Although the majority of funding for programs at CWC comes from the State of Maine, state assistance through Medicare and Medicaid is not sufficient to cover all of the critical assistance we provide to our consumers.

Stephens County commissioners approve sales tax distribution agreement
TOCCOA, Ga. - Stephens County commissioners this week unanimously approved a local option sales tax distribution agreement.
Under the proposed agreement, Stephens County, the city of Toccoa, and the city of Martin all would receive the same percentage of revenue from a 1-cent local option sales tax as they have since the tax was implemented 10 years ago. Stephens County would receive 63.51 percent, Toccoa 35.26 percent and Martin 1.23 percent.
The county government part of the tax revenue is used to help pay for the government's general operating expenses.
Toccoa commissioners also unanimously approved the same 10-year distribution agreement at their meeting this week.
Martin commissioners must sign off on the agreement as well before it could take effect.
Toccoa city manager Mike Jackson said the proposal is the result of 60 days of negotiation and 30 days of mediation. He said he feels it is the fairest agreement that could be reached.
"I am reminded of a mentor of mine early in my career who told me when you are involved in an important negotiation, sometimes the best outcome is one in which all of the participants are a little disappointed," Jackson said. "I think we found that place."

Ski Resorts for Nightlife
Theres something about the ski vibe that carries easily over into the wee hours. Maybe its the on-slope fashion. Perhaps its the need to brag about your exploits long after the lifts close. Whatever, lets just say the need to party after the slopes is best surmised by the mantra, If you work hard, you can damn well play hard, too. While après-ski in some sleepy resorts extends to a few quiet beers in the base lodge, this is only the aperitif at B.C.s Whistler/Blackcomb or Quebecs Tremblant. Heavenly has casinos, bars, and nightclubs. Aspen has a dizzying array of pubs and live music venues (that have hosted acts as diverse as Ziggy Marley to the Violent Femmes). Mind you, party too hard and itll soon be time to ski again.

2009 SEMA: 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe R-Spec Shows its Stuff
New lancia Stratos!
The Ultimate in one off acrs is the Ferrari P4/5
any GM concept car.
The Mazda Furai wins my vote, hands-down.
Sixteen. Cien. SS. need i say more?
Bmw M1 Procar , what a car!!! :smirk:
Mazda Kabura. Why on Earth didn't they decide to produce it?
Cadillac Sixteen is amazing. Saw it in person and was utterly blown away.I also like the Cadillac Cien and Chevy SS (which I also saw in person)Finally, I know it's a little old, both version of the Olds Intrigue OSV are sweet!
+1 for the Riviera concept, how could I have forgotten!? Also, the Saab Aero-X with the true jet inspirations.
I loved the Buick Riviera Concept from a few years ago. Beautiful looking and who doesn't love gullwing doors.
shelby gr-1!
Sixteen and Cien
The Corvette 4 rotor Wankel "Aerovette" and the AMX/3 from the 70's
Cadillac Sixteen.
For sure it has to be the Lamborghini estoque.
BMW Concept CSBMW M1 Concept
I have to agree with the Cadillacs, the Cien or the Sixteen depending on what mood I am in.
I was totally thinking the Holden Efijy but the Saab Aero X was pretty fantastic as well...Love them both!
Dodge Challenger SRT10Because a lot is never enough...
Saab Aero X for sure, though the project GINA and Corvette Stingray concept are pretty cool.
Totally forgot about the cadillac sixteen. I saw that on top gear, what a car. That would be the halo of cadillac...actually it should have been the halo for the entire GM. That was a hell of a car. It would have put cadillac back in "world class" like it used to be years ago.
There are a lot that I like but namely theAlfa Romeo Scighera, Cadillac Cien, Sixteen, and the Lamborghini Muira concept for sure.
The Cadillac Sixteen, or more recently, the G8 ST.
I agree, Cadillac Cien or Cadillac Sixteen. Cadillac NEEDSS a halo car. CTS-V isn't going to cut it unfortunately.
either the GM Firebird III, or the Cadillac Sixteen
My favorite that I could think of, is the Cadillac Cien.
renoboy74---Let me give you a big HELL YEAH!!!!!! DOWN WITH FRITZ HENDSHITS!!!!
oh my list is long and distinguished. starting with the 1987 pontiac banshee.... that car had BAD ASS written all over its slippery body. i know the '93-97 F-bodys inherited many styling cues from the banshee, i still wish it saw production with a healthy 350 driving its rear wheels. others include the chrysler ME-4 concept.. made famous by the 1985 classic The Wraith.. that was 1 awesome set of wheels.. digging further back in the annals of automotive 1-offs the mercedes C-111 takes #3 on my list. radical bullet shaped body, gull wing doors and a wankel rotary mill mounted mid ship.. mercedes failed to put it in production but mattel sure made alot of them in 1/64 scale.. # 4 on my list is the monte carlo chevy SHOULD have made in the 90s.. Jon Moss's green RWD monte carlo pro-street. F-body underpinnings, true RWD/V-8 power *406 cubes* and a muscular stance that screamed "WE WANT OUR MUSCLE CARS BACK!!!" instead, the tepid looking, lame and pitiful excuse of a car V-6 FWD monte carlo mockery was thrown at us. SHAME ON YOU GENERAL MOTORS!!! :mad: .....and what of the promised G-8 ST that gm threw the name that car contest for? dead along with the division it was to be marketed under and that numbnutz fritz henderson refuses to resurrect the G-8 ot its ST version for american consumption under the chevy badge.... FRITZ HENDERSON CAN GO EAT A BAG OF PRUNES!!!!!! :mad:
I had posted like 6 different ones, but if I had to chose one to own it would be the VW GTI W12, a mid-engined 12 cylinder Golf, Hell yes! But if it was based on looks and overall coolness the Chrysler ME 4-12 does the trick.

