With a slow recovery, many swing states have elected GOP governors and legislatures. There has been severe buyers remorse in most of them lagging behind the country in job creation, workers rights taken away, voting registration becoming harder and their war on women. Gov. Walker is being recalled, Kasich had GOP overreach overturned by referendum. FL, WI has had near the bottom in job creation, VA, PA had ultrasounds making decision for a woman about her own body. Gov. Snyder told people your vote for local officials mean nothing in America. All have said assemblies (unions) have no right to petition the government (no collective bargaining).
As far as the election and whom will win swing states some links.

The Native Indians (or indigenous population if you like) died from measles, smallpox, influenza, typhus, and tuberculosis etc. which wiped out an estimated 90% of the population because of a lack of immunity - this is called the Great Dying.
That is not to say that they were not killed by newcomers and herded onto reservations. My own family comes from Watseka Indian Reservation. -
I too am Native American - Little Traverse Bay Band of Odawa Indians - my mother is full blooded and so are her parents - both of them - I will be voting for the President - for my people

I said the same thing about Bush and Obama. But the duds seem to keep reigning. They voted Bush in twice so I guess another term for Odudder just makes sense!!!
We're in half agreement. One cannot expect anyone to wave a magic wand and undo eight yrs of damage and incompetence in just three.

- +5The truth is the president is leading in most of the swing state polls. Truth is GDP and the Stock Market has grown, so much for killing capitalism. 12 years of Dubya tax cuts, where are the jobs? Dem presidents for the past 40 years have produced more jobs and economic growth than GOP presidents. The trickle down no regulation policy has seen S&Ls fail, the 90-91 recession and the housing meltdown that lost 8 million jobs. Doubling down on the disease as is Romney/Ryan budgets is not the cure and will send us backward. Forward is what happens under president Obama.
+3ok, first off the GDP DID NOT grow, its stalled at 1.8% growth.
second off our national debt exceeds our annual GDP.
third off, our stock market has a minimal impact on job growth if the GDP is stalled.
fourth off, economists are already predicting a collapse, and wall street is poised to lay off 21,000 jobs, almost the amount of the 2008 collapse(28,000)
lastly, the CBO(non-partisan congressional office) confirms that obamas policies are hurting job growth. - +4The stock market will have even less impact on jobs with the GOP allowing foreign income not to be taxed if the trillions on corporate books are invested in T-bills matching that income. Cutting trillions from the have nots giving it to Walton billionaires under the Ryan budget reduces demand and sends jobs to China. Your CBO statement is BS. The only valid non propaganda link was USA today, which if you look deeper will find existing policies before Obama are the bulk of the deficit. Your figure of 1.8% is BS too with an average closer to 3% for all of Obama's presidency since his first signed budget.
+5HAHAHAHAHAH WIKIPEDIA!? try actual sources. ok. first off. here is the white house GDP report:
GDP (the total amount of goods and services produced in the country) grew at a 2.2 percent annual rate in the first quarter of this year
CBO is an offfical government report. take it or take the denial. like I said: the truth shall set you free. - +2Can you say BEA is non-partisan children? Your side are the ones that posted 1.8%, you posted stalled which happened after shellackers said they would lay off hundreds of thousands. You changed after fact was presented. Prove the Wiki link incorrect, I believe the data will bear it out. P.S. Wiki will note non-verified links.
It certainly didn't take long for you to begin the name calling, did it? That must be all you have to offer.
YOU are LYING. I call it when I see it. Been to the grocery store lately? Put gas in your car lately?
The economy SUCKS and 0WEbama could have focused on the economy instead he focused on a entitlement before anything else. -
+1How are grocery or gasoline prices the president's fault?
He has focused on the economy. ARRA stimulated the economy, and saved and created more than five million jobs. What do you want him to do? He cut taxes for the middle class and extended the payroll tax holiday. He won't cut taxes for the billionaires, because that would have no positive effect at all. -
You obviously do not have a clue about economics.
How will Americans benefit from 0WEbamas 15 FAILED 'green' energy taxpayer funded campaign bundlers bankruptcies that wasted 10 BILLION DOLLARS? -
NICE SIDE STEP. I figured you would find some leftist way to spin the question. I am actually disappointed over it because I could have used a good laugh.

Hi all, just thought i'd point you towards an app that uses the touch buttons by the bottom of the phone as a notification light Market Link Works for a bunch of LG phones (dunno why they don't put notification lights on their phones). Works for me using a Sprint Marquee for texts, emails, etc.
The only thing I dislike about this app is for charging it only uses the Home LED and for Notifications it uses just the Search LED.. No way to use all of them or adjust the touch pulse options on this phone. Though it is better than nothing. And it doesn't seem to conflict with the Custom ROM I have like other apps have..
This is for the person that wanted to use the flash as an notification. FlashBlink Delivers Camera Flash Call Notification | xda-developers edit: nevermind when i tried it it didnt work
I agree though, I do not see why LG couldn't have used the lower four LED's as Notification Indicators. I guess what he originally posted will be as close as that gets, haha.
I tried this but it wouldn't work consistently. Either it didn't pick up the notifications, or the light would come on but then shut off after a few seconds. Tried the 1.2.1 version too - market is at 1.2.2 I think. Are you using sprint google voice integration? I think that's part of the problem for me...had to have it watch some stuff via accessibility since messaging interacts with google voice. Not sure though. Also, it seems to think my LS855 is a P970 from the menu item that displays that. Is that the case for you? I installed this previously when it didn't officially have LS855 support (didn't work), and I wonder if that instantiated some files that have it now thinking this is a P970. I looked at some logs and the source a bit but don't have much of a clue as I'm not familiar with android development. Seems to me there is an event after the notification that seems to be interpreted as "screen on" by this app, so it then shuts off the notification.

