Riots, encounters: Cong keeps heat on Modi

'Modi a blot on the nation'
Senior central and state Congress leaders attacked Chief Minister Narendra Modi and raked up topics the party has so far refrained from mentioning, including 2002's post Godhra riots and "fake encounters", while calling Modi a "blot on the nation", "zindagi ka saudagar" (merchant of people's lives) and "Vinash Purush" (man of destruction) at a rally in Viramgam, about an hour's drive from Ahmedabad city, on Sunday.
"Narendra Modi is not a merchant of death but a merchant of people's lives. The 2002 riots in the state happened by the order of the state government, it was something that had never happened in the country. He is a blot on the nation and if blot is good, as an advertisement says (daag achche hain), then it should be given an award. Modi should get 'Hitler Award' on Republic Day," said Rajya Sabha MP from Goa Shantaram Naik while addressing a gathering.
Naik also said the ancestors of BJP, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, killed Mahatma Gandhi and "it's sad that this party is running governments". While saying that Gujarat is being ruled by businessmen not by Narendra Modi but "Narendra Adani". He also said people are saying that Modi will become the Prime Minister, if it happens it will bring shame to the nation.
Rajya Sabha MP and former member of Planning Commission Dr Bhalchandra Mungekar said "it's unfortunate that a person like Modi is Chief Minister of Gujarat, the land of Mahatma Gandhi".
Playing the minority card, he said Modi's claim of development is a farce as there can't be progress in the state or the country if minority, especially Muslims, are excluded. Modi hasn't done anything for the community.
"As a member of Planning Commission I have seen how arrogant Modi is. During the National Development Council meetings, I have seen him treating representatives of other states as farm labourers," said Mungekar.

[QUOTE=superdeluxe;8827054]Details on Batmobile and Batsuit:
One edict - it will "definitely NOT have a military look like The Tumbler from Nolan's Dark Knight Trilogy". More likely it'll be some kind of streamlined concept car
This is one good bit of news; Nolan was so anti-superhero, that using the tumbler killed one of the mist distinctive elements of the Batman universe. I only hope the new Batmobile is not anything like the Hot Wheels/sandal strap/electric toy ray gun cars seen in those horrible Bat films of Tim Burton and others from that series.