Christmas Wreaths, Garlands & Greenery
During Christmas time, I always think it looks nice when people have garland with
lights hanging around their front door. My questions are: Should you use real or
fake garland? How are people hanging this around the door -- are they actually
nailing it to the door frame? Where do you buy this garland? If I buy the
artifical kind, I'd like to get something that looks pretty real. But everything
I've been seeing looks pretty darn fake.
Holiday Decorating Newbie
I'm determined to decorate our house for the holidays this year, and am looking for recommendations for a place to buy inexpensive holiday wreaths, greenery, Christmas trees, etc. (stores such as Smith and Hawken have beautiful things, but are too pricey for my budget.) There were a few suggestions in last year's newsletters, but I'd love to hear more. Thanks -- and happy holidays!

Mission Statement
The Yager Museum of Art and Culture's Mission:
The Yager Museum of Art & Culture, a center for exploration of our artistic, archaeological, ethnographical, historical materials and culture heritage, serves as an experiential learning lab that engages students in the museum's efforts in collecting, preserving, researching and interpreting collections according to the highest standards of professional practice.
The Yager Museum of Art & Culture's Vision:
Through engaging exhibitions and programs that capture the imagination of students and the public, the museum facilitates contemplation and discussion of objects and ideas from the past to spark creativity, insight, and inspiration about diverse cultures, including realities from the past and prospects for the future.
The Yager Museum of Art & Culture at Hartwick College began with Willard and Marion Yager's bequests of his collection of American Indian artifacts, art and print material, and of a substantial endowment for supporting the display and study of his collection and for research and education in American Indian studies. Since that time, the Museum has grown to include collections concentrated in archaeology, ethnography and the fine arts.
In keeping with the vision of its founder and with the mission of the College, The Yager Museum of Art & Culture is now an educational institution dedicated to the collection, preservation, interpretation and exhibition of art and artifacts. The Museum reflects the academic interests of the College and is committed to presenting them in appropriate campus settings in informative, scholarly and integrative ways. Through these and other means, the Museum plays a major role in educating the students, faculty and staff of the College and local and regional communities as well as a larger audience beyond.

At FDIC 2008, Bobby Halton talks to Campus Firewatch's head Ed Comeau about his organization's mission.
Hi and welcome on the road -- Holland we're live again from FDIC 2008. And we're very happy to have with us right now it can move from the campus firewall action and has a great website if you -- until you need to. Go to campus -- Especially if you have kids out there that might be in college -- -- a college town or in particular -- -- property you rent college kids. Tremendous amount of information there about what's going on campus. As well as what's going on in the rest the American Forest Service has has particular interest in multiple. Fatality fires. Which -- tragically starting to rise. Significantly over the last. Really eight to ten years it -- And significant job so -- welcome to on the road well Roberts -- -- and and you had some great news that you posted the other day on online instant. Announcement priorities so -- talk a little bit about what's going on campus for -- -- Or -- things we partnered up with the people's burn foundation. To develop a really innovative cutting -- you hear that all the time -- -- really it is training tool on -- player safety. It's going the end of the month across the country to every single fire department -- -- college university. It's gonna gonna -- -- that's going to have. A training program on it targeted specifically towards college demographic and those of us with kids know that's really tough reaching out to this demographic. For information -- remember. In years. Outstanding well I have a seventeen year old and so we're looking at colleges right now so. For those of us out there than half are we do have kids would you recommend folks do interleukin colleges and I've been listening -- somewhere go to school. Well there's certainly a lot of things to be looking -- when you're going to school and along with -- and academics athletics all that sort of stuff. First and foremost -- for -- 1000 we're living on campus or off. We know sprinklers save lives but also look for things that other smoke alarms in place and also. How much training goes to school provide -- the staff -- to the students. And probably more most important things no two ways though because these players as we have seen don't just happen residence halls that don't happen fraternities. We're gonna fire we saw an ocean isle North Carolina in October that killed some students who -- on vacation. What can really happen no matter where you are so not only making sure physical structures safe to make sure your child knows what to do -- fire does break out. How come. And and trust new ordinances. Make sure that your kids -- in -- sprinkler. Building he put it not only preaches it but he needs -- -- we had. Housing issue with that is rooted in the -- this year we'll hotels we have is not spread rumors we have so many people would come we have to use every single room and wrote some very nicely -- said. Involving up enough to keep it up pops up you -- what I do for a living get me -- -- -- hotel with sprinklers and and we appreciate -- are pretty -- you very -- -- -- news. I saw the note I just had this smile to -- -- my gosh. But let's back -- the kids in school for a look for a little bit -- com. After -- you know the Seton Hall -- -- you know all the tragedies we've seen in college dormitories and off campus housing. How come we still don't of our most precious treasure our children. Protected with sprinklers in these buildings what what's going on there. It's money that comes down to money really does it's it's an it's an issue that are custom install this and now. The character you -- schools with a broad brush some schools have been very aggressive and installing them into an overnight fix time. But they do have a schedule for because they're gonna get him in over the next five years or something with that. Other schools -- -- are quite as progressive or aggressive in terms of getting the sprinkler systems in place. So that's why it's important that you know not only do you -- -- physically safe building but if your child can't be -- that they know what to do. So you look for these other systems -- place as well. Really unfortunate does come down to money and it's just harsh reality of life. Now. Outside of the campus. Far watch it should do you've also been tracking our multiple tele -- most definitely yes what are the numbers as of today. As of today I think we're 137 people have been killed and what we termed catastrophic multiple fatality fires. It was a players and killed three people or more per per fire for instance. So what you're telling a 105 folks 130 -- 137 folks. In in in groups of three or more correct so we're not count the ones it is not at all -- -- 137 groups of -- is more there. And last year for -- call -- 417. People total. And keep in mind if we could kind of fix that problem. That's that's more than 10% of the -- let's focus on the total fire deaths each year. So for your kind of address that issue. We make a significant reduction -- person's country what what what do you think this happen what line multiple fired yes. A lot of it alive and I think really comes back to social economic issues such as poverty poverty is probably one of the biggest ones. A number of these players we see happening in both urban and rural settings. But it's -- poverty -- lot of people living together. And also there's -- for example during -- for using creative means to stay warm and survive. And that's the demographic -- fire safety really isn't foremost on the mind if he's just say that cupid and smoke -- this may not -- -- Really what's the root cause why didn't they have a smoke. -- for example it was -- -- rooms full and open the kill the mother her three children. There are staying at a time and just trying to survive the night and stay warm. And -- candles and I believe that a little player ultimately to. -- you look at things with them so heart rending but also okay how do we address the root cause. That led to this catastrophic -- The real tragic things just I'm just within the past few days the first six days of April. -- six consecutive days of Castro mobile Fatone fires. Like nothing we've done before excellent -- folks in Pennsylvania -- -- four loaned him ten people three generations of people. -- want to go 14. So what else you working -- besides -- -- Multiple fires can now that's. A question that that's not enough what -- -- well the other big issue that's coming up right now is that hole for electric versus lens solution smoke alarms and that's really kind of storms sweep the -- service right now as to which is the right kind of smoke alarm. So I was lot of controversy on the I'm on the international association -- violence and -- board work on that issue with you well right now we're -- couldn't really close look at. -- -- the answers from the fire Marshal their view toward make a decision. Well I think I think in the short term and have a look at this myself but I think in the short term and I'm recommending people is how both. Have both independent now -- it it's uninteresting to me is it. Several -- reasonably one of the major companies used to make. A fully. Functional fully capable dual -- and what happened was was so expensive it would buy them. And so they went to Europe what we're currently is and they're bringing it back. But that the smart money right now is that and I agonizing and photovoltaic. Function in your home in my opinion functioning everywhere we're gonna get further down the line and I know there were issues with. That the American versions that we're kind of and re calibrated if you will -- on the testing. You know controversy that we have. But I think it that the point for guys like you and I is let's get -- -- records -- -- let's get the right technology out there whatever is in the mean time. Let's get both in the home. Work and operating don't take any chances. Let's let the scientists do the science. You know I get it probably five phone calls a week from some guys and burn room and no disrespect the -- somewhere somewhere else -- and you know we just that this it didn't work. Oh okay. That's not science means interest and that's not science and you know I see. Politicians now it jumping on when a fan of this kind of sand that -- don't ban anything. You know don't ban anything. It's smoke alarms sprinklers save lives don't ban anything. Burglars were there were everywhere we don't want the public to think that smoke alarms that's exactly we know that they work. It's one of the cases is -- one good there's another better. Until we figure that and couldn't be depending upon the fire. All we know that I'm definitely we -- absolutely absolutely got to particulate matter and everything else so. It interest and controversy and I think that I think we're gonna see -- generation -- dual head detectors and that will pick up the faintest and things will pick up the larger and that's -- S ago and I think eventually we're gonna see detectors that are gonna pick up. Chemical and increases spikes a -- of of sign on earth or chloride or. I don't you care they're gonna they'll figured out overseas spikes. Chemical spiked detectors and also be. And even more. Effective because we won't have to have. Really smoke generation that.

