LOWVILLE Lewis Countys jail garden has grown to about double its initial size from last year.
We went bigger, said Sheriff Michael P. Carpinelli. And we did a much bigger variety this time.
Along with staples like carrots, tomatoes, peppers, lettuce and squash, this years garden planted within a fenced-off area behind the county Public Safety Building off outer Stowe Street also includes potatoes, cabbage, cauliflower, pumpkins and even Swiss chard, all of which are fed to inmates at the county jail.
Were feeding them Swiss chard, and they seem to like it, Sheriff Carpinelli said.
The garden is again being tended by a rotation of four trusted inmates, but a pair of corrections officers, rather than the sheriff, now are overseeing the program and supervising the workers.
Theyre doing a great job with it, Sheriff Carpinelli said.
While most of the garden has again been planted along a fence on the west end of the jail yard, pumpkins have been added in the middle of the yard, with old tires placed around the plants to keep them warmer at night.
Thats what one of the farmers told me, and its been working, said the second-year sheriff, who established the plot in June 2012 after hearing that the jail had a garden in the past.
Nearly all the plants and seeds for the garden were donated by Deborah Earl from Blossoms N Blooms Etc. in Constableville, he said.
Fresh produce from the garden has again been served in the jail cafeteria throughout the summer, and the excess is donated to the Lowville Food Pantry, Sheriff Carpinelli said.
About 150 pounds of tomatoes and other vegetables were donated to the pantry from last years harvest.
Aside from the health and budgetary benefits, the program also is valuable for the trusties, who must already be sentenced to serve as a volunteer gardener, the sheriff said.
Its a great program just for their mental well-being and their self-esteem, he said. I think if you work for what you have to eat, you appreciate it more.
Jail trusties also handle mowing duties in the yard and in front of the Public Safety Building, and Sheriff Carpinelli said that he would like to eventually expand the work program to include picking up trash along selected roads and even at the Lewis County Fairgrounds, so long as enough supervisory manpower is available.

Submission Gerry Anderson, co-creator of Thunderbirds, passes away-> 2
Link to Original Source
During the 1960s and 70s, distribution of the Anderson shows was common throughout the UK and British Commonwealth countries but unfortunately less so in the U.S.A., sad to say. Today American kids of all ages can see for themselves what all the joy was all about back then. I for one used to run home from school to catch the late afternoon showing of the newest Fireball XL-5 episode on one of the local Canadian TV stations. Stingray was mind-blowing (buildings that lowered underground!) and when Thunderbirds came out (in colour!) I was ecstatic. According to various obituaries in today's British newspapers those Anderson shows have been rerun many times on UK TV and continue to pull in large audiences of all ages. To Gerry, where ever you have gone, a hearty "F-A-B!"

