This boy is starting Kindergarten today. I think we'll both love it.
His private 'assessment' with the teacher yesterday was hilarious. In many aspects he did better than I ever thought he would. Counted to 100 all by himself - except he proudly said "1,000!" at the end instead of 100. :) I heard him get stumped on recognizing a letter and wondered which one it was. Turns out it was 'A'.
Here's a little sneak peak of the quilt show last night. I'll post more pictures later. Time to fill more boxes.

Thank you so much for your comments - they make my day! I try to respond to as many as my 'mommy' time allows, but life sometimes gets in the way. Please know how much I appreciate each of them.
I apologize for the current comment settings that require a registered user account. They are the only way that I don't get tons of gross spam. I'm hoping Blogger will make a way where people who are not registered users, but would like to leave a comment can do so. Please, Blogger! In the mean time, thanks for your patience.

PHILOMENA Feb-28-2014 (820 words) xxxn
'Philomena' story spurs Catholic alums' effort to help mom know her son
By Penny Wiegert
Catholic News Service
ROCKFORD, Ill. (CNS) -- Several Boylan Central Catholic High School alums are seeking "to help a mom know her son."
After all, Boylan is more than a community. Lynn Perez-Hewitt (class of 1971) says it's smaller than that.
"It really is a tight connection, a family," she said.
And families stick together. Families help each other.
In this case, the "mom" they are reaching out to is the woman upon whom the Oscar-nominated movie "Philomena" is based. The "son" is Michael Hess, Boylan class of 1970. The idea to reach out to Philomena Lee was hatched long before any of Hess' former classmates ever heard about a movie. Their goal had everything to do with fond memories of Mike as a good, faithful and talented friend.
About a year ago Lynn Cuppini McConville, Boylan's director of advancement, was asked if she knew about the book "The Lost Child of Philomena Lee" by BBC correspondent Martin Sixsmith. It was brought to her attention by Boylan staff member Ingrid Jansen. Jansen's sister-in-law lives in Ireland, happened to read the book, and was surprised to see Rockford mentioned.
McConville said she checked it out and couldn't believe that the lost son mentioned in the book was Hess, a fellow classmate and friend who she remembers as being "such a nice and intense young man."
She said she was hesitant at first because the story highlights harsh attitudes and an unattractive chapter in church history.
Lee gave birth at a convent home in Ireland for unwed mothers. Once her son was born, like other young mothers, she was forced to "relinquish full claim forever" for her son so that he could be adopted. She also had to work in the attached laundry to pay off the debt she owed the nuns.
It was the fond memories of a "wonderfully talented and kind person" that compelled McConville to email and Facebook several of her fellow alumni about the book and its Boylan connection. And so they began to reminisce about days gone by.
One classmate, Jeanne Harris Nutter, class of 1970, suggested contacting Lee to "fill in the gaps" of her son's life. Then when the classmates learned of a movie coming out based on the 2009 book, they began contacting other Boylan graduates that have connections to New York, Washington and even the Vatican.
"Jeanne called me and asked if I heard about the movie 'Philomena.' I said I heard about it but haven't seen it," Perez- Hewitt said, explaining that in her town it only played for a week or two.
"Well," Jeanne said, "it's about our Michael! I couldn't believe it."
The two shared a flood of memories about Hess. Then Harris Nutter suggested the classmates gather their memories and pictures and find a way to reach out to Lee and help "a mom get to know her son."
Lee's child, Anthony, was adopted at age 3, along with a girl named Mary, by Dr. A. Michael Hess, a successful urologist, and his wife, Marjorie Lane Hess.
Anthony was renamed Michael and he and Mary lived with the Hesses and their three biological sons in Iowa, St. Louis, Illinois and then Rockford. After Michael and Mary Hess graduated from Boylan, the Hesses moved to Florida, where Mary still resides. Michael Hess died in 1995.
"I just remember Michael being so charismatic and it was just natural for him. And he was kind and so handsome; I had a mad crush on him," Perez-Hewitt told The Observer, newspaper of the Rockford Diocese. "I was running for student council and we had the campaign meetings at his house. He was so engaged in life and was just a kind human being and we want to share that with Philomena."
She has been part of the International Rotary Organization, so she made some connections in England and Ireland to contact Lee.
Harris Nutter went to grade school with Hess. She said she didn't recall if Mike ever talked about being adopted.
Her own career as a social worker, which included working with special-needs adoption and children in foster care, led her to try to reach out to Lee.
"I understand the struggle they both went through in their search for each other," said Harris Nutter. "I understand the pain of giving up a child for adoption, either voluntarily or involuntarily. It is not easy. ... It is life changing and tragic."
Harris Nutter said she and her fellow Boylan alums have stories "to share with Philomena and photos and maybe other tangible pieces of Michael that she can have to fill the piece of her heart that has been missing for 50 some years."
Whether the Boylan connection to Philomena Lee goes full circle, the Boylan family as Perez-Hewitt called it, is stronger for the memories.
The alums now have a website to share those memories and photos: www.photosforphilomena.com.

I am living proof that shit happens, so I know sometimes others have bad luck. But when I ended up with an e-mail that my gift had shipped, I got excited! And when it showed up, my late gifter did a FABULOUS job shopping for me. Well, actually, it was fabulous for my dogs! They got doggy toys from ThinkGeek! Included in my shipment was a dog treat ice tray (of which I already got one for xmas, but with FIVE dogs it's totally okay to have TWO!) and a tricky treat ball, which one of my dogs promptly figured out how to use! My dogs and I THANK YOU, mystery gifter! If you see this, please send me your user name so I can fully credit your awesomeness!

