It would help if being against everything suggested by Obama wasn't GOP policy.

Good riddance.
The bottom one looks a bit like my own brain. Full disclosure: I have autism spectrum disorder, so my corpus callosum is a bit sparse.
Great point about the effect of the presidency. I wonder how far back they could go with the data. If they could generate enough of these they could group them by presidents and their margins of victory, total number of bills passed, margin of control of either branch of government, gdp growth, etc.
I think the big picture would still favor the hypothesis that there is growing polarization with the passage of time but it would still be interesting to look at what other factors have been associated with more and less divided Congresses.
Don't jump to unscientific conclusions here based upon this data rendering. Voting patterns could reflect a number of things that this rendering does not consider.
One consideration should easily be the leanings of the Office of the President. A moderate president with a balanced agenda might receive policies to sign which might appeal to a broader spectrum of Senator. By contrast, a ironclad leftist socialist president might actually not only divide the Senate but the Country.
The rendering is interesting but it is not science.

Long John Silver's Throws Trans Fats Overboard
Originally published on Wed January 22, 2014 4:22 pm
Long John Silver's has gained some notoriety in the past for serving up what the food police dubbed the most unhealthful meal in America. (aka heart attack on a hook.)
But the fast-food chain is out to change its reputation. One step in this new direction: a quick transition from partially hydrogenated oils that contain bedeviled trans fats. Today, the chain announced it is moving to a 100 percent soybean oil that is trans-fat free.
"It's great news and a big step on their journey to revitalize the brand overall," Gary Gerdemann, a PR man who is working on behalf of the food chain to promote the announcement, told us in an email.
"We are very pleased to improve the health profile of our entire menu and transition all of our fried products to trans-fat-free soybean oil," Mike Kern, Long John Silver's chief executive officer, said in a news release.
"Whether choosing delicious baked or our classic batter-dipped fried fish, our guests can order with the confidence that their food has zero grams of trans fat," Kern continued.
So, will consumers notice a difference in taste? Likely not, says Gary Gerdemann. "We've been converted now fully since the end of the year," he said, adding, "The vast majority of our guests do not notice a change."
The menu changes earned praise from the Center for Science in the Public Interest — a nutrition and health policy watchdog group that last year gave Long John Silver's the dubious distinction of having the "worst restaurant meal in America."
In a news release, CSPI's executive director, Michael F. Jacobson, said, "We were glad to work collaboratively with Long John Silver's leadership team and are pleased that the company achieved its ambitious goal in six months' time."
CSPI says the FDA can now take note of how much time it should take other food manufacturers and restaurants to make the change to eliminate trans fat.
As we reported last year, the FDA has already paved the way for all food manufacturers to phase out trans fats from the food supply. That's because the fat has the dubious distinction of wrenching our cardiovascular systems by simultaneously raising bad cholesterol (LDL) and lowering good cholesterol (HDL).
Yikes — good riddance!

What did I do today that I regret or need to undo? As long as I can keep the regrets and re-doing to the bare minimum, the world could end in the next 15 minutes and I will be at ease with myself. I'll miss the Raspberries and Black Currants I put in last spring and it's hard to take the predictions of a lost civilization or the musings of some dead white guy with more than a grain of salt but for those in need of superficial conversation starters........ We'll all be done here soon enough and for a lot of folks there will be relief in that exit. I remember be forced to read 1984, some years before I graduated high school in 1981. If Jim Jones couldn't get us to go to Guyana, there was always David Koresh or hitching a ride on Hale-Bopp. Then there was Y2K. Wasn't that a hoot? Next week I am going to start selling products that will ensure survival against the end of civilization as we know it. Mayan Pet Rock Mood Pendants, the Guide To Nostradon'tknoweverything and my personal favorite, Erin Go Wicky-Wicky This Way And The Wacky Wiccan (Druid outfits, coconut half-shells, grass skirts and bonfire materials sold separately) will be on sale at Bambergers and other fine stores. If I don't survive the end of the world, at least I may go in luxury and not end up getting sued.

