The Foreign Mission Board of the Baptist Church in the United States has renewed its commitment to the restoration of the Suehn Industrial Training School in Bomi County.
The facilities were destroyed during Liberia's civil conflict, effectively shutting down the institution to date.
According to an Executive Mansion release, a delegation of the Foreign Mission Board, at a meeting with President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf on Wednesday, said they intend to prioritize reconciliation and industrial education at the new Suehn Mission.
Speaking on behalf of the delegation, Rev. Nicholas Richards of the Abyssinia Baptist Church said the new Suehn Mission and the two areas of concentration - reconciliation and industrial education - will serve as model for the African continent in enhancing reconciliation and quality education.
Rev. Richards noted that the new areas of focus will provide the opportunity for students of diverse cultural and tribal backgrounds to learn together, in harmony as boarding students, which would help support Liberia's quest for long-term reconciliation and, at the same time, contribute to the country's reconstruction.
The delegation also informed President Sirleaf of its intention to turn the area into a tourist attraction to further enhance employment and revenue generation for Liberia.
Responding, President Sirleaf welcomed the Suehn Mission restoration plan, seeing the concentrated areas of reconciliation and quality education as critical to Liberia's post-war recovery.
The Liberian leader, however, expressed concern over the failure of earlier initiatives to restore the Mission, and hoped the new plan would be fast-tracked in order to restore academic activities to the institution and the people within the area. "Government had earlier planned to take over the facilities for rehabilitation due to the delay in its rehabilitation to prevent the total collapse of the facilities," President Sirleaf said, adding, "but with the renewed commitment, I hope we will work together on the restoration plan."
The President suggested to the delegation to consider inviting retired United States teachers to form part of the teaching staff when the school is fully operational, as part of their desire to impact quality education at the school. Members of the delegation included: Rev. William Moore, Chairman; Rev. Nicholas Richards, Executive Secretary; Mr. Frank Tucker of the First Baptist Church in Washington, D.C.; and Mr. Joseph Yorgbor and Rev. Joseph Roberts, Presidents of the Suehn Alumni Association in the United States and Liberia, respectively.

There's nothing on the right-hand side, so there have been lots of people bailing out in that direction. Then they are left with a long chip and run, downhill, very fast, with the water just eight or 10 feet beyond, so accuracy is a great thing.

Oil drilling at center of Agriculture Commissioner race
Kate Bradshaw
WMNF Drive-Time News Tuesday | Listen to this entire show:
It might not be the first statewide race that comes to mind this year, but the contest for Commissioner of Agriculture and Consumer Services has gotten competitive. Both major-party candidates appeared at a Suncoast Tiger Bay Club meeting today, where everything from immigration to offshore drilling seeped into the discussion.
US Representative Adam Putnam, a Republican from Polk County and former Tallahassee mayor Scott Maddox, a Democrat, are vying to succeed Agriculture Commissioner Charles Bronson. Putnam said while many view agriculture as quaint, itâs still a vital component of the stateâs economy, and is still the stateâs second biggest industry.
Maddox agreed, and highlighted the cabinet positionâs role in protecting consumers.
The state commissioner of agriculture and consumer services is one of three official cabinet positions. The other two are attorney general and chief financial officer. One might wonder why Florida voters have to choose an agriculture commissioner every four years rather than let the governor appoint one. Putnam said itâs about the balance of power.
Unlike most statewide races this year, the two actually agreed on a few things, especially food safety and consumer protection issues. Both even said theyâre in favor of the Agriculture jobs act of 2009, which, if passed, would aim to improve working conditions for undocumented agriculture workers. Maddox told the audience such legislation is only fair.
Putnam, who has generally been in step with the Republican Party on immigration, said he wants to see a guest worker program.
A key difference between the two seems to be offshore drilling, though itâs unclear how directly the ag commissioner would have to deal with issues stemming from the practice. Current ag commissioner Charles Bronson, a Republican, is against it. Maddox told WMNF that, unlike Putnam, heâs opposed drilling for some time.
Just four days after the explosion at Deepwater Horizon, Putnam was quoted in the Panama City News-Herald saying he supported offshore oil exploration, especially in areas well offshore. His campaign told the web site PolitiFact that he was quoted well before the extent of the disaster was known. Another thing they disagreed on was how to regulate the phosphate industry. Maddox said while the industry is important, protecting Floridaâs environment is paramount.
Putnam, who represents a sizable chunk of phosphate country, disagreed.
While many of the races on the November 2nd ballot have impassioned voters divided along party lines, this might not be one of them. Tiger Bay Club Member Tammy Simms-Powel said she came here thinking Maddox had her full support, but now sheâs not so sure.
But St. Petersburg City Council member Wengay Newton, a Democrat, says heâs sticking with his party on this one.
While ag commissioner may be further down the ballot than US Senator and Governor, records show that running for the seat isnât exactly cheap. According to the Pinellas County supervisor of elections web site, Republican Putnam has raised more than two million dollars since January of last year, while Democrat Scott Maddox has more than 717,000 in contributions so far. Two others are running for ag commissioner. These are tea party candidate Ira Chester and Thad Hamilton, who is running without party affiliation.comments powered by Disqus