- SoC Status Reports
Action Items:
- jgarnett nominated as OSGeo representative
jgarnett: okay time to go
jgarnett: aaime it is now time right? So we can get you for 15 mins ...
jgarnett: Good morning Martin; anything for the meeting?
aaime: yep
aaime: for 13 minutes actually
desruisseaux: Hello Jody and all
jgarnett: I assume we are going to miss a few people with the new meeting time and all ...
jgarnett: so let us start
jgarnett: 0) what is up
aaime is working on speeding up the KML superoverlay code in GeoServer
jgarnett - udig now renderers; trying to review what is needed for 2.5.0; and generally happy it is summer
Eclesia1: hi al
jgarnett: Morning all ... topic 0) has already started; you know the drill - single line saying what you are up to. If anyone is up to something interesting you can chat with them on email.
jgarnett: 1) OSGeo Representative
jgarnett: Okay FrankW asked me today about our current osgeo representative form the PSC
Eclesia1 ahs prepared the style upgrade for 2.6.x, but has 4 last test failure in some stremaing renderer tests, but the code has no comment and is ... strange, so i cant fix those
desruisseaux: Martin: various task (cleaning, a bit of coverage work, etc)
jgarnett: moving on ...
jgarnett: I started out in this roll but burned out - I think acuster took over. Can you confirm Martin?
jgarnett: (I am searching the email archive)
desruisseaux: You means for the PSC representative?
FrankW: Note, the OSGeo reprsentative is normally the PSC chair.
FrankW: Do you guys have a chair?
jgarnett: looks like cholmes has volunteered.
FrankW: This will be the person named VP, GeoTools and expected to speak on behalf of the project, and answer on it's behalf.
jgarnett: We have a project management committee
aaime: we had one eons ago, but we don't really have a chair anymore in our PSC
jgarnett: we had James as our tie breaker.
jgarnett: Email record shows chomes as our representative after me; Dec 12 2006.
desruisseaux: There is Ian Turton as the historical creator of the project (together with James)
aaime: I hardly believe he has time
jgarnett: - http://firstname.lastname@example.com/msg05935.html
jgarnett: Indeed he later stepped down from the PMC did he not?
aaime: he did
desruisseaux: I don't know.
jgarnett: okay I will volunteer for this one
aaime: so we're chair-less
aaime: jgarnett++
desruisseaux: +1 for Jody
jgarnett: well this is more a representative to the OSgeo foundation; so not exactly a chair.
FrankW: I believe Chris was the incubation rep.
FrankW: This isn't the same thing - or at least it does not need to be.
FrankW: I would think the VP GeoTools should at least be on the PMC!
FrankW: The rep is traditionally the chair though it is not strictly necessary.
jgarnett: oh I see ...
FrankW: From what I've seen, I think jgarnett is the logical choice if he is willing.
jgarnett: Okay - so I will need to write this down on the inncubation page I guess Frank?
jgarnett: And will put it in our developer guide as well.
FrankW: It doesn't have to be on the incubation page.
FrankW: But I do think you could note it in your PMC docs.
jgarnett: http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOT/4+Project+Management+Committee
jgarnett: done
jgarnett: So my role for this will be communication monkey
jgarnett: rather than code monkey.
FrankW: It would be best if jgarnett was put in this role by a vote of the PMC.
aaime: here is my vote
aaime: and now I really have to run away
jgarnett: aaime can you make the motion.
aaime: vote for jgarnett to be osgeo representative
aaime: +1
aaime is now known as aaime|away
jgarnett: +0 (since I am being nominated)
desruisseaux: +1
jgarnett: simone and jdeolive are on holiday
lreed firstname.lastname@example.com entered the room.
desruisseaux: I don't think they would object.
jgarnett: Ian T is MIA (the joys of academic life may be too much for him)
jgarnett: I will send an email out; Frank this can be offical as the votes come back in.
FrankW: OK, thanks folks!
FrankW: jgarnett: I'll assume it will be ok, unless I hear otherwise. Use whatever your process calls for.
desruisseaux: Are we done with topic 1?
Eclesia1: (+1 for jody ^^ )
jgarnett: well I should of probably voted +1 so you could of gotten an answer right now; but we can wait a few days.
jgarnett: :-P
(9:48:32 jgarnett: 2) GeoTools 3
desruisseaux: Thats mine
jgarnett: martin the floor is yours; personally I like the range of ideas expressed thus far - I think we have lots to work with.
desruisseaux: We would like a GeoTools with some cleaning in it. Adrian proposed the "geotidy" name.
desruisseaux: (as a code name; could be GeoTools 3 or something else as people wish)
desruisseaux: We can not really continue very long to work on GeoTools 2.
jgarnett: I would also like the same thing
jgarnett: but I think we need to negotiate a bit on what tidy means
desruisseaux: Moving on distributed versionning system make easier to express a wider range of opinions.
desruisseaux: It also reduce the pressure to commit unfinished stuff.
jgarnett: martin we need to get some documentation on the distributed version control thing
jgarnett: we have some contributors that really need this.
jgarnett: (I have tried asking for a couple of weeks; can you write down even some quick notes to help them get started)
jgarnett: (I can make that a seperate agenda topic if you like)
desruisseaux: There is on-line tutorial on Mercurial
desruisseaux: How they will applied exactly to GeoTools is to be determined
desruisseaux: since we are still setting up what may be GeoTools 3.
desruisseaux: Peoples can start with that: http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/index.cgi/UnderstandingMercurial
jgarnett: So martin one of the things I want to emphaise here is communication; we had a hard time communicating with Simone when he was on a branch for a year. I am hard pressed to see how distributed version control is going to help matters stay on track; it is very attractive for groups of developers to go off on branches in order to make some tight deadlines - and then expensive to merge back in; go through the community process of collaboration and all that.
jgarnett: So I think that setting up a few policies
jgarnett: around the use of mercurial
jgarnett: is a great place to start.
jgarnett: Does that make sense; we have some great ideas on what geotools 3 can be.
jgarnett: And some wonderful opperunities based on the new work your organization; and several other organizations are getting involved in.
jgarnett: I want to make sure we are prepaired
jgarnett: before we open up GeoTools 3 for hacking.
CIA-32: jezekjan * r31012 /trunk/spike/jan/gsoc-transformations/src/main/java/org/geotools/referencing/operation/builder/GridParameters.java: Spike/Jan - Bug with negative array fixed
jgarnett: I have said I was prepaired to scope this out after OSGeo graduation; and thanks to some heroic efforts on acusters part we are now there
jgarnett has changed the topic to: 0) what is up 1) OSGeo Representative 2) GeoTools 3 3) SoC Stauts Reports
jgarnett: So what would you like to do martin? When can we start this discussion
jgarnett: is it something to handle at the PMC level?
jgarnett: Or should we as a responsible PMC consult the various organizations that fund our work? Refractions, GeoMatys, Open Planning Project etc...
desruisseaux: We could start the work and put a repository on-line on a geomatys server, so peoples can take a look if they wish.
jgarnett: I am not sure that would help Martin
jgarnett: part of the thing here is that we have a credibility crises here for GeoMatys
jgarnett: in terms of communication and control
jgarnett: still open development here would be good;
jgarnett: anything we can do to communicate your priorities; and what is happening with GeoAPI and so on would be excellent.
jgarnett: But perhaps I am thinking from another angle from you?
jgarnett: For me there is no repository yet; there is no GeoToold 3 project yet.
jgarnett: I need to get a "mandate" (something we can all believe in)
jgarnett: and then search for the correct venue; timeline; etc...
jgarnett: I am starting to entertain svn on osgeo hardware; and distributed version control to allow teams to work together (rather than branches)
jgarnett: but I need us to tell a better story then we did for GeoTools 2; both in terms of allowing teams to work together
jgarnett: and in terms of common goals.
desruisseaux: I would like to express the reasons why we are heading in the direction of GeoTools 3
jgarnett: I think we did a lot of that on email; the good news was that we all have similar motivations and similar scope.
desruisseaux: When I joined the GeoTools project 5 years ago, I was dreaming of a library
desruisseaux: I was hopping to build the best open source geographic toolsbox around (at least in the java world)
desruisseaux: As the years goes one, GeoTools became more like a bazar
desruisseaux: Patches submitted under time constraints
desruisseaux: While I come from a world where we try to think in longer terms
desruisseaux: (sciences vs business)
desruisseaux: Adrian and myself had strong disagreement with other member in this community
desruisseaux: But I stands with Adrian on most points. He have a quality that I appreciate a lot, which is sadly very uncommon in this community: rigor
iant_ email@example.com entered the room.
desruisseaux: The fact that Adrian and myself are the only ones with a scientific background my be part of an explication why we are having a hard time to be in agreement with the business view.
jgarnett: Understood
jgarnett: Martin I also have a long term plan in terms of API; usefulness and community.
desruisseaux: I was hopping a library released on a "when ready" policy; but in practice it is developped on a "when the client want it" or "when geoserver want a release" policy.
jgarnett: Now we each have different capabilities in terms of funding this dream; so far I am only able to get small chunks of time/money and as such have not been able to do all I have wanted on each day.
jgarnett: The stratagy for GeoTools 2
jgarnett: has been to build it because it is needed
jgarnett: once we have a working implementation
jgarnett: back it on to formal geoapi interfaces
jgarnett: as they are made available.
jgarnett: We are always caught in the conflct because GeoTools is a library used to develope
jgarnett: the standards as well as to implement them when they are published.
jgarnett: So I like this cycle.
jgarnett: However GeoAPI side lost some steam; so one of the things I would like to see for GeoTools 3 is a swift kick to get the GeoAPI project moving?
jgarnett: Does that make sense? I think it is compatible with both your goals; your companies goals; and the need to ship a useful library all the time.
desruisseaux: I was wondering if GeoAPI could be the glue between GeoTools 2 and GeoTools 3 (making easier to switch to geotools 3), with the side effect of increasing his credibility?
jgarnett: In short I find I need both sides (sciences and business) to have a library that is both correct (yeah siences) and timely (yeah business).
jgarnett: that is a good idea; migration stratagy is to use GeoAPI interfaces.
jgarnett: that has a lot of upside.
desruisseaux: I agree that there is both world (sciences and busincess) to conciliate
jgarnett: Now for GeoTools 2 we had a mandate - implement GeoAPI interfaces as they became available.
jgarnett: We did not quite get buy in for that mandiate all around; as an example (just like for documentation) there was not always budget to formally define a GeoAPI interface
jgarnett: for each deadline.
jgarnett: I think that is actaully really good.
jgarnett: because frankly a correct GeoAPI
jgarnett: that does not have a couple of implementations (and thus represent a compromise)
jgarnett: is pretty silly or not credible to me.
jgarnett: I am not sure how you feel about that?
desruisseaux: I believe that there is 2 things we need to do in order to get more GeoAPI implementations:
Eclesia1 is now known as Eclesia
desruisseaux: 1) make it alive as an OGC working group (a way to do "marketing")
desruisseaux: 2) Creates a test suite for GeoAPI implementation, which would give a clearer benefit for implementors to use this project.
desruisseaux: #2 implies moving some Geotools tests to GeoAPI.
jgarnett: yes to both counts
desruisseaux: Adrian is already preparing that for geometries.
jgarnett: the test case code should be either LGPL or Public Domain
jgarnett: (for obvious reasons)
iant_: couldn't we define GeoTools as the reference implementation of GeoAPI?
jgarnett: I am not sure that would be smart Ian
jgarnett: we make compromises to GeoTools to "get it done"
iant_: I'm not sure how you'd define tests for interfaces
jgarnett: for GeoAPI we often want to "Get it right"
desruisseaux: I would like that, but not from our initiative. It would be nice to get that words from OGC.
jgarnett: even at the expense of usability.
desruisseaux: We could select onyl a subset of geotools
desruisseaux: to be proposed as reference implementation
jgarnett: ianT_ you can inject a factory into the test case; implementors would subclass the test case.
desruisseaux: But the decision would need to be OGC's one (I don't think they would object if our implementation is correct)
jgarnett: Martin let me bounce an idea off you
iant_: OK
jgarnett: (and then we should think about wrapping up this meeting in 10 mins)
jgarnett: One way to get more GeoAPI implementations is to make more GeoAPI implementations.
jgarnett: consider GeoTools as the nice friendly beast we know and love from GeoTools 2
jgarnett: And a GeoTools Kernal or something
jgarnett: that has all the strict implementations.
jgarnett: As an example our Filter implementation today contains a lot of backwards compatibility loving code and hacks.
jgarnett: A second implementation that avoided all that would a) be fun b) be clear c) be intergrated with GeoTools at a Factory / GeoAPI level.
jgarnett: ie; we need more than one implementation to be crediable.
desruisseaux: But could this second implementation be proposed as part of GeoTools 3?
jgarnett: there is nothing stopping us from providing several implementations.
jgarnett: I am talking about the structure of GeoTools 3
desruisseaux: Fine
jgarnett: ie how to set it up as an interesting project; with room for collaboration etc...
iant_: I'm not sure how much credability it gets us if both implementations come from GeoTools
jgarnett: in a sense this would be very much "Eating our own dog food" on the factory front.
jgarnett: Iant_ ++
jgarnett: Iant_ I agree on the credibility side of things
jgarnett: but there are two levels here;
jgarnett: in terms of the java community GeoAPI was set up to provide a venue for communication
jgarnett: recent Java Collab discussions
desruisseaux: For GeoAPI, I think that we really need to find the time and energy to support a OGC working group. We need a chair and members of at least 3 different organizations.
jgarnett: have left me a bit cold; I don't think other projects are interested in collaborating at this level.
jgarnett: but I know from experience that commercial and research organizations are
jgarnett: (indeed behind the scenes they funded most of my geoapi / geotools / standards work)
jgarnett: so there is a roll here - but it may not always be with other java open source projects.
desruisseaux: As long as GeoAPI provides only interfaces, other projects may see it as just constraints. But if we provides a test suite for this interfaces, they are starting to see benefit in implementing them. If in addition we migrate for example the OpenOffice plugins from GeoTools to GeoAPI, they would have yet more benefit.
jgarnett: IanT - to finish. Even with two implementations from geotools memebers I would feel more comfortable and trusting of a geoapi interface.
desruisseaux: (assuming some are interrested in a OpenOffice plugins)
jgarnett: (I never want to repeate the SYS_TECHNOLOGIES experience)
jgarnett: martin we may need to offer a bit more than test cases; but it is a start.
jgarnett: Let me give an example; if we can start offering geotools modules as reuseable components
jgarnett: the boundaries of which are defined
jgarnett: using formal geoapi interfaces.
jgarnett: we may have something.
jgarnett: (But we got to work on thouse interfaces / boundaries)
jgarnett: there is a blance between correct and simplicity that we don't hit
jgarnett: and we can measure the lack of success
jgarnett: Still there are good ideas all around here; and good examples.
jgarnett: I find it amazing that the old CoordinateSystem implementation
jgarnett: is winning out the deegree community
jgarnett: over the new CoordianteReferneceSystem?
jgarnett: I don't even undertand how that decision is worked out?
jgarnett: DO you have any insight martin?
desruisseaux: I have theory
jgarnett: Is the old CS implementation that much more simple?
desruisseaux: The old CS implementation is simplier and closer to WKT, but it was to simple.
jgarnett: Or is it just a lack of control issue? So much process behind GeoAPI that developers would feel at risk ?
desruisseaux: On the Degrees using the old CS, the main issue is that they are not seeing the difficulties of referencing.
desruisseaux: They are discovering it as they progress
desruisseaux: And they are redoing what is already done in current geotools implementation.
desruisseaux: For example the post last week about how to get the CRS that are valid over the USA.
desruisseaux: By not trusting ISO 19111, they do not admit that the referencing issue is more complex that they believe
desruisseaux: And they are discovering the complexity progressively
desruisseaux: For example in the old CS implementation, there is no way to known if a CRS use a cartesian, ellipsoidal or spherical coordiante system.
desruisseaux: Soon or later, when they will want to do serious mathematic, they will hit this wall.
jgarnett: hrm
jgarnett: so what we have here is a communication problem
desruisseaux: You can not do all yours mathematic as if the everything is cartesian.
jgarnett: (ie I am sure you communicated correctly; but sometimes communication problems can be with respect to listening)
jgarnett: We also need to publish how amazing geotools is more often
jgarnett: Unless we write articles and talk about how nice it is to have a good coordinate reference system implementation
jgarnett: nobody will notice when they google the topic.
jgarnett: (right now if they google most of what they find about geotools is bursa wolf transform parameter questions)
jgarnett: but that is more of a PMC / publicity issue
jgarnett: one we should be able to turn to now that OSGeo graduation is winding down.
desruisseaux: Justin pointed out that not having the referencing module downlable as a single JAR is a major reason.
jgarnett: yeah that is a big one.
jgarnett: you know what.
jgarnett: that - and just that
jgarnett: would make an excellent "first" geotools 3 component.
jgarnett: (the idea of bundling geotools components seperate is a good one; you saw my email on version numbers)
desruisseaux: I had this idea in mind, and this is also a reason why I'm pushing for geotools 3.
jgarnett: well starting out with a message everyone likes is a good move
desruisseaux: Yes I saw your email - I was not sure if it would be easy to do or not.
jgarnett: (you know the pressure of science vs buiness means this first component will have to be "referencing for JTS" :-D )
desruisseaux: What would look like referencing for JtS?
jgarnett: it may not be easy; but we should tell some story with the version numbers.
jgarnett: that is a good question - what referencing for JTS would look like.
jgarnett: I have some quick ideas;
jgarnett: CRS facade + JTS facade
jgarnett: store the CoordinateReferenceSystem object in the Geometry.getUserData()
jgarnett: and use that maven plugin to hunt down all other stuff.
jgarnett: ie fold this into a single download = geoapi interfaces, various geotools classes - and epsg-hsql
jgarnett: does that sound about right?
jgarnett: note the normal GeoTools 3 referencing module would be more general;
desruisseaux: Yes it was my plan to provide a single JAR with what peoples need
iant_: have you seen the fatjar project on sourceforge?
jgarnett: this JTS+referencing thing would be a seperate "product" -
desruisseaux: Yes I saw fatjar
jgarnett: no; but martin found a slick plug-in for maven.
desruisseaux: And I'm thinking about using it
desruisseaux: I think that the Maven plugin used fatjar
iant_: I've used it for some of my projects and i works well - plugs in to eclipse
jgarnett: (aside: iant_ if you can vote on a couple recent proposals - we miss you!)
jgarnett: Okay this was a good discussion
iant_: (already voted for you as osgeo rep)
jgarnett: Martin I need to stay cool for a couple more weeks; and have these discussions with you
jgarnett: and then we can get serious and start some formal planning.
jgarnett: does that meet with your timelines at all?
desruisseaux: As of referencing in JTS, getSRID doesn't have to be EPSG number right? So it could be numbers generated by GeoTools and uniquely assigned to a CRS in a running JVM (or does it have to be persistent between different JVM executions)?
jgarnett: oh good thought there...
jgarnett: I suspect that some implementations will store the SRID number
jgarnett: (I know for POSTGIS we make use of this number to reference the Spatail_Ref_SYS table)
jgarnett: but that is a good thought.
jgarnett: 3) SOC Status reports
jgarnett: wolf was collecting them
jgarnett: Simone was on holiday so I tried to answer a few questions
jgarnett: but in general SoC students have not been at IRC
jgarnett: and with out a wiki page or status emails
jgarnett: I feel a bit out of the loop?
jgarnett: Does anyone have a SoC student?
jgarnett: Or is anyone here a SOC student?
desruisseaux: Not on our side
jgarnett: fair enough
jgarnett: We should call the meeting over
Eclesia: the one you asked me to help didn't even send me a mail ...
jgarnett: there is a couple threads about release planning this week.
jgarnett: Eclesia he did respond to both of us; it was not very clear but it sounded like he managed to sort things out.
jgarnett: (and thank you for trying to help; I think most of what he needed was an encouraging word)
jgarnett: Martin for release planning
jgarnett: what does referencing need?
darkblue_B left the room.
jgarnett: And is there any help that can be provided?
desruisseaux: It is basically in the same state than 2.4. It contains a lot of duplicated code; EpsgThreadedFactories are modified copy of other classes, and those classes are quite big.
desruisseaux: So the amount of duplication is quite important
jgarnett: Rigth and we put off the clean up until 2.5 here
jgarnett: well can we try cutting cold turkey?
desruisseaux: I'm not sure which implementation is actually used, which make interpretation of stack trace more hasardeous
jgarnett: we should be able to do that just with changing the FactorySPI file
jgarnett: if we do it now; it sounds like we will get a couple weeks of solid testing out of GeoServer
jgarnett: and I can try and transition to epsg-hsql on uDig trunk
jgarnett: when you say you are not sure what implementation is actually used what do you mean?
desruisseaux: I do not know by memory what is declared in META-INF
jgarnett: okay;
jgarnett: I do
jgarnett: right now "my" implementation
jgarnett: is not hooked up
jgarnett: so cutting over; and talking about any bugs on email
jgarnett: is the first step
jgarnett: We can leave the "old" implementation there for a bit; perhaps someone wants to use it via a factory hint?
desruisseaux: I don't think we should add a factory hints for old implementations
jgarnett: I was thinking the hint where you say exactly what factory to use?
desruisseaux: So lets edit META-INF...
desruisseaux: Ah yes
desruisseaux: I forgot this one
jgarnett: um; I will wrap up the meeting IRC logs then
jgarnett: (thanks everyone; early meeting time is indeed better for starting on time)
desruisseaux: Bye all
desruisseaux: Thanks for running the meeting Jody