tea tree for sore throats?
I've read that a tea tree solution can be gargled for sore throats, mouth sores etc. Has anyone tried this? I'd like to know what strength to use it, and also can I make it from the essential oil?
As far as I know, tea tree oil is not recommended for internal use. You'd be better off gargling with thyme tea which is a powerful antiseptic, disinfectant, antibacterial, anti this and that, or using lemon juice. If you can handle neat lemon juice, so much the better, but a lemon tea or lemonade will work a treat. It may sting, but it works. You can always add a little honey to it, which will also help the throat. Another excellent remedy for sore throat is the eat some well-beaten egg whites. My favourite treatment for sore throats and cold and flu symptoms is a mixture of equal quantities of honey, vinegar and lemon juice, taken in teaspoonfuls several times a day. The honey is soothing, the vinegar clears the sinuses and the lemon kills the bugs (that's keeping it simple).
Also check out the following thread on the same subject.
Here is a link that might be useful: help my throat
I would be careful with the raw egg whites due to e-coli concerns.
I gargled last week with a couple of drops of tea tree oil in water adn it was AWFUL! Yechh! Won't do it again.
If the throat is really bad, go to the Dr. it took antibiotics to clear mine up, and it was the worst I have ever experienced. Igave the herbal stuff a chance for almost a week with no luck and no relief.
In the past I have had good luck with Throat Coat tea made with slippery elm bark brewed with lemon and honey, but nothing was touching this particular bug.
I've gargled tea tree, too- in small doses (don't swallow!!) it is OK. Works OK, too. I second the vinegar idea (apple cider vinegar)... I've had really strange Curing experiences with vinegar (like, colds and sore throats disappear completely). Whether there's any proof or not that it actually works, it works for me. (Vinegar, you can swallow).
My mother's natural health recipe was to gargle with salt water.
Assuming you're in normal health, gargling with 2-5 drops of pure tea tree essential oil in a few ounces of water is very effective & should be fine unless you have a very sensitive mouth. You could add a drop of peppermint for flavor.
Try not to swallow but nothing much should happen if you accidentally do. Theoretically, it could burn but it certainly won't kill you.
I know it may be controversial, but either Dr. Christian Northrup or herbalist Rosemary Gladstar (I can't remember which right now) recommends occasional internal use of pure tea tree oil if you put a few drops in a vege or gelatin capsule to protect your stomach. (It works for some women -stopping yeast dead in its tracks.)
But if it's just a sore throat: propolis tincture, colloidal silver spray, hydrogen peroxide, or grapefruit seed extract in a bit of water works just as well in my experience.
I like Daisyduckworth's recipe. Me, I would eat a tbsp of lemon & honey w/ a dash of cayenne powder every couple hours too. Or mash a clove of garlic, mix it with honey and wash down with thyme tea (don't chew it or you'll reek of garlic). Also chew a sliver of ginger root (not the sugared kind) then hold it under the tongue for a few minutes if I you can stand it - it's a great source of zinc for the immune system.
Green blessings,
Michelle (bushpoet)
I love Tea Tree oil! I brush my teeth with it ... Why can't you gargle with it. It won't kill you...I promise! True it tastes nasty but works so well!!! Just don't go drinking the whole bottle kay! Lol!
Put 3 or 4 drops in some warm water and try it. I would. Kills bacteria and fungus on contact. I clean with it,put it on insect bites, hubby's nasty smelling itch feet,and have gargled with it with no ill effects!
i would not take tea tree internally, there are much safer and far more effective remedies; why not try an agrimony gargle, this should be a tincture of 10 ml to a glass of warm water. ladys mantle is astringent and anti inflamatory, take as with agrimony. echinacea and lythrum salitaria(loose strife) may also be gargled this way, they are also very effective, being antibacterial and regenerative...
good luck.
love ella:)
I am new, but saw this post and wanted to say I use TTO ( just a few drops with hot salty water to gargle as soon as a feel a "tinge" of a sore throat coming on, so far it has knocked it out every time. Just of course be prepared for one nasty taste, but it feels better right away. I will get some peppermint oil to have on hand for the nasty taste that is a good tip!
I have 'cured' many a sore throat with alphalfa pills. About 5 of the big ones. They taste terrible and they must be chewed, a LITTLE water helps to get them down, but I think the point was that they need to touch the area that is 'sore'. It was listed in an old healing book of alternatives about 30+ years ago. They recommended 10 pills to chew but they really taste terrible. It was recommended for strep throat, which is not something to mess around with, but I can't take antibiotics so this along with tictures of golden seal and echnicia were my options.
I use tea tree oil a lot. For sore throats, salt water does best immediately, but it does not last long. I get mouth sores and the only thing that works is tto.A few drops in 1/4 cup water and gargle and hold for as long as you can stand it. I don't swallow it but if some dribble down your throat, its OK. It works for me first time, every time.
I don't think it works for a sore throat, because I had a mouth sore, used it and my throat seemed sore, got sorer and developed into a cold. I did use tto several times and it had no beneficial effect on the sore throat.Good luck, Gloria
In my life experience, tea tree oil works the best. I have tried the salt and water, but it takes days (for that to work on me). However if you use tea tree oil the night you feel something coming on, the next morning you will feel like nothing was wrong in the first place. I also use a unorthodox way of using tea tree oil. I get a Q-tip and directly Insert it to the place of infection(whether it be the throat or the gums)

