment period last year. The total number of enrollees could grow in the coming weeks before the open enrollment deadline on Feb. 15.
Re-enrollees account for 59 percent of those who have signed up, and 41 percent are new to the federal insurance exchange.
President Barack Obama's Affordable Care Act set up the marketplaces to help families and individuals find insurance. Enrollment was rocky because of technological issues when the exchange first launched in 2013.
Among the people who've signed up so far this year, about 88 percent will receive financial assistance.
St. Louis resident LaDonna Appelbaum told reporters Tuesday that she signed up for coverage through the marketplace months before doctors diagnosed her with stage 3 breast cancer. Her husband also injured his hand in a boating accident months after enrolling.
If they didn't receive tax credits to subsidize the cost of insurance, "we would struggle," Appelbaum said.
Total enrollment through the middle of January in the 37 states served by HealthCare.gov is about 7.1 million people. At least another 2.4 million signed up in states running their own exchanges.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.
[OS] AUSTRALIA/INDONESIA: People-smuggling accused detained

made late Thursday in Australia.
People-smuggling accused detained
15 June 2007
AN INDONESIAN alleged to be a "notorious" people-smuggling ringleader has
been arrested in what the Australia is hailing as a significant
breakthrough against people traffickers.
Abraham Lauhenapessy, also known as "Captain Bram", is thought to have
organised the voyage of 83 Sri Lankans bound for Australia who were
apprehended in the Indian Ocean in February. He is also suspected of other
people-trafficking operations.
Lauhenapessy has been linked to a network stretching to Asian countries,
including Sri Lanka, where intending boat people were charged up to
$US10,000 ($12,000) for a ticket to Australia.
"Captain Bram has been a priority target for Australia for more than five
years," the Foreign Affairs Minister, Alexander Downer, said last night.
The arrest by the Indonesian police was "an outstanding outcome" and
followed months of close co-operation between Indonesian and Australian
It was a "major blow to people-smuggling networks", Mr Downer said.
"It is a significant arrest but not the end of the people-smuggling
network by a long shot," the Immigration Minister, Kevin Andrews, said
last night.
Lauhenapessy's arrest in Indonesia last Sunday follows the arrest last
week of two suspected accomplices, Chandra Babu, a Sri Lankan, and a man
known as Mohan.
Mr Downer said Babu was suspected of co-ordinating the illegal entry of
hundreds of Sri Lankans into Indonesia and of taking part in February's
attempted smuggling operation to Australia.
Yesterday the Government issued a long-awaited response to a Senate report
calling for significant reforms to measures against illegal migrants.
The Australian Democrats senator Andrew Bartlett said the Government had
rejected 21 out of 62 recommendations by the committee. Among these was
the committee's call for children asylum seekers to have access to social
security and health care while their applications were being processed.
A move for visa applicants to be allowed greater legal representation at
interviews by immigration officials and at migration tribunal hearings was
also rejected.

Tough new laws for texters, teens, drunks
New legislation requires the driver's license written exam to include on question on the state's law prohibiting texting or using a hand-held cellphone while driving.
New Hampshire: Child-restraint law changed.
A new law requires anyone driving with a passenger under the age of seven to make sure the child is properly fastened and secured by a child-restraint system, unless the child is at least 57 inches tall. Previously, it was age six and 55 inches tall.
Oregon: Don't smoke with a child in the car.
As of Jan. 1, smoking in a motor vehicle when a person under the age of 18 is present is illegal. The fine is $250 for a first offense and $500 for subsequent offenses. It is a secondary offense. Fines for texting or using a handheld cellphone while driving have been raised to a maximum of $500 by raising the offense from a Class D to Class C traffic violation. Vermont: Fines increased for texting and driving. The state made it illegal to use handheld portable electronic devices when driving in posted work zones. The fine is between $100 and $200 for a first offense and $250 to $500 for a second or subsequent violation within a two-year period (the same fine amounts that went into effect for texting while driving in July 2013). Points for certain "distracted driving" violations have increased. The state will assess two points for a first offense of using a portable electronic device in a work zone and five points for a second or subsequent offense. Texting while driving will now be assigned five points for a first offense. Previously, it was two points for your first ticket and then five points for any subsequent violations for texting. On May 1, 2014, it will become illegal to allow your vehicle to idle for more than five minutes in any 60-minute period, while the vehicle is stationary. Exceptions are granted for certain types of vehicles, such as military and buses, and situations. For example, if idling is necessary to operate safety equipment, maintenance purposes or if traffic conditions cause a vehicle to remain stationary.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Author's note:
The was my first omnisicent view piece. I wrote this based on all the corruption and sadness in the world.
Jason Geroux and Kenny Long appeared at the Felton household Monday morning with news that made Camille more curious than it did satisfy her."We heard you've been looking for Jessica," Kenny started.
"The really pretty girl. The one that looks like a doll," Jason expanded.
"Yes, my Jessica. My niece," Camille nodded.
"We saw her. Our football team was out to breakfast at the diner. Jason and I thought we should follow her after she was done to see if we could get a phone number or something," Kenny admitted.
"So we did. And then this odd woman, like way out of touch with the world, started following us. So we took a detour into the library, and she didn't follow us in. When we left, we didn't see Jess anymore," Jason said.
"Jessica," Camille corrected. "Where was she headed? Do you know? What direction?"
"Erm, kinda northerly," Jason decided.
"You idiot, it was south. She was headed in the direction of Donaghy Forest," Kenny said.
"I thought it was in the north, sorry."
"Everyone knows the forest is southerly."
"Boys. Please. She was headed in the direction of the forest?" Camille asked.
"Yes," both boys responded.
"Thanks," Camille sighed. She dismissed the boys and closed her door. What in the forest had interested her? If it even was her. No. Jessica wouldn't go to the forest. She knew it was dangerous, Beth had told her so. Later that morning, Camille filed the missing persons report, with no evidence as to where Jessica was.
Chief Howard promised to do his very best to find Jessica, and this promise was to be kept. No one had ever filed a missing persons report in the town, and this was scratch on the otherwise perfect glass record the chief had. Howard knew this tiny scratch was blood in the water for the younger officers. They were drawn in, and would want to attack soon. This event could be a deal-breaker for Howard's status as chief of police.
Howard set out to question Annabelle at the diner, who had little to nothing to provide him with. The only thing that Howard was interested in was the fact that she was alone.
"No one's ever alone in this town," Howard mentioned during the interview.
"I know, hun, kinda weird if ya ask me," Annabelle replied, shaking her head. "No one's ever alone. Even if you're new here, someone'll accompany ya. A neighbor, someone. Course we're all neighbors, really."
That fact sparked Howard's interest. He decided that Jessica was on a suicide mission, and had probably completed it, seeing as she hadn't returned yet.
"She would NOT do that," Camille said, tiptoeing around the word.
"Suicide is the only answer," Howard insisted.
"She wouldn't." Camille's voice on the edge of tears, Howard patted her back.
"Sorry, Camille. It's all we've got. We just have to find the body," Howard said. He set off again with his men, scouring every nook and cranny in the town. These nooks and crannies numbered few, seeing as the town was a mostly open place with many friendly neighbors. They searched everywhere, spare the forest, in which a group of boys and girls, mostly thirteen in age, were playing truth or dare in.

