Fixing things not broken creates messes
Those who attempt to fix things that are not broken specialize in creating disorder, disarray, difficulties, trouble and first-class messes. We have experienced an outbreak of stupidity at its highest rank and lowest rung of achievement in the last half-dozen years.
This poison of dumbness and stupidity seems to overwhelm what Josh Billings labeled "Unconscious ignorance" and William Shakespeare defined as "Not so much brain as ear wax." Does ear wax really do all the thinking of some decisions?
Such dullness in thought processes and decisions seems to behave this way in local, county, state and national government. Our accumulated ignorance may be on the verge of overtaking our limited knowledge and restricted wisdom.
Some of our elected and supposed superior leaders would flunk out on the first round of the county "spelling bee."
I have driven my automobile through the major cities of our nation, enjoyed the beauty and recognized accomplishments in the surrounding areas that give life to such cities as Boston, New York, Washington, Atlanta, Miami, Nashville, Chicago, Houston, Denver, Phoenix, Los Angeles, San Francisco and others.
All of these unusual and beautiful cities have men and women who know a great deal about the town in which they live and how to repair its failures, but who might know very little about the needs and ability to repair problems in Putnam, Cabell, Kanawha and Mason counties. .
When I was a little boy and our five-person family lived in three rooms and a path at the head of Cabin Creek, I was convinced that my daddy could fix anything that was ever broken. Many other people in that area also believed that. When anything went wrong, my dad, Clarence Ellis, was usually the first person they called.
In every part of our nation's life -- in the counties, states and nation -- we sometimes want to ask, "Is there anybody who knows how to do anything?"
My brother, a public school educator who once lived on five acres, decided to take a class at night on small engine repair. He wanted to be qualified to fix his lawnmower, wheelbarrow and other equipment. "Whitey" has always been good with tools. He did, however, notice a man in bib overalls and a plaid shirt who seemed to be having difficulty handling the nuts and bolts, screws and nails in the class. He was all thumbs. After a few weeks, with friendships beginning to get into the mix, he got up his courage one night and asked this good brother, "Just what do you do during the day?"
The answer received was not expected. The man replied, "I am the chief surgeon in the hospital." That should confirm the fact that we are not all gifted, accomplished, skilled and educated in the same things.
We do our best in the things we do best. A New Testament writer said, "But do not forget to do good and to share, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased" (Hebrews 13:16).

Scotland's annual celebration of its LGBT community is now in its 20th year...
"Legacy" is one of those words that means different things to different people. It could be something to do with your work, your family, or just how you go about your day-to-day. It's all about leaving something behind to be remembered for, right? Well, it's kind of fitting then that "legacy" has been selected as the theme for this year's annual Glasgay! in, you guessed it, Glasgow, Scotland.
This year marks the 20th anniversary of Glasgay!. It started as a week-long event back in 1993, before flourishing into an eventual month-long celebration of all things LGBT back in 2006. And the legacy that organisers have always wanted to leave behind is simple - to reduce the stigmatism surrounding the LGBT lifestyle and to create a more welcoming environment throughout Glasgow and, as such, Scotland.
Glasgay! hopes to achieve its goals of a more diverse society and opening people up to new experiences by using the mediums of theatre, film, comedy and the visual arts. And there have been some huge names in past line-ups - from Sir Ian McKellan to Scotland's own Rhona Cameron. This year will be no different with, highlights from the programme including The Wizard of Oz with the Royal Scottish National Orchestra, Handel's Cross and L'Enfant Terrible of the London theatre scene, Scottee.
Creative Scotland and Glasgow City Council, who are both main funders for the festival, are also recognising the significance that Glasgay! has within the creative industries and is hoping to continue this by funding commissions of new work from local Scottish artists.
Glasgay! is currently in full swing and runs until November 9th. For more information, or for a full programme of events, visit Glasgay!

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) – Federal wildlife officials say a third protected red wolf has been shot to death since North Carolina adopted a new rule allowing coyotes to be hunted at night with spotlights.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service said Friday a red wolf was found last week near Creswell, near the Washington and Tyrrell county line. Other wolves were found shot on Oct. 12 in Beaufort County and Sept. 4 in Tyrrell County.
The state Wildlife Resources Commission allowed overnight coyote hunting in August.
Wildlife and environmental groups next week are seeking a court order to block the rule because red wolves resemble coyotes and are hard to tell apart even during the day.
About 100 red wolves live wild in a five-county region in northeast North Carolina.

The official Bank of America loan modification application form is called the RMA-Request for Modification and Affidavit. This particular form is required for all homeowners who are trying to get a loan mod, and the bank actually uses the information on this form to determine if you qualify for help or not. Take your time filling this loan mod form out-if you do it right you will greatly increase your chances of approval!
TIPS on How to Fill Out the Bank of America RMA Loan Modification Application:
- Get familiar with the form, and understand why the bank is asking for certain information from you. Keep in mind that everything you write down on this form will be reviewed carefully, and then used in the standard approval formula to determine if you are eligible for a loan mod.
- The RMA is 3 pages long-the first page asks for your residence information, co borrower information, job history, if the home is listed for sale, bankruptcy info. You need to indicate that you wish to keep your home and want to apply for the HAMP loan modification.
- At the bottom of page 1 is the Affidavit of Hardship-this provides four
boxes to choose from with acceptable reasons for qualifying for a loan workout. There is also a small area where you can write more about your situation. You can use a separate sheet of paper, just be sure to write your loan number and sign that page when you attach it to the RMA. It is a good idea to explain briefly what has happened to you to cause the financial trouble, what you have done to try to correct it, express how much your family wants to stay in their home and that you will be able to pay and maintain the new modified mortgage.
- Page 2 of the Bank of America RMA application is the really important part-this is where you provide a detailed accounting of your monthly income, expenses and assets. The loan mod approval formula is really a mathematical formula that utilizes your financial information, property value and current mortgage information. Your monthly gross income, monthly expenses and bank balances are the most important part of this approval formula-so you must show the acceptable figures. If you are not sure what your budget worksheet should show, you can run your figures through the Loan Mod Quick APP calculator to verify if you are passing, and find out where you may need to fine tune your figures before submitting.
- Page three is the signature page and explains the basics of the loan mod process, you sign this form under penalty of perjury.
Make sure that you keep a photocopy of the completed form-you should have it in front of you when you speak with Bank of America about our loan mod application progress.
The reason most homeowners are turned down is because they did not understand just how important the Bank of America loan modification RMA application form really is. Simply slapping something together and guessing at how to property complete your monthly budget information is not the way to get approved. When you understand how much income you need to qualify, and how to fine tune your expenses to pass the guidelines then you will have a much better chance of success.
Find out how to complete the RMA application form correctly before you submit your Bank of America loan mod paperwork. Get the help you need with the #1 resource for homeowners, The Complete Loan Modification

