Vipiteno Things to Do
Horse Riding
45minutes away from Vipiteno, we have Jenesien, a small town, right above the city of Bolzano.Jenesien is famous for the blonde horses and for riding. We paid about €18 pp for an hour horse riding in the woods. Not to missmore
Hochfeiler - for very skilled hikers
It is not too often possible in the Alps to climb an over 3500 m high peak without any specific glacier equipment (but with perfect mountain equipment anyway, of course). Park the car at the 3rd hairpin turn of the road and follow the signs "Hochfeilerhuette" which is reached from there in 3 hours. It is recommended to stay over night there and to...more
Rent a Bike
For €8, you could rent a bike or mountain bike for half a day. Vipiteno and the surroundings are ideal of a bike ride. When we were there, last June, we hired a bike and rode to Racines. Very easy, just follow the river. Worth the ride :)Unfortunately I don't have the address of the Bike Hire but you will surely find it if you ask around.more
Walk around town
We visited Vipiteno on Easter Sunday and we just walked around. It was magical with all the sweet shops displaying Easter eggs.more
A somewhat longer round
From the parking at the end of the open part of the road a 3 hours hike leads to the Landshuter Europahuette, a lodge through which the Austrian-Italian frontier runs since 1919. I did not test how it feels maybe to sleep head in Austria and feet in Italy or the other way round but anyway from there one can continue, in principle always very close...more
The walk to the Pfitscherjoch
A considerable part of the way from Stein, the last settlement in the Pfitschertal near the end of the bus line connecting the valley with Sterzing can be done by car on a rough narrow and unpaved road. At about 1700 m above sea level the road is closed. From there onwards a partly steep but pleasant walk cuts off the turns of the many kilometers...more

Perfect Alpine and Mediterranean...
You probably would never find it or think to try it if you have no info beforehand. The Schaurhof is perfectly hidden and off the beaten path. When you are driving on the road (not the Autostrada!) from Sterzing to the Brenner Pass you see a few km north of Sterzing (before the first tunnel) a roadsign Ried/Novale pointing to the right. Follow this...more
Food and drink OK
If you feel that you need warm food, a beer from the tap or a Cappucino - the self- service reataurant of the Pfitscherjochhaus has all that and more, a mix of popular Italian and Austrian dishes as Lasagne, Wiener Schnitzel and Apfelstrudel (the latter highly recommendable). All normally priced and the quality is OK.If the weather is pleasant you...more
Vipiteno Transportation
From Innsbruck to Vipiteno and back
Instead of the expensive Brenner Pass (motorway A13 in Austria and A22 in Italy) you can travel from Innsbruck to Vipiteno and back along higway B182 (Steinach - Gries) in Austria and highway 12 in Italy. It's a very relaxed road in a beautiful landscape and you pay no toll.more
Best by car - or bicycle
The area is best reached by car. From Sterzing/Vipiteno follow the signs "Pfitschertal/val Vizze" and follow the road until to the place from where on it is closed. The road leads in principle up to the Pfitscher Joch Tthe Italians built under the Fascist time many quite adventurous miliitary roads towards the Austrian frontier wherever possible -...more

Vipiteno Shopping
Lidl: Cheaper for self catering
To be found as soon as you enter Vipiteno Centre. Ample parking and excellent choice.
What to buy: Since we were staying in a self catering apartment, we used to visit Lidl quite a lot. Excellent prices such as 3 pizza Margerita at approx €2 and 2lt water at approx €0.17 per bottle.
Vipiteno Warnings and Dangers
General advice for all hiking in Alpine...
We had - as you see from the pictures - the best thinkable weather and therfore it was just pleasant and nothing else. But do not forget that you are in a region which only a short period of the year allows to stroll round there a we did. weather changes can be extremely rapid and mean at these altitudes that you find yourself suddenly right in the clouds with a visibility limited to short distances. Therefore never leave the marked paths and trails if there are the slightest doubts in the weather. The temperature drops can be very rapid and drastic, too and temperatures below the freezing point and snowfall are possible at all times of the year. Try always to get detailled weatherforecsts and ask experienced locals (there is always at least one on every lodge). And carry always several layers of dress and good rain protection in your backpack. And a map, preferentially scaled 1: 50.000, there are excellent maps covering every region of the Alps avaiable in bookshops and shops selling outdoor gear in the respective regions.Related to:

Vipiteno What to Pack
Umbrella and raincoat
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: In our 6 days in Vipiteno areas last June, weather varied quite a lot.
We had days of continuas drizzle (wear Jeans, shirt, a light raincoat or keep an umbrella )
and days of sun, where we also wore shorts.
However, we always kept a light jacket handy for high altitudes, where we also were on snow.
Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: A good tracking shoes is very handy.Related to:

US aid cutoff followed by drone strike in Pakistan
PESHAWAR, Pakistan A suspected U.S. drone fired missiles at a house in northwestern Pakistan very close to the Afghan border Monday, killing 12 alleged militants, Pakistani intelligence officials said.
The attack came a day after the Obama administration announced it was suspending $800 million in military aid to Pakistan because of strained ties. Monday's strike indicates the White House has no intention of stopping a program that has increasingly caused tension between the two countries.
Elsewhere in Pakistan's northwest, a suicide bomber blew himself up as he was being searched at a political rally, killing seven people, including a 9-month-old girl, officials said.
The house that was hit in the drone strike was located in Gorvak village in the North Waziristan tribal area, said Pakistani intelligence officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the media. Militants often pass through the village on their way to Afghanistan.
Pakistan's reluctance to target Afghan militants based in North Waziristan who stage cross-border attacks against NATO troops in Afghanistan has been one of the main sources of tension with the U.S.
Pakistan says its troops are stretched too thin by operations in other parts of the country, but many analysts believe the government is hesitant to cross militants with whom it has historical ties and could be useful allies in Afghanistan after foreign forces withdraw.
In response, the Obama administration has dramatically increased drone strikes in North Waziristan over the past couple of years. The U.S. refuses to publicly acknowledge the covert CIA drone program in Pakistan, but officials have said privately that the strikes have killed senior Taliban and al-Qaida officials.
Pakistan is widely believed to have supported the strikes in the past, even though officials often criticize them publicly as a violation of the country's sovereignty. But that support has become less certain in recent months, especially following the covert U.S. raid that killed al-Qaida chief Osama bin Laden on May 2 in a Pakistani garrison town not far from Islamabad.
The raid humiliated the Pakistani military, which was not told about it beforehand. U.S. officials said they kept Pakistan in the dark because they were worried that someone would tip off bin Laden.
The relationship between the two countries has spiraled down since then, and President Barack Obama's chief of staff, William Daley, said Sunday that the U.S. was suspending more than one-third - or $800 million - of its military aid to Pakistan until the two countries can patch up their relationship.
The political rally that was hit by a suicide bomber Monday was organized by Ameer Muqam, a senior member of the Pakistan Muslim League-Q party, but he had not yet arrived when the blast went off.
"Such attacks are deplorable, but they cannot deter us from public service," Muqam said after the blast.
The bomber detonated his explosives as he was being searched at the entrance of the rally, said Ghulam Hussain, the police chief in Batgram district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, where the attack occurred.

