PASSING OFFENSE: A - The Cardinals passed for four touchdowns, and quarterback Kurt Warner was efficient in combating the Eagles' pressure schemes. He was sacked twice but did not have an interception.
RUSHING OFFENSE B-plus - The Cardinals rushed for 102 yards and averaged 3.5 yards a carry. For them, that's a stellar day. Edgerrin James continues to impress, gaining 73 yards on 16 carries, including a 22-yard run.
PASS DEFENSE: C - Quarterback Donovan McNabb passed for 375 yards and three touchdowns, and the Eagles had plays of 62, 50 and 31 yards. The Cardinals had one interception but gave up too many big plays.
RUSH DEFENSE: B - The Eagles were effective, gaining 97 yards and averaging 5.4 yards a carry. But starting running back Brian Westbrook had just 45 of those yards.
SPECIAL TEAMS: B - Kicker Neil Rackers made his only field-goal attempt and the coverage teams were solid. Punter Ben Graham toughed it out, kicking with a sore groin.
COACHING: A - Good game plans on both sides of the ball. Offensive coordinator Todd Haley put together a nice package to handle the blitz, and defensive coordinator Clancy Pendergast gave the Eagles a variety of looks.

Video update: RNLI crew searches for missing boy in stormy seas off Newhaven
Video of RNLI search at Newhaven http://t.co/rSZiQBQQeD
The RNLI video shows the lifeboat crew searching off the Sussex coast for the 14-year-old boy who is reported to have been swept out to sea late this afternoon. Conditions for the crew are treacherous. They are assisted by the Coastguard search and rescue helicopter.
Coastguard issue warning as storm approaches
Solent Coastguard Watch Manager, Steve Mann said
This weekend we have been expecting hurricane-force winds and we are urging people to take extra care.
The crashing waves are spectacular to watch but also extremely dangerous. HM Coastguard's advice is simple: don't take risks. But if you do get into difficulty, or spot someone who might be in trouble, call 999 and ask for the Coastguard.
Solent Coastguard update on missing 14-year-old boy
Solent Coastguard have issued the following statement about the missing 14-year-old boy feared to have been swept away in stormy seas off Newhaven this afternoon.
Solent Coastguard are searching for a missing boy who was last seen playing in the surf at West Beach, Newhaven approximately 10 meters offshore.
Solent Coastguard was alerted to the missing boy via 999 calls and the local National Coast watch Institution. Coastguard Rescue Teams from Newhaven and Burling Gap are searching the area.
Solent Coastguard requested the Newhaven RNLI lifeboat to the scene, a Coastguard Rescue helicopter is also searching for the boy.
The search conditions on scene are very difficult for the rescue teams involved, with rough seas and poor visibility.
Coastguard and Police search for boy reported missing off Newhaven in Sussex
The boy is believed to come from the local area and has not yet been named. He is said to have been in the sea just after 4pm this afternoon with a friend when he disappeared.
Sussex Police began searching their area assisted by the local coastguard and other emergency services around the West Beach area of Newhaven.
Residents demand access to beach
In the ongoing battle to reclaim an East Sussex beach, campaigners are planning another protest. Newhaven's West Beach was closed by the local port's French owners in 2008 over safety fears.
This year the Court of Appeal ruled it could be listed as a village green, giving residents the right to use it. But the owners are appealing against this and the beach remains closed. Last weekend campaigners climbed over barriers to hold a picnic protest.
Picnic protest over Sussex beach closure
Residents from a Sussex town are holding a peaceful picnic in protest at having another summer with no access to Newhaven beach.
The area has been cordoned off to the public in an ongoing battle between Sussex Council, Newhaven Town Council and Newhaven Port and Properties - spanning seven years concerning safety. The Port Authority says people should not put themselves at risk by entering the area.
Consultation over water supply
South East Water is inviting customers to have their say on plans to secure water supplies in Sussex.
Two public exhibitions have been planned to show customers how the recently published Water Resources Management Plan will affect them.
The exhibitions are being held on June 4, between 12-8pm, at Arlington Village Hall in East Sussex and June 21, 12-8pm, at South Heighton Village Hall in Newhaven.
The company will also show how it proposes to meet the growing demand for water between 2015 and 2040.
Everyone who uses water has a part to play in helping to ensure that there is a secure, sustainable supply of water in the future.
We want to share our proposals with our customers to ensure that their views can be properly considered and taken into account in the final plan, which is expected to be published in early 2014.