Figure painting gesture
oil on Masonite
I usually can't stand my figure painting class. That's usually cause I'm stuck in the corner with no light painting a dainty girl in a boring dress. Tonight, however we actually had a guy dressed in rugged overalls. There were actually fun shapes and value patterns. I had fun doing this gesture. I think it came out pretty well, except for the head. It'll be the base of a more refined painting that I'll finish over the following month.

U-Haul's legal confrontation with Johnson City has been rerouted back to Washington County.
The Eastern Section of the Tennessee Court of Appeals in Knoxville has denied the company's request to review a November decision by Washington County Circuit Court Judge Thomas Seeley that gave Johnson City the go-ahead to possess and demolish U-Haul's downtown property for a flood mitigation project.
The case now is back in Seeley's hands, and it will be up to a 12-person jury to determine what the city should pay to compensate the company for its property.
A three-judge panel concluded in its order that "this is not an appropriate case in which to exercise our discretionary jurisdiction at this time."
Seeley ruled Johnson City did show the condemnation and flood remediation project intended for the downtown U-Haul site was meant for public use and not primarily to generate tax revenue through eminent domain.
"Judge Seeley was the first gatekeeper, but they had a second gatekeeper — the three judges," said Erick Herrin, the attorney representing Johnson City. "They've decided it does not need to be addressed until the case is over in the trial court."
U-Haul not only will have the right to appeal the jury decision, the company also can ask the Tennessee Court of Appeals to consider Seeley's ruling and argue that the property at 114 W. King St. is being taken for "impermissible purposes," Herrin said.
"They can still do this because there has never been a determination of Seeley's original ruling on its merits," he said. "Judge Seeley will conduct a scheduling conference, which could be done either in person or by telephone. He then will follow up by setting a trial date."
This was the first case heard by a Tennessee appellate court involving state statutes regarding eminent domain since 34 states modified laws in 2008 in an attempt to ensure a city would not take property purely for the purposes of economic gain — an argument made by the company's lead counsel, Thomas Peebles during a three-day hearing.
In June, the city issued about $6 million in debt to help pay for the first three phases, a debt to be repaid by taxpayers. The first three phases include Founder's Park, the long-awaited $4.5 million project along West State of Franklin Road; the King Creek retention basin, which includes a swath of land where U-Haul now sits, where Cutshall's Automotive has been demolished and a site vacated by WW Cab Co.; and a recently demolished area off West Market Street on which King Creek will be opened up and a retention basin will be built.
The city's long-range flood mitigation plan is estimated to cost about $30 million. So far, land acquisition, environmental studies, design costs and the in-house McClure Street project near U-Haul's property to make way for three of eight planned phases have been paid for by taxpayers through stormwater fees.
"If they appeal, we'll be saying 'enough's enough,' " Herrin said. "My concern is we have $820,000 in that courthouse that isn't drawing one penny of interest," he added.
Johnson City had worked for more than a year to get U-Haul to accept that amount for the property, and to undergo negotiations to help the company relocate within Johnson City. But unlike other downtown property owners who accepted appraised amounts and went their way, U-Haul chose not to negotiate but to make a stand.

Challenge: Wear Colors You're Afraid Of
Challenge: Wear Colors You're Afraid Of
I'm actually not technically, technically afraid of any color, but I don't usually reach for red eyeshadows because I don't think they work well with me and take more effort than I usually can handle to work. I've had the best success combining it with golds and oranges for a sunset-like eye. I remember the first time I ever wore a pinky-red eyeshadow; my mom saw me not a minute after I had finished the look and asked if something was wrong and if I had been crying.
Is there a color you're "afraid" of? Maybe you can't find a way to make it work or you really don't think you can pull it off…
While I don't think I look like I spent the past hour crying my eyes out, I didn't love how it came out–the purple I picked for the lid color was too dark, and I think I'd opt for something with some shimmer to open up the eyes more (which is why I ended up adding a shimmery mauve to the inner tear duct area–there was just too much darkness on my eyes). So, I'm still working on finding a way to wear red eyeshadow that's not just gold/orange/red (because that combo I can do!). I almost, almost tried green with Christmas just around the corner but held myself back! 😉
You will need the following…
- Eyes: NARS Smudgeproof Eyeshadow Base (eyeshadow primer), Inglot #325 Eyeshadow (eggplant purple), Inglot #382 Eyeshadow (red), Inglot #450 Eyeshadow (cranberry), Inglot #420 Eyeshadow (mauve), Inglot #353 Eyeshadow (beige), Make Up For Ever #7 Aqua Liner (purple), Tarina Tarantino Glitter Mist Eyelicity Glitter Eyeliner (iridescent glitter), Hourglass Film Noir Mascara (black), Bare Escentuals Buxom Lash Mascara (black)
- Face: Make Up For Ever HD Foundation (130), Le Metier de Beaute Coral Nymph Cream Blush (peach-coral), Guerlain Les Voilettes Mineral Powder (03)
- Lips: Giorgio Armani #602 Gloss d'Armani (semi-sheer plum)
For eyes, I applied a light layer of NARS Smudgeproof on the lid as an eyeshadow primer from lash line to brow bone with a firm, flat brush. The first eyeshadow I applied was Inglot #450, and I used a fluffy crease brush to lay down the crease color to help provide a good blended background for the intense red I planned to use. Next, I applied Inglot #325 onto the lid with a small eyeshadow brush. With a firm, domed crease brush, I applied Inglot #382 into the crease and blended just slightly outwards so the red would also peek through with my eyes open. Using a large eyeshadow brush, I softened the crease color with Inglot #353 and applied it to the brow bone. To lighten the look, I applied Inglot #420 on the inner tear duct with a fluffy angled brush. On the lower lash line, I first applied Make Up For Ever #7 and layered Tarina Tarantino Glitter Mist on top. Finally, I applied a coat of Bare Escentuals Buxom to lengthen lashes and then thickened with Hourglass Film Noir.
For face, I applied Make Up For Ever HD with a circular foundation brush. I blended Le Metier de Beaute Coral Nymph onto cheeks with fingertips and set with Guerlain Les Voilettes. For lips, I applied Giorgio Armani #602.