Raffi Torres scored at 5:31 of overtime to give the San Jose Sharks a 3-2 victory over the Vancouver Canucks in Game 2 of their playoff series Friday night. The Sharks took a 2-0 lead in the best-of-seven series, which shifts to San Jose for games Sunday and Tuesday. San Jose was 17-2-5 at home this season. Joe Thornton and Patrick Marleau, whose goal in the final minute of the third period forced overtime, also scored for San Jose. The Canucks took their sixth consecutive loss in a home playoff game. Now, they might not get another one after winning their fifth consecutive Northwest Division title. Ryan Kesler scored two third-period goals for Vancouver, helping the Canucks overcome a 1-0 deficit that stood since the first period.

My son is 3 1/2 months, and for the past couple of months has been sleeping less and less during the day. A chart on this website says a 3 month old should sleep about 15 hours a day, but my son will only sleep 11-12 hrs- at most!! He sleeps through the night, anywhere from 6-9 hours a stretch, and will sometimes take a little nap right after (time depending on how long a stretch he slep at night). After that, he will seriously take like 5 min naps every 2 hrs, and when he does take "long" naps he will not sleep for more than 30min. Even when he acts cranky and I rock him and do everything I can to get him to sleep he fights it. I don't drink anything with caffiene, I only drink water and skim milk and don't eat anything with enough caffiene to have any effect. It is so draining, especially since I breastfeed- I don't catch a break. Does anyone else have this problem or have any advice? Oh yeah I also play with him a lot to try to tire him out but I think it just makes me more tired lol
My 3 1/2 month old sleeps thru night, wants to stay awake all day??!!

This is completely unfounded, but my theory is that it's a stage that they must go through at around 3-4 months. Just because I'm going through the same thing with my daughter, and I've seen other moms posting similar things lately. But I could be totally wrong. It just seems like a coincidence that a lot of other moms with babies at the same age are having the same complaint. Hopefully they'll start napping better!

they don't love you like I love you.
I am having the same problem! Help. He goes down and sleeps great at night. I'm trying to do eat, play, sleep but it turns into eat, play, try to put down which doesn't work so we end up eating again. He's so sleepy that he starts to fall asleep while nursing so now I'm basically nursing him to sleep and it's not a good feeding.
@JennGamble - can you describe how you are putting him down? Like step by step so I can have ideas. I feel like my LO is happy one minute and then cranky the next. I've been starting to question the whole eat, play, sleep thing thinking maybe it just won't work for us.

Closing arguments begin in Arias penalty phase
PHOENIX Lawyers for Jodi Arias are making their case to the jury that she should be spared the death penalty for killing her lover five years ago.
Defense lawyer Jennifer Willmott said Tuesday that people are "far better people than their very worst deed."
Arias earlier in the day pleaded with jurors to spare her life and showed them a slideshow of photos from throughout her life.
The prosecutor will make his closing arguments next, followed by jury deliberations to decide whether Arias gets a life sentence or execution.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
Jodi Arias begged jurors Tuesday to give her life in prison, saying she "lacked perspective" when she told a local reporter in an interview that she preferred execution to spending the rest of her days in jail.
Standing confidently but at times her voice breaking, Arias told the same eight men and four women who found her guilty of first-degree murder that she planned to use her time in prison to bring about positive changes, including donating her hair to be made into wigs for cancer victims, helping establish prison recycling programs and designing T-shirts that would raise money for victims of domestic abuse.
She also said she could run book clubs and teach classes to prisoners to "stimulate conversations of a higher nature."
Arias became emotional as she played a slideshow of pictures from her photo album for the jury. The images included family portraits, pictures of her and friends and boyfriends and young relatives she has met only from behind bars.
Arias concluded her statement by pleading that jurors not give her the death penalty for the sake of her family.
"I'm asking you to please, please don't do that to them. I've already hurt them so badly, along with so many other people," she said. "I want everyone's healing to begin, and I want everyone's pain to stop."
Arias admitted killing boyfriend Travis Alexander and said it was the "worst thing" she had ever done. But she stuck to her story that the brutal attack - which included stabbing and slashing Alexander nearly 30 times, shooting him in the head and nearly decapitating him - was her defense against abuse.
"To this day, I can hardly believe I was capable of such violence. But I know that I was," she said. "And for that, I'm going to be sorry for the rest of my life."
Her testimony came a day after her attorneys asked to be removed from the case, saying the five-month trial had become a witch hunt that prompted death threats against a key witness in the penalty phase. They also argued for a mistrial. The judge denied both requests.
Arias acknowledged the pain and suffering she caused Alexander's family, and said she hoped her conviction brought them peace.
"I loved Travis, and I looked up to him," Arias said. "At one point, he was the world to me. This is the worst mistake of my life. It's the worst thing I've ever done."