I won't have time to burlap my DA's before the storm descends
With temps steadily dropping 15-20 degrees trough the day.
Tom Skilling states it will sink all the way down to lower 20s, rain turning in to snow.
I didn't plan on wrapping them until the first hard frost.
Hearing the forecast I'm worried this will be a bit more than a hard frost as snow and 20 degree temp shift is in the making.
They are well mulched and the grafts are 2-3 inches below the soil level but I'm a bit worried.
I did pick them trying to mind the hardiness:
Abe Darby
Graham Thomas
Golden Celebration
Lady Of Shalott
Scepter D' Isle
Other non DA roses include the Iceberg, Mr. Lincoln, Peace, Colette, America.
The two week forecast indicates this is the only real snow storm for a while, temps will go up a bit after Thursday but pretty consistently hoover around 23, I won't get to burlap and winter mulch until December 1st.
Is that too late?
Would it make any difference if I asked my neighbor to put big bags over the shrubs to avoid the sleet freezing to the canes?
I know, not ideal but best I can do being over 50 miles away and no chance to get there before the weekend.
Any jimmy rigging advice ?
Knowing where you are, as well as your garden zone, would help folks give more specific advice. If you add your zone to your profile, it will show up next to your name when you post. I might ask this kind of question in the rose forum. (Assuming you're talking about roses?) Good luck!

ph swing 9.0! New girl here :0)
Please help me understand my quick chemistry lesson. I understand that op ph level is 7.5 and that koi can handle the ph level if it is 8.2 if it stays steady. My ph swings as high as 9.0 after the heat of day. It tests 8.0ish later in the day like around 6:00ish. I read a lot of sites that were over my head but the basics I understood.
I have hardwater (well water) so treating the ph is going to be a problem because the water can swing again after 24 hours. From what I understood hardwater has buffering issues.
Heat can cause ph swings as well as plants during the day due to photosynthesis (hope the spelling is right). I have a new pond so my lilies are just starting to grow. I have lots of anacharis, pennywart, parrot feather, water lettuce, hyachinths.
The pond gets full sun all day so I can't do much about the temp till the lilies get big. I created flower circles in the pond with tubing and a submerged weight. I stuffed the circle full of water lettuce and hyacinths.
I will include a picture took today to give you an idea of the plant to pond ratio I have.
The reason for all the panic is my fish are jumping in the water today. I read on websites that is an indication that they are experiencing poor water quality. I have never seen them do this so it was definately a change in behavior.
I added a pump to the middle of the pond that so that the water circulates better around the edges that draws water fromt he deep part.
The nitrites and amonia tested perfect.
Any input would be appeciated. So much info out there but I thought I would check with you guys.
Thanks so much!

Field studies of forest gravel-bed rivers in northwestern Washington and southeastern Alaska demonstrate that bed-surface grain size is responsive to hydraulic roughness caused by bank irregularities, bars, and wood debris. We evaluate textural response by comparing reach-average median grain size (D50) to that predicted from the total bank-full boundary shear stress (т0bf), representing a hypothetical reference condition of low hydraulic roughness. For a given т0bf, channels with progressively greater hydraulic roughness have systematically finer bed surfaces, presumably due to reduced bed shear stress, resulting in lower channel competence and diminished bed load transport capacity, both of which promote textural fining. In channels with significant hydraulic roughness, observed values D50 can be up to 90% smaller than those predicted from т0bf. We find that wood debris plays an important role at our study sites, not only providing hydraulic roughness but also influencing pool spacing, frequency of textural patches, and the amplitude and wavelength of bank and bar topography and their consequent roughness. Our observations also have biological implications. We find that textural fining due to hydraulic roughness can create usable salmonid spawning gravels in channels that otherwise would be too coarse.

Subject: A.Word.A.Day--eisegesis
eisegesis (eye-si-JEE-sis) noun, plural eisegeses (-seez)
An interpretation, especially of Scripture, that expresses the interpreter's own ideas, bias, or the like, rather than the meaning of the text.
[From Greek eisegesis, equivalent to eis- into + (h)ege- (stem of hegeisthai to lead) + -sis.]
Not to be confused with 'exegesis':
The science of textual interpretation, usually referring specifically to the Bible. The term "biblical exegesis" basically means "the process of interpreting the Bible." The specific techniques employed in the exegesis of Scripture are usually referred to as "hermeneutics."

Maikeru just watched in silence as the kid (Koi) threw his shirt to the ground, then shot at it with an odd looking gun. Besides some cool sound and light effects, nothing happened.
Maybe they are just toys...
At that moment, odd laser-like lights emanated from the ball, creating the figure of a man. As soon as it was done transferring him in, the man started pointing his gun at people in the demanding to know what was going on.
"Just calm down man. We're all just as confused as you..." Maikeru told the man with the gun, holding his hands up, and taking a few steps backwards.
Great. Just what this room needs. An idiot with a loaded gun.
To make matter worse, one of the girls exploded, insulting and yelling at everyone. Maikeru turned his attention to the man with the gun, hoping he would calm don and lower the gun.

