In life there are many fears, but I've come to believe that whatever brings on fear...I have to face it, and not run away from it. I believe I am never alone so I rely on God who gives me strength when I am so weak.

Fear not the fierce wind, o gentle heart
Though it may rattle the eaves
And give no ear to its whispers with nothing to impart
But shallow promises that hang, like dried, parched leaves
Listen to its mournful wails on the way to some distant shore
Leaving in its trail, the harsh rawness of a chill
And envy not; give pity instead and be sure to keep no scores
For the warmth of a gentle heart is by far, richer still
For who can fathom the baleful howls invading valleys below;
Billowing across the fragile earth and her boundless seas?
Is it in anguish that it protests; who can really know?
Or is it a mere expression of a mighty power that seethes?
Yet, judge not, o gentle heart, but like a blade of grass amidst a storm
Lay calmly into the wind; rely not upon your strength to stay strong

The machines were not tested by the Supreme Court because the machines that were previously confiscated never got a fair chance in court. The task force destroyed them before they had the chance. You can not claim that they are illegal because they did not pass the 6 point test, when they were never tested.
Ronnie and Milton closed their doors for a very good reason. Machines that had been confiscated were destroyed before ever seeing the Supreme Court therefore they were protecting their assets. Riley said many of times that he THINKS the machines are illegal, for the fact that they were never tested so he could not know for sure.
Bentley criticized Riley for this, and will now give the machines a fair chance, the fair chance the people have been asking for all along.
He said he is personally opposed to gambling all along. That has nothing to do with following the law.
The title of this article is quite misleading. Gambling is dead as far as Bedford drafting up a new bill, not is certainly not dead in the state of Alabama. There are still 3 Indian casinos open today and in January more facilities may reopen.
Bentley said any operation that wants to reopen will need to submit its machines to inspections by law enforcement who will determine whether the machines are permissible under the constitutional amendments passed for that particular jurisdiction.
Going by what the Alabama Supreme Court had ruled not long ago, if Strange plans to approach this situation in that way, then Bentley will take over his responsibility in terms of enofrcing these laws. Strange can say what ever he wants, but if Bentley doesn't agree with it, which from what you stated and the 2nd to last paragraph of this article are very conflicting, Bentley's words are what matters. Don't argue with me if you don't agree... argue with the Supreme Court.
Bentley wants to inspect the machines to the 6 point test and to their constitutional amendments. If Strange does not wish to comply and do the same, then he can sit on the side lines and watch. The ASC said so.
Bentley stated how he feels the AG should handle it. By inspecting the machines and verifying that they are in compliance with the amendments of that county. So if you are expecting the AG to handle it like Riley did, then Bentley will have to assume the responsibility of both AG and govenror because he will not be handling the situation as Bentley sees fit.
I heard she is staying now because of Bentley's stance. That she thinks Riley acted very unprofessionally and unlawfully.
What does any of the above have to do with electronic bingo that has already been voted in by constitutional amendment...
dog: They have to operate within our state laws. That is why they do not have full blown casinos like in Florida and other places.
James Nolan: The letter you wrote makes you sound like a complete idiot. If you are pleading that they are a needy people and should be allowed their electronic bingo based on morals, then in that sense GreeneTrack should be allowed to reopen as well. Slaves were brought here against their will and treated poorly by the white man, so I guess we should let the Indians and Black casino's reopen, right?
All of this is irrelevant. Bentley is assuming control of this in a few months, and he will soon PROPERLY and LEGALLY have the machines assessed and determine their legality. Not just a smash and grab like the task force has done.
I completely agree that it states his position. He wants to do just like Bentley, and enforce the law. Any back door card game or bingo machine or slot machine in the back of a gas station needs to be shut down. Illegally shutting down and confiscating machines that have not been proven illegal needs to end. Legal electronic bingo machines should be allowed to operate where constitutional ammendments permit. People who used the telegraph never thought the idea of a cell phone was possible. People who traveled across seas in wooden ships in the 1600's never thought you could make that jounrney in less than 24 hours on an airplane. People started playing paper bingo and did not forsee class II electronic bingo machines, but they are here. They have specific parameters to operate within and soon will be tested and we will have an undisputable answer on the issue.
If Strange plans to attack the situation similarly to the way Riley did (not sure if thats what you were implying in your post), then per the Supreme Court, Bentley will assume all responsibilities for enforcing the law the way he sees legal and responsible on behalf of the state.
Like I said, I did not vote for Bentley, but if he really goes about this the way he claims, then he will have gained much respect from me. I don't know why he waited until after he was elected to announce this, but better late than never. It is kind of funny, Bentley wants to handle the situation the same way King did. He wants to inspect the machines in a non threatening way and make a decision to either approve or disapprove their reopening based on passing the 6 point test and their consitutional amendments. Like Steven Johnson posted, some machines have already been inspected by the local DA and passed already, so it would be odd if they suddenly did not pass. The law is the law, I just want to see it enforced fairly, which I think everyone does. The anti bingo bots try to push morals and ethics on this issue and say they need to be closed, it is not about morals or ethics, it is about legallity. Glad to see Bentley stood up to Riley and told him he was acting inappropriate in the way he was handling the matter with forceful, unfair, and unlawful tactics.
While I did vote for Sparks, I did not see this coming and am very surprised. If he does this honestly, which I truley hope he does, then I will have to support him. All I can do now is put my faith in him, that he will do the right thing. Starting with his ethics reform and dealing with this statewide electronic bingo issue. That is the biggest issue we have had to date, it seems like everyone is going different ways. Riley and Tyson have just claiming that the machines are illegal in the way they operate and then never test them. Anti bingo bots are claiming that they are illegal throughout the state, reguardless of ammendments (if that were the case, the amendments would have never been voted on), and many other conspiracy theories. The bottom line is that if Bentley really approaches this issue the way he claims he will, to allow facilities to reopen AFTER they have passed an inspection, without threatening to raid and take all the machines since the facilities are not open, then again, this is very respectable and the right way to handle the situation.
The issue with Riley was that he would TAKE the machines and destroy them before they were ever tested. But soon Riley will become a thing of the past, Tyson most certainly will, and the machines will be fairly tested without the prejudice of Riley's and Tyson's task force, and we will once and for all see if they pass the 6 point test and what modifications need to be made if they do not.
To the anti bingo bots who cry the state voted against a lottery and gambling, you are wrong and I assume are just trying to antagonize? This state, along with every other state, voted Republican because they are sick and tired of Obama and wanted to take a stand. They did not vote against gambling, as there are several places with amendments where the people voted for it and enjoy it.
To the anti bingo bots who cry that it is only legal on the Indian land, you are just wrong. Even your savior and czar and king anti bingo bot riley has said they need to operate within state laws. For those of you pushing your idocy that it brings prositution, drugs, etc. If there were prositutes before, they will stay. There were certainly drugs before, they will stay. About poor people losing their money, if they are that incapable of managing their money, then they will lose it another way if one of the closed electronic bingo facilities are closed. By means of cigarettes, alcohal, drugs, prositution, tax free Indian casino in state, or getting on one of the Mississippi Indian casino shuttle buses. Those problems are world wide, not Alabama non Indian electronic bingo specific. Lastly, to those who think it is immoral or evil because of church, you should know that you should never force your ways onto someone else. You can spread the word, but not force other people to behave as you see fit.
There is a difference. Some random fools said Sparks was racist and took some money and ran off like cowards. If they were truly offended and hurt, they should have stuck it out and fought.
Bentley made a comment, that was openly and blatantly racist a few days ago.
Do you see my dispute between the two?
I don't care, write in Davis. Don't look at the big picture and think Sparks is a horrible candidate. Think who ever you want is racist. Just don't defend Bentley and say that his comments were not what they were. Don't say you (not you, I mean the other bots) are voting for Bentley because we need change and need a republican when we have had a republican governor for some time now.
^ write in Davis bot.
Though I'm sure you are playing stupid like you don't know, since even I know, he is a wealthy individual who has an immense hatred for anything that is Gilley and electronic bingo and stands to profit from the down fall of both. On another blog, someone admitted to working for him and recently leaving his office. They even told us where the "blog office" was, over at a strip mall.
I've commented time and time again. Anyone who knows anything, especially in places like law enforcement and other GOVERNMENT entities, they encourage to settle because it is MUCH cheaper to settle than to take to court. Shame he didn't have a dash cam, or else he could have proven he innocence quite easily like many law enforcement officers who are filed against. Go see statistically how much racial and drastic force and physical force cases drop when agencies install dash cams and microphones. Everyone wants to make a quick buck.
Racism isn't dead. Bentley proved it.
You seem to be very passionate about the fact that he has been caught telling lie after lie. Quite amazing that someone can break the law and the Republican Troy King (AG) would simply ask him to give back his illegal money. Kind of makes me worry about what would happen if he made it to Governor. He can break the law for his rich special interest buddies and just give the illegal money back or undo the illegal activity if he gets caught. He has already showed us his disregard for the system and immunity he feels he has.
So you are saying you don't want another Czar? You don't approve of a Governor giving no bid contracts to his buddies for kick backs? I guess I can kind of see why the Strange/Bentley combo reeks of utter failure.
How in the world do you plan to eliminate all that from schools when people can barely afford their taxes and rent. Wouldn't it make more sense to tax and regulate gambling and a lottery so those who can afford it will voluntarily fund these things?
For the idiots who claim it taxes people with no money, then wake up and those people will otherwise spend their money on cigarettes, crack, alcohol, or a tax free or out of state gambling facility, so your argument is just ignorant. For those who claim it is immoral or evil or non church like, then don't go and stop passing judgment. Nobody is forcing you to live that lifestyle if you don't like it.
Isn't it a shame people who are ill informed will be voting this election? Supporting someone like Bentley just because of the R next to his name hoping he will bring change, not realizing we have had that R as governor for quite some time now and it has changed us for the worse.
Again, Republican bots, John Downs bots, anti bingo bots everywhere. The only logical explanation of who the heck would still support Bentley after being caught telling lies to his constituents, breaking the law, admitting to use his name "Doctor" to mislead and persuade the public, and making what I found and many other found to be outraging and or racist comments about the black belt in a recent debate. So why would you support a guy with no public plan? Because you are part of a special interest group he plans to serve Alabama to on a silver platter once he wins?