How to Order Your Bonzie Bridal Bolero
Price : $150 (€118)
You Can order your "bonzie bridal bolero" with us from our online store at http://www.bonzie.etsy.com/
All the boleros listed are generally showcased in standard size US 6 (UK 10), so if you are lucky enough to be a standard size and find the bolero from our store that you like, simply click on the green "add to cart" button on the right hand side of the pictures and etsy will guide you through the checkout process in a few easy steps. However, if your keen to have a different size or want the same bolero but in a different shade then the Steps below should help you make that happen in time for your special day.
STEP 2. Provide your measurements via email or convo.
· Bust measurement in inches
· Bra size
· Clothing size ( specify US or UK sizing)
· Upper Back measurement ( see pic above titled UPPER BACK GUIDE)
We like to know that we are sending your package out to the correct address so if you think that your address is saved on your etsy or paypal account in any way incomplete, simply send us an email/convo to update us of your correct destination.
STEP 4. Put the feet up and wait, your bolero is on the way!
You should expect to receive your bolero within 1-2weeks of making your purchase. N.B, we will need to know your measurements promptly too if your in a hurry for your piece, as we won't be able to create your bolero unless you have provided these for us. :) When you purchased your bolero on etsy, you were charged a shipping/handling cost. This payment covers Irish Registered Post which allows online tracking so both the buyer and seller can follow the parcels journey as it makes its merry way to you! It's important to note here that we are both relying on the postal service to be operating at normal service, if perhaps a Volcano Ash crisis grounds planes or a Christmas holiday pops up, then you could expect to see a wee delay during these times, usually just a couple of days, so give yourself plenty of time to order and receive your piece. Whilst we have seen our boleros reach US clients within 5 days it is always best to account for a longer period of time when planning your special day to avoid any disappointment.
If you find your dream bolero from our stock but would prefer to change the sleeves that is perfectly doable. There is an additional charge for labour and material when adding different sleeves to an existing bolero design. If you want to avail of this alteration, simply get in touch prior to making any purchase and we will create a special "reserved" listing in our store which will include the additional sleeve alteration cost.
-capped sleeve (15dollars), 3/4length sleeve (20dollars), long sleeve (25dollars)
We have a range of shades available in our studios and most of our silk boleros seen above can be requested in any of these shades at no extra cost at all! So if you fancy adding a pop of color to your bridal ensemble please get in touch before purchase and check availability with us on the color your keen on and we can confirm for you if it is in stock or not. :)
Here at bonzie designs, we appreciate that it can be very difficult making a purchase online and near impossible to get the exact match of ivory/white etc to your dress by looking at a picture alone, so we offer to send our brides shade swatches to compare with their own gowns so they can make a comfie purchase having chosen the right shade from our range. To order your swatches simply get in touch and let us know the following details
- full name, mailing address, shades your keen to try
As a result of being based in Ireland(Europe) and selling through a U.S based site to an International market we are quite used to dealing with different currencies, however we appreciate that it may be a little daunting for our clients, so heres the skinny on currency.
There is a very handy currency converter online which can convert from US dollars into any currency you like so you can see instantly what the cost is in your local currency. This is at www.xe.com . We are also going to be adding Euros and Sterling prices into our listings in our online shop so you can see currency conversions at a glance.
Also, although our online store www.bonzie.etsy.com is a U.S based site and displays in Dollars, the purchasing process is a piece of cake and you will be guided through the checkout and given the option to pay with either your credit card or paypal account, where the currency conversion is done automatically , so no need to worry about currency at all from a purchasing point of view.
We hope that helps with your bolero queries, and we look forward to meeting you in our etsy store. www.bonzie.etsy.com where your bridal bolero is our special service. :)
Your bolero is handmade from our design studios in Ireland , with lots of love too! Aunt and Niece, Ger and Yvonne create each piece with meticulous care and attention and enjoy being a part of your special day!!