19th century Klingenthal Hopf violin
This antique Klingenthal Hopf violin was made early in the 19. century, around 1820, in the famous Hopf workshops in Klingenthal. The back is originally branded Hopf on the button. The model is a typical Hopf model with flat archings and flat ribs. The tonewoods are of quality and beauty: the top is made of fine grained spruce, the two piece back of flamed maple. The aged varnish is of a typical Hopf yellow brown color, with beautiful patination. The violin is remarkably well preserved and in fine undamaged (crackfree) condition. The antique pegs with pearl inlay are especially beautiful and in fine condition. The violin is luthier-set up and in immediate playing condition. Its warm flute-like sound is bright and open, of very good strength and unique in character. Special recommendation!
Provenance: Klingenthal
Maker: Hopf
Length of back: 35.4 cm

There's no one living in them now, how are more people going to be diplaced. That is the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
Everyone is paying higher rent & housenotes these days, & most of us in the metro new orleans area have crappy jobs, we're suffering though it however. So should they, no more rent in public housing units for $70.00 per month & free ulities, and own 55 inch flatscreens, drive fancy cars, have gold teeth, and go get the hair & nails done every week. Wake up, we live in a real world, not Barbie's!!!
Help like public housing should be for the elderly & disabled only!!!
Vince7, why don't you read Gildareed.com or weneedreed.com, before deciding. Call her, she'll answer any question honestly, if she doesn't know the answer she'll find out. She is also very educated, she has a Phd. in her field. I think you'll be very surprised & will appreciate her honesty, how smart she is & how much she loves Louisiana and the people who live here.
Good people like her are a rare find, and they are not the kind you throw back, she's a keeper!
Every Fool should have known to have flood insurance. We are surrounded by waterways & live in a bowl. If you could afford homeowners there's no excuse to not have flood, if it wasn't required it's dirt cheap! Why would anyone trust anything that's manmade & levee's fail allover all the time. They always will, conditions change, & man is not perfect!
I'm at the point where I'm not sure if i'm going to for for Ms. Clinton or not, but I'd vote Republ. before i'd vote for Obama. He only became a Christen when he decided to go into public service. I can't and never will trust a radical muslim. He's already wanting to buddy up with Cuba who are socialist, and he's talking about how he wants to work with the countries we are at war with( the same ones he grew up in). Pizz on that. I don't and never will believe anything he says, he talks with a sword tongue!
I'd like to know is there a Indian museum in the city anywhere? I have have never seen one. I know there's a tiny one in Bogalusa and maybe one in Mandeville, but not here. There should be one since that's where New Orleans, the gulf coast's, and surrounding area's true culture history come from. It would be nice to have one in honor of what they gave up for us.
There are hundreds of people who are still getting free rent in trailers while they are at the casino's & the fair grounds spending what Fema & Road Home has given them. If there's a way to screw the government these friggin people know & do do it!
The innocent must surely suffer by the hands of the guilty everytime...
LOOK! Do you see it? There's asbestos & lead paint particals flying around everywhere! Everybody around better call Morris Bart, EEEEE & Michael Hingle fast. What about the poor guys tearing the building down & the lady on the sidewalk, their contaminated!
I think the gesture is nice, but what was more needed was something like a this for police officers. They are the more need in this city than anywhere else in the U.S. and I have never heard anyone even mention building a house muchless a village for them.
I think this woman has accomplished alot more than any of her opposing candies. She has done alot for this state after Katrina as well, and she did most of it behind the big lights & cameras . She did what she thought was right and done it out of the kindness in her heart. I truely believe she is a good person on the inside.
I have spoken to a couple of people who won't vote for her because she didn't leave her husband when he betrayed her, but I feel like I respect her more because she stayed. It's takes one-hell-of-a-woman to put up with that and to forgive him and stay with him. One can only imagine how ashamed, betrayed & hurt she must have felt, but she pulled it together and held her head up high!
This is so sad. I just don't know how anything could ever be so bad that you would want to die & take someones elses life as well. This is so unfair for this child. When I get down in the dumps I always try to remember god has some purpose for me, I just need to wait for it. I hope the child has someone to love, carefor, & support her, it's going to be a long & rocky road for her. May God bless & guide her.
People have been living in these trailors for years. This is nothing new & surely not the first diaster. Anyone who gets new carpet or renovates their home is going to have the same thing. The key to the entire issue is to air it out!
Why is it that I never see where these crooks are ordered to pay the money back? Jail is great, paying back with intereset is even better.
Is anyone really surprised by this? They poison our pets & they try poison us. I sign up for FDA recalls, everyday there are several foods from China being recalled. I don't understand why we trade with them.
Let's do some waterboarding & put it on T.V. so everyone can see.
It's about time these creeps go to jail!
Do the crime, Do the time!
I agree with you. I cannot support the very same people that we have our U.S. Troops overseas fighting and losing their lives over everyday. To me that would be like giving them our country to just come in and do whatever they want with it. Radical Muslims hate us, they vow to destoy us and any one (even their own) to get to us. I don't want any one with beliefs as that near me, muchless representing me. That is inbedded deep inside him, and you can't change years & years of beleiving in a couple years.
I don't want that tiger near my baby either...
If you people think Obama or any other President that says they are going to bring change is what it's gonna take, ya'll would believe Bin Liden is the good guy. No one man by himself can knock down a mountain. It took many years to screw it up this bad, and it's going to take many-many years and different people to help it, not fix it.
Hillary, You Go Girl!!!
Help is being given to people, but the more they give, the more they come. The homeless problem is growing & growing more everyday, more than 1/2 are from other states.
Why couldn't Nagin see this a long time ago, like when they were sleeping across from city hall? Did he have his blinders on?
I hear so many of these people are from other states and came here for work, lots say they can't afford rent. Why don't they team up with others and all pitch in? I know a single man from here that stayed for the storm & when he was rescued they sent him to Lafeyette, they put him in a Fema trailor with 2 other single men. They lived like that for 2 years before he got back here. If they don't want to share then maybe they should go home. There are people from here that need help and should get it. That's why so many of the homeless programs are getting money, to help La. people, not everyone from everywhere else. Charity begins at Home...
Yes, he came here and smooth talked lots of people, that's all he's known for, Smooth talking. Kinda like C.Ray Nagin isn't he!
Well just remember, he voted against the money for us to rebuild our Wetlands, can you really believe every sweet little thing he says? Facts are facts, the ballots don't lie.