Ableton Live 8 Essential Training with Rick Schmunk offers a comprehensive overview of Ableton's live audio and MIDI sequencing software and the techniques required to compose, record, and edit music, in real time, on stage, or in the studio. The course includes tutorials on compiling live sets from audio and MIDI clips, loops, or samples, applying MIDI effects, warping audio, and recording and producing songs in any number of contemporary styles. Exercise files are included with the course.
Getting ready to record MIDI is the hard part. Now that we have a routine established to take us through that process, let's make a MIDI recording and learn how to use Live's MIDI Overdub function. So I'm set up to record here, but let's just double check every thing. So I've got a MIDI track here with a MIDI device loaded on it. The track is record-enabled. I'll hit a key, and I should hear sound. (Sounds playing.) Okay. I've got a tempo established at 100.5 BPM. I've got the click, or the metronome, turned on. And if I right-click on that, I can see I do have a one-bar count-off set, so I'm ready to go.
Now when a track in Live Session view is record-enabled, the clip slot's Launch buttons turn into Record buttons, and I'll just tick that out of record enable, so you can see that it go back to a Stop button, and then re-enable it. Okay, so start record, all I need to do is click the Record button. I'll hear a count off, and then I can start playing. (Music playing.) So I recorded the kick and the snare part.
I wants you to notice that when you record in Session view, Live doesn't truncate the clips that we're creating to an exact bar. We actually have to that manually. So I'm going to go down in here to the MIDI Editor, and I'm going to grab the loop end, and I'm going to drag that over to the beginning of bar three. So a two-bar clip should end at bar three, beat one, or a four-bar clip, for example, should end at bar five, beat one. So if I want to add some other parts above that, I can turn on Live's Overdub MIDI switch here. And notice that the clip doesn't have a Record button on it anymore.
But if I go into play, and I hit any keys on the keyboard while that clip is playing, and the track is record-enabled, those notes will get added or merged with the existing MIDI data. If the Overdub button is off, and the track is record-enabled, I'll hear the things that I'm playing, but they won't actually layer, or record, onto that clip, so I'm going to add some HiHat parts. (Music playing.) So I've got a little clip going here. And at this point you'll notice that not everything in my clip actually lines up with the beats.
There's another way to do this same process and actually have Live fix it on the fly. So at this point, I'm going to create another track. Let's go up to Create menu and insert another MIDI track, and I'm going to drag Beat Bugz out here again and drop it on the track. Now that one is record-enabled. Now on this pass, I'm actually going to Overdub mode while I play the part in. And I'll do each part consecutively as it loops. So to do that one of things I'm going to need to do first is I'm going to actually have to insert a clip on that track in which I'm going to record into, because I can't actually go into Overdub mode until there's actually something to overdub into.
So I'm going to choose the clip slot that I want to record into. I'll right-click on that and choose Insert MIDI Clip. And before I go into record here, I'm going to turn on Record Quantization. Now quantization for MIDI is rhythm error correction. We're actually going to go in-depth on this in a later video. So I'm going to go down here, I'm going to choose Sixteenth-Note Quantization, leave the track in record, and for right now I'm going to stop that other clip from playing, so that we don't hear that. And I'm going to set the loop length here, before I get started as well.
So right now, it's only a one bar long. Let's actually drag this out, and let's make this a two-bar loop. And again, that should end at bar three, beat one. So we can see the whole thing. I'll size that. Okay, click the Play button, I should hear a count off, and I'll start playing. (Music playing.) So we can see that I've recorded my drum part for this, and it's all looking like as perfectly lined up and ready to go.
So we've finally reached the point where you're ready to use Live to record some clips and begin putting together your own songs. Have some fun.

COLUMBIA CITY — A white house sits on the corner of Jefferson Street and Main Street in Columbia City, but to a passing motorist, it appears to be just another house.
What is inside is a resource for Whitley County families and children.
When its doors opened in 2001, The Beds & Britches, Etc., (B.A.B.E.) program existed as a coupon incentive program for pregnant women and families to try to deter the high incidence of low-birth weight babies that were being born in Whitley County.
According to Shawn Ellis, who is in charge of the oganization, B.A.B.E has grown to be much more.
Abigail Marie Little, 4 year old princess of Anthony Charles and Ashley Marie (Green) Little, died Friday afternoon, July 27, 2012, as a result of injuries sustained in a multi-vehicle accident at Kroemer Rd. and U.S. 30, Fort Wayne.
"Our Little Sunshine" was born July 28, 2007, in Fort Wayne.
Mona M. Case, 78, died at 1:25 p.m. Saturday, July 28, 2012, at her home. She had been in failing health for the past two years.
She was born May 24, 1934, in Ithaca, N.Y., a daughter of the late Lawrence S. and Kathleen (Molowa) Powers.
Her formative years were spent in Cortland and Ithaca where she graduated High School. She went on to Cornell University where she received a Bachelor of Arts degree in History and Government.
Following her graduation, she took a job with the Immigration Service in New York, N.Y. Returning to Ithaca, she became a middle school teacher.
Jack H. Kessie, 88, of Columbia City, died at 1:20 a.m. Saturday, July 28, 2012, at Parkview Whitley Hospital where he was admitted on Tuesday, July 24.
He was born Dec. 17, 1923, in Whitley County, a son of William H. and Wilda Mae (Grable) Kessie. A lifelong resident of Whitley County, he completed his education at Columbia City High School.
On June 23, 1946, he was united in marriage to Beulah Mae Holycross. Mrs. Kessie died Aug. 27, 2008.
A truck driver, he retired from STAFCO in March 1993, with 39 years of service.
COLUMBIA CITY – Motorcyclist Robert Ramey, age 50, from Columbia City, was critically injured Saturday at 5:20 p.m. in a single-vehicle accident south of Columbia City.
According to Whitley County Deputy Sheriff Tony Helfrich, Ramey was southbound on Ind. 205, just north of Washington Road, when he entered a curve, lost control and was ejected from the motorcycle. Ramey was flown by Samaritan helicopter to a Fort Wayne hospital. He was in critical condition with a head injury.
COLUMBIA CITY - A 15-year-old boy drowned in Troy-Cedar Lake, north of Larwill, early Saturday evening.
According to witnesses, the boy, who was from Fort Wayne, went under when he was playing catch in the water with his friends. The friends said he was not a good swimmer.
The boy reportedly went under water and didn't surface.
Indiana Department of Natural Resources conservation officers, Whitley County Sheriff's deputies and Richland Township Firemen assisted the Thorncreek Township Fire Department's Dive Team in a search that lasted over an hour.
Michael Walter Smith, 66, died on July 23, 2012, at home. He was born in Van Wert, Ohio, later moving to Columbia City. He served two years in U.S. Army.
He worked for Indiana Michigan Power as a draftsman for over 30 years. Later he worked for the City of Columbia City until his retirement.
Surviving relatives include his wife of 44 years, Wanda Smith of Columbia City; two children, Kurt Smith of Fort Wayne and Kami (Nicholas) Hamilton of Fort Wayne; one sister, Connie (Richard) Steinbacher of Fort Wayne and three grandchildren, Jaylen, Andrew and Brooklin.
COLUMBIA CITY — With little less than a month to prepare, what was known as Stepping Stones Day Care has closed, moved and will re-open Monday at 6 a.m. as a child care program under the Whitley County YMCA.
Stepping Stones Director Debbie Gates will continue with the YMCA's program. According to Gates, parents who had utilized the day care that was once housed with First Church of God in Columbia City, were concerned over the idea of not having a childcare program in Columbia City.
COLUMBIA CITY — Although continuous rain has provided favorable weather conditions for late July, the end to the drought is far from over.
"The only way we are going to see an end to the drought would be if we have a continuation of the rain on a regular basis," said David Addison, Purdue Extension Educator, 4-H Youth Development. "The rain we have seen has brought the grass back, but it's still low."
Whitley County is currently in an extreme drought, and Southern Indiana is in an exceptional drought, with an average of 15 inches of rain below normal.
SAN DIEGO — At 70 years old, Columbia City native, Jody McKinney, graduated from Alliant International University on May 25, receiving a doctorate in educational leadership and management.
She had already earned a masters in administration from San Diego State in 2008 as well as a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education from Indiana University in 1964.
A member of the class of 1960 from Columbia City Joint High School, she has become a life long learner.
Even with all her degrees and accomplishments, McKinney's education goals are not over.