The Commerce Ministry marked its 94th anniversary Wednesday with civil servants taking a public "zero corruption" pledge.
Led by military-appointed permanent secretary Chutima Bunyapraphasara, the bureaucrats vowed to clear corruption from their workplace and guard against new incidents as demanded by the National Council for Peace and Order.
The Commerce Ministry historically has been a lightning rod for corruption allegations, most recently during the rice-pledging scheme conceived by Yingluck Shinawatra's government.
Ms Chutima said corruption would not be tolerated at the ministry's offices in Bangkok, provinces or overseas.
"If there is an offer, we will not take it. All director-generals are instructed to implement the policy," she said. "If there is any issue about corruption, the public can report to me directly and I will take a strong effort to ensure transparency."
The ministry recruited its workers via Facebook to join the "zero corruption" pledge, as well as point out any practices or working processes vulnerable to corruption.

Humans have an obsession with wealth–how to amass it, the toys they can buy with it, and that warm, safe feeling of being swaddled in it.
For the nearly 10% of working Americans who are unemployed (and the many thousands more who may be hanging onto jobs by their fingernails), having a pile of money sounds like a high-class problem they'd be thrilled to have. But here's the deeper truth: Getting rich is a result, not a reason–and the reasons really do matter, if happiness and fulfillment are your ultimate goals.
Warren Buffett once said this about wealth building: "Enjoy the process more than the proceeds." How right he was. After working as a clinician and coach for super-successful people for the last 30 years, I have seen the damage wrought by the single-minded pursuit of money. Wealth in itself is not harmful; it's the why and how you go after it that can leave you frustrated at best and emotionally bankrupt at worst.
With that, here are ten horrible reasons, in and of themselves, to get rich:
1. It's a way to keep score.
Donald Trump, a man who compulsively asserts how smart or beloved he is in every conversation, repeatedly tells people, "Money was never a big motivation for me, except as a way to keep score. The real excitement is playing the game." For once, The Donald is dead-on. Those who amass a fortune exclusively to best (or belittle) competitors inevitably find their endeavors dissatisfying. Making money for the sake of it isn't much different than, as the saying goes, shooting fish in a barrel. You get what you're after, but when you do you feel, "Is that it?"
2. It will enhance my sense of self-worth.
Not only can't money buy happiness, it doesn't do all that much for your self-esteem. That's because self-esteem (with all apologies to Oprah and the rest) derives in large part from how others react to us–and that reaction tends to change with the size of your wallet. It's a pernicious little paradox: If people learn that you are wealthy before they know you or work with you, they often are incapable of praising you lest the favorable feedback seem like syrupy ingratiation.
Take a former client of mine, whom I'll call Charlie. Charlie wanted to make his mark as a freelance gag writer; he also had a large trust fund and everyone knew it. To guard against being seduced by disingenuous feedback, Charlie would only take negative criticism to heart. Surprise: That steady diet of negativity made Charlie miserable over time. Charlie was accentuating the negative for obvious reasons, but he never learned to take pride in himself or in his work–even when his jokes were truly funny.
3. It's liberating.
Think money will set you free? Make enough of it and you'll have to deal with what shrinks call "correspondence bias"–the tendency of people to form complex yet uninformed impressions based on a single attribute, i.e. your wealth. That sounds like it's their problem, when in fact it becomes your problem. Example: One of my clients, beloved for his cut-up personality, unhappily adopted a more demure version of himself after his company went public. "Now that I have money I cannot do [this or that]," he kept saying. "It wouldn't be fitting." Irony alert.