Wild recalls F Coyle, places D Spurgeon on IR
FEB 03, 2013 11:26a ET
If Coyle plays Monday against Phoenix, it will be the 20-year-old's NHL debut. He has played with the Houston Aeros of the American Hockey League this season, scoring 14 goals and adding 10 assists in 44 games.
Coyle played his college hockey at Boston University and was traded from San Jose to the Wild along with Devin Setoguchi and a first-round draft pick in exchange for Brent Burns and a second-round pick in 2011. Coyle also competed for the United States in the World Junior Championship in 2011.
Spurgeon has missed the last five games with what is being called a lower body injury.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Liz Carr is a British actor, stand-up comedian,[1] broadcaster and international disability rights activist, who studied law at Nottingham University.[2]
Carr uses a wheelchair and frequently refers to her condition in her stand-up as "meus thronus kaputus". She is frank about her life as a disabled person and the inherent comedy that brings - "I've had some tuts, which is fantastic... I look quite frail to some people, so it's like, 'She's talking about sex, she's swearing.' Every stereotype you didn't expect. People generally look terrified. 'Oh my God, is she going to be funny? Can we laugh at this?'".[3]
She has been part of a number of comedy groups, including "Abnormally Funny People" with Tanyalee Davis, Steve Day, Steve Best, Simon Minty and Chris McCausland.
In 2007 she was runner up in the Hackney Empire New Act of the Year competition.
Carr co-hosted the BBC's Royal Television Society award winning Ouch! Podcast [4] with Mat Fraser from 2006 to 2013, and in 2011 worked as a researcher for the long running BBC panel show and British TV comedy series, Have I Got News for You.
In 2011, Carr was part of a Newsnight debate on the controversial issue of assisted suicide, following the screening on the BBC of Terry Pratchett: Choosing to Die, which included Jeremy Paxman and David Aaronovitch.[5]
In 2013, she joined the long-running BBC crime thriller series Silent Witness as regular character Clarissa Mullery[6][7]
For the past 20 years, Carr has been a disability rights campaigner in the UK and has spoken at many rallies. In May 2008 she joined with ADAPT, a prominent disability rights group in the United States, to raise money for ADAPT and to protest against presidential candidate John McCain's refusal to support the right of people with disabilities to live in their own homes.

