(4DP) Help! I've changed my Luxbet account password through the website and passcode doesn't work.
When an account password is changed customers have to reset their passcode through their device.
(iOS) Do I have to delete my existing Luxbet app before downloading the new app?
No, however a small number of customers might need to. This can be done by pressing down on the app icon until a (X) appears in the top left hand corner. Tapping the (X) again will present a message asking users to delete the app.
(iOS) Why does Luxbet ask to 'Use Your Current Location' the first time I open the app?
Luxbet is required by Apple to request that Location Services are enabled due to legal requirements in countries where online wagering is prohibited. Luxbet does not have access to, or require, customers location information.
(iOS) When placing a Racing Exotic bet I get an error message 'This type of combination bet is not allowed with the current selections'.
When this occurs customers should log out and log back in. This should allow them to place Exotic bets.
(iOS) When placing a Racing Win/Place bet I get an error message 'Selection not available for betting'. What does this mean?
Occasionally Win/Place betting will not be available for a selection even though the App displays it as available.
(Android) How do I download the Luxbet app?
This version of the Luxbet App is downloaded direct from Luxbet and not through the Google Play market. This requires the Android device to allow installation of non-Market apps which can be configured through Settings > Security > Device administration > Unknown Sources, Allow installation of non-Market apps.
(Android) How do I install the Luxbet app?
Click through to http://bit.ly/n7uIXQ on your Android device and the download will begin immediately. Once the download has completed open the Notifications toolbar (top of screen) and select LuxbetAndroid.apk to begin installation.
(Android) When browsing sports pages the match/game selection freezes
There can be an issue that causes the match/game selection to freeze when browsing sports events after pressing the device's 'back' button. A workaround is to refresh the screen using the refresh function found under the menu button.
How do I enable multi-mode?
Giving the device a quick shake should be enough to enable multi-mode and a green message will display in the centre of the screen. Shaking the device again will display a red message and turn multi-mode off.
Can I join, deposit or withdraw through the apps?
Yes, you can now create an account and deposit through the apps. Please log in to Luxbet.com or call Customer Service on 1300 589 238 to make a withdrawal.

1 Samuel 16:1-13; Psalm 23; Ephesians 5:8-14; John 9:1-41
Psalm 23
A folk-singing friend taught me that if I could link a sermon to a
song, listeners would remember the song, and thus be more likely to
remember the sermon. Music resides in a part of the brain that is
resistant to amnesia, he said.
Samuel, the Billy Graham of his day, was adviser to the political leader Saul, the Pete Rose of ancient Israel. Samuel anointed Saul to be the first king of Israel. But soon (to quote James Thurber), "confusion got its foot in the door" and went through the entire "system." Samuel observed Saul disobeying the explicit word of God, and it became Samuel's job to inform Saul that God had rejected him as king.
The 23rd Psalm has led us in the paths of comfort all the days of our lives. But sometimes we have trouble hearing the things that are closest to us. Psalm 23 was a cherished hymn for the Hebrews. So when we read and sing the psalms as Christians, we are to some degree also in Jewish territory. It is wise to remember the nature of the Jews' history with God.
Psalm 23Samuel 16:1-13Ephesians 5:8-14John 9:1-41
In a church I served, one of the pillars of the congregation stopped by my office just before services to tell me he'd been "born again.""You've been what?" I asked."Yes," he said, "last week I visited my brother-in-law's church, the Running River of Life Tabernacle, and I don't know what it was, but something happened and I'm born again."

Michigan looks to expand mental health courts
Earlier this month, a group of House Republican lawmakers introduced a four-bill package that would create a permanent system of mental health treatment courts in Michigan.
Currently there are 16 such courts scattered across the state, many of which were part of a state-funded pilot program that began in 2009. According to a 2012 evaluation of that pilot program from the Michigan Department of Community Health, the courts have had significant success in lowering recidivism rates among participants.
Genesee County probate judge Jennie Barkey, who has presided over one of the state's first mental health courts, and Al Platt, Ingham County Supervisor of Adult Mental Health Services, join the Current State and explain how the courts work and why they think more are needed.