Thank you! Up in the nonexistent Manor attic, Big Gay Chris scries unsuccessfully for Snidely as the Dolt enters with the Psycho, whom he deposits in a playpen in the center of the room. Big Chris suggests the Dolt ask the other ever-useless Elders for their assistance, and is pleasantly surprised when the Dolt instantly shoots down that idea. "Trouble in paradise?" Chris smirks with a cocked brow. Sigh. Pretty! This leads to another brief discussion regarding the murky status of Piper and the Dolt's relationship. Big Manipulative Chris admits he'd simply "like to go back to a future where [his] parents are still together." The Dolt waffles a bit, but eventually counters, "It's just like I said when I was making the potion…" He trails off as he realizes that Snidely conspired to convince them the potion was useless. Therefore, it must really work, and they can send Big Chris back to the future right away. Chris -- ever the martyr, just like his mother -- nixes this plan, as with Snidely still on the loose, he's yet to accomplish what he came back to achieve: The Psycho's salvation. If I were Chris, I'd object to the plan because my stepping-off point would be this fucked-up shifted reality, and I'd likely end up in yet another parallel universe. But I think too much about these things, and besides, the point of this scene is to allow the guys enough blathering time to realize Snidely's been the Psycho's Big Bad all along. Or, you know, so they believe. I'm convinced the Psycho's been his very own Big Bad since day one, but these people never listen to me. In any event, what Chris can't understand is why Snidely turned the Psycho to The Dark Side if Snidely had always viewed the Psycho as a threat. Oh, Chris. Snidely didn't turn your brother to The Dark Side, because no one turned your brother to The Dark Side. Your brother's a creepy, emotionless freak, and will become evil no matter what you or your parents or your aunts try to do about it -- just as his Bizarro counterpart with the normal range of human emotions will become good no matter what his family does to prevent that from happening. Oy. That's all conjecture on my part, of course, but wouldn't it be interesting if it were true? A hell of a lot more interesting than this Demon Of The Week crap they've been pulling all season. Anyway, the Dolt supposes that, in Chris's original timeline, Snidely kidnapped the Psycho and basically tortured the tot trying to figure out a way to kill him. Therefore, Dark Side. No, Dolt. See above. Whatever. The Dolt promises to prevent all that from happening, for both his sons' sakes. The scene ends with a lovingly lingering close-up of my pretty husband's grateful expression, which only serves to make me that much more embittered regarding what happens to him later.
Snidely's study. "The Power of Four has worked before," Phoebe notes as she enters the chamber with Raige. Raige reminds Phoebe that they were all in the same universe at the time. It might be a bit more difficult to merge their powers now. The gals jaw their way through the room in search of whatever Snidely might have used to contact his evil twin until Phoebe notices the echo. She spots a fallen chess piece, crosses to slide open the arras, and finds Phauxhawk staring back at her through the mirror. The Raiges join them for a processing summit, during which the Bizarro Gals directly contradict Snidely's earlier assertion that "too much good [has corrupted their] world." Seems that folks on their side of the glass are having their limbs amputated for saying, "Gesundheit," not for saying, "Fuck you." So, either Snidely was lying to Barbas, or this show can't maintain continuity between scenes in a single episode, or the writers didn't think this concept through when they came up with this crap and thus have shattered the episode's interior logic. I don't care anymore. Long story short, the four realize they indeed cannot merge powers across the divide that exists between the two worlds, and so decide to cast spells on their respective Pipers to restore the Powers of Three. Once they've accomplished that, they'll reopen the portal, and Our Gals will give the Bizarro Gals a walking tour of the Bay Area until enough time has elapsed to shift the balance back where it belongs. Or something like that. Whatever.

Dude, where is my redo?
Posted by Riyaj Shamsudeen on June 12, 2013
This blog entry is to discuss a method to identify the objects inducing higher amount of redo. First,we will establish that redo size increased sharply and then identify the objects generating more redo. Unfortunately, redo size is not tracked at a segment level. However, you can make an educated guess using 'db block changes' statistics. But, you must use logminer utility to identify the objects generating more redo scientifically.
Detecting redo size increase
AWR tables (require Diagnostics license) can be accessed to identify the redo size increase. Following query spools the daily rate of redo size. You can easily open the output file redosize.lst in an Excel spreadsheet and graph the data to visualize the redo size change. Use pipe symbol as the delimiter while opening the file in excel spreadsheet.
spool redosize.lst REM You need Diagnostic Pack licence to execute this query! REM Author: Riyaj Shamsudeen col begin_interval_time format a30 set lines 160 pages 1000 col end_interval_time format a30 set colsep '|' alter session set nls_date_format='DD-MON-YYYY'; with redo_sz as ( SELECT sysst.snap_id, sysst.instance_number, begin_interval_time ,end_interval_time , startup_time, VALUE - lag (VALUE) OVER ( PARTITION BY startup_time, sysst.instance_number ORDER BY begin_interval_time, startup_time, sysst.instance_number) stat_value, EXTRACT (DAY FROM (end_interval_time-begin_interval_time))*24*60*60+ EXTRACT (HOUR FROM (end_interval_time-begin_interval_time))*60*60+ EXTRACT (MINUTE FROM (end_interval_time-begin_interval_time))*60+ EXTRACT (SECOND FROM (end_interval_time-begin_interval_time)) DELTA FROM sys.wrh$_sysstat sysst , DBA_HIST_SNAPSHOT snaps WHERE (sysst.dbid, sysst.stat_id) IN ( SELECT dbid, stat_id FROM sys.wrh$_stat_name WHERE stat_name='redo size' ) AND snaps.snap_id = sysst.snap_id AND snaps.dbid =sysst.dbid AND sysst.instance_number=snaps.instance_number and begin_interval_time > sysdate-90 ) select instance_number, to_date(to_char(begin_interval_time,'DD-MON-YYYY'),'DD-MON-YYYY') dt , sum(stat_value) redo1 from redo_sz group by instance_number, to_date(to_char(begin_interval_time,'DD-MON-YYYY'),'DD-MON-YYYY') order by instance_number, 2 / spool off
Visualizing the data will help you to quickly identify any pattern anomalies in redo generation. Here is an example graph created from the excel spreadsheet and see that redo size increased recently.

