|One of the most exciting new features in WebSphere CloudBurst 2.0 is the new support for multi-image patterns. This feature, demonstrated here, allows you to build patterns that contain multiple different versions of the same product (i.e. a mixed WebSphere cell) or build patterns that contain multiple different products (i.e. WebSphere Application Server and DB2). Prior to 2.0, you could only achieve mixed cells or multi-product deployments by using multiple patterns and integrating them as part of the deployment process. Now you can simply capture them all in a single pattern. You can then deploy that single pattern to stand up your heterogeneous application environment.
The demo I mentioned above shows constructing multi-image patterns using the pattern editor GUI. However, this can also be done using the CLI. The CLI underwent some minor changes with respect to how you access virtual image parts to build patterns, and as a result you see a more coherent API hierarchy. Prior to 2.0, you access image parts directly from the provided 'cloudburst' module:
cloudburst.parts['Deployment manager'][0]
However, in 2.0, the parts are accessed directly from a virtual image object:
cloudburst.virtualimages['WebSphere Application Server 18.104.22.168'][0].parts['Deployment manager'][0]
|With those changes in mind, I went about building a clustered WebSphere Application Server cell that included a DB2 database server. I ended up with the following script:
|Looking in my WebSphere CloudBurst console, I see the resulting pattern:
|Looking back on this, I cannot help but chuckle. I built an environment containing a clustered WebSphere Application Server cell along with a DB2 database, and I integrated the two components via a data source in 9 lines of script! Not bad, not bad at all.

Multi-image patterns and the CLI

Thanks a lot for sharing this. The multi-image pattern sounds really good to me. However, I am trying to understand what are its limitation. For example,

 1) Does it support customization in terms of the connectivity between the nodes ?
 2) Does it handle security among the created nodes ?
 3) Does it allow the custom input parameters for each of the nodes ?
 4) When the user tries to deploy one image pattern, would it ask for the input parameters like virtual machine configuration, scalability or performance parameters ?
All great questions:

 1) Yes, we do enable connection between nodes by allowing you to pass in variables to scripts (i.e. a script that setup a data source in WAS), which are resolved automatically by WebSphere CloudBurst during deployment. For example, in the above 'Create DB2 Data Source' script, I may pass in ${DB2Part.hostname} (just an example) as the value for the host name for my data source. During deployment, WebSphere CloudBurst automatically resolves that variable to the actual host name assigned to the DB2 instance.

 2) I'm not sure what you mean by security. You can certainly provide any kind of security configuration you would in your typical application environment deployments. Patterns were designed with the specific intention to allow you to make any sort of customizations you require in your application environments.

 3) For each of the distinct part types, there is configuration data and other deployment parameters.

 4) For any pattern (single or multi-image), there is configuration data that you can supply during deployment. This includes information about the middleware (i.e. WebSphere Application Server cell and node names), as well as the VM itself (i.e. virtual memory and virtual CPU allocation).

Don't add rings. Run lines the length of the boat to stuff gear under. If you swamp, you will need to be able to remove gear quickly to empty the boat. Simply run the lines and wrap to the thwarts. Attach the gear ON TOP of the gear with biners for fast easy access. No modification to the boat needed.

Every scientist today will tell you that we are slowly draining our planet of natural resources and that we are polluting the atmosphere at such an alarming rate that life might not be possible in a 100 years or so. To save humankind from extinction scientists have been thinking and working on ways to colonise different parts of our solar system. Bas Lansdorp has thus far invested a fortune in his Mars One project. The non-profit project has a singular goal, to put a human expedition on Mars by 2025. But there are a lot of planning and developing and fund raising to be done before then. Here is an interview with the visionary himself… (more…)
Facebook has an estimated 1.35 billion users and most of them have a lot of burning questions for the social media giant but usually they just talk among their friends and never truly get a straight answer. Well, following in the footsteps of Reddit's "Ask me anything" sessions, Facebook's CEO Mark Zuckerberg will drop the walls around his company and act as "customer support" himself next week in Facebook's first community Q&A.

