A new comment from Dan Underhill was received on the post "City Council's O'Neill & Keener: Public Projects" of the blog Pacifica Riptide:
"I'm ready to hear about what other industry, apart from tourism, you think Pacifica might promote. I'm ready to include that industry in what I encourage the citizenry and the council to push. Yes, we lack funding. We have always lacked funding. The carpetbaggers have always cited this as the reason we need to sell out to the highest bidder. The dreamers who stuck with their principles have got us tunnels instead of a super freeway bypass, and an art center and concert hall instead of an abandoned school, and a regularly scheduled outdoor farmer's market, and a spectacular park where a dangerous stretch of highway once was, and a dog park, and a community garden, and a community theater, and libraries, and a whole alternative school (for those who remember back that far) instead of just one alternative class. All of these contribute both directly and indirectly to the collective wealth of our community in ways which selling out simply could not. Our community needs real economic solutions to real economic problems, and selling out simply lacks the long-term legitimacy required to keep us afloat."

When attempting to load my gta 5 on my xbox i encounter an error message just after what I believe to be a disclaimer, it's the one you get if your not signed in when attempting to play and informs you that you need to sign in to save data and be awarded achievements, I get this even when I am signed in. I can't progress past this alert message accepting it or not, the screen just freezes on it but the rest of the xbox doesn't. I can still hear and talk to friends in party chat, i can still use the xbox guide menu but I just can't get on the game what so ever.
Obviously I've tried signing in on other accounts and have reset the xbox a number of times and even tried leaving xbox turned off for a few hours hoping it will sort its self out but no luck so far.
Please any help will be much appreciated
Alert. You have not signed in error

I also have this same issue.I was playing a couple of hours ago and everything was fine. I stopped for a couple hours and now im getting this Alert. Tells me i need to be signed in when i clearly am. Please help... dont know what to do.
Posted 16 October 2013 - 05:51 PM
I've just tried the game again for the first time since I made this post and it all of a sudden started working again, hopefully if you encounter the same problem it will fix itself like it did for me
Posted 16 June 2014 - 06:47 PM
This happened to me, fixed itself and just happened to me again today. I was just looking on how to fix it, saw nothing and decided to try something. It says you're not signed in when you are, and the buttons do nothing when you ARE signed in, so I figured I would try it when Not signed in. The message came up, I pressed sign in, and it worked.
If this ever happens to you again, try launching the game while signed out and see if it works for you too. I can't believe I'm the first to figure this out if it works for others and it wasn't just a fluke.

Keep your courts independent, EU to tell Turkey
BRUSSELS (Reuters) – The European Commission will criticise Turkey on Wednesday for failing to safeguard the independence of its judges and says it wants to have more discussion on rights as part of Ankara's bid to join the European Union, according a senior EU official.
The Commission, the EU executive, will make the calls when it publishes its annual report to assess how far Turkey and other countries aspiring to EU membership have progressed in bringing their rules into line with EU standards and values.
Dutchman to target EU red tape in gesture to Britain
BRUSSELS (Reuters) – The Dutchman set to help run the new EU executive promised on Tuesday to cut red tape, echoing a pledge by incoming European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker to focus on priorities to regain voters' trust.
The comments by Frans Timmermans, at a parliamentary hearing to confirm his nomination as Juncker's first vice president, are likely to be welcomed by British Prime Minister David Cameron, who has urged Brussels to cut back on EU regulation to help him persuade Britons not to vote to quit the European Union.

