Skip the nasty combination of dill and mint. Freshly grated nutmeg is the ususal spice in spinach pie and tastes much better. I have to use frozen Athenos Filo (phyllo) sheets and frozen spinach. Fresh is too costly, except in the summer. I also don't drain all the vitamins down the sink, but add the liquid to tomato juice or put it in the Scotty's dinner. I skip the eggs, too. This filling is also good in phyllo triangles, which make good appetizers. I live alone, so I make smaller pies and partially bake them before putting the extras in the freezer. This works with the triangles, too.flag if inappropriate
I used 3 leeks in the recipe and I felt it was more than enough. The mint and dill were a little too overpowering for my tastebuds. Also- could of been my feta cheese- it tasted too salty in the end.flag if inappropriate
I used a combination of fresh spinach and frozen chopped spinach, but mostly fresh. 3 leeks. Puff pastry. I have to say, rolling the pastry out was tough, but it did make a yummy crust. I didn't have a full two cups of feta and I think I missed the saltiness of it in the end. I found the herbs a bit overpowering.flag if inappropriate
I really liked this one. I usually make appetizer-sized Spanakopita (flag-folded in Phyllo), and I may replace my usual filling with this one. The mint is quite nice in it. I used Phyllo- 3 sheets on the bottom, half the filling, then 2 sheets, other half of filling, and 3 sheets on the top. Used non-aerosol spray oil instead of brushing on. I agree with other reviewers- too many leeks. I cut them back to about half. Be careful about adding salt! I didn't put any salt in this, and the feta made it more than salty enough.flag if inappropriate
This was definitely delicious! I used lower fat and fat free feta and subbed in some egg substitute in addition to using 2 eggs (instead of 3). The dill and mint were wonderful. I can't wait to eat it as leftovers. I also used less feta than called for which made it less salty, I think it would have been even better if I had added just a few shakes of salt to the mixture.flag if inappropriate
Loved this recipe! I liked the idea of using puff pastry, it is nicer than thin filo and makes eating the finished product less messy. The flavors were wonderful. I loved the leeks. I only used 3 because of suggestions from other reviewers and because the leeks available at my grocery store were huge. That seemed to work fine. I also only used 1 pound of fresh spinach and that was plenty. I think the recipe is pretty flexible that way. One thing I might do next time is cook the bottom layer of puff pastry alone for a few minutes to see if that would make it more crispy. Thanks for a great recipe!flag if inappropriate
I really enjoyed this receipt and opted for the Philo pastry. Rather than 2 pieces total I used 3 on the bottom and 3 on the top and next time I may even use 4. I used only 3 leeks and found the flavor to be lovely when combined with the spinach, mint and cheese. As another reader stated, the mint is a must but I left out the dill (not my favorite). The overall cooking time was more like 45 minutes. As an interesting point, I was out of butter and used Bacel with the Philo pastry and believe it or not it was wonderful.flag if inappropriate
I thought it was very good. Even forgot to put the egg in once and it still was good. Great vegetarian dish. Definitely a regular dish in my house.flag if inappropriate
I used three leeks with the full amount of spinach, and that was just about right. The fresh mint is a must. But I found that the bottom pastry sheet didn't really cook through, even though I upped the heat. Better to skip it, really, or use phyllo sheets.flag if inappropriate
Made with puff pastry sheets and substituted frozen spinach because of cost ($1.39 frozen vs $37.96 fresh, I live in very rural area). Frozen spinach works very well and cuts down on prep time. The flavors were fantastic, however, I found the ratio of leeks to spinach was a bit too heavy on the leeks. Next time I might use 4 leeks and 3 1/2 lbs of spinach (or frozen equivalent). Don't skip the mint and dill, there is great flavor there. Also, if you're looking for a picnic dish that can be handled with your fingers, which spanakopita is very good for, roll the pastry out thinner, with the same amount of filling, and use a half sheet pan, instead of a 9x13 pan, which produces a nice thick slice, but is thick enough that it needs a plate and fork.flag if inappropriate

President Barack Obama has requested $50 billion in stimulus spending on the nation's infrastructure, claiming that an overhaul of America's roads, bridges and railways can help create jobs and boost the economy.
According to media reports, Obama proposed a six-year plan on Oct. 6 that would improve an infrastructure that, he says, is "woefully inefficient" and "outdated." The President said the overhaul would rebuild 150,000 miles of roads, lay and maintain 4,000 miles of railways and restore 150 miles of runways. He also called for the creation of a national high-speed rail network and an electric grid focused on clean energy.
Obama first introduced the infrastructure package in September when he also called for $130 billion in tax cuts and write-offs for businesses, and a $30 billion small business lending bill. According to TalkRadioNews.com, House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) criticized the proposal, saying that government spending is one of the reasons why the economy is struggling to create new jobs.
Obama's stimulus plan would need approval from Congress, which is currently in recess to campaign for November's midterm elections. According to the Los Angeles Times, a GOP aide questioned Obama's timing, suggesting that the proposal should have been unveiled before legislators left Washington.
"Because the November lame-duck session is all booked up, the very earliest the Senate could consider the President's proposal now would be December," Don Stewart, spokesman for Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), told the news source. "And that's assuming that the committees could [or] would want to act in time — a huge 'if'."