Ezra Klein thinks Charles Blahous's cost estimate is laughable:
The graph above compares Blahous's baseline to the "current law" baseline. That's already stacking the deck: The current law baseline assumes the expiration of all the Bush tax cuts, it assumes the spending sequester will take effect, it assumes huge Medicare cuts that Congress will never permit, and much more. If we follow current law, we don't really have a deficit problem. No one believes we will follow current law. If they did, they wouldn't worry about deficits.
Blahous defends his calculations:
The historical evidence is overwhelming that Congressional behavior is heavily influenced by Social Security and Medicare solvency determinations. Specifically, Congress is much less likely to enact cost-containment measures in either program when projected insolvency is more distant. Supporters of the ACA have elsewhere made clear that they agree the ACA will extend the Medicare Trust Fund's solvency, protect its spending authority, lessen the risk of near-term benefit reductions, and mitigate the urgency of further Medicare reforms.
Blahous has a point here, even if his overall calculations are flawed. On the whole, I agree with Howard Gleckman that the eventual cost of Obamacare is highly uncertain. The CBO estimate may be better than Blahous's, but one look at the CBO's cost-projection track-record and its self-professed uncertainty should humble pundits of all stripes.

I am interested in taking my younger brother on a longer hike and was thinking about making a loop out of the Iron Mountain Trail and the AT. I've only been able to find limited info online. Has anyone here done the loop? Is it worth doing? Or is there a good reason everyone seems to ignore it?Edit - I forgot to add this. There are actually two possilbe loops. The AT/Iron Mtn. Trail north of Damascus which I'm guessing is about 60 miles and includes Grayson Highlands. The second is the AT/Iron Mtn. Trail south of Damasscus ending at Hwy. 91. I'd be interested in hearing about either, how scenic are they, and any special info. Thanks
Edited by Cameron on 05/16/2012 21:35:55 MDT.
The Southern loop has been on my list for sometime and I'm hoping to get it done this summer. The Southern Iron Mtn Trail isn't that well maintained from what I've read. I've also heard that section is a bit dry with water sources further off trail and quite a few more ups & downs than the AT section that replaced it. I remember liking the AT between 91 and Damascus and telling myself to do it again.I believe most of the northern IMT is a horse trail and maintained by a riding club. Be sure to report back when you guys do the trip!
It is a good loop. The most scenic is of course the Grayson Highlands/White top section but the Iron Mtn. is not too bad but it is on a horse trail with some muddy sections. It was the old AT so there are still shelters along it too. Plenty of options to make is longer or shorter depending on where you want to start. We started from Grayson Highlands so didn't go all the way to Damascus.
Thanks Alex and Patrick. I just got back from doing it yesterday. It was an awesome trip. The Iron Mountain Trail was actually pretty good. I'll post a trip report at some point but right now I need to get ready for a funeral so it might be a while.
Luke,Did you do the southern loop or the northern loop from Damascus? My brother and I are planning to do the southern loop in the spring and would love to hear your thoughts on that trail if that's the one you did.
We did the northern loop so I can't say much about the southern loop. I liked the northern loop a lot because Whitetop Mtn. and the Grayson Highlands were both very scenic. The southern end might have less people but I'm not sure the views are as good.
Luke, Here is a trip report I did AT/iron mountain loop. I'm guessing this is what is called the northern loop since I did not go all the way to Damascus. Its a really nice loop I enjoyed it. mount_rogers_trip_report Jamie
Jamie that is a nice trip report. We did basically the same loop that you did but we started from the Grindstone campground and did the hike in the opposite direction. The full report is here. http://www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-bin/backpackinglight/forums/thread_display.html?forum_thread_id=65142