Charter Certification
[A Doug Adams fan, I see.]
I have taken both US Sailing and ASA certification courses and they appear to be roughly equivalent, although each institution, school, and instructor will have specific agenda. To answer your specific questions, do a search for the US Sailing and ASA Web sites and read the info they have on the various certification levels.
In locals waters, someone with a 101 competency "might" be allowed to anchor/moor/dock overnight in a small boat (e.g. 24 footer). As stated, night sailing is almost always prohibited. For larger boats (32'' and up, for example), the charter company will likely want much more experience/training.
If, like me, you were/are not able to get big boat experience with other competent sailors, then I highly recommend good instruction. In order to skipper a larger charter boat for a day or a week (even in a benign sailing ground like the BVIs), most charter companies want to see either a fair amount of experience in boats of the size you want to charter, or at least some formal training up to the 104 level. Of course, I have some evidence and lots of anecdotes that a valid credit card is the major crtierion they use (especially for the smaller, hungrier companies).
When you think that you are taking charge of a $100-300K boat (depending on size and condition) and the safety of your crew, you really don''t want to just "squeak by" in terms of competence, IMHO. If all you have is a week of 103/104 training aboard a 35 foot (plus of minus) boat, you still have just scratched the surface of your lifelong learning process to be a good sailor (again IMHO). The mechanics of handling the boat are one thing, but developing good judgement is another. Sometimes you have to have a few uncomfortable situations to realize that a particular method or attitude is not advisable. We learn from mistakes, and we have to hope that they are not costly ones.
I''ll tell you that my weeklong 103/104 training prepared me very well for the 45'' sloop I chartered for my first bareboat charter last year. I''ll be learning for the rest of my life, but it gave me the foundation to build on and we had a fantastic time.
Good luck.

Whiteflies on gardenia
Hi everyone...I have a large gardenia that is being completely swarmed by whiteflies. I have been using insecticide soap the past few weeks and that just seems to be making them angry as they are flying around more. I do think it is working to some degree, but the bugs are now flying around to nearby bushes. I am concerned they too will now get it. Can this gardenia be saved or should I just take it out in order to save the neighboring bushes? Thanks!
Well, I gotta disagree with purple on part of her answer. Gardenias are so susceptible to whitefly infestations that mother nature cannot fix the problem once it gets out of control.
Is this population so bad that black sooty mold has started to cover the leaves?
A heavy (very heavy) infestation can cause such decline that the plant can die. Though whiteflies have plenty of natural enemies, they might not be much help. But, there are a few things you can do to control the pests without doing much damage to the beneficials.
First of all, the adults and the disc-like nymphs and pupae and the eggs are ALL located on the underside of the leaves. Any overspraying is virtually useless, except in getting the few adults that flit out. Nymhs feed heavily. Insecticidal soaps have no residual effect nor are they helpful in controlling the eggs and nymphs. They can, however, harm beneficials.
I've had very good results with horticultural oil sprays, applied several times over many weeks TO THE UNDERSIDE OF THE FOLIAGE. If you can't do that, just forget it. The oil smothers the eggs, nymphs, and pupae. If you use neem oil occasionally as one of the oils, you will also add the qualities of a growth regulator as well as oil...with very little damage to beneficials.
Since I cannot see how bad your problem is, I can't suggest that you need to go to plan "B" or even just yank the plant. They will find other plants to feed on, but not usually to the extent that they will on gardenias..
The only plant I use a commercial spray on is my gardenia for the whiteflies...Bayer Advanced Lawn and Garden Multi-Insect Killer. I don't see it listed on their page. It looks like the 2-In-1 Systemic Rose & Flower Care would work.