LETTER: Americans must regain values
Bob Zasadny, Oakland City, Ind.
Did Barack Obama have any tears in his eyes when he voted against BAIPA (Born Alive Infant Protection Act) in 2002 as an Illinois senator?
Did he tear up as he said he didn't want his daughters to be "punished with a baby?"
Was he kidding when he called a baby "a fetus outside of the womb?"
Does he appreciate the fact that he and his family are protected 24/7 by well-armed guards wherever he goes and will continue to receive that for the next 10 years after leaving office?
How can he support Sen. Dianne Feinstein in her efforts to ban certain weapons when she and husband Richard Blum make millions off of military contracts? (Guns/Military)?
Does he shudder when he thinks of the destructive power he has at his disposal, able to kill millions with a simple phone call to the right people?
I almost cry when I see how quickly Americans are being led like lambs to a fate worse than death — the rapid extinction of the traditional values that once made us the envy of the world and a beacon of hope for distressed people.
Now almost all of us are in that category. All I can do is hope we change, and soon.

Worker Retraining
In response to dramatic changes in the structure of Washington's economy, the layoffs of thousands of workers in major industries, and the long-term need for training programs for Washington citizens, the legislature enacted the Workforce Employment and Training Act in 1993.
As a result of this legislation, colleges created Worker Retraining programs that have served over 100,000 unemployed and dislocated workers in Washington. This law has significantly expanded the training available to the thousands of jobless workers who need to change careers in order to re-enter the workforce.
- Tuition, fees, and books for one quarter only.
- Support service money (short term transportation, tools, childcare) available on a limited basis.
- Scheduling, completion and retention advising
- Career & labor market information

Rousey's Mom Says UFC's Announcement Timing of Tate Replacing Zingano was A "Dick Move" on the Company's Part
By JAKE CHASTAIN
| Ronda Rousey gets her tenacity from her mother, that's for sure. Rousey has stated in the past that her mother is one of the biggest influences in her life and she has learned to fight under the guidance of her mother, Dr. Ann Maria Rousey DeMars.
DeMars was the first American to win a World Judo Championship and Ronda, following in her mother's footsteps, was the first women to be a UFC Champion. However, with Ronda now coaching the TUF reality show she has taken on an entirely new beast as she's dipping her feet into the reality television realm.
Ronda's mom has a blog that highlights things such as achieving success in business, sports and academics, Judo, parenting, mixed martial arts, winning & whatever else she feels like rambling on about.
Obviously, each season of TUF is going to give birth to some pretty big surprises but in light of the recent announcement of Tate stepping in for the injured Cat Zingano Ronda's mother took to her personal blog to voice her thoughts on this season of TUF.
Here is the entry:
Warning: This post is not for children.
Not that anyone asked me, but I thought I would give my opinion on The Ultimate Fighter show. I've only watched this show the season Manny Gamburyan was on it because, well, I have an actual job that requires me to go places like North Dakota, where I am at the moment, and do work.
Doing work conflicts with reality shows in general. I've watched about five minutes each of Jersey Shore (I think that's the name) and some show about the Kardashians. Both times, I changed the channel quickly as I felt brain cells beginning to die. I've never watched the O.C. which explains why, when I asked our dentist, Dr. Pratt, how his children were doing he gave me a strange look and said, "You don't watch TV, do you?"
When I heard about the last-minute switch in coaches for the show Ronda is on, my first thought was, "That's a pretty dick move."
Not so much replacing Cat, who was injured (ouch!) but keeping it from Ronda until the last minute. If you're going to have an athletic competition, then it should be fair. Among other things, that means you don't give one competitor information that the other doesn't have. You don't let one player know something weeks in advance of the other player.
So, it is pretty clear that whoever is making the decisions here has decided this is not an athletic competition, it's a reality show. That's what a lot of people have been saying all along, it's just going to be a side show and not a serious athletic event.
Here is my advice to Ronda, not that she asked me either, but that has never stopped me before.
You know who gets to decide if this is an athletic competition or a reality show? You.
My coach used to be amused by other coaches who before the match would be giving lengthy instructions to my competitor – get your right cross grip, then go for the uchi mata, then switch…. As Jimmy Martin said, why didn't they tell her that in the last six weeks before the match. Every now and then, though, he would get annoyed by all of the posturing. That's when he would pull me close and whisper in my ear his coaching advice.
"Fuck. Her. Up."
So, if I was Ronda, I would train my ass off and I would follow the sage coaching advice of Jimmy Martin. I'd also make damn sure I found out who pulled that dick move on me and never trust him/them again. The good thing is you get to take out your emotions beating people up and that will make a great show.
You can forgive, but don't forget. If someone will manipulate you just for show, well, that tells you something about them doesn't it?

Yeah, except for the fact that Dana White, whom undoubtedly made the decision to withhold that information, has given Rhonda the biggest platform, and therefore the biggest opportunity of her post-Olympic life, while singing her praises all along. Now, there's no doubt that having Ronda is the UFC is a mutually beneficial situation, but if I were giving Rousey advice, I'd tell her to ignore every piece of non-judo related advice her mother gives her. She seems like a bitter person… suggesting the very fans that allow her daughter to make a living must be jobless, hobos because they're off work in time to watch TUF at 9-10pm. Yeah… smart lady.
Ronda's mom on point
I'm sorry last minute? They still have plenty of time to train. It's not like she showed up at the arena and was told this information. It doesn't matter anyway Rousey via armbar round 1. Her mom sounds like a cunt. Anyone who watches TV must have no job or live a pathetic life. I guess me being a med school student who happens to like mma makes me a retard.
+1, retard.
The 'I have an actual job' remark was a shitty one. Who does she think she is? I make 16 hours a day and yes I like to watch MMA and MMA related shows you f@cking old bat.
That's why Rhonda has no class. I'd like to see Cyborg grab her by the ankles and beat Rhonda with her.