The Drue Heinz British Pediatric Fellowship Program offers the unique opportunity to travel abroad to pursue avenues of collaboration with British health care professionals at several leading pediatric facilities throughout Great Britain.
The program was launched in 1995 by the British Consulate General, New York, as the British government's way of publicly thanking Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC and its staff for the care that was provided to Laura Davies. Laura was a child from Manchester, England, who died in 1993 after twice receiving organ transplants at Children's Hospital. The objective of the exchange is to develop collegial relationships between health care professionals from Britain and from Children's and to allow participants to share knowledge through participation and study at each other's health care facilities.
This fellowship allows individuals from Children's to spend up to three months of study and teaching at Manchester and other children's hospitals in Britain. The Royal Manchester Children's Hospital Pediatric Fellowship, funded by a grant from the Laura Davies Trust Fund and now administered by Salford and Trafford Health Authority, allows individuals from The Royal Manchester Children's Hospital to spend up to three months "in residence" at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC.
Application Steps
- The application process is ongoing.
- Complete an application form and send it to the Office of Medical Affairs.
- Applicants must also provide a letter of support from their Children's department chair, division chief, or chief medical officer.
- Members of the British Pediatric Fellowship Committee convene and review all applications.

multiple but different displays
I like everything about openlp so far. We have gooten a little used to being able to display the lyrics on the projector and the lyrics and chords on the stage monitors, however. Is that a current feature or in the planning? We have been using easislides but its not really non-techy friendly unless the songs are already in the list. We are looking for something that is a little easier to use but still displays the chords to only the stage monitors.
ty for your time and the effort that went into openlp

Speer was pronounced dead at the scene.

Collins, Wright looking forward to Mike Piazza's moment
Terry Collins told reporters yesterday he is looking forward to today's Hall of Fame induction ceremony for Mike Piazza.
"To go in the Mets Hall of Fame is a special day for Mike," Collins explained. "He's certainly well-deserving.He's the greatest offensive catcher the game has ever seen, so it'll be fun to see him.I like Mike a lot, so it'll be fun to say hi to him.''
Collins has known Piazza since he was drafted by the Dodgers in the 62nd round of the 1988 amateur draft – Terry was managing their Pacific Coast League affiliate in Albuquerque that season.
Meanwhile, David Wright – who played with Piazza in 2004 and 2005 – intends to be on the field when Piazza is inducted into the team's Hall of Fame.
"I'm definitely going to make sure I'm out there to enjoy it and celebrate Mike's career," Wright told reporters on Saturday. "I care deeply about this organization and Mike is a big part of the history of this organization, and also he was a teammate. It'll be nice to celebrate Mike.''

Tanzanian Teachers to Strike
14th June 2012
Classroom in Tanzania
Tanzanian teachers have said they will strike if the government does not pay them a living wage Teachers in Tanzania earn as little as $120 a month and sometimes even that is not paid. For example 500 teachers were struck off the payroll because the administration thought they were dead when in fact they are still working in schools. President of the Tanzanian Teachers Union, Gratian Mkoba told reporters: "After we established this blunder, we communicated with the office of the President, Public Service Management who told us that the teachers who have not been paid last month's salary will be considered this month. We are surprised. This teacher is on duty and it is not him who committed the offence, why don't they pay them on the spot instead of letting them continue to starve?. How are they going to survive?" This is typical of the way teachers are treated in Tanzania and all over the Global South. But The TTU are fighting back and demanding a 100% increase in their pay as well as allowances and extra pay for working in remote rural areas. The union also point out that conditions in the schools are woefully inadequate, with a lack of books and desks - leave alone libraries and laboratories - making teaching extremely difficult. As teachersolidarity reported in 2010: When you consider that Tanzania is the third largest exporter of gold in Africa it is a scandal that teachers for example are not even receiving enough salary to meet their own basic needs – leave alone having the ability to provide a decent life for their families. The Tanzanian government gets only a tiny fraction of the value of the gold under Tanzanian soil – valued at $2.5billion over the last five years while tax revenues have averaged a paltry $21million per year. These arrangements as usual were the result of World Bank intervention together with a UK consultancy firm which produced an act which amongst other things 'allows 100 per cent ownership of minerals and mines to foreign corporations, preventing the government from entering into joint ventures; the right to employ unlimited foreign personnel and unrestricted repatriation of capital and profits'. This is of course the same World Bank which is promoting Education for All. To read more about this scandalous gift of Tanzanian wealth to foreign multinationals go to the following link:
Teachers in Tanzania will go on strike at the beginning of July if their demands are not met.

Developed by Unknown Worlds Entertainment, Natural Selection 2 multiplayer game received a few massive patches in the last three weeks.
The latest update brings several fixes and adds some balance adjustments, which are meant to improve the gameplay experience.
The following balance changes have been added in this patch:
- Changed combat time-out to 3 seconds (was 1.5) seconds (makes Regeneration and Cloaking less powerful and easy to use);
- Reduced Shade cloaking radius from 20 to 14;
- Re-balanced Crags so they now self-heal, but only give 3% health every 2 seconds (min 10, max 40). (was 5%, min 10, max 50);
A fair share of bug fixes are provided as well, including:
- Fixed error when starting Explore mode;
- Fixed bug where Crags were getting too much health.
For the complete list of changes included in the latest patch for Natural Selection 2, check out the official announcement.