Bixby found guilty of murder
ABBEVILLE - It took a jury a little more than two hours to make a decision Sunday night that two Abbeville families had been waiting three years to hear.
Steven Vernon Bixby was found guilty of gunning down Abbeville County Sheriff's Sgt. Danny Wilson and S.C. Constable Donnie Ouzts in cold blood on Dec. 8, 2003. And that news was "like winning the lottery without getting the money," said Marilyn Lee, Sgt. Wilson's sister.
Now the Wilson family and the Ouzts family are praying for another round of justice.
"I hope they fry him," said Blake Ouzts, Mr. Ouzts' grandson.
"He needs to feel what we feel. He needs to feel the fear over losing his life that our loved ones felt."
It was a quiet courtroom here in this small town Sunday night as Judge Alexander MacCaulay read "guilty" 17 times on charges of double murder, kidnapping, conspiracy, assault with intent to kill and possession of a deadly weapon.
Bixby showed little emotion when the verdicts were read.
Now the jury is allowed a 24-hour resting period before it comes back to court to hear testimony in the sentencing phase.
Before the jury decides whether Bixby will receive the death penalty, the state and the defense have to present testimony as to the New Hampshire native's character.
For the Wilson and Ouzts families, there is no doubt as to Bixby's character. As they hugged, cried and whispered praises of joy outside the courthouse, they also spoke of how Bixby kept a smirk on his face during the five-day trial.
The trial was the result of a land dispute. Bixby and his parents were upset the state wanted approximately 20 feet of land near the parents' home on S.C. 72 to widen the highway. Bixby and his father had threatened to gun down any officer on their land, according to witnesses.
"We can't bring them back, but it feels good to know justice has been served," said Joanne Wilson, Sgt. Wilson's oldest sister. "For the first time, not to see a smirk on Steve Bixby's face. …"
Hugs were shared and sighs of relief were released from the courtroom that held its largest audience to date for the trial, which started Wednesday.
According to testimony in the case, Bixby had stockpiled shotguns and ammunition in his parents' home and told a former girlfriend he was ready for a fight.
Later, he bragged in a letter that he could have killed more people.
"Well, he's just a hell of a nice guy, isn't he?" Eighth Circuit Solicitor Jerry Peace said during his closing statements. "He only shot two people and he could have shot eight."
Sgt. Wilson was the first to die in the shootings at the Bixby home. He had gone there to discuss the family's anger over the road, only to be shot while standing on the front porch, his body then dragged inside, according to authorities.
Mr. Ouzts arrived to check on Wilson once radio contact with the officer was lost. He was shot as he stepped out of his patrol car and died on the way to the hospital.
Police surrounded the house for the rest of the day and the standoff finally ended after hundreds of rounds were exchanged. Bixby's father, Arthur Bixby, was wounded in the shootout and also was charged with murder. No trial date has been set in his case.
Rita Bixby, Steven's mother, was charged as an accessory because authorities say she knew her family planned to harm police officers. She was not home when the shootings took place.
Mrs. Bixby testified in her son's defense on Saturday. Approximately 150 people turned out Sunday for the closing arguments. They all sat and listened intently as defense attorney Bill Nettles and Mr. Peace made their pleas for the jury to consider how that fateful December day played out.
Ultimately, the jurors had two choices:
n Did Bixby shoot down Sgt. Wilson and Mr. Ouzts that day and then engage 100-plus officers in one of the most violent firefights in the state's recent history?
n Or was he acting in his and his father's defense in that shootout?
In a half-hour closing argument, Mr. Nettles asked the jury to consider the second option.
"Nobody thinks Steven Bixby should be given a key to the city," Mr. Nettles told the jury. "But they only shot people that made them feel threatened. It wasn't about shooting people on Dec. 8, 2003. It was about their property."
The claim of self defense should be thrown out, Mr. Peace argued.
"When you are charged with murder, you do three things," he told the jury. "It's either, 'I didn't do it.' 'It was an accident.' Or, 'It was self defense.' It is clear it wasn't an accident when Mr. Ouzts was shot in the back."
He held up Mr. Ouzts' shirt and told the jury that Mr. Ouzts put that piece of clothing on to go out and make a living. And then he was shot for trying to help a fellow officer.
As for Sgt. Wilson, Mr. Peace said that's an open-and-shut case as well. He said Sgt. Wilson simply knocked on the door of the Bixby home that morning and was met with gunfire.
For emphasis, the solicitor also held up Sgt. Wilson's blood-soaked shirt. Then the clink of metal was heard in the courtroom. Mr. Peace pulled out Sgt. Wilson's handcuffs and put a photo on the screen of the sergeant's hands that were cuffed behind his back while he bled to death on the Bixbys' living room floor.
"His life is running out on the floor right there, and this guy is reading him his Miranda rights and putting him under citizen's arrest for trespassing," Mr. Peace said, his voice rising in anger. "What kind of crap is that?
"Ladies and gentlemen, we can't let that happen in this county. We can't let that happen in this state. We can't let that happen in this country. We don't care if it's 'Live free or Die,'" he said, citing the New Hampshire motto. "We can't let that happen in this country."

text: Codemaker shows sense of humour with coded jokes Technology 13 March 13 by Philippa Warr Shutterstock Changing the wording of jokes and puns could provide the perfect camouflage for hidden messages being sent from person to person.The technique is a type of steganography -- hiding messages in plain sight. The advantage of steganography over encryption is that while encryption doesn't tend to hide the fact that the coded message exists in the first place, messages sent via steganography are only known to exist by the sender and recipient. Anyone else looking at the data would just see the picture, the text or the piece of music being used as a carrier.In terms of file size, plain text documents are preferable for steganography but often the grammar and syntax of the original are affected by needing to accommodate the extra data. As such, the message reads peculiarly and flags up the fact that it may be concealing something.Computer scientist Abdelrahman Desoky of the University of Maryland has discovered that jokes and puns provide a far more effective vector for carrying secret messages as their vocabulary is far more flexible."Generally, joke and puns could be retold with totally different vocabulary, while still retaining their identities," said Desoky. "Therefore, Jokestega pursues the common variations among jokes to conceal data."Furthermore, when someone is joking, anything may be said which legitimises the use of joke-based steganography. This makes employing textual jokes very attractive as steganographic carriers for camouflaging data."An example given in a press release involved inserting the code word "shaking" into a joke. The original format was "Where do milk shakes come from?" with the answer "From nervous cows." Using jokestega the answer becomes "From shaking cows." A lot of the finesse is lost but the alteration reads as a slightly hamfisted retelling of a well-known joke rather than an obvious concession to a coded message.Basically, as long as you're willing to sacrifice a little of your reputation for wit, Jokestega could allow you to swap around eight bits of data with each punchline.

This barn was done in watercolor pencils and then I used aloe vera gel to "paint" the barn and background around it. It was placed on timtex and then I did a landscape quilt around it. I then did the thread play.
Thank you for sharing this. Can you tell me if your water color penciles were spread by the aloe in the same way water would on paper? I heard of using textile medium for this and it makes it washable but I was very curious about the aloe myself. Aloe is a staple in my studio too.
You did a wonderful job on this quilt and I love the effect of this technique. Thank you again for sharing and especially in the enlargements form.
This is a fun piece!
Fabulous! Glad to see another quilt. I have water color pencils but have not yet tried them on fabric. I guess I will have to step out of my comfort zone and give it a try.
Thank you all for the nice comments on my quilt. Whidbey what do you use the aloe vera for in your studio? Just for skin care? And, yes it makes the pencils run and color can sometimes over run the boundrys and so I try to go easy at the edges of two colors if I don't want them to mix. riverart, I hope you have a very relaxing time and how wonderful to have a friend with a quilt in the show! I'll forgive you if the pencils are not a priority :) Nancy
I use the aloe as an extender for mixing into Tsuneko inks. I use my paint brushes . The aloe keeps the inks controlable with no running. And when the aloe dries it is gone and the inks can be ironed and permanent. I can even paint the fabric first with aloe and it is less markers are less likely to run uncontrollably depending on the fabric. I love painting faces with this method on silk. Everything looks like watercolor.
I am going to try your colored pencils. Thank you for the hints.