Thread: Of Course My Tank Would Break
Hybrid View
Of Course My Tank Would Break
Well I came home from school at 2:30 to find my 10 gallon gourami tank had sprung a leak in the bottom and it had leaked a good 2.5 gallons of water onto the stand. Luckily it soaked into the towel under the tank and did not drip on the floor. I quickly unplugged everything, took out the fish, drained the tank and kept the filter in a tub of the tank water. I then proceeded to try and clean and use my spare 10 gallon. In all the rush I asked my younger brother to help me. While he was cleaning out the old 10 gallon, he managed to crack an entire side of the tank.
With this dilemma I set up my 20 gallon on the floor. I was going to simply try and set it up and use my eheim filter in sync with the old filter from the 10 gallon. For some reason the eheim did not want to start -_- So after more thinking I filled the 20 gallon up with 10 gallons of water, added the old filter from the 10 gallon, added 5 gallons of old tank water and 5 gallons of new water and let it run. I added the fish soon after and from what I can see they're doing alright.. I took the 5 Olive Nerites from my old gourami tank and moved them to my 10 gallon apisto tank.
Along with all this crazyness my apistos still do not seem to want to eat pellet food, which is all I have that they can fit in their mouths.. They seem to eat a bit but not much.... Hopefully my brine shrimp eggs arrive soon so I can start hatching some food for them.
Only positive news I have is that despite him not eating my male apisto is showing some really nice blue colors.
Good fast thinking. I hope you resolve it quickly. Let us know as the story unfolds.
On the appisto's not eating. How about crushing the pellet between ur fingers? I do that for smlaler fish that dont like a big chunk.FW: 1 45gal, 1 40gal, 3 10gal, 3 30gal all community tanks of different species
Sw: 1 55gal, 1 30gal show, 1 29gal show, 1 20gal and 2 10's
Oh no, that's what I'm doing for them. They just don't see it as food. They'll only go after it if it happens to float by their face and they think its living.. I should have my brine shrimp eggs by this weekend and have them hatched.. Hopefully they can mull over until then.. I'll feed them live food until its all gone and slowly add pellet food with the live and hopefully they'll start taking it.
Thanks for the kind words.. I never thought I'd have to deal with a leaking tank. Oh well.
Hmm, sounds like a real issue. Make sure if you are hatching brine shrimp you feed the fish the shrimp in baby form. They have that yolk sac at that time thus are more nutritious.
Stay in the hobby long enough, glass breaks, leaks, all of it will come around sometime.FW: 1 45gal, 1 40gal, 3 10gal, 3 30gal all community tanks of different species
Sw: 1 55gal, 1 30gal show, 1 29gal show, 1 20gal and 2 10's
Yeah.. At least its not as bad as when someone laid a towel on the tank and the towel soaked up water coming into the HOB which then in turn leaking 8 gallons of water all over my carpet -_-
I'll be sure to feed them the baby shrimp, I have to anyways. Considering how small my apistos' mouths are XD
So they wont take freeze dried blood worms or anything huh? That is so weird.. I never have had issues getting appistos to eat. Could be just the stress from Dave shipping them to you. They will come around im sure. Garlic may help them see it as food.FW: 1 45gal, 1 40gal, 3 10gal, 3 30gal all community tanks of different species
Sw: 1 55gal, 1 30gal show, 1 29gal show, 1 20gal and 2 10's

The collapse of the state and the disappearance of security forces from a large part of the territory may turn the Central African Republic (CAR) into a source of instability in the heart of Africa.
"This is a test for the peace and security architecture in the region. CAR's partners should draw lessons from it in order to identify problems and improve crisis prevention and management in the future"
Comfort Ero, Crisis Group's Africa Program Director
In its latest report, Central African Republic: Priorities of the Transition, the International Crisis Group, examines the situation in CAR following a coup by the Seleka rebel coalition in March 2013 that ended François Bozizé's decade-old rule and plunged the nation into crisis. The absence of the state, Seleka's fragility and tensions between Christians and Muslims make the transition's future uncertain.
The report's major findings and recommendations are:
"This new crisis is a result of decades of poor governance and economic decline in Central Africa", says Thibaud Lesueur, Crisis Group's Central Africa Analyst. "For too long, security in CAR has been outsourced and social services have been provided in a large part by non-state actors, including foreigners".
"This is a test for the peace and security architecture in the region", says Comfort Ero, Crisis Group's Africa Program Director. "The African Union, Economic Community of Central African States, UN and European Union should draw lessons from it in order to identify problems and improve crisis prevention and management in the future".

New Jersey's attorney general sued an iPhone app maker Wednesday, alleging that the company's educational games collected personal information from children and then sent it to a data analytics company.
The state alleges the company, California-based 24x7digital LLC, encouraged kids who used games such as "TeachMe: 2nd Grade" to give their full names and other information when creating profiles. The app then sent names and a unique phone ID number to another company, according to the suit.
Under a federal law called the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, tech companies are supposed to get parents' consent before collecting information on kids under 13.
The company did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The suit is the latest sign of concerns about children's privacy on mobile phones. Last year, a different company paid $50,000 to settle Federal Trade Commission charges that it was collecting personal information from kids in apps. In February, the FTC said that only 16% of the children's apps it studied had a privacy policy that could be accessed before downloading the app.

Jakarta Globe
Indonesia still imports 96.23 percent of its sedans because of limited local production, the chairman of the Association of Indonesian Automotive Industries (Gaikindo), Sudirman Maman Rusdi, said on Wednesday.
"Completely knocked down (CKD) sedan imports or those of completely built up (CBU) are reaching 96.23 percent of the total number of sedans sold, as local production only covers 3.77 percent," Sudirman said.
He was quoted by the Antara news agency as saying the inharmonious tax structure was hindering higher local assembly production and therefore pushing imports up.
Several sole agents from foreign automotive brands have already begun to assemble sedans locally, such as Hyundai Indonesia and Mercedes Benz Indonesia. Hyundai imports its Avega sedan in CKD form and assembles the cars here and Mercedes is also doing the same thing for several of its sedans.
Gaikindo data showed first quarter sales of sedans stood at 4,130 units and if taxis were added, the figure would be at 5,939 units.
The high level of imports is also causing the local component industry to suffer. Imports reduce the need of sedan producers to use locally manufactured equipment.
Sudirman said the tariff structure needed to be reviewed in order to encourage domestic sedan production. He said Gaikindo was hoping that a regulation would be issued this year to do away with tariffs for incompletely knocked down components.
However, he also added that the dropping of tariffs will not be enough to encourage a more competitive domestic automotive industry because the luxury tax on sedans remained high.
"Sedans with engines of up to 1,500 cc are still being slapped with a 30 percent luxury good tax, while those with engines of 1,501 -3,000 cc get 40 percent and above 3,000 cc 70 percent. Without an adjustment on the luxury goods tax it will be difficult for sedan prices to meet a good economic scale," Sudirman said according to Antara.
Meanwhile, Jonfis Fandy, the marketing and after sales service director of Honda Prospect Motor (HPM) said three Honda sedans sold in Indonesia — City, Civic and Accord — were still imported in their CBU form from Thailand. The low market for sedans in the country, compared to other car types, made the company rely more on imports, he said.
"But if demand rises to a high level, Honda will not preclude the possibility of studying the production of sedans in Indonesia," he said.
He said the extensive flooding in Thailand last year made HPM miss the sale goal of sedans in the January-April period of this year.
"But with the return of conduciveness in factories in Thailand, this May, we will be able to sell Honda City and later in June Honda Civic and Honda Accord in July," Jonfis said during a New Honda City launch here on Wednesday.
Jonfis said the company targeted a 40 percent market share for mini sedans in Indonesia. The share of HPM's two mini sedans — City and Accord — was at 28 percent last year.
At the launch, Honda announced a sales target of 2,400 units in 2012 for the new Honda City, a car that uses the Euro-4 standard and will be sold at around Rp 262 million to Rp 286 million ($28,200 to $30,800) on the road for Jakarta.