Thanks, Rhizo! The wisdom of someone with decades of experience cannot be denied. I wouldn't presume to know as much about pests or Gardenias.
As a general rule though, it seems that something would have to cause the 'denia (or any plant) to be unhealthy in general to be so vulnerable to a visit by pests, like not enough sun. I've seen various critters visit the 'denias in my yard and the abandoned yard next door but the plants never seem much bothered by it.
When it was really dry a couple summers ago, the big one in my yard got a lot of sticky black stuff on its' leaves and had whiteflies and aphids on it. I blasted it with the hose, trimmed a lot of material out of the middle, and moved the mulch/leaves away from the trunk a bit more, gave it a drink. It soon looked fine. The shrubs next door went through the same symptoms but of course nobody did anything to them. They also recovered well. This is one of those tough plants I see commonly thriving when abandoned in the unfortunately high percentage of abandoned properties around here.
I'm wondering if Namarie's shrub is new, or if the garden is generally new. OTOH, it could be quite old and have gotten more shaded by enlarging nearby trees. A pic of the area, or just knowing what is thriving nearby might help determine why this shrub's gotten unhealthy. Maybe just too much cold muck this spring?
Not that a treatment might not be necessary to save it at this point, I'm just left wondering about the bigger picture. Rhizo knows, but you should know I'm in the camp where I'd rather let a plant die and find something else that would thrive instead of getting into the chemical/trying to control nature thing. Just the way I roll. If it can't thrive on its' own after whatever coddling I can provide the first year, there are plenty of plants that can and will. So ignore me if that's horrifying to you, I won't mind.
There are some plants that are simply genetically predisposed to certain problems....no matter what. Keeping them as healthy as possible allows them to recover faster! And I'm all for yanking any plant that becomes a major disease or insect problem.
One of the many steps in Integrated Pest Management, and my personal favorite, is to practice wise plant selection. I've avoided bringing plants with known susceptibilities into my or my clients' properies. That kind of research us easy to do, no matter what kind of plant.....tree, shrub, veggie, annual, or perennial.
If I had a customer who really and truly wanted a gardenia (who can blame them), I gave them a bottle of horticultural oil as a gift.
By following good practices and smart plant selection, we can avoid to a great extent some serious problems. Then, should something become overwhelmed anyway....OFF WITH THEIR HEADS, is my motto.

"An enthralling story about a depressing topic"
Among the top three
The honesty of the character's thoughts and dialogue, and the way that the story doesn't end in a Hollywood-sweet conclusion.
don't know - didn't read the book. It's helpful to hear an evocative voice recite the dialogue, I suppose.
Many - the realistic approach of death that cancer patients are forced to have was very well drawn, and so were the moments of joy.
I was hesitant to read a Young Adult book whose main characters are cancer patients, but I really feel that I gained perspective and understanding from it -- and oddly enjoyed reading even the most painful parts. I gave it to a 30-year-old friend of mine who has just learned of the re-occurrence of his cancer, and then fretted that he would find it patronizing or simplistic or just not true. But he loved the book too.
"Sweet story but I expected more"
I just wish there was a bit more substance to it
Yes. The writing is engaging and evocative.
The sound of his voice. He is very expressive, too.
No, we read it for our book group and talked about this point, but I wasn't particularly inspired.
"gripping psychological thriller"
The story is deftly told, alternating points of view, so that you are never sure which character is telling the truth and which one is lying. The narrators do an excellent job of making both characters sympathetic so that you are constantly on edge about what happens next.
see above
can't say without spoiling any of the many surprises
You never really know the one you love

While the house burned early Tuesday, the truck sat in the snow outside the home of the band's mechanic. The volunteer fire department in nearby Loon Lake didn't respond, because service to the reserve was cut weeks earlier over unpaid bills.
The discussion was about who had the greater responsibility for the deaths, the band which didn't pay its bills or train its own firefighters, or the Loon Lake volunteer fire department who went back to sleep when called out to the fire.
I don't know the answer. But I do know that somebody has to be the adult here -- maybe the provincial government rural municipality department, maybe the FSIN, somebody -- to step up when relationships between bands and nearby towns deteriorate.

"The bottom line is: Two children died and the adults have to sort it out," Bob Pringle, Saskatchewan's children's advocate, said in an interview Thursday. "It clearly has to stop and it's not going to stop unless we do something differently."
But doesn't it always seems that somebody has to die before we are willing to do things differently?Cathie from Canadahttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6571052.post-60164848691625615632015-02-11T12:01:00.001-06:002015-02-11T12:01:19.098-06:00Brer JustinCanada's commentariat is going crazy over what a VERY BAD decision Justin Trudeau has made in welcoming Eve Adams to the party.
But it wasn't Adams that Trudeau wanted, it was Dimitri Soudas. The commentariat is also deriding this choice, but Soudas will frighten the Harper Cons the way no mere MP ever could. As John Ivison put it:
He knows where the bodies are buried because he buried many of them himself.
Trudeau is crazy like a fox...