of MDR TB patients. It is estimated that 50 percent of MDR TB cases worldwide occur in China and India. Other countries with large numbers of MDR TB cases include Bangladesh, Indonesia, Myanmar, Nigeria, Pakistan, the Philippines, and South Africa.
This chapter begins by briefly reviewing the difficulties involved in estimating the burden of MDR TB. It then looks at MDR and XDR TB first in South Africa and then in China. The fourth section presents an historical perspective on MDR TB control efforts. The final section details remaining challenges in global efforts to combat MDR TB.
The official figures for MDR TB prevalence and incidence raise many questions. Farmer cited official numbers of 1.5 million cases of MDR TB, with 500,000 new cases annually. But he raised the question of how prevalence could remain at 1.5 million with 500,000 new cases annually given existing rates of mortality and transmission.
Farmer acknowledged that estimating the prevalence and incidence of diseases such as TB is extremely complicated. In Lesotho and Peru, for example, similar conditions exist. They include poor health care infrastructures, limited access to diagnostics, fragmented health care delivery systems, a lack of public support for TB care, varying levels of knowledge about TB among providers, inadequate infection control, and a shortage of appropriate drugs for circulating strains. However, the importance of these factors differs considerably between the two countries. In Lesotho, for example, transnational migration is a significant part of the problem, but it is much less important in Peru. These differences make modeling and quantification difficult. Farmer quoted the French poet Paul Valéry: "All that is simple is false, and all that is complex is useless."
Farmer noted that modeling is a good way to estimate the size of a problem. It may be the case, as some have insisted, that half of TB cases are not diagnosed at all and that the number of drug-resistant TB cases is unknown. But important progress has been made in the past decade. XDR TB is recognized as a serious health issue. Molecular diagnostics have created a much deeper understanding of the resistance problem. According to Farmer, it will be especially useful to link a social medicine perspective on the disease with new molecular techniques to better appreciate the dimensions of the epidemic, as well as the directions in which it is headed (see Box 2-1).

Disastrous spring costing Mo. billions of dollars
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. First a tornado tore through the St. Louis airport. Then rising waters swamped small towns and flooded miles of fertile farmland along the Mississippi River. Then the nation's deadliest tornado in six decades ripped apart the city of Joplin.
Thirty days of destruction in Missouri. Billions of dollars of damage. And it may not be done, as communities along the Missouri River from St. Joseph to St. Louis brace for a new round of flooding.
The economic aftershocks of Missouri's spring of disasters may be felt for years, even by many who weren't personally affected by the storms. Insurance premiums are likely to increase for home and vehicle owners. Restaurants and retail shops are likely to see lower sales in southeast Missouri. Utility rates are likely to rise in the southwestern part of the state. And Missouri's budget - already out of balance - now is tens of millions of dollars deeper in the hole, which could lead to more cuts to government services and schools.
"It's not just the loss of lives, but this is a horrible economic blow to the state of Missouri," said state House Speaker Steven Tilley, a Republican whose home district is near the Mississippi River.
Missouri may be an extreme example. But it's far from alone in a spring of brutal weather.
Tornadoes have wreaked havoc from Alabama to Massachusetts, while floods have inundated states from Montana to Louisiana. The recent Joplin tornado and a series of twisters that ravaged the South in late April caused a combined insurance loss of up to $8 billion, according to preliminary estimates from Eqecat, a firm that analyzes the effect of catastrophes for insurers and government agencies.
Even before the recent flooding in the West and upper Midwest, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers said about 6.8 million acres had been flooded this year - an area equivalent to the entire state of Massachusetts.
One recent day, highway engineer Richard Wallace drove his four-wheel drive truck down the gravel of Mississippi County Road 310 in southeast Missouri to survey the damage from receding floodwaters. He was forced to stop.
"I'm looking at a section right now that looks like part of the Grand Canyon," said an amazed Wallace, staring at a gaping crevice in the road. "It's just unreal."
In Mississippi County, where the corps blew open the Birds Point levee to relieve flooding pressure on nearby Cairo, Ill., local officials estimated the water may have caused $75 million in damage to roads, bridges and public infrastructure. Flooding also wiped out about half of the county's farm acreage - a particularly severe blow for an area that ranks among Missouri's leading wheat and soybean producers and whose economy depends on agriculture. Missouri Farm Bureau President Blake Hurst says 570,000 acres of cropland have been flooded, costing Missouri farmers anywhere from $150 million to $400 million.
Less money for farmers also means less money for retailers, restaurant owners and just about everyone else in the region. The flooding is projected to reduce sales revenues by $93 million in Mississippi County alone - a decline of about 14 percent, said Bruce Domazlicky, director of the Center for Economic and Business Research at Southeast Missouri State University.

Getting Close

I have seen some other people on blogs post some commonly used phrases on the trail. So, I figured I would do that now so those of you reading this would have some idea of what I am talking about.
AT: An acronym for the Appalachian Trail
NoBo: This refers to a hiker that is hiking north from Georgia to Maine
SoBo: This refers to a hiker that is hiking south from Maine to Georgia
Flip-Flop: ...
Drove over to the Riverfront in Shreveport and checked it out. Really nice area. Four or five casinos. Went and ate lunch at Bodacious Bar-B-Q in Bossier City. It was awesome. We had pulled pork sandwiches and peach cobble!
Went back to Louisiana Downs to catch some horse races, but they were already over. They have quarter horse racing in the winter.
Tomorrow we are heading ...
Highway 61 Visited
Today we drove the Blues Highway from Tunica, to Vicksburg. Then west to Monroe, La., finally ending up at Harrah's Louisiana Downs. It is a horse race track and casino. It was 32 degrees when we left. 50 when we arrived.
On the way we drove into Clarksdale, Ms. For one photo. The Crossroads. This is where blues guitarist Robert Johnson sold his soul to the devil in exchange for being a successful artist. The intersection is highway 61 and 49.
My Gear
... about the trail and he helped me cut down the weight of my gear. He reassured my notion that although having top of the line gear is awesome, gear alone isn't going to get me to Maine, my attitude and perspective is. I've been trying my best to get mentally prepared for not only the fun and amazing experiences the trail has to offer, but also the cold and rainy days where all ...
The What, The Where , and The Why
... medical school my focus will have to be solely on my education. Before I embark on that next chapter of my life I wanted to use my year off to do something memorable and challenging. Since making the decision to thru-hike the AT I have been tirelessly researching gear, saving money, and preparing mentally. I am estimating the trip to take me approximately four and a half months, so you can only imagine ...