Reverse Path Filtering and RAC
Posted by Riyaj Shamsudeen on June 1, 2012
This is a quick note about reverse path filtering and impact of that feature to RAC. I encountered an interesting problem recently with a client and it is worth blogging about it, with a strong hope that it might help one of you in the future.
Environment is 126.96.36.199 GI, Linux 5.6. In a 3 node cluster, Grid Infrastructure (GI) comes up cleanly in just one node, but never comes up in other nodes. If we shutdown GI in first node, we can start the GI in second node with no issues. Meaning, GI can be up in just one node at any time.
System Admins indicated that there are no major changes, only few bug fixes. Seemingly, problem started after those bug fixes. But there were few other changes to the environment /init.ora parameter change etc. So, the problem was not immediately attributable to just OS changes.

All about RAC and MTU with a video
Posted by Riyaj Shamsudeen on May 22, 2012
Let's first discuss how RAC traffic works before continuing. Environment for the discussion is: 2 node cluster with 8K database block size, UDP protocol is used for cache fusion. (BTW, UDP and RDS protocols are supported in UNIX platform; whereas Windows uses TCP protocol).
UDP protocol, fragmentation, and assembly
UDP Protocol is an higher level protocol stack, and it is implemented over IP Protocol ( UDP/IP). Cache Fusion uses UDP protocol to send packets over the wire (Exadata uses RDS protocol though).
MTU defines the Maximum Transfer Unit of an IP packet. Let us consider an example of MTU set to 1500 in a network interface. One 8K block transfer can not be performed with just one IP packet as the IP packet size (1500 bytes) is less than 8K. So, one transfer of UDP packet of 8K size is fragmented to 6 IP packets and sent over the wire. In the receiving side, those 6 packets are reassembled to create one UDP buffer of size 8K. After the assembly, that UDP buffer is delivered to an UDP port of a UNIX process. Usually, a foreground process will listen on that port to receive the UDP buffer.

Posted by Riyaj Shamsudeen on April 29, 2012
We know that database blocks are transferred between the nodes through the interconnect, aka cache fusion traffic. Common misconception is that packet transfer size is always database block size for block transfer (Of course, messages are smaller in size). That's not entirely true. There is an optimization in the cache fusion code to reduce the packet size (and so reduces the bits transferred over the private network). Don't confuse this note with Jumbo frames and MTU size, this note is independent of MTU setting.
In a nutshell, if free space in a block exceeds a threshold (_gc_fusion_compression) then instead of sending the whole block, LMS sends a smaller packet, reducing private network traffic bits. Let me give an example to illustrate my point. Let's say that the database block size is 8192 and a block to be transferred is a recently NEWed block, say, with 4000 bytes of free space. Transfer of this block over the interconnect from one node to another node in the cluster will result in a packet size of ~4200 bytes. Transfer of bytes representing free space can be avoided completely, just a symbolic notation of free space begin offset and free space end offset is good enough to reconstruct the block in the receiving side without any loss of data.This optimization makes sense as there is no need to clog the network unnecessarily.