(Ran a search; topics similar to this have been raised, but I don't think this specifically. Apologies if I missed something...)
How much collateral damage would you be "willing" to "cause" in order to take out a threat?
I was inspired by this thread, where I think one person in seven pages said they wouldn't shoot a pregnant woman...
Obviously, this is not a clear-cut question. "Well, biasedbulldog, I'd be willing to take out exactly three innocents and wound two..."
All the same, the question remains, and for those of us who intend to use our CCW's in defense of self and family if necessary, I do think the question is relevant. Highly unlikely -- but so is using your firearm in the first place. Worth thinking about beforehand, IMO.
A few thoughts in favor of shooting:
-Any damage, injury, or deaths resulting from a criminal activity are the fault of the criminals -- hence the criminal homicide laws many states have (a death caused, even indirectly or unintentionally, by criminal activity can be considered murder by the criminal). So in an abstract sense, it is certainly not *your* collateral damage, nor are you *causing* it at all.
-In most circumstances, there's a good chance that a CCW'er will be the only one immediately able to stop the threat and more might die by inaction or hesitation than through "collateral damage."
All that being true, I still don't believe that I would squeeze a trigger if I would be as likely to kill an innocent as the BG. God forbid I should consider the preservation of my own skin the highest of all possible goods (I am currently single - no wife, no kids... so I will go ahead and say that could certainly change my attitude)... and while it may be reasonable to say the blame is with the criminal, I cannot imagine not feeling ultimately responsible for the destination of a bullet exiting a pistol fired by me.
More motivation to keep training -- and to work hard in the defensive handgun class I'll be taking next week...