Daemen College : About Daemen : Policies & Procedures
Recognizing the necessity of diversity for the sake of learning, we envision a campus community that demands respect for diversity and a campus climate that fosters an understanding of diversity grounded in the College's fundamental commitment to human dignity.
The goals, objectives, and strategies found in this five year plan have been developed to further this vision for diversity at Daemen College. The Strategic Plan of 2006 calls for the development of a diversity plan to articulate and strengthen the College's commitment to diversity (SP p. 16). There are four main sections of this diversity plan: (I) Curriculum; (II) Student Development; (III) Faculty, Administrative Staff, and Board Development; and (IV) Campus Climate and Environment. It should be understood that these categories are interrelated and interdependent. Goals indicate the broad scope of initiatives and desired outcomes; they are not necessarily measurable. Objectives are specific, measurable outcomes that will indicate whether we are making progress toward achieving our goals. Strategies are specific ways in which we seek to attain our goals and objectives.
Accountability is defined primarily at the level of objectives, identifying who is responsible for seeing that objectives are met within the specified time periods. Accountability is designated relatively high in the organizational structure of the College in order to facilitate knowledgeable oversight of multiple initiatives, purposeful delegation, and inter-departmental collaboration. To that end, except where specifically noted, this Diversity Plan does not specify or request a separate "diversity" budget. Our commitment to diversity is to inform all aspects of our respective operations; the resources needed to carry out the initiatives specifically indicated here shall therefore be determined in the ordinary course of business and included in the annual budget request process. The President and his Cabinet are accountable for the oversight of this plan and the fulfillment of its goals and objectives. This plan was developed by an ad hoc and volunteer Diversity Plan Committee, called by Kathleen Boone, Associate Dean of the College and EO/AA Officer, who was tasked by the Cabinet with leading this initiative.
To enhance and enrich learning, the Daemen College curriculum and its manner of delivery, both within the Core Curriculum and within all degree programs, will fulfill the College's stated mission to prepare graduates who are comfortable with diversity, who recognize the importance of a global perspective, and who respect the human dignity of all people.
By Fall 2009, complete a comprehensive assessment of the extent to which the Daemen College curriculum exposes every student to the diversity necessary for fulfilling our institutional mission; an action plan to address deficiencies will be implemented by Fall 2011, with indicated objectives to be attained by Spring 2013.
Vice President for Academic Affairs and Educational Policy Committee (EPC)
From a Spring 2007 baseline of 51% of seniors at Daemen and 52% at peer institutions reporting in the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) that their "experience at this institution has contributed to understanding people of other racial and ethnic backgrounds" either "quite a bit" or "very much," Daemen percentages will continue at least to match the mean of peer institutions and aim to exceed the Spring 2007 baseline by a minimum of 10 points (i.e., 61% reporting "quite a bit" or "very much") in Spring 2012. Accountable: Vice President for Academic Affairs 3 and Educational Policy Committee (EPC)
*Note: Here and elsewhere, use of NSSE data is consistent with the Strategic Plan goal of improving the College's NSSE results (SP p. 10). For the purposes of this plan, "peer institutions" are private institutions in the mid-east region of the mainland U.S., plus four CIEL schools, totaling 63 institutions.
By Spring 2010, a representative sample of student Core Curriculum e-portfolios will be analyzed for evidence of skills and competencies relating to diversity; areas for attention will be identified, with this assessment provided to all parties conducting diversity-related curricular review. Accountable: Vice President for Academic Affairs and Committee for Interdisciplinary Studies (CIS)
To enhance the global perspective of our learning environment, Daemen College will increase access to international education opportunities for faculty and students, as specified in the Strategic Plan (SP p. 9):
The College will increase its enrollment of students under represented at Daemen relative to the average student demographic at peer institutions and the College will increase the persistence to graduation of students of diverse backgrounds, thereby increasing experiences of cultural diversity, related learning, and personal development for all Daemen College students. (This goal is consistent with the Strategic Plan goal for improvement of student centeredness.
By Spring 2013, the College's enrollment of currently under represented students, both in the College as a whole and within specific academic programs, will seek to match or exceed that of peer institutions and programs. (This objective coheres with the Strategic Plan's recruitment goal and related objectives (SP p. 15), while emphasizing recruitment of under represented students.) Accountable: Vice President for Enrollment Management Vice President for Academic Affairs
Specifically identify categories of students under represented at Daemen and continue developing targeted recruitment strategies for such students.
Within the context of the College's Strategic Plan objective of attaining retention and graduation rates of 80% and 65%, respectively, by 2011 (SP p. 15), the College will also specifically identify and target categories of students whose persistence rates are lower than our institutional average, implementing supplemental action plans to improve their persistence. These efforts will be reviewed in 2011, with continued action implemented as required to address any continuing gaps in persistence, targeting parity by 2013. Accountable: Vice President for Academic Affairs Vice President for Student Affairs Strategy: Pursue Title III funding to increase rates of student retention and progression to graduation by identifying, tracking and providing interventions for students at risk of attrition.
Daemen College will engage in a targeted recruitment and retention program to achieve cultural diversity within the Resident Assistant staff that reflects that of the resident student population by Fall 2010. Accountable: Vice President for Student Affairs
Daemen College will engage in a targeted recruitment and retention program to achieve cultural diversity within all student leadership positions, including but not limited to orientation leaders, peer mentors, admissions tour guides, and alumni ambassadors, targeted to reflect the diversity of the Daemen College student population by Spring 2012. Accountable: Vice President for Student Affairs
In Spring 2007, the percentage of Daemen seniors reporting in the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) that they "often" or "very often" had "serious conversations with students of a different race or ethnicity than your own" and "serious conversations with students who are very different in terms of their religious beliefs, political opinions or personal values" was 42% and 46%, respectively, ten points below the mean of peer institutions in each case (52% and 56%, respectively, at peer institutions). By Spring 2010, the College will reduce this lag by five points and eliminate it by Spring 2012. Although it is impossible to predict the mean of peer institutions five years hence, it seems safe to assume that similar initiatives at peer institutions will yield similar increases in diversity of student experience. Setting a specific target of 70% for Daemen seniors answering "often" or "very often" to both questions would seem a helpful guide to meeting or exceeding the experience of students at our peer institutions. Accountable: Vice President for Student Affairs.
The College will recruit and retain a diverse faculty, administrative staff, and board and will encourage all employees and trustees to contribute to and support the cultural fluency and diversity of the campus. (This goal tracks the Strategic Plan recommendation to address faculty diversity (SP p. 16).)
The College will purposefully seek to recruit and retain a diversity of Board members, with the composition of the Board of Trustees reflecting the diversity of Daemen's student body by Fall 2013. Accountable: Chair, Board of Trustees President.
By Fall 2013, the percentage of minority faculty and administrative staff will match or exceed the mean percentage of peer institutions as reported by the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS). Accountable: Vice President of Academic Affairs EO/AA Officer (Associate Dean of the College) Personnel Director.
The College will foster an environment in which faculty and staff are increasingly culturally proficient, including communication and other interpersonal skills:
Accountable: All Cabinet members Faculty Senate Personnel Director
The College will promote and sustain an environment of dignity and access for all people, with particular attention to potentially marginalized groups, and will conduct regular, purposeful, and holistic assessments to ensure that campus resources are strategically deployed to reflect the College's commitment to diversity.
By Fall 2008, a standing committee of the College, representing students, faculty, and staff, shall be constituted and provided with an initial annual budget of $1,000 to perform two primary functions: (i) provide cross institutional diversity-related programming; (ii) monitor and report annually to the President on progress in achieving plan goals, with the President informing the campus community of diversity plan progress each year in his State of the College address; and (iii) recommend modifications to this plan in light of ongoing assessment of the plan's effectiveness.
By Spring 2009, the committee will conduct a campus climate survey baseline assessment, with reassessment in Spring 2012 to identify improvements and continuing challenges. By Spring 2013, the committee will complete a summary report of goals and objectives achieved under this plan, including recommendations for the future. Accountable: Chair, Diversity Committee All cabinet members.
Following completion of all current construction and office moves (2009), engage consultant(s) to evaluate the College's landscaping, architecture and other aspects of physical plant to assess the College's provision of an inclusive, accessible and safe environment for people with disabilities: immediately correct and document any identified safety concerns 9 and develop an action plan to address any other areas of concern, reporting by Fall 2012 on actions taken. Accountable: Vice President for Business Affairs.
By Spring 2009, survey students with learning, mental health and other disabilities for their recommendations on improving access and inclusion: develop an action plan and address areas of concern by Fall 2012. Accountable: EO/AA Officer (Associate Dean of the College).