gc buffer busy acquire vs release
Posted by Riyaj Shamsudeen on April 19, 2012
Last week (March 2012), I was conducting Advanced RAC Training online. During the class, I was recreating a 'gc buffer busy' waits to explain the concepts and methods to troubleshoot the issue.
Let's define these events first. Event 'gc buffer busy' event means that a session is trying to access a buffer,but there is an open request for Global cache lock for that block already, and so, the session must wait for the GC lock request to complete before proceeding. This wait is instrumented as 'gc buffer busy' event.
From 11g onwards, this wait event is split in to 'gc buffer busy acquire' and 'gc buffer busy release'. An attendee asked me to show the differentiation between these two wait events. Fortunately, we had a problem with LGWR writes and we were able to inspect the waits with much clarity during the class.
Remember that Global cache enqueues are considered to be owned by an instance. From 11g onwards, gc buffer busy event differentiated between two cases:
- If existing GC open request originated from the local instance, then current session will wait for 'gc buffer busy acquire'. Essentially, current process is waiting for another process in the local instance to acquire GC lock, on behalf of the local instance. Once GC lock is acquired, current process can access that buffer without additional GC processing (if the lock is acquired in a compatible mode).
- If existing GC open request originated from a remote instance, then current session will wait for 'gc buffer busy release' event. In this case session is waiting for another remote session (hence another instance) to release the GC lock, so that local instance can acquire buffer.
Following output should show the differentiation with much clarity.

Animals in my attic????
I have recently checked for animals in my attic but because my house is a split level ranch I do not have access to my lower level attic. I saw no evidence of animals in the attic that I can access, but my wife says she hears running during the day from the lower attic. I have never heard anything. She thinks that it is squirrels in the attic, but since I know that the lower attic if filled with insulation (I did open up the ceiling when I bought the house last year to do add some lights,I suspect that you would not hear them running in the house but rather on the roof.
Does any one have an opinion?
I bet it's animals on the roof. It's amazing how the sound works---I remember hearing animals running and I swore they were directly above the ceiling, but nothing was found. I think the sound carries from the roof to the attic and for some reason, it resonates loudly. Can't be certain, but my guess is animals on the roof.
unless it is FILLED with spray foam insulation, they can and will still get in there and run around. seal up ALL holes larger than a dime. rodents have to chew to keep their front teeth from getting too long, and they love chewing wires. if you have any access at all, throw in soem mothballs or some d-con. then wait a week before sealing the holes.
You may think they are on the roof, but often they are in there. Yes, I recall my old house, where birds liked to roll in our gutters as a dust bath. We heard them clearly. We also heard running, acorns dropping, etc. These last were inside the roof, although at first we thought they were just on the surface of the roof. And, we had a bat that loved to spend the week in our lake cottage kitchen when we were away. Friday night, we had to get rid of the bat. This took us three weeks to solve, and that cottage was brand new, built by us.
On the current house, we had a squirrel's nest removed from inside the chimney enclosure. We had the house bat proofed. EVERY crack was sealed carefully. We put traps up in the rafters of the garage to catch the mice who want to come in for the winter.
Now we know what to listen for. Whenever we hear a sound up there, new traps get placed/replaced in the garage. A mouse is removed, and the sounds stop.
So, you may THINK they are running around on top of the roof, but animals like that cozy, warm, dry attic space, and they can squeeze through the smallest holes. Unfortunately, they also will pee in the attic, and they sometimes chew the insulation on wires. So you do need to keep them out.
Did you try lifting up some of the insulation? Sometimes animals in the attic will spend most of their time under the insulation and not on top of it. I have been in attics that were spotless and without a trace of droppings but when you listed up the insulation there were droppings everywhere.
Also if you're hearing noise during the day it will probably be either mice or gray squirrels. Gray squirrels need a hole about the size of a tennis ball to get in. Take a good look around your roof and roofline for a hole that size.
Good Luck

Wilhelm is the main antagonist of the Xenosaga series and the mysterious founder and CEO of the largest interplanetary conglomerate, Vector Industries. He also served as the Executive Committee Director of the Galaxy Federation, up to a decade ago.
He is a mysterious figure, who always seems to know everything as to what is going on, and one of the most suspicious characters in the Xenosaga series.
Wilhelm also has an affinity for referring to life's situations as if they were all a part of some universal theatrical play. Wilhelm is also an avid fan of chess, adding fuel to the dramatic approach of his manipulations. He also always listens to Wagner's music, which adding with his name and actions kind of give him the role of a young and immature Nietzsche. In addition, Nietzsche's middle name is Wilhelm.