Brandi Glanville who?
LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian put their war of words with his ex on the back burner momentarily on Friday night.
The couple dined at LAVO Italian Restaurant in Las Vegas with Eddie's kids Mason and Jake and a group of ten family members.
The group enjoyed a selection of signature dishes including the Kobe Meatball before heading to LeAnn's concert. LeAnn and Eddie were spotted sharing a few private kisses throughout the dinner and posed up for this snap.
The only problem with this picture? Brandi has been lashing out at Rimes on Twitter regarding the way she views the boys to be her sons, so the thought of the couple playing happy families again, is sure to infuriate the "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star.

The real story of steam power LbNA # 6249
Owner | Lady Prisspott |
Placed Date | Jul 3 2003 |
County | mystery |
Location | ???, WV |
Boxes | 1 |
Found By | ??? |
Last Update | Oct 11 2008 |
Who invented the first steamboat? Robert Fulton, right? Wrong! Find a monument to the maker of the first steamboat. Go up the steps to the monument and around to the back. Youll see a walkway leading into the woods. Follow the walkway until it ends. At the end of the walkway turn right onto the path that follows the stone wall to the right. Two Hemlock tress should be on the other side of the wall as you begin down the path. Stay on the path to where it crosses another path and go straight. If you went the correct way you should go down a little hill and at the bottom see a bowl like depression on the left. Standing in the center of this little depression, look ahead at a bearing of 85˚ to a large rock. Go to that rock. In a crevice is a lovely delft jar.

Academic Fraud: A new ranking of U.S. presidents has been released. No. 15 three spots higher than Ronald Reagan is a chief executive who's been in office less than 18 months. This would be funny if it weren't so sad.
The list was compiled by the Siena College Research Institute, which asked 238 "presidential scholars" to rank the 43 presidents in 20 categories. FDR finished first, buoyed by a No. 1 rating in "handling the economy." Theodore Roosevelt was second, then Lincoln, Washington and Jefferson. Rounding out the top 10: Madison, Monroe, Wilson, Truman and Eisenhower.
It's in the second 10, however, that things get funny. Barack Obama and his record-low approval ratings, tottering economy and feckless foreign policy somehow end up 15th while Reagan, who ended the Cold War, turned the U.S. economy around and set the stage for 20 years of unprecedented prosperity, is 18th.
John Kennedy, Bill Clinton and Lyndon Johnson also outrank the Gipper, who scored highest on "luck" and lowest on "intelligence ."
The bias in Siena's latest rankings begins with the choice of categories. Some are legitimate: economic stewardship, foreign policy accomplishment, domestic achievement, leadership ability, court appointments, integrity. But others are simply asinine.
Besides luck, "family background, education and experience" are dubious measures. Here too, Reagan ranked low (34th). No getting around that Eureka College degree. But so did George W. Bush (36th), despite his Yale B.A., Harvard MBA and a father who ranked 11th. Overall, Bushes 41 and 43 finished 22nd and 39th.
And while ability to communicate can be helpful, it's not necessarily a key to greatness or even competence. "Ability to compromise" can be a sign of weakness or lack of principle, and "party leadership" doesn't mean much if the party is led in the wrong direction.
Opinions on "handling the economy" are particularly interesting.
Here, Reagan ranks a mediocre 21st, lower than Obama, who stands 17th based on the bang-up job he's done so far, and well behind LBJ (10th), JFK (7th) and despite two recessions in less than eight years Harry Truman (6th).
Clinton stands a lofty third on economic stewardship, behind the two Roosevelts, and far ahead of Calvin Coolidge (30th), who only presided over the boom of the Roaring '20s.
Clinton is also considered by the scholars as our ninth-most-intelligent president, a notch behind Obama. Reagan is the seventh least intelligent, two spots behind Gerald Ford, and George W. Bush is second from the bottom in the brain department.
We are not making any of this up. You can see all the ratings at our Web site (ibdeditiorials.com). Why, if they're so silly, are we mentioning them at all? Because they're another example of the sorry state of American education. These people are teaching our kids.