Borderlands 2
Anyone know what the mysterious amulet does yet?
CRadames posted...
Yeah I can't find any Lair of Atrocities or a "Mr. Wiz"
It's the dungeon part way through the game.
Though the Lair's actual name is Lair of Infinite Agony.
EX_Cirnochao222 posted...
Though the Lair's actual name is Lair of Infinite Agony.
Was already through there, did a quest for Simon, didn't see a Mr. Wiz anywhere
Happy Birthday!
Sorry, my mistake, I was thinking of something else. It's Lair of Infinite Agony, the last proper map before the end of the DLC. Mr Wiz apparently doesn't have a 100% chance to spawn given what other people have said (he appeared first time for me), so you may need to quit and restart at the Fast Travel, and see if a yellow ! spawns on the map near to it.
All you do is talk to him, choose to buy the amulet instead of smacking his bravo-itch ass, and then equip it.
Lie with passion and be forever damned...
The Lair is that dungeon place where you fight
"Meaning is subjective and therefore meaningless."
SamuriChameleon posted...

It seems to be like the juggernaut quest in the fridge, it's a random event that he'll be on the map. You can tell if he's around by the exclamation point, but you'll always have that "Undiscovered Quest" line in your quest log for the Lair.

SamuriChameleon posted...The Lair is that dungeon place where you fight
that goliath spawns in the same place everytime after you kill laney.
nothing random about it.
some of yall have as much of an opinion as inanimate objects.
Finally got him to spawn earlier
I had actually already defeated the raid boss before and he didn't show. But I did do that with my brother so I solo'd it this time in case there was a glitch, still no dice. Saved and quit in Sanctuary, turned off the game, dude still wouldn't show. Got fed up and joined a different friend for a while in his game.
Went back and Miz was FINALLY there. I think everybody's got the wrong idea. While he is technically a quest giver, the only comparison I can make is Michael Mamaril. He's a quest-giving Michael Mamaril.
Happy Birthday!

Thanks everyone…
grizzman…this box looks different because I did not put a finish on it. I don't really need to lower the prices because I sold it and the other two Cocobolo boxes I had to a box collector client moments after posting it on Lumberjocks. I always send out emails to my clients after completing each box…
Andy…my customer wanted it unfinished so he could have a variety of finishes.
Paul…the reason I didn't want to take this to the shows was that I liked it…but I ended up selling it and the others just a little while ago.

Greg, I've been watching your work and I think you do fantastic carvings. I am wanting to try this, could you please tell me how long it takes you to do one of these boxes. I'm assuming you use a grinder, do you use the 2" or 4" carving blade and is it fine or coarse grit. I tried the 4" kutzall and had a hard time controlling my cut so I am trying to figure out something I can use as a guide. Maybe it will just take some time for me to learn how to control it better. I am wanting to carve picture frames but want to try a box also. Thanks in advance for your help.

Good stuff

I had to use this on my water dragon and tried it on my mountain kingsnake once. I picked up the water dragon as neglect case and this stuff helped him shed the several layers that had built up. Because the kingsnake was well cared for the product wasn't needed.

I have worked on a few old computers. My sister gave me a 2002 HP, that has always been on dialup. It has no ethernet port. Both ports are the smaller ones for phone lines. I've never run across one like this. Probably just set it up wireless, but just wondered if this is unusual?
Not unusual for a 10 year old computer.
Desk top or lap top?
Why not just open it up and replace the modem card with a ethernet card, less than $20, a wireless setup will cost more and you still have to open it up.
Desk top. I'm going to give it to one of my 3 year old grandaughters, after I put some games on it. Wireless will make it easier for my daughter.
If there are 2 phone jacks, it is likely that one jack is for the phone to plug into. It was intended to go wall -> modem -> phone.
If the computer is running Windows XP or better, no need to open it up. Just put a USB wifi dongle on it and call it a day.
It's a little unusual. Even 10 years ago most of the desktops had ethernet built into the mobo. That's not saying the onboard was always any good.