CLEAR LAKE, Iowa (AP) - Volunteers seeking to build a veterans memorial along the Sea Wall bordering Clear Lake say they've gathered more than 1,000 signatures.
The Mason City Globe Gazette reports the group will present the petition for the Sea Wall location to the city council.
The city's parks and recreation board has opposed the Sea Wall location. The members voted 5-1 earlier this month against the spot, saying it was too busy. They want the city council to form a task force to select a spot for the proposed memorial.
The memorial would include three, five-foot high tribute walls. The names of war veterans from Clear Lake and Ventura would be inscribed on the panels.

Description of the Application Compatibility Tool
Article ID: 251062 - View products that this article applies to.
This article was previously published under Q251062
On This Page
The Application Compatibility tool (Apcompat.exe) is a tool that attempts to convince programs that perform compliance checking in Windows 2000 that they are actually running under an earlier operating system.
Apcompat.exe passes a different version number back to a program when the program queries for the current operating system version. This tool may be helpful for general programs, but may not work with programs that are operating system-specific.
Typical error messages that you may receive may include:
This program requires Windows 95 to run.
Apcompat.exe does not help with the following issues:
This application requires Windows NT Service Pack 3 or higher.
The Apcompat.exe tool is located in the Support folder on the Windows 2000 CD-ROM. Note that the Help button does not work unless you install the Windows 2000 Support Tools. Full documentation is available by installing the Windows 2000 Support Tools located on the Windows 2000 CD-ROM in the Support\Tools folder. For additional information about how to use this technology with Windows 2000 Service Pack 2, click the article number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/279792/EN-US/ )How to Enable Application Compatibility-Mode Technology in Windows 2000 Service Pack 2
Support Tools DocumentationThe following information about Apcompat.exe is copied from the Support Tools documentation:
Application Compatibility Program (Apcompat.exe)This program is designed to overcome the most common causes of application incompatibility with Windows 2000. You can use this tool with a Windows interface by running the Application Compatibility program, or you can run this program as a command-line tool.
To use the Application Compatibility program,
Operating System Version CheckingWhile installing or running, some programs check which operating system version you are running. If the program is designed to run on only certain operating systems, and Windows 2000 is not one of them, you are prevented from installing or running the program.
If you encounter such a problem, try installing or running the program from the Application Compatibility program. Under Operating system, specify the operating system on which you previously ran the program.
When the program checks the version of the operating system, the operating system you specified is returned. If the program installs successfully, verify that the program also runs successfully.
If the original error occurs again, the program is incompatible and cannot be run on Windows 2000. Contact the maker or vendor of the program and inquire about an upgrade version.
Memory Management ConflictsSome programs use memory in ways that can conflict with Windows 2000 improved memory management. If errors occur while running a program on Windows 2000 that did not occur on your previous operating system, try disabling the Heap Manager for the portion of memory reserved for the program.
Select the Disable Heap Manager on Windows 2000 check box. A program running with the Heap Manager disabled can avoid conflicts with Windows 2000 memory management, but also uses memory less efficiently.
Temp Folder Path IncompatibilitySome programs allocate a limited number of characters to store the path and name of the Temp folder. If the number of characters used to identify the Temp folder on Windows 2000 is greater than the length allowed by a program, select the Use the pre-Windows 2000 temp path check box to specify a non-Windows 2000 Temp folder.
The specified program then uses \Temp for the Temp folder. If this folder does not exist, it is created.
Correct Disk Space DetectionSome applications use a different data type than Windows 2000 to store the amount of free disk space available on your computer. This can result in an application determining that there is not enough disk space to run or perform an operation.
To resolve such a discrepancy in disk space detection, select the Correct disk space detection for 2-GB+ drives check box.
Store Application Compatibility SettingsIf you resolve a compatibility problem by using any of the options in Application Compatibility, you can make these settings permanent. Then you can run the specified application without using the Application Compatibility program.
To save the Application Compatibility settings for the specified application, select Make the above check box settings permanent. This saves the settings in the registry.

Photograph - Kodak Australasia Pty Ltd, Two Men in a Flooded Doorway, Abbotsford, Victoria, 1934 Reg. No: MM 96596
- Summary:
- Black and white silver gelatin photograph of the Yarra River in flood at the Kodak Australasia factory in Abbotsford, Victoria, 1934.
The photograph features two men walking through a doorway of a flooded factory building in thigh high flood water. The Yarra River was prone to flooding, and despite major works designed to manage water flow in the 1920s, the river still experienced a major flood in November 1934. Such floods caused damage to the Kodak factory and potentially washed away into the river some of the materials and chemicals that were used in the manufacturing process.
Kodak manufactured and distributed a wide range of photographic products to Australasia, such as film, paper, chemicals, cameras and miscellaneous equipment. Its client base included amateur and professional photographers, as well as specialist medical and graphic art professionals who used photography, x-ray and other imaging techniques.
This photograph is part of the Kodak collection of products, promotional materials, photographs and working life artefacts collected from Kodak Australasia in 2005, when the Melbourne manufacturing plant at Coburg closed down.
- Description:
- Black and white silver gelatin photograph, printed on light weight paper, portrait format with a white border.
- Description Of Content:
- View taken from a high vantage point of two men walking through a doorway during a flood. The water in the doorway and inside the building is thigh high. The roof of a building is at right, while at left are the brick walls of the building they are exiting from. At left in the foreground is the round wall of a brick chimney. One man wears a white singlet and long pants while the other just wears long pants.