It's time. The every seventh day chest conquering gala we like to call the Battle of the Boobtastic. That once a week permission slip for girls to exercise their competitive juices with their hands down at their sides and me looking to capture those juices in a mason jar and save for a lonely day. This week's contestants in the finest funbag competition this side of my Uncle Joe's GILFs galore setup out by the old highway. are the newly blonde streaked Holly Peers, a true champ of the chestal skills, and Lucy Collett, a redheaded ball of fluffy wonder who I'd shank any one of you in the showers for two minutes and eleven seconds of conjugal time.
These two lades are both deserving of more than anything we could ever give them. Still, let's hand one of them a victory today in the Battle of the Boobtastic. In your savant opinion, whose ta-ta's reign supreme?

- Summary
- The AACC (American Association of Community Colleges) competencies were initially developed to help provide guidance in developing community college leaders because of predictions of a leadership crisis in the two-year college sector. Since their creation, the competencies have been used to direct topics in leadership development programs and to guide future leaders about what skills are critical to master. Yet scant research exists on the use of the competencies in practice or on analysis of the competencies within the changing higher education climate. An underlying premise for the AACC competencies is that learning about leadership is a lifelong endeavor. As adult learners, community college leaders tie in their new learning with past experiences, ultimately expanding their understanding of leadership. It therefore becomes critical to think about the types of leadership development that occur along the leadership pipeline and how aspiring leaders acquire the requisite competencies to lead in these challenging times. The broad foundation of leadership development provides a means to see how the competencies are interpreted, thus allowing us to learn what is really working in practice. This issue provides a review of the research on the competencies in the field and posits several strategies for the future use of the competencies and potential changes to the competencies.

PaaS and the Future
August 12, 2011 | Posted in Cloud, Managed File Transfer, MFT, PaaS | By Thomas Skybakmoen
In an article in Cloud Computing Journal, PaaS is once again highlighted as the future of the enterprise market. The article Cloud Computing: AppFog Gets $8 Million states that "Industry analysts have told the start-up and its backers that Platform-as-a-Service is beginning to eclipse bare bones Infrastructure-as-Service (IaaS) and should be in for 'big growth,' especially in the enterprise market." Why is this the case? PaaS can be compared to Lego blocks. As with Lego, PaaS is built using one platform, where only one "product" exists. PaaS may come in different colors, sizes and shapes, but all product enhancements, such as updates, security and new features, is all fed back into one code base, thus everything benefits all customers. Lego
A Note on Cloudwashing
August 5, 2011 | Posted in Cloud, Managed File Transfer, PaaS | By Thomas Skybakmoen
There is a lot of Cloudwashing taking place in the industry today where more established 'legacy' vendors are simply rebranding or repackaging existing products and not fulfilling the real potential of Cloud Computing. They often host their products in Cloud environments so they can market their solutions in the "Cloud" category, but at the end of the day it's still one instance of software and they can't offer elasticity, horizontal scalability or multitenancy of "true Cloud" based solution. To understand some of the key differences between the "true Cloud", and the on-premises software model, companies need to focus on three components: cost, procurement/deployment cycle and expertise: Cost – A "true Cloud" solution is less expensive in terms of server-to-server comparisons

Kick-start your spring with this grownup grenadine from Seattle-based bartender Miles Thomas. This ruby-red syrup hits all the right notes with the perfect balance of tartness and sweetness, tons of pure pomegranate flavor, and complex notes of wild cherry, hibiscus and woodsy spice. Mix it in bright, citrus-forward classic cocktails like the Ward Eight and Monkey Gland, or add it to a tall glass of ginger ale for a flavor-packed Shirley Temple.