Translate this page Special tax district formed for I-15 housing projectSupervisors finalize arrangement for Horse Creek RidgeThursday, March 13th, 2014 Issue 11, Volume 18.
A 5-0 San Diego County Board of Supervisors vote Feb. 26 declared the results of the mail ballot election to form the CFD. D.R. Horton is the sole property owner of the currently-uninhabited land and cast the supporting ballot. The supervisors vote also included officially adopting the ordinance to create the special district and levy the appropriate taxes. "The CFD is formed," said Michele Stress, the special districts program coordinator for the countys Department of Public Works. The election and its results declaration date were approved by a 5-0 Board of Supervisors vote Jan. 29 which also approved the introduction and first reading of the ordinance to create the district and levy the tax and approved the execution and delivery of Joint Community Facilities Agreements with the North County Fire Protection District and the San Diego County Flood Control District. The supervisors also found that the actions are within the scope of the projects Environmental Impact Report adopted in May 2011. The Jan. 29 action also included a public hearing on the creation of the district and the assessment of the tax, although no members of the public spoke. "This was just the follow-up action," Stress said of the Feb. 26 final approval. The Horse Creek Ridge development is the residential segment of the Campus Park project approved by the Board of Supervisors in May 2011. The approved map calls for 521 single-family residences and 230 condominium dwelling units. The one percent base property tax will not be sufficient to cover county, San Diego County Flood Control District, or North County Fire Protection District services which will be needed to serve the district. The County of San Diego and D.R. Horton (who purchased the residential component of Campus Park from Passarelle, LLC) worked to create a Community Facilities District which includes a special tax to pay for services not funded by the regular property tax. The revenue will be distributed through a Joint Community Facilities Agreement which stipulates the collection process as well as the distribution process. The CFD allows for the collection of three special taxes: one for county services, one for Advertisement The initial tax for county services is $655 per single-family residential unit, $496 per multi-family residential unit, and $5,256 per acre of undeveloped property. The base tax to fund flood control needs is $267 per single-family unit, $203 per multi-family unit, and $2,144 per undeveloped acre. There is no levy for fire protection and emergency medical services on the undeveloped property. Each single-family unit will initially be assessed $201 for the fire and emergency medical services tax while each multi-family dwelling unit is $153. The initial tax amount is for fiscal year 2014-15. The taxes will increase by two percent annually to cover the increased cost of services. The property will also be part of Zone A of the San Diego County Street Lighting District and property owners will pay that annual assessment, which is currently $6.48 per benefit unit. In 2007, the county supervisors adopted Board Policy I-136 which outlines how potential Community Facilities District projects will be evaluated, ensures that CFDs are created for the public good, and stipulates disclosure requirements which notify prospective property owners of the assessment. Policy I-136 also defines credit requirements to protect bondholders from default for CFDs which issue bonds for reimbursement of constructed infrastructure, although Horse Creek Ridge will fund services only and will not use long-term bonds. Horse Creek Ridge is the second CFD in unincorporated San Diego County; the first is in Harmony Grove. The first step required to form a CFD is a petition from the developer, which was received along with the proposed boundary map. The supervisors 5-0 vote Dec. 4 to adopt an intent to form a CFD was the next step, followed by the noticed public hearing and adoption of a resolution forming the CFD. On Oct. 22, the North County Fire Protection District board voted 5-0 to approve the Joint Community Facilities Agreement for Horse Creek Ridge. Seven percent of the one percent base property tax assessed on the land will be provided to the fire district along with the CFD assessment. 7 comments
When do they start construction? And when will it be completed? I also heard there will be commercial buildings constructed. Is that true?
Tax.... Tax and more Tax...
Just what we need....more traffic on I-15.
@ #2 Ray (the real one) & #3 Me I couldn't agree more!
And where? Hey Village News, would it kill you to include a map every once in awhile? You could put it in all the space currently used by extraneous detail in most of your articles. ***VILLAGE NEWS REPLIES*** - We have been reporting on this project for months and referred to it's location multiple times, but sorry you missed it. There are multiple housing developments in the works for the large area of vacant land that lies east of Interstate 15 and directly north of State Route 76. If that still draws a blank for you, I could say if you were at Pala Mesa Resort, Nessy Burger, etc. look across the Interstate 15 freeway (to the east like you are looking toward Palomar Mountain) and that is the area. Hope that helps. Horse Creek Ridge is merely the first of several developments in the pipeline - residential and commercial. D. Ramsey
We don't have enough water yet we stuff in more homes. Brilliant. Money (taxes) is what matters, of course.
What ever happened to the Palomar College site. I thought it was passed several years ago but nothing is happening. Ist that in the same area? *** VILLAGE NEWS COMMENTS - Yes, you are correct. We are having a hard time getting updates from Palomar College. The consensus we have heard is they are seeking funding for their project in that area.