I watched Mel Gibson's 'Apocalypto' last night, and in having done so, have now decided that blue is no longer my favorite color.

"Located well but the food is bit expensive"
- Posted 4 weeks ago
We visited Puri from 4th February 2015 for 2 days and stayed at this hotel. We had booked our stay well in advance, and on arrival we were given the very room (sea facing) we had asked for. The best thing about this hotel is its location, right on the beach. Food is okay but a bit expensive as compared to the eating places nearby on the beach road.More » « Less

"Good hotel right on the beach"
- Posted 2 months ago
This hotel is very good for money. We stayed in the hotel in May 2014 with a group friends and occupied 3 double rooms. Hotel is right on the beach. From our room's balcony the see looks fabulous. From the room next to ours my friends could see the sea from their bed.More » « Less
Rooms are pretty clean. Toilet is specious with water closet and shower. Two clean towels are provided for each room. But no other consumables except small soap are provided.
The room service is good but could be even better. The restaurant of the hotel provides vary good Bengali preparations. You are to order the food at least 3 hours before the meal. Some selected continental or other kind of food can also be ordered before hand.
Behaviour of the front desk people are reasonably OK not great, not bad.
This is a hotel for the middle class people. Those who look for four star luxury, this may not be suitable for them. I stayed in Puri many a times, though stayed in this hotel for the first time. My experience in this hotel was very pleasant.
Overall, this hotel is very good value for money.

A hotel which provides a good view of beach and the temple. It is located on the VIP road and you an afford to be on the beach late in the night. There are rooms which have balcony facing the beach. Request for that during your stay. Food is delicious and the hotel has a private lawn. Very comfortable stay for the family.More » « Less

"Marvellous infrastructure with super deluxe rooms"
- Posted Nov 21, 2014
We have visit Puri in the Month of January'2014 and stayed in Victoria Club Hotel.More » « Less
The location of the hotel is excellent, you can watch the waves coming one after another from your balcony. We have stayed in the Super Deluxe Building in 2nd Floor, from where the view of the Beach is excellent.
In Super Deluxe rooms, you get personal balcony which is a price worthy. The amenities like LED TV, 24hrs running hot water, furnished bathrooms, sofas in room makes you feel like home.
The room service is also excellent, no question on that. Food is delicious and mouth watering but little expensive.
The infrastructure is marvellous and big lawn area for kids to play and parking facility is also available. The Infrastructure is so good that you feel like you are staying in a Palace.
One things which the Hotel need to develop is the Online Booking Facilities, as we have to book the rooms by depositing Cash in their Axis Bank Account, and the receipt you need to scan and mail to the manager, after that only you will get the confirmation of the booking.
My advice to travellers that Victoria Club Hotel is good place to stay for Couples as well as Family also.

"Standard services; delicious food"
- Posted Oct 19, 2014
It was summer holiday when I visited Puri, Odisha. I travelled the favourite resorts in Puri several times but Victoria was one of the best amongst all of them. It was just awesome. The services of the Hotel were up to the standard. The food and beverage and cold drinks and all of the cuisines was with a new style and taste with a crispy and most likely texture. When it comes to the hotel accommodation and beach view, it comes to the first position. The beach is very nearby and front of the balcony of every rooms and verandas of the hotel. Even I have taken pictures of waves coming out there with a silly cool wind. Overall, it was a great experience to stay there for a couple of days.More » « Less

Oracle's Java Policies Are Destroying the Community 314
from the shares-in-haskell-inc-up-ten-points dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
And LibreOffice is working on reimplementing many of those features without Java.
They released version 3.4.2 three days ago [documentfoundation.org]. As I understand it they're mostly working on bug fixes for now--lord knows they need it--and removing as much Java dependence as possible.
Apache did, in fact they reported the trouble five days before the deadline. This was a show stopper, Oracle did not treat it as such, Oracle has a habit of this. What they should have done (keeping in mind how they treat bugs) is released on schedule but with the option disabled. But no this would have been too much of a performance regression, again Oracle has made crazy decisions in the past where they value perceived performance in some benchmark above all other sane reasoning. But really they could have in this case, then around the second or third update have this fixed and it would have been another great release all about improved performance. That would look pretty dang good in comparison to the current situation. It is just that there is clearly some disease that has spread at Oracle, and they can't think things through clearly enough when there is a deadline or benchmark involved.
The major difference between bonds and bond traders is that the bonds will eventually mature.