Residents dig out along Route 103By SANDI SWITZER
Correspondent | July 11,2013Photo by Sandi Switzer
Jennifer and William Lethbridges rental home on Route 103.WALLINGFORD A seven-months-pregnant woman and her family wont soon forget fleeing their home when nearly two feet of mud, rocks and debris washed down a hillside into their yard on Route 103 after a heavy downpour Tuesday.
This was worse than Irene, Jennifer Lethbridge said Wednesday.
The whole mountain came down on us, added her husband, William Lethbridge.
Water filled their basement, while mud several inches deep was deposited in the adjacent barn. The home was spared, but a lawnmower, chain saw, yard equipment and many other items stored in the barn sustained mud and water damage.
The couple, along with their 4-year-old daughter and dog, fled the rented home as flood waters swept through the area. Jennifer Lethbridge indicated the sudden rise of the water in the yard caught the family by surprise
When we left, the water was up to our knees and the dog had to swim to the car, she explained Wednesday afternoon as her husband and property owners George and Donna Chamberland and a friend worked nearby.
The group was knee deep in mud trying to clear a culvert filled with toys, a garbage can, chopped wood and even a childs swimming pool.
The mudslide swamped a vehicle behind the barn and was strong enough to move a hot tub more than 20 feet.
Luckily, my daughters toy car got caught up in the swing set or it would have washed away, Jennifer Lethbridge said.
The couple indicated it would likely be a week before they could return to their home. Donna Chamberland said they did not have flood insurance on the property.
Next door neighbor Robert Kapusta, who has lived in his Route 103 single-story home for a year, said the area was hit by about 3.8 inches of rain in an hour.
I didnt get any water in the basement, just a big mess in the yard, he said.
About six inches of mud filled Kapustas back yard right up to his foundation. His vegetable garden resembled a pond and large rocks and debris littered the entire property. Once the yard dries out, Kapusta said he would use a backhoe to push all the rocks and mud back onto the hillside behind his home.
District transportation administrator Nelson Blanchard indicated the residents of the area were harder hit than the roads.
They made out worse than we did. A couple of those houses have about 8 inches of soup around them, he said.
Blanchard noted state highway crews spent a portion of Wednesday cleaning up two areas a section south of the train trestle along Route 103 near the impacted homes and another site approximately three miles away.
There was a box culvert that couldnt take all the water. It eroded the inlet enough so that we had to close the road down to one lane all night, he said.
He expected all work on the road to be completed by Wednesday in order to open both lanes. Blanchard said drainage systems were incapable of handling nearly 4 inches of rain an hour.
Theres absolutely nothing you can do in that case. Hopefully, well get through today, tonight and part of tomorrow, and then it looks like were going to work our way out of the rain for awhile, he added.MORE IN Local & StateRecovery takes time, patience and a desire to change.