Sky photography lovers. Photo Stream
I got back from Cologne last night and I had a truly wonderful weekend with my family. I met a friend in Siegburg on Friday, picked up my sister at the airport and had a fun game night with everyone. On Saturday, our uncle and aunt came over for lunch, my sister and mother went shopping while I sat in the backyard in 30°C weather and sunshine. Sunday was my cousin's Holy Communion, the whole procedure was really lovely and we celebrated at an Italian restaurant. On Monday, we drove my sister to the airport and went over to my uncle's house to eat more cake in the afternoon and I went on a walk with my grandparents in the evening. :)
I spent a lot of time reading and knitting, enjoying life and spending time with my lovely family. It's definitely what I needed because uni is about to get really busy and I have tons to do. I'm getting a bunch of stuff done this morning, have a long class this afternoon and a game night to look forward to tonight!
How was your weekend? :)

For 10 of the 16 years between 1990 and 2006, August was the most popular month to give birth — though Oct. 5 is the most popular day — and February was the least. That would mean August babies are conceived in November.
If November is for baby-making and August is for childbirth, then February and March are for baby announcements. Because celebrities, and their conception dates, are just like us, right?

SAINT ROSE, LA. ——Edward Reed was a mess.
Jeanne Hall — the woman the Ravens safety calls a second mother — can't find any other way to put it when she thinks back to the classes he missed and the assignments he disregarded as a freshman at Destrehan High.
Though Hall has worked with thousands of Destrehan students and hundreds of football players, there's a reason she keeps Reed's picture on her desk beside snapshots of her biological children.
"You know Edward, everybody's not blessed like you, the talent you have," she would tell him. "So you can waste it or you can do something good with it. And he chose to do something really good with the talent."
That's why Super Bowl week in New Orleans has been such a proud time for Hall and others who helped Reed emerge from this place. He has returned not only as an all-time-great player but as a son who fulfilled their fondest hopes.
Much of the Ed Reed we know from Baltimore — the player who discerns patterns on a football field with rare genius, the mentor who shares his wisdom with teammates and youngsters, the mercurial personality who'll disarm you with offbeat humor one day and withdraw completely the next — can be traced back to this town of 8,122, located hard against the east bank of the Mississippi River.
Though he spends most of the offseason with his son in Atlanta, Reed keeps Saint Rose close to his heart. His parents and siblings still live here, and Hall still works at Destrehan High, from which Reed graduated in 1997. Every summer, Reed comes back to hold a camp for hundreds of local kids, running with them on the same fields he trod as a youth star.
When Reed, 34, sang "Two Tickets to Paradise" after the Ravens won the AFC championship, he wasn't just commenting on the glory of reaching the Super Bowl. He was celebrating the fact he'd be going home to do it.
"You can't take this out of him," said Hall, who speaks with him at least once a week and frequently travels to watch his games. "He's small-town Edward. He'll always be small-town Edward."
All week in New Orleans, Reed has played belle of the ball, merrily holding court with the writers he often avoids during the season.
He remembered coming to the Superdome as a teenager during Super Bowl week, his reward for winning the local Punt, Pass and Kick competition. Visions of that experience flashed in his head as the Ravens prepared for this year's AFC championship game. Were they a portent of a trip home for the Super Bowl?
"Before we played the Patriots, I started seeing those images, but I wasn't saying anything about it," Reed said. "It was just like, 'Lord, for real? Is this real?' I knew we had to play this game, and it's just awesome."
A loving mother
Here, they still call him Edward.
Saint Rose wasn't the toughest place to grow up. It's an increasingly middle-class suburb of New Orleans, with nearly equal black and white populations. It has gentrified some since Reed's childhood.
His father, Ed Sr., was a welder and his mother, Karen, kept the house and tried to keep five sons full on baked chicken, macaroni and cheese and jambalaya. It was a loving home by all accounts.
Karen Reed has not given many interviews, but she came to Destrehan this week to talk about her second son, who surprised her with a new house in Saint Rose when he had earned enough NFL money. She wore hand-sewn purple Ravens boots, an AFC championship T-shirt and purple nail polish.
"It means a lot," she said of her son's attachment to Louisiana. "He loves working with the kids here."

Hello and thanks for visiting our site.
If you're like us, the first time you saw a Bronco it made you do a double take. At some point in your life you rode in or drove an Early Bronco and you never forgot the impression it left with you. If you owned one you discovered it's one of the most practical vehicles ever invented. We have owned 4 or five It has near perfect 50/50 weight distribution with chameleon like abilities. It can be converted from a 4WD station wagon (SUV to you trendoids), to a pickup, or open top convertible roadster in a matter of minutes. It's on and off-road manners are superb. It is inexpensive, extremely simple, and easy to maintain. With V-8 power, Dana 44 front axle, 9 inch rear, and actual room for "stuff" in the back, it came standard with everything the sheep guys have to add to their rides.
Ford is an interesting company. Besides inventing the modern production line, Henry Ford had a philosophy that his workers had to be able to afford the products they were making. To do that he figured out how to make cars inexpensively through ingenuity and innovative manufacturing. He also paid his workers a living wage without the pressure of a union. GM was always the political and media darling because they caved to the pressure of the 1920s-30s socialists who ran the unions and the politicians who caused the depression era economy. Mr. Ford fought them all the way. Lately, Ford seems to be finding its soul again. Maybe someday they'll get rid of the escape, sport trac, or explorer to make room in the production lineup for a real Bronco again. We thought the turbo diesel concept Bronco was a good starting point. Too bad they didn't have the courage to refine the design and build it. Until then we're here to keep the originals alive.
In 1999 Mike Standley began developing the best fiberglass composite body tubs and replacement parts that could be made. He started as a full time effort. Unfortunately, family obligations got in the way for a while and he lost his way. Several years ago he got back into the shop again and have never left, until December 2014. Rod and Corey Sunday purchased the company at this time. Rod has spent 40 plus years in the fiberglass industry making everything from bench seats, corvette parts, motor homes, to swimming pools. Corey has a background in customer service and sales. Mike is still involved and goes to most of the shows with us.
Like Mr. Ford, our commitment is to produce the best quality at a cost the average guy can afford. When you buy from us, you are buying direct. Outside points of view and input are welcome. Thanks again for checking us out.
Happy Trails!
Rod and Corey Sunday, BroncoDesign

keeping baby home first month?
Well I'm a FTM and the only way my baby is leaving the house is for apt. and for some sun on the porch and walking outside. Other then that, he will be home with me until I feel comfortable enough .
I may be extreme, but I prefer to keep them home even longer than that, initially. At least 6-8 weeks. Ask your ped what they recommend -- my son's only 2.5 but I've already forgotten what the "official" recommendation is (if there is one). :)
I didn't do that with my son. We went out to eat a few days after he was born. I took him grocery shopping with me a week after he was born. My pediatrician told me to expose him to everything to help build his immune system. The kid has had one cold and he is two. No ear infections, no flu (no flu shot), nothing.
*I want to add that I'm not recommending this to everyone. It is just how we are. We take them everywhere from day one.