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
03 Nov 2012 17:10 GMT | Politics, Middle East, Israel
The leader of the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip has criticised the Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas for comments he made to Israeli media, saying that they contradict long-held Palestinian territorial demands.
Abbas made the rare if symbolic concession to Israel on Thursday, saying he had no permanent claim on the town from which he was driven as a child during the 1948 war of the Jewish state's founding.
Ismail Haniyeh said on Friday that Abbas' remarks on the right of return for Palestinian refugees, aired on Israel's Channel 2, were "extremely dangerous".
In his comments, Abbas said: "Palestine now for me is [19]67 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital ... This is now and forever, this is Palestine for me.
I am a refugee but living in Ramallah. I believe that West Bank and Gaza is Palestine. The rest is Israel."
The president said that while he would like to see his birthplace - Safed, now a town in northern Israel - he does not want to live there.
"I want to see Safed. It is my right to see it but not to live there," he said.
The remarks came ahead of a UN bid that would see Palestinians gain partial statehood recognition in the occupied Palestinian territories.
The comments appear to have been meant to mollify Israel that Palestinians did not lay claim to lands taken for Israel in 1948, nor seek to run them over demographically.
Palestinians hope the vote will force Israel to withdraw from its current positions to lines it held before the 1967 war or face international legal action.
Live Box 201259843999621
Israel says negotiations alone will fix borders between it and any future Palestine.
But Abbas' comments backfired among some of his people as he touched on one of the most sensitive issues at the heart of Israel-Palestinian conflict: the fate of refugees who fled, or were forced to flee their homes, in the fighting surrounding Israel's creation in 1948.
They and their descendants now number more than five million.
Linah Alsaafin, a Ramallah-based activist, told Al Jazeera that Abbas' statements "prove that he has lost touch with the Palestinian people".
"Considering his presidential term is expired since 2009, he really doesn't have the legitimacy to act in the name of the Palestinians and come out with such outlandish statements."
"Abbas has succeeded in uniting the Palestinian people against his words, they are united in disgust and protest," Alsaafin said.
Others defended Abbas, saying the issue was a propaganda attack against the Palestinian leader.
"Why has everyone forgotten about his statements at the UN when he said; "I'm from the city of Safed and my family has the right to return there," a soldier in the Palestinian Authority security forces told Al Jazeera on condition of anonymity.
"Also, his words were twisted by Israeli television ... Why should we believe the Israeli media more than we trust our own leaders?" the soldier added.
'Never give up'
Gaza's Hamas movement, alongside many other Palestinians, said Abbas' remarks suggested millions of refugees and their descendants would not return to the places they fled in wars with Israel.
"It is not possible for any person, regardless of who he is, a person, a president, government, or authority, to give up on Palestinian land or to give up the right of return to our homes that we were forced out from," Haniyeh said.
Palestinians who spoke to AP Television on Friday also agreed that no refugee will give up on their homeland.
"Anyone who was forced out of his land in [19]48 will never give up his land," Hisham Farraj, who lives in the Al-Jalazon refugee camp, said.
The refugee issue has been a big obstacle in peace talks. Israel says their entry would be demographic suicide and expects refugees to be taken in by a future Palestinian state.