Sorry to be a buzzkill here but there are MANY people allergic to latex. I know this from personal experience with my son. Balloons release a LOT of latex into the air especially if they burst. If an allergic person puts one in their mouth, they may only get a local reaction, or they could have their airway swell shut! If you have a child with Spina Bifida, they are highly susceptible to latex allergies and can actually react to airborne latex from balloons in any setting. I would avoid them in a school setting at all costs. Latex allergy is progressive. You never know when the 911 experience is going to happen. Any questions feel free to email me off list. Cathy

Finished Project
The deck is finished. We just need to repair the lawn and do the landscaping in the spring. I think this is our last big project,and all I did was supervise.
Friday, October 7, 2011
Deck Progress
A few more pavers need to go in the lakeside deck, the front deck needs pavers and caps, and of course the steps. Several rows of blocks will join the two decks for a planter for shrubs and flowers. If the weather holds and the Menards truck shows up tomorrow, things will finish up this week. Now the lawn will need to be repaired.
Way to Go Brewers!

Materials Prices and ProductivityEnghin AtalayUniversity of Chicago - Department of Economics May 10, 2012 Abstract: There is substantial within-industry variation in the prices that plants pay for their material inputs. Using plant-level data from the U.S. Census Bureau, I explore the consequences and sources of this variation in materials prices. For a sample of industries with relatively homogeneous products, the standard deviation of plant-level productivity would be 7% smaller if all plants faced the same materials prices. Moreover, plant-level materials prices are both persistent across time and predictive of exit. The contribution of net entry to aggregate productivity growth is smaller for productivity measures that strip out differences in materials prices. After documenting these patterns, I discuss three potential sources of materials price variation: geography, differences in suppliers' marginal costs, and suppliers' price discriminatory behavior. Together, these variables reduce the unexplained variation of materials prices by 13%. Finally, I demonstrate that plants' marginal costs are correlated with the marginal costs of their intermediate input suppliers.

I use C functions for the raw speed then pass the bigarrays to OCaml to do some reordering of the data, and higher-level processing. I do not open the file in Ocaml then send a string to C for parsing, but rather open the file in C and return the bigarray list to Ocaml. (cf my previous mistake on creating Ocaml lists in C on this mailing-list) I have hundreds of such files that I may want to load and compare interactively, so reclaiming unused memory is a big bonus. -- Li-Thiao-Té Sébastien

Man found dead in burned camper in Long Beach
Fire marshal investigates
Authorities are investigating the death of 58-year-old Al Daroca, whose body was found Wednesday near Long Beach in the remnants of a camper destroyed by fire a day earlier.
Coroner Gary Hargrove told The Sun Herald that Daroca was from out of state but had been living in the area, and was seen around the camper about 9:30 a.m. Tuesday.
Fire Marshal Pat Sullivan said neighbors told firefighters Daroca had gone to Louisiana for a job interview, and his vehicle was not in the driveway. Firefighters later went back to check with neighbors to see if they had heard from him so they could ask him about the fire.
Hargrove said Daroca's girlfriend texted a Long Beach firefighter, who returned to the scene and found a body in the rubble.

The messages run the gamut, ranging from words of support for American and British troops to anger over the military campaign. Victims vary from a US Navy Web site to the homepage for UK industrial products distributor Routeco, www.routeco.com.
According to pictures captured on F-Secure's Web site, the Routeco home page carried a photo of protestors burning an American flag. Underneath the image, a message read: "Ohh YeaH BabY...Ur SiTe Has BeeN DeFaceD".
The Web site was back to normal by mid-day Thursday, a computer consultant for Routeco told Reuters.
The site www.seabornes.com, was also hit by war protesters, quoting the Koran. It also issued the ominous warning: "It's The New Era of Cyber War We Promised!"
Groups with a strong political bent increasingly have been using Web site defacement and crude hacking techniques as methods of protest.
Like graffiti, defaced Web sites are considered little more than a nuisance. The message tends to get wide exposure, but the damage to the victim is minimal. Web site operators typically have the site restored within a matter of hours.
"This is the work of individual groups. We haven't seen any signs of state-sponsored network (intrusions)," Hypponen said.
Hypponen said security firms have been staffing up to handle the more damaging potential cyber attacks: email-based worms or viruses.
A new e-mail worm, dubbed Ganda-A, surfaced this week in Europe, purporting to show screensavers of U.S. spy satellite pictures of Iraq or animations that are either patriotic or that mock President Bush.
The worm spreads by sending itself to e-mail addresses on an infected machine and tries to disable anti-virus and other security software and infect certain files on the hard disk.
Hypponen said the worm was petering out on Friday. Still, his team remains on the ready.
"We doubled our on-call staff. We are prepared if anything happens. So far, nothing has," he said.