LG Mobile is taking on the premium smartphone market with a vengeance since launching the G2 last year. The latest edition to their arsenal is the G-Flex curved 6inch monster. We were invited to the LG Mobile SA launch of their flagship G-Flex and cheaper G Pro Lite launch on Thursday (January 30th). LG has been gaining market share slowly but surely in 2013 and it wasn't a surprise when the G2 was named gadget of the year (2013) in Stuff magazine and other publications. LG Mobile are preparing for a massive public launch of the G-Flex in late March (effective April) this year and I can see why this curved phone is going to turn some heads. (more…)
Kim Dotcom, owner of file-sharing website Megaupload.com, saw his mansion in Auckland, New Zealand, raided by antiterrorist police supported by helicopters. It was hard to understand exactly why officials believed such a massive display of force was necessary, but now word comes that FBI told New Zealand police that Dotcom had a "doomsday device" capable of destroying evidence worldwide.
He has since been released on bail and is under house arrest in his New Zealand home. We all know him because of the file sharing site MegaUpload, but he is actually much more interesting than that business would suggest. In the mid 90's he pioneered Flash animation on the internet. He also invented a way of doing video conferencing over a cell phone in 1999, when most people didn't have one yet. So what does a millionaire do when he can't leave his house? He becomes one of the best video gamers in the world, of course. At the time of his house raid in 2011 he was confirmed as the best Call of Duty player in the world.

GeoServer (or the Geotool's renderer, I guess) paints labels after all features have been drawn. That means (as far as I can tell) there is no way to implement something like Google's push-pins, which appear on the map over everything, including labels. It would be wonderful if there were a way to do this (maybe a way to specify that a specific layer is "special" and should be rendered after everything else is done?). What do other's think?
You would be able to pull this off with some client software such as Coimmunity MapBuilder. It will render features for you, and you can put them on top of other layers and labels.
But I do believe that geoserver renders each layer in order, no matter what labels have been rendered. So in effect you would get your pushpins if you made a second layer and had it render after the first layer.
Yeah, my thought is that push-pin stuff should actually be done client side. This is how google maps works as well, it's javascript produced on the client side. Or SVG (or ie's proprietary stuff) to do like the lines on top of stuff. So yeah, google's rendering is done client side, so I don't think we should be doing it server side.
See: http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/wfs.html for an example of client side pushpins, created from WFS.
Doing it client-side makes sense to me. Thanks for the suggestions and link!
won't fix, agreed this has to be done client side

Plantar Fasciitis…A Real Pain in the HeelPublished September 25, 2014
By Maureen Mahoney, PA-C, ATC Do you get stabbing pain in the heel or bottom of your foot with your first steps out of bed in the morning? Does it feel better once you start walking around? Does the pain return after standing for a long time or at the end of the day? Do you get heel or arch pain when you get up from sitting?

Five things that I have learned as an orthopaedic surgeonPublished September 18, 2014
By Elizabeth McLarney, MD In my almost 20 years of being an orthopaedic surgeon, I have learned many things. There are a few things that I would like to share with you. Motion is life. Orthopaedic surgeons say this because we know if we don't keep the soft tissues around a joint moving after surgery or an injury that the joint will become stiff and lose range of motion. This can be extrapolated to a larger meaning. We know that if people stay active, they stay healthier. Exercise should occur for at least 30 minutes to one hour per day. This should be every day. This exercise should include aerobic exercise (like walking, biking, swim...Read full post »
Lateral Epicondylitis, Better Known as Tennis ElbowPublished September 11, 2014
By Dr. William Vranos Lateral epicondylitis, also known as tennis elbow, is one of the most common adult ailments seen in the offices of orthopedic surgeons. Approximately 1-3% of adults will experience lateral elbow pain at one time or another in a given year. For the most part, the discomfort is mild and transient, and care is not sought. However, in some patients, the discomfort is enough that it will affect their daily activities and possibly their work. These patients require more aggressive care. Both nonsurgical and surgical treatments are available, depending on its duration and severity, as well as, the needs of the patient. [c...Read full post »
OsteoporosisPublished September 4, 2014
by Jon Thatcher, MD It is an unpopular reality that our bodies begin a slow decline after our mid 30s as we slide into those "golden years." Differences in hair color, muscle mass, and eyesight are obvious changes, but what goes unnoticed is the gradual loss of bone mass. Often it is not until a fracture occurs due to a simple fall from a low height, such as standing, that fragile bones become apparent. These "fragility fractures" are most common about the shoulder, wrist, hip, and spine, often require surgery and can have life changing consequences. Osteoporosis has become a well-recognized bone condition. As life expectancy ha...Read full post »
When Rapid Care Isn't RapidPublished August 22, 2014
By: Brian Richardson Rapid Care in the BMH Emergency Department is a concept; a process rather than just a place. It is not just a couple of treatment rooms but rather it is a commitment to you and our community. It combines the correct patient with the correct provider in the correct room. It has allowed the Emergency Team to better utilize resources and deliver care in a safe and compassionate fashion. The process in our Emergency Department is also a work in progress, a different train of thought in an environment that demands flexibility. Much of the time this process works but on occasion the rapid care process is anything but rapid. ...Read full post »
Dental Care in the Emergency Department (Part 2)Published August 19, 2014
By George Terwilliger, MD In first of this two part series about dental care, I explained the causes and treatment of dental pain. The upshot is that most dental problems are preventable through good diet, regular brushing and flossing, and getting regular professional dental care. Dental problems that bring people to the ED usually are not very amenable to the skill set of emergency departments. Most dental pain needs the services of a dentist or an oral surgeon. Current law states that emergency departments and urgent care centers in Vermont must evaluate every patient who shows up, regardless of ability to pay. However, there is no s...Read full post »
Dental Care in the Emergency Department (Part I)Published August 7, 2014