For the life of me, I cannot see how Harper will be tainted by this. Basically, Harper and his aides can argue that they did the right thing for Canadians by firing Duffy and Wallin as soon as their misdeeds were revealed.
Yes, of course, it makes no sense at all:
Defence lawyer Donald Bayne made much of the fact Mr. Duffy is charged with bribery in connection with the $90,000 he received from Mr. Wright, while the former Harper aide was not charged for providing the money.
"I am sure that I am not the only Canadian who will now wonder openly how what was not a crime or a bribe when Nigel Wright paid it on his own initiative became, however, mysteriously, a crime or bribe when received by Senator Duffy," the lawyer said. "The evidence will show that Senator Duffy did not want to participate in Nigel Wright's and the PMO's repayment scenario, which they concocted for purely political purposes."
But conveniently, Wright isn't on trial for anything.
So whether Harper knew or approved the payment in advance is not actually relevant to Duffy receiving it.
Given the long reach of the Harper PMO, there is no reason why anybody would want to testify to this effect except maybe Duffy himself -- and he would have done the Big Reveal already if he had had any evidence.Cathie from Canadahttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6571052.post-51392678300024079712015-01-27T12:41:00.001-06:002015-01-27T12:41:14.279-06:00Tennis, anyone?One of the great things about being retired is that I can stay up til 3 am watching the Australian Open, on TV or just tracking scores on my tablet -- the "big name" matchew are televised, but few of the doubles matches are broadcast on TSN, even with their extra channels now.
In fact, TSN kept saying they couldn't get any television coverage of Pospisil's earlier single and doubles matches, even though later they did show some highlights. His last match, which was televised, was far from his best, unfortunately.
But finally I don't have to care whether some sporting event is going on half a world away.
Now that we have a larger TV, and I have learned how the games are scored, I find tennis fascinating to watch.
Next, if only I could understand soccer....

We have had a difficult fall and winter due to dealing with the illness and long term care of a relative, including cleaning out a two-bedroom apartment, and it was even more complicated because we needed to travel to another city to deal with it. But everything is handled now, at last.
As a result of this experience, my husband and I have adopted a firm resolution: we will clean up after ourselves.
We will not leave a tangled mountain of stuff for our kids to have to sort out, clean up, or throw away. Deciding what to do with the furniture and so forth was hard enough, but then came the closets and the shelves and the drawers -- old photos and pictures, mementos of trips that nobody can remember, clothes unworn for twenty years, fabric for projects unstarted, Christmas cards a decade old, chequebooks and statements for accounts long-closed, stacked sets of forgotten linens and towels, dishes and cookware last used before the turn of the century, tchotchkes and geegaws and ornaments of all kinds.
We promise we will never say "but its still good" or "maybe I will use this again someday" or "we can't throw this out until we check with ...." -- any of these are a license to put something back on a shelf and never pick it up again. We are going to get rid of our extra stuff come hell or high water -- come to think of it, high water might be the answer!

In this Toronto Star article, she sounds like an entitled and egotistical nut case:

...Madame Justice Suzanne Côté battled five years with Revenu Québec, the provincial tax agency, after she claimed annual expenses of $50,000 to buy work clothes for each of three years from 2004 to 2006. During that same period, the top-flight Montreal lawyer claimed more than $25,000 in expenses related to personal care, as well as other miscellaneous items.
Court documents show that Côté made claims for tax deductions totalling $204,685 over those three years and that those claims were rejected by the Quebec tax agency.
...
Revenu Québec noted in a statement of defence that it began auditing Côté's expense claims in 2007 and that she refused on four separate occasions to provide receipts or other documents that would justify her claims.
Fighting a five-year legal battle? To defend a $200,000 deduction? For clothing?
Apparently the usual black legal gowns that lawyers wear in court cost about $800. How many did she buy? Or does she think the Quebec bar also requires its high-powered lawyers to wear fur coats and Armani suits?
Of course, all the receipt documentation has now been withdrawn so we -- the public who will be paying her salary for the next four decades -- aren't going to be allowed to know exactly what items of clothing or grooming she thinks she should be entitled to deduct from her taxable income.
Oh well, if her bills get to be too high, we can always cut back on payments to veterans...Cathie from Canadahttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6571052.post-64642442753189729512014-12-15T00:54:00.001-06:002014-12-15T01:06:21.545-06:00Oh, you shouldn't have!Just a little bloggy roundup of some really bad gift ideas from here and there on the web.

Ann Telnaes writes

White Americans don't understand the racial profiling black Americans deal with on a daily basis.
The New York Times quotes protestors across the country saying "No justice. No peace. No racist police." Yes, they're finally calling police racist, in spite of the pearl-clutchers at Fox News.
As Charles Blow writes

Racism is a real thing, not because the "racial grievance industry" refuses to release it, but because society has failed to eradicate it.
Racism is interpersonal and structural; it is current and historical; it is explicit and implicit; it is articulated and silent.
Biases are pervasive, but can also be spectral: moving in and out of consideration with little or no notice, without leaving a trace, even without our own awareness. Sometimes the only way to see bias is in the aggregate, to stop staring so hard at a data point and step back so that you can see the data set. Only then can you detect the trails in the dust. Only then can the data do battle with denial.. . .
The activism that followed Ferguson and that is likely to be intensified by what happened in New York isn't about making a martyr of "Big Mike" or "Big E" as much as it is about making the most of a moment, counternarratives notwithstanding.
In this most trying of moments, black men, supported by the people who understand their plight and feel their pain, are saying to the police culture of America, "We can't breathe!"