Dear Heloise: Do you or your readers have any suggestions for preventing static electricity shock? Getting out of cars is especially painful, and is really bad during the dry winter months. I'd appreciate any help. -- Julie W. in Connecticut
Happy to pass along some hints to help prevent that SHOCK! Static electricity can be a pain, and even can be dangerous. Here are a few hints for how to reduce it:
* When getting out of a car, touch the metal part of the door. Once your feet touch the ground, then you can let go of the car door.
* Sliding in and out of a car can create static electricity, depending on what clothes you are wearing. Use a seat cover to reduce this static.
* At home, try to "ground" yourself before touching something metal. Touch a wooden door frame before touching the metal doorknob, for example.
* Try to wear 100 percent cotton clothing, and avoid polyester and synthetic materials, because they cause more static electricity.
* Moisturize your skin to reduce the buildup of static charges.
Hope these hints help reduce your shocking situation! Readers, do you have any other hints to reduce static electricity? -- Heloise
Dear Heloise: About two weeks before I leave on a trip, I place a laundry basket in my bedroom. Then, when I think of something I want to take or wear on my trip, I put that item in the basket. (I can always edit later!) When it comes time to get out the luggage, I never fear leaving important items behind. -- Joan D. in Virginia
Dear Heloise: I read your advice on putting "ICE" (In Case of Emergency) phone numbers in one's cellphone. This is very good advice, except if you have a "lock" on your phone that requires a code. (Which, by the way, is a must to keep your information secure. No one else will be able to access your contacts.) To get around this, I put my emergency contact information as part of the picture on my lock screen. I used a program to add the text to a picture of my grandchildren, saved it and selected it as my lock-screen background. -- Jo Ann P., via email
Good point! Thank you for the reminder. -- Heloise
Dear Heloise: Like many, I'm a faithful reader. I think I have discovered a clever solution for those irritating tiny splinters from cactus that you can barely see, much less remove. I have found that an ordinary emery board rubbed over the area in the direction of the splinter can provide instant comfort. -- Nanci in California
Dear Heloise: I discovered this when company was at the door! A dab of hand sanitizer and a quick polish with a clean tissue on a glass shelf (or the mirror -- Heloise) polishes off toothpaste and soap splatters! -- Charlotte in Bryan, Ohio

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
Brown killing the spark
This past week's racial crisis in Ferguson, Missouri, has uncovered a divide within the black community-one based on generation, class and the cloudy political vision offered by African-American politics in the Obama age.
When asked who is the leader of the ongoing protests since the killing of Michael Brown — protests that have triggered Missouri's governor to declare a state of emergency and curfew — one young man from St. Louis answered, "Do we have a leader? No," and he went on to suggest that the martyred Brown, himself, offered the best example of leadership for Ferguson's angry and alienated young people.
Related Items
As last week progressed, protests on the streets of that city operated on two separate tracks. Civil rights leaders have organized effective nonviolent marches even as young protesters, and some would-be outlaws, have descended into violence and looting in parts of the city.
Leaders such as Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton have visited Ferguson, but their pleas for calm have been ineffective.
Ironically, the black person who provided arguably the most visible leadership during the Ferguson events has been Missouri Highway Patrol Captain Ron Johnson, whose forceful, yet compassionate, presence and policing tactics helped to temporarily defuse the escalating crisis.
That young people in Ferguson refused to heed calls for nonviolence should come as no surprise. Demonstrations at the height of the civil rights era featured sporadic incidents of violence waged by angry black Americans outraged at racism and poverty but unwilling or unable to commit to the discipline of nonviolence. Martin Luther King Jr. encountered these episodes in Birmingham and Memphis and was famously heckled when he visited Watts in the aftermath of the city's 1965 rebellion.
What makes the current situation different from the 1960s is that we have no Stokely Carmichael or Black Panthers who can properly relate to the young people in and outside of Ferguson, who have used the language of violence to convey rage and disappointment.
Make no mistake. Brown's killing is not the root cause of Ferguson's violence. It's merely the spark that triggered it. Poverty, segregation, unemployment and a climate of anti-black racism haunt tiny Ferguson and the wider St. Louis metropolitan area. Riots, King reminded us, are "the language of the unheard" and oppressed.
It's no wonder, then, that local young black men and women can't identify a single black leader or organization as the leader of the chaotic demonstrations in which they have participated.
National black political leaders from the civil rights era have tried, through organizational outreach, speeches, media (traditional and social), marches and demonstrations to reach out to and stay connected with a new generation of young people. But this effort bumps up against the limitations of resources and outreach.
America's racial underclass, the off-the-grid hustlers and entrepreneurs who many black elites ignore or demonize, rarely sees political leaders of any color advocating for them.
The divide, while generational on the surface, is also fueled by class, as young people with education, networks and access tend to view politics as a long-term process - one that comes with victories, but also compromise and setbacks. Millions of young blacks have no entrée to the nuances of American democracy and racial struggle. Their world is more painfully straightforward and wrenching: black folks get shot in the streets with no hope of justice.
The ideal response to this tragedy, one that are national civil rights narrative promotes but in fact was never entirely true, is for the entire black population of Ferguson to put on their best church clothes and nonviolently show the world what happened to Michael Brown.
But in the age of Obama, these young people find the lessons of the civil rights era increasingly hard to comprehend. Certainly, the frequency of police killings of black men, the Iraq war-styled police presence in Ferguson and the numbing persistence of racial segregation and violence makes talk of racial progress ring hollow.
This puts civil rights leaders in a tough spot. They're wary of being too critical of President Barack Obama's track record on race and poverty, aware that the Attorney General is his staunch ally and they've been pilloried by conservatives as "race hustlers," eager to arouse the rabble. But perhaps most importantly, the very constituency they often claim to speak for - the voiceless black youth who have come out in Ferguson over the past week -- find these leaders' voices indistinguishable from the political white noise that only unfettered violence seems capable of breaking through.