"Customer service was so helpful and sweet when I called to fix a text error. I put down my ceremony time as 4:30 in the morning OOPS! They arrived so so soooo quick and are absolutely beautiful. Perfect for a rustic shabby chic wedding theme!"
"We were very happy with the finished product! We used various photos from our engagement session and the quality and color turned out great! We were very happy with the thickness of the paper quality. All of our guests loved our invites - we received several compliments about how cute they turned out!"
"Georgeous invitation. A tidbit if you will be placing the invitation on an envelopment, I found no need to pay for the extra cardstock price as you will be taping the card to the envelopement."
"These invitations swept me away! I almost cried just seeing them because they met my every expectation and exceeded it! The card stock is so high quality I could seriously be a weirdo and rub the invitation between my fingers all day that's how good it feels! Everyone that's seen here commented how perfect they are! I'm excited to send these out!"
"Changes requested were made quickly and correctly. Invitations are even more beautiful than they looked in the pictures. Arrived almost a week earlier than the quoted delivery date. Highly recommend."

Ok here we go lets see which guy the dictator feels will bring the most in the PPV instead of allowing the next guy in line to fight faber.
UFC President Dana White confirms on FUEL's UFC Tonight that bantamweight contender Urijah Faber will indeed fight at UFC 148. The fight will be for the interim UFC title as champion Dominick Cruz was forced out of his title defense fight with Faber with a torn ACL.
Here is what Dana had to say on the show,
"So, what's gonna happen is, Urijah Faber, he's gonna fight still. He's gonna fight on the same card. Now, I'm looking for the right opponent, the guy who deserves this shot at Urijah Faber." When asked will the fight be for an interim title Dana responds, "The answer is yes."
Dana went on to talk about how how Cruz injured his ACL at the Ultimate Fighter training center and that Cruz will remain on the TUF as coach.
Ok here we go lets see which guy the dictator feels will bring the most in the PPV instead of allowing the next guy in line to fight faber.
You're right the top of this division is pretty thin. Scott Jorgensen probably gets the shot.
OK, so you're not a fan of Dana White. We get it. But you do realize he is arguably the most important person as far as the growth of MMA. If it wasn't for Dana these guys would still be fighting for a $1,000 in some crappy mid-west arena. He's probably the reason this website even exists (no offense intended to the creators of cagetoday). You call him 'The Dictator', I call him 'The Man".
Ya but it is fun to bust on daddy Dana. B)
Ok, fair enough… I still love the guy.
Cruz and Faber are the only fighters worth a mention in that division.

Review"I come here every Memorial Day. It's a great place to spend a good portion of the day they teach you how the beer is made, where the products come from and even let you sample some at the end of the tour. They also offer a Beer Masters Tour which I have yet to try but have heard only good things. My favorite part is the onsite clydesdale horses, they're so beautiful. I suggest this tour to any one even if they aren't Bud fans." – Yelp Review
Review"What could be better than seeing the Clydesdales and getting beer for free. Such a beautiful area to walk around and the tour was actually interesting. Second time around for us. Wonderful Gift Shop, gifts for the "people who have everything". I'm sure we will be back." – Trip Advisor Review

Pizzeria Oceano in Lantana
Pizzeria Oceano in Lantana deserves its own thread... so here it is.
It's easily in the top 5 pizzas of my life.
For what it's worth, I grew up on Long Island, went to school in Brooklyn, and worked in NYC. So I've gone through some pretty good pizza.
I've had much of the best of NYC including Rays, Johns, Keste, etc. And more recently, in Florida, I've enjoyed Harry's, of course Anthony's, Tucci's, Nick's, Scuola Vecchia, and more.
I know I have missed some SoFla stars. That's been well covered in other threads, for example this one with 66 posts:
But Pizzeria Oceano has got to be at or very close to the top. And I know some of the most respected experts on this board agree.
I'll write more in later posts. And I hope others do too (Erica?).
But for now:
The service is friendly and excellent. I saw zero "Food Nazi" encounters. As I was sitting at the counter, a farmer walked in with boxes of fresh local greens (arugula, basil, etc) and delivered them to the kitchen. Minutes later, I was enjoying some of the basil on my slices.
Just check out these photos!!!
* Front Window
* Exterior at about 6PM Wednesday
* My "Whole Basic Pizza" with added "Crumbled Speck Americano".
* My Pie, One slice removed. "House made mozzarella, Olive Oil, Pecorino Romano, Tomato Sauce and Basil"
* A slice of heaven
* The Wood Oven
* Chefs at Work
* Tell me you don't want this slice!
Open Tuesday-Saturday from appx 5:30 until not sure.
Cash only, expect a wait, just chill. Good craft beers and wine.
201 E Ocean Ave
Lantana, FL 33462
(561) 429-5550
re: Frodnesor
And if the pizza isn't enough to get you up here more often...
They also sell (when available) Royal Reds, head on, by the pound!
(They have a little side-market retail operation).
Meanwhile, ohhh I wish I could go right now, on today's special menu:
Speck Pizza – roasted onion, asiago, mozzarella,
pickled peppers, black pepper and scallion
re: CFByrne
I tried some royal reds for the first time last week. These were caught off Fernandina Beach, Florida. I bought them (head off & shelled) from Cod & Capers and made a white wine/lemon/chipotle cream sauce with some fresh store bought pasta. I will make it to PO one day soon!
I MAY make a return visit this evening (Thursday Feb 21) at 5:30PM.
If anyone is interested in joining for a casual, unplanned, unannounced "meetup", please let me know at the email addy below.
So, in other words, if you are thinking of coming, don't write now reply to this with "Cool I'll be there" or "Can you make it some other date / time" or "Let us know how it went".
Instead, send an email to the below address.