The Massachusetts Attorney General is proposing to ban the sale of e-cigarettes to minors. There is currently a void in Massachusetts regulations that has led to a patchwork of local restrictions on the sale and use of the new product.
Attorney General Maura Healey Tuesday proposed regulations that would treat e-cigarettes like tobacco products, including banning sales to people under 18 years old, prohibiting free give-a-ways or sampling, require the products be kept behind store counters, and banning vending machine sales except in adults-only establishments.
New tobacco regulations aimed to curb youth smoking and reduce second-hand smoke in public areas went into effect today in the city of Pittsfield, Mass.
Albany County lawmakers voted 21-17 last night to become the first community in New York to block the sale of tobacco products in retail stores that contain licensed pharmacies. The ban would apply to all major pharmacy chains as well as other stores, like supermarkets, that contain pharmacies. Fines would start at $200 and go as high as $1,000 per violation. The legislation now heads to County Executive Dan McCoy's desk for his signature. However, a spokesperson for McCoy says he plans to review it and hold a public hearing.
The Albany Common Council could decide tonight to expand its smoking ban in city parks. If passed, the measure would carry a 50 dollar fine and go into effect immediately.
It is already against the law to smoke on playgrounds or ball-fields in the city. Back in 2012, the Albany Common Council approved a limited ban on smoking in areas of parks where children gather, including playgrounds, athletic fields and swimming pools.
A new law restricting smoking in Vermont went into effect Tuesday. Its provisions include banning smoking in cars when children under 8 are in the vehicle.
Vermont's top public health official is hopeful a series of new laws restricting smoking will encourage more people to quit.
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has signed legislation banning smoking at playgrounds.
In 2012 communities across Massachusetts have taken strides to limit tobacco use in public places and businesses. WAMC's Berkshire Bureau Chief Lucas Willard takes a look at what some communities are doing to reduce smoking, and what some hope to achieve in the new year…
The Cuomo administration is suspending its restrictions on smoking in parks, pools, beaches and historic sites after a smokers' rights groups objected. WAMC's Dave Lucas reports.
The administration says Tuesday the measures will be voluntary for at least two months while a full rule-making process including public comment is concluded.

Sparks: Issue 7, a vote for kidsWritten by Dean Sparks | | email@example.com
Elections are a time when you, as voters, get to say what is important to you.
Hopefully, the safety of Lucas County's children is important to you and you will make that commitment clear by voting for Issue 7 on Nov. 4.
Issue 7 is a 1.75-mill levy to support Lucas County Children Services (LCCS), the county agency responsible for protecting children from abuse or neglect. Of this levy, 1.4 mills is a renewal; the additional 0.35 mills will cost the owner of a $100,000 home only $12.25 a year — about the cost of a pizza.
Issue 7 really is a vote about kids — it's about the growing number of children we serve who are on the autism spectrum, or who have developmental disabilities or serious mental health or behavioral issues and need services from our agency to keep them safe.
It's also about finding safe homes for children who are victims of the well-documented heroin epidemic in our community, including newborns who were born drug exposed.
Issue 7 is also about providing services to the 100 or so teen victims of human trafficking in Lucas County, deemed the fourth-largest center for human trafficking in the nation. New state legislation — which we support — placed the responsibility for minor victims of human trafficking into the hands of agencies like LCCS.
Finally, Issue 7 is about providing services to parents to help them recover from the problems in their lives so they can safely raise their own children. The families we work with overcome substance abuse, domestic violence, mental and physical health problems, unstable housing and other issues.
LCCS has responded to the tight economy by slashing more than $6 million from its budget and leaving 50 positions unfilled. The agency has reduced and, in some cases, eliminated contracts and services. Without the additional funds that Issue 7 provides, the agency will need to cut an additional $1.8 million from its 2015 budget, potentially putting children and families at risk.
At the same time, funding at the federal, state and local levels has declined. The federal government has slashed critical funding for child welfare. The State of Ohio has been ranked last in the nation in its support of child welfare. Even the income from the agency's tax levies is down as a result of the 20 percent decline in local property values. Due to the way child welfare is funded, the less our agency spends in local dollars the less it receives in federal reimbursements, cutting our budget even further.
Despite these cutbacks, LCCS has continued to excel, maintaining accreditation by the Council on Accreditation, adding programs to help parents more successfully reunify with their children, and finding adoptive families for more children than any other county in Ohio. More youth emancipating from foster care complete their education and move on to productive lives.
We recognize that Lucas County has only recently begun to turn the corner economically, and social issues continue to plague many residents and neighborhoods. However, our agency's mandate is to protect children from abuse or neglect. We are not in a position in which we can simply not respond. We are deeply concerned that our resources will soon be stretched so thin that children will be at risk. You have come to expect more, and our county's children deserve more.
Lucas County Children Services is, and will continue to be, transparent in its service to the community and our 350 employees are committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of the county's most vulnerable citizens. We ask for your vote for Issue 7 on Nov. 4.
Dean Sparks is executive director of Lucas County Children Services.