This open thread is your space to use as you like. We invite you to discuss current and traditional etiquette. Feel free to ask questions of each other and the community moderators here.
Recently I've been invited to two engagement parties but not to the subsequent "small" weddings. I always thought an invitation to the engagement party was reserved for wedding guests and was offended when I was not invited to the actual wedding, especially after I attended both parties and gave gifts. What is the rule here?
I agree completely with Alicia. From what I have read here and my own personal convictions, it is considered a "gift or money grabbing event" when some people are only invited to engagement and bachelor parties or showers, but not included in the actual event. I was once invited to several wedding showers and engagement parties for one couple, but not to the actual ceremony. I declined attending their events (they were evites). That was my personal choice, but it seemed awkward and unaccommodating that I would not be present at the wedding and reception.
At a recent birthday lunch party I attended, the hostess cut some of the birthday cake for several of the guests who were leaving early to take home. The guest of honor (hostess' 15 year old daughter) was not served first. This went on for a while until almost half of the cake was gone. Finally several of the guests who stayed on asked the hostess if they could have cake, but she became upset and said that they had to wait until the guest of honor had her picture taken with the cake and wait for the Happy Birthday song to be sung. Some of these guests felt belittled by the whole incident.
What should the hostess have done in this situation?
She should not have cut the cake for the guests leaving early. They made the decision to leave early, so they miss whatever happens after they leave. A hostess shouldn't serve some guests and tell others they have to wait. The other alternative was to move up the entire cake cutting, including the picture before the cake cutting, to earlier in the event, but this may not have been plausible with the timing of the event.
When I was a whippersnapper having birthday parties, my mom told me that since it was my party, I was the hostess and had to serve myself *last*–a hostess can't enjoy herself until all her guests have been seen to. I've not seen that etiquette rule written down anywhere, so I don't know if it is technically correct, but it makes sense to me that the birthday girl would not get any cake until everyone else has some. About the staggered cake distribution I totally agree that it was bizarre. Also, who wants their picture taken with half a cake?
We have a new neighbor who just moved a few weeks ago. They were having a birthday party for their son yesterday, Saturday 09/03. The party started in the morning, around 10:00 or 11:00 AM, but they came around 3:30 PM to invite our daughters… My wife did not want to go because she thinks they should have invited us at least 24 hours earlier. I thought that we should go even though we would have stayed just for little while… Finally we did not go… So what should we do now?
Nothing. What is there to do?
They came 5 1/2 hours into the party to invite your daughters? Are your daughters and their son playmates? Maybe they just wanted to be neighborly and have you stop by to enjoy some food in an extremely casual way. I would just move past it at this point. Don't act annoyed toward them, though. Just continue being neighborly.
I recently had a fallout with my wife's sister when i finally felt i had to speak up about her coming over to my home unannounced or on very short notice. I was politely and calm about everything i said, well she didn't like it got up and left with her husband and daughters. She called me rude and i fired back. Now this woman is ( not only my opinion as her other sisters and coworkers have said this about her too) inconsiderate, thoughtless, tactless, and selfish and has never tried to befriend me and i have been in her family for ten years. God knows i have tried to engage her in conversations but she doesn't seem to care to carry on,i have told my wife about this but she says that is how she is and i have to accept it so, i have told my wife that her sister has to then be fair and accept the way i am. My wife didn't say i was wrong but at the same time she told me she wanted to avoid discord all i asked for was for a little respect too ,i always respect them at all cost even though they(wife's family) are poorly mannered and it is all about them. My wife and i are very considerate and thoughtful toward them and their daughters during birthdays, Christmas ,etc… And all that my wife has learned through me as my South American culture has rubbed off on her. I just felt i had to let it loose cause i have been holding it for years. It is just too bad some people don't get it.
Should i have kept my mouth shut or did i have enough reason to let it out?
You don't have to keep your mouth shut, but you shouldn't let her have it either. In the case of her coming over unannounced, you should tell her "I'd appreciate if you called ahead of time before coming over. I've been known to be a little messy from time to time, and I would be embarrassed to not have a chance to clean up for you."
As far as short notice visits go, when they say, "How about we come over tonight?" say "We're busy. That won't work for us."
The bottom line is, you should seek out the appropriate response to each offense and avoid general statements like "you always do this" as they never end well. There is a way to keep your dignity and be polite.
I'm sorry to say (though I feel your frustration with your sister in law and it seems there is alot more at play here that we don't know about from your explanation) that you should not have tried to "hash things out" with your SIL at this time or at all. This outburst was certainly not a step in the right direction for your already rocky relationship with your SIL, and it also put your wife in a very bad position.
The right thing to do would have been to maintain your cool and have a private and direct conversation with your wife afterwards explaining your concerns. Ie. "I really feel your sister is taking advantage of our hospitality, and I think it is only appropriate that she give us more notice, as well as ask us, before coming over in the future. I'd appreciate if you would say something to her, because it has become too hard on me and our family to keep accomodating her unannounced visits." It should be up to your wife to share your family's rules with her sister, not up to you. And she should phrase it as "our rules" without making you sound like the bad guy.
If, after your wife informed her sister of the new rules on visits, she showed up unannounced again you and your wife would have been completely within your rights to greet her simply with "I'm sorry Michelle, we didn't know you'd be stopping by. We aren't able to have company at this time." You don't owe her any reasons.
Since the damage has already been done, it seems you and your wife have some decisions to make together on how to handle her sister in the future and how to make ammends, if that is what you choose to do. (And I hope for the sake of all involved that you and your wife do choose to smooth things out with her.) You must realize when you choose to marry someone, that their family comes as a package deal. And you and your wife must deal with problems as a team. When it comes to her side of the family she is the captain, and it is her job to be liason for your family.
Well stated, Country Girl, and I agree on all counts.
I would add that you may owe an apology to your SIL depending on how you "fired back" at her. You should never stoop to the "offender's" level, so to speak, however challenging and difficult that may be. The gracious thing to do would be to apologize for your outburst or however you may have been in the wrong. This doesn't mean you apologize for asking her to respect your family's rules or wishes.
I would definitely reiterate that it is almost universally best to allow the person related to the extended family member(s) to address any discord or bad behavior. It's often not well received from the one who married into the family, no matter how right or justified it may be.
Good luck!
Appreciate the feedback but believe me we have had this conversation before but she doesn't get it,you guys would feel frustrated if you knew how they lived there lives, my wives family lives like it is all about them. I was raised to be considerate and respect people and property. My wife has communicated this to her many times but falls on deaf ears. I was as nice as possible, even going as far to say "i am sorry this offends you but please give us ample time to prepare by calling us at least an hr. before you visit". As far as firing back goes, she called me rude cause she didn't like the fact that she was wrong for coming without calling and because i said she was rude for thinking that everyone should live as she does . I have been very good to her (eventhough she has never tried to engage me in any conversation whatsoever or try to be my friend. I have communicated this to my wife but my wife says i have to accept the way she is. I am good to her husband and daughters, doing things for them just because it comes from the heart and that is the way i am. Buying them coffee, gives for birthday's and Christmas!! Never once do they ever think of me the way i think of them. There wasn't any outburst and i was very p0lite like i always am, to everyone! But there some people who don't know what that is . I don't feel like i have to apologize as it is my home, and this has been communicated to her by my wife many times. There is nothing more to it than my SIL just being an inconsiderate and thoughtless and believe if you three knew her you would side with me on this!! I consider myself as a passive person but everybody has their boundaries and she overstepped them once too many times.