re: CFByrne
SO glad you enjoyed! But I can't tell you that I don't want that slice!
Best pizza I've had in FL. Went there last year after reading Frod's post in foodforthought. The sauce has a great acidic sweetness. If I didn't live so far out, I'd be a regular.
re: Blind Mind
Had another excellent early dinner at Oceano last night.
Salad of thinly-shaved celery root studded with meaty black (Gaeta?) olives and pecorino, with chunks of fresh, sauteed whiting on the side. ($11)
1 Basic pizza--simple and excellent, with mozzarella and pecorino, fresh basil ($15)
1 Kale pizza--Asiago, mozzarella, pecorino, capers, blanketed with fresh kale--one of the best I've tried here so far. ($17)
With two glasses of wine ($8 each) total for 3 diners was $62 with tax, before tip. I hope to return soon.
re: erica
Thanks for the write-up. I went 2x recently to "scout out" while Mrs CFB was away.
Now she's dying to go - probably tomorrow will be the day, as she gets home from work early on Fri sometimes, and I want to be at P/O right at open.
One of the new highlights of my mornings is seeing what goodies they've posted for the night's menu.
For example, tonight:
Cherry Tomato Pizza – mozzarella, asiago, garlic,
sea salt, lemon, chives & nepitella 18
Picholine Olive Pizza – mahón queama, mozzarella,
shallots, cumin seed, cilantro and chili oil 18
Ohhh I don't know if I can wait 36 hours!
re: CFByrne
BTW to save the Miami folks from doing the math...
"Our Basic Pizza – house made mozzarella, olive oil,
pecorino romano, tomato sauce and basil $15"
63.7 miles from 1930 Bay Road Miami Beach, to 201 E Ocean Ave, Lantana.
$3.77 Current Avg gas price in FL.
re: CFByrne
I'm going to be driving by this weekend, twice, and will try to stop in having Lucali fresh on my mind and palate.
I wanted to thank CFB for POSTING THE HOURS in the original post! The place's website, yelp, urbanspoon, etc. etc. are silent, and 4 calls today have all gone unanswered.
re: CFByrne
35 mpg in your Prius, 4 gallons round trip @ $3.77, $15 basic pizza. Listening to Outlaw Country on Sirius/XM -- priceless.
I suspect the cost of the drive, from SoBe to Pizzeria Oceano, and the cost of the pizza itself would equal the cost of the excellent pizza at Lucali -- but you wouldn't have to so vigorously defend the $26-$28 cost of the pizza itself.
Pizza -- acqua & farina -- is a simple dish, composed of simple ingredients. Unless, of course, created and served in SoBe.
re: southocean
If you are referring to Lucali, it seems Oceano serves much more creative pies than Lucali. I don't really get your point.

See you looking at the life, you looking at the lights
You looking at the ice, you ain't looking at the Trice
from Obie Trice (Ft. Eminem) – Lady Lyrics on Genius
The girl is looking at the expensive lifestyle Obie Trice lives, looking at all the shining lights which is a metaphor for riches. They are also looking at his diamonds, another sign of his wealth, instead of looking at Obie himself.

Ferris Wheel, 2013
Price on Request
In this new exhibition, Leahy arranges a series of paintings that read as one installation moving around the gallery space. Figurative image fragments juxtapose and combine in sequences, creating a presence both surprising and familiar. Images echo and amplify, repeating in different ways, layering perceptually, evoking themes and possible contingencies. The painting process and surface evidence a huge compression of time and attention, as gradually the image develops, coming into focus. The viewer experiences a similar unfolding. Careful ordering of the people, spaces and manmade structures, suggest a sense of self and quiet, resonant moment.
"Leahy's moody paintings are made through a labor-intensive process involving ink washes painted on clear plexiglass sheets and sanded with fine grade sandpaper. Slowly burnishing and refining the surface, and building up a dense but translucent image, Leahy creates an image of a space that seems charged and strangely alive-dark and luminous."
- Mary Birmingham, Curator, Visual Arts Center of New Jersey.
"Why Sarah Leahy's work? It is startling, memorable. The self-imposed constraints of her technique (successive additions and subtractions of ink on plexiglass) induce a rich querying of that surface. Within the contrast of black and white it is as if within this sparseness each aspect of visual ordering is intensified, and in this no-color situation it is to be noticed that suddenly and strangely, subliminal color is released that lingers hauntingly."
- Pat Adams, catalogue excerpt "Women Choose Women Again."
Sarah Leahy is a New York based artist that has been with the gallery for over a decade. Artist, Pat Adams, recently chose Leahy for the exhibition "Women Choose Women Again" that was curated by Mary Birmingham at the Visual Art Center in New Jersey. Leahy has been the recepient of a grant from the New York Foundation for the Arts, and a studio recepient from the Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts. Her artwork has been reviewed in the New York Times.