U.S. trade deal won't change rules on 'toxic' chemicals, EU says
BRUSSELS (Reuters) – The European Union is seeking to contain a new complaint that a trade deal with the United States would undermine Europe's protection against dangerous chemicals, eager to avoid another front of resistance to the world's biggest trade accord.
More than a year into negotiations, the European Commission, the EU executive, is engaged in a public relations battle to defend plans to deepen the transatlantic trading relationship and create a market of some 800 million people encompassing almost half the world's economy.
EU keeps Russia sanctions in place, sees 'encouraging' signs
BRUSSELS (Reuters) – The European Union decided on Tuesday to keep in place a package of economic sanctions against Russia over its support for separatist rebels in eastern Ukraine despite what it called "encouraging developments" on the ground after a ceasefire deal.
The 28-nation EU has imposed sanctions on Russia's finance, defence and energy sectors and has frozen the assets of some 140 Russian and Ukrainian individuals and companies over Moscow's role in Ukraine.
No U.S. 'chlorine chicken' in Europe, EU's health nominee says
BRUSSELS (Reuters) – The EU's nominee for health chief pledged on Tuesday to oppose the import of some U.S. foodstuffs such as chemically-treated meat that Washington hopes to be able to sell to Europe under a planned multi-billion-dollar transatlantic trade deal.
In comments at his confirmation hearing in the European Parliament that will delight EU heavyweights France and Germany, Vytenis Andriukaitis also said genetically modified crops posed a "philosophical problem" that threatened Europe's biodiversity.

Russia cannot change EU-Ukraine deal: EU trade nominee
BRUSSELS (Reuters) – Russia will not be allowed to amend a free-trade deal between the European Union and Ukraine, the woman set to become the EU's new trade chief said on Monday, rejecting Moscow's demands.
Russian President Vladimir Putin wants three-way negotiations to amend the EU's accord with Kiev, which Russia says will hurt its own economy, and has threatened to curtail Ukraine's access to Russian markets if Kiev implements the deal.
EU trade nominee open to dropping investor rights in U.S. pact
BRUSSELS, Sept 29 (Reuters) – The woman likely to become the

environmental rules if Brussels and Washington agree the world's
biggest trade deal.

provisions from the pact if Europeans believed they would allow
U.S. firms to circumvent EU rules and standards.

Addleshaw-Goddard LLP
Robert G. Eccles; Amy C. Edmondson; James Weber
Price: $6.93
Addleshaw-Goddard (AG), the 15th largest law firm in the U.K., is seeking ways to serve larger clients on more important legal matters. Part of this strategy involves its "Client Development Centre (CDC)," an innovative idea and set of services launched by Dr. Jim Hever who holds a Ph.D. in Strategic Leadership Development. The mission of the CDC is to improve the capabilities of clients' in-house legal departments, such as by making them better partners with the business units and improving their leadership skills. The CDC has adopted an innovative pricing structure. Rather than charging direct fees for these consulting services, it proposed to the client that it contract with the firm for five times this amount in legal fees that might otherwise have gone to another law firm. It is in this way that AG hopes to increase its position in its larger clients. AG has also developed a very systematic program for identifying and serving its key clients, developed in collaboration with Cranfield School of Management. It is these clients that will be the focus of the efforts for the CDC. In addition, the firm has co-developed a training program with Cranfield to improve the skills of its own partners. The case explores whether these initiatives will lead to a long-term competitive advantage. The firm believes what really will produce competitive advantage is its "Me-To-You-Mindset" initiative that encourages partners to look at the world through their clients' eyes. At the end of the case Hever is reflecting on a proposal he submitted for providing CDC services to one of the largest U.K. companies. The general counsel wants to pay for these services in cash should he decide to accept the proposal, rather than hiring AG for more legal work. Hever is wondering if this is a good way to take advantage of recent reforms allowing law firms to provide other professional services, like consulting, or if this is "off-strategy" for the mission of the CDC.
Learning objective:
This case is about innovation in a professional service firm, in terms of pricing structures and service line diversification, and putting together and managing the optimal client portfolio.
Subjects Covered:
Competitive advantage; Diversification; Innovation; Organizational development; Partnerships; Portfolio management; Pricing