Quality Patient Care in Your Emergency DepartmentPublished July 31, 2014
By Laurie Kuralt, BSN, RN, CCRN Many improvements have been made in the new BMH Emergency Department (ED) as of late. Not only do we have a new, modern facility, but we are working on making improvements about the process of how we care for patients from the time they enter the doors, until they leave. Many of these changes are geared toward improving the patient experience in the ED as well as quality care. We are striving for excellence. As with most change implementation, this takes time and continuously relooking at strategies to get the changes correct. Sustaining the change is the ultimate goal. Some of the improvements we have ma...Read full post »

I also tend to favor a deader poly in the C10 Pro to further help with control and find the racquet is more than comfortable enough to handle it. One of the reasons I've been hitting the C10 Pro is because I have been doing a lot of string testing and find that stick somewhat string sensitive, which helps. I love the feel of the C10 Pro, and agree an 18x20 pattern would be very interesting.
Chris, TW
Not so sure about an 18x20 but I think there's room for an extra string up top to even out the stringbed. It seems the middle to top strings are quite open, they even out middle to lower bottom where the sweetspot is with the wider shoulders. I also think a 16x20 string pattern would stiffen up that fluffiness players talk about with the c10's upper hoop, Im no scientist tho so who knows. I actualy like that fluffiness up top
Ive been using tour bite 1.25 around 55lbs and they are very well suited indeed, a perfect match to the c10's comfortable frame and as these volkl's volley so well, I dont notice the TB's tinny feel at the net so much. I dont find control much of an issue at all, tour bite just reigns the ball in like its on a string.
Chris......I love this manouverable volkl's especially the dnx10mid which I preferred over the pb10mid as it was a crisper, the c10 reminds me of that, a bigger brother, almost a steely feel......I was intereted in picking up the X10 just to try out alongside. Ive heard about its stiffer hoop and overall stiffer feel from the threads and reviews, what would you say were the major differences between the two sticks??

Scottish National War Memorial
The Scottish National War Memorial is located in Edinburgh Castle, and commemorates Scottish soldiers, and those serving with Scottish regiments, who died in the two world wars and in more recent conflicts. The monument was formally opened in 1927. It is housed in a redeveloped barrack block in Crown Square, at the heart of the castle, and incorporates numerous monuments.
Proposals for a Scottish National War Memorial were put forward in 1917, during the First World War, by John Stewart-Murray, 8th Duke of Atholl, and Capt George Swinton of Kimmerghame. Sir Robert Lorimer, one of the architects involved in the Imperial War Graves Commission,[1] was appointed in 1919, but opposition to a large-scale monument arose from the Cockburn Association and others concerned with the castle's heritage. A more modest scheme to remodel the North Barrack Block was finally agreed in 1923, and the memorial was formally opened on 14 July 1927 by the Prince of Wales.[2] After the Second World War 50,000 names were added to the rolls of honour with names still being added from successive conflicts; however, the memorial itself has been left unchanged.[2]
The Memorial[edit]
The memorial's exterior is decorated with gargoyles and sculpture by Pilkington Jackson, John Marshall[3] and Phyllis Bone,[4] whilst the interior contains monuments to individual regiments. The stained-glass windows are by Douglas Strachan.[5] Its original aims were to commemorate Scots and those serving with Scottish regiments who had died in the First World War, from its declaration to the treaty of Versailles of 28 June 1919 (confirmed military suicides and those tried and executed excepted). Upon the altar within the Shrine there is a sealed casket containing the Rolls of Honour which list over 147,000 names of those soldiers killed in the First World War together with open lists within the Hall.[6] After the Second World War the limiting dates were modified, with another 50,000 names inscribed on the Rolls of Honour within the Hall, and with further names continuing to be added there.[2]
The memorial is maintained by a charitable trust known as the Scottish National War Memorial.[7]