I've been commenting on my absolute opposition to publicly endorsing the re-election of President Obama, on the basis that any candidate should have to win my vote for the current election.
No seconds just because you're the person in the seat, as it were.
I've amazed any number of Kossacks for having that viewpoint, I know, because they've replied to my comments with amazement at my stance.
Today, I have decided to give that up and the reason why is below the Fleur-de-Kos...
I've watched all of the Republican Debates, including tonight's.
Their candidate pool is shrinking, but so is their sanity factor.
Tonight's display of Republican icky started right at the first bell.
The first topic of interest and the first question of the night went to Newt Gingrich.
The topic?
former 2nd wife's television interview with ABC today, and her statements that the former Speaker of the House and values voters candidate since the late 1970s had asked her for an "open marriage" and her compliance in his sexual perfidy.
When the Debate Moderator, John King, asked Gingrich, point blank about this, and
"Would you like to take some time to respond to that?" asked King.Yeah, that's right. The public gets the news that another Republican politician is a cheezy schmuck who just can't get enough sex from his wife, and that this one had the nerve to ask his then-current wife's permission to screw around on her, and the candidate's response is not to apologize for his former behavior.
"No, but I will," said a visibly angered Gingrich, earning sustained applause.
"The destructive, vicious, negative nature of much of the news media makes it harder to govern this country, harder to attract decent people to run for public office, and I am appalled that you would begin a presidential debate on a topic like that," he said.
The crowd in Charleston, S.C., leapt to its feet and cheered.
Hell no.
His response? Rebuke the moderator for having the nerve to ask him about it!
The crowd? These are the same people who've been cheering at the idea of letting poor people just die if they weren't
smart lucky enough to have a job and some healthcare insurance. The ones who can't get enough of the ideas of Ron Paul and Rick Perry - to wit, that all healthcare and financial assistance from the federal government is an overreach of power and should end, including Medicare and Social Security.
These maroons gave Newt Gingrich a fucking standing ovation for rebuking the moderator for having the gall to ask such a question!
Plus, Twitter is now flush with references to this YouTube video, which I present to you in all it's (55 seconds) of glory.
So. I'm giving up my principled stand of requiring the President win my vote.
The opposition is insane and their supporters are lemmings on the trot to the cliff.
And anyone who can give a reasonable rendition of a classic Al Green song?
Good enough for me.
If you liked this diary, please go read THIS ONE, by Patience John.
You'll be glad you did.

From the PublisherFrom the reviews:
"The current volume comprises 25 archaeological science papers resulting from Korfmann's programme of fieldwork, originally presented at a conference … . both the editors and publishers are to be congratulated on the rapidity with which this volume has appeared. … As expected from a Springer publication, the volume is attractively presented and makes excellent use of colour illustrations. … it will be a useful addition to libraries of institutions which have an interest in the east Mediterranean Bronze Age … ."

Eric Shupps did such a great job with the first SharePoint Saturday Dallas announcement that I am going to borrow his text…
Today we are officially announcing the first ever SharePoint Saturday event to be held in Dallas on July 25th, 2009. SharePoint Saturday is a free community-focused SharePoint event dedicated to educating and engaging members of the local technical community. Much like user groups and other community oriented events, SharePoint Saturday draws upon the expertise of local SharePoint IT professionals, developers and solutions architects who come together to share their real-world experiences, lessons learned, best practices, and general knowledge with other like-minded individuals.
SharePoint Saturday will be hosted at the Microsoft campus in Las Colinas and is free to anyone who wants to attend. The day starts at 9:00 AM with a short introductory keynote and ends at 4:30 PM. Lunch will be provided and there will be numerous giveaways throughout the day. There will be three primary content tracks – IT Professional, Developer, and Architect – from which attendees may select the topics which most closely align with their job function or area of interest. Each track will consist of five presentations lasting approximately an hour and ranging from introductory, 100-level content to highly-technical, 400-level "expert" sessions. Speakers will represent a broad cross section of the community and offer a variety of different perspectives and points of view.
SharePoint Saturday is a great opportunity to learn, share and network. Please join us on Saturday, July 25th for a full day of education and excitement. A full session schedule will be posted soon. We look forward to seeing you there!