"I purchased the ensemble of Invitation, Response card, Insert card and Labels. The paper is perfectly matched on all pieces and looks like I paid several times the actual price. Customer Service was very easy to work with and the ervice was super-fast!!"
"The design crew was extremely helpful. I love the option that you can purchase different amounts of RSVP cards than invitations. Not everyone can utilize an online RSVP website. The older generation still wants the information printed. Working with WPDivas was a delightful process."
"Matches the invite very nicely. Great service from wedding divas about removing an extra line for rsvp, followed through with request. Very satisfied."
"I got this design in their lavender color to match my purple invitations. We had to completely customize our response cards because some guests got plus ones and there was no need for entrees to be listed. The designer was very helpful and understood the custom design note I left and I didn't need it to be re-done. I ordered the paper to be in Pearl Shimmer and just received them yesterday, I love how they look!"
"these invitations/response cards are BEAUTIFUL! we are having an outdoor, on-religious, lakeside ceremony then indoor reception, so not super fancy and i think the "petal cluster" line was the best choice for us and stood out among the other samples we had received. We were able to customize everything which was a huge plus. we chose meadow and navy for the blooms and grey for the text, it matches or wedding perfectly. the colors really pop against the white background and the quality is phenomenal. the standard textured paper is higher quality than what the other companies make you pay extra for, too. WPD also allowed us to add an extra line for a song request line! We are really happy with how they turned out and can't wait to send them to our families and friends!"

I am not a huge sci-fi fan but I decided to give this book a try. At first my eyes were glazing over when the main character was talking about releasing hydrogen molecules from hydrazine but the novel quickly moves beyond this necessary part of the story to become an amazing realistic read. I felt like I was reading the diary of an actual astronaut who had been stranded on Mars. Highly recommended!
I don't typically read Sci-Fi, and I tore through this book in an evening. Stranded on Mars, racing against the clock - I was THERE - with a main character who made me laugh in the face of danger. I have recommended this to everyone!
Terrific can't-stop-reading sci-fi page turner! Written in such a casual manner that it almost reads like an event that actually happened. As I read it I often thought to myself "I can't wait for the movie!"
Probably one of the most fun sci-fi books I've ever read. You wouldn't think so from the plot line. Astronaut left behind on Mars by accident must survive until the next mission comes in 4 years. Wait though, Mark Watney is no ordinary guy--he's tenacious, clever and has an unfailing sense of humour. A botanist and engineer, his will to survive is strong. His equipment modifications and determination to keep himself fed by growing potatoes is something you will admire and you will root for him throughout the book. This book will be made into a movie and I will be lining up for my ticket!
The Martian --- by --- Andy Weir. A totally amazing book I read straight through --- non-stop (well, I took out a couple of hours for night time. The book is that absorbing. With a name like "The Martian", is it Science Fiction you might add? Well it is very credibly science, or at least engineering based. Is it fiction? For sure. But it's an entirely credibly kind of fiction. All the premises upon which the novel is based are not particularly far-fetched --- not when you consider men landed on the moon over half a century ago and we've taken pictures even of Pluto.
The story: Mark is part of a six-person team that has gone to Mars. A terrible accident forces the abandonment of the mission leaving Mark behind for dead with a length of tubing protruding his body and his spacesuit. Miraculously, though, Marc isn't dead. Totally cut off from Earth, Mark has to figure out a way to get back there. Resourcefulness is the name of the rest of the tale. So is never losing hope or faith.
Realistic. Credible. Gripping. It's the book you can't put down. It's the book that will have seemed too short.
This isn't the type of book I'd normally enjoy, but Weir's command of his subject matter and his deft characterizations made it a page-turner for me. Lots of technical parts but they're treated with a light hand, so they move the story along rather than bog it down. Loved this one!
Impressive storytelling! It's obvious Andy Weir understands the technical specifics behind his story. Rather than bog it down, they enhance its credibility. It also helps that the characters are recognizable, believable, and generally likable.
Excellent book. MacGiver on Mars. Very funny and a lot of science and chemistry explanation.
Best scifi book read since a long of time.
I really enjoyed the sarcastic humor.
I enjoy a book that pulls me in and makes me want to be part of the story. I was really rooting for Watney to survive. If you like lots of science in your science fiction them you will find this a very satisfying read.
This is a non stop book with plot curves, a character you wish you coud be like and hopes to one day see this made into a movie. I want to read more by this author.