guess everyone is different...I have tried accutane as well and it took a few years for my acne to return (but it costs a lot more + blood work)
Try it. if nothing else has worked you should at least give it a try. THIS IS A MEDICATION PRESCRIBED FOR ACNE TREATMENT. don't be fooled. acne is a bacterial infection, therefore an antibiotic can help. ask your doctor if this might be right for you. everyone is different so it may or may not be the right thing for you.
its ok, its not as good a minocyclen, but the summer was approching and i needed sun, so i switched to this, i will soon be switching back to the highest dosage of mino.
It sucked for me. Its disgusting and they are like horse pills. I am now allergic to it after taking it for so long and break out in hives with 10m after taking.
I loved this pill because it really did do wonders for my acne. But, the side effect of having TONS of yeast infections was very uncomfortable to the point that I had to stop taking the pill. Have yet to find a better method of acne control, though. But, I still would not recommend because of the pain it ended up causing me.
Worked to resolve the issue it was prescribed for me.
So far it's working okay, but my acne is not all gone yet due to how short of a time I've been on it. I'm hoping that if I stick with it on a very regular basis is should be effective.
Some people on the forum sound like they have had allergic reaction to it, and this worsened their condition as it irritated their skin, but overall, this antibiotic and Ceclor come with the highest recommendations from me. My acne was never very severe, so I wonder why some doctors were hesitating to give it to patients who did not have "cystic" acne, when it seemed to work so well on me. Maybe the risks outweigh the benefits with a strong antibiotic on the overall health of the body, when it comes to treating less severe cases. I do not know. I wish you all the best of luck.
I guess I'll have to remain nauseous and sick from the smell
while it works...........ugh!
i was in a bad skateboard accident. i broke my wrist and had cuts all over my back(no shirt on). i was put on this medicine to kill the bacteria that was probably in the cuts on my back from the tar getting in there. while on this, my back cleared up almost completely and i was not afraid to show people my cuts (i usually keep my back covered all the time due to my gross backne). face was basically completely clear as well. i went back to my doxycyclin after that weeks dose, and acne got worse. now doctor re-perscribed cephalexin and im gonna see if this will work like it did before.

'84 Hunter 31 Steering Failure
My steering failed on Saturday. My son was at the helm and the wheel just spun free. We didn't hear or feel anything. We were close hauled in about 20 mph winds in the SF bay when it happened. We limped home with the emergency tiller. Anyone had this happen? Any insights on what it may take to get it fixed?
I have a 81 hunter 27 and last week slipped the chain off the bronze gear in the stearing. This left us to get home using the emergency tiller. The failure was due to the rudder stop on the large sheave having worn a groove through the fiberglased board it is supposed to come to rest against, (thus not stopping) and allowing the chain with attached cable to ride up and off the gear. Fix with 1/4" SS plate about 2-1/2" x 15" bolted to the forward side of the stop board.
Did a steering cable break?