Microsoft plugs 21 security holesJune 13, 2006
The first patch, delivered in security bulletin MS06-025, was one of the dozen released by Microsoft on this month's Patch Tuesday. It repairs two high-risk security flaws in a Windows routing and remote access component that could allow an attacker to commandeer a vulnerable PC.
However, the fix can interfere with certain dial-up networking connections. Problems occur only with dial-up connections that use a terminal window, or dial-up scripting, Microsoft said. This type of connection may stop responding after the patch is applied, it added.
Microsoft had advised people who use those types of connections to not install the security update until it released a revised patch. That revision is now available.
While Microsoft was working on the updated fix, computer code that exploits the flaw in question was released on the Internet. That raises the urgency to patch and prompted Microsoft to issue a security advisory earlier this week. However, the company said it is not aware of any attacks using this exploit.
The MS06-025 update was one of a dozen security bulletins sent out by Microsoft two weeks ago. At least one patch came after the vulnerability it addressed had already been used in a cyberattack. Exploits for some other flaws have also been published, further increasing the urgency to patch.

Troubleshoot CalDAV issues
Apple iCal is stuck "spinning"
If you're trying to add Google Calendar to iCal and the initial sync seems to spin indefinitely (without ever finishing), remove your account and re-add it. Doing this effectively "resets" your Google Calendar connection to iCal.
RSVP status is incorrect in Apple iCal
The default Apple iCal setting for the "my status" drop-down is set to Accept, regardless of your actual response status. Keep in mind that the guest list will reflect your actual response. To change your status, select the appropriate option from the "my status" drop-down menu. To accept the invitation in iCal, you must first select "Tentative" or "Decline," and then select "Accept."
Unable to RSVP to an event in Apple iCal
If you're unable to respond to an event, please consider the following two scenarios:
To accept invitations, you must first select "Tentative" or "Decline," and then select "Accept." Finally, click "Reply" to respond to the invitation.
In order to edit an event you've organized or change your RSVP status, Apple iCal must recognize you as you. It uses your "me card" in Apple's Address Book application to do so.
Follow these instructions to make sure you have the correct email address listed in your Address Book entry:
- Open the Address Book application by going to Finder > Applications > Address Book
- From the Address Bookl menu bar, select Card > Go to My Card (if it's not already highlighted), and click the "Edit" button.
- Add your Google Account email address (the one you use with Google Calendar) to your "me card."
Known CalDAV issues
Email notifications don't sync
Apple's iCal, Mozilla Sunbird, and Google Calendar differ in the types of event reminders offered. While Google Calendar supports pop-up and email notifications, iCal and Sunbird only support pop-up notifications. Accordingly, only pop-up notifications are synced between Google Calendar and these calendar applications.
Unable to create Apple iCal To Dos for Google Calendar
This feature (iCal File > New To do) will either be unavailable for selection or you'll receive an error when selected.
Unable to create new Apple iCal calendars for Google Calendar
When trying to create a new (secondary) Google Calendar in iCal, you'll receive an error message. Even though a calendar may appear, it will disappear after restarting iCal.
Google Apps: Room scheduler is not supported
It's not possible to browse room availability or reserve conference rooms from within Apple iCal or Mozilla Sunbird. This feature is not supported by CalDAV.

WarrenWolverine Between Ap State's 2 QB's last year, they rushed for 395 yards. Let's not try to act like these guys are Armanti Edwards. if I was a player I wouldn't overlook anyone, but I'm not. I'm a fan. So I can overlook anyone I want. From a roster stand pint, we have HUGE talent gap when we face them. From a coaching stand point, I'd like to think we're better. There's only 3 games I'm worried about or concerned about. ND, MSU, and OSU. All the other games we have the talent to beat them. if we lose any of the other 9 games, us fans get pissed. Which is why every michigan message board has a super meltdown.
BlueSteel Riddle me this - the 07 App State team had won back-to-back 1-AA championships, yet the oddsmakers did not offer a betting line because they believed that it would be a total mismatch. The 13 App State team was 4-8, so why have they been installed as a 35 point underdog?
Maize927 Do I think there is a chance we will lose this game, no. But for some reason if it does happen, there needs to be wholesale firings at all levels...Brandon, Hoke, the whole damn lot of them.
WarrenWolverine Failed 2 pt conversion against OSU Multiple missed fg's against PSU (it would've ended the game) Nebraska scores late after huge 4th down pass Freak Gardner fumble ends the comeback vs Iowa. Please tell me how I'm wrong. We were 11 pts away from an 11-1 regular season. You keep trying to spin everything to be a negative.