Bethany Christian School student Austin Van Kirk is being recognized this morning with a life-saving award from his school, according to Local 6's news partner Florida Today.
The high school senior sprang to action earlier this week after he saw an elementary school student fall to the ground.
Recognizing it might be a seizure, Austin turned the boy on his side and, getting down on the ground, asked him questions and spoke to him to keep him calm, Principal Sue Schwanda said.
Austin had received training as part of the Brevard County Sheriff's Office Explorers, a group that learns about law enforcement and volunteers in the community, she said.
A teacher used her cell phone to called 9-1-1. Meanwhile, Austin explained to the boy that firefighters would be responding and not to be scared.
After accompanying him to the ambulance, Austin told his classmates — who has seen him fall — that he would be OK.
"This young man has been in our school since preschool," Schwanda said of Van Kirk.
"He has grown into this leader. He's just become an incredible young man."

Hunter presents a way to meet your deep watering needs that offers considerably more efficiency than drip irrigation. With the ability to compensate for pressure differences; the Hunter PCB (and the PCN; which attaches directly to pop-up spray bodies) allows the output of water to remain constant regardless of the input pressure; resulting in a precise application never before achieved in bubblers. Now; every plant; shrub or tree can receive the same amount of water required with no excess runoff or waste. Best of all; because it's so simple to install; you'll have the perfect alternative to drip; no fancy filtration; no unsightly above-ground tubes; and considerably less chance of damage. For a more attractive; more efficient way to deep water; let the idea of Hunter's PCB and PCN sink in.
Our line-up of four different PCB models means that you can select precisely the one that you need to meet each of your individual plant's watering requirements. Choose from color-coded flow rates of either .25; .50; 1.0 or 2.0 gallons per minute to eliminate guesswork and guarantee that all your greenery gets exactly the water it needs. Or choose the AFB model which pressure compensates to a 2.0 GPM flow and can be fine-tuned with a stainless steel screw adjustment.
We've taken the technology behind the PCB and gone one step beyond. With the pressure compensating nozzle (PCN); there is now a solution for deep watering needs that is specifically designed for the SRS; Pro-Spray; or Institutional Spray. That means you get all the advantages over traditional drip irrigation plus a product that sits atop a riser that retracts into the ground when not in use. It's the most tamper-proof; eye-appealing method of deep watering available today (attention specifiers: you're going to like this).