With the apocalypse being so hot right now, filmmakers are in a frenzy to capitalize on the doomsday craze. From Hollywood tentpoles like the summer's upcoming World War Z and This is the End to smaller dramas like Melancholia and Seeking a Friend for the End of the World, there's been a wide range of projects taking on a variety of different concepts and the latest comes in the form of the black comedy It's a Disaster.
After a festival run last year, Todd Berger's latest film will be getting a release soon from Oscilloscope Laboratories and the first trailer has landed today. Following a group of friends, some new couples and some on the verge of divorce, who attend a brunch that soon comes with a surprise, it looks like a dry, funny effort. Check out the poster and trailer below (via /Film) for the film starring Rachel Boston, Kevin M. Brennan, David Cross, America Ferrera, Jeff Grace, Erinn Hayes, Blaise Miller, Julia Stiles, Jesse Draper, Laura Adkin and Rob McGillivray.
Eight friends meet for their monthly "couples brunch." But what starts as an impromptu therapy session / airing of domestic grievances takes a sudden, catastrophic turn when the city falls victim to a mysterious attack. Trapped in the house and unsure of their fates, these seemingly normal people become increasingly unhinged to hilarious, surprising, and revealing results.
It's a Disaster hits theaters on April 12th after a March 5th VOD debut.
Every week we dive into the cream of the crop when it comes to home releases, including Blu-ray and DVDs, as well as recommended deals of the week. Check out our rundown below and return every Tuesday for the best (or most interesting) films one can take home. Note that if you're looking to support […]

Blame Americans First
Poor David Brooks. Remaking the Middle East is not turning out as easily as he had hoped. Today in his column, as last night on the Lehrer NewsHour, he blasts away at the "mass hysteria" that has erupted in the U.S. in response to news of the UAE ports deal. His notions of national greatness apparently never had a chance so long as a "reactionary" ("Whatever. You use the word. I won't use the word," Lehrer responded) like Michael Savage had any say. But here's the giveaway quote:
"[T]he point for politicians is at some point you have to be a statesman, you have got to resist when you get this popular tide and nobody on Capitol Hill is doing, that except John McCain."
"Except John McCain," Lehrer echoed. (Sigh.)
Actually, there was an earlier giveaway quote, in which Brooks began with a wonderful geographic name drop, "I just came back from Doha where you came across --" At which point Lehrer had him identify Doha as being in Qatar, right next to Dubai. Brooks then continued:

HP, short for horsepower, represent how much power a device is capable of putting out. Kilo-volt-amps, abbreviated kVA, measures the apparent power of a circuit and is found by multiplying the voltage times the current in a circuit. In order to convert from the HP capacity of a device to the number of kVA used, you need to know the capacity and the efficiency of the device.
Items you will need
- Calculator
Multiply the amount of HP by 746. For example, if you have 100 HP, you would multiply 100 by 746 to get 74,600.
Multiply the result from Step1 by the efficiency of the device to calculate the number of volt-amps used. For example, if the device is 90 percent efficient, you would multiply 74,600 by 0.9 to get 67,140.
Divide the number of volt-amps used by 1,000 to convert from volt-amps to kilo-volt-amps (kVA). Finishing the example, you would divide 67,140 by 1,000 to get 67.14 kVA.

Ground cover for very large area
If anyone feels up to it, I'm looking for some ground cover suggestions. My requirements are pretty extreme, so I wouldn't be surprised if there's nothing to match them, but here they are anyway:
- Cover a large field (3 to 4 acres)
- Aggressive growth to choke out grass and weeds
- Evergreen
- Full sun
- Drought resistant
- Zone 8a
- Max height of 1 to 2 ft
- low maintenance
The idea is to keep the property from becoming an unmanageable burden as my parents age, so the appearance doesn't matter as long as it stays short.
I'm sure a similar question has been answered before, but I don't know enough about gardening to find it.
Thank you!
unfortunately, this isn't drought tolerant but gonna share it anyway, since I was about to post a question about it. Sounded really sturdy. Check it out. Called white cupflower.
I found a link in my search for ground covers. Jeepers Creepers website. unsure of the reliability but this site has a lot of covers. I suggest you do research regarding invasiveness and other factors.
Here is a link that might be useful: plants that you can walk on