This application claims the benefit of U.S. Application No. 60/659,231, filed Mar. 7, 2005, the content of which are incorporated by reference herein.
The present invention relates to packaging in general, and more particularly to a toothbrush package that demonstrates the functionality of a toothbrush contained within.
Many packages have interactive features that demonstrate product features or functionality. A simple example is a �scratch-n-sniff� patch applied to an outer package surface that is representative of the scent of a product contained within. Another example is an opening in a package that provides access to an actionable part of the product, or a �try me� feature that allows a consumer to temporarily activate the product through the packaging.
In each of the above examples, the packaging structure passively conveys product functionality. In the �scratch-n-sniff� patch example, the packaging acts only as a support for the patch. A �try me� feature on a package for a vibrating-head power toothbrush, for example, activates the head vibrations, which are transmitted though the packaging to the user's hand, with the packaging functioning only as a vibration conduit and nothing more.
While such packaging examples serve to passively educate the consumer, the packaging structures fail to interact with the product to create an amplified, dynamic experience for the consumer. There is a need, therefore, to provide a package that demonstrates product functionality in a dynamic, eye-catching manner.
A package that demonstrates a functionality of a contained product, the package comprising a demonstration feature distinct from the contained product that changes from a resting state to an active state upon activation of the contained product. In one embodiment, a package for a powered toothbrush having a vibrating portion is provided with a demonstration feature in the form of a liquid filled capsule at least partially surrounding the vibration portion. When the toothbrush is powered in the package, by a consumer activating a �try me� feature or the like, the liquid in the capsule vibrates vigorously to illustrate the vibration generated by the packaged toothbrush. The sensorial experience to the consumer is amplified, first in the form of vibrations felt through the package, and second in the form of vibrations generated in the demonstration feature included in the package. Thus, the packaging dynamically interacts with the product to provide a multi-sensorial demonstration of product functionality at the point of purchase.
The following detailed description is of the best mode or modes of the invention presently contemplated. Such description is not intended to be understood in a limiting sense, but to be an example of the invention presented solely for illustration thereof, and by reference to which in connection with the following description and the accompanying drawings one skilled in the art may be advised of the advantages and construction of the invention. In the various views of the drawings, like reference characters designate like or similar parts.
Head 116 is preferably positioned in the package 100 adjacent demonstration feature 120 to effectively communicate the head vibrations through the demonstration feature 120 as will be described below. As will also be described, the positioning of the demonstration feature 120 relative to the product 110 could vary as desired. In the present embodiment, demonstration feature 120 is a capsule 122 filled with a movable medium 124 such as, for example, a clear liquid. Head 116 is preferably accommodated within a socket 126 in the capsule 122 so that the capsule 122 partially surrounds the head 116. In a resting state as shown in
Capsule 122 is preferably a thermoformed plastic capsule filled completely or partially with a movable medium to visually demonstrate a functionality of the packaged product. More preferably, the movable medium is a non-toxic liquid, although other gaseous or particulate-type mediums may be used such as, but not limited to sand, glitter particles, powder, filaments, fibers, etc. alone and/or in combination with the liquid. The liquid may be clear or colored and have any desired consistency, with the understanding that certain mediums may provide a greater visual experience than others depending on the product, the product functionality and the type and magnitude of the product functionality being demonstrated. Of course, vibration or other types of product functionality could be demonstrated by something other than a capsule per se, so long as the product functionality is visually apparent from inspection of the package.
Capsule 122 can be a separable from or formed integrally with the package 100. For example, the capsule 122 and package 100 could be formed in a single molding operation, or the capsule could be attached to and detachable with the product from the package. Any manner of associating the product, package and demonstration feature will be contemplated. For example, the capsule 122 could simply surround the product instead of including a socket 126 to receive a portion of the product. The demonstration feature could also be any shape or size as desired. In the package 200 of the embodiment of
While the present invention has been described at some length and with some particularity with respect to the several described embodiments, it is not intended that it should be limited to any such particulars or embodiments or any particular embodiment, but it is to be construed with references to the appended claims so as to provide the broadest possible interpretation of such claims in view of the prior art and, therefore, to effectively encompass the intended scope of the invention. Furthermore, the foregoing describes the invention in terms of embodiments foreseen by the inventor for which an enabling description was available, notwithstanding that insubstantial modifications of the invention, not presently foreseen, may nonetheless represent equivalents thereto.