Huge rally will be organised on the occasion
Kerala Chief Minister to address public meeting
Meet to chalk out plan for the welfare of workers
NALGONDA: At a time when the contract workers are playing a pivotal role in running the show in public sector, the Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU) is all set to organise its 11th triennial State conference in this historic town from Thursday to Sunday. "The number of contract workers in the administration is increasing every year but they are deprived of a fair deal," observed the CITU State president R. Sudha Bhaskar here on Wednesday. Besides 6.5 lakh Government employees, five lakh contract workers are serving in the State, he said.
"Contract workers are not being paid minimum wages. The Government brought out the GO no.2501 to improve the living standards of the workers but it is not being implemented effectively," Mr.Sudha Bhaskar rued.
Amid the contract labour force's vociferous demand for a better deal in all fronts, the Kerala Chief Minister V. Achyutanandan is going to set the stage for the crucial deliberations of the State conference. He would address a public meeting at the NG College grounds in the evening of the opening day. A massive rally with the working class from the Government Junior College to the venue would be organised to mark the occasion.
The CITU national general secretary Mohammad Ameen, MP, would be one of the speakers, according to its district unit general secretary Tummala Veera Reddy. The West Bengal's Minister for Labour of West Bengal Mrinal Benarjee would also address the 700-odd delegates.
"We are going to review the struggles we took up for the welfare of the work force and chalk out a plan for the coming days," Mr.Veera Reddy told The Hindu.
The focal point of the Telangana peasants' armed struggle, Nalgonda plays a perfect host for the all important conference being held before the general elections, the organisers feel. "We are going to focus on the problems confronted by scores of workers in the unorganized sector," the leaders said. Alleged imbalances in the Sixth Pay Commission recommendations, heavy workload and paltry payment for contingency employees, Anganwadi workers and others would be discussed.

Brenda Strickland is an educator, but everyone who knows her knows she has a passion. She wants to completely do away with bullying, so schools bring her in to teach on the subject, and though progress is being made, Strickland says it just takes an incident, such as the one which occurred this week involving a local child, to set that progress back a step.
The Scioto County Sheriff's Office is not drawing any conclusions yet as to any factors that may have resulted in the child's death, telling the Daily Times it is much too early in the investigation to draw any conclusions that bullying may have been involved.
However, widespread reports that a 12-year-old Minford student reportedly committed suicide as a result of bullying is just the kind of incident Strickland dreads.
"This is one that is close to our home," Strickland said. "It is Minford where he is from and we've seen it on the news on the media, all these stories. But I believe that as far as I can remember, that it has actually been told it was from bullying. It's our first case of it in our area. It finally is here. It's in our face now. It's in our community. It just saddens me."
Strickland has always supported teaching children the consequences of bullying should begin at the earliest age possible.
"It's my belief that we need to teach our children younger," Strickland said. "Waiting until middle school and high school is sometimes too late. And what I like to do is educate even the elementary on the effects of bullying, what can happen to one's spirit. And this is a prime example with (this child victim). Maybe if we could teach them younger how to treat one another and that words do hurt and do cause pain."
According to the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, close to half of all children will experience school bullying at some point while they are at primary or secondary school. At least 10 percent of children are bullied regularly.
The Daily Times asked Strickland if social media is making bullying more prevalent.
"I believe it is," Strickland said. "Just from watching. Most kids, no matter their economic background, seem to have access to the internet in their hand and you see it all the time and it's so easy just to blurt something out and not think about it."
Strickland said children don't think long term, so they often do not consider the eventual ramifications of their words, but to children like the one who took his own life, those words are devastating. She knows that dynamic and teaches to that premise when she is contacted to speak to students.
"When I have done the assemblies and different teachings, I bring in people who have been bullied and also who have been a bully as someone to stand there and say this is real," Strickland said. "I also use information from the internet to show stories and tragic stories that have happened to people."
Strickland acknowledges that, as a teacher, you have to know how much to show a student or how deep to take the subject.
"Just this past year I shared with a class that people die. Kids take their lives," Strickland said.
She said there is a segment of society that believes the mentioning of bullying causes bullying. She disagrees.
"I don't believe that," Strickland said. "I just believe that they have more courage to step out and say this is happening to me once they are educated."
Strickland is careful not to promote her services which she makes available to schools, but does believe more schools need to devote more resources and time to the subject to try to prevent what happened this week in Scioto County.
"For me, as an educator, as someone who has been in different school systems teaching this, it is very needed," Strickland said. "Our teachers are overwhelmed. They have the OAA, all the testing they have to cover, all the standards, and it makes it hard for anything this important, which is life-altering, to be able to have that time to teach it."
A call to the administration office at Minford Middle School for a comment was not immediately returned.

|Determining reliability and validity of a faculty survey to identify current teaching strategies and application of internet technologies in a Taiwanese university
|Li, Jeng-Yiiang
|University of Missouri--Columbia
|The purpose of this study was to determine the validity and reliability of webbased teaching strategies for use as an instrument to conduct a survey to determine the level of instructional practices by a Taiwanese university faculty and the degree to which Taiwanese university faculty perceive their performance regarding internet technology usage as measured by the faculty response. The findings demonstrated that the teaching strategies questionnaire was a reliable and valid instrument. Additionally, the results of discriminant analyses showed that gender, degree source, and years of experience teaching web-based courses significantly affected teaching strategies. New knowledge was learned through interpreting the findings and provided several conclusions. First, this instrument confirmed the processes of internalization and externalization, and acculturation and reacculturation (Bruffee, 1999), from faculty members perspectives, and the dynamic of tacit knowledge to explicit knowledge, regarding explicit knowledge to tacit knowledge of knowledge creation (Nonaka and Takeuchi, 1995).