The LV-7380 was built with a variety of features and functionality that it easy to install, use and maintain.
Direct Power-OnThe LV-7380 has 2 modes for directly powering the unit:
AC ModeUseful for ceiling installed projectors, this feature will automatically turn on the projector when the power cord is plugged into an outlet- eliminating the need to press the power switch on the unit. A practical function when the projector is not directly accessible.
Computer Synch ModeThis smart feature will automatically turn on the projector when a computer is connected and an input signal is detected. The projector will automatically synchronize with your computers screen's pixel configuration.
Digital Image ShiftThese projectors allow you to display widescreen content through high-quality compression. As a result, when widescreen content is displayed, pixels above and below the image are not used. The projectors Digital Image Shift conveniently allows you to move the projected image up or down on the screen into these unused pixels without any further compression. This ability to "fine tune" the placement of the projected image can be useful when projecting onto a fixed screen, or when stacking projectors for increased brightness.
Easy Access LampAn opening for replacing the lamp has been installed on the top of the projectors. Even if a projector is installed on the ceiling, the projectors lamp can be replaced without having to move the projector. In addition, a replacement counter will display a message indicating the time when lamps and filters need replacing.
New Filter DesignThe newly designed air-filter has the ability to significantly improve dust filtration over that of previous models. Textiles in an "accordion" construction have three times the filtering surface for a three-fold increase in dust filtration. A newly improved filter cover design further protects the internal optics of the projector by preventing intrusive dust and dirt from filling the inlet gaps.

Eighty-seven years ago this month, two explosions tore through the Number Two Mine at Castle Gate in Carbon County killing all 171 workers in the mine. One rescue worker also died after breathing in carbon monoxide fumes while trying to find survivors.
According to later reports, a miner's open-flame headlamp caused the explosions by igniting either coal dust or methane gas.
Historian Nancy Taniguchi said the 1924 Castle Gate disaster had a tremendous impact on the communities of Carbon County. The county's mining work force had always been an ethnic and national fusion. Greeks, Japanese, Italians, South Slavs, English, Belgians, Scots, and Americans-both black and white-died side by side in the tragedy. But nationality and ethnicity seemed to matter very little in the aftermath of the disaster. The loss of life was mourned by the entire county, as people from Helper, Price, Spring Glen and Kenilworth closed businesses, churches, and other public meeting places in honor of the dead.
In the weeks that followed the tragedy they and other Utahns also opened their pocketbooks, eventually collecting and distributing, through one of the state's first social workers, more than $100,000 to the families left destitute by the catastrophe.

easyJet, Northern Ireland's largest airline, is to increase its flights between Belfast International Airport and London Gatwick in response to high demand.
A 10.15 flight from Belfast and a 12.05 flight from London Gatwick will be added to the schedule from 20 December. Flights are now on sale at www.easyJet.com with fares from £20.99, one way including taxes.
easyJet began its Belfast International to London Gatwick service in February 2003 and has flown 3.3million passengers on the route. The additional frequency will add an estimated 80,000 passengers per year, taking the total to 400,000.
easyJet also flies to London Luton, London Stansted and London Southend from Belfast International and recently celebrated hitting the milestone of 20,000 passengers flying on its London routes each week.
Ali Gayward, easyJet commercial manager said: "London Gatwick is performing really well for us. We operate the first flight out of Belfast in the morning and the last flight home.
"Our aim has always been to make travel easy and affordable and we're delighted to be able to show further commitment to Northern Ireland by adding the extra service.
"We now operate flights to 4 London airports, offering our passengers the best access to London from Belfast. Also, our one-way fares mean that you can fly to one London airport and return from another – which gives you further choice in flight times, price and location.
"We launched our Belfast International to London Southend operation in April and the speed of this route including: getting off the aircraft, exiting the terminal, a 2-minute walk to the train station and a direct service to London Liverpool Street in under 55 minutes – is proving a huge success with our business passengers. Already 50,000 passengers have flown to this London airport with us."
Earlier this month easyJet announced plans to introduce allocated seating on all Belfast flights from 27 November. This, and Flexi fares that allow passengers to change their flights up to two hours before departure, further reinforces easyJet's position as Belfast's leading airline for business passengers.