Cannon. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Sean Cannon
Stay alert to the melodies surrounding:
The banging on the walls,
so distant, so loud.
the noise resonates hatred
and tells of battles once fought,
once lost.
the scraping of rough feet,
on the smooth, dirty tile.
the noise resonates sorrow,
and tells of times once tried,
once failed.
The opening
and closing
of doors.
The noise resonates dashed hope,
and tells of dreams once dreamed,
once ruined.
The shaking of the house.
those who think they are larger
try to knock down the house.
All they do is shake it,
though do they ever give up?
The noise resonates All things,
and tells of everything once created,
once destroyed.
eliminate the senses,
as the sound envelops the body that's
neglecting the invasion.
But the heart was never strong enough
to eliminate the rebels,
that secede the senses.
Each note touches the heart,
sending like a storm
visions throughout the heart
filling each inch with sorrow,
letting the ensemble reverberate
through the veins,
touching first the hands
losing insensitivity as they start to shake.
Moving to the feet,
falling through the ground as they begin to quake.
And forcing through the blockade
into the mind
shutting down thought
no future, only past
as these thoughts,
with such grace,
envelop each neuron,
slipping to the mind
like a fox
visions of tears
from past moons.
Present tears begin to form
stealing security;
peace of mind.
Don't run,
Don't hide,
from the teachings
of survival
in experience past.

On Our Radar: Today's Feminist News Roundup
Happy Friday! Here's what's on our radar this morning...
• Colorlines weighs in on Chris Brown's revelation earlier this week that he lost his virginity at age 8, noting that Brown's inability to identify this as a case of sexual assault is a product of rape culture. [Colorlines]
• The Feminist Press and New York's New School are cosponsoring a conference of bullying, sexuality, and rape called StopSlut. If you live in NYC or will be there next weekend, register now! [StopSlut]
• We're heard that women can't be soldiers, scientists, political leaders. Now, some bigwigs in the world of classical music are arguing that women also can't be conductors. You know, those people with the batons on a podium. Come ON, world. [NPR]
• Vogue mainstay André Leon Talley—aka He Who Wears a Caftan Like No Other—has a characteristically simple statment on addressing the fashion industry's insidious racism. [The Cut]
• If you're looking for a sign that the world isn't terrible, well, sorry, this definitely isn't it. Joe Bell, who was walking across the United States to honor his son—who killed himself as a result of antigay bullying at the age of 15—was struck and killed by a truck driver in Colorado. [LaGrande Observer]
• Welp, there's a very uncomfortable dinner in ESPN contributor Rick Reilly's future: Reilly willfully misquoted his own father-in-law, Blackfeet elder Bob Burns, twisting his words so it sounded like Burns believes that the ongoing battle over the Washington Redskins' name is "so silly." [Indian Country Today.]

The Water Supply and Sanitation Collaborative Council (WSSCC) hosted their first High-Level meeting on International Women's Day to share current directions in global research, policy and practice on Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM).
The event took place 8 March 2013 at the United Nations Palais in Geneva, Switzerland.
See our CELEBRATING WOMANHOOD: MENSTRUAL HYGIENE MANAGEMENT report HERE
Menstrual Hygiene remains a taboo subject, biologically centre stage but neglected in adolescent girls and women's health, education and quality of life. Even traditionally infrastructure focused sectors such as water and sanitation, used to dealing with unmentionables such as excreta and shit, ignore the gender dimensions of managing safe and hygienic disposal of menstrual blood, materials used to absorb it and the safe spaces to do so.
For more information, contact Emily Deschaine at email@example.com. For more about Menstrual Hygiene Management, visit WSSCC's topic page here. For more about International Women's Day 2013, visit here.