I really enjoyed my time with Kat'a and Thomas. They are both lovely people and always willing to help if you have any questions. The room is everything as described. It's nice and spacious and it has a good Wi-Fi connection.
The place itself is in a quiet neighborhood a little bit away from the centre, but it's still very easy to get there by tram. There's also a supermarket really close by and lots of places where you can eat. I would definitely recommend this place for anyone visiting Prague. Thanks very much Kat'a and Thomas :)
What an amazing experience - Kata and her boyfriend Thomas were the two best hosts you ever can think of - the room is big, and with big windows and a nice view - The Flat is located in very beautiful green area and with a lot of really good places to eat.
Everything you need for a pleasant stay in Beautiful Prague is in the apartment, and you will be nicely greeted by two very lovely people. I can for sure recommend this place for any one going to Prague for three reasons :
1 the room and the flat is perfect in size and light
2 the area were Kata and Thomas live is easy to get to by tram, and is located in a beautiful green area, with a lot of good places to eat
3 Kata and Thomas are some of the nicest people I have ever meet - I am sure they will do what they can to help you have a pleasant stay in Prague.
Well recommended :)
We got a friendly welcome from the host, Tomas. Unfortunately we did not meet Kata. The guest room is nicely decorated, clean and more than big enough for 2 people.
We were welcome to use the kitchen, however as there were always dishes in the sink it was even difficult to fill up the kettle to make a pot of tea. A crowded kitchen is not a welcoming place where you feel at ease. The trash can was already full when we got there, and was only emptied 3 days later.
The bathroom was clean, but no space to hang towels or put any of our items. It was not that welcoming to use the bathtub as there is no shower curtain to take a shower, little space to take a bath in a comfortable way with 38 (!) of their own bottles standing around the whole edge of the bathtub. There was also water bubbling up from the bath drain, even when the bath had not been used. So all in all the bathtub area was not welcoming.
The building is not very well sound isolated, so you hear the noise from the street and the tramline, as well as the neighbours all hours of the day.
The location is near a tram stop, but we walked from the apartment to all major sight-seeing sites.
If you are looking for a basic accommodation for 1 night you can consider this listing, otherwise I would recommend to find another place to stay.
My boyfriend and I had a pleasant stay at Kata's place. We got into the city much later than planned and they were nice enough to meet us at the tram stop. The room was as pictured, quite large, bright and clean. However the room was farther to both the city centre and the castle than described (10+ minutes by tram to the castle, 25 minutes to the old town/city centre). My only other issue would be the lack of a fixed shower head (you have to sit down and hold the sprayer), which makes it difficult if you have a lot of hair to wash like me. Still a good value & overall experience though!
Ich bin sehr freundlich empfangen wurden, ich kann das Zimmer nur weiter empfelen !!
Simple, but clean and spacious room. Fast internet connection. Comfortable mattress. Quite street. 15 minutes tram ride to the city center. Absolutely charming hosts. :) Thus, very pleasant experience overall. Thank you, Thomas and Kata!
Thank you for a very pleasant stay, Highly recommended! I really enjoyed talking to Tomas about how the Czech Republic and Prague have changed in the last 10 years.....A+++++
We had a short stay at kat'a place but it was a very nice place to stay at, close to the city and the room was nice and clean.... I would recommend this place to anyone. thanks kat'a
Though I didn't meet Kat'a personally, her boyfriend Tomas was really helpful and friendly. He met us at the tram stop close to the apartment and showed us in. The apartment is located in a very nice neighbourhood with easy access to the centre of Prague by tram. There is also a pharmacy, and grocery store within a couple minutes on foot. Kat'a was also very helpful with her directions on how to reach her place.
Kat'a's place was perfect for our short stay in Prague, and very conveniently located near many bus lines to/from the airport and into the city. If you are staying in Prague, I wholeheartedly recommend staying at Kat'a's place!
Wery sweat and polite young people. They are welcome any time in my room. I can't find anything bad to say about them only good things.