How we today remember the world's most notorious capsize is indeed interesting.
The last known survivor of the RMS Titanic, Millvina Dean, passed away yesterday, Monday June 1st 2009, at the age of 97. Dean was only an infant when the steamship on its maiden voyage from Southampton to New York hit an iceberg and sunk April 14th, 1912. And 97 years later, Dean's passing reminds us yet again of the epic disaster that was the Titanic. Here are 10 quite uncommon and slightly offensive remnant artifacts in the memory of the Titanic.
1. Titanic Adventure Slide
Official product description: "Measuring 33 feet in height and 50 feet in length, this awesome slide captures the feeling of the real giant. Adding to the realism of this ride are the famed triple screw propellers and rudder. One could almost believe the ship is sinking! Who will survive the slide down? This dual slide captures all the excitement of the famed ocean liner on itÕs maiden voyage". See PartyUSA.com
2. Titanic Skull Money Box
The desire of every six year old kid: a money box in the shape of a skull from a former Titanic sailor? Fitting on any night stand and perfectly politically correct. Hear your coin fall into the hollow cranium of a Titanic crew member. Yes, it was nearly 100 years ago but the question remains how far a joke/cashin should be taken when it's on the account of such a tradegy like Titanic.
…or maybe just a statue of two skeletons romantically posing on the steamship Titanic (Buy it at Amazon.com:
3. High Definition screening of Titanic – In A Swimming Pool
Alex Zane – host of Sky Movies' Guest List: "The idea of watching Titanic in totally immersive high definition, in a life jacket, floating in a life boat is about as close to the experience of being on the ship itself as you could or probably would ever want to get. An amazing experience with some real movie fans." See 24-7pressrelease.com
4. Titanic Cow by artist Lithium
Located at Plaza de Felipe II, Madrid, Spain the artwork of artist Lithium; Titanic Cow is a part of the exhibition The Cowparade. Though the pupose of the expo seems to be to chock and provoke, maybe Lithium took the task a little bit too serious. The cow, painted as the Titanic is stuck with her head in an inceberg. Funny, but still not totally ok.
5. Miniature Model of The Titanic Sinking
There seems to be some sort of amusement park in Obereschach, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany consisting of miniature models of historically famous objects, including Alcatraz, Niagara Falls, Khafre's pyramid and of course the Titanic, in its popular standup sinking position. Sure, the Titanic was a famous catastrophy, but surely too tragic to expose like this. Or?
6. Titanic Aquarium Decoration
Product description: "Precisely detailed to look just like the Titanic". A bit tasteless to have a miniature model of the Titanic floating around in your aquarium? The matter of the fact is The Titanic is a popular aquarium ornament, sold by many resellers, who seem proud to cash in on the tragedy. Classy!
7.Titanic Ice Cubes
Fred and Friends (sold through Amazon.com) has developed the non-tacky product Gin and Titonic ice cubes. Perfect for any happy occassion to spice up the drink presentation. The Titanic shaped ice cubes will effectfully recreate the night when Titanic sank, all in your glass of Gin and Tonic. Though proven not so successful for the ship itself, the Gin and Titanic ice cubes are also great icebreakers.
8. Titanic Song – Movie Theme by Kenny G
The elevator music guy got to make the theme instrumental for the movie Titanic. And though the music isn't in itself that bad, Celine Dion can sing after all, there is something about the that Kenny G that almost feels mocking. Maybe it's the curly hair, the sleezy romantic look he puts on, or the fact that he chose to dedicate his life to clarinet. Kenny G bugs me and that is why it is not totally ok to put him to create tunes that we until the end of times will associate with The Titanic. Not cool!
9. Windows XP Titanic
This desktop wallpaper, isn't as much indecent as it is funny and and entirely accurate. I simply could not help but include this illustration of Windows XP as sure of sinking as the Titanic. Though this example referred to the Titanic disaster, it is infact the only good example that can illustrate the lost cause that XP actually is.
10. Kärschers Immerson Pumps Ad
Finshing off this top 10 list of how modern times remember and honors the Titanic disaster, I have included water pump company Kärschers', neadless to say, interesting advertisement. It's clever and smart, and the only provocative aspect is that the ad bases on the fact that everybody knows about The Titanic. Despite that, this ad effectfully concludes this list, as an perfect example of how Titanic is still very much with us almost 100 years later.
If you have any comments, thoughts or more examples of doubtful alludes to The Titanic, make sure to comment below.
This toplist is dedicated to Millvina Dean, who passed away yesterday, the last known survivor of the Titanic capsize on April 14th, 1912.

They told me to report to the armory Monday and I would be taken to some Fort, and then the next day go to another Fort, and then would ship Wednesday to Ft. Leonard Wood for MP OSUT training. I'm worried about weighing in. I can make weight like, if I don't eat anything the whole day before, but I'm normally about 2 pounds over my limit, and my weight fluctuates a lot. When will I do my official weight to know that I'm shipping? Do they just do it at MEPS right before you go or will it matter at reception too? I'm not sure if I can pass a tape test. They told me I passed weight at RSP drill but from the chart I saw, I really didn't. I can pass the PT test no problem.