We're expecting our first child in January and I am keen on CD'ing. I have already made several wool covers in size newborn and small (and will be making more), so I was wondering if anyone here has any experience with only using wool as covers (as opposed to PUL covers). Also, someone from my DDC suggested using fitteds with wool, because she said that prefolds don't catch the poop as well. Wouldn't a properly pinned prefold catch poop as well as a fitted? Thanks for your help!!
9 out of 10 times, we use wool over PUL. We do have a couple of PUL covers but use them as back up [if say I'm washing the woolies]. We definitely prefer wool.
We .
subbing! Really interested in prefolds with wool myself. :-D
Superhero and mother to Peanut (03/20/09) and Twig (01/20/2012). Fighting for the rights of mothers out there who and much more!
I do snap prefold goodmamas and wool covers on my twins but use Grovias with PUL at night. We also use fleece covers if all the wool is air drying (that takes a few days!) I prefer snaps because baby poop is so runny so the elastic sides are a must to keep it all in!
Wife to DH Momma to twin girls cloth diapering, no vaxing, family bed, organic living, eating and wearing family!
I did almost exclusively wool over fitteds with DS until about a year. I did have 1 PUL cover in each size, just for those cute outfits I couldn't put over wool.
The thing with pfs and wool is that you have to be good with that snappi in order to avoid leaks. And if this is your first time using pfs, it takes some practice. You also have to find the right fold, which can change depending on the shape/size of your babe, which size pf you're using, how much/often they're peeing/pooping, and what you're trying to fit it under. I tried PFs at first with DS, and quickly gave up because every poop necessitated at least spot cleaning the wool, which can take days to dry. But keep in mind that fitteds are no guarantee either. If they don't fit correctly (snug around the leg), you'll still get leaks. It took lots of trial and error to find fitteds that fit DS's scrawny chicken legs correctly. The other problem you can run into is if you don't get the snappi tight enough, often-times the crotch arm will unhook and snag your wool - and that's just a pain all around.
I did actually buy pfs for this next baby's infant stage, because I'm good with a snappi now, and I know the tricks to prevent leaks (I will still have fitteds because DH won't use PFs). But I'm also not planning on doing exclusively wool this time (I do still have the wool from DS though).

St. Paul, Minnesota — August 12, 2008 — Impeach for Peace (IfP), along with others looking to demonstrate at the Republican National Convention (RNC), filed a lawsuit Friday with the help of the ACLU of Minnesota in Ramsey County District Court demanding our right to free speech. Plaintiffs include: Jodin Morey and Mikael Rudolph of Impeach for Peace, Colleen and Ross Rowley, and Ron Deharporte.
Impeach for Peace is a grassroots, nonpartisan organization based in Minnesota with chapters in twelve states throughout the country working to achieve the impeachment of President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney and holding them and future elected officials fully accountable under the Rule of Law.
The RNC is having their election year convention in St. Paul, Minnesota at the Xcel Energy Center. During this event, the St. Paul Police have decided to relegate most speech activities in what they call the 'Primary Event Area' to an inadequate 'Designated Public Assembly Area' or free speech zone. The 'Primary Event Area' remains to be fully defined by the police, making it impossible for people to know where in St. Paul they can exercise their rights to freedom of expression and assembly. At the convention, members of congress, mayors, governors, the President and Vice-President of the United States are expected to be in attendance. This provides IfP and other potential demonstrators with a unique opportunity to express their political messages to these governmental officials.
The lawsuit alleges that the St. Paul City Council and police have created guidelines for the RNC which restrict free speech to areas that are "inadequate and unacceptably small."
The ACLU also alleges that the City Council/Police denied IfP their due process rights as stipulated in the Minnesota State Constitution by failing to give notice of their plans regarding free speech restrictions, which would have allowed for public comment and a public hearing.…Continue reading

Protesters march in Civic Center Park this afternoon, contending the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks were a U.S. government conspiracy.

Protesters march in Civic Center Park this afternoon, contending the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks were a U.S. government conspiracy.
CIVIC CENTER — Chanting "9/11 was an inside job!" protesters congregated here before hitting the parade route this afternoon, cameras in hand to document everything that happened and supply their live feed to those watching online.
Organized by We Are Change, the march brought calls of "9/11 truth now!" and signs calling for an investigation of the Sept. 11 attacks.
We Are Change has been filming protests this week in an effort to catch illegal action — whether by protesters or cops.
Luke Rudkowski, founder of We Are Change in New York, told the crowd it can't rely on the mainstream media.
"We are the new media. We are the people. We are the change!" he shouted.
Besides protesters carrying banners and signs, there was a bus in support of Buddy Moore for U.S. Senate for Colorado and a trailer with a chain-link "cage" on it. Labeled "God's Gitmo," it had protesters wearing rubber masks of George W. Bush, John McCain, Barack Obama and others inside.
People stopped to watch the group proceed by.
"Rabble-rousers rousing a whole lot of rabble is what it is," said James Baum of Ohio as he sat on his bike… Continue reading

In THE NEW PEARL HARBOR REVISITED , David Ray Griffin provides a brilliant and much-needed companion to his path-breaking and movement-building book on 9/11, The New Pearl Harbor (NPH; 2004). Now, on the occasion of the seventh anniversary of those horrific events, Griffin surveys in detail all the main lines of evidence against the official account of 9/11 to have emerged during the last four years. THE NEW PEARL HARBOR REVISITED (NPHR) has been designed as volume 2 of a two-volume set with NPH as volume 1; together they provide a thorough and up-to-date case against the official conspiracy theory (they can be bought separately, of course).
Griffin has already published four other books that provide in-depth analysis of most of the evidence to have emerged since 2004. NPHR's main purpose is to provide an easily accessible survey of all of the new evidence, so that it is now possible for a beginner to the subject (including journalists and members of Congress) to master its enormous complexity simply by reading two books. NPHR is structured identically to NPH; each chapter in NPHR comments and builds on the corresponding chapter in NPH. Much of the content is entirely new; there are many facts and analyses in NPHR which Griffin presents for the first time, and which literally make the book an up-to-the-minute statement of the case.
In the Preface, Griffin explains why he undertook to "update" The New Pearl Harbor . In the Introduction he… Continue reading
Join the Phone Blockade – A Simple Call to Impeach Print E-mail
Buddy, can you spare 5 minutes a day?
If you believe the country is going in the wrong direction and are frustrated by the refusal of the legislative branch, our Congress, to exercise their sworn duty to support and defend the Constitution, then you must have wondered what can you really do about it? What difference can one person make?
There are many of us; the frustrated majority. We want to know what it is going to take to turn things around. What can we do to get Congress to abandon their business as usual attitude and put impeachment on the table now? How can we send them a clear message? They need to quit trying to run out the clock. There is still plenty of time for them to impeach the President and Vice President! There is no legitimate basis for their failure to take action. The House impeached Bill Clinton on December 19, 1998 and the Senate trial lasted from January 7 through February 12, 1999. Not having sufficient time remaining is not the issue. They do not have the will to do it.
We believe that each one of us, acting together, can make an enormous difference, especially if we take one specific, coordinated action. Best of all, it is easy. It doesn't cost anything and it is legal. In fact, it is our civic duty. Call a member of the House Judiciary Committee… Continue reading