Two long reads from Gawker, of all places, on racism and police: Why Should Anyone "Respect" the Law?:

How can you ask people to respect the law when the law does not respect them? How can you remind them of the importance of the process when Missouri and New York are reminding us the process is hopelessly broken?
There is a troubling trend in American thought that holds we should "respect" cops as we might "respect" venomous snakes: by staying away from them, by avoiding eye contact, by not making threatening gestures.
Can You Breathe? Reflections on Non-Indictments, Activism and Black Life

It's hard to continue to care. For many of us, by the time we heard the non-indictment of Garner come down we were numb. Some of us got numb when we saw loved ones beaten within an inch of their lives by cops and realized that no one cared—not the grand jury, not internal affairs, not the mayor, not even the politician who promised to get tough on corruption. Some of us have been numbed by what we have access to—hey, who doesn't want to get that 60-inch flatscreen TV on discount? Some of us are numb because the cost of caring is reckoning with the vulnerability we all must come to grips with—you may have three or four college degrees but your skin remains a target. We've got to care enough to fight.
We've got to fight the system. We've got to struggle with ourselves. Love ourselves enough to correct ourselves. Love each other enough to remind each other that we got this. That our ancestors have already showed us ways and walk with us now. We've got to love so that we can see a new day. When I look at my daughter in resting slumber, I get haunted with visions of the reality that she will face. I get scared. I get angry. I fight that with ancestral love. I fight it with knowledge that if we wake up, nothing can put us to sleep. I fight because I love her.

An aide to Prime Minister Stephen Harper has taken over as chief of staff to embattled Veterans Affairs Minister Julian Fantino as opposition MPs call for his resignation.
...Fantino, who has appeared chippy in his dealings with some veterans. In February, he was forced to apologize for his snub of veterans upset by the closing of regional Veterans Affairs offices. More recently, he was chased down a hall by a woman crying out to him, seeking help for her husband suffering from post-traumatic stress. Fantino didn't stop to talk with her.
Fantino is the face of the problem but the problems run deeper into the bureaucracy that has an insurance company mindset in dealing with veterans who need help, said retired colonel Pat Stogran
Actually, my husband worked forty years with insurance companies -- any company that treated people like this would have gone out of business. And a CEO who acted like Fantino would have been fired long ago.Cathie from Canadahttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6571052.post-28711065978425146872014-11-30T12:19:00.001-06:002014-11-30T12:32:02.730-06:00Taken to the cleaners in #Ferguson

Tabitha Southey has a brilliant column in the Globe and Mail Hey, white person, imagine if you were stopped as though you were black :

...Let's imagine, for example, you're being stopped and questioned by dry cleaners, and see how that goes.
Dry cleaners approach you often. You get to know the drill. "It's linen, dry cleaner," you say politely, as your mother taught you to do. "Natural fibres do wrinkle; it'll relax in the heat. You don't need to press this. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm late for a meeting."
It starts to get to you after a while, white people – a short while, I imagine, knowing you as I do. "No, I don't need to come in," you snap one day, upon your third grilling that month. "It's hand wash, dry flat. I read the label, I know what I'm doing here, I got this one."
Yet, still they stop and ask, "Do you starch that collar?" or demand to see your dry-cleaning ticket." They check your pockets and when you complain about it, people tell you that's their job.
Now, suppose on top of everything else, when you do go to the dry cleaners, when they're needed, their response time is terrible. There's no same-day service for you, white people, even when you've a wedding to go to and you ask the local dry cleaner nicely. It's like you don't pay the same dollar as everyone else for the service.
Imagine you're told that things will get better, yet still those dry cleaners remark on your pleats as you walk down the street, as if just being on the street were an issue. Maybe white people, while being grilled, you see black people walking by – the status of the lining of their smart fall coats unchallenged.
I know you would get angry, white people.
...and maybe black people would then say, "If you weren't out on the dirty streets, you wouldn't need a dry cleaner, but there you are, making trouble."
Some white guys would tip a Volvo during one of these protests, as if their team lost the Cup.
Perhaps that car lit on fire would be virtually all that got reported. A car burning in the street unattended for three hours sparks more network hand-wringing than a black boy's body left for four.
"Look at all that grey smoke," non-white pundits would say, gravely. "The dry-cleaning bill is going to be huge."