Re: shipping soon
Yeah, really dont worry about it. I'm heading to the same place in september and was right at the borderline for the maximum acceptable weight. what I did at MEPS was have very minimal to eat and just enough water so i'd be able to take a urinalisys (don't starve yourself entirely tho). By doing that and making my hotel shower room into a sauna, I was able to loose 3 pounds without a problem. Since that little extravaganza at MEPS this past week, I've lost a whopping 7 pounds now by eating right and keeping myself super-hydrated! Just don't panic about it and you'll be fine :] good luck!

I'm thinking I just have unpopular opinions, and that's why the posts I find interest in are from people who end up bullied off Tumblr.
Maybe I just need to back away from social justice kinda stuff when I'm on a site just to look at cute lil anime gifs and fanart and I'll be less stressed.
It wouldn't be so bothersome except this happened within a week with two different posts I really liked.
Toss in some paranoia, stir it up and you've got yourself a dish of anxiety!
I'm officially taking the internet too seriously and just need to stay away from certain sites for a while. ;_;
I was about to ask how you guys stay so calm when interacting with others on the internet, but then again most of you probably aren't piles of worry like I tend to be.
Welcome to the internet... Where nothing is taken seriously and when it is you become just little bit more stupid...
P.S: a game with a lot of players is like maplestory is the same as in real life a lot of people around and not everyone likes or is kind to you... With time you learn to adapt... Damn i miss internet caffe days where we actualy used to take it outside if you told me some rude shit and you couldnt stand for those words... How can i take you serious... Met to many people and mostly kids act big and shit but when on team speak you heard them no more... And well cod community... Its just filled with pices of trash of all ages...

We live in a society that doesn't accept unpopular opinions. But then again, I can see why. Humans are social creatures and like to fit in. Sharing an opinion with other people makes them feel like them belong.
"Sheeps only. No other animals allowed."
Didn't OnRPG used to have a flame section, where you could openly insult each other and be as awful as you wanted? We should bring that back.
I'm kidding, mostly.
I've never turned away from any community of nasty people or death threats. Actually, I just turn super-troll and stay longer because it pisses them off. I start posting more and more of the type of things that I get death threats & nasty comments for and have a good laugh at the PM's or messages that I get.
# ᴛ ʜ ᴇ ʏ ᴄ ᴀ ʟ ʟ ᴍ ᴇ ᴛ ʜ ᴇ s ᴏ ʀ ᴄ ᴇ ʀ ᴇ ʀ s ᴜ ᴘ ʀ ᴇ ᴍ ᴇ ʙ ᴇ ᴄ ᴀ ᴜ s ᴇ ɪ ' ᴍ s ᴏ s ᴛ ʀ ᴀ ɴ ɢ ᴇ.
Think it's a person by person type of deal. I can't say I've ever been super offended over anything over the internet myself but have I gotten pissed off at games or at others playing games? Sure that happens plenty of times but I get over it fairly quickly but nine times out of ten I just blow it off fairly quickly or just find something else to calm me down. And if we're talking about Tumblr, eh, it's a questionable place at times, specially since it's like atleast 70% porn blogs. Then again I've cut the amount of people I follow down to strictly friends or people I know well from other sites, thats just me though.

AA: Harrisburg Senators 3, @ Binghamton Mets 2
Back in double-A after one start in triple-A for the Bisons, RHP Gonzalez Germen (4.43 ERA) put up a very Germen-ish line: 7 IP, 6 H, 3 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 7 K.
No B-Met had more than one hit. Little SS Wilfredo Tovar was 1-for-4 with a double, his eighth in AA, but overall is hitting just .237/.282/.325.
The AAA Bisons were off, but hey, Zack Wheeler is heading to AAA and will make his first start on Sunday.

Bulk Operation "Edit Share" explained
Back in Secret Server 3.0, we added bulk operations to make it easier to deal with lots of secrets. Typical example – I need to add our network administrators to these 100 passwords with View permission. This can be easily accomplished using the "Add Share" option at the bottom of the search grid on the home page.
What happens if I accidentally added the wrong network administrators group and now I need to remove their View permission from the 100 secrets. This is where "Edit Share" comes in.
I recorded a short movie that shows removing "Edit" and "Share" permissions for one group (Administrators) from two secrets.
Add Share – use this to safely add new permissions for View, Edit or Share for a group or user. It will not affect their existing permissions. So if a user has View, Edit and you just Add Share 'View' then they will still have View and Edit.
Edit Share – use this option to replace permissions for certain users or groups. There is currently a bug that prevents you from removing all permissions for a user or group but that will be fixed in the next release.
NOTE: The Edit Share does not show existing permissions on your selected secrets. We have struggled with how to make such a user interface make sense since some of your secrets will have some permissions and some won't. It seems difficult to know how to present this in a way that isn't confusing. If you have any ideas – please post them to the forums.