Lie Down in the Darkness, Rise up from the Ash
thelauderdale - 19 Dec 11 - 7:56 PM
Ch. 18: And All the King's Men
It wasn't until Aragorn and Gimli had their exchange with Hama that I realized - D'OH. This time they don't have Gandalf with them. I'm so busy watching you stitch new patterns, I'm missing the threads that you are discreetly leaving loose to weave in later.
And poor Eowyn. Until Eomer's exchange with Grima, I didn't think of it that way, but she had so much of herself invested in that identity. She has given up so much. Surely she has a part to play yet, but I'm so worried for her.

Two groups of people share our special interest this quarter: refugees and Native Americans.
Words and phrases in Hmong [h-MONG], Karen [kah-REHN], and Navajo are featured throughout the quarterly. An audio version of Navajo, called "See It, Say It," is featured on our website, www.AdventistMission.org. Click on "Resources" and "Children's Activities."
The special children's project will help provide materials for Native American children's Vacation Bible School programs. Copy the map of North America onto a large poster. Print pictures of Native American children from our website and color them (or invite the children to color them). As your class reaches its weekly or cumulative mission offering goal, add a picture of a child to the map. (To determine your weekly goal, select a monetary goal and divide it by 13.)
Yours for the kingdom,

Staten Island / ˌ s t æ t ən ˈ aɪ l ə n d / is one of the five boroughs of New York City, in the U.S. state of New York, located in the southwest part of the city. Staten Island is the southernmost part of the both the City and State of New York, with Conference House Park at the southern tip of the island and the state. The borough is separated from New Jersey by the Arthur Kill and the Kill Van Kull, and from the rest of New York by New York Bay. With a 2013 Census-estimated population of 472,621, Staten Island is the least populated of the boroughs but is the third-largest in area at 59 sq mi (153 km 2). The borough is coextensive with Richmond County, and until 1975 the borough was officially named the Borough of Richmond. Staten Island has been sometimes called "the forgotten borough" by inhabitants who feel neglected by the city government. The North Shore — especially the neighborhoods of St. George, Tompkinsville, Clifton, and Stapleton — is the most urban part of the island; it contains the officially designated St. George Historic District and the St. Paul's Avenue-Stapleton Heights Historic District, which feature large Victorian houses. The East Shore is home to the 2.5-mile (4 km) F.D.R. Boardwalk, the fourth-longest in the world. The South Shore developed rapidly beginning in the 1960s and 1970s, and is mostly suburban in character. The West Shore is the least populated and most industrial part of the island.Staten Island used to claim the Fresh Kills Landfill, which was at one point the world's largest landfill. It was closed in 2001, then shortly afterward temporarily reopened to receive the debris from the September 11th attacks. The landfill is being made into what will be New York City's second largest public park. Motor traffic can reach the borough from Brooklyn via the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge and from New Jersey via the Outerbridge Crossing, Goethals Bridge, and Bayonne Bridge. Staten Island has Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) bus lines and a MTA rapid transit line, the Staten Island Railway, which runs from the ferry terminal at St. George to Tottenville. Staten Island is the only borough that is not connected to the New York City subway system. The free Staten Island Ferry connects the borough to Manhattan and is a popular tourist attraction, providing views of the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, and Lower Manhattan. [more on Wikipedia]

New Nokia 5000, 7070 Prism, 2680 slide and 1680 classic
With the industry's largest portfolio of mobile phones and support for more than 80 languages, more than one billion people worldwide currently use a Nokia device. In recent years, the majority of first-time buyers have come from the emerging markets. However, a significant shift is underway - while the first-time buyer market continues to grow, the number of replacement buyers- consumers seeking to replace their current mobile phone with a newer, more advanced model - has also grown substantially in emerging markets. In 2008, Nokia anticipates that for the first time, the number of replacement purchases in emerging markets will exceed those of first-time buyers.
"People in emerging markets like Africa are increasingly demanding more from their mobile phone - their expectations and demands in terms of functionality and design are similar to people in any other part of the world - they simply have less income at their disposal," says Alex Lambeek, Vice President, Entry, who oversees Nokia's efforts in emerging markets. "From the introduction of Nokia's most affordable megapixel cameraphone, to a localized email solution in South Africa, we believe today's announcements demonstrate Nokia's firm commitment to bringing products and services that serve the varied needs and tastes of people in emerging markets."
Nokia 5000 - a powerful package at an accessible price
Boasting a 1.3 megapixel camera, a high resolution QVGA display, FM radio with recording functionality, MP3 ringtones and more, the Nokia 5000 will set a new standard for functionalty and affordability. For mobile entrepreneurs as well as people on the move, the Nokia 5000 supports email and other essential benefits including Nokia Xpress Audio Messaging, Bluetooth and GPRS connectivity. The Nokia 5000 is expected to begin shipping in the second quarter of 2008 with an estimated retail price of EUR 90, before subsidies and taxes.
- Specification, Photos
Nokia's first slide device for entry markets, the Nokia 2680 slide is a slim cameraphone that offers a balance of ease of use and entertainment functionality, including an FM radio with recording capability and MP3 ringtones, and core mobile phone features such as an expanded phone book. Its integrated digital camera ensures spontaneous moments are captured and shared. The Nokia 2680 slide is expected to begin shipping in the third quarter of 2008 with estimated retail price of EUR 75 before subsidies and taxes.
- Specification, Photos
Featuring a distinctive folding design with geometric patterns and external light effects, the stylish Nokia 7070 Prism is targeted at people who express their personality through their mobile phone. The Nokia 7070 Prism offers personalized content, including themes and wallpapers, and MP3-grade ringtones. Every aspect of this new phone, including its voice recorder and integrated hands-free speaker, is designed for people who want to stand out from the crowd. The Nokia 7070 Prism is expected to begin shipping in the third quarter of 2008 with estimated retail price of EUR 50 before subsidies and taxes.
- Specification, Photos
Nokia's most affordable cameraphone to date, the Nokia 1680 classic offers essential mobile phone functionality with the added benefits of a basic digital camera. The phone with VGA camera and video recording features one-touch access for photos and videos. For families or small businesses, the Nokia 1680 classic also offers phone sharing functionality and easy access to email. The Nokia 1680 classic is expected to begin shipping in the second quarter of 2008 with an estimated retail price of EUR 50 before subsidies and taxes.
- Specification, Photos
With the demand for mobile email on the rise, Nokia and Webmail International (PTY) Ltd today introduced Webmobile, a locally hosted mobile email solution exclusively for South Africa. The solution, configured for the new Nokia devices launched today, will be available in the second quarter of 2008.