DD#1 Coming Aug 2015... I don't know how to girl!
Probably just until I feel up to getting out. I agree with PP. I'm a firm believer in exposing baby to the outside world to build immunity.
I'm trying to remember what book I read it in. I think it may have been the What to Expect: First Year book but it basically said unless you brought your baby home from the hospital by a sterile tunnel, the baby has already been exposed. They suggested going out was perfectly fine just try to avoid areas of high congestion (so don't take your baby onto a stuffed Subway or something). It's good to introduce immune systems to germs so they can build immunity but just try to do it slowely. I'll plan on avoiding people if we know they are sick but things like going to the grocery store will happen the first few weeks I'm home.
FTM to Anabelle May born Feb. 9th!

Corner Stop Cafe, Lawrenceville
Two baked chicken lunch specials, with green beans and mashed potatoes: $13.98
Sweet tea: $2.11
Water: $0.00
Tax: $1.01
Total: $17.16
Editor's note: "Out To Lunch" is a periodic feature that allows readers a chance to learn about the people behind the titles in Gwinnett County through a lunchtime conversation with a member of the GDP staff. The subject picks the place, we pick up the tab and then share the conversations that occur during the meal.
LAWRENCEVILLE -- Being Santa, ladies and gentlemen, is not all rosy cheeks, cute pictures and mistletoe. For the good ones, it means equal parts technique and finesse, love and observation.
It means, for Ed Sveum, abandoning the crop of dirty blond hair he's still holding on to in his early 60s.
"I go in usually right around Thanksgiving to get my hair whitened," the 15-year veteran of the Santa game said. "That's pretty much a most-of-the-day process. Several applications of the bleach and the toner to get the color right."
Not that Sveum, who owns and operates a Suwanee ultrasound business by day, needs a ton of help to look like the North Pole's head elf. He keeps some version of a beard year-round, and there's something about his face -- tight, happy eyes, small nose -- that screams Kris Kringle.
He needs the appropriately tiny reading glasses anyway, and we won't talk about the belly.
Picking over a plate of Southern comfort food -- baked chicken, green beans, mashed potatoes hold the gravy -- at a downtown Lawrenceville cafe last week, Sveum waxed about life on the holiday circuit. After spending four years as the Mall of Georgia's official St. Nick, the grandfather of five is now a self-employed Santa for hire.
These days, he bides his time working primarily private parties, day care centers and schools.
Jovial but soft-spoken, he shared a few tricks of the trade:
-- It's physical: Lifting up and holding kids all day can be a bear, especially if you're working the mall, where you can see as many as 30 or 40 lap-sitters an hour.
"I'd be eating good, and I'd still lose five to 10 pounds doing that," Sveum said.
-- Positioning is key: "You want them a little bit sideways so you can talk to them, but you can also turn them pretty easily to get the pictures that the parents want."
-- There are two groups that pull the beard: The babies, who yank anything they can, and the 5- and 6-year-olds that want to make sure it's real.
"They'll give it a good strong tug if you're not careful," Sveum said.
-- Listen!: Kids are impressed by Santa. You know what impresses them even more? When Santa knows their name.
"A lot of times you have to listen and hear the parents talking to them and say their name, then you know who you're talking to," Sveum said. "If you can say their name without them telling it to you, it really helps."
-- Never. Promise. Anything: Kids tell Santa what they want for Christmas. Santa, however, should never, ever make any guarantees about those requests.
"You don't know what the parents are doing," Sveum said. "You never promise them anything."
-- Find a good cleaner: Kids eat candy and ice cream and then sit in Santa's lap, on his rather expensive suit. That means frequent trips to the dry cleaner.
"You've got to find a good cleaner to take care of those (suits)," Sveum said. "If they're not careful, all that white fur, they can really mess that up."
Sveum is so convincing as Santa Claus that even his grandkids (OK, the 11-year-old might be catching on) believe he's actually St. Nick. The fact that he spends his down time making basic toys like trains and dolls out of wood (in Santa's workshop, as it were) probably doesn't hurt the illusion.
The young ones aren't afraid to let Santa/Grandpa know specifically what they want for Christmas -- one would assume Sveum tends to break his own rules and make a few promises.
"They've grown up knowing that their grandfather is Santa Claus, and that's just the way it is," Sveum said with a chuckle, taking a gulp of sweet tea. "A couple of years ago, I had one grandson that called me on my cellphone, and he wanted to make sure that Santa Claus knew that he wanted Reese's peanut butter cups in his stocking."

Hello Pradyoth,
As Frank says, this is quite a tricky shot to capture in one exposure because of the contrast between the sky and the shadows in the foreground (obviously!)
So! Not being one to turn down a challenge I've had a go at a mod. I've selectively adjusted the dark parts of the foreground using the shadows/highlights tool, then done the same to the central section with the red bricks and roof. I also added some contrast here, I didn't apply any to the foreground. The sky's a part of one that I shot somewhere, probably whilst walking the dog.
Hope it's OK.

@Frank and Bren, a lot of thanks for your valuable comments. The modification uploaded by you are fantastic. It gave an absolute new dimension to the image I have uploaded. I will try to know how, in photoshop, sky can be replaced. In most of my pictures the sky becomes so dull that it ruins the picture in total. Recently I have got Photoshop CS4. Is that be able to use as a tool to replace the sky as you have done.
Nominating Constructive Critique
Thanks Frank, in hindu mythology it is said , always spread your hands , you will find a friend there. You have proven it truth. i will be highly oblighed , if you kindly send it.
Nominating Constructive Critique
CS4's a tremendous tool and Frank's email instructions will probably be fine with it.
Also, it's well worth looking at the techniques section in Epz. There are tutorials on how to do just about anything. I know, for example, that there is at least one which explains how to replace a background, in this case the sky.
In fact there are hundreds of tutorials on the web.
And then there's the critique gallery. If you ever need to know how to achieve or correct soemthing using CS4, there will always be someone here who will be pleased to help you, as Frank has done in this case.
Beware though, CS4's a huge learning curve but if your careful and patient, it will pay huge dividends.