These hot dogs will bring a smile to your child's face.
Heat oven to 350°F. Lightly spray baking sheet with no-stick cooking spray; set aside.
Separate breadsticks at perforations to form 12 strips. Wrap 1 strip around each hot dog. Place hot dogs onto prepared baking sheet so that ends of breadsticks are under hot dogs.
Cut 1/4 inch piece of dough off each of the remaining 6 strips; reserve for feelers. Cut each strip in half crosswise; cut each in half again lengthwise. (You now have 24 pieces of dough.) Gently stretch each piece to 5 inches. Using 4 (5-inch) strips for each hot dog, form 2 loops on each side of hot dog to resemble butterfly wings.
Divide each piece of reserved dough in half; form into a feeler. Attach 2 feelers to underside of breadsticks at one end of each hot dog-butterfly.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until light golden brown. Remove to cooling rack. Garnish as desired to decorate hot dogs to resemble butterflies.

Mint isn't a traditional Irish flavor, but the color of the green mint mousse in this tart lends itself so well to St. Patrick's Day celebrations, I had to tie them together somehow! The Mint White Chocolate Tart takes a little bit of effort to make with its multiple steps, but the end result is fluffy, subtly sweet and has a perfect hint of mint.
Bring the bold flavors of
ginger and sesame to a
variety of meals.
Eggs Benedict, like this Cheesy Eggs Benedict, is the quintessential brunch dish, but it sure can be challenging to serve to a crowd with so many last-minute elements – toasting English muffins, poaching eggs and making hollandaise sauce. Of course, it can be made easier by toasting all the muffins on a sheet in the oven, and by poaching your eggs the day before your brunch. More ...

I'll be spending this week playing catch up, but there's no dearth of new releases. Killer is Dead is tempting me, because bloody hell it looks flashy, but I'll probably leave until I'm not drowning in games. Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn is notable too, if only because it was originally a shockingly poor MMO and had to be entirely rebuilt. I've not been impressed with the results, and found myself sick of it after a weekend. Others seem to be getting more out of it, however.
Also on the docket this week, we've got Lost Planet 3, which is nice if you're sick of the summer heat; Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons comes to the PC, which pleases me greatly; and some burly American fellows kick a ball around in Madden NFL 25. There's more too, but you'll have to scroll down for that.

Super Mario Crossover, the pixel-for-pixel recreation of Super Mario Bros. that features a selectable cast of NES stars, was all set for the big 3.0 update this past June. It was unfortunately delayed a month, but it is now available for your pleasure. Head on down to developer Exploding Rabbit's site to give the new revision a spin.
New to 3.0 are the levels from Super Mario Bros. Special, a Japan-only port / remake for the NEC PC-8801 and Sharp X1; a difficulty system that drastically alters level layouts; and more skins for levels and characters to make them look like various other games on the NES, SNES, Game Boy, and so on. More tweaks and skins are planned for the future, but this is likely the last big update.
Exploding Rabbit is now hard at work on Super Retro Squad, which follows the style of Super Mario Crossover only with original characters and levels. While originally looking like an NES game, the graphics have been beefed up to a more detailed 16-bit style, though it looks like there may still be skins to "downgrade" the look to 8-bit and handheld styles. The game will also feature four-player online and local co-op. You can check the new screens below.