At 7:30 a.m. this morning, they climbed a nine-foot fence to occupy a 35-foot-high
ledge at the National Archives.
And five members of the Veterans for Peace organization have been there ever
since. They say they're veterans of Vietnam and Iraq, anti-war activists, and
soldiers for a cause who plan to fast for 24 hours in protest of the Bush administration.
Seeking the criminal prosecution of George W. Bush and Dick Cheney, the organization
distributed "Citizens' Arrest Warrants" to tourists waiting in line
to enter the archives, which houses the key documents of U.S. history: the Declaration
of Independence, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
In a press release, the group described the reasons for its protest:
Bush and Cheney's serial abuse of the law of the land clearly marks
them as domestic enemies of the Constitution. They have illegally invaded
and occupied Iraq, deliberately destroyed civilian infrastructure, authorized
torture, and unlawfully detained prisoners. These actions clearly mark them
as war criminals. Accountability extends beyond impeachment to prosecution
for war crimes even after their terms of office expire….
We are not conducting ourselves in a disorderly manner; our action is well-ordered
and well-considered. We are not trespassing; we have come to the home of our
Constitution to honor our oath to defend it.
So far, authorities have not interfered with the peaceful protest or the sign.
Yes, there's a sign. A 22-foot-by-x8-foot banner draped across the Constitution
Avenue side of the archives says, "DEFEND… Continue reading
Of course, this is that same Posse Comitatus Act that the Department of
Father Homeland Security now calls a "myth." In an October 2000 article, "The Myth of Posse Comitatus," Major Craig T. Trebilcock, U.S. Army Reserve, states:
"Through a gradual erosion of the act's prohibitions over the past 20 years, posse comitatus today is more of a procedural formality than an actual impediment to the use of U.S. military forces in homeland defense."
I say my country "was" dedicated … we were dedicated to prohibiting military occupation within America until 2006, when the John Warner Defense Authorization Act ( HR5122 ) was signed into law (specifically, see Section 1076, titled "Use of the Armed Forces in major public emergencies" pretty much threw out the Posse Comitatus Act altogether.
But in January 2008, it appears posse comitatus was somewhat restored through an amendment to H.R. 4986 : National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008:
Section 1068 – Revises federal provisions concerning the use of the Armed Forces in major public emergencies to discontinue the executive authority to deploy active and reserve personnel during domestic response incidents. Repeals the authority of the President to direct the Secretary to provide supplies, services, and equipment to persons affected by major public emergencies.
Naturally, the President issued a signing statement when he signed the bill, indicating he will "construe such provisions in a manner consistent with the constitutional authority of the President." Of course, this means he'll interpret and carry out this Act… Continue reading

WASHINGTON — A federal judge on Tuesday ordered the Bush administration to release 17 detainees at Guantánamo Bay by the end of the week, the first such ruling in nearly seven years of legal disputes over the administration's detention policies.
The judge, Ricardo M. Urbina of Federal District Court, ordered that the 17 men be brought to his courtroom on Friday from the prison at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, where they have been held since 2002. He indicated that he would release the men, members of the restive Uighur Muslim minority in western China, into the care of supporters in the United States, initially in the Washington area.
"I think the moment has arrived for the court to shine the light of constitutionality on the reasons for detention," Judge Urbina said.
Saying the men had never fought the United States and were not a security threat, he tersely rejected Bush administration claims that he lacked the power to order the men set free in the United States and government requests that he stay his order to permit an immediate appeal.
The ruling was a sharp setback for the administration, which has waged a long legal battle to defend its policies of detention at the naval base at Guantánamo Bay, arguing a broad executive power in waging war. Federal courts up to the Supreme Court have waded through detention questions and in several major cases the courts have rejected administration contentions.
The government recently conceded that… Continue reading
U.S. Officers' "Phone Sex" Intercepted; Senate Demanding Answers By Brian Ross, Vic Walter and Anna Schecter
Despite pledges by President George W. Bush and American intelligence officials to the contrary, hundreds of US citizens overseas have been eavesdropped on as they called friends and family back home, according to two former military intercept operators who worked at the giant National Security Agency (NSA) center in Fort Gordon, Georgia.
The chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Jay Rockefeller (D-WV), called the allegations "extremely disturbing" and said the committee has begun its own examination.
"We have requested all relevant information from the Bush Administration," Rockefeller said Thursday. "The Committee will take whatever action is necessary."
"These were just really everyday, average, ordinary Americans who happened to be in the Middle East, in our area of intercept and happened to be making these phone calls on satellite phones," said Adrienne Kinne, a 31-year old US Army Reserves Arab linguist assigned to a special military program at the NSA's Back Hall at Fort Gordon from November 2001 to 2003.
Kinne described the contents of the calls as "personal, private things with Americans who are not in any way, shape or form associated with anything to do with terrorism."
WATCH Kinne discuss why it was 'awkward' listening to her fellow Americans.
She said US military officers, American journalists and American aid workers were routinely intercepted and "collected on" as they called their offices or homes in the United States.

The 9-11 attacks were the pretext which sold the myth of evil Muslim terrorists imminently threatening Americans. That tale allowed the Cheney-led members of the Project for the New American Century (PNAC) to implement their 1990 DPG plan for world control. The "war on terror" has nothing to do with protecting the U.S. and world's people from "terrorists", and everything to do with securing the American empire abroad and muzzling democracy and human rights at home. Designed to inspire popular support for U.S. wars of world conquest, it is modeled on Islamophobic stereotypes, policies, and political structures developed by the Israeli Likkud and Bush Sr. since 1979. To defeat this plan, we must overcome our Islamophobic fear of "terrorists" and stand in solidarity with Muslims.