I'm confused. I thought the defeat of Issue 2 would safeguard against layoffs?
A friend I know said his friend is going through the dealer hiring process and he said the pay is $4 an hour plus tips. They have to rely mostly on tips.
CJSherrill411 I think we're better off not to work at such a place if they put a high value on brown nosing and back end kissers. So much for getting a job on merit and I'll bet you any money (I don't game and sure won't at horseshoe) this outfit will promote the better brown noser and not the best qualified employee.
I guess they have it all figured out on how to bypass any legalities of this type of promotions when someone challenges it.
Another thing that should be questioned is the unprofessional misconduct of the news media that reported on this incident. Notice how biased the reporting was and how it set the stage for Prosecutor Mason?
The media play a crucial role in keeping the public informed about the courts and the other two branches of government. Have they done this?
Did the news media report how the court selected and assigned jurors to the case? The jurors must be impartial and free of any bias. And that also means not to be swayed by Mason's hypnotizing talks.
Did the court appoint a media coordinator?
Media coordinators shall be appointed by the court from a list of nominees provided by representatives of the media. The judge and all interested members of the media shall work, whenever possible, with and through the appropriate media coordinator regarding all arrangements for media coverage.
This is all part of the corrupt system.
There are a couple of places to report the misconduct of judges and prosecutors:
And by the way, will these public workers be affected by the upcoming Issue 2? Now they want us to vote no so they can keep all of their job security? It's high time these public workers take their fair share of cutbacks like the rest of us. I will Vote Yes on Issue 2.
The corrupt system of prosecutors and judges is wide-spread across the country. It's all about them making as much money as possible.
Currently I am following a case in Missouri. The prosecutor prosecuted based on a an out-of-state telephone call made by a vindictive person that was mad at someone. There is no evidence and the trial date keeps getting pushed into the future. It's been going for over a year. The accused person's life has been completely destroyed.
I sure hope Mr. Kozlosky is freed soon and also can sue and win.
I guess I'm confused here. "Public Square" is not always open to walk on, therefore if you do you can get arrested?
So if I am a shopper walking out of a store when Occupy Cleveland people were being arrested, I would get arrested too if I took a shortcut and walked through Public Square?
I don't go to the games but I hope all of you fans don't let the Browns dictate anything to you by just plain and simple don't go to the games. They didn't give a crap about the fans when Modell went to Baltimore.
So have some balls and boycott everything Cleveland Browns, including a VERY EMPTY stadium. All that loss of revenue should send a message to them.
And as for the roughneck cops, they won't be needed there if the stadium is empty, huh? Have some balls and send the message. Quit going to the games.
I guess I can see now why Cleveland Police would not hire me. My integrity, high standards and morals disqualified me.
Why is Sherrod Brown showing his face at this event? He is just some nutcase politician that only shows up when he thinks it will advance his career.
If you want someone to speak with authority on a green energy economy and has envisioned this for years before Brown ever thought of it, then Capri Cafaro should be a speaker at this event.
Capri Cafaro has studied, embraced, and campaigned for a green energy economy years ago while Brown was still a congressman in Lorain, Ohio, doing only God knows what it was he did.
Say yes to Capri Cafaro for a green energy Ohio.
I'm really surprised that someone local or within the park system was not found for this position. Surely there is someone older, wiser, and with more experience that lives in the area for this position.
Has anyone researched just who exactly owns and runs Apollo?
They seem to have sticky hands in many shady deals.
Who are these people?
How many otehr good companies have they destroyed besides Linen and Things?
Oh yeah and how about if drunk drivers have a special tag for their license plates so we'll know to stay clear of them when we drive.
OH c'mon educator1171, you really think the officer may not have seen the passenger?
With all of the "Homeland Security" and terrorist threats we are brainwashed to be paranoid about, the police are trained to see all occupants in a vehicle. They are also trained to see any hand movement as if an occupant is reaching for a weapon.
Bill Mason? What a joke. I am confident now that he has poor judgement on the job, just like off the job. And these people wonder why they lose respect from us? Hah.
I'm sure glad I don't drink at all, speed, or not use my seatbelt. These clowns will have one heck of a lawsuit if they stop and try to peg something on me.
But yes Mason can't effectively perform his job because to me he has lost all credibility.
And how can drunk driving be a mistake? We all KNOW not to drink and drive, expecially inebriaed over the legal limit. To these offenders, it only becomes a mistake if they get caught.
So this mentality I'm sure is rampant through most departments and most ranks. Way to go guys, you've tarnished the system as black as coal.
You know that "Wheel of Justice" that WOIO-TV has for criminals? I say they make one for the drunk drivers and drunk driver co-horts. Put these two guys on it.
Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe Ms. Capri Cafaro has advocated green energy jobs for years here in Ohio. I remember when she ran for congress to fill Sherrod Browns spot. She pushed for green energy jobs in the area of vegetable based ethanol production since Ohio has a vast amount of farm land. Contrary to belief, it was Ms. Cafaro for green energy jobs, not Sherrod Brown.
Mr. Schoenberger, you should talk to Ms. Cafaro. She truly cares about the people and wants them to get back to work.
So we have three "hot industries" that was supposed to take us out of unemployment and depression, with the next "latest and greatest" being green technology.
In the article:
The third from the last paragraph states:
"Politicians have a horrible track record at picking the next hot sector," Partridge said. Hot industries have gone from computer manufacturing to information technology to biotechnology to green energy in the past decade. In each case, the sector's growth failed to live up to long-term growth expectations."
I'd like to see how many people have benefited from this. Who would like to "chime in" with their personal success story?
This is another example of what I talked about in another post in another forum.
"We The People" can not just go on and on and on retraining over and over. Where does it end? When do "We The People" finally get to go back to work?
Doesn't anyone else here see what is really going on and who is controlling this repetitive pattern? Please people, try to stop it so you can get back to work!
Mr. Robert Schoemberger,
For those that may miss it, please follow up and post a report here with the names and contacts of companies that will hire.
The training is totally useless if no jobs are available and the people remain unemployed.
Sherrod Brown? Hah!
I was told that he is a career policitian. He only cares about himself. So, for good measure, you'll see him in the news when it appears as if he is doing something for us. Wrong.
It's not about helping us, it's about helping Sherrod Brown and keeping that rich fancy home in Avon, Ohio. And any other real estate, investments, or worldy goods funded by us taxpayers.
I wonder if his wife is selfish and greedy; or his kids? Or if they feel embarrassed because it is unamerican for policians to go against their people.
And it's not just this guy either. Time to vote in new people; (used loosely, for across the board).
It has already hit this area. In fact, the whole country. This is nothing new. It started back in the 1960's.
I am a college degreed Electrical Engineer with 4 years of experience as an Electrical Engineer and I can not get interviews in the Cleveland area, as well as many parts of the country. I tried.
Invacare care has repeatedly turned their back on me for job interviews.
I read elsewhere that roughly 25% of businesses plan to hire in 2010. I doubt it, but I sure hope I am wrong.
Something is drastically wrong when society repeatedly tells people to get college degrees for good jobs. Then, when those people get the degrees, those same "experts" now tell them that they need experience to get the good jobs. The the "job experts" will say to go learn nursing; that's where you can get a job.
But I know as many other intelligent scholars know what is really going on here and who is causing this big problem. We will get back to you and solve this big mess you've created.
Hello Lydia,
How is the job search going? I am a laid off Electrical Engineer. I can not find anything in the Cleveland area.
I remember trying several times at WKYC-TV, but could never get an interview.
Hello Natasha,
How is the job search going? I too am a laid off Electrical Engineer. I can not find anything in the Cleveland area.

Consumer Comfort in U.S. Falls to Lowest Level in Two Months
July 26 (Bloomberg) -- Consumer confidence in the U.S. fell last week to the lowest level in two months as Americans became more concerned about sluggish growth in employment.
The Bloomberg Consumer Comfort Index fell to minus 38.5 in the week ended July 22 from minus 37.9 in the previous period.
An index of the buying climate, one of the three components of the index, fell to minus 44.7, its lowest reading since May. A gauge of personal finances rose to 1.2 from 0.7, and a measure of the state of the economy improved to minus 71.9 from minus 72.8.
The confidence of full-time workers dropped to minus 32, the lowest level since February. Sentiment among households earning more than $100,000 turned positive for the first time in five weeks.
The Bloomberg Consumer Comfort Index, produced by Langer Research Associates, is based on responses to telephone interviews with a random sample of 1,000 consumers 18 years old and older.
Each week, 250 respondents are surveyed, and the percentage of negative responses is subtracted from the share of positive views and divided by three. The most recent reading is based on the average of responses over the previous four weeks.
The comfort index can range from 100, indicating every participant in the survey had a positive response to all three components, to minus 100, signaling all views were negative. The margin of error for the headline reading is 3 percentage points.