Design Gallery 2
Marine Steam Engine
I made this model marine steam engine around 1985/87 based upon the Edgar T. Westbury design for his 'Diagonal Paddle Engine' as published in the' Model Engineer' magazine of circa 1956. Business wasn't too busy in the mid 1980's so I had the crazy idea to make a batch of five! A first class design with lots of atmosphere without too much endless detail. You will see on my model paddle wheel page I am/was able to offer the paddle wheel components in kit form to other model engineers.
The diagonal paddle engine as illustrated here in its uncompleted form incorporates several constructional changes, I cannot hwelp but 'improve' ... I was taught to think at Hardys ! The main mod being frames of 1/8 inch brass sheet thereby providing me with an accurate and flat datum to build the engines up from, no way could I work from the aluminium frames as supplied by the castings people. I suppose that's the toolmaker in me, again its my training. All motion pins in this version are hardened and tempered silver steel, with hindsight I would use case hardened mild steel. I am pleased with the eccentric rods, which look very 'dainty' and I also made an effort to make a better looking bearing keep than is usually fitted. I'm very keen on fitting the appropriate studding and nuts as would be typical full size practice, I doubt you'll ever see many slotted screws in any of my model engineering projects. I even made the recommended silver steel three bladed milling cutter to machine all three cylinder ports in one go. See my model paddle wheel page for kits of parts to construct the matching paddle wheels.
18th Century Bow Drills
I found illustrations of these eighteenth century bow drills and associated ratchet/ bow handles in Bergeron's 'Manuel du Tourner' of 1816. I'd been suggested this book; when I was about fifteen years old along with about a dozen other titles by the man I was intending to serve my apprenticeship with, I never got to start the apprenticeship with him (probably just as well). However the reading list was invaluable, such gems as Holtzapffel's five volume 'Turning and Mechanical Manipulation', long before the low cost reprints became available. In the photograph I've forgotten to include the steel bows which fit into the ratchet handles, I forged these myself from old lorry axle spring, all this when I was about twenty years old - I must have been very keen!; The ratchet wheels were made by me, at the time I was exploring ways of making clock wheels and pinions therefore any excuse to cut a toothed wheel. You will see that one thumbscrew is English pattern, the other is French. The handles are the same material as I used for the shoulder plane infill, an excellent piece of rosewood given to me by an ex work colleague at Hardys.

Academic Affairs Council
November 1, 2007
Present: Lynette Carlson, Bill Gear, Julia Williams, Jackie Millslagle
Excused: Fay Mass
No curriculum, so the agenda for this meeting was to determine what one or two items this Council would like to study as time permits.
Bill suggested that this group clarify guidelines for curriculum changes around online education, e.g., define internet-based vs. partially-internet-based. Council members will go back to the individual departments to list issues/questions around how to accurately reflect the in systems the various uses/methods of online learning. Example questions:
- What does "hybrid" mean?
- What does "blended" mean?
- What should students know about how a course is delivered before enrolling?
Internships policies, practices and workload protocol. How consistent are we across departments; how consistent should we be? Jackie will develop a list of questions that can be used to survey departments and have them ready for review at the next meeting.
Jackie Millslagle, Recorder

We saw above that the debian repositories provide an outdated version of wine. The latest version can be installed from the wine website.
To install the latest version of wine download the deb packages from the following url http://dev.carbon-project.org/debian/wine-unstable/
Download the correct packages from the amd64 or x86 category depending on your system architecture.
Next we shall install gdebi which can be used to install the deb packages. The dpkg command can also be used to install the deb packages, but it does not install the dependencies automatically. gdebi does this.
# apt-get install gdebi
Now, we shall use gdebi to install all the deb files downloaded in the previous step. However first we need to install a few additional packages.
# aptitude install libc6-dev-i386 oss-compat lib32z1 # aptitude install libc6-i386 # aptitude install ia32-libs
Now install wine debs.
# gdebi libwine-* # gdebi wine-*
So now wine should be installed properly. Check the version to confirm
# wine --version wine-1.5.5
Note that if you installed wine from debian repositories previously, then you need to remove it first.
# aptitude remove libwine-bin:i386
Now launch the wine configuration window like before. It would prompt you to download gecko. Click OK to download gecko. This is used to render webpages in the applications.
Next, when launching wine applications it would show a message like this
It appears that libnss-mdns is installed on your system, but lib32nss-mdns is not. Please note that Wine will not be able to access the Internet unless you either install lib32nss-mdns (or ia32-libnss-mdns), or uninstall libnss-mdns.
Fix this by installing the necessary packages.
# aptitude install lib32nss-mdns
Now wine applications should start without any notice or messages.
After doing all the above, if you encounter dependency errors, then try using the following command
# apt-get install -f
It installs the necessary packages from broken packages and attempts to fix broken dependency errors. Now you should have wine installed properly on your Debian machine.
Install Sketchup Make 2013[edit]
- Download "SketchUp Make 2013" (free version): http://www.sketchup.com/download/all
- Install from sketchup executable for windows by right clicking on the .exe and selecting 'Wine Windows Program Loader'
- You will most likely get the "SketchUp was unable to initalize OpenGL" message the first time you try to run sketchup, download File:Force sketchup hw accel.reg to your home directory and install by launching a terminal and typing
wine regedit /s force_sketchup_hw_accel.reg
If you have trouble installing or running SketchUp on Wine, you might try using these registry settings files to correct the problem. To use one, just download it into your home directory, launch a terminal and type
wine regedit /s filename
where filename is the name of the registry file.
- "SketchUp was unable to initalize OpenGL": If you see this error, download File:Force sketchup hw accel.reg
- SketchUp crashes on start with no error message: Force off the "Welcome to SketchUp" dialog with File:Disable welcome.reg
- SketchUp crashes on or shortly after startup; either the main window is displayed, or you have already disabled the Welcome screen: Force off the "Snappy Instructor" dialog with File:Disable instructor.reg