From Donna Marsh O'Connor
First let me say, after years of skepticism re the Democratic Party, I am a Progressive Democrat and so my comments reflect that. Someday perhaps someone more powerful than I will be able to dismantle the two party system, and make more genuine choice possible in this country. Right now, there are two parties. For eight years George W. Bush and Dick Cheney impostered as Republicans. I have said before and will say again, they would not have fit into my party and of this I am proud. They led a band of rogues that brought this country to the brink of absolute despotism. Let the Republicans worry about that mess. I remember telling my students long ago, I didn't vote for Bill Clinton for what he would do, I voted for Bill Clinton for what he said, for the values he espoused, for the way his insistence on social justice resonated. After his election, his actions were, indeed, another matter.
The good news: Barack Obama seems to be a decent man, tough enough to steer this nation in the left direction, confident enough to know he will succeed, smart enough to know that the powerful right still has the means to inflict great pain and re-enter greater and stronger. His election has elated many, particularly me, for a whole host of reasons, but for our purposes the following two:
The reign of Bush/Cheney/Rove (given a peaceful transition) is over.
Though I don't believe that this… Continue reading

Representative Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) took one of the first steps in holding the Bush Administration accountable when he introduced House Resolution 1531 on Thursday.
The official title of HR 1531, which was introduced to the House Judiciary Committee, is "Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the President of the United States should not issue pardons to senior members of his administration during the final 90 days of his term of office."
The resolution notes, "President George W. Bush may have committed crimes involving the mistreatment of detainees, the extraordinary rendition of individuals to countries known to engage in torture, illegal surveillance of United States citizens, unlawful leaks of classified information, obstruction of justice, political interference with the conduct of the Justice Department, and other illegal acts," and that, "Bush has been urged to grant preemptive pardons to senior administration officials who might face criminal prosecution for actions taken in the course of their official duties."
Rep. Nadler is the current chairman of the House Judiciary Committee's Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights, and Civil Liberties . According to an email sent out by Democrats.com, Nadler's leadership on this issue is crucial because he "can use his credibility and clout to move the resolution forward either during the lame duck session in December or when the next Congress convenes on January 6."
Democrats.com has also urged the public to persuade their representatives to co-sponsor H.R. 1531. You can contact your representative on your… Continue reading

Barack Obama is on record as advocating a military escalation in Afghanistan.
Before sinking any deeper into that quagmire, we might do well to learn something
about recent Afghan history and the role played by the United States.
Less than a month after the 11 September 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center
and the Pentagon, US leaders began an all-out aerial assault upon Afghanistan,
the country purportedly harboring Osama bin Laden and his al Qaeda terrorist
organization. More than twenty years earlier, in 1980, the United States intervened
to stop a Soviet "invasion" of that country. Even some leading progressive
writers, who normally take a more critical view of US policy abroad, treated
the US intervention against the Soviet-supported government as "a good
thing." The actual story is not such a good thing.
Some Real History
Since feudal times the landholding system in Afghanistan had remained unchanged,
with more than 75 percent of the land owned by big landlords who comprised only
3 percent of the rural population. In the mid-1960s, democratic revolutionary
elements coalesced to form the People's Democratic Party (PDP). In 1973,
the king was deposed, but the government that replaced him proved to be autocratic,
corrupt, and unpopular. It in turn was forced out in 1978 after a massive demonstration
in front of the presidential palace, and after the army intervened on the side
of the demonstrators.
The military officers who took charge invited the… Continue reading

An Amendment –
The president shall not have the right to grant pardons or clemency.
Michael Collins
"Scoop" Independent News
(Wash. DC) The prospect of the criminal in chief, George W. Bush, issuing pardons to his co-conspirators is repugnant to all citizens who've paid any degree of attention over the last eight years.
He neglected his duty prior to 911 resulting in a devastating attack on the nation.
He started an illegal war based on lies that caused injury and death to tens of thousands of U.S. soldiers and the deaths of over 1.2 million Iraqi civilians.
He ordered the illegal wire tapping of citizens, a clear violation of law.
He stopped scientific research causing the suffering unto death of those with illness and injury that could have been healed during his term.
The list goes on. Bush ruled like a tyrant with the wisdom of an adolescent sociopath.
Right now this man who should have been impeached and subsequently jailed for his crimes is planning last minute pardons and acts of clemency for his friends, co-conspirators, and others who meet his deviant criteria for release from legal obligations.
Highly motivated citizens and legislators are seeking legal precedents and rationales to stop Bush from pardoning his collaborators.
Hopefully, their efforts, one of which is impeachment, will meet with success. Allowing those who attacked the people to walk away free after the death, destruction and ruin they've caused will… Continue reading

Village Voice
Since I live in the Village, my Congressman is Jerrold Nadler, a civil libertarian for all seasons. Unlike many of his Democratic colleagues, he has never been in fear of being targeted as "soft on terrorism" for opposing the Bush-Cheney war on the Bill of Rights. Nadler certainly does not underestimate the jihadists: The 9/11 attacks exploded in his district.
In The Almanac of American Politics, Michael Barone describes Nadler's reaction to that day of terror: Securing "$20 billion for the cleanup and eventual rebuilding, he spearheaded numerous actions on behalf of affected families . . ." but "Nadler remained true to his civil libertarian views. He vigorously opposed the USA Patriot Act and the Iraq War Resolution." And since 2007, he has chaired the Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights, and Civil Liberties.
In that subcommittee, and on the floor of the House, he fought Bush (and some Democrats) in order to give "enemy combatants" their habeas corpus rights. (The Supreme Court has agreed.) And, unlike many Democrats, he has worked to narrow the very definition of "enemy combatant," which is especially important. Under the Military Commissions Act of 2006, voted for by too many Democrats, anyone held as a captured "detainee" in a military prison can be charged with giving "material support" to the enemy and can be locked up indefinitely. American citizens have also been held on this charge–which could include giving money to a charity they weren't aware… Continue reading