1985: Britain's famous red telephone boxes are officially retired by British Telecom, to become another victim of encroaching technology and corporate expediency.
Retired does not mean completely gone, however. Although their numbers have dwindled over the years, there are still plenty of Sir Giles Gilbert Scott's iconic telephone boxes kicking around Old Blighty. And they're still the phone box of choice on the island of Malta.
Scott's design was chosen in a 1924 competition and, although Scott himself originally recommended painting the boxes silver, the Post Office — which ran Britain's phone service at the time — chose red because it would make the booths easier to see.
Following privatization, the service switched to British Telecom and the design of phone boxes became more utilitarian. Many of the red boxes were replaced but a public outcry managed to preserve a fair number. Some of those in use today have been converted to internet kiosks.

Detailed Description:
Background: Patients entering substance abuse treatment display cognitive deficits that may reduce their ability to benefit from their treatment. While there is considerable variety in the severity and types of cognitive impairment found in newly recovering patients, problems with attention, memory and executive function are very common. Since treatment requires sustained attention, remembering what is learned, integrating that knowledge and applying it to recovery, impairment in underlying cognitive processes makes successful treatment less likely. Although cognitive functioning improves with sustained sobriety, it is during the early phase of recovery that most patients receive the most intensive treatment. Recent research has suggested that cognitive remediation exercises during this early phase may speed up the return of cognitive functioning and in so doing may have a direct effect on whether patients find the treatment useful and complete their treatment. By keeping patients in treatment longer, cognitive remediation may have an indirect effect on substance abuse outcomes.
Objectives: To pilot test the introduction of cognitive remediation at the Substance Abuse Day Treatment Program (SADP) at the Errara Community Care Center. Aims are 1) to assess the receptivity of patients to the intervention by determining rates of agreement to participate, 2) to determine the number of cognitive remediation sessions that patients are willing to engage in, 3) to assess a variety of cognitive remediation tasks for their acceptability, 4) to evaluate neuropsychological improvements using pre-post assessment, 5) to evaluate its effects on substance abuse treatment participation, and 6) to evaluate its effects on substance abuse outcomes at 6 months follow-up.
Design: Randomized clinical trial of cognitive remediation with an active control condition with observations at baseline, end of treatment and 6-months from intake

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said Tuesday any deal to avoid the "fiscal cliff" of tax increases and spending cuts must also raise the debt ceiling, and signaled that President Obama feels the same way.
Reid said Democrats would be foolish to agree to a year-end package that raises revenues and cuts spending only to face a Republican ultimatum on the debt ceiling weeks later.
"I agree with the president, it has to be a package deal," he added.

October 5, 2012 Never Throwing Anyone Awayhttp://www.jewishjournal.com/blog/item/never_throwing_anyone_away/ |
Nestled in the heart of Jerusalem, in a building constructed to remember those lost years ago, sits a man who has made it his mission to give people back their humanity. Shai ben Yehuda is the Chief Archivist for Yad VaShem in Israel. My friend and teacher, Rabbi Edward Feinstein told me a story about him recently. Shai is able, thanks to a super computer, to take the 140+ million documents and fragments of information about people who died in the Shoah and put them together to bring these victims to life, to bring them back to living, breathing human beings instead of just being one of the 6 million who died. When asked why he does this painful work, he responded with this phrase: WE NEVER THROW ANYONE AWAY.