Westernizers (Russian: Зáпадник, zapadnik) were a group of 19th century intellectuals who believed that Russia's development depended upon the adoption of Western European technology and liberal government. In their view, western ideas such as industrialisation needed to be implemented throughout Russia in order to make it a more successful country. In Russian the term was known as Zapadnichestvo (зáпадничество) which can be translated as "Westernism", and its adherents were known as the Zapadniki, westernists in English.[1] In some contexts of Russian history, the term zapadnichestvo or "Westernism" can be contrasted with Slavophilia, whose proponents argued that the West should adopt Russian cultural values, rather than the other way around.
In modern usage, especially in the developing world, the term can refer to supporters of Western-style economic development.

10.6.8 freezing issues
We upgraded 300 MBP's to 10.6.8 and now we have sporatic freezing issues when opening the lid to their computers. Seems to be if safari or mail is open when they close and reopen their lid to their computer. Anyone know of a fix to this? I created a new image with 10.6.7 and set up the way I want and it is stable but the users are already at 10.6.8. I moved a user back to 10.6.7 and iphoto couldn't open the iphoto library cause it upgraded the database to accomidate 10.6.8. Anyone know how to move back to 10.6.7 iphoto? Yes I can pull the photo's in manually but it looses the alums created etc. There seems to be a lot of jabber about freezing and 10.6.8 but nothing definite.
Does this happen when the users properly quit all programs before closing the lid? Does it happen if they have (internet connected programs) open and put it to sleep using the keyboard command rather than the lid? Are you sure that machines are re-connecting to the network IMMEDIATELY upon wake? Does your network require authentication to get on?
If users close out of all open programs before they close the lid then it doesn't do it as far as I am aware of. Also manual sleep seems to do the same as closing the lid. Seems to mostly happen when either mail or safari are open. Happens on about 30 to 40 % of users that are at 10.6.8 only on MacBook Pro's I5 processor. Does not happen with dual core . Yes when opening the lid the wireless cycles but does not connect and freezes for about 5 minutes then it seems to catch up and clear itself.
10.6.8 freezing issues
Has this problem been resolved? If so, could you please share how?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

CVRN 1 Exam
Posted on February 27, 2013 by Penete in Ask a Nurse
Question posted by: on 02/27/2013 |
I recently took the CVRN Level 1 exam (last weekend). I am still waiting for the test results. I found the test to be very hard and tricky. Also it was not the material I studied from the study books I ordered from the ANA.I took this exam from ABCM who has been approved by ANCC to administer the exam for this certification. However the exam content greatly varied from the ANCC content and format,(no rhythm strips, no 'multiple multiples' )both of which my exam was loaded with. I would like to know how long it normally takes to get test scores from this company, what percentage of participants pass, and how can ANCC approve them for giving the test when the fine print disclaimer says ANCC does not dictate the exam content ?

Oregon Court of Appeals
Logan v. State of Oregon
Date Filed:
Case #: A144503
Armstrong, P.J. for the Court; Duncan, P.J.; and Brewer, Judge pro tempore
Full Text Opinion: http://www.publications.ojd.state.or.us/docs/A144503.pdf
Post-Conviction Relief: In order to qualify for post-conviction relief based on trial counsel's failure to object to testimony, a defendant must be prejudiced by the attorney's failure to do so.
The State appealed judgment setting aside petitioner's convictions for four counts of first-degree sexual abuse, ORS 163.427, two counts of endangering the welfare of a minor, ORS 163.575, and granting Defendant post-conviction relief. The State argued that the post-conviction court improperly concluded that Defendant's counsel's performance was constitutionally inadequate because of his failure to object to testimony about "treatment recommendations" made after a sexual-abuse evaluation of the victim. In addition, the State argued that Defendant failed to establish that counsel's failure to object to the testimony resulted in prejudice. Defendant also cross-appealed on four grounds. The Court held the testimony about the treatment recommendations did not amount to a direct comment about the credibility of the witness. Therefore under the law at the time of the trial any objection to the comment as impermissible credibility vouching would have failed. Since the objection would have failed, the post-conviction court erred in granting petitioner post-conviction relief by concluding that petitioner had been prejudiced by counsel's failure to object to the admission of the treatment recommendations. The Court rejected Defendant's assignments of error without discussion. Reversed on appeal; affirmed on cross-appeal.

Our Story - A Family Business
Scott and his sisters Abby and Jody James all agree that the air plants growing in oak trees where they grew up in steamy South Florida were beautiful, but way too much trouble. Abby laughs remembering, "We used to climb high up in the trees in 99 degree heat and 98% humidity tugging away on giant air plants so that mom could use them to decorate for her backyard parties."
Mom's decorating ideas later became Scott's business idea when he realized that the majority of Americans were not familiar with the hundreds of majestic tropical air plant varieties that can easily be grown indoors - even in homes where outdoor climates are much colder.
Scott & Jody
So Scott began the process of acquiring numerous South American and Central American air plant species in his own nursery for mailing to homes everywhere.
His Mom (Judy) uses her knack for design by creating many of the terrarium, wood and cork air plant creations for the shop as well as stylish gift wrapping ideas. She jokes that, "Moms are great at giving their children advice, so you might as well get paid for it."