Breaking the Product Return Cycle
November 25, 2014
We've all been there. We buy a technology product, take it home and things just don't work out. So we return the device—usually to the retailer where we bought it or the manufacturer who made it. Consumers have a litany of good reasons for returning CE products after purchase; but the industry can't afford to ignore this alternative universe of sales known as reverse logistics. In fact, product returns is serious business that represents anywhere from five percent to 15 percent of the bottom line. Having the right strategy is crucial for manufacturers and retailers alike. But in order to develop an equitable return policy and effectively cope with the product that...
Unleashing the Streaming Money Channel

The topic was streaming premium cable networks directly to consumers as a subscription service without viewers having to sign up for cable or satellite TV. The chairmen and CEOs of two giant media companies revealed that they were considering it, without committing to any details.

Is Facebook Your Competitive Weapon of Choice?
November 18, 2014
I am often asked for guiding principles to muscle up a company's sales, marketing and brand offense smartly designed to polarize competitors off their game; forcing them into a bulwark posture of market defense. Easy words to articulate, but in fact rather complicated to business comport based upon so many varying company brand, product, manufacturing, advertising, channel, pricing and market share dynamics. Since your brand is your promise—and no brand stands competitively alone—your sales and brand offense should articulate your proud advantages. In essence, the value of your brand means...

HBO Announces Stand-Alone Service
October 17, 2014
HBO recently announced that it will offer an online streaming video service that will not require consumers to have a separate cable subscription. In the past, HBO GO was an additional service for consumers who already had a subscription to HBO through cable, satellite or other, but now they are cutting the cord. HBO Chairman and CEO Richard Pleper announced that this service will begin in 2015 and described it as "a stand-alone, over-the-top, HBO service." This announcement blossomed from the rise in popularity of Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu and over-the-top (OTT) content. In order to compete with these services, HBO decided to expand its service. Not long after HBO...
2014 CE Hall of Fame: Gerald M. "Jerry" McCarthy
October 14, 2014
It probably surprised a lot of people – especially his Jewish customers – but Jerry McCarthy, the son of an Irish immigrant, spoke and understood a little Yiddish. It probably also surprised a lot of people that McCarthy modestly describes himself merely as a "peddler." But McCarthy was more than just a peddler or a gifted linguist; he was instrumental in launching some of the industry's most innovative products during his 30-year career at Zenith and helped radically alter the ways consumer electronics products were distributed and sold. A native of Chicago, McCarthy was born June 13, 1941, and got into sales as soon as he discovered how much he...
What Is Driving Gaming?
October 10, 2014
The eighth generation of video game consoles promises to drive sales through the 2014 holiday season. CEA takes an in-depth look at trends in the gaming industry in the recent study The Future of Gaming. While video game consoles continue to be the most popular option among gamers, the growing popularity of gaming on mobile devices is an area to watch. With smartphone and tablet ownership at their highest rates, they are fast becoming the gaming devices of choice for many consumers.
Video Games: Power-Up for Retailer Profits
October 10, 2014
Video games are a perennial consumer favorite for holiday tech gifts and a much anticipated power-up for retailer traffic and revenues. Noticeably, the new eighth-generation console platforms lifted annual shipment revenues 16.4 percent to nearly $17 billion last year, according to CEA. This opened an exciting new chapter in the CE market; not only for consumer entertainment, but an opportunity for CE retailers and manufacturers alike. However, 2014 has brought disruption to the gaming sector. Witness the new crop of digital media set-top boxes like Amazon Fire TV and Google's coming Android ...
2014 CE Hall of Fame: James "Cowboy" Maloney
October 07, 2014
(1911-1976)Founder, Cowboy Maloney's Electric City Super Stores "Cowboy" Maloney was not really a cowboy. He actually started out in show business, owned a gas station, did construction work and finally bought a lumber yard in Jackson, Mississippi. But when the TV boom hit in the early 1950s, Maloney discovered a more profitable source of income. Maloney built his eponymous electronics business so successfully that "Cowboy" Maloney's Electric City was chosen to be the first retailer to launch DirecTV and Sirius Satellite Radio. James C. Maloney was born in Jackson, Mississippi, on October 30, 1911, the oldest of four brothers. His...