Numecent believe Cloudpaging has the potential to impact all connected devices where software needs to be delivered rapidly and securely.

News: VMware Blows Away the Image – Launches vFabric Application Director
• • 1 Comment
With vFabric Application Director, vFabric AppInsight and the rest of the vFabric product line we are seeing VMware's application level strategy come to life. It is clear that VMware is making an enormous and strategic investment on this front, probably second only in priority to the continued investment in vSphere's domination of data center virtualization. The combination of vFabric and vSphere also brings into clear focus the fullness of the VMware software stack, and the degree to which VMware seriously threatens established OS vendors like Microsoft and Red Hat.

Will Microsoft Drive a Wedge Between VMware and EMC with Windows Server 8 and Hyper-V 3?

Windows Server 8 and Hyper-V 3 may blow up the entire rationale for EMC owning VMware. Cheap storage for virtualization enabled by new Microsoft features will force VMware to embrace cheap storage as well. This will precipitate the commoditization of the storage market, and accelerate the pace of virtualization and cloud computing.

Virtualization Field Day Delegates Discuss Cloud Security and Compliance
• • 0 Comments
The Virtualization Field Day delegates joined the Virtualization Security Podcast as guest panelists on 2/23 and the topic of the day was cloud security. There were questions about compliance, security of the tenant, and security of the administrators, and legal issues. There were answers from Rodney Haywood (Rodos), another Virtualization Field Day Delegate and cloud architect as well as the podcast standard panelists. So what did the questions boil down to?
OnLive Desktop is on the verge of making a game-changing move in the VDI space delivering the hope of a service that a CFO would bite your hand off for. OnLive's delivery capability is a wakeup call to the ISVs and SPs who are trying to penetrate this market. With the license battle is about to ensue, Microsoft has the heads up display and is the one holding the shotgun, perhaps OnLive can finally convince Redmond that its always more fun in multiplayer mode.
During a briefing of Quest's new data protection announcements I started to think about the future of data protection. Quest recently announced that NetVault will now work with Exagrid devices and that there is now a Capacity Edition targeting SMBs and SMEs. These changes add some more capabilities to an existing product suite. While, these announcements do not necessarily merge with virtualization backup, the combination of Quest's tools and partnerships do form an impressive view of the future with respect to Data Protection.

Centrix Software update Workspace Manager and Universal – better enabling desktop transformation
• • 1 Comment
New application delivery options bring great opportunities for organizations to drive more operational and service efficiency but require new management approaches to traditional desktop provisioning. The release of WorkSpace Universal 5.3 brings two core features for supporting the compliant use of software-as-a-service applications and dynamic application provisioning in private cloud environments – Cloud pass-through authentication and Content launch policy control.
While participating in the GestaltIT Virtualization Field Day #2, I was asking PureStorage on whether or not SSD based storage was throwing hardware at a problem that is better fixed, by changing the code in question? What brought this thought to mind was the example used during the presentation which was about database performance. This example, tied to a current consulting problem, where fixing the database improved performance by 10x. This alleviated the need for over all storage improvements. So the question remains, is using SSD, throwing hardware to solve a basic coding problem?

This product is ridiculously undersized. I bought a women's Large for my wife, and it wasn't even close. I doubt that an XL would work either, it was THAT small and is more like a Medium or worse. I always buy Large for her when buying tops or sports tees. It stinks that you have to then pay $5.50 extra if you do want an exchange. In this case, I won't take that chance & will just return it.