LIVINGSTON, La. State Police arrested a man who was intoxicated and let his eight-year-old drive while the family drove from Mississippi to Texas, according to State Police spokeswoman Trooper Melissa Matey.
State Police stopped the truck around 6:30 a.m. on Interstate-12 near Holden, La. Police pulled the truck over after a call from a concerned motorist said the truck was driving erratically and a child was at the wheel, said Matey.
'Troopers determined that the driver was an eight-year-old with his four-year-old sister in the rear seat and their father, Billy Joe Madden, 28, of Hattiesburg, Miss., in the passenger seat,' said a statement from Matey.
According to police, Madden was intoxicated and sleeping in the the truck while his son drove the truck from Mississippi to Dallas, Texas.
Both children were turned over to Child Protective Services and are awaiting the arrival of a family member, according to police.
Madden was arrested and booked into the Livingston Parish Jail on two counts of child desertion, parent allowing a minor to drive, open container, and two counts of no child restraint and no seatbelt, according to police.

Anton Casey goes for online makeover
Expat's resume posted on YouTube, his name appears prominently in articles on Singapore
Published on May 18, 2014 6:53 AM
Briton Anton Casey, who fled to Australia in January after being slammed for denigrating public transport commuters, has made headlines again - this time on purpose.
In what appears to be a bid for an online makeover, the 39-year-old is believed to have posted a video resume of himself on YouTube two weeks ago.
The voice-over points to Mr Casey's "great success" as well as his "deep passion for mentoring" in the 75-second clip which consists of a series of photos, including one of Marina Bay.
Since the end of last month, at least seven articles about Mr Casey, a former wealth manager here, have also popped up online - mostly on sites where users are encouraged to post articles.

Background story
Mr Anton Casey sparked a furore after two of his Facebook posts went viral on Jan 20.
In one post, a picture of his five-year-old son on an MRT train was accompanied by the caption: "Daddy where is your car & who are all these poor people?"
In the other, his son is seen in a silver Porsche, this time with the comment: "Normal service can resume, once I have washed the stench of public transport off me."
The next day, Mr Casey issued an apology through public relations firm Fulford PR Consultancy, saying that his family had suffered "extreme emotional and verbal abuse online" and had even received death threats.
Many felt that his use of a PR firm was insincere.
On Jan 24, he flew to Perth with his son and wife, former Miss Singapore Universe Bernice Wong. He said he was leaving Singapore because of threats made against his family.
He also e-mailed The Straits Times, offering to atone for his mistake through community work and expressing his hope of returning "when we feel safe".
On Jan 25, Crossinvest (Asia) announced that Mr Casey, who was a wealth manager with the company, was no longer its employee.

Re: Looking at buying a Discovery 47'
just noticed this thread
the biggest question is do you want a place to live? or a sailboat?
most boats degrade rather quickly if not being used regularly
if you would like to live on the water I would consider looking into a float home
many live aboard I've seen are usually minimally maintained and become derelict after 5-10 years
living on a working boat is much different than living aboard
the price issues on maintenance and things like sail repair and replacement
can vary drastically from one boat to the next to do a comparison try looking a several boats and sail prices at maui pro they have a large online database with sails and prices to compare for a huge variety of boats
LOA increases costs dramatically each foot costs many $ in both purchase price and maintenance as well as parts being $$$$
the co-op sounds like a good deal but most of what you would be paying for is the assumable moorage
just my $ .02