Hydralazine Pregnancy and Breastfeeding Warnings
Hydralazine is also known as: Apresoline
Hydralazine Pregnancy Warnings
Hydralazine has been assigned to pregnancy category C by the FDA. Animal studies have revealed evidence of teratogenicity after doses 20 to 30 times the maximum recommended daily human dose (on a per kg basis) were given to mice. Teratogenicity was possibly related to hydralazine after doses 10 to 15 times the maximum recommended daily human dose (on a per kg basis) were given to rabbits. There are no controlled data in human pregnancy. Hydralazine should only be given during pregnancy when benefit outweighs risk.
In general, hydralazine has been used extensively and safely for the treatment of maternal hypertension during pregnancy. There are reports of neonatal asymptomatic and symptomatic thrombocytopenia and maternal and fetal lupus-like syndromes. Among 50,282 mother-child pairs monitored in the Collaborative Perinatal Project, 136 instances of the use of hydralazine during pregnancy were found. Of the 136 pairs, eight malformed children were observed at "anytime" during pregnancy (3.8 were expected from the population studied), yielding a standardized relative risk of 2.09. Underlying preeclampsia makes implication of drug therapy alone difficult. Data from the Michigan Medicaid Birth Defects Study (MMBDS) failed to reveal an association between the use of hydralazine and congenital abnormalities (written communication, Franz Rosa, MD, Food and Drug Administration, 1994). The MMBDS is a retrospective study of 229,101 completed pregnancies between 1985 and 1992, of which 40 were exposed to hydralazine at some time during the first trimester, and 341 were exposed to the drug at any time during pregnancy. These data do not support an association between hydralazine and birth defects. However, results of a meta-analysis comprised of randomized controlled trials do not support the use of hydralazine as a first line agent for the treatment of severe hypertension in pregnancy. Compared with other antihypertensives, use of hydralazine was associated with more cesarean sections, placental abruption, maternal oliguria, and maternal side effects such as headache, palpitations, hypotension, and tachycardia.
Hydralazine Breastfeeding Warnings
In one case report of a woman who was taking hydralazine 50 mg three times a day, the milk to maternal serum concentration ratio was 1.4, indicating concentration of hydralazine in milk. Even so, the amount of drug exposed to the nursing infant is relatively small, and no adverse effects in the nursing infant were observed.
Hydralazine is excreted into human milk. Adverse effects in the nursing infant are unlikely. The American Academy of Pediatrics considers hydralazine to be compatible with breast-feeding; however, some experts recommend against breast-feeding during hydralazine therapy.

A tradition that began for The American Legion in 1953 continues Jan. 21, when the organization will sponsor an inauguration-related event in the nation's capital. But the event isn't only about the inauguration. It's also meant to honor dozens of those who have achieved the highest honor one can achieve in military service.
On Monday, The American Legion Salute to Heroes Inaugural Ball will bring more than 25 Medal of Honor recipients to the Renaissance Washington, D.C. Downtown Hotel on the occasion of the 57th Presidential Inauguration. The American Legion is sponsoring the event, while 13 other veterans service organizations are co-sponsors.
The Salute to Heroes will present the opportunity for the president and vice president – who traditionally attend the ball – to meet face to face with the Medal of Honor recipients.
"We are bringing these men here to honor and salute them," said American Legion National Commander James E. Koutz, who also will attend the event. "But we are truly honored to have these heroes among us. What they did goes well above and beyond the call of duty, and they deserve both our recognition and our thanks."
Along with the Medal of Honor recipients, another special guest will be former longtime "NBC Nightly News" anchor Tom Brokaw, the author of "The Greatest Generation." A 1998 recipient of The American Legion National Commander's Public Relations Award, Brokaw wrote "The Greatest Generation" to chronicle the lives of Americans who grew up during the Great Depression and fought in World War II – either overseas or on the home front. Brokaw called them "the greatest generation any society has ever produced."
Brokaw also participated in the Legion's Boys State program and was elected governor of the South Dakota program.
"We will be honoring men who fought and sacrificed in America's wars, including a few of 'The Greatest Generation' who defended our country in World War II," Koutz said. "Mr. Brokaw wrote an outstanding book about that generation, and I'm sure all of our Medal of Honor attendees look forward to seeing him at the ball."
Other guests will include Rep. Jeff Miller (R-Fla.), chairman of the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs, and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), chairman of the Senate Committee on Veterans' Affairs. Other attendees will include U.S. military personnel who have served, and are serving, in the war on terrorism, celebrities, and guest dignitaries. Media covering the banquet and ball include CNN, (serving as pool camera for other networks), The Christian Broadcasting Network, Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, Military.com, Stars & Stripes, The Washington Post, The Washington Times, Military Times, Politico and Bloomberg News.
"This event is an opportunity to congratulate the president and again offer our resources to work with him for America's veterans and military," Koutz said. "But it's also the opportunity for the man elected to lead our nation to come face to face with a special group of Americans who have proven in battle that the values we hold dear are worth fighting for."
Tickets are $250 apiece for the banquet and ball, and $125 apiece for admission to the ball only. For ticket purchases, please contact Wanda Tallakson at (202) 861-2700 or firstname.lastname@example.com [2]. The deadline to purchase tickets is today.

The coating is a mixture of cross-linked "polydimethylsiloxane," or PDMS, and liquid-resisting nanoscale cubes developed by the Air Force that contain carbon, fluorine, silicon and oxygen. While the material's chemistry is important, so is its texture, because it hugs the pore structure of whatever surface it is applied to, and creates a fine web of air pockets within those pores, so any liquid that comes in contact with the coating is barely touching a solid surface.
According to Dr. Tuteja, when an untreated surface and a liquid get in close proximity, "they imbue a small positive or negative charge on each other, and as soon as the liquid comes in contact with the solid surface, it will start to spread.we've drastically reduced the interaction between the surface and the droplet." By effectively eliminating the contact between the treated surface and the liquid, there is almost no incentive for the liquid to spread, as such, the droplets stay intact, interacting only with molecules of themselves, and maintaining their spherical shape.
The research team has tested more than 100 liquids and found only two that were able to penetrate the coating: they were both chlorofluorocarbonschemicals used in refrigerators and air conditioners. In Tuteja's lab demonstrations the surface repelled coffee, soy sauce and vegetable oil, as well as toxic hydrochloric and sulfuric acids, and the surfaces are also resistant to gasoline and various alcohols.
This program is of particular interest to the Air Force and the Department of Defense, as it can be useful for self-cleaning su

Star Features
The Lord elevated me
George Henry - Elder Laval Wilkinson
GEORGE HENRY, STAR Writer
The Bible tells us in James chapter 4 and verse 10, that we should humble ourselves in the sight of the Lord and He shall lift us up. Well, Elder Laval Wilkinson is one Christian who has applied these words to his life and is now reaping the benefits for his humility.
A native of Malvern in St Elizabeth, Wilkinson grew up in a poor family and experienced many struggles throughout his life. He became a Christian in 1994 and became a member of the Malvern Seventh-day Adventist Church. Knowing that if he lived by the words in James chapter 4 he would have been lifted up by the Lord, he sought to serve his Maker well.
This young elder, who currently worships at the Philadelphia Seventh-day Adventist Church in Toronto, Canada, has seen God elevate him from being an ordinary church member to head elder, Sabbath school teacher, and to be the man in charge of the fund-raising department for that congregation.
God has been working in Wilkinson's life to the extent that he has been elevated, despite many writing him off in his Malvern community. Many did not expect him to become anyone worthwhile in life, but he was able to access and acquire teacher training at the Bethlehem Moravian College and work in at least one large corporation in Canada, which he headed before returning to the classroom in that country. He is currently serving as coordinator at Calvary Child and Family services in Ontario, where he works as a counsellor.
"I have been a Seventh-day Adventist Christian since 1994 and I have been involved as an officer since that very same year. I have served as treasurer, youth leader, Sabbath school teacher; Head elder, men's ministry leader, and fund-raising coordinator," bragged Elder Wilkinson, who added that living for God is a great way to live, because It adds great meaning and purpose to life.
Wilkinson's walk with the Lord started out of the fact that his grandmother was a praying person. He noted that, although she was not a church regular until she got baptised in her 70s, she always used the principles of the Bible to raise him.
"I was invited to church one Sabbath by one of my cousins, and that was it. I was hungry for knowledge and read voraciously. The decision to get baptised was just a natural outcome," testified the elder.
Wilkinson recalled that, prior to his surrendering to the Lord, he was an individual who was unsure, confused, unfocused and misdirected, a lump of clay searching for a purpose and definite direction in life.
"I was afraid of the God I heard about; afraid of the judgement I heard about, until I got to know him for myself," noted the church leader.
Now that Wilkinson knows God for himself, he pointed out that he now fears Him (God) and is not afraid of Him, and now basks in his freedom. He added that he is now more certain about himself and his life than he would ever have been otherwise.
Elder Wilkinson stated that the things people used to say about God before he got to know Him only drove Him in fear, and, according to him, that is not what God wants. He explained that God wants us to run to Him out of love.
The husband of TracyAnn and the father of Lavanya wants persons who are not yet saved to know that they are missing out on a lot while living a life without Christ.