Vegetarian Nachos is not an oxymoron!
Many of my meat eating friends have always mentioned that veggie burgers and veggie nachos don't have a place in this universe.
I have proved them wrong, time and again, yet, they refuse to accept it. Now, I am in the market for new friends, preferably vegetarian.
Here is a vegetarian nachos recipe that all meat eaters can get behind. The recipe is about comfort food and it is about Cinco de Mayo!
Years ago, the best vegetarian nachos I had were in a hole-in-the-wall restaurant in Manhattan. They put mangoes in their nachos and that blew my mind! They also had a Pico de Gallo made from pineapples and tomatoes. Since then, I have been bitten by the Nachos Bug!
For my blog, I wanted to pay homage to that hole-in-the-wall restaurant where I first fell in love with beans and cheese. What better time to pay homage to it than on Cinco de Mayo?
Yes, I can appreciate the underlying irony.
Nachos are an Americanized Mexican dish and Cinco de Mayo is an Americanized Mexican Holiday.
Regardless of its origins, I can't help getting caught up in the spirit of Cinco de Mayo.
Some days, I like to browse the clearance section of Target and get lucky once in a while. I found these tiny cast iron skillets for only $2!
They are perfect for individual vegetarian nachos. This will work great as an appetizer for my Cinco de Mayo guests and also have a portion control factor to them. Add Margaritas and you have the formula for a great party.
Mangoes make this recipe. Guests are not expecting a layer of sweetness to go along with the spiciness of the nachos, but, they are delighted when they first bite into it. If you don't have fresh mangoes, you can substitute Pineapples. Canned pineapple will work if you can't get fresh pineapple
If you are looking to make a healthy vegetarian nachos recipe, skip the cheese in my recipe and use low fat nachos. Also, you can use the Greek yogurt dip recipe from Food.com instead of the sour cream dip.
A while back, I had made 5 tomato salsa which would go GREAT with recipe. Prepare the recipe as described below and top it with the 5 tomato salsa or use it as a dip.
What is your favorite Cinco de Mayo dish?
Recipe Details (Makes 2 portions of Vegetarian Nachos)
- – 3 cups of Nacho chips
- – 1 cup of black beans, soaked overnight. If you don't have fresh Black beans, use canned black beans.
- – 1 cup of pinto beans, soaked overnight. If you don't have fresh pinto beans, use canned pinto beans.
- – 1 cup of frozen sweet corn
- – 1 fresh Jalapeño or 2 tsp of Jalapeño in a jar
- – ½ of a red onion
- - ½ of an Avocado
- – ½ of a ripe mango
- – 2 tsp of Taco seasoning packet
- – 1 tsp of cumin seeds
- – 1 tsp of sunflower oil
- – 1 cup of Mexican blend shredded cheese
- – Juice of ½ lemon
- – 1 cup of sour cream
- – 1 tsp of salt
- – 1 tsp of freshly ground pepper
- – Preheat the oven to 375 or set the toaster oven to 300
- – If you are using canned Pinto and black beans, wash them thoroughly with cold water
- – Cut the onions, Jalapeño, avocado and mangoes finely
- – Heat a small pan and add the oil
- – Add cumin seeds and allow them to brown slightly
- – Add the beans and corn to the oil

- – Be generous with the final cheese topping
- – Place the skillet in the oven and allow the nachos to cook for about 7-10 minutes depending on your oven
- – While the vegetarian nachos are in the oven, prepare the Sour Cream dip by mixing the ingredients

St. Augustine's University – the proud, historically black campus near downtown Raleigh – is facing questions about its financial health.
A recent audit obtained by The News & Observer turned up problems with financial controls. Enrollment was down in 2013, resulting in a $3 million drop in net tuition revenue, according to a financial statement included in the auditor's report.
A contractor on the school's football stadium sued for breach of contract, alleging that the university stopped payments and owes nearly $675,000.
The university has eliminated 15 positions, mostly through attrition and retirements, according to a statement from President Dianne Boardley Suber. St. Aug's will try to avoid layoffs, she said, but a one-week furlough is likely for employees.

Current set-theoretic research on infinity focuses on the following three broad areas: large Cardinals and inner model theory, descriptive set-theoretic methods and classification problems, and infinite combinatorics. The programme HIF will connect these three main strands of set-theoretic research and other fields of set theory to the wider scope of mathematics, to research in the foundations of mathematics, including some philosophical issues, and to research on computational issues of infinity, e.g. in theoretical computer science and constructive mathematics. Three workshops are planned during the programme: The first one (August 24-28, 2015) will be the 5th European Set Theory Conference. The second workshop, entitled "New challenges in iterated forcing" will be a Satellite Meeting held at the University of East Anglia in Norwich (November 2-6, 2015). A final workshop will take place on December 14-18, 2015. For full details please see www.newton.ac.uk/events.html.

Quick road to Baltimore for Gausman
Kevin Gausman gets the call
BALTIMORE – Kevin Gausman walked into the Orioles clubhouse, put down his belongings, and walked into manager Buck Showalter's office.
Even though Gausman's addition hasn 't been made official, he'll start on Thursday in Toronto.
Gausman was told on Tuesday night in Akron, Ohio, where Bowie was playing.
"I don't think it hit me until today," Gausman said. "I was kind of thinking: 'I'm really here. This is crazy.'"
Gausman had been pitching for Bowie, and now after just 13 minor league starts, he's in the big leagues.
"I didn't know what to expect. I was really happy and really excited," Gausman said.
With the Baysox, he was 2-4 with a 3.11 ERA. He had 49 strikeouts and five walks in 46 1/3 innings.
He was kept in major league camp until the last week because they liked his talent and to see how he fit in.
"Part of the reason they kept me there was to kind of get used to being around these guys," Gausman said.
He had to get used to the grind of professional ball and the five-man rotation. His slider has improved, but so has the competition.
"I think the hitters up here probably have more of a plan. I think the hitters are smarter and make quicker adjustments. As pitcher whether you're starting or in the pen, you have to make quicker adjustments," Gausman said.
In spring training, Gausman's first appearance was against the Blue Jays in Dunedin, Fla., but by the time he was in the game, their big names were out of it.
"It doesn't really mean anything," Gausman said. "I know their lineup. I know some of their marquee guys. Other than that, I didn't know much."
There was no "aha" moment for the 22-year-old, one that convinced him the big leagues were calling him, but his call-up happened so quickly that he has a regret.
"I wish I had hugged this guy or said thanks and stuff like that, but it didn't really hit me until today," Gausman said.

Lexington Police said a woman was home alone on Lakewood Drive when someone burglarized her house.
Officers arrested John Patton, 36, and charged him with several counts including burglary and fleeing police.
They said the woman hid under her bed and called 911.
Landscapers working in the area said several police cars showed up outside the house.
Officers said Patton busted out one of the front windows in the house and ran.
"He bust a window and this guy like dives out and takes off running," Tyler Burke said. "And I you know they were all like stop police, which I had never seen before. It was like out of a movie."
Police said they caught up with Patton about a block from the house.
"This is the first time I've ever seen this in my life," Patton said. "Especially like in a nice neighborhood to see a guy just bust out of a window and dive into some bushes and take off running."
Investigators said the woman was shook up, but she responded perfectly to the situation.
"I think what she did was perfect," Lt. Raymond Roller said. "You try to go to a safe place and contact the police department by calling 911. And don't obviously confront the subject unless you have to."
Officers said they are looking into other burglaries that have taken place in that neighborhood to see if they are possibly connected to Patton.