PETALING JAYA: Malaysia eased into the quarter-finals of the Women's World Team squash championship with an easy 2-0 win over the Czech Republic in the second round in Nimes, France.
The Malaysian women, led by world No. 1 Nicol David, are seeking their first world team title to improve on their third placing in the last three editions.
They got straight down to business as national No. 3 Delia Arnold (pic) needed just 21 minutes to brush aside Kristyna Alexova 11-1, 11-3, 11-5.
Nicol then sent the team through to the last eight by whipping Lucie Fialova 11-3, 11-5, 11-4 in just 24 minutes.
Having won the tie, national No. 2 Low Wee Wern was not required to play in the dead rubber.
The third seeded Malaysians face fifth seeds New Zealand in the quarter-finals.
The Kiwis did not have a smooth ride as they struggled to beat Canada 2-1.
New Zealand were shocked in the first tie when Canadian No. 3 Susannah King turned the tables on Kylie Lindsay and won 11-4, 9-11, 9-11, 11-7, 11-2.
World No. 5 Joelle King then levelled for New Zealand by beating Samantha Cornett 8-11, 11-6, 11-2, 11-3.
Jaclyn Hawkes then sealed the comeback by downing Alexandra Norman 11-5, 13-11, 11-9.
National coach Peter Genever was confident that Malaysia would make the semi-finals for a potential clash with England.
"It was a good result against the Czechs. After winning the first two ties we agreed not to play the third. Wee Wern, instead, had a training session with me." said Genever.
"Delia was too good for her opponent and won easily while Nicol played her best squash of the week.
"After watching how New Zealand fared against Canada, I'm certain we can beat them.
"The order of play will be 1, 2, 3, so Nicol will go up against Joelle first. However, this match will be a real step up from the matches we've played so far"
Seventh seeds Ireland ended the hopes of hosts France with a stylish 3-0 win and will take on top seeds England in the last eight.
Second seeds Egypt also went through by beating Mexico 3-0 while fourth seeds Hong Kong had to rely on a superb comeback by world No. 9 Annie Au before beating South Africa 2-1.
The only upset of the day came from 10th seeded India who edged Holland 2-1. The reigning Asian team champions face Egypt next.

Connecticut tragedy didn't appear to affect student attendance much Monday in St. Lucie
ST. LUCIE COUNTY — Public school attendance didn't appear to be greatly impacted by Friday's tragic shooting, officials with the St. Lucie County School District said Monday.
In a prepared statement, School District spokeswoman Janice Karst said while some parents called expressing concerns about their children attending school and some may have kept their children home because of the Connecticut school shootings, more students attended school Monday than on Friday.
On Monday, 37,894 students attended school and 3,020 were absent, according to district attendance numbers. Attendance numbers show there were 23 more students in school Monday than on Friday.
Some of the absences could be families starting their winter break early. Dec. 21 is the last day of school before schools close for two weeks. Classes will resume Jan. 7.
Superintendent Michael Lannon sent a recorded message to all parents Friday night assuring them the district's emergency plans would be reviewed.
"As safety of students and staff is of primary importance, each St. Lucie School District school and district facility has emergency and critical response plans developed in cooperation with local law enforcement, and school staff are trained in the plan specific to their facility," Karst said in the statement.
Karst said Lannon asked all principals to meet with their teams to review their school's emergency plans this week.
Karst said each school had at least one counselor on campus, who is trained in how to appropriately talk with students who might have questions or concerns after a tragedy has occurred.
Parents can find information and resources about how to talk about the incident with their children on the district's website at www.stlucie schools.org.

Team Ninja Wants To Make Another Metroid
Posted on August 17, 2012 AT 10:21am
When the collaboration of Nintendo and Team Ninja for Metroid: Other M was first announced, it was quite a shock for many. Now, Team Ninja head Yosuke Hayashi says he'd love his team to take another crack at the franchise.
"Unfortunately Metroid is kind of out of our league as it's Nintendo's game, but we're still in close touch with co-creator [Yoshio] Sakamoto-san, so we want to do something with him moving forward definitely," Hayashi told VG24/7. "It really depends on what he wants to do with the game first."
That statement may or may not come as good news to Metroid fans, given the—well, let's just say mixed opinions on Metroid: Other M. Of course, the most negative of comments over that game typically come from elements that weren't the responsibility of Team Ninja—but, rather, the game's writing and handling of Samus as a character.
Would you like to see Team Ninja involved in another Metroid game?