Dancing with Spirits, by Denny Sargent
By Mike Gleason | 1 comment
Dancing with Spirits: The Festivals and Folklore of Japan, by Denny Sargent Megalithica Press, 9781905713523, 120 pp., 2010The religions of Japan are among the least understood by members of Western society. This happens for a number of reasons, most prominently because they are so much an organic part of the culture that even many Japanese don't give them much thought. In fact, one often hears Japanese say that they are not religious, even as they are participating in some festival, or entering/leaving a shrine. The religions are simply a part of daily life, and thus not considered a separate religious aspect.Generally, religion in Japan breaks down into one of two major types – Shinto or Buddhism – but that is as simplistic as saying religion in the West is either Christian or non-Christian; true to an an extent, but failing to capture the shear breadth of the religious experience. Each of the two groups has unique observances, yet commonalities exist. Read More

- State Police Need Your Help: Do You Know These People?
Only minutes after a jury was expected to be seated, a settlement has been reached in a lawsuit against the Kraft Group.
The lawsuit pertained to a fatal drunken driving accident on Route 1 on the day of the 2008 New England Country Music Festival. The crash took the lives of two women, a 20-year-old and a 19-year-old.
The Davis family, who lost their daughter in the crash, claimed the Kraft Group allowed the underaged drinking to take place in the parking lot. While the two victims did not have tickets to the show, they were reportedly tailgating prior to the 2008 Country Music Festival.
The Kraft Group argued that they were not responsible because they did not supply the two women with alcohol.
"We are glad that it's come to a close. I'm sorry that it took so long. It's been five long years. But hopefully, there is a positive message out there to other parents. You know, to check for tickets. And to realize, you know, that whole scenario and keep your kids safe," said Maryann Davis, mother of victim told WHDH.
The terms of the settlement were not disclosed and the attorneys left the courthouse with no comment

This greater sense of detail and faithful rendering of moving edges, plus enhanced color and fine tonal gradation, gives your video everything Full HD high image quality has to offer. 1080/60p recording means that the still images you extract are extremely high quality as well.

8 U.S. Code § 1601 - Statements of national policy concerning welfare and immigration
prev | next
The Congress makes the following statements concerning national policy with respect to welfare and immigration:
(1) Self-sufficiency has been a basic principle of United States immigration law since this country's earliest immigration statutes.
(2) It continues to be the immigration policy of the United States that—
(A) aliens within the Nation's borders not depend on public resources to meet their needs, but rather rely on their own capabilities and the resources of their families, their sponsors, and private organizations, and
(3) Despite the principle of self-sufficiency, aliens have been applying for and receiving public benefits from Federal, State, and local governments at increasing rates.
(4) Current eligibility rules for public assistance and unenforceable financial support agreements have proved wholly incapable of assuring that individual aliens not burden the public benefits system.
(5) It is a compelling government interest to enact new rules for eligibility and sponsorship agreements in order to assure that aliens be self-reliant in accordance with national immigration policy.
(6) It is a compelling government interest to remove the incentive for illegal immigration provided by the availability of public benefits.
(7) With respect to the State authority to make determinations concerning the eligibility of qualified aliens for public benefits in this chapter, a State that chooses to follow the Federal classification in determining the eligibility of such aliens for public assistance shall be considered to have chosen the least restrictive means available for achieving the compelling governmental interest of assuring that aliens be self-reliant in accordance with national immigration policy.