"Finnish designers have created a stunning range of swimsuits specifically for women who have lost a breast through breast cancer." The results are inspirational, and designers of all swimsuits should take a cue from how creative these suits are.
What especially great about these designs is that instead of trying to minimize the appearance of the solitary breasts, they highlight it. And the effect is stunning, as the models looks happy, confident, and pretty badass. (Buzzfeed)

|After the knock-out success of The Bourne Ultimatum, a new film from Paul Greengrass and Matt Damon carries no shortage of expectation. We've been given the exclusive first official shot from Green Zone, a film that sees the pair heading in a new, more ambitious, direction. Click the image below for a closer look.
Loosely based on Rajiv Chandresekaran's book Imperial Life In The Emerald City, Green Zone has Damon as chief warrant officer Roy Miller, a soldier stationed in Iraq after the overthrow of Saddam Hussein and charged with finding weapons of mass destruction. Quickly suspecting that said WMDs don't actually exist, he seeks out the truth, with perilous results.
While you shouldn't expect Bourne 4, this is planned as a full-on thriller and with Greengrass' form on tackling political hot topics (Bloody Sunday, United 93), we're hoping for, and expecting, something intelligent and riveting.For more of our exclusive visit to the set of Green Zone pick up the new issue of Empire, which contains a massive preview also including Harry Potter 6, Australia, Wolverine, The Day The Earth Stood Still, The Road, and many more.

Eight-year-old Virginia O'Hanlon wrote a letter to the editor of New York's Sun, and the quick response was printed as an unsigned editorial Sept. 21, 1897. The work of veteran newsman Francis Pharcellus Church has since become history's most reprinted newspaper editorial.
Brunswick County Schools are working hard to establish more digital learning environments for students, although the glitches they have encountered thus far have little to do with technology.
The inability to keep pace with statewide and national trends not only affects student learning, but also the school system's bottom line.
Most of us would think twice before dropping $35,000 on a new vehicle or $350,00 on a new home. We would do some research to make sure we were getting a fair deal on a sound investment and take time to carefully consider all options before agreeing to a final price.
About 6 a.m. Thanksgiving Day, volunteers gathered at Shallotte Presbyterian Church to prepare holiday suppers for those in the community who receive Meals On Wheels. Offered through Brunswick Senior Resources Inc., Meals On Wheels volunteers deliver hot meals to adults 60 and older who are homebound or at BSRI senior centers and sites throughout the county. The volunteers took time out of their holiday with their own families and friends to make sure their neighbors would not go without participating in the traditional feast.
The revival of Shallotte's once-bustling riverwalk, as well as the development of other properties central to the town's vision plan, is progressing at a steady pace.
At its regular meeting earlier this month, the Shallotte Board of Aldermen approved the acquisition, sources of funding and contracts to buy properties on Cheers and Wall streets.
This essentially completes the property purchases necessary for the town's riverfront project, an idea first proposed in 2008 as part of Shallotte's vision plan.
The decision by the majority of the Brunswick County Board of Education to terminate Superintendent Dr. Edward Pruden's contract is bad enough.
But the inaccessibility of those three members — Shirley Babson, Catherine Cooke and newly re-elected Charlie Miller — in the immediate aftermath makes it much worse.
After the decision was announced following a special-called meeting Nov. 12, Babson, Cooke and Miller bolted from the board's meeting room at the Brunswick County Schools Administrative Offices in Bolivia.
United States veterans are traditionally honored at the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month, the latter of which is the anniversary of the armistice that ended World War I.
Originally, in 1938, Congress made Nov. 11 Armistice Day, a legal holiday celebrating world peace and honoring World War I veterans. In 1954, Congress amended that act to make the holiday Veterans Day, honoring American veterans of all wars. After some confusion over what date the holiday should be observed, however, Veterans Day again was designated as Nov. 11 in 1978.
Election Day 2014 is over. Now the time has come to plan the next steps for local, state and federal government officials who have been elected to serve us.
Those steps could not be possible without the people who have already taken the first, most important step in our democratic process: voters.