The people here are pretty friendly, the men are mostly too friendly. The most inappropriate encounter I had was from a 12 year old boy who was walking with his parents but kept turning around to give me winks and suggestive mouth movements. One 15 year old boy actually cried 'arrribba' when I walked past, which I thought was so authentic ...

My WS Setup
Which really isn't a set up at all.
When I first started this project, I started a bunch
of seeds in flats and put them into the cab of
my pickup. Hoping they would be protected and also
get sunlight and warmth. Like a real green house.
Then I came WS for some advise and was told "Get them outta
And I did! But that left a dilemma. Where would I put
them. So I went shopping.
These boxes fit the bill I thought. I drilled holes for

That's it for April 4th, 2009!
MN WS Gal,
Nope I didn't drill holes in the bottom.
Something I had better do when I put them into
storage for next season.
This WS can sure become addictive, where you are
looking for any potential container for your
Then THIS happened over night.
The wind was fierce. Put some of my containers in the
garage. Winds in the 50 MPH range. Not alot of snow,
more wind than anything.
Have not checked my jugs yet this AM.
Hope they survived! Stepped out on the
porch to take these shots.
Really cold out there, and ice on my porch.
Mary, that storm mostly stayed south of us. We got just a dusting on the lawn which has already melted and I see the sun poking out between the clouds. I imagine the snow there will melt quickly in the next few days.
When you can get to your plastic boxes you may want to empty them just long enough to drill those holes in the bottom then replace the other containers. Otherwise when the spring rains come you will need to move them into the garage or keep bailing water out of them so your seeds/sprouts don't get waterlogged.
MN WS Gal,
I kinda put water in the bottom because my little pots
kept drying out. Now, I am afraid the little paper cups
are water logged.
I poked holes in the bottom of the cups to take up water from there.
I think I have a way to go in the learning department
where WS is concerned. I also water logged another
jug, but I can't remember the contents.
I hope the seeds aren't rotted.
PS: The snow is melting, we didn't get much, but
driving was hazardous for awhile, the roads are
clear now. Got my mulch! yay!
The mix and seeds just need to be kept moist. Add more drainage holes if they are too wet. I know when I use the small pots and cups they sometimes need to be watered twice a day. Moving the containers into a more shaded area will help keep them moist longer. Also it is important to pot them up and/or keep watering after the seedlings sprout.
I use the same seed starting packs that you are using for my inside under lights seeds to germinate. Then grow them on for awhile before potting up. I haven't used them for ws.
Every year I learn something new about winter sowing and about the seeds and plants I am growing. I like to experiment so if one thing doesn't work I try another.

Gay Republican assaulted for political activism
This morning, Daily Caller was kind enough to publish an article I wrote about a vicious assault done to Kyle Wood, a gay volunteer for a Republican campaign in Wisconsin. Kyle ended up in the hospital:
Kyle Wood, a full-time volunteer working for GOP House candidate Chad Lee, was hospitalized for injuries suffered during what he said was an assault at his home.
Wood told The Daily Caller that vandalism preceding the assault, along with his attacker's statements during the incident, suggested his sexual orientation and his politics each played a role.
"I was getting ready for work and there was a knock at the door," Wood emailed The Daily Caller late Wednesday. "I opened it, and a guy wrapped a ligature around my neck, slammed my head into the doorway, and smashed my face into a mirror, telling me 'You should have kept your [f*******] mouth shut.'"
"He then kidney-punched me, while at the same time saying I was 'warned,' and continued to beat me," he added.
Wood said his attacker's reference to a warning likely pointed to graffiti he found painted on his car last week. The vandalism included the phrases "house trained republican faggot," "traitor," and "ur like a jew 4 hitler."
After he discovered the graffiti, Wood wrote an open letter on Facebook to the unknown vandal. "If you understand either freedom or me at all," he wrote, "you would that this will only make me work harder. … You can think whatever you like about me, but I will not be bullied into voting for a gay man simply because I am gay."
He's also standing up against his unknown assailant:
"I will not be bullied, intimidated or threatened into abandoning my moral values," Wood told TheDC late Wednesday.