Perfect for retirees, families, girls' weekends and couples' getaways, Seaside Serenity is ideal for those who enjoy fishing, browsing shops, playing golf, hitting the casinos, and discovering favorite local eateries. It is a cheerful and restorative alternative to the hectic hubbub of busy beach resorts.
This was such a cute house! We loved it! It was very nice, clean, wonderfully decorated and had the feeling of home.
A much needed trip!! My family of four (including two teenage girls) had more than enough room. The girls had the top floor with large rooms and a spacious bathroom. The living area was perfect for us, we enjoyed watching movies. Cooking in the well stocked kitchen was a breeze. We enjoyed a short drive to excellent dining and shopping. Huge yard!!! The girls had a blast walking right across the street to the beach, practically just us there!! So nice for family time!! It was cool out but we couldn't resist with the privacy. We HIGHLY recommended this condo. Margaret goes above and beyond to help if you need anything. The cleaning service does an amazing job. Just love love love it!!! booking our next stay right now!!
This vacation home was amazing! Cozy, beautiful, spacious... Having three boys, I loved having the extra living area upstairs! The location is gorgeous. Short walk to the beach or short drive to restaurants and attractions. Margaret is quick to respond to questions or requests , and supplied above and beyond all the little details that makes a vacation comfortable.
This is an adorable property in a small town; hence you share the beach with no one! The house was clean and charmingly appointed, the neighbors are hidden from view and the town is quiet and pleasant. We wanted to stay away from the hustle and bustle of tourist beach life and chose this property specifically for that reason. If you want to be a part of that crowd, go down the highway to Gulfport or Biloxi. We had plenty of choices for wonderful local dining, but the kitchen has everything you would need for eating in also. Some might be put off by the local train going by, but our 2 year old granddaughter thought that was the best entertainment ever! The owner was easy to work with and very accommodating when we were trying to choose dates to come. We hope to rent this property again someday - thank you, Margaret!
Whether you are a couple looking for a romantic getaway or a family looking for adventure, this place has it all. We have used a lot of vacation rental sites and this house and location is by far the best so far. The owner has taken great care to make sure all your needs are met, including a full supply of basic first aid items. The decor is super. A full array of recreational needs are met from two bikes to beach chairs and umbrella.
We were only there for three nights but this place allowed us to experience the Gulf Coast in a unique and relaxing way. The beach is so close and we had it practically to ourselves.
We will be back, hopefully sooner rather than later.
The house is gorgeous and the owner is very considerate. We had a lovely time riding bikes, playing at the beach and visiting Ship Island. The house was so warm and well thought out that we didn't want to leave!
Delightful, beautifully designed and well-built 3 bedroom 'home away from home.' 1 block from the beach off scenic HWY 90 on Cedar Ave and a 3-minute drive to the historic and charming town of Pass Christian. Have morning coffee or evening beverages on the front porch. Walk down to the shore. Run or stroll along the pristine, uncrowded beach, or just take along a chair and enjoy watching the pelicans, gulls and egrets. 45 minutes to New Orleans, minutes from Casinos, and some of the best festivals in the south. Come, sit, and relax. Enjoy!!!

From the Publisher"Prose is casual and understandable; not stuffy or full of jargon. Problems are realistic and motivating for students, but solvable. Working through problems within a spreadsheet provided by the authors along side text discussion is invaluable for the learning experience."
"More simplistic and to the point. Not to much extra material above and beyond the stuent's level. I also enjoyed the more focused approach toward simulations!! Good business examples are used with nice introductory paragraphs for each chapter. The CD that accompanies the book contains wonderful solution sets and useful supplemental programs."

By Ed BrockBy Monday the city of Jonesboro plans to start issuing licenses for selling liquor by the drink in the city. Lisa Ison, owner of Harold's Barbecue on Jonesboro Road, will be one of the first in line. "I'm happy and excited," Ison said. "I've been waiting on this for a long time." The Jonesboro City Council approved the final version of the ordinance that regulates the issuing of the licenses at last Monday night's meeting. The law took effect immediately but the city is still preparing the paperwork. In July citizens of the city voted 128 to 58 in favor of allowing the by-the-drink liquor sales. Supporters of the move say it will bring in new restaurants and businesses to the city's downtown. "I think it will help my night business a lot," said Ison. "My night business right now is almost non-existent." Ison said she also plans to start having live entertainment at the restaurant after she gets her license. Her grandfather, Harold Hembree, started the restaurant that now bears his name, and Ison bought it from her parents. So far the new ordinance has been getting a good response, said Jonesboro City Manager Jon Walker. "We've heard from some restaurant owners who are excited and think this will open up some potential for them," Walker said. The new ordinance also includes regulations on package liquor sales. "We took (the previous ordinance on package sales) and included it in the new ordinance that has to do with any sales of alcohol," Walker said. The fee for the license is $4,500 for retail consumption of distilled spirits, malt beverages and wine and $1,000 for consumption of malt beverages only or of wine only. To qualify for an on-premises consumption license the restaurant or lounge must have food sales that equal 65 percent of their gross revenues. Among the other restrictions are a prohibition against "brown bagging," in which customers bring their own alcohol to the establishment to drink, and the sale of hard liquor like whisky and vodka is still prohibited in packages and by the drink. Also, businesses within 100 yards of the nearest portion of the lot containing a church and 200 yards from a lot containing a school cannot receive a license. Ison said she's not sure if that will affect her chances, since Harold's stands next door to a church. Up the street from Harold's, Butch's Family Restaurant owners Gail and Bill Glancy have no intention of applying for a license to serve alcohol, since they have no intention of serving alcohol. It wouldn't be appropriate for a family restaurant, Gail Glancy said. She's not sure if her decision will impact her business. "I would hope not. I'll have to see," Glancy said.