Now Veterans Affairs minister Julian Fantino is claiming that the Harper Con's "balanced" budgets where not achieved at the expense of our veterans. He is minister-splaining the government budget to us ignorant plebs:

Fantino said claims that the unused funds were a strategy to balance the budget are false.
"The funding is allocated and if it's not spent it's recycled back into continuing programs and services for veterans. It's not lost money," said Fantino.
He called it a technical budget process that does not hamper services and programs for veterans.
"If I can put it bluntly, this is a technical kind of to and fro in the budgeting process of government," he said.
Oh, sure, that makes sense.

Just a note that I'm sorry for my silence this month.
Some family stuff is keeping me busy, but also I am being distracted by technology -- I now have a little tablet computer and I find I am using it more often during the day to check email and surf the web, and it is not set up to let me also do blockquotes and blog posts, etc.

One of the basic principles of procedural fairness is that accusations cannot be taken seriously if they are anonymous. An accuser has to be willing to come forward before the charge can be dealt with and accused can be required to answer to it.
Imagine if your career could be ruined by an anonymous charge of assault, and you were not permitted to know who made the accusation or where the accusation had come from?
That's a kangaroo court.
So Trudeau was informed about the misconduct charges against two Liberal MPs late last week, then he acted immediately to suspend them.
And now Mulcair and NDP whip Turmel are "shocked" that Trudeau "went public" against the wishes of the alleged victims?
Was Trudeau supposed to just keep quiet and do nothing?
Is that what the NDP would have done?
Is that what they did?Cathie from Canadahttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6571052.post-22223171885136962882014-10-27T01:51:00.001-06:002014-10-27T01:53:25.249-06:00Follow-upJust to follow up on my previous post, Annie Laurie provides links to discuss the Terrorist or Head Case? question.
She notes this article from The New Yorker The Line Between Terrorism and Mental Illness

In a world where "clash of civilizations" rhetoric is pervasive, it is possible that radical Islam offers the same appeal to some unstable individuals that anarchism had for Leon Czolgosz, who killed President William McKinley in 1901, and that Marxism had for Lee Harvey Oswald. If you are alienated from the existing social order, the possibility of joining, even as a "lone wolf" killer, any larger social movement that promises to overturn that society may be attractive. For a person radicalized in this manner, the fantasy of political violence is a chance to gain agency, make history, and be part of something larger.
She also posts some off-the-wall opinions from, who else, The War Nerd.

These guys are surplus, after all, surplus males in an era doing some fairly frantic tinkering with that whole concept. The best way to deal with them is let them take one for the team they've talked themselves into joining. ...
Islamic State is such a perfect organ for draining the surplus reactionary-male rage from a certain demographic of the secular West ... a sort of global kidney, drawing in and filtering out a pool of potentially troublesome young males. And all done far away, in the bowels of Syria. But only if places like Canada have enough cold-blooded sense to let this piece of luck keep doing its job. And that means only one thing: business class upgrades for every male under 25 with a record of jihadist rants and a one-way ticket to Istanbul.
And by the way, we're going on holidays this week, so I won't be able to post anything or even check on the blog until next weekend. Happy Halloween! Cathie from Canadahttp://firstname.lastname@example.com

Nicely left out was the LEGAL p2p traffic.
really?That old chestnut?
2 recommendations
Absolutely. But how much P2P foreign TV is legal and non infringing? And how significant a percentage of internet traffic is it, compared to file sharing for copyright infringement?
I'm on Comcast. How do I upload P2P foreign TV from my home in the USA? I want to upload something, I have no use for it right now and this sounds interesting. Does it come in the mail on DVD? Do I need a C-band satellite? How exactly do I upload foreign television on a Comcast network?
I see, said the blind man.
Yeah keep pushing that same old bullshit.The fact is that most P2P traffic is infringing. Legal content is in the minority by far.

The carbon storage regulatory (Csr) system is a complex network controlling various phenotypes in many eubacteria. So far, the external conditions by which the system is regulated are poorly understood. Here we show that the expression of the two noncoding small RNAs CsrB and CsrC in Escherichia coli is strongly increased in cultures grown in minimal medium. Addition of tryptone, casamino acids or a mixture of amino acids to a culture grown in minimal medium led to a rapid reduction in the levels of CsrB. Based on this we propose that the expression of the Csr sRNAs is controlled by the amino acid availability in the growth medium.