NC Tokers?
Are there any North Carolina Tokers out there? :wave:
hey man, i live in NC. My friend told me that head shops are illegal here is that true? I just started smoking and wanted to get a glass peice.
no theyre deffinently not illegal. they are just hard to find, theres only like 3 or 4 i know of. you just need to know where to look.
there not illegal where do you live in nc there is a very good one on franklin street in chapel hill.
Sup Dank, do you live in Chapel Hill? I've been there for about 12 years but I'm also a student at App. State in Boone, NC, I alternate towns every couple of weeks. As for headshops, HazMat on Franklin St. is pretty good, as well as Expressions in Chapel Hill and the Boone Expressions is good too.
Asheville is the dankest town in NC, 3 really phat headshops, and the streets they are on are the most hippy streets I've ever seen. Chapel Hill's HazMat and Expressions pale in comparison to Octopus Garden (2 floors!) and the other headshops in Asheville. Boone is decent too, and there are headshops in pretty much every city with 30,000+ people.
is central NC extremely dry or is it just me? i keep hearing about all these new drug busts or whatever. all i have to say is its really starting to suck
yeah man, thats where i live, just south of raligh, in a town called clayton and everyone here is dry, i havnt been able to smoke for like a week.
is anybody here from north carolina? practically nobody smokes here in greensboro NC (i know its probably bad to give out my city but i trust potheads) (mod note- don't ask about hookups here)or even to talk to about prices and strains here
let me know
Well I dont live in North Carolina, but my parents have a house in Cornelius. I dont know if that is anywhere close to Greensboro though.
I have a friend that had to move to NC, not exactly sure though. If he lives in the same town I can talk to him for ya.
yeah i dont really know for sure were cornelius is but im pretty sure its close
thatd be great if you could find out ganjics or whatever your userthing is
Yo I stay in kinston NC and smoke alot of trees
is that on the east side or the west side and how old are you..if your cool with saying
Im moving near Kinston this summer.
i live in charlotte north carolina, pretrty close to greensboro
charlotte is really close, (MOD NOTE-REPEAT--DO NOT ASK ABOUT CONNECTIONS HERE ITS AGAINST FORUM GUIDELINES)
im in greensboro but my sister goes to appalachin. she always brings crazy stuff down. if you want pot in north carolina ap is definetly the place to go
hey i live in charlotte north carolina were pretty dry down here too... i heard UNCW has some good bud (wilmington) and i heard great things about appalcian or however u spell it.. as far as headshops goes theres one i think on independece called infinities end in charlotte its supposed to be pretty good, but ive never been before.
Watch Out For Police (North Carolina)
I just want to remind my fellow NC Tokers to be careful out there! I used to live In Washington DC, Maryland at the height of the The Great Crack Epidemic. My city was full of police pursuing crack dealers and crack heads, for the most part they actually gave little attention to marijuana users and
dealers: In many cases they would let potheads and potdealers off with few
and minor charges at the most. Not the case down here (North Carolina) for one I believe there are more cops down here than there ever was In MD and they also harass the hell out of potheads. I have seen friends and family jailed for selling and using pot, just like they were real bad guys (hard drug
dealers). To sum it all up guys and gals be careful out there.
1. Never smoke while driving
2. Carry your stash In scent proof containers
3. Don't trust everybody.
4. Always drive the speed limit (no matter what)!
5. Always keep your lights (car) in good working order
I no I have ranted my ass off, still I just don't want anybody to go through what (Once Again Please Stay Safe)
I, friends, and family have been through since living In NC
Im from Greensboro too... Im tryin ta go to app next year... i cant wait... i know a shit load of people up there and they all say tha bud is dank and tha price is cheap

Responding to the fierce controversy and surprising developments surrounding the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives' (ATF) botched Operation Fast and Furious gun-walking program, the United States Senate voted unanimously on Tuesday to block the Justice Department from taking part in any further gun-smuggling probes like that which characterized Operation Fast and Furious.
The provision was part of a $128 billion spending Senate bill that funds the Justice Department's various operations, as well as those of a number of other Cabinet agencies for the 2012 budget year, in which we are already underway.
The measure to halt all further gun-walking operations from the DOJ was introduced as an amendment. The amendment, written by Sen. John Cornyn III (R.-Tex., photo) reads: "No funds made available under this Act shall be used to allow the transfer of firearms to agents of drug cartels where law enforcement personnel of the United States do not continuously monitor and control such firearms at all times."
Cornyn, who serves on the Finance, Judiciary, Armed Services and Budget Committees, said when he introduced the amendment, "When 2,000 firearms go missing, and at least one is found at the crime scene of a murdered U.S. Border Patrol agent, we must do everything possible to ensure that such a reckless and ill-advised operation like Fast and Furious is not repeated."