Thread: Art class, second try?
June 14th, 2008 #1
Art class, second try?
I took a life drawing class at the Art Students' League late last year and wasn't too satisfied with the instruction. However, when I got the 2008-2009 book it said Michael Grimaldi will be teaching a life drawing class there. I am thinking of giving art class another shot and enroll in his class. He is an artist I've gotten into lately and I really like his works I've seen in his official website, such as:
Do you think I should try out the class? I haven't taken that many art classes in my life and haven't had that good of an experience with the few ones I've taken. Also, I wonder if I should study up on the art concepts such as perspective, lighting, and some anatomy before I attempt such a class again. At the previous class I took at the ASL, everyone seemed leagues ahead of me. Another factor to consider is that if I take the class, I wont be able to get a job or do volunteer work (since afterwards I wouldn't have enough time before my Taxation class in the evenings), and I desperately need things to put on my resume.

The best sort of student is an interested and motivated student. If you think you can put aside your less than staisfactory previous experience, you should certainly take every opportunity to improve.
You should examine what is was you found disappointing in your previous art classes first. Being aware of what you didn't like might make it easier to take more out of another class.
Perspective, lighting and anatomy aren't art concepts, they're art fundamentals! Study them --the stronger your understanding of those elements the easier time you will have in any art class.
I don't think anyone can really advise you on the last part; if you want a career as an artist, then art studeies must take precedence, if it's a hobby, then it should fall further down your priority list.

I definitely am motivated, I'm seeing all this great art and it inspires me to want to produce great art too. Especially with a teacher whose art I've seen before and like, I would be extra receptive of the information he will dispense. Ideally, I would want to get a job in the art field but my abilities are not that good at the moment. I particularly lack creativity, which is something I have to work on. My dad's advice was to finish Accounting first and get a job in that, while working on my art on the side. Then, the money earned from that job would finance my artistic endeavors.
June 17th, 2008 #4
eh, are you in grimaldi's class right now?
I'm in his morning class and his instructions are pretty good. (If you're not in it, he does very nice demos [tons of comments] and I think he critiques pretty long once he gets to you [I didn't get any long critiques yet =x])

July 19th, 2008 #6
I might not be able to do it now. My class for next semester will partially be during the time of Grimaldi's class *sigh* I could try again once again from September, if I can get a class that doesn't end up around that same time too. He really inspires me though, I'd love to be in his class and get his critique.

Business transfers are part of succession planning, which involves transferring ownership and control of a business to new management. In a family business, this is often due to the exit, retirement, or death of the owner. The three main options are:
We will focus on new ownership by successful business transfer through a co-operative structure, as evidenced in Europe. A number of elements can stand in the way of a successful business transfer, especially when it comes to SMEs that are owner-managed and operate under a unique business structure.
These obstacles include:
As with many other regulated aspects of business ownership, the type of organisation will also make a difference. The business type affects what steps are required to transfer ownership. For example, a sole proprietor has total control over the business and therefore has full rights to complete a sale.
The rules for partnerships and limited liability corporations will require additional actions that are specific to their situation to complete a transfer. Because these steps tend to be situation-specific, to tackle these obstacles effectively, informed counsel, preparation, and transparency are key. One way to put in place a successful exit strategy is to consider the transfer of a business to its employees through a co-operative structure.
This has the advantage of transferring the business into the hands of those that know the daily workings of the business and can act to save jobs and skills at the same time. In Europe, the most common result of such transfers has been a substantial part of the jobs have been maintained and job creation has re-started. In all studied cases, the maintenance of an industrial or service activity in a community has contributed to the maintenance of the local entrepreneurial fabric, thus keeping in place more jobs than those actually saved in the transferred enterprise.
While a co-operative exit strategy has gained ground since the European economic crisis of 2008, this is not a new way to manage succession. Co-operative plans have been active for many years in industrial enterprises, such as Ceramica Imola in Italy or Chèque Déjeuner in France. Business transfers to employees have since then been repeated in various national environments around the world, and in varied economic sectors.
This experience shows that the rate of success is high, provided a series of conditions are met. In Spain, for example, 75 enterprises were transformed into cooperatives in 2012 according to the Spanish Confederation of Worker Cooperatives. Director of COCETA, Paloma Arroyo praises this as "a model that … generates local wealth and allows employees to decide the direction of their life and the life of their enterprise."
Research shows that France, Italy, and Spain have the largest amount of successful business transfers. Success depends on a number of factors, including an adequate legal framework that protects and promotes worker cooperative enterprises, a high level of organisation and consolidation of worker cooperatives into federations, and policy measures facilitating business transfers to employees.
On the back of this experience, a transfer-friendly regulatory framework is under development in some European countries, yet awareness of the entrepreneurial community and stakeholders (professional associations, legal firms, and consultants to entrepreneurs) is still relatively low, as is the monitoring of business transfer activities in order to support the practical implementation of the new framework.
In a business conference in June this year, The European Confederation of Cooperatives in Industry and Services analysed the co-operative model. The conference offered an opportunity to present co-operative enterprises to employees and discuss the Entrepreneurship 2020 Action Plan. For Secretary General of the Confederation, Bruno Roelants:

Points racers at BMS hoping for rain delay
LOCUST GROVE — We will see if the forecasted rainy weekend holds off long enough for the Batesville Motor Speedway to get in its scheduled points races for tonight.
If they don't, it will be the second washed out weekend in a row. The current leaders are Joe Payne (street stock), Tony Brooks (front-wheel drive), Ronnie Jeffrey (IMCA modified), Heath Grizzle (factory stock) and Jared Landers (crate late model).
Lady Screamin' Eagles rise for 1A 2-East crown
BROCKWELL — As the full moon was rising in the eastern sky, the Hillcrest Lady Screamin' Eagles rose to the top of the Class 1A 2-East District Tournament championship with a 13-5 victory over the hosting Izard County Lady Cougars here Thursday night.
The game was scheduled to begin at 6 p.m., but it started more than a couple hours beyond that and concluded just before 10. That was just in time to see a bright orange full moon creeping above the tree line.
Izard County pitcher Kaydie Campbell had a no-hitter going through four innings, but Hillcrest's bats came alive in the fifth.

The teams battled through four and a half scoreless innings and then Hillcrest ended the drought with a run in the bottom half of the fifth. Two more runs crossed in the sixth as Mammoth Spring's wheels fell off.

Marie-Claire Alain (10 August 1926–26 February 2013)
27 February 2013
The entire organ world is united in mourning the death of
the renowned French organist and teacher, Marie-Claire Alain, at the age of 86.
She was the last surviving child of organist and composer Albert Alain (1880-1971) - her two brothers, Jehan (born in 1911 and tragically killed on active service in 1940), and Olivier (1919-1994), joined her in pursuing careers in music: she studied organ with Marcel Dupré at the Paris Conservatoire, taking four prizes, and harmony with Maurice Duruflé.
Alain became world famous as a result of recording the complete organ works of J S Bach - she did so three times - and throughout her career was a champion, and acutely sensitive performer of, her brother Jehan's music. In a published interview which revealed the development of her artistic thinking and educative approach, she explained why she kept returning to Bach: 'It's because of the instruments, the instruments above everything else, and the fine state to which they have been restored - and the fact that they are now accessible. These recordings use instruments from Bach's time, and we know that Bach even played some of them - it's an extraordinary feeling, to put your hands on the keyboard, knowing that he was there 250 years before you!
'And I studied these instruments very thoroughly before choosing the ones I wanted to record on. Some of the organs I visited were good but still not quite what I wanted, and with others it was a coup de foudre. My style, too, is much purer; and these organs have to be treated with much respect: you can't force them to play too fast.
'We know much more now about performance practice in Bach's day and of other composers of his time: different position of the hands on the keyboard, different fingering, accentuation... Our entire approach has to be rethought in terms of what we have since discovered. I have discussed it with colleagues, obviously, I have listened to harpsichordist friends, violinists, singers. We all share our research. We now know that the way this music was played at the beginning of the century was according to the standards of the Romantic period. We couldn't go on like that; we had to rediscover the criteria of Bach's day. Well, now we have found them.'
Marie-Claire Alain's career was crowned only recently with her promotion to the rank of Grand Officier in the order of the Légion d'Honneur. She received her decoration from Admiral Lacoste, representing the President of the French Republic, on 23 November 2012.
A full obituary will appear in the May/June issue of Choir & Organ.