So a deal has been struck.... In mid-June my partner and I are heading to Amsterdam for a few days and then will continue on to explore northern Italy for almost two weeks. Our friend's mother is really looking forward to teaching me her secrets for making an amazing fettucini carbonara. I, on the other hand, am supposed to arrive ready to teach her how to make socks -happily she already knits but has yet to venture into the dark side of socks. A few years ago on new year's eve we were both in the US and I was knitting while she was cooking. Now it will happen in her kitchen in Cremona. It has always been a minor issue that we have no language in common. Now, I really do need to find a sock pattern in Italian (with English so that I can follow it) or get one of my favourites, in English, translated. All suggestions are welcome! Thanks - Phil
There is a site online where you can get translations for most common knitting or crochet terms.
For those of you who are used to knitting patterns in other languages, here are some links to knitting term translation dictionaries that I have found useful:
The WiseNeedle Glossary :
The Textile Dictionary from The Textile Rooms:
http://www.textilerooms.com/textile_dictionary/texile dictio...
List of knitting chart symbols from an Italian yarn manufacturer:
German knitting chart symbols from Burda knitting patterns:
YarnOver translation site for a variety of languages:
Garnstudio has a nice translation charts, too - including English, Norwegian, Swedish, Danish, German, French and Spanish.
Wow! thanks! what a resource. - Phil
I wrote Christina, the blogger of "Knitaly". She sent links to two different instructions for socks in Italian.
For the toe-up socks, you'll have to register, but Christina says it's free.
Have fun in Italy.
Thanks so much daninaa. We always speak of this site as being an incredible resource and support. Your response and research and that of others who have responded are serious evidence of that. -Phil
I tried one of the links I sent you and I couldn't get it to work, so I sent the text to you as private message. Please check your MWK private messages. For anyone who's interested, it seems that there's a woman named Alice Twain called "typesetter" in the blogosphere who writes in Italian about knitting, but who seems to speak English also (http://www.blogga.name/blog/a_typesetters_day_30; look at "categorie" on the right and click on "lana". One post from Nov. 24, 2009 links to a site where she's publishing free pdf patterns in Italian. The sock one is called "pervinche".)
great idea. Thanks. I'll follow up on that. - Phil
I took time to mull this one over. Some books have a glossary that tells you the terms for stitches and actions relating to knitting in several languages. If you can find one in Italian, that should be a help. But daninaa's suggestion is a really great one. -- Books, knitting, cats, fountain pens...Life is Good.
Thanks or this info Joe. Have you seen such a book or doe s title come to mind? I'll also follow up on daninaa's suggestion
The "Mon Tricot" knitting and crochet stitch dictionary has Italian terms. It was published in the 1970's, I think. [My copy, anyway.] So does "Barbara Abbey's Book of Knitting". Another thought that just came to me is trying an internet search with 'Italian knitting terms' as part of your parameters. Since the lady also is a knitter, that helps transcend language barriers as you can show her with your own needles and yarn as far as turning the heel and such. I do this when teaching heels, just knitting a swatch that incorporates what needs to be done, often as the beginners look on. Good luck. -- Books, knitting, cats, fountain pens...Life is Good.
Update: I just did a search and came up with a book called "Knitting Languages" that is billed as a dictionary covering a multitude of countries. Another posting - on the Rowan website - suggested using Google 'Babelfish' as a translation tool. I'm not very computer literate but it gives you another couple of things to follow up on. It suggested using 'Italian knitting terms in English translation' as the parameters, yielding a lot more hits. -- Books, knitting, cats, fountain pens...Life is Good.
check this out! With your encouragement I hit the jackpot! http://www.unfilodi.com/blog/dovetrovarebuoneidee/bettas-knitionary.html an Italian English dictionary made exactly for situations like this Thanks again - Phil
You are very welcome. The other good thing to come of this is all the resources for translation to other languages. -- Books, knitting, cats, fountain pens...Life is Good.
I suggest writing the author of the "Fluff buff" blog. She's Italian but lives in the LA area.

Jason Campbell earns second start
James W. Wade III | 10/30/2013, 9:58 a.m.
The Cleveland Browns lost against the Kansas City Chiefs Sunday 23-17 in a game where the Browns really had a chance. Making his debut at starting quarterback was Jason Campbell.
Campbell who had been the third string quarterback got the go ahead to try to lead the Browns to a victory over an undefeated team. The stats showed he completed 22 of 36 passes for 293 yards with two touchdowns, zero interceptions and a 105.4 rating. He completed a pass to nine receivers, a season-high figure for the club. Campbell registered the third-highest rating by a Browns quarterback in his debut start since 1999.
If you are concerned with what Browns coach Rob Chudzinski felt, he has already named him the starting quarterback for the week. "I thought Jason played very well. After looking at the tape, he was able to manage the game, was able to escape and get out of trouble, create some plays. He did a good job from a decision-making standpoint, protected the football, and he gave us a lift in that game. We were really pleased with how he played," said coach Chudzinski.
"Jason did a great job on a lot of things,'' Chudzinski said. "His leadership was key in us being able to hang in there and fight through the early deficit. At first glance, he made some great plays for us," said Chudzinski.
The Browns who are now 3 and 5 for the season. Thanks to Davone Bess' who had three dropped passes and fumbled a, punt return, which may have been the reason Cleveland did not win.
Not good when you lose a great player like Wide Receiver Travis Benjamin who tore his ACL, that will require surgery. He is out for this season.
Each week you hear me talk about Tight End Jordan Cameron. He caught four receptions for 81 yards. This season alone he has 596 receiving yards and six touchdowns. He should have no problem being on the Pro Bowl team.
Ok, so even up to game time rumors were still surfacing about trading Wide Receiver Josh Gordon. Gordon was on fire he caught five passes for 132 yards and one TD, a 39-yarder off a flea-flicker in the second quarter that made it 13-7.
Well the deadline has passed and Gordon is still a Brown, Gordon is a highly sought-after target. Since his return to the Browns after serving his two-game suspension this season, he is playing like he wanted to be in Cleveland and wanted to prove it to the leadership.
The team has never really come out and said they were looking to trade Gordon, but the rumor got out some how.
"We have no plans of trading any of our guys, including Josh. We're not shopping them. As far as any personnel rumors, speculations, those things, I'm really not going to get into," said Chudzinkski.
With Benjamin out for the year, the Browns needs Gordon for his speed and ability to get down field and catch the ball. The Browns game has to good in order to at least start winning at least 8 games in a season and if the Browns want to have any chance of reaching that goal, they must be in Cleveland helping the offensive. Gordon and Cameron are two targets that must still be in place.
If you wonder where Gordon's heart is, he let everyone know this past Sunday. "I feel like I'm where I want to be. I'm not saying I'm playing at a superb level. I still don't feel I've reached my full potential and I'm always going to feel like that until I'm done playing the game," said Gordon.
So much of that business for the Browns has been a train wreck since their return to the league in 1999. The franchise hasn't seen a quarterback play all 16 games as the starter since Tim Couch suffered through the task in 2001. For the second year in a row, no less than three passers have led the Browns into battle, but Gordon's numbers remain consistent.
"We're going to have to improve in that area. Those guys will step up, and I'm confident that they'll do that and continue to get balls to (TE) Jordan (Cameron) and Josh and the backs, as were doing. I think when we're playing well, you're seeing the ball get spread around that way," said coach Chudzinski.