In an unexpected surprise here at Comic Con, Konami showed off an extensive hands-off gameplay walkthrough detailing more of the game's systems, music, and environs. The demo took place a brief time after the events seen in the E3 demo, after Dracula has awoken from his thousand-year slumber and is exploring his castle in an effort to reclaim his lost power.
There are more reasons than ever to be excited about this game, so find out what it was all about below.

|Jayson Napolitano
I'll be the first one to proclaim my love for the classic Castlevania franchise, and while Lords of Shadow was considered by many to be a great game, I found myself wishing that more of a bone had been tossed to series fans. After playing Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 on the floor here at E3, however, there isn't a single title that has me more intrigued and wanting more.
It feels like a perfect storm in terms of story, visuals, gameplay, and music.
That Lords of Shadow 2 trailer? The one with Sir Patrick Stewart? T'was but a farce. Here is the real trailer. And look! Mega64 managed to worm their way into the game! I don't think there has ever been a more sensual depiction of a vampire in a work of fiction than Rocco Botte's Dracula. Up yours, Twilight!

DevOps changes corporate culture for the better, study suggests
Survey of 9,200 IT professionals finds direct correlation between DevOps adoption and business success.
Service technology -- from SOA to cloud to IT service management -- promises many "-ilities": greater agility, flexibility, and reusability. Joe McKendrick explores the challenges and opportunities.
Joe McKendrick is an author and independent analyst who tracks the impact of information technology on management and markets. Joe is co-author, along with 16 leading industry leaders and thinkers, of the SOA Manifesto, which outlines the values and guiding principles of service orientation. He speaks frequently on cloud, SOA, data, and enterprise computing topics at industry events and Webcasts. As an independent analyst, he has authored numerous research reports in partnership with Unisphere Research, a division of Information Today, Inc. for user groups such as SHARE, Oracle Applications Users Group, and International DB2 Users Group. He is also independent analyst for GigaOm Pro. In a previous life, Joe served as director of the Administrative Management Society (AMS), an international professional association dedicated to advancing knowledge within the IT and business management fields. He is a graduate of Temple University.

APIs may be delivering an incredible array of business services. But in the end, they are another tool in an ongoing evolution.
Why it doesn't pay to be too Silicon Valley-ish.

Enter the era of IT service broker, whose role is to 'integrate internal and external services together to form composite services.'

Troubleshoot landscape lighting short
I've had outside landscape lighting for several years without problems. However, I hired a person to spread mulch this year and they left mulch piled on the lights, resulting in a fire. I lost several of my lights as well as plants. I had someone come in and replace the lights and wires. The transformer is plugged into an outside electrical outlet which runs from a gfi outlet in the garage. When I plug in the transformer, the gfi trips; sometimes this takes awhile and sometimes it is immediate.
Now, my question: how do I trace where the problem is...the wiring or the transformer?
I know it is not the gfi because I've plugged the transformer into two gfi's with the same result.
Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks much.
Most likely the connector(s) and/ or wiring is at fault. Check the connections at the lights first to see if there are any exposed bare wires or if the incorrect wire connectors were used.
If there is no problem with any of the connections, the next step is figuring which section of the wire has been compromised with an ohmmeter (circuit assumed unplugged).

This workshop introduces a new photography medium where the photographer captures images using the camera built into the Apple iPhone (including iPod Touch and iPad), and Android devices. Students will learn how to capture and process incredible, high-quality still images. While the capabilities of an iphone are limited, you'll be surprised at the amount of robust processing power that is in this small instrument. Students will learn how to apply the classic photographic principles of exposure, light and composition: elements that are important to any good photograph. After the shoot, you will learn how to process your images using select photo editing apps. Via numerous examples, photo assignments, field trips, and in-class critiques, you will be inspired to use this dynamic, new medium on a daily basis. This course is open to beginners as well as experienced photographers.