An Iraqi journalist threw two shoes at President Bush during a news conference Sunday with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. The president was not hurt in the incident.
Muntadar al-Zaidi Did What We Journalists Should Have Done Long Ago
Mon, 12/15/2008 David Lindorff ThisCan'tBeHappening.net
When Iraqi journalist Muntadar al-Zaidi heaved his two shoes at the head of President George W. Bush during a press conference in Baghdad, he did something that the White House press corps should have done years ago.
Al-Zaidi listened to Bush blather that the half-decade of war he had initiated with the illegal invasion of Iraq had been "necessary for US security, Iraqi stability (sic) and world peace" and something just snapped. The television correspondent, who had been kidnapped and held for a while last year by Shiite militants, pulled off a shoe and threw it at Bush–a serious insult in Iraqi culture–and shouted "This is a farewell kiss, you dog!" When the first shoe missed its target, he grabbed a second shoe and heaved it too, causing the president to duck a second time as al-Zaidi shouted, "This is from the widows, the orphans, and those who were killed in Iraq!"
I'll admit, listening to Bush lie his way through eight years of press conferences, while pre-selected reporters played along and pretended to get his attention so they could ask questions which had been submitted and vetted in advance, I have felt like throwing my shoes at the television set.…Continue reading
FAMILY OF SECRETS: The Bush Dynasty, the Powerful Forces That Put It in the White House, and What Their Influence Means for America
By award-winning investigative journalist Russ Baker

Revelatory new book on Bush family
publishing January 2009
How did Bush happen? How did George W. Bush, of all people, rise to the most powerful position in the world? This simple question sparked a five-year investigative odyssey by Russ Baker. What he found will force us to rethink virtually everything we thought we knew about the Bush family and its role in shaping recent American history.
In FAMILY OF SECRETS, Baker reveals that Bush, the people around him, and his policies are but an extreme, very public manifestation of what his family and its circle have always been about: an interlocking web of covert and overt machinations on behalf of a small cluster of elites-social, financial, industrial, military, intelligence-that enabled the Bush dynasty and propelled George W. Bush to the top.
Russ Baker's deep background profile of the Bushes reveals a family with ongoing connections to the shadow world of intelligence, utilizing the dark arts of the trade to achieve their positions at the pinnacle of America's political elite. Baker lays bare the stealth substructure that created the Bush dynasty, powered its rise, and brought America to its current state of crisis. Given the disastrous results of the last… Continue reading
I'm posting Michael Heart's new video with a special dedication today, just from this mother in Kansas, for all the mothers (and others) in Gaza …
Why? Because yesterday "our" Senate unanimously affirmed, by cowardly "voice vote" (meaning there is no written record and we can't know who represented humanity vs. who represented Israel), "Recognizing the right of Israel to defend itself against attacks from Gaza and reaffirming the United States' strong support for Israel in its battle with Hamas, and supporting the Israeli-Palestinian peace process."
Reuters reports, in "US Senate supports Israel's Gaza incursion": "The Senate resolution encourages President George W. Bush 'to work actively to support a durable, enforceable and sustainable ceasefire in Gaza as soon as possible that prevents Hamas from retaining or rebuilding the capability to launch rockets or mortars against Israel,' Reid said. (emphasis added) The article goes on to report the current death toll (without mentioning numbers of injured, or the overwhelming number of women and children) as 700 Palestinians : 11 Israelis (4 by friendly fire).
Therefore, this Special Dedication From Janice goes out to all you Senators (especially "AIPAC bill" S.Res.10 sponsors Harry Reid and Mitch McConnell, and you 31 cosponsors); to H.Res.34 sponsor Nancy Pelosi (and your 11 cosponsors); to Bush & Cheney who have perpetuated this for eight long years and truly re-defined "war crime"; to Obama, who believes that blowing up children cowering in a UN school warrants no response beyond vague support for this crime against humanity; and perhaps especially to Condoleeza Rice, who has the gaul to shamefully "represent" US to the world as not wanting to stop the MASSACRE until she's convinced it will ensure a "lasting peace" — even while thousands of children and other innocent citizens of Gaza starve, bleed, and die … This one's for you.…Continue reading

In what order do you do your beauty routine? Hair before makeup? Makeup before hair? Eyeshadow before foundation? Walk us through your routine!
I do hair after make-up, unless I'm doing a lot of blow-drying, then I do 75% before makeup, then just do a little bit at the end. I prefer to do eyeshadow, then foundation, then blush, then setting powder, and finally lips.

Traci Wickham walks into the hospital. She is not pushing a walker. She is not being pushed in a wheelchair.
No, the 43-year-old from Columbus, Neb., walks into the Creighton University Medical Center, which is a measure of how far she has come.
You might have passed her as she strode from the revolving door down the hallway to visit her specialist. You might have seen her bright green T-shirt or her blingy belt buckle. You might have noticed the small brace on her left knee or the wooden cane carved with the names of her four children.
But would you have thought this woman with the sunny disposition was nearly killed months ago in a car accident?
Not me.

This is a show that would be vastly improved if Backstrom was abruptly murdered in the next episode. They can even spend the rest of the season trying to track down his killer. Then they'll go out to have a drink and reminisce about what an asshole he was.
Burgess is awful and should have died. I'm not too fond of Roman from past episodes, but I thought he acquitted himself well this episode, and he definitely acts more like a good cop than Burfess does. That bomb made no sense. It should've been placed in the car, where it could have killed Ruzek (who needs killing) instead of banking on cops being both at the car and the apartment simultaneously. Lindsay's observation that somebody was watching them did not come out of nowhere, since possessing a reasonably competent sense of observation she indeed noticed that there was somebody suspicious watching them, the cops, and not the bombed out apartment.
Seriously? "They killed the lesbian, how daring!" is a thing said by absolutely nobody. Considering how lopsided the cast is "daring" would be killing off a couple white men.

I have an unusual situation. I updated my Akismet plugin when the update was first released-- 2.1.7. At the same time, my web host had some DNS problems and my blog went "screwy" (as reported by some readers). Also at the same time, a reader of my blog was submitting a comment, and when they tried to publish it, they got a blank screen. That is all they see since they tried to access my site since last week.
The DNS problem was resolved after a few hours. I then re-updated Akismet (due to the bug in 2.1.7) to 2.1.8. However, the reader of the site who tried to comment says she cannot access my blog. She has tried deleting her cache, pinging her connection, trying different browsers and different computers. All she gets is a blank screen.
I cannot figure out why this is occurring. I have for the time being disabled Aksimet. Does anyone have ANY suggestions for me? I'm completely baffled.