Hi everyone. I am new to posting but have been lurking awhile. I was wondering if you all could help me make some chicken broth. I have 10 pounds of chicken quarters that I want to be able to pick off the meat to freeze for later meals and also get a broth out of it. I have been searching for directions on how to make broth, but I usually just see it made with bones. Can I make the broth while at the same time boiling the meat to pick for later use? How would I do this? I would really appreciate any tips you all can give.
Thanks so much!
ETA: I can use crockpot or stock pot, whichever is easier.
I think folks who make stock generally leave meat on bones or use meaty bones like wings. Maybe someone else will chime in here.
Put in the chicken with some carrots, celery (I use leaves and all), a halved onion and some bay leaves...cover with water and simmer the daylights out of it. Then strain the stock, pick the chicken off the bones (it will be falling off) and then - voila! you have stock and nicely tender chicken meat to use as you wish. :)
I usually use a crockpot.....
Mama to DS (8) and DD (7) Aristotle was not Belgian. The central message of Buddhism is not "Every man for himself." And the London Underground is not a political movement.
Thank you both so much! I have it in the pot now and am excited to see how it turns out. I'm feeling very domestic today
Thanks for the help

One of our customers reported that 'create table select from' statements stall for a period of time equal to the TokuDB lock timeout. This indicated a lock conflict between multiple transactions. In addition, other MySQL clients that were opening unrelated tables were also stalled. This indicated that some shared mutex is held too long. We discuss details about this bug and how it was fixed. The bug fix will be distributed in TokuDB 7.1.0.
Suppose that we set the tokudb lock timeout to 60 seconds just to exaggerate the stall.

Gift allows furloughed staff to return to D.C. nonprofit
Furloughed staff returned to the Latin American Youth Center today thanks to a donation from Capital One.
With contract reimbursements on hold due to the federal government shutdown, LAYC had insufficient cash to operate at full capacity. Last week the Columbia Heights nonprofit, which offers youth development services to 5,000 children each year, announced it had reduced its operations to essential services.
The $250,000 gift from Capital One will restore the charity's usual programming, which includes job training, education and mentoring.
"Knowing how important it is to ensure continuity of supportive programs like homeless services and supports, afterschool programs, and workforce development training for at-risk youth and their families, we felt it was vital to help LAYC continue to serve the region through this difficult time," said Jon Witter, Capital One's president of retail and direct banking, in a statement. Capital One has been a longtime partner of the youth center.
It's one of a crop of stories surfacing about philanthropists, businesses and other groups coming to aid of the nonprofit sector, which has seen detrimental financial impacts from the government shutdown.
Just last week, a Houston-based couple, Laura and John Arnold, gave $10 million in emergency funds to reopen Headstart programs in six states.

This is absolutely a "no frills" park. All sites are back ins. It is located right off a highway and if you are not running your A/C at night, there will be lots of traffic noise. Several of the sites are used for seasonal storage. We never saw anyone associated with the park, but email communications with them are good.

Friendly, helpful, bare basics camp. Easy to find, good pull off. The owner, who was working on his farm machinery, gave us a bunch of fresh-picked asparagus for our dinner. Would stay here again. We camped at Ryken's RV Park in a Motorhome.Undo
Date of Stay: June, 2012 - $18.00
This is a basic RV Park with good hook-ups. Close to the Missouri River for boating and fishing. Open year round and it's undergoing upgrades. It was operated by a mom but is now being managed by her three sons. Tents not allowed. Self contained rigs only because there are no restrooms or showers. There is no clubhouse. New web site to be online shortly. Be sure to call to make a reservation. I will stay here again when in the area. We camped at Ryken's RV Park in a Motorhome.Undo