Yes, I had that in mind when I wrote up the bug, but Richard beat me to the assignment of the bug. Something like: sed -i -e 's/static \(const char \*argp_program\)/\1/' \ tests/genfile.c which covers both changes. We could probably get away with: sed -i -e 's/static \(const\)/\1/' tests/genfile.c Which get the whole thing on one line. -- Bruce

EUGENE, Ore. — We're still months away from the Lane County Fair, but the excitement has already started.
There are some big names headed to Eugene, including Trace Adkins, Josh Turner and Pat Benatar.
The staff says having the big names in the lineup shows how much the fair has grown over the years, and they hope people are excited to see this summer's shows.
"We have worked really, really hard with our artists over the last few years to make sure that they feel welcome, not only here at the Lane County Fair, but in Eugene as a whole and in Lane County as a whole. They do spend some time outside of here. They go to the coast. They go to the mountains. They do all kinds of stuff here. I think it speaks highly of our area," said Rachel Bivens, Fair Director of Marketing.
Tickets go on sale on the fair website on June 1 and at the office July 1.

et al. 2001b; Nisenbaum et al. 2004; Simmons et al. 2004; Unwin et al. 1999), Canada (Goss Gilroy Inc. 1998), Australia (Kelsall et al. 2004b), or Denmark (Ishoy et al. 1999b)—have found that, several years after deployment, deployed veterans report higher levels of respiratory symptoms and of self-reported respiratory illnesses than nondeployed troops. Of particular interest is the UK cohort study reported in Nisenbaum et al. (2004) and Unwin et al. (1999) which found substantially higher prevalences of respiratory symptoms and self-reports of respiratory disease among those deployed in the Gulf War than among those deployed in another war theater, Bosnia.
The study of Gulf War veterans of Cowan et al. (2002), which used objective exposure measure and methods, found associations between oil-well-fire smoke and doctor-assigned diagnosis of asthma in veterans. Limitations of the study include the lack of pulmonary function data and of specified criteria for the diagnosis of asthma and the self-selection into the DOD registry. Exposures were well estimated and high but brief, and the exposed population was healthier than in most studies of combustion products. At least aggravation of asthma appears biologically plausible as effect of this exposure, and causation of asthma less certain (the Cowan study did not include questions that would have enabled differentiation of aggravation from causation). The other key Gulf War study of oil-well-fire smoke, based on the Iowa cohort (Lange et al. 2002), which found no relationship between the same objective exposure and respiratory health outcomes, had the advantage of avoiding the potential selection biases of the Cowan et al. study. However, its definitions of respiratory diseases were based entirely on self-reports of symptoms and cannot be viewed as adequate. The study of Smith et al. (2002) found no significant associations between the same objective measures of exposure to smoke from oil-well fires and hospitalization for asthma, acute bronchitis, chronic bronchitis, or emphysema. Limitations of the study include the lack of information on tobacco-smoking, and that most adults in the study age range are seldom hospitalized for those diagnoses which imply that most cases would not be expected to be captured.
The study by Gray and collaborators (1999b) found a small increase in postwar hospitalization for respiratory system disease associated with modeled exposure to nerve agents at Khamisiyah. Limitations of the study include the likely exposure misclassification based on later revised DOD exposure estimates, lack of control for tobacco-smoking, lack of a clear dose-response pattern, and low biologic plausibility of effects on the respiratory system. Karlinsky et al. (2004) found no associations between pulmonary function measures and exposure to nerve agents at Khamisiyah based on the improved DOD exposure estimates developed in 2002; the lack of finding casts further doubt on the validity of the findings of the Gray et al. study.
In conclusion, as is the case for a number of other organ systems, respiratory symptoms and self-reported diseases are strongly associated with Gulf War deployment in most studies addressing this question and used comparison groups of nondeployed veterans. However, the findings of no statistical association of objective pulmonary function measures with Gulf War deployment, in the four cohorts in which this has been investigated, leaves the clinical interpretation of the increased symptoms and self-reported diseases uncertain.
With respect to associations of specific exposures in the Gulf War Theater with pulmonary outcomes, the positive study by Cowan et al. of objective measures of oil-well fire smoke and doctor-assigned respiratory diagnoses is methodologically the strongest to have

haha, some small town mayor seems to think its a good idea. What a bizarre article. http://www.thecarmachameleon.com/iraqcoach.html
Would a mod please move this to the political or general forum. You know what's going to happen real soon.
ohhhh so the War in Iraq is no more significant than a stupid football game? there are young soldies dying in Iraq and Falooojas. You people should be ashamed of thmeselves. We should hire bush for 4 more years. Go Republicans!
Yup, it didn't take long to draw the flys. Once one lands there will be more to follow unless this sucky thread is moved.
Yeah, I wondered that, especially when I read this line: "Outsmarting a bunch of people who don't even speak English is like fish in a barrel." Pot calls kettle black. :rofl:
On a very slightly related but not political note, I've always kinda dreamed that when young Johnathan is old enough to assume complete ownership duties, that perhaps the old man might consider seeing what he could do to fix the Bruins.
Here's what they wrote: "C'mon, the Patriots have one like what, three out of the last five Super Bowls? Outsmarting a bunch of people who don't even speak English is like fish in a barrel." It's quite possible that furriners can spell the word for "won" in their own language. Maybe it's difficult to outsmart them after all?