Dredging the Sound:
By Sarah Quelland
Queens of the Stone Age, Other Star People and dredg performed at the Cactus Club last Saturday (Sept. 11). An unusual fourpiece from Los Gatos, dredg has an interesting, if sometimes green, musical style. Incorporating a soulful spirituality into its heavy, atmospheric sound, dredg performed works from its concept album, Leitmotif, which features complicated song titles like "Movement II: Crosswind Minuet" and "Traversing Through the Arctic Cold We Search for the Spirit of Yuta," as well as an intermission section that runs more than 6 1/2 minutes. While dredg's strength lies in its intricate guitar sequences and complex melodies, its weakness shows in the untrained vocals, which tend to waver off-key (it's probably no accident they're muted both live and recorded). To its credit, though, the band comes across with confidence when performing live and, musically speaking, seems to have an untraditional vision.
Stikmon's Big Ass International is sending locals Sad Boy Sinister overseas Sept. 21-Oct 18 to tour in Germany, France, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic and other countries. Catch them at the Cactus Club during the SoFA Festival (held this Sunday, Sept. 19, on South First Street in downtown San Jose. See p. 33 for story and complete schedule) before they head out.
Agenda just started serving lunch in the restaurant and, starting later this month, should be ready to offer patio dining. The patio, a new addition, featuring a retractable awning and heating units to ward off the night chill, is in progress at 389 S. First Street next-door to the original structure.
JJ's Blues and SR Fox Productions are launching a talent search in October. Three bands will be selected to play each Wednesday, and the band judged the best of the night will be eligible to participate in an end-of-the-year playoff, with a $500 award going to the winner. Call JJ's Blues at 408/243-6441 or SR Fox Productions at 408/377-2600 to get involved.
Saturday Night Live, that staple of late-night TV, and Dreamworks release Saturday Night Live: The Musical Performances volumes one and two on Sept. 21. Compiling an all-star musical lineup of live performances, disc one features Paul Simon, Sting, Tom Petty, Elvis Costello, David Bowie and others, while disc two includes cutting-edge artists Nirvana, Beastie Boys, Beck, Green Day, Neil Young and more.
Speaking of Neil Young and Green Day, the Bridge School Benefit (which contributes to the Bridge School program for the communicative and educational development of children with severe speech and physical impairments) will be held Oct. 30-31 at Shoreline Amphitheatre. The lineup to date includes Young and Green Day as well as Pearl Jam, Billy Corgan and James Iha, Tom Waits (Oct. 30 only), the Who, Sheryl Crow, Lucinda Williams, Crosby, Stills & Nash and Brian Wilson. Tickets are available thru BASS.
To appease diehard fans while he's working on his movie Holywood, Marilyn Manson is releasing a live album titled The Last Tour on Earth, recorded during last year's "Rock Is Dead" tour. Slated for a mid-November release, a video companion is also in the works, titled God Is in the TV (taken from a line in the song "Rock Is Dead") that will feature video clips including the previously unreleased "Coma White" and live concert footage. Interestingly, "Cake and Sodomy" is conspicuously absent from both releases.
In an inspired career turn, country superstar Garth Brooks has reinvented himself as Chris Gaines, a world-famous rock star, for the movie The Lamb, set for release next year. The teaser disc features two songs. The lilting R&B of "Lost in You" showcases Brooks' sweeping vocal range and takes a completely different direction than his distinctive country sound. The passionate heartbreaker "It Don't Matter to the Sun" finds a more familiar Brooks. The complete pre-soundtrack to The Lamb, featuring the greatest hits of the fictional Chris Gaines, will be available Sept. 28.
Papa Roach performs tonight (Sept. 16) at the Catalyst in Santa Cruz with Diversion, Jetlag and Black Silence.
PLAN AHEAD: Dance Hall Crashers and No Use for a Name, Sept. 18 at the Fillmore in San Francisco; Down2None and Broken Vision, Sept. 25 at the Cactus Club; Boy Kicks Girl, the Ataris, HBA and others, Sept. 25 at the Odd Fellows Hall on Race Street; Smash Mouth, Oct. 22 at the Usual.

Re: BVI chart/nav app
TakeFive, I bought an Oregon 450 2 yrs ago in preparation for a trip out of the USVI to the SVI. The 450 didn't have built-in detailed charts so I bought the US and Southeast Caribbean BlueChart g2 chips. The SE Caribbean chip is # HXUS030R.
I found the accuracy to be as good as the paper charts for the area. We threaded some reefs at Culebrita and elsewhere using paper charts and eyeball navigation, including reading the depths, until we established trust in the Garmin system. We ranged from St Thomas to Culebrita, Culebra, and Vieques and back by way of St. John with no issues. Actually, it was rather impressive.
BTW, I took a look at Great Harbour using my SE Caribbean chip and it provides a little more detail than your map views. I don't know if this microSD chip works in your 400c, but I would think so.
Your 400c has the same dimensions as my 450, which fit nicely in a drink holder on the boat we chartered.

BULL, Melanie and BROWN, Tim (2012). Change communication : the impact on satisfaction with alternative workplace strategies. Facilities, 30 (3/4), 135-151.
| PDF Download (295kB) | Preview |
Communication is fundamental to the Facilities Management (FM) role within organisations; especially when the FM department is implementing changes to the workplace. An evaluation of an instance is presented.
A self- administered online questionnaire was used to collect quantitative and qualitative data. The research focused on responses to satisfaction with the communication methods rather than reviewing the merits of alternative workplace strategies.
Findings included the impact of communication on staff satisfaction levels, the need to provide timely and relevant information and communication via a range of mediums and the need to ensure there was opportunity to participate in meaningful feedback. The key findings are substantiated with existing internal communication and change literature.
Originality / value
The research highlights the practical importance of the need to improve communication within the FM industry and especially in change circumstances.