The Cuckoo's Callingby J. K. Rowling as Robert Galbraith
Staff Pick
J. K. Rowling scores a big hit with her incognito foray into the mystery genre. No, she was not happy to be outed as Robert Galbraith, but her cantankerous, grumpy P.I. and excellent story will make you happy that she was. Here's hoping she continues making inroads into adult literature.
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
A brilliant debut mystery in a classic vein: Detective Cormoran Strike investigates a supermodel's suicide.
After losing his leg to a land mine in Afghanistan, Cormoran Strike is barely scraping by as a private investigator. Strike is down to one client, and creditors are calling. He has also just broken up with his longtime girlfriend and is living in his office.
Then John Bristow walks through his door with an amazing story: His sister, the legendary supermodel Lula Landry, known to her friends as the Cuckoo, famously fell to her death a few months earlier. The police ruled it a suicide, but John refuses to believe that. The case plunges Strike into the world of multimillionaire beauties, rock-star boyfriends, and desperate designers, and it introduces him to every variety of pleasure, enticement, seduction, and delusion known to man.
You may think you know detectives, but you've never met one quite like Strike. You may think you know about the wealthy and famous, but you've never seen them under an investigation like this.
Introducing Cormoran Strike, this is the acclaimed first crime novel by J.K. Rowling, writing under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith.
"Combines a complex and compelling sleuth and an equally well-formed and unlikely assistant with a baffling crime....A stellar debut." Publishers Weekly, starred review
"Instantly absorbing, featuring a detective facing crumbling circumstances with resolve instead of clichéd self-destruction and a lovable sidekick with contagious enthusiasm for detection. Strike bears little resemblance to Jackson Brodie, but Kate Atkinson's fans will appreciate his reliance on deduction and observation along with Galbraith's skilled storytelling." Booklist
"Plenty of twists....Totally engrossing....Galbraith's take on contemporary celebrity obsession makes for a grand beach read." Library Journal, starred review (Mystery Debut of the Month)
"A page-turner featuring an uncommon hero....This engrossing story boasts a fascinating cast of fast-track suspects....Robert Galbraith has added a singular new voice to the genre of crime fiction with his engaging debut novel." BookPage
"The Cuckoo's Calling reminds me why I fell in love with crime fiction in the first place." Val McDermid, bestselling author of The Vanishing Point
"Cormoran Strike is an amazing creation and I can't wait for his next outing. Strike is so instantly compelling that it's hard to believe this is a debut novel. I hope there are plenty more Cormoran Strike adventures to come. A beautifully written debut novel introducing one of the most unique and compelling detectives I've come across in years." Mark Billingham, author of The Demands
"Robert Galbraith's debut is as hardbitten and hard-driving as its battered hero. Cuckoo's Calling scales the glittering heights of society even as it plumbs the dark depths of the human heart. A riveting read from an author to watch." Mike Cooper, Shamus Award-winning author of Clawback
"The private eye novel is not dead. It was merely waiting for Robert Galbraith to give it a firm squeeze, goosing it back to bold, new life. Hardboiled crime fans are going to go cuckoo for this one. I haven't had this much fun with a detective novel in years." Duane Swierczynski, Shamus and Anthony Award-winning author of Fun and Games
"A remarkably assured debut. Robert Galbraith's portrayal of celebrity-obsessed modern London is at once beautifully written and utterly engrossing, his characters so real you could eat dinner with them, his ever-coiling plot guaranteed to keep you up past your bedtime. I couldn't put it down." Owen Laukkanen, author of The Professionals
About the Author
Robert Galbraith is a pseudonym for J.K. Rowling, author of the Harry Potter series and The Casual Vacancy.

ESTABLISHED IN 2011 by ECOR and the MGH Research Advisory Council, the MGH Research Scholars program provides five years of unrestricted funding to give innovative investigators the flexibility to pursue projects that may lead in unexpected directions. Supported by philanthropic gifts, the program expanded from the first group of five recipients to eight scholars in 2012.
Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) researchers are investigating a new way to block reproduction of the hepatitis C virus – targeting not the virus itself but the human genes the virus exploits in its life cycle.
A research consortium based at Massachusetts General Hospital has been awarded $15 million from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases to investigate how the hepatitis C virus resists suppression and clearance by the immune system.

Great image Johnny love the pose and eye contact, a shame the light on her arm is blown but still a fine image.
Nominating Constructive Critique
Yeah, got a couple liket that Darren...the light was pretty strong and couldn't get it right through the window to light her face enough without making a compromise with the light somewhere....a bit annoying and I might try "burning" it later, but I liked it all the same. Thanks Darren, appreciated!
Nominating Constructive Critique
Cheers Ian!
Nominating Constructive Critique
damn that is pretty yummy. great shot
Nominating Constructive Critique
This is so nearly a really eye catching photo.
But it is spoiled by the knuckle, it looks ugly. Maybe you could clone it out.
As has been said, too bright on the arm , and the face could do with a tad toning down.
But I reallly like the colours and the pose, the tats and the attitude.
Nominating Constructive Critique
All fair points Martin. Unfortunately my PS skills probably wouldn't stretch to successfully and cleanly cloning out the knuckles seamlessly. Wish I knew how to properly do that. The arm
I might be able to "burn" a little, as with the face in places. But as I am so poor at post processing I am scared of making a hash of the photo. May have a go and see what I can come up with.
Nominating Constructive Critique
its all about the eye contact. It lures you in and all other points raised are forgivable
Nominating Constructive Critique
Another brilliant image from this shoot John. Great natural pose captured. Agree with above comments re her thumb and burnt out arm, but does not distract too much from this capture too much. I like the fact that the lighting looks both soft and harsh at the same time. Good work. One of your best.
Oh just noticed. Congrats on your RC!

Stanfords offer 3 distinctive online services:
Stanfords Portal – download maps/data online through our Planning Portal accredited site.
Stanfords GIS for property asset management. Acts as a hosting service for your own datasets or a delivery tool for your own services.
beforeUdig for customers requiring an efficient and inexpensive utilities search service. Available now online through Stanfords Portal.
Whilst product information can be found on the relevant product page, we have created a separate Userguides page to support all our Stanfords Portal self-serve customers. If you require telephone support please contact our Service Centre on 0845 880 3730 between 9.00 a.m and 6 p.m monday to friday.
Ordnance Survey's OS MasterMap contains more than 450 million uniquely identified geographic features, representing real world information down to individual address and street and building level. The data is validated by over 300 surveyors to published quality standards, so customers know they are using nationally consistent information.
Stanfords have taken OS Mastermap Topography Layer, combined it with OS Address Layer and converted the product into a raster (image) layer for use in our new Geographical Information System (GIS). This enables customers to view their portfolio in large-scale (showing building footprints/site boundaries e.t.c) and fix attributes such as rent arrears/ gas checks/ photographs/ site plans e.t.c to the mapping information. Our GIS customers will soon also be able to export OS Mastermap from the system as vector data in dxf or dwg format. This can then be used as base mapping in CAD or Vectorworks or interrogated in a software package such as ArcGIS. This gives users an extremely flexible large-scale map product but the main virtue of our system is that the data produced from CAD or ArcGIS can then be uploaded back into our GIS and viewed as a new layer.
Our GIS is web-based and is therefore extremely easy to set up and roll out across an organisation. It also means that there is no maintenance required and no software taking up vital room on your own server(s). We are able to set up new customers on a free trial site for a week.