If watching Jessica Simpson's gigantic elephant-in-the-room baby bump grow larger and larger with each passing day without comment has taught us anything, it's to always keep our eyes peeled for secret baby friends. Now that In Touch has reported that Kevin Federline allegedly passed out and had to be hospitalized, we can only arrive at one conclusion…you guys! Britney's ex is pregnant! "Kevin was in the hospital for four days after he got sick and passed out," a source reported to the magazine, explaining that Federline had been treated for heatstroke and dehydration in mid-November. Okay, sure, it could be heatstroke but we've all seen Junior; we all knew this was only a matter of time.
Think about it: KFed's weight as always fluctuating, plus he loves kids; he now has five, including baby daughter Jordan Kay with girlfriend Victoria Prince. Now he's getting the vapors and losing consciousness? The source seems to attribute KFed's hospital stay to his sting on Australia's celeb weight loss series Excess Baggage, adding "Kevin had to swim across a river with alligators on the show." Gasp! Just like we would do if we were pregnant. Consider it another case solved for the Fetus Detectives! We mean…TheFABlife!

Series Records
None of the opponents are new to the Georgia program, with the Bulldogs having faced each school at least once in program history. Winthrop is the most familiar of the teams, as the schools have faced one another 19 times in a series that dates back to 1998. This is also the second meeting between the teams this season, with Georgia taking a 5-3 win during the opening weekend in Athens, Ga. The Bulldogs lead the all time series 17-2. Georgia is 3-0 all-time against the Kent State Golden Flashes. The last time the two teams faced one another was in 2008 when Georgia took a 3-1 win. The Bulldogs have seen Western Illinois twice on the diamond. Georgia and the Leathernecks played last year, with Georgia coming away with a 2-0 win. The lone meeting between Georgia and North Carolina A&T came in 2001 when the Bulldogs took an 8-4 win over the Aggies.
Quick Notes
Not One but Two Grand Slams: Paige Wilson hit not one, but two grand slams last weekend against Radford. The sophomore becomes just the third player in school history to hit a grand slam and the first since 2011 when Ashley Razey and Alisa Goler each hit two. In Georgia's 11-0 win over Radford, Wilson sent the pitch over the right field wall for her first-career home run. She repeated the hit on Sunday against Radford, sending a pitch to nearly the same spot in Georgia's 12-0 win. Wilson also secured the Bulldog's 10-2, six-inning win over Radford in the first game on Sunday with her two-run blast to right in the sixth inning.
Wilkinson's No Hitter: In her first win of the season, Chelsea Wilkinson threw a complete-game no-hitter in Georgia's 11-0 win over Radford on Sunday, March 3. Wilkinson became the 17th pitcher to throw or combine for a no-hitter. She becomes just the seventh pitcher in program history to throw a no hitter by herself.
Swafford on Fire: Anna Swafford went 9-for-19 last weekend to hit .474 with two home runs, a double and two triples last weekend. She also scored eight runs and drove in five, while slugging 1.053. The home runs, doubles and triples were the firsts of the season for the sophomore. She also played in the outfield and at third and did not commit an error.
Power Hitters: The bats came alive for Georgia, as it hit .378 in six games and slugged at a .727 clip, out scoring its opponents 46-7. Wilson and Swafford each slugged over 1.000 in six games. The Bulldogs also had six different players hit at least one home run, with Wilson leading the way with three. Swafford, Geri Ann Glasco, Kaylee Puailoa, Tess Sito and Tina Iosefa each went yard for the Bulldogs over the weekend. The home runs by Sito and Iosefa were the first of the season for each player.
Sito in the Circle: Sito made her season debut in the circle for the Bulldogs against Radford on March 1. Sito threw three scoreless innings, allowing just two hits and striking out six, leading Georgia to an 11-0 win. She also threw two innings against North Dakota State.

Remembering 'Whizzer' White: Hyper competitive, harmonica playing, family man
"Everybody thinks I'm retired," Wilford "Whizzer" White, then 81, told me when I interviewed him in his hard-to-find office off a downtown Mesa street in November 2009. "Shoot, I'm not retired. I can't afford to retire."
ASU football legend Wilford 'Whizzer' White - in photos | ASU legend 'Whizzer' White dead at 84
Ironically there had been a recent break-in at Mesa Merchant Police, the security company that White took over from his father after knee injuries derailed his pro football career. Whizzer was dealing with that and with rotator cuff surgery on his right arm.
"I go to that Fitness something or another," for rehab, White said. "I didn't hurt it in any particular thing. All of a sudden it started bothering me. The doctor went in there and says you've used that arm a lot. With fastpitch softball, football, basketball and constantly throwing rocks, it just wore out.
"When we go to the mountains or if we're by a canyon, me and my boys try to see who can throw the furthest underhanded. Up until this, I could beat them both."
Ever competitive, that was Wilford White, perhaps Arizona State's greatest football player until the 1970s. He still is fourth in school career rushing (3,173 yards), and he was the national rushing leader in 1950 with 1,502 yards, second in ASU history only to Woody Green's 1,565 in 1972.
White, who died Thursday at age 84, was a seminal player in ASU football history, choosing to play at home when he could have gone to Tennessee, BYU, UCLA, USC or Arizona, which crushed ASU 67-0 in 1946 when White was a senior at Mesa High School.
"I didn't like the way they did it," said White, who attended the most one-sided game in Territorial Cup history in Tucson. "I made the decision that night I wasn't going to UA."
White told me about being recruited by Tennessee, coached from 1946-52 for a third time by Gen. Robert Neyland. "They were really after me. They made all kinds of great offers. I was here at home and this guy from back there drove up in my yard with a great big beautiful car. He was trying to talk me into signing and sort of insinuated about the car.
"I couldn't see going that far away and leaving my parents when just down the road they could go to watch me play. I had to tell him no. He shook his head and couldn't believe it. I'm just a home boy."
Steve Coutchie coached at Mesa High when White was a freshman and sophomore until being hired at ASU after World War II. His first season went so poorly (2-7-2) including the embarrassment against UA that ASU President Grady Gammage and others vowed improvement. The Sun Angel booster group was forced, the school nickname was changed from Bulldogs to Sun Devils, Sparky was created as mascot and Ed Doherty was hired to coach prized recruit White.
"He was really an intelligent guy and an innovator as far as football," White said of Doherty, a former head coach at Boston College who was nicknamed The Brain. "We were running the shotgun long before anyone else. We ran the straight T then we ran the single wing T. We used the shotgun mainly as a running formation. We ran a lot of I formation. He told me one time you know don't you I put that wing T and shotgun in because of you."
ASU improved each season in the Doherty/White era, peaking at 9-2 in 1950. The Sun Devils played in the Salad Bowl after the 1949 and '50 seasons. In 1949, they beat Arizona for the first time since 1931.
White, also an elite kick returner, scored 22 total touchdowns in 1950, tying with Nebraska's Bobby Reynolds for the national lead. Reynolds won a coin flip for the Mr. Touchdown USA trophy, White told me, while pointing out the turntable/radio he received instead. "I haven't plugged that in for so long," he said. "My kids got a lot of those old, old songs and put them on CDs."
White's most famous son, of course, is Danny White, who has the most wins as a starting quarterback at ASU and starred for the Dallas Cowboys. His extended family grew to more than 20 grandchildren, including former ASU, BYU and Arizona Cardinals quarterback Max Hall, and 50 great grandchildren.
"Your family means everything to you," White said. "I like to think he (Danny) couldn't run like I could, but I couldn't throw and think and do these other things he does."
He took out a package of small harmonicas from nearby Milano's Music and played "This Old Man." His nickname Whizzer came from his freshman football coach at Mesa High dubbing him the wizard of the harmonica. "The writers changed it from wizard to whizzer — like Colorado All-America halfback Byron "Whizzer" White — "and that stuck."
The Chicago Bears took White in the third round of the 1951 NFL draft, but surgeries took over his explosiveness. "I could go to my right, but I couldn't do a cross-over running to my left and cut up field," he said. "I told Papa Bear (George) Halas, you know coach I don't think I can be effective. He tried to talk me into continuing, but I told him I'd better quit and retire."
White played just two seasons with the Bears, mostly returning kicks, then took a swipe at Canadian football before returning to his hometown to work first in insurance then in a security business that would employ 60 at its height.
"I tell everybody I was running scared because I hated to get hit," White said. "That's the best motivation I can think of."
I asked if he still imagined himself in his athletic prime. "All the time," he said. "I see something and I'll say if I could be back in my 18-year-old body, I'd eat you alive. That competitiveness is always there. I don't care what it is, playing cards. You just don't want to lose."