Claudia Livia Julia | |
Spouse | Gaius Caesar Drusus Julius Caesar |
Issue | Julia Tiberius Julius Caesar Nero Gemellus Tiberius Claudius Caesar Germanicus II Gemellus |
Father | Nero Claudius Drusus |
Mother | Antonia Minor |
Born | 13 BC. Lugdunum, Gaul, Roman Empire |
Died | 31 AD (aged 44) |
Claudia Livia Julia (Classical Latin: LIVIA•IVLIA[1]) (c. 13 BC – 31 AD) was the only daughter of Nero Claudius Drusus and Antonia Minor and sister of the Roman Emperor Claudius and general Germanicus, and thus the paternal aunt of the emperor Caligula and maternal great-aunt of emperor Nero. She was named after her grandmother, Augustus' wife Livia Drusilla, and commonly known by her family nickname Livilla ("little Livia"). She was born after Germanicus and before Claudius.
She was twice married to the potential successor in the Julio-Claudian dynasty, first to Augustus' grandson Gaius Caesar (died 4 AD) and later to Tiberius' son Drusus the Younger (died 23 AD). Allegedly, she helped her lover Sejanus in poisoning her husband and died shortly after Sejanus fell from power in 31 AD.
Livilla was married twice, first in 1 BC to Gaius Caesar, Augustus' grandson and potential successor. Thus, Augustus had chosen Livilla as the wife of the future Emperor. This splendid royal marriage probably gave Livilla grand aspirations for her future, perhaps at the expense of the ambition of Augustus' granddaughters, Agrippina the Elder and Julia the Younger. However, Gaius died in 4 AD, cutting short Augustus' and Livilla's plans.
In the same year, Livilla married her cousin Drusus Julius Caesar (Drusus the Younger), the son of Tiberius. When Tiberius succeed Augustus as Emperor in 14 AD, Livilla again was the wife of a potential successor. Drusus and Livilla had three children, a daughter named Julia in 5 AD and twin brothers in 19 AD: Germanicus Gemellus who died in 23, and Tiberius Gemellus who survived infancy.
Livilla's standing in her family[edit]
Tacitus reports that Livilla was a remarkably beautiful woman, despite the fact she was rather ungainly as a child.[2] The Senatus Consultum de Cn. Pisone patre[3] indicates that she was held in the highest esteem by her uncle and father-in-law, Tiberius, and by her grandmother Livia Drusilla.[4]
According to Tacitus, she felt resentment and jealousy against her sister-in-law Agrippina the Elder, the wife of her brother Germanicus, to whom she was unfavourably compared.[5] Indeed, Agrippina fared much better in producing imperial heirs to the household (being the mother of the Emperor Caligula and Agrippina the Younger) and was much more popular. Suetonius reports that she despised her younger brother Claudius; having heard he would one day become Emperor, she deplored publicly such a fate for the Roman people.[6]
As most of the female members of the Julio-Claudian dynasty, she may also have been very ambitious, in particular for her male offspring.[7]
Affair with Sejanus[edit]
Possibly even before the birth of the twins, Livilla had an affair with Lucius Aelius Sejanus, the praetorian prefect of Tiberius - later on, some (including Tiberius) suspected Sejanus to have fathered the twins. Drusus, heir apparent since the death of Germanicus in 23 AD, died in the same year, shortly after striking Sejanus in an argument. According to Tacitus, Suetonius, Cassius Dio, Sejanus had poisoned Drusus, not only because he feared the wrath of the future Emperor but also because he had designs on the supreme power, and aimed at removing a potential competitor, with Livilla as his accomplice.[8] If Drusus was indeed poisoned, his death aroused no suspicions at the time.
Sejanus now wanted to marry the widowed Livilla. Tiberius in 25 rejected such a request but in 31 eventually gave way. In the same year, the Emperor received evidence from Antonia Minor, his sister-in-law, that Sejanus planned to overthrow him. Tiberius had Sejanus denounced in the Senate, then had him arrested and dragged off to prison to be put to death. A bloody purge then erupted in Rome, most of Sejanus' family (including his children) and followers sharing his fate.
Accusations and death[edit]
Hearing of the death of her children, Sejanus' former wife Apicata committed suicide. Before her death, she addressed a letter to Tiberius, accusing Sejanus and Livilla of having poisoned Drusus. Drusus' cupbearer Lygdus and Livilla's physician Eudemus were questioned and under torture confirmed Apicata's accusation.
Livilla died shortly afterwards, either being killed or by suicide. According to Cassius Dio, Tiberius handed Livilla over to her mother, Antonia Minor, who locked her up in a room and starved her to death.[9]
Early in 32, the Senate proposed "terrible decrees...against her very statues and memory".[10]
Posthumously, there were further allegations of adultery with her physician Eudemus[11] and with the senator and poet Mamercus Aemilius Scaurus.[12]
The iconographic identification of Livilla has posed many problems to date, mainly due to the damnatio memoriae voted against her by the Senate after her death. Several possibilities have been advanced but none has to date received widespread acceptance. However, a portrait type that survives in at least three replicas and which we may refer to as the "Alesia type" may very well represent Livilla.[13] All these replicas show the head of a lady in her blossom years, with a hairstyle clearly from the Tiberian period. The physiognomy is close but not identical to portraits of Antonia Minor, Livilla's mother, and some replicas seem to bear the marks of voluntary damage (that one would expect from a damnatio memoriae). For all these reasons, it has been proposed to see in this portrait type a representation of Livilla.
A cameo portrait of a lady with the silhouettes of two infants, has been tentatively identified as Livilla.[14] Although it is possible that the seated woman on right on the Great Cameo of France represents Livilla, it seems more likely that the female figure seated on the left and holding a roll represents Livilla, depicted there as the widowed wife of Drusus the Younger, seen just above her as one of the three heavenly imperial male figures.[15]
Appearance on television[edit]
Livilla has been depicted in three television series about the period. In the 1968 British television series The Caesars she was portrayed by Suzan Farmer. In the 1976 BBC TV series adaptation of I, Claudius she was played by Patricia Quinn. Here she has an affair with Agrippa Postumus, but Livia persuades her to frame him for rape, leading to his exile. She plots with Sejanus to murder Tiberius, but her mother finds the evidence and sends it to Tiberius via Claudius. Livilla is then locked in a room by her mother, who says Livilla won't leave until she is dead. In the 1985 mini-series A.D. she was played by Susan Sarandon.
Others with this same name[edit]
Julia Livilla, the youngest daughter of Germanicus, was named after her paternal aunt.