Westminster Abbey appoints new Sub-Organist
25 February 2013
Daniel Cook, new Sub-Organist at Westminster Abbey
Daniel Cook has been appointed Sub-Organist of Westminster Abbey, to succeed Robert Quinney, who takes up the position of Director of Music at Peterborough Cathedral after Easter.
Mr Cook was Assistant Organist and Organ Scholar at the Abbey between 2002 and 2005, before moving to Salisbury Cathedral as Assistant Director of Music, and then to St Davids Cathedral in 2011 as Organist and Master of the Choristers, where he has also been artistic director of the St Davids Cathedral Festival.
Swedish choral director Eric Ericson dies aged 94
21 February 2013
Eric Ericson 1918-2013
The renowned Swedish choral director and teacher Eric Ericson has died at the age of 94. Originally trained as a church musician at the Royal Academy of Music in Stockholm, Ericson went on to further study at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis and in Germany, the UK and the USA. Founder, in 1945, of the Eric Ericson Chamber Choir, he was principal conductor of the Orphei Drängar choir at Uppsala University from 1951 until 1991, and choirmaster until 1982 of the Swedish Radio Choir which he also founded in 1951. Among his awards was the Nordic Council Music Prize (1995) and Sweden's Polar Music prize (1997). The number of works by Swedish composers premiered by Ericson and introduced to an international audience was huge, as was his collaboration with composers such as Penderecki and Henze; Ligeti's Drei Chorphantasien was dedicated to Ericson and his choir. Ericson was a prolific recording artist.
'It was not he who created choir singing but he refined it. He has been an era in himself,' said friend and colleague Gustav Sjökvist, who took over the Radio Choir from Ericson, and now runs his own chamber choir. Highlighting how difficult it was to try to introduce new ideas, because Ericson himself had most often managed it before him, Mr Sjökvist added, 'He was constantly pushing the boundaries, he was a very inquisitive person. He was also a great humanist, which you become when you are meeting and working with people all the time as he did.'
In a published interview, Ericson explained how his career had started: 'I probably got this fascination for singing in parts, polyphonic composition, more or less with my mother's milk. As is the case with many other choristers in Sweden, I grew up within the Free church. Especially when you are the son of a pastor, ceremonial music becomes a natural part of the family's everyday life. On top of that I happened to have a music teacher at high school in Visby, who had a great dedication to choral singing. His name was Siedberg, and he worked within the Swedish Choir League. He was very talented, and had studied in Berlin as well as in Salzburg. Thanks to him I was propelled into the boys' choir at the cathedral. Already as a boy I found string music a little primitive, it was more fun to sing in parts - allegedly I led a choir of juniors at twelve ...'

Gove U-turn on EBacc
7 February 2013
Education Secretary Michael Gove has abandoned his plans to replace GCSEs with a new English Baccalaureate in 2015.
This major U-turn is a result of opposition to his plans by MPs across the political spectrum, including deputy prime minister Nick Clegg, as well the exams regulator Ofqual. Apart from running the risk of falling short on EU regulations, the EBacc proposals drew strong criticism for encompassing English, maths, science, languages and history or geography while completely ignoring all the arts and other subjects, which would have been perceived as 'second-class'.
Mr Gove nevertheless intends to restructure GCSEs, to reduce the amount of course-work that contribute to the overall grades.