Mista Mista ft. Jon Hope, Taktix & Crucial - All In
Artist: Roger Will
Featuring: Jon Hope
Producer: LJC
Album: No Greater Love
Avg Rating: 4.0 ( 21 votes )
Looks like we can add another name to the list of rappers doing it big despite hailing from the smallest state in the country: with Jon Hope, Theo Martins, Starrs & Murph, and now Mista Mista grinding to put Providence, R.I. on the map, we may be watching a full-blown movement take form. On his latest single, the doubly-named Booth newcomer informs us that, when it comes to succeeding in the game, he's not about to compromise: he and his crew are All In. LJC mans the boards, serving up a syncopated keyboard-percussion groove as the emcee boasts about his mic skills, his charisma and, yes, his modesty ("I'm too humble sometimes…"). Supporting Mista on the guest tip are Jon Hope (who just dropped his Booth-sponsored WaterFire mixtape) and rapper/producer Taktix, who match the headliner's larger-than-life bars with some dope braggadocio of their own. Finally, R.I. neighbor Crucial introduces himself to the Booth with a densely-packed closing 16. Craving more new tunes from this Ocean State upstart? Then grab a copy of his latest full-length, No Greater Love, when it drops October 19.

There's another high-profile computer breach you need to know about. StubHub is the latest victim to be hit by a massive international cyber fraud ring.

A female Rothschild giraffe, named Sandy Hope, stands next to it's mother at the LEO Zoological Conservation Center in Greenwich, Connecticut April 2, 2013. REUTERS/Adrees Latif
COPENHAGEN: Copenhagen Zoo has killed a healthy giraffe because of rules imposed by a European zoo association to deter inbreeding despite a wave of online protests to save it.
Zoo spokesman Tobias Stenbaek Bro says it put down the male giraffe, named Marius, on Sunday using a bolt pistol and will feed its meat to carnivores in the zoo.
Stenbaek Bro says the zoo was recommended to put down the giraffe by the European Association of Zoos and Aquaria because there were already a lot of giraffes with similar genes in the organization's breeding program.
Stenbaek Bro said EAZA membership isn't mandatory but most responsible zoos are members of the organization, which works to conserve global biodiversity.
An online petition to save Marius had received more than 20,000 signatures.

Like their forebears who posted the punk, history weighs on Party of One. Titles like "Belgrade Sends Its Regards" notwithstanding, Fifteen's songs aren't literally topicalthey're more like prehensile sketches of universal dread. The gloomy bassline of "Six Million Anonymous Deceased" propels Fifteen into a morass of state terror and private desire, dogged by memories of a girl wearing a yellow star ("She was a Zionist, baby, and she broke my heart!"), while the song's hummable chorusnothing more than the titlehumanizes the nightmare.
Negation-cottage-industry chronicler Greil Marcus once wrote in these pages that the idea behind Elvis Costello's Armed Forces is that fascism survived the war by going underground and into our daily lives. Party of One follow it to the basement, the symbolic if not actual arena where Caught the Blast was recorded on an eight-track. The fuzzy blast running through it is the sound of a band's subterranean practice space as heard from the sidewalk above. In this season of geopolitical truth-twisting and Matrix metaphors, that basement sounds like Zion. Making no-fi sound like a moral imperative, Party of One sing a song for everyone: "The future looks good, but I ain't gonna let it."

This 1963 Lincoln Continental is owned by Bill Blaylock of Williamsport.
"I love owning a car that's a piece of history," Blaylock said. "Anyone who has seen a picture of President John F. Kennedy riding through Dallas on the day he was killed has seen the front of this Lincoln; it's a very recognizable car.
"People come up to me all the time at car shows to comment on it, usually telling me stories about where they were or how old they were when they heard the news that JFK was shot. A few people have used it for their wedding car, too. It is very impressive and sleek-looking."

Two of my cats loved them the other two were not so enthused
posted 7 years ago
Two of my cats loved these treats and the other two were not so enthused. The treats don't seem to cause stomach upset but they haven't had that many of them yet. Price seems ok for the treats.
Pros: Two of my four cats really liked these and they are a good treat since they also benefit their teeth
Cons: No cons yet but if stomach upset happens I will update this review
4 of 4 people found this review helpful.
Did you?
The taste and texture are right
posted 6 years ago
I'm not sure how this treat can help tartar control unless it was fed twice a day. But my cats like the taste and they are crunchy. They do have a grainy type texture which is probably for the tartar control.
Over all, my finicky cats like it, so I like it.
Pros: My cats like the taste, chrunch
Cons: Not sure how it could help on tartar