Mises: The Last Knight of Liberalism
In Mises: The Last Knight of Liberalism, Jörg Guido Hülsmann has surely written the definitive personal and intellectual biography of perhaps the greatest economist of the 20th century.
Hülsmann takes us into the world of Mises' childhood, and the intellectual climate of his day. Hülsmann's knowledge of economics enables him to explain and evaluate Mises' major works and the various arguments with which Mises contested. One of Mises' major works, Socialism, converted many to the market economy, and left the socialists of his day without a viable system.
Australia Day
On 26 January 1788, a fleet of eleven ships, commanded by Captain Arthur Phillip, entered Port Jackson to establish New South Wales as a penal colony.
In the past, 26 January has been referred to as First Landing Day, as well as Foundation Day, and celebrated with dinners and drinking. Each colony celebrated their own holidays rather than the holiday of New South Wales.
First Landing Day is now used by statists to promote national pride. As the federal government promotes Australia Day it unnecessarily antagonises aboriginal people and creates a need for reconciliation. How can the liberal-minded person remember these important historical events without the statist themes?
The Party for Libertarians
Should a libertarian join the Liberal Party, the Liberal Democratic Party, or not join any political party at all? Tim Andrews has been asking this question over at Thoughts on Freedom.
While there are both costs and benefits for any option, there is no right or wrong role. There are different roles for different people. Some may work best promoting libertarianism within the Liberal Party, while others may prefer the somewhat greater ideological purity of an explicitly libertarian party. Others may be more effective in a think tank or teaching at a university. These are all legitimate options. The important thing is that every libertarian must engage in the role that best suits his talents.
Kevin Rudd's Painful Recovery
Kevin Rudd is no economist. In his recent article, The road to recovery (Sydney Morning Herald, 25 July 2009), Rudd has demonstrated he does not understand the current economic depression.
Kevin Rudd is setting up a free market straw man to destroy in order to sell further intervention to the Australian people. This intervention is bound to fail. While the people struggle along with his policies on their back, Kevin Rudd will no doubt take credit for their progress.
Government Stimulus Impossible
In the present economic depression (known as the Global Financial Crisis) politicians around the world are enacting massive programs aimed at 'stimulating the economy'. They are bound to fail and can only make matters worse.
Government stimulus is nothing less that taking money from the many to give to the few. It is like taking water out of the deep end of the pool, and pouring it in the shallow end, in an effort to raise the water level.
Recovery Disks
Traditionally computers have come with recovery disks (or system disks) containing the operating system, and all the software that allows the computer user to reinstall the operating system and the software that came with the computer. Recently, rather than selling a computer with recovery disks, some computer vendors are expecting users to make their own recovery disks from a recovery partition on the hard drive. This saves money because there is no need to ship a disk with the computer, but it is in no way good for the computer buyer.
Kevin Rudd's Twisted Mind
Kevin Rudd is a desperately confused man, a man who has lost his grip on reality. Rudd demonstrated his confusion in a recent article, The Global Financial Crisis (The Monthly, Feb 2009).
The Impossibility of Limited Government
In his lecture, The Impossibility of Limited Government, Hans-Hermann Hoppe examines three sources of American national pride. The sources include, (1) America's colonial past of natural human liberty, (2) the original American revolution, and (3) the American constitution. In Professor Hoppe's view the first two are justified sources of pride, but the third represents a fateful error.
Internet Censorship
The flawed nature of Kevin Rudd's policy of internet censorship is becoming obvious (Sydney Morning Herald).
While the ruling party says that the internet censorship policy is about blocking material that nearly everyone would also object to, there is nothing stopping the definition of 'prohibited content' from expanding in the future. Once the principle of the state being the final authority on 'approved content', there can be no argument over the degree on control. Will you be next on the black list?
Leaders of the Free World
Some claim that the President of the United States of America is the 'leader of the free world' (Google News) . How can this be? How can an entire society of free people have only one leader? Surely free people can follow other leaders!

Sandra Loughry's son is asking for help to find the person responsible for killing his mother.
wdbj-7. I'm Jean Jadhon And I'm Chris Hurst. Our top story at six: Roanoke Police are investigating the hit and run accident that killed a woman early Saturday morning. And tonight, Sandra Loughry's son is asking for help to find the person responsible. Joe Dashiell spoke with Joe Taylor just a short time ago, and he's live tonight on Shenandoah Avenue, near the site of the deadly accident. Joe what did Taylor have to say? Chris, Joe Taylor drove to Roanoke today from his home in West Virginia to meet with police. He believes that someone here can provide the information that will help investigators solve this case. Sandra Loughry grew up in the area around Morgantown, West Virginia. She moved to Roanoke from Ohio a few years ago. Early Saturday morning, police say, she was walking east on Shenandoah Avenue with a companion when she was hit from behind. Police have been looking for a small to medium sized sedan, likely with damage on the passenger side of the car. And Taylor says he is optimistic that justice will be served. Joe Taylor/Sandra Loughry's son: She would do anything she could to have a good time with everybody and she would speak her mind. If you made her mad she'd let you know, but she was a really good woman and she would do anything for kids and her grandkids. They was her world. Both Joe Taylor and his sister recently had their second children, two grandchildren that Sandra Loughry will never meet. Taylor says his mother was planning to move back to West Virginia next month. Live in Roanoke Joe Dashiell wdbj7.

Dutch crunch loaf before and after baking
You can avoid the white edge by using brown rice flour to dust your bread pan. I was too lazy to limber up the brown rice flour from the freezer this time.
Cinnamon loaf after baking. (Notice instant-read thermometer reading.)
More than new bread recipes, these two are examples of what you can do with the bread recipes that you currently like to make. The first, dutch crunch, is decoration on bread. A search of the internet turned up three or four original recipes and a lot of references to a recipe from Sunset Magazine. How can you go wrong with Sunset? The second recipe, cinnamon bread, was inspired by a bag of Bob's Red Mill Cinnamon Bread. The result was both simple and delicious. However, I decided to make my own, and it took a couple of tries. I'm still not totally done with modifying the cinnamon bread recipe, but it is absolutely delicious now. The cinnamon sugar is sprinkled on the top before the bread is baked.
Dutch Crunch Topping (Sunset Magazine - year unknown) Amount Measure Ingredient 2 Tablespoons Sugar (You could use more) 2 Packages Dry yeast or 2 tablespoons bulk yeast 1/4 teaspoon Salt 6 Tablespoons White rice flour 1 teaspoon Oil 1/3 Cup Very warm water
Mix all ingredients. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 15 to 30 minutes prior to applying to your unrisen loaf. Make any loaf you like. Apply dots of the topping to the bread and smooth down with the back of a spoon dipped in water. See left hand picture above. The result should look like the right hand picture. In case you are curious, the basic bread was Nearly Perfect White Bread.
The next recipe is something you can do with your regular white bread recipe or commercial mix. I started with my favorite bread recipe and decided that it needed to be a fluffier bread. Hence, I decreased the protein by using two kinds of flour. You will probably not need to do this in your recipe. Next, I increased the sugar by adding 1/4 cup more to my normal recipe. Next, I put in 1/4 cup of dry milk powder to improve the texture and added cinnamon and spices. What about the Expandex? I'm a fan of Expandex because I think it improves the texture and elasticity. With Expandex, I reduce the gums by more than 50%. The bread is much better the second day on. Some people think that Expandex makes bread gummy. GF bread will always have a different mouth feel than gluten bread. If GF bread is fully cooked, it will not be gummy - Expandex or not. This is a personal choice. How much Expandex: 1 Tablespoon per finished cup of flour. If you make your own flour mixes, leave out 1 Tablespoon of tapioca flour and put in 1 Tablespoon of Expandex for every cup of finished flour mix.
Cinnamon Bread (A modification of Nearly Perfect White Bread)
Strong gluten-free flour (see recipe below)
Carol Fenster's regular gluten-free flour (see recipe below)
White sugar (next time I will try brown sugar or Trader Joe's molasses sugar) You might like to use more sugar.
Xanthan Gum
Guar Gum
Dry milk powder
Cinnamon (If you don't have Saigon cinnamon, make this 2 Tablespoons)
Saigon Cinnamon
Ground Allspice
Ground Nutmeg
Instant yeast (Try to avoid Fleischmann's)
Kosher salt, regular table ground
Very warm tap water - 110 - 115°F
Cider vinegar
2 - 4
Melted margarine or flavor-removed olive oil
Coat a 9" X 5" X 3" metal loaf baking pan with margarine and dust with brown rice flour.
Combine all of the dry ingredients, including raisins, in the work bowl of a stand mixer. Mix for 1 minute or so. Next add the water and vinegar and blend thoroughly. Let stand for 5 - 10 minutes while the yeast activates. Next add the oil and eggs and blend for 1 or 2 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl.
Place the dough into the bread pan and smooth with the back of a large spoon, dipped in warm water. Spray top of bread with olive oil from your Misto sprayer, and cover with plastic wrap. Allow to double in bulk in a warm place or the proofing setting your convection oven. Remove bread from the oven if using the oven for a proofing box. Pre-heat the oven to 400° F (actually will be 375° F in a convection oven). Optionally, sprinkle the top of the bread with cinnamon sugar and bake for 35 - 45 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer reads between 200° F and 205° F. Turn out onto a cooling rack and cool thoroughly before slicing.
Strong Gluten Free Bread Flour Recipe (55% whole grain)
1 Cup Bean Flour (Heartlands Finest mild navy bean flour is preferred - Celiac Specialties, LLC, Heartlands Finest, or Gluten Free Mall)
1-1/2 Cups whole grain Sorghum flour (Bob's Red Mill or other)
1 Cup corn starch
3/4 Cup tapioca starch
1/4 Cup Expandex (Whole Foods, Celiac Specialties, LLC or Heartlands Finest)
Carol Fenster's Flour mixture
1 1/2 Cups sorghum flour
1 1/2 Cups potato or corn starch (corn starch is preferred)
1 Cup tapioca flour
1/2 Cup corn flour – Buy Bob's Red Mill in health food store or Latino market. This is masa de hariña.
Makes 4 ½ Cups