Latvia borders Estonia in the north, Lithuania in the south, the Baltic Sea with the Gulf of Riga in the west, Russia in the east, and Belarus in the southeast. Latvia is largely a fertile lowland with numerous lakes and hills to the east.
Parliamentary democracy.
Baltic tribespeople settled along the Baltic Sea and, lacking a centralized government, fell prey to more powerful peoples. In the 13th century, they were overcome by the Livonian Brothers of the Sword, a German order of knights whose mission was to conquer and Christianize the Baltic region. The land became part of the state of Livonia until 1561. Germans composed the ruling class of Livonia and Baltic tribes made up the peasantry. German was the official language of the region.
Poland conquered the territory in 1562 and occupied it until Sweden took over the land in 1629, ruling until 1721. The land then passed to Russia. From 1721 until 1918, the Latvians remained Russian subjects, although they preserved their language, customs, and folklore.
The Russian Revolution of 1917 gave Latvia the opportunity for freedom, and the Latvian republic was proclaimed on Nov. 18, 1918. The republic lasted little more than 20 years. Plagued by political instability, Latvia essentially became a dictatorship under President Karlis Ulmanis. The country was occupied by Russian troops in 1939 and incorporated into the Soviet Union in 1940. German armies occupied the nation from 1941 to 1944. Of the 70,000 Jews living in Latvia during World War II, 95% were massacred. In 1944, Russia again took control.
Latvia Declares Independence and Seeks to Protect Its Ethnic Identity
Latvia was one of the most economically well-off and industrialized parts of the Soviet Union. When a coup against Soviet president Mikhail Gorbachev failed in 1991, the Baltic nations saw an opportunity to free themselves from Soviet domination and, following the actions of Lithuania and Estonia, Latvia declared its independence on Aug. 21, 1991. Most other nations quickly recognized their independence, and on Sept. 2, 1991, President Bush announced full diplomatic recognition for Latvia, Estonia, and Lithuania. The Soviet Union recognized Latvia's independence on Sept. 6, and UN membership followed on Sept. 17, 1991.
Because Latvians' ethnic identity had been quashed by foreign rulers throughout its history, the new Latvian republic set up strict citizenship laws, limiting citizenship to ethnic Latvians and to those who had lived in the region before Soviet rule in 1940. This denied about 452,000 of the country's 740,000 ethnic Russians of citizenship. But in 1998, a referendum passed easing the citizenship rules.
In June 2003, President Vike-Freiberga easily won reelection. In Dec. 2004, Aigars Kalvitis became prime minister, forming the twelfth government since Latvia's independence from Russia. The nation became a member of both the EU and NATO in 2004.Valdis Zatlers, a medical doctor, was elected president by Parliament in May 2007, defeating former constitutional court judge Aivars Endzins.
Political Unrest Grows as the Economy Falters
Prime Minister Kalvitis resigned in Dec. 2007, following a series of widespread protests over his attempts to fire anti corruption investigator Aleksejs Loskutovs.
A series of riots sparked by political grievances and a worsening economy broke out in the capital, Riga, during Jan. 2009. Dozens were injured and more than 100 people were arrested in the violence.
Prime Minister Ivars Godmanis resigned in Feb. 2009, when the Latvian economy began to shrink at an alarming rate, a result of the global financial crisis. His government had become unpopular in 2008, when it was forced to increase taxes and cut public spending after the country's banking system collapsed. Valdis Dombrovskis of the center-right New Era party took over as prime minister in March, leading a six-party coalition government.
Latvia sunk deeper into a financial morass in 2009, with soaring unemployment that reached 22.3% in November—the highest rate in the EU—and heavy debt that prompted the government to implement steep budget cuts and turn to the IMF and the EU for a bailout. Dombrovskis lost his majority in parliament in March 2010 when his largest coalition partner bolted from the government in protest of the austerity measures. He resumed a majority after his coalition won 58.6% of the vote in October 2010 elections. His Unity party took 33 out of 100 seats, and his coalition partner, the Greens and Farmers Union, earned 22 seats.
Dombrovskis Resigns after Supermarket Collapse
Prime Minister Valdis Dombrovskis resigned on November 27, 2013, days after the roof of a supermarket collapsed in Riga, killing 54 people and wounding dozens. It was the worst disaster in Latvia since the ship Mayakovsky sank in Riga in 1950. State building inspections had been abolished due to budget cuts under the Dombrovskis administration.
In January 2014, President Andris Berzins designated Laimdota Straujuma prime minister. Straujuma had previously served as the minister for agriculture and the secretary of state of the Ministry for Regional Development and Local Government. She became the first woman to serve as prime minister in Latvia.
After the 2014 Parliamentary Election, President Berzins nominated Straujuma to head the new government even after Straujuma's party, the Unity Party, came in second. A center-left party, Harmony, came in first, taking 24 out of 100 seats, one ahead of the Unity party. On Nov. 5, 2014, Saeima, Latvia's parliament approved Straujuma's nomination to continue on as prime minister in the new government by a 61-39 vote.
Minister of Defense Raimonds Vejonis was elected president on June 3, 2015. A member of the Green Party, Vejonis vowed to protect the environment and increase national security during his acceptance speech. Vejonis took office the following month on July 8.