Is there a convenient analog of
std::bitset<> that's dynamically sizable at instantiation time, but avoids the extra allocation required by
You can create dynamically sized bit sets easily in C by doing something like :
typedef struct { node_t node; block_t bits[0]; } node_bitset_t;
p = (node_bitset_t *)malloc( (sizeof(node_t) + sizeof(block_t)*blocks) * array_size);
You could do this using
std::vector<std::bitset<bits>> only if you know
bits at compile time. If you use
std::vector<boost::dynamic_bitset<>>, then you'll see an extra allocator call. Is there a compromise that achieves the above C code's balance?
You might for-example have some custom allocator for the std::vector<...> that leaves some extra space after each
boost::dynamic_bitset<> and allocates
m_block there, although that'll probably still cost you the pointer for

What it takes "McDonald's doesn't confer success on anyone. It takes guts and staying power to make it with one of our restaurants. A total committment of personal time and energy is the most important thing. You must be willing to work hard and concentrate exclusively on the challenge of operating that restaurant. Ray Kroc, Founder
Franchising Notable Facts Over 2,400 Owner/Operators in the U.S. Owning over 13,000 restaurants in the U.S. 40% of Owner/Operators are women and minorities.
McDonald's & You "Planning the decor was a very exciting part of opening my restaurant. I was able to use my own ideas to create the type of environment I felt was right for my restaurant. Even the little things matter for instance, we chose light colors to give the restaurant lots of light. Throughout the process, the regional staff was available to advise me and answer any questions I had. Oscar Perretta, Chicago, Illinois
Are you ready for something completely different? Something that changes the way you think about a night out? A concept that has redefined the art of dessert creation and cocktail mixology?

Corporate Store Revenues have averaged $52,847.85 per month. Pretty remarkable considering the locations are open only from 4pm each day and typically only operate 5 days per week. This delivers a power 74% Gross Profit while considering a 14% Rent expense and a 26.5% allocation for wages providing a 26% EBITDA. The results have been staggering beyond even the founder's expectations.
Lacey Doherty's love of desserts and husband Ciaran's love of business lead them to follow their passion and open The Middle Spoon. Before opening, award winning bartender Jenner Cormier joined the team to strengthen the beverage program. With a focus on quality The Middle Spoon was very well received. After some deliberation it was decided that due to the emerging nature of the concept, franchising was the best avenue for growth.

With kids come parents, friends and family, and that's one of the reasons Menchie's does so well in the marketplace; we appeal to all ages and all walks of life.
What makes Menchie's different?What makes Menchie's stand out from the crowd is our devotion to providing an excellent customer experience. We don't just serve up a high-quality, great tasting frozen yogurt, we serve up smiles. Dunkin Donuts serves its customers a great cup of coffee. Starbucks serves a comfortable place for a community to socialize. Menchie's thinks and acts like Starbucks.
Our CEO, Amit Kleinberger, who has been at the helm of the company since 2008, says that Menchie's & quot;is not in the business of frozen yogurt. We are in the business of making people smile. And that's what prospective franchisees need to understand before they choose a frozen yogurt franchise.& quot;

Hollywood A-listers like Reese Witherspoon, Ryan Seacrest, Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez have all been seen mixing up their favorites in our shops, and we've been featured in national media including People magazine, The Wall Street Journal, Fox Business and MSNBC.
Hula Dog® is a unique Hawaiian experience. In a specially baked, bun sized loaf of bread we pierce a "Puka" from one end through most of the length of the bun. Hula Dog reinvents the identity of the American hot dog.
The sweet essence of local fruits is combined with the mellow warmth of our garlic, lemon sauces to contrast with the savory taste of a polish sausage. Therefore, not only do we provide a hotdog that not only presents a totally new taste sensation, but one that must be held differently too. In addition, we employ our own uniquely designed equipment to toast a Puka (hole) in the bread and keep the polish sausages separate from the veggies. With bright colorful murals, and painted tables & chairs, we present our dinning experience in a tropical Bamboo little hut setting to follow the idea of a Hawaiian influence in our products. In this we hope to reach the world that our hotdogs have a Hawaiian accent.
At Hula Dog Hawaiian Style Hot Dogs we take our mission to deliver a unique hot dog experience very seriously. Hula Dog is a new power in comfort food that will forever be linked to Hawaii. For many it is a fond memory of their visit, for others it is an opportunity to learn and grow by a solid work ethic and community service. We apply a special focus on training young people to work as a team and to be aware of the needs of their communities. Hula Dog® is about the basics of friendly people who provide good service and are cheerful and fun to be around. We care about the nurture and sustainability of the planet and try to implement policies that reflect 'Green' virtues in our standard operating procedures. Caring about the neighborhood and 'doing one's best' is a down home quality that we believe in.
Therefore, we have redefined the basic idea of the American hotdog tradition into one of tropical translation that celebrates the splendor of the Hawaiian Islands. The buns we use are unlike anything else known in the industry and the style of our shops is to reflect an appreciation for all that is good about Hawaii. So we strive to make our hot dogs memorable, our shops nostalgic of 'Old Hawaii' and our service casual but excellent. In all that we do, we seek to reflect the ambiance of the islands through our presentation, so that the customer may not only feel satisfied, but transformed by the simple charm of all that is Hula Dog.