Best flooring choice for Basement prone to flooding?
After yesterdays powerful storm & much water pumped out of our basement, we decided berber carpet might not be the best choice for flooring in a basement that gets water at least once every few years. We have vinyl tiles in part of the basement, even that is scaring me that we may have mold living under the tiles. We've scrubbed them down with Clorox hoping that will kill some of the mold spores.
What type of flooring would you recommend for a finished basement that does get occasional flooding? We're in Pennsylvania.
Vinyl flooring probably isn't a great choice because water could lift them. I would think something like ceramic tile would be more appropriate. It would be cold, but you could have area rugs and carpet remnants over top. I would be really worried about mold and mildew inside the walls of a basement that has flooded even once.
Are you in the northern tier of PA? I am in the southern tier of NY and got water in from this storm as well. It didn't seem like THAT much rain but in the water came.
See my other thread to see an idea I had for a raised floor.
We're in SE PA, right outside of Philadelphia. I think the rain just came down so fast, there was no place for the water to go. I'll have to check out your thread because I'm up for any idea that would keep my basement dry at this point.
Grayce, you're right. Mold is definitely a big concern, especially when I have bad asthma........
We live in Virginia, and our basement used to get a significant amount of water in heavy rains. If I were you, before I spent a dime on flooring or anything else down there, I would find out definitively where the water is coming from, and how it is getting in, and then fix it. The prospect is scary, and can be expensive, but the potential for mold and mildew that you can't see, and for structural damage to your foundation from water piling up against the wall, or standing in the wall, even when it doesn't flood, is scarier. We took off some cheesy masonite paneling and discovered that the insulation and the wallboard underneath was black with mold up to our shoulders.
We learned from two engineering reports that our saturated soil was actually putting so much pressure on the block foundation wall that it was beginning to bow inward. Our contractor dug down to the footings on two sides, jacked the wall back into position, added steel supports to the inside of the foundation wall, put in a new drainage system, including underground extensions of our gutters into the drainage pipes, waterproofed the walls on the outside, added a layer of this plastic stuff that carries water directly into the footing drain, and backfilled with soil that drains well. It was drastic, and expensive, and it worked like a charm, and now we are the only people in our neighborhood who have a dry, dry basement. It was worth it. I bet you can solve your problem more easily than that, but I urge you to at least find out.
With all best wishes...
Sorry to be alarmist...but you are right to start with gutters. The first thing is to make sure that your gutters and your grading are carrying water away from your house. Sometimes the simplest things are the culprits. As a wise person of my acquaintance often says, "When you hear hoofbeats, don't think first of zebras."
If your gutters don't do it, do consider a good engineer, however. Knowing is always better.
Best luck...!

Waves of Flags Honoring flight 93 Passenger Tom Burnett.... the fallen of 911 and their families.
- davidw, CNN iReport producer
"Waves of Flags" is an annual event held at Pepperdine University to honor those who died on September 11, 2001. Overlooking the Pacific Ocean, the sight of the flags waving in the wind, is one to behold.
Hundreds of motorcyclists joined together for their "Ride to Flags" from the Ventura Naval Base to Pepperdine University.
On this tenth year anniversary, Pepperdine alumni Thomas Burnett was remembered. Burnett was one of the passengers on United flight 93, who helped overpower the hijackers and stop the plane from crashing into what was speculated to be be the next target, the U.S. Capitol. It ultimately crashed into a field in Pennsylvania.
Deena Burnett Bailey and their three children joined people for this ceremony dedicated to Thomas Burnett, and all those who lost their lives durning 911.

Two Wauwatosa West students were arrested for resisting arrest and truancy after they were seen bicycling around the city and looking into garbage carts while they should have been at school last week.
According to Wauwatosa police:
Two boys were seen going through garbages in the 1900 block of North 86th Street at 8:36 a.m. Oct. 11. An officer responded and activated the emergency lights on his squad car but one of the boys turned his bicycle around and starting pedaling away. He eventually dumped his bicycle in a driveway and ran through residential yards in the 2000 block of North 85th Street before he was stopped.
Meanwhile, the second teen was stopped and told to sit on the curb while his friend was found. Police got an anonymous call saying the boy had made his way to 86th Street and Stickney Avenue. He had given a fake name - that of one of the district's elementary school principals - to police when he was first stopped.
A search of the second boy's pockets turned up two rings, which had been taken from his friend's house. The stepmother said she believed the boy had been hiding out in her home since he has been reported missing Sept. 23. He was also arrested for theft and sent to Children's Court.