$9K artwork bought for $12 at Milwaukee Goodwill
Sunday - 12/2/2012, 11:06am EST
By MARILYNN MARCHIONE
Associated Press
MILWAUKEE (AP) - "Red Nose" just meant a reindeer named Rudolph to Karen Mallet until she bought a print by that name for $12.34 at a Goodwill store in Milwaukee. It turned out to be a lithograph by American artist Alexander Calder worth $9,000.
Mallet's good fortune is at least the fourth time in six months that valuable art has turned up at Goodwill, where bargain-hunters search for hidden treasure among the coffee cups, jewelry, lamps and other household cast-offs.
Last month, a Salvador Dali sketch found at a Goodwill shop in Tacoma, Wash., sold for $21,000. Last summer, a North Carolina woman pocketed more than $27,000 for a painting she bought for $9.99 at Goodwill. And last spring, a dusty jug donated in Buffalo, N.Y., was discovered to be a thousands-of-years-old American Indian artifact _ it was returned to its tribe instead of being offered for sale.
When told of the Milwaukee woman's find, a Goodwill spokeswoman said workers at its 2,700 stores try to spot valuables and auction them on the organization's online auction site to net more money for the charitable group. But things slip through the cracks and the workers aren't art experts.
"That's kind of part of shopping at Goodwill _ the thrill of the hunt," said Cheryl Lightholder, communications manager for Goodwill in southeastern Wisconsin. "You never know what you're going to find."
Mallet, a media relations specialist for Georgetown University and others, didn't even like "Red Nose" when she first spotted it during one of her frequent Goodwill shopping trips in May.
"The big find that day was this great set of steel knives, in a block, for $18.99" by Wolfgang Puck, she said.
But the graphic black-and-white picture was striking. In low-browed terms, it might be described as an abstract image of an ape with a hangover, with spiral swirls for eyes like the ones in cartoons when someone gets punched. A large red nose is the only color.
Then she saw the Calder signature.
"I thought, I don't know if it's real or not but it's $12.99. I've wasted more on worse things," she said. A discount for using her Goodwill loyalty card brought the price down to $12.34.
Once home, she searched the Internet and found similar lithographs by Calder, who died in 1976 and is widely known for his mobiles and abstract sculptures at airports, office towers and other public places. Mallet's piece was No. 55 of 75 lithographs and was made in 1969.
Jacob Fine Art Inc., in suburban Chicago, recently set its replacement value at $9,000.
"This happens very frequently _ you can't imagine," the company's owner, Jane Jacob, said of treasures found at thrift stores. "They don't know what they have. They're just not set up to understand art history."
Lauren Lawson-Zilai, a spokeswoman for Goodwill Industries International Inc. in Rockville, Md., gave these examples of art that Goodwill staff spotted and sold through the auction site:
_ In 2009, a painting by Utah artist Maynard Dixon donated in Santa Rosa, Calif., sold for $70,001.
_ In 2008, a Baltimore-area Goodwill store netted $40,600 from a Parisian street scene painted by Impressionist Edouard-Leon Cortes.
_ In 2006, a Frank Weston Benson oil painting donated anonymously in Portland, Ore., brought in $165,002 _ Goodwill's top haul so far.
Mallet has no immediate plans to sell her "Red Nose."
"It grew on me," she said. "Now I love it."

30 March 2011 08:39 [Source: ICIS news]
SHANGHAI (ICIS)--Yip's Chemical Holding, the world's largest manufacturer of acetate solvents, reported a 39% rise in revenue to Hong Kong dollar (HK$) 5.65bn ($725m) for April-December 2010, the company said on Wednesday.
Improved market penetration helped the company expand its sales, resulting in the higher revenue as well as a 28% increase in its aggregate sales volume to 536,000 tonnes, Yip's Chemical added.
The company's net profit reached HK$265m, representing a decline of 21% year on year as the unusual volatility in raw material prices affected the margin of the group's core business, it added.
"However, we believe there is significant room for improvement and have sought to tackle this challenge by implementing effective measures to reduce the impact of raw material volatilities, thereby ensuring that the overall margins will return to a reasonable level within the next two to three years," said Tony Ip, chairman of Yip's Chemical.
The foundation has now been laid for the group to reach HK$10 billion in turnover by 2013, he added.
The group, which is headquartered in Hong Kong, focuses on the production and sale of petrochemical products with three core businesses comprising solvents, coatings and lubricants.