Sick leave for part-time workers approved by Eugene City Council
EUGENE, Ore. - A local ordinance requiring employers to provide paid sick time to part-time employees passed the Eugene City Council 5-3 Monday night.
The measure takes effect in July 2015.
The proposal was unpopular with many businesses, including ones in Springfield and other communities.
The City of Eugene aimed to make the requirement apply to all work done within the city, regardless of where a company is headquartered.
Lane County took action last week to limit that aspect of the City's ordinance.
"Doing paid sick leave this way at the city level garauntees one thing: we've just started a legal fight with the county," said Councilor Mike Clark, who voted against the measure.
Others felt the benefit is long overdue - and it was time to act locally.
"The United States is the only industrialized county in the world that does not provide this benefit to its workers," Councilor Alan Zelenka said.
Since the first discussion 6 months ago, the ordinance has changed, said Councilor Claire Syrett, who voted to pass the measure.
"We are trying to get after folks who really are working in the city on a regular basis," she said, "and those are the folks we want covered by this ordinance."
Syrett said the ordinance passed will exempt companies that already have paid timeoff policies.
It will also exempt local governments and building trades who are already covered by collective bargaining arrangements.
And for employers based outside city limits, workers can only acrue paid sick leave if they are scheduled to work at least 240 hours within the Eugene city limits.
If applicable, workers will earn 1 hour paid time off for every 30 hours worked.
"We are really looking to cover what we estimated to be about 25,000 mostly low-wage workers who right now have not had this protection," Syrett said.

Bureau of Counterterrorism
The Bureau of Counterterrorism is a bureau of the United States Department of State. It coordinates all U.S. Government efforts to improve counter-terrorism cooperation with foreign governments and participates in the development, coordination, and implementation of American counterterrorism policy.
In June 2007, Ambassador at Large Dell Dailey was appointed to be the Coordinator for Counterterrorism. Under Secretary Clinton, the Coordinator for Counterterrorism from 2009 to 2012 was Ambassador-at-Large Daniel Benjamin. Beginning December 10, 2012, the Acting Director is Ambassador-at-Large Jerry P. Lanier.[1]
|This section needs additional citations for verification. (June 2014)
The United States Counterterrorism Policy has four main aims:
- to make no concessions to terrorists and strike no deals;
- to bring terrorists to justice for their crimes;
- to isolate and apply pressure on states that sponsor terrorism to force them to change their behavior; and
- to bolster the counter-terrorism capabilities of those countries that work with the U.S. and require assistance.
Regarding international terrorism, the U.S. Government will make no concessions to individuals or groups holding official or private U.S. citizens hostage. The United States will use every appropriate resource to gain the safe return of American citizens held hostage. At the same time, it is U.S. Government policy to deny hostage takers the benefits of ransom, prisoner releases, policy changes, or other acts of concession.
An Office for Combatting Terrorism was created in the State Department in 1972 after the Munich Olympics terrorist attack. Its name and legal authorization has changed a few times, and it was renamed the Bureau of Counterterrorism in 2012.[2]
In reaction to the State Department's 2004 proposal to omit terrorism figures from its Report to Congress, Larry C. Johnson stated that the State department was put in charge of coordinating counter-terrorism functions across government agencies by a presidential directive in 1986.[3] Johnson wrote:
I believe that part of the reason the statistics became an issue again this year is because of the failure to keep the position of the Coordinator for Counter Terrorism filled with a competent Presidential appointee. That slot has been vacant now for almost six months.
While the conventional wisdom is that State Department's role in combating terrorism consists of sending stern diplomatic notes to terrorists, it is an unfair and inaccurate perception. State Department's role as the lead for coordinating international terrorism emerged in the mid-1980s in the wake of devastating attacks in Lebanon.
A National Security Decision Directive signed by President Ronald Reagan in early 1986 gave State the responsibility of coordinating international terrorism policy. This was in response to an interagency fight that broke out during an effort to apprehend the terrorists responsible for the hijacking of the Achille Lauro cruise ship. While flying over Italy in late 1985 in pursuit of Abu Abbas, a State Department official and a CIA officer argued heatedly over who was in charge of the mission.
Recognizing the need for a clear chain of command the Department of State was put in charge of coordinating the efforts of CIA, DOD, and FBI to track and deal with terrorism. The first man put in charge of this effort was L. Paul (Jerry) Bremer.
The Department of State reorganized again in January 2012, elevating the former Office for the Coordinator for Counterterrorism to a bureau after the Quadrennial Diplomacy and Development Review[4][5]