During a trip to the Grampians, Victoria, I came across this pod of kangaroos eating at sunset. Creeping up on a fairly tame group of kangaroos is not tricky when moving slowly down wind, but they are always watching and protecting their joeys. This mother waited after the rest had moved on, making sure that all were safe. Long lenses are very useful!

WATCH: Michael Sam Meets Press, Exudes Poise
BY Trudy Ring
February 22 2014 11:40 PM ET
NFL prospect Michael Sam met the press today for the first time since coming out as gay, saying he wants to be known as "Michael Sam the football player, not Michael Sam the gay football player," and by several accounts he handled the media with aplomb.
Sam appeared at a press conference in Indianapolis at the NFL Scouting Combine, a multiday event at which pro teams evaluate potential draft picks. A defensive lineman for the University of Missouri, Sam came out two weeks ago in a New York Times interview.
With that past him, Sam emphasized to reporters that he wants to be judged only on his football skills. Still, most of the questions were about the ramifications of being the first openly gay player in the NFL, if indeed he is drafted by a team.
Sam, who was out to teammates at Mizzou and encountered no problems, expressed confidence that as a pro, he could handle any homophobic reactions he might run into. "I've been in locker rooms with all kinds of slurs being said," he said. "I don't think anyone means it. As time goes on, everyone will adapt."
Asked if slurs would lead to a fight, Sam was incredulous, according to NFL.com blogger Michael Shapiro. "A fight?" Sam said. "If somebody wants to call me a name, I'll have a conversation with that guy and hopefully it will lead to nothing else."
At Missouri, he noted, "Everyone could be normal around me. We would joke around, because it's a brotherhood and it's a family. We can say things to each other, and there's no harm. We don't draw blood. It's all fun and games. A good portion of the student body knew, and word did get out, but we protect one another at Mizzou, I guess."
Several reporters who attended the press conference praised Sam's demeanor. "Sam was as honest, poised and intelligent as you'd imagine," wrote Douglas Farrar on Sports Illustrated's website. "He was an ideal representative to break new ground."
Added USA Today's Jarrett Bell: "Sam was not timid, hesitant, nor did he appear to be the least bit nervous as one question after another focused on his sexual orientation."
Silver called Sam's appearance "an impressive display of maturity," noting, "With so much noise surrounding his attempt to become the NFL's first openly gay player, the former Missouri star injected a strong, steady and undeniably human voice into the fray, and the sports world was better for it."
Farrar concluded, "It's become very clear that just as Jackie Robinson was the right person to carry his cause into the sporting world for an infinite number of reasons, Michael Sam chose himself to do this, and he was absolutely correct in doing so."

Wrapping Up National Volunteer Week
April 15, 2011 by HRC staff
Post submitted by Michael Cole-Schwartz, Former HRC Director of Communications
As National Volunteer Week comes to a close, we are grateful for all the stories posted on our Facebook page about how your volunteer work continues to pave the way of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender equality. Collectively these stories send a powerful message of hope for thousands of Americans that continue to be discriminated against due to their sexual orientation or gender identity. As Margaret Mead famously stated, "never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has."
It is with profound gratitude that we salute all volunteers for their passion, courage, and unrelenting commitment to achieve equality. Pete Webb, a member of HRC's board of governors, concludes our celebration of volunteerism by sharing his thoughts as a volunteer. "I am a longtime community activist working for LGBT Civil Rights and Equality Issues. I started volunteering with the Human Rights Campaign back in the 90's at various festivals, rallies and educational forums. I am proud of the work and depth of the organization on various issues from Transgender Justice and Inclusion to Marriage Equality. Today the Human Rights Campaign stands as a beacon of hope and excellence in the work for Equality and Justice."