Squeaking In Under The Wire
Whew! Can't believe it, but I've worked my tush off and just about finished everything I needed to do before I leave for Colorado. Darn near killed myself out there working in that ridiculous heat, but I did get a nice tan out of it…
My shade arbor is done, SWCs filled and planted, including the pole bean seeds that are supposed to grow up the poles and shade my tomatoes.
Here's a pic, even though you can't see the baby plants in the SWCs.
The SWC on the front left is a cantaloupe, while the one on the right is a zucchini. Both of them have French Fillet yellow and green pole beans planted around the arbor poles.
The leftover part of the big blue SWC is planted with a sweet potato, while the blue SWC has two Silvery Fir Tree tomatoes. The white SWCs have Heatwave tomatoes, while the two SWCs in the back are watermelon and Kentucky Wonder pole beans. I put a couple gallon pots by the middle legs, on the outside, and put some pole bean seeds in those, too.
Oh yea, I put some more pins into the landscape fabric to hold it down better, too. The area will be mulched eventually, but before I can mulch I need some edging. If I just dump mulch, it'll wander into the lawn instead of staying where it needs to be. Before I can do edging, I'd have to wet the ground, as it is so dry and hard it's impossible to dig. In fact, in order to get the landscape pins into the ground, I had to poke a couple small holes in a gallon milk jug, fill it up, and let it drain. Then I could actually get the pins in the ground.
Ok, on to the tomatoes…one of the Silvery Fir Tree tomatoes actually has a blossom. I'm excited about that, even though I won't be here to see it if it survives and turns into a tomato. Hubby will be happy, though. Here's a pic:
In addition to finishing the arbor, filling the SWCs, planting the babies in the SWC, and sowing pole bean seeds, I transplanted all the pepper plants. Now my garden is almost all full, except for a few places where I would be planting bush bean seeds if I were going to be here to take care of them. Forgot to get a pic of that, but I'll try to do that tomorrow.
I repotted an oregano and a sage plant, too, which I would have done at some point in the next week or so, but had to do it now. Don't think they would have made it if I'd left them be until I get back.
Also had to put the cuttings from my SIL's shrubs into yogurt cups; they rooted nicely in the Parks Biosponge thingy, except I used seed-starting mix instead. The sponge things don't impress me at all.
While I'm thinking about it, remember when I told you I planted lettuce in a window-box under lights? Well, they are doing fine and growing well. I'll post a pic if I have time before I leave.
This is it for now. Still got laundry and other stuff to do, and time keeps ticking away…

NEW YORK: US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Friday unveiled a total of $45 million dollars in new funding for humanitarian aid and to help the civilian opposition in Syria.
Some $30 million will go towards aid, bumping up the total US funding for humanitarian relief to $130 million with a further $15 million for the civilian Syrian opposition, she told a meeting of the Friends of Syria.
"Today I am announcing an additional 30 million dollars to help get food, water, blankets, critical medical services to the people suffering under the relentless assaults," Clinton told the meeting.
"Today I am also announcing an additional $15 million to support Syrian civilian opposition groups, bringing out total support to the unarmed opposition to almost $45 million."
The talks were attended by nine Syrian activists, who have been working with local coordination committees in cities such as Homs, in a bid to help civilians caught up in the 18-month conflict which has left some 30,000 people dead.
Some of them had traveled from within Syria to New York to spell out to leaders of about two dozen countries -- out of the 90 nations which make up the group -- what their needs are.
Washington, however, stuck by its insistence that it will not bow to calls to arm the rebels, fearing it will further complicate the situation on the ground.

Cloud Expo Silicon Valley $500 Savings here!
Big Data has become very popular as what can probably best be described as "loosely structured large scale data," i.e., data sets of relatively small files. For example, log files for analytics purposes. These data sets can become so large that they cannot be stored with traditional technologies (such as relational databases).
The exponential growth in unstructured data sets with movies, pictures and documents has created a similar situation for large files: companies are aggregating data beyond what can be stored with traditional storage systems (e.g., file-based storage systems). Through scale-out object storage systems, companies can build storage cloud infrastructures for large unstructured data sets.
In his session at the 9th International Cloud Expo, Tom Leyden, Director of Business Development and Worldwide Marketing at Amplidata, will also discuss how much information can be found by analyzing those sets of large unstructured data.

The basic integration architecture, as defined by ESBs, hasn't changed for more than a decade. Most cloud integration providers still rely on an ESB architecture and their proprietary connectors. As a result, enterprise integration projects suffer from constraints of availability and reliability of these connectors that are not re-usable across other integration vendors. However, the rapid adoption of APIs and almost ubiquitous availability of APIs amongst most SaaS and Cloud applications are rapidly redefining traditional integration approaches and their reliance on proprietary connectors. ...