Sue's huge heart for pets only got bigger when she met Trio, a three-legged, four-week-old pit bull. Inspired by the people who revived this critically injured stray pup in their home, Sue promised to always do right by her newly adopted best friend. Today, her non-profit, Trio Animal Foundation, funds the medical treatment of homeless animals.
The Trio Animal Foundation raises funds to help shelters and individuals pay the medical bills of homeless pets in dire need of medical attention. So far they've helped more than 2,000 homeless animals receive treatment, offering them a fresh start in life through adoption from a reputable rescue.
Teaching drama at a senior center in 1978, Stuart saw something more powerful than applause at the end of his performances. He saw a bridge between generations. Inspired to give more seniors a similar platform for creative expression, he founded Stagebridge to help make the last years of their lives the time of their lives.
Stagebridge offers seniors over 27 classes a week, including storytelling, playwriting, tap dancing, and singing. From those classes, 5 to 6 troupes, along with storytellers, perform in the Oakland community, including public schools and other senior centers. Their work is helping shift attitudes of aging toward a model of continuous growth, lifelong learning and creative expansion.
Jeff Kagan first fell in love with ice hockey at 24. At the time he was in the closet, but after discovering the Toronto Gay Hockey Association, he and his teammate, Jeff Minck, were inspired to bring that same open-mindedness to New York rinks. To help bring an end to local stereotypes in their city, they co-founded the NYC Gay Hockey Association in 1999.
Comprised of 7 teams and more than 100 players, the NYC Gay Hockey Association offers the gay community a chance to be a part of a sport that has traditionally not been as accepting. Their mix of gay and straight players is helping to change stereotypes and foster a new era that welcomes hockey lovers of all orientations.

For as long as she can remember, Lynn has had an affinity for animals. Her desire to help them began as child when she felt compelled to rescue earthworms who'd been washed up after heavy rains. So after years of searching for an ideal way to assist animals, Lynn founded Wildlife Rescue & Rehabilitation in 1977. There, she protects and cares for injured wildlife, from baby birds and squirrels who have fallen from trees to adult deer and raccoons who have been hit by cars.
The 212-acre Wildlife Rescue & Rehabilitation now rescues approximately 7,000 wild animals each year—over 150,000 since inception—and is home to over 600 permanent resident animals. Their staff of 25 works diligently to save, care for and rehabilitate everyone including native raccoons, opossums, bobcats, and birds as well as non-native primates and other wildlife rescued from the wild animal "pet" trade.

This guide offers practical advice to organisations providing care and support services about how to meet the needs of lesbian, gay and bisexual people. Sometimes changes to policy, staff training and awareness about the law can make things better. But often it is about simple things such as awareness and communication – individual actions will have a big impact.
We're hugely grateful to the organisations featured in this guide who have shared valuable practical insights on making care and support services relevant to lesbian, gay and bisexual people.
We hope this advice and guidance will help care providers to improve the services they offer to gay people and to deliver those services with the dignity and respect that all older people deserve.
This guide is split into the following sections:
Working with older lesbian, gay and bisexual people (PDF)
Working with older lesbian, gay and bisexual people: A Guide for Care and Support Services (DOC)
In 2011, Stonewall published Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual People in Later Life. In the first study of its kind in Britain, Stonewall commissioned YouGov to survey a sample of 1,050 heterosexual and 1,036 lesbian, gay and bisexual people over the age of 55 across Britain. The survey asked about their experiences and expectations of getting older and examined their personal support structures, family connections and living arrangements. It also asked about how they feel about getting older, the help they expect to need, and what they would like to be available from health and social care services.
This report provides a compelling evidence base for the first time about older lesbian, gay and bisexual people in this country. It also provides practical recommendations for a range of agencies about how to improve things. Read the full report Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual People in Later Life

Paper or plastic?
We've all heard it. But do you ever use those grocery bags again? A Duluth city councilor is exploring ways to cut down on one-time bag use.
City Councilor Emily Larson is doing that research with a group of community members and leaders called "Bag It! Duluth."
Larson tells Eyewitness News while many be used again, they often are not. And in some cases, it leads to a real mess. "Plastic bags often don't stay in the garbage...they blow out," she said.
Larson said they can end up clogging drains, filling culverts and damaging city infrastructure.
Shawna MullenEardley, a Bag It! Duluth member, said "I see plastic bags in trees everywhere and bags in the river everywhere."
"Part of what we want to do is show people that bag litter is a problem here in Duluth - in our own backyard. It isn't just something people deal with in California with the oceans. We have a problem right here," MullenEardley said.
During their research, Larson said they found 50 cities across the nation have some sort of ordinance in effect regarding bag use. "Bring a bag back you'll get five or ten cents off. Some cities have charged for bags. Others have banned bags all together."
At lease one of those bag-saving strategies is in effect in Duluth.
At the Whole Foods Co-op, Promotions and Education Manager Shannon Szymkowiak, said one of them has existed for longer than she's worked with the company, which is ten years. Bring a container for produce or bulk items and customers save three cents per container. "Our customers really appreciate the chance to use their own containers," she said.
A newer program, started in 2006, allows shoppers to save money by bringing in bags of their own. Szymkowiak called it "Reduce, Reuse, Redeem." She said customers get a punch in a card every time they bring in a bag for their groceries. Get 20 punches and customers save a dollar, or the money can be given to the Second Harvest Northern Lakes Food Bank, and it will be matched by the Co-op.
Since the RRR - or punch card - program started, Szymkowiak said the Co-op has saved about 350,00 bags. She said put down end-to-end they would stretch about 77 miles. "That is quite a cost savings...any way you cut it."
The Target store in Duluth also gives a discount of five cents per bag if customers bring their own, and Cub Foods has a bin placed in the entrance of the store where customers can recycle plastic bags.
There is no proposal in front of city councilors for consideration at this time. Larson said much more research needs to be done, and there needs to be more dialogue with the community before any changes are proposed.
On Thursday, January 31, a showing of a film called "Bag It - Is Your Life too Plastic?" will be showing at the Teatro Zuccone in Duluth. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. and the film begins at 6:00 p.m. The event is free, and Larson said a dialogue will follow.
According to Bag It! Duluth, the film is about the unintended consequences single-use bags can have on the environment and local infrastructure.