So, where do I start?
I'm taken for starters. Citten13;
Most gorgeous
Best singer
Most loving woman out there.
No one can ask for more. I could be dirt poor, with Citten i wouldn't need anything else, she's wonderful. Even though I'm hard to handle at times she sticks with me. She's just, there's not word to describe her. I wouldn't trade her for anything... I love her so damn much i'd do anything and everything for her. She's my goddess, my princess, my everything... She's the longest relationship I've had, and I'm not letting her go, no matter what. I'm a beast that only her beauty can tame. She's the goddesses Artemis and Aphrodite in one with the wisdom of Athena. A Kindness all of her own, a voice soft like a warm summer's breeze, a temper as cold as the arctic chill, eyes that can hold a stare. She who can capture any man, chose me. One of the unlucky men of the world. My baby girl, my sweet little kitty, my goddess. The gods smiled and the angels sang when she was born.
I suppose, I must say i'm completely insane. I guess that's the first thing I have to tell ya'll if you want to get to know me at all. I am 18, still in High School. (Of course.) I'm in ROTC, I enjoy it very much and hope to excel in it. I have a strong respect for all the Military branche's. I don't favor any of them. They all do the same thing, protect our country.
I love the color's black and Gold. I've been on this game since I was 11 or 12 I believe. I could never really stay with the game very much. I would go on and off it a few time's.
I enjoy art and movie's, I draw pretty well, I suppose. I get told I do, don't believe many people. I have many favorite movie's, so don't ask me what my favorite one is. Same for music, I like all kind's, so same answer to the movie's.

Folles de leur corps / Crazy about their bodies
Folles de leur corps / Crazy about their bodies is a book that I designed, which accompanies Sharon Kivland's exhibition - also entitled Folles de leur corps / Crazy about their bodies - at CGP London. The exhibition, which considers the relation between women and their bodies, will include a library, with an occasional librarian, and one off events, and runs from 8 October to 9 November 2014.
Folles de leur corps / Crazy about their bodies has 96 pages and was printed by Aldgate Press, London, on Munken Pure with a cover of ripple textured Keaycolour in Guardsman Red; it contains a tipped-in colour frontispiece; and pages 25 to 26 have been hand annotated by Linda Stupart. The book is published by CGP London in association with Ma Bibliothèque, and contains short texts and essays written in in response to Kivland's textual descriptions of works from: Pascal Beausse, Alison J. Carr, Vincent Dachy, Rachel Garfield, Chris Gibson, Catherine Grant, Johan F. Hartle, Ralf F. Hartmann, Frances Haselden, James Hellings, Jean-Marc Huitorel, Jaspar Joseph-Lester, Esther Leslie, Juliet Flower MacCannell, Forbes Morlock, Dany Nobus, Sanja Perovic, John W. P. Phillips, Steve Pile, Stefan Sczelkun, Joshua Simon, Linda Stupart, John Timberlake, and Sarah Wood.
Dovecot Banners
I'm very pleased to see that the banners I designed for Dovecot Studios' Festival exhibitions are up in Chambers Street in the centre of Edinburgh. The photographs belie the size of the banners, which are 76 x 280 cm. They were fabricated by McRobb in Edinburgh. I designed a slightly different (and slightly smaller) banner to hang outside Dovecot Studios. The banners use the three logo that I developed for the invitation cards and leaflets; the white background is very distinctive against the dark Edinburgh stone and (sometimes) blue skies of August.
Fresh from the Printers!
Where do I end and you begin, the book I have been designing for the Edinburgh Art Festival is now back from the printers. I am very pleased with the results: it is almost exactly as I imagined it! Thanks to Allander, Edinburgh, for another fantastic print job. Where do I end and you begin opens on Friday 1 August at the City Arts Centre, Edinburgh and at various offsite locations throughout the city, until 19 October.

China criticises new EU sanctions on Iran, calls for talks
BEIJING (REUTERS) - China criticised the European Union on Tuesday for imposing new sanctions on Iran over its controversial nuclear programme, calling again for talks to resolve the stand-off.
The EU governments' sanctions target major Iranian state companies in the oil and gas industry, and strengthen restrictions on the central bank, cranking up pressure on the country which has close trade ties with Beijing.
China is Iran's largest crude oil customer and, along with Russia, has resisted putting sanctions on Tehran.
"We oppose the imposition of unilateral sanctions on Iran and believe that using sanctions to exert pressure cannot fundamentally resolve the Iran nuclear issue," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei told a daily news briefing.