Google patched algorithms loophole after abuse
Mar 2nd
Posted by Charles Mombo in Search Engine Optimization

Reacting to a November 28, 2010, New York Times (NYTimes) article titled, "A Bully Finds a Pulpit on the Web," Google's Fellow, Amit Singhal wrote a blog post titled "Being bad to your customers is bad for business".
According to the NYTimes article, an online eyeglass vendor, DecorMyEyes, increased their website's rankings in Google search by being deliberately rude and disrespectful to their customers. The innumerable complaints from DecorMyEyes' customers led to the writing of several articles about DecorMyEyes, which eventually were converted to Internet traffic and improved rankings.
Based on Google's loophole of inadvertently rewarding websites for rude behavior, they came up with a tweak to their algorithms to prevent rewarding bad behavior.
According to Singhal, "We can't say for sure that no one will ever find a loophole in our ranking algorithms in the future. We know that people will keep trying: attempts to game Google's ranking, like the ones mentioned in the article, go on 24 hours a day, every single day. That's why we cannot reveal the details of our solution—the underlying signals, data sources, and how we combined them to improve our rankings—beyond what we've already said. We can say with reasonable confidence that being bad to customers is bad for business on Google. And we will continue to work hard towards a better search."
"We developed an algorithmic solution which detects the merchant from the Times article along with hundreds of other merchants that, in our opinion, provide an extremely poor user experience," Singhal said. "The solution is already live."
"I am here to tell you that being bad is, and hopefully will always be, bad for business in Google's search results," Singhal added.
As recent as February 24, 2011, Singhal and Matt Cutts, Principal Engineer wrote a blog post titled "Finding more high-quality sites in search". In their post, they added, "…in the last day or so we launched a pretty big algorithmic improvement to our ranking—a change that noticeably impacts 11.8% of our queries—and we wanted to let people know what's going on," "This update is designed to reduce rankings for low-quality sites—sites which are low-value add for users, copy content from other websites or sites that are just not very useful. At the same time, it will provide better rankings for high-quality sites—sites with original content and information such as research, in-depth reports, thoughtful analysis and so on."
So, exactly what was the big algorithmic improvement to Google's ranking? Don't hold your breath, because Google has declined to provide details of changes to its algorithms so as not to provide information to search engine optimization consultants or social media marketing consultants who may attempt to game their ranking on the search engine.

to grab the file you want. You can just pick the stuff you need, it's quick and easy :)
To find more works about a subject ("Dragon Ball" for instance), use the search field in the upper-right corner of the page. When I share enough works by a good artist I create redirection pages with links to all his shared works.
A problem to play videos, or questions like "how to download the zips" or "why does it ask a password, you said there isn't one" ? Read the Help & information page :)
Most fundamental rule : if a download fails once, that can happen : try again ! ;-)
You are welcome to share the links to my uploads - I didn't draw the hentai myself anyway - but please, NOT a word-to-word carbon copy.

Awesome list of titles here. I'm surprised to find "My Balls" on the list. This was the first ecchi manga I read and it brings back memories to see it here.
I'm going to read all of these and vote when I'm done. Thanks for the list.
Isutoshi, the master of comedy-hentai, FTW.
I highly enjoyed Yuria and My Balls, but I would consider them ecchi.
They definitely are ecchis, but the contest is for both hentai and ecchi so no worries.
It's sad that you don't have Milk Party! as an option, or that would have gotten one of my votes.
And it's even a manga you have shared!
"H-holy Shit! She turned into a human!"
C'mon, how could you not include that? =p
Oh, true, it says hentai/ecchi. I would have kept those categories separate, since ecchi are usually funny, whereas it's more difficult to find a truly funny, but hot hentai.
@Cerkai: Milk Party is hilarious. The inter-species pregnancy is a bit weird though.
"You may place comedy before erotism, or keep erotism first, it's entirely up to you. The point is to find the favorite works among the mangas that made you laugh a whole lot" -Oliver
Slut girl…..twice…..period
I honestly can't believe that Viva Freedom didn't get more votes.
Slut girl!
My balls is pretty good to.
Discovered your blog by your poll. My brain exploded!
You liked it ? Hated it ? You've got additional information and links ? Or did you see broken links (please report them, I will reupload it) ? Bring more life here, participate, add a comment ;-)
If you report a dead link, please, tell me what is the precise dead hyperlink and the precise error. Never forget to try again !