latest system update pwnd my bootcamp
There were some updates that my computer installed last night, one of them was an airport extreme update (i don't remember the 2 others). It asked for a restart after them, and ever since then it doesn't let me choose my OS on startup. When i hold down Alt/Option it doesn't give me a choice, it just boots to the default drive. The only way i can now switch to windows is to designate the windows partition as default, then i have to change the default back to OSX to return to the mac side. Any suggestions about what to do?
So i guess i'm the only unlucky one after this latest software update?
Is there a way to do a system restore or anything?
can u see then bootcamp drive in osx on the desktop, or disk utility?
maybe try to restore the drive to a single partition using the bootcamp util. and just doing a reinstall .
if its not coming up at bootup, that cant be good!
I'm not sure what you mean, but the windows harddrive can be seen on the mac side. I really don't wanna restore to one partition and start all over...ugh. I guess i'll just keep changing the target disk startup until i find time to go through all of that...what a pain.
This is so weird, but it started working again for no reason today...so the mystery continues. Thx for your help tho kgeier. :)

BREAKING: Man taken to hospital as broken-down car hit on busy route
Posted: January 30, 2014|
A MAN was taken to hospital after a broken-down car was hit by a van on a busy route in South Derbyshire.
Motorists faced lengthy delays after the stationary Mitsubishi Colt was struck by an oncoming Mercedes Sprinter Van on the eastbound junction of the A50, near Hilton, at around 6.10am this morning.
The smash sent the car hurtling off the road, with one lane closed for more than three hours while the vehicles were recovered.
An ambulance and firefighters from Tutbury and Kingsway were in attendance at the scene.
Derbyshire Fire and Rescue Service said the man taken to hospital was not thought to be seriously injured.
The lane closure led to substantial delays along the A50.
A lane was also closed on the A42, near Ashby, this morning after a crash between junction 12 and the A511 exit at around 7.30am.

Every dish I have tried here is definately above average. And with a menu that boast $16 as the highest priced dish you really cannot beat the value here. BYOB makes it a great place to be able to enjoy a good wine without having to shell out ridiculous amounts for the restaurant mark up. Highly recommended if you want a very good meal without having to spend a lot of money.
Posted by Rick Holsten on 12/28/2006
This small but enchanting restaurant serves delicious Italian specialties and normal grill fare for those who fancy other foods. The best thing is that they welcome the customer to bring his own favorite wine to enjoy with his/her meal. My favorite a Hardy's Shiraz with penne pasta and a diablo sauce... Yummy.
Posted by Cruz on 07/20/2006
This small gem of an Italian BYOB is a cut above most in terms of food and atmosphere. Two big plusses are that it takes reservations and it's one of the few that is open for lunch. Of course, like most of the BYOB's it gets very crowded and noisy, so don't plan on a quiet, intimate meal here.

NORTHRIDGE, Calif. –
The Cal State Northridge Matadors are heartbroken to announce the loss of Ryan Rossi, a forward on the men's soccer team from 2002-2006, who passed away on December 11 at 8:46 p.m. at the age of 27.
"Ryan was one of my favorite players and he had a way of making everyone feel special," said head coach Terry Davila. "His gift was how he affected people in a positive way through his soccer, music and love of people. He was a tremendous competitor and teammate and we will greatly miss him."
Rossi was a key component of Coach Davila's offense throughout his career for the Matadors, earning starts and coming off of the bench to produce as his teams won a combined 48 matches in his four playing years for Northridge. Rossi finally cracked the starting 11 in his junior year and finished tied for second on the team with seven goals and added two assists for 16 points as the Matadors advanced to the third round of the 2005 College Cup.
Rossi earned All-Big West Second Team honors as a junior and repeated the feat in 2006 after a six-goal campaign.
As a freshman, Rossi earned his first collegiate goal and assist in the same match, a 4-0 win against New Mexico. As a sophomore, he scored in back-to-back victories over UNLV and San Diego and had the game-winner over the Rebels. He also scored back-to-back game winners as a junior against Big West rivals UC Irvine and Cal Poly.
For his career, Rossi scored 21 goals and had 10 assists for 52 points. He made 21 starts and appeared in a total of 74 matches, the 12th-most all-time at Cal State Northridge.
Rossi listed his greatest athletic accomplishment as winning the Dallas Cup with his club team that was coached by Keith West, a former men's soccer standout and current women's soccer head coach at CSUN.
"He will be missed," said West. "We loved him deeply and we will cherish the memories we have of him."
From his hospital bed, Ryan shared his thoughts on the world and the need for people to embrace one another. He used the phrase "Just Love It" to express the sentiment.
"'Just Love It' is about waking up everyday and saying, 'I'm gonna take full advantage of this day.'" – Ryan Rossi (11/17/84 - 12/11/11)