How long then will you seek for beauty here?
by Farid ud-Din AttarEnglish version by Afkham Darbandi and Dick Davis
Original Language Persian/Farsi
How long then will you seek for beauty here?
Seek the unseen, and beauty will appear.
When the last veil is lifted neither men
Nor all their glory will be seen again,
The universe will fade -- this mighty show
In all its majesty and pomp will go,
And those who loved appearances will prove
Each other's enemies and forfeit love,
While those who loved the absent, unseen Friend
Will enter that pure love which knows no end.
-- from The Conference of the Birds, Translated by Afkham Darbandi / Translated by Dick Davis |

As a very young undergrad student at UCD I used to love my medieval history course. Although as I remember, the classes were on very early in the morning, I used to make a special effort to turn up to learn about life in Ireland, England, Scotland and Wales in the 1300s and 1400s. To this day I still have an interest in Art McMurrough Kavanagh and the O'Neills of Tyrone, led by Niall Mór, Niall Óg and Henry 'the Contentious', and their wars with King Richard II of England who campaigned in Ireland twice in an unsuccessful effort to subdue these Gaelic kings.
Another theme of these classes which I still remember was the remarkable Gaelicisation of many of the Anglo-Norman families in Ireland at this time. These families were the descendants of Anglo-Norman conquerors who had settled in Ireland in the years after 1170, as the Anglo-Normans first conquered and settled Leinster and Meath and in the ensuing decades spread out into most parts of Ireland. The course showed us how the advance of the Anglo-Normans slowed in the late 1200s, due to the success of some of the Gaelic chieftains such as Godfrey O'Donnell of Tír Chonaill, who now had the use of heavily armed battalions of Scottish gallloglass warriors who were beginning to arrive in Ireland at this time. Plagues and famine then hit the Anglo-Norman population of Ireland during the 1300s leaving some Anglo-Norman families, particularly in Connacht and east Ulster, isolated and surrounded by increasingly powerful Gaelic Irish neighbours. Under this pressure and also due to ordinary neighbourliness, the Anglo-Normans began to adopt the Irish language and many other Gaelic Irish customs such as style of dress and manner of riding horses (The Irish did not use stirrups). Intermarriage between the Anglo-Normans and the Gaelic Irish was probably the most important mode of cultural influence. If an Anglo-Norman lord married an Irish noblewoman, their children would possibly be raised speaking Irish and would have extensive contact with their Irish in-laws. This process began right from the beginning of the arrival of the Anglo-Normans in Ireland when Strongbow, the original leader of the invaders married Aoife, the daughter of King Dermot McMurrough of Leinster.
By the mid 1300s the English authorities in Ireland were horrified by the Gaelicization of a large proportion of the Anglo-Norman population and tried to halt it with laws such as the Statutes of Kilkenny which tried to forbid the adoption of Gaelic Irish customs by people of Anglo-Norman descent. However, the pull of Gaelic culture was too strong and most of these laws were widely ignored. The result of this was that by the year 1400 the English crown had lost any authority over vast areas of Ireland, especially in Connacht, where the Anglo-Norman population became almost totally Gaelicised and refused to recognize English authority any longer. As a result of this, many Anglo-Norman families in Connacht, particularly the McWilliam Burkes of County Mayo, by the 1500s were absolutely indistinguishable from their Gaelic Irish neighbours. This fact led the English to come up with the phrase 'More Irish than the Irish themselves' to describe such families. What follows is a list of the most prominent Gaelicised Anglo-Norman families and the new Gaelic surnames they often adopted to fit in with Gaelic Irish society:
Bermingham - Mac Fheorais (now often Corish), Bissett - Mac Eoin (now McKeown), de Nangle - Mac Oisdealbhaigh (now often Costello), de Burgh - de Búrca (Burke) with many sub-clans also - McWilliam, McRedmond, McGibbon and Mac Seoinín (now called Jennings), Fitzmaurice - Mac Muiris, Savage - Mac an tSábhaisigh, Fitzgerald - Mac Gerailt and Nugent - Mac Nuinseann. There are many more.
Next week I hope to add a Tuesday blog also to my website, concentrating on more technical aspects of genealogy and website development. However, the Friday series will continue as normal.

Accessories4Less has received a good overall response at AVS Forum. Their eBay store, which has a 99.5% feedback rating, is currently selling the same refurb for $152 shipped.
Just got one last time it was on Ben's. Has worked very well. Kinda low end but it has worked great. Not perfect cosmetically but just had to wipe off the front.
^ What do you mean by "Not perfect cosmetically"? Was it dirty or damaged?
Accessoriesbacon has a lot of refurb models. The Denon AVR-X3000 is tempting... Denon refurbs get 1 year warranties which is less that the standard 3 yr but better than the 90 days many give you. Usually solid state stuff dies right away or lasts a long time as long as it doesn't have cheap chinese capacitors in it.