Maxwell G. Lay '64G: Taking Lehigh down under
Maxwell G. Lay '64G
Maxwell G. Lay '64G, has earned the right to add A.M. after his name. The abbreviation stands for a national honor system in his native Australia called the
Order of Australia
, which is a great honor in the land down under. Lay's citation for the award reads, "for service to engineering, particularly through leadership in the delivery of quality road infrastructure and the development of new contract management processes, and as an educator and historian."
Lay is a fourth generation Australian. He earned both his bachelor's and master's degrees from his hometown university in Melbourne. When asked what drew him to the United States and particularly to Lehigh for his Ph.D., Lay says, "At the time, Fritz Lab in the Department of Civil Engineering had a world-renowned research group working on new methods to design steel structures. It involved both theory and testing and was closely linked to the steel industry. I had read some of their published work and it seemed closely aligned to what I wanted to do. The only other similar research group in the world was at Cambridge, England, and I felt I had more to learn in the U.S.A."
It turned out he made the right decision, because Lay's career has thrived in part because of his years at Lehigh. "I had come from a background where I was a high IQ kid in a group where sporting prowess determined social status. But Fritz Lab was at the peak of its productivity, and there I was no longer an outsider but part of a community of scholars who could and did challenge me intellectually. Ideas were always bouncing around and the big task was to hang on to enough to record and use."
Professors at Lehigh also left a lasting impression on Lay's work. "I admired Lynn Beedle's organizational ability and the intellectual persistence of people like Alex Ostapenko. However, it was Ted Galambos who had the most incredible influence on me. Ted showed me, by example, how the toughest problems could be solved by combining intellectual rigor, careful experimentation, and a Hungarian belief in the supreme usefulness of mathematics. He was a model Ph.D. supervisor, and I was fortunate to be one of his students."
Outside the classroom, Lay took other experiences and memories of Lehigh with him. "One of the most wonderful things about Lehigh was the continual immersion in the music of Bach and Beethoven. I still remember the choirs and organ recitals, particularly in Packer Church next to Fritz Lab."
Linderman Library also brought out the historian in Lay. He recently published a book titled
Melbourne Miles
on the history of roads in his hometown. "I am currently helping to organize a major conference on assessing the heritage value of roads, particularly in the context of the World Heritage process run by the International Council on Monuments and Sites," he says.

Parallel CommentariesMatthew Henry's Concise Commentary
14:15-24 In this parable observe the free grace and mercy of God shining in the gospel of Christ, which will be food and a feast for the soul of a man that knows its own wants and miseries. All found some pretence to put off their attendance. This reproves the Jewish nation for their neglect of the offers of Christ's grace. It shows also the backwardness there is to close with the gospel call. The want of gratitude in those who slight gospel offers, and the contempt put upon the God of heaven thereby, justly provoke him. The apostles were to turn to the Gentiles, when the Jews refused the offer; and with them the church was filled. The provision made for precious souls in the gospel of Christ, has not been made in vain; for if some reject, others will thankfully accept the offer. The very poor and low in the world, shall be as welcome to Christ as the rich and great; and many times the gospel has the greatest success among those that labour under worldly disadvantages and bodily infirmities. Christ's house shall at last be filled; it will be so when the number of the elect is completed.
Pulpit Commentary
Verse 16. - Then said he unto him. The parable with which the great Teacher answered the guest's remark contains much and varied teaching for all ages of the Church, but in the first instance it replies to the speaker's words. "Yes," said the Master, "blessed indeed are they who sit down at the heavenly feast. You think you are one of those whom the King of heaven has invited to the banquet; what have you done, though, with the invitation? I know many who have received it who have simply tossed it aside; are you of that number? Listen now to my story of the Divine banquet and of the invited thereto." A certain man made a great supper, and bade many. The kingdom of heaven, under the imagery of a great Banquet, was a picture well known to the Jews of that age. The guests in the Pharisee's house for the greater part were probably highly cultured men. At once they would grasp the meaning of the parable. They knew that the supper was heaven, and the Giver of the feast was God. The many - these were Israel, the long line of generations of the chosen people. So far strictly true, they thought; the Galilaean Teacher here is one with the rabbis of our Jerusalem schools. But, as Jesus proceeded, a puzzled, angry look would come upon the self-satisfied faces of Pharisee, scribe, and doctor; whispers would run round, "What means the Galilaean here?"
Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible
Then said he unto him,.... That is, Jesus, as the Syriac, Persic, and Ethiopic versions express it; he said to the man that was so affected with the happiness of such that shall share in the provisions of the Messiah's kingdom;
a certain man made a great supper: by which is meant not the Lord's supper, which was not as yet instituted; nor the supper of the Lamb, which will be at the end of the world; but the Gospel dispensation, which was now taking place, and the provisions of it in the word and ordinances: and which is called a "supper"; because made in the end of the world, in the last days: and a "great" one, because of the maker of it, the King of kings, and Lord of lords; and the matter of it, a variety of rich provisions, a feast of fat things, an entertainment consisting of the greatest dainties, and most delightful food; and on account of the number of the guests invited, all people, every creature, to whom the outward ministration of the Gospel comes; and those who are properly guests that come, are a great number which no man can number; as well as because of the cost and charges of it to the maker, though it is all free to the guests; and likewise because of the circumstances of exceeding great joy and pleasure that attend it; to which may be added, the long duration of it, even from the first to the second coming of Christ.
And bade many. This first bidding more especially respects the Jews, who are said to be "many", in reference to the promise made to Abraham, that his seed should be as the stars of the heavens, and as the sand of the sea; and to set off the magnificence of the feast; and in distinction from all the world, and every creature, which were afterwards put into the Gospel commission: a foundation was laid for this supper in eternity, in the purposes, counsel, and covenant of God; and many prophecies concerning it were given out from the beginning; and sacrifices and ordinances were instituted, as emblematical of it, and to lead on to it, and give notice of it.
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary
